LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY CLEVELAND EDITOR IS CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR VOL. XXVIII. Ohio Afro-American Republicans are conducting meetings for the purpose of organizing to support one of their number for the Republican nomination for governor this fall. There are more than 105,000 colored voters in Ohio, 10,000 of whom are in Cleveland. The fact that the Hon. Harry C. Smith, for nearly forty years editor of the Cleveland, Ohio, Gazette, organ of the Afro-American voters of the state, and for six years a member of the Ohio Legislature from Cleveland, received 61,081 votes as a candidate for the Republican nomination for secretary of state in the fall of 1920, naturally inclines his people to look to him as their choice for governor. Editor Smith has received many letters from leading members of his race in Cincinnati, Springfield, Dayton, Columbus, Xenia, Toledo, Akron, Youngstown, Sandusky, Zanesville and smaller cities and towns of the state, calling on him to stand as a candidate. When asked what his intentions were, he replied that he would announce his decision later. Mr. Smith was recognized throughout the county during the two Harding campaigns for Ohio's endorsement—for the Republican nomination for the Presidency—as the national Harding leader of his race. He also led these in the state, with his paper, in the support they gave the candidacies of the Hon. Frank B. White for the United States Senate and Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty for delegate-at-large to the last Republican national convention. His ability as a campaign speaker is well known throughout the state, particularly in Cleveland and in northern Ohio. Editor Smith's feature accomplishments, as a member of the Ohio Assembly, in the estimation of his people, are Ohio Civil Rights law and Ohio's Mob Violence or Anti-Lynching law, the latter the basis of the Dver Anti-Lynching bill recently passed in the United States House of Representatives and now pending in the United States Senate—Cincinnati, Ohio, Enquirer, March 23, 1922. We feel it not only a duty but an honor to endorse the colored voters of Ohio in their open declaration of nominating our fellow-editor and very capable citizen, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, for governor in the coming fall election. Editor Smith is a man who does things, and if our race is to measure up and be saved from deprivation of their rights as citizens, we must support such leaders that have continuously, consistently and fearlessly advocated and that with much success our legal rights in this "land of the free." We are with our people of Ohio and will gladly publish in the columns of the COLORADO STATESMAN any article supporting Hon. Smith's nomination. Accept the nomination, brother, and prove the worth of a worthy citizen. [Editor.] BOULDER, COLO., NEWS. Well we have just been having a fine snow storm.

ABLE PEOPLE'S PA ADC E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, Shriners' Case To Come Up May 1st in Texas White Fraternal Order Is Making a Hard Fight to Prevent Colored Order From Using Name and Insignia. INJUNCTION AFFECTS ALL Colored Shriners in Every Section Injoined From Using Name or Emblem of Well-Known Organization. Houston, Texas, April 13.—Preliminary injunction enjoining colored Shriners of Houston, "and of the entire United States," from using the names of the organization or using, wearing or displaying the emblems, insignia, badges and head covering of the organization will be heard by Judge Ewing Boyd, of the Fifty-fifth Judicial Court of Texas, on Monday, May 1, 1922. The writ of injunction has already been served upon several colored Shriners of the colored contingent here, and, since the imperial council intervened at the filing of the original petition, the court granted the temporary injunction against both the local temple and the entire jurisdiction. In their petition, the whites give a brief history of the founding of the organization in America, and try to establish the exclusive right of white people to operate a Shrine in the United States. The restraining injunction, temporary in its nature, prohibits the colored Shriners from employing the names of the plaintiff's organization or "further using the name of the 'Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine,' or the name 'Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine,' or the name 'Doric Temple of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine,' or the name 'Ancient Egyptian Order Arabic Order Nobles Mystic Shrine of North and South America and its jurisdiction,'" or using any of the "emblems, insignia, badges, and head covering or any colorable imitation of any fraternity or secret order." Ku Kluxers Everywhere, Says Doctor Ku Kluxers Everywhere, Says Doctor Knoxville, Tenn., April 14.—"The Ku Klux Klan is everywhere," declared Dr. K. C. Lewis Fowler of Atlanta, Ga., who delivered an address here on the work and power of the organization. "It is on the streets, in the churches, in the city hall, on the police force. Anywhere you go you can be sure that the watchful eye of the klan is near and that it has your number. "We grant to the colored man the right to live and enjoy the fruits of his labor, but he must not hold office. We will not stand for that. He cannot be governor, sheriff or any other officer. God never meant the colored race to rule. "The Negro race, although living in one of the richest countries on earth, remained in savagery until the white man came." In other parts of his address he attacked the Roman Catholic church and told his audience why the klan would keep the names of its members secret. The klan, according to him, is going to become a powerful political factor. ```markdown ``` DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 22 1922 World Peril Is White, Not Yellow, Claim World Peril Is White, Not Yellow, Claim Day of Exploitation of Colored Races Is Past, Sociologist Tells Christian Church Forum. Columbus, Ohio, April 17.—The real peril of the world "has been neither yellow nor black, but white." Howard E. Jensen, professor of sociology at Butler College, Indianapolis, Ind., asserted in an address here tonight before the Congress of Disciples of Christ, a national forum of the Christian Church. "The atrocities of the Congo and the Amazon and the encroachment of the white race powers upon the Far East, until finally checked by the rising military and naval power of Japan, will serve to make this clear," he continued. "Over all of the black man's land, except for Liberia and Abyssinia, and over all of the red man's land from the Arctic to Cape Horn, there float the white man's flags, while Asia, excepting China and Japan, is subject to white rule. This supremacy has been achieved through violated truces and broken treaties. "I agree with Lothrop Stoddard at one point—that if a race war comes, it will bring about a union of all colored races against the white, a combination in which the white will find itself outnumbered four or five to one. This is the day of the white man's salvation. Within a generation, or a century at most, he must recognize that his period of exploitation of other races is over, and he must learn how to co-operate across racial lines in promoting human progress and in building a more ethical civilization. "The most important conflict group in the past has been the nation, but for several decades humanity has been undergoing reorganization along lines of economic, cultural and racial cleavage which in no way respect political boundaries. We may expect that nationalism will play an ever dwindling role and that the coming struggles will follow these new lines of cleavage." Sue for Estate of $1,000,000 Left to Schools Newark, N. J., April 14.—Eleven nieces and nephews of Mrs. Calista S. Mahew of South Orange, who in October, 1921, died at the age of 98 and left most of her $1,000,000 fortune to race institutions, have filed an appeal against the probate of the will. Although it had been known that Mrs. Mayhew had been interested in welfare work among people who were not white during many years of her life, the news of her leaving practically her entire fortune to the race to be used in homes and schools, came as a complete surprise to the entire country. The claim being put forward by Mrs. Mayhew'sistant relatives is similar to that used in many such instances. These relatives charge that their aunt was of unsound mind and that she did not sign the will. It will be remembered that during the last month a case like this was contested in New York in which Miss Cora Nelson Brooks was awarded the fortune of William A. Denniston (white), a retired oil broker. The date of the hearing has not yet been fixed. Press Association Adjourns Tuskegee Institute, Ala., April 5. After being in session here three days the newspaper representatives making up the National Negro Press Association adjourned sine die. The sessions were presided over by Jos. L. Jones, chairman of the executive committee, of Cincinnati, Ohio, and J. Finley Wilson of Washington, D. C., the president; the former opened the meeting and presided until Mr. Wilson arrived. Many splendid items effecting the success of the newspaper men were taken up and considered. Among them was "The reviving of the standardization of advertising;" the report of the committee on code service; the appointment of B. J. Davis of Atlanta Independent to head up the committee on ways and means; and the adding of W. L. Porter of the East Tennessee News of Knoxville, Tenn., as a member of the committee on code service, together with the report of all the standing committees and officers. A resolution was unanimously adopted favoring the Henry Ford proposition to take over Muscle Shoals to that of any other proposition now before Congress. More than fifty representatives of newspapers were in attendance, they taking advantage of the occasion to attend both the meeting and the unveiling of the monument of the late Booker T. Washington, the social features of Tuskegee being also attractions. Prominent among the veterans who were in attendance was Will Steward, who is entering his fortieth year as a consecutive newspaper editor and publisher; Miss Bertha T. Perry, representing the Philadelphia Tribune, she having succeeded the late C. J. Perry, her father, to the control, and G. A. Morgan of Cleveland Call. Announcement was made that an executive session would in all probability be held during the summer to hear the reports of special committees. Tuskegee Gets U. S. $2,250,000 Hospital Washington, April 13.—Bids for construction of the new hospital for Negro veterans at Tuskegee, Ala., will be opened on May 1, it was announced here by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Clifford. The hospital, which is to cost $2,250,000, will have a capacity of 500 beds, of which 230 will be for tubercular patients and 270 for shell-shock cases. Actual work on the new Negro hospital, officials said, should be under way by the middle of May, as the contracts for the mechanical equipment and building work on the institution should be left by May 10. Colored ex-service men protested against erecting the hospital in the South to no avail. They claimed they preferred having it in a state where they would not be forced to ride in "jim crow" cars in order to get there.

Willcox Praises Negro Leaders Tuskegee Institute, Ala., April.—Conspicuous among the visitors to the recent unveiling of the Booker T. Washington Memorial at Tuskegee Institute was a group of Dr. Washington's friends, members of the "Old Guard," who were invited by Dr. R. R. Moton, principal, to serve upon an honorary unveiling committee. In commenting upon the unveiling exercises Honorable William G. Willcox, New York City, chairman of the board of trustees of the institute, said: "To my mind nothing was more encouraging than to see that splendid honorary unveiling committee of the Booker T. Washington Memorial, that committee of about 100 colored citizens of the country, whom Dr. Moton had invited to act as the honorary unveiling committee. I looked and looked at their faces, the strong, intelligent, forceful faces of those men, and I thought I had never seen more to cause me to feel more encouraged about the Negro race. "I have never had any doubt in my own mind that the students at Tuskegee Institute were going to make good use of the opportunities and advantages offered here, but it is one thing to feel that individuals would make good and it is another thing to see such a fine group of men who already have made good; who already have won distinction in their different lines of work and I think if anyone had any question about the capabilities of the Negro race, that a glance at the type of men composing that committee, should reassure the most doubtful." African Steamship Line Is Shipping Board's Plan African Steamship Line Is Shipping Board's Plan Washington, April.—Inauguration of a monthly line of shipping board cargo vessels to South and East African ports beginning in May, was announced by the shipping board.

ONE FOR ALL. COLORADO citizens generally are looking to the Legislature, now in session under special summons of Governor Shoup, to grasp the opportunity offered and take a patriotic and unselfish step toward community and state upbuilding. It is agreed upon every hand that Colorado has not gone forward in the past twenty years as it should. In fact, we have been almost at a standstill, and our increase in population, according to the last census, has been almost negligible. This, too, in face of the fact that our national resources and superb advantages surpass those of any other intermountain state. The business depression so long apparent in the East, is now being severely felt in the West, and the great commonwealth of Colorado is certain to suffer untold hardships unless far-sighted ability and statesmanship be employed to steer her course clear of the rocks. Two great documents confront the members of the General Assembly, one the bill for flood protection in and around Pueblo, the other a bill for the creation of a Moffat tunnel district for the northwestern part of the state. To put this big program over and start the now stagnant wheels of industry and labor to rolling, would indicate that the broad spirit that gripped the hearts of the empire builders of pioneer days had returned to the state. The dreams and hopes of Palmer and Moffat, of Byers and Cheesman and Grant will have been realized, and Colorado, instead of being a commonwealth of minor importance, struggling along with less than a million people, with abandoned mining districts and dismantled railroads, will come into her own as a sovereign growing power of prosperity and happiness. The time has come when, in the very interest of self-preservation and as against inescapable decay, that petty jealousies must be laid aside. The small town stuff and small town grievances must be overcome. Denver is aspiring for a population of 500,000; let her have it. Pueblo is struggling to regain her prosperity of other days, with mill and factory and smelter running full blast; let her have it. The agricultural districts, the mining industry and stock interests are all crying for a revival. Let them each and all have it, but such accomplishments can only come through Joined hands and united effort. The greatest opportunity that has ever confronted a Colorado Legislature abounds in the enactment into law of these two great measures. No boon or blessing can come to a part of the people without in a degree reaching all of them. What Colorado wants is a return of prosperity, and it matters but little whether it passes through the gateway at Pueblo or Denver, or over Ute Pass at Colorado Springs. This brings us to the point of consideration, that what is good for a part of the people is good for all, and our group of home builders and farmers and business men will reap their share of any harvest. All classes and all races suffered during the disastrous Pueblo flood of last year, and we would look forward to its recurrence with fear and trembling. Therefore, the COLORADO STATESMAN stands four-square for the two measures now before the Legislature, believing that in so doing we accurately reflect the wishes and sentiments of our people, whose every interest is linked inseparably with the destiny and future greatness of the state. SENTENCED TO DIE. UNDER the above striking caption the Denver Times of Monday last published an editorial that for gentle humanness and tenderness of appeal is well worthy of careful study. It treated of the very agonizing conditions prevalent in America as a result of the bristish treatment inflicted by the unspeakable Turk. Civilization has been shocked for years over the wanton slaughter and debasement endured by the Armenians, whose sole crime is an unfailing adherence to the Christian religion. It was thought for a while that the great world war would bring about a dismemberment of the vile Turkish empire and thus free the Armenians from their haughty dominance and merciless brutality. But it was merely a temporary delusion that was speedily swept aside with the return of a nominal peace. The rather tragic revelation in the editorial referred to is that thousands upon thousands of Armenian babies and young children must starve to death this year because of the apparent indifference of the powers who at one time had Turkey upon her knees in what the world look upon as the onward march of Christianity. It is indeed penetrating to one's heart of hearts to think that an innocent babe, brought into the world, must suffer starvation unto death, and all because of a faith, we are taught, is sublime. Through the nature of things these babies are sentenced to die from the very moment of their birth. And the cruelty of the sentence arises from the hardened Christian conscience, that through international jealousies and petty diplomacy will not allow itself to be penetrated. But it is not alone in Armenia that the Christian conscience lies dormant and absolutely unmindful of the sufferings of fellow human beings. Here in America the seeds of racial and creed prejudice seem to have overwhelmed what ever is left of the genuine spirit of Christianity. They have taken deep root and spread with the rapidity of the wind. "Sentenced to die" indeed are many in certain sections of our country who would dare be men and women, and insist upon a rightful share of human rights and liberty. Our heart goes out to Armenia and our group contribute consistently and worthily to the Near East relief fund, but this does not mean we are blinded to conditions in our own country. We wish, from the depths of our hearts, that world justice and applied Christianity were of such efficacy that not another Armenian would be tortured, nor that another Armenian baby would know the pangs of hunger. But this is too much to hope for, especially so far as this country goes, so long as professed Christians find it an easy transition from a prayer meeting to a lynching bee. Lawyer's Place in Government of Law and Order of Great Importance Ey H. M. DAUGHERTY. United States Attorney General. I have always held the legal profession in the highest esteem, and now, after having had the experience of one year as attorney general of the United States, I can say that I am prouder than ever not only of the law as a profession but of the American lawyer. The American lawyer, his ideals, and his conception of service, as well as his character and equipment, both intellectual and moral, are of paramount importance to every man who loves his country and cherishes its welfare. The very nature of constitutional gov- I have always held the legal profession in the highest esteem, and now, after having had the experience of one year as attorney general of the United States, I can say that I am prouder than ever not only of the law as a profession but of the American lawyer. The American lawyer, his ideals, and his conception of service, as well as his character and equipment, both intellectual and moral, are of paramount importance to every man who loves his country and cherishes its welfare. The very nature of constitutional government makes the mission of the lawyer one of fundamental importance. In a government of law and order the lawyer must occupy a commanding position. His relation to the state brings to him the call of public service. His relation to clients, in the private affairs of life, demand of him intellectual and moral qualities of the highest kind. If the state requires such high and important service of the legal profession, the lawyer who meets these requirements must be possessed of that intellectual and moral equipment that makes him efficient in performing these duties. In no calling are courage and fidelity more essential than in the legal profession. We admire brilliancy, but, by comparison, we discount brilliancy while we hold integrity at a premium. Therefore, since the American bar must furnish the judges for our judicial system, both state and national, and since from its ranks must come that vast concourse of young lawyers in the future who shall be the educative influence to hold public opinion in sound notions of government, it is of deep and grave concern to our republic that the ranks of the American bar shall be recruited with young men who not only have the moral character that shall make them trustworthy in handling a client's cause but shall have that moral and intellectual endowment that shall make them able to respond to every call of their country. Two Million Club Women Awake to Fact That Good Roads Benefit Everyone By MRS. JOHN D. SHERMAN, Executive Board, Road Division, A. A. A. One of the most important activities of the General Federation of Women's clubs is its work for a greater development of the roads and highways of the nation. The two million of the federation are fully awake to the fact that good roads are a benefit to everybody. They save the farmer time and money. They decrease the cost of food to the consumer. They help to increase school attendance. They stimulate travel, outdoor life, and acquaintance with the country. In this connection the federation is actively supporting the plans of the National Park-to-Park Highway association for the establishment of a national park-to-park highway which will pass through ten western states and connect eleven national parks. This will be a great system of interstate routes and means much for the education and pleasure of the American people. Those who travel this highway will gain a better understanding and appreciation of the potential resources of the great west and the rare scenic beauty of the parks will be a lasting inspiration. Good roads also minimize the isolation of the farm by making possible greater social intercourse. A vital need of today is the establishment of a better understanding between the women of the urban and rural communities and good roads is an important factor in bringing this about. Pertinent Questions Asked by Opponents of "Equal Rights" Amendment By MATTHEW WOLL, V. P., American Federation of Labor. In several states the law recognizes the right of the husband as head of the family to say where the residence of the family shall be. Would there be a possibility of one family having two legal residences? Then there is the question of the family name. Suppose the wife did not happen to like the name of the man she married and preferred to keep her own. What name would the children bear? Again, it has been suggested that the granting of equal rights implies equality of obligations and duties. At the present time a husband may be sued for failure to support the family. If the wife is to be placed upon a basis of absolute legal equality, is she to assume a like responsibility? The executive council of the federation is opposing the "equal rights" amendment because of a fear that many of the rights now enjoyed by women in industry would be imperiled by legal interpretations that might be placed upon the law. Man Must Be Sanguine Indeed Who Sees Assurance of Peace in Europe By RICHARD SPILLANE, in Forbes Magazine. The history of Europe has been one continuous story of war—war bred in hate or greed, the hates of racial or religious groups or the greeds of national groups for power or territory. Thus far there does not seem to be any evidence of a purpose to change from the old world system to the new, although in the new world racial or religious hates are few and of greed of territory there is none. A man must be sanguine indeed who sees assurance of peace, amity, and progress in Europe. When the world war started there were twenty-odd nations occupying the continent. Today they are divided into thirty-odd. The racial antagonisms, feuds, and jealousies are as strong as, if not stronger than ever. If the war was to put an end to war the effort, it would seem, was futile, for there is nothing in the situation today, except exhaustion of the people, to give assurance against the turning once more of the continent into a slaughter-house. About the only thing upon which Europeans are in accord is not paying their debt to America and in getting more money out of this country.

O. department, and Miss Maynard Maxwell of St. Paul, Minn., were quietly married Tuesday evening, April 11th, at the groom's residence, 2856 Welton street. ELI BURRELL dropped in from Chapelton, Dearfield, Colo., on business. He reported rain and snow for a couple of days, the same being helpful to the farmer. The colonists are talking something about oil in Dearfield. The select dancing party given by the Guild of St. Perpetua at old Colony hall Tuesday night, was a brilliant opening of the post-lenten season that will not be soon forgotten. The social lethargy brought on by the forty-day observance of lent was readily laid aside and every one of the 250 guests had an evening of complete enjoyment. Denver Glee Club will offer a delightful program at Zion Thursday, April 27. Music lovers and others will appreciate this splendid effort of local talent. Mrs. Capt. M. B. Wheeler of Kansas City, Mo., organizer of the Calanthe Drill Corps, and Capt. Geo. A. Logan of Denver were married Monday evening, April 17, 1922, at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. B.

On his return to Los Angeles he will visit several days in Denver. Rev. Ward has many friends here who will be pleased to welcome him. MADAME N. J. SKILLERN, our skilled artist and designer, came in for much congratulations from the priest and members of the Church of the Holy Redeemer for her work on the altar and pulpit coverings for Easter. The madame maintains her fame as a modiste, but as a designer and one of artistic taste she is establishing more than ordinary prestige in our community. Such deserving citizens merit our appreciation and loyal support. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. White were the genial host to a few of their friends at an evening's social in honor of Messrs. Handy and Crane who are traveling with the Chicago Grand Opera Company. Their beautiful home, at 1402 East Twenty-fourth avenue, in spring decorations, lent a charming aspect to the occasion, while the strains from the latest style Pianola furnished much pleasure to the delight of the guests. Everyone expressed the highest commendation for these popular entertainers. The Denver Glee Club, an organization to develop the musical ability of our people, is coming in for much commendation and support. Engagements are being filled to the satisfaction of both races, and young men with talent are requested to throw in their lot with this organization which is helping so successfully in our community work. A visit to their concert next Thursday at Zion Baptist Church at 8:15 p. m. will give ample proof of what they can do, and the valuable asset the club is to Denver. NOTABLE EASTER SERVICES IN ALL DENVER CHURCHES. Despite an all day snow storm that at times approached very nearly a blizzard, the Easter services in all Denver churches last Sunday were of special interest and the most largely attended in the history of Denver. Each of the churches had arranged fine musical programs and from re- ports given us, the various choirs were all in fine form. Another feature that marked the Easter-day services were the very lavish decorations and display of flowers, illies and palms. The snow storm cut short the usual parade of fine gowns and chic millinery so generally a part of the Easter festivities in Denver. STERLING, COLO, JOINS RANKS OF THE N. A. A. C. R. P. MAS PERLING, COLO., JOINS RANKS OF THE N. A. A. C. P. BY MAGNIFICENT CONTRIBUTION TO DENVER BRANCH. There are but few colored citizens in the thriving little city of Sterling but they are race loving and loyal to the core. When the call went out for memberships for 1922, Mrs. M. B. Gough, a leading club woman of Sterling, sensing the great work of the National Association and feeling that every American Negro should do his or her part in the effort to have the Dyer anti-lynching bill become a law, solicited membership among her white and colored friends, and on Saturday last sent $50 to the Denver branch. The COLORADO STATESMAN will lay open the challenge that not another city in the United States, with but thirty Negro citizens (the exact number in Sterling) can equal the record. DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION PRESENTS PLANS FOR BUILDING. Before a very large crowd Wednesday night, Mr. A. J. Simonson of the real estate division of the Denver Civic and Commercial Association, and Maj. Thos. Campbell, unfolded the plans for the proposed building to be erected for the use of the Denver Colored Civic Association. It was a very interesting meeting and many substantial subscriptions were pledged to take the first steps toward buying a plot of ground upon which to erect the building. A committee of seven was appointed to prepare more detailed plans to be presented at the next meeting which will be held at 2630 Welton street, Wednesday evening, May 3. "WORLD'S SERIES" BALL GAME BETWEEN THE THIRTEEN CLUB TIGERS AND BON VIVIANT WARRIORS APRIL 30. Without doubt the most eagerly looked for event of years is the grueling ball game scheduled to take place on Sunday, April 30, between the Thirteen Club Tigers, an aggregation of ball tossers composed of Jimmy Gross, crack short-stop of the famous White Elephants; Gilbert Zackery, Marshall Coates, Jimmy Banion, Elbert Robinson, Frank Baker and others on one side, and the Bon Viviant Warriors, who count in their line-up such stalwarts as "Kid" Frierson, Bob Roy, the Kentucky Thunderbolt; Albert Fisher, C. N. Pitt, Clarence Holmes, Fred Jackson, Chester Stell, Leonard Todd, Geo. Gross and others whose fame extends to far away days. The game promises to be a thriller from start to finish as both teams have assumed the "Lay on McDuff" attitude. The veteran George Parsons will no doubt officiate as umpire, with Drs. Terry and Westbrook on the side lines. Special arrangements for quick telephonic communications with all Denver hospitals have been made by Dr. S. A. Huff, while Curtis Harris and Jesse Douglass have volunteered to answer all emergency calls. It is expected that a huge crowd will witness the game, which will be played at Thirty-second and Humboldt streets. The proceeds go to the N. A. A. C. p. fund. The Takas will celebrate "The Res union of the States" at Shorter Chapel May 11. Keep off the date. COLORADO 23RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY MEETS IN SPECIAL SESSION.

To assure his patrons and the dancing public of his desire that they should be well taken care of in the musical line, Prof. George Morrison selected what he considered the bust colored talent in town to fill his engagements during the absence of his band, with the intention of keeping the colored musicians before the public's eye. But for some unknown reason after agreeing to fill all of his engagements, including the Palace Dancing Academy every Monday night, which is conducted by Morrison and Watkins, this band, with the exception of Wendell Allen and two others, refused to fill the Academy job. After trying to find out why the sudden change, we were informed of their intention to run themselves every Monday night at another hall. It was then that the Palace Dancing Academy secured one of the best bands in the West, the Marigold Band, which will look after Prof. Morrison's work until he returns.

BENJAMIN GIVENS, FORMER DEN VER RESIDENT, DIES. Our old friend, subscriber and townsman, Benjamin Glens, who left Denver a few years ago with his family, for Ogden, Utah, in search of health, joined the Great Majority a week ago, the news having reached our office recently. Ben, as he was popularly called, was a resident and home-owner in Denver for several years, and was head waiter at some of the exclusive white clubs for a long time. Quiet and unassuming, Ben endeared himself to his employers, and along with his wife, who was always very devoted to him, many friends were added to their list during their residence here. They entertained many of our leading visitors during the summer vacation period while here, and the COLORADO STATESMAN joins the many friends in offering deepest sympathy to Mrs. Givens in her great bereavement.

WASHINGTON SIDELIGHTS America's Need of Big Merchant Ships Irrigation Threatens the Glacier Park MAY BE ILL GET WHAT IS COMING TO ME NOW YANKEE MAY SIT ON REPARATION BOARD WASHINGTON. — The United States may yet be represented upon the interallied reparations commission, despite President Harding's decision to refrain from asking congress formally for authority for such participation. This view has been conveyed to congress in an informal manner, but owing to the peculiar political situation the President has determined that it would not be becoming of the executive to ask for such authorization. To suggestions coming from congress that the initiative in the matter should be taken by the executive and not by congress, State department officials replied that the basis for the executive's reluctance to take the initiative is the reservations "agreement" inco- ACTUAL naval strength of the United States in case of war would be greatly inferior to that of Great Britain, notwithstanding the American and British navies are placed on a practically equal basis by the naval treaty agreement, declared Senator Ransdell of Louisiana in a speech. Speaking on the naval disarmament treaty and the legislation designed to extend government aid to American shipping, Senator Ransdell, who is president of the National Merchant Marine association, pointed out that a navy, without adequate support from its national trade fleet, is practically powerless. "There is only one way for naval equality to be realized," he said, "and that is for America to make material additions to its commercial fleet. Swift vessels of commerce, carrying both freight and passengers, having a speed in excess of 15 to 20 knots—preferably 20 knots and over—and from 10,000 to 15,000 tons are most effective as auxiliaries to the navy in time or war." How Great Britain stands in relation to the United States on the basis of such ships is shown in the following table, adapted from figures presented by Senator Ransdell, giving the Lake Tahoe IRRIGATION threatens Giacler National park. Recommendations made by the international joint commission to the governments of the United States and Canada urge that Lower St. Mary lake, in the Blackface Indian reservation, Montana, be converted into an irrigation reservoir which will push ten miles back into the national park territory adjoining on the west, and turn the upper and lower lakes into one reservoir. If this is done, the level of beautiful St. Mary lake, wholly within the national park, will be raised more than forty feet. Under the treaty of 1909, Canada will have a prior right to three-quarts of these national park waters; the other quarter will go to Montana. INSECTS are cost the people of the United States $1,100,000,000 a year through their inroads on fruits, grain and vegetables. The ultimate consumer in the end pays for the crops these insects destroy, through higher prices. With $1,100,000,000 every year the government could— Foot the bill of 5,000 disarmament conferences like the one held in Washington last year. Pay half the total cost of federal government operation. Run an army three times the present size. Pay all current naval bills twice and have money left over. Here's the official list of these mauders and the annual board bill of each: Grasshoppers, $50,000,000; chinch bugs, $60,000,000; Hessian files, $40,000,000; corn root worms, $20,000,000; corn ear worms, $20,000,000; cotton boll weevils, $2,000,000; cotton boll worms, $12,000,000; cotton leaf worms, $8,000,000; apple codling moths, $20,000,000; grain weevils, $10,000,000; potato bugs, $8,000,000; army worms, $15,000,000; cabbage worms, $5,000,000; San Jose scales, $10,000,000. porated in the senate resolution of October 18, 1921, by which the senate ratified the separate treaty between the United States and Germany. This reservation, which was later included in the President's proclamation, provided "that the United States shall not be represented or participate in any body, agency or commission, nor shall any person represent the United States as a member of any body, agency or commission in which the United States is authorized to participate by this treaty unless and until an act of the congress of the United States shall provide for such representation or participation." Thus the administration holds that under the specific language of the senate's ratification resolution the initiative is clearly left with congress and, it is argued, suggestions from senators or congressmen that the President should go ahead and name a representative and transmit the name to the senate for ratification are clearly beside the point. Senator Underwood recently declared in the senate that the only way for the United States to get any part of the German reparation payments was to get representation on the allied reparation commission. YOU'RE WORTHLESS WITHOUT ME number and tonnage of vessels of 10,000 gross tons and over, and having speeds of 12 to 20 knots and over: America—Number, 44; tonnage, 384,247. Britain—146; tonnage, 1,870,147. "In other words," Mr. Ransdell said, "Great Britain has about three times as many ships capable of being used as high-grade naval auxillaries as the United States has." He pointed out that if our commercial marine is to remain at its present level, so far as these fast ships are concerned, then Great Britain, with her large fleet of potential naval auxillaries, would, beyond question, continue as she is today, very much more powerful on the seas, even though our naval vessels—our fighting ships—are considered on terms of actual parity. St. Mary lake, the upper of the two, all of it in Glacier National park, is one of the most strikingly beautiful waters on the American continent. There are many who assign it first place. An English traveler who had explored the Himalayas and the Andes recently stated that, among the lakes of greatest beauty in the world, it is by far the supreme example of its scenic kind. It lies east and west between mountains of quite extraordinary form and coloring, including such world celebrities as Red Eagle, Little Chief and Golng-to-the-Sun mountains, and heads up toward the glacier-splashed Continental divide at a point of sensational magnificence. The proposed reservoir will cover the forested shores from which these famous mountains rise and will submerge several miles of fine forest at the head of the lake through which the glacier-run St. Mary river winds into the lake. When the irrigation water is drawn low in August, the world-famous view from the St. Mary chalets, which thousands go there to see every summer, will be slashed across the lower middle by mucky mud-flats. The total eaten by these pests amounts roundly to one-tenth of the total farm produce of the United States. But pests destroy 30 per cent of all the fruits grown every year and 20 per cent of the vegetables. The chinch bug, with the biggest appetite of all, mounting to $60,000,000 a year, affects Ohio, Indiana, southern Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. Sometimes it invades the southeastern coast states. Grasshoppers, with a $50,000,000 appetite, are more or less common throughout the whole United States. The boll weevil, which feeds on the cotton plant, confines its activities to the cotton-growing states of the South. Other cotton pests bring the total annual destruction bill up to $140,631,100. CANAL WIDE OPEN TO AIR ATTACKS WEEKS' PLANS FOR AIRPLANE ROUTES TO ISTHMUS CALL ATTENTION TO DANGER. WATERWAY EASILY BOMBED Hostile Attitude of Congress Toward All Matters of National Defense May Block the Efforts of the Secretary of War. Bv EDWARD B. CLARK Washington. — Secretary of War Weeks' plan to open air routes to the Isthmus has brought sharp attention to the general matter of the proper defense of the Panama canal if war should come and an attempt should be made to put the waterway out of commission. The secretary of war has said that he considers the two most important points at which this government should maintain troops to be Hawaii and the Panama Canal Zone. When the canal was constructed the airplane had not been developed to the high point of efficiency of today. Nevertheless probable aggressive action by planes against the canal was taken into consideration. Day by day in military circles there has been study of the defense proposition in connection with the advance of aeronautics. It is recognized that if Uncle Sam's small fleet is to be divided between the waters of the Atlantic and the Pacific, the first effort of an enemy having its seat in the Pacific ocean would be to damage the waterway in order to prevent the quick transfer of ships and supplies to the Pacific waters. Bombs from an airplane naturally are considered the easiest means of putting the canal out of commission. The great danger to the waterway, therefore, is from a point above. The United States has spent large sums of money to make the canal safe from attack overland or from the sea. It will have to spend more money to make it safe against attack from the air. The only way that it can be safeguarded from bomb-dropping airplanes is to supply airplanes enough to meet and drive off raiders who are on destruction bent. Safe Only From Surface Attacks. In 1913, the year in which the waters of Gatun lake were turned into the Culebra cut, now called the Galliard cut, and the year in which the canal was opened for commerce, it was reported that Panama was immune from naval attack; that tremendous fortresses capable of repelling sea forces, no matter how powerful, had been constructed, and it was believed that even if the American navy should be destroyed by a foreign fleet, the enemy could not make way with his ships past the powerful batteries which the United States had erected in either ocean. At that time the problem of defense from a land attack was more acute. It was realized that enemy ships after having destroyed the American ships, could land at points out of range of the guns of the fortifications, forces strong enough to make their way through the jungle and to cripple the canal's activities by short-range artillery fire, even if the invaders eventually were repelled. Today the War department realizes that an enemy wishing to attack the canal will not be compelled to employ a landing force. All that it would have to do, in case the air approaches were not guarded thoroughly by American planes, would be to send a bomb-dropping craft from the deck of one of its ships, depending upon its crew to drop a shell where it would do the enemy the most good and the canal the most harm. Queer Attitude of Congress. The whole trend of things in Washington today seems to be toward the doing away with anything which looks like defense for the people or the properties of the United States. Military authorities, and the administration itself, are fearful of the danger which would threaten the Panama canal in case of trouble, even with a small power. If the United States were to have some little difficulty with a minor country on this continent, there would be nothing to do to prevent that minor country from sending an airplane over the Panama canal to do its work of bombing destruction. Judging from what has happened it seems likely that the President and his war secretary will have trouble in securing sanction for their plan to provide means to protect the great waterway from at least partial destruction in case of war or threatened war with any country anywhere. The canal cost millions; it is essential to the safety of the United States in case of attack, and it is essential to the regeneration of the shipping industries of the country. Nevertheless, when suggestion is made that a few millions might be spent in the way of insurance, the words of seeming wisdom fall upon unheeding congressional ears. Today a renewed study is being made of all possible methods of defending the Panama canal against attack from any quarter. It is unnecessary to say that these plans include adequate airplane protection. Daugherty's Camp Grant Plan. A good many years ago Attorney General Daugherty, then a lawyer in private practice, became in terested in four boys who appeared in court charged with a first and somewhat trivial offense. He interceded for them, sentence was suspended, and later through the instrumentality of Mr. Daugherty the boys were given a chance to make good. All of them rose to responsible positions in life. They made good. It seems likely that this personal interest in first offenders and in the chance of their salvation has induced the chief law officer of the government to recommend that an industrial and penal institution shall be established at Camp Grant, Ill., for convicted first offenders against the federal law. President Harding has given the plan his sanction. The bare news of the proposal already has been printed. It may not be uninteresting to know that criminologists think that, if the records could be obtained in full and studied carefully, it would be found there are fewer young second offenders against the federal law than there are against the state laws. Of course nearly every federal law has a state law somewhat similar to it, and perhaps a better way to put the matter would be to say that the belief seems to be that in proportion to numbers, more first offenders who have served terms in federal prisons are reclaimed than first offenders who have served their terms in state prisons. Look Lightly on Some Laws. There are certain offenses against the federal law which to some easy-going minds do not appear to be offenses at all. Men and women who would not steal a postage stamp, even if its theft was to save them a walk of five miles to a post office, will try to beat the government's tariff laws and are not at all conscience-stricken apparently when they succeed in beating its prohibition laws. There are hundreds of first offenders against the federal government who have looked at certain of the statutes as having been made to be broken. There probably are a great many young men in the federal prisons who do not realize today that their crime really was a crime. Instead of being criminals some of these young men simply have a warped moral viewpoint. This seems to be understood by some of the present prison officials of the government and by men in office elsewhere. It seems likely that the attorney general is overconfident when he says nine out of ten of the first offenders can be reclaimed. There probably is no such record of salvation as this to be found in any of the reformatory institutions in the United States. It is said that straightaway prisons where close confinement and hard labor are the rules do not reform a fifth of their inmates. If state reformatories are able to bring back into the fold of grace one-half of the black sheep which have broken away, the officials probably consider that their work justifies itself many times over. Danger of Favoritism. It has not yet been decided whether the recommendation for the legislation to make the Camp Grant institution possible shall include in it a provision that the first offenders shall be sent by the courts to existing federal prisons, or whether the offenders shall be sent direct to the reformatory. There seems to be a division of opinion in this matter. If the matter of the selection of federal prisoners in the regular institutions for transfer to the reformatories shall be left in the hands of the wardens, favoritism may play its part. On the other hand, if this course is followed an opportunity would be given to determine which of the prisoners are best fitted for early reformatory methods. If all the first offenders are to be sent to the reformatory direct from the scene of sentence it might receive men past reform and whose example would make difficult the reformation of others more susceptible to guiding influences. It is not known yet in Washington definitely what strength of opposition will develop to the plan for turning Camp Grant into a reformatory, but it seems likely today that authority will be given for the establishment of this school prison. - Dainty Little White Flower. Sweet alyssum is an easily grown, dalty little white flower, recommended to be used liberally for borders, edgings, baskets, pots, rockwork, and for cutting. For borders the seed should be sown thickly, so as to form masses. For winter bloom sow late in August and thin the seedlings to stand about four inches apart, but for spring bloom for borders the seeds should be sown in the open early in the spring, or even late in the preceding autumn in some localities. Where the plant will not endure the winter, however, early spring planting under cover, either in a cold frame, a spent hotbed, or in boxes in a dwelling, is most to be relied upon. Sweet alyssum can also be increased from cuttings made from strong new side shoots, as well as by division of the roots. By cutting back after the first flowers fade others will be produced.

NEW PEACE FORSEEN PREMIER PREDICTS GENOA CON GRESS WILL ATTAIN SUCCESS. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Genoa.—Facing 500 newspaper representatives of virtually all the world nations, the British premier, after announcing that the Germans would accept the conditions imposed by the allies concerning the Russo-German treaty, and that the soviet's reply on the general Russian question would be such as to permit of further hopeful negotiations, declared his unshakable conviction that the Genoa conference would prove a great success. He believed that it would restore harmony in Europe and was supremely confident that before adjourning it would adopt an agreement whereby all the nations of Europe would bind themselves not to commit acts of aggression against neighboring countries. "Such a pact," he exclaimed, "is an essential to the favorable issue of this conference; without it, I believe, the conference will be a failure." "I came not to make a speech, but rather to answer questions, and so clear up misunderstanding," he said, but immediately added: "God is in his heaven, and the conference at Genoa still lives and is going strong." The premier then made the announcement that the difficulties growing out of the signing of a separate Russo-German accord would be overcome, and later he made it clear that he had good reason to believe the German delegates were preparing to accept the suggestions laid down in the note sent them by the allied representatives. In it were certain conditions that the Germans would be expected not to sit on the commissions which henceforth will deal with Russian questions, because the Germans had already settled their affairs with Russia outside the conference. "I don't want to anticipate the character of the soviet answer to proposals for a general accord with Russia," continued the premier, "but I would be surprised if it were not of such a character as to permit us to go on with our work of reconstruction of the convulsed and devastated continent." Mr. Lloyd George emphasized that everybody was on an equal footing at Genoa, and that the Germans had a place on all the commissions which were to discuss the accord affecting Russia and all nations. To make a separate pact behind the back of their colleagues, was an act of disloyalty on the part of the Germans. "We were justified in taking energetic measures," declared the premier. "The thing will have a good effect on the conference." Girl Shoots Boy of 11. San Jose, Calif.—"It was a bluff—honest it was—I wanted to scare Harold—I didn't want to shoot him; he was my best friend in the world, before we fought, and I thought we could be friends again." So sobbed pretty blue-eyed 14-year-old Irene Granstedt at the juvenile detention home, where she is being held pending the outcome of the wound she inflicted upon Harold Galloway, 17, her high school lover. Reparation Board to Examine Treaty. Reparation Board to Examine Treaty. Paris.—The treaty between Germany and Russia, signed at Rapallo, probably will be formally placed before the reparations commission when the commission will begin an inquiry to determine whether the agreement conflicts with the treaty of Versailles. In commission circles it was pointed out that the commission probably would decide that the Rapallo pact was in direct contradiction of Article 248 of the Versailles treaty. This article in effect gives the commission first lien on all assets of the German empire. Jury Acquits Woman. Freehold, N. J.—A jury of men here acquitted Mrs. Hermina Renzelman, 31, who shot and killed her young sister, Gesine Wessels, on Jan. 15, because of alleged intimacy with her husband in their home at West Long Beach. The trial was held before Supreme Court Justice Kalisch. The jurors were chosen in three hours, and after deliberating a half hour they returned a verdict. Courtroom spectators applauded the verdict. Big Business Improvement Shown. Washington.—A "profound improvement" in business conditions over a year ago throughout the country is shown in the latest statistics of commercial and industrial movements during March, according to the monthly survey of current business made public by the Commerce Department. Optimism, always returning with the opening of spring weather, the department declared, had much to do with the recent increase in retail trade and better feeling prevailing generally. 1027 Twenty-first St., Denver Office Phone Main 2701.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Many a family that is fond of strawberry preserves or raspberry shortcake during the winter months finds itself in the fall without any of these delicious small fruits on its canned fruit shelves. The fruit ripens so rapidly that the housewife, oftentimes, is caught unprepared—without jars, tops, rubbers or some other canning necessity—and the crop is gone before she can procure them. now. If a lard can is to be used for pre see that the false year is in perfect or a new one. Wash Cans All cans and the washed carefully as and before they are not, now is the into immaculate conticle of foreign man side should be removed. Season Is Short. The season of any of the small fruits is very short, and full preparation for the canning should be made before even the first of the fruits begins to ripen. If you are going to get a new canner this year—and one certainly simplifies the work—the time to get it is BUY BAKING POWDER IN SMALL QUANTITY Estimate Time One-Pound Can Will Last in Cooking. Many Pantry Supplies May Be Replenished Before Stock Is Exhausted—Making Estimates With Other Foods. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Baking powder often runs short at a crucial moment when one has a cake half-mixed, thinking there is plenty of it on hand. Of course, the far-sighted housekeeper plans to replenish each of her pantry supplies before the stock is exhausted, but she generally buys baking powder in small quantity so as to have it fresh. A pound can of baking powder can be bought at regular intervals if one knows approximately how many teapoonfuls it contains and how many teapoonfuls are needed for the cooking during any given period. The experimental kitchen of the United States Department of Agriculture has determined, by scientific weighing and measuring, that there will be a variation between 125 and 150 teaspoons in a one-pound can of baking powder. This is assuming an average weight of 3.3 grams for a 5 c. c. or standard teaspoon. In a home where hot biscuits are made every morning, possibly four teaspoonfuls of baking powder would be the average amount daily to leaven a pint of flour; if a cake was made on Saturday calling for three teaspoonfuls of baking powder and perhaps cookies earlier in the week, requiring two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a minimum of about 33 teaspoonfuls a week would be required. The pound can therefore should last from three to five weeks, but if extra baking, not counted in this estimate, is necessary, it would be well to replenish the baking powder once a month. Similar estimates with other foods can be made by the individual housewife. The rule that three teaspoonfuls make one tablespoonful is sufficiently accurate for practical purposes, say specialists in home economics in the United States Department of Agriculture. It may be interesting to the housewife to measure for herself the number of cups of coffee she is likely to obtain from a pound, reckoning one tablespoonful per cup. Knowing how many cups are made every day she can easily compute the amount of coffee needed during the week or month. Chocolate Almonds. Blanch Jordan almonds, dry them between towels, then strew over a baking sheet and place in a medium hot oven until delicately browned. When cold dip one at a time into melted chocolate. Drop them on a clean baking sheet to harden. Cleaning Hint. Use one-half cupful of kerosene oil in a pailful of water to wash your window sashes and sills. Wash glass with ammonia and water. now. If a lard can or a wash boiler is to be used for processing the cans, see that the false bottom used last year is in perfect condition or make a new one. Wash Cans Thoroughly. All cans and their tops should be washed carefully as they are emptied and before they are stored. If they were not, now is the time to put them into immaculate condition. Every particle of foreign matter inside or outside should be removed and the flanges around the top scrubbed with a brush. Then the whole can and its top should be boiled in soda water. If pickles have been in the jar, extra care must be taken. After boiling, the open jar should be placed in the sunshine out of doors for several days. A large part of the losses in canning is caused by the jars not being absolutely clean. LEVER PRESS VERY HELPFUL Pressure Needed in Making Cheese Can Be Regulated by Use of Pole and Pail. For those, who make their own cheese following is described a simple method of pressing the curd. The lever stick should be about twelve feet long, while the weight may consist of a pail containing rocks or earth. The box upon which the mold is placed is set about three feet from a wall, post, or tree, on which the slat Pressure Is Variable at Will. is nalled. One end of the stick is placed under the slat. Have a board block about half a foot square to place on the mold and rest the stick on this. Do not apply full pressure at first. The pressure can be regulated by hanging the pall about halfway between the mold and the end of the stick. When more pressure should be applied draw the pall to the end of the stick.—Mrs. C. N. T. in Power Farming. OF INTEREST TO THE HOUSEWIFE Never allow silver to stand unwashed over night. The best polish for brass is a solution of salt and vinegar. * * * * Salad oil added to putty prevents it from hardening and cracking. * * * * When cooking very sour fruits add a very little salt, and less sugar will be necessary. * * * * If you buy oranges in quantity, store them (in their own papers) so they do not touch. * * * * A delicious flavor is given a roasting ham by basting it with a few tablespoonfuls of grapejuice. * * * * In dark cellarways paint the lowest cellar step white and it is easy to know when the bottom is reached. When putting curtains on brass window rods put a thimble over the end of the rod and the curtain will slip on smoothly. To keep small rugs lying smooth, sew a small brass ring on each corner of the rug and slip the ring over a tack in the floor. A tablespoonful of sugar added to the water for basting roast beef will give a rich brown color and improve the flavor. Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union Have you found work that you can do?

A store of health to meet life's needs? Oh, build your house of happiness! -B. Y. Williams. If there is a baby or invalid in the family give them prune-barley water. Wash a tablespoonful of pearl barley, add three teaspoonfuls of sugar and one cupful of stewed prunes. Pour over this mixture one quart of boiling water, cover and let stand for three hours, then strain. # Prune Cake Filling. Chop one-half pound of steamed prunes, add two tablespoonfuls of sugar, a third of a cupful of boiling water and a tablespoonful of lemon juice. Mix and cook in a double boiler until thick enough to spread on the cake. This filling spread on bread or toast for luncheon or for sandwich filling is delicous. Apples may be cored and baked until nearly cooked, then the centers filled with raisins and prunes. Cover with a meringue and bake until brown. Serve as a dessert with cream and sugar. Gelatin Prune Dessert.—Soak one-half pound of prunes in two cupfuls of water overnight. Cook them in the same water until soft, then stone and cut them into quarters. To the prune liquor add enough boiling water to make two cupfuls, soak two tablespoonfuls of gelatin in one-half cupful of cold water. Add one-half cupful of sugar with a quarter cupful of lemon juice to the hot liquid. Strain and add the prunes and chill. Stir while cooling to prevent the prunes from settling. Serve with sugar and cream. Apple Pudding.—Beat one egg, add to it a third of a teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of sugar and a cupful of thin sweet cream, then add two cupfuls of flour mixed with four teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Grease a two-quart pudding pan, half fill with pared and quartered sour apples, spread the batter over them and steam in a steamer two hours or bake in a hot oven. The apples if not easily cooked may be cooked a little before adding the batter. Serve with a lemon sauce or sugar and cream. Trust not to-morrow's dawn to bring The dreamed of joy for which you wait: You have enough of pleasant things To house your soul in goodly state. —B. Y. Williams. THE EVERYDAY PRUNE In country places and small towns where one cannot always procure the fresh fruits, prunes are a most desirable fruit. The ordinary method of serving prunes (boarding house style) has put them into dis- prunes are a most desirable fruit. The ordinary method of serving prunes (boarding house style) has put them into disrepute, but there is no fruit richer in food and with marked medicinal value. One pound of prunes will furnish more nutriment than the same weight of lean meat or bread. Prune Bread.-To a pint of light bread sponge prepared with milk add two tablespoonfuls of sugar and graham flour to make a stiff batter. Add a cupful of steamed prunes that have been stoned and cut fine. Turn the dough into the pans and let rise, then bake in a moderate oven. Prune Scones.—Cream one-quarter of a cupful of butter, add one-half cupful of sugar, one beaten egg and one cupful of flour sifted with one-half teaspoonful of baking powder. Add one-quarter of a cupful of mashed drained prunes, roll the dough into a roll and cut in rounds; dust with sugar and bake in a slow oven. A prune omelet is one which the family will like. Stew, stone and mash the prunes, using a cupful, adding a little sugar if needed, spread over the omelet just before turning. Children's Supper Dish.—Rub through a sleeve one cupful of cooked prunes and the same quantity of cooked rice; add sugar to sweeten, if needed, a little grated lemon peel, an egg yolk beaten and thinned slightly with water; cook until well heated through. Serve with cream and sugar hot or cold. Prune Bread Pudding.—Butter slices of stale bread, cover with hot milk, add layers of stewed prunes and repeat until the dish is full. Bake in a moderate oven until well heated through. Serve with sauce prepared by cooking a pint of water and a tablespoonful of cornstarch mixed with two tablespoonfuls of sugar; when well cooked add a cupful of orange juice. A beaten egg may be added and cooked in the mixture, if a richer sauce is required. Prunes put through a sieve and added to the morning cereal is a good dish for the children. When making prune pies add one-third as many raisins as prunes and the flavor of the pie will be improved.

SAVORY ECONOMICAL MEAT DISHEG Those who possess an old-fashioned Scotch kettle may count themselves fortunate, for there is no utensil which cooks ment to such perfection as a tightly covered iron kettle with an iron cover. Meat cooked long and fortunate, for there is no utensil which cooks meat to such perfection as a tightly covered iron kettle with an iron cover. Meat cooked long and at a slow heat, tightly covered to confine all the flavor and juices, will taste so delicious and different that one will think he is eating some rare choice morsel. Oxtall Kettle Roast.—Take two or three oxtalls, wash and parboll for five minutes, wipe and roll in seasoned flour. Put one-half of a can of tomatoes in the iron kettle, lay the floured oxtall joints in and cover the top with finely chopped onion, turnip and carrot. Cover tightly and put in a slow oven and cook about four hours. Thicken the rich juice that is left and serve with mashed potatoes. Lamb Haricot.—Take three pounds of the breast of lamb or mutton, cut in squares, wipe and roll in seasoned flour. In the bottom of the kettle put a pint of dried Lima beans which have been soaked overnight. On top of the beans slice two small onions, then lay the meat on top of all. Bake three hours. Veal Savory.—Cut the meat from a veal soupbone in pieces twice the size of the finger. Place this meat on the bottom of a well-greased iron kettle. Into one-half cupful of boiling water grate one onion and one carrot. Season high with pepper and salt and pour over the meat. On top of this place a bay leaf. Lay the bone over this, sprinkle with flour and cover tightly. Set in a slow oven for three hours. When done remove the bone out of which the marrow has dripped over the meat. Serve with rice or mashed potatoes. Cut up a chicken as for frying, roll in flour and brown and then cook in an iron kettle until well done, adding a very little water from time to time. Chicken cooked in this way is tender and delicious. Cornish Pastry.—Take a pound of round steak, cut in half-inch dice, slice two to three onions and four to six potatoes. The amount of meat and vegetables will depend upon the family. "Sunset and evening star And one clear call for me, And may there be no moaning at the bar When I put out to sea." Clean paint brushes which have become stiff and dry by soaking them in hot vinegar. If shoes have a worn sole or are too thin slip a piece of wrapping paper cut to fit the sole into the shoe. This will keep the feet from burning and blistering. C A paste which will stick is made by boiling together one pint of flour, two tablespoonfuls of sugar and enough water to mix smoothly. Cook three minutes. A piece of sandpaper in the kitchen is a great help. Wrap it around a fruit jar and it can be grasped and held much easier when opening it. The belt of the sewing machine may be tightened by dropping on it a few drops of castor oil. Run the machine and the belt will tighten. Millinery wire covered with white is a good substitute for a small curtain rod. The looped end may be run in as a bodkin and then slipped over a hook. The other end is twisted and made taut over the other hook. Cane-seated chairs which have begun to sag may be tightened by saturating the cane with boiling water in which a tablespoonful of washing soda has been dissolved. Use one quart of water. When jelly becomes stirpy and refuses to jelly because too much sugar has been added, add a little cider vinegar. A rusty screw may be removed if heated very hot before turning it with the screw driver. Patterns found in oilcloth make fine models for patchwork quilts. When moths get into carpets: Use a damp cloth all around the edges, ironing with a hot iron. The steam will kill all moths and eggs. If one has to take disagreeable medicine it helps to hold a piece of je in the mouth a minute or two before taking. The cold dulls the sense of taste. If one carries a small needle book, thimble and thread with scissors in the apron pocket many stitches may be taken in time which will save much mending.

The Morning Post is London's oldest newspaper. On November 2, 1772 Rev. Sir Henry Bate-Dudley edited the first issue.

"Funny how things work out sometimes," said the married marine to a bunch of his buddies. "Two years ago I was going around with Ethel and Anna, and I couldn't for the irife of one tell which of the two I wanted to marry. One night I dropped into the post exchange to buy a cigar. Right on the cigar band, as large as life, it said, 'Hav-ana!'"—Leatherneck. Diamonds Split Asunder. That diamonds sometimes burst spontaneously is a belief dating back to the Middle ages, and still widely prevalent, though nobody seems to have actually witnessed this phenomenon.

Thus early in life, the little girl's education begins of dressing appropriately for the occasion. Designers are side and stream, tennis court and golf ground lure to sunshine and sport in the great outdoors. We are remaining true to our first love, the fabric hat. While straws have come in strong for millinery in general, when it comes to the sports hat, fabric remains the thought supreme, although many sports hats have straw facings. There is, however, exceptions to the rule in the straw body hats and in the new tagal straw hats cut out of large plaques, just the same as of a material by the yard.

The newest pattern shows these little frocks fall straight from the shoulder just as is shown in the dainty slip worn by the little girl whose curls are hidden under a huge fine black milan hat with very impressive ribbon streamers. A panel of red, green, yellow and blue smocking extends from the neck to the depth of six inches or more. It is said that the yoke effect is again in fashion. The sports hat's the thing!
