LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY PROMINENT AMERICANS COMMEND BOOKER T. WASHINGTON MEMORIAL TO BE UNVEILED AT TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE APRIL 5TH VOL. XXVIII. PROMINENT AMERICAN BOOKER T. WASH MEMORIAL TO TUSKEGEE IN TUSKEGEE Institute, Alabama, March 14th.—Honorable Newton D. Baker, former secretary of war, in a letter to Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, says: "If one looks back twenty-five years, he can not fail to realize that the situation of the Negro in the United States is immeasurably better than it was. I doubt whether any single factor has contributed so much to the better situation as did the life work, example and teaching of Booker Washington." Honorable Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., assistant secretary of the navy, in commenting upon the unveiling of the memorial, says of Booker T. Washington that "he was really a great man because he combined practical achievement with idealism." Honorable Josephus Daniels, former secretary of the navy, is "sure that the people of the whole country of all creeds and races will be interested in the unveiling of the statue to Booker T. Washington. His career illustrates the possibilities open to the men of his race in the South. * * * Booker T. Washington looked for development for his race from friendly relations among the white people, among whom they dwelt and from whom he always secured co-operation. His statue will, therefore, stand for better understanding between the races and better advantages for his own race." Honorable Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, says: "I do not hesitate to say that Booker Washington stands pre-eminent as having rendered the most conspicuous service of any member of his race, not only in improving the condition of the race, but in bringing about such an understanding between the two races as is essential to the welfare of both." The memorial, which costs about $25,000, and is the gift of the colored people to America, represents individual contributions from more than 50,000 colored people. This devotion, on the part of the colored people themselves to the ideals for which Booker T. Washington stood, is also shown in the comment of Ray Stannard Baker, who says: "Wherever in the South, I found a prosperous Negro enterprise, a thriving business place, a good home, there I was almost sure to find Booker T. Washington's picture over the fire-place or a little framed motto expressing his gospel of work and service." African Educational Commission THE RETURN to this country of the American members of the African Educational Commission, African Educational Commission, together with their preliminary reports and statements, both in Europe and the United States, and the reception given these by the various governments and missionary societies interested, emphasizes the significance of this well-planned and executed tour of inspection of present educational conditions among the natives of Africa. In its inception the result of State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House co-operation between the Phelps-Stokes fund and the leading missionary societies of the United States and Europe, as well as the governments controlling colonies in Africa, it was carried on by its chairman, Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, educational director of the Phelps-Stokes fund, and his associates, in the same spirit of sympathetic co-operation. This trip, which, beginning with Sierra Leone, extended all along the west coast to South Africa and far into the interior, including 2,500 miles down the Congo, occupied ten months. It is interesting to note that already the Belgian colonial office has had the commission's report translated into French and published complete without change, and that the missionary conference on the Congo Belge has adopted as a whole every recommendation made. Also there has been an educational awakening in every African colony visited by the commission. Government directors and representatives of mission boards are on the way to this country, and promising natives will be sent here during the next year to attend selected schools.—Southern Workman. Expenditure of Loan Under Our Supervision Washington, D. C.—While no official statement has been made concerning the details of the agreement accompanying the loan of $5,000,000 to Liberia, the understanding has been that this government would have supervision over the expenditure of the loan and measures for amortization. British financial interests for a long time have been offering Liberia more liberal terms for a similar loan. One reason for the recent trip of President King of Liberia to the United States was to attempt to soften our terms. Atlantic City to Have Colored Policewoman Atlantic City to Have Colored Policewoman Atlantic City, N. J.—It will soon be Atlantic City's boast that it has the only Negro policewoman in the United States, according to former Senator Emerson L. Richards, Republican leader here. Mr. Richards said the announcement of the appointment will be made in a couple of days. "Will she censor the bathing costumes?" he was asked. "Her duties will be the same as any other police officer. She will not have any special province," he replied. The name of the woman has not been made known as yet. Miss Clara Fish has been hired to teach the Hook school the coming year. "Ignorance should a-bait in that neighborhood," comments a shameless punster.—Boston Transcript. A School of Fire. ABLE PEOPLE'S PA ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, World's Wealthiest Colored Woman Deserts Cabin LILLIE TAYLOR RECENTLY WON MILLIONS IN LOUISIANA COURT SUIT. Dallas, Texas, March 3.—Mystery today 'surrounded the whereabouts of Miss Lillie Taylor, reputed to be the richest colored woman in the world. Her friends here said they did not know whether she was "working out" or whether she had come to Shreveport to confer with her attorney following the decision handed down in the New Orleans court, upholding her claim to valuable Louisiana oil lands. The decision which found Miss Taylor the lawful heir of Lona McGee, was the last step in the long court fight to give the heiress her fortune. Valuable Lands Involved Variable Lands Involved. The lands involved are in the Homer, La., oil fields in Glaibourne Parish and are valued at approximately $15,000,000. It is also understood that Miss Taylor will enter claim for several million dollars from the Gulf Refining Company, which is alleged to have been taking oil from her land under the contesting least. Miss Taylor is 25 and unmarried. Members of the family she boards with here, professed ignorance concerning her. They declared they knew that she was fighting for some oil land, but said that she had never received a cent of money from it. Has Been Working Out. She has been working as a cleaning woman in "white folks" homes" recently and it was believed possible she was out on a cleaning job today. The house where Miss Taylor lives here is a typical shack. It is a small frame dwelling in a dilapidated condition, sitting on a muddy road. Neighbors declared today that Miss Taylor was very reticent about her own affairs and never smoke of her oil lands. "Miss Taylor minded her affairs and I minded mine," was the way one woman put it. Gov. Davis Buys Drugs From Negro Druggist Natchez, Miss.—That there is no "color line" in drugs is evidenced by the fact that all of the pharmaceutical supplies purchased by Gov. Harry L Davis for use of his family at the Executive Mansion are secured from the Community Pharmacy at Long and Lexington avenues, owned and conducted by a competent young Negro druggist, Waldo Tyler. A Lesson From the Ads. The charm of color in advertisements makes one realize that the simple everyday recipes can be more tempting if placed in dishes of attractively contrasting colors and the table arranged in varying styles with fruit or a vase of flowers for a centerpiece. Not only do the colored advertisements tempt the eye, but one can learn innumerable new household and cookery ways and means from them. American Cookery. "I has noticed," said Uncle Eben, "dat de man who got his wealth by runin' a crooked policy game is de one dat's most anxious to put on airs about how much money he's got." DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH. 18 1922 True to His Nature. THE POLICE departments of many American cities are now employing policewomen. One of the pioneers in the woman police movement is Washington, D. C. This city has at present twenty policewomen with their own woman's bureau directed by a woman lieutenant. Two of the twenty policewomen in Washington are colored women, and into their hands for investigation come all cases of first offense among colored women seventeen years or over, and those of all colored girls under seventeen, whether these girls are lawbreakers or merely destitute and dependent. Both of these policewomen bring to their work a wide social experience, one having served overseas Y. M. C. A. worker during the world war, and the other, a graduate of a Western university, having been identified with representative social agencies in New York. Everything indicates that intelligent colored people of Washington are turning interested eyes upon the child of the alley and gutter, realizing that they cannot afford to allow the neglected children to be sacrificed, for they and not the fortunate few will make up the rank and file of future Negro citizenry. It is hoped that this movement will spread and that cities not having colored policewomen will ask for them. The peace, order and welfare of the entire race in the future depends upon what is done for Negro children now.—Alice Ward Smith in the Southern Workman. Sons by White Mother Get Property Sons by White Mother Get Property Topeka, Kansas, March 10.—Melvin and James Nolting, the Negro sons of Mrs. Hattle Nolting, a white woman, were decreed to be the owners each of an undivided one-fourth interest in the estate of James Holt, Negro, by a jury in Judge George Whitecomb's division of the District Court late Wednesday afternoon. The two youths brought suit through their mother against Thomas Holt, the sons of James Holt by his Negro wife, and Myrtle Smith, Bessie Porter and Lucretia Barber, granddaughters of James Holt. The youths claimed that James Holt, who died in 1919, was their father and that they were entitled to a share of his property. On the witness stand Mrs. Nolting claimed the two Negro boys as her sons and testified that she had been intimate with James Holt upon whose farm in the northeastern corner of Shawnee county she worked for several years and up until the time of his death. Her husband lived at home at that time, and is still living, although an invalid, she said. She declared that no one knew of her relations with the Negro until the two babes were born. Photographs of Mr. and Mrs. Notting and their seven children and of the two Negro boys were introduced in evidence to prove to the jury that this was the case. A Different Gamble. Few people seem to be bothering themselves over whether there is or is not a future life. The reason probably is that there's no chance to cash in on bets that might be made on it. Well, we have had a snow storm, but it is all gone. Now we noticed our first harbingers of spring time Sunday afternoon. Looking down on the ground we saw some little red ants as busy as could be. The grass also is beginning to turn/green. Miss Yvette Horne has been very low with pneumonia, but Sunday the doctor informed the family the crisis was passed and she was on the road to recovery. We are glad. The students of the U. of C. in Boulder are anxious, very much so. The reason why is because it is final week. Exams means much to the students.

Woman Wins Appointment Pittsburgh, Pa., March 7.—In a competitive examination with five of the best stenographers of Pittsburgh, Mrs. Beatrice H. Bayless, wife of William P. Bayless, made the highest grade and was appointed stenographer to the mayor of Pittsburgh. It is said that Mayor William A.

NO 23 Female Negro Labor Efficient as White Washington, D. C.—Negro women in industry have no faults which are not common to other labor, according to a survey by the Women's Bureau of the Department of Labor, the results of which were announced Monday, March 5th. Of sixty-three managers who reported on the subject of punctuality, the announcement states that fifty-four found no difference in the punctuality of white women employés and Negroes. Many said Negro women caused no greater loss of material in the processes of production. The majority considered the labor turnover for the two races about equal. "Methods of employment as well as working conditions were also investigated," said the announcement, "and it was found that in some establishments Negro women are working side by side with white women and their work is quite satisfactory. But in most instances Negro women are separated from other working groups, and are very apt to be assigned to the most unpleasant work in the most uncomfortable surroundings." The wage situation is declared a serious one for the Negro women because she is generally employed on casual and unstandardized work. Her yearly income often is reduced by the irregularity of work. The survey was made in 150 manufacturing establishments employing 11,000 Negro women. WOODLAND, CALIFORNIA. Woodland has had the experience of much sickness, sadness and deaths this year.

Greeley.—For the first time in four years, there is a split in the Greeley City Council as the result of a fight to oust the city movie censor, Mrs. Elsie Tew. A motion to drop Mrs. Tew from the list of city employees made recently by Alderman C. S. Buchanan, was lost by a 4 to 2 vote. Records show it is the first motion to have failed of passage at a council meeting for four years. Silt.—The wild and woolly West was echoed in a street scene at Silt recently when a band of local cowpunchers, said to be fed up on moonshine, rode into the business section yelling like Comanche Indians. Such playful sport as running down pedestrians, bucking their horses up and down the sidewalks, roping men on other horses, were indulged in. Fort Lupton.—Employés of the Witherbee coal mine, three miles east of Frederick, found the plant in flames several days ago. Powerless to fight the blaze, as it was centered on the pump house and water supply source, the employés watched the buildings burn to the ground. The damage is unestimated, but is believed to be thousands of dollars. Loveland.—James G. Holmes of Edina, Mo., is being sought in Colorado by his mother. A letter has been received by the Loveland Salvation Army from the mother, who states that she is blind and in failing health. Holmes is 40 years old, heavy set, light eyes and curly hair, and he has a scar near the right eye. Holly.—Frank White, for twenty years a leading business man of Holly, died at Albuquerque, N. M., where he recently went for his health. White conducted the Holly clothing store bearing his name.

Incomes of $5,000,000 and Over HEP. HEP. WASHINGTON.—More than a quarter of a million men are expected by War department officials to be under canvas or in barracks this summer for intensive military training for the first time since congress welded the regular army, the National Guard, and the organized reserves into a composite body constituting the army of the United States. Plans for the instruction of 227,000 men, representing the three components of the united land forces, are announced by the department. Ample funds for the program are expected by officials of the department to be made available by congress by that time, and while the plans are made contingent upon the amount of money appropriated, officials feel confident the necessary sum will be allowed for their full development. NATIONAL agreement heavily penalizing unions which refuse to abide by decisions has been reached by the Associated General Contractors of America, the American Institute of Architects, the Engineering council, the National Building Trades and Employers' association, and the American Federation of Labor through the national board of jurisdictional awards, which has concluded its regular quarterly meeting in Washington. A resolution adopted provides that local building trades councils of union labor shall suspend unions and refuse to recognize or support those unions which refuse to abide by decisions of the national board. It also provides that general contractors and subcontractors who employ only union labor shall incorporate in their agreements with labor a provision that will secure compliance with all the decisions of the board, and that they shall refuse employment to members of local unions which do not abide by such decisions, and further that architects and engineers shall insert in all their specifications and contracts a clause that such decisions shall be followed. "This resolution," says a statement issued by the national board, "is of far-reaching consequence to settle jur- EXTENSION of the 3 per cent immigration act for another year is recommended by the house immigration committee. The existing law expires June 30, 1922. Although the committee studied many proposals for changing the law, it decides "the nation's welfare will best be served by the continuance of the present temporary law." It is probable, however, that the senate immigration committee will recommend some changes. "With the influx of actual immigration reduced in eight months to 191,154, plus 1,769 temporary admissions, or 192,923 persons, as compared with 566,343 admitted during the corresponding months of the previous year, STATISTICS of income compiled from income tax returns for the calendar year 1919 show five personal returns of income for that year of $5,000,000 and over. The names of tax payers are not revealed, the law requiring that income tax returns be held confidential. There were six personal returns of income from $3,000,000 to $4,000,000, seven of income from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000, thirteen of income from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000, thirty-four of income from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000, sixty of income from $750,000 to $1,000,000, 129 of income from $500,000 to $750,000, and 140 of income from $400,000 to $500,000. Two Illinois taxpayers had incomes of between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000 each. Their combined net income was $6,807,601. Their normal taxes aggregated $388,460, their surtaxes $4,292,064, and their total income tax $4,680,524. About two-thirds of their net incomes were paid to the government in taxes. Two other Illinois taxpayers had incomes of between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000. Their net income was In addition to the regular army personnel required to supervise the training work under commanders of the nine corps areas there will be approximately 160,000 members of the National Guard in the field, about 30,000 reserve officers and specialists, 10,000 student members of the reserve officers' training corps, and 27,000 civilians. The plans provide for the training of National Guardsmen preferably in their own states or at the nearest suitable federal or state encampment. Wherever federal cantonments are available they will be offered to the states under revocable contracts. The courses for organized reserve personnel will be limited according to law to two weeks. Demonstrations by small units of the regular army will be staged at each training encampment to illustrate standards of proficiency in drills and tactical methods in maneuver problems. The department announced that applications for attendance at the citizens' training camps will be accepted after April 1 at the corps headquarters at Boston; Governor's island, N. Y.; Fort Howard, Md.; Fort McPherson, Ga.; Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind.; Fort Sherldan, Ill.; Fort Crook, Neb.; Fort Sam Houston, Tex., and the Presidio at San Francisco. isdictional disputes, which in the past have constituted the majority of the causes for strikes and resulting delays and economic losses. "It is the most effective co-operation between workmen, employers and professional men interested in construction looking toward the settlement of these jurisdictional disputes without resort to strikes. "This action has been taken as the result of the report of a special committee of the national board appointed to outline the procedure to be followed in clearing up the situation created by the refusal of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners to conform to the decision of the board in the case of settling the dispute between the carpenters and the sheet metal workers which was decided in favor of the latter." It is clear that the law restricts immigration to a marked degree," the report said. "The committee believes the people demand a continuance of the 3 per cent act, or something more restrictive. In fact, it is clear that a large number of the people are asking for as complete a suspension as can be had in conformity with treaty provisions, and with regard to the desire to bring in close blood relatives. "In this connection it might be stated that the committee on immigration and naturalization is preparing a complete new naturalization code, the terms of which will enable us to recognize clearly those truly desirous of coming into citizenship rather than asking favors or making demands as alien residents." Representatives Sabath of Illinois, Siegel of New York and Box of Texas filed a minority report. "We reiterate that the quota law is inhumane and contrary to the highest American ideals and traditions," it was declared. "It has not met the approval of the American people and should not be continued." $3,179,843 and their combined normal taxes amounted to $101,326, and surtaxes to $1,933,917. Their total tax aggregated $2,035,243. The number of individuals in the United States who filed income tax returns for the calendar year ended December 31, 1919, was 5,332,760. The total amount of net income reported by these returns was $19,859,491,448, and the tax (normal and surtax) amounted to $1,269,630,104. As compared with 1918, the above figures show a growth of 907,646 in the number of returns filed, an increase in the total net income reported amounting to $8,934,852,903, likewise an increase of $141,908,263 in the total tax. HINT TO "SUCCESS SEEKERS" "Cultivate the Thrifty, You May Need Their Savings," Is Advice Given by Humorist. Honesty and industry are requisite of success in business. The young man who is determined to become very wealthy must therefore cultivate persons who are honest and industrious, writes Don Marquis in the New York Sun. Honest and industrious persons are very apt to believe in the integrity of others, and this makes it far easier for an enterprising young man to do business with them advantageously than if they were self-seeking and suspicious. Profits are always to be derived from honesty and industry, if the thing is managed cleverly. Thrift cannot be too highly commended. Teach all those with whom you come in contact to be saving. You never know when you may need their savings to finance one of your ventures. Analyze any great fortune and you will find that it is built of small savings. Sobriety cannot be too highly praised. The staid and sober person is dependable. You can count on him receiving a certain calculable income year in and year out; and if you have enough persons of this sort on your list you are building on a solid foundation; there need be nothing hap-hazard about your methods. Steadily, so many hours a day, a reliable, specified number of sober methodical persons are pilling up for you each his modest proportion of increment, and at stated seasons it becomes yours, just as the apiary garners a proportion of the honey from the hives. The wastrel may have money at times, and it is usually easy to get it away from him when he has it; but he is not dependable; there will always be occasions when others will get to him first. Build your own list, and make your relations with the persons on it permanent. It is better in any event never to associate with wastrels. They are not moral persons, and you must become known as a man with moral associations. This is a great help in business. Diamond Cut Diamond. William J. Burns, seated at his desk in his Washington office, said during an interview: "Sometimes, again, we oppose gulle with gulle. We over-Herod Herod. For example: "A doctor was visited by a man and a boy. The man said: "Doctor, this here's my son. His school teacher gave him a whack on the ear yesterday what ruined his hearin.' Just write me out a paper, will you, so as I can claim damages? "The doctor saw at a glance that he had a case of fraud before him. He tried all kinds or noises on the boy, but nothing would make the well-coached youngster hear him. So finally he looked into the injured ear with a little mirror, saying at the same time in a whisper to his assistant: "Dear me, it's as I thought. The whole organ seems to be destroyed. I can't see very well inside, though. Hand me that large knife, please, so that I can cut the outer ear off." "With a yell like a Comanche Indian the boy dashed out of the room, and that was the end of the case against the school teacher." Cow Moose Skilful Boxer. In the northern and western forest regions of Canada the snow piles deeply throughout the winter. In these forests roams the king of the deer family, the moose. To combat the high-pilling drifts, the animals gather in little bands of from three to a dozen head and trample down the snow over certain limited areas. Thus, when the snow lies all around them, from three to eight feet deep, the moose have a small stretch of country packed hard, so they can get around easily to browse off the surrounding trees. From these "yards," as they are called, the moose are at times driven by wolves or by dogs and men. The animal flounders through the deep snow till it is exhausted, and then proves an easy prey to its pursuers. Though she has no horns, the cow moose possesses dangerous weapons in her two forefeet, which can strike forward with the skill of a boxer and deliver most telling blows. Stops Planes Cotton Waste. Cotton waste, which has long been used in cleaning all kinds of machinery, has been banned in the workshops of the Canadian air service. When airplane engines are overhauled and waste is used, the engines have often stopped when they were afterward placed in service. "These cases have appeared to be due not to waste being accidentally left in the engine parts, but to an accumulation of small pieces of cotton thread that had been left on engine parts after cleaning with waste," says Lieut. Col. E. W. Stedman, director, technical section, Air Board. He urges that commercial companies also prohibit such use of waste.—By Science Service. London's Literary Nights. Literary evening institutes have been established by the London county council for persons older than eighteen years of age. These institutes do not undertake any vocational training, but give courses in such subjects as music, including country dances and folk songs; astronomy, biology, horticulture, history, languages, art and modern English literature. The schools are conducted on the co-operative plan, and they carry out the ideas and suggestions of students. Educational visits to places of interest are on the program. RENO'S CHIEF HOTEL BURNS GUESTS RESCUED ON ROPES AND LADDERS, ABANDONING ALL TO SAVE LIVES. WOMEN LOSE JEWELRY FIRE STARTED IN BASEMENT OF HOTEL AND SPREAD TO ELEVATOR SHAFT. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Reno, Nev.—The Riverside hotel, iteno's chief hostelry, was destroyed by fire a few days ago. The loss is estimated at $250,000, while the total insurance is $100,000. The fire started in the basement near the furnace room, presumably from defective wiring and spread rapidly to the elevator shaft and to all parts of the building, preceded by dense clouds of suffocating smoke. One hundred guests were in the building at the time and were rescued from the third and fourth floor windows by firemen and policemen. The smoke was so dense that few of the guests attempted to save any of their personal effects. The damage of $250,000, representing the value of the hotel property, was augmented by personal property loss estimated into the thousands. Mrs. A. Murray of New York, a guest, reported that she left behind jewelry, including a five-carat diamond ring of the value of $10,000. Mrs. Regina S. Rich, another guest, consumed to much time in saving her canary that she was forced to flee without her valuables. Mrs. Maude Wood Park of Washington, president of the National League of Women Voters, who was in Reno on a speaking tour, escaped from an upper room on a rope. Other members of the league supplied clothing to replace her lost wardrobe. Among those having narrow escapes were Chief Justice J. A. Sanders of the Nevada Supreme Court and Mrs. Sanders. Many of those living at the River-side are wealthy Eastern women and in virtually every instance their personal losses are heavy. Mrs. A. Murray of New York lost diamonds valued at $10,000, including a five-karat solitaire valued at $5,000. She is a divorce colonist. Mrs. Regina Brown, also of New York, when she was aroused, gathered her jewels and was about to leave the room when she thought of her canary. She laid the jewels, valued at several thousands of dollars, on the dresser and released the canary at the window. This done, she thought no more of her jewels until she was safe out of the building. Cement Companies Indicted. Chicago.—Twenty-six corporations manufacturing cement in the middle western states and forty-eight individuals, officers of the companies, were named in an indictment charging violation of the Sherman anti-trust law, which were returned by the federal grand jury March 8, but not made public until recently, after bench warrants had been served on the individuals. Makes Error of $167,000,000,000 Washington.—A clerical error resulted in an overestimate from the treasury of $167,000,000,000 in the possible cost of the land settlement provision of the soldiers' bonus bill, the House ways and means committee was told by Joseph F. McCoy, the government actuary. Terrorized By Bomb Gangsters. Chicago.—Thousands of persons in Chicago live in terror and pay tribute to keep their homes from being bombed, Robert E. Crowe, state's attorney, declared in an address before a citizens' committee called to consider law enforcement measures. "If a man in this town wants to erect a home he must add a certain percentage to the cost for a band of criminals who levy tribute on all building operations," declared Mr. Crowe. Probe Starts in $5,000,000,000 Fire. Chicago.—Investigation of the cause of the fire which destroyed a solid block of thickly-tenanted office buildings, caused a loss of more than $,000,000, resulted in the death of one man and made 20,000 workers idle, has begun by state, city and insurance officials. The manner in which the flames flared out in several places at the same moment caused Shirley T. High, fire attorney, to announce that "everything pointed to incendiarism." Bonus Bill Awaits Gillett. Washington.—There developed recently a difference of opinion among Republican leaders in the House as to the method of calling up the soldiers' bonus bill on the floor. One group still favored consideration under a suspension of the rules, which would cut off all amendments, while another held the opinion that delay in action would be preferable. On all sides it was stated that a decision would await the return of Speaker Gillett. Cleaning, Pressing and Repairing. All Work Guaranteed 720 EAST 26TH AVE.

The rest of the with Ireland of this dawn of a new day of freedom virtue. CIVILIZATION has adopted the patron saint of Ireland as its own in recent years, and St. Patrick's Day has come to mean almost as much to all people of all races as to the Irish people themselves. And there is a reason for it—a cogent, impelling reason that commands the respect, admiration and esteem of the world. A stalwart, generous, kindly hearted people have envisioned the glories and beauties of freedom without possessing it for a period of 700 years. And now the dream of years has come true. The hope of centuries has been realized. The spirit of St. Patrick today hovers over the free state of Ireland in gladness. And people of Irish blood throughout the world can hold their heads higher and take a firmer hold on things earthly than ever before. But this freedom has not been gained without heart aches, "without struggles, without sacrifice, nor without bloodshed. A fixed price was long ago placed on all liberty, upon all freedom, and that price is "eternal vigilance." IRELAND today is a sovereign power, a self-determining nation, merely because it has courageously and happily paid the price. Her constant struggles have illumined the souls of her people to the necessity of self reliance. That Ireland will richly live up to the supreme possibilities of the hour goes without saying. Her magnificent realization of genuine peace and freedom will stand as a marvel of achievement in this day of world unrest and intrigue. As we stated at the outset, this day belongs not to Ireland alone, even though rich with her tradition and her tears. The rest of the world must and will rejoice with Ireland of this dawn of a new day of freedom, of opportunity and national virtue. THE NEWS GATHERER.

At least that seems to be the impression of the general public, judging from the numerous complaints and criticisms leveled against us for not always knowing that "Mrs. So and So" was at home for a day last week with a nervous headache or had some one "drop in" for breakfast, or had some friend pass through Denver on the California flyer, going somewhere.

MATTHEW BULLOCK, a young North Carolina Negro, has been much in the limelight of late, owing to the efforts of the authorities of that state to have him returned to answer a criminal charge of a serious nature. Particularly anxious has been Governor Morrison to get his hands on Bullock, only, however, as he consolingly puts it, "for the Negro's own good." The fact that Bullock's brother and two of his companions were summarily lynched as soon as captured, may convey some idea as to what the Carolina executive concedes to be for the "Negro's own good." However, the Canadian officials seem to have entertained a different view as to what constitutes human safety and welfare and so turned a deaf ear to the mad ravings of Governor Morrison and refused to allow Bullock to be returned to the United States. Ye gods! have not things reached an exalted state when American citizens must flee this supposed land of the free and home of the brave in order to secure the ordinary protection that should be the unquestioned guarantee of all American citizens. Canadian officials were not convinced that Bullock would receive a fair and impatient trial, even if tried at all, in North Carolina. They were amply convinced, however, that he would be promptly lynched immediately upon reaching the border of that accursed state, and so Canada refused to be a party to such a distinctly southern holiday frolic and pastime. That we may properly understand this unseemly and shocking attitude of our northern neighbor, let it be understood that Canada is a part of the British possessions, and Great Britain has not as yet been educated up to the stricty American institution of lynching. Somehow they do things differently over there, and a man is not prejudged solely because of color and handed over to a greedy mob merely to satisfy a ravenous appetite. Taken in its final analysis, Canada's refusal to honor an extradiction from the United States, and on such high grounds as that the person sought would not be dealt fairly with if returned to this country, is one of the most pronounced yet deserved rebukes ever administered by one friendly nation to another. It is a condemnation rightfully due the United States, and it is such states as North and South Carolina, Georgia and other southern states that has brought this about. N. A. A. C. P. Receives Word of Final Release of Bullock in Canada. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, today announced receipt of a telegram from Treleaven and Treleaven, attorneys for Matthew Bullock in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, which reads as follows: "Bullock released this morning."

At the meeting of March 19, he was decorated with the badge of honorary membership. Commander Barnes designated Major Thomas Campbell to make the presentation speech, which was done in a most beautiful and touching manner, after which the badge was pinned upon the breast of Comrade Rector by Adjutant Wm. Robinson. Comrade Rector responded in a very feeling and appreciative speech and then all shook hands and the camp adjourned. MRS. ISABEL STEWART PASSES AWAY. AFTER a long and painful illness extending over a period of two years, during which her suffering has been such as to bring great anguish to her many friends and relatives, Mrs. Ella Isabel Stewart passed away last Saturday at 1 p. m. at her residence, 2151 Humboldt street. Mrs. Stewart was for years an active leader in the social, club and political affairs of Denver and Colorado. She wielded a large influence among many of the city's most prominent white citizens as well as colored. She was a member of Shorter A. M. E. Church for more than twenty years and always enjoyed the esteem and confidence of all who knew her. Mrs. Stewart was born Dec. 24, 1874, in Leavenworth, Kan. The major part of her life was spent in Colorado, however, having come to the state when but 6 years of age. She leaves to mourn her loss a fathere, two sisters, a brother and many other relatives as well as as a host of admiring friends. The funeral was held from Shorter Church Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. W. H. Thomas officiating. The floral tributes were many and amply bespoke the affectionate regard in which she was held. Her death is a distinct loss to Denver. May she rest in peace. KLAN'S CHARTER REQUEST FAILS TO MEET STATUTES, SAYS KEYES Attorney General Holds Articles of Incorporation Are Defective, and Secretary of State Takes Under Advisement Question of Issuing Charter Articles of incorporation filed by the Ku Klux Klan here are defective. They do not comply with the requirements of the statute and the defects are sufficient to justify the secretary of state in refusing the klan a charter, Attorney General Keyes held Thursday in a written opinion. Secretary of State Milliken is ill in bed and Charles Armstrong, deputy secretary of state, has taken under advertisement the matter of issuing a charter to the klan. In his opinion, Attorney General Keyes declared: "It is clear that the organization in question is not embraced within the class of any of the business corporations specifically designated by statute, nor does it claim to be a religious, educational or benevolent society, so it is apparent that said organization is seeking to be incorporated as a corporation not for pecuniary profit. "The addresses of the incorporators are not disclosed, so that it may be ascertained if they are really citizens of the United States. Nor is it anywhere shown that the purpose is lawful, nor are there any facts given by which it can be determined whether or not the organization is for pecuniary profit. Purpose of Society Too Vague. "We have no precedent for the incorporation of any such society in this state within my knowledge. In my judgment, the articles presented in this case are defective and do not comply with the requirements of the statute. The specification of the business and objects for which the organization is formed is too vague, general and indefinite. "How is the society to be formed? What are the rights, duties and privileges of membership? What is meant or understood by a 'fraternal, militant society?' What principles of true Americanism embodied in the constitution and laws of the United States of America are referred to and how are the same to be supported and maintained?" District Attorney Philip S. Van Cise is pushing his investigation of the Ku Klux Klan in Denver. A dozen witnesses, all members of the klan according to the district attorney's informants, and including several leading attorneys and city officials, have been called to testify at Friday's session of the county grand jury. On the list subpoenaed are the names of Harry G. Saunders, attorney, and clerk of Magistrate Henry Bray's court; Charles Lewis, clerk of Judge C. J. Morley's division of the District Court; Louis Uland, traffic director in the city department of safety; Dean Giles, secretary to Walter B. Lowry, manager of parks and improvements; Attorneys Bert Martin and Lewis Rush; W. R. Given, A. E. Williams, A. Ferguson and Francis Evans. Dr. J. G. Locke, one of the alleged leaders of the klan here, has been recalled, following his appearance last Friday, in connection, it is understood, with certain alleged statements denying he is identified with the organization. Klan: Prepares to Extend Activity. The klan is embarking upon a new program, according to investigators, which may take them into every section of the state. They will "carry on" in their original purposes, both here and in outside towns, officials have been informed, and will push the work already mapped out. "It is our intention to find out who the incorporators are, and I was glad to see the attorney general had held up approval of the charter until we could fully probe the matter," the district attorney declared. "The names given are undoubtedly aliases, for we can't find trace of any such men in Denver. The fellow 'Stenmore' is unknown to any directory or organization here thus far." That the klan might possibly attempt to change its meeting place, or that it might retire to outlying districts, was a possibility which officials were considering Thursday. The district attorney is investigating a report that a Denver district judge may himself be a member of the klan.—Denver Post. Former Haitian Minister to France Arrives in New York. Reports Imprisonment of Editor by Marines and Demands Abolition of Martial Law in Haiti. Georges Sylvain, former Haitian minister to France, Officer of the Legion of Honor, Officer of Public Instruction in France, who recently arrived in New York, today announced he had received word from his country of the imprisonment for six months at hard labor of Phiteas Lemaire, editor of the Courier Haitien, a newspaper published in Port Au Prince. In a statement issued at the offices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, Mr. Sylvain said: "Mr. Lemaire, publisher of the Courier Haitien, was tried before a military court of the American Occupation in Haiti on 21st of February of this year and was sentenced to six months at hard labor and a fine of $300 on the 4th of March for having received and published a news item telling of a brutal attack upon a citizen by a Haitian lieutenant of gendarmerie. "The Courier Haitian," as its only comment on this story, said it was difficult to believe such acts could still be perpetrated in sight and knowledge of the entire population. Nothing sent to me in the report of what occurred before the military court, indicates that Mr. Lemaire was convinced that a false rumor had been spread or that there had been any refusal on his part to retract in the event the rumor might prove to have been false. "The worst feature of the imprisonments under martial law in Haiti is that the officers concerned are both judges and parties to the trials; and the hard labor invariably accompanying prison sentences has to be executed in company with the worst criminals. "That is why we insist upon the immediate abolishment of martial law in Haiti." Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The Glee Club had a splendid meeting and practice one week ago last Thursday evening. Prof. Liggins, the director, met the club for the first time in three weeks, having been detained at home on account of a severe attack of influenza. James Russell and James C. Butler joined the club, making very worthy accessions. The club is planning to give a big entertainment in the near future. The Olinger Cadets made a very beautiful and impressive appearance last Saturday morning. With their new uniforms and their new guns they felt so proud that they could scarcely control themselves. The high school boys also had a good meeting on Tuesday afternoon. A good crowd was present. The Rev, C. E. Chapman, the young man who has come to take charge of the new C. M. E. church work which has recently been started here, made an interesting talk at the meeting last Sunday afternoon on the present condition and outlook of the colored people of Tennessee, speaking from an economic, educational and political standpoint. J. C. Butler of the late Burden Singers, pleased the audience with his splendid barrane. A pleasant feature last Thursday evening was the gathering of Mr. James Boykin and his band. The members of it were what was known three and four years ago as "The Boys' Band of the Y. M. C. A." They are young men now, and after being scattered for three years have gotten together again under their old leader. It is good to see and hear them. Thus history is repeating itself. Everybody should come to the meeting tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. A splendid program will be rendered. Mr. Iver C. Dalley, a member of the Colorado House of Representatives, will be the speaker. Mr. Dalley is one of the best speakers in the state, and an officer of our local N. A. A. C. P., and a splendid friend. No one should miss hearing him. Mr. J. E. Mason, who has just come to the city from Fort Worth, Texas, a splendid singer and pianist, will sing. Mr. Butler will also sing again. The program begins at 4 o'clock. All will be welcome.

RECEIVES LET- TER SIGNED K. K. K. Last Saturday morning Geo. W. Gross, president of the Denver Branch, N. A. A. C. P., received a threatening letter purported to come from the Ku Klux Klan, and warned him against further activities against the issuing of a charter to the klan by Secretary of State Carl S. Milliken. He at once turned the letter over to Col. P. J. Hamrock of the Colorado Rangers who began an immediate investigation of the matter. Mr. Gross has made it plain that one Negro has been found who does not intend to be run. Moreover, the Denver Branch has not let up one particle in its fight on the charter. The incident has caused no little stir in Denver and the Negro citizens have rallied to a man in the defence of Mr. Gross.

Denver colored citizens did themselves proud and rendered a deserved tribute to a worthy race leader and distinguished American soldier last Sunday in one of the most impressive memorial services ever held in Denver. The occasion was in honor of Col. Chas. Young, great patriot and soldier, who died in Africa early in January. The big auditorium of the church was well filled with sorrowing admirers of Colonel Young, and the words of praise that fell from the lips of the inspired speakers found lodgement in the hearts of all present. The scene took on added color by the presence of veteran soldiers who had participated in every war since the days of '61, all in appropriate uniform. Grim and grizzled comrades of the war of the rebellion, stalwart defenders of the flag during the Spanish-American war, and many veterans of the great World War met as comrades in arms to do honor to him who ranked high as one of the greatest American soldiers. The Shorter choir graciously rendered several touching selections and especially beautiful was the rendition of "Lead Kindly Light" and "Lift Every Voice and Sing." Lieut. Wm. Robinson read the beautiful tributes of President Harding and Gen. Jno. J. Pershing offered in honor of Colonel Young, and Capt. Thomas Campbell spoke of him as he knew him in active service. The tribute offered by Attorney E. P. Blakemore was both eloquent and full of pathos, closing with a bit of original poetry that brought forth a prolonged round of applause. Lieut. Earl W. Mann was the last speaker on the program and he arose to the occasion in most scholarly and instructive manner. The services were held under the joint auspices of the Spanish War Veterans, the Wallace Simpson Post of the American Legion, and the Denver Branch of the N. A. A. C. P.

COLONEL YOUNG, THE MANLY MAN. Composed by E. P. Blakemore, Attorney-at-Law. Our Heavenly Father, a Mighty King, Who sits up high above, We trust our lives, and praises sing Of Jesus and his love. Fifty years and more are passing on Since we've launched out in life, To do Thee good and Thy name adorn Without the least of strife. Colonel Young started, many years ago, When opposition in life was great, To be a man, his ambition to know, And color of skin, should wait. But instead of fussing over a trivial thing To answer the enemies of the race, He fought the harder success to bring By a steady, upward pace. He fought and conquered, as a soldier would, Like right will over might; Upon self-reliance he has always stood, With a sword unsheated, for fight. He has merited promotions, yea, even more, Than crowned him, to the last; But the badge of color hung on his door Till all of his hopes were blast. We hailed him as a soldier gallant to the end, We honor him as an officer dead, For he died a martyr, the flag he did defend: Not cowardice, but bravery instead. He was never false to a trust of his friend, But true as the sun which shines; When the hour was dark in the world of sin He was hopeful for the signs of the times. One day when our army was summoned abroad To do its bit in the war, Young tendered his services with willing accord, His race, not ability, was the bar. Mr. Wilson proclaimed HIS HEALTH too poor To command our soldiers in France, So he mounted a horse and to the White House door Proved his physical circumstance. So friends, comrades, and all others concerned, Look up, be on the alert, Have faith in your race, with our hopes confirmed, Our conceit may we convert. Point with pride to the life of our own Colonel Young, Such a record he has achieved. And march to the steps of the praises he has sung And the obstacles he has relieved. His life in the army so spotless and clean, He was a b brother to all mankind. The prejudices of his enemy, whom he hadn't seen— He left it all behind; And wishing the good which he might do For the one farthest down, Always to humanity loyal and true, Now today he wears a crown. And now to the dear ones he has left behind, The ones nearest his heart— His wife, children, relatives and kind— He's gone—we all must part. But his name and spirit of worth yet live In memory of all humanity. So trust posterity, your happiness to give, And forget this world of vanity. And to you who are here, due reverence extend To the immortal name which survives; Just examine yourselves and your faults amend When temptations enter your lives. We admire the life of Colonel Young, who stood When adversities approached he smiled. Never offering to nag—as many of us would— A conservative soldier exiled. May the God of our father watch over us all, And a race make pure in his word, While we list to the music and march to the call, Pay heed to the things we've heard. Have faith in the good, of that which we've sung, And praise for the deeds of the true; Pay respects to the dead, like our own Colonel Young— He died for the Red, White and Blue.

NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Warren G. Harding Completes His First Year as President of United States. FALL AND WALLACE IN CLASH American Government Declines to Participate in Genoa Conference—Lloyd George's Threatened Resignation — Fourteenth Canadian Parliament Opened—Flume Fumes Again. By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN WARREN G. HARDING at noon of March 4 completed his first year as President of the United States. He was asked for an expression regarding the accomplishments of his administration to date and authorized this statement: "The record of the administration speaks for itself; it would be a poor administration that required the executive to speak for it." At an entertainment by the National Press club in honor of the first official birthday the President said: "The long step toward getting back toward normal ways of government would seem to me to have been the achievement of the year." Representative Fess of Ohio, chairman of the Republican congressional committee, made in the house a speech setting forth in detail the accomplishments of the year from the Republican viewpoint. He dwelt on economies, actual and prospective. He said that the United States would be the only government in the world living within its revenues next year, if it could keep within the estimates outlined by the administration. Reviewing the work of the arms conference, he said: "I challenge the record to produce a greater achievement in the history of diplomacy." Democratic members then proceeded to tear to pieces the Fess eulogy from their standpoint. Cordell Hull, chairman of the Democratic national committee, also took issue with the Fess statement. His general position is that while the Republican congress has enacted a multiplicity of unimportant laws and the arms conference provided for a limited program of naval reduction the Republican party has failed to carry out its major promises made in the campaign of 1920. Now, in the house debate over the administration's statement of economies Fess talked exactly as if he believed everything he said and the Democrats talked back exactly as if they believed everything they said. And the taxpayer in the gallery knew that everybody couldn't be telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The upshot was that Representative Byrns of Tennessee, ranking Democratic member of the appropriations committee, secured the passage of a resolution calling upon the President to inform the house in what way the savings had been made, from what particular appropriations and in what specific amounts. Thereupon the President Instructed General Dawes of the budget bureau to prepare a complete statement covering the entire situation. One thing at least stands out clearly: Nobody doubts that "H—l and Maria" Dawes will give the facts and figures as they are. President and Mrs. Harding left Washington Wednesday evening by train for St. Augustine, Fla. The presidential party included Attorney General Daugherty, Speaker Gillett, Undersecretary of State Fletcher, Brigadier General Sawyer, his personal physician, and George B. Christian, his secretary. Mr. Christian said the President would occupy his time In "rest and recreation," in Florida for a week or so. PITCHED battle between the Interior and Agricultural departments which has long been watched by official Washington with absorbing interest has now become "public" through a statement by Secretary Fall that he had protested to President Harding against the circulation of "vicious propaganda emanating from the Department of Agriculture." The battle, in brief, is over legislation, pending and prospective, which would transfer the forest service from the Agriculture department to the Interior department and practically turn over the development of the natural resources of Alaska to the Interior department, with responsibility to the President. This battle is not a petty quarrel between two departments. It is a real battle between two cabinet members. Some of the old-timers take it so seriously as to predict the resignation of one or the other of the secretaries. Moreover, the battle is significant as indicating the difficulties that lie in the way of the proposed reorganization of all the executive departments. Until 1905 the Interior department controlled all the public lands. The national forests were then created for the application of scientific lumbering and grazing and the forest service was established to administer them. The Interior department retained control of the remaining public lands and the ten national parks, established for recreational purposes. In the national forests the Interior department is charged with the execution of all laws "relating to surveying, prospecting, locating, appropriating, entering, reconveying or patenting of public lands and to the granting of rights of way amounting to easements." The national forests now number 168 in 21 states and territories and contain about 242,200 square miles. The national parks now number 19 and contain 10,859 square miles. The national park service was created in 1916 to administer the national parks under the secretary of the interior. The Agricultural department then began a campaign in print, and from the platform, for the transfer of the national park service to the Agricultural department. It also set up the national forests as recreational rivals of the national parks. Then came the proposed reorganization of the executive departments, approved by the President. Under this reorganization, the Interior department would become practically a public works department. One contemplated transfer is that of the forest service from the Agricultural department. On top of this came the concern about the plight of Alaska, which is not prospering. "Too much bureaucratic government" was one cry that was raised. It is now proposed to take Alaska out of the hands of the many bureaus and hand it over to the Interior department for administration and development. The secretary is already building the government Alaskan railroad and controls the oil and mineral deposits in the national forests. The two big national forests in Alaska are the Tongass and Chugac, containing 220,000 acres. Secretary Fall approves this disposition of Alaska. It has been announced that President Harding will visit Alaska this summer to get first-hand information. It was planned that Secretary Fall should be in the presidential party. Naturally the Department of Agriculture is not pleased with this program. The American Forestry association has sent out much "literature" protesting against it. Some of it is pretty strong. The gist of it is that the transfer of the national forests means their exploitation by "private interests." Anyway, Secretary Fall says he is being held up to "execration, public abuse and private calumny." THE United States has formally declined the invitation of the allied powers to participate in the European financial and economic conference which is now set for April 10 at Genoa. The declination runs from Secretary of State Hughes to the Italian ambassador, Senator Ricci. The document is a gem of purest ray serene. The language is friendly, the statements are plain, the meaning unmistakable. In diplomatic terms he says that the conference is not primarily economic but is rather a conference of a political character in which the United States cannot helpfully participate. "Nothing doing. See you later. Wishing you good luck, I remain, etc." is about the way it would read in the vernacular. Of course Europe is disappointed. It is generally admitted that the absence of the United States will detract from the usefulness of the conference. But if Europe will not hold the kind of conference in which the United States can helpfully participate, it must not expect us unnecessarily to become involved in European questions. Better luck next time, maybe, when things get down to brass tacks. LOYD GEORGE resigning the British premlership doesn't fit in with American notions of the little Welsh wizard. But either he had it seriously in mind—or he ran a gorgeous bluff. Anyway, he served an ultimatum on the Tory leaders of the coalition party that unless he could be assured of loyal support and co-operation he would resign. Whereupon all Britain buzzed like a disturbed beehive. Sir Arthur Balfour was named everywhere as the probable successor. But the coalition chiefs got busy at once. Sir George Younger, the unionist "die-hard" leader, was made to step back into the line; it was his speeches that had forced the issue. Other leaders publicly voiced their confidence in the premier. Balfour, as a conservative leader, put the finishing touch by declaring emphatically for a continuance of the coalition government and indorsing the leadership of Lloyd George, who he declared was incomparably the greatest figure of the greatest age in British history. So the crisis has apparently been passed—though possibly only for the present. Sir Arthur, by the way, is very much in the British public eye just now. King George has bestowed upon him a knighthood of the Order of the Garter. His achievements at the Washington arms conference are universally acclaimed as regaining for Great Britain the world dominance lost during the World war. Anyhow, in declaring for Lloyd George he bowed himself out of the premiership. CANADA'S fourteenth parliament was opened Wednesday by Govor-General Byng. W. L. Mackenzie King is the first liberal prime minister to hold the relas of government since Sir Wilfred Laurier was defeated ten years ago on his policy of reciprocity with the United States. Premier King is a veteran of the Laurier ministry of 1911, in which he served as minister of labor. Rodolphe Lemleux of Montreal, selected by Premier King, is speaker. The government commands about one-half of the members of parliament. The official opposition group, numbering about fifty in a house of 235 members, is led by Arthur Meighen, the defeated premier. T. A. Crerar leads an unofficial progressive group of about 65, who are expected to support the government in most of its policies, especially on the tariff. Both liberals and progressives believe in customs duties "for revenue only," as against the conservative policy of protection. Who said "reciprocity?" FIUME is on the map again and seems to be trying to rival Vesuvius. The Fascisti and their adherents have chased out President Zanella of the Free City government set up under the treaty of Rapallo between Italy and Jugo-Slavia. Gabrielle d'Annunzio has sent word that he supports the "uprising." The Italian parties have chosen Glovanni Giurati, former chief of the poet-warrior's cabinet, as head of another provisional government for the Free State. The Jugo-Slavs are rushing troops to the frontier, ostensibly to repel threatened raids by the Fascisti. They are insisting upon observance of the treaty of Rapallo. Italy apparently intends to restore order in Flume and enforce the Rapallo treaty. She also has moved troops forward. MAX says he isn't marrying Mathilde for her money. Mathilde began the romance at eleven by calling Max "Uncle." Max has taught Mathilde the "Swiss language." Let the wedding bells ring out and the Swiss navy fire a salute! "Politics makes strange bedfellows"—which is to say that the new treaty gives Yap prohibition, with Americans exempted. William Jennings Bryan, crusading against Darwinism, says nobody can make a monkey of him. Mr. Bryan is a self-made man. QUAINT OLD TOWN IN VIRGINIA WHERE PAST AND PRESENT ARE SUBTLY BLENDED. WREN DESIGNED COURTHOUSE Interesting Memorial Tablets in Bruton Church-Wythe House, the "Powder Horn" and the College of William and Mary. Washington.—A majority of the presidents of the United States have received degrees from the old college of William and Mary, a Virginia institution founded in the early days at Williamsburg. Williamsburg is not far from Washington, so far as time and distance are concerned. Members of congress and other government officials occasionally go there, lured by the historic associations of the old place, by the sights to be seen and by the general restfulness of its surroundings. It is only three miles across country from Jamestown island, where the first settlement in Virginia was made, to Williamsburg. Jamestown is largely memory, while Williamsburg is both memory and reality. The past and the present are met in its streets and there is subtle blending of the two into a mid-time atmosphere. Happily, the Virginians have held to the love of the old things. It is worth something to know that the main street still is known as Duke of Gloucester street. It is a fine thoroughfare and on it stands a courthouse designed by Sir Christopher Wren, the architect of Saint Paul's cathedral in London, England, and many of that city's churches. Bruton church, in which is the font used at the baptism of Pocahontas at Jamestown, also stands facing Duke of Gloucester street. It is an appealing structure. The building is clad with the ivy of England, which grows and thrives in this latitude. A churchyard, as quiet as that of the "Elegy," lies without its walls. It is supposed that the church was named by one of the early secretaries of the colony who was born in Bruton, England. Some Bruton Church Tablets. In the churchyard is a tomb with this inscription: "Under this marble lieth the body of Thomas Ludwell, Esqr.. Secretary of Virginia, who was born at Bruton, in the County of Somerset, in the Kingdom of England, and departed this life in the year 1678." Close to the north door of the church are the graves of two children of Mrs. Martha Custis, who, when widowed, became the wife of George Washington. It is not the intention to make a necrology of this writing, but it is barely possible that two inscriptions, which appear on tablets inside the Bruton church, extolling the virtues of the dead, may have a living interest. Here is one of them: "Near this marble lyes ye Honble, Daniel Paeke, of ye County of Essex, Esqr., who was one of his masters Counsellers and sometime Secretary of the Collony of Virga. He dyed ye 6th of March, Anno 1679. His other feleciytes were crowned by his happy marriag with Rebecka, the daughter of George Evelyn, of the County of Surry, Esqr. She died ye 2nd of January, Anno 1672, at Long Ditton, in ye county of Surry, and left behind her a most hopeful progeny." The other tablet bears this: "MDCLII. Inscribed to the memory of Doctor William Cocke, an English physician, born of reputable parents MDCLXXI, at Sudbury in Suffolk, and educated at Queen's College, Cambridge. He was learned and polite, of undisputed skill in his profession and unbounded generosity in his practice, which multitudes yet alive can testify. He was many years of the Council, and Secretary of State for the Colony. In the reign of Queen Anne, and of King George, he died suddenly, sitting a judge upon the bench of the General Court, in the capitol, MDCXX. His friend Alexer, Spottses, Esqr., then Govnr, with the principal gentlemen of the country, attended his funeral, and weeping, saw the corpse interred at the west side of the alter in this church." Wythe House and "Powder Horn." Almost within the shadow of Bruton church stands the Wythe house, for some time the headquarters of George Washington during the siege of Yorktown, which, with its historic memories, lies only a few miles away. The seeds of history were sown thick hereabouts. Just back of the church and at a point easily reached from Duke of Gloucester street stands the old "Powder Horn," built by Governor Spotswood in 1714. This magazine, put up by the British governor, was used afterward by Washington to store powder which subsequently was rammed into cannon to hurl shot at Cornwallis behind the breakwaters of Yorktown. The Virginia Society for the Preservation of Antiquities has restored the Powder Horn, and it is now a museum for relics of the past. If a loyal Williamsburger lends his sight-seeing aid you will not be allowed to leave the "oldest incorporated city in America" until you have visited the College of William and Mary, the oldest college in America, barring only Harvard. Veteran Indian Fighter. Soon there will be held in Washington a meeting of the Society of Indian Wars. From all over the coun- try old-time army officers, will come to Washington to live over the days that they spent in training and in fighting on the plains. The oldest man present at the meeting will be Brig. Gen. Anson Mills. This American soldier, new on the retired list, is eighty-eight years old. He drives a motorcar almost daily on the streets of Washington, and he shows every evidence of having kept his youth. Last year at the Indian society meeting Gen. Charles King of Milwaukee read a paper on the Sioux campaigns of 1875-76. He paid a tribute to the fighting qualities of General Mills. Since then the records have been turned to and one or two of the fighting experiences of this almost non-agenarian general have been plucked therefrom. Prior to giving them it might be said that General Mills was a farm boy, for he was born on a farm in Boone county, Indiana, in 1834. It was just before Sitting Bull and his men had killed off Custer and his troopers in the Big Horn country that Capt. Anson Mills, in command of one squadron of the Third cavalry, met the Sloux in a fight on the Rosebud. Mills and his squadron were near the Rosebud river early one morning when a scout—a half-breed Indian—came into the camp, with his pony on a dead run, shouting: "The Sloux are just ahead." How Milla Charged the Bluffs. Mills' command was a part of the force of General Crook, who was operating against the Indians in that section of the country. Immediately after the coming of the scout Crook's adjutant dashed up to Mills with the order from his chief to "Charge the bluffs on the center." Of what followed General Forsythe says this: "Captain Mills gave but two commands. 'Right into line!' and as his four splendid troops of cavalry promptly swung into battalion front, he raised himself in his strirrups and shouted: 'Charge!' Every trooper in ranks drove home his spurs, and the superb body of troops swept up the steep slope in a mad rush for the defiant Sloux, who, as the men came galloping on, opened on them with their rifles, sending down men here and there, but not in the least checking the weight of the charge; for, as they gained the crest in splendid alignment, and saw the Sloux drawn up to meet them 200 yards away, the whole command burst into a tremendous cheer, and, breaking into a dead run, made straight for them; but before they were within fifty yards of the Indians the Sloux broke wildly and fled down the opposite slopes in every direction. The battle of the Rosebud was on." His Attack on American Horse. Crook's men were nearly starving, and in September, toward the end of the summer's campaign, Captain Mills was ordered to Dendwood to get provisions—as another writer has put it, "any kind of provisions, for God's sake!" Mills did not expect to meet Indians on that march to the Black Hills country, but he was prepared to meet them, as a good soldier always is prepared, and he was ready to take the offensive at a moment's notice. When he was near Slim Buttes he came upon an Indian village under the command of the great Sloux chief, American Horse. Mills did not wait for the order to attack, but attacked at once. American Horse had a following great in number, but Mills surprised him and routed him, capturing the village and a large supply of much-needed provisions. American Horse took to the hills with his men and found a position that was impregnable to such a small force as that at Mills' command. The captain gathered the provisions together, felt out the Indian chief's position and dispatched a courier to Crook for re-enforcements. In the meantime American Horse managed to get a courier to his fellow chief, Crazy Horse, with his band rode rapidly toward Slim Buttes. On that day Crazy Horse thought he would have only the small squadron of Mills to meet. Re-enforcements had come, however, and Mills led them into the fight and won it. Anson Mills has been called "The American soldier who was never known to wait." Saving the Heat. It is recognized generally that the losses of heat from bare pipes and boilers are considerable, yet their real magnitude is little appreciated. The react that the loss from 1,000 square feet of exposed surface at 100 pounds per square inch in steam pressure represents more than 300 tons of coal annually is a sufficient justification for the serious consideration of this subject. The value of a good nonheat-conducting cover should therefore not be overlooked. One of these covers, composed of 35 per cent magnesium carbonate and 35 per cent asbestos introduced as a binder, has been found very efficient, according to a recently completed report by the Mellon institute. Dan Tucker The Dan Tucker in the negro song with the refrain "Out o' de way, ole Dan Tucker," is said to refer to Capt. Dan Tucker of Virginia, second governor of Bermuda. Crazy As Ever. Most of the people who formerly were trying to invent perpetual motion are now endeavoring to get something for nothing. The salary paid to the President of Germany is the lowest paid to any head of state in the world. 1027 Twenty-first St. Denver Office Phone Main 212-765-4000, or by appointment. Res. 2337 Garm Place.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) Every housekeeper, in the secret places in her soul, longs to have some one praise her pie. She can have pie that can be praised if she follows carefully the recipe for mixing and handling the dough that is used by food specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture. Plain Pastry for Double-Crust Pie. 1 1/2 cupfuls flour 2 1-3 tablespoonfuls water 1-3 cupful fat (a little more than 5 level tablespoonfuls) 2-3 teaspoonful salt Place the flour, salt and lard into a bowl and cut with a biscuit cutter until it looks mealy. Take out one-fourth cupful of the finely divided flour-and-fat mixture to be used later on the upper and under crusts. Add the water gradually to the remaining flour-and-fat mixture, cutting with the biscuit cutter until the water is evenly mixed in. Divide the dough into two approximately equal parts, one for the upper and the other for the under crust. Shape each into a flattened ball and roll until about five inches in diameter. Take one of these flat cakes of dough; place about one-eighth cupful of the finely divided flour-and-fat mixture which was reserved, onto the half of the dough nearest the worker, and fold the other half over this, pressing the edges together. Roll slightly and fold the right side over two-thirds of the way toward the opposite edge; then fold the left side similarly toward the right edge, thus making an oblong piece of three thicknesses. Fold this oblong piece of dough through the center to form a square. Shape the dough with the hands so as to round the corners, thus making a round cake. Roll lightly until the dough is large enough to cover the pan. Cover the pan with the dough, taking palms to see that no air is enclosed between the pan and dough. Put the pie filling in place. Roll the upper crust in the same manner as that described for the lower. Cut perforations in the upper crust to allow for the escape of steam. Moisten the rim of the under crust with water, place the top crust in position, and press the two edges together with the thumb. Trim the edges with a knife and press the edges together again, using the tines of a fork. Bake 25 to 30 minutes in a moderate hot oven, l. e., at about 450 degrees F. Special Points to Be Observed. No more water should be added than the recipe calls for. The proportions given have been tested innumerable times, and the addition of extra water will only result in a cracker-like pastry. Extra nour will not offset extra water because the proportions of the entire recipe will then be altered. If handled and measured correctly this recipe is always satisfactory. The old idea that only ice water should be used for all kinds of pastry is more or less of a superstition. On the contrary, if the fat is very cold, as it will be if it is kept in a cold room or out-of-doors in freezing weather, hot water is better than cold for mixing the dough. In very warm weather, however, it is well to use cold water if the fat seems very soft. In putting the pie crust on the pan it should be cut enough larger than the pan to allow for shrinkage. It should be well pressed into the pan and around the bottom with the fingers so that no air can be enclosed beneath it. A single pie crust or shell, baked as undercrust for a lemon or chocolate or custard pie, should be pricked with a fork in many places to allow any air that is below the crust to escape; otherwise it will puff up in the middle. The upper edge of this undercrust should be rolled under the edge of the pan. This gives a good appearance to the finished pie. In making custard pies, or those containing juicy fruits like cherries or blueberries, a soggy undercrust can be avoided if, before the filling is put in, the crust is baked for about ten minutes or until the color starts to change. It must not be baked until brown before filling, for fear that the pie would be dark and unpatable. The fruit or custard should be heated and added to the partially baked crust while the latter is still in the oven; the baking is then finished as usual. When making a number of pies it is worth while to glaze them by brushing the upper crust with a mixture of three tablespoonfuls of milk to one well-beaten egg. For a single pie it would hardly pay to use the egg unless what remained of the mixture could be utilized for pudding. French toast, or some other cooking. Brush the glaze on with a fork wrapped in a bit of clean muslin. 1½ cupful milk ½ teaspoonful va- eggs nilla ¼ cupful sugar Nutmeg ¼ teaspoonful salt Prebake the crust for ten minutes or until the color starts to change. Put the milk and sugar in the double boiler and bring to the scalding point. Add the well-beaten eggs, salt and flavoring. Pour this into the previously baked crust. Place in a moderately hot oven (450 degrees F.), and allow the oven heat to reduce to 350 degrees F. Bake until the custard is set. A good spiced cornstarch pie can be made with vinegar flavoring. Vinegar Pie. 2 eggs 1½ cupfuls water 3 tablespoonfuls ¼ teaspoonful cornstarch 3 t a b l e s p o n f u l s cornstarch ½ teaspoonful mace ½ teaspoonful nut- meg 1 1/2 cupfuls brown sugar 2 table spoonfuls meg butter ½ teaspoonful salt 2 table spoonfuls vinegar Mix the cornstarch with enough of the water to make a paste. Mix the remaining water, sugar, vinegar and salt in a saucepan. When the mixture reaches the boiling point stir in the cornstarch and allow it to cook for several minutes in order to completely cook the cornstarch. Add the beaten egg yolks, butter and spice. Place in a baked shell. Spread the top with a meringue made of the two egg whites well beaten, two tablespoonfuls of sugar and one-fourth teaspoonful of salt. Place the plen in an oven registering 250 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 15 minutes. Increase the heat slightly at the end of this period and bake to a delicate brown. SILKS AND LACES IMPROVED As a Rule Color Obtained by Tinting Is Not as Permanent as That From Dyeing. Sometimes, especially with light-colored silks and georgette crepe, it is convenient to give delicate tints by some simple method. "Bluing" and "plinking" are most often resorted to. The United States Department of Agriculture find that, as a rule, the color obtained by tinting is not so permanent as that from dyeing. There are soap dyes on the market which may be used for this purpose, or a tinting water may be made by soaking colored crepe or blotting paper, or by mixing a few drops of colored ink in clear water. A glass of tinted water held to the light will show about the same color that it will give to the material. A piece of red crepe wrapping paper will easily impart enough color to a basin of water to restore a faded pink crepe de chine waist to its original shade. Violet or green ink or ordinary bluing will act similarly. A small amount of regular dye can also be used without bolling to tint silks. The color of deep cream or eruc lace may be restored by tinting with tea. Coffee is sometimes used, but it is less desirable as it leaves an odor and does not give so clear a tint. A cheap grade of black tea is good for tinting, or left-over tea may be used. SALT AND WATER IN COOKING Considerable Variation in Amount of Moisture Absorbed by Cereals—Table Will Help. Cereals vary considerably in the amount of water absorbed as they are cooking, specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture state. This fact accounts for the thin oatmeal or the too thick grits which sometimes appear from the hands of an inexperienced cook. A cupful of hominy grits should be cooked in twice as much water as a cupful of Scotch oatmeal, and it requires twice as much salt as any other cereal. The table below gives the proportions of salt and water to use in cooking one cupful of cereal of the various kinds: Salt. Water. Tea- spoon- fuls. Cup- fuls. Corn meal .....1 3½ Hominy grits .....2 4 Oatmeal (scotch) .....1 2 Oatmeal (rolled oats) .....1 2½-3 Cracked wheat .....1 4 Household Questions Young carrots are nice mixed with string beans or peas. An old sheet will often make a nice pair of pillow cases. Individual souffles of ham are nice for the porch supper. Oily water car be cleared by adding a few spoonfuls of cornmeal. Buns will be nicely glazed if you brush them lightly with evaporated milk.

FOOD FOR THE FAMILY For variety serve chicken in the following way: Chicken a la King.— Take two cupfuls of cooked chicken, four fresh mushrooms, one tablespoonful of butter, one-fourth of a green pepper, one cupful of thin cream, one cupful of chicken broth, three tablespoonfuls of flour. Take two cupfuls of cooked chicken, four fresh mushrooms, one tablespoonful of butter, one-fourth of a green pepper, one cupful of thin cream, one cupful of chicken broth, three tablespoonfuls of flour, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of paprika, one teaspoonful of lemon juice. Cut the chicken into cubes, break the mushroom caps and cut the stems; chop the green pepper; add the cream and chicken stock, and two egg yolks. Cook the mushrooms and pepper in the butter; add the flour, then combine with the other ingredients. Serve on toast garnished with parsley. Jelly Omelet.—Separate the whites and yolks of two eggs; beat the whites until stiff, the yolks until creamy. Put a teaspoonful of butter in an omelet pan; when hot pour in the omelet after mixing the yolks with the whites, adding two tablespoonfuls of milk and a dash of cayenne and salt. Cook until the omelet is set; cover with a hot lid to dry out the top, or place in the oven. Spread one side with jelly and fold as usual. Serve hot on a hot platter. Steamed Sliced Bread.—Butter stale bread and steam until well heated through; spread again with butter and spread with raspberry jam, or canned berries of any kind. Serve individually with cream and sugar. A dessert which will keep and one that will be licked is prepared as follows: Take two eggs well beaten; add one-half cupful of sugar, four tablespoonfuls of flour, one teaspoonful of baking powder and one cupful of nut meats with one cupful of finely cut dates. Bake in a sheet, cut in finger-sized pieces and put into a glass jar. Steam when wanted, sprinkle with lemon juice and serve with cream. There are no more useful and easy to handle cleaning cloths than those made from knitted underwear or outing flannel garments. The day is cold and dark and dreary, It rains, and the wind is never weary. The vine still clings to the mould'ring wall And at every gust the dead leaves fall, And the day is dark and dreary. DAINTIES FOR THE FAMILY With a few cans of choice pineapple in slices, crushed or grated, one has at hand a delicious base for any number of tasty dishes. A WOMAN READING A BOOK Pineapple Pudding. — Sprinkle one-half cupful sugar over a can of crushed phi- apple and set away to become chilled. In an hour drain the juice from the pineapple and reserve this to pour over layers of sponge cake; on each layer place a layer of the pineapple; repeat until all the juice and fruit is used. Make a meringue of the whites of two eggs and two tablespoonfuls of sugar, spread over the top and brown lightly in the oven. Serve cold with a cream or a thin custard using the two egg yolks, a pint of milk and sugar with flavoring to taste. Cook the custard until it coats the spoon and chill before using. Cream Puffs With Chocolate Sauce. —Prepare the cream puffs by taking one cupful of boiling water, one-half cupful of butter, one teaspoonful of sugar, boil one minute, then add all at once one and three-fourths cupfuls of flour. Stir until smooth and the mixture leaves the sides of the pan. Then add five eggs, one at a time, beating between each egg. Drop from the tip of a tablespoon onto a buttered sheet, one and one-half inches apart; bake one-half hour in a hot oven or long enough to bake them, so that when lifted they feel very light and feathery. Fill when cool with sweetened whipped cream and just before serving pour over a hot chocolate sauce. Pineapple Marmalade.—Take one cupful of pineapple, three oranges sliced very thin, one lemon also thinly sliced, two cupfuls of sugar, five cupfuls of water. Cover the lemon and oranges with water and let them stand over night; cook for two hours in the morning, then add the sugar and cook an hour longer, adding the pineapple the last half hour. This recipe makes six jelly glasses or about two and one-half cupfuls. Pineapple Sundae — Line sherbet glasses with lady fingers, put a layer of ice cream, then two tablespoonfuls of crushed pineapple and top this with more cream and a cherry. To can sausage, fry the slices, pack into two quart cans and fill up with the hot fat. Melt before removing when used and the cakes may be taken out without breaking.

CANNING, PRESERVING MEATS In many homes, not only in the country but in many small towns, it is an economy to preserve meat, if even in small quantities. I In corning beef, meat from fat animals makes chocer meat than from those lack- ing in fat. Meat should be corned as soon as possible after the meat has chilled, but under no circumstances let it freeze. Weigh the meat and allow eight pounds of salt for 100 pounds of meat. Sprinkle a layer of salt one-quarter of an inch in depth in the bottom of the barrel, pack the cuts of meat as closely as possible, making a layer six inches thick, then put a layer of salt and repeat until all the meat is packed, reserving enough of the salt to make a good layer over the top. After standing over night add four pounds of sugar to each 100 pounds of meat, two ounces of baking soda and four ounces of saltpeter, dissolved in a gallon or tepid water. Add three gallons more of water to cover the meat. Place a board with a weight of iron to keep the meat under the brine. Rusty meat is caused from allowing the meat to become exposed to the air. If the brine becomes ropy, it will have to be poured off and a new brine added; this will sometimes occur in warm weather. Canning Chicken.—Dress and cut up the chicken or leave whole if preferred. Cover with boiling water and simmer until tender. Remove the bones and cover them with the chicken broth; cook until reduced to one half. Pack the meat closely in jars, add one teaspoonful of salt to each quart and fill up the jar with the hot broth, adjust the rubber and top but do not seal tight—the rule is to screw the top down tight then unscrew halfway round; this allows an equal pressure inside and out of the can and its contents will not boll out. Cover with boiling water and sterilize in a boiler or canner for three and a half to four hours. Seal at once when removing the jars and invert out of a draft. Can the broth in the same way; this may be removed in one and one-half hours. "We scheme, we toil, we pray, In wretched plight For what—three meals a day, One sleep at night." EVERYDAY GOOD THINGS Mutton is a wholesome meat which should be served more frequently. Re- move all bits of skin and there will be no woolly taste. ```markdown ``` Haricot of Mutton. — Fry two tablespoonfuls of onions in two tablespoonfuls of drippings, add one and one-half pounds of lean mutton cut in two-inch pieces, salt and pepper well and cover with boiling water. Cook slowly until the meat is tender. Serve with buttered lima beans. Green peas may be used. Jellied Apples.—Pare, core and slice one quart of apples. Butter a baking dish and put in a layer of apples, covering each layer with sugar until a cupful is used. Add one-half cupful of hot water, cover and bake in a slow oven three hours. Soften one tablespoonful of gelatin in one-half cupful of cold water and dissolve in one-quarter of a cupful of boiling water. Mix carefully through the hot apples, turn into a mold and serve with or without cream. Spanish Toast.—Cut up two green peppers, a slice of onion, two sprigs of parsley and add a cupful of thick tomato sauce. Simmer the mixture until it is smooth. Toast rounds of bread, butter and put a spoonful of the tomato mixture on each round of toast with a poached egg on top. Fish Balls.—Make a white sauce using one tablespoonful of butter, one tablespoonful of flour, salt and pepper to taste, one-half cupful of milk and two well-beaten eggs. Cook until smooth, then stir in one cupful of flaked fish. Drop this batter by spoonfuls into hot fat. Drain on brown paper and serve at once. Fried Hominy and Ham.—As a substitute for the ever present potato, try this dish. Put one tablespoonful of ham fat in a frying pan, add well cooked hominy and stir until well mixed with the hot fat; add one-half cupful of minced ham, a tablespoonful of minced parsley. Those who like onion will enjoy a tablespoonful of minced onion added to the hot fat and well cooked before adding the hominy. Apricot Salad.—On a bed of shredded lettuce arrange a layer of sliced bananas. Over this place the halves of two canned appricots. Top with whipped cream to which a teaspoonful of highly seasoned salad dressing has been added.

The blossoms are a dull red, with white stamens. The leaves are much larger than those of the painted trillum, though the general shape is the same—a diamond design. EXPERTS TO GIVE STRIKE FACTS SECRETARY OF LABOR WILL MAINTAIN SPECIALISTS TO SECURE INFORMATION. MEN STUDY INDUSTRIES GOVERNMENT IS CONDUCTING PROBE INTO BITUMINOUS COAL AREAS. ( Western Newspaper Union News Service. ) New York.—A plan which the government is working out, to supply the public with disinterested information when strikes threaten industry, was described by Secretary of Labor Davis at a meeting of the women's department of the National Civic Federation. It consists of maintaining specialists trained in each of thirty-two "key" industries in the nation, he said, thus enabling the government to have on hand a complete file of accurate information and data concerning conditions in any given line. "If we had thirty-two such keymen," he said, "it would be a simple matter to appoint a government board or commission of experts, thoroughly familiar with the questions involved." Until the government has complete and accurate information on every important industry, he declared, "we will never get anywhere in industry in America." "As it is now," he continued, "no one can tell which side to believe. There is propaganda sent out by both sides. Under the proposed plan, the government, at the beginning of a labor difficulty, could give out an official statement which would form the basis for an accurate and just opinion. "The proposal for specialists in each industry would bring about just this result. The specialist would live with an industry, year in and year out, and would be familiar with every one of its phases and its details." Secretary Davis said that the government is now conducting an investigation in thirty cities in coal mine areas to obtain definite data affecting questions of miners' wages. "The miners' officials were in his office two days, he said and agreed to meet with the operators. "The public, however, is entitled to know the facts about all industries, and it is a great satisfaction to know we are to get the money from Congress to develop this information service." Mr. Davis urged support of the government's alien enrollment measure, declaring a great deal of "bootlegging with aliens from Cuba, Mexico and South America into the United States" had developed. Many aliens from countries whose quotas have been completed and are unable to enter here, go to Cuba, Mexico or South America, he said, and after a short residence in those countries, obtain passports and get by in that way. He estimated that more than 30,000 Chinese, 40,000 Mexicans and many Japanese are illegally in the United States and that about 30,000 aliens are now in Cuba waiting for a chance to get in. 200 Families Homeless Corinth, Miss.—A canvass of the ruins caused by the tornado which struck Corinth has been completed and shows that more than 200 families have been rendered homeless by the storm. Davis Plan Favored. Phoenix.—Speakers before the Colorado river commission at Phoenix voiced unanimous approval of the Davis plan for development of the Colorado river. One of the outstanding recommendations of this plan, which has been submitted to Congress, is the construction at once of the Boulder cafion dam to forestall possible destruction of the Imperial and Yuma valleys by flood waters. Votes Tariff for Hides Washington.—An import duty of 15 per cent ad valorem on hides has been voted by Senate finance committee Republicans who are rewriting the Fordney tariff bill. Hides were on the free list under both the Payne-Aldrich and Underwood laws, and would have so remained under the Fordney measure. President Harding's Aunt Dies. Stevens Point, Wis.—Mrs. Sarah Bancroft, aunt of President Harding, died at the home of her grandson, A. F. Barrows, at Stevens Point, recently. Lord Carson Attacks Government. London.—During a debate on the Irish free state bill in the House of Lords, Lord Carson bitterly attacked the coalition government, declaring it had abolished constitutional government and had laid down the principle that by executive action could be brought about not merely constitutional changes but revolution. He said: "You have known how to bring the British government to its knees, surely you can do the same with Ulster." MOTOR MACHINE Sanitary Groce Fresh Fruits and Vegetable Groceries of all kinds.
