THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION FOR NEGROES DEVELOPING VOL. XXVIII. MANY EVIDENCES that state colleges for Negroes and similar institutions on private foundation in the South are being put on a more substantial basis and that there is an increased interest in their work in agriculture and home economics were found by Dr. A. C. True, director states relations service, United States Department of Agriculture, during a recent visit to a number of such institutions in North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia. The number of students at these institutions has greatly increased in recent years and they have better trained faculties and enlarged equipment. This is due in large part to the fact that as a result of the inroads of the cotton boll weevil and other economic causes, agriculture in the South is becoming more diversified and therefore requires more intelligence and education on the part of the farm operator. The number of Negroes owning farms is increasing and many of them are seeking better training in agriculture for their children. Increased Demand for Teachers. It was also observed that institutions receiving the Smith-Hughes fund for the training of teachers are being much benefited by the aid. There is an increased demand for teachers and extension workers in agriculture and home economics and these institutions are being stimulated to meet this demand. The extension agents are closely associated with the higher institutions and influence many students to attend them. They also stimulate interest in the work of the institutions in agriculture and home economics. The larger part of the work of the institutions visited by Dr. True is of secondary grade and many students are still admitted in the elementary grades. Comparatively few are taking the college courses, and in some instances no work is attempted beyond the second year of the college course. The classes in home economics are usually well organized and largely attended by girls. There has been much more difficulty in getting the boys to take the agricultural courses. They have been much more inclined to take courses in various trades because when they have learned a trade they can immediately obtain relatively large wages. The agricultural equipment of some of the institutions has been relatively meagre and unattractive. Increased efforts are now being made to improve this equipment with good results. There are as yet comparatively few high schools for Negroes in the states visited. There is, however, a general movement to improve the rural schools for them, with state aid and private endowment, and as a result examples of schools with good houses of two or three rooms, adequate equipment and competent teachers are now quite numerous. A recent report on this subject shows that under the stimulus of contributions from a single private source, 1,265 houses for such schools have been erected in the Southern states with public and private funds at a cost of about $4,000,000. One of these schools was visited and the work and equipment were found to be excellent. These and similar schools maintained under other auspices are close- State Hist & Nut Hist Society State House ly linked with the agricultural extension work. Boys' and girls' clubs are maintained in connection with them. These are often used as community centers where extension agents hold meetings. "These institutions," says Dr. True, "greatly appreciate what the department is doing for them by furnishing publications and illustrative material and by helping them in other ways in their efforts to solve the problems of Negro agricultural education." Race Corporation Buys White Manufacturing Plant Owners Sold Year Ago to Prevent Colored Work Forced to Turn Over to Colored Buyer. New York, N. Y., April 24.—At a sale of the phonograph record pressing plant of the Remington Phonograph Corporation, a large white concern, founded by the grandson of the inventor of the Remington rifle, and the Remington typewriter, the successful bidder and purchaser of the plant was the representative of the Pace Phonograph Corporation, makers of the Colored Black Swan Records and of which Harry H. Pace is president. An interesting feature of the sale is that it was in this plant that Mr. Pace first began to make phonograph records. The hostility of certain large white companies to his entering the record business was so great that they purchased this plant from its then owners and sold it to the Remington concern in order to shut off Mr. Pace's facilities for manufacturing. Undaunted he went ahead and in the face of many obstacles placed the Black Swan Record on the market. In twelve months the company he organized has been so successful and made so much profit that it was able to buy the same plant that its white competitors had sought to keep it out of a year ago. Fate sometimes plays queer pranks and this is one of them in connection with the development of a new field of Negro business. The Supreme Council, Thirty-third Degree, Free and Accepted Masons, to Convene in St. Paul, Minn.—The Fortyfirst Annual Session The annual session of the Supreme Council of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, the thirty-third and last degree of Free Masonry will convene at St. Paul, Minn., Monday and Tuesday, May 8th and 9th.

Representatives from all sections of the North are expected and quite a number of candidates who were elected at Cleveland, Ohio, last year, will form quite a large class to receive the degree at St. Paul. ABLE PEOPLE'S PA RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, Michigan Second Senator Pledges Vote for Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill Following the pledge by Senator Townsend of Michigan that he would support and vote for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the Senate, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today made public a similar pledge from Senator Truman H. Newberry, also of Michigan. Senator Newberry, writing to Oscar W. Baker of Bay City, Mich., said: "I am very glad to advise you and through you the National Association for the Advancement of Colorado People, that I expect to vote for the Dyer Bill when ever it is brought before the Senate, and will naturally do everything I properly can to have the matter disposed of at the earliest practicable date." Dining Car Waiter Worth a Hundred Thousand Chicago, Ill., April 24th.—When the diners on the Pioneer Limited of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad push their dime and quarter tips to the affable and accommodating waiter, they do not know that they are giving their money to a man worth $100,000. The waiter is William Taylor Johnson. For more than twenty years he has had charge of the café club car on the train between Chicago and the Twin cities. It was the two days that he is forced to spend every week in Minneapolis that gave Johnson his first idea for high finance. He bought a thirty-six-acre farm at Anoka, Minn., twenty miles north of Minneapolis. Here he raises hogs, turkeys, corn, potatoes and never has known a crop failure. He has studied scientific farming with thoroughness and has installed the latest methods on his farm. Howard Graduate Gives Barrel of Flour for Alumni Banquet Washington, D. C., May 6.—An unique treat awaits the graduates and former students of Howard University who return on Alumni Day, June 8, 1922. Recently a barrel of flour milled from wheat grown on the farm of one of Howard's oldest graduates was received by Professor George M. Lightfoot and turned over to the university. The university authorities are holding the barrel of flour "sacred" until Commencement Day when it will be used to make the bread and biscuits to be served at the Alumni Banquet. The loyal Howard alumnus who makes this gift is Mr. E. H. Grasty of Winston, Virginia, Class of 1872. He helped to plant trees on the campus when the university was first started. He has worked at his home in Winston, Virginia, ever since his graduation from Howard doing educational work. Mr. Grasty is a force in his community and has inspired a great many young men and women to come to Howard. One of his favorite pupils was Mr. George M. Lightfoot, now professor of Latin at Howard University. --- N. A. A. C. P. Haiti Expose Bears New Fruit Twenty-four Prominent Lawyers Denounce Invasion in Report to Secretary of State. The exposure of the conquest of Haiti began by the N. A. A. C. P. has led to a powerful protest by twenty-four of the most prominent lawyers in the country, according to announcement made at N. A. A. C. P. headquarters, 70 Fifth avenue, New York. Among the lawyers are Moorfield Storey, former president of the American Bar Association and now national president of the N. A. A. C. P.; Felix Frankfurter and Zachariah Chaffee, Jr., professor of law at Harvard; Louis Marshall of New York; Nelson S. Spencer, president of the City Club of New York; Tyrell Williams, dean of the Washington University Law School at St. Louis; Frederick Bausman, former pudge of the Supreme Court at Washington. The report of the twenty-four lawyers says: The Invasion of the black republic is "in violation of our constitution, our treaties and of international law." The lawyers' report is accompanied by an Address Against American Occupation of Haiti, signed by a committee from the National Popular Government League, consisting of United States Senator Robert L. Owen, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and others. This address cites testimony from the Senate Investigating Committee hearings, showing that atrocities were committed by marines in Haiti and Santo Domingo, including torture by hot iron and infliction of the "water cure," and shock by electric wire. The roads built by the American Occupation, says the address, were "largely built by forced labor, and had the 'men responsible attempted any such thing in the United States, they would have been subject to a penitentiary sentence." Both lawyers and signers of the address demand restoration of Haiti and Dominican sovereignty over their own affairs. New Jersey Senator Pledges Support for Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill New Jersey Senator Pledges Support for Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill Replying to a letter written by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen of New Jersey has announced he will support the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, H. R. 13, in the United States Senate. This pronouncement of Senator Frelinghuysen is regarded as of special importance in view of the senator's close friendship with President Harding who was the senator's guest in Florida, just prior to the inauguration. Senator Frelinghuysen's letter follows: "Mr. James W. Johnson, Secretary, National Association, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City. "Dear Mr. Johnson: "Replying to your letter of April 19, relative to the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill, will say that I have already stated that I would favor this measure when it comes before the Senate for action. Please convey my attitude to the members of your organization. "With best wishes, I am "Very sincerely yours. "JOSEPH H. FRELINGHUYSEN." COLORED POLITICAL BOSSES ARE SHEARED OF POLITICAL POWER President Has Talked With Leaders, It Is Thought, on the Situation—Their Wishes Regarded—New Policy Serves Race Best. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 24. Some time ago the White House was reported as saying that the policy to be pursued, controlling the appointment of colored men to federal offices, would be based upon efficiency rather than upon recommendation of a few political bosses, hitherto before taken into confidence by past administrations and advice religiously followed. The pledge, as made, referring to colored appointments has been sacredly kept and the President's careful recognition of this promise indicates that only the very best men will be considered where places involving ability and character are concerned. The failure of the administration to call into conference leaders of the "old guard" is producing a somewhat "sour grape" effect and while they claim that it is not an altogether plain, every day snub, yet with heavily curtailed authority, much humiliation must be felt by those dethroned political potentates, who once held regal sway. At clubs, private dinners and those occasional unique home smokers are the places usually where such topics are more liberally discussed and conclusions reached. From much of the information permeating the political atmosphere these days, harmony among prominent colored Republicans does not offer much encouragement and it is a question whether President Harding, under existing circumstances, could rely upon the old time method, that is, leaving it to the political aces to aid him in the selection of competent colored men to fill important positions under the government. It is definitely known that some of the best leaders of the race have called on the President and have impressed him with the fact that the colored people of the country are desirous of having positions of trust filled with the finest timber the race has and that the day of "pop-corn" politics is at an end. It is further understood that the President has been informed that the masses are with him in this issue, and any other one pertaining to the uplift of the race. It is also believed that the chief executive, as far as possible, is respecting the wishes of those leaders with whom he has talked thus far, who have received snug births, have had their sanction. It cannot be overlooked for a moment that the President knew that such a stand would cause adverse comment among a certain class and for a while be quite a troublesome "fly in the ointment," but it was universally predicted that a change in the political procedure had to be made somewhere and at sometime, no matter where the thorn stuck. This new departure in the political arena is staging a somewhat sensitive sensation and judging from opinions expressed by veterans who have long since grown experts in the service, no phase of the exhibition is escaping attention and features that are worth while at present unforeseen, will no doubt develop and have their inning as the game progresses.—Philadelphia Tribune. WINS OVER WHITE MAN IN ALDERMANIC CONTEST Mounds, Ill., April 28.—Virgil E. Chambliss, a young business man of this city, was elected alderman in his ward. He defeated his white opponent by a large majority of votes. Mr. Chambliss is a member of the Knights of Pythias, being a past chancellor commander, and is also a 32nd degree Mason. At present he is managing a prosperous mercantile business.

Howard Commencement Exercises to Be Held June 4 to 9, 1922 Washington, D. C., May 6.—A preliminary announcement of the Commencement Week activities at Howard University has just been made by President J. Stanley Durkee. The program of events will begin with the baccalaureate sermon by the president of the university on Sunday, June 4, and will end with the commencement exercises Friday, June 9. During the week each day will be filled with events of interest to the alumni and friends of the Howard University. On Tuesday, June 6, the cornerstone of the new dining hall and home economics building will be laid. The exercises will be under the direction of Justice Stanton J. Peelle, president of the board of trustees, and the members of the board. One of the days of particular interest this year will be Thursday, June 8, which has been designated Alumni Day. Various classes have planned to hold reunions with special class programs, class dinners and receptions. The program for the day includes a business meeting of the General Alumni Association, R. O. T. C. Exhibitions, an "At Home to alumni and friends by President and Mrs. Durkee, a band concert in the early evening, and ending with the Pantomime "Danse Callida" by Ridgeley Torrence to be given on the campus by the Howard Players. The commencement exercises will be held Friday morning, June 9, at 11 o'clock, followed by an alumni banquet in the afternoon at 2 p. m. Declines Federal Appointment Chicago, Ill., April 24.—Frank A. Byron made a quiet-trip here from Washington recently to decline appointment as Deputy Internal Revenue Inspector. Federal officials expressed surprise as refusals of this sort have been rare, but Mr. Byron had an eminently good reason for his refusal. The position which he holds in Washington is infinitely better than anything which the administration is offering under its federal patronage in district offices, even the salary being a thousand or two higher. Mr. Byron, who is a Chicagoan, has the distinction of serving as clerk to the House committee on naval affairs, his appointment making the first time a colored man has ever held a position as clerk to any committee. He won the position through merit and because he knew the work, having served the committee in various capacities for the past twenty years. Mr. Charles Pickett, for years trusted confidential secretary to the late Senator Cullom and now with Senator McKinley, is credited with being the power which brings things to pass for Illinois, while he works modestly and quietly. Mr. Pickett is always in the qul vive to do the thing which can be counted to be of the greatest good to the group.

SHIP SUBSIDY IS URGENTLY PUSHED BILL'S CHANCES INCREASED BY EFFORTS OF THE "LITTLE NAVY" MEN IN CONGRESS. NAVAL MEN WANT IT PASSED Merchant Vessels Would Be Most Useful in Event of War—President Harding and Lasker Working Hard for the Measure. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—If congress in its wisdom, or more likely unwisdom, shall cut the United States navy below the strength allowed to it by the international conference, the chances for success of the merchant marine subsidy bill are increased. The merchant ships are good for something besides the carrying trade. They can be used for certain purposes in time of war. If Warren G. Harding and Albert D. Lasker can have their way, and they are working hard to get it, the ship subsidy bill will be passed at the present session of congress. Mr. Lasker has been propagandizing in behalf of the measure, and so has President Harding. "Propagandizing" in this case is an affair of the heart and, as such, probably can be considered within the proprieties. A good many years of watching things from the galleries of congress and of hearing things in the corridors of congress confessedly make one skeptical of the success at the present session of the effort of the Marion man and the Chicago man, but there seems to be something more than an even chance that a subsidy for the shipping interests will be provided by the congress of the United States which now is sitting. Next winter is not far off, as time is counted. Of course a limitation is set upon the building of merchant ships with a view to converting them into warships. However, there is nothing to prevent the merchant fleet when war breaks out from becoming an auxiliary of such warships as there may be afloat. They are indispensable for the purpose of transporting troops, for the carrying of shot, shell and high explosives and other material of warfare. Navy Men for the Subsidy. It is apparent from what navy men say that they will rejoice if the ship subsidy bill shall become a law of the land. They never can look with equanimity upon the depletion of the crews of the warships and on the passing of the major men of war, but they can look on it more placidly if they know that in the day of possible war the country's carriers of peace-time products can be used to help out such a navy as Uncle Sam may have. The United States, in a way, has tried to run its own merchant marine. Everybody knows what a mess has been made of things. Congress is being told that if a subsidy is not granted there will be no merchant marine at all worthy the name, unless actual government ownership comes into operation—and this neither the administration nor congress wants to have come to pass. There has been some little surprise in Washington because of the seemingly intense interest which the President has taken and is taking in the subsidy proposal. Originally he belonged to the school of politicians and economists which did not believe in subsidies of any kind, although personally he may have held something of the views which he holds today. Why Harding Wants It. The fact is that the President at this time believes that if the country does not grant a subsidy we will have no merchant marine worthy of the name; that it will be impossible to open new markets and that other countries which are not hampered by laws regulating the kind of crews that they shall employ, the kind of quarters that they give them and some other things, will continue to have the cream of the trade. It would be interesting today if one could determine definitely just how much progress has been made in converting individual Middle Westerners and Southerners to the cause of the proposed legislation. Naturally men whose cities and states will profit directly and, so to speak, visually, by a subsidy are in favor of the measure, but there are others from the South and from the Middle West who still seem to hold that subsidy legislation is a scheme of New England and other coastwise states to benefit themselves at the expense of persons who do not live within smelling distance of salt water, or within hearing distance of the sound of the waves on the beach. Friends of the subsidy legislation in senate and house seem to think that it has more than a fighting chance for passage at the present session of congress. The trouble is that the congressmen want to get away as early as possible, and they know now that they cannot get away to enter the campaign within two months of the time that the leaders promised them should be the case. Therefore, if subsidy does not get into position to receive direct legislative attention until, say July, it probably is all off for this session. However, there is always another day, and that day will be next winter. Senate May Talk Long on Tariff. Congress reluctantly seems to have settled down, into the seat of convic- tion that it must stay here all summer to discuss the tariff bill. The house passed the bill and the senate committee on finance received it, and then proceeded to the task of recasting. It has been reported to the senate and the lagging debate is on. In a general way it may be said that the customs rates of the bill are somewhat higher than those of the Payne-Aldrich law, which was the last customs measure enacted by a Republican congress. The bill, when it goes into effect, will supersede the Democratic law produced by what is known as the Underwood-Simmons bill. It is a sheer impossibility, unless one chose to take up every available inch of space of a newspaper issue, to discuss the various pros and cons of this new measure. The thing for men and women to do who happen to be interested in any specific items in the tariff bill is to send to their individual representatives in congress and to ask for copies of the house and senate measures, and in them look up the particular thing which is of personal or professional interest. There are certain virtually new industries which are given recognition in the measure. Most of these industries, at least in an active form, were the creation of the war, and today seemingly consideration of them is vital to the industrial independence of the American people, at least so says the majority report of the senate finance committee. These new industries include coat tar dyes and medicinal products, long staple cotton, the Wisconsin hemp industry, magnesite and potash mining industries, walnut, almond and citric acid industries in the West and new chemical and optical glassware manufactures. American Valuation Rejected. The senate committee made many changes in the house bill. The most marked is that which rejects the provision for American valuation and which substitutes a plan of assessment on foreign valuation. This change, if it shall be sanctioned by the senate, will cause a long drawn-out controversy between the two houses when the bill goes to conference. There is no attempt here to pass judgment on the wisdom or unwisdom of either scheme of valuation. American students of economics must judge for themselves. It is admitted that previously in writing on the subject of the tariff it was intimated that the senate might put the bill through fairly quickly, because the senators are dead tired of talking. However, they seem to have taken a second breath and a second thought in the matter and the chances are that the debate will be long and perhaps be of a nature to admit of the use of the old-time expression "long and furious." It is understood that the wool schedule may cause trouble. In the Payne-Aldrich days the wool item was known as Schedule K, and the people heard and read more about Schedule K than they did about all the other schedules in the entire length and breadth of the customs measure. It was Schedule K which was productive of both acrimony and humor in the elder day of Mr. Payne and Mr. Aldrich, both of whom have gone to their reward. New Duty on Yeast Bread. It may be of interest to the agriculturists who have not seen the bill to know that there is a duty put on yeast bread, the first duty of this kind ever imposed. This is said to mean that a Canadian baker at Windsor, which is on the river just across from Detroit, and a Mexican baker on the border just across the Rio Grande, will find their products taxed 15 per cent when they cross the line into the United States. The house left bread free, just as it was in the Underwood law. The senate has made the change in this tariff. The house put a duty of 60 per cent on oatmeal. The senate has raised this duty to 90 per cent. The wheat rate is 5 cents more a bushel in the senate bill than in the house bill, the senate rate being 35 per cent. Under the present law wheat comes in free. Long staple cotton, which has always been free of duty, is assessed at 7 cents a pound. This is 8 cents less than the rate asked for by the direct representatives of the agricultural interests. Short staple cotton remains on the free list. The reason that a tariff debate lasts so long in the senate is that each section of the country is interested in some particular item in the bill, and as a result the senators representing the interested sections desire to speak at length on those things which concern their constituents.

ASSERTS RED ARMY IS READY TROTSKY DEFIES GENOA (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Moscow. — The developments at Genoa "having made it clearly evident" that the European diplomats have misunderstood "what has happened" there, said Leon Trotsky, the soviet war minister, "America's carefulness in remaining outside the conference perhaps was right, in that it gives America the possibility better to orientate itself and more correctly solve the problems which Genoa has presented." "I do not believe in intervention," he said. "If, however, it comes, the Red rmy will fulfill its duty." In his statement M. Trotsky broke the silence which as a matter of policy the most important soviet officials have maintained while the delegates have been in Genoa. In a frank presentation of Russia's position, in which he went deeply and concisely into the principles at stake, M. Trotsky declared he doubted the non-success of the conference would mean the beginning of military operations against Russia, but it would mean that the soviet economic work would progress more slowly than Russia had wished and than it might have done. "The leading European diplomats," he continued, "appear still to consider that the labor revolution in Russia is not the beginning of a new and historical world epoch, but a mere temporary change of one form of property for another. "They thought by force to induce us to the old form of property, but this failed, and now they are demanding that we pay indemnity for the revolution on the basis of the legal forms and calculations of capitalistic society. This is as foolish as if we should demand at Genoa that European capitalists, on the basis of our forms of property, should hand over their factories, works, banks and mines to the collective management of the working classes. "Collapse of the Genoa conference would mean not only retardation of Soviet economic work, but ruination of the economics of Europe would proceed more quickly than is believed possible by the present directors of Europe's fate. "Regarding France, it is evident to serious observers that she is approaching the greatest catastrophe in the world, which will begin with finance. The present French policy is a policy of despair. One cannot take it seriously into account, and, in any case, one could not follow it. "America remained outside the conference. Perhaps this carefulness was right, in the sense that America perceived the possibility better to orientate itself and solve the question more correctly. Naturally this solution is impossible on the lines Secretary Hughes tried to fix, that is, dictating to us which forms of property and what methods of legislation and management we ought to inaugurate in our own country. "For such advice and such counsel we did not and do not intend to go to Genoa, and even less across the ocean." Make Fast Flight in Army Airplane. San Diego, Calif.-Lieuts, J. H. Doolittle and L. I. Andrews, flying in an army airplane, made a fast flight recently from San Antonio, Texas. The start was made at 4:25 a. m., Pacific Coast time, and the airmen landed at Rockwell field at 4:55 p. m. Lleutenants Doolittle and Andrews made only two stops, at El Paso and Nogales. Those were for taking on fuel and consumed an hour, so that the actual flying time was about eleven hours. Both airmen received their early training here. Father Lets Son Go to Jail. New York.—Max Herzberg, a wealthy manufacturer, sat in Judge Rosalsky's court and saw his son Joseph, 21 years old, sentenced to three years in the penitentiary for the theft of $250 from the father. It was not the first time his son had stolen from him, the elder Herzberg told the court. The father sald his son had collected the money from some customers and eloped with Miss Laurette Holden, formerly a chorus girl. Farm Plantings Delayed by Rain. Washington.—"It's just one thing after another for the farmers in the Middle West," it was indicated by reports summarized by the weather bureau in its weekly weather and crop review. These reports for several weeks have said farm preparations were being delayed by rain, and now although the rain has stopped, the review said it "was mostly too cool in central and southern states for best germination and development of spring crops."

Who Invented the Hot Cross Bun? Many of our group probably believe that the Hot Cross Bun is of Christian origin or British invention. But the Hot Cross Bun was invented by Ethiopians who dwelt in the land of Cheml (ham) wrongly called Egypt. The Ethiopians were very much like the American Negro in looks. The black men offered these buns as to their favorite Moon Goddess for in those days Ethiopia had her own religion. The Greeks brought the custom with them when they immigrated to Greece, from Egypt, calling them Bouns. The Boun refers to the cross-like symbol with which the bun is marked to indicate the four quarttrs of the moon and does not symbolize the Christian cross.

THE ILLUSIONS OF CONTENTMENT THE RATHER trite suggestion of Shakespeare that "contentment is mortal's chiefest enemy," is of far deeper meaning and greater significance than would appear at a mere casual observance. Contentment is mortals enemy because it pre-supposes a passive acceptance of all surrounding conditions and implies non-resistance, no matter how prodding the circumstances may be. The world's progress has been a succession of eras of unrest, a continuing protest against established customs and existing conditions. Contentment then becomes the very antithesis of progress, the miasmatic pool of stagnation, the increment of decay. We are brought to this reverie just now by an apparent spirit of apathy that seems to have settled, like the pal of night over the Negro in many parts of the country, and notably here in Denver. That fighting spirit, that true, manly, indomitable fighting spirit that has ever bulked large as mile-stones upon civilizations highway, the fighting spirit that has harnessed natures elements and spanned continents seems utterly lost to us as a race. True, we have a few brave, stout hearted, outstanding figures who are valued exceptions to this rule, but they, too, often find themselves standing alone in crucial moments. There is no greater danger confronting us today than the possibility of general contentment becoming our common lot. It is the sleeping sickness of industry and initiative, and withers ombition as readily as it obscures opportunity. At present we have, as a part of our social system in Denver, two great organizations, the Denver Colored Civic Association and a virile branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Both of these organizations carry possibilities of inestimable good to the Negro, and should be strengthened by the active membership of a large majority of our race. Unfortunately, however, many of those who are loud in their protestations of love of race, fail to meet the real test when called upon, and seek to conceal their actual lack of race loyalty by an expression of contentment with conditions as they now exist. The Negro race has traveled a considerable distance in a comparatively short time, but he who is not willing to fight for more and fight hard if need be, is either a fool or a knave; in many instances both. He may be likened unto the indolent, contented personage who was seated in a decrepit wagon behind a spiraled runaway team. A friend yelled lustily for him to jump out. The answer came back that he would await until he was thrown out. We have many Negroes of this type in Denver, and their unsavory presence is being revealed at each succeeding effort at racial uplift. "Tis a pity that the face of the earth must be scouraged by such barnacles of society, for they add nothing to the success, the achievements and progress of the race, being in reality a hindrance and obstacle so long as they are lulled to silence by the shadowy illusions of contentment. FACING THE FUTURE. THE COLORADO STATESMAN'S position on all matters affecting the interests of our race, civil, political or otherwise, is so well known and so openly espoused that an added word is hardly needed from us. And yet we deem it the part of sound sense and good citizenship to occasionally offer a word of warning on matters political. We are rapidly approaching another state campaign. Candidates are announcing themselves and beginning the regular biennial scramble to absorb the spotlight in setting forth their especial fitness and qualifications for positions to which they aspire. And as we near the time when the responsibility of casting our ballots aright confront us, it is manifestly our duty to concern ourselves less about what the candidate claims and more about what he represents and pledges. There are some definite problems before the Negroes of Colorado of more or less serious 'import that can only be safeguarded by an intelligent and manly use of the ballot. First of all we are interested in good government, and good government rightly interpreted means the upholding and proper enforcement of ALL the laws on our statute books. There is not a single one of them in which we are not as vitally interested as any other people. In order to secure good government we must put good men and women in office. We are an integral, not a separate part of the great electorate of this state and therefore must assume our share of responsibility for the type of public officers that represent us. Our party allegiance is fully understood and faithfully adhered to when conditions will admit. But a party label is not at all times a guarantee of efficiency, nor even of fitness. There can be no denial that many evils creep into our governmental affairs through a careless use of the ballot. The one great bulwark of security to which the Negro looks with decided equanimity is the civil rights bill, a measure of such strength and effectiveness that a puerile attempt was made during the last regular session of the General Assembly to impair its provisions somewhat. May this not happen again and with a larger possibility of success if we are caught off our guard. There are insiduous enemies ever at work to strike at every opportune movement a deadly blow to anything that may be of aid to the cause of the race. Knowing this to be true, and no sane person will deny it, we must, by organized power and open inquisitiveness find out just who are our friends before voting this fall. How do you stand on the civil rights bill must be put squarely up to all candidates seeking our suffrage and any evasion in reply should be an instant signal for opposition voting. The Negro is carrying now a sufficiency of social, economic and civil burdens now and to lift them as soon as possible is our bounden duty. A rigid wielding of the weapon at hand, the ballot, will be our most successful means of elimination of these burdens. The evil forces of corruption and intrigue are powerfully organized and are ever at work. They do not even possess the virtue of the rattlesnake that will always sound a warning note before striking, yet their fangs are just as poisonous. What the Negro wants from this day on and must have, is justice and this can only be attained by fighting for it. We are not seeking a panacea for ills that affect us, nor are we seeking new rights. We simply want those ills removed by a proper protection of the rights already ours. For years we have noticed the coils of prejudice slowly but surely tightening around us. The process is becoming painful and while our arms are still free we must exert every ounces of energy to strike a deadly blow. We want and must have fearless leaders in party conventions. We want and must have outspoken and clean-minded leaders to confront and question candidates. We want and must have, not the senseless bigot who runs amuck yelling "Your house is on fire," but the able patriot, the manly Negro, who stands his ground and fights the fire until the last glow of its deadly embers have been extinguished. Consolidation of Railway Lines or Government Ownership and Operation By SENATOR ALBERT B. CUMMINS of Iowa. The interstate commerce commission is hearing the views of railroad officials and others on the various consolidation schemes which have been proposed to carry out the following provision of the transportation act of 1920: J. B. H. "A commission shall, as soon as practicable, prepare and adopt a plan for the consolidation of the railway properties of the continental United States into a limited number of systems." I predict that if we do not succeed in carrying out the principle of consolidation, which has already gone forward in a satisfactory way, it will presently begin to appear to all the people of the country that there is just one other solution—that is, government ownership and operation. And I want it to be understood that I am unalterably opposed to government ownership and operation of our railroads. The American railroad problem will never be finally solved unless all the railroads are consolidated into comparatively few systems, say, fifteen or twenty, and competitive in their character. I might add that there is no competition in the railroad world, and ought to be none, except the competition of good service. When that is done we can fix rates so that the lowest schedules that will sustain these properties as a whole may be established. There are new pending before congress, and especially in the senate, a great many bills which have for their purpose the modification of the transportation act of 1920 in vital respects. The farm organizations—and the farmers have my deepest sympathy because I know the hardships through which they are passing—demand the repeal of what is known as Section 15-A. This section provides that the interstate commerce commission shall consider transportation from a national standpoint; that we shall no longer attempt to regulate our common carriers by reference to the particular condition of any specific carrier. Some of the best people of the country impute to it all the ills which can flow from the most vicious legislation. But if I can prevent it, Section 15-A will not be repealed. ```markdown ``` Education in Industry Is Not a Function to Be Left to the Worker By W. D. SCOTT. President Northwestern University Education in industry is not a function that can be left to the worker. It is not a responsibility that can be shifted to the individual foreman and superintendent. It is not limited to such agencies as continuation schools and classroom instructions within or without the plant. Neither is it limited to the casual and incidental experiences that are had in the shop from day to day. Education in industry is progressing slowly, but in some firms it is provided for according to a plan formulated by an expert who attempts to utilize all the equipment and all the personnel of the plant and strives to provide an effective education for every employee of the company during the entire period of his service. The application of science in discovering effective methods of stimulating men has been much greater than we are able to appreciate at the present time. The teaching of modern psychology on individual differences has had immediate application. Psychology has emphasized the fact that individual differences are relatively small in our physical qualities and in all qualities which we share with the higher animals, but that individual differences are enormous in acquired traits and in the higher human qualities. The emphasis on individual differences has been of scarcely less importance than the emphasis on the complexity of each individual in his response to incentive to action. Every human being responds to an indefinite number of types of motivation. It is probable that no human being is enabled to make a maximum exertion unless he is moved by the simultaneous application of several motives. ```markdown ``` Two Kinds of Lawyers, Those of the Old School and Those of the New The profession of law can regain much that it has lost in the confidence of the public if lawyers will establish business methods and business systems and deal with questions submitted to them less as professors of law as well. There are today two kinds of lawyers, those of the old school and those of the new. The lawyer of the old type occupies a dingy, dark, dusty room in an unattractive building. The client and the book agent walk from the hall directly into his room. With the lawyer of the new school, it is different. Everything is clean; no dust is visible; no papers are exposed to view. The lawyer the client or prospective client came to see sits before a flat-topped desk that has no books on it and no papers, except those on which he is working at the time. An office boy brings in the papers that may be required and restores them to their file in the vault when they are no longer needed. There is no delay in finding the papers. In due course, within 30 or 60 days, the client receives a bill showing in general terms the services rendered. It indicates on its face that in making the charge the sender then had in mind just what services had been rendered, the time required, the importance of the transaction and the result accomplished. The fact that the bill was sent promptly and that the charge is fairly high does not in the least offend the client, because from his entrance into the building to the receipt of the bill he was impressed with the fact that the lawyer knew two things, his client's business and his own. The client "got service"—the thing he wanted above everything else—and is willing to pay the price.

There's no need to argue about it. Every man and woman blessed with a good mother knows it's true and knows why it's true. It doesn't take a very old child to understand either. OTHER'S Day should be celebrated 365 days in the year. There's no need to argue about it. Every man and woman blessed with a good mother knows it's true and knows why it's true. It doesn't take a very old child to understand, either. But, since human nature is human nature, every day isn't observed as Mother's Day. There is all the more reason, therefore, for observing the second Sunday in May—May 14, this year—with a real celebration. Someone has tried to figure out a real celebration after this fashion for sons: Wear a flower in mother's honor—a white one if mother is dead; a colored flower for a living mother. Send mother a box of spring flowers. Write her a letter—a long one. Give mother a whole day of your time for that "good visit" she longs for. Send mother your picture, and snapshots of your home, your children, your work. Tell mother your plans and ambitions—she made them possible. Tell mother your smaller troubles—she wants to help you. Thank mother for her care and her teachings—tell her how they have helped you. Don't forget that mother still likes candy. Mother was your first and truest sweetheart—don't forget to say "I love you!" For the daughters these things are suggested: It's your chance to say "thank you" to your best friend—your mother. Be sure to celebrate by wearing a flower for mother: White for mothers not living; colored flowers for mother still with you. Send mother some gay spring flowers, a brilliant bouquet or a thrifty plant. Make a dainty cap or a "dress-up" gown or shirtwalst as a love gift to mother. If mother is far away, send her a "special delivery letter" for her Sunday treat. Send mother the book you just enjoyed reading. Don't forget to send her pictures of yourself, your friends and your good times. Looked Bad for Client Looked Bad for Client Attorneys, in making an appeal to a jury in behalf of a client, frequently make assertions which give rise to laughter. There is hardly a jury trial that does not offer some such mirth. Recently in one of the Indianapolis Superior courts the introduction of evidence had been completed and one of the attorneys in the case arose to address the jurors. He spoke in this manner: "Gentlemen of the jury, the Tell mother your small joys and sorrows and ask her advice—it will be good. Ask mother to tell you about her girlhood—you'll both enjoy it. Mother is a girl too. She likes pretty things, love, laughter and compliments. Give her some. The spirit of this celebration is right enough. The letter of it fails. Nobody can tell you how to observe Mother's Day. You know. If she's a red carnation mother make her happy. If she's a white carnation mother, do something that would make her happy if she were a red carnation mother. Nobody can draw up a celebration schedule for Mother's Day. How can one, when nobody can find adequate words to write about Mother's Day? Mother's Day is something new in the way of holidays—not like Christmas and Easter which are old, old holidays. And it's new, compared with the Fourth of July. In fact, it's just about the newest holiday we have. It was no longer ago than 1906 that Miss Anne Jarvis of Philadelphia, honoring the memory of her own mother on the anniversary of her death, conceived of a day of which everyone should do reverence to his mother, whether living or dead. The World's Sunday School association adopted the plan, and, in the next few years, annually designated one Sunday as Mother's Day. The purposes of this celebration, as stated by Dr. George W. Bailey, then president of the association, were: "To recall the memories of the mothers that are gone, and through loving words and loving care to brighten the lives of the mothers that remain, and to help children, men and women to a greater blessing in honoring their fathers and their mothers. "To recall mother's prayers, mother's dying words, and the promises made to mother by the big boy that still mourns her, and to stop and think a little of what she was in her life to her family." In 1908 Miss Jarvis founded an organization now known as Mother's Day International association. The idea was taken up by the states. In 1910 the governor of Washington issued a proclamation designating May 8 of that year as "Mother's Day" and urged it be celebrated by special services and the wearing of a white flower in honor of all mothers. In 1912 the governor of Oklahoma issued a similar proclamation. National recognition was given Mother's Day by resolution of the Sixty-third congress, approved by the President of the United States on May 8, 1914, designating that the second position of my client in this case is identical with the preacher who was walking alone on a country road one day when he met a great, big grizzly bear." At this point the judge of the court turned and whispered to a bystander: "It looks like his client is going to be torn to pieces." Origin of a Marriage Trousseau.

Originally the white carnation was the flower worn in observance of the day. Then the public settled on white carnations for mothers dead and red carnations for mothers living; then on white flowers and colored flowers. Now the tendency is to wear "mother's favorite flower." The great of the world have been proud to pay tribute to mothers. Unhappy is the man for whom his own mother has not made all other mothers venerable.—Richter. A man never sees all that his mother has been to him till it's too late to let her know that he sees it.—W. D. Howells. If you would reform the world from its errors and vices, begin by enlisting the mothers.—C. Simmons. I think it must somewhere be written that the virtues of the mothers shall be visited on their children, as well as the sins of the fathers.—Charles Dickens. The loving sacrifices of motherhood must burn on the altar of undying faith. If I could bequeath but one priceless heritage to youth, it would be the ability to know the full measure of her love. Her influence is the most changeless thing in the fiber of a man's character. It outweighs arts, science, literature and philosophy, for her faith and works are better than all the wise man's knowledge.—Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman. Then there is the Gold Star Mother and the Mother in Time of War—oh, what's the use! But they do say in France that in the moment of his wounding the British soldier thought first of his sweetheart, the French soldier of his wife and the American soldier of his mother. Never mind who won the World war; there's glory enough for all. But history will record this fact: America showed the world in this soldier who thought first of his mother, a new kind of fighting man: He marched laughing to the front. Veterans pitted him as a mere youth. Children loved him as one of them. Women gave him smile for smile. The enemy found him terrible—a fighting man who could not be stopped. jewels to Rebecca as a seal to the marriage compact. A trace of the custom may be found among the early Eskimos, where the bridegroom must supply his bride with all the clothes necessary for the "honeymoon." In Rumania, clothes and shoes are a very important part of the gifts to the bride. Largely from the customs practiced in this latter country, but also from Italy, Sweden, and Greece, the idea of the marriage trousseau sprang. Be enthusiastic—it is contagious. WASHINGTON SIDELIGHTS Blanton of Texas Unpopular in House America Up in the Air Over Aviation America Up in the Air Over Aviation "Home Again, From a Foreign Shore?" "Home Again, From a Foreign Shore?" CLOSED BY ORDER OF SECY MELLON WASHINGTON. — Part of the bureau of engraving and printing, which was reorganized under an executive order by President Harding, removing James L. Wilmeth, its director, and other high officials, was ordered closed later by Secretary Mellon for an inventory of the stock, valued at many millions of dollars. Mr. Mellon's order applied only to the divisions of the bureau which handle the paper used in making bank notes, stamps and government securities, it being explained that a quicker and more accurate checking could be made by a temporary shutdown of all paper work. About 1,500 employees of the bureau force of 6,000 would ordinarily be af- THOMAS BLANTON, a Democratic representative from Texas, does not seem to be exactly popular with either side of the house. Representative Garner, Democrat, of Texas, declared in the house the other day that if permitted by the rules to speak what was in the minds of 434 of the 435 house members he would say that Representative Blanton of that state "is a disgrace to this house and ought to be kicked out." At the ouset of his speech Garner said that in this world there "are all kinds of liars, the artistic liar, the inartistic liar and the common liar." Representative Blanton, sitting a few feet away jumped to his feet and exclaimed: "And I will hold you personally responsible if you call me a liar." Garner did not notice the interruption, but Representative Summers, also of Texas, sitting nearby jumped to his feet and shouted "liar" at Mr. Blanton, at the same time starting in his direction. It was at this point that the sergeant-at-arms rushed in and Blanton retired from the chamber. Then there came from the Democratic side of the chamber a cry of "throw him out." WE WILL—and we won't—in aviation. The senate passed a resolution the other day which contains the following: "Whereas immediate and adequate consideration and development of the science of aeronautics is vital to the commercial and industrial expansion and to the protection and prosperity of the United States; and "Whereas it daily becomes more evident that if the United States is not to be completely outdistanced in the field of aeronautics, and is not therefore to be left defenseless, a separate school of aeronautics should be created and maintained or separate schools of aeronautics should be established in the United States Military academy LIQUORS having a value in the legitimate market of more than $300,000,000 and worth in bootlegger channels more than $1,000,000,000 shipped from the United States to foreign countries just before the Volstead act went into effect on January 16, 1920, will eventually find their way back to this country, under the provisions of the Willis-Campbell act passed by congress last November to supplement the national prohibition law, according to John D. Appleby, general prohibition agent in charge of New York and New Jersey. The passage of the Willis-Campbell law, which ostensibly was principally for the purpose of killing medicinal beer, has made it possible for the thirsty to be supplied with good liquors for a much longer period than appeared likely before the measure was adopted, prohibition officials here say. In some quarters the provision for the reimport of liquors is considered as a "joker" in the law. The law stopped the importations of liquors, and also the manufacture of spirituous liquor in this country save alcohol "until the amount of such liquor to in distilleries or other fected by the order, officials said, but about six hundred would be used as counters and all others having annual leave to their credit will be given the benefit of it. Secretary Mellon in a formal statement said: "The statements to the effect that a vast volume of duplicate bonds and other securities have been fraudulently issued and are in circulation are wholly without foundation. There has been no evidence developed of any such situation either in the bureau of engraving and printing or elsewhere in the treasury department." Following President Harding's declaration that the administration is conducting no drive on the civil service but is driving for greater government efficiency through the civil service, it was learned that some influential administration leaders plan to take many of the higher paid positions out of the fronclad jurisdiction of civil service regulations. All positions paying $3,000 or $4,000 or over, positions of an administrative nature, would be placed in one group. Employees below the higher figures would be in the same position they occupy today. which was picked up by other Democrats, and for a moment there was great confusion. Mr. Garner waited until quiet had been restored to proceed with his speech. "But I have in mind an individual—not a man—a creature who is the commonest, the biggest liar that ever spoke a word of English in this country. I have in mind a creature who would go to the stationery room and make inquiry about a whisky flask and then ask the superintendent to get him one from Philadelphia that he might parade it in Texas as an evidence of what congressmen get." The cause of the rumpus was several speeches by Blanton denouncing the stationery and mileage allowances of members as graft. and in the United States Naval academy: Therefore be it "Resolved that the secretary of war and the secretary of the navy are directed to report to congress (1) whether or not it is feasible and advisable to establish a school of aeronautics, to be known as the United States Academy for Aeronautics, with buildings, grounds, and equipment necessary for instructing and training cadets; (2) whether or not it is practicable to use a part of the buildings and grounds of the United States Military academy and of the United States Naval academy for separate schools in aeronautics, to the end that young men desirous of qualifying for commissions in the United States air service may be appointed as cadets to such separate aeronautical schools in the same manner as cadets are now appointed to qualify for commissions in the United States army and the United States navy; and (3) whether or not it is feasible to take over one of the existing navy yards or arsenals for the purpose of converting the same into a government plant for the development and manufacture of aircraft of various kinds suitable for national, commercial, and defense purposes." bonded warehouses shall have been reduced to a quantity that in the opinion of the commissioner will, with liquor that may hereafter be manufactured and imported, be sufficient to supply the current need thereafter for all nonbeverage uses." But it is provided "that the commissioner may authorize the return to the United States under such regulations and conditions as he may prescribe any distilled spirits of American produce exported free of tax, and reimported in original packages in which exported and consigned for redeposit in the distillery bonded warehouses from which originally removed."

Aa Re a SPN PIB ie ge Jel ae. oe i Making a Paper Uress Form. (Prepared by the United States Department ot Agriculture) Women in every part of the country who have heard of the gummed paper dress forms have been eager for direc- tions for making them, This form has been very extensively introduced by home demonstration agents of the United States Department of Agricul- ture and the state agricultural col- leges, as a part of the general exten- sion program relating to clothing to assist the rural woman with her sew- ing problems. So many requests for further information on the subject have reached the department that De- partment Circular 207, The Paper Dress Form, has been prepared and may be had upon request to the De- partment of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. Gummed Paper Pasted On. The foundation of the form Is a Gasoline or Other Grease Sol- vents Spread Spots. Departmert’ of Agriculture Recom~ mends Coating With Thick Solu- tion of Rubber Solvent That Evaporates Easily. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Leather goods that have been made unsightly by grease spots and that cannot be cleaned by ordinary clean- Ing solutions can often be restored by methods developed by the bureau of chemistry of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. When shoes, traveling bags, and similar articles come in contact with butter, lard, vaseline, linseed oll, salad oll, lubri- eating oll, or anything of the sume sort, ugly stains are produced, espe- cially if the leather is of a light color, and attempts to remove them with gasoline or other ordinary grease sol- vents result in spreading them. ‘The method recommended hy the de- partment consists in coxting the spots with a thick solution of rubber in a solvent that evaporates readily and peeling off the coating when it Is al- most dry. In some cases it may be necessary to repeat the operation sey- eral times. A solution of unvulean- ized rubber (Para or Ceylon) in car- bon bisulphide, in the proportion of 1 part to 10 parts by weight, as well as some of the prepared rubber cements, has been found satisfactory. It 1s important that the cement be very thick and quick drying, and that pure solvent be used. Since the fumes of carbon bisulphide are very inflam- mable and poisonous, it 1s necessary to work away from flames and where there is good ‘ventilation, To keep the rubber from adhering too tightly the leather immediately around the spot may be wet slightly just before applying the rubber solution. Milk produces spots on leather on account of the fat It contains. In addi- tion It often leaves a white residue, and sometimes a dark stain. ‘The white residue may be removed with soap and water, but no way is known for taking out the brown stain. ‘The only way to improve the appearance of leather so damaged is to dye it darker than the original color, Any oil or grease spot should be re- moved as soon as possible. It is espe- cially important that spots caused by linseed and other paint olls be re- moved before the oil dries, since the ssidized. oils are but slightly soluble in the liquids erdinarily used.

Fresh or cooked apples pe ti are equally wholesome, but are more digestible cooked. Lettuce and Apple Salad.—Take six tablespoonfuls of olive oll, two table- spoonfuls of cider vinegar, a table- spoonful of salt, a few dashes of white pepper and two tablespoonfuls of grated apple. Beat the oll, vinegar and seasonings until thick. Wash and dry the lettuce. Add the grated apple to the dressing just before serving. The same amount of grated carrot may be added with the apple and a bit of onion julce, for variety. Apple Fritters.—Take one cupful of flour, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of baking powder, two eggs, one-half cupful of milk, one- half cupful of sugar and three apples. Sift the flour, salt and baking powder together. Beat the eggs and turn them and the milk into the flour. Beat these together thoroughly. Dip slices of apple into the batter and fry brown in deep fat. Baked Apples With Nuts.—Peel and core as many apples as desired and place them in a deep pan with a heap- ing tablespoonful of sugar and one- half cupful of water for each apple. Place in the center of each apple a spoonful of chopped nuts and a strip of orange or lemon peel. Sprinkle with nutmeg or cinnamon and bake slowly until the Juice becomes jelly-like. Fried Apples.—Place a tablespoonful of butter in a frying pan; when hot fill the pan with apples cut Into eighths. Sprinkle with sugar and flour and let them brown, then turn and let them brown again. If pre- ferred, the apples may be cored, then sliced in rings. Leaving the skin on keeps the apple from breaking. Apple Cake.—Make a one-egg cake batter, pour into a pan and cover the top with quarters of peeled apple. Bake and serve with a brown sugar sauce for dessert or as a cake with coffee or tea at luncheon. “God bless the man who first invented sleep.”” 80 Sancho Panza said, and so say T And bless him also that he didn’t keep His great invention to himself. ‘And not go round advising, that arti- ficial cut off Early Rising.” MORE LUNCHEON DISHES For those who like tripe the fol- lowing dish will be enjoyed: mock Sweet breads. — Wash fresh tripe thor- oughly in several waters and put it Into cold water and boil until thoroughly soft and tender, as changing the water once; cut in dice. Make a rich thick sauce of white stock or milk, season with salt, paprika and a grating of nutmeg; add the diced tripe and pour very hot over rounds of toast. Garnish with small point of dry toast and sprinkle with a little chopped parsley over all. Smothered Lamb.—Line a mold with boiled rice, first buttering the mold thickly. Fill the cavity with finely-chopped lamb, seasoned with a little onion, salt, pepper, alittle chopped green pepper and moistened with a few spoonfuls of good stock. Cover the meat with a little more rice, pressing it down well. Set the mold in a steamer and steam three-quarters of an hour. Tip out on a platter and serve with tomato sauce. Boudins.—Chop beef, lamb or veal and mix with two well-beaten eggs, allowing one egg to each cupful of meat. Season highly with salt, pep- per, onfon juice and a little celery salt, Add a spoonful of stock. Put the mixture Into well-buttered timbal molds and set them into a pan of hot water in a moderate oven to cook un- til the eggs are set—about twenty min- utes. Turn out on a platter and serve with a rich tomato sauce. Potato Omelet.—Hash cold boiled potatoes very fine, add enough milk to moisten, season well and turn into a well-greased omelet pan.

There is an ever-increasing variety in clothes classed as "sports wear," and regulation sports suits are supplemented by many others, designed to serve, with equal propriety, for sports or for the street. Then there are those handsome affairs that dignify the mode by appropriating rich materials—as the velvet sports coat t is worn with a year, because there is no good reason why she should buy more. She undertakes to find one that will answer her needs for all usual occasions and, after thinking it over, her choice is almost sure to settle upon an ample coat of soft wool in a neutral or a dark color. With these essentials she has learned to demand good style. What she buys is really a between season's coat that may be helped out by an extra garment, worn under it, whor THE FASHION WEEK $ THE HOTEL Flannel for Sports Suits. sergo, linen or flannel skirts. It is a straw in a veering wind which late lately has blown quite steadily toward flannels for summer wear. Flannels are used in the "sweater colors" to make chic coats, to be substituted for sweater coats or sweaters. They have a downy texture that makes these joyous coats of many colors as flattering as candle light, and they fit in with summer backgrounds in a way to make glad the hearts of all outdooring women. Along with this colorful coat comes the skirt of white flannel—a natural affinity for it as well as for dainty sweaters. Fashion had only to took at these new arrivals, to greet them with a Featuring I I Featuring Wide Sleeves. smile, having already approved the union of the dark blue or black coat with a white skirt. Just a glance at this combination as pictured here, is enough to prove that it cannot be improved upon for style or economy, for it is as well adapted to the street as to sports wear. The dark blue coat proclaims its loyalty to the skirt by wearing white on pockets and collar, and in a white belt. It fastens with white pearl buttons. The average woman buys only one out for a season and perhaps for --- a year, because there is no good reason why she should buy more. She undertakes to find one that will answer her needs for all usual occasions and, after thinking it over, her choice is almost sure to settle upon an ample coat of soft wool in a neutral or a dark color. With these essentials she has learned to demand good style. What she buys is really a between-season's coat that may be helped out by an extra garment, worn under it, when the weather is cold, and its comfortable when it is merely cool. Designers understand so well the demands made on the coat for general wear that they begin by taking care of them. The tax on their ingenuity comes, in varying composition, details and decorating of models so as to give individuality and interest to them. It is to their credit that coats are so remarkably varied as they are, considering that the cape is the inspiration of the majority of coats for spring, including the handsome model shown in the picture. It features the wide sleeve, with lining of plain satin in a lighter color, and an appropriate embroidery, but the cleverness of the I designer triumphs in the collar. This is a deep puff of the material, brought up close about the neck by a long, covered cord that is threaded through supports of narrow silk cord, placed at intervals. This cord is finished at the ends with silk ornaments and becomes a trimming for the collar.
