Colorado Statesman

SUBSCRIBE FOR THE ONLY RELIABLE PEOPLE'S PAPER IN COLORADO "THE COLORADO STATESMAN" THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY JESSIE A. ZACKERY IS A SOPRANO OF ABILITY VOL. XXVIII. A fairly good-sized audience gathered at Mother A. M. E. Zion Church on Monday evening, March 13th, when the Dunbar Dramatic Club presented Jessie Andrews Zackery, soprano; J. Mardo Brown, tenor, and Edwin Coates, pianist, in an interesting program. Main interest centered in hearing Mrs. Zackery, who came from the far West some time ago to pursue her voice studies under one of New York's most important vocal instructors. She had made two previous appearances, I am told, but neither was under very auspicious circumstances. In Monday night's recital she disclosed talent of a high order. She is in possession of a voice of velvety smoothness and unctuous tone which is not detracted from to any extent by a slight tendency, at times, to hardness. This ample native talent has been enhanced and developed by evident conscientious study and a sane idea of what was necessary, with an intelligent conception of its possibilities. The result is an organ of great beauty, equally at home in interpreting songs with strong dramatic elements or in illustrating coloratura music. In the latter class was her final number, Proch's Air and Variations, a composition favored greatly by Tetrazzini and Galli Curci. I don't know when I've heard one of our race singers whose singing had so much of the bravura quality in her combination with accurate pitch and depth of color. Mr. Brown sang several groups with a more pleasing sense of interpretation than of tonal quality. There was a lack of sweetness of tone not compensated for by admirable technique and intellectual understanding. Another hearing of this singer is necessary before placing a final estimate upon his ability. The playing of Mr. Coates contained all of his usual technical skill, but he did not seem to be greatly interested in his task, playing with an unusual perfunctoriness for so excellent an artist. The accompaniments for Mr. Brown were played by L. F. Dyer, with James Walker at the piano for Mrs. Zackery—New York Age. MADAME JESSIE ZACKERY, Denver's sweet singer, has MADE GOOD. This will be pleasing, but not unexpected, news to her legion of home friends, for Jessie Zackery has a way of making good in anything she undertakes. But she has now successfully passed what many regard as the supreme test. She has appeared before and completely captivated a New York audience, and New York audiences are not only critical but cynical and decidedly provincial. They know but little of the West, and yet a western girl has invaded the great metropolis and scored a signal triumph. She crossed the beautiful and historic Hudson not to surrender but to conquer. Mrs. Zackery is distinctly a western product. The broad, rolling prairies as well as towering peaks and vaulting blue sky have been her companions since early girlhood. The very foundation upon which she has now erected a beautiful superstructure of culture and refined art was laid here, and when last fall she turned toward the far East for the first time she carried with her the hearts and hopes of the many who knew of her ambitions and State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House have ever since awaited the gladseason tidings that appears in the article above. THE COLORADO STATESMAN shares fully the just pride that must crowd the hearts of her relatives and many admiring friends. White Baltimoreans Attack and Wreck W. T. Pratt's Home Baltimore, Md.—That the white man's intolerance is restricted by neither law nor conscience was evidenced here on Monday night, March 6th, when white hoodlums and lawbreakers practically wrecked the front of the house into which Harry T. Pratt, principal of one of the colored public schools, had moved his family on the preceding Saturday. Mr. Pratt, who had lived for years on Druid Hill avenue, recently purchased a home on Sanford place, and it happened that his was the first colored family to occupy a house in that block. Moving into this new home really marked the beginning of Mr. and Mrs. Pratt's honeymoon, as he was married, for the second time, just recently. As a means of showing their resentment and indignation, white residents of the neighborhood turned vandals and stormed the house during the dark hours between Monday midnight and Tuesday morning, with bricks, revolvers and blue and red ink, and when they departed, the front of the building was wrecked. Every window was shattered, the front door barely hung upon its hinges, and vari-colored inks were spattered over marble steps and window blinds. The Pratt family is determined to remain and protect their rights as American citizens, to live in their own home. Chaplain Gladden Dies Las Angeles, Calif.—Captain W. W. E. Gladlen, U. S. army, retired, died March 11th at his home, 1445 Dana street. Death came suddenly and unexpected. He had been ill with heart trouble several months. Funeral services were held Monday, March 20, from Independent Church. Major G. W. Priolean officiated. Chaplain Gladden is survived by his wife, mother and four children. Where a Jim Crow Car Came in Handy Atlanta, Ga., March 17.—Seven persons were killed and nine injured when a passenger coach on the Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic railroad was derailed near Union City. The coach fell off a trestle. It so happened that the Jim Crow coach on the train was in the front, where most of the smoke was. The car which was derailed was the last of the train and as it fell it broke away from the ones in front of it. All the persons killed and wounded were white. BLE PEOPLE'S PA ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 25 1922 N. A. A. C. P. Backs Denver Branch in Fight Against Ku Klux The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today announced that its Denver branch would have the full support of the national office in its fight against the Ku Klux Klan. The announcement followed press reports that George W. Gross, president of the Denver branch N. A. A. C. P., had received a threatening letter from the local Ku Klux Klan, warning him to leave town because the branch had filed a protest against the application made by the klan for incorporation. The following telegram was sent at once to Mr. Gross, who is messenger to Governor Shoup of Colorado: "George W. Gross, Esq., Governor's Office, Executive Chamber, Denver, Colorado. "Have just seen account of Ku Klux threat made against you. National office stands behind you and Denver branch and will do everything possible to assist. Wire us if we can be of any service. Have demanded action by Federal Department of Justice." The following telegram was sent at the same time to Attorney General Daugherty in Washington: "Hon. Harry M. Daugherty, Attorney General, Washington, D. C.; "George W. Gross, Governor's Office, Executive Chamber, Denver, Colorado, has just received, according to Associated Press dispatch, threatening letter purporting to be from Ku Klux Klan because he, as president of Denver branch National Association for Advancement of Colored People, recently filed protest with attorney general of Colorado against recent application for incorporation of Ku Klux Klan in that state. National Association for Advancement of Colored People urges immediate investigation by Department of Justice of makers of threat. "JAMES WELDON JOHNSON, "Secretary National Association for Advancement of Colored People." Report Peonage Conditions at Democrat, Ark. A letter from a Negro farmer in Democrat, Ark., received and made public today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, reports conditions of peonage as prevailing there. The letter reports that Negro farmers are told to work without being consulted about the amount of the rent to be taken from their produce or about supplies furnished them. "Mr. ____ is promised to furnish us money," says the letter, "but he is done changed an' furnishing coupon books to his croppers. Mr. ____ will just come out from town an' write out what he want us to have; never ask us what we want nor nothing, so he ain't doing us right. I cleaned up a forty (acre section) in the south half of 22, an' the officers from Forres' City come and drove me off of the land; come with their pistols an' made me move an' had paid $88 down on the land. An' please take steps on this such things is what got the people stirred up." The Advancement Association announced that the letter would be called to the attention of the Federal Department of Justice. --- N. A. A. C. P. Takes Hand in Michigan Senatorial Contest Points Out to Michigan Newspapers That One Candidate Voted Against Dyer Bill. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today announced that a letter was being sent* to the most important newspapers in the state of Michigan, pointing out that in the approaching contest for Senator Townsend's seat in the United States Senate was a man who had voted against the Dyer anti-lynching bill in the House of Representatives. That man is Representative Patrick J. Kelley from the Sixth Michigan Congressional District. The letter sent to the Michigan newspaper follows: "Sir—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and its friends in the state of Michigan are interested in the contest for Senator Townsend's seat in the United States Senate. This interest has been aroused because Representative Patrick H. Kelley of the Sixth Michigan congressional district, who has announced his candidacy against Senator Townsend, opposed and voted against the Dyer anti-lynching bill, H. R. 13, which was passed 230 to 119 by the House and is now before the Senate. Colored people throughout the United States want the Dyer bill enacted into law. They know that such eminent constitutional lawyers as Attorney General Daugherty and Moorfield Storey, former president of the American Bar Association, as well as former senator, now Representative Burton of Ohio, hold the proposed legislation to be constitutional. With such eminent authority in favor of the Dyer bill, colored people hold that the final decision on its constitutionality must be left to the Supreme Court. Under the circumstances they are not disposed to accept Representative Kelley's excuse that he voted against the Dyer bill because, as he claims in a letter published in the Michigan State News of March 9, 1922, "every lawyer knows that Congress has no jurisdiction over the subject matter." That lawyers as well as laymen know otherwise may be demonstrated to Mr. Kelley in the course of his campaign. Whatever may be the other issues of the campaign, colored Americans will have in mind that the Dyer bill constitutes an issue of supreme importance to orderly government in the United States. JAMES WELDON JOHNSON, Secretary the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Delicatessen Store Proved Real Saloon Delicatessen Store Proved Real Saloon "Tomatoes" Was Password for Gin, While "Beans" Brought Real Rye Whisky. New York City, March 17.—White federal prohibition directors, with blackened faces and hands, bought liquor in the delicatessen store of Lewis Immerman, white, 456 Lennox avenue, and then raided the place, carrying off several truck loads of liquor. Four hundred bottles of gin alone were found, one hundred bottles concealed in a barrel of dill pickles. The store caters especially to colored trade. The agents found that in order to obtain gin the password was "tomatoes," while "beans" brought rye whisky. When a customer asked for a small can of tomatoes he would receive a small can of tomatoes, together with a half pint of gin for which he was charged two dollars. MOB CLUBS JUSTICE IN OWN HOME Texas Jurist Kidnaped and Still Missing Klan Suspected. Beaumont, Tex., March 21.—Judge J. A. Pelt, 63, for several years justice of the peace at Sour Lake, last night was spirited away from his home by unmasked men. Today it was stated at his home that he had not returned. Mrs. Pelt said that she and her husband were sitting in a porch swing when someone came in and demanded Judge Pelt. They seized him and when he resisted, Mrs. Pelt said, he was clubbed with a pistol and dragged away unconscious. It was reported later that a man answering Judge Pelt's description had swung off a Gulf Coast train at midnight and that he had a coating of tar and feathers. Mrs. Pelt said that within the past week her husband had received three letters signed "K. K. K." warning him to leave the city.

Colored Boy Named by New York Congressman as Candidate for Annapolis Colored Boy Named by New York Congressman as Candidate for Annapolis New York, March 17.—Congressman Martin A. Ansorge has appointed Emile T. Holley, a colored boy, of 102 West 138 street, to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. Holley is named as the principal candidate. No colored boy has ever graduated from Annapolis, nor so far as is known has any been named in the past forty years. Congressman Ansorge announced that of the four appointees to Annapolis which he was privileged to make for the Twenty-first Congressional District, it was a matter of simple justice and fair dealing that one should be a colored boy. The others named are Thomas H. Reed, Arthur J. O'Reilly and Vincent Henry. Congressman Ansorge said that his colored appointee was highly recommended to him by prominent people of both races, and he felt sure that he would be a credit to him and the colored race. In speaking of the nomination, Congressman Ansorge said: "I have tried to live up to the principle of the 'square deal' to all my constituents, and on that basis I feel that of the four appointments to Annapolis at my disposal, my colored constituents are entitled to one as a matter of simple justice. The colored boys enlisted or were drafted in the World War, irrespective of race, and if they are good enough to fight for Uncle Sam they are good enough for appointment to Uncle Sam's academies. Three colored boys have already graduated from West Point. Why has there never been a graduate from Annapolis?" NO 24 Threat to Dynamite Church in Texas Arouses Members Beaumont, Tex., March 21.—Notices were posted last night on the doors of the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church for Negroes, which is endowed by the Drexels of Philadelphia, threatening to dynamite the church and to tar and feather the pastor, the Rev. A. A. Laplante, it became known today when Sheriff T. H. Garner and Mayor B. A. Steinhagen received a communication of protest signed by more than a dozen citizens. The text of the protest which denounced "the outrages committed by the cowardly anarchists who placed two notices signed by the Ku Klux Klan on the doors of the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church for the population of Beaumont, said: "We desire to call the attention of our fellow citizens to the growing tendency toward anarchists in this county and state, and we call upon them to join us in keeping alive the traditions of our country and help us preserve inviolate the bill of rights of our federal and state constitutions so that a government of mobs and caprice shall not take place of law and order."

Jackson spoke from the 5th chapter of Judges and 23rd verse, showing his congregation that the people of Merosy were cursed because of inactivity. When they could have helped the Lord they did not do so. He said we must not be neutral in the life of a Christian but steadfast, positive, decisive for Christ's kingdom. Sunday morning he spoke from the subject "Keep yourselves in the love of God." Rev. Carter spoke from the 28th chapter of Deut. and 13th verse. He told his audience the Jews had an opportunity to be head of races but chose to be the tall. To be head we must have God as our leader. We need God as a race to be our leader today; to be leaders of the spiritual world need God at the front. Let us not allow us desire to be gods of society or to be servants of mammon to take the place of the one God. The Literary met last Friday night and had a "Question Box."

Original Home of Porcelain A man working in a pottery workshop. Chinese Potter at His Wheel. (Prepared by the National Geographic So- The greatest industrial city of China is Ching-teh-chen, a place which perhaps not one American in a hundred has heard of. But when it is added that this out-of-the-way place, 300 miles inland and without rail connections, is the original home of the porcelain industry of the world and still the great Chinese center of the industry, the town takes on a certain significance. There are few cities in America or Europe that are so completely given over to a single industry as this one. Though the methods of production are primitive, the city must still be classed as an industrial center. It is a rare privilege to visit this conservative but interesting old place and see with one's own eyes the fascinating process of pottery making from beginning to end. Chinaware! What does the word connote? Simply a ware made of clay and named for the country that first produced it. Whether it be a green tile from a temple roof, a dish, a vase, or a painted ornament from a wealthy celestial's home, it all has a traceable connection with Ching-teh-chen. With the Chinese, Ching-teh-chen and porcelain are synonymous. In order to get a fair understanding of the situation, it will first be necessary to let the reader know the location of this place and something of the difficulties in reaching it. After locating Shanghai on the map of China, one should trace his way up the Yangtze river to Klukiang, south of which lies Po Yang lake. The quickest and surest way of reaching Ching-teh-chen is to proceed from Klukiang to Nanchang, the capital of the province, by rail. This trip can be made in a day, barring accidents, though the distance is only 90 miles. In prospect it does not seem a difficult task to cover the distance between Nanchang and Ching-teh-chen, 120 miles, but in reality the trip requires more time than it takes to travel from San Francisco to New York. One must cross the east end of Po Yang lake and then push his way up the North river into the heart of the mountains, to a point not far from the Anhwei border. "Town of Scenic Virtue." The first view of Ching-teh-chen from an approaching boat, with the smoke issuing from the chimneys of scores of kilns, is an amazing one. The city is located between the mouths of two rivers which flow into the North river, one from the east and one from the west. The town is naturally supplied with an abundance of fresh water, the clearness of which stands out in vivid contrast to the muddy yellowness of the Yangtze and of Po Yang lake. Beautiful hills completely surround the city, those on the east rising to a height of about two thousand feet. The river banks are dotted with pine and camphor trees, while occasional groves of bamboo in lighter green add a charm and beauty difficult to describe. Ching-teh-chen ("Town of Scenic Virtue") is one of the four largest towns (as distinguished from cities) of China. Technically, it is a town, because it has no wall. In reality it is a busy industrial city of 300,000 people, two-thirds of whom are engaged in the manufacture and sale of porcelain. Romantically, it is a city to stir men's souls. Longfellow, in his "Keramos," speaks of it. Historically, it dates back to the Han dynasty, 220 A. D., during which period we find the first records of the production of porcelain in China, though earthenware vessels were probably produced some centuries earlier. Two main streets, about three miles long and conforming to the contour of the river, comprise the principal thoroughfares. The city is about a mile wide. Furnaces, warehouses, shops, and homes are crowded together in a hopeless tangle. Great mounds of chipped and defective porcelain, clay chips and broken dishes are piled high along the river bank. In fact, one first notices these pieces of porcelain in the bed of the stream several miles below the city, washed down by high water. These dumps must be 30 or 40 feet thick. They represent the accumulated offcastings of the kilns for centuries. There are now between 150 and 200 big yellow chimneys in the city. It is said that Ching-teh-chen in her most flourishing days boasted several thousand kilos. Most Conservative of Cities. The most unusual feature of the city of Porcelain is its conservatism. "Bu k'ait'ung" (not open to communications) is heard on every hand. Although China is the home of the printing press, there is not a single newspaper, either daily or weekly, published in this city of more than a quarter of a million inhabitants. The reason given for this unprogressive state of affairs is that the magistrates have always opposed the press, on the one hand because they are afraid of its political influence, and on the other because of the financial support that would be involved. Ching-teh-chen is devoid of electric lights and telephones. The few rickshaws which now facilitate communications are fighting for existence. A number of workingmen's gullds have petitioned the chamber of commerce to abolish the rickshaws on the ground that they interfere with traffic. The geographical location of Ching-teh-chen is not accidental. It became the pottery center of the country centuries ago because of the enormous quantities of excellent clays in the district around Po Yang lake. All of these clays are brought to Ching-teh-chen in the form of soft, white bricks by small, flat-bottomed boats. Thousands of Chinese boatmen are engaged in this work. After the clays are thoroughly cleansed, sifted, and refined they are kneaded together in varying proportions, usually by a barefooted boy, until they are ready for the potter. The wet lump of clay is then placed on the knob of the potter's wheel. The potter is perched above the wheel, with one foot on either side, in order to allow sufficient space for the movement of his hands. After revolving the wheel swiftly with a short pole, he deftly and with mechanical precision fashions a plate, bowl, or vase. After years of practice he can estimate to within a hair's breadth the proper size. The piece is then removed and placed on a long tray in front of the potter, where it awaits the next artisan. Handles and other decorations, made in molds, are added, and then the whole is scraped smooth and allowed to dry until it is ready for the next process—the under-glaze decoration. Several basic colors, like blue and red, can be painted on under the glaze. The glaze is next applied in various ways—by dipping, by blowing on with a tube, or by sprinkling. After the mark has been added the piece is ready for the furnace. Firing the Porcelain. Porcelain placed in the kiln to be fired has to be protected in strong, cylindrical clay vessels, called saggers. These trays can be used from three to six times before they are ready for the scrap heap on the river bank. Every piece of porcelain, as it is set into the sagger, is placed on a small, round, clay chip, sprinkled with straw ashes. This prevents the fusing together of the two pieces. The fuel for the furnaces at Ching-teh-chen is of two kinds—straw and wood. Coal has been tried, but it was found that its fumes discolored the porcelain, and accordingly its use was discontinued. Straw is used to burn only the coarser ware. The kilns are large, egg-shaped ovens of brownish brick, fifty feet long and twelve feet high at the highest point. Because of the intense heat, both the kilns and the chimneys must be rebuilt annually. There is no unemployment in Ching-teh-chen. Work is plentiful, but industrial conditions are bad. Long hours, poor food, no rest days, and unsanitary living conditions cause a great deal of dissatisfaction among the laborers. Wages range from ten cents to one dollar per day, varying not according to the number of hours, but according to the number and quality of the pieces produced. But no artisan must work too long. If a man is found doing too much and working beyond the time limit, he is set upon by his fellow workers and severely beaten. Firing the Porcelain. Women Oppose Equal Rights Amendment Bonus Bill to Be Pushed in Congress "The Abigail Adams Clothesline Story" "Upward Swing of Economic Pendulum" WASHINGTON.—Objection to any equal rights amendment to the federal Constitution, and to the blanket bill adopted by the Wisconsin legislature and pending in nine state legislatures now in session, was unanimously expressed by women labor leaders called into conference by the legislative committee of the National Woman's Trade Union league. The delegates were all trade unionists from various parts of the country and collectively represented about 600,000 organized working women. Mrs. Raymond Robins of Chicago, president of the league, said that danger to special laws protecting women in industry lurked in any blanket measure such as the constitutional amendment now under consideration by the National Woman's party, the tentative draft of which forbids "political, civil or legal disabilities on account of sex or on account of marriage unless applying to both sexes." The most dangerous feature of the blanket bill proposed for action by REPUBLICAN leaders in congress have decided to force a bonus bill through despite the fact that any form of bill which can be passed cannot meet the approval of President Harding unless he should alter his attitude. The sales tax as a means of raising revenue has been abandoned. The President said that was the only available means of revenue to justify the soldiers' compensation bill at this time. Therefore a bill that does not contain a sales tax might encounter a presidential veto. Realizing this, the Republican leaders are going ahead and EVERY now and then an allusion to the "Abigail Adams clothesline story" gets into print. Doubtless there are many who do not know the story. They should. It's a classic and it's especially timely, now that "Uncle Joe" Cannon, who was first elected in 1870, has announced that he will not be a candidate for re-election. It's a good sample of the kind of parliamentary tactics that made Uncle Joe a power in his day. Here it is, in brief: It was back in the early years of this century, while Uncle Joe was Republican floor leader and before he became speaker. Following a remodeling of the White House there was an auction sale of old furniture, including a sideboard. Thereupon a newspaper announced with great gusto that the sideboard had been presented to Mrs. Hayes by the young ladies of Cincinnati—to show their appreciation of her application of rigid "temperance" principles—and declared that only iconoclastic imperialism would dare to sell so priceless an historical relic. Whereupon a Democratic member drew up a resolution of many whereas, demanding an investigation of the heinous transaction. Introducing it, he spoke at great length and with BUSINESS BUSINESS STAGNATION USINESS throughout the country, progressing through well-defined circles, is nearing the point of the upward swing of the economic pendulum, according to the annual report of the federal reserve board transmitted to congress. "There are those," the report said, "who believe that the beginning of revival is not far distant. When it does definitely set in it will be followed in due course by a new era of prosperity." Business, in one of its "long swings" from prosperity, the report said, has followed its usual rotation, MIRROR HIS AID One lone clerk tends an unusually long newsstand at one of the railway stations. One lone clerk—and a mirror. The stand is divided into three sections, one of which is devoted to candy and newspapers and the remaining two to magazines. The pillars that divide the three sections are decorated with magazines in racks, and make it impossible for the clerk to see down the entire length of the counter. The clerk stations himself at one end—the EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT NO! WORKING WOMEN all state legislatures is believed by the woman trade unionists to lie in the provision giving women freedom of contract, which threatened to deprive women of the protection afforded by collective bargaining. They agree that women are the victims in many states of unfair laws, but want these repealed severally and specifically. The delegates will prepare a formal statement of their position, which is supported by the National League of Women Voters. have determined to take chances, believing it could survive a presidential veto. A prominent member of the ways and means committee said that there are not sixty members of the house nor twenty members of the senate who are opposed to a soldiers' bonus. He said further that a majority of the Republican members had come to the conclusion that a bonus bill would not put the party in jeopardy at the forthcoming election. These leaders are now leaning to a bill which will provide for revenue from interest payments on the foreign debt, no matter what may be recommended by the ways and means committee. The committee, however, is also leaning to this source of revenue, and it is predicted that such a bill would pass the house by an overwhelming majority. When such a measure goes to the senate that body may amend it by providing an issuance of bonds or debt certificates of some vlad. MR. SPEAKER, WHERE IS THAT CLOTHESLINE NOW? much vehement. Really the Republicans didn't know just what to do about it. It was "pennut politics," but the situation was annoying. Then up rose the member from Danville, Illinois. With the coat sleeve on his right arm drawn up to show several inches of white and the index finger of his left hand describing parabolic curves, Uncle Joe got recognition. With his very best poker face on he cried: "Mr. Speaker, we are told that in the early days of this republic Abigail Adams hung out her laundry to dry in the East Room of the White House. Great Heavens, Mr. Speaker, where is that clothesline now?" It is a Washington tradition that the unroarious yell of laughter that followed has never had its equal in the house of representatives. which it described as business activity and increased production; excessive expansion and speculation, followed hitherto by panic and forced liquidation; a long period of slow liquidation; business depression and stagnation, and then revival. "In the light of recent experience," the report warned, "we should remember, when we again enter into a period of full prosperity, that a reaction will follow, sooner or later, and if the flow of the incoming tide can be controlled so that the crest may not be reached too rapidly, nor rise too high, the subsequent reaction will be less severe and the next period of industrial and commercial activity and general prosperity will be marked by saner methods, greater achievements along constructive lines, and by a longer duration than any which we have had before." The board confined its report to an account of the operations of the or organization for the year 1921, without offering any suggestions for legislation. candy and newspaper section. A long mirror hangs along the other wall of the stand at the far end and high up. Hence any hopeful gamin or dishonest passenger who makes an attempt to take one of the magazines from the far end of the stand is easily detected. —Chicago Journal. Explaining a Home Problem.

DISASTER OF 1917 Inside Secret of the Great World War Now Revealed. Crushing Defeat of the French Armies Under General Nivelle Due to That Leader's Overconfidence. The Revue de Paris is printing, month by month, the fullest account yet given of the greatest disaster sustained by the allies on the western front during the war. This was the defeat of the French armies under General Nivelle between Relims and Solssons on April 16, 1917. The account is given by M. Palnleve, who was the French war minister at that time, though he only came into office when the plans for the battle were complete and their execution almost inevitable. M. Palnleve often has been attacked for his own action before and after the smash, so he speaks as a party to a case. Still, more of what he says is only new in the sense that it has not been fully published before, though it was substantially known to the French and British general staffs within a few weeks of the calamity. The French attack, commonly known at the time as the Chemin des Dames attack, was to be the main blow of the Franco-British offensive for the year. Sir Douglas Haig, placed provisionally and with some qualification under the supreme command of Nivelle, was to attack on April 9 from near Arras in the north to our right flank near St. Quentin in the south. Our part of the work was to draw off the German strength from the critical point, to kill and be killed and keep Ludendorff busy rather than to penetrate far. The whole scheme was Nivelle's. Nivelle had been made commander in chief in succession to Joffre the Christmas before, to the exclusion of Foch and Petain. Nivelle was at the moment the latest fashion in general. French political feeling that winter was in a state of reaction against the "Somme school"—the school of Foch and Haig, the "limited objective" school, the school which restricted the depth of infantry advances to ground on which artillery had quite ruined the enemy's defense. Nivelle represented a new "Verdum school" of swifter, deeper advance. He had succeeded at Vaux and Douaumont a few months before, by making his men advance in a way that the "Somme school" would have thought reckless—because they or their predecessors had tried it in 1915 and found it disastrous, but this was forgotten; fashion had changed; it had gone back to the more slashing fashions of 1914 and 1915; Foch and Haig were back numbers, Nivelle was the man, and wisdom would die with him. So he was given the whole Franco-British offensive in 1917 to mold at his will. His mind was completely made up by New Year's day, 1017. He had not a shadow of doubt, from then on, that he would be able to drive straight northward from Reims towards Brussels, behind the German front, cutting off the German northern armies. To anyone, soldier or statesman, who suggested a doubt or an extra precaution he said, in effect, "Leave it to me. I pledge you my word we shall win." To infect the troops with his own optimism he circulated freely among regimental officers full written details of the plan of attack, the date, the attacking strength, everything. This was done in January. Within a fortnight the enemy knew it all. Ludendorff in his book of memoirs tells us how a German raiding party captured, in the pocket of a dead French captain of the second division, the French plan of battle. The Germans had now two months in which to fit up as an abattoir the ground which Nivelle meant to capture first. They drew back their whole line between Arrus and the British right, futilizing the great part of the intended British division. Then they sent down to the Reims-Solssons front the troops thus economized. Then they rigged up on the high flats of Vauclerc and Craonne, where the chief hopes of Nivelle's coming attack centered, such an aggression of machine guns and quick-firing guns, hooded with concrete and metal, as no troops ever had to face, before or after.—Manchester (Eng.) Guardian. A Welsh Poet Miner. Huw Menal Williams is Wales poet-miner, who bids fair to bring Welsh literature to the attention of the Anglo-Saxon world. Born in Carnarvonshire, Williams has been a coal miner at Glamorgan since he was sixteen. His work has therefore been entirely inspired among the sordid surroundings of a mining town. Intellectually, he is a self-made man. The remarkable thing about William's verse is that it is written in English—an acquired language for him and one that he has no extraordinary command of. His book, "Through the Upcast Shaft," is causing a furore in England.—From Argonaut. Iceland Ponies. Iceland ponies run well in company. Out of fifteen or twenty, one or two will soon be recognized as the leaders, and the rest will follow these; but no amount of whipping will persuade them to go even a short distance separately—a fact which the traveler soon finds to be very inconvenient if his pony does not happen to be a leader, and he is yet anxious to deviate occasionally to examine objects of interest off the track. This inability to run except in company has gained the Icelandic ponies a character for stupidity in this country, where they are seldom used except in the coal mines. 1027 Twenty-first St. Denver Office Phone Main 2701.

CLEAN UP! HIS sounds like a command and in reality it is one for the time of the I year is near at hand when all good citizens should take a new hiteh on their civic pride. The dread winter months are fast slipping into for- xetfulness and the cobwebs of neglect need to be brushed aside for the entry of spring. But their is something more to “spring, gentle spring” than merely welcoming the first robin, or noting the early budding lilac or fast approaching greensward. In the back yard some tin cans have accumulated between the first and the last of winter's snow fall, some ashes here, debries there and many other things have piled up to detract from the real buty of a well-kept home. ‘Then perhaps some paint is needed places, or a crumbling walk around the house, or il-kept shrubbery calls for your attention, Thus our city authorities, with an eye single to the up-keep and beauty of the community have declared a general Clean-Up week for early in April, ‘This command should be heeded by all citizens and especially do we hope those of the colored race will take {ull advantage of It. We have stated before and we state now that Negro property owners really excel in the matter of beautiful Inwns and attractive premises and there should be no relaxation this year. A neatly kept home, with equally neat surroundings answers many questions and gives the lie Girect to our would-be defamers. It is far better to have the praise of those who envy us than to be com- pelled to fall back upon the apologies of those who in charity would defend us, THE NEGRO IN THE NORTH. HE March number of Current “History, 2 magazine published monthly T by the New York Times Company, contains an article on the Negro in the North, by Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the Nutional Urban League. Mr, Jones is a keen student and shrewd observer of the domestic and economic status of the Negro, and therefore his observations are worthy of more, than passing note. He is not given to large claims nor exaggerated statements, but confines his views to plain facts and actual conditions that are patent to all who take the pains to study them as he has. But he has a pleasing style and his deductions, logical to the point of severity, are yet easy of grasp. It is probable, as he observes, that the day of whole- sale migration of the Negro from the South to the North is over for a good many years to come. And it is well, for there is imminent danger in a sudden planting of any people in a community under conditions that involve such a complete change as is afforded in the North. The great majority of southern laborers come from small rural districts of “come easy, go easy” environ- ments that calls for but little worry as to every-day existence. ‘True, there ure some accumulations of comforts as comforts go in the South, but these are so hedged in by other detested conditions that makes life anything but safe and property anything but secure. Arriving in the North, it is found that a man must be a hustler, he must prepare for the proverbial rainy day and safeguard against the rigors of a northern winter. He must go to the butcher shop for his meat instead of reaching into his smoke house. A thirty- Gay credit at the grocery store or coal office stands out in bold contrast with a season's credit by an indulgent landlord, who figures most indus- triously at the end of the season. In the South, as we have said, he enjoys a rural existence with comparative outdoor freedom, In the North he lands in the big cities with its close-in tenements and narrow confines, In the South he has his garden spot, while in the North he looks out for the huckster wagon, But even with these advantages and disadvantages the Negro is finding life in the North far preferable to that of the South. The immediate danger lies in the yery unfortunate inclination to locate in big cities. Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Newark and New York seem to possess allurements for the southern Negro that are all but irresistible, and here lies the tragedy of the problem, Mr, Jones comments | with painful accuracy upon the effects a larger freedom apparently has upon the Negro from the South énce he has gained a foothold in the North. He tells of his rude, unbecoming behavior in public places, of how he boards the street cars while returning from work without changing his working clothes, of groups of men in shirt sleeves and women with cloths tied around their heads hanging out of windows or sitting on front porches in unkempt garb without regard for the refinement of their surroundings. ‘This is all too true and adds a heavy burden to our already complex problems. Yet this. does not altogether militate against substantial progress and accumulations of property and wealth by those of the Race who have a firm conception of opportunity, Hence we see a constant growth and upbuilding of business enterprises, of banks, drug stores, hotels and moving picture houses. Profes- sional men arise to the call of the hour and count their accumulations by the thousands. Politicians and preaches find the Negro city within a great city a profitable quarter to ply their trades. But after all, is this the safest ground upon which to build the fortunes und future of a great race? Far be it from us to offer a discouraging word to anyone whose ambitions lead them to flee the accursed oppressions of the South, Rather would we encourage it with the admonition to seek the land and outdoor life of the great West and Middle West. It is a lesson of history that the mortality rate among Negroes in some sections of a great city, improperly housed, poorly fed and clothed, is simply appalling. ‘Thus we gain but little by the influx, even though the Urban Lengue, by almost super- human adherence to duty, has succeeded in remedying conditions in a measure. But there js still a large work ahead, and next to the securing of our civil rights and equality of opportunity, must come a real improvement in the conditions under which children are reared and homes provided in ‘our greatly overcrowded cities, Then again, civie pride, neatness of dress, modesty of behavior and respect for others must be taught and accepted, ‘else the Negro problem in the North will grow larger and larger as the years go on. Mr. Jones has presented a great picture and its lines must be care- fully studied by leaders, community workers and those engaged in social uplift, for this is truly one phase of the problem that we must settle for gpr- selves. Churches we have a-plenty and to spare. Give us more and ctr schools, more and better homes, more and better community centers, more und better playgrounds, These form the constituent elements of substantial progress and moral outlook that must be ours if we are to ever become a great race. ©.

It avoided all extremism and adopted the wise course of making no excessive demands for special favors or class treatment. ¥ am very sure that the wisdom of this course will be demonstrated here- eRe out ix In the general industrial and business situation there is much to jus- tify confidence that we are well past the worst phases of the agricultural crisis, that improvement is well begun, and that it will continue steadily from this time forward. This is not only a source of satisfaction to every friend of the farmer, but also to whoever is interested in any phase of American business, for we have all come to recognize the interdependence of all departments of the national industrial establishment. No one of them ¢an prosper permanently if any other great branch of national activity is depressed. Therefore, in expressing my conviction, based on a wide array of information, that the worst is past as concerns agriculture, I am recording my firm belief that an era of better business and more prosperous times, for the entire commercial establishment of the country, lies just ahead of us. I feel, therefore, that we are entitled to look with much satisfaction upon what we have accomplished in the last year, and with all confidence to the future. Sesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesese Good Transportation Facilities a Great Source of National Wealth By COL, H. L. BOWLBY, Pres't Am. Road Builders’ Ass'n. WbeSeSeseSesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesebeseseseseses Good transportation facilities constitute one of the greatest of the eources of national wealth. We really do not need to search the pages of history to realize the vital part that highways have played in world devel- opment. In our day, I believe, the highway will become the great rival of the railroad. The passenger automobile and motor truck industries, two of the greatest in point of capital invested and output, are absolutely depend- ent for their stability and growth upon good roads. In establishing our highway systems and in building our roads the motor traffic of the future must be gauged and ample provision made for a rapid increase in the vol- ume and weight of highway traffic. While highway improvement has made tremendous etrides in the Uni- ted States in recent years it is still in its infancy. ighty-five per cent of American roads are yet to be improved. It is not now so much a ques- tion of raising the money required to build good roads as it is the prob- lem of spending wisely the large sums available in every state for this purpose. The number of road engineers is entirely too small for the ex- isting demand.

HUTCHINSON, in Mining and Scientific Press. eSeSeSeSesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesescsesesesrseseseseseseseoes In the old partnerships it was quite a thing to be a member of a firm in good standing. When the corporation came we had a president, a vice president, a secretary and a treasurer. Now the mere president is quite a distance below the actual throne. Over the president we have no less a personage than a chairman of the board of directors or, perhaps, a chair- man of the executive committee. It is an insignificant executive indeed who Yoes not have a group of assistants in various capacities. Whereas the vice president in the old days was supposed to be second to the president, we now have a whole flock of vice presidents in charge of finance, sales, production, engineering, ete. Then we have assistants to the president, vice presidents, and so on down the line. Again we have secretaries to these various scions of the indus- trial aristocracy, and worse yet, there is the secretary to the secretary to the president, rendering greater the splendid isolation of the big boss him- self. Industrial life is indeed complex; in fact, as one might say, it is be- coming “complexer and complexer.” Sesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesese We've Been Trying to Lift Ourselves by Our Boot Straps Long Enough By GEORGE M.

Before a good sized crowd at the Y. M. C. A. building at Twenty-eighth and Glenarm last Sunday, Hon. Iver Dailey, a member of the State Legislature from Huerfano county, delivered a wonderful address. His subject was "The Negro's Loyalty to Humanity, Home and Flag." Mr. Dailey ably presented the Negro's unquestioned loyalty under any and the most trying circumstances and closed with a plea for equal opportunity and social justice that fairly swept his audience off their feet. It is a rare, but a wholesome novelty for a white man in these days to come out so openly and without compromise as did the learned and eloquent legislator last Sunday. There was earnestness of power that carried conviction home to the heart of every person present. THE COTTRELL CLOTHING CO., Denver's reliable men's furnishing house, has long catered to the refined tastes of our "best dressers," and their 1922 spring offerings will in every way sustain the high class reputation gained in the past.

The third annual report of the transactions of the clerk of the District Court of the city and county of Denver, is a highly interesting and important public document. Mr. W. A. Dollison, clerk of the District Court, has, in the three years he has served the people, brought the office up to a high plane of efficiency. He has installed many reforms and conducted the affairs along definite business policies, with the result that the earnings of the civil division for the year 1921 show a considerable net profit over expenditures for the first time in the history of the office. The city and county of Denver is fortunate in having at the helm of such an important branch of its government, Mr. Dollison, whose high conception of duty and obligation makes of him a worthy public servant. The COLORADO STATESMAN has long been an ardent admirer of Mr. Dollison, both as a citizen and as an official, for he has measured up to every requirement and proved worthy in ever trial. Were the same degree of careful painstaking and efficiency evidenced in other departments of our government there would be less of complaint over the burdens of taxation and a high regard for those who serve us.

Sunday, March 12th, the citizens of our city were startled with the sad intelligence of Mrs. H. A. Mitchell being stricken with a paralyx stroke about 7 o'clock a. m. Mrs. Mitchell never regained consciousness and quietly passed to the great beyond at 4:30 o'clock p. m. Mrs. Mitchell had many friends in Cheyenne among both white and colored. Mrs. Mitchell had lived in Cheyenne forty-six years and was numbered among the oldest citizens here. Mrs. Hannah Augustine Mitchell was born at Carol Parish, Baton Rouge, La., August 12, 1858; was 64 years of age at the time of her death. She was married to Mr. Wm. McGivens Dec. 5th, 1878. Of this union two children were born, one passing away in infancy, the other, Mrs. Adelaede Gaskin, wife of Mr. B. T. Gaskin, and grandchildren and other relatives mourn her absence from this world. Mrs. Mitchell united with Allen Chapel thirty-five years ago. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. A large number of friends were in attendance. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. Mrs. Richard Gaskin of Omaha arrived Monday with Mildred Gaskin, granddaughter, who is attending school in Omaha. Another dead sad death was that of Mrs. E. B. West, wife of Mr. Otis West, who passed away in Los Angeles, Cal., Saturday evening, March 11th, 1922, at 6:15 o'clock. The remains of Mrs. West were accompanied home by Mrs. Crowley, a dear friend, and the beaver husband, Mr. West, Thursday afternoon. Funeral services for Mrs. West were held from the Second Baptist Church amidst a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends. Floral offerings were very elaborate and beautiful. Mrs. West was a faithful worker in church and her last work was a splendid concert, which she trained forty little children, and success crowned her efforts. Mrs. West left Cheyenne shortly afterward for California, as this concert proved too much for her failing health, Mrs. West was a patient sufferer. Mrs. Emma Belle West was born in Fulton, Mo., June 28th, 1879; united with the church in 1895; came to Cheyenne in 1914; united with the Second Baptist Church in 1919. She leaves to mourn her loss, husband, daughter, son, little granddaughter and one sister and two brothers. Resolutions of condolence were read from the following auxiliaries of the church: The Mission Circle, Sunday school and church. Rev. I. N. Whitten paid a glowing tribute to the deceased. The music by the choir was very appropriate. All concerned have the sympathy of the community. The sick are getting better slowly. Mr. Charles Hopkins, formerly of Cheyenne, departed for home at St. Paul, Minn., Friday afternoon. Mr. Hopkins paid a short visit to relatives and friends here. Mrs. Poole Turner is visiting Denver and other points in Colorado. Mrs. J. H. Moss will spend Easter in Colorado Springs. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Randall will depart soon to attend the Shriners meeting in Washington, D. C., and then will go to the Pacific coast before returning home. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Stemons have purchased a home on the corner of Eleventh and Snyder streets. The Improvement Club of Allen Chapel had an excellent time Friday evening at the trip around the world. The Willing Workers are planning to surprise us soon. The Woman's Mite Missionary of Allen Chapel are on the map, too. Look out for their big doings soon. Rev. I. N. Whitten is spending a few days in Denver. Miss Rachel Butler arrived in Cheyenne last Tuesday to attend the funeral of Mrs. Mitchell and returned to Denver Sunday. OBITUARY RECORD.

The Hotel Ad the famous Uni UGO STINNES, Financial Kaiser! Germany appears to have exchanged a political and military kaiser for a financial and industrial kaiser. The Hotel Adlon on the famous Unter den Linden is literally the new Imperial Palace in Berlin. On the third floor is the Stinnes suite and here sits the man who gives orders to Germany—and to other countries. A glimpse of the corridors is sufficient to suggest the extent of Stilnes' operations. Here, day after day, a crowd of business men wait patiently to be summoned to the presence and be given their orders. Each has a portfolio. Each has come, from far or near, to report. They are the directors and executives of the many and far-reaching enterprises owned and controlled by Germany's new financial and industrial dictator. The list is endless—newspaper editors, bank presidents, coal miners, shipping officials, politicians, statesmen and what not. When Stinnes appears in the corridor it is to rush through; he is always in a hurry; those with him are put to it to keep up. He acknowledges no salutations. He brushes interviewers and photographers aside. Awe falls upon all as he passes. "That was Stinnes!" they say, after he has passed. Stinnes poses as a sphinx. But his power is very real. It seems literally true that the fall of the house of Hohenzollern brought about the rise of the House of Stinnes. Under cloak of the new republic Stinnes hides a sovereignty that is not the less absolute because financial and industrial instead of political and military. Those who protest against Stinnes' power in Germany also declare that he is working toward a consolidated Central Europe to be created through economic domination instead of military means. His general plan is said to be first to secure economic resources and the newspapers in the various countries bordering on Germany. A chorus of protest is heard from the press of Central Europe. Control of newspapers, not only in Germany but also in Austria, Czechoslovakia and Hungary, makes Stinnes a newspaper king, says this press, which charges that he is now negotiating with the owners of scores of well-known publications all through Central Europe. For instance, the Kassal-Hirup of Koscia, says he began by gaining control of the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, after which he formed a kind of amalgamation of the following Berlin publications: Die Post, Deutsche Tageszeitung, Deutsche Zeitung and the Taglische Rundschau. This newspaper then continues: "He bought the German news agency, known as the Telegrafenunion, and then one newspaper after the other in large provincial towns came under the control of the greatest financial juggler Germany ever produced. He bought the Munchen Augsburger Tageszettung, and threescore of other smaller and larger newspapers, and in order to be able to feed them with news, he purchased the Rammert telegraph agency, supplying news items to 400 other than Stinnes concerns. Several paper and pulp factories were secured in consequence of the newspaper purchases, among these being the Henckell-Donnersmarck paper mills." Another Czechoslovak newspaper, The Nep, advises its readers that Mr. Stinnes has got the controlling interest in the most popular morning and STONE KEPT TIME There is exhibited in the British museum a large stone, composed of carbonate of lime, which has served as a natural timekeeper. This stone is, indeed, an actual time record for the work done for a long period in an English coal mine. The stone was removed from a colliery drain. When the miners were at work the water passing through the drain left a deposit colored black by the coal dust; Photo by International WAL evening publications of Budapest, including Az Est, the Besti Nuplo, and the Magyarorszag. Furthermore it states that "there are but few newspapers of any consequence in the Hungarian capital which are not owned by Stinnes." The explanation given of his wholesale buying of newspapers is that Stinnes intends to realize the dreams of Professor Naumann, who visioned a consolidated Central Europe, including Poland and Belgium, which should be created by military means. But Stinnes, it is said, aims to reach the same goal through economic domination. His purpose is to secure first economic resources and then press organs in the various countries bordering on Germany, in order that he may spread German political influence. As far as industrial possessions are concerned, it is asserted that he is well along his way. He left the Hamburg-American line, where he was one of the directors, and took a directorship in the Norddeutscher Lloyd, of which he is the principal stockholder. He owns the majority of the Air Route lines in Germany and Scandinavia, and he is now engaged in establishing others in Austria, Danube navigation in Germany and Austria, as well as in Hungary and Roumania, is in his hands. He is interested financially in the Austrian Daimler factory and the famous Skoda works, and he owns the Elbemühl paper mills. Finally, with these mills, the Elbemühl newspapers, as well as the Vienna Allegemeine Zeitung and the Der Neue Tag, two daily papers, came into his possession. These are but a very small part of the assets Stinnes is in control of, says the Kassal Hirlap, and "just because of his extensive interests in almost every part of Europe, the dominating influence of his newspapers in foreign countries is the more dangerous. To allow a string of newspapers to be controlled and directed politically by foreign interests is just as dangerous as to allow political legislators to come under the dictation of foreigners." Stinnes was born at Mulheim, in the Rhineland, in 1870. The report that he is a Jew is not true. He inherited coal mines. Today he controls 60 mines. Berlin bankers estimate that he is the richest individual in Germany. The hand of Stinnes, it is charged, demolished the industries of northern France. The coal mines were particular objects of destruction. All told, 220 mining operations were rendered useless. They were flooded, dynamited, filled with waste materials or set on fire. Their rehabilitation has been especially difficult and slow. The French estimate that these mines cannot be brought up to pre-war production before 1930. In other important industries of the invaded district the degree of destruction ranged from 60 to 100 per cent. For example, the but when no work was done the water ran down clear and left a white deposit. In the course of time these deposits built up the stone. Each day of work left a black streak, immediately followed by a white streak made during the night. Wide white streaks indicate the holidays and Sundays. Destroyed the Destroyers.

Photo by Underwood & Underwood important sulphuric acid industry was 80 per cent damaged, the sugar mills 90 per cent, iron foundries 80 per cent and the textile mills were from 60 to 100 per cent destroyed. Five thousand factories were laid waste, and the entire vital productive capacity of the region reduced to a pitifully low figure. They were competitors of Stinnes' concerns. Today coke, coal, gas, electricity, railroads, steel, forests, factories, shipping, harbors, shipbuilding plants, hotels, newspapers and what not are all parts of Stinnes' industrial machine. He owns more than seventy newspapers and controls the Reiter Bureau, the Associated Press of Germany. Stinnes' enemies charge him with being an industrial buccaneer. They say that in the creation of his vast enterprises he has used every device for coercing rivals and transforming opposing corporations into subsidiaries. In Germany he is chairman of the boards of twenty-one corporations and a member of twenty-six others. Stinnes is a member of the reichstag. He dominates the Volkespartel or People's party. Somehow or other he manages to pose as the spokesman of the laboring classes. Stinnes is rather short, and bulky. He has a black beard, bushy eyebrows and a crooked nose. His eyes are piercing. His manners are harsh and despotic. His dress is careless. The Stinnes derby hat is famous—it is black, with narrow brim and high crown and he always wears it. They say in Germany that some day, this financial kaiser is going to pay America a visit—to effect an industrial alliance and establish markets. In the meantime, he is doing his best to replace "Made in Germany" by "Made by Stinnes." But will he last? Any estimate of things German is no more than a guess. Feminine Finance.

LOUIS CLOSED FIRST-CLASS CRUISER WITH AN INTERESTING HISTORY IS OUT OF COMMISSION. FRUSTRATED A GERMAN PLOT How Her Crew Prevented the Destruction of the Interned Gunboat Geier at Honolulu—Convoyed Many American Troops to Europe. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—One of the former prides of the United States navy has just ended her long career at sea. The cruiser St. Louis, until recently flagship in Turkish waters, has been placed out of commission at the Philadelphia navy yard. The St. Louis is a protected cruiser of the first-class type, with a displacement of 10,500 tons. A number of guns were removed to make way for troop spaces, but originally the cruiser's main battery consisted of 14 six-inch 50-calibre guns and a secondary battery of 18 three-inch 50-calibre guns. She was named for the city of St. Louis. She was launched at Philadelphia on May 6, 1905. She was first commissioned on August 18, 1906, at the Philadelphia navy yard, League Island, Pa., with Commander Nathaniel E. Usher in command. After visiting Brazil, Chile, Peru and other ports along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, she arrived at San Francisco on September 6, 1907. Before the war with Germany was declared the St. Louis entered in her log an account of warlike service in frustrating a German plot and saving the wharves and shipping of Honolulu from destruction. On February 4, 1917, the German gunboat Geier, which was interned at Honolulu in August, 1914, started fire in her boilers and a column of smoke was seen rising from her stacks, and the actions of the crew about the decks were suspicious. Ready to Fire on German. The St. Louis, then in the harbor, cleared for action and a party shoved off to board the Geier. Two of her officers went aboard and informed her German commander that they had come to take possession of the gunboat and extinguish the blaze for the protection of the water front. One section of the party sent to secure the magazines found shrapnel fuses scattered about, ammunition holists dismantled and flood cocks battered into uselessness, with sea valves closed. A fire of wood and oil-soaked waste had been started under a dry boiler. The decks above and woodwork were ablaze, and the danger of exploding the dry boiler made it impossible to use water in extinguishing the fire. The crew of the St. Louis used lines from bow to stern of the gunboat and warped her across to another pier, where she was more accessible to the chemical engines of the fire department and less a menace to adjacent shipping. After an all-day fight with the blaze it was extinguished without damage to other property. The St. Louis was again commissioned on April 6, 1917, and 72 hours after war was declared, left her peacetime station at Honolulu for a Pacific-to-Atlantic voyage. After passing through the Panama canal she visited Guantanamo, Cuba, to take on board more than 400 marines and went to the Philadelphia navy yard. She steamed more than 120,000 miles during her two years of war service, participating in eight outgoing convoys which accompanied transports and cargo ships carrying thousands of troops and vast amounts of supplies. She trained more than 1,200 men and 50 officers for the armed guard and other duty. New Calendar Is Urged. Can you tell what a month is? Our months vary from 28 to 31 days—11 per cent difference. Yet the same monthly salaries and rents are inequitably paid. Monthly business charges for maintenance, depreciation, etc., are in that crude way unfairly proportioned; camouflaging monthly profits as though each month was productively one-twelfth of the year—a fallacy refuted by March of this year, which has 14 per cent more earning power than February, which is only one-thirteenth of the year. These are but a few of the arguments of proponents of the plan of calendar reform embodied in the bill recently introduced by Representative Schall of Minnesota. Numerous other reasons are presented by the advocates to support the need for a substitution of the present time calendar by dividing the year into 13 months of 28 days each. The Liberty Calendar Association of America, which recently held a convention in Washington, is supporting the liberty calendar bill, which would put the new time schedule into effect in 1928, as affording a standard time schedule every year, which would definitely fix for all time the dates of every day of the week by the uniform 28-day month division and thus dispense with the need of yearly calendars and end the inconvenience of having to refer to these to establish the coincidence of days and dates. "New Year Day" to Stand Alone. In 365-day years the odd day remaining would be disposed of as "New Year day," the first of the year to be given no other designation and re- trained as a legal holiday. In "leap year" the additional one day lap would be disposed of by creating a "Leap Year day" between the months of June and July, as a legal holiday. The extra month on the calendar would be called "Sol." The proposed calendar would begin the week with Sunday as now. Thus 1928 was selected for installing it because it then begins with the week. The same dates for every month then would be fixed for each day of the week until the end of time. An estimated saving of $25,000,000 a year now expended on calendars would result from the international adoption of the calendar bill. Moses B. Cotsworth of Vancouver, British Columbia, secretary-treasurer of the International Fixed Calendar league, is probably the originator of the calendar reform movement. He attended the recent convention here of the Liberty Calendar Association of America and outlined his plan for a thirteen-month year, which was unanimously adopted. "Yearal" and "Sol" Suggested. Mr. Cotsworth's plan proposes to replace the dual names "calendar" and "almanac" by the name "yearal." The "yearal" is designed to abolish all calendar-caused inequalities. It is pointed out by Mr. Cotsworth that every nation now calendars its days through the year by weeks of seven days. The days, however, were not so grouped when the world's many different calendars of clumsy months were crudely imposed upon our remote ancestors about 2,000 years ago. "We cannot alter the lengths of days, weeks or years," he declares. "But all the months can be easily amended to the twenty-eight days used in February, 1914, when the weeks quartered February best for business and social convenience. That ideal month of February, 1914," he said "is my model for the new 'yearal' of thirteen months." "Sol" has been selected as the name for the additional month by Mr. Cotsworth. "Sol," he said, can be inserted between June and July, as easily as "leap day" was put between February and March, 1920, as February 29. This proposed month, with the twelve existing months, will equally divide and complete the "yearal," according to his plan, which has been unanimously indorsed by the Royal Society and the government of Canada. Watching "Equal Rights" Bills. Fourteen million women will be granted or denied "equal rights" under the laws of nine states by the legislatures now in session and scheduled to act soon on the "equal rights" bill drafted by the National Woman's party. The women in these nine states form approximately one-quarter of the number of women in the entire United States, or according to the 1920 census, 13,821,879. The states are: New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Kentucky, New Jersey and Rhode Island. 61 Specific Disabilities. Among these states are some of the worst in the country in regard to their laws concerning women. Of the list of 61 specific disabilities of women tabulated by the Woman's party experts, every one is found in the statutes of at least one of the nine states in question. The disabilities suffered by women in these states are classified by the legal research department of the Woman's party under three heads: Discrimination against women as mothers, discrimination against women as wives, and discrimination in general, which includes property and inheritance rights, jury service and office holding. Political, legal and civil disabilities alone are affected by the Woman's party bill which does not enter upon the industrial field, but specifically provides that "this act shall not affect laws regulating the employment of women in industry." Called Vital by Alice Paul. Alice Paul, vice president of the Woman's party, made the following statement in connection with the campaign for the blanket equal-rights bill in the states: "Nothing so vital to the happiness and welfare of any great group of the people in this country will be decided within the next two weeks as these state bills affecting the lives of fourteen million women. Upon whether they are passed or not depends whether mothers shall be separated from their children; whether they shall have any voice in the education or training of their children; whether married women shall have control over the money which they earn; whether women shall have equal opportunity r training, and equal freedom in the choice of their professions." International interest in the present campaign of the women in this country for equal rights is evidenced in a recent issue of the International Woman's Suffrage News, in which one of the editors expresses the vivid interest of the women of all countries in the effort of the women of America, and in commenting upon the group of women supporting protective industrial legislation for women, says: "I confess myself amazed that any body of women with an advanced or feminist program should for a moment hesitate between the securing of full equal rights for the women of the United States and the power of imposing 'protective' legislation on women in industry. Women who are really placed in a position of equality with men, in law, custom and thought, will be found to be remarkably little in need of restrictions and protections." Legislation, simil r to that proposed in the nine states mentioned above, was passed in Wisconsin in June, 1921. MAJORITY GIVEN SOLDIER BILL FATE NOW LIES WITH SENATE WHERE OUTCOME IS UN- CERTAIN. HOUSE PASSES BONUS HOUSE PASSES BONUS BOTH FACTIONS APPLAUD AND JEER DURING FOUR-HOUR DEBATE. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Washington.—The $4,000,000,000 soldiers' bonus bill was passed by the House by an overwhelming majority. It now goes to the Senate, where its fate is regarded as uncertain. The vote was 333 to 70, or sixty-four more than the two-thirds majority necessary for passage of the measure under the parliamentary procedure selected by Republican leaders for the expressed purpose of preventing the Democrats from offering a motion to recommit. Party lines disappeared both in the general debate and on the final roll call, 242 Republicans, 90 Democrats and 1 Socialist supporting the bill, and 42 Republicans and 28 Democrats voting against it. As passed by the House, the bonus bill would provide for immediate cash payments to veterans whose adjusted service pay would not exceed $50, and would give to other veterans the option of these four plans: Adjusted service certificates, with provisions authorizing loans by banks in the first three years after next Oct. 1, and by the government thereafter, the certificates to run for twenty years and to have a face value at maturity of the amount of the adjusted service credit at the rate of $1 a day for domestic service and $1.25 a day for foreign service, increased by 25 per cent, plus interest at the rate of 4½ per cent compounded annually. Vocational training aid after Jan. 1, 1923, at the rate of $1.75 a day, the total payments not to exceed, however, 140 per cent of the adjusted service credit. Farm and home aid under which veterans purchase or improve farms or homes would be paid after July 1, 1923, a sum equal to their adjusted service credit increased by 25 per cent. Land settlement, under which lands would be reclaimed under the supervision of a special board and farm units established for sale to the veterans at a price fixed by the board less the amount of the adjusted service credit due the purchasers. In only two important particulars does this measure differ from the one passed by the House two years ago and that shelved in the Senate last July. The original cash bonus option was eliminated and the bank loan provision of the adjusted service certificate title substituted. Not since the war days had the House galleries been jammed as they were from the time Speaker Gillett's gavel fell at 11 a. m., until the last vote had been cast as the shades of evening enveloped the capital. And not in many years had such scenes been enacted on the floor, where frequently there was an uproar with alternate applause, laughter and jeers. Allies to Consider U. S. Claim.

Washington.—American railroad operation last year resulted in the accidental death of 5,587 persons and the injury, more or less serious, of 43,324, according to compilations made public by the Interstate Commerce Commission. This was, however, a decrease under the totals reported for 1920, when 6,495 persons were accidentally killed and 63,786 injured. The commission estimated that the decrease in number of persons killed was 14 per cent, and 32 per cent in the number injured. Oklahoma Governor Arrested Oklahoma Governor Arrested. Okmulgee, Okla.—Gov. J. B. A. Robertson of Oklahoma submitted to arrest here on a charge of accepting a bribe to permit operation of the Guaranty State Bank of Okmulgee while it was in an insolvent condition. The governor immediately made a bond of $5,000 for his appearance at trial. The charge against Governor Robertson was based on a joint indictment returned by the grand jury here naming the executive and Fred Dennis as recipients of a $25,000 bribe from John R. Ebold, wealthy oil operator. British Submarine H-42 Sinks London.—The British submarine H-42 has been lost with all hands in the Mediterranean, says a dispatch from Gibraltar. She collided with a destroyer during maneuvers. The destroyer was the Versatile. The latest naval list says the submarine, commanded by Lieut. Douglas Sealy, had a complement of twenty-three men. An admiralty report says the H-42 was rammed by the Versatile, while exercising off Europa point, Gibraltar, in 500 fathoms of water. THE WAREHOUSE A Homemade Closet Is Inexpensive and Convenient. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) vices will not be used oft e the scribbles on the card. For generations housekeepers have taken pride in their orderly linen closets, well-stocked preserve and jelly closets, and their neat kitchen cupboards. While not so attractive to look at, the cleaning closet is just as important. By grouping together brooms, brushes, dusters, mops and all the many things needed in cleaning, and keeping the closet in order, the housekeeper need not waste time or take extra steps in collecting these things when she wants to use them. It is a more sanitary and tidy practice to store cleaning tools in a place by themselves than to leave them in a corner of the kitchen or pantry, as is often done, the United States Department of Agriculture points out. The cleaning closet should be convenient to the whole house. Sometimes, especially in large houses, a good arrangement is to have a cleaning closet on each floor with a supply of the things most frequently used. If a built-in closet is not available, an old wardrobe may be fitted up. Sometimes the cleaning closet opens off the back hall or the combination laundry and washroom, which is found an almost indispensable room in many farmhouses. This, also, is a good place for it. The cleaning closet should be ventilated by cutting holes in the door or by means of a transom. Shelves should be arranged for the cans and bottles of cleaning materials and other small articles, and there should be plenty of hooks at proper heights for brushes, brooms and mops. These should be hung so that the weight does not rest on the straws, bristles, or strings. The carpet sweeper, also, should be set or hung so that the weight does not come on the brushes. Good Tools More Economical. Well-made, durable tools are generally most economical in the end, though they may cost more at the outset. It is well, of course, to have a complete set of tools and materials for cleaning the many kinds of materials in the house, but this does not mean that a large collection should be bought hawazard. Some cleaning de- WASH FRUITS FOR CHILDREN All Market Produce Should Be Cleaned to Remove Dirt, Bacteria and Residue. Children should have fruits, also celery, tomatoes, and salads not only to give variety in their school lunches, but especially to supply the vitamins and other food elements necessary for healthy growth, agree nutrition specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. When they eat any of these uncooked foods at home it is probable that the mother has washed the fruit or vegetable properly before serving it. All market produce needs washing to remove dirt and dust, bacteria, and sometimes particles of spray residue. The best fruits and usually the best-looking fruits are those from trees which have been properly sprayed while the fruit was in its early stages and sometimes the spray may not have weathered off the fruit before harvest. Children should not be given money to buy their own fruit from hucksters or stands unless there are facilities at school for washing it. They should be drilled in the practice of washing what they eat of these uncooked products, as a matter of ordinary cleanliness. MARSHMALLOW FUDGE RECIPE Ingredients Include Granulated Sugar, Sirup, Milk, Bitter Chocolate and Walnuts.

The oily cloths used in polishing floors and furniture, especially if moistened with linseed oil, are a serious fire hazard unless kept in a covered fireproof container. A tin or galvanized iron can with close-fitting lid is good for this purpose. Tools last longer and work better if put back in the closet clean and ready for use the next time. Care of Various Kinds of Mops. Care of Various Kinds of Mops. Once a week, or oftener, if necessary, the box of the carpet sweeper should be opened over dampened newspaper, the dirt emptied out; and hair and lint cleaned from the brushes with a buttonhook, coarse comb, or old scissors. The mechanism should be kept properly oiled. A vacuum cleaner should be looked after in the same way, except that in addition the bag should be emptied. Dry or oiled mops should be well shaken each time after use, and occasionally should be washed in hot soapsuds, rinsed in clear hot water, and dried as quickly as possible. Oiled mops may be renewed by pouring on a few drops of kerosene or floor oil and leaving them stand until the oil spreads through the strings. If too much oil is used, the floors will be darkened, and a surplus of oil will be left on the surface. Dust cloths should be washed frequently, because a little dirt comes out more easily and because dirty cloths often leave as much dust as they take up and may scratch highly polished surfaces. The oil in "dustless" cloths may be restored by adding to the rinse water a little kerosene or floor oil (about one tablespoonful to a quart of water), or by pouring a few drops of oil on the dry duster, rolling it tight, and letting it stand until the oil spreads evenly. House cleaning often seems a hard task and it pays to plan the work carefully and to keep the home clean rather than labor to make it clean. OYSTER DRESSING MIXTURE Scalloped Kind Are Preferred by Many Cooks Because Flavor Is Lost in Cooking. An oyster dressing is made by adding to a highly seasoned bread stuffing, oysters equal in bulk to the breadcrumbs. Mix thoroughly one quart of soft breadcrumbs, a cupful of butter, melted in two-thirds cupful hot milk or water, one-half teaspoonful salt, one teaspoonful of spiced poultry seasoning, and a beaten egg. Omit the egg if the dressing is to be eaten hot. A cold dressing slices well when the egg is used. Add oysters and stuff the turkey. As long cooking detracts from the flavor of oysters many cooks prefer scalloped oysters served with turkey.

Stir in two cupfuls of flour, beat well and set away in a warm place until light. Add the yolks of two eggs, half a teaspoonful of salt, half a teaspoonful of sugar, one-fourth of a cupful of melted butter and flour enough to make a dough to be kneaded. Knead until smooth. Cover and set aside to become light. Shape in small balls, cover on a board until double its bulk. Take a ball, press a cavity with the thumb and set into this half a teaspoonful of jelly; work the dough over the opening to enclose the jelly and have it just under the top crust. The roll should be shaped like an egg; let rise to double its bulk. Bake about twenty minutes in a hot oven. Bavarian Easter Cake.—Cream one cupful of butter with one and one-half cupfuls of sugar; add the yolks of seven eggs, beaten until lemon colored and thick, alternately with three to three and one-half cupfuls of flour, stirring and beating well.

Cook one cupful of macaroni in salted water until tender, drain and put with well seasoned white sauce into the shell, cover with well buttered crumbs and let brown in the oven. Wrap the outside of the shell with a thick paper to keep the heat from destroying the color of the shell. Green Butter.—This is nice to serve with various dishes on any occasion when green is to be the color note. Wash two ounces of fresh parsley and cook until tender in just the water that clings to the leaves, adding no more unless there is danger of burning. When tender pound to a paste with a little anchovy for flavor and mix with three ounces of butter, mixing well. Press the whole through a fine sieve and keep on ice until ready to serve. As a garnish for fish this is especially attractive. Ribbon Salad.—For each service place a slice of fresh or canned pineapple on two or three heart leaves of lettuce; on the pineapple place two sections each of orange and grapefruit free from all membrane; between these sections place an eighth of an apple, with a bright red peeling left on. Serve with mayonnaise. Hot Rice With Hot Chocolate Sauce.—Mix one-half cupful of rice with one teaspoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of grated nutmeg, one-third of a cupful of sugar, one-half cupful of raisins, with one quart of scalded milk. Turn into a buttered baking dish and bake slowly for two hours, stirring occasionally during the first hour. After two hours add one pint of cold milk and continue baking three-fourths of an hour longer. Serve with hot chocolate sauce. Sponge Cake Custard.—Spread slices of sponge cake with raspberry or currant jam. Arrange them in a buttered, paper-lined pudding dish, sprinkled with finely crushed peanut brittle. Beat three eggs, add one-half teaspoonful of salt, three tablespoonfuls of sugar and a pint of hot milk. Pour over the cake and bake until firm. Serve hot or cold. "Let future generations harvest the gains in peace which shall rest in part on today's discovery that war can never be depended upon hereafter to do so," he said. "We must worse off than others, but long, heavy misery of taxation for all concerned." MORE TO EAT A delicious little morsel found in a dainty tea room is toasted bread and morsel found in a toasted bread and butter spread with scraped maple sugar and clinnamon well mixed. I Maple Sugar Cream Cake.— Mix one cupful of maple sugar and one egg, add one cupful of sour cream, a level teaspoonful of soda, two cupfuls of pastry flour, one-half teaspoonful of cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Mix well and bake in layer tins, top each with boiled frosting, substituting one-half the quantity of maple sugar for the frosting. Cheese Cakes.—Scald two and one-half cupfuls of sour milk, strain through a cheese cloth and add one cupful of sugar to the drained curd, four egg yolks slightly beaten, the juice and grated rind of a lemon and one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt. Line small patty tins with pastry, fill with the mixture and sprinkle with chopped almonds and nutmeg. Bake until the mixture is firm in the centers. Fig Souffle.—Cook five washed figs in a light sugar syrup until very soft, drain and cut in very fine bits. Beat the whites of four eggs until stiff, add one-half cupful of sugar and a pinch of salt; continue beating until well blended then fold in the figs and add grated orange peel to flavor. Turn the mixture into buttered and sugared custard cups, set into a pan of water and bake until firm. Serve with sugar and whipped cream. Creoles.—Beat three eggs until thick. add gradually one cupful of soft, light brown sugar. Mix and sift three-fourths of a cupful of flour with one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of ginger. Add to the first mixture and beat three minutes. Add one and one-half cupfuls of pecan nut meats. Fill small fluted tins two-thirds full of the batter and bake fifteen minutes. Spread with maple frosting and decorate with one-half of a pecan meat pressed in the center of each. Tomato Celery Sauce.—Chop one onion, one green pepper and a large bunch of celery. Mix, add two and one-half cupfuls of canned tomato from which the liquor has been drained, one and one-half teaspoonfuls of salt, two tablespoonfuls of all-spice berries and two-thirds of a cupful of vinegar. Let simmer one and one-half hours. Nerie Maxwell Aiding Nature in Her Work Aiding Nature in Her Work TO repair the damage done by destructive forces is a process of no short time.

In the End, It Will Be Found That Explanations Are in the Nature of a Guess. Most people take their words (and their phrases, too) ready made; that is, they learn a small vocabulary from hearing other people talk, and afterward, finding the same words in books and dictionaries, they are emboldened to use them in their speech and writing. If they ever wonder where these words came from originally it is in a vague, listless way, rather like the way they look upon mysterious astronomy. If one pins a comparatively small class down to their actual knowledge of the English language one can learn something more definite, but still nebulous. This small educated class really has heard of the Angles and Danes who impinged their language on the Picts and thus started the Anglo-Saxon boom. It will tell you also how Julius Caesar brought his cohorts into Britain and almost succeeded in making it a Latin-speaking island. Coming down to the year 1066, the same cultivated persons explain by means of the Conquest the large number of French words that have been more or less Aligned that we use every day. And when we ask why there are so many German words in our tongue it is only necessary to recall the fact of a common Teutonic origin of the sailors and beachcombers who lived either in the fens or along the shores of Europe and England. They spoke what may be called a common language. After Shakespeare, Milton, Dryden, Ben Jonson, Sam Johnson and other notable writers had introduced more Latin, Italian and French words into the language and invented a few of their own English may be said to have been finished. Really every language, including English, is extraordinarily conservative and resents new words. All the same new words do get into them. These words are sometimes required to describe new things in the arts, sciences, etc. When Morse invented his code a handy word had to be made and so arose telegraph and a variety of derivatives. The airplane has given us in turn several new words. Slang gives us a novel word now and then. For instance, the word "boycott" had no trouble at all in finding its way into our tongue and into most European languages. It arose from the treatment of Capt. Boycott of Lough Mask House in the County May in 1880. "Boston," a new word for a new card game, got into the language earlier. It comes from the siege of our city of Boston in 1775-76 and the moves of the game follow all the strategic moves in this military history. Pomp, meaning a solemn procession, comes from the the Latin word pompe, which was in turn derived from the Latin verb pempeln, which means to send. Meddle, to mix, is a distortion of the word middle, but it has as good a place in the language now as its forebear. Who knows where the word haberdashery comes from? Ask any man who sells neckties, collars and other little things to adorn (perhaps) the person of man and he hasn't the least idea. Look up the word in the standard dictionaries; the search will not be rewarded. Quite otherwise is the origin of the word humble ple. It comes from the eating by servants long years ago of ple made from the umbles, or entrails, of the deer. There is considerable entertainment and not a little knowledge to be gained by looking up the origin of words. Why not add it to the list of popular indoor sports?—New York Herald. Long in Public Life. "Uncle Joe" Cannon's announced intention to retire from service in congress at the expiration of his present term, completing forty-six years in the house, has called attention to the length of service of other house members. Burton of Cleveland and Longworth of Cinchnati are the veterans of the Ohio delegation, each now serving his ninth term. The Clevelander, however, in addition, has served one term of six years in the senate. Fess, of Yellow Springs, is serving his fifth term; Cooper of Youngstown, and Kearns of Bavaria, their fourth; and Cole of Findlay, Foster of Athens, Moore of Cambridge, Murphy of Steubenville, Stephens, of Cinchnati, and Thompson of Defiance, their second. The others are all first-termers. Tone Producer for Violin. It is said that a modern violin, of any ordinary make, can be converted into the equivalent of a Stradivarius, or other violin of Italy's golden days of string-instrument making, by the attachment to it of a newly invented tone producer. The device, according to an illustrated article in the March Popular Mechanics Magazine, is applicable to any kind of string instrument, is made of specially prepared wood, and is so constructed that it conforms to the shape of the instrument to which it is attached.
