COLORED WOMAN HEIRESS T Courts of Louisiana Favora Turner to Valuable Lara eries After I WEALTH IS ALM Her Possessions Are Estima Which Will Make H Women in HOMER, La., Feb. 10.—Twenty- pine million dollars in accrued assets, numerous oil wells and a big oil refinery in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, have all been found by the Louisiana Supreme Court to be the property of Miss Lillian Turner, colored, as sole heiress of her mother, Mrs. Lona McGhee. Through the decision of the State Supreme Court last fall Miss Turner was awarded a rehearing in the case after an injunction which prevented her from obtaining title to her inheritance at the time. Formerly, April 11, the Third District Court of Claiborne Parish awarded the lands and property to the colored heiress, the state of Louisiana contesting the decision and obtaining a rehearing on the whole case on the grounds of a contention that Miss Turner was an illegitimate child of her mother, Mrs. McGhee. Another contestant, Mrs. Angelina Allen, mother of Mrs. McGhee and grandmother of Miss Turner, began a contest of the claims of her granddaughter when oil was discovered on the otherwise worthless property, but was defeated in both the lower and higher courts. The final big battle in the case came up in the courts at this place on January 17. There were many witnesses on both sides, and every effort was made by several white persons with the assistance of suborned Negroes to wrest the colored woman's enormous holding from her. The excellence of the case and the strength of the claim which was made by the rightful heiress, though, were of a nature to bring to her aid some of the best legal talent of this section of the country, with the rare result that Miss Turner received an absolutely fair decision and came into full and absolute possession of what is possibly one of the largest fortunes in the United States owned by a woman. The land upon which oil was found and which is finally the sole property of Lillian Turner, was originally a part of the wormout Louisiana bottom land, practically worthless for farming purposes and only useful as a place of residence for a few poor people. At no time until finally its value went up by leaps and bounds with the coming in of the first big gusher, was the land worth at the outside of more than $5,000. No interest was taken in it nor its owners. The poverty-stricken Angelina Allen, Lorna McGhee and Lillie Turner, grandmother, mother and daughter, were of no consequence apparently, to themselves, their neighbors nor the community. No thought was ever taken of any of the parties to the case. Like many other farms in the district, the Turner farm was in the oil belt.

Once it was established, though, that the oil upon the place was real oil and that the money to be made from it was real money, some of the best legal talent of this section became the ardent solicitors for the favors of the despised three colored women. No case in the history of Louisiana has ever attracted more widespread interest, and at this time no woman in the state is more cordially received nor more warmly thought of than Lillian Turner, with her $29,000,000 golden halo. Two Million Negro Women at Work Struggling against lack of training and against efficiency, restricted in opportunities to get and hold jobs, more than two million Negro women and girls are today laboring in domestic service, in agriculture and in manufacturing pursuits with the hope of an economic independence that will some day enable them to take their places in the ranks with other working women. During the past twelve months some decided changes affecting Negro women have taken place in domestic and personal service. For instance, in Detroit, Mich., today from 80 to 90 percent of the calls for domestic workers are for white girls. The average wage in that city for general houseworkers is from $8 to $12 a week, as against $15 to $20 a year ago. Women working by the day receive from 40 cents to 50 cents an hour as against 60 cents to 70 cents one year ago. The calls for office, elevator and stock girls are no longer for Negro girls. There are still some thousands of Negro women in the cigar and tobacco factories of the country. They are poorly paid, of course, their wages ranging from $6 to $10 for a sixty-hour week. In many sections almost the only recreational or social contacts enjoyed by such women come through the monthly church meeting, the occasional burial of a friend or the annual trip to town at cotton-seed time. Better prepared ministers, more missionary school teachers and welfare workers and many district nurses would make the life of the average agricultural woman worker more endurable. —Elizabeth Ross Haynes in the Southern Workman. --- Col. Charles Young An Appreciation The recent passing of Col. Charles Young with all that it involved of ideal devotion, sacrificial service and unequaled immolation of self on the altar of a nation's prejudice, is the tragic indictment for which the American conscience will one day blush while pleading "Guilty." The career of Colonel Young is unapproached for its remarkable courage, its spiritual exaltation and its almost superhuman poise, a poise which even the vicious, shameless onslaughts of a relentless hate were impotent to disturb. That he achieved so much that he was enabled to shape a course through the seething maelstrom of persecution and proscription encountered at the War College of the nation, and emerge therefrom with honor and distinction, is an achievement without its parallel in the annals of any race or any age. Appreciating the torture of mind and the constant pricking of prideful sensibilities, to which the aspiring Negro is subjected, we may faintly glimpse the cross he bore and upon which his soaring spirit was crucified day by day as one against a thousand he for five long years breathed an atmosphere of scorn and insult and petty meannesses. In the light of this wonderful life, its denial of higher service, honors and its loyal and sacrificial cleaving to duty, even unto death, can we for a moment doubt the nature and careful purpose of an All-wise Creator? May we not interpret this glorious life as one of His means of establishing and emphasizing the equality of race and the democracy of intellect, of virtue and of God-like manliness? Is it too much to hope that the night of proscription for Negro Americans may indeed be far spent and that the dawn of a day of freedom, full and real, may be fast approaching. Surely we must believe this, and believing, must be content to pray for patience to labor and to wait. How replete with suffering and achievement lies our Negro world from Crispus Attucks to Charles Young! Truly they are the Alpha and Omega, symbolizing the devotion, heroism and sacrifice of Negroes during all the years between. One no less than the other gave his life for flag and country. One no less than the other becomes an immortal star whose radiant splendor no clouds of scorn or prejudice may obscure, but shining on eternal and undimmed, inspires the hearts of our Negro youth to do and dare without reserve for God, for manhood and their race. Chicago, Feb. 1.—When informed a few nights ago that New York promoters were bidding on a match between Dempsey and Wills, Kid Howard, manager of Bill Tate, colored heavyweight champion, spotted right out loud: "Bill Tate is colored heavyweight champion of the world by virtue of a win over Wills in Portland, Ore., recently," the Kid said, "and should have first consideration for the championship. Tate can whip Wills any time they step into the ring, and, regardless of my man's connection with the Dempsey camp on various occasions, he would give a tiptot account of himself with the champion." DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18 1922 By Jonathan Cover. TATE'S MANAGER SPEAKS. Memorial on Anti Lynch Bill to Go To U. S. Senate Memorial on Anti Lynch Bill to Go To U. S. Senate The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today announced that a mass meeting would be held in the town hall on Wednesday evening, March 1, at which Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri would speak. Mr. Dyer sponsored the Dyer anti-lynching bill which was passed on January 26 by a vote of 230 to 119 in the House of Representatives. At the mass meeting a memorial will be adopted and sent to the United States Senate urging immediate passage of the Dyer bill, which is now in the hands of the Senate committee on the judiciary. The Dyer bill defines a mob as three or more persons acting in concert to deprive any person of his life without authority of law, as punishment for some crime or to prevent commission of a supposed or actual public offense. It fines the county in which a lynching takes place $10,000 and makes participants in lynching liable to trial for felony. Black Democrat Gets Big Job New York City.—Ferdinand Q. Morton, Esq., local Afro-American Democratic leader, was recently appointed a member of the Civil Service Commission of New York by Mayor Hylan, Democrat, in recognition of the big Afro-American vote which helped reelect the Tammany candidate last fall, under Morton's leadership. It is the best possible kind of an appointment for the benefit of the race, and the biggest we have ever received from a New York mayor. Salary, $11,000 a year. Morton was born in Mississippi, reared in Washington, educated at Harvard College and graduated from Boston University Law School—a product of mixed schools. He started at the bottom here, rose rapidly in politics and held many offices. James McClendon, a member of the race, succeeds him as assistant district attorney: salary $5,000 a year. So much for New York City DEMOCRATS. Dempsey-Wills Bout Is Being Considered Dempsey-Wills Bout Is Being Considered New York, Jan. 28.—William A. Brady, theatrical producer and sports promoter today placed $50,000 in a bank here as a forfeit and guarantee of his good faith in seeking to arrange a match between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills, colored heavyweight. Mr. Brady said that if he could bring Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager to believe in the success of such a bout he would immediately post an additional $150,000. Dempsey's share of the purse would be $150,000 and Wills' $50,000. Conditions of the bout would be the same as those under which the Carpentier-Dempsey affair of last summer was held. Kearns said he was considering the offer. Few Negroes Found in Navy Washington, D. C.—Figures given out by the U. S. navy here show a strength of 119,205 sailors.

BOULDER, COLO., NEWS. Well, we are having the blessed sunshine right along although it is and has been rather nippy cold, yet is pretty for this time of the year. Oh, yes, before we forget, we must mention Mrs. Reona Allen, who resides at 2002 Goss, was at the sumptuous repast that Mr. and Mrs. White spread for the members of the Cedar Art Club in December. We thought we had mentioned her name but it seems we omitted it. Mrs. Allen, we beg your pardon. Next? We are still pegging away at the same old things. We have some excitement every once in a while, but please don't mention it. All right. Well, we have not heard any more about the wedding bells. We have been listening but they seem to have decided not to ring for a while yet. The N. A. A. C. P. held their installations Feb. 9. After the ceremony refreshments were served. Every one had a very nice time. We were expecting a speaker from Denver in the person of Hon. Geo. W. Gross, but he could not get here. The crowd was disappointed in not being able to hear him. We hope in the near future to be able to have the pleasure of listening to this gentleman. We wish the Boulder branch every success in the coming year both in membership and financially. Our sick list is still diminishing for which we are thankful. The Sunday School of Allen Chapel is still growing. The Sunday School is surely alive. Mrs. White, as superintendent, is proud of her school. Mrs. Georgia Morrison, the teacher of the "Sunbeam Class," is planning on leaving Boulder soon for California. The Literary and Debating Club hold their first debate Friday of this week, Feb. 17. We will tell you which side wins. Our prayers are still being blessed of the Lord.

They also requested that some of the ladies meet on the 3rd of March and sing; also take part in the devotional services. Mrs. Goodall ordered fifty missionary leaflets to be divided with the Baptist Church. NO 19 A Birthday Party It does not often happen that an institution has the opportunity to celebrate the eighty-fifth birthday of a member of its staff just entering upon fifty-fifth year of active service. Such was the privilege of Hampton Institute when, on December 14, it celebrated, through the Armstrong League of Hampton Workers, the eighty-fifth birthday of Mr. Albert Howe, its superintendent of Roads and Grounds, associated with General Armstrong from the time when ground was broken for the first school buildings. The party was held in the Museum and was attended by a very large representation of Mr. Howe's friends, old and young. It was a very happy occasion and gave opportunity for interesting reminiscences of her childhood days by Mrs. Edith Armstrong Talbot; of his lifelong association with Mr. Howe by Mr. George Davis, Class of 74, now a rural community worker after more than forty years' service or: the school staff; and of the estimation in which Mr. Howe has always been held by his father and the townspeople generally, by Mr. Frank W. Darling. A chorus of graduates added greatly to the pleasure of the occasion by singing, "I'm a Jonah Man," "Castle on the River Nile," "Adam Didn't have No Mammy," and other songs of a similar character. The huge birthday cake was wheeled in on a tea carriage by three tiny children and presented to Mr. Howe after he had been decorated with several lais, after the Hawaiian fashion. The singing of "Auld Lang Syne" was followed by an hour of social intercourse and congratulation. The party was directed, in her usual gracious and happy manner, by Mrs. Scoville, who, as Mrs. Purves is unable to serve this year as president of the League, has consented to continue in office. A GOVERNMENT TRIBUTE. A certificate, signed by the Assistant Secretary of War and the Adjutant General has recently been received by Hampton Institute "for its efficient and loyal service in connection with the World War through the establishment and operation of a unit of the students' army training corps." During the war three detachments, including more than 1,000 soldiers, were trained at the school in vocations considered essential in the winning of the war. Hampton now has a junior unit of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps and there are thirty soldiers at the school receiving rehabilitation training.—Southern Workman.

Rafael Martinez Alonso, member of the House of Representatives and Liberal candidate for mayor of Havana, was found dead in his room at the Hotel Luz with three bullet wounds in his body. London's women police are "not a necessity and are too costly to maintain as a luxury," Sir William Horwood, commissioner of the metropolitan police, has found, and as a result the women's patrols will be disbanded at the earliest possible moment. Henri Landru's final hope of escaping the guillotine, to which he was condemned on Nov. 30, in Paris, for the murder of ten fiancés and a boy, persisted when the chief justice of the Supreme Court of Appeals threw out the French Bluebeard's request for a new trial. Transfer on Feb. 28 of ownership of the Figaro, an influential morning newspaper of Paris, to M. Coty, a perfume manufacturer, and a group of associates, is announced.

Calmett, secretary of the corporation, for bidding all editorial discussion in the newspaper until they take possession. The All-Russian central committee at Moscow has decided to take over immediately the valuables in all the churches and sell them for the benefit of the famine sufferers. The value of the silver and gold candlesticks, the gold-covered and bejeweled ikons, the chalices and salvers involved is variously estimated, but in the weight of the precious metals and jewels alone is reported to total hundreds of millions of dollars. Finding the streets of Buenos Aires too well policed for holdups, a pair of robbers recently used police headquarters for one of their operations. Approaching a gentleman of prosperous appearance, they showed him detectives badges and announced that he must accompany them to headquarters and there explain how he came by the valuables he carried. The man accompanied them. Police headquarters has several unused rooms. Into one of the pair introduced the "malefactor" and took from him everything of value.

Monte Vista.-The sixth annual H. O. G. stock show, in charge of Manager A. H. Webster and a corps of assistants, has closed. This year's show brought larger crowds and more exhibits than previous years. All of the San Luis valley and the surrounding territory were represented in the exhibits. Large tents were erected for the housing of the stock and the other articles shown, and these were hardly adequate for the demands made upon them. Pueblo.—Frank Jaeger, 18, is in St. Mary's hospital, where an operation was performed in an attempt to save his life. The lad was shot accidentally through the right lung by a rancher named Hegler when Jaeger and three other lads had stopped there on a hunting trip.

Monte Vista.—Scarcely had the live stock and poultry show of the High Order of Grunts ended before the citizens of Monte Vista took up the "Stampede," the annual frontier day show that is to be "pulled off" in the fair grounds next summer. The statement is made that the show this year will eclipse that of last, which will be going some. The Monte Vista Hog Growers' Association also is interested with the Grunts in the forthcoming "Stampede," and there is every indication that their promises of a wild and woolly time will be made good. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS. Denver.—Featured by actual manufacture of Colorado products before the very eyes of all who come to see, the Colorado Industrial Exposition and Prosperity Carnival will open at the municipal Auditorium Feb. 20 for the annual five days' show of Colorado industrial exhibits.

Exhibitors from the four corners of the state have reserved space in the Auditorium booths already under construction. Not all of the exhibits will be Denver ones, by any means, and other points in the state will be fully represented in all lines of industry. Monte Vista.—More than 600 men and women sat down at the ninth annual banquet of the Monte Vista Hog Growers' Association in the assembly room of the state armory, breaking all previous records of attendance at banquets in the San Luis valley.

Hilts, the third member of the commission, did not concur in the award. Pueblo.—What is believed by police to be an organized gang of holdup men and store robbers has been broken up by the arrest of four men here.

Cash, money orders, stamps and merchandise were taken from the safe. In the second snift-cracking job the entire payroll of the Avondale Alfalfa Milling Company, amounting to several thousand dollars, was taken. Pueblo.—Policeman R. Fouch of the Pueblo police department has been taken back to the county jail following the verdict of the coroner's jury which probed the killing by the officer of Mike Livecchi, pool hall owner. The jury's verdict was that Fouch was not justified in the act. Charges will be filed by the district attorney. Denver.—According to word received from Washington, a bill introduced in Congress through the Department of the Interior provides for the appropriation of $714,000 for the Uncompaghre and Grand Valley irrigation projects, on the Colorado western slope and for the Rocky Mountain park system. Golden.—Work has been started on the construction of an indoor tennis court on the drill floor of the state armory recently acquired by the State School of Mines. This will be the first covered court to be constructed in this state and serves as an indication of the increased popularity of the sport among the student body of the state institution. Other schools will no doubt follow the lead of the Mines, and all-year tennis will be common. Denver.—Governor Shoup has resigned as one of the vice presidents of the "American Committee for Russian Famine Relief," following report from Secretary of Commerce Hoover that the committee is an organization of alleged red agents, who propose to collect funds for the soviet government from the American people, according to announcement here. Denver.—Fat cattle and sheep from the feed lots of northern Colorado destined for sale on the markets of Chicago and Omaha have begun to pass through Denver in large shipments, according to officials of the Union Pacific railroad, who declare that the total shipments from this state within the immediate future will aggregate 5,000 cars. Denver.—Strong opposition was expressed by members of the Colorado Mountain Club concerning a change registered on the 1921 edition of the United States Geological Survey map of the Leadville, Colo., quadrangle, in which the name "Gannett Peak" designates the highest point of Mount Massive, while the lower parts of the mountain retain the historical name. According to officers of the society, a previous attempt to effect this change was frustrated through the club in conjunction with the Colorado Geographic board JOE W SHO Mining E 1016-1018 Kneeland Shoes "They Tickle the Feet" Mining Exchange Building 1016-1018 Fifteenth Street Phone Champa 2380 Denver Phone Main 4843 J.

Washington's Farewell Address TOMB OF WASHINGTON, AMERICA'S NATIONAL SHRINE NEW YEAR LEVEE President Washington's Reception at the White House. Friendly Greetings of Citizens, It Is Recorded, Greatly Pleased the First Chief Executive. "In the Republican Court," a volume published in 1854 by D. Appleton & Company dealing with the administration of Washington, appears the following interesting description of New Year's activities of 1790, and particularly the manner of observing New Year's at the White House, where Martha Washington, the ever-considerate spouse, dismissed her guests at 9 o'clock in order that her "generals" slumber might not be interfered with. The winter of 1789-90 was warmer than any which the oldest inhabitants could remember. In the last week of December and the first of January gardeners and farmers on the island of Manhattan were plowing, and women appeared in the streets of the city in their summer dresses. The pleasant custom of making New Year's calls had long obtained in most of the countries of continental Europe, and it was brought to New York by both the Dutch and the Huguenots, who had preserved it as one of their peculiar institutions, which never could be naturalized in towns of a more purely English origin and population. On Friday, the first of January, 1790, we are informed by the late venerable John Pintard, who was then a young man of fashion, and a close observer, the President was waited upon by the principal gentlemen of the metropolis. The day was uncommonly mild and agreeable, even for that year of perpetual verdure, and the great festival of friendship was never kept more universally or with a livelier gratification. The visitors of the President, after an interchange of the usual salutations of the day, withdrew, delighted at his gracious manner. Washington's Stately Bearing. It is not known, though Mr. Pintard assures us that a majority of them were personally unacquainted with him, that there were any to complain of such a stately bearing as about this time.alarmed a sagacious colonel from Virginia for the safety of the republic. This colonel had traveled, and after attending one of the receptions of the President he declared, at the table of Gov. Beverly Randolph, in Richmond, that "his bows were more distant and stiff" than any he had at St. James's. A correspondent informed Washington of the fearful apprehensions thus awakened, and he replied, "That I have not been able to make bows to the taste of poor Colonel Blank, who, by the way, I believe, never saw but one of them, is to be regretted; especially as, upon that occasion, they were indiscriminately bestowed and the best I was master of. Would it not have been better to throw the vell of charity over them, ascribing their stiffness to the effects of age, or to the unskillfulness of my teacher, Mary Catherine Martha Washington as She Appeared in 1790. (From an Old Engraving.) rather than to pride and dignity of office?" Mrs. Washington's Levee. Mrs. Washington held her levee, as on other Friday evenings, but on no previous occasion had one been graced with so much respectability and elegance. The air was almost as gentle as it should be in May, and the full moon shone so brightly that the streets to a late hour were filled with a delicious twilight. It was not the custom for visitors of the President to sit, but it appears from Mr. Plintard's diary that, on this night, at least, there were chairs in the rooms where Mrs. Washington saw her guests, for "after they were seated," tea and coffee, and plum and plain cake, were dispensed by the attending servants. She remarked, while speaking of the day's occurrences, that none of them had so pleased the general (by which title she always designated her husband) as the friendly greetings of the gentlemen who called upon him at noon. To an inquiry by the President whether such observances were casual or customary, it was answered that New Year's visiting had always been maintained in the city. He paused a moment, and then observed: "The highly favored situation of New York will, in the process of years, attract numerous emigrants, who will gradually change its ancient customs and manners; but, whatever changes take place, never forget the cordial and cheerful observance of New Year's day." Mrs. Washington had stood by his side as the visitors arrived and were presented, and when the clock in the hall was heard striking 9, she advanced, and with a complacent smile said. "The general always retires at 9, and I usually precede him;" upon which all arose, made their parting salutations, and withdrew. TREASURE COMMON TO ALL Fame and Character of Washington Honored in All the Countries of the Earth. Webster, this nation's greatest orator, said: "Ispiring auspices, this day, surround us and cheer us. It is the anniversary of the birth of Washington. We should know this, even if we had lost our calendars, for we should be reminded of it by the shouts of joy and gladness. The whole atmosphere is redolent of his name; hills and forests, rocks and rivers, echo and reecho his praises. "All the good, whether learned or unlearned, high or low, rich or poor, feel, this day, that there is one treasure common to them all, and that is the fame and character of Washington. They recount his deeds, ponder over his principles and teachings, and resolve to be more and more guided by them in the future." THE DENVER DRY GOODS CO.

THESE are precarious days for Negro leaders, and reputations long in the making are toppled over and destroyed in a day. A few nights ago a Negro Socialist addressing a very large audience in one of our popular churches literally wiped the ground with some of our hitherto most idolized leaders, Booker T. Washington included, in a most amazing manner. And more than that, he assailed the common beliefs held so sacredly by most of us as to the earnest leadership of Abraham Lincoln. The martyred McKinley was held up as insincere, Taft as a weakling and Roosevelt as a despot. Now comes brickbats hurting through the air aimed at the crown of leadership so long worn by the scholarly Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University. He is being bitterly assailed as fostering the idea of segregation and of favoring "Jim Crow" schools in the North. This is a serious indictment, and the COLORADO STATESMAN is willing to abide Professor Miller's explanation before joining in the hue and cry against him. Professor Kelly Miller is an admittedly able man, a scholar par excellence and a refined, cultured gentleman. He has been a recognized spokesman along the lines of finer ideals for the Negro, and for years we have awaited the Kelly Miller pronouncement on grave racial questions before making up our final judgment. For this reason we trust he will be able to satisfactorily explain more clearly his mearning in the recent article that has created such a furore. Our leaders at best have a hard time of it. The radicals are seldom radical enough to suit the radically minded. The conservatives are too conservative for those they would lead. And it is just as difficult to find safe footing on middle ground. However, it is safe to say that any attempt to promote the idea of separate schools for the races in the North is going to meet with a sharp and justly deserved rebuke. This is the charge laid at the door of Professor Miller. We hope the charge has no foundation in fact. ABRAHAM LINCOLN—FREDERICK DOUGLASS THE third annual Lincoln-Douglass memorial celebration and banquet given by the Denver Colored Civic Association on Tuesday night last was far more than a gold-tinseled affair of gorgeous dress, beauteous flowers, entrancing music and dainty food. It sealed heights above and beyond the mere routine of speech-making and happy felicitations. By this we do not mean that it was not a great banquet as such affairs go, but it was all of that and more. Never was there a gathering of more strikingly gowned ladies nor of carefully groomed gentlemen. Never did speakers appear to a better advantage nor present a cause more eloquently than did those who graced the program on Tuesday night. But this third annual memorial celebration was the very highest expression of the permanency of the DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION and a definite affirmation of its true standing as an affiliated body of the Denver Civic and Commercial Association. Captain Thomas Campbell, who has served as president of the association since its birth, has given evidence of a broadening vision and greater capacity of leadership with each succeeding year of its growth and power. He is intensely in earnest, and let no one feel that the DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION will not be a recognized power in the near future. Of Tuesday night's brilliant affair, the COLORADO STATESMAN feels that it would be derelict in duty did it not make mention of some of the special features and high lights of this great banquet. In the first place, Attorney E. P. Blakemore as toastmaster has placed his talents and abilities before the citizens of Denver in a new light. His opening address was a gem in thought and arrangement. His crisp witticisms and happy introductions of the various speakers kept the guests in a continuous uprour of laughter. The subject of "Abraham Lincoln" was handled in a most able manner by Attorney S. E. Cary. A beautiful story was weaved by the eloquent speaker of how Lincoln, a modest, rugged youth from the wilds of the Kentucky frontier was called upon by the great Master of all destinies to carry out the plan of saving this Union. Denver people have learned to look for much whenever Mr. Cary speaks, and he ably fulfilled all expectations on this occasion. "The Ideals of Douglass in the Life of Today" was the theme chosen by George W. Gross, and the message he delivered was indeed a thrilling one. He graphically pictured the beauty of the Douglass ideals and what their embodiment by the present generation meant for our future. He implored the DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION to persevere in its present good work and look into the warm glow of the Douglass ideals and into the furnace of his dreams for inspiration. Back of all of this, as a popular setting to most realistic panorama of yesterday and today, stands the "Old Sentinel," the sage of them all—Titus S. Rector, whose devotion to the association, and whose measured tread has marked its every advance, forms the most beautiful chapter in its entire history. There can be nothing more elevating, nor can there be a greater surety of unimpeded progress than close comradeship with the highest and best of mankind. In this the DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION has paved the way. It does not stand back of, but side by side with the most powerful organization in the West—the Denver Civic and Commercial Association. Denver Negroes need the influence of this great organization and can have it by making a strong organization of their own. The Lincoln-Douglass banquet, brilliant and inspirational, will have served its purpose well if only the enthusiasm displayed there can be carried to the hearts of a major portion of our citizens. The columns of the COLORADO STATESMAN have been open to the activities of the COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION from its inception, and will continue so as long as it gives promise of illimitable possibilities. BRYAN'S QUALIFICATIONS. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, three times candidate on the Democratic ticket for the presidency and each succeeding time bringing up the loser's end, has again heard the buzzing of the political bee and announces his candidacy for the U. S. Senate from the state of Florida. Mr. Bryan, long known as the "boy orator of the Platte," was for years a citizen of Nebraska, and between the time of nominations and defeats was a chauntque lecturer of no small caliber. But for reasons best known to a politician who is obsessed of an eternal itching for office, with no chance of gaining it, in a state as hostile to his political beliefs as Nebraska proved to be (Mr. Bryan being unable to carry his own precinct), moved to a state solidly Democratic, where a nomination is equal to an election. But even in Florida, rock-ribbed with Democracy and grandfather clauses as it is, to say nothing of a shotgun policy or two, a man must have "qualifications." The moss-backs of southern states always look askance at newcomers, especially when a political office is the prize sought, and so they proceeded to look this Democratic carpet-bagger over in order to make certain that he had "the goods." Mr. Bryan at once qualified. For years he sported the cognomen of the "Commoner," so what could be commoner in Florida or any other southern state than to open a campaign by berating the Negro$^9$ Bryan was quick to grasp this, and the Dyer anti-lynching bill was the needed vehicle. So he fairly froths at the mouth at the prospect of a Republican Congress daring to presume so far as to pass a law aimed for right-thinking American citizens to seek to install the majesty of the law where mob violence could be so easily invoked. Mr. Bryan is no fool, popular opinion to the contrary notwithstanding. He has always been a political opportunist and can arrange his sails to the accommodation of every political breeze more dexterously than any man in public life today. He is not so simple as to seek to win a senatorial toga by resurrection of the old cry, "Let the people rule," or by assailing "tainted money," or by abusing the "predatory interests," or by the meaningless slogan of "imperialism." No, sir, Bryan is out for that Democratic nomination, and he realizes that his only chance is to out-traumel Trammel, the present U. S. senator from Flor- ida. He has reasoned well and it looks as though his qualifications will be pronounced complete before he gets through. If mean, bitter invectives against the Negro shall be required as an assurance of good faith. Bryan has the ability to coin them. The electorate of the United States has long since stamped him as a demagogue, a braying jackass and shallow theorist, and nothing more will be needed to make him a senator fitting to represent the state of Florida. His crown of thorns and cross of gold may yet arise as a grim spectre of the night to reveal him in his truer self as the co-equal of Vardaman, John Sharp Williams and Heflin of Alabama. ABRAHAM LINCOLN THE beautiful Lincoln memorial arch whose massive columns are mirrored in the waters of the Potomac, and which will be dedicated on the 30th day of May next, is declared by experts to be the most magnificent shrine ever erected to the memory of man. It is well that it should be for this mighty republic that he saved from dismemberment stands as an overshadowing monument to his genius, his statesmanship and his courage. He rightly interpreted and defined Americanism with a clearness of vision that would put to shame many of our present-day statesmen. He did not seek to enmesh his country in the affairs of the world, knowing that to do so invited national disaster. Rather, he saw great, incomplete problems that this country should meet and solve in its own way "with malice toward none and charity for all." It is no disparagement of the truth to say that there are times when it seems that this country in its legislative deliberations has far departed from the Lincoln principles. Sectionalism still abounds with most annoying rancor. The bond of union between North and South is evidenced only in commercialism. As for other purposes the line of demarcation, specifically known as the Mason and Dixon line, gives no evidence of obliteration. The needed education of the masses, the political freedom of all citizens, the social uplift of humanity are problems still as festering and odious as in the days of the Great Emancipator. Christian philosophers are agreed that the world still needs the Christ. American statesmen and philosophers are still crying aloud for Lincoln. The nation has passed through many severe trials since the night of that awful tragedy in Ford's theater; it has drank deep of the wormwood and gall, it has passed through an unchartered Gethsamene, but another Lincoln has not been found. The Lincoln shoes are still unfilled, the Lincoln mind remains unparalleled, the Lincoln statesmanship goes unchallenged. We have a natural reverence for the giant figures of history, and on the other hand feel a natural aversion to the pigmy type, whether of men or animals. We wish we could command a larger respect for present-day Americanism, but we fear the possibility so long as human rights are held in abject subordination to the almighty dollar.

CHATMAN, PASTOR REV. R. P. TYLER, PRESIDING ELDER PLACE—OLD COLONY HALL, TWENTY- EIGHTH AND DOWNING STREETS By ROGER W. BABSON, American Statistician. The truth is that the schools are not educating our children at all today. Our children, our boys, are really being educated by the newspapers, the movies and the billboards. Now I am not blaming the newspapers or the movie people or the billboards. They are tending to their business, while we fathers are asleep at the switch. A. H. So we have got to educate our young men for business. Ninety-five per cent of the young men going out of the schools of Chicago go into industry or commerce, and yet 95 per cent of the instruction in the schools of Chicago is devoted to laying the foundation for the five per cent that go into professional and other lines of activity. Yes, this great clog in our distribution system, this condition in the world today which is ruining business men, which is putting farmers into bankruptcy, which is spreading havoc throughout our land, is due to the fact that our young people, our boys, especially, who are coming out of the school without the least idea of production, without the least idea of the fundamentals of production or distribution or the basis of business success. What would you do about it, you ask. Well, I have four suggestions to make. The first suggestion is to put religion back into the schools. I tell you that this idea that we can get on by kicking down the ladder by which our fathers and grandfathers climbed up won't work forever. Our ancestors did not come over to America with the idea of turning religion out of industry and education; no, they came here for the sole purpose of putting religion in. The second thing we have got to do in training our young men for business is to develop principles and ground them in principles and in facts. The third thing I should do in educating young for their life's work would be to teach them some of the basic laws of industry. The fourth thing I should do in training our young men for industry would be to encourage the people of Chicago who are now engaged in part-time work. I would encourage the correspondence schools in Chicago. I would encourage the night schools of Chicago. I want to train young men while they are at work. The Citizen Soldier and the Regular United States Army Officer By W. E. LARNED, Major Ordnance Department, U. S. A. It would be a matter of the keenest personal regret to those of us who are still in the service to feel that as West Pointers or non-West Pointers we represent an objectionable caste to the citizen soldiers of all ranks with whom we served during the trying days of the war and have reaped only their detestation. Many of us cherish feelings of the highest friendship, esteem, and appreciation of service for these men and had hoped that this feeling was mutual. Congress has transformed the first military policy this country has ever had into law. This policy recognizes one army of the United States made up of component units, and the greatest of these is the organized reserve, composed of the citizen soldier. We in the service are bending every effort to obliterate the old vicious jealousies that existed between the regular army and its citizen companions and to strive to form one army, the army of the United States. "Question Is Not Whether Gold Can Be Made From Base Metals, But—" By WILLIAM A. BALLENTINE, Metallurgist. There is nothing impossible in Thomas A. Edison's prediction that gold will yet be artificially made at a fraction of its present price. Gold has already been artificially made. Sir William Ramsey, a number of years ago, converted radium into gold. He made but a few grams of the yellow metal, but what he made was identical in every respect with gold as we know it in nature. But the gold that Sir William made cost about 20 times as much as the gold that comes from the ground. The question before us is not whether gold can be made from base metals, but whether it can be made for less than the cost of the gold that comes out of the ground. I agree with Mr. Edison that the discovery might be made any day. I would add, however, that it may never be made. Nothing, however, is more certain than that enormous discoveries in metallurgy are just ahead of us. The requirements of modern industrial life leave no doubt of this. Metallurgy has not kept pace with the development of other sciences because known forms of metals were sufficient for our needs. New forms of metals are now in demand, and in searching for them no one can tell what moment some one may stumble upon the way to make synthetic gold and make it cheaply. Girls Should Not Marry Until After Five Years of Business Life By PROF. R. L. POWERS, University of California. The time has gone by when men choose the baby-doll type of woman with nothing to offer but a pretty face. Women with brains that are cultivated by business finesse and acumen are appreciated by most of the men. Girls should not get married until they have had five years' experience in business life. A business adventure should be only a stepping stone to the altar. Marriage and home are the cardinal things in a woman's life. Business is secondary. They should retire from business at the time some worthy man comes along and asks them the all-important question. Women realize that their destiny is in the home, and a true woman is always ready to quit her office job for a life partnership that permits her to shine in her natural sphere. Twenty-four years is the ideal age for a girl to marry. A girl should get a good business education, have five years of business life and then she is prepared to accept the responsibilities that come with wifehood. ww Ls Rae ue mee Se amet pomp dee ee faerstas yal 2 oor Su x ee aN cs eS.

During the business session they passed some very important rules for the governing of the body, ‘The cold waye that came along dur- ing the early part of the week tended to dampen the ardor of the winter croquet fans, but only for a day or two.

Lincoln- Douglass Banquet by Denver Colored Civic Asso- ciation Surpasses All Former Affairs IVY ~ 2: ne Dever Civic and Gout mercial Association in the Chamber of Commerce building, on Tuesday night, the Denver Colored Civie Association gave a banquet and Lincoln-Douginss celebration that will live long as an enduring monument to re new life of the new Negro in Den- vat ' As an affiliated body of the Den- ver Civic and Commercial Association ‘and the only Negro body in America to hold such a distinetion, the ban- ‘queters, one hundred and fifty in all, felt easily at home amid the richly tapestried parlors and spactous loung- ing rooms during a period of social commingling that preceded the ban- quet. At precisely 8:15 the party ‘marched into the gorgeously decorated ‘dining room to the strains of a catchy mareh played by Mrs. Curtis M. Har- ris, The picture presented when the entire party was seated, was a highly inspiring one, for our ladies, hand- somely gowned and the men for most part in evening attire, lent a beauty of charm never to be forgotten. ‘The menu served was most palatable and the program rendered was of excep- tional high order. Mr. William Russ assumed the responsibility of making the dinner a success and he more than made good. Mr, ‘Thos. J. Bell, seere- tary of the Y. M. C. A., had charge of the singing and did his part well. It was during the rendition of the program, however, that the real ob jects of the association were brought out, Its plendid past accomplishments ‘and high aims for the future were im- ‘pressively set forth by the president, ‘Capt, Thos, Campbell, One of the im- perative needs of the Negroes of Den- ver today is a building constructed ‘along modern lines for our fraternal, ‘social and civic activities. Tt has’ been ‘a dream cherished by many of our race leaders for years. It may be safely said that as an outgrowth of the Den- ‘ver Colored Civie Association and the ‘dauntless courage of its president, that the dream of years Is now approach- ing realization. Capt. Campbell has shown himself a broad, unselfish lead- ‘er and the successful function of Tues- ‘day night was a fitting testimonial of his worth. Asa master of ceremonies, Attorney B. P. Blakemore proved him- self incomparable. He was in reality the life of the banquet and each of his introductions of the various speak- ers were punetuated with humorous references and comparisons — that brought down the house. ‘The COLO- KADO STATESMAN will cheerfully commend the services of Mr. Blake- more to any organization in need of a toastmaster, par excellence. Another’ one of our legal luminaries, Mr. S. E. Cary, delivered a strong address on Abraham Lincom, Mr. Cary is a flu- ent speaker and careful student, and his manner of presenting the life and work of the great emancipator aroused the audience to the highest point of enthusiasm, “The Ideals of Douglass in the Life of Today,” by Geo, W. Gross can only be deseribed as a mas- terful piece of oratory. Many present recalled his memorable address on Booker T. Washington at Shorter A, M. EF. church a number of years ago, but all agreed that he far surpassed. all his former efforts ‘Tuesday night. At the close of the regular program a number of short impromptu a dresses were given, the most notable being Mrs. Ida DePriest and Mrs, L. M. Froman, Mr. Oglesvie Lawson of- fered the following resolutions, which were adopted by unanimous voté: Whereas, Our coming together this evening around this festive board at this particular place is due to the generosity and large fraternal feeling of the Honorable I. I. Boak, president of the Denver Civic and Commercial Association; the Honorable Arthur J. Dodge, secretary and general manager | and the Honorable Board of Directors, | and, | Whereas, We appreciate and are heartily thankful to these gentlemen und the association that they repre- Sent, for the privilege that now Is ours; therefore, be it Resolved, that we rise ax a token of our appreciation of the kindness be- stowed, and be it further Resolved, that copies of this testl- monial be sent to the honorable gen- tlemen, a copy given to the press and a copy spread on our records, ‘'T.

Vegetable Dinner.—A good dinner is mashed potato, buttered onion, beets, spinach, carrots and lima beans well buttered. All served on the plate, one will never mind having no meat. The soft-ball stage of cooking is that commonly used for pan candies. Drop a bit in cold water, and if it can be gathered in the fingers into a soft ball it is ready to remove.

Nellie Maxwell JUAREZ PREPARES FOR REBEL ATTACK RUMORS OF REVOLUTIONARY FORCE NEAR EL PASO CAUSES ACTIVITY AT FT. BLISS. U. S. TROOPS ON GUARD FIRST CAVALRY DIVISION HELD IN READINESS FOR ALL EMERGENCIES. El Paso.—Fort Bliss has been mobilized, maintaining its "watchful waiting" policy, after reports of an expected attack on Juarez by rebel forces were received. Troops of the First cavalry division at Fort Bliss have been held in readiness for emergencies. Trucks were loaded with emergency supplies and a general air of expectancy hangs over the post. Soldiers laughingly declared some of them have spent the nights in their boots and spurs. Only a skeleton guard has been on duty at the garrison in the downtown district of Juarez, the remainder of the military force being kept on outpost duty and at the military fort a short distance from the city. That the northern military zone of Mexico is now quiet with no sign of revolutionary activity was the substance of a statement by Gen. Eugenio Martinez, zone commander, who arrived in Juarez from Chihuahua recently. "The border posts will not be strengthened," said General Martinez, "as the present force has demonstrated its ability to cope with the situation. The revolutionary flurry has passed. Leaders of the revolt have been captured and two of the principals, Gen. Arturo Ruiz and Capt. J. L. Perez, have been executed. "These men went to Francisco Villa, on his ranch at Canutillo. Villa took them he would remain loyal to the government. They were arrested at Chihuahua and escaped only to be recaptured at a station 40 kilometers south of Chihuahua. They were executed by a firing squad at 6 o'clock several days ago." General Martinez admitted that Rosalio Hernandez, former chief of staff of Villa, had revolted at Santa Rosalia and taken the field with twenty-five men. This force, the general said, accompanied only by a handful of men, is now on the Coahulla border where his capture is momentarily expected. Declaring that rebel activities in Mexico have been inspired by American interests, Gen. Elias Calles, minister of state in President Obregon's cabinet, is quoted in a dispatch received in San Antonio recently by La Prensa, Spanish language newspaper, as saying that immediate executions of rebels are necessary for the safety of the Mexican government. Those who have been put to death, General Calles is quoted as saying, have been the instruments of American enemies of Mexico, and the Mexican government is in possession of proofs of this connection. Mine Workers Plan Strike. Indianapolis, Ind.—A wage policy of accepting no reduction of wages for soft coal miners and demanding increases for anthracite workers, backed up by a threat of a nation-wide strike on April 1, will be adopted by the United Mine Workers of America convention, now in session here, by an almost unanimous vote of the delegates, according to a statement issued by President John L. Lewis. Police Seek Noted Faker. New York.—Calling him the world's champion impersonator of interesting people, the New York police have joined in the Department of Justice search in Washington for Stephen Weinberg, whose list of distinguished dupes include President Harding, Princess Fatima, Dr. Adolf Lorenz, Mayor Hylan and Harold McCormick. In the national capital the versatile young imposter is wanted for accepting White House hospitality in the guise of "Commander Stanley Wyman, U. S. N., official escort to the Princess Fatima." Sunday Schools Combine in Chicago. Chicago.—The Sunday School Council of evangelical denominations, representing the religious education interests of more than thirty Protestant denominations, and the International Sunday School Association, representing every state in the United States and nine provinces of Canada, have unanimously voted to merge their forces into one new organization to be known as the International Council of Religious Education. Pin Is Removed From Girls Lung. Philadelphia.—Louise E. Hofferr stein, who was brought from Wichita, Kansas, to have a pin removed from her left lung, will return home a happy girl. At Jefferson hospital the skill of a physician and the efficiency of one of the latest devices of science removed the pin which was traveling toward the 10-year-old girl's heart. A broncoscope was inserted through the mouth and forceps lowered through the tube brought out the pin. The lung was not injured, doctors said.

VEGETABLES Young and Old Need Plenty of Vegetables in Diet. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) whole-grain cereal foods Too much attention has been paid in the past to the "don'ts" of cookery and the diet. This, that, or the other food has been considered unwholesome. People were told that they ate too much meat, or too many fried foods or sweets, or that white bread was necessarily unwholesome, but nowadays it is known that none of the common food materials properly used is in itself harmful for the normal person. The only exceptions are the extremely small number of people said by physicians to have "idiosyncrasies," who must be particularly careful about their food. What we need is not so many "don'ts" but a few more "do's." Here are some good rules for the diet, say food specialists in the office of home economics: Sources of Vitamine A. Use daily some milk, butter, and greenleaf vegetables, either raw or cooked only enough to make them taste good. These food materials all contain a substance called vitamine A, believed to be necessary for normal growth in children and also for the continued bodily well-being of adults. Introduce variety into the cereal foods used by eating occasionally brown bread, baked or steamed; grham muffins, cracked whole wheat, or CAREFULLY PLANNED CLEANING IS URGED CAREFULLY PLANNED CLEANING IS URGED Long Been Regarded as Bugbear in Many Households. No Need for Upheavals That Result in Discomfort to Everybody If Few Prescription Rules Are (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Housecleaning need not be the bugbear it has long been regarded in many households. If the work is carefully planned, if the kind of furnishings that are easy to keep clean are chosen and handled in the right way, and if provision is made for keeping all the dirt possible out of the house, there will be no need for the upheavals that result in discomfort to the entire household. The following are good rules by which to organize the housecleaning: Keep dirt out of the house by cleaning the walks, steps, porches, and sills regularly and often, by screening windows and doors near the ground, and by insisting on having muddy shoes and coats cleaned, or left outside. Lessen the number of dust-collecting places, such as unnecessary cupboards, grooved and carved woodwork, floors with cracks, rough-finished walls, elaborately carved and upholstered furniture, superfluous draperies, and bric-a-brac. Remove dirt frequently systematically. This keeps the house and furnishings in better condition, and makes the need of heavy cleaning less frequent. Clean by taking the dirt away, not by scattering it, to settle again elsewhere. Do heavy cleaning a little at a time to avoid the hard work and discomforts of the old-fashioned spring and fall housecleaning. Have a supply of good cleaning tools such as your work calls for, and keep them in good order in a convenient place. Use water and cleaning agents sparingly because otherwise they may spoil finishes and weaken glue, paste, or cement. Watch for troublesome insects and animals, and take prompt measures to get rid of them if they appear. Make all the family help by leaving things where they belong, and in good condition. These rules are given by the United States Department of Agriculture in a new Farmers' Bulletin, No. 1180, "Housecleaning Made Easier." To Remove Grease Spots. Cover grease spots on wall paper with white blotting paper and hold a warm iron over them. Repeat this operation with a fresh piece of paper until all the grease is absorbed. The Kitchen Cabinet Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union A creature not too bright or good For human nature's daily food; For transient sorrows, simple wiles; Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears and smiles. —Wordsworth. Where the fresh mackerel can be obtained, the following recipe will add to the family's enjoyment: to the family's enjoyment: Spiced Mackerel Split three fresh mackerel down the back and clean them, removing the bones, scraping all the thin black skin from the inside. Cut off the heads and tails and divide each in half crosswise. Arrange the pieces in a shallow baking dish; pour over enough vinegar to reach to the top pieces, but not cover; sprinkle with salt and pepper and a very little cayenne; place a bay leaf on each and eight cloves with four all-spice dropped here and there in the vinegar. Bake in a slow oven for two hours. Serve hot with baked potatoes, or the dish may be served cold with lemon quarters. Chicken Patties.—Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter; add two tablespoonfuls of flour, and when well stocked add one cupful of chicken stock; season with one-half teaspoonful of salt, cayenne and pepper to taste; add one cupful of cold diced chicken and cook slowly five minutes. Fill the patty shells and serve at once. Royal Patty Shells.—Slift two cupfuls of flour with one-half teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, then rub in four tablespoonfuls of shortening and enough ice water to make a dough to roll. Roll out thin, cut in circles and place on the outside the patty tins, lightly brushed with butter. Bake in a hot oven open side down. Remove the shells carefully and turn open side up to bake for five minutes. Nut Bars.—Cream one-half cupful of shortening; add one and one-half cupfuls of sugar, then the yolk of an egg well beaten, the whites of two eggs beaten stiff, and three tablespoonfuls of milk; mix well. Sift three teaspoonfuls of baking powder and three cupfuls of flour. Mix all together; divide into two parts; roll out and cut into bars. Brush with beaten yolk of an egg and one tablespoonful of milk; sprinkle with one-half cupful of chopped almonds and bake in a moderate oven 15 minutes. "Alas! for him who never sees The stars shine through the cypress trees." For a change some day, try a Beefsteak Pie.—Take three-fourths of a pound of beefsteak, fry out the fat and sprinkle the meat with flour and brown well on both sides. Cut the steak in serving-sized pieces; add salt, pepper, ten small onions, three medium-sized potatoes diced, and three cupfuls of hot water or stock. Cook altogether until the meat is done. Place in a baking dish and cover with small baking powder biscuits. Bake 15 minutes until brown. American Chop Suey.—Remove the fat from one-half pound of lean pork and fry it out. If not two tablespoonfuls add fat to make the amount. Cook medium-sized thinly sliced onions in the fat; add one cupful of thinly sliced celery root or celery, one half cupful of fresh mushrooms, one half of a green pepper shredded; cook for five minutes then add to the other ingredients with three cupfuls of stock, two teaspoonfuls of salt, and one-half cupful of uncooked rice. Cover and cook slowly for 40 minutes. Ham Flakes.—Cook one and one-half cupfuls of broad noodles, broken into squares, in boiling salted water until tender. Drain and mix with one-fourth of a pound of boiled ham cut in small pieces; add salt and pepper to taste; one cupful of milk and one-half of a can of peas. Put into a well-greased baking dish; bent one egg and spread over the top, dot with bits of butter and bake in a moderate oven for 25 minutes. Musical ability in a child can be well judged by testing five faculties: The sense of pitch, which is the ability to discriminate between higher and lower tones; the sense of time or rhythm; the sense of consonance, which is the ability to tell what is more pleasing and what is less pleasing; the sense of intensity; and musical memory, or the ability to remember a number of tones from hearing them once. Those qualifications are probably in large measure inherited, for very young children sometimes have them.—Youth's Companion. An unusual rotation of crops, consisting of fish two years and oats one year, is reported by a recent writer in the Scottish Journal of Agriculture. This occurs in some localities in the reclaimed regions along the coast of England and the continent. The fish are raised in shallow pools, which are drained and cultivated every third year. Nellie Maxwell whole-grain cereal foods in some other form. Form the habit of eating vegetables in general and also fruits, fresh and dried. They give bulk to the diet, thus tending to prevent constipation, and also they supply mineral substances in abundance and vitamine B. Vary the sweets occasionally by the use of finely chopped nuts and dried fruits, such as dates, figs, or raisins, which may, for still further variety, be mixed with honey. Such sweets raise the amount of mineral matter in the diet and probably also increase the amount of vitamins. Appetites Guide Producers. Make a special effort to include carrots and cabbage among the vegetables, in addition to lettuce, spinach and other green leaves, and tomatoes, oranges and lemons among the fruits. These foods keep up the supply of vitamine C. These rules for individuals taken together make one great commandment for the farmer, the merchant and the economist. What people need to keep them healthy is an index to what should be produced and how it should be distributed. No one should be prevented from following good rules for the diet because the needed foods are not available.

In the piece Clothespin Apron Eliminates Stooping. that is to go on the outside, cut out the corners at the top for pockets, as shown in the illustration. Sew the two pieces together, stitching across the bottom and up the sides to the pockets. Hem the lower piece from here up, and also hem the pocket openings. Sew the apron on a band which may tie in the back or button. BEST LOCATION OF KITCHEN Recommended That Distance Between Various Rooms Be Arranged to Save Unnecessary Steps. Is your kitchen conveniently placed with respect to the rest of the house, especially pantry, dining-room, cellar, and storeroom? The United States Department of Agriculture recommends that the distances between these rooms be as short as possible so as to save steps. Differences between floor level of kitchen and dining room, or kitchen and pantry, are sometimes necessary, but they waste time and strength and often cause serious accidents.

Percale, gingham, cotton crepe, satine, other printed and plain cottons in substantial weaves, and some cretonne, all figure in their making and designs reveal a demand for neat effects, cheerful colors, and the introduction of two materials.
