The Eighth Annual Negro Health Week should secure a more general interest in an understanding of health problems and health education than any which has preceded it. Results of the last annual Health Week gave great impulse to this health movement which is planned to effect the co-operation of all welfare agencies and groups of people in the reduction of preventable sickness and deaths, and the increase of vitality and resistance to disease. Such results not only lessen the misery and cost of preventable sickness and death to the family, community and the government, but also increase the well-being, earning capacity and service of the healthy citizen to home, community and country. As was done last year, the United States Public Health has prepared the Health Week Bulletin. Copies of the same may be secured by application to Tuskegee Institute or to Dr. Roscoe C. Brown, the United States Public Health Service, Washington, D. C. At a meeting of representatives of a number of national health organizations held at Tuskegee Institute, Jan. 20 the following program for Health Week was approved: Sunday, April 2—Sermon and Lecture Day. Health sermons and lectures by ministers, doctors and other qualified persons. Urge the carrying out of the Health Week program. Give references to health information and urge co-operation with organized agencies. Emphasize mother and infant welfare week to reduce high infant mortality. Monday, April 3—Hygiene Day.

DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 4 1922 Howard Prepares for Intercollegiate Debates to Be Held in Spring WASHINGTON, D. C., March 4. Undergraduate life at Howard university is now entered in the coming intercollegiate debates to be held in the spring with Lincoln university, Virginia Union university, and Atlanta university. Howard last year entered into a triangular debating league with Union and Lincoln universities and the same arrangement will hold for this year. Lincoln will debate Howard in Philadelphia and Union university at Richmond. Howard will meet Union at Washington. On the same night each of the three colleges will have two teams debating its rivals on opposite sides of the question. This triangular debate will be held March 21, 1922. The proposition to be discussed is: "Resolved, That the Open Shop Policy Should Prevail in American Industries." In addition to the triangular debate, Howard will also meet its ancient forensic rival, Atlanta university, in Washington two weeks prior to the triangular debate. The subject of the debate will be, "Resolved, That the United States Should Cancel the War Debts of the Allies." Howard will uphold the affirmative and Atlanta the negative. The speakers for the various teams which will represent Howard have not as yet been chosen but the following provisional selection has been made for the debate with Atlanta university: A. E. Burke, C. L. Clark, M. G. Edmonds, L. K. McMillan, M. G. Murray, Y. L. Simms, J. E. Smith, J. G. Woods and C. G. Carrington; for the triangular debate: E. Alexander, W. R. Adams, H. E. Bledsoe, J. Curry, H. L. Dudley, J. Erskine, A. C. Gilbert, L. E. King, Z. A. Looby, F. D. Robb, A. E. Stowe, E. A. Simmons and F. W. Williams. Debating is claiming a larger place in student activities at Howard, being a popular phase of the intellectual life of the undergraduates. The debating interests of the male students are lodged in the control of the Kappa Sigma Debating society to which many men now prominent in public and professional life look back with pride and affection. This organization conducts annually inter-class debates between the freshmen and sophomore classes. Recently the Forum, a similar organization which conducts class debates among the young women, and which aspires to arrange intercollegiate debates with other colleges, was organized to foster debating among the young women. The work of training the students in debating is under the direction of the department of public speaking of which Professor Montgomery Gregory has charge. "NEGRO VETERANS" FOUNDED. Washington, D. C., Feb.—"Lest they forget!" was the slogan of a determined group of over 100 ex-service men who gathered here at the nation's capital this week to form a national organization of Negro veterans of the world war. "The organization, which is to be known as the Negro American Veterans of the World War, is the inevitable outgrowth of the discrimination that has been practiced everywhere against the Negro veteran," said Dr. N. A. A. C. P. Named in General Order of U.S. Shipping Board Fleet The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is named in a general order issued on Feb. 17 by A. J. Frey, vice president in charge of operations of the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation. This order prohibits discrimination against colored men in the Shipping Board's Commissary Department. Credit for this victory goes to Shelby J. Davidson, executive secretary of the Washington branch, N. A. A. C. P., who, together with Mr. Chambers of the Committee for the Relief of Unemployed Colored Chief Stewards, called on Vice President Frey and submitted evidence that colored men had been discriminated against. Mr. Davidson writes: "After looking into the official correspondence he had in hand, and corresponding letters and papers presented by us, Mr. Frey called his stenographer and issued the order I am sending in this letter and closed by saxing, that the agent in the New York port, according to letters and reports he had received, seemed to be the chief offender and that in a few days he would be removed from his place to a more subordinate position." The general order issued by the Emergency Fleet Corporation is as follows: "United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation, Washington. Operations Order No. 11. To Managing Agents, District Directors, District Managers, Employés of the Emergency Fleet Corporation. Subject: Employment of Colored Men in Commissary Department. Evidence has been laid before me by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which indicates that in one district at least, there has been discrimination against American citizens in the employment of personnel for the commissary department of our vessels; such discrimination being purely on account of color and without regard to the competency of the applicant for a position. Such a policy cannot be permitted. There are many colored men who have spent the greater part of their lives working in the commissary department of vessels, and who from long experience have become most proficient in the work of that department. When positions in the commissary department are to be filled, there must be no discrimination on account of color, and employés must be selected solely on the basis of their competency, honesty, and previous good record, but subject of course to the provisions of Chairman's General Order No. 11 and Operations Order No. 7, directing that preference be given to competent American citizens. A. J. FREY, Vice President in Charge of Operation. T. E. Jones, former captain in the medical corps and a wearer of the distinguished service cross. "Especially has this discrimination been most rampant in the treatment of suffering and disabled men." BOULDER, COLO., NEWS. Wednesday night, the 15th, Boulder was visited by Rev. W. J. Brennan of Red, Iowa. He spoke at the Baptist church to a very attentive audience, from, "Behold What Manner of Love the Father Has Bestowed Upon Us, That We Might Be Called the Son's of God." He said "sonship" brought us back to our former relations. One who realizes the deep relations can draw on the full estate of God. We are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. He also said if we obeyed God He would give us all we needed, also give us of His great blessings we could have a flood of joy and a flood of song. He exhorted us to value our relations to God very highly. Friday night, the 17th, was to be the night of the debate by the Literary Club, but none of the debaters showed up, at least not enough to carry on the debate, so they had an impromptu program. Rev. Carter, pastor of Allen Chapel, and Mr. Paige sang a duet, "Was That Somebody You?" after which they had a spelling bee. Miss Ynette Horne won out as the best speller. Sunday, the 19th, Rev Jackson, pastor of the Second Baptist church, spoke from the subject, "He Wish Not That God Had Departed From Him." Rev. Carter of Allen Chapel spoke Sunday night, the 19th, on "Judgment." Peter proves there is judgment. Many say God is too good to make a man and then send him to hell. The answer is: Man sends his own self there by refusing the good and excepting the evil. To go to hell means to accept the fare that is there, that is everlasting punishment, a place of everlasting fire, where the fire is not quenched, and where the worm dieth not. Now is the time to prepare to meet God; here is the place to live the life so that we can escape everlasting punishment and obtain life everlasting. The N. A. A. C. P. are planning a "daffy" social the 31st of March. Rev. J. Wilson, from Hill City, Kan., was a Boulder visitor Sunday, the 27th. He will remain until Tuesday, the 29th. He spoke Sunday night, also 2:30 Sunday. His subject was from the tenth chapter of Luke. Sunday night, the 27th, being the fourth Sunday, was program Sunday at the Baptist Church. The first number was, "Marching to Zion," by the audience; quartette, "If Jesus Goes With Me, I'll Go," Mrs. Chrysler, Miss Marie Townsend, Mr. Brickler and Mr. Horne; instrumental solo, James Chrysler; twenty-third psalm read by Mr. Maxwell; solo and chorus, "In the Garden," led by Mrs. Tinsley. Rev. Jackson read some passages from "Pit Falls in Modern Amusements." The part he read was entitled, "Dangers of Home Card Playing." He quoted Sam Jones' words that some said, "I will play cards with my children at home so they won't go elsewhere to play," but you might as well say, "I will give the little pigs swill and when they grow up they won't want any swill." Sam Jones calls the parents that say those things, "poor fools," and that all card games are dangerous. The card game is a ticket to hell. If we teach our children to play cards it leads to prison gallows and a drunkards grave, and fathers and mothers who allow the card table in the home and are responsible for their future wrecked lives and will have to answer for it. The closing number was a solo by Miss Velma Clark. Everyone enjoyed the program. For the last two weeks the Cedar Art Club has been royally entertained. The 16th we were at the parsonage. Mrs. Carter gave us a real chicken dinner, and it was fried. Just imagine fried chicken at this time of the year! We had not only "chicken," but all the "fixin'" and "trimmin'". The 23rd Mrs. Wharton, at 1936 Goss. Mr. and Mrs. Wharton host and hostess to a wonderful "Washington birthday reception." Red, white and blue was carried out in the refreshments. The first course was chicken patties, pens with hatchets, rolls; next was shrimp salad, garnished with real looking, small carrots (made out of Pimento cheese) and wafers (salad); next was "utti fruitti" ice cream, small cakes, decorated with "Old Glory." After dinner mints in red, white and blue hatchets. Everyone enjoyed the program rendered, as well as the "menu." The "Federations Song" was the first number. Mrs. Mary White read an NO 21 War Office to Aid For Young Memorial WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 20.—Col. Charles Young lives in the memory of his fellow-countrymen. March 12, throughout the entire nation, tribute will be paid to this great and "Well Known Soldier" of the United States army. From every point of the compass comes information of activity in arranging for the day. The War Department has taken cognizance of the date and through Gen. John H. Pershing, who formerly served with Col. Young in the Tenth cavalry, co-operation is being extended in making the occasion one long to be remembered. Dr. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, tendered his services in preparation of a resolution for passages by the bishops of the three great Methodist bodies, A. M. E., A. M. E. Zion and C. M. E., in session in Montgomery, Ala., whereby the bishops issue a proclamation asking for observance of the memorial throughout their respective connection. George W. Webican of New York, Grand Exalted Ruler of the I. B. P. O. Elks of the World, has issued a proclamation urging the members of the order to join in the fitting observance. One of the most eloquent editorials ever printed about an American appeared in The Nation, Feb. 8, which closed by saying : "So died one who being a Negro yet distinguished himself and a horse and smashed to smithereens, as have the Colored generals in the French army, the absurdity that Negroes can follow only if whites lead. It was the black Toussaint L'Overture and his blacks who successfully defeated the veterans of France, of Spain, and of England on the fields of Haiti. There was the stuff of L'Overture in Charles Young, in the flash of his eye and the lift of his head." LAUNDRESS PUTS CHICAGO FAMILY IN PENITENTIARY. Chicago, Feb. 11.—Tortured and mutilated by a white Chicago physician and his two sons, Miss Mamie McGray, laudress, has obtained her revenge with the conviction of all three on charges of assault to commit murder. The state is demanding the maximum penalty for the crime, which is fourteen years in the penitentiary. The girl said that she was employed for one day in the home of Dr. George V. Lipschulch. In the course of the day suspicion centered on her from the disappearance of some jewels. She was stripped, she alleges, by the physician and his sons, Jehil and Caesar, tied in a chair and forced to undergo and inquisition in which hot ashes were thrown on her breast and her tongue clipped with shears in an effort to extort a confession. At the end, she says, a skeleton was rattled before her as a suggestion of what would happen to her if she refused to reveal the hiding place of the jewels. address on "Club Work Among Colored Women."

Everyone enjoyed themselves and at a late hour left for their homes, saying how they enjoyed themselves. FOREIGN The brokerage house of Tousaw Hartland Anderson, Montreal, has assigned for the benefit of creditors. The announcement was made from the rostrum of the Montreal Stock exchange. Evacuation of British troops from Ireland will be resumed, it has been announced. Two special steamers under British government orders, will leave the port of Dublin soon with troops and military stores. The universal suffrage bill, introduced in the diet by the opposition, was defeated by a vote of 243 to 147 at Tokio. The final debate was not attended by the promised demonstration, a snow storm accompanied by a cold wave interfering. A fire that swept the Tondo district of Manila recently, destroyed 800 small nipa houses and rendered homeless more than 4,000 natives. As there has been no rain recently, the nipa houses are dry as tinder and burned rapidly in a high wind that carried the flames over a wide area. An exceeding faith is shown in the name and picture of George Washington, since the scramble for foreign moneys began in Moscow. Money changers refuse to take any checks, and the American cash they accept must bear the engraving of George Washington. Such bills they call "Washington." J. B. Murray of Woburn, Mass., connected with the American relief administration, suffered a slight flesh wound when fired upon in the street in Moscow recently. He was accompanied by a Mr. Callahan of Fall River, Mass. Whether the shot was fired by a highwayman or by street patrols who misinterpreted the actions of the Americans has not been determined. American food now is beginning to tell in the fight for lives of children in the famine districts near Moscow, where the American relief administration is in operation. But elsewhere the situation is growing more ghastly every day. In some villages where, before the relief administration kitchens were established, the deaths of children ranged from five to seven daily. Great Britain has not yet received a penny of war indemnity from Germany, the House of Commons was told by Slr Robert Horne, chancellor of the exchequer. The cost of maintaining the forces of occupation, however, amounting to more than 1,000,000,000 gold marks, had been repaid to the extent of 970,000,000 marks. Of this sum £2,640,000 had been paid to Canada and Australia. GENERAL Four bandits held up the cashier and twenty-five members of the Franklin Printers' Union local No. 4 at Chicago and escaped with $4,000 in union funds. The holdup took place at union headquarters, where L. S. Mills, the cashier, was paying out sick benefit funds. Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis issued a temporary restraining order enjoining Arthur C. Lueder, postmaster of Chicago, from preventing the Chicago Tribune from going through the mails on the ground that a contest in which cash prizes were awarded to the possessors of "lucky names" was a lottery. Formal announcement of the candidacy of Governor Edwards for United States senator on a "wet" platform will be made soon after the Legislature adjourns, Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City, has stated. Mayor Hague was the governor's campaign manager when he ran for his present office. James M. Cox, Democratic presidential candidate in 1920, has accepted an invitation to address Iowa Democrats at a rally at Des Moines, Iowa, this month, which will inaugurate the state campaign, according to an announcement by Dr. J. W. Reynolds of Creston, chairman of the state committee. Contributions to the Woodrow Wilson foundation offer opportunity for persons of all political beliefs to aid the cause of world peace, Henry Ford declared in a letter made public by Woodbridge N. Ferris of Big Rapids, former governor of Michigan and state chairman of the foundation. Mr. Ford enclosed a check for $10,000. Failing in their efforts to gain entrance to an apartment in Cleveland, Ohio, where it was reported a gang of alleged safe crackers were living, police resorted to a "tear bomb." A window was broken and the bomb thrown inside. The result was almost instantaneous. Four men and three women surrendered and were taken to police headquarters for investigation. Alfred E. Lindsay, accused of swindling society women out of nearly $1,000,000 in fake stock deals, confessed that many of the charges against him were true, according to Richard Murphy, assistant district attorney. Lindsay, a stock broker, was arrested at Overbrook, Pa., on an indictment charging grand larceny and brought to New York by detectives. Mrs. Fred McCormick, 38, Dallas, Texus, whose husband shot and killed himself after he fired a bullet at her, was saved by a silver dollar in her pocketbook. The bullet fired at her struck the dollar after passing through her arm and was deflected from the direction of her heart. The bullet was found in the pocketbook. Relief of the unemployment situation by the removal of more than 2,000,000 children from industry was advocated by James J. Davis, secretary of labor, in an address at Lima, Ohio, recently AN EPITOME OF LATE LIVE NEWS BONDENSED RECORD OF THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS AT HOME AND ABROAD. BAYINGS, DOINGS, ACHIEVE MENTS, SUFFERINGS, HOPES AND FEARS OF MANKIND. WESTERN Alfred R. Wildman, veteran newspaper man and author of nature stories, died at his home at San Francisco after an illness of three years. Hanford MacNider, national commander of the American Legion, received a challenge to debate the bonus question before the city club post American Legion at Mason City, Iowa. The challenge was forwarded to him in Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Paul E. Gray, their two children, a baby of 6 and a girl of 3, besides a nurse, Miss Lillian Spencer, were killed at Santa Barbara, Calif., by inhaling carbon monoxide gas, which filled the Gray home from a gas water heater. Wellington D. Rankin, attorney general of Montana and a brother of Miss Jeannette Rankin, the first woman member of Congress, announced that he will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for United States senator at the primaries next August. What is declared to be the worst landslide in many years in the Cajon pass, California, buried the westbound track of the Santa Fé railroad between Cajon and Summit, where an eighth of a mile of track was covered, in some places to a depth of thirty feet. Eleven hundred and fifty-four new cases of influenza have been reported in Los Angeles, it was announced recently by the quarantine officer, Physicians estimated that thousands of cases daily were not reported, but the epidemic is lighter than that of several years ago. A scathing attack upon Senator Truman H. Newberry of Michigan, praise for the courage of James A. Reed of Missouri, and a strong defense of the agricultural bloc in Congress characterized the address of William S. Kenyon, former senator from Iowa, before the students of the University of Missouri, recently. Rain at Emporia, Kan., and in the watershed of the Neosho river from which the city water supply comes, was received with rejoicing not only because of its benefit to crops, but because it will mean an unlimited supply of water for Emporia bathtubs. Emporia has been virtually on a ration system as far as bath water went since last summer with residents urged to use the existing supply as frugally as possible. WASHINGTON The postal service would be required to provide weekly pay days for all employees under a bill introduced by Senator Lodge, Republican, of Massachusetts. George E. Long, the War Department clerk, who confessed to sending threatening letters to capital social leaders demanding money, was liberated as an "eccentric crank." The women refused to prosecute him and the postoffice officials decided he had violated no postal law under which he could be held. Attorney General Daugherty has instructed federal authorities at Boise, Idaho, to release a Pullman car seized there by prohibition enforcement officers. The United States has made a formal protest to the Japanese government against the smuggling of opium, morphine, heroin and other narcotics into this country by means of Japanese steamships. The woman's suffrage, or nineteenth amendment, was declared constitutional by the Supreme Court. The court dismissed, for want of jurisdiction, the suit brought by Charles S. Fairchild of New York, who sought to challenge the constitutionality of the amendment. The conference of trade union women adopted a resolution expressing opposition to the blanket amendment, proposed by the National Women's party, to the federal constitution for securing equal rights for women. The action of the conference was based, the resolution declared, on the belief that the amendment would be interpreted as invalidating laws now in force which apply to laboring women. The war claims board, created during the world war to adjust claims against the government, has been dissolved, the War Department announced recently. Of the 30,000 claims filed with the board, only thirty-one remain to be settled. These are claims to the Dupont Engineering Company, the Remington Arms Company and the United States Cartridge Company. Senator Capper, Republican, Kansas, was elected unanimously as chairman of the unofficial agricultural bloc of the Senate, succeeding former Senator Kenyon of Iowa.

Pueblo.—An entire city block of houses in the Mexican quarter of Pueblo was destroyed by fire recently. The fire started from an explosion and because of lack of water supply in this district, which is outside the city limits, fire fighters were unable to make any headway fighting the blaze. There were no casualties. Florence.—James A. McCandless, 86 years old, member of the State Legislature in the Second and Third assemblies and a senator in the Sixth and Seventh assemblies, and who raised the first alfalfa in Colorado and bored the first oil well in the Florence district, died recently at his home in Florence. Mr. McCandless was founder of the city and was its first mayor. He purchased all the land on which Florence is located in 1884, paying for it with a $1,500 ranch and 100 head of steers. He plotted a township, had it incorporated and named it in honor of one of his daughters.

Greeley.-Five dollars a ton for sugar beets, and probably more, was the prediction under the sliding scale contract made at a meeting here of Great Western Sugar Company officials and fieldmen from the Greeley, Eaton, Windsor and Brighton factories. The session was the first of a series to be held between officials of the company and the fieldmen in all districts, to explain in detail the contract proposed at the recent conference with the growers' committee in Denver.

The latter resented La Zado's remark, it is said, and a fight started which developed into a free-for-all affair. Castle Rock.—The body of a well-dressed man, believed to have come from Denver, was found hanging to a tree near the railroad tracks six miles south of Castle Rock recently by two coyote trappers. The man had committed suicide by hanging himself with his belt. Salida.—That the granito business would some day prove a great asset to Salida and its vicinity is about to be realized. Many new companies are being organized for business, a new road to the district is planned for the immediate future and the industry is picking up. Breckenridge.—A rotary snowplow pushed by three locomotives left Breckenridge recently to remove two huge snowslides near Curtin Spur in Ten Mile canon on the Colorado & Southern route to Leadville. Denver trains were held at Dillon. One of the snow-slides was reported as being 150 feet long with ten feet of snow on the track and the other 200 feet long and fifteen feet deep. Colorado Springs.—Viel Battle, a negro, charged with the holdup of Dan U. Hampton, prominent real estate man, was arrested by Officer Robert Wraith as he was about to board a southbound train in the D. & R. G. railroad yards. A roll of bills containing $90, alleged to have been taken from Hampton, was found on the negro, who submitted to arrest only after a sharp struggle with the officer. Loveland. At a meeting of beet growers at Loveland, attended by 150 farmers of that section, the contract offered by the Great Western Sugar Company was rejected. The meeting voted to place the exclusive power of making contracts for beet growing in this region with the Mountain State Beet Growers' Association. Fort Collins.—A mysterious stroller, whose name is believed to be Sabbett and who is believed to live in Washington, D. C., is in the county jail at Fort Collins pending an investigation into his mental condition. Residents near Lincoln park saw a man sitting on a park bench, and a little later he was seen to be lying down, apparently unconscious. A little paris green was left in a package which had contained a dime worth of the poison, so he was given treatment for poisoning under the supposition that he had made an effort to commit suicide.

DIL BOOM 1S RESPONSIBLE Hundreds Are Forced to Sleep Out- Doors and There Is but One Bathhouse in the Place— Prices Are High. Mexia, Texas.—Mexia, whieh has come into so much notoriety through ‘the sending of state troops here to put an end to outlawry, the sale of {illeit booze and restore order, 1s a typical mushroom city. Overnight a tented city arose, From an apparently sleepy |jttle town of 8,000 population im October, 1921, where old settlers farmed for a living and eked out a bure existence from their lands to a bustling city of 30,- 000 people, and all in a few months, this is the recent record of Mexia, an old-time Texas town, which is feel- ing the effects of one of the numer- ops ofl developments in the South- ‘west. 'The population now consists of an assortment of oll field followers and thousands of men and women seeking employment. Consequently because of the exhorbitant prices charged for @ room, if one were lucky enough to secure one, hundreds of men, favored by the long continued mild winter, are Sleeping on the grass along railroad tracks, public parking places and, in fact, anywhere they can. Beds in Tents Costly. Overnight a bed in a tent marked “A place to flop” soared from 50 cents a night to $3. A night in a crude plank structure where one didn't know his bed-fellow or the hundreds of others in the single room cost $5. Rail traffic Jumped hundreds of per ‘ent. There are two trunk lines, the Houston & Texas Central and the Trinity & Brazos Valley, leading through here, and passenger traftic Is very heavy, while freight trains are frequently seen running three abreast, so heavy is the demand for oll ma- chinery. One road is said to haye spent $600,000 in enlarging its facilities. The water situation is not alto: gether what could be desired. Getting a bath here is quite an experience, it indeed not a task. ‘The old saying, “If you want to do something big— wash an elephant,” certainly has found parallel in Mexia, But One Bathhouse. » ‘This luxury may be found, outside ‘the woodland creeks, only in a down- town barber shop. ‘The bathhouse Is 4 stall in a wooden-floored, planked-in inclosure.

As Means of Quick Communication Between Ranger on Fire Line and Headquarters Carrier Pigeon Has No Equal. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) ‘The carrier pigeon has found a place for itself in the fire-fighting forces of the forest service. It demonstrated its worth this year in the Idaho na- tonal forest, and will be installed next year at all protective camps in that district. As a means of quiek and certain communication between the ranger out on the fire line and head- quarters, the carrier pigeon has no competition, reports from Idaho to the Department of Agriculture state.

Sedrv Woolley, Wash.—A fine silt of very. fertile earth tayer from two to five inches deep was left on the inundated farm lands when the flooded Skagit river subsided to its regular channel. < ‘The layer of silt had added great value to the valley lands, according to owners. The flood, which was the most extensive known here since the early homestead days, lasted from De- Boston.—A story of great love, of a career of hard battles in the ring, and of a winning fight agatnst tuberculosis came to light at Harvard university a few days ago when Frederick “Kid” Wedge, forty-one years old, of Arizona registered in the Harvard graduate school of education, where he is to study for hls Ph, D. degree. Fifteen years ago the name of “Kid” Wedge was one to be feared In the timber lands of the Middle West. For years he had fought in the rings of that region, At twenty he left the woods, where he worked with lumber- ing crews, and took up the fighting pack horse, kept overnight at its destl- nation, and rejeased the next day. This carrier was back at its coop, at headquarters, 830 minutes after It was released, having covered 18 miles, sir Une, and flown over a high mountain. Its mate equaled the performance. Another, released at dusk from the bottom of a canyon, rose abruptly, crossed two high ranges and was at its coop before dark, A third, carried In @ back pack into high peaks of the Buckhorn country, flew home within an hour, covering in that time a good day’s Journey for a man on horseback. In the face of fire, this performance was equaled. The ranger took ,two birds to the spot where smoke had been located, The first bird carried instructions to send help. Not long thereafter the fire-fighters at the front had brought the blaze under control, ‘The second bird was released, coun- termanding the first order. It reached headquarters just as the summoned assistance was about to start for the fire, and the message it carried not AMERICAN FOXES WILL BE RAISED IN GERMANY Berlin.—American silver foxes and skunks will be cultivated on a large scale by a German stock company on @ farm in the Aus- trian Tyrol, under the direction of Professor de Mill of the nat- ural history department. of the Munich university.

Sunbury, Pa.—To travel 900 miles to Florida on a bicycle without mis- hap was the experience of William Burell, aged sixteen, of Sunbury, whose parents received word recently that he had arrived safely. Young Burell is a mechanleal genius and found no trouble In finding work at garages along the route. He will leave soon on the second leg of his journey to California. He Intends to ride his wheel the whole way. game for his profession. In the next six years he fought 68 battles and won 65 of them. Romance Entered Life, Then, when he was twenty-six, came his romance. He met the daughter of a Wisconsin doctor. She was a gradu- ate of a Nebraska college, and far re- moved from Wedge's station in life, but they were married, ‘Then he realized the great difference in their intellectual standards, so he gave up the ring to secure an education with the money he had earned as a prize- fighter. For six years he attended a preparatory school, where he did 12 years of elementary work to prepare for college. He entered the University of Ne- braska, but the war interrupted his work. He went to Camp Grant as a boxing instructor, and there another obstucle appeared. The doctors pro- nounced him an incurable victim of tuberculosis, with but six months to live. He went to El Paso, Tex., to be- gin a different battle, and in a year he was a well man. Won Degree of A. B. Then he entered the University of Arizona and finished the work he had begun at the University of Nebraska. He was given his degree of A. B. He was forty yenrs old then, and became principal of the high schol at Benson, Ariz. ‘That was the position he held until the end of last year, when he resigned to go East and continue his studies. He made the trip of thousands of miles in freight cars and “on the rods.” He started with $10 traveling expenses, and reached Cambridge with 65 cents in his pockets. When the next semester opens at Harvard, after the mid-year examinations, “Kid” Wedge, former boxer, former lumberman, for- mer hobo, and former flying consump- tive, will open up the books that will make him a doctor of philosophy. BLINDNESS DECREASES INU. S. Cases Drop From 57,272 in 1910 to 2,617 in 1920, Say Census Figures. Washington, D. C—The number of blind persons in the United States de- creased from 57,272 in 1910 to 52,617 in 1920, according to figures for the last census annonnced by the census bureau. The decrease was attributed in part to advanced methods for treat- ment in blindness und also to educa- tion of the public in preventing tlind- ness, only gave welcome assurance of vic tory over the retl peril, but saved a number of men from making a long and tedious trip through the forest. URGES BRITISH EMPIRE RADIO Wireless Commission Advocates Build. ing of Stations in Colonies and la China. London.—The wireless _ telegraph commission has recommended to the government the construction of sta- tions in England, Canada, Australia, South Africa, India, Egypt, East Afri- ca, Singapore and Hongkong. A year was devoted to study of the question. ‘The average cost of the stations is estimated at not more than £160,000, normal value $800,000, but those in England, Egypt, Singapore and Hong- kong would aggregate about £853,000, or $4,260,000. Recommendation. is made that two wave lengths be fixed for each transmitting station, and that each center be equipped for recetving from seyern! stations in the chain simultaneously. CHAIRMEN FESS AND ROUSE PUTTING ALL THEIR FIELD WORKERS ON THE JOB. CONFIDENCE ON BOTH SIDES Republicans Expect to Lose Some Seats But to Retain Control, While Democrats Predict They Will Cap- ture the House. oe ara Vn ek eee ee Washington.—Laborers of both par- tles are ubout to enter into fleld work. No condition of unemployment will face elther the Democratic or the Re- publican parties for the next nine months, The Republicans must work to keep what they have, while the Democrats must work to take over what they can get. The Democrats say they can get much, The Repub- Heans say they ean get little or noth- ng. ‘The congressional campalgn com- mittees*of both parties have been hamed save for some few members ot the Democratie body who are to be appointed shortly. It 1s probable that in each state in which elther party is to make a fight a committeewoman. will act as first assistant to the cam- Paign committeeman. The day has sone by for the raising of any ques- tion as to the advisability of seeking the ald of women in party polities. Attempts have been made recently to name the probable chlef Issues of the coming campaign for the posses. slon of the house of representatives. and for a part of the United States senate. Neither the Democratic nor the Republican leaders know yet What the Issues will be. Congress must do its work and adjourn before the Republicans will know whether they are to go before the country” on the International conference issue plus certain legislative enactments, or whether they must be forced to con- ‘tent themselves with a campaign of promises of things yet to be done by the party In congress, Rouse and Fess Are the Chairmen. Arthur B, Rouse, Democratic mem- ber of the house of representatives from the Sixth district of Kentucky, is the chairman of the Democratic congressional campaign — comunittee. The Republicans re-elected Repre- sentatlye Simeon D, Fess as chalr- man of their congressional campaign committee some time ago. Rouse and Fess are good campaigners. It has been said of the Ohlonn that he Is a particularly good campaigner because he knows better than any other man the Issues which will appeal with vary- ing force in varying districts of the country. He will make the most of bonus where bonusing 1s good, and the most of conference where confer- eneing 1s good. Democratic party officials who also hold congressional offices actually be- Meve that the Democracy Is to capture the next house of representatives. In every campaign, of course, there are expressions of assurance of victory, but always it Is easy to determine whether or not the expressed hope 1s sincere. It seemingly is sincere this year so far as the Democrats are con- cerned. Chairman Fess has sald that the Democrats may make a few gains “because It would hardly be expected that we could retain our overwhelm- ing majority of one hunared and six- ty nine. The Democrats, however, will not come anywhere near to gaining control.” Mr. Fess has had given to him the Job of electing a Republican majority in the next congress. It Is not alto- gether a thankful task which he has on his hands, for few politicians of any party believe that the Iepub- licans will have as great a majority in the next house as they have in the present one. Any Joss of members, heyertheless, will be blamed upon the campaign committee leader. National Committees Help. In the years that are gone the Dem- ocratic and the Republican congres- sional committees “went {t alone” In the campaigns. The national com- mitteemen gave the congressional com- mittee leave to do just about what it wanted to do without any suggestion from the greater headquarters. In re- cent years things huye bwen changed and of course wisely so, for now It Is the duty of the national committee to help the congressional committee in every way possible, In fact, the two committees are about as active in the campaign midway between the prest- dential campaigns as they are In the areater campaign Itself. Martin B..Madden, chairman of the house committee on appropriations, recently gave out a statement in which he told of the reduction in govern- ment expenses made possible under the present administration. He could not hold out any hope, however, of any great decrease in the taxes of the Immediate future. Campaign leaders, however, know that the best promise to make the voters fs that their taxes will be re- duced. The Republleans promised it in 1920, ‘Taxes have not been ma- terially reduced. The Uemocrats in the coming congressional camphign ee ea See eee aoe | be abandoned. Some of them will be turned over to the National Guard of the different states for training purposes, ard {t Is possible that others may be sold to the highest bidder. Washington 1s hoping that the old part of historie Fortress Monroe, Va., will not be lost to the sery- ice and to the people. Washington- fans in large numbers go to the old fort for recreation purposes. It is an appealing old place, full of Amerl- can reminders of high patriotic im- port. Of course the newer part of the Monroe post will be given over, for it is one of the defenses which In part has the safety of several Ameri- can cities Im its keeping. The strongest appeal at Fortress Monroe Is to be found in the remind- ers of the past which everywhere sub- ordinates the present. ‘The potent al- lurements are the trophies of war that Washington wrested from Cornwallis, the casemates whose ports, now dis- used, look over the sea-fed moat, and the great live oaks that guard the pa- rade ground which lies within the ramparts, Fortress Monroe has been re-chris- tened Fort Monroe by the military au- thorities. It is too beautiful a place to make masculine designation fitting, end no excess of gallantry is needed to make the assertion. The strong- hold was constructed a century ago, but it looks as If it had been lifted bodily from some medieval European principality and planted here on the shore of the-new world. Old Live Oaks in the Fortress. The live oaks thut grow within the fortress are green throughout the year, ‘They are older—much older—than the masonry walls which hedge them in protectingly from the winter sea blasts. Under a group of the oaks at the ocean side of the purade ground are placed priceless war relics of the Revolution. They are the old brazen smooth-bore cannon which Cornwallis yielded up to Washington at York- town. The British visitor to Fortress Monroe is left in no doubt as to the {dentity of these bits of antiquated ordnance. In bold relief just above the trunnions is inscribed the state- ment that the cannon were a part of the fruits of the American victory over the troops of King George. The French allies of the contl- jmentals must have made merry over the taking of one of these field pieces. The name of the maker let Into the knob of the cascabel shows that the gun was cast in France. Another in- scription shows that the English took It from the French on a Canadian bat- tlefield. The Frenchmen took the can- non, and with It revenge, on the field at Yorktown. There are many artillerymen at Fortress Monroe, and when the state- ment is made that there is room for thelr maneuvers as foot soldiers on the drill parade plain a better idea may be obtained of the extent of the field within the fortress than could be conveyed by mere figures. Barracks and Officers’ Club. The barracks face the parade, and flanking them are the officers’ quar- ters, old-fashioned frame structures of the southern style, suggesting sum- mer comfort. The comfort has no strength beyond the suggestion, how- ever, for some of the suffering ones say that the high rampart walls cut off all the sea breeze and that in summer It is for the inclosed ones to suffer. The officers have a club which ts quartered in a place having no coun- terpart in America. The casemates of the ramparts of the fort are con- nected by arched passageways, form- ing a long stone-encased gallery. A generous section of this battlement In- terlor has been pre-empted for the lighter side of army life. In every casemate is an embrasure through which in the war days the face of a cannon looked out over the moat. The embrasures are useless for war purposes today, and they per- form the peaceful office of letting in the lHght. ‘The cannon of this mod- | ern time frown over the parapets ‘above to disappear, after the firing, be- ‘hind the breastworks of earth and stone. The casemates of the officers’ club fre not destitute of weapons, though It is true that the arms gathered with- In the club rooms are more antiquated and less effective than were the old cannon whose places they have nsurped. There are trophies here from many battleflelds—the bows, spears and arrows of the Sloux, the Kiowa and the Apache; the bolo of the Moro; the ancient Chinese field pleces taken at Tlentsin, and the mod- ern but now disused Mausers from the field of Santiago. With his kinsmen grouped walling about his bier, Joseph Ell, king of gypsy tribes in North America, lay in the incense scented dusk of a dingy pool room in Detrolt. From the far West his people had brought the king to the skilled surgeons of Detroit. The staffs of a half dozen hospitals, moved strangely by the grief of the Romany tribe, more used to song than to wall- ing, to laughter than to tears, had tried in vain to save the life of the King. He was taken by his people, un- der the guidance of Peter Ell, his éld- est brother and the new king, to Chi- cago to be lald In the tomb of his fath- er, former occupant of the throne, Wanted Uast lmnression.

THE BLACK BELT AND THE SOLID SOUTH. THE experts are still at work, and in a current number of the Literary Digest a laborious effort is made to prove that the so-called black belt of the South is fading rapidly through immigration to the North and West, and that as a consequence such a thing as a Solid South will eventually be only a matter of history. There is a great deal more sentimentalism about this than truth, and the wish may be father to the thought in both conjectures. It is undoubtedly true that a very marked exodus of Negroes from the South has taken place in recent years, and no student of political economy and history will deny that it is for the Negro's good. A more equal distribution of the race throughout states of the North and West prompted and encouraged by industrial opportunities rather than by the glare of bright lights in a great city is a much-devoutly hoped-for consummation. The article referred to in the Literary Digest deplores the tendency of the Negro to avoid the farm once he leaves the South. There is much reason for this, as the farming experience of the Negro in the South has been anything but sweet. He comes to the North a burnt child so far as agriculture is concerned. And yet, we have long felt that city life in the main was not conducive to the very best development of citizenship, especially for those of the South who escape the yoke of oppression and plunge almost simultaneously into a larger freedom. But a toning down of the so-called black belt or its gradual fading away will have but little effect on the political attitude of the South. Steeped in ignorance and prejudice, with no desire to see a better light, the South will remain solidly Democratic for a period much longer than the existence of the black belt. There is a possibility of at some time solving the economic problems of the South, but there is no possibility that the present generation will even see a change in its political leanings. THE BEAM AND THE MOTE. WE are sometimes called a complaining race, that is we are often loud in our protestations against existing conditions without offering an adequate plan for improvement. The object of our plaint for the most part is the American white man and it must be admitted in perfect fairness that there exists ample ground for much that we complain of. But no people through whatever provocation can sustain itself by an eternal search for the beam in the eye of the other fellow with the utter forgetfulness of a possible existence of the mote in their own eye. Know Then Thyself. We wonder if the Negro really studies the Negro from every angle, seeks to know fully of his mannerisms, his characteristics and his real worth? Do we seek to learn any more about him than what we are anxious to tell the "white folks" to his own detriment and disadvantage? Do we stop for a real heart to heart talk with ourselves, or stand scrutinizingly before the mirror of self contemplation? If so, what is revealed to us? As Others See Us. Bobbie Burns once quaintly said, "Would to God the gift wa gle us, to see ourselves as iters see us." The Negro has no need of putting forth an extra effort to attract attention to himself when in public, but many of our young men and young ladies seem to over look that fact. Good manners, modesty and decent behavior serve to elevate the individual and win deserved public esteem no matter where they are practiced. But there comes to us from a reliable source a story of rowdyism and boisterous conduct by some of our young people on a street car last week that caused much hurtful comment among the white passengers and great embarrassment to the colored passengers who possessed a degree of race pride. Loud laughter, coarse and vulgar talk was indulged in to a degree that was disgusting. Where Lies the Blame. Something is wrong in home training and in lessons of civic pride when our young people go to such extremes in public unchecked. And in other places than upon the street cars this condition is noted. There are many places in the five point district where ladies and gentlemen of refinement dread to enter or pass because of a seeming lack of decency or good morals on the part of many of those who frequent them. Many faces of young boys coming from good families are seen too often in some of the five point resorts, they are becoming too common. Therefore it comes of ill grace for us to constantly offer complaint as to mistreatment or discrimination on the part of white citizens until we have undertaken a thorough house cleaning within our own castle. We deplore and properly so, the tendency of the press to hold us up to the ridicule and scorn of the public, always painting in lurid colors our bad features and seldom making mention our better virtues. But are wholly blameless in the matter. Our Leaders Sincere For the most part our leaders are absolutely sincere, and by leaders we mean those large hearted men and women of Denver who are always ready to respond to any call that will be of benefit to the race. We mean that class of citizens whose personal magnetism lift them to the fore-front on all public questions, whether they will have it so or not. So we repeat it as our belief that our leaders are scrupulously conscientious and sincere. But there is more need of the personal contact. Formative influences that go to mould character and habits must be applied first of all in the home, Good manners and respect for others unless first grounded in the hearts of the young around the home fire-side will never be manifest any other place to an appreciable degree. Denver is blessed with an able pulp, the club life reaches out as far here as in any city in the country, our civic organizations are high of aim and purpose, but these do not reach the suggested evil. Plain, hard headed facts must be driven home to the hearts of all, old and young alike that respectability in public is one of the very first requisites of good citizenship. Respect for others. There is no greater folly than for one to feel that a seat purchased in the gallery of the Orpheum carries with it a privilege to become a public nuisance and cause other members of the race to hang their heads in shame. The color of your skin alone will attract sufficient attention when on a street car without the aid of loud laughter and disgusting profanity. To attend a lecture or church services and indulge in constant whispering and noise-making without regard for the rights of others who may be attending for more sacred reasons is the very acuse of ill breeding. Therefore it would seem that a large work is cut out for us here in Denver. Let us keep up the good fight against the inequalities of living conditions, as well as for the fuller enjoyment of our civil and political liberty. But let us be just as zealous and alert in our effort to improve the standard of public actions among many of those of our race who just now cause our pride to suffer and our hearts to ache. Maintaining Protection as a National Policy and Not as a Sectional One By SENATOR P. J. McCUMBER of North Dakota. In reading some of the eastern press comments pertaining to the finance committee, I have been some what surprised at the expression of fear sometimes indicated that the increasing membership of that committee from the western section of the country, and the increasing activities of western senators in shaping legislation, might possibly endanger the stability of the country and weaken the principle of protection to our American industries, a policy upon which depend in a great degree the prosperity of the people and the consequent stability of our institutions. In reading some of the eastern press comments pertaining to the finance committee, I have been somewhat surprised at the expression of fear sometimes indicated that the increasing membership of that committee from the western section of the country, and the increasing activities of western senators in shaping legislation, might possibly endanger the stability of the country and weaken the principle of protection to our American industries, a policy upon which depend in a great degree the prosperity of the people and the consequent stability of our institutions. This fear seems to be based upon the assumption that there are some radical differences between the interests of the East and those of the West. I fail to recognize any differences. Whatever may be the provincial ideas of some few of the people of either section, the great mass of thinking persons know that their interests are concurrent. We are one country and one people. The vitalizing blood of commerce must flow with equal freedom through the whole body politic. We are a big country, and it is a long distance from the Atlantic to the Pacific. We of the West for many years have been trying to adjust our lenses to enable us to see and understand the eastern situation. From what I have read of late in some of our metropolitan dailies of the Atlantic states, I think we may be excused if we mildly suggest to some of them that they so adjust their optics as to see not only over the Alleghenies but also that vast empire watered by the Mississippi and its tributaries, and that further region reaching to our Pacific coast. Come what will, we must maintain the protective policy in this country. But we must maintain it as a national policy and not as a sectional one. While it is impossible, by reason of varying conditions, to give every commodity exactly the same degree of protection, we should measure up to that standard just as nearly as we can. The Jazz Is No Dance Music; There Is Nothing of Grace or Beauty in Jazz By JUDGE ARNOLD HEAP, Chicago Morals Court. I find this woman, a professional dancer in a cabaret, guilty of improper performances and fine her $200. The abdominal muscle dancer and the shimmyite must go. You can do anything while listening to jazz music. The jazz is no dance music. There is no grace or beauty in jazz. You do not find the activity, the physical and mental exhilaration of the dance as manifested by our fathers and mothers, where real music was produced by which to dance. This case smacks of the barbarism of the jungle. The very music was obscene. The evil genius of this place has artfully combined the grossness of primitive sensuality with the gilded refinement of modern licentiousness. This cafe was open to the public, an admission fee was charged and a city license must have been obtained to conduct it, yet we find it running for months, catering to the worst and basest of human passions. That these things happen in the fourth largest city in the world, in a so-called civilized community, where decency and religion are presumed to be supreme, must cause the average Chicagoan to hang his head. ```markdown ``` The Insects Have Now Developed Into the Most Powerful Rival of Man The articulates have in the course of the ages been modified and perfected in their structure and in their biology until their many appendages have become perfect tools adapted in the most complete way to the needs of the species; until their power of existing and of multiplying enormously under the most extraordinary variety of conditions, of subsisting successfully upon an extraordinary variety of food, has become so perfected and their instincts have become so developed that the culminating type, the insects, has become the most powerful rival of the culminating vertebrate type, man. Now, this is not recognized to the full by people in general—it is not realized by the biologists themselves. We appreciate the fact that agriculture suffers enormously, since insects need our farm products and compel us to share with them. We are just beginning to appreciate that directly and indirectly insects cause a tremendous loss of human life through the diseases that they carry. But apart from these two generalizations we do not realize that insects are working against us in a host of ways, sometimes obviously, more often in unseen ways, and that an enormous fight is on our hands. The Real Cure, So Old-Fashioned and Readily Within Our Reach, Is Work By JOHN W. WEEKS, Secretary of War. Citizens and governments have been wildly grasping at every suggested cure for their troubles, but the world has gradually learned after some painful experiments with these panaceas that the only remedy for its disease was time and work. The great need for the present emergency is clear thinking; basing our action on facts, not fancies; putting our faith in work instead of words; relying on accomplishments, not promises; and not mistaking license for liberty. The world is surfeited with cure-alls offered by irresponsibles. These quack political doctors proclaim loudly and promise much. They even devise remarkable cures for ills that do not exist. The real cure, however, is so old-fashioned and so readily within our reach that some of us fail to recognize it. It is work. The people who are recovering most rapidly from the effects of the war are those who are working instead of talking, who are practicing economy instead of indulging in extravagance; and in putting their own houses in order they are solving the problems confronting their country. ```markdown ``` COLORADO STATESMAN --- The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West --- ARELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations.

Something new! Something significant!—Interesting! P A joint resolution (S. J. Res. 154) "creating the President's Forest within the present Kaibab National forest, Arizona," has been introduced by Senator Reed Smoot of Utah and referred to the committee on public lands and surveys. The resolution, after defining the boundaries, provides that the land and timber "are hereby withdrawn from settlement, location, occupancy, grazing or disposal under the laws of the United States and dedicated and set apart as a game sanctuary and forest preserve for the benefit and enjoyment of the people, and shall hereafter be known as the President's Forest." "The President's Forest," if this resolution is passed by both houses, will therefore be the name of approximately 500,000 acres of timber forever set aside for the people and forever barred to purchaser, homesteader, miner, stockman, lumberman, resident, hunter and trapper. Under the present form of the resolution control will remain in the forest service of the Agricultural department, which controls the Kalibab National forest and all national forests. To all intents and purposes the forest will be a part of the Grand Canyon National park, which runs into it on the south and is in charge of the national park service of the Interior department. So "The President's Forest," is something new. The name, for one thing, is new, And why "The President's Forest?" Because the United States is a nation governed by laws rather than by men. Presidents come and presidents go. As long as there is a United States there will be a president. And as long as there is a president there will be "The President's Forest." And "The President's Forest" is new in form too. There's nothing just like it. It's nearest in form to a national park. It has size, majesty and beauty. Private and commercial interests are barred. It is a game sanctuary. It is purely "for the benefit and enjoyment of the people." All of which closely describe a national park. Certainly it is far removed in form from a national forest. The national forests, as established by law, are purely commercial and industrial institutions for the application for profit of scientific lumbering and grazing to the nation's woodlots, though as a matter of fact there is instead of a profit an annual deficit of a million and more and the forest service is exploiting the national forests as recreational rivals to national parks. Anyway, "The President's Forest" will be one forest where the forest service cannot insist upon trying to combine cattle and campers, wood-choppers and tree-lovers, sheep and tourists. Cattle in a wild beauty spot are a calamity; sheep are a catastrophe. The movement to create "The President's Forest" has a significance that gladdens the nature-lover's heart. It betokens an increasing national appreciation of the value of scenery as a natural resource, as a national asset. It betokens an increasing national consciousness that it is not well to lay the ax to every forest, to turn the cattle and sheep loose on the shrubs and flowers of every wild beauty spot. The Kalabab National forest is approximately 40 miles square, and contains 1,072,900 acres. It stands on the Kalabab plateau, which rises up from the desert that surrounds it on the north, east and west and slopes down to 8,000 feet at the North rim of the Grand canyon. "The President's Forest" is the east half of the Katibab National forest. The northwest part of "The President's Forest" shoulders up on to Buckskin mountain. So there are mountains and valleys covered with gnarled one-seeded juniper and pinon and with majestic western yellow pine which are three and four feet through and rise 100 feet. There is some Douglas fir and some spruce. Ravines are clad with the lighter green of the aspen which changes to vivid yellow, gold and red in the fall. In the little parks within the forest the trees stop half-way down the rimming slopes and leave room for white clover, grass and ENTRANCE TO ZION Photo by National Park Service THE MIDDLE OF THE MOUNTAIN flowers and for wild strawberries about a spring. This vast, remote, rugged, heavily-timbered Kalabab National forest is still a wild place in spite of the fact that thousands of cattle and sheep have been grazing in it for years. It is still so wild that there are at least 10,000 black-tail deer in it, though they shrink in disgust from the cattle and sheep. There are many mountain lions that live on the deer. This is the way Senator Smoot's joint resolution came to be introduced: Stephen T. Mather, director of the national park service, drove from the north through the Kalabab National forest to the North Rim of the Grand canyon. Upon his return to Washington he wrote the following letter to President Harding: Dear Mr. President: Last summer I visited the wonderful country at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and was profoundly impressed with the splendid forest and the extraordinary display of wild life to be found there. This region has been so isolated from transportation centers that it has remained almost untouched, and is one of the very largest areas of virgin forest in the country. It is reliably estimated that there are some thirteen thousand deer in the Kalabar National forest. He was accompanied by Mr. Emerson Hough, the well-known writer, who suggested for this splendid tract the name of "The President's Forest." A few weeks later in Los Angeles I met Mr. E. J. Marshall, president of the Grand Canyon Cattle company, the corporation which has conducted cattle grazing operations in this forest for a number of years, and was very much gratified to find a ready and enthusiastic response to the idea of maintaining this region solely as a game preserve and for public enjoyment. Since then he has very generously made the offer which I have the honor of transmitting to you in the accompanying letter. This offer means a very real sacrifice on the part of the Grand Canyon Cattle company in abandoning the improvements which they make and relinquishing the prospect of a considerable profit from their operations. Marshall's other interests, however, are considerable, and he cheerfully makes this sacrifice in a truly public-spirited manner. May I express the hope, Mr. President, that you may find an opportunity of visiting the President's Forest yourself and feeling the inspiration of its vastness and unspoiled beauty. The letter of Mr. Marshall to President Harding is in part as follows: The Grand Canyon Cattle company, a California corporation, has been operating here for a number of years under leases from the United States forest service. Canyon has made extensive and willeful improvements, particularly in the development of water supply and the erection of stone cattle camp buildings. The company owns certain patented tracts of land within the boundaries of the forest reservation and several tracts of located script lands in the immediate vicinity. At the present time we are grazing a herd of breeding cattle, numbering about 4,500 head, under permit from the forest service. We desire to register our willingness to vacate and abandon the Grand Canyon forest reservation and the public land immediately adjoining to the east thereof, recognizing that by so doing the purposes of President Roosevelt in establishing a game preserve here could be more completely fulfilled, and making the entire region available for the public enjoyment. Our only request is that a reasonable time be given the company to dispose of and move its livestock and equipment to another location, and that our action such grazing permits be not hereafter to other livestock interests in the area now covered by our permit. Arrangements have been made through private individuals for acquiring the company's patented land and equipment to the United States without cost to the government. It was the original suggestion that the President should create "The President's Forest" by executive order. The President however, preferred action by congress to insure permanency. Hence the joint resolution. Senator Smoot was pleased to introduce the resolution. Utah is tremendously interested in the exploitation of the region north of the Grand canyon. Senator Smoot says it is a "wonderland." It is indeed—a land of scenic beauties, of geological marvels, of strange contrasts, of romantic history. The High plateau of Utah is divided by canyons into nine distinct plateaus which drop the surface in successive cliffs from nearly the summit-level of the Wasatch mountains to the desert out of which rises the Kalabab plateau. These cliffs expose in turn strata representing many millions of years of world-building. They curve and twist in fantastic outlines. They take every possible erosional form. They literally run the gamut of color and shade and tint. There is no space here for detailed description of the Pink cliff, the White cliff and the Vermilion cliff; of the great Hurricane fault, the Natural bridges and the Rainbow bridge; of the Painted desert; of Lee's ferry across the Colorado, where John D. Lee hid out for 20 years after the Mountain Meadows massacre; of Utah's "Dixie", land of cotton and semi-tropical fruits; of the variegated hills of sediment from a prehistoric sea along the Parahi river where are gold and free mercury. Zlon National park—a deep, many-colored gorge cut in the plateau by the Rio Virgin—is famous. Cedar breaks, a marvel of erosional forms and stratified color, is yet to be seen by the public. Bryce canyon, a thousand-foot niche in the top of the Pink cliff, an amphitheater-like canyon showing an endless variety of erosional forms painted in every color, shade and tint of the artist's palette, is one of the most gorgeous spectacles of the world. Southern Utah and northern Arizona are working together to exploit this land of wonders. A branch railroad is likely to be run from Lund to Cedar City; the steel may be extended from Marysvale to Panguitch. Cedar breaks, Bryce canyon, Zlon and "The President's Forest" are to be connected by automobile highways over the routes indicated by the broken lines, according to present plans. A bridge across the Colorado at Lee's ferry is planned. Two of the Colorado-Utah highways to be constructed by Colorado under the federal aid plan will strike southern Utah, thus connecting this region with Mesa Verde and Rocky Mountain National parks. There is a bill in congress to make Bryce canyon the Utah National park. It is more likely to be made a state park. Cedar breaks may be added to Zion National park. So there will soon be thousands of tourists pushing from the north to the North Rim—there were 1,200 last season. And now that the Kalabb Suspension bridge has been built across the Colorado in the Grand canyon a large proportion of South Rim visitors—of whom there were 66,218 last year—will cross to the North Rim. On the North Rim there is scant room for the public within the national park lines. Hence the need of "The President's Forest." "In these circumstances," asks Mr. Average Man, "why not make 'The President's Forest' a part of the Grand Canyon National park?" "Because it can't be done," answers the experienced national park enthusiast, "at least not now. The people will be lucky to muster enough votes in congress to get the joint resolution through. The Agricultural department and the forest service as usual would fight to the last ditch to prevent the transfer of national forest land to a national park and the Interior department and the national park service. Huh! Didn't Theodore Roosevelt make the Grand canyon a national monument January 11, 1908, with the idea that it would be made a national park at once in response to the nation-wide demand? But the monument was put in charge of the Agricultural department instead of being transferred to the Interior department. And didn't it take the people just eleven years, one month and fifteen days from January 11, 1908, to get their Grand Canyon National park? Verb. sap.1." One enthusiast writes of "The President's Forest" as "the grandest natural work of Almighty God now left in all the world." Suffice it to say that as a forest it is a worthy companion to the Grand Canyon—the Canyon of Canyons! NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS The Capital Growing Wickeder Yearly Work Stopped on Building Battleships Work Stopped on Building Battleships Definite Moves Toward World Peace Definite Moves Toward World Peace Roosevelt-Sequoia Park Bill Amended PROGRESS OF CRIME ETC IN CAPITAL WICKED indeed is the capital these days—and growing wickeder right along. This is the sadder for the reason that the District of Columbia is under the government of congress itself. Anyway, Representative Tinkham of Massachusetts held forth at length the other day on this discouraging situation and here's the way he began: Mr. Tinkham, Mr. Chairman, what I have to say might well be entitled "The progress in crime, social disintegration, or degeneracy of the capital of a great nation." The District of Columbia in 1910 had a population of 331,009 people and in 1920 a population of 437,571, an increase in the 10-year period of 32.2 per cent. It has been estimated that there has been a decrease in the population since the 1920 census of about PRESIDENT HARDING is going to get practical results from the Washington conference on limitation of armament at once. Without waiting for ratification of the naval limitation treaty, the President already has directed that arrangements be made for stopping all work and further expenditure of money on ships which are now under construction and which are to be scrapped under the treaty. This action, it is said by naval experts, will accomplish a saving to taxpayers of approximately $5,000,000 a month. The Executive has authority to hold up the expenditure without legislative action. He believes the senate will ratify the naval treaty, and wants to set an example to other nations by instituting immediately some of the economies made possible under the naval convention. The President has asked Secretary Denby for a report on the condition of ships under construction which are doomed under the treaty and he will issue a definite order for the cessation of work. Of course no completed ships can be scrapped, it was explained, until the naval treaty has been ratified by all NATIONS' TREATIES TO PREVENT FUTURE CONFLICTS WASHINGTON. — The conference resulted in definite moves toward world peace, including these: A ten year quadruple treaty between the United States, Great Britain, France, and Japan, pledging the powers to respect each others' territory in the Pacific and calling for a conference of nations when the peace of the Pacific region is threatened, this compact to abrogate the long standing Anglo-Japan alliance. A five-power treaty by the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy, and Japan, limiting the size of their navies; scrapping all building programs and nearly 850,000 tons of battleships, the pact to run for fifteen years. THE Barbour bill for the creation of the Roosevelt-Sequoia National park in the Sierra of California has been amended. Representative Barbour did it himself after hearing from his district that the great majority of his constituents wanted what President William F. Bade of the Sierra club happily calls a "powerproof" park. As amended the bill provides for a park closed to waterpower projects, as are all the existing national parks. In this satisfactory shape the committee favorably reported it. This wholesome outcome of campaign preliminaries was achieved by hard work in California, this wise: Stephen T. Mather, director of the National Park service, persuaded local power companies that the claims of the Kings River valleys for parkhood were greater than for power. The Sierra Club of California won the support of many influential men of the state, and particularly in Mr. Barbour's district, for a complete-conserved park. The people of the country are in great majority for the complete conservation of their national parks. So it became a matter of bringing this public sentiment to the attention of congress. The National Parks associa- 40,000 persons up to January 1, 1922. In the District of Columbia there are two courts where crimes are recorded. One is the police court of the District of Columbia, which has two branches, one known as the United States branch and the other as the District branch, each having congcurrent jurisdiction. The other court is the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, to which reports are made by a grand jury after indictment. This is the court where major crimes are recorded. The official records show that in 1910 the total number of cases recorded in both branches of the police court of the District of Columbia was 22,779, and in 1920, 42,308, or an increase of 85.7 per cent, whereas in the same period the population had increased only 32.2 per cent. The total number of cases recorded in both branches of the police court of the District of Columbia in 1921 were 47,736, an increase of 12.9 per cent over the number in 1920, the previous year, with an estimated population of 40,000 less than in the previous year, this latter number of cases being an increase of 100.9 per cent over the number of cases recorded in both branches of the police court of the District of Columbia in 1910. HARDING TO SAVE $5,000,000 A MONTH ON SHIPS TAX PAYER signatorles and been proclaimed in force. A saving of about $200,000,000 for the United States on the present building program of the navy will result. High naval officials, however, claimed the board's estimates were too high, as the scrapping of ships now under construction would involve the payment of claims to the builders which might offset a considerable portion of the savings resulting from halting the building program. Limitation of armaments will effect immediately, the board declared, approximately equal savings in the United States, England, and Japan. In France and Italy, however, no increase in naval armaments had been contemplated.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) It admits just sufficient air to supply most that admitted through the dry The Average house owner burns too much coal, principally because he does not know how to regulate his heater, say engineers of the United States Department of Agriculture in Farmers' Bulletin 1194, "Operating Home-Heating Plant," published by the department. Many rural homes are now provided with furnaces, and the publication was prepared as a guide to their efficient operation, particularly in getting the most heat out of the fuel used and in making the home as healthful as possible. The satisfactory and efficient heating of homes, according to the bulletin, requires that the chimney flue be of proper size and in the proper place, that the proper heating equipment be installed correctly, that the plant be understood thoroughly and operated so that it gives the most heat from the fuel consumed, that the house be constructed so that the heat is held in, that the air be kept moist, and that enough fresh air be admitted either continuously or from time to time to avoid the discomfort or unhealthful conditions due to accumulation of carbonic-acid gas. In selecting fuel, the bulletin suggests that different kinds and sizes of coal should be tried out. Should Be Properly Installed. The best and highest-priced heater improperly installed may give less satisfaction than the poorest and cheapest put in correctly, says the bulletin. For this reason a man known to understand his business should install the plant. In selecting the furnace, consult owners of homes who have had experience in operating furnaces of different types. Practically all heating plants have four dampers. A draft damper in the door of the ash pit is opened to admit air through the fire, which causes it to burn rapidly. A check damper located in the smoke pipe is opened to admit cold air into the flue, thus interfering with the draft and retarding the burning of fuel in the heater. The damper located in the feed door is used for the same purpose. Through it cold air is admitted directly over the fire, and if opened wide it acts as a check. When regulated properly CALORIMETER SHOWS HARDEST HOME WORK Washing, Sweeping and Scrubbing Most Laborious. Series of Experiments Made on Energy Expended by Woman in Performance of Household Tasks —Ways of Lightening. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) It does not require a laboratory experiment to convince any woman that washing and scrubbing are about the hardest work she has to do; but it will be interesting to many housekeepers to know the order in which their tasks rank when tested under laboratory conditions. For this purpose a specially designed respiration calorimeter was used by the United States Department of Agriculture. The results were measured in calories, for a series of 53 experiments on energy expenditure in the performance of household tasks. It was found that such light tasks as sewing, crocheting, knitting, darning, and embroidering required an average expenditure of nine calories per hour more than that when the same subject was sitting quietly in a chair. Washing, sweeping, and scrubbing floors caused an increased energy expenditure of about fifty calories per hour over the expenditure at rest. Ironing, dressing a child, and dishwashing each required about twenty-four calories per hour. Ways of lightening the labor of various household tasks were also studied. It was found, for example, that when the height of the dishwashing table was varied the energy expenditure varied. If the subject worked in a comfortable position the expenditure of energy was 21 calories an hour. It was 25 calories when the wash pan was set too high so that her arms were raised during work, and 30 calories when she was obliged to bend over. It admits just sufficient air to supplement that admitted through the draft damper and causes more perfect combustion of the fuel. The smokepipe damper is located between the furnace and the check draft and can be used to control the draft above the fuel in windy weather or at night. Ashes should not be permitted to accumulate in the ash pit, as this retards the draft and the heat causes the grate bars to become warped and bent. As a rule it is not necessary to shake down the ashes more than once or twice a day, except in very cold weather, and shaking should be stopped as soon as live sparks begin to fall into the ash pit. In mild weather coal can be saved by permitting an accumulation of ashes in the grate. Sealing Cracks Saves Heat. It is economy to seal the cracks about doors and windows with weather strips, and where the weather is unusually cold, storm sash is recommended. With a wind velocity of 15 miles an hour a crack of three-thirty-seconds of an inch, which is much less than the average for doors and windows, permits the passage of about $ \frac{1}{2} $ cubic feet of air a minute for every lineal foot. An ordinary double-sash window (36 inches wide and 72 inches high) would thus admit 30 cubic feet of air a minute. In a room 10 feet wide by 20 feet long, having two windows of this kind, there would be required approximately 80 per cent more heat units to heat it properly than if the entrance of the air was controlled and a complete change allowed once every hour. In addition to maintaining a proper temperature, the moisture present in the air is a great factor in heating homes. The water pan in the furnace should always be kept filled, and other means provided for the evaporation of water in the living room. Not only are rooms in which the air has a high percentage of moisture more economically heated, but living conditions are more healthful. Copies of the bulletin may be had upon request of the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C.

Molasses Cake.—Take one-half cupful of brown sugar, one-half cupful of New Orleans molasses, one-third of a cupful of cold water, one egg, one-teaspoonful of soda, two tablespoonfuls of butter and flour to make a batter that drops like a vell from the spoon. Bake in layers and use the following for filling: Take one-third of a cupful brown sugar, boil to a sirup with three tablespoonfuls of water, pour this when thick over the beaten white of an egg, whip until cool; add one-half cupful of chopped raisins. I wish I had my neighbor's child for just six weeks or so; I'd like to try to teach him all the things he ought to know, To guide his little footsteps in the way that he should go. I cannot try my theories out upon my own dear three, For deeply I regret to state that they are "on to me"; They know I'm never quite so fierce as I intend to be! -Marian Van Buren Cleveland. DELICIOUS PINEAPPLE WAYS Prepare the usual cottage pudding, baking in a sheet; the mixture is a simple, plain cake recipe. Cut in squares while hot and serve with: Pineapple Sauce. — Mix together one-half cupful sugar and one tablespoonful saple, plant cake recipe. Cut in squares while hot and serve with: Pineapple Sauce.—Mix together one-half cupful sugar and one tablespoonful of flour; when well blended pour over this one cupful of boiling hot pineapple juice and cook long enough to cook the starch in the flour; add a pinch of salt and a generous tablespoonful of butter; serve poured over each square of pudding.

Dip in the sirup, drain and place on well buttered plates until cold. Wrap each in waxed paper. Nellie Maxwell Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union. What do you think the wind says as it whistles in the sky, Making the dead leaves dance and spin, throwing them up on high; What does it say in the branches, tossing them to and fro? "Come out and play," it whistles, as the seasons come and go. -M. D. Cole. TASTY GOOD THINGS A cottage pudding is well liked out usually served with a sweet sauce or better with a vinegar or lemon sauce; try it by baking it in gem pans and cover each with sliced bananas and heap over it a spoonful of whipped cream. Strawberries, peaches or any canned fruit may be used if the fresh is not SALT Glazed Apricot Rolls.—Take two dozen dried apricots, stretch and pull until there are no rolled edges; if necessary trim the edges with the scissors. Soak in water five minutes, then dry thoroughly and roll into small round rolls. Add one-half cupful of water to one cupful of sugar; when well dissolved, add one-fourth of a teaspoonful of cream of tartar and boll until the sirup is a light straw color. Remove the pan at once and set into cold water to stop the cooking. Place the pan over hot water while dipping the apricots on a hat pin or long fork; remove to a waxed paper to chill. Wrap each in waxed paper. Prune and Apple Tart.—Fill a deep baking dish with sliced apples, sugar, well washed and soaked prunes, heaping the fruit well up in the center. Cover with pastry, brush with beaten egg or milk, score with a knife and bake in a moderately hot oven for three-quarters of an hour. Sprinkle with sugar, surround with a paper frill or place on a dolly and serve cold with cream. If things don't go to suit you, What use to frown and sigh? You can't frown back the sunshine That's missing from the sky, Nor frown away the winter In wishing it were spring. The wisest thing to do, my friend, Is just keep sweet—and sing! —Eben Rexford. SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS This is the time of the year when scrape is enjoyed. It may be pre- pared of cold roast of pork, pork chops or bits of the scraps left from trying out lard. # Scrapple.—Cook cornmeal in the broth left from a piece of bolled pork, or clear water may be used, adding a cupful or more of chopped, cooked bits of pork to the mush as it is turned out into the molds. When ready to serve cut in slices and fry in a little fat. Carrot Pie.—Take two and one-half cupfuls of cooked and mashed carrots, add one egg, two tablespoonfuls of flour sifted with one and one-half teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one-half cupful each of sugar and molasses, two teaspoonfuls of clinnamon, salt to taste and one half-teaspoonful of ginger, with one cupful of milk. Cook in a double boiler until thick. Cool and spread in a baked shell. Swedish Wafers.—Take one-third of a cupful of butter, one cupful of sugar, one egg, one-fourth of a cupful of milk, one and one-half cupfuls of flour, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one and one-fourth teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one teaspoonful of vanilla, one-fourth of a cupful of chopped almonds and one square of chocolate. Cream the butter, add the sugar gradually, then the egg well beaten, the flour sifted with the dry ingredients and the milk alternately with the flour. Chill, spread on a buttered sheet, sprinkle with nuts and bake. Cut in strips one by three inches. Almond Macaroons.—To the beaten whites of six eggs add eight ounces of blanched and powdered almonds. With the yolks of the eggs beat one pound of powdered sugar, add the grated rind of two lemons and a little sliced citron and one-fourth pound of flour, mix well together, beat lightly into this the almond whip, drop from a spoon upon greased paper, and bake in a moderate oven until done. Nellie Maxwell The Savage Pike. When bathing in Frensham pond, Surrey, Miss Shallis of Aldershot was bitten by a large pike on the leg, its teeth making deep cuts. "When the monster darted toward me with its mouth open it looked like a shark," said Miss Shallis, "and I was so frightened when it bit my leg that I had difficulty in shouting for assistance."-London Daily Mail. Aluminum. Aluminum is the most abundant metallic element in existence. Although it is more abundant than iron, it has not been used until the last 25 years, for it is found locked up so tight with oxygen that only the electric furnace can easily separate the two elements. It is an essential constituent of nearly all rocks except limestone and sandstone—Dearborn Independent. For Ladies' and Gents' Tailoring, See H. ANDERSON Cleaning, Pressing and Repairing.
