Colorado Statesman

THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY SOCIAL EQUALITY A CHIMERA SOCIAL EQUALITY A CHIMERA VOL. XXVIII. THE NEGRO with foresight is not seeking social equality. He realizes that, if such a social state ever obtains, American thought will have to go through a great transformation, and that the white race in this country will have received a baptism of tolerance that would transcend any recorded conversion in the history of the world. The Negro with vision is not found among those of his race, who are clamoring loudly for that thing which is chimerical, but is content with striving for what is far more beneficial—economic and educational equality, which are nearer at hand and practically within his reach. If social equality is the goal that the shouters are after, they are, indeed, going the wrong way about it, their methods but instilling deeper the inherent prejudice against such a condition. The black race has made great progress, and has achieved wonderful advancement in an extremely short period, the way time goes, but it cannot point to any rung of the ladder of progression that was reached in haste and without extended effort, or through a demonstration of hysteria, or by illogical reasoning or a veiled threat of action. The Negro's advancement has been due to his continuous effort to improve himself and, through his performance, soften the prejudice of the white man, from whom his demeanor elicited co-operation in more or less measure. It should be remembered that those Negroes who have gained distinction, have been frank in their relations with the white man, and asked nothing more than that they be accorded that degree of respect and appreciation which their highly developed faculties commanded. In his Birmingham speech in October, President Harding advocated the right of the American Negro to broader political, economic and educational advantages, based, as he put it, on a pride of race, but never on an inspiration of social equality. His enunciation of views on that occasion has been warmly applauded, and also vehemently criticised. One of his severest critics dwelt entirely upon the social equality stand the President took, and overlooked the other good thoughts expressed, and in his comment it was shown that the writer had his moral vision obscured. Belonging to that class that wants everything, and everything at once, his perception was blurred by his hysteria. Unfortunately, this critic dragged in the weather-beaten argument of the seduction of the women of his race by white men, as a reason for intermarriage of whites and blacks, and argued that the amalgamation of the races was the relief for this existing condition—if it does exist. This writer, who belongs to the blantant class of social equality advocates, knows, or should know, that seduction is prevalent among all races, and that the white man does not go outside of his race to employ his heinous wiles as much as he stays within. The degraded white man is no more zealous in his desire to defile negresses, than is the deprived black man to corrupt the chastity of white women. Seduction is entirely foreign to the subject. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House R THE ONLY RELIANCE COLORA TY A CHIMERA LY RELIABL ORA THE HIMERA Ad cia St But, mentioning seduction, does this commenter realize that the alleged practice to which he alludes has had more to do with encouraging the tendency toward race equality socially than any other factor, good or bad? The more white blood that is injected into the veins of the Negro race, the more dissatisfied do the results of this infusion become with their social status. It is the mulatto who is the most urgent agitator, as a rule, along the line so many of his brothers are misguidedly following. This fact puts seduction without the pale of argument. Equality in economics and education can be attained without social equality, and the Negro race will be more respected the longer it retains its consaguineous solidarity and its individuality. That is what President Harding meant by "pride of race." The Negro should be just as proud to retain his blood uncontaminated by the corpuscles of white, yellow, brown or red races, as is the white man to keep his inviolate. Mixed blood, as is seen every day, engenders strife and discontentment. "I would accept that a black man cannot be a white man," said President Harding in his Birmingham address to both white and colored citizens, "and that he does not need and should not aspire to be as much like a white man as possible, in order to accomplish the best that is possible for him. He should seek to be, and should be encouraged to be, the best possible black man, and not the best possible imitation of a white man." Imitation, which is said to be the sincerest flattery, is not what the Negro should practice. He should not flatter the white man. He should flatter himself. And to do that, he must strike out independently for the same goal in economic and educational endeavor, and attain it through his own initiative, his own resourcefulness and his own ability. He then will be commended for his achievements, and because he is a Negro and succeeded, will make his accomplishments greater. He should lay aside any desire for social equality, for the more he aspires to that plane, the more is his efficiency lessened because of his discontent. The Negro should bring himself to understand that, if there ever is such a status experienced by his people, centuries will have elapsed before the general racial complexion of American citizens is indicative of the acknowledged mixture of white and black blood.—Constructor. ELAINE RIOTERS. FACE TRIAL SECOND TIME. Little Rock, Ark., April 20.—Twice condemned to death by Phillips county courts and granted new trials by the Supreme Court, five men charged with killing a white man in the celebrated elaine riots will facet rial again in the next session of the court. The last new trial was granted on the ground that no colored men were summoned for jury service. The alleged riot resulted from the desire of colored farmers in the section to free themselves from ponage conditions. --- Advancement Association Receives Statement From Colored Clergyman Beaten in Winder, Georgia Case Called to Attention of Brit ish Ambassador, State Department and Department of Justice. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today announced the receipt of a statement from Rev. B. N. Henningham, beaten in the town of Winder, Georgia, on a charge of "preaching Catholicism" to the colored people there. Mr. Henningham's statement has been forwarded to the British ambassador in Washington, Sir Auckland Geddes, as Henningham is a citizen of the British West Indies; also to the United States Departments of State and of Justice. Mr. Henningham's statement follows: "Attack made upon Rev. B. N. Henningham, pastor of Bushes Chapel, A. M. E. Zion Church, located at Winder, Ga., by twelve or fourteen masked white men. "They came to a colored man's home by the name of Oscar Bergamy, where I, Rev. B. N. Henningham, was giving his elementary training, about 8 o'clock p. m., March 6th, 1922, seized me without a moment's warning; dragged me from the house bare-headed and placed me in an automobile and drove me about ten miles toward Gainesville, Ga. While on the way I asked them what I had done to be punished. They answered me by holding a pistol on me and slapping me in the face, stating, we will tell you what you have done. Your damn bishop came here preaching Catholicism and got away before we could get him. Then he sent you here with your Catholic doctrine and educating these damn Negroes, making them worse. When we get through with you your bishop and no one else will come here preaching that damn Catholic stuff. "When they reached about the ten mile point they took me out of the automobile and carried me into the woods, stripped me of my pants, placed me over a log and beat me with something like a leather strop." Buys Farm With Tips Chicago, Ill., April 26.—William Taylor Johnston, a railroad porter on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, has bought a $100,000 farm near Manoke, Minn., with his tips. Urges U. S. Loan to Liberia Washington, D. C., April 26.—The United States is morally obligated to keep its promise of extending five million dollars credit to Liberia and must make the loan or suffer a lamentable loss of respect before the eyes of the world, Secretary Hughes told the House ways and means committee last Thursday afternoon. By a vote of 13 to 9 the resolution was favorably reported out. It is known as the Fordney resolution. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 29 1922 Vice President Coolidge Grants Audience to N. A. A. C.

The delegation will present a petition to the United States Senate, signed by twenty-four state governors, thirty-five mayors of large cities, Catholic archbishops and churchmen of all denominations, urging prompt enactment by the Senate of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, H. B. 13, already passed by the House of Representatives. The petition bearing 300 signatures obtained by the N. A. A. C. P., is being presented to Vice President Coolidge in his capacity of presiding officer over the United States Senate. Tuskegee's Trustee Chairman Disagrees With "Birthright" Author Tuskegee Institute, Ala., April 27.—"Few Negroes in real life have blundered as Peter Siner did," said William G. Willcox, chairman of the board of trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, in a recent letter to T. S. Stribling, the author of the novel "Birthright," which ran serially in the Century Magazine and now appears in book form. Mr. Willcox's letter to Mr. Stribling is as follows: I have just read the "Birthright" with much interest and I am tempted to ask if you had any definite object in writing it. The description of conditions at "Niggertown" is a vivid picture of the aftermath of slavery. It is, as I suppose you intended, a description of conditions which existed in the worst sections of the South and which confronted anyone who sought to educate or improve the Negro people. Unfortunately such conditions are not confined to any race or section and it would not be difficult to find similar pictures among the white immigrants and factory operators in the North. Such pictures do not indicate the character of capacity of the race as a whole but rather the morbid conditions resulting from the environment of a particular group. Peter Siner represents a weak man who has been given a college course without any solid foundation either in education or in moral character. His dismal failure furnishes a strong endorsement of Booker Washington's theory that Negro_education must begin with fundamental training of the hand, the mind and the character and build from the ground up. Few Negroes in real life have blundered as Peter did while thousands trained at Tuskegee and other schools are today making good in all sections of the country. The general effect of the book seems to me to discourage the effort to educate and elevate the Negro race. I cannot believe this to be your intention and I am sure that the facts do not at all warrant any such disheartening picture. A Negro to France (From the New York Globe.) We have heard much in recent years of the young American intellectual who is a voluntary expatriate because he finds the civilization of the old world so much more to his taste than shirt-sleeved, coarse, and pioneering America. In L'Opinion, Paris, a letter was published the other day from one of these young men, who, it must be confessed, is a somewhat unusual specimen. His name is Norval Barksdale, he comes from Kansas City, and he is a Negro. The chief attraction of France for him is the failure to draw the color line. His letter (as translated by the Living Age, Boston) says in part: "People of France, pause a moment to hear the words of a young man—an American by birth, but a Negro by race, but a Frenchman by choice. I am convinced that the colored peoples are to find their salvation in French civilization rather than in German culture—that is to say, the culture of the Germans, the English and the Americans. "French civilization produced Toussaint, L'Ouverture, Alexander Dumas, Rene Maran, and a host of other French writers and scholars who had colored blood in their veins. Among the Teutonic nations men of colored blood, no matter how gifted and cultivated, encounter nothing but obstacles and discouragements. I regret the Negro of France. He knows true liberty; he knows what it is to live." More than one American Negro has found in France the quality of treatment he can never dream to get in the United States. During the war there were grave apprehensions in some quarters lest our Negro troops, returning home after being treated by the French exactly as though they were white, should resent violently the American attitude. That these fears proved groundless is due to the good sense of the colored soldiers, and not to any alteration of white America's point of view. It is the fashion to say that France treats black men as she does because she has never had to live in close contact with a large colored population. This situation is being modified at least to a degree. France calls to the colors about 250,000 Negro soldiers each year, according to recent reports. The same number are annually released from service, and of these approximately 80,000 remain in France. It will be interesting to see whether, as this process goes on through the marriage of these soldiers to French women numerous half-breeds appear, the French attitude of tolerance gives way to a feeling more like our own. In that case Mr. Barkksdale will have to move on to some other country where numbers of his race are still rare enough or independent enough to receive courteous treatment. Fire in Provident Mission Building Pittsburgh, Pa., April 28.—Fire last Monday night partly destroyed the three-story brick building in Fullerton street, owned by the Kingsley estate and leased by the Baptist Home Mission Board, but unoccupied at the time. The blaze is said to have started in the cellar and gradually worked up to the roof, virtually destroying the entire interior of the building. NO 28 Jury Frees Peter Smith, Held on Slaying Charge— Widow of Slain Man Indicted for Murder. Deland, Fla., April 27.—Peter Smith, charged with murder in connection with the death of Wm. A. Shields, white, formerly of Moline, Ill., was released from jail here Wednesday; the Volusia county grand jury reporting it could not find a true bill. Mrs. Alice E. Shields, widow of the slain man, was indicted for murder in the first degree for the crime. The true bill charges her with having "aided, abetted, hired, procured or counseled" the unidentified person who killed Shields. School Attendance Is Reported Falling Off in Texas. Schulenburg, Tex., April 27.—The scholastic census for Schulenburg independent district for 1922-23 is 363 white and 175 Negro children. This is an increase of twenty white and a decrease of fifteen Negro children over last year. The figures were compiled by E. W. Kehln. Man Kills Wife and Self While on Train. Beaumont, Tex.. April 28.—While coming to this city last Monday night on a Santa Fé passenger train from Newton county, Samuel Samson shot and killed his wife who was seated beside him and then placed the gun to his temple and killed himself before other passengers in the coach could reach him. Insanity is thought to be the cause for Samson's act. The bodies were brought here. Samson formerly lived in Beaumont. COL. LINK JOHNSON WILL NOT RESIGN. Republican Committeeman States His Stand on Georgia Politics. Atlanta, Ga., April 27.—Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Republican national committeeman from Georgia, who came here to attend a political meeting, emphatically denied that he was going to resign as national committeeman and declared untrue the charge that he was trying to "Africanize the party in Georgia." "All we ask is some little show, some recognition," he said. TUSKEGEE FINANCIAL AGENT VISITS PITTSBURGH.

Wireless messages received by the American legation at Peking from Canton said the expedition of Sun Yat Sen, head of the Canton government, against Gen. Wu Pel Fu, commander of central Chinese forces, has been abandoned definitely. Soviet Russia contributed another sensation to the economic conference by sending a note to the Polish delegation remonstrating against Poland's action in joining with the allied powers in protest against a separate treaty between Russia and Germany. Charley Ledoux, the French bantamweight pugilist, recently won the bantamweight championship of England by defeating Thomas Harrison on points in a fifteen-round bout at Liverpool. The Englishman was floored twice in both the first and second rounds, and also was knocked down several times in later rounds. Advices from Salonliki, Greece, report grant loss of life at Monastir as a result of an explosion of war material stored 200 meters from the Monastir railway station.

The alleged offense took place Jan. 16, she charges. Eleven persons were drowned, at least 1,500 made homeless, the city water plant put out of commission, other public utilities endangered, property damage of $600,000 inflicted, all interurban traffic was suspended and street car service crippled as a result of a storm, the most terrific that ever visited Fort Worth and vicinity. A general order directed specifically against the Ku Klux Klan and declaring that there is no room in the Oklahoma National Guard for any officer or man who owes allegiance to any power, secret organization or society that might become arrayed against the United States or the state of Oklahoma and its laws has been issued in Oklahoma City by Gov. J B. A. Robertson. Adopting the methods of Jesse James and Cole Younger, two highwaymen rode into Leadhill, Ark., robbed the bank of $8,000 in Liberty bonds and $2,000 in cash and rode off. The gunmen who had tied their horses near the bank, forced the cashier and assistant cashier to accompany them to their mounts. Mary Garden has announced her retirement as director general of she Chicago Opera Company, a position which she has held for the past year. "I am an artist, and I have decided that my place is with the artists, not over them," she declared in a statement which was taken as an indication that she would remain with the organization as a singer. The best long distance runner in the country eleven years ago proved himself the best again when Clarence H. De Mar of Melrose raced home a winner for the second time of the Boston Athletic Association's annual American marathon road race.

The coroner's jury which inquired into the facts surrounding the killing of Constable M. B. Mosher, slain by another officer while the constable was participating in a raid of masked men, returned a verdict that Mosher came to his death while a member of a masked mob "presumably instigated and directed by members of the Ku Klux Klan." Once more the wheel of fate has turned and Juanita Miller, daughter of the late Joaquin Miller, eccentric "Poet of the Sierras," has entered still another cycle of her life.

WASHINGTON Manufacturers are required to use trade names and labels which will convey to the purchasing public an accurate description of the materials or ingredients composing their products, the Supreme Court decided in a case brought by the Federal Trade Commission against the Winsted Hosiery Company. Large expenditures will be necessary to bring the 2,500,000 miles of rural highways in the United States up to the standard of efficiency comparable to their extended use in motor transportation, in the opinion of the joint congressional commission of agricultural inquiry, whose general conclusions on the subject were announced recently by Chairman Anderson. The gross wealth produced by farmers in 1921 had a value of $12,366,000,000, or about two-thirds of the aggregate value of the farm products of 1920, and little more than one-half the aggregate for 1919, the Department of Agriculture has estimated. During the same period, 1919-21, production of ten crops, which represent about 95 per cent of the total crop acreage, fell 8 per cent. The United States "with adequate military preparation and under strong leadership" could have prevented the occurrence of the World war, General Pershing declared in testifying before the Senate military committee in behalf of the War Department's plan for an increase in the military establishment over that proposed by the House. Plans for the erection in Washington of a building to cost $1,300,000 as the home of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Research Council and a center for American science in all its fields were announced by Dr. C.

Fort Collins.—Preparations are being made for the convention of the state Parent-Teacher Association, to be held here May 3 to 6. It is expected that 300 delegates from ten counties will attend. Montrose.—J. S. Hooper sank to the floor dead at the meeting of the Delta Lions Club as he was about to begin a speech. Mr. Hooper was chairman of the good fellowship committee of the club and was introduced to do a "stunt." Pueblo.—A 225-foot bridge on the Loma branch of the Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad, seventeen miles southwest of Walsenburg, was blown up recently by a heavy charge of explosive, it was announced at headquarters of the railroad here. Durango.—William L. Wood, 35 years old, city editor of the Durango Herald, was shot to death by Rod S. Day, editor and manager of the Durango Democrat, as the climax of a bitter newspaper feud between the rival editors that recently had resolved itself into alleged personal slander. Delta.—While engaged in what said was a friendly scuffle, Felix Martinez, 16 years old, shot and fatally wounded Freddie Lucero, 15 years old. The bullet entered the boy's abdomen and he died shortly afterward at the Delta hospital. The parents of both boys are tending beets on a ranch eight miles from Delta. Colorado Springs.—Burglar's broke open the safe of Swift & Co., 109 Colorado avenue, and escaped with $60 in cash and several thousand dollars' worth of bonds. Sledgehammers evidently were used to demolish the lock. After the robbery the safecrackers stole a Ford car, drove to the outskirts of the city and abandoned the machine there. Pueblo.-3. Simms, superintendent of highway construction in the San Isabell national forest, has put gangs of men at work building the last stretch of the scenic Squirrel Creek Cañon highway above Beulah, in the Greenhorn mountains. The highway, which is being blasted out of the side of the mountains in many places, will open a hitherto inaccessible region. Denver.—The April sale of state school lands, held in the office of the State Board of Land Commissioners, state capitol, was the largest in over eighteen months. Three thousand seven hundred and six acres were sold for a total purchase price of $98,829.65, and an average price per acre of $26.66.

Cañon City.—State officials have decided to detail prison labor to the mining of coal if the fuel supply at the penitentiary, state asylum and other state institutions runs low on account of the nation-wide coal strike. This information was given by Adj. Gen. P. J. Hamrock and prison authorities recently. The plan to be followed in the event of an emergency would be similar to that employed during the strike here in 1913, when the prison labor was assigned to work No. 5 and other mines near Cañon City. Denver.—The Colorado Poultry Producers' Association held an educational meeting in the Chamber of Commerce building here. Professor Jamison of the Colorado Agricultural College discussed "General Poultry Conditions of Colorado."

CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS. Denver.—Colorado farmers now intend to plant at least 4,000 acres more to potatoes this year than last, according to reports for April 1, issued by the United States bureau of markets and crop estimates, through the federal state crop reporting service. This is about a 4 per cent increase over last year, and would mean the planting of about 110,000 acres in the state as compared with 106,000 acres estimated as the area put into the ground last year. Colorado Springs.-The last link in the improvement of the highway between Colorado Springs and Limon, ten miles long, will be constructed this summer, according to the federal bureau of public roads, at a cost of $76,000. The project statement was forwarded to the bureau by the State Highway Department. A sand clay surface will be laid. The government will pay 56.12 per cent of the cost, the state of Colorado standing the balance. Sterling.—Two young women and one man were arrested at Nelich, Neb., charged with being concerned in the murder of John Larson, 70 years old, a farmer, whose body was found concealed under a pile of hay at his farm near Crook. Lawrence Sturbaum, former renter on the Larsen farm, his wife and his wife's sister, Ida Willoughby, are the three arrested. They were going east in their wagon when overtaken by the officers in Nebraska. Fort Collins.-Fort Collins this year will make a strong bid for the tourist traffic of the Rocky Mountain region. Besides considerable advertising and the distribution of information about the city and its attractions, Secretary J. W. Ruiney of the Chamber of Commerce has on foot plans for the enlargement and improvement of the city camping ground here and for the building up of the city's mountain park, thirty-six miles up the Poudre river. Victor.—An unusually rich strike, virtually at grass roots, has been made on the American Eagle's mine on Bull hill by Leasers Klopfenstein and Phillips. Ore is being taken out which runs from seven to ten ounces to the ton. The leasers are making preparations to develop the vein extensively and will sink the shaft to a depth of 100 feet, in all probabilities. The American Eagle's mine is owned by the Stratton estate. Loveland.—Loveland has perhaps the first company to ask an exclusive franchise on the broadcasting of news by radio that has been started in the state as a commercial proposition. Reed Hayward of the boys' band, has asked the city council to grant a company he is organizing the exclusive franchise to operate a sending station inside the city, offering the city a per cent of the receipts from the operations of the company. Buena Vista.—Although the operation of its twenty-nine-mile branch line between Buena Vista and Romley in Chaffee county, Colo., has resulted in continuous losses to the Colorado & Southern railroad during the last five years, recommendation was made to the Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington by an examiner that the road's application to abandon it be denied. Denver.—Announcement has been made by the American Smelting and Refining Company that it will expend $750,000 immediately for the reviving of mining in Colorado. The announcement came following a meeting of the directors of the Colorado Meta'. Mining fund, the Colorado Metal Mining Association and the Colorado chapter of the American Mining Congress. Fort Collins.—The 1922 Colorado Agricultural College debating team has returned after what is believed the longest and most successful tour ever undertaken by a college. In a three weeks' trip, through Mississippi valley and eastern states, the Aggles won twelve debates, losing put two. Pueblo—G. Holdman and T. Baldwin, both of Chicago, were arrested by railroad detectives here on warrants charging them with swindling business men of Rocky Ford and La Junta, Colo., out of more than $10,000 in the sale of bogus stock. Two other men, alleged to be accomplices of Holdman and Baldwin, were arrested by the sheriff at Rocky Ford, according to word received here. Golden.—Commencement exercises at the Colorado School of Mines, which mark the close of the school year, are fixed for Friday, May 19, with President Howard M. Raymond of the Armour Institute, Chicago, as the orator of the day. President Raymond is an educator of national reputation and ranks among the very best in the department of physics. Suit for $9,188,561.98 will be entered in Detroit Federal Court by the United States government against the bankrupt Lincoln Motor Company, which brought $8,000,000 at a receiver's sale recently. The government claims the amount asked in the suit was the sum on which the Lincoln Motors was overpaid on war contracts. Denver.—The State Senate passed the Peterson conservancy bill, the so-called majority Pueblo flood prevention measure, on final reading by a vote of 24 to 2. This virtually completes the work of the Senate for the special session of the Assembly. But for the fact that the conservancy bill and the Moffat tunnel district bill, approved on third and final reading may be amended in the House of Representatives, thus compelling the Senate to consider the amendments, the upper house could have adjourned sine die.

Oftentimes it is employed by some rabid propogandist as a weapon of justification in defining a "fixed place" for the Negro. It is raised as an apparition of fear, having no real existence and serving no useful purpose. Little thought is given to the fact that no one wants it, least of all the Negro, and that in seeking broader political, economic and educational advantages, he is prompted by a jealous regard for racial entity more than from any other consideration. The Negro cannot and will not admit that there is a fixed status for him in these elements and he but seeks their attainment, not to break racial ties, but to strengthen them. We are being imbued today with the very best of American thought and lofty purposes in order to prove our right to the full enjoyment of those blessings supposedly granted to every citizen of our common country. We hold as sacredly to the inviolability of our homes and its virtues as any other race. Were we called upon as a witness today we could truthfully aver that we know of no Negro leader, worthy of the name, who would debauch his own race by a senseless clamoring for what is commonly meant by SOCIAL EQUALITY. There is, however, an insistent demand arising from pulpit and press and from leaders in political and civic movements for an unhampered place in the world's sun, unshackled and unfettered. We could not accept less and be men. It is high time that the Negro gave full thought to just what the white man means by his bogey of social equality, though it would be easier of analysis if it possessed the merit of sincerity. We are approaching campaign times and the white man will need votes. He will enter your home to attend a parlor political meeting, make flattering speeches and eat ice cream and cake with evident relish, and yet walk out of a restaurant if you should happen to enter it and take a seat at a table thirty feet away the next day after election. He has a smile and hearty hand-shake for you every time he meets you during the campaign, but will stand up in a street car rather than sit by one of our group after the votes are counted. He will take your money in a grocery store or clothing shop, but scruple violently if you buy a home in his neighborhood. These things do not mean nor make for sociay equality in any sense, but the hue and cry is necessary to conceal a more vicious principle. Let the dominant group consult our aims, ambitions and aspirations with perfect fairness rather than play up his own fancies and prejudices. They will find us leading to the marriage altar one of our own, rearing children by one of our own, for whom we seek educational equality and economic opportunity. True, we feel our importance as citizens and consider ourselves a link in the chain of American civilization. We are not content to occupy lowly places that would be willingly assigned us, but aspire to the very highest and best that our country affords. And from no reason will we admit that color is a badge of inferiority or a bar to ambition. Definite progress and true citizenship cannot be attained by standing in a given place and waiting for the morsels to be handed out by those who claim superiority of right. What of our political rights? If we vote for the creation of government and the establishment of courts, we have a right to expect to share in the fruits of that government and have at all times the full protection of its courts. And there can be no just government where there is a denial or abridgement of these rights in any sense. Our educational, social and economic rights are equally predicated upon an impartial application of the principles of government. And these followed to their final analysis cannot by any stretch of imagination lead to social equality. In fact there is no such possibility within the realm of our government, and any argument to that effect is but a vain attempt to build a vast channel house of sepulchural ghastliness wherein the gaunt specter of race prejudice may stalk in perfect freedom and in sullen defiance. It is erected directly across our pathway, surrounded with the jack-o'lanterns of despair, in the hope that we may be frightened in our effort to reach the goal of full citizenship, an attainment only possible through consecrated effort and eternal vigilance. WHEN GREEK MEETS GREEK. SOMEBODY blundered in Los Angeles, Cal., the other night, someone pulled a serious "boner," and as a result one of the reigning sultans of the "invisible empire" lies cold in the morgue and two others had their hides punctured with well-directed bullets from the gun of a night marshal. It was the best piece of single-handed work an officer of the law has pulled off in this country in many moons. The fact the deputy marshal was alone while arrayed against a mob of 200 brave—yes, very brave (?)-Klansmen and that he came out victorious is surely significant within itself. But the further fact that the first man to fall mortally wounded when the marshal opened fire was a fellow officer, equally sworn to uphold the laws and preserve the peace, certainly serves a valuable purpose. And there is something more than the mere element of chance in the added fact that of the three men wounded, all were officers and members of the Klan mob. Certainly this is a condition sufficient to cause men to think, and Los Angeles seems thoroughly aroused over the incident. The district attorney seems in earnest and promises a sweeping investigation. The sheriff seems equally determined and has demanded the resignation of all deputies who claim Klan allegiance. As a result of the fearless attitude of these two public officials, the grand goblins and kleegles and wizards, etc., are rushing into the open and declaring they had nothing whatever to do with the raid. The truth of the matter is that the "invisible empire" made the mistake of becoming visible before the wrong man; they encountered an officer who held a high conception of his responsibilities to the public, and one who could discern nothing of governmental majesty in a "hooded band of outlaws and cowards." And at this moment would it not be well to reflect that American cities and commonwealths seem to be waking up fully to the serious menace offered the peace and security of the country by the presence of the Ku Klux Klan? The governor of Louisiana, the mayor of Kansas City, the attorney general of Colorado; the public officials in several California cities have stated that the Klan could have no place in their midst. And public indignation and resentment will continue to rise as time goes on, until eventually no self-respecting citizen will allow his name to attach to the organization. It becomes evident, then, that the public does not take seriously to the Klan's professions of superior vision and purity in the matter of lah enforcement and morals, as they are the objects of grand jury investigation in many parts of the country, and grand juries mainly delve into criminal conditions. The Ku Klux Klan cannot stand as a corrective body, either aiding or surmounting the courts. The reins of government—of this government, at least—will never be turned over to a body of men who gain their knowledge of righteous government by meeting in ravines, canons, dark halls and forests. In view of the wave of indignation aroused over the Los Angeles tragedy it is not too much to hope that the beginning of the end of Kluxism is in sight. Perhaps, after all, Marshal Woerner fired another shot that will be "heard around the world." By E. PHILLIPS OPPENHEIM, in New York Herald. It is beyond my small power to comprehend the reason for the derogatory attitude of a modern world toward the modern girl. I think the modern girl is worth a dozen of her long-skirted, long-faced, pale-lipped sisters of the straitlaced strata. BENNETH H. BURKE I am for her! I vote for her every time. I think she is charming. I think, as you Americans say, that she is a peach, a pippin! She is piquante. She is alluring. She is more modest in her frank, self-confident way than the rather silly young female who held the center of the stage in the reign of Victoria. Girls are just as nice today as ever they were in any period of the world's history—just as modest—and a blessed sight more sensible; more able to take care of themselves. It's asinine to go along on the assumption that women don't know anything, that they are giddy innocents. The girls of Victoria's time knew about all there was to know, I fancy, but they were guilty of a peculiar kind of hypocrisy and deception in pretending invariably to be stupidly unaware of the commonest facts of life, and of making a face over even the accidental revelation of an inch of ankle. How silly it all was! Modesty is a grace of the soul, not an advertisement of the dress-makers. I see not the slightest reason why a girl who clips her tresses, vermilions her lips, wears her skirts to the knee and powders her little nose whenever she jolly well pleases cannot be as pure at heart and as sweetly souled as Jeanne d'Arc. The bobbed-haired girl, the lip-rouged girl that I left behind me, but that meets me here again in the New York I had not seen for eleven years, is the girl of the times. I salute her. I shall make her a heroine of mine. It may be that in my seventy-first novel she will reign supreme, a new portrait in the long gallery of the lovely ladies of my fancy. And she will not be the least lovely in that somewhat crowded gallery. ```markdown ``` Safe Airships Must Have Non-Inflammable Gas or Bags That Won't Burn Disasters like the Roma are sad blows in the human lives they cost. But they do not condemn the airship as impractical. To make the airship entirely safe from fire it is necessary to use either a non-inflammable gas like helium, or have a gas bag that won't burn. I do not believe helium will be available for commercial use in the present generation, because it is so rare and so expensive to purify. It costs fully 100 times as much as the hydrogen gas now used. Moreover, it weighs twice as much as hydrogen and is deficient in lifting power. Its only known source of quantity supply is from natural gas by liquefaction and distillation. Hydrogen is safe enough if a non-inflammable envelope is used. Asbestos is not strong enough. No fabric can be fireproofed thoroughly by any process yet discovered. A metal envelope seems the only practical thing. But it has not been sufficiently developed. The gasoline used as fuel is even more dangerous than the hydrogen in the gas bag. Experiments are being made with kerosene or still heavier oil as fuel. This would avoid the danger of vaporized gasoline. Teach the Child to Dance and When He Is Grown Up He Will Not Jazz "Train up the child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." This might be changed to read, "Teach a child to dance and when he is old he will not jazz." I have attempted to dance the American style of jazz, but only a few times. As you Americans would say, I could never see anything in it. I guess the reason is that I was reared in a different atmosphere. In Russia we were taught the classic dancing and music that I interpret on the stage. The schools in Russia have a course in dancing that is as important as reading and writing. Children are taught ballroom dancing from the start, and as time goes on they embrace the ideals of their instructors; the love of beautiful music, perfect poise and graceful carriage. And there is the awful music, the crash of drums, the moaning of horns and the other things that go to make up jazz music. We can see no melody or harmony in that music. Teach the young people of the country the ballroom dancing. Start them young. When they are old enough to go to dances they will love the beautiful and graceful movements and jazz will be distasteful to them. Packingtown Does Not Set the Fashion for Gold Coast, but Vice Versa By RABBI S. WISE of New York The theater in America will be subjected to the most rigid censorship, and that soon, unless it institutes immediate, drastic reforms. Either the theater will cleanse itself, and at the earliest possible moment, or we will rule it with the rod of censorship. This is true alike of the spoken drama and the motion picture play. The theater, at its best, is one of the great institutions of society. At its worst, the theater is in danger of becoming such a menace to health as is the cesspool and its putrescent sewage, and that menace is now present in some of the vile things that are being perpetrated in New York. It must be done for the sake of the young, for unfortunately society is suffering today because of its acceptance of the maxim that youth must and will have its fling. Some women have no sense of fitness and modesty, and only they can compete who are ready to be still more vulgar. As a consequence so-called society comes to be in no small part a matter of competition in semi-nudity and all that this means. Packingtown does not set the fashion for the gold cost, but the gold coast does set the fashion for those back of the yards and others like them. Inefable mischief is therefore wrought by those at the top of the social ladder; the evil does not come from the bottom.

Pueblo has no colored physician and is a good field for a colored physician. Many of the citizens of Pueblo have importuned Dr. Lee to locate there. Dr. Lee had built up an excellent practice in Denver, and his many friends in Denver regret to give him up and wish him unbounded success. He will be located in the Golden West Hotel at Pueblo.

Let every member come out and give his views and support in behalf of this great effort. THE GAME IS ON. Great Contest to Be Staged Sunday Between "The Hoodoo's" and "Roy's Colts." The big baseball classic to be pulled off Sunday morning is the real talk of the town. No one event in recent years has attracted so much attention as this great game. Both teams are on their mettle and like two giant armies, are resting upon their arms awaiting the hour of battle. The Bon Viviant Warriors, more appropriately called "Roy's Colts" because of the frisky manner in which they scampered over the diamond in the practice game of last Sunday, contend that they have a complete jinx on the "Thirteen" boys and that henceforth they will be known as the "Hoodoos." It is said that "Gink" Clemmons, noted spitball artist, and Dick Allen are rounding into championship form and also that Tommy McClain and Alf Sugg will show great "shape" Sunday morning when the bugle calls to arms. No doubt a large crowd will witness the contest as its counter part has never before been pulled off in Denver at Thirty-second and Humboldt streets. U. N. I. A. The Denver Division No. 118 will hold its regular Sunday afternoon meeting tomorrow at 3:30 o'clock at its new quarters, 2807 Welton street. A cordial invitation is extended the public to attend these meetings so that they may receive correct information of this great world movement as presented by the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Announcements relative to the coming convention in New York will be given. Members are urged to be loyal to this cause which is the most logical solution of our problem. BUSINESS MEN FAVOR Y. M. C. A. FOR NEGRO. The project of a building for the Negro Y. M. C. A. was discussed favorably at a luncheon in the Shirley-Savoy hotel, at which thirty-five Denver men active in business and civic betterment were the guests of Charles A. Johnson. Although no definite action was taken, enthusiasm for the undertaking was shown. "The colored boy hasn't any place but the street for his amusement," said Mr. Johnson, in bringing up the matter. A lively discussion followed, during which three colored men explained the present social condition of the Negroes of Denver. The colored organization owns the plot of ground at Twenty-eighth avenue and Glenarm place, upon which is a small structure now housing their Y. M. C. A. That unit and the central Y. M. C. A desire to erect an adequate building with baths, gymnasium, reading rooms, dormitories and the usual features of the buildings of the association. Mr. Johnson estimated that the cost will be $60,000. It would seem that at last our hope of years is to be realized. Messrs. Wm. Parks, Harry Townsend and Secretary T. J. Bell attended this meeting and are in high glee over the prospects. SPECIAL SESSION CLOSES. By the time the COLORADO STATESMAN reaches its readers this week the special session of the Twenty-third General Assembly will no doubt have ended its labors. It has been a history-making body from the very first and by closing this week will have established a record for brevity in the consideration of important public measures. The Moffatt tunnel bill and Pueblo flood prevention act are certain to have a wonderful effect upon Colorado's future development. We can now build with greater security and confidence than ever before. The legislative body has done well in thus providing for our state's future. However, there is something of pathos in the passing of this special. Many of the present body will be retired from public life at the election this fall. The ordinary transition of life will exact its toll as certainly in this regard as in any other transaction of life. An official family of earnest, conscientious men and women who, whatever their faults, held the interests of Colorado dear to their heart of hearts, will be broken up. The good-byes and farewells will leave a strange, lingering note of regret that can only be effaced by the healing grace of time. The COLORADO STATESMAN implores the blessings of Providence upon each and every one of our legislators, for whatever may be the final verdict as to the value of their contribution to the public service and weal, we are convinced that they "have built as they knew."

In presenting Bishop Meade at Shorter Church Wednesday night in his famous lecture, "Frederick Douglass, the Bronze Knight of the Nineteenth Century," the Denver Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People offered a treat to our citizens that seldom comes to us. The inclement weather proved a serious handicap, but a good-sized crowd was on hand to greet the bishop and Attorney General Victor E. Keyes, who spoke briefly on "American Ideals in Government." The meeting was a part of the 1922 membership campaign and it proved a highly interesting affair. Bishop Meade's lecture was a veritable historical and national treat. He traced the life of Douglass from his humble birth to his triumph as a free man, statesman and diplomat. We sincerely wish it could have been heard by every Negro citizen in Denver, and especially by our young people as a valuable lesson of history. Attorney General Victor E. Keyes appeared for the first time before a colored audience in Denver, and as the author of the now famous opinion denying the right of the Ku Klux Klan to incorporate in Colorado, his remarks were given hearty response. It was a great meeting and had it been a clear night the church would not have held the crowd. Officers in charges of the drive report encouraging progress though it is noted that our white friends are more generous in their response than the Negro himself. We wonder if it is to be another case of "Let George do it," though we are the ones most benefited by the achievements of this great organization. The Local Branch in its drive now on for new members reports 119 new members, $250 in memberships, and $49 in subscriptions to the Crisis. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. A splendid crowd came out last Sunday afternoon to hear the address of Secretary of State Carl S. Milliken. It was N. A. A. C. P. day, and he spoke on "The Value of Organization." He deplored the fact that any class of citizens should feel it necessary in this day and time to organize themselves to fight for their rights, but he feared that until human nature changed from what it now is, such will be the case. He strongly recommended the passage of the Dyer anti-lynching bill, condemned the Ku Klux Klan and declared for law and order and justice to all classes of citizens, Mr. Gross, Mrs. Westbrook and Mrs. Barbee were present as representatives of the N. A. A. C. P. Plans are now being made for the big circus, which is to be pulled off on May 17th. Applications are coming in every day from persons wishing to take part in the affair. Watch the NOTES next week—something good is coming. Watch! The regular monthly joint meeting of the Y. M. and the Y. W. C. A. will be held tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon at the Scott M. E. Church. The Rev. Dr. W. H. Young, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., will be the speaker. A splendid musical feature also. The meeting will begin promptly at 4 o'clock. All are asked to attend. C. M. E. CHURCH NOTES. Rev. C. E. Chapman, Minister; Residence, 2926 Glenarm Place; Phone Champa 4879. Services are being held every Sunday at the colored Y. M. C.

When Mr. Arthur G.

In consequence, when the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People sent out its appeal for membership a few weeks ago, Mr. Newsome proceeded to place Akron on honor roll by raising the sum of $26.50, which was remitted to Mrs. Mildred Westbrook, colonel in charge of the Denver Branch drive. It was a remarkable evidence of loyalty on the part of citizens in the small city of Akron and takes high rank with Sterling, the city that contributed $50 the week before. SHORTER CHAPEL NOTES.

Haugdahl claims he can travel 175 miles an hour in his car. MAKING SPRINGS RIDE VERY EASY Most of Them Are Either Too Stiff or Too Soft and Either Is Uncomfortable. LUBRICATION OFTEN BLAMED Indiscriminate Advice May Be Worse Than Useless as No Two Sets Are Alike—Intelligent Attention Is Big Need. Automobiles may be divided into two classes, those with springs that are too stiff and those that are too soft. Either can be very uncomfortable. "Here and there, of course, there is a car with springs that really spring without springing the occupants of the car against the top," writes an expert. Automobile instruction books, car experts and all the wiseacres of the fraternity advise one to lubricate the springs regularly. If the springs need it, that is very good advice, but it sometimes happens that the lubrication is the very last thing that the springs need. If you could work a little rust or gummed oil between the spring leaves and thus retard the spring action, it might be endurable. Of course, this is when the springs are too soft and spring too much. Indiscriminate advice as to the care of springs may be worse than useless. No two sets of springs require the same medicine. Therefore, before following anyone's advice to lubricate the springs it were well to discover whether they need it. Soft Springs Yield Easily. Soft springs, so flexible that they yield easily to road unevenness, are inclined to compress too readily when they drop into a hole or hit a bump. They fly back into normal position, sag down again and after a while cease vibrating. Meanwhile you are bouncing around like a rubber ball. Now to oil such a spring merely intensifies all this. You do not need the exercise acquired by the olling process. You will get all you need riding in the car without it. Such a spring needs friction between the leaves rather than lubrication. Friction slows the motion of the spring and steadies the car. Now, almost every one will tell you that friction between the leaves makes the car ride hard. Probably the first time you heard anyone say this and thought your car was not particularly easy you oiled the springs and went from the frying pan into the fire. However, this complaint is not as general as that where the springs, utterly neglected and rusted together, have lost a large part of their resiliency, so that the car rides like a farm wagon. In such a case lubricating the spring leaves is the greatest aid to comfort. A quarter's worth of graphite grease and a liberal quantity of elbow grease works wonders for a stiff spring. Intellident Attention Needed. Springs really do need a great deal of attention, if it be intelligent attention. They should be taken apart at least twice a year and cleaned and lubricated well. There may be obtained lubrication inserts to go between the leaves of the springs, which usually last for the life of the car. If the springs have been well designed they will not need extra attachments to make the car ride easily, but a seven-passenger car will not ride as easily with two persons as with its normal load. The point where the springs are attached to the body and the suspension point on the axle or frame need frequent inspection and lubrication regularly at the points indicated in the car instruction book. Spring shackles will wear quickly unless lubricated, rendering a breakdown much more likely. LACK OF OIL RUINS STARTER Lack of Lubrication May Cause Bearings to Become Dry, Overheat and Finally Seize. A starting motor in good condition will respond instantly whenever it is desired to crank the engine, and will continue efficiently the cranking operation as long as it receives current from the battery. Lack of attention, however, especially in regard to lubrication, may cause bearings of the starter to become dry, overheat and finally seize. This trouble may not be noticeable during a previous use, but on attempting to again crank the engine the starter refuses to revolve. No amount of pressure on the switch button will move the starter armature until the bearing has been cooled and properly lubricated. These bearings require but little oil, but should receive a definite amount regularly. PLAN FOR LOCKING NEW CAR By Removing Distributor Arm of Ignition System Owner Can Prevent Robbery. Many modern cars are fitted with a battery ignition system in which the distributor arm is removable. By removing this arm the car owner makes it possible to steal his vehicle only by towing it away or by fitting another distributing arm. The arm may be removed simply by unclasping the distribution cover to which wires are attached. It usually happens that there is only one way in which this arm will fit, so that there need be no worry about replacement. GASOLINE FEED LOCK Pipe from Vacuum tank Pipe to Carburetor. A new kind of safety device against theft is this lock attached to the gasoline line, so that it can stop the passage of fuel from the vacuum tank to the carburetor. It is installed on the instrument board or under it. AUTOMOBILE NEWS Beware of overpriming the engine. First motorcar exhibited was a "freak" in a circus.

SENATE CHANGING THE TARIFF BILL DEBATE OVER IT MAY NOT BE VERY LONG FOR SENATORS ARE TIRED OF TALKING BONUS BILL GOING THROUGH Action of Upper House on Measures Reducing the Army and Navy to Useless Proportions Cannot Yet Be Predicted. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—When the senate gets through with the tariff bill it will bear comparatively little resemblance to the measure as it passed the house. Of course a good deal of interest centers in the American valuation clause, which has been discussed to the tiring point time after time. As things are, however, dairy men want higher rates on eggs; bakers are asking for reduction on eggs; dye men want an extension of the period fixed for the embargo; soap men want something done in the matter of vegetable oils which are imported for saponaceous purposes; and then there is trouble over the rate proposed on raw stock picture films. In the senate these days there are being repeated the scenes of the days of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. Various interests are represented here, each in its own behalf to beg for special provisions to protect this industry or that industry against what each man says is destruction. Tariff discussions in open house and senate are apt to be dry affairs, but the hearings are not altogether sleep producing. Occasionally the petitioners, pro and con, enliven the proceedings with personalities and with doings which look as if they might culminate in old-fashioned rows. The public is showing more interest in the tariff proceedings in the room of the finance committee of the senate than it did in those in the ways and means room of the house. So far as the representatives are concerned, Mr. Fordney, the ways and means chairman, seemed to have made up his mind what he and his colleagues were going to do, and so the representatives of the various interests thought it useless to make much of a fight. Things are different over in the senate. Senators Too Tired to Talk Long. it begins to look today as if the tariff bill will not consume as much debate and argument time as it was at first supposed would be the case. This is not because senators have no strong opinions on this, that or the other provision of the bill, but because every one of them is tired out, and some of the most labially active ones seem to be talked out. Perhaps they will get a second breath before the time to start the wind mills into action shall come, but there is every evidence today of actual fatigue in the senate chamber, something which has not been in evidence there for a good many years. Not long ago it was believed that the senate either would postpone action on the bonus bill until another and a more convenient season, or would change it materially, probably cutting out the cash or near cash feature of the measure. Today the seeming wiseacres declare that the senate will pass the bill in pretty much the form in which it passed the house, and that President Harding under pressure of party persuasion will give it his endorsement. Just what the senate will do with the measures on which the national safety depends, those which would reduce the army and navy to the point of uselessness, remains to be seen, but if the majority of the senators prove as panicky as was the case with a majority of the house men, they may endorse the propositions to cut the army and navy down to proportions which, while they will cost a good deal of money to maintain, will make them of little service to the government. In other words, the President seems to believe and so do all army and navy men, that if the proposed reductions are made it might be just as well to go further and wipe the army off the earth and the navy off the sea. Harding May Save Army and Navy. Harding May Save Army and Navy. Within a few days flat statement has been made by men who seem to know the administration's mind that if the senate shall do what the house wants it to do, and provide for a piggy army and navy, President Harding will veto the bills. Not even in the days preceding the entrance of the United States into the war with Germany were the evidences of extreme pacifism more salient than they are in Washington today. Congressmen seem to hold the thought that because the treaties have been ratified by the senate, there no longer is any need for an American force, either on land or on sea. They seem to have the confidence of babes that nobody is going to hurt them or theirs in the future. President Harding, it is said, believes that the action of the house in army and navy matters is purely political and that the members are not such fools personally as they appear to be, but that they were directed along the line of destruction of every defense means solely by the thought that their constituents would approve of the course and that therefore they would vote them back into office. Congress Library Attracts Crowds. In these spring days the library of congress is crowded daily and nightly with visitors. It stands on the hill just across the park from the Capitol of the United States. Men say that it is the most beautiful building in the world, but this praise principally is directed to the library's interior. The Washington Standard Guide gives some statistics about the library which may be of interest. The grounds and residences upon them which it was necessary to condemn to secure the site of the library cost the government something over half a million dollars. The net cost exclusive of the site was $6,032,124.54, and the building was completed just twenty-five years ago. The type of architecture of the library is of the so-called Italian renaissance. It has two stories with a dome and it covers about three and a half acres of ground with four large inner courts. Windows to the number of 2,000 make it the best lighted library in the world. When one enters the library of congress from the main door, if he is sensitively inclined he feels at first a sort of a pin prick sensation, because the effect of the decorations and the general color scheme is rather startling. It seems too brilliant, but soon the whole thing softens and the rare beauty of the place, a really gentle beauty, impresses itself upon one and he knows that he is standing in restful and entrancingly beautiful surroundings. Quotations From the Walls. The other day the writer visited the library for the purpose of reading some of the printed inscriptions which fit into the details of the various departments of the building and which impress upon one the glories of learning. On looking at the library, at its vast shelves and books, at its pictorial representations of the happenings in the progress of the world, he cannot fail to remember the words of the epitaph of Greene, the historian of the English people, who lies buried in the south of France. On Greene's monument are these words: "He died learning." When one surveys the wonderous array of art and literary treasures in the library of congress he becomes almost appalled at the thought of how much there is to learn and he knows that man can go through a long life from the day when he first learns to read till the day of his death and through it all be in a continual state of acquirement of knowledge. He dies learning. Here are some of the quotations in the library, inscribed in places where there are either books or paintings which make the quotations pertinent: The poets, who on earth have made us heirs Of truth and pure delight by heavenly lays.—Wordsworth. Memory is the treasurer and guardian of all things.—Cicero. The true university of these days is a collection of books.—Carlyle. Nature is the art of God.—Sir Thomas Browne. Tongues in trees, book in the running brooks; Sermons in stone, and good in everything —As, You, Like, It. Glory is acquired by virtue, but preserved by letters.—Petrarch. Books will speak plain, when counselors blanch.-Bacon. Ignorance is the curse of God. Knowledge the wing wherewith we fly to Heaven—Henry VI. In books lies the soul of the whole past time.—Carlyle. These are only a few quotations which are found in the library. The walls are divided between wonderful paintings and finely apt quotations. Fine Saying of Dionysius. It seemed to me that the finest quotation of all, so far as its application to the present day is concerned, is one from Dionysius who, although not by any means altogether a fine character, was a patron of literary men and artists, and aspired to literary fame. The quotation is this: "The foundation of every state is the education of its youth." In the library civilization's progress is shown in a section of the dome in which are represented symbolically the efforts of twelve nations to contribute to educational progress, and with this symbolic representation is another showing the epochs in which knowledge made rapid strides through the endeavors of the people. The representations are those of Egypt, Judea, Greece, Rome, Islam, The Middle Ages, Italy, Germany, Spain, England, France and America, Egypt represents written records; Judea, religion; Greece, philosophy; Rome, administration; Islam, physics; The Middle Ages, modern languages; Italy, fine arts; Germany, the art of printing; Spain, discovery; England, literature; France, emancipation, and America, science. Their Allotted Work Done. Now and then Sir Ernest Shackleton found it necessary to do odd jobs far removed from the field of Antarctic exploration. While his old chief, Captain Scott, was fighting his way home from the South pole, only to die in a tent a few miles from his food depot, Shackleton was a cigarette maker in New York. A minute or two after the cables flashed the news of Scott's disaster, an Evening Post report called Shackleton by telephone at his tiny factory in Fifth avenue. Shackleton was the one man in New York who knew Scott well, and his voice broke when he heard the news. "I can't believe he is gone," he said. He asked for details, and not until they were forthcoming did he accept the truth of the report. Now Shackleton, too, is gone, and the Antarctic has added one more name to its roll of gallant dead.—New York Evening Post. BREAK IN LEVEE ON MISSISSIPPI TRAIN CREWS BATTLE WATER IN INUNDATED DISSTRICTS. FORCE OF FLOOD WATERS UNDERMINES HOUSES IN LOUISIANA. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) New Orleans, La.—As a result of a breaking of the levee of the Mississippi river near Ferriday, La., eight or ten small communities as far north as Sicily Island, along the Missouri Pacific railway, are inundated. The towns of Panola, Junks, Clayton and other communities are under twenty feet of water. Train crews have removed from the stricken area all men, women and children who could be reached. Natchez, Miss.—Fifty or more families are occupying railroad box cars and improvised houses at Sicily Island. Rescue workers report that at least three-fourths of Concordia and Catahoula parishes are inundated. Power boats were sent from Natchez to Junks, La., to aid in rescuing marooned women and children. The village is fifteen feet under water in places. The force of the floodwaters from the crevasse was so great that houses were swept away, they reported. Reports from Newellson, La., stated the situation at the Lone leeve on the line of Tensas and Madison parishes was extremely critical but that a desperate fight was being made to hold the line. Almost daily sloughing has taken place on this leeve for the past week. More than 1,000 men have been stationed at this point. Atlanta Ga.—More than 4,000 flood refugees are being cared for in three camps established at Harrisonburg and Martinsville, La., and Natchez, Miss., according to reports to headquarters of the southern division of the Red Cross in Atlanta. Dallas, Texas.—The crest of the Trinity river flood has passed Dallas, reaching a maximum depth of 42.3 feet, according to the local weather bureau. Murphy Captures 150-Mile Race. Fresno, Calif.—Jimmy Murphy won the 150-mile automobile race against a field of nine, in 1 hour 27 minutes and 30 seconds, here. Murphy took the lead in the second lap and was never headed, crossing the line a lap and three-quarters ahead of Frank Elliott, who was second. Harry Hartz was third. Peter de Paolo narrowly escaped serious injury in the ninety-eighth lap on a turn when his car threw a tire and started up the bowl for the guard rail, but the brakes held. Utah Mine Guard Is Shot. Salt Lake City.—One mine guard and two striking coal miners were wounded in an altercation between mine guards and strikers at Scofield in the Carbon county coal fields of Utah. Sam Dorrity, former chief deputy United States marshal for Utah, now chief guard for a mine company, was shot from his horse, wounded in the thigh. Preparations are under way to send two troops of state cavalry to the scene of the disorder. Deck Falls on Harding Convoy. Point Pleasant, Ohio.—Two people were injured aboard the Island Queen when the forward portion of the third deck crashed as the steamer was passing New Richmond. Only a timely half minute's warning after the first clash in which the deck sank a foot before it completely gave way probably prevented a serious catastrophe. The Island Queen was one of the steamers in the flotilla carrying President Harding to Point Pleasant to the Grant celebration. The President was not on the Island Queen. 70.000 Acres Covered in Illinois. Chicago.—Seventy thousand acres of land near Cairo, Ill., were covered completely with water which is not expected to recede for four weeks, according to a survey made by Mayor Rhoads of Cairo and received at central division headquarters of the American Red Cross here. Additional supplies were sent to the section. At Beardstown, Ill., Red Cross officials said 100 families are being cared for and supplies are arriving regularly. Griffith Accuses De Valera. Dublin.—Bitter exchanges between Arthur Griffith, president of the Dall Elreann, and Eamon de Valera, the Republican leader, more intense than any heretofore, marked recent proceedings of the Dall Elreann. Charges and counter-charges of responsibility for the present disorders characterized the debate, and Mr. Griffith, in a strong attack, endeavored to show that De Valera, while professing rigid Republicanism, was willing to compromise. 1027 Twenty-first St. Denver Office Phone: Mahlman 212-265-3333 8 p. m. or by appointment.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Washing and ironing are among the herdest of the regular household tasks, and ways of lessening the work are much needed in many homes, The ideal of every housekeeper would be a separate room for her laundry, with running water and modern labor-say- ing devices. These cannot be provided in every home, but even where the arrangement and equipment are neces- sarily very simple it 1s often possible to make minor changes or to plan the work in such a way that it will take teas time and strength. Kitchen Was Convenient. In olden days tubs and wash benches were brought into the kitchen because water could be heated there most con- ventently, and from this seems to have developed the idea that the kitchen Is the place for the laundry. The odors rhs ML at and steam from laundry work, how- ever, are disagreeable in a kitchen, and the handling of soiled clothing in any room in which food is prepared is highly objectionable. If clothes must be washed in the kitchen the prelimi- nary sorting should be done elsewhere. In some sections it is considered preferable to have the washing done out of doors or in a room outside of the house. Otherwise the best place for a laundry is usually either in a room next to the kitchen or in a base- ment room directly below it, because this makes it possible to use the same chimney, and, if thé house is equipped with running water, the same water pipes for both rooms. A basement laundry generally means too many stairs for the housewife, while a room adjoining the kitchen may enable her much more easily to carry on or over- see the work in both rooms at the same time. Worker Worthy of Good Tools ~ Good equipment fs as important as right methods in laundry work, Both decrease the labor, shorten the time, and assist in producing better results. Equipment need not be expensive, but it should be chosen and placed from the point of view of service and for the comfort of the worker, The working surface of nearly all laundry equipment ts usually set too -low, and the woman operating it 1s so out of balance that she is soon fa- tigued. Little of the washing process 1s done in the bottom of the tub, and the working height is about half way up the side. For the average worker the top rim of the tub should be 36 inches from the floor; in all cases the tubs should be placed so that the work- er does not stoop from the shoulders but bends at the hips, laundry speclal- ists in the United States Department of Agriculture say. A portable wash- tub may be easily raised or lowered to the right height. If the top of the washboard is too high, it may be low- ered by cutting off part of the legs, The troning table or board should be so low that force from the shoulder can be applied easily; 81 inches is a good average height. Where no special room is provided for laundry and there are no set tubs, 8 portable bench of the correct height ' and size is convenient. Many Kinds of Tubs. A wooden tub is difficult to keep in good condition. If kept dry it is likely to shrink and fall apart; if kept moist enough to prevent shrinking, it is Ukely to become watersoaked and slimy, and may have a disagreeable odor. A portable, galvanized-iron tub 1s fairly light, durable and easy to keep clean, but may corrode. A fiber tub is still lighter, is easily kept clean, and fs durable if left dry, but is niore expensive than an Iron tub. Any port- | able tub may have a hole bored in it and a plug inserted so that water may be drained from it without lifting the tab. ‘Hot and cold water can be piped to a portable tub as well as to @ more expensive stationary one. Wood, which is now little used, has the same qualities for set tubs as for portable ones. Soapstone and similar materials are cheaper than porcelain, but their dark color makes it more dif- ficult to be sure that they are clean. Porcelain or enameled iron tubs are heavily glazed and do not rust or ab- sorb grease. Both white and yellow porcelain tubs are on the market; the latter are cheaper but the color may make {t hard to tell when the clothes are white. A home laundry Is often equipped with two tubs, but when there Is no washing machine a third tub saves much handling of the clothes. Three Types of Mixtures Made Subject of Tests. One Part Boiled Linseed Oi! to Three Parts of Turpentine Were Found to Be Most Satisfactory— Retained High Gloss. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) A study of the cumparative darken- ing effects of different floor oils was made under the direction of the United States Department of Agriculture oyer a period of six months. ‘Three types of mixtures were tested. The first consisted of equal parts of mo- tor or engine oil and kerosene; the second was made up of one part bolled linseed oll to three parts of turpentine; the third was a widely ad- vertised commercial oil, Separate mops, kept in separate wrappings, were used for the tests, and mopping was done about once a week. A five- room occupied apartment was used as the basis for the experiment. ‘The floors, which were of pine, were very old and dark from many coatings of shellac and varnish. Before the experiment was started they were scrubbed with a strong solution of ‘washing soda until they were of a light shade. After using different oils ‘in different rooms it was found that ‘the floor ofl consisting of one part bolled linseed oil to three parts tur- pentine was the most satisfactory. This oil seemed to have a cleansing effect on the floors to which It was ap- plied. It retained a high gloss and did not darken to any extent the floor on which it was used. ‘The commercial ofl used in this ex- periment darkened the floor to which it was applied more than did the lin- seed oil mixture, but retained inore of a gloss than the mixture of motor oll and kerosene, which also darkened the floors, CONSERVING GAS IN KITCHEN Device Shown in .Iilustration May Be Made to Cover Two or Four Burners of Range.

WAYS WITH SUET With a pound of nice sweet suet one may prepare several good dishes, among them are: || | ar Old - Fashioned CT] feraa | Yash. — Brown rs Y one large onion td SY well, chopped in Ki one-half — cupful Des ik of suet, then add [aN boiling water to isomer cover and six or oe aT) eight’ medium-sized potatoes which have been diced, Stew the mixture for an hour, seasoning, with salt and pepper. Potatoes With Dressing.—Try out one cupful of suet in a baking pan and place peeled potatoes in one end to bake. After a half-hour add the following dressing: Place a quart of bread crumbs in a crock and pour over this a small quantity of soup stock; if water is used add butter, then add one egg, a small onion chopped, salt and pepper to season. Buke the dressing with potatoes. When done remove the remaining fat and serve the potatoes and dressing with a green salad. Noodles.—Place three-quarters of a cupful of ground suet in a kettle, try out and when the bits are brown re- move them. Add three pints of water, salt and pepper and cook noodies in the kettle tightly covered for fifteen minutes, Vegetable Soup.—To one cupful of suet add one large onion sliced and browned, and two quarts of soup broth prepared from beef bones, two large tomatoes or the» equivalent In canned tomato, two carrots diced, a large tablespoonful of rice, a sprig of parsley and a small turnip with a ttle cabbage if desired. Season well and simmer an hour. This is a dell- cious and nourishing soup which will take the place of a main dish. Stuffed Onions.—Cook large, un!- form sized onions until nearly done. Scoop out the center and fill with the onion chopped and mixed with chopped suet, sage, bread crumbs and pepper and salt to season, Bake, basting with a little tried out suet until a good rich brown, Rice With Suet.—Boll a cupful of rice until tender in salted water; bar- ley may ve used in place of the rice If preferred: when cooked reserve one quart of the water with the rice and udd one cupful of chopped suet.

The following recipe will give the method of preparing it: Take two bunches of water cress, each bunch weighing a pound. or a quart of chepped cress, half a table spoonful of minced onion, three table- spoonfuls of rice, three tablespoonfuls of butter, a dash of cayenne, the yolk of an egg, four cuptuls of white stock (chicken preferred), a cupful of rich milk or thin cream, one-half teaspoon- ful of salt, a grating of nutmeg and whipped cream ‘or garnishing. Pick off the tips of ‘he cress and save for garnishing; chop fine, stems and all. Fry the onion in butter until a light yellow, add the stock, rice and cress, When well cooked rub through a sieve und add the egg und cream. There should be three ‘upfuls of soup when ready to serve. Serve piping hot with whipped cream sprinkled with the fresh cress tips. When one is fortunate enough to obtain cress {n abundance, cook it as ‘one does spinach or any greens. Dé not add any water when cooking ex- cept that which clings to the cress. Toss and stir occasionally until it [s well heated through. If care Is used ho extra water will be needed. Drain, save the liquor and chop the cress fine. Thicken the liquor with a little flour and butter cooked together, add- ing a generous cupply of butter. Serve very hot.

THE arbitrators of fashion are not those who design the clothes that pass in review each season, but those who approve them. The way of the producer would be a straight and easy path to success if he could make the right guess at least half of the time. His brain children have had their spring tryouts and he knows now which have survived. Among the dependable things for summer wear, very simple sport suits are already a success. The word "sport" must be given a broad in- ```markdown ``` THE WORLD'S FINEST FASHION A RIVAL OF THE TAILORED SUIT repretation in connection with clothes this season for it embraces everyday street dress. As a rival of the tailored suit, sport suits like that shown here, or similar to it, enliven the streets and lend to their wearers at least the flavor of youth. At first glance it seems there is nothing to these suits—just a plain skirt and a jacket or smock or slip-over blouse—but there is in reality much to them. It lies in the choice of material, color, neck and sleeve styles and character of decoration. The suit pictured is made of gray homespun and embroidered at the neck and on the sleeves with blue and white chenille. It has three small pockets, one at each side of the blouse and one, still smaller, at the left of the bust. The narrow belt is made of the material. The skirt, as pictured, is shorter A A J than the mode dictates—eight inches from the floor is the limit set for brevity. But in some localities the younger women insist upon shorter skirts and go their independent way with the approval of a considerable number of people. Fashion may decree simplicity in dresses and suits for spring and summer, but she is of a different mind about millinery. In every assembly of hats we find them elaborated in many ways; paying tribute to spring by wearing its blossoms and heralding the coming of summer by choosing its ric hat is dotted that spatter them silk blossoms fla brim. It has a ends of silk braid may find tailor among them those like the hat pict stiff loops of ribb for ornament. Julia --- --- fruits and flowers for their adornment. These are the themes, with endless variations, that millinery employs to make its song of summer, and hats with no flowers or fruits on them, are rare. Another outstanding feature in the new displays of millinery is the number of hats with brims more or less wide, and therefore more picturesque than their early spring forerunners. Colors are enchanting, with man's soft shades of yellow in great favor. In blues, cobalt and periwinkle have A been reinforced by a pale tint, arriving in company with "Princess Mary pink." Orchid has an army of admirers and gooseberry green is a promising addition to the gay company. In more vivid tones there are "spark" and "lip-stick" reds, rust color and nasturtium shades. But none of these colors outrivals white, which the displays indicate will predominate for midsummer. In the group of four hats shown here a little glimpse of the great diversity in millinery styles is given. They are distinctly different from each other. The group includes a leghorn in the natural color, with soft crown and scarf of pale amber georgette and a wreath of locust blossoms. A small hat of orchid straw, wreathed with grapes and pansies, has a sash of narrow blue ribbon. A white fab J ric hat is dotted with black beads that spatter themselves over the black silk blossoms flattened against the brim. It has a collar and hanging ends of silk braid. Whoever chooses may find tailored, fabric hats and among them those of Batavia cloth, like the hat pictured in black, with stiff loops of ribbon and a jet buckle for ornament.
