SAYS NATIVE AFRICAN Dr. Aggrey Declares That American Negroes Must Feel Responsibility for Their African Brothers' Christianity. VOL. XXVIII. AMERICA MUST CH AFRICA, SAY Dr. Aggrey Declares T Must Feel Responsibi Brothers' C HAMPTON, Va. — That the time has come for the black people of the world to play their part in helping to Christianize the 400,000,000 Afri- who are suffering and dying through ignorance and exploitation; that Africa must contribute to the spread of Christianity through the work of American Negroes who feel some responsibility for their brothers in Africa; and that Mohammedism can only be checked by Christianity, through the consecration of educated leaders who will make sacrifice for their fellowmen, were ideas recently presented at Hampton Institute by Dr. J. E. K. Aggrey of Livingstone College, who was a member of the African Education Committee, which spent fourteen months in travel under the leadership of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, educational director of the Phelps-Stokes Fund. Dr. Aggrey, who was introduced by Principal Gregg, gave a vivid account of his 30,000-mile journey through Sierra Leone, Liberia, Gold Coast, Nigeria, Cameroon, Belgian Congo, Angola, South Africa and East Africa. He said: "Now and again people say, 'Liberia has failed.' I say, 'Liberia has not failed. It has not had a chance.' "In the interior of Nigeria the crescent is growing bigger and bigger, and the Cross seems to be getting weaker and weaker, but it is not getting weaker. The question of Africa and the world is: Crescent or Cross! The challenge of the ages comes from Africa: Africa is not going to be won for Christianity until Christians are themselves converted. "Black people do not prefer to worship the god of Mohammed. The white man, however, comes and says, 'God is white and the devil is black.' The Mohammedans say, 'Our God is just like yours.' "If our white friends will educate and Christianize us, fill us with hearts of love and give us a chance, we will stop the onrush of mohammedanism. "Every time the black man has been given a chance in war and has been given the flag, he has either brought back the flag with honor or reported to give the reason why." CHALLENGE TO CHRISTIAN WORLD. "The challenge has come from Africa for the Christians of the world—particularly the colored people of America—to rise up and help Africa. There are 5,000,000 people in South Africa calling for help; 6,000,000 in Angola; 17,000,000 in Nigeria; 2,000,000 on the Gold Coast; 2,500,000 in Liberia; and 2,000,000 in Sierra Leone. "Africa needs about 1,000 young men and women now. In one place 650 out of 1,000 children that are born die, because there is no nurse there to teach the people. There is no doctor there at all. The men are dying for the want of the right kind of food. "The time has come when somebody from here, either by means or by person, should make up his or her mind to touch Africa and give the continent to God. Max Yergan, one of our State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House own young men, expects to go soon. He is going to be an entrance wedge to that great continent. "All Africa is restless. In this country there is also restlessness. Africa is bubbling and anxious to reach up its hand to God. The time has come when black people themselves ought to do something. Hampton educated Booker Washington, who showed that black people are appreciative by starting Tuskegee. When they call upon you to help carry on the work that Max Yergan is going to do, I hope that you Hampton boys and girls will not fail. Y. M. C. A. LACK IN AFRICA. "There is no Y. M. C. A. in Nigeria, none on the Gold Coast, none in the Cameroon, and practically none in South Africa. There are over 60,000-000 native people without one worker among them. We are sending only Max Yergen. "The white man will bring his gold, business acumen, and railways, but the Negro is going to bring his child-like faith. What the black man wants is a God of love who came to die for him. We believe in Him and we are going to teach the world that child-like faith. "We must make our contribution to Christianity, if Africa is going to contribute anything to Christianity it must be done by our going there ourselves and, through our kinship, teaching our brothers so that we may make that contribution." NEGROES FLOG WHITE MAN NEGROES FLOG WHITE MAN TEXARKANA, Tex., Oct. — Taking pattern after the white man of the South, the Negroes have organized themselves into what is now generally known to be "Knight Owls." Their purpose is to watch what goes on at night. It is alleged by the Negroes that white men, high and low, are worse after the colored women than the colored men are after the white women, and they are determined to break up such practice. It was learned here today that a mob of Negroes severely whipped a white man and a colored woman when they were discovered together near the colored baseball park last night, according to officials who investigated the matter today. Officials declared that both were whipped until their backs were badly lacerated. The colored woman was first whipped. While the whipping was going on the white man attempted to get away, it was said, but was caught and whipped until he begged for mercy and promised to leave town. BLE PEOPLE'S PA ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, CAN'T OUST RACE FROM PULLMANS Paducah, Ky., Nov. 4.—A Pullman is not a railroad coach within the meaning of the Kentucky statutes, Judge William Reed held in the circuit court here in sustaining a demurrier to an indictment against the Pullman Palace Car Company, charged with violation of the Jim Crow law. The indictment was returned because several members of our Race have frequently been permitted to ride in Pullman coaches between Paducah and Louisville. As construed by Judge Reed, the separate coach act applies only to the regular coaches of a railroad train. Attorneys for the commonwealth will test the ruling and an appeal was granted. For many years white Southerners have attempted to humiliate women and men of the Race who sought comfortable traveling facilities. Many were insulted at railroad ticket windows in the attempt to purchase tickets. Complaints reached Pullman officials and the company was threatened with suits. Promises were given that at the first opportunity the Pullman Company would carry the case into court and establish the exact limitations of the separate coach law. Prominent attorneys here declare that the Kentucky statute is so slear on the separate coach law that the decision of Judge Reed will, without question, be sustained by the higher court. Kentuckians consider it a sweeping victory over the promoters of Jim Crowism in the State. It demonstrates, they contend, the willingness of the railroad companies to give first class service for first class rate, and on the other hand exposes the prejudice of the white public. Convicted N. A. A. C. P. Pickets Freed. New York Court of General Sessions Reverses Convictions of Protestors Against "Birth of Nation" Film. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today announced that the five pickets who were arrested and convicted for distributing circulators against the Ku Kux Klan in front of a theatre showing "the Birth of a Nation" film in New York on May 12, had been freed by Judge Alfred Talley in the Court of General Sessions. The five pickets were Katheryn Johnson, Helen Curtis, Laura Rollock, Edward Frasier and Llewellyn Rollock. The case is of wide significance, for Judge Talley, in his decision, affirms the right of citizens of New York to protest publicly by circular distribution against what they believe to be a movement, as in the case of the Ku Kux Klan, subversive of their rights as citizens. The ordinance under which the pickets had been arrested, said Judge Talley, was designed to prevent the streets being littered with commercial advertising matter. In speaking of the N. A. A. C. P. circular distributed by the pickets, Judge Talley said: "The circular which the defendants were distributing bare the announcement that it was published by the National Association for the Advance- ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION FALSE RUMORS EXPLODED Efforts to Hurt One of Nashville's Big Business Houses Fail. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 24. (Special.) False rumors and false reports with regard to one of the largest Negro Institutions in the United States have been circulated for the purpose of injuring said Institution. This was not detected until this week when a number of letters were sent here to Dr. R. H. Boyd, the secretary and founder of the National Baptist Publishing Board, owned and controlled by Negroes. One of the rumors set afloat was to the effect that the Plant had been closed and was not able to produce literature. Another rumor was that Dr. Boyd had become mentally deranged; and still another that the Plant had gone into liquidation. the Plant had gone into liquidation. Members of the Board were seen this weeek and they explained that all this had been circulated merely because of certain denominational differences. An investigation reveals the fact that the Plant, which is located here at the corner of Second Avenue and Locust Street, has done an increased business each year of its existence, and even the last report that was read before the National Baptist Convention at New Orleans, La., by Dr. Boyd himself, who spoke for one hour and a half before more than three thousand interested hearers, showed that an increase of more than ten thousand dollars in business with a circulation increase of over one hundred thousand in literature had been made for the year just closed. Dr. Boyd was given a big ovation. When he was seen this week about the false reports he declared that he had never attempted to run down false reports. "A lie travels faster than the truth." They say this is due to the fact that once the truth and the lie went swimming, the lie came out first and stole truth's clothes, and ever since that time the truth has gone around naked, so we call it "the naked truth." A lie is always dressed up and travels fast; truth is modest and never pushes itself on people. Dr. Boyd was feeling his bests, and declared that the National Baptist Publishing Board, the property of the Baptists of the United States, would continue to function, and that the Baptists were not going to be deceived over these rumors. ment of Colored People, and the defendants were acting as agents of that Association. The paper which they distributed was entitled, 'Stop the Ku Klux Propaganda in New York,' and was an appeal to the public not to encourage what, it was claimed, was an effort to glorify through the medium of a moving picture the activities of an organization which, it was asserted, had for its primary purpose the stirring up of prejudices and animosities against certain races and religions in this country. It would be a dangerous and un-American thing to sustain an interpretation of a city ordinance which would prohibit the free distribution by a body of citizens of a pamphlet setting forth their views against what they believed to be a movement subversive of their rights as citizens." The case in the Magistrate's Court was defended by Aiken A. Pope and neys of New York. Mr. Thomas has since been appointed Assistant U. S. Attorney. The appeal to the Court of General Sessions was taken up by Mr. Pope, whose brief in the case was a masterly effort. This victory is a victory for free speech. Courage Scorns Color Line Black Man Is Hero of Triple Collision Near Mouth of Clyde. Courage knows no creed nor color line. The hero's heart may beat under a skin white, black or yellow. Egbert E. Thompson is a black man. He was one of the millions, white and black, who offered their lives to their country. His talents happened to lie not in flashing adventures in the clouds with hand grenades and bayonets, but in playing jazz music. He went to France with the "Buffaloes," the black division, and helped make the music which sent men of his race rugstepping after the Germans. The war over, he came home and quit his hero's job. He went touring with the Southern Syncopated Orchestra. He was with the orchestra on board the Laid liner Rowan when it was sunk in the triple collision near the mouth of the Clyde, Scotland. The sinking ship dragged Thompson down, but he fought his way to the surface. His first thought was for others. He labored desperately dragging men, women and children to safety on a life raft. None struggling in the water drew the color line against being saved by a black man. It is pathetic that Thompson, having stepped across the color line in the emergency of danger, now must step back again when danger is past. Yet this will not deprive Thompson of distinction nor his race of inspiration.—Editorial, San Francisco Chronicle. Arkansas Sues Phillips County for Prisoners' "Board Bill" Arkansas Sues Phillips County for Prisoners' "Board Bill" The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public a quotation from the Arkansas Gazette of October 28, showing that differences have arisen between the State of Arkansas and Phillips County in that state over the expense of keeping in prison the colored farmers condemned to death in connection with the Arkansas riots of 1919. The colored men have been in prison for two years, from November, 1919, and the Arkansas Penitentiary Commission is expected to sue Phillips County for a "board Bill" of $2500, covering the period of 16 months in which twelve prisoners from Elaine were held in the penitentiary. "County Judge William Larkin, says the Arkansas Gazette, "of Phillips County, several weeks ago said that he did not intend authorizing payment of the board bill on the ground that the Negroes had been sent to the walls for execution and not safekeeping. At that time members of the board said that suit probably would be brought against the country." This action on the part of the state has been interpreted as an indication that the State of Arkansas is out confident that the Negroes who were sent to the penitentiary for execution will really be executed, now that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has fought their cases up to the Supreme Court of the United States. Bellevue to Have First Negro Interne in Maternity Ward Dr. Russell Nelson, a young Negro physician, will come to Bellevue Hospital, New York City, January 1st, as an interne in charge of the gynecological division, handling maternity cases, among others, without regard to the race or color of patients. There have been other Negro physicians at the hospital, but never, as far as is known, in the division Dr. Nelson will have charge of. Dr. Nelson was an interne at Bellevue for the six months prior to January 1st of this year, handling tubercular patients. Since leaving Bellevue he has been at the Sea View Hospital, Staten Island, N. Y., also working in the tuberculosis division. His application to be returned to Bellevue as an interne, specifying gynecology, was recently accepted by the hospital trustees. It is expected he will be at Bellevue for the next year or year and a half. Dr. George O'Hanlon, General Medical Superintendent of Bellevue and allied hospitals, described Dr. Nelson as "a competent, polite and efficient young doctor." Dr. Nelson is twenty-four. Concerning a report that some opposition had arisen against Dr. Nelson's coming to the gynecological division, Dr. O'Hanlon made clear that no petition had been signed or formal protest made. There had been critical talk, chiefly among a group of young white internes. "But," said Dr. O'Hanlon, "a member of the hospital staff went to these men and informed them in no uncertain words that Dr. Nelson would undoubtedly come to the hospital, and that internes who objected might get out."—New York Age. BOULDER, COLORADO, NEWS. Saturday the 5th of this month was a gala day for Boulder, as it was home coming day for the University.

Tentative plans for the construction of two great Colorado state highways were formed in a meeting of six civic clubs called by the Rotary club in the Denver Athletic club recently. The proposed roads would extend from Wyoming to New Mexico and from Utah to the eastern border of the state. An auto truck belonging to the Page Transfer Company was demolished when it was struck by a northbound Santa Fe passenger train at a crossing near Littleton. The driver of the truck, named Garrison, escaped injury by a miracle, and a pedigreed bull which was being moved in the truck also was unhurt. A lighted lantern taken into the garage of the Weldon school by Prof. John Grewell, the principal, caused an explosion that destroyed the $3,000 school truck, gutted the building, and burned part of Mrs. Grewell's household goods. The loss is estimated at $4,500, with $2,000 insurance on the truck and nothing on the building or goods.

Bryant Hooper, a rancher, attempted to crank a gasoline tractor while it was in gear on a ranch near Hooper recently. The tractor started forward, knocked Hooper down and one wheel passed over his body. He suffered severe lacerations but is recovering. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS The rapid development of agriculture in the non-irrigated districts of Colorado in the past dozen years is forcefully illustrated by the reports of the Census Bureau for 1909 and 1919 and by the reports of county assessors to the State Immigration Department for 1921, which show that acreage cultivated under irrigation in the state has increased only about 18 per cent since 1909, while acreage cultivated without irrigation has increased considerably more than 100 per cent. The census reports show that 62 per cent of all crops acreage harvested in Colorado in 1909 were irrigated, while in 1919 only 38 per cent of the acreage harvested was irrigated. The total acreage harvested in the state in 1919, according to the census report, was 5,052,955 acres, an increase of 93.3 per cent over the acreage harvested. The irrigated area harvested in 1919, according to the same census report, was 1,925,951 acres, an increase of but 18 per cent over the irrigated acreage harvested in 1909. Reports of county assessors to the Immigration Department show that close to 5,800,000 acres were devoted to crops, exclusive of orchards, in the state this year, of which approximately 70 per cent was non-irrigated. Figures are not yet available showing the acreage harvested in the state this year, though the acreage abandoned was light except in the northeast corner of the state, where drought caused heavy damage to non-irrigated crops. A two-year battle with beetles was ended with the return of W. D. Edmonston, government entomologist for Colorado, Nevada, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico, who has his headquarters in Colorado Springs. Edmonston has been waging a long fight with the beetles along the northern rim of the Grand Cañon. Approximately 3,000 trees were cut down. "It is difficult to combat the pests as the trees are not noticeably affected until a year after the damage is done." Edmonston said. "As many as 250 trees in a single group were destroyed by the insects." Thirty representatives of the Public Utilities Companies of Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, met in Denver and perfected an organization to be known as the Rocky Mountain committee on public utility information. The object of the committee is to work up and give out useful, instructive and interesting information on the operation, founding, history and news of general interest to the general public on public corporations of Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico. F. N. Sherfick, 64 years old, a farmer near Paonia, died from the effects of wounds received when he was gored by a bull in the corral back of his home. Sherfick's wife played a heroic part in the incident, beating off the enraged animal with a club in a vain effort to save her husband's life. The bull attacked Sherfick, according to his wife's story, when he went into the corral to do some work. He attempted to jump over the fence, but was knocked down. John Ramer, former secretary of state of Colorado, has received orders to report to Washington in preparation to take over the office of United States minister to Nicaragua. Mr. Ramer was appointed minister to Nicaragua Oct. 5 by President Harding. Ratification by the United States Senate followed, and Mr. Ramer received official notification, and a letter from Secretary of State Hughes requesting his presence in Washington. John Mitchell, assistant auditor of the Broadmoor hotel at Colorado Springs departed with his wife, police authorities were informed, under circumstances that have led to a request for his detention. The hotel management charges that $3,000 disappeared at the same time that Mitchell went away, part of it being the hotel pay roll for the week, and part of it money alleged to have been raised on forged checks. Aztec, New Mexico, has become an oil and gas center with very good prospects of a through railroad and agricultural development of the surrounding country undreamed of by the most optimistic resident. A group of Aztec men, believing it to be an oil region, formed a local company, financed it and brought in two drillers and sunk a well. At less than 1,000 feet the drill struck gas and is spouting more than forty feet, is wet, and experienced oil men assert that it is a sure indication of the presence of a new oil field. Fort Lyons Naval and Marine Hospital at Las Animas has been abandoned to the Veterans' Bureau by the United States naval hospital corps. Thirty officers and sixteen enlisted men of the navy and marine corps have been ordered to Denver and most of them have reported to the Fitzsimons General Hospital at Aurora for treatment. Colorado is one of the leading producing states in alfalfa meal, there being several large mills scattered in the agricultural districts of the state. Those familiar with this product declare that Colorado alfalfa makes the finest meal of any alfalfa grown in the country. The annual meeting of the State Farm Bureau will be held on the campus of the Agricultural College at Fort Collins, Dec. 9 and 10. Farm bureau delegates to the Farmers' Congress, which will assemble Dec. 6, will save thereby considerable railroad expense as well as other incidentals. Prof. W. L. Carlyle, for years connected with the State Agricultural College at Fort Collins, has been selected as manager of a large model stock farm and cattle ranch owned by the Prince of Wales, and located in Alberta, Canada.

There are many new ones this year made of corse canvas, or unbleached linen and trimmed with narrow satin ribbon and ribbon flowers. Baby ribbon may be drawn through the interstices of the canvas. Drawing threads out of either the canvas or linen makes it possible to weave wider ribbons over and under the remaining threads, in borders or ornaments. Flowers cut from cotton or linen, in various colors, are applied to the linen bags and buttonholed along their edges with cotton floss or yarn. A case for holding playing cards and a bag which may be put to various uses are shown above in gifts suited to either men or women. Sweets for Christmas T G A G P You cannot think of anyone who will not be delighted to receive a gift like that illustrated here. It is a half-dozen glasses filled with jelly, preserves and marmalade, very attractively arranged in a wicker basket. The tin covers of the glasses are lacquered with black lacquer and a white gummed letter is placed in the center of each one. A spray of fruit or blossoms painted on the lid with sealing wax, together with the letter, tells the kind of jelly or preserves the glass contains, as apple, with a spray of apple blossoms and the letter "A," or currant with a cluster of currants and foliage and the letter "C." Sealing wax in several colors simulates shirred ribbon on the center glass which contains marmalade. Christmas Candles Christmas Candles This year's candle shades made of gay silks or of crepe paper are shown in such variety that every one may be pleased. Sparkling silver tinsel strays over some of them, adding a holiday glitter to the pretty colors through which the light gleams. A shade decorated in this way is shown at the right of the two pictured. At the left a foundation of plain paper is covered with ruffles of crepe paper in two alternating colors, in this case white and green, and has daisies made of paper set about it. Oil Cloth Table Sets ```markdown ``` No housewife will fail to enjoy the new table sets of oilcloth with their cheerful borders of gay flowers and fruits. They are much handsomer than the stenciled pieces and many women use them for the dinner as well as the breakfast table. These sets consist of a centerpiece, plate dollies and smaller dolllies. The fruits and flowers in the set pictured are in their natural colors and the oilcloth in a deep cream color. ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION Fadeless Flowers Flowers made of petals cut from paper tape and coated with colored sealing wax, are among the novelties that add to the cheerfulness of home and Christmas this year. A cluster of them in several different colors, in a vase that is also coated with the wax, makes a very pleasing bouquet for the living room or dining table. The colored wax is a substitute for paint and a small alcohol flame becomes the brush for making the fadeless blossoms. Q For the writing desk or as a companion piece to the guest book, a pen with a feather quill for a handle makes a beautiful gift. Natural feathers are as marvelous and beautiful in their markings as flowers and those in neutral colors can be tinted if one wishes to brighten them. Many kinds of feathers, including those of the ostrich, are used for these decorative pens and they make a gift suited to every grown-up. Santa Remembers Baby ```markdown ``` Santa Claus never forgets the onies and each year presents their little belongings made in new and pretty ways. This year "nightingales" and bonnets seem even better than their predecessors. A set to match is shown above, made of fine flannel and trimmed with narrow satin ribbon gathered along one edge and feather-stitched down. A frill of narrow lace finishes the cap. For Little Garments BABY DOLL Hangers for wee garments make a lovely gift for young children, especially when they look like dolls. Here two are dressed up to represent a girl and a boy doll and a third is simply covered with ribbon and decorated with ribbon flowers. Little celluloid doll heads, wide and narrow sittin ribbon and wire hangers with a little ingentious sewing are all that is needed for the doll hangers. OVER 90,000 PASS UNKNOWN'S BIER SOLEMN CEREMONIAL IN MARCH LED BY GUARD OF HONOR TO AMPHITHEATER. NATION PAYS TRIBUTE OVERWHELMING HOSTS FOLLOW UNKNOWN SOLDIER TO LAST RESTING PLACE. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Washington.—It lacked just fifteen minutes of midnight when the last of the line which had been moving steadily past the catafalque of America's unknown soldier for almost sixteen hours had paid their silent respect to the dead and the doors were closed Capitol police estimated that from 90,000 to 96,000 people had filed through the rotunda. Washington.—The funeral, cortege which escorted America's unknown soldier to his tomb in Arlington cemetery left the capitol at 8:30 a. m. Preceded only by a guard of honor composed of a composite regiment of foot troops, a battalion of artillery and a squadron of cavalry, the caisson bearing the casket was followed by President Harding, Vice President Coolidge, Chief Justice Taft and the eight associate justices of the Supreme Court, members of the cabinet and Congress, the group of medal and honor men, and delegations from the American Legion and the G. A. R. Behind were other societies and groups. The route was up Pennsylvania avenue to the White House, where President Harding reviewed the parade, on Aqueduct bridge over the Potomac to the amphitheater. Ceremonies were under the supervision of Secretary Weeks. The religious program was conducted by Bishop C. H. Brent, former senior chaplain, A. E. F., who offered the opening invocation. The two-minute period of silent tribute—from 12 to 12:02 p. m—was followed by the singing of "America" by the assemblage. Then came the address of President Harding. Additional hymns, the placing of American and foreign decorations on the casket and reading of the Scriptures completed the program which preceded the placing of the body in the sarcophagus The remainder of the ceremonies included. Chaplain's service and prayer; salvos at burial; sounding of taps; firing of national salute of twenty-one guns. 13.920.692 Foreign Born in U. S. Washington. The total foreign born population of the United States Jan. 1, 1920, numbered 13,920,692, representing an increase of 404,306, or 3 per cent, since 1910, according to census bureau figures made public. Of the total 6,493,088 were naturalized, 1,223,400 had taken out their first papers, and 5,398,605 were allens. Status of the remaining 805,509 was not ascertained. The largest percentage naturalized in the total foreign born population of any state, 73.3, was shown for North Dakota, and the smaller, 14.8, for Arizona. The largest percentage of aliens, 78.7, was shown in Arizona, and the smallest, 11.6, in South Dakota. Converts Four in Jail Joplin, Mo.—The Rev. Marion Griffith, who completed a thirty-day jail sentence following his plan of guilty to a charge of operating a whisky still, thanked the chief of police for his arrest. "While I was in jail," he told the chief, "I converted four' of my fellow prisoners during my revival services there." Privates Accuse Officers. Washington.—Officers of the A. E. F. were accused of having "arrogated to themselves the prerogatives of an autocratic aristocracy" and of having "court-martialed 400,000 enlisted men, chiefly because of their failure to be dazzled by the glorious effulgence of a pair of shoulder straps and a Sam Browne belt," in a petition sent to the Senate by the national executive committee of the Private Soldiers and Sailors' Legion. The passage of the pending bill to retire former reserve officers, who incurred disability during the war, with three-fourths pay and the same privileges as regular officers, was opposed in the petition. Presbyterians Liquidate Debt. Atlantic City, N. J.—The Presbyterian church has liquidated its indebtedness to the Interchurch World movement, it was announced at a meeting of the executive commission of the Presbyterian church in the United States. One million dollars was the amount pledged. A subcommittee of the commission recently made final payment of $583,805. Harding Signs Road Bill. Washington.—The $75,000,000 appropriated under the new road act signed by President Harding represents the federal government's contribution to the work of building highways in the various states, and must be matched dollar for dollar by funds from the state treasuries, except in states including Colorado, where more than 5 per cent of the area is unappropriated public land. The bureau of roads announced that the Colorado allotments aggregated $1,341,175.69. Copyright, 1921, Western Newspaper Union.

With the venison season upon us, try the following with a venison steak: Chestnut Sauce.—Fry one-half an onion and six slices of carrot, cut in small pieces, in two tablespoonfuls of butter for five minutes. Add three tablespoonfuls of flour and stir until well browned; then add a Chestnut Sauce.—Fry one-half an onion and six slices of carrot, cut in small pieces, in two tablespoonfuls of butter for five minutes. Add three tablespoonfuls of flour and stir until well browned; then add a cupful and a half of soup stock, a sprig of parsley, a bit of bay leaf, eight pepper corns and a teaspoonful of salt. Let simmer 20 minutes, strain, add a cup of boiled chestnuts, a tablespoonful of butter and two tablespoonfuls of orange juice. Squirrel Pie.—Clean the squirrels, separate into pieces at the joints, nine in all. Season with salt and pepper and add a pint of well seasoned chicken stock, or boiling water will do. Cook closely covered for two hours in a moderate oven. Add two tablespoonfuls of flour, salt and pepper and a little cold water mixed to a paste, to the gravy in the dish. Cover with a rich crust and bake about twenty minutes. Leave a vent in the crust to allow the steam to escape. Baked Chicken in Milk.—Take a fat old fowl, cut it up as for frying; roll each piece in seasoned flour and place in a deep baking dish; cover with rich, sweet milk and bake four or five hours in a fireless cooker. Remove the cover and brown in a hot oven before serving. Quince Honey.—Wash and grate the quince, peeling and all, and cook with equal parts of sugar until thick. This is a delicious concoction which may be used in numberless ways. As a garnish for ice cream it is especially good, or a spoonful placed over a dish of apple sauce makes that a dish out of the ordinary. Pears are most delicious canned in the following way: Pare and quarter them, then cut in eighths and put them, with half their weight in sugar, into a stone crock and let stand over night. In the morning cook in the crock until they are transparent or perfectly done. Lemon may be added, or ginger root, to vary the flavor, if desired. By degrees, by thinking light, Thinking glad and sweetly, You'll escape the stress of night, Worry gone completely.

So much is said in regard to the care of food for invalids that it would seem that in this enlightened day everybody would know what to do for a simple well cooked and appropriate meal for an invalid; however, the re- that in this enlightened day everybody would know what to do for a simple well cooked and appropriate meal for an invalid; however, the results show that there is still much to learn in serving an invalid's meal. A normal person in health will be able to overlook many eccentricities of food, but the person who is ill must be fed the kind of food to give strength and not overtax the digestive organs. To make food tempting enough to be eaten when it is not desired takes not only skill in dalinity preparation but finesse in handling the patient. The well-trained nurse has had in her training the proper preparation and serving of food, but often the overworked mother finds it necessary to be both nurse, housekeeper and cook, so it is invaluable for her to know how. The daintiness of the tray and its pretty china as well as the food served upon it is of first importance. Spotless linen or pretty paper dolls in case of contagious diseases, should always be used; the small sets made on purpose for a tray with pretty china, arranged for the convenience of the patient, with a flower or two or a piece of bright fruit with its foliage will make the meal a source of pleasure. The psychology of appealing to the sense of beauty in the tray fittings is not one that we should slight. Even paper dishes of all kinds may be used in contagious diseases, thus eliminating the risk as well as the work of caring for and sterilizing them. After the invalid has passed the liquid food stage there is more opportunity for one to express taste in arranging the tray. The semi-solid foods are custards, jellies, cereals and such foods. Cereals should be subjected to long, slow cooking and in many cases it is better to strain them. Perishable foods should never be bought in large quantities beyond the needs of the family. A little grated cheese added to the milk toast to give the grownups makes a most tasty dish. Nessie Maxwell SOMETHING NEW NIGHT A TAXI C Pre-war prices; $2.50 feurs.

Miss believe that in time her book o UXDER the above caption Miss Mary White Ovington, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, sends out a most interesting circular letter respecting books that should find their way into the library of Negro homes. She deplores the fact that the Negro does not fill his brain and stock his library with works of merit founded upon the great problems of race such as "The Children of the Mist," by George Madden Martin, or "The Voice of the Negro," by Robert Kerlin, or "The Shadow," by Mary White Ovington, or "Dark Water," by Du Bois. She further finds upon investigation that publishers do not enthuse over the prospect of turning works touching upon the Negro. Miss Ovington conjectures, and we believe truly, that much of this is caused by a lack of general information among members of the race as to what books are in reality meritorious. Hence her book chat letters. There can be no question but that the Negro is thinking intensely of himself these days and is even ready to read something about himself. Miss Ovington's program is a good one, and we believe that in time her book chat will find way into many Negro hearts. ARMISTICE DAY. live is grandeur in retrospection, memory in some instances no longer the Armistice Day ceremony. It is impossible to forget how much time in anxious expectancy the bomb would announce to a warrior and when the word did come, with our enthusiasm knew no boundless least, we lost sight of our son sleep on European battlefields and arch enemy had fallen. In the final, and could only give thought to Germany. But later we have seen that nor reprisals will bring about essential to a Christ-like comprehension. Jason Armistice Day this year is not rather a day of prayerful obeying a way out of the horrors attached to the Harding disarmament than one is inclined to the COLORADO STATESMAN to give some thought to the day that civilization in the finer soil, long, destructive war, and the movements, has gained practically an approach Armistice Day this year. OFTENTIMES there is grandeur in retrospection. Distance lends enchantment to the memory in some instances no less alluring than to the view. We approach the Armistice Day ceremonies this year with becoming calm, and yet it is impossible to forget how millions lay sleepless three years ago at this time in anxious expectancy that some shrill sounding siren or loud crashing bomb would announce to a war-weary world that hostilities had ceased. And when the word did come, we were gladdened and intoxicated with joy; our enthusiasm knew no bounds. For the one day of November 11, 1918, at least, we lost sight of our sorrows over the millions sleeping their last sleep on European battlefields and rejoiced exceedingly glad that civilization's arch enemy had fallen. In that hour, also resentful, if not really revengeful, and could only give thought to the punishment that should be meted out to Germany. But later we have come to the realization that neither punishment nor reprisals will bring about that improved standard of citizenship so essential to a Christ-like comprehension of the rights of peoples and nations. And so for this reason Armistice Day this year is not likely to be a revel or carnival of fun, but rather a day of prayerful consideration and deep humanity. We are seeking a way out of the horrors of war. Perhaps there is greater significance attached to the Harding disarmament conference now in progress in Washington than one is inclined to think at first glance. It is not possible for THE COLORADO STATESMAN to view an event of such great magnitude without giving some thought to the question of color. It is admitted most generally that civilization in the finer sense is but little better off as a result of the long, destructive war, and the Negro, notwithstanding his heroism and achievements, has gained practically nothing. It is all the more reason why we approach Armistice Day this year with PRAYER and GREAT HUMILITY. THE REASON FOR IT. growth of the Denver Colored C STATESMIAN to meet the quaid in public places, "What is the purpose to do for the Negro?" P that the main reason for the exSOCIATION is the COMMUNITED means CO-OPERATION. T then, when every Negro was pullsiveness. Leaderships were a and business endeavor frowned THE enthusiastic growth of the Denver Colored Civic Association impels THE COLORADO STATESMAN to meet the questions so often heard upon the streets and in public places, "What is the object of the association, or what does it purpose to do for the Negro?" Perhaps if brevity would suffice we would say that the main reason for the existence of the DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION is the COMMUNITY OF INTERESTS, which rightly interpreted means CO-OPERATION. There was a time, and not very far away, either, when every Negro was pulling for himself. There was absolutely no cohesiveness. Leaderships were assailed and distrusted, ambitions destroyed and business endeavor frowned upon and discouraged. In other words, we constantly fought among ourselves. This same condition prevailed largely among the white race at one time, but the growth of Big Business brought about the need of co-operation. Hence the CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE, CIVIC AND COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATIONS, etc. We have slowly but effectually learned the lesson that a civic organization, no matter how small, promotes mass thinking on any subject of importance to its community; it encourages and helps to build that spirit of communal brotherhood, co-operation and team work so essential to final success. Heaven knows that Denver Negroes have long needed the constructive, beneficial activity that is now being demonstrated by the Denver Colored Civic Association. No man of any race can successfully rise to worthy heights unless his particular race arises also. Certainly no business can grow to comprehensive dimensions unless the community wherein it abides grows also. These are concomitant facts that cannot be refuted. There must be a definite, concrete motive power for all progress, and without such motive power all efforts are puerile, powerless and destructive of initiative. As stated on another occasion, the Denver Colored Civic Association is yet in its infancy, but it has proven in its brief existence that powerful agencies for good lie within its possibilities. It is conservative yet practical, forceful and yet clings with becoming tenacity to the guide posts of sanity. Business men of the race from all avenues of life can be found within its assembly room, and they come not with distrust but a growing and ever-abiding faith in the integrity of the fellow-man. It seeks to make the city of Denver what God ordained that all cities should be—a fit place within which to live—clean, healthful, moral and progressive. We cannot, in justice to ourselves, stand in a given place and complacently watch the mounting progress of other races. Disintegration and inevitable decay would be our portion in such an attitude. Invest a dollar in the Denver Colored Civic Association NOW and you will find in after years it will return as "bread cast upon the waters." Shall Any One Class Claim Copyright on 100 Per Cent Americanism? Shall Any One Class Claim Copyright on 100 Per Cent Americanism? By J. V. CLINNIN, Ass't U. S. Dist. Attorney, Chicago ican flag was carried into Germany * * * Organizations which have for their object the usurping of powers of government, either executive, legislative or judicial, are against public policy. Class prejudice, hatred, persecution, discrimination, whether against color or creed, by corporate bodies or individuals, can bring but one result—riot, disorder, anarchy. The courts are our tribunals. Whoever resists the decision of these tribunals or seeks to self-administer the law strikes a blow at all of our liberties and places us at the mercy of passion and violence. It is to be hoped that the better judgment of the American people will discourage the organization of fraternal bodies among any class of our citizens which have in effect the object of stirring class hatred, sectionalism, or intolerance. The use of mysticism, hidden identity and massed power has always led to overt acts of violence against individuals or property in direct opposition to the law of the land and contrary to the best interests of a free people. Boys of the Cities Must Be Carried Through Their Predatory Stage Boys of the Cities Must Be Carried Through Their Predatory Stage The child is father of the man, yes; but there are considerable differences between parent and offspring. Every normal boy goes through a predatory stage, a period when he idolizes Robin Hood and Roderick Dhu, thinks property rights an imbecile convention of grown-ups, and longs, in varying degree, to prove his worth by reaving and harrying. One doesn't need to be a psychologist to understand this; he needs nothing but a good memory. I have known boys to walk miles to steal apples not so good as those to be had for picking up in their own orchards. As to how I know, I must decline to be interviewed; but the information is accurate. Now, in the country, the boy gets this out of his system without doing much damage; and when he has left the slack of his pants in the grip of some neighbor's dog and swallowed a large dose of castor oil as a remedy for the pains caused by picking unripe fruit, he begins to see that there may be something in these grown-up ideas, after all. But in the city, the boy's plundering hurts, and hurts folks who can not stand it, not to mention the enormous amount of portable wealth open to seizure on every hand. The city boy must be carried through his predatory stage by giving him something else to do. It is a question, partly of money, more of men, but, most of all, of public interest. When people realize what can be done to keep boys from starting out on the penitentiary' road, they will supply the necessary money and find, educate or somehow call into being the needed workers. For Some Time to Come Russia Will Be the "Sick Lady of the World" By CHARLES R. CRANE, Former U. S. Minister to China Five years ago Russia had the "fever." When the crisis came, friendly physicians were called in and, if the patient did not make much progress toward recovery, he was at least in sympathetic hands, with neighbors and friends all anxious to promote his recovery. Unfortunately a brutal and unsympathetic neighbor insisted on taking charge of the case—forced out the attending physicians and put in charge some doctors whose only experience had been gained by selling patent medicines on the street corner. They drove out all of the friends and chased away all of the neighbors and started to perform a major operation without any particular diagnosis, and certainly without any anesthetics. The patient has gone through great suffering and agony, but just how much none of his friends or neighbors have been allowed to know. Possibly he will recover some time, but it will only be after a long period of convalescence. But some skill will be required, and a great deal of sympathetic nursing. For many years we have talked of "the sick man of Europe." For some time to come Russia will be "the sick lady of the world." United States on the Way to Become a Nation of Mollycoddles. By A. E. ADAMS, American Bankers' Association The proposed extension of the federal government's postal savings bank system, as announced by Postmaster General Hays, is unwise. Any such extension will only increase government expenses, without giving the public anything of value. The main objections to the system are these: The government cannot run any kind of business either efficiently or economically. The postal banks divert credits from their natural channels. There is no better reason for government intrusion into the banking business than for governmental intrusion into the steel business, the cotton business or any other type. The greatest difficulty with us in the United States is that we are not self-reliant. We run to the government for everything. We are on the way to become a nation of mollycoddles and the easy prey to demagogue and fanatics. Duncan, Baltimore, Maryland The discovery of America by Christopher Columbus opened the way for a country and a people who, with foresight beyond human conception, were the first to create a nation beneath a flag of freedom, which had for its basic rule the Declaration of Independence. Whoever interferes with these happy dispositions is an enemy to society. Shall any one class or line of descent be accorded the right to copyright a title of 100 per cent Americanism?

A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou—under the bough, meaning food and drink and shelter and congenial companionship. Another poet expressed the same belief in slightly different language: "Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me."—Exchange. Save the Carpet. If you do not wish your stair carpet to wear unevenly, put padding underneath it. There are pads prepared expressly for this use, but wanting these or anything of sufficient body to protect it, use newspapers, on the stair and folded so that they will project three or four inches beyond the stair. If thick enough they will save a great deal of wear and tear of the carpet, also deaden the sound of footsteps. American Women As Hostesses. It has often been said that American women make the most delightful and successful hostesses in the world. Perhaps this is because the men of our land, so deeply absorbed, as they usually are, in business or profession, nowadays generally leave the duties and pleasures of hospitality to their wives, daughters, mothers and sisters. Many a man is like a guest in his house at a dinner or house party and leaves entirely to his wife to see that the guests are introduced and that they are made to feel at ease. Where the "Little Women" Played. What American girl or woman has not laughed or wept with the Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy of Louisa Alcott's delightful story? In the home of the authoress at Concord, Mass., the attic in particular recalls the jolly good times of the "Little Women." As we mount the stairs, we can hear in imagination the sound of laughter as the four girls discussed plans or plays, for this was their favorite gathering place, and it recalls many a delightful incident in their lives. Weather Affected by Sun Spots. A Dutch meteorologist has studied the winter temperatures in western Europe from 760 to 1916 A. D. He has found that greater activity of sun spots is accompanied by winter setting in harder and earlier than usual, while less activity of the spots corresponds to late, mild winters. A. E. HARVEY G.

Skillern, M.D., of Boise, Idaho, a very prominent and influential citizen in that part of the country, stopped over in Denver a few hours last week on his way south to visit his nephew, Nathan J. Skillern, our well-known townsman. Dr. Skillern was much impressed with Denver, and plans on quite an extended visit here on his return from the southland. THE HARDING-TRUSTY DANCING PARTY. The goddess of social splendours in gala attire reigned supreme at Fern Hall Tuesday night when Mrs. Josephine Harding and her brother, John Trusty, gave a most delightful dancing party. Nearly all of the bright, scintillating stars in the firmament of our gay smart set were out and shone with an effulgence rarely seen even in Denver, a city known far and near for the exceptional brilliancy of its social functions. The decorations of royal purple and gold were artistically applied, which, with a massive centerpiece of autumn leaves, formed a canopy that permitted the various light globes of green and aber to send out a light of softest glow. It was truly a most entrancing scene. The many smart gowns that appeared gave variety and richness to the occasion that reflected creditably the unusual taste of Denver society. BON VIVIANTS HAVE GREAT MEETING. The Bon Viviants, Denver's oldest and most exclusive social club, met at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. T. Roy, 3032 Columbine street, Tuesday night. It was the occasion for the annual election and proved to be one of the greatest meetings in the history of the club. The old-time jillity was there and the old-time songs were sung with all the pep and vim of yester-year. Being a full dress affair, the Roy dining room presented a most beautiful spectacle when the twenty-one "jolly good fellows" present were seated. The club continues to show rapid growth, five new members being taken in Tuesday night. It is a custom of twenty years' standing to serve a lavish turkey dinner at the time of the election of officers, but this year it was a banquet of rich and elegant ap- pointments. The menu consisted of: Bouillion, turkey, oyster dressing, creamed potatoes, French peas, jellied cranberries, Spanish pickles, celery, hot rolls, mince meat pie, lemon-phizz, mints, demi-tasse. The election of officers was as follows: Robt. T. Roy, president; Samuel Harrington, vice-president; Dr. E. T. McClain, treasurer; C. N. Pitt, secretary; Leonard Todd, chairman entertainment committee. The retiring president, Geo. W. Gross, introduced the newly elected president, Mr. Roy, who in some well-chosen remarks outlined his policy for the next year. NOVEMBER 13-25. Great Mass Meetings at the People's Tabernacle beginning Sunday, Nov. 13, under the auspices of the U. N. I. A., with the renowned orator, Hon. J. W. H. Eason of New York, American Leader of the Association. Big Musical Program. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. A great deal of pleasure and enjoyment was experienced by those visiting the "Y" rooms-last week. Saturday evening witnessed the opening of the business men's lecture course by Mr. Ralph B. Mayo, public accountant at the Foster Building, whose subject was "Entering Upon a Business Career." In the course of his remarks Mr. Mayo expressed surprise and pleasure to learn that the colored people of Denver were embarking upon business lines to the extent to which they have. We were embarrassed, however, when he asked why it was that a colored man going into business could not count upon the solid support of the colored people, and asked if a colored person would not rather buy a house from a colored real estate dealer, or get his groceries from a colored grocer, than from a white. The subject this (Saturday) evening will be, "How to Build up a Business," and will be given by Mr. Carl Arbentz, of the Arbentz and Parker Realty Company. The lecture will begin at 7:30 o'clock. All business men and women, and those thinking of taking up business, should attend these lectures. The program last Sunday afternoon was a splendid affair, and was under the auspices of the Mount Pleasant and Scott churches, the talent from Campbell Church failing to appear. The talent from Mount Pleasant was in charge of Mrs. Mabel Z. De Frantz, while the Scott choir was in charge of their chorister, Mr. Brown, of the American Woodmen. The program was splendidly rendered. In the absence of Secretary Bell, who was filling a speaking engagement in Colorado Springs, and also of Secretary Townsend; Counsellor E. P. Blakemore had charge of the program. The reception to the postoffice employés had to be postponed again last Tuesday evening owing to the inclement weather. It will be held Tuesday evening the 22nd. The program tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon will be mighty interesting, and will be under the auspices of the lawyers and pharmacists, and will be in charge of Lieut. Earl Mann. A corking program has been arranged. Another important feature of the program will be appearance and speaking of Mr. Franklin O. Nichols, of the American Hygiene Association, of Washington, D. C. Mr. Nichols will tell in a graphic manner some of the evils and dangers by which the race is threatened, and how they may be averted. The meeting will be held at the "Y" building, and will begin promptly at four o'clock. Everybody will be welcome. ..November 13-25 hear the Hon. J. W. H.

"A woman can throw out with a teaspoon what a man brings in with a shovel." Food that spoils after it is brought into the home kitchen usually is a needless waste.

Chilled left overs should be used as soon as possible. Left over of meat pie, dishes made with creme sauce, soft custard, boiled dressing and dressing made with cream must carefully kept and handled Wrap in Fresh Paper. When meat and poultry are brought in the house, exchange the wrapping paper for clean parchment, and place on a clean plate in the refrigerator or cold storeroom. Fish should not be stored in the icebox, as it imparts its flavor to other foods, particularly to milk and butter. It is better to buy just enough fish for a meal and have no leftovers to dispose of. Pitchers and bottles for milk should be scalded before the milk is put in. Milk should always be covered and kept in the coolest part of the refrigerator, at a temperature of 50 degrees F or lower, if possible. Soiled eggs spoil quickly. Insist on getting clean eggs, and keep them cool. Do not wash an egg until just before using; water removes a coating on the shell which hinders microorganisms from getting into the contents. Fats and oils are best stored in the dark. Butter absorbs flavors and should be well covered. A stone crock with a lid serves well. Fresh vegetables and fruits should be kept clean, well ventilated, and, if possible, at a temperature between 60 degrees and 40 degrees F. Decayed ones should be frequently sorted out. Very often the decayed portion may be cut away and the rest of the fruit or vegetable used at once. Wilted leaf vegetables sometimes may be freshened by soaking in water just before using. All vegetables and fruits, especially those to be eaten raw, should be thoroughly washed in running water before they are used. The loss of flavor and texture is very slight and GOOD BEDDING WILL BE AID TO HEALTH Mattress and Springs Should Be Carefully Selected. Home-made Sheets and Pillow Cases Have Advantage of Being Fitted to Particular Bed—Wear (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The bed is the most important piece of furniture in a bedroom. Home economics of the United States Department of Agriculture recommends that if only a limited amount may be spent in furnishings, it is wise to economize elsewhere, so that a good mattress and springs may be purchased. The mattress should first be protected by an unbleached muslin slip which can be washed occasionally. Next comes a light-weight quilted pad, also washable, for further protection and smoothness. This can be bought ready-made or made of muslin and cotton batting, or an old light-colored quilt or cotton blanket may be used. The quality of the sheets and pillow cases depends on how much one has to invest. Homemade sheets and pillow cases have the advantage of being fitted to a particular bed, and often the materials wear better, but ready-made ones of good quality are sometimes more economical to buy. Sheets should be from 24 to 38 inches wider and longer than the mattress, so that the ends and sides can be generously tucked in, and the top of the upper one turned down to keep the blankets clean. The hem at the top of a sheet should be at least 2½ inches, and at the bottom from ¾ to 1 inch. Machine hemstitching makes a pretty finish for pillowcases and the wider hem of a sheet. Seamless tubing can be bought for pillowcases. Soft, fluffy blankets, containing a large proportion of good quality wool, are generally considered more comfortable and also most durable if given proper care. Many reliable manufacturers state the percentage of wool on a card attached to the blanket. Cotton blankets, when new, are in many cases as warm as wool, but they tend to become matted with wear and washing and consequently less warm. If a blanket is chosen with a colored ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION is made up for by the removal of bacteria and possible spray residue. Decaying fruits and vegetables always attract files. Moist cooked foods made with milk, eggs, meats, or fish, are excellent breeding places for harmful microorganisms, including many which cause poisoning. Chilled left overs should be used as soon as possible. Left overs of meat pie, dishes made with cream sauce, soft custard, boiled dressing, and dressing made with cream must be carefully kept and handled and promptly used. They often cause serious poisoning before they taste or smell spoiled. Boiled rice, hominy, and other cereals also spoil quickly. Scald Bread Box Weekly. Bread and cake should be kept in a ventilated box. Hot bread should not be wrapped immediately. The moisture of fresh bread causes molds to form. The bread box should be scalded once a week; wiped dry, and sunned. Crackers and cookies lose their crispness by absorbing moisture from the air. They should be kept in air-tight boxes, wrapped in parchment or paraffin paper, if possible. All dry groceries must be kept dry and clean and in insect-proof containers. Cereals and flavors should be bought in small quantities in the summer, as they tend to develop weevils even when well cared for. Corn meal from which the "germ" has not been removed turns rancid with keeping. Air tight containers are necessary for tea, coffee, spices, and baking powder. Ground roasted coffee loses flavor rapidly. Do not lay in a large stock of coffee unless it can be roasted and ground at home. The fat in chocolate may turn rancid, so keep it cool and dark. Canned goods should be stored in a dark, cool place to prevent fading. Examine vegetables within a fortnight after canning to detect spoilage. A little mold on the top of jelly or rich preserves is not dangerous, but canned vegetables which look, smell, or taste at all spoiled should never be eaten. border, the border should be of the same quality wool as the rest of the blanket. Comfortables of wool or cotton batting covered first with cheesecloth and then with an outer covering of pretty light-weight material are generally needed in the severe weather. Old-fashioned pieced quilts are often interesting, but not very warm, considering their weight. Striped dimity bedspreads with pillow shams to match are deservedly popular because they are dainty, easy to launder, durable, and inexpensive. Having two spreads permits a bed to be kept always fresh. TO STOP RUG FROM CURLING Resizing Will Make Floor Covering Look Much Better and Add to Its Durability. After cleaning, a machine-made pile rug sometimes loses its shape or wrinkles and curls up because the sizing on the back has worn off. Resizing will pay for itself by adding to the durability of the rug as well as by making it look much better, and can be done at home or by a carpet dealer. Directions for resizing are given in Farmers' Bulletin 1219, Floors and Floor Coverings, a new publication of the United States Department of Agriculture. The rug should be stretched tight and true and tacked at frequent intervals, face down, on a floor or some other flat surface where it can remain undisturbed. It should then be sprinkled generously with a solution made by soaking and dissolving one-fourth pound of flake glue in one-half gallon of water in a double boiler or a container surrounded by hot water. The rug should be allowed to dry for at least 24 hours. If it is light weight, care should be taken not to put on so much glue that it penetrates to the right side. All Around the House Milk will stay sweet longer if kept in a shallow pan than if put in a deep pail or jug. Never put away pots and pans with their lids on, or they will retain the odor of the food last cooked in them. Copyright. 1921, Western Newspaper Union. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterward carefully avoid. SEASONABLE FOODS. The Chinese cabbage or celery cabbage is a tender white vegetable which lends itself nicely to salad combinations. Luncheon Salad.

Mix lightly with mayonnaise dressing and serve with cheese sandwiches. Custard Nut Pie.—Prepare a custard pie as usual, using a pint of milk with three eggs, sugar and salt to taste, with nutmeg to season, then add just over the top as it goes into the oven a cupful of black walnut meats cut in coarse bits. The meats will brown and make a delicious crust over the top. Neapolitan Macaroni.—Mix two cupfuls of cooked macaroni or spaghetti with one cupful of medium thick white sauce in which one-half cupful of grated cheese has been melted. Spread this in the bottom of a deep, glass pie plate well buttered. Lay over the top uniform-sized, ripe tomatoes cut in halves, pressing them slightly into the macaroni. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, dried buttered crumbs and cheese. Bake in a hot oven until the tomatoes are soft but not broken and the top a rich golden brown. Vegetarian Mince Meat—Take eight medium-sized apples, one-half cupful each of almonds and walnut meats, one-fourth cupful of fried figs, one-eighth cupful of citron, one-half cupful of currants, one teaspoonful of salt, two cupfuls of brown sugar, the juice of two lemons, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, one-fourth teaspoonful each of mace and cloves and one cupful of sweet elder or fruit juice. Chop the apples and nuts, put the dried fruit through the meat grinder, mix all the ingredients and cook one hour or until the apples are soft. This recipe makes enough for three ples. Seal and keep for some time in glass jars Not to the swift the race; not to the strong the fight; Not to the righteous perfect grace; not to the wise the light; But often faltering feet come surest to the goal; And they who walk in darkness meet the sunrise of the soul. A thousand times by night the Syrian hosts have died; A thousand times the vanquished right hath risen glorified. —Henry Van Dyke. A WORD TO THE COOK. There is vastly more responsibility resting upon the person who is wife, mother and cook, than the salaried cook however well equipped and efficient she may be and able to shoulder responsibility. READING we are told by those who study household efficiency that we should have a well-defined plan for the meals of the day, for a week ahead, if possible. But we have all had many experiences where well-laid plans "gang aft aglee," so it is well with good plans to be able to stretch them to meet any emergency. It is important that the family be fed on well-balanced meals; this may not be done at every meal but if the day's meals balance the results are as good. The food should be so provided that there is never an over abundance of any one food principle, like starchy foods, meats or sweets. Meals should be prepared in regard to the people served. Children and old people need easily digested food, often served more frequently than to those in the prime of life. An office worker cannot digest food that is needed, relished and well digested by a man working in the open. An invalid needs food of especial preparation and attractiveness. Do you strive to save your strength as well as time and material in the preparation of food? For example, if making a white sauce for cream toast, save out a cupful or make a little extrn for the next day's dish of macaroni or escalloped potatoes. Prepare enough pastry for three pies and put the mixture in the ice chest. It is better if well chilled. In many homes the bread is mixed at night when a strong arm of son or husband may do the hard mixing, and in the morning it takes but a few moments to make it into loaves and set to rise. Some cooks who are clever at saving time have the salt and pepper mixed in a shaker and one turn of the wrist does the seasoning. This same method may be used with sugar and cinnamon when one uses it often for coffee cakes and cinnamon rolls. Put the mixture into a small flour sifter for convenience in using.
