LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY AFRICAN FIGURE MOST BEAUTIFUL IN WORLD So Says Dr. Walter Hough, Curator of Government's Smithsonian Institute in Washington VOL. XXVIII. AFRICAN FIGURE M WO So Says Dr. Walter Ho ment's Smithsonian In Washington, D. C., March 20.—"The African figure is the most beautiful in the world," declared Dr. Walter Hough, white, curator of the government's Smithsonian Institute, which has just put on exhibition seventeen African figures. The sculptures are the gift of the late Herbert Ward, white, who spent five years in the "Congo" with Stanley, "the Great Explorer," 1884-1889. They were presented by the widow of the dead sculptor recently and accepted on behalf of the nation by Vice President Calvin Coolidge. Some of the seventeen figures have won first prizes in exhibitions abroad and London and Paris are both envious because the collection has finally become the possession of America. The works include: "A Bakongo Girl," a "Mask of a Negro Girl" and "Mask of a Negro Man," work of 1901; "The Charm Doctor," a fantastic figure representing a sorcerer or charm doctor performing an incantation; "Sleeping Africa," the recumbent figure of a woman in an outline of Africa typifying the Dark Continent, two productions of 1902; "The Fugitive," a mother, babe and small child fleeing from slave hunters; "A Congo Bay," a head used as a study for one of the other compositions; "The Fugitives," made in 1903; "The Forest Lovers," 1904, representing African natives of the Bantu stock, which furnished most of the slaves brought to America. Others are "The Wood Carrier," a Senegal girl in half life size, of 1905; "The Idol Maker," a heroic bronze representing a native carving a wooden fetish image, and a very beautiful "Crouching Woman," both of 1906, with a "Fragment," a small bronze; "The Chief of the Tribe," in which heroic bronze Mr. Ward symbolized the weight of primitive government, 1908; "Defiance," 1909; "A Congo Artist," 1910, typifying the rude beginning of art; "The Fire Maker," 1911, a man making fire by the primitive wood friction method; "Distress," 1912, a heroic figure produced at the height of the sculptor's creative power and his last work. Sarah Rector Guards Her Own Treasure Kansas City Judge Refuses White Man Writ to Manage Her Oil Estates Estates Practice of young white men growing rich by managing the oil estates of wealthy colored women was given a blow in the Probate Court Tuesday. Judge Guinott refused to grant an application for the appointment of a guardian for Miss Sarah Rector, aged 20, who owns a million-dollar fortune in Oklahoma oil lands. Two applications were filed, one by John Collins, colored, an uncle of Miss Rector, asking that Monte Sampson, white, be appointed a guardian, and another by G. C. Parker, white, ask- ing that he be appointed guardian of the estate. The applications charged that because of her age, Miss Rector was incompetent to handle the large income from her fortune. Judge Guinott ruled that Miss Rector was of legal age and capable of administering her own estate. The Rector estate, the value of which is estimated at $1,500,000, consists of. $500,000 in oil lands in Oklahoma and $1,000,000 in Kansas. Miss Rector is a pupil in the Kansas City High school. N. A. A. C. P. Makes Dyer Bill Issue in New Jersey Elections The following letter has been sent by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to prominent white editors in New Jersey, informing them that colored voters will hold all opponents of the Dyer bill responsible for their position in the congressional elections of November of this year: Sir: Whatever other issues may arise in the congressional elections of November, 1922, colored Americans will hold the sustaining of law against the mob, through enactment of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, H. R. 13, is one of the most vital issues before American voters. Accordingly, colored voters in New Jersey will bear in mind that Representative R. Wayne Parker of the Ninth Congressional District, was among the minority in the House of Representatives which sought to prevent passage of the bill. As you know the bill was passed on Jan. 26, 1922, by a vote of 230 to 119, and is now before the Senate. The Dyer Anti-Lynching bill gives to colored voters one of the clearest and sharpest means of determining who are their political friends and foes. These men who voted against the bill in the House and those senators who oppose it, must expect to face the natural consequences of the position they take. Colored people are not disposed to listen to their arguments that the bill is unconstitutional when such eminent jurists as Attorney General Daugherty, Judge Guy D Goff of the department of justice and Representative, former Senator, Burton of Ohio, among others have held the bill to be constitutional. The final decision in the circumstances must rest with the Supreme Court; and the men who voted against the Dyer Bill merely showed their unwillingness to give the Supreme Court the opportunity to make that decision. JAMES WELDON JOHNSON, Secretary National Association for Advancement of Colored People. HONORS TO NEGRO OFFICER The Late Colonel Charles Young Surmounted Great Obstacles. Resourcefulness and Tact Enabled Him to Attain Highest Rank in the U. S. Army Ever Held by One of His Race. There is nothing bad in anybody's being a Negro, provided the proper effort is made to advance one's self. The world recognizes merit, regardless of its source. It is this fortunate condition that is the Negro's salvation; there is no refuge for him or any other persons in the excuse that lack of accomplishment is due to what somebody else thinks or does.—From a recent editorial in the Star. Memorial services were held all over the United States the other day for Col. Charles Young, United States army, retired, the only Negro who ever reached that rank in the regular army. Colonel Young died recently in Lagos, West Africa. Resourcefulness and tact were two of the attributes which enabled Young to win his way through West Point over obstacles apparently insurmountable. Two other Negroes had gone through West Point, but he alone possessed the tact and fortitude to "stick out" in a trying position. Tactful in Trying Position. When Young was assigned to Fort Riley as a lieutenant after leaving West Point he was given his real test. There is an old custom in the army that when a new officer arrives at a garrison it is his social duty to call at the homes of all married officers. So when the announcement was made at Fort Riley that the only Negro officer in the army had been assigned to the post for duty with the Ninth cavalry, a Negro regiment, there was somewhat of a flurry. But Young handled the social problem with a degree of tact which from the very start of his army career brought him recognition. Instead of making personal calls, the young lieutenant sent an orderly to the homes of the officers, leaving his card: Lieut, Charles Young, Ninth Cavalry, U. S. A. And thus was the new officer duly introduced to the garrison. Honored for His Work. Young was born in Kentucky in 1868 and educated in the public schools of Ohio. He was appointed to West Point in 1885. Two other Negroes had gone through West Point before. The first was appointed soon after the Civil war. He found the other cadets bitterly hostile toward him. He managed to graduate, but he had had enough and gave up the army as a career. The second retired after a few years. Young was graduated in 1889, well up in his class. In 1916 he was made a lieutenant colonel and retired as a colonel, June 22, 1917. During the war he was on active duty in command of Negro troops at Camp Grant, Illinois. As a major Young was sent to Liberia to reorganize the constabulary of the Negro republic. In recognition of this service he was given, in 1915, the J. E. Springarm medal which is awarded annually to the person of African descent and American citizenship who has accomplished the greatest achievement in any field of human endeavor. The 1915 award was at the disposal of a committee composed of ex-President Taft, Oswald G. Villard and Dr. James H. Dillard of Virginia. Secretary of War Garrison also commended Young for his Liberian work. N. A. A. C. P. Prevents Ku Klux Parade in National Capital The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People have been instrumental in preventing a parade of the Ku Klux Klan in Washington, it was announced today at N. A. A. C. P. headquarters, 70 Fifth avenue, New York. A report that such a parade was planned came to the District of Columbia Branch, N. A. A. C. P., and Shelby J. Davidson, executive secretary of the Branch at once called on Daniel Sullivan, major of Washington police, to inform him of it. An investigation was immediately begun and police assurances were given that no such parade would be held. As a result of the investigation a new police regulation was issued by the District Commissioners in the national capital, prohibiting parades in disguise. The regulation is as follows: "Ordered that 'Processtons and parades, except funerals, shall not be allowed except by permit of the major and superintendent of police, which permit shall designate the time and route of such procession or parade, and no part of such procession or parade shall move except according to the terms of such permit; provided, however, that no permit shall be issued for any procession or parade of any group, body or organization, the members of which are so costumed, dressed, masked or disguised as to be unrecognizable; provided, that this provision shall not apply to persons costumed as clowns taking part in authorized circus parades." Garvey Threatens British Premier New York City, March 23.—Marcus Garvey authorized the following cablegram this week: "David Lloyd George, British Premier, 10 Downing St., London. "Four hundred million Negroes, through the Universal Negro Improvement Association, hereby register their protest against the brutal manner in which your government has treated the natives of Kenya, East Africa. "You have shot down a defenseless people in their own native land for exercising their rights as men. Such a policy will only tend to aggravate the many historic injustices heaped upon a race that will one day be placed in a position to truly defend itself, not with mere sticks, clubs and stones, but with modern implements of science. Again we ask you and your government to be just to our race, for surely we shall not forget you. "The evolutionary scale that weighs nations and races balances alike for all peoples; hence we feel sure that some day the balance will register a change. "MARCUS GARVEY." HOWARD MEDICAL IS POPULAR Washington, March 24.—Thirty-seven young women are enrolled in the Howard Medical School studying medicine, dentistry and pharmacy.

MAKES INDUSTRIAL SURVEY IN BALTIMORE-NAT'L URBAN LEAGUE EXTENDS WORK TO NEW FIELDS Charles S. Johnson, director of the Department of Research and Investigations of the National Urban League with his staff is now in Baltimore making an industrial survey of the Negroes there in co-operation with the Inter-racial Committee of Baltimore. Associated with Mr. Johnson are Dr. B. M. Rhetta and Prof. Broadus Mitchell of the Johns-Hopkins University. This survey, which is to record wages and conditions of labor, the progress and advancement on the job by industrial workers and the social conditions of their families, will be completed in from four to six weeks and the findings will be submitted as a basis for a practical program of improvement to be furthered by a group of interested Baltimore citizens. Mr. Johnson recently made a survey of the Negroes of Hartford and Flushing, L. I., and was associate executive secretary of the Chicago Race Relations Commissions which studied the causes of racial misunderstanding at the request of Governor Lowden of Illinois following the Chicago race riots. George W. Buckner, executive secretary of the St. Louis Urban League, has gone to Tulsa for the third time to continue his activities there towards working out a program of improvement to be participated in by progressive white and colored leaders of that community. Jesse O. Thomas, southern field secretary of the league, has submitted a program to the Committee on Church Co-operation and is planning to proceed to Tampa, Fla., at the request of local citizens to inaugurate an Urban League program in that city. J. R. E. Lee, extension secretary of the league, has been in Richmond, Va., during the past two weeks in an effort to enlist larger financial support from the colored citizens of that community in the work of the league. Mr. Lee has met with admirable success, having secured $552 from the colored people of Richmond. T. Arnold Hill, western field secretary, has recently made trips to St. Paul, Minneapolis and Indianapolis in interest of the formation of local leagues. The national organization reports $30,678.79 in cash and pledges received to date towards its budget of $59,770 for the year 1922. Four Colored Men Are Acquitted of Charge of Murder Four Colored Men Are Acquitted of Charge of Murder Dyersburg, Tenn., March 15.—The murdered or murderers of Robert Burkett, well known white farmer of this county last December, go unpunished and at large. The four young Negro men, Edward and Ernest Scott, Will Wiggins and Ruck McCutheon, who narrowly escaped lynching shortly after the killing, when they were arrested charged with the murder, were allowed to go free following a trial by jury which lasted eight days here. Public sentiment, and even Mrs. Burkett, widow of the murdered man, favored freeing the accused Negroes. Two of the accused men admitted on the witness stand that they told the mob that they had killed the form- NO 24 er, but stated that they made the confession under threats of death from the mob members. But for the timely arrival of troops to the Dyersburg jail by Governor Taylor, shortly after the killing, the entire number of Negro prisoners would have been lynched.

Paris Stage Feature Nude Male Actors Paris, France, March 1.—A stormy discussion is raging here over the determination of theatrical producers to subscribe to Michael Angelo's famous theory that the undraped figure of man is infinitely more beautiful than that of a woman. As a result practically every theater is specializing in a "Parade of Apollos," "Statuesque Adonises" and similar scenes glorifying the masculine body. The new "Follies of Follies" at the Folies Bergere presents six unclothed men, including one colored, while Jean Borlin, relative of the King of Sweden, this week innovated the dance of the "Inner Thoughts of Man." He appeared almost entirely nude at the Swedish ballot performance.

Having made the irritable person very peevish, explain to him how the square is made by placing the coins so that the lines about the date on each penny join.

HAZARD OF FIRE EXTREME Report on the Subject Has Been Made to Congress—Plans for Enlarging National Botanic Garden—American Legion Wants Own Building. BY EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—Hazards and perils of fire existing in the "tinder box" buildings where invaluable records of the government, in many cases non-replaceable, are stored, were pointed out with other salient features in a report on the archives buildings from Lieut. Col. C. O. Sherrill, superintendent of public buildings and grounds, to Senator Reed Smoot, chairman of the public buildings commission. The report summarizes the steps taken thus far to assure the government of a storage place for its records. It also takes into consideration the arguments of opponents of the archives building plan for placement of the building on land already owned by the United States government, rather than in the square bounded by Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, B and C streets, as is planned in reports to this time. The emphatic part of the report, however, is that of the fire hazard existing. For instance, it shows that the files of the income tax unit, including more than 15,000,000 confidential returns of income, with 30,000,000 related letters, and hundreds of thousands of valuable maps and special reports, are packed and jammed into annex No. 1. Then there are several hundred thousand returns and related papers in courses of audit which are being temporarily kept in the second annex of the unit, which is characterized as a fragile wooden building erected during the war, in which the risk of fire is constantly imminent. In the possibility of a fire there, the report continues, irreplaceable papers, representing hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue, would be quickly destroyed and the work of the government would be irreparably interrupted. Priceless Records in Danger. The report does not overlook the fact that a serious fire in any of the typically hazardous buildings in which the records of the United States government are stored in Washington would easily be able to cause a loss running into hundreds of millions of dollars, whereas the cost of purchase of a site and the erection of the building would be such a few million dollars as to make the latter figure look like a pea beside a pumpkin, in relative comparison. It is not only in the income tax unit that the hazard to records exists, according to the report. There are buildings in which the records of other activities of the government are stored where the risk assumes a similar proportion. The general accounting office, under the controller general, is one of these. The first definite step was taken toward enlargement of the National Botanic garden at its present location, looking forward to making it one of the greatest botanic gardens in the world, when Lieut. Col Clarence O. Sherrill, officer in charge of public buildings and grounds and executive officer of the Fine Arts commission, assured a joint conference of senators and house members who would handle the necessary legislation, that he is ready to turn over to the Botanic garden the requisite land already owned by the government. It was agreed that land south of the present site of the Botanic garden, which lies on Pennsylvania avenue between First and Third streets, and following the line of the old James creek canal bed from Third street to the capital power plant, and thence south to the Potomac river, joining the grounds of the War college on the south and Buzzards point on the east, should be turned over to the jurisdiction of George W. Hess, director of the Botanic garden, for development. This plan for extension of the garden, which has long been advocated by Director Hess, who is ambitious to develop it into the greatest botanic garden in the world, and who has received promises of co-operation from many foreign countries, has been approved by Charles Moore, chairman of the fine arts commission, and Lieutenant Colonel Sherrill, the secretary and executive officer. It also works in with the plan recently submitted to congress by Elliott Woods, architect of the capitol and a member of a special commission on enlarging the capitol grounds, who recommends a comprehensive development of the area surrounding the capitol, and especially the formation of a parkway development from Union station to the capitol and thence south of the capitol to the river. Under Architect Woods' plan, the main portion of the Botanic garden would be artistically placed between the Washington navy yard and the Army War college. The joint conference of senate and house members spent more than three hours going over the entire area which it is proposed to turn into a greater Botanic garden, more than ten times the present size. These members of congress were particu- larly impressed with the great opportunity afforded for beautification of a section of the city which has been notably neglected and which will thus be made an important link in the scheme of parkway development To Preserve Historic Document. The old marriage register of Frederick county, Virginia, beginning with the year 1782, has been ordered recoped by the Circuit court, after which the original will be securely stored and never allowed to be used in the future. The court took this action to prevent the valuable record from being mutilated; it already is torn in places and some pages have their edges clipped off. The old register contains the records of some notable marriages. Among these are the marriage licenses of President James Madison and the vivacious and petite young widow, Dolly Payne Todd, whose wedding was solemnized at a colonial estate near Winchester; of Gen. Daniel Morgan, often alluded to by historians as the "Stonewall Jackson of the Revolution," and of numerous nieces and nephews of George Washington, and of the Lees, Carters, Burwells, Nelson, Pages and a whole nest of young lovers representing the bluest of the bluebloods of the Old Dominion, who in the early days of the country gave luster to the fair name of the commonwealth and who achieved distinction in the annals of their country. There is agitation by American Legion officials for obtaining a home and headquarters for the American Legion posts in this city. Department officers of the District of Columbia, headed by Watson B. Miller, commander, are united in their efforts for this project and are backed by the officers and members of the 28 posts of the city. It is believed at the Legion's headquarters, now held in a small room on the fourth floor of 1423 New York avenue, that such a building, whether erected as a war memorial to those who made the supreme sacrifice, a victory memorial perpetuating the triumph of American arms on foreign soil or a clubhouse where Legion trophies could be kept and meetings held, is a necessity in Washington. At present the Legion in this city numbers about 5,000 men, which is a rapid growth from the small number that applied for a charter more than three years ago while they were still in France. The Legion in this city has grown, its posts are flourishing, out the membership would be greatly increased if a home was procured. The district had some 19,000 sons and daughters in the service, including the yeoman Fs and the marinettes, and if a real clubhouse could be had, the membership of the Legion undoubtedly would be greatly increased. The posts now meet in widely scattered places. Two or three meet in the District building, several at the present headquarters on New York avenue, some in the New Ebbitt hotel, some at the various local clubs, some at the armory, and others in halls and clubs all over the city. Most places are inadequate. When a dance or entertainment is to be held, permission has to be obtained from some organization or firm for use of a hall and a large fee paid. Suffer by Comparison. Those in charge at the present headquarters make the best of it, but feel humiliated when strangers finally struggle up the rickety, worn steps that lead to the fourth floor and comment on the surroundings. Among the first things a visiting Legionnaire does is to make a comparison between the Washington offices and the offices of his home town. There isn't really any comparison; it is just a pointing out of differences. The visitor asks, "Why is it this way?" to which the man in charge can only answer, "I'll bite; why is it?" The reason is hard to explain. Other cities by various means have erected splendid buildings for the Legion. Small cities and towns have not been remiss. Funds have been obtained in many ways. Some buildings have been erected through public contributions, others are gifts from rich merchants and other residents, and still others are the result of appropriations. In Washington there have been so many of these conations and gifts to every cause that the people look askance at the proposal of another. Building Urgently Needed. Col. E. Lester Jones of the geodetic and coast survey, former department commander of the district, and called the "father" of the American Legion, is heartily in favor of erection of a building here. "There is practically not an available hall that can be secured whenever needed, suitable for holding the veterans' meetings," he said. "Nothing will tend to increase the interest of the veterans and citizens quicker than to have an adequate meeting place. The building should have one floor of offices, another for a large auditorium, and a third with small rooms, in which the posts could meet and call their own. Trophies and Legion records and all the business of the headquarters could be transferred there." Colonel Jones also emphasized the fact that it would be a business investment for the merchants of the city. He stated that if such a project became a reality many of the Legion's conventions would be held in this city, and in all probability the national headquarters would be moved here. Howard S. Flsk, past commander of George Washington post, the pioneer post of the Legion and the largest in the city, said there was nothing more needed in Washington, and that if such a plan were carried out the Legion building would be a thing of civile pride.

Some we now forward-looking piece of legislation, passed the House of Fires happy climax to long time who have sponsored the mute speedily pass the Senate to care. But that was some week become of the Dyer bill? Will death? Will the lethal gas on the resurrected t Gilabriel bring true to its promises and Senate? These are questions voters and they are going to a full power in both the lefthand and can make a law of the Democratic South. We have to assume responsibility for the large majority given this lie, that a degree of political law makers at last. But with the thought that a suit up the boys in line" and then party went on record in action and in President Harding laws against the monster men a short memories these days as politicians these days. Can be no soothing palliative to the mass of Negro citizen selections, and a determined, honesty, will make this pronounce the blased objections of the congressman or senator will beations against a law designate men and senators of the North. A solemn promise that was can party into power by suing the House and let it die in the not have even a moral effect. Nothing but the stern mass vigor, will bring them to action. Let the Senate judge. Bring the bill out in the will be the same old hacken in such an hour then the Rep. if imbued with a conscientious will proceed to use the stricter bill through the Senate as every long stretch to the November can still catch step and if they the courage to do so use of Representatives some moment of conscience and an in NOW. IT IS SAID, and with a great deal of truth, that one-half of a congressman's or senator's official term at Washington is spent in seeking a means for re-election. That is to say, he becomes more of an opportunist than a statesman as election day draws near. Some weeks ago the Dyer anti-lynching bill, the most forward-looking piece of legislation that has been before Congress in many years, passed the House of Representatives by a tremendous majority. This happy climax to long years of struggle and labor gave high hopes to those who have sponsored the measure, and it was freely predicted, that it would speedily pass the Senate and be put up to the President for his signature. But that was some weeks ago. Now the query is prevalent, what has become of the Dyer bill? Will it be permitted to sleep itself unto a painless death? Will the lethal gas of subservient politics be applied that it may not be resurrected til Gabriel blows his trumpet, or will the Republican party ring true to its promises and expressed obligation by putting it through the Senate? These are questions that naturally arise in the minds of all Negro voters and they are going to demand an answer. The Republican party holds full power in both the legislative and executive branches of our government and can make a law of the Dyer bill despite the rancorous opposition of the Democratic South. It must and will have to assume responsibility for either the fate or fortunes of the bill. The large majority given this bill in the House caused us to hope, if not to believe, that a degree of political sincerity had mastered the hearts of our national law makers at last. But let no man or aspiring candidate delude himself with the thought that a sufficient sop has already been thrown out to "keep the boys in line" and capture the Negro vote again this fall. The Republican party went on record in the platform adopted at the last national convention and in President Harding's first message to Congress as favoring federal laws against the monster evil of lynching. We are not visibly affected with short memories these days and in consequence will not be so easily taken in as politicians imagine. The Dyer bill MUST BE COME A LAW. There can be no soothing palliative or alternative. A definite promise was made to the mass of Negro citizens whose votes have an important bearing on elections, and a determined, fearless leadership with just ordinary political honesty, will make this promise an actuality. Why then this deference to the biased objections of the lynch-loving Democratic South? Not a single congressman or senator will be gained in the South by adherence to its vituperations against a law designed to sustain law, while many present congressmen and senators of the North may find it "moving day" by failure to heed a solemn promise that was at least a partial means of sweeping the Republican party into power by such a large majority. To pass the bill in the House and let it die in the Senate means nothing whatever to us. It will not have even a moral effect on the lynching-bent heathens of the Southland. Nothing but the stern majesty of the law, and this applied with fearless vigor, will bring them to their senses. Therefore we call for immediate action. Let the Senate judiciary committee be called upon for an accounting. Bring the bill out in the open and let the rabid South have its say. It will be the same old hackneyed argument, they will advance nothing new. In such an hour then the Republican party, if swayed by honor and justice, if imbued with a conscientious appreciation of the solemnity of a promise, will proceed to use the strength it temporarily possesses and pass the Dyer bill through the Senate as readily as it did through the House. It is not a very long stretch to the November elections, but some of our wobbling statesmen can still catch step and be a part of the procession if they will. Have they the courage to do so or will the bit of stage play enacted in the House of Representatives some weeks ago be considered all sufficient as an easement of conscience and an inducement to further support? Let them answer NOW. FACING THE JUDGMENT. he, who because of a superabundance to detect providential complements of the white race followed on members of the Negro Tulsa, Oklahoma, keeps on a criot was staged there with no extent that appalled the tribe followed by a most destructive THOSE of our people, who because of a superabundance of religious zeal and fervor are able to detect providential compensation in any disaster that overtakes members of the white race following some murderous or dastardly deed performed on members of the Negro race, will have to readjust their judgments if Tulsa, Oklahoma, keeps on at its present rate. Less than a year ago a race riot was staged there with a fierceness that carried death and destruction to an extent that appalled the whole of the civilized world. This was closely followed by a most destructive, death dealing flood in many parts of the country that came at a convenient season for those who look toward Divine wrath as the only means of checking devilry. But evidently the Oklahoma white man is not swayed by such evidences of heavenly discontent, and again he breaks out in Tulsa, not so sweeping 'tis true, but enough so as to reveal the blackened heart and cankered soul. Only recently a Negro by the name of Smitherman was taken from his room to the edge of town and whipped most unmercifully, and when beaten into almost total exhaustion one of his ears was cut off and he was compelled to unmake an effort at eating it, even in his weakened condition. Smitherman was charged with editing a Democratic newspaper and of influencing many Tulsa Negroes to vote the Democratic ticket. This offense was considered so grave that the Ku Klux Klan administered the punishment mentioned as its one way of upholding the "law and the constitution"(? It is not stated whether Smitherman was beaten and maltreated by Republicans as a warning to Negroes that they must not, at this crucial hour break away from their old political ties, or whether it was administered by Democrats as a protest against the efforts of Negro leaders to make Bourbon Democracy anything else than a "white man's party." By whom and for whatever purpose this ghastly deed was perpetrated, it plainly shows that there has been some mistake about the "best white people" of Tulsa being regretful over the awful toll of human life exacted in the riots of last year. Perhaps it was just another effort on the part of the white South to teach the Negro that he must "keep his place" and in the light of all the circumstances surrounding it, we are again forced to ask WHERE IS HIS PLACE? Manifestly the most chimerical and meaningless utterance that ever emanated from a false tongue and vicious heart is the oft-repeated mandate of the southerner that the Negro shall "keep his place." But if the reasoning of our ultra-religionists is to be faithfully carried out then we may expect Providence to soon take a hand and kill off a few here and there by flood or tornado or plague. There is some difficulty experienced however in getting adequate compensation by this method. With the exception of one or two rural spots in Georgia, Tulsa is the hell-hole of America. Sodom and Gomorrah of old were as Chautauqua centers compared to it. We ask then, where is the God whose wrath was visited upon these two wicked cities? Is he still on the job? This is essentially an age of speed. Humanity is in a hurry and our faith in providential compensation will be bolstered up ten-fold if Tulsa and its kindred plague spots are brought to their knees by visible evidences of God's displeasure at an early date. But we must not sit idly by and wait to do the work that is clearly ours. The organized fight against mob violence and against the Ku Klux Klan must go on, without fear and without trembling. By this method we have gained some ground in the past few years, but a mountain of obstacles still confront us. The one hopeful sign of the times is that the Klan of late has turned its industry into beating and mobbing white folks. Already many southern cities are organizing counter bands to meet the Klan at their own game. Let the good work go on for then it will be a case of Greek meeting Greek. It is not plain just how lawlessness can be wiped out by counter lawlessness but the experiment if carried out long enough may not be without its compensation so far as the Negro is concerned. THE DENVER DRY GOODS CO. The FREE Sewing Machine BEAUTIFUL CLOSED WHEN CONVENIENT WHEN OPEN A man who has been chief of the invention department of one of the largest sewing machine manufacturing concerns in the world for the past forty years said some time ago that the most valuable improvements made in sewing machines in those forty years were: Making the vibrating machine rotary and taking the cams out of the head of the machine—both FREE inventions. The Rotoscillo Movement makes "The Free" run so light that you can rest while you sew; toggle-link movement removing all noise and friction; ball-bearing treadle running like magic. Do not buy any other machine until you have seen the FREE. When you know the FREE as we do you would not think of buying any other.

(Seal) JACKSON COCHRANE, Commissioner of Insurance Start of Smoking Smoking was practiced by the most primitive peoples. Tobacco, opium, and hemp were the herbs most used. The invention of the pipe, while obscure as to time, comes from the frequent use of herbs burnt in containers as a sacrifice or for healing purposes. The person to be cured inhaled the smoke. A portable container with a tube for the smoke was a logical development of this practice. Keep off the date April 27. The MADAME JESSIE CARTER, PROMIENT BUSINESS WOMAN, CHURCH WORKER AND SOCIAL LEADER, PASSES AWAY. Mrs. P. W. Walker of 1623 Gilpin still continues quite sick. Mrs. Sam Fleming returned to Denver last week after a three months' visit with her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Mason, in New York. Though she had been known to be seriously ill for many weeks during which her life was despaired of on several different occasions, Denver citizens were nevertheless inexpressibly shocked Tuesday morning to learn that Mrs. Jessie Carter, one of our most W. R. Herndon, a clerk in the post-office department, will leave Sunday for a six weeks' vacation in California. Mrs. Eliza Dishman, who has been taking rest cure for some weeks, is now reported as getting along nicely and will soon be at home to her friends. Mrs. Grace Myers of 2522 Humboldt street has been confined to her bed for a week with neuralgia, but bids fair to be out soon. Mrs. Jerry Stone of 2422 Lafayette street left the city Tuesday for Lake City, Colo., to visit her sister, Mrs. Richard Price. She was accompanied by her little nephew, David Johnson. Attorney S. E.

Gross was taken suddenly ill Tuesday morning with a severe attack of acute indigestion. She is much improved at this time however, under the skillful attention of Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook. Mrs. W. H. Hubbell of Kansas City, Mo., and one of the most prominent women of that city, was the house guest of Dr. and Mrs. J. H. P. Westbrook during the most of this week Mrs. Hubbell has been on an extended visit to California and stopped in Denver en route home. HIGHLY IMPRESSIVE CONFIRMATION SERVICES AT CHURCH OF HOLY REDEEMER. As a fitting celebration to its twenty-nine years of useful service to Denver, the Church of the Holy Redeemer was the scene of the most beautiful and impressive confirmation services ever witnessed in the city. There were twenty-five in the class, almost equally divided as to sex. The ladies were simply radiant in their immaculate white gowns and long flowing veils, while the men were gowned in conventional black. Bishop Frederick W. Ingley conferred the solemn rites of confirmation and was assisted by Fr. Rahming, rector of the Redeemer, and by Fr. Haldeman, rector of St. Andrew's. Following the confirmation Bishop Ingley preached a powerful sermon, during which he stated it was the largest class that it had been his honor to confirm since he had ascended to the bishopric. The Redeemer choir was at its best and lent much inspiration to the occasion by rendition of high class anthems and hymns. The church was crowded to the doors, every inch of available space being taken and many crowded around the open windows in an effort to witness this remarkable service. Beginning at 4:45 a series of rare musical selections were rendered by Prof. V. Sprattlin at the piano, and _____ violin soloist. Previous to the opening of the confirmation service photos were taken of the candidates, forming a most striking background to Bishop Ingley, Fr. Haldeman, Fr. Rahming and the faithful Mr. J. W. Hudston, whose years of sacrifice and devotion to the church found an ample reward in this great service. Fr. Rahming is to be commended for the splendid record he has made since coming to Denver, for the Church of the Holy Redeemer has arisen to a recognized power in the Christian uplift and life of the city. The Takas will celebrate "The Reunion of the States" at Shorter Chapel, May 11. Keep off the date. MADAME JESSIE CARTER, PROMI- NENT BUSINESS WOMAN, CHURCH WORKER AND SOCIAL LEADER, PASSES AWAY. Though she had been known to be seriously ill for many weeks during which her life was despaired of on several different occasions, Denver citizens were nevertheless inexpressibly shocked Tuesday morning to learn that Mrs. Jessie Carter, one of our most popular and progressive women, had been taken by the hand of death. The end came peaceably as a merciful relief to her many days of suffering. Mrs. Carter was a Denver girl, having been born near Twelfth and Welton streets, Feb. 9, 1883. She was reared and educated in Oakland, Calif., having been taken there by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Halley when but an infant. Some years ago she returned to Denver and soon after was married to Eugene Carter, and the union proved to be an exceptionally happy and prosperous one, the Carter home being one of the most magnificent owned by our group in Denver, and was the scene of many rare social functions. Mrs. Carter was a woman of keen business judgment, a faithful worker in Shorter Church and gave much of her time to deeds of charity. Her death is a distinct loss to all Denver. The funeral services were conducted from the home Thursday morning at 9:45, it being strictly private. Rev. W. H. Thomas officiated. She leaves a sorrowing husband, a sister, Mrs. Lawrence Butts, and an aged mother, Mrs. Halley. NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH. Twenty-second and Arapahoe Streets. Rev. T. Henderson preached a wonderful sermon last Sunday morning and evening. Our hearts rejoiced as he preached. We haven't words to express to show our appreciation to Rev. Henderson for the interest he has taken in us. He did much in the upbuilding of our church, both spiritually and numerically. Outside the regular salary we were paying him, we surprised him by giving him the entire evening's offering, $21.20. He gave us some encouraging remarks and bid us God speed. Dr. F. M.

PYTHIANS FORTY-SECOND ANNIVERSARY The Forty-second Annual Thanksgiving ceremony of the Knights of Pythias, held at Shorter Church last Sunday, proved to be one of the most successful known to the history of that valiant order in Denver. Every lodge and auxiliary of Pythianism in the city took a commanding part in the services. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS F.C.A. Forming at the Castle hall at 2630 Welton street promptly at 1 o'clock a parade consisting of Damon Lodge No. 5, Pythias' Lodge No. 11, Syracuse Lodge No. 10, with Aetna Co. No. 1, C. S. Muse Co. No. 5 of the Uniform Rank, and the Hermions drill team, Rocky Mountain Court No. 3, Columbine Court No. 279 and Progress Court No. 6, marched with stately tread to Shorter Church, preceded by Major Lee's Military Band. And not only was the parade a feature that startled all Denver but the military band of young musicians under the able tutelage of Major Lee far exceeded all expectations. Their appearance was indeed a triumph. At the church the program started promptly at 2 o'clock and a record for brevity and completeness was established that could be emulated with profit by other fraternal orders whose annual service will now follow in quick succession. Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, Past Grand Chancellor, was the master of ceremonies, and this simple announcement leaves nothing more to be said. The following program was rendered: K. of P. Ode, "God Bless Our Knightly Band," by the order. Anthony by Sherrie Chichester Anthem, by Shorter Choir. Prayer, Sir Knight Thas. Campbell. Proclamation, Sister Etta Blackwell, Supreme Deputy. Address, Major Wm. H. Lee, Uniform Rank. Paper, Sister Lizzie Williams, Columbine No. 279. Vocal Solo, Sister Mattie Brown, Rocky Mountain Court No. 3. Orator of the Day, Sir Knight S. E. Cary, LL. D. Selection, by the Battalion Band. Annual Sermon, Rev. W. H. Thomas, pastor of Shorter A. M. E. Church. Thanksgiving offering Special mention, though, must be made of the inspiring oration of Sir Knight S. E. Cary, whose return from Oklahoma a few hours before the services were opened, enabled him to recite some reminiscences that thrilled his hearers. The solo by Sister Mattie Brown and the selections by the Military Band were also ably rendered. Rev. W. H. Thomas delivered the annual sermon, and though practically arising from a sick bed to be on hand, he drew a graphic picture of "Life's other side" that completely overwhelmed the large congregation. Rev. Thomas was at his best and all Denver knows what that means. A large sum of money was placed upon the tables as a Thanksgiving offering. Sir Knight Wm. Stewart acted as marshal of the day. SHORTER CHAPEL NOTES. The minister will preach at 11 a.m. subject, "The Unchanging Christ," followed by infant baptism and communion. At the evening service the subject will be "The Haunted Heart." The choir will furnish music for each of these services. DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOOL CIATION TO HOLD BIG MEETING. HON. ROBLIN H.

Atlanta, Ga., March 24.—Junior Order American Mechanics, white, has protested the use of "Human Interests Library" books in the public schools. The reason assigned is that the books assert that Robert E. Lee ran away from General Grant, and Abraham Lincoln is quoted as saying that he considered the Negro his equal.

TEN WAYS TO KILL AN ASSOCIATION. 1. Don't come to the meetings. 2. But if you do come, come late. 3. If the weather doesn't suit you, don't think of coming. 4. If you don't attend a meeting, find fault with the work of the officers and other members. 5. Never accept an office, as it is easier to criticize than to do things. 6. Nevertheless, get sore if you are not appointed on a committee, but if you are, do not attend the committee meetings. 7. If asked by the chairman to give your opinion regarding some important matter, tell him you have nothing to say. After the meeting tell everyone how things ought to be done. 8. Do nothing more than is absolutely necessary, but when other members roll up their sleeves and willingly, unselfishly use their ability to help matters along, howl that the association is run by a clique. 9. Hold back you dues as long as possible, or don't pay at all. 10. Don't bother about getting new members, "Let George do it!" CHEYENNE NEWS.

Hardings to Visit Alaska HE President and Mrs. Harding have planned a vacation trip to Alaska this summer. According to tentative plans made long in advance they will leave Washington in June and will not return until about the middle of September. It's quite a journey, you know, from Washington to Alaska and back and there are reasons why the President wants a month or more to look around in the HE President and Mrs. Harding have planned a vacation trip to Alaska this summer. According to tentative plans made long in advance they will leave Washington in June and will not return until about the middle of September. It's quite a journey. you know, from Washington to Alaska and back and there are reasons why the President wants a month or more to look around in the Land of the Midnight Sun. According to the original plans, the presidential party will go by special train to the Pacific coast, probably alighting at San Francisco. Seattle will be a port of call. Thence the route will be through the Inner Passage and on to Alaska. Presumably Juneau, the territorial capital, will be visited. Access to the government railroad, now practically completed, can be had either at Seward, its southern terminus, or at Anchorage, on Cook Inlet. The road runs from Seward straight north to Fairbanks, about 400 miles. Mayflower, the presidential yacht, is likely to be sent through the Panama canal to be of service somewhere along the coast. A wonderful vacation trip, worth the while even of the President of the United States of America! And the President is known to be a lover of the beautiful and majestic in nature and a loyal friend of our national parks and of such scenic enterprises as the National Park-to-Park highway. Incidentally an effort is being made to get the President to visit on this trip one or more of the national parks and the proposed "President's Forest," on the North Rim of the Grand canyon. In Alaska—"The Frozen North" we used to call it—the President will have a chance to see various things that are far out of the ordinary. There isn't space here to catalogue them, but here are a few that any man would be glad to see: At Ketchikan a stream plunges through the center of the town. And in the stream is a salmon-run where millions of salmon are to be seen making incredible leaps to ascend the rapids. Juneau is the Alaskan capital. There the President can take an automobile and drive 11 miles right to the edge of Mendenhall glacier. It'll be summer weather. He can pick flowers by the way. He'll see vegetable gardens, strawberry beds and wheat fields surrounded by giant forests and overtopped by peaks white with everlasting snow. Of course the President will strike somewhere the Yukon—one of the great rivers of the world—and grandly scenic for the greater part of its 2,300 miles. The President is likely to run across a big herd of reindeer anywhere from Point Barrow to the Alaskan peninsula. There are now about 225,000 of these "Camels of the Frozen North." One of these days we are likely to be eating reindeer meat instead of beef; several thousand carcasses are to be shipped in from Nome this year. The seal rookeries on the Pribilof islands should be worth seeing; there were 552,718 of these curious animals according to the seal census of 1920, and they are increasing, although Uncle Sam takes more than 25,000 skins a year. It is to be hoped that the President visits the new Katmal National monument—"The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes." Katmal volcano on the Alaskan peninsula blew its head off during three days in June of 1912, covering all Alaska with a thick coating of dust. The explosion left a crater 8,500 feet deep and eight miles around, with a lake at the bottom. Close by is a valley several miles long, from which are shooting up thousands of steam jets, some of them a thousand feet high. It is a sample of earth in the making. Some day these steam jets may cool off enough to become geysers, like those of the Yellowstone. In the meantime, cooking is easy in Katmal. If the President travels on the government railroad to the gap in the steel he will have a glorious view of Mount McKinley, one of the great mountains of the world and the central feature of the 2,200 square miles of Mount McKinley National park. It rises 20,300 feet above sea level and is most impressive. It is a wonderful preserve of Alaskan wild game—carlou, blighorn moose, deer and bear—which live and breed there in immense numbers. At present this park is inaccessible, but the government railroad will touch the new east boundary line established by a recent act of congress. Then there will be a rush of tourists—very few of whom will reach Mount McKinley's glacier-covered summit. So Alaska has the makings of a mighty interesting vacation trip for the President and his party. But don't get the idea that the President's trip is wholly and solely a vacation pleasure trip. For the truth is that it is a combination of pleasure and business; if it breaks fifty-fifty, the pleasure angle is in luck. For Alaska is one of the administration's "problems." And the President is reported to think the Alaskan problem important enough to warrant first-hand information. THE TUNNEL Secretary Albert B. Fall of the Interior department, according to the tentative plans, is to accompany the President. Under the circumstances that is to be expected. The Alaskan problem is one of many ramifications. The basic fact around which the various phases of the problem revolve is put in a nutshell by the question, "What's the matter with Alaska?" "Too much government by too many bureaus too far away," is one of the many answers to the question. Though Alaska has a governor (Scott C. Bone) and a legislature and a territorial delegate to congress (Dan A. Sutherland), it is really governed by Washington bureaus and apparently almost every executive department has a hand in that government. You see, nearly all of Alaska's natural resources are directly or indirectly controlled by the federal government. About 90 per cent of the land is still in government ownership. Coal and oil development is under government leases. Water power and fisheries and timber are under federal control. And the activities of the many bureaus of the several departments dovetail, overlap and conflict in a bewildering tangle. Owing to the divided authority and the limitations of statutes and appropriations, there would be mixup, even were co-operation the watchword of all concerned. As the result Alaska has not been doing well. The population has fallen off. The commerce has decreased. The country is not being developed. The fisheries are not prospering. The postoffice department can hardly be said to function. Ocean transportation is inadequate and costly. With oil and coal of her own Alaska is importing both. Various plans have been proposed for Alaska's relief. A number of bills has been introduced in congress. One bill would put the administration into the hands of an Alaskan development board. Another would give the President authority to reorganize all federal activities. The Interior department has many activities in the governing of Alaska. It is Secretary Fall's idea that the way to develop Alaska is to vest absolute authority in the President and to concentrate in the Interior department all functions pertaining to the development and use of natural resources and to construction work. Of course this idea is not at all pleasing to many officials of bureaus in other departments. Then there is another proposition which complicates the political phases of the situation: The proposed reorganization of all the executive departments. This reorganization would regroup the various bureau activities and bring about a wholesale transfer of bureaus among the departments. One contemplated transfer under this reorganization is that of the forest service in charge of the national forest from the Agricultural department to the Interior department. The Agricultural department is fighting this proposed transfer. Its stake in Alaska is the Tongass and Chugach National forests, containing 20,000,000 acres. The latest authoritative facts as to the Alaskan situation are contained in the report of Secretary Fall of the Interior department for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921. He goes into detail and says generally, among other things: "The report of the governor for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1921, emphasizes, as the paramount need of Alaska, liberalized laws and more flexible rules and regulations thereunder, with a concentration of authority and responsibility and an administration co-ordinated and brought closer home. Capital and people are required to develop the resources of the territory and until it is made easier for these two necessary factors to obtain a foothold the territory will not progress. The difficulties of administration are great owing to distances and inadequate transportation and mail facilities. Under the present long-range system of government individual initiative has been halted and the pioneer spirit malmed. To promote efficiency by minimizing relays, the governor earnestly recommends that the administration be centralized at Juneau, the territorial capital, to the fullest extent possible, while governmental supervision is maintained at Washington. To further this end, after he proposed consolidation of bureaus under one departmental head, he suggests that each essential bureau station a representative at Juneau, empowered to act upon all matters not affecting public policy. Obstructions met by capital seeking investment and by people in quest of homesteads have been lessened somewhat in recent years, but by no means removed; both capital and people, it is urged, are entitled to a fairer chance than they have ever had in the past. "in conclusion, the governor submits the following recommendations: "A co-ordinated and simplified system of government, with bureaus having jurisdiction in Alaska consolidated under one departmental head at Washington. The stationing at Juneau of an authorized agent of each essential bureau exercising administrative functions in Alaska with power to act upon matters not affecting federal policy. "A centralization of executive and administrative business in Alaska to the fullest extent consistent with continued governmental supervision. An appropriation of $300,000 to supplement the fund of $155,000 now available for the purpose of constructing an administrative and executive building at Juneau on ground owned by the government and to provide quarters therein for the territorial legislature and the Alaska historical library and museum. "Liberal mining and land laws framed to meet distinctive and divergent conditions in Alaska and regulations under such laws that will tend to stimulate enterprise and encourage settlement." "A colonization plan to be worked out in conjunction with the operation of the government railroad to bring under cultivation the vast area of agricultural land in the interior. "Improved transportation facilities and more equitable freight rates, through private enterprise, if obtainable, and under governmental regulation and control; or, as an alternative, through the operation of vessels of the United States shipping board and the establishment of a mosquito fleet to meet local needs. "More liberal mail subsidies to enable the post-office department to function in Alaska and thus aid in the solution of transportation problems. "Continued conservation and safeguarding of the fisheries of Alaska. "Uninterrupted construction of roads and trails throughout the territory and necessary appropriations to carry forward the comprehensive plans of the Alaska road commission, working in co-operation with the territorial road commission; and the transfer of the work in the territory of the bureau of public roads to the Alaska road commission as a further step toward co-ordination, efficiency and economy. "Allotment of a fair percentage, at least one-half, of the net revenues derived from the Pribilof islands, which are in Alaskan waters, to the general fund of the territory. "More specific recommendations are not made because of the conviction that a co-ordinated system of government will facilitate the solution of many important territorial problems and the adjustment of collateral questions and issues." SENATE PASSES NAVAL TREATY SENATORS UNANIMOUS AGAINST PERMITTING SUBMARINE WARFARE ON MERCHANT SHIPS. SEA FORCES LIMITED USE OF CHEMICALS AND POISON GAS TO BE RESTRICTED BY PACT. Washington. The two arms conference treaties, limiting the navies of the great powers and restricting the use of submarines and poison gas were ratified in a landslide of approbation by the Senate. To the naval limitation covenant, declaring a naval building holiday and fixing the ratio of capital ship strength for the United States, Great Britain, Japan, France and Italy, the Senate gave its final assent by a vote of 74 to 1, and then almost without debate, it accepted, 71 to 0, the pact designed to prevent submarine operations against merchant men and to outlaw chemical warfare altogether. The only negative vote was cast against the treaty by Senator France, Republican, Maryland, who said he regarded naval reduction as a dangerous expedient under present world conditions. Every other member of the "irreconcilable" treaty bloc who was present, cast a vote in the affirmative, although Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, told the Senate he regarded the treaty as only a beginning, and Senator Johnson, Republican, California, declared he accepted the fortifications "status quo" provisions for the Pacific with "grave misgivings." A speech assailing the poison gas articles of the submarine and gas treaty was made on the floor by Senator Wadsworth, Republican, New York, chairman of the military committee, but before the ratification roll call he left the chamber and did not vote. The New York Senator disagreed with the statement in the treaty text that use of gas in warfare had been "justly condemned by the general opinion of the civilized world," argued that chemical warfare had not proved actually more brutal than other accepted methods of destruction, and expressed a fear that the treaty pledges would be violated in any emergency. Twenty Greek Towns Burned. London—Twenty Greek villages near Kerasunda on the Black sea were burned and four other large villages in the Pontus met a similar fate, says a telegram from Archbishop Meletios Metaxakis, patriarch of Constantinople, received by the archbishop of Canterbury. Most of the inhabitants of these villages perished in the flames, the patriarch's message said. Stolen Radium Is Recovered. Toronto, Ont.—Radium valued at $20,000, stolen from the side of a patient in the Hamilton, Ont., city hospital while he was unconscious, has been located in Syracuse, N. Y., it was learned here. It was at first thought that the radium had been lost in the hospital and an expert from Pittsburg made a vain search of the city's sewers. Dublin Mob Wrecks Newspaper Dublin.—A large party of armed men held up the staff of the Freeman's Journal, smashed the presses, threw gasoline on the floors and stairs and set fire to the building. The staff of the newspaper was liberated after the fire was started. Germans Aroused Against Russians. Berlin. The Berlin newspapers have joined hands in demanding that, in the light of the recent attempt upon the life of Paul M. Milukoff, former minister of foreign affairs in the Russian provisional government, Russians of all political parties be forced to desist from agitation. The newspapers declared Russian monarchists must be checked as well as the Bolshevists. The German press says Germany is willing to have Russians conduct theaters and engage in legitimate social, artistic and educational activities, but they must put a ban on politics. Crime School Is Bared by Boy. Muskegon, Mich.—Startling revelations of a school for thieves is contained in the confessions of Cecil Keen, 19 years old, and Robert Ownes, 17, boy robbers, who have admitted twenty-four hold-ups in the past few weeks. William Keen, 54 years old, father of Cecil, and who ins pleaded guilty to receiving stolen goods, has been the boys' preceptor in crime, according to their stories. Pershing Opposes Further Cut in Army Washington.—Stating the army's case in opposition to further reductions in its enlisted and commissioned strength before Washington newspapermen gathered at the National Press Club, General Pershing, chief of staff, and Major General Harbord, deputy chief of staff, jointly declared their belief that the bill passed by the House limiting the army to 115,000 men and 11,000 officers would work serious injury to the nation's military policy and undermine the best system for preparedness the nation ever had.

(Prepared by the United States Department respect to other rooms, the o of Agriculture.) A kitchen conveniently planned and equipped, having good lighting and ventilation, saves time and labor for the housekeeper. It contributes to the health and contentment of the whole family. Circular 189, The Well-Planned Kitchen, just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, discusses the points which are essential in making the kitchen a pleasant and effective workroom. Improve the Old Kitchen. To remodel an old kitchen is often a difficult problem, but even minor improvements, such as refinishing the walls, woodwork, and floor attractively, or adjusting the table and sink to a comfortable working height, reduce drudgery and save money. It is best, if possible, to use the kitchen only as a place for preparing food. If the laundry, wash room and general storage room are located elsewhere near by, it is more sanitary. A dining alcove partitioned off the kitchen is recommended in many cases to save steps. A small kitchen about 9 by 12 is generally considered most convenient. The location of the kitchen with SEASONINGS HELP IN COOKING VEGETABLES Excellence of Dish Depends Greatly on Proper Use. Each Household Must Make Selection Which Her Family Prefers—Italians and Some Other Races Favor Garlic. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Much of the excellence of well-cooked vegetables depends upon the proper use of seasonings and sauces. The seasoning selected should undoubtedly be suitable, for the dish, but so much depends upon custom that only general suggestions can be made. The Italians and some other races are much fonder of garlic than Americans, the Germans of summer savory or "bohnenkraut" in string beans, and the English of mint with peas. Each housewife must select the seasonings which her family prefers and endeavor to use them in such a way that the special flavors may be most satisfactorily brought out. When a soup, sauce or vegetable is to be flavored with an herb or another vegetable the flavor should be added toward the end of the cooking period. Since the oils and other bodies which give vegetables and herbs their flavor are volatile they are either driven off by long-continued cooking or rendered much less delicate in flavor. Herbs that are to be left in the dish or served with the dish must be added just before the food is served. The herbs generally served with the dish are chervil, parsley, tarragon and chives. Burnet, thyme, summer savory, sage and sweet basil are cooked with the dish a short time, not over 20 minutes, and are then removed. The little bunch of mixed herbs, the "bouquet garni," so often referred to in cook books, is made with two branches of parsley, a sprig each of thyme and summer savory, a small leaf of sage, and a small bay leaf, all tied together. This is cooked with the dish from 10 to 20 minutes, then removed. The bay leaves must be purchased at the grocer's. Turnips, carrots, parsnips, celery, leeks, chol, onions, etc., when used just as flavorers, should be tied in a bunch and cooked 20 or 30 minutes in the dish and then be removed. When shallot and garlic are used they should never be cut, but separated into "cloves." One clove will be enough for a small quantity of soup, sauce or ragout. Never fry shallot or garlic. Cook in the dish to be flavored about 10 minutes, then remove. Substitutes. When in a hurry to starch a few pieces, and the starch box is found empty, use corn starch, taking the same quantity as of laundry starch. The result will be the same; the only difference is that corn starch is a little more expensive. The next time some paste is needed and there is none on hand use condensed milk. respect to other rooms, the outlook from its windows, and the placing of doors and windows are points to be well considered. A trim back yard with good walks helps to keep the kitchen clean. A kitchen should be well ventilated in winter as well as in summer with door transoms and ventilating window screens. The sink, stove, work table and other important parts of the kitchen should be well lighted and the floor easy to keep clean. Running water is desirable, both hot and cold. Windows and doors always should be screened against files. Saving Steps Conserves Energy. The proper grouping of sink, stove, and work table to save steps is very important. All permanent equipment should be substantial and easy to keep in order. An abundance of cupboard and shelf room, well planned, helps orderly storage of utensils and supplies. Grouping articles which are used together saves time. A rest corner is recommended. The kitchen as a whole should meet the standards of a convenient well-arranged workshop. Circular 189 is free upon application to the United States Department of Agriculture. USE KITCHEN FOR FOOD ONLY Most Sanitary Plan and Permits More Compact and Convenient Arrangement of Equipment. Is your kitchen used chiefly for the preparation of food, or is it a combination cookroom, laundry, washroom, passageway, and dining room? It is better to use the kitchen only as a place for preparing and, if necessary, serving food. This is more sanitary and permits more compact and convenient arrangement of equipment, the United States Department of Agriculture believes. Laundry, washroom, and general storage room are sometimes combined and used as a place for men and children coming in from out of doors ao leave work clothes and muddy boots and rubbers. REMOVE STAINS ON FABRICS Simple Treatment Used by Our Grand-dames Will Prove Efficient in Most Cases. There are few stains upon fabrics which cannot be removed by the easy method in use by our grand-dames. That is, tie the fabric over a vessel or bottle, rendering the surface taut, then from a height of several inches, pour upon the spot a continuous stream of boiling water, as a rule, the most obdurate stain will fade away under this simple treatment. TO SPRINKLE FINE BLOUSES To Distribute Dampness Evenly Place Blouse in Damped Towel for Ten Minutes. When sprinkling fine blouses or baby clothes it is difficult to distribute the dampness evenly. Dip a towel in water, wring it out, place the blouse in it and roll it up tightly. Leave for 10 minutes and the article will be found to be evenly dampened all over and ready for immediate ironing.

Hot Chicken Salad.—Mix one pint of cooked chicken cut in cubes, one cupful of cooked peas, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of pepper, one tablespoonful of onion juice, one pimento and one teaspoonful of lemon juice; set aside in a cool place for at least an hour. Make a sauce, using one-fourth of a cupful of butter, the same of flour, half a teaspoonful of salt, a cupful each of cream and chicken broth. Add the seasoned ingredients and let stand over hot water until ready to serve. Drifting down, drifting down!

Pineapple Tartlets. - Cover fluted tart pans with a plain paste, prick well with a fork and will be enjoyed. Pineapple Tartlets. — Cover fluted tart pans with a plain paste, prick well with a fork and bake in a hot oven. When a delicate brown remove from the oven, shake the shells from tins and replace the tarts in the tins and fill with the following mixture: Cook one cupful of grated pineapple, one-fourth of a cupful of sugar, the grated rind and juice of an orange, a few grains of salt, two egg yolks slightly beaten; when of the consistency of custard chill and fill the shells. Spread each with a meringue made of using the egg whites beaten stiff and one-fourth of a cupful of powdered sugar. Brown slightly in the oven, and serve cold. Creamy Fudge.—Take two cupfuls of sugar, one-half cupful of milk, one tablespoonful of butter, one-third of a cupful of corn sirup and four tablespoonfuls of cocoa. Boil to the soft ball stage and set away to cool in the dish. When cool stir and beat. Add flavoring and nuts and drop before the mixture gets too stiff, by spoonfuls on waxed paper. Maple corn sirup may be used and a flavoring of maple, which will make a most delicious maple fudge. Warren Stew.—Cut cold roast beef into small pieces, add one onion cut fine, take any leftover gray, add one cupful of strained tomato and thicken slightly. Season highly with cayenne, salt, parsley and a teaspoonful of curry powder if one likes that seasoning. Brown the onion in a little fat, add to the beef in a casserole with the other ingredients and cook until tender. Then prepare dumplings, place over the top, cover and cook ten or fifteen minutes, according to the size of the dumplings. Nerelie Maxwell Buddhism's Sacred Place.

Continue bearing until the mixture is creamy, then add flavoring of vanilla and chopped nuts. Drop on a buttered sheet before it gets too hard. French Fondant.—Take one pound of sugar, one-half cupful of water, two tablespoonfuls of white corn sirup or an eighth of a teaspoonful of cream of tartar. Boil until a soft ball is made when dropped into cold water. Set away to cool, then stir until creamy. Place in a buttered bowl, cover with a cloth and let stand for a day or two to ripen. This foundation may be used for any number of candies. Flavor with peppermint, melt over hot water and drop on waxed paper, for peppermint patties. Wintergreen patties may be prepared the same way with wintergreen flavoring. Chopped pineapple added to fondant made into balls and dipped in chocolate, also melted over hot water, is delicious. Cream Candy.—Take one cupful of cream and two cupfuls of sugar. Boil to a soft ball stage, flavor to taste, then beat and pour into a greased dish, or drop from a spoon. Mock Cherry Pie.—Mix one and one-half cupfuls of cranberries cut in halves, three-fourths of a cupful of raisins, chopped, one cupful of sugar and one tablespoonful of flour. Place this mixture in a pastry lined pie plate, dot with bits of butter, add two tablespoonfuls of orange juice, cover with an upper crust and bake thirty-five minutes in a hot oven. "When earth's last picture is dusted, And the floors are painted and dried— When the oldest carpet is beaten, And the youngest spider has died— We shall rest, and faith we shall need it. Lle down for a moment or two— Till the dust on the grand piano Shall set us to work anew." GOOD THINGS TO EAT. A nice muffin which the whole family will enjoy is: Oatmeal Muffins.

Beethoven's Marvelous Music. The mysterious charms of Goethe's song of Mignon, to which Beethoven wrote the music, is that the song is the expression of the same awstruck yearning which wails and thunders through the music of the master. In the melody alone all the wild vagueness and dim aspiration of the song are manifest, and only because the union is perfect is the impression uniform. Should Wilhelm Melster be lost to literature the blossom of Mignon's life would still bloom in the music.—George William Curtis. Cleaning, Pressing and Repairing.

Inveterate Punster. The earliest form of ballroom dancing was the quadrille, started about 1815. This was followed by the lancers, invented in 1836. The polka was adopted in 1835. The waltz, which came from Germany, in 1795, did not become popular as a ballroom dance till later. The two-step is an American invention. Thomas Hood, the poet, was the prince of English punsters, and found his own name a fruitful subject of his wit. On being shown a portrait of himself very unlike the original, he declared that the artist had perpetrated a false Hood. When near his end he said he was dying out of charity to the undertaker, who wished "to urn a lively Hood." --- Vegetable Shampoo Pure, thoroly cleanses hair and scalp.
