LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY HARVARD UNIVERSITY PAYS HONOR TO MARSHAL FOCH Degree of Doctor of Laws Conferred—Allied Commander Praises Work of Colored Soldiers. VOL. XXVIII. W WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 16. The Howard University held ceremonies attendant upon the conferring of the degree of Doctor of Laws on M. Ferdinand Foch, marshal of France, commander-in-chief of the allied armies, on the university campus, Wednesday afternoon at five o'clock, November 16, 1921. Marshal Foch made the visit to the Howard University to be entertained as its guest upon the special request of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, the secretary-treasurer of the university, with the approval of President J. Stanley Durkee, through Colonel James A. Drain, a member of the entertainment committee of the American Legion, which had charge of arrangements in connection with Marshal Foch's visit to the United States, and also through M. Jules Jusserand, the French ambassador. The program in connection with Marshal Foch's visit to Howard University included the Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah by the university vested choir; a prayer by Rev. Francis J. Grimke; the greeting to the marshal by President J. Stanley Durkee; a response by Marshal Foch; the tribute from the colored soldiers of the world war by Claude W. Blackmon, sergeant major of the 368th Infantry, a member of the class of 1923 of the university; the conferring of the degree of Doctor of Laws on Marshal Foch by President Durkee, upon his being presented by Justice Stanton J. Peelde, the president of the board of trustees of the Howard University, and the singing of the Alma Mater and the Marseillaise by the student body. In conferring the degree on Marshal Foch, after his presentation by Justice Stanton J. Peelde, President Durkee said: "Ferdinand Foch, student, teacher, author, patriot, lover of law and justice, with supreme faith in God and in the right, savior of civilization, honored and loved by mankind, generalissimo of the allied armies, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the board of trustees of the Howard University, I confer upon you the degree of Doctor of Laws, together with all the rights and privileges pertaining thereto." Marshal Foch, in Response From Howard, Praises the University and the Work of the American Colored Soldier. Marshal Foch, in responding to the greeting of Howard University, said: "I find it very easy to express my sentiments of gratitude for the cordial reception accorded me, when I recollect the commendable and indispensable service rendered by the colored troops upon the soil of France. I knew well that Howard University contributed largely in the war. I knew also that through the love and energy of this great institution of learning, as manifested for France, that the soldiers actuated by these impulses, gloriously fought in France. Although our green sod now covers the bones of many of your beloved comrades, France shall not forget the magnificent efforts of Howard University, and the costly sacrifices made by the colored soldiers, the shedding of their blood upon the altar of free- dom shall mark an important epoch in the history of human action. I can assure you that the French people are lavishing both love and care upon the tombs of the American soldiers whose bodies are now in France." In the requests which were made by Dr. Emmett J. Smott, who served during the world war as special assistant to the secretary of war, in the effort to have Marshal Foch visit the Howard University, attention was called to the important part which the 400,000 colored soldiers, who were called to the colors, played not only in camp and cantonment, but overseas as well, and also to the glowing tributes paid the colored soldiers from America by French commanders. Mention was also made of the fact that Howard University had more graduates and students to receive commissions and serve as officers with colored military units than any other institution in America for the training of Negro youth, and that on the grounds of the university 1,786 colored men were trained for army service. Grounds Decorated for Occasion. The grounds of the university were decorated with the tri-colors of France and the Stars and Stripes for the occasion. The exercises were held on the steps leading to the entrance to Carnegie library, where a special platform was erected facing the college ellipse, which was crowded with spectators who came to witness the ceremonies. Marshal Foch and his military aides were met at the entrance to the university grounds by the Howard R. O. T. C. Unit, headed by the R. O. T. C. band, which began to play as the marshal appeared. The colored world war veterans of the District of Columbia and the students of the university, who were in the military service during the war, appeared in full uniform in honor of Marshal Foch's visit. A large floral offering was presented the marshal by the members of the Société Francais of the university. As the marshal and his staff left the university grounds, the students gave the college cheers, while the R. O. T. C. band played the Marseillaise. M. Metz T. P. Lochard, professor of French at the university, served as interpreter of the addresses made by the various speakers. Major Milton T. Dean, head of the department of physical education, had charge of the arrangements in connection with the ceremonies. NO APPEAL TAKEN IN LYNCH VERICT. Laurens, S.

Marcus Garvey Appeals to Pope Benedict in Behalf of Race. His Holiness Pope Benedict XV., The Vatican, Rome. Most Holy Father: On behalf of the scattered and most abused children of Africa numbering four hundred million, I send you Greeting. Just at this time when the powerful nations of the world, through their statesmen, are assembled at Washington, through the good services for humanity, of America's most Democratic and Liberal-minded President, the Negroes of the world desire to draw to your attention the many injustices practiced against them. Four hundred millions of us are being continuously outraged in the lands of our domicile; and in Africa, our Motherland, we are being exploited and robbed of our country. As human beings, we cry universally to Heaven for help and protection. Being men, we ourselves feel that what others have done to win liberty we may also do; but the Negro does not believe in bloodshed, hence, we look upon the disarmament conference now assembled in the United States of Ameirca with great hope; nevertheless we realize that there is an absence among a large number of the human race of that larger humanity which should be the guiding principle of nations and races and which will prevent the stronger groups in the great human family granting to the weaker ones their rights. We believe that the time has come for a true settlement of our human problems; that the white, yellow and black races of the world should get together and adjust their racial differences. No one race should transgress the bounds of the other. The principle of Asia for the Asiatics, Europe for the Europeans, Africa for the Africans should be respected and practised by all races and nations. For the bringing together therefore of the righteous who believe in the eternal principle of justice to all mankind, we ask that as an assistance to the effort now being made at Washington by the nations, that your Holiness in conjunction with all the religious and racial leaders of the world, call a conference of the "Bigger Brotherhood of Humanity," to include all races, creeds and religions, and there and then lay out a program by which we shall have a lasting peace. This appeal is made to your Holiness as the greatest religious leader of our time, and as Vicar of Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, on earth. We feel that your Holiness shall consider all humanity, Christian, Moslem Buddhist, Brahman and Pagan. Feeling sure that your Holiness will act immediately for the salvation of the World and Humanity, I have the honor to be, your Holiness' obedient servant, MARCUS GARVEY, President General Universal Negro Improvement Association, and First Provisional President of Africa. Colored Women Most Beautiful Says Professor Fredrick Starr of Chicago University, Eminent Authority on Anthropology, Makes Assertion Which Causes Comment. REAL BEAUTY WITH LIBERIANS Chicago, Ill., Nov. 10.—It has remained for a Chicago professor to advance a theory of beauty which runs counter to the standards which are generally accepted in this country. Fredrick Starr, who spent several months in Liberia, studying the native races, is the man who has made what some of us consider a belated discovery, namely, that real beauty is found among the dark skinned people. “There are no beautiful women in the United States. It is only our American good nature that makes us call a girl who is not phenomenally ugly, a pretty girl.” Fredrick Starr, professor of anthropology, has been added to the Society of Noted Crepe Hangers by the University of Chicago "co-eds" because of the foregoing statements which he made to a startled—to put it mildly—class. "Only among Liberian and kindred races is real beauty to be found. These girls have American belles looking like broken down vampires. They are prtty, because they are pure color race." Continuing the professor stated: "A handsome man or woman is the rarest of all creatures. There is no real beauty in the United States." "Our standards of beauty would be denied by any European nation," he said. "The Korean yellow race quite frequently surpasses us in specimens of beauty. The Igorrotes at the World's fair were everywhere marveled at for their physical attributes. "Beauty in a blond race is next to impossible. It is more difficult for a blonde to measure up to beauty standards than it is for a brunette. The same holds true of races. It is easier for the draker races to maintain the high standard of beauty experts than for the lighter races." Tuskegee Singers Entertain Bankers Tuskegee Singers Entertain Bankers Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—The Tuskegee Institute Quintet, under supervision of Charles Winter Wood, director of the campaign department of Tuskegee Institute, has recently completed a series of concerts in New Orleans, La., and Mobile, Ala. In New Orleans a concert was given at the First Street M. E. Church for the public, the other engagements being confined to the convention of the Investment Bankers Association, which was in session in that city and which was responsible for the singers' presence in New Orleans. Each session was opened by selections by the Tuskegee Singers and on the closing day, on a trip up the Mississippi river, the singers were the main attraction. Settlement of Loan to Liberia Near President King and Commissioners Expect to Return to West Africa Next Month. Washington, D. C., Nov. 5.—Secretary of State Hughes is nearing a settlement of the terms under which this government is to lend the Republic of Liberia $5,000,000. President C. B. D. King and a commission from Liberia have been here for several months to prevent the cancellation of the loan as was threatened at one time, and to arrange the terms so that they would call for any yielding sovereignty on the part of Liberia. With Congress favoring the loan, following the announcement of both President Harding and Secretary Hughes that America could not go back on its promises to Liberia, the State Department set about to modify the terms imposed by the Wilson administration, with the result that the arrangements will be completed within a week or ten days and the Liberian party will set sail for home. Morrisville Elects Negro to Council Morrisville, Pa.—John W. Lewis who was elected to Borough Council as a representative from the First Ward, is the only Negro in Bucks county to hold a public office of this kind. Mr. Lewis won at the election in a three-cornered fight with Raymond Bunting, running on the Democratic ticket, and George M. Palmer, a former president of the Borough Council, running independently. Mr. Lewis was the regular Republican nominee and his vote was within six as large as that polled by both his opponents. Mr. Lewis is highly respected here and throughout Bucks county. He is a director of the Morrisville Chamber of Commerce and a large stockholder in the Morrisville Trust Company. He is the second largest real estate owner and taxpayer in Morrisville and one of the most successful business men in this section. There are 2,000 voters in Morrisville and only eleven colored in the three wards. White "Y" Girls Want Colored Girls Put Out Syracuse, N. Y.—Twenty-five white girls residing in the dormitory of the Young Women's Christian Association have notified the "Y" officials that if Miss Irene Smith, a colored girl, is permitted to remain they will leave. The young lady whose presence has provoked the controversy, is intelligent and neat in appearance. She is not rooming with any of the white girls and has no desire to do so. The officials have taken a decisive stand in the matter, fearing that by siding with the white girls their Christianity will be subject to question before the world. 7 NO 7 Great Arcade Opened by Negroes Raleigh, N. C.-Raleigh stepped into the limelight as possessor of one of the most useful structures devoted to Negro enterprise in the country, during the week of the Big Negro fair in that city, when the hotel part of the new $200,000 Lightner Arcade was thrown open to public patronage. The structure is a most unique combination of business and office building, hotel and theater. The main structure is three stories high, the front portion of the second floor being occupied by business offices. The top floor of the office building is an immense auditorium, available either for dancing, rehearsals or public meetings. The whole structure was both designed and built by C. E. and R. H. Lightner, the brothers who own it, they being practical builders and contractors. A most significant feature of the building is that it was in part financed with advances from the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company, Durham, N. C., the largest concern of the kind in the race. This is the third amusement venture to be financed by these wide-awake investors, who have by this policy made possible to our definite knowledge two of the biggest theatrical projects of recent years. Scott Expresses Exact View of Race "The Negro was called to the colors like other men. He fought like other men and died like other men. He feels that if his country in its hour of peril compels him to fight its battles, it should, in time of peace, secure to him complete protection of life and liberty. He feels the urge of manhood like other men. He knows, and he wants all men to know that he knows, that in far too many instances justice to him has been prostituted by unfair and unwarranted discrimination. National misdeeds have set him to wondering if that warm love he has borne for state and nation has gone for naught.' This represents the composite statement of the Negro of the U. S. and is one of the best expressions of the Colored man's attitude today. No statement in ten years has so completely stated the view of the conservative colored American. Former Governor to Be Tried Pensacola, Fla.-Many important cases were on docket of the United States Court when the fall session began today. The case of Sidney J. Catts, former governor, indicted at the last term of court in connection with a charge of alleged peonage, heads the list. Mr. Catts is in the city awaiting the call of the case.

Two lessons of the World war, learned at heavy cost, are sharply emphasized in a War department bulletin giving the first official picture of the new national defense structure projected in the reorganized army of the United States. One lesson comes direct from the battlefields of France. It is that efficient staff work is vital to modern military operations, and with it goes the contention that staff functions cannot be learned over night. The other comes from the wartime din and confusion of the centralized training camps at home. It is that efficient mobilization of the nation's fighting strength can be carried out only as a decentralized process WITH the resumption of tariff hearings by the senate finance committee, congress will settle down for an all-winter grind on the revision of customs laws. Although February 1 has been fixed as the date to which the emergency tariff will be extended, no one seems to believe that congress will complete the enactment of permanent tariff legislation by that date. The date, February 1, was selected admittedly with a view to speeding up the progress of the permanent bill. When that date arrives congress undoubtedly will pass, a bill again extending the time of the emergency tariff. The radical departure determined upon in the American valuation plan, which contemplates the abandonment of the policy of assessing import duties on the foreign invoice value, followed by the United States practically all the time for more than a century, has been the primary cause of the slow progress made in revising the tariff law. The American valuation plan is becoming more and more to be the storm center of pending tariff legislation. COMPARATIVE statement of the condition of reporting banks, as shown by the last bank call, is made by Comptroller of Currency Crissinger. It shows that the banking system is sound, although there has been a reduction of $3,390,269,000 in resources since June, 1920. The aggregate resources of the 30,815 reporting banks are $49,688,839,000. The number of reporting banks include 8,154 national banks with resources, including rediscounts, of $20,517,862,000; 13,875 state banks with resources of $14,199,099,000; 623 mutual savings banks with resources of $6,040,121,000; 978 stock savings banks with resources of $557,910,000; 1,477 loan and trust companies with resources of $8,298,541,000; and 708 prl- THE most clever men about congress are those who have their gress are those seats in the galleries. The galleryites are the regulars who are on hand to observe. Most of them are paid for their observations and are professionals at it. The "lobbyist" has long since been deceased in Washington. In this day of advancement in things political we have "legislative agents." They are perfectly legitimate workers. These legislative agents are "master minds." They are clever men, most of them conceded to be more clever than the men with whom they are working. Foremost in the ranks of the legislative agents at the present time is Wayne B. Wineeler, general counsel for the Anti-Saloon league. So far as congress is concerned, Wheeler is the Anti-Saloon league. Alfred P. Thom, a lawyer, represents the cause of the railroads before congress, as a rule. Thom is the Washington representative of the American Association of Railway Executives. Benjamin C. Marsh carries the title of legislative agent for the National Farmers' council and sundry kindred organizations. He appears before through agencies set up in times of peace. Realization that these lessons must be worked into the new military policy, if perilous delay and costly confusion which preceded past mobilizations were to be avoided, has marked the effort of the War department. The bulletin shows it has attempted to write regulations under the revised national defense act that would furnish a clean-cut scheme for war mobilization without violating national traditions against militarism or creating machinery that would impose heavy burdens in peace times upon the taxpayers. The project undertaken probably is the most far-reaching military effort the nation has ever attempted in peace times. The foundation work has been done. All over the country decentralized machinery is being set up capable, its designers believe, of getting the nation on a war footing with little delay and confusion. The most important links in the new defense chain are the regular army, the National Guard and the Officers' Reserve corps. Col. John Palmer, assigned to aid congress in framing the legislation, has devoted himself to a study of the subject. His work now is to go to all parts of the new army and explain the workings of the new plan. TARIFF tion so far as business interests throughout the United States are concerned. Republican members of the senate committee already have gone so far as to approve definitely the American valuation plan, a substitute provision having been framed in place of the section of the house bill covering this subject. The substitute plan also has been concurred in by Republican members of the ways and means committee, so that as the situation now stands the Republican majority in both committees are so far committed to the principle that there seems no likelihood of its abandonment at any later stage in the proceedings. vate banks with resources of $175,306, 000. "The total resources of the 8,154 national banks on June 30, 1921, in- cluding rediscounts of $879,416,000, were $20,617,862,000, a reduction during the year of $2,893,991,000," the comproller reports. "Loans and dis- counts, which include paper rediscounted, acceptances and letters of credit, amounted to $12,242,802,000, compared with $14,085,056,000 on June 30, 1920. "The investments of these banks amounted to $4,025,081,000, a decline during the year of $161,384,000. "Due to a reduction in the deposits in national banks, their lawful reserve in federal reserve banks was reduced during the year $205,028,000, the amount of reserve on June 30, 1921, being $1,040,235,000. The cash in the vaults of these banks on June 30 was $374,349,000, or $76,002,000 less than the amount reported June 30, 1920." Individual deposits, including postal savings, but exclusive of United States deposits to the amount of $249,039,000, were $12,742,281,000, or $1,303,332,000 less than the amount reported June 30, 1920. YOU'RE RIGHT KONG PRESS WALTERS every committee that will hear him. Charles Lyman, secretary of the American board of farm organizations, appears before congressional committees with a rapid-fire line of argument. Edgar Wallace, the little Welshman who bears the title of legislative agent for the American Federation of Labor, is a retiring individual. When labor's cause needs some good, strong oration, Frank Morrison is sent to do the job. When labor needs legal arguments, Jackson Ralston comes up on the hill. These are but a few of the men who work with and on congress. There are 100 or more of them in Washington. ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION WILL ARMS MEET BE OPEN AFFAIR? COUNTRY IS INTENSELY INTERESTED IN THIS QUESTION STILL NOT SETTLED. PUBLIC FOR FULL PUBLICITY Best Opinion in Washington Is in Favor of Allowing the Members of the Conference to Do as They Please as to Closed Sessions. B. EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—Is the coming conference on the limitation of armaments to be an open affair? Is the public to be allowed to know what is going on within the chamber of council, or are the proceedings to be shrouded from the eyes of the public? Nobody can reply definitely as yet to these questions, but they are upstanding today and an immense amount of interest is being shown in the answers which finally will be forthcoming. It may be somewhat of a surprise to the country to learn that many of the persons most interested in the success of the conference are among the advocates of closed sessions, or at any rate of sessions which shall be open or closed at the will of the confer- On the other hand, there is a demand which is growing in insistence day by day that all of the meetings shall be thrown open to the public, except, of course, those in which votes are to be taken on matters of high moment, with a view to making the results public as soon as the opinions of the conferees on a particular matter have been learned. Questionnaires to prominent officials in Washington and to Washington correspondents have come from several bodies here and there, from newspaper organizations and from individuals asking that each person addressed give his views as to the advisability of open or closed sessions of the conference. Public Is Suspicious. Naturally enough the public will want to know what is going on within the council chamber and also naturally enough the public is afraid that if closed doors are the order of the day some of the conferees may be able to induce results by subtle methods which they could not induce if the world was auditor and spectator in one. The word of every country which is to be a party to the conference, has been passed that everything done will be done in the best interests of a limitation of armaments and of a proper settlement of the problems of the Far East. Is this to be depended on? From the point of view of the State department, the word of every nation whose representatives will meet in Washington, must be taken at its face value without so much as a shrug of doubt. Diplomacy, of course, believes that the casting of doubt, or even the suggestion of a suspicion concerning motives, may work to the disadvantage of frankness in the interchange of views, and also possibly to prevent success from being attained. It seems to the writer that the majority of worth while opinion in Washington is in favor of allowing the conferences to do as they please about open or shut sessions. Experience has shown, so some of the diplomats say, that if the sessions are open the delegates will not speak their minds as freely on various subjects as they would if they knew that what they say is not to be given to the world. Of course it is realized that if the delegates do not open their hearts to their fellow conferences there cannot be an entirely proper basis for negotiations, because the feeling will be always that something is being held back. Would Speak Freely in Private. It is conceivable, of course, that Japan, for instance, might not be willing to say to the people of the United States just what it is willing to say in conference to delegates of this country on some question or other like that of Yap, if this small territory can be taken as an example. It is possible that in what may be called a closet conference, the Japanese might be willing to give in specific terms every grievance which they have, and every suspicion which they have of the motives of other countries. They might give these grievances and suspicions to the conferences, hoping that they could be answered in good faith and to the satisfaction of the grievance and suspicion holders. It is not at all likely that any country would like to give to the public the entire roster of its fears and suspicions. Washington is still puzzled as to what it is to do with visitors which will come to the city this winter. This matter has been touched upon in the press quite frequently, but it is becoming a more grievous one day by day, because it is fully expected that the scenes of war-time winters in Washington will be re-enacted this year. It is almost impossible today to find anything vacant in the way of apartments or living rooms outside of the hotels. The hotels themselves will be in rather a hard way to provide for American visitors later on, because the foreigners have taken whole floors in many of the greater hostelries. Disarmament Societies Active. Comment has been frequent and snarp in the press of the country because of the evident intention of cer- train organizations to press for complete disarmament on the part of the United States, no matter what the result of the coming conference on the limitation of armaments may be. This intention of certain societies which have banded together to influence this government to iny itself bare to foreign aggression, even if other nations shall insist on strengthening their armies and navies, is undeniably a source of anxiety to the administration and to those departments of government which are endearing to provide for sanity of procedure in the future. Getting down to the personal element in this matter, it might be said that the writer of this, who has taken the ground on all occasions that this country should be guided by the action of other countries, has received an intimation from one great council which comprises many organizations, that its members should not be included in the list of those who desire that the United States shall scrap its army and its navy if the other nations insist on keeping armed to the teeth. The council in question is called "The National Council for the Limitation of Armaments," Miss Katherine Luddington, member of the executive council of the League of Women Voters, which is associated with the council in the work in hand, has said this: Stands for Limitation. "Two things should be strongly emphasized, first—that the National Council for the Limitation of Armaments stands for just what its name indicates—limitation of armaments. Some of its component organizations have a more inclusive program, but the common meeting ground for all of the organizations forming our council is 'limitation of armaments by international agreement.' We have the most cordial desire to support the American delegates to the international conference in their efforts to accomplish the objects for which the conference was entitled." One always wishes to be fair, and so I quote from a letter which has been sent to me direct by one who knows that I feel that disarmament will be folly unless other nations shall disarm. The letter comes from the headquarters of the National Council for the Limitation of Armaments and it contains this paragraph: "Please do not confuse the National Council with any of the groups advocating a complete disarmament program or a pacifist program. The National Council, as a council, urges just one thing—the limitation of armaments by concerted action of the nations represented at the coming conference." There are organizations connected with this council whose endeavor probably is for complete disarmament on the part of the United States, no matter what other nations may do but in the main the affiliated associations seem to realize that the integrity of the country depends on its refraining from laying its breast bare to a world armed. It is to be expected, and the expectation unquestionably will be met, that some few members of the associations making up the Council will break loose and plead in public for that kind of disarmament which unquestionably would mean the undoing of their country, unless the rest of the world is benignly inclined. This thing has happened on several occasions already. One Extremist Member. There are about thirty organizations within the council. Some of the more prominent ones among them are the National Educational association, the General Federation of Women's Clubs, the National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Associations, the Young Women's Christian association, the National Board of Farm Organizations, and the American Association of University Women. It is with something like sorrow that it is discovered that in the list of the organizations composing the council the American Union Against Militarism is represented. This union did what it could against proper preparedness prior to the war and some of its members later became active in organizations whose efforts, to put it mildly, did not make for strong endeavor to win the war against Germany. It always has been an extremist organization and probably always will be. If some of its members break loose to speak in behalf of complete disarmament, no matter what the rest of the world may do, trouble almost unquestionably will come to this National Council for Limitation of Armaments. Some one with a strong hand perhaps will be necessary to put the brakes on in case discussion and propaganda gets beyond the "limitation" stage of procedure. Daily Short Story.

It seems to me that when a woman's job at home fills her whole time she earns far more than she could ever earn outside, since she earns practically the combined wages of half a dozen specialized workers she would have to employ to replace her. But in these days the home job doesn't usually fill the whole time of a woman. Housekeeping has been simplified by the labor-saving devices so much employed. The training of children after the first few years of their lives is carried on largely outside the home, and few women find their whole time taken up by the business of homemaking, at least after the few years while their children are small. It is here that the difficulty lies, and it is this situation that is responsible for the restlessness among modern women and the increasing tendency among many of them to take jobs outside the home. --- THE COLORADO STATESMAN LAUGH OF LAUGHTER FIER BACK COUNTRY PARTY JOSEPH D.

DESPITE repeated warnings that go out almost daily from the press and from responsible heads of stable financial institutions, many people continue to play fast and loose with their dollars, and bite with sucker-like alacrity at almost any get-rich-quick scheme that is presented to them. It has been only a short time ago since the fake stock salesman and promoter was seeking a more honest, if less oily manner of living, owing to the general business stagnation and depression that enveloped the country. We are far from being out of the woods yet, but there are hopeful signs on the financial horizon, and as a result these venturesome vultures come forth once again seeking what they may devour and destroy. Unfortunately the country seems just now to be fairly within the throes of numberless fake organizations and schemes designed to extort money from innocent people whose dreams of riches and sudden affluence far outbalance their better judgment. A stock salesman comes on the scene with glittering and alluring promises. There is apparently no chance to lose. The most far-fetched sure-thing game is placed at your disposal. Master Fortune stands squarely back of you with both hands on your chair, with Fate banished to the four winds. The victim falls beneath the spell and is relieved of hard-earned savings in the vain grasp at a huge fortune. This is a condition more to be pitied, however, than censured, especially so far as our group is concerned. Our savings at best are mageg, but carefully guarded they supply a sure foundation from which ease and comfort may accrue in later years. There is one sure rule of guidance in all cases where smooth-tongued canvassers, either white or black, call at your door with a plea for you to part with hard-earned dollars, and that is to turn a deaf ear to every appeal. Their interest is not in your welfare, but in the flattering commissions they receive from sales, regardless of the value of the thing sold. Tearful repentance avails nothing when the character of the swindle becomes known. The crime is all the more monumental when carried on in the name of a church, welfare society or supposed charity. It is sometimes a convenient subterfuge to stock up on a little Christmas money at this season of the year by a false appeal to "race loyalty." Keep your dollars in your pockets; be content with small but consistent savings, remembering ever that "all is not gold that glitters." 300 THE VOICE THAT WAS STILLED. IT MAY have been merely a coincidence, but surely a strange one, that in all of the churches of the dominant group in Denver last Sunday, eloquent preachments soared heavenward on the bounties and blessings of Thanksgiving and its significance, but NOT A WORD in condemnation of a dynamite attack on members of another race only a few nights before. Much was said of brotherly love, peace on earth, and of the effects of Christianity on our every-day lives. But evidently the eyes of the speakers were closed and their remarks not intended to reach beyond the audience conveniently on hand at that time. May we ask what has become of the fearless, outspoken man of God who would condemn every outrage against inoffensive citizens no matter what their race or creed? What has become of Christian leaders who outwardly professed and often preached in the interest of fair play—a square deal? Who can fold his arms, close his eyes and lift his voice heavenward in a specious plea for the recognized Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man, and yet disregard the undeserved plight of a next-dor neighbor? No wonder our growing skepticism and bewildering doubts mount higher and higher each day. There is manifestly something woefully wrong with the machinery we have been pleased to designate as CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION. It is with brute derision that the unspeakable, murderous Turk asks of the helpless Armenian in the hour of bloody slaughter, "Where is thy God?" Our query is upon somewhat nobler ground, but nevertheless we are often prone to ask many great religious leaders of today, "Where is thy God and who is He?" Surely not the God of tender mercy and justice, but the God of large bank accounts, bulging interests and the almighty dollar. Surely not the God who said that whatsoever ye do to the very least of these in His name is done also unto Him, but the God of race prejudice, selfishness and plain hypocrisy. No other conclusion is open to us. The white man's religion was at first crammed down our throats and later we adopted it as a worthy ointment. But we are finding it faulty as applied from the white man's viewpoint. We must go directly to God. We must speak out for ourselves. THERE is an ancient fable of a temple within which a fire burned eternally. All America is a temple and the race question is the fire. President Harding's recent address at Birmingham, Alabama, has added fuel to the burning bush; it set it ablaze. The current number of the Literary Digest contains hundreds of extracts from leading journals and periodicals, and from north, south, east and west, colored and white, setting forth divergent views on the meaning and possible effects of that address. Needless to say, the great majority of southern papers find in the speech a mischief-making argument. There are those who contend that it was a flagrant violation of the proprieties and will make the ignorant and vicious of both races more vicious. The South resents what it terms a lecture on its own peculiar problem. It shrinks from the plain truth and objects to its own reflections as revealed in the mirror of stated facts. It still begs to be let alone, steeped as it is in ignorance and every day violations of the rights of citizens entitled to just and equable consideration. On the other hand, there are a few like the Atlanta Constitution and Louisville Times, that regard the address as a plain, impressive enunciation of truth. They see in the President's utterances a possibility that the day will come soon when the race problem will be settled along the exact lines laid down by the nation's executive. There are many Negro journals that also find bothersome places of leakage in the President's speech, but their objections follow mainly the argument about social equality. As for ourselves, we wish this meaningless reference could be wholly left out of all discussion of the race question. There is no such thing, and even if it existed, no one would want it, and if they wanted it would find it impossible of attainment. Equality of opportunity is all that the Negro asks, and no race is entitled to less. But we are forced to commend the Presideat for his very remarkable candor and earnestness. He bearded the "lion in his den, the Douglass in his hall." He drove home hard-headed facts even though they may have fallen upon deaf ears. There is recognized difficulty in raising a crop on ground that has no fertility, and the South will have to do some mighty cultivation before it can be expected to gain much of a harvest from the seed sown by the merciless hand of President Harding. Its density has not been fully probed, but meanwhile the fire still burns and from its glare will arise more and more vexing ghosts of a vicious past that the South cannot blind itself to. Beauty and Splendor of the Land Are Priceless Heritage of People By DR. HENRY VAN DYKE. American Man of Letters After three weeks in Yellowstone park and the region roundabout, I have got the great idea clearly, practically, radically—root and trunk and all the branches: the beauty and splendor of the land are the priceless heirlooms of the people who dwell in it. Like all other heirlooms, they must be protected not only from the greed and craft of robbers, but also from the wasteful folly of spendthrift heirs. From generation to generation they must be handed on, untarnished by misuse, undiminished by reckless extravagance, unspoiled by mistaken attempts at modern improvement After three weeks in Yellowstone park and the region roundabout, I have got the great idea clearly, practically, radically—root and trunk and all the branches: the beauty and splendor of the land are the priceless heirlooms of the people who dwell in it. Like all other heirlooms, they must be protected not only from the greed and craft of robbers, but also from the wasteful folly of spendthrift heirs. From generation to generation they must be handed on, untarnished by misuse, undiminished by reckless extravagance, unspoiled by mistaken attempts at modern improvement (like the so-called "restoration" of ancient cathedrals). As far as possible, they must be kept in their antique, ever-new, pristine loveliness and grandeur, even as the long-working, temperamental, poetic hand of God devised and modeled them through the centuries for the delight and wonder of man, his child and lesser image. Of course there are vast regions of earth to be tamed and cultivated by private enterprise; filled with flocks and herds; harnessed to labor for the supply of man's physical needs. And this also, if it be wisely done, may produce a certain kind of beauty—the charm of wide, fertile fields and well planned gardens. Towns and cities must also be built. Yet man is an individual first of all; and as an individual he has a vital need of play and rest and fellowship with nature, quite as deep as his necessity of common toil. If civilization should take that need out of him, it might make him more productive—but of what? He would be no longer a human being, but a strange monster, part of a machine, bound to incessant, superfluous industry interrupted only by spasms of the destructive madness which is called war. Against that fatal degeneracy there are two prophylactics: Art and nature. And the greater of these is nature. "Then, How the D-l Is It That Some Folks Don't Get Enough to Eat?" By PETER CLARK MACFARLANE, in New York World I believe the farmer is thinking as he never thought before. He wants to know the answer to innumerable whys. He is mentally digging down to the root of economics and trying to find a means by which he may solve his own business problems and get a line on the collective problems of the people. A case in point. After one of my lectures (my subject was "Us Americans"), a bearded farmer, standing with one foot on the running-board of his flivver, waved his hand in the direction of a great field of ripening grain and said: "Plenty of wheat, ain't they?" Another sweep of the hand took the direction of a corn field. "Plenty of corn, ain't they?" he repeated. He pointed to a drove of sleek cattle grazing in a rich pasture, to a flock of sheep on the other side of the highway and then to the poultry busily scratching within a barnyard inclosure. "Plenty of beef and mutton and hens and eggs, ain't they?" I nodded a general assent. "Well, then," said the farmer, screwing his face into an expression of impatience, "how the d—l is it that some folks don't get enough to eat?" That at the moment is the thought that is engaging his attention, and it is not without significance. It Is Expensive Business for a Woman to Replace Herself in the Home By MRS. MARY SCHWARTZ ROSE, in New York Herald It is an expensive business for a woman to replace herself in the home. If she decides to take a job outside the home, and starts in to see that the work she has been doing at home is done by some one else, she finds out that she cannot replace herself by one person, but must have several. Submarine a Weapon Deserving Serious Consideration and Development By EDWIN DENBY, U. S. Secretary of the Navy Our navy today is seriously lacking in recently developed types of submarines. We have no mine laying submarines, no fleet submarines, except the three V boats now under construction; no submarines with large caliber guns, such as the British M class, and, what is more important, no long radius cruiser submarines. It is considered highly important to the national defense of this country to construct at least three each of these types for experimental and development purposes, so that in event of a national emergency we will be in a position to continue the construction of the types most necessary. The present submarine force of the navy consists of 142 submarines of all types and ages, including those authorized but still under construction. Of these there are at present 101 submarines in commission and 41 under construction. After careful consideration I have reached the conclusion that the submarine is a weapon deserving of serious consideration and development. 3 THE COLORADO STATESMAN --- The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West --- RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations.

Her many friends here gladly welcome her return. Mrs. Olive A. Armstead of Kansas City, Mo., is the house guest of Mrs. Mable Lewis Lorie of 1017 Bannock street. Word comes to the Colorado Statesman that I. H. Harper, one of our old and respected citizens, is very ill at his home, 2722 Larimer street. The event of the season will be when Mr. and Mrs. Shirley Liggins appear in vocal and dramatic recital at Shorter, Wednesday, Dec. 7th. 35c. G. A. Derry, thirty-third degree Mason and deputy of Colorado jurisdiction, left Wednesday for Pueblo, Colo., where he will install thirty-second degree Scottish Rite Masons. Mrs. Minnie Smith, a former resident of this city and mother of Claude F. Smith, our popular soda dispenser, stopped over in Denver for a few days' visit, on her way from Omaha to Los Angeles. She will spend the winter in lower California points. The College Chum Frolique dancing party at Fern hall Tuesday night proved to be a very pretty affair, and a permanent organization may result therefrom. Mr. Frank Gaines and Robert Davis are the promoters. The Rocky Mountain Court of Calaniche gave a beautiful reception in their hall last Saturday night, complimentary to the Uniform Rank of Knights of Pythias. They gave a donation of $25 to the newly formed band that is showing such rapid progress. Miss Georgia Washington, one of Denver's most brilliant and beloved young girls, and a recent graduate of Howard University, Washington, D.

The popular vesper service which is held every Sunday at the Church of the Holy Redeemer, and which has been largely attended during the few weeks of its existence, will have a programme far exceeding any hitherto presented. The special ten-minute speaker will be the Reverend David Fouse, of the Seventeenth Avenue Community Church, who will speak upon "The Church and Community Work." Beside the unusually fine congregational singing, and an excellent three-minute paper by Miss Carol Jarrott, a member of the Bible class, there will be a vocal solo by Mrs. Senora Maxwell, and last but not least, a violin solo by the pride of Denver, Prof. George Morrison, accompanied by his special pianist, Mrs. Weaver. Come early and get a seat. Remember we begin promptly at 5 o'clock and close on the minute of 6 o'clock. EIGHT DAY MISSION AT CHURCH OF THE HOLY REDEEMER. The Rev. John Albert Williams, of Omaha, Neb., Will Conduct Services Daily. People who are unfamiliar with the evangelistic methods of the Episcopal church will have an opportunity to get acquainted with them through the eight-day mission which is to be conducted at the Church of the Redeemer, Twenty-second Ave., and Humbodlt St., by the Rev. John Albert Williams, who for the past 30 years has been rector of the church of St. Phillip's, the Deacon, Omaha, Neb.

The chief service will be a celebration of the Holy Communion daily at 7 a. m., and the special mission of revival service at 7:45 o'clock every night. Besides the sermon, questions on the Episcopal church will be answered. Father Williams has conducted successful missions in Boston, Mass.; Kansas City, Kas., and Missouri; Keokuk, Ind., and other places. He has many invitations to hold missions, but only occasionally leave his own work in Omaha to do so. Father Williams will arrive in Denver Saturday evening and will be the guest of Father Rahming during his stay in our city. A REAL THANKSGIVING The true holiday spirit was in the air Thursday. With an ideal day of perfect Colorado weather the setting was complete for one of the most enjoyable Thanksgiving days seen here in many years. UNION SERVICES. The churches of every denomination joined at Shorter Church for a most impressive union service. Rev. Floyd T. Smith was the speaker of the day and delivered a strong message. The church was filled to overflowing and the audience was noticeably possessed of a remarkable spiritual feeling. Rev. S. A. Stripling was master of ceremonies and presided in an able manner. He called for an offering of $75 which was speedily placed upon the collection tables. These union services are growing in power and doing much to unite the Christian forces of the city. AT THE REDEEMER. An unusually large number took advantage of a fine turkey dinner at the Church of the Redeemer and every one was filled to capacity by the appetizing offerings of the ladies forming the vestment committee. AT ST. STEPHEN'S. In all parts of Denver sumptuous family dinners were the order with the gayety of music added, thus renewing and cementing old friendships in a way that only a festal board can inspire. Among these was an eight-course dinner by Mrs. Charlotte Jackson, a very swell affair by Mr. and Mrs. Rene Benoit, a similar affair by Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Jackson in honor of Mr. W. H. Hopper of Eastonville, and a six-course dinner by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Galnes. DANCING AT NIGHT Held forth at both Fern and Old Colony halls, at which large crowds enjoyed themselves 'til the midnight hour. Taking all in all it was an unusual day of Thanksgiving, every one seemingly counting their many blessings of the past year and joyously looking forward to even greater ones in the years to come. NEGRO WOMAN OBSERVES 118TH THANKSGIVING DAY. New Orleans, La., Nov. 24.—Adele Nicholas today celebrated her 118th Thanksgiving with a bundle of "goodies" given her by a Negro school. According to her records, she was born on a farm in Plaquemine, La., in 1803, and was sold as a slave three times. FLAG PRESENTATION AT CAMP- BELL CHURCH. Those who failed to attend the presentation of a handsome American flag to the pastor and members of Campbell A. M. E. Church last Sunday, by the Women's Relief Corps, certainly missed one of the most beautiful and impressive services ever held in Denver. Attorney S. E. Cary made the principal address and his logic, eloquence and graphic word painting of the horrors of war, brought tears to the eyes of every one of the frail veterans of the G. A. R. and Women of the Relief Corps present. Mrs. Davis in her presentation address stated that it was the purpose of her organization to place such a flag in all places of worship. Mrs. L. S. Wilson accepted the flag in a very pretty and appropriate address. Other speakers were Underwood Spriggs for the Boy Scouts and George W. Gross, for the N. A. A. C. P. CITY OF DENVER INCREASES OF FER OF REWARD TO $500.00 Commissioner of Safety Hon. F. M Downer, Determined to Run Down Criminals. The Colorado Statesman believes that the officials of Denver were never more in earnest in their desire and efforts to run down and bring to justice, perpetrators of a dastardly deed, than they are in trying to apprehend and convict the criminal who bombed the home of Charles E. Starr at 2112 Gilpin street on the night of Nov. 15. On Tuesday morning a committee appointed at a joint meeting of the Denver Colored Civic Association and the N. A. A. C. P. Sunday afternoon called upon Commissioners of Safety and Excise Frank M. Downer and pointed out that the city's offer of a reward of $250.00 was inadequate in face of the enormity of the offense committed. Mr. Downer at once grasped the point and doubled the amount, making $500.00 offered by the city of Denver. We are proud of this ready response on the part of Mr. Downer, giving every evidence that the police department will leave no stone unturned to capture and convict the lawless gang back of this bombing act. We stated last week that Mr. Starr and his family are entitled to all the protection possible for the police department to extend. We go further and say that the humblest home in Denver should be as zealously protected as that of mansion or palace. We believe this will be done. DENVER BRANCH HOLDS IMPORT ANT MEETING. At the residence of Mrs. M. Flora Stell, 2427 Ogden street, Monday night the Denver Branch of the National Association for the advancement of Colored People held a very interesting meeting. The president announced that immediately following the bombing of the Starr residence at 2112 Gilpin street on Tuesday night. Nov. 15, he posted a reward of two hundred dollars for apprehension of the guilty parties. The committee not only fully endorsed this action but took immediate steps to back Dr. C. F. Holmes in his fight against the Orpheum theater. Other business transacted was the report of the committee appointed to audit the books of the secretary and treasurer, the selection of line officers and standing committees for 1922. The following statement was issued to the public: TO THE PUBLIC. The general public will please acquaint itself with the fact that the Denver Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is wide awake to the situation, as happened in our city, in the bombing of the home of Mr. Starr, located at 2112 Gilpin street, City and County of Denver, and the Association has posted a reward of two hundred dollars, in addition to other rewards offered by the City and County of Denver, and any others which may be forthcoming, for the apprehension and conviction of the criminal or criminals guilty of the crime of throwing the bomb; and the Association stands ready to do all within its power to bring to justice the perpetrator of such crime committed now or hereafter.

Arranged according to size, it was a beautiful sight to see them lined up in twos on the sidewalk. On account of the heavy snow it was impossible for them to do much drilling, but they were put through other exercises of a very helpful and needed sort. The trip to the mountains had also to be postponed on account of the condition of the weather. About forty men and boys attended the swimming and gymnasium lessons at the bath house last Wednesday evening. For a while Mr. Townsend and Mr. Parks had their hands full. At the last meeting of the Committee of Management, the committee voted that the Branch be represented at the twentieth annual meeting of the Colored Department of the Y. M. C. A. will be held in Cincinnati on Dec. 1 to 4th. Mr. Parks was elected and will leave tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. The lecture for business men will be held tonight. The subject will be, "How to Build Up a Business," by Mr. John Arbenz, of Arbenz and Parker's Real Estate firm. It will begin at 7:30 o'clock. It will be open to everybody. Tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon, a joint meeting of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. will be held at the St. Stephen's Baptist church, Lafayette street and East Twenty-Third avenue, and will begin at 3:30 o'clock.

CAR PILOTS NOW HAVE SORE FEET Physicians Are Treating Victims Who "Step on Gas" Too Long Without Rest. CLAIM EFFECTS NOT SERIOUS Disease Usually Follows Long Trip Through Which Driver Has Remained Continually at Wheel. —Origin Easily Traced. It is not all smooth sailing for the driver of a "gasoline wagon," according to physicians, who report that many motorists are returning from long trips with a decidedly noticeable limp. It is the new foot disease. But don't be alarmed; it is not at all serious. The disease is always acquired in the accelerator foot, the appendage that shoves the car over the road at a fast clip. Continued pressure of the foot on the accelerator button causes a displacement of the metatarsal bones, declare physicians who have diagnosed cases that have been brought to their attention. Its effects are not serious. Rest is the only cure. One Day Turns Trick. More than one motorist returns home limping in one day, doctors aver. Long trips cause strains on the car and the driver. The strain on the accelerator foot sets up a nervous irritation that results in pain, and as a result the driver abandons his car with a limp every time he walks. The disease is commonly known as the "motor foot," but is technically called the "nectatarsal displacement." The limp usually develops in the right foot, for few drivers are "left-footed." The disease usually follows a long overland trip, through which the driver has remained steadily at his post, and never has thought to give the pedal extremity a rest. Swell Doctors' Coffers. The coffers of the chiropodists and orthopedic surgeons have taken on a silver lining since the arrival of the new hoof affliction. Many motor vacationists return to receive treatments. Massages and rest are said to cure the pains as rapidly as other treatments. Motorists accustomed to long drives scoff at the idea of the disease. If there is any such alliment, they declare, it easily can be thwarted by shifting feet. Some doctors call the alliment "acute foot strain." The origin of the disease is easily accounted for, they say. Releasing the tension of the accelerator spring, followed by more moderate driving, will diminish the prevalence of the alliment, physicians say. WATER IN COOLING SYSTEM Important That It Be Changed Every Week or Two to Prevent Rust Accumulation. Few drivers realize how important it is to change the water in the cooling system every week or two. The rust accumulates and should be drawn off while it is in a finely divided form. If it is allowed to accumulate too long it collects in masses and gradually fills up the water jackets. In time the cooling water cannot reach the bottoms of the jackets and the engine overheats very readily. AVOID TROUBLE IN STEERING Knuckle Pivot Pins Should Be Greased at All Times to Prevent Becoming Rusty. Lack of lubrication is the chief cause of hard steering. The steering knuckle pivot pins should be greased at all times. They have large surfaces, which cause a heavy draft, if dry and rusty. SURE-ACTING-PRIMER SAVES AUTO BATTERY SURE-ACTING-PRIMER SAVES AUTO BATTERY Device Causes Engine to Start Firing at Once. Means Found for Injecting Into Cylinders Sufficient Amount of Gasoline to Vaporize and Mix With Air. Many automobiles require a sure-acting priming device to cause the engine to start firing at once, instead of compelling the starting motor to whir for long periods, which puts a heavy drain on the storage battery. Therefore, some means must be found of injecting into the cylinders a sufficient amount of gasoline so that enough will vaporize and mix with the air in the combustion chamber to form an ignitable mixture. The best of these is one that can be operated from the driver's seat. Obtain an ordinary sight-feed oil cup, as shown in the illustration. Attach it to a suitable part of the car, such as the dash, or mount it on the engine block, above the carburetor. By the use of one-eighth-inch copper pipe, like that for the gasoline line, the cup should be connected with the intake manifold directly above the vertical tube to the carburetor. Then, by the adjustment of the feed-valve on the cup, the correct amount of gasoline is admitted to the manifold in the right place. In this way all cylinders will receive the same mixture, and of course will develop maximum power. After the engine has started well, the feed-valve cup can be closed. This method is far more reliable than prim- COPPER TUBING GLASS OIL CUP DASH INTAKE MANIFOLD Save your storage battery by equip ping your car with this simple sure acting primer.

L. Prindle, in Popular Science Monthly. TRICK YOU MAY NOT KNOW Simple Little Trick to Make the Hub Cap Do Its Own Loosening When It Sticks. In case the ordinary method of placing a wrench on a sticking hub cap and then tapping the wrench with a hammer, fails, try this: Place a small box or horse of very nearly the height of the hub from the floor, along-side the wheel, so that when the latter is turned the end of the wrench will strike the box, the force of the blow loosening the cap.

SALAD COMBINATIONS A head of lettuce with a delicious salad dressing is a dish fit for a king. One may analyze a dressing and be able to identify all the ingredients, but to put them together with the tang, the flavor and the tempting One may analyze a dressing and be able to identify all the ingredients, but to put them together with the tang, the flavor and the tempting manner of the little table d'hote or tearoom seems impossible. Many times it is an illusive seasoning hard to describe or identify. Garlic has been tabooed by people who have never tasted it. Simply the mention of garlic is enough to call forth criticism. Garlic when correctly used makes a delicate, indescribable, appetizing flavor; it is also a natural aid to digestion. The salad bowl rubbed with the cut side of a clove of garlic is enough to season a salad; more would be too much. A garlic vinegar is easily prepared and is always ready to add to any salad dressing. To a small bottle of vinegar add a finely sliced clove of garlic, let it stand for three weeks, strain and it is ready for use. Pear and Tomato Salad.—Peel ripe pears cut in eighths and arrange with ripe tomatoes cut in the same sized pieces on crisp inner leaves of head lettuce. Pour over any well-seasoned dressing. The following is one which will prove a favorite: Sherry's Dressing.—Take two tablespoonfuls of chopped red and green pepper, both the sweet variety; add one tablespoonful of powdered sugar, a teaspoonful of salt, one-quarter of a teaspoonful of red pepper, one-fourth cupful of good vinegar and one cupful of the best olive oil, one small Southern onion chopped fine. Shake in a plint jar for five minutes, then set away to chill. This will keep for two weeks in the ice chest. Diced pineapple, green grapes, skinned, halved and seeded; bananas cut in bits, a dozen quartered marshmallows. Add a spoonful of mayonnaise dressing to a cupful of whipped cream and serve in a nest of the heart leaves of head lettuce. The common things of life are all so dear. The waking in the warm half-gloom To find again the old familiar room. The scents and sights and sounds that never tire; The homely work, the plans, the lift of baby's laugh; The opening door, the handclasp and the kiss- Is heaven not, after all, the now and here? The common things of life are all so dear. THINGS WORTH REMEMBERING House dresses purchased already made are often colored with cheap dyes. To set the color take one tablespoonful of turpentine to one gallon of water, and soak the garment for three hours in this solution before it is washed. If so treated the colors will not fade, and the dress will look like new it take one tablespoonful of turpentine to one gallon of water, and soak the garment for three hours in this solution before it is washed. If so treated the colors will not fade, and the dress will look like new if carefully laundered. To keep pillows clean: Use old slips under the better ones, for added protection to the ticking. The pillows not only look better for the extra white cover, but the ticking is kept fresh much longer. Before using a paint brush soak it in warm water up to the handle. This swells the wood and tightens the bristles, so they will not come out: Osage orange chips make a beautiful shade of buff or orange. Boll the chips, strain, and boll the cloth to be dye in the liquid. To keep frost from settling on windows, wipe them with a cloth moistened with glycerin. How to wash feathers; Open a small corner of the pillow and pour the feathers into boiling water to molsten; they are then a wet mass, which can be removed and washed with soap and water. The tick washed and the wet feathers returned to the tick, it is sewed up and put out in the sun and wind to dry. Feathers treated this way will be light and fluffy. Three old-fashioned picture frames of choice wood were used for a triplicate mirror. The frames were fitted with mirror glass and hinged together, making an inexpensive and beautiful mirror. Keep the old whisk brooms for sink brushes. After soaking clothes, put them on it come to a boll with a tablespoonful of kerosene to half a cake of soap and ten to twelve quarts of water. Turn often, and remove as soon as boiling hot. The kerosene and soap will soften the soil, and the clothes will wash very easily. Old flannelette garments make fine floor cloths or broom bag covers. Nellie Maxwell CONGRESS ENDS LONG SESSION CONGRESS ENDS LONG SESSION BOTH HOUSES TO TAKE REST UNTIL REGULAR TERM OPENS DECEMBER 5. HARDING SIGNS BILLS MANY NOMINATIONS BY PRESI DENT LEFT TO DIE BY SENATE ADJOURNEMENT. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Washington.—The first and special session of the Sixty-seventh Congress ended after President Harding had visited the capital and signed measures enacted in the closing hours. The House was the first to close up shop. Chief among the measures signed by Mr. Harding were the tax revision and maternity bills. After finally disposing of the tax bill, the Senate turned to clean up some 500-odd presidential nominations. But nearly half of the number were left to die under the law. Most of these were minor postmastership appointments. It was understood attempts to put through the last minute nominations had been blocked largely through charges of several senators that an effort was being made to "railroad" appointments. Meanwhile the House was awaiting announcement that the President had signed the tax and maternity bills and had no other communications, and when so informed, adjourned. The Senate finished its executive business and followed the House in adjournment. Establishment of a technical status of peace with the former central powers and enactment of reconstruction legislation were principal achievements of the extra session of the Sixty-seventh Congress. Among the accomplishments of the special session of the Sixty-seventh Congress were the passage of: Treaties creating technical peace with centrial powers. Appropriation bills aggregating nearly $900,000,000, including the army and navy supply measures. The temporary immigration restriction bill. Establishment of the federal budget system. The Capper-Tincher bill for regulating grain markets. The Edge export corporation bill. The law for federal regulation of the meat packing and other live stock industries. Providing for reorganization of soldier relief agencies and other reforms of the Sweet bill. The Sheppard-Towner maternity bill. The agricultural credits measure, providing a billion-dollar revolving credit fund for the War Finance Corporation. The Willis-Campbell anti-beer bill, prohibiting "medical" beer and reducing wine and whiskey prescriptions. The federal good roads aid bill, appropriating $75,000,000 for state aid. propriating $15,000,000 for state aid. Numerous other measures were enacted partially being passed by either the Senate or House. Numerous investigations also were conducted, prominent among them being the general inquiry into agricultural conditions by a joint commission. Man Killed in Political Feud. Chicago.—Nicola Alamo was killed by three men, who drew revolvers and fired as he started to enter his home. Police believe his death marks a recurrence of the Nineteenth ward political feud, in which more than a dozen persons have been killed. Indians May Move to Mexico. El Paso, Texas.—Representatives of the Mexican government came here to confer with Chief Charles Washhresha, who represents 10,000 American Indians who are contemplating establishing a colony in northern Mexico. "There are five or six tribes in this country who will move to Mexico with us if we can find the right sort of land," said Chief Washhresha. He explained that the land held by the Indians in Oklahoma no longer is fit for cultivation because of oil seepage from the many wells. Merchants Take Corn Madelia, Minn.—Merchants of Madelia have decided to accept corn as payment of debts and for purchases of merchandise. This action followed complaint of farmers that they were unable to meet financial obligations, and held the low market price of corn made it impractical for them to haul grain to market. Merchants came forward with an offer that they will accept corn as payment of debts and for payment of current purchases. Intoxication Increasing. New York.—There have been more cases of public intoxication this summer than at any time in the history of the Fifth Avenue Court in Brooklyn, either before or since prohibition. In October there have been 156 arrests made for drunkenness. In September there were only sixty-five. In one day fourteen men said to be in a "hangover" state were arraigned there before Magistrate Reynolds and given fines and short jail terms.

Winsome Holiday Gifts ```markdown ``` Innumerable pretty things in dress accessories and house furnishings are presented in the shops at Christmas time for women. The only difficulty is to make the right choice among them. Whoever determines to settle upon neckwear cannot go wrong; for no woman ever cries "hold, enough!" in this matter of dainty accessories. A vestee and collar of embroidered swiss, as pictured here, is a thing of sheer beauty that is sure to please. Suited to Everyone Here is a gift bag that may be depended on to please anyone who is fortunate enough to receive it and is suited to either men or women. It will answer many purposes and requires only a basket, a length of silk for the top, silk cord for hangers and small silk roses for trimming, to make it. In larger sizes it makes an attractive laundry bag. Gift Ribbons T Each year brings in new sashes, girdles, hair-bows and a long list of other belongings to replace those that have had their bright day and passed with the year. Two ribbon girdles, as pictured here, make charming gifts. One of them is made of narrow satin ribbon bordered with a tinsel ribbon and decorated with ribbon flowers. The other is a wide sash of two-toned satin ribbon with loops at each side and a knot at the back. A Merry Clown Doll J This merry gentleman is one of many dolls that may be made of discarded ribbed underwear or stockings. His head is made of a piece of white or pink ribbed stocking and his face painted with black and red paint. For the rest of him two colors are used and he is stuffed with cotton and has a white ruffle about his neck. Copyright, 1921, Western Newspaper Union.

Serving the ordinary foods in an extraordinary way is a faculty worth cultivating. Lamb chops with a little extra work may make a dish unusual and especially appetizing. Choose the loin chops and have them cut quite thick. Remove the skin and superfluous fat and with a knife cut a rosette. from the outside edge, reaching to the bone. Into this pocket place a stuffing made of moistened bread, sage, butter, salt, pepper and onion juice. Sprinkle the chops with salt and pepper and place in a hot oven to bake twenty to thirty minutes. Make a gravy from the fat in the pan to serve with the chops. Another and more elaborate as well as more delicious dish is made by cooking both sides of loin chops until well browned. Season and set away to cool. Make a thick white sauce, using four tablespoonfuls of flour to three of butter and one cupful of milk. Season and add two tablespoonfuls of finely minced ham. Spread the chops on both sides with this mixture, using the bone for a handle. Set away to become firm, then at serving time dip in egg and crumbs and fry in deep fat until a golden brown. This is one dish that will be often called for by those who have tried it. Apples and Almonds.—Core and peel one-half dozen even-sized apples. Cook until tender but not broken, place in a baking dish and decorate with blanched almonds cut in quarters, the point inserted in the apple; use enough to make it look very much like a small porcupine. Sprinkle the apples with powdered sugar and set in the oven to brown the tips of the nuts. Serve hot or cold with whipped cream and sugar. Cider Jelly.—Take two and one-half tablespoonfuls of gelatin, add one-fourth of a cupful of cold water and let stand to soften. Pour one cupful of boiling hot cider over the gelatin and stir until dissolved, then add sugar to taste and pour into a mold. Serve plain or with whipped cream. Think not so much of what thou hast not as of what thou hast; but of the things which thou hast, select the best and then reflect how eagerly they would have been sought if thou hadst them not. Salads are valuable because they are pleasing to the palate, and because they furnish mineral matter to the body in larger quantities than in almost any other form. Another reason for the popularity of the salad, from the housewife's standpoint, is that they give opportunity to exercise ingenuity in utili- Salads are not modern dishes; the old Romans used endive covered with oil and strewn with minced onion, the whole covered with honey and vinegar. Leaves of mustard, cress, endive and lettuce are the common bases for most salads. When these greens are not obtainable, apples, oranges, grapefruit, peppers and tomatoes are used for receptacles, with a sprig of celery leaf or parsley for a bit of green. The thrifty housewife always keeps a jar of salad dressing of some kind on hand; it may be the nutty mayonnaise prepared from the best olive oil or the cheaper corn oil, or it may be a boiled dressing. With the salad dressing made and ready, a salad is but the work of a few moments. There are still masculine members of the family who refuse to eat green salads. If they could be persuaded to learn that such food is healthful, provides the necessary elements which keep the body in good working order, and that even to eat salad as a medicine they would soon learn to enjoy it; it would save many hours of suffering. When celery is called for, and not on hand, a bit of apple and cabbage, with celery salt, will do very well. A well-made salad will give tone and substance to an otherwise silm meal, and by combining in proper quantities, and tasting, and again tasting, a dish of distinction may be achieved. A can of choice salmon, with a half-cupful of coconut and a few spoonfuls of chopped pickle, is another quick-to-prepare salad. Serve it in lettuce with a bit of boiled dressing or mayonnaise. One of the quickest and also prettiest of salads is that of using canned pears. Lay a perfect half on a little lettuce, stick it full of blanched almonds cut in quarters lengthwise, and cover with mayonnaise. If no almonds are at hand, chop a few nuts and sprinkle lightly over the pears. ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION A Here are two of many animals that are due to arrive on Christmas morning. A black kitty that will stand any amount of hard usage is very easy to make, requiring only a pair of silk stocking tops that have survived the worn-out feet. Cut off the worn feet and trim out the ankles in a curved line to form the ears. Sew a seam along this line, turn right side out and stuff with cotton to form the body. Wind the remainder of the tops with small cord to form the tail and tie a gay bow of ribbon at the end. Two white bone buttons make the eyes and heavy silk floss the mouth and whiskers and Miss Kitty is dressed up with a bow at the neck. The elephant is made of gray duvetyn, plush or canton flannel and cut by a paper pattern. His eyes are shoe buttons, his tusks white cloth, Pretty Home Gifts NUMBERS Anyone who knows how to handle a paint brush and oil colors or understands the new art of painting with colored sealing wax can make the book for telephone numbers pictured here. It is merely a piece of black oilcloth folded over leaves of white paper. Small holes punched through at each end allow a black silk cord to bind the book and provide for hanging it up at the same time. A powder box and a rouge box shown below it are covered with black lacquer and decorated with colored sealing wax that simulates ribbon and flowers. Gay Skipping Ropes Jump Rope A skipping rope is a joy to the sturdy little out-door girl, especially when it has Nannette and Rintintin for handles. They are painted a deep pink with faces, hair, neckties and buttons of black paint. By substituting clothespins for these handles and tacking the rope to them it is easy to make this treasure of childhood at home. Handy Gifts for Men Every man, young or old, will appreciate a good-looking rack to place within easy reach of his dressing case. The tie rack requires an oblong or oval board, smoothly covered with cretonne and a small nickel towel rack, which is screwed to the front of it. It is suspended by a silk cord fastened at the back with screw eyes. Lamb chops with a little extra work may make a dish unusual and especially appetizing.

STORING SYSTEM WILL SAVE TIME STORING SYSTEM WILL SAVE TIME Have Individual Box or Drawer to Receive Each Person's Different Articles. GARMENTS SHOULD BE MENDED Department of Agriculture Suggests Inventory of Clothing Stored Away to Save Time in Locating Wearables. (Prepared by the United States Department (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Mother! I want my winter flannels. Where do you keep them? The insistent demand may be heard when the frosty mornings begin to be really nipping. And "mother" is called from the kitchen, or from bed, perhaps, to go suddenly up to a chilly attic and hunt through a collection of boxes and trunks, from the camphorous depths of which she will finally sort out enough underwear to clothes the family for the day. She always meant to get all the flannels in one place, but somehow it was never done. If system was not followed in putting away last winter's clothes, it will soon become evident, when they are suddenly wanted, that much time could have been saved in the busy fall season by careful arrangement in the spring. As the thin summer wear retires and the heavier clothes ap- A woman sewing a dress. Mending and Labeling Each Person's Clothes as They Are Put Away. Mending and Labeling Each Person's Clothes as They Are Put Away. pear, it is worth while to follow a systematic plan in disposing of it now. Everything should be darned and mended, and all buttons put on when the garments are stored this fall. An inventory of the garments stored away is suggested by the United States Department of Agriculture—that is to say, information as to what and whose articles are stored, the condition of each, and an estimate as to what further use may be made of the article. Time is saved by collecting all the wearable garments for each person in separate boxes, plainly labeled as "Mary's summer dresses, good condition"; "Father's thin underwear, won't last all season"; "John's blouses, too small, use for William." Should Johnny need one of those summer blouses by any chance during "Indian summer," it will not be necessary to go through half a dozen boxes and trunks to find it. Moreover, Johnny, rather than mother, can make the trip to the attic to find the waist. One mother put her clothes away labeled in the spring and then went for a family visit which stretched out to unexpected length in the fall. She was able to ask a neighbor to mail warm clothes to her. The neighbor selected the boxes without disturbing anything else in the attic and malled them. One box should receive garments requiring alteration or those whose only use is for making over. A slip pinned to each, suggesting the use intended will save much wondering a few months later. It is easy to forget that the white linen will do for Mary if trimmed with the old blue parts of another dress; a brief note will prevent such accidents as letting the children have those old blue pieces for their dolls. If the individual boxes are used from year to year to put clothes away in, there may be kept in or near each one a small roll of mending pieces belonging to the person whose clothes are in the box. Millinery trimmings (feathers, ribbons, flowers, velvet pieces) should be stored, if in good condition, in a box by themselves, where they can be easily found if a hat must be unexpectedly freshened. Laces of different kinds can be wound on cards or otherwise put away, so that a glance will make the right piece accessible. Lining materials and old dress foundations which have further uses are best collected by themselves. Each housekeeper must needs evolve her own system, but if she aims to arrange the family clothing and materials in storage so that everything is readily found when wanted she serves the double purpose of saving much time and keeping the storage room in good order. STORAGE PLACES CAN BE MADE CONVENIENT STORAGE PLACES CAN BE MADE CONVENIENT Care in Placing Shelves and Closets Saves Steps. Keep Each Article Near the Place Where It Is Most Frequently Used —Corner Spaces May Be Utilized for Brooms. In planning the storage places in the kitchen and pantries the main factors to be considered are to keep each article near the place where it is most frequently used and to place the closets, shelves and drawers where they are easily accessible and easily kept clean, where they will not be in the way and where, when possible, they will utilize space otherwise wasted. To insure cleanliness, storage places should be made of good wood, free from holes, knots or other roughness likely to catch dirt and harbor insects. A further help in making shelves easy to clean is to leave a small space, say half an inch wide, between the back edge of the shelf and wall. Corner closets provide an excellent method of utilizing space which may otherwise be of little value. The triangular space is not very convenient for dishes, but serves well for a broom and cleaning closet. Narrow shelves sometimes economize space better than wide ones, for all the articles on them can be easily reached, whereas on the wide shelves either part of the shelf room is wasted or the things in front must be moved to get at those behind, United States Department of Agriculture specialists suggest. A shelf not more than four inches wide will conveniently hold spices, flavoring extracts, baking powder and materials of this kind. Fitting deep shelves with shallow boxes or "trays" (light wooden boxes with sides about four inches high and with a knob or handle on the front end so they can be conveniently moved) is often worth while. These shallow boxes can be filled with bottles, cans and other small articles neatly arranged. To take out the tray, select the article desired and replace the tray is much more convenient than moving a large number of things about on the shelf until one finds something which may be near the back. It also leaves the articles in much better order. Such a device as this has been tested and its usefulness proved. It can easily be made at home. BREAD AND MILK REFRESHES Nothing Better to Restore Tired Nerves and Muscles—Children Also Relish It. A good, old-fashioned bowl of bread and milk, says the dairy division of the United States Department of Agriculture, is the very best restorative at the end of a hard day's work. On a cold night the bread may be dropped in hot milk, enough to wet it thoroughly, with just a suspicion of salt for flavor. In England's camp climate bread and milk is the first thought after a long tramp or a day in the open. Almost every brain worker, whether student or professor, doctor, preacher, or business man, knows the refreshing tonic of a steaming bowl of bread and milk. Most children like it, and nothing could be better for them at bedtime or for lunch. WHEY HONEY AS SUBSTITUTE Most Delicious to Spread on Waffles or Pancakes—Sirup Will Keep Indefinitely. The first thought in the disposal of sour milk on hand is usually cottage cheese. The whey that remains after draining the cheese may be used in bread making, and as a drink for invalids. Whey honey, for which a recipe is given, is delicious to spread on waffles or pancakes, or as a pudding sauce. Mix whey, sirup and sugar and boil the mixture till it is of the consist-ency of strained honey. This sirup will keep indefinitely if properly bottled. All Around the House A nice way to serve creamed vegetables is in timbale cases. * * * A yeast cake will keep fresh quite a long time if buried in salt. * * * Delicious pineapple honey can be made with canned pineapple and is nice with toast. Before squeezing a lemon, heat it thoroughly. Nearly double the amount of juice will be obtained. Buttermilk makes a light spongy cake and sour milk always makes a softer, more moist-tasting one. A good stove duster can be made with an old mop stick cut to a handy length. Tie to it strips of old stockings. If the rooms become filled with cooking odors, a few drops of oil of lavender, placed in a cup of boiling water, will remove all traces. DR. CLARENCE P. HOLMES, JR.

The idea of pretty ornaments for the hair suggests Christmas gifts one can make which will be "different" from the usual pin cushions, tea aprons, vanity cases and powder puns. Take for instance the charming doral comb in the group above. It is suggested by the huge Spanish comb, now so popular among American women for evening wear. However, through substituting flowers for tortoise shell or jet a dainty youthful effect is secured, and yet the convenions of style are preserved. This clever affair can easily be made as follows: Take an ordinary side comb, with coarse teeth, or if obtainable, a back comb with long prongs. Cut a big fan or comb shape of rice net, wire it across the top and ends. Cover top and ends with a bit of silk. Then sew on this artificial flowers; these may be hand made from trifles of silk with chiffon. Sew this fanlike flower-covered shape across the top of comb by bringing stitches down Underwood Underwood Underwear & Underwear Fashion Trends to Velvet. between the teeth. When secure, line the back (the part next the hair) with silk. Golden grapes and cherries, as shown in the illustration, are made of bits of metal cloth stuffed with cotton, the leaves hand bronzed. Odd beads strung into bandeaux also answer to the call for fancy headdress. The little bed lamp shown is of shaded silk, the tiny canopy covering the bulb. The Winter way of Fashion trends through a veritable labyrinth of velvet. Wraps, street three-piece frocks, evening gowns and hats are of velvet, velvet, velvet! velvet dresses and belge, w embroidery, vet gown, be shown in the tight long ception adv leading Frens com Shoe Children s A foremost American designer, commenting recently upon the matter of fashion, declared that this season sees a return of the dignified style of the "grande dame." Perhaps that accounts for the preeminence of velvet for present-day apparel. It bespeaks the quality of stately elegance. However, that does not preclude its adaptability to youth, for it is impartial in its favor. Since to age it imparts flattering dignity and to youth winsome valvet, everybody is wearing velvet. Paris sponsors black velvet for street wear. Her style creators heighten its regal beauty with a master touch of gay embroidery or, perchance, a gold or silver girdle most often with the presence of handsome fur. Long straight coats of black velvet with accented low-waist effect, have abundant collars of black Persian lamb with broad fur outlining the huge flowing sleeve. The velvet three-piece suit is the goal of style ambition this season. It is an economical investment. It serves as a comely street costume, and with cont removed, is converted into a one-piece frock de luxe attuned to dressiest occasions. Our illustration shows a youthful three-piece suit of deepest rosewood velvet. The bodice part of of matched georgette embroidered all over with beads and metal threads. Chiffon velvet, supple and full of grace at every move, is chosen for the afternoon and reception gown. The latest fancy is for fur-colored chiffon J velvet dresses, say taupe, gray, sphinx and belge, with flashes of vivid Balkan embroidery. A delectable chiffon velvet gown, belge with gay stichery, is shown in the above illustration. Note the tight long sleeves; they are the exception advocated by several of the leading French designers.

The soles of children's shoes should have straight inside lines and should be everywhere as wide and long as the foot while standing.
