LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY MADAM JESSIE ANDREWS ZACKERY SCORES TRIUMPH MADAM JESSIE ANDREWS ZACKERY SCORES TRIUMPH GREATER NEW YORK ADMITS CONQUEST AND BOWS TO SUPERIOR ABILITY OF WESTERN SONG BIRD. VOL. XXVIII. THE FIRST Sunday afternoon matinee recital presented under the auspices of the Holcornite Music Exchange, 2169 Seventh avenue, struck a high note of accomplishment. The artists were Mme. Jesse Andrews Zackery of Denver, coloratura soprano; Miss Sonoma Talley, pianist, and Master Errington Kerr, violinist. The accompanists were Alfred W. Ross for Mrs. Zackery and Miss Constance Kerr for her brother. While the audience was small, it was one of the most representatives gatherings of music lovers seen in New York during recent seasons. The rectal was held in St. Mark's Hall, 57 West 138th street, which has been newly decorated and painted and makes a pleasing setting for small concert groups. The work of the artists was of the highest order. The playing of Master Kerr, violinist, confirmed the impression formed from an earlier hearing that he is one of the most promising of the young race violinists of today. He is only 16, but he has acquired exceptional facility in finger technique and in bowing, and produces a solid and pleasing tone. Miss Talley, in her piano numbers, gave little evidence of the fact that she had played in a recital in Washington, D. C., on Saturday night, had been up until a late hour, or, rather, until an early hour Sunday morning, then, after a short sleep, had caught an early train out of the Capitol City to reach New York just an hour or so before appearing in this recital. Her's was an exceptionally brilliant performance, given with authority and definiteness. Mrs. Zackery won favor with her first number, and this was accentuated with each succeeding number. No singer in rectnt years has made an impression equal to that which has been made by this little lady from the Far West. Rich in temperament, vital in color and throbbing with life, her singing is always a delight and a joy. It may not be out of place to disclose here a signal honor which Mrs. Zackery has recently won. She is a voice pupil with Oscar Saenger, one of New York's most distinguished teachers of singing. Recently he secured an audition for her with Bruce Duffus, who was so pleased with her singing that he had her sing later for William Fox, head of the William Fox theaters, operating eight high-class houses in Manhattan alone, and his musical director. Again she made a favorable impression, and on Thursday evening, May 4th, was given a professional tryout at the Audubon theater, Broadway and 165th street, before an audience that filled the house from pit to dome. It was an unusual experience. A colored girl, without theatrical experience, before an immense white audience, sang the operatic aria, "Un bel di vedremo," from Puccini's "Madame Butterfly," in such manner as brought forth tremendous applause. Two other songs, "For You Alone" and "Kiss Me Again," added to her conquest and brought long and continued applause, acknowledged with bows and bows, but which was not satisfied until "Kiss Me Again" had been repeated. Following the success of this tryout she has al- ready been given a contract, at a substantial figure, to sing for three weeks in the Fox theaters in Greater New York, with further and more profitable engagements in the future. So far as can be learned, Mrs. Zackery will be the first colored girl to be placed on the New York stage singing operatic arias and classic songs.—New York Age. John Brown Anniversary Celebration At Lake Placid, N. Y., Great Success The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today made public a letter from Dr. J. Max Barber of Philadelphia, describing the celebration at Lake Placid, N. Y., of the 122nd anniversary of the birth of John Brown. Dr. Barber writes: "May 11, 1922. "Our celebration of the 122nd anniversary of John Brown was a tremendous success. I have attended most of the N. A. A. C. P. meetings and also the meetings of the Niagara movement prior to our present organization, and I do not hesitate to pronounce this as the most inspiring meeting we have had outside the meeting at Harpers Ferry. A thousand white people went out from Saranac Lake and Lake Placid as well as North Elba to the memorial services at the grave. One hundred and fifty automobiles were there. The public schools of Lake Placid took a holiday and the school children marched three and one-half miles to be there. The papers gave us great mention and the people spoke of it as an event long deferred which should have been before. "In our audience at the grave were a judge of the county, lawyers, doctors, teachers and school board members. The Chamber of Commerce sent a distinguished citizen to welcome us. Our pictures were taken by dozens of different people. School children begged us to pose for their civic classes. The town photographer had a movie camera and promised to get us for the Pathé News service. We held a beautiful wreath on the grave and I spoke from the top of a great rock overlooking the grave. "The people up there regard John Brown as a saint. A letter was read from one of Brown's sons. At night Barron Brewster, who was reared in Brown's family, spoke. Lyman Epps, the only colored man in town who knew Brown, was in a quartette which sang at Brown's funeral. He sang the same song Tuesday night, although he is more than 75. Dr. Burwell and I spoke to a crowded church at night. In fact, the church was so crowded that Mr. Brewster suggested adjourning to the city hall. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 20 1922 White Bank Backs Down on Policy Of Segregation Vice President Changes Attitude —Another Victory for N. A. A. C. P. The United States Bank at Fourteenth and You streets, which carries on deposit a great deal of money belonging to the colored people of Washington, was converted to a broader policy yesterday when it attempted to dictate to Mr. D. Carlos, the tenant in one of its adjoining stores, what color the persons must be whose shoes were shined in his shop. Di Carlos, a most gentlemanly and fair-minded Italian, rents from the United States Bank the adjoining store and carries on the business of shoemaking and shoe shining and who employs several colored men. A colored man was recently refused a shine in the shop and on investigation found out that Mr. Zepp, vice president of the bank, had told the proprietor of the business that the shining of any more shoes of colored persons would cause him to lose possession of his store. Mr. Shelby J. Davidson, the energetic executive secretary of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., was brought in the matter and he paid a visit to Mr. Zepp. Mr. Zepp was quite open in his admission that he had caused the order to be issued. He was not accustomed to seeing colored people and white people treated alike and together. As a matter of fact he himself was much chagrined to have to sit at times between colored people when he had his shoes shined. And as colored people were deprived of many of their rights in Washington and generally segregated, he surely thought that the policy should obtain in the bootblack shop. Mr. Davidson, however, gently but firmly and pointedly suggested that the many colored patrons of the bank who carried heavy accounts there might not agree with him in his opinion nor favor his attitude. A few hours later, after Mr. Zepp and the president of the bank had received several telephone calls of protest against such petty segregation and discrimination, Mr. Zepp underwent a change of heart (or of mind) and calling up a representative of the association advised him that the order to Di Carlos has been rescinded, and that colored people as well as white might have their shoes shined in the store, and offered his apologies to the colored people of Washington for misunderstanding them and their keen appreciation of their rights. And, so was a lion tamed.—Washington, D. C. American. CHURCH OF HOLY REDEEMER GIVES FINE PROGRAM. Under the direction of Miss Harnot M. Sanders, chairman of the music committee, Woman's Club of Denver, an exceptionally high-class program was rendered at the Church of Holy Redeemer last Sunday at 5 o'clock. It was the occasion of the regular vessers community service and a fine array of talented artists greeted the large audience that packed every available inch of the church. Every number was beautifully rendered and highly appreciated. Seldom, indeed does a Denver audience have an opportunity to hear a complete program of the distinct merit and class of the one given at Redeemer last Sunday. Bishop of Liberia Brings Plea for Loan Rt. Rev. W. H. Overs Fears British Encroachment Unless We Advance $50,000,000. New York, May 11.—Bringing an earnest plea from the people of Liberia that the proposed loan of $5,000,000 from the United States to that country be put through without further delay, the Right Rev. Walter H. Overs, Episcopal bishop of the Missionary Province of Liberia, Africa, arrived here Saturday. "It is greatly to be hoped that nothing will prevent the loan from being granted speedily, as American influence at the present time is very essential to the development of the Republic of Liberia as an African government," said Bishop Overs. "There are great possibilities in Liberia, and if Americans do not take advantage of them the English will," he continued. "It is to be feared Liberia will turn if this proposed loan is not made. "It is intended to use the whole sum for the improvement of the republic. This means good roads, better schools and enlarged and improved hospitals; but good roads particularly, since it is through them that the hardwood and rubber resources of the republic can be made available and the coffee, cocoa, tropical fruit and palm oil industries renewed and improved." Bishop Overs said that one of the great advantages of the loan would be that it would send to Liberia a group of twenty or thirty American experts in financial and industrial lines who would administer the loan and assist in the developments to which the loan is to be applied. N. A. A. C. P. Writes U. S. Senators on Kirvin, Texas, Burning at Stake N. A. A. C. P. Writes U. S. Senators on Kirvin, Texas, Burning at Stake James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, has written to the members of the Senate judiciary committee in Washington, in whose hands the Dyer anti-lynching bill now rests. Enclosed in his letter was a newspaper clipping containing the story of the burning at stake of three colored men in the public square of Kirvin, Texas. The letter to the senators read as follows: "I am sure that you do not require any further facts about lynching; that you are convinced of its infamy and want it abolished. However, I cannot refrain from sending you the enclosed front page from the New York Times of Sunday, May 7. "This fresh demonstration of inhuman cruelty and barbarism is added emphasis to the menace of the mob to all orderly government and the dire need for quick and effective action. The roasting alive of three human beings, one after the other, in a civilized country seems incredible. We ourselves would not believe it except for the positive proof that it did occur." "I wish also to call your specific attention to the short dispatch from Teague, which gives more color to the presumption of doubt of the guilt of at least two of the men as appears in the main part of the account." Negro Illiteracy North and South Reduced Twenty Per Cent During Last Decade. Washington, D. C., May 19.—The public schools of the South are making progress in eliminating illiteracy among the Negroes. The 1920 census showed about 300,000 less colored illiterates than that of 1910. In 1910 the percentage of colored illiteracy in the South was 33.3. In 1920 it had dropped to 26.3. This leaves 1,753,000 Negroes who cannot write. Georgia has the greatest number of these illiterates—261,115, a percentage of 29.1. Louisiana, with 206,730, had the highest percentage of illiteracy, 38.5. Other states which still have great masses of colored illiterates are Alabama, with 210,690, or 31.3 percent; Mississippi, with 205,813, or 29.3 per cent, and South Carolina, with 131,422, or 29.3 per cent. Every Southern state showed a marked reduction in illiteracy between 1910 and 1920. Every northern state also showed a decrease. This would indicate that the Negroes migrating were mostly able to read, otherwise they would have increased illiteracy in the North. The percentage of illiteracy among Northern Negroes is much less than among Southern Negroes, being 26 per cent in the South and 8 per cent in the North. Every Southern state also shows a marked increase in the proportion of Negro children in school. For the South as a whole slightly over half of the Negro children are reported in school, while in the North slightly over 60 per cent are in school. BOULDER, COLO., NEWS.

NO 31 Servants Are Remembered by Henry Watterson Louisville, Ky., May 3.—Col. Henry Watterson, great journalist, left an estate of $228,000, according to his will, which has been probated. Little was given outside of the family, but he did remember the colored help in this wise: $2,000 to James Wilson; $1,000 to Henry Wilson and $500 to Victor Wilson. But to the entire country, white and black alike, he left these brave words: "There is nothing I want for me and my family, I am not willing to accord to the Negro and his family." There is the solution of the Negro question in a nutshell. 1,717 Negroes Are In City Employ Philadelphia, Pn., May 8.—It is interesting to know the number of Negroes employed in the city of Philadelphia.

CHICAGO NEGROES COMPRISE PER CENT OF POPULATION. Chicago, Ill.. April 24.—Chicago's population will reach 4,000,000 by 1940, according to figures compiled by Ernest Thurston of the research department of the Bell Telephone Company at a meeting of the commission of the Chicago Church Federation recently. He said the average then in every 1,000 persons would be 290 native white of native born parents; 370 native whites of foreign born parents; 300 foreign born whites and 40 Negroes. This estimate is considered low for the Negro increase. WHITE WOMAN FIGHTS FOR ESTATE OF RICH NEGRO Mrs. Lena Fisher, a white woman of this city, claiming to be the adopted child of the late Basil Hill, a Negro, brought action in the County Court to recover the Hill estate which Hill had willed to certain of his personal friends because he had no legal heirs. Lawyer Blakemore represented the Hill estate, and Lawyer Cary, assisted by Lawyer Hipp (white), were counsel for Mrs. Fisher. Finding that they had no legal grounds on which to base their alleged adoption, counsel for Mrs. Fisher rushed to the District Court in an action for specific performance, at the same time seeking to enjoin the probating of the will. The judge listened patiently to argument on both sides and denying the request of Mrs. Fisher, on motion of counsel for the estate, ruled her out of court. OVER $500,000 TO TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. New York City, May 11.—Over a half million dollars will go to Tuskegee Institute by the will of the late Albert M. T. Mitchell, white, filed for probate last week.

The road has been opened to traffic already to a point fifteen miles above Estes Park, it was said. Hugo.—John Book, a farmer, was found guilty by a jury in the District Court at Hugo recently of involuntary manslaughter. He was alleged to have beaten 2-year-old Loraine Seger with a razor strop, inflicting injuries that caused her death. According to the testimony, the Seger child was teef with Book and his wife while the mother worked.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS New Rural Credit System for Farmers? U. S. Shipping Board Is Attacked Again "A 1922 Woman's Charter of Rights" "A 1922 Woman's Charter of Rights" Harding Favors Reclamation Projects Harding Favors Reclamation Projects RURAL CREDITS ing's recommendation to congress of legislation providing farmers with credit facilities as favorable as those enjoyed by commerce and industry may lead to the establishment of a rural credits system entirely independent of either the federal reserve system or the federal land banks. A new chain of banks, which would be linked up with a central corporation at Washington, to take the place of the War Finance corporation, is proposed. The system would be designed to furnish credits on agricultural products and live stock over periods ranging from six months to three years, which are not provided through the agencies which have al- CONGRESSIONAL investigation of the procedure followed by the United States shipping board in the settlement of claims growing out of wartime building contracts is demanded by Stiles E. Dodge of Cleveland, a special auditor of the board, who has been making a study of conditions in some of the Pacific coast shipyards. Mr. Dodge said he had discussed the matter with several senators and representatives and was going to fight to get all the facts placed before the public. One contention he makes is that he can show that overpayments made and contemplated on the Pacific coast involved from $8,000,000 to $10,000,000. He says he is prepared to go before a congressional committee and present his case. An investigation of the circumstances surrounding the release by the shipping board on April 19 of L. M. Stevens, acting general controller, is sought by Mr. Dodge. Mr. Stevens is from Pittsburgh, and Representative M. Clyde Kelly of Pennsylvania has written to President Harding for information concerning the removal of Stevens. "If the conditions which Mr. Dodge describes exist," said Representative CHARTER OF WOMEN'S RIGHTS MISS MARY WINSOR of Philadelphia, member of the National Council of the woman's party, is drafting a "1922 Woman's charter of rights." The rights which American women have not yet won, and are now demanding, will be listed in this charter, based on the charter of rights adopted by the first women's rights convention ever held in America, at Seneca Falls, N. Y., in 1848. The charter of rights for Twentieth century women will resemble the 1848 document to a large extent, according to Miss Winsor, since, of all the rights claimed by those earlier women, only one—the right of suffrage—has been completely secured. Some of the resolutions in the 1848 charter, which may find a place in the new woman's Magna Charta are: "Resolved, that all laws which pre- APPROVAL of President Harding for the McNary bill providing for creation of a $350,000,000 revolving fund to be used for development of Western and Southern reclamation and drainage projects, was given to a congressional delegation who called at the White House. Members of the delegation, which was headed by Senator McNary of Oregon and Representative Smith of Idaho said the President expressed deep interest in the legislation which is pending in both the senate and the house. Mr. Harding indicated, delegation members said, that he would confer with party leaders on the matter. The President was told that there was strong support for passage of the measure at this session of congress and that enactment of the bill would result in the reclamation of millions of acres of land and provide homes for thousands of people. A memorandum submitted by the delegation showed that under the reclamation act of 1902 approximately 8,000,000 acres of desert lands had been reclaimed, more than 40,000 families had been established on farm ready been established by federal legislation. That additional rural credits facilities are needed was urged in the report of the joint commission of agricultural inquiry, headed by Representative Anderson of Minnesota. The bill introduced by him in the house and by Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin in the senate, however, providing for credits of this nature through the federal land banks is meeting criticism. Objection is made to confusing this new type of agricultural credit with the long term loans on land which are provided by the federal land banks. A strong movement appears to be developing for the establishment of an entirely independent system. Schemes for the creation of a new system are contained in a bill recently introduced in the senate by Senator Simmons of North Carolina and also in another bill just perfected which was presented in the senate by Senator Norbeck of South Dakota and in the house by Representative King of Illinois. The Simmons bill creates what is called the National Agricultural Credits corporation, with a life of fifty years. CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION SHIPPING BOARD Kelly, "the facts should be known to the public. I do not want to take snap judgment, and I am going to wait and see what explanation is made. If I am not satisfied then, I shall introduce a resolution asking for an investigation." Mr. Dodge was with the shipping board during the war and for a time was controller for the Great Lakes district. He has not resigned his present position as a special auditor, and said today he did not intend to do so. When the attack made upon the board was called to the attention of Chairman Lasker, he said the facts would show that the actions of the present administration of the shipping board in the settlement of claims were not properly subject to audit. vent a woman from occupying such a station in society as her conscience shall dictate, or which places her in a position inferior to that of man, are contrary to the great precept of nature and therefore of no force or authority. "Resolved, that the women of this country ought to be enlightened in regard to the laws under which they live, that they may no longer publish their degradation by declaring themselves satisfied with their present position nor their ignorance by asserting that they have all the rights they want. "Resolved, that the same amount of virtue, delicacy and refinement of behavior that is required of women in the social state should also be required of man, and the same transgressions should be visited with equal severity on both man and woman. "Resolved, that the equality of human rights results necessarily from the fact of the identity of the race in capabilities and responsibilities. "Resolved, that the speedy success of our cause depends upon the zealous and untiring efforts of both men and women for the securing to woman an equal participation with men in the various trades, professions and commerce." $350,000,000 FUND FOR RECLAMATION Approved land and the national wealth had been increased approximately $600,000,000 and foodstuffs valued at $150,000,000 raised each year on these various projects in 14 states—all at an expenditure by the government of approximately $130,000,000 from the fund created from the sale of public lands and from land fees of various kinds. President Harding was said by his visitors to favor passage of the legislation during the present session. The most difficulty, it was said, was expected in the house, and the President promised to confer with members of the house Republican steering committee and urge them to press the bill at this session.

A hunter shot a mallard that fell upon land and on going to retrieve his prize, found the wounded bird had been attacked by an Arctic owl, whose wing spread was six feet. Instead of flying away upon the approach of man, the owl clapped its big beak viciously and flapped its wings in defiance. As the hunter advanced the owl dashed at him and for several minutes there occurred a terrific fight. In the end the owl had to be shot twice with the shotgun. JOBBING PROMPTLY ATTENDED TO P. H.

In picturesque Batavia there is an ancient piece of ordnance half-buried in the ground, which is known as the "Holy Cannon." This is considered particularly sacred by the natives. At the breech of the cannon there is a casting of a man's wrist and hand, closed tight. This symbol is regarded by the superstitious natives as a species of god, and worshiped accordingly. Childless women sit beside it, fully believing that their prayers for a family will be heard and granted. Pointer for the Baby The nurse was in the room with the new baby. She heard Bobby softly enter and saw him stand by the crib watching with considerable interest the new baby using his lungs. The baby was a strong little fellow and he cried louder and louder.

MUSIC HATH CHARMS. HIS has been a remarkable week in Denver. Musie’s magic wand, wield- Ta by the sweet patroness St. Cecelia has held all Denver in a charm of melody never before known to an American city. It is recorded of the beautiful St. Cecelia that she even enticed an angel from the celestial realms by her melody and enchanted all who approached her. Music has been rightly termed the language of the gods, the speech of angels and the joyful nymph of pleasure. It penetrates all hearts and is the carefree companion of all races and of all ages. It is defined as an art, and unlike the cold, calculating agencies of science, its secrets are revealed to all people to a more or less extent, Denver has been the scene of many rare and attractive festivals in the past, but none have been so full of blessings, none so humanizing, none so calculated to arouse the general appreciation of the entire populace as the present festival of music. ‘This has now become an annual institution in which musical talent and proficiency is brought to the fore that might other- wise be stunted for lack of opportunity. Musical genius is born, not made, and may find lodgment as readily in the appealing soul of a “Blind Tom” or “Blind Boone” as in the heart of a Beethoven or Mendelsohn. Musie week with its varied programs, participated in by all, is certain to bring about a better brotherhood, a more kindly regard for fellow beings. The more music we have the more elevated the general thoughts and ideals of the community. It breathes and gives life to the purest democracy, its benefits being carried into many of those out-of-the-way places this week into which it would otherwise seldom penetrate. The entire thought, purpose and influence of Music Week are uplifting and helpful. It cleanses the mind and warms the emotions of the heart. It teaches the one thing most needful now in all our human relations—harmony, And Denyer, as well us all of Colorado, will be infinitely happier and better for this one week of harmonious concord of the forces before which language fades and the heart trembles. With a saxaphone band here, a col- ored glee club there, a Swedish chorus yonder, and myriad radio concerts everywhere, all with infinite detail, it is fitting that we should rejoice and give thanks to those whose tireless energy made this event possible, DISRESPECT FOR LAW. N EVENT of unusual interest and significance took place in Denver A Monday afternoon on the oceasion of the dedication exercises of the new West Side Court building at West Colfax and Kalamath. A notable gathering ef Colorado lawyers, eminent jurists and practically the entire per- sonnel of the Colorado Supreme Court, as well as representatives from all city and county administration took part in the services. All deplored the great wave of crime sweeping over the land and Iaid it at the door of a growing disrespect for the law. As might be expected, the immediate ve- hicle toward which the remarks were directed was the eighteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, and the almost countless infractions it suffers every day, ‘The law was pointed to as one which the rich and Influenial felt free to violate with absolute impunity. One speaker, in an impressioned outburst, declared that “disrepect for one law would ultimately Jead to disrespect for all law.” This is a terse statement of the situation and extremely needful at this time, but is by no means Mw. We have been told that “a little child shall lead them, and as the Negro has been termed, erroneously of course, the child race of America, it is Significant and worthy of note that the Negro press and pulpit and platform has been preaching this very thing for lo these many years. And our preachments have been against abusive violations of amendments, every whit as sacred as the eight- centh, We hold no brief for the moonshiner nor for his necessary ally, the Lootlegger, nor for the rich and influential, who make their incursions profi- table, But we submit without apology that they are in no sense more culp- able than the senator or representative who holds n seat in Congress through © wilful and criminal violation of the election laws in the Southland, And certainly not as bestial as the lyncher or mob fiend who plys his murderous trade on helpless Negroes, Why all this hysteria about the eighteenth amend- tment any way? What mantle of sanctity surrounds it? ‘There is hardly a gathering of legal luminaries in America that does not call forth loud acela- mations against fts flagrant violations, and yet lynchings go on with un- interrupted fury, while open faced violations of the. civil and political lib- erties of Negroes are a matter of daily record. Thus in sowing the wind the American public has laid the ground work for reaping the whirl wind. And the American white man can save himself from utter chaos, not by ad- Yocating ‘greater respect for one law, but by demanding respect for all law. Then is neither justification nor reason in law enforcement being sectional in character and until this fact is settled in the hearts of courts, juries and barrister, a general disrespect for the law of the land remains inevitable.

SES ESOS ES OSE SESE SESE SoS eS eS noes ese cons es eses eons CoRSEuDS EOS SESESESESE The Purposes of the Farm Bloc in Congress Are Economic, Not Political é “class legislation, and that its aim is to profit agriculture, no matter at what cost to other industry. The men who make that charge lose sight of the fundamental fact that agriculture is basic, that what contributes to its prosperity and well-being unquestionably benefits all industry. ‘When ag- riculture is profitable the nation is prosperous, It is not class legislation to demand that agriculture have as good credit facilities as any other business; that farmers be encouraged to work together to improve their marketing condition; that the, market gamblers and speculators and the selfish class which has grafted off of the farmers for many years be unmasked and controlled. The farm bloc does not recognize the right of any class to have an advantage at the expense of another group or of the population as a whole. The interests which oppose it fight the farm bloc because it does not toler- ate their pet piracies. Vested interests have been bloodsucking the farmer long enough. The purposes of the farm bloc are economic, not political. It is striving for a more sensible program of national development in which agriculture will oceupy its rightful position and be accorded the interest it deserves. Its aim is to bring about a better understanding and greater co-operation among all worthy elements of the population, to the end that all may be aided; and it will fight, and fight hard, to accomplish that aim. I know that congress and the administration are in sympathy with the needs of agriculture. That is why so much already has been accom- plished, and why so much more will be done. eo eS eS e Seo eo coe ee oe oe eee ooo oes eo esos eS e See Seo eo es eSeSeSesesesese | College Should Be the Place Where Respect for the Law Is Developed By DR. ROBERT J. ALEY, President of Butler College. I believe college should first of all be a place of scholarship. I believe our colleges get their support from public and private sources solely be- cause scholarship is the purpose and dream of the American college. It seems to me there are many things going on in the life of the American people everywhere that would convince us that the ideal of scholarship in our colleges is not as big an element as it ought to be. The search for truth that should be the business of every college should develop faith and reverence for truth. The American collegg, be- cause of the faith people have in it and because of the ideals for which it stands, is in the public eye more than any other single institution in this country. ‘The college ought to be the one place above all others in which respect for the law is developed. Part of our crime is due to the fact that some cultured people take a peculiar attitude toward the law. They observe come laws and violate others. A violation of any law breeds contempt of all law. I believe the college has it in its power to remedy this condition to a large extent by inculcating a reverence for law, whether it be the law of the institution or of society. : People Interested in Health Largely Because They Are Afraid to Die By DR. R. H. RAVENEL, Nat'l American Public Health Ass’n. SS ST RISE 2 fe Americans live too hard and too fast. The chances of death after fifty years of life are increasing instead of decreasing. In the last twenty years the death rate during the first five years of life has been greatly lowered, but for the later years of life it has not. It is poor economy to educate and train business men and women only to lose their services to the com- munity and state when they reach middle life. People are interested in health largely because they are afraid to die. ‘The true motive for health should be efficiency and not the mere prolonga- tion of life. The results obtained by our census bureau show that the death rate at practically all ages is higher for men than for women and the women showing the lowest death rate are those living in rural communities. For both sexes rural dwellers show a lower death rate, age for age, than for persons living in cities. Comparing ourselves with the following foreign countries, Australia, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Holland, India, Italy, Japan, our expectation of life both for men and women is less favorable than in any of the foreign countries mentioned. a a ae sae ese eee esas eee eee eee See ee Ses ese seseSese Via Radio Every Schoolhouse in the Nation Can Become a College . ! Bringing lectures of leading professors of the world’s greatest uni- versities to the little red schoolhouse by wireless telephone—this is but one of the developments of the near future. Every schoolhouse in the country can become a college. Boys and girls can receive lectures via radio on various subjects, may take examinations and receive diplomas. - ‘This can be done in the school or it can be done in the home.

About 200 persons responded to the invitation and pased an evening of unusual enjoyment. The Men's Club of the Church of the Redeemer met in its regular monthly session with Dr. E. F. Cantey, Wednesday night. Rev. E. M. Cohron, pastor of the New Hope Baptist Church, was the speaker of the evening and delivered a strong address. As a penalty for losing a ball game the Bom Viviants entertained the boys of the Thirteen Club to a swell stag, last Saturday night at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Roy, 3032 Columbine street. The pleasures of the evening suggested another ball game between these famous warriors which may come off soon. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Burton, 2425 Humboldt street, gave an elaborate six course dinner party, Wednesday, at 6 o'clock, complimentary to Dr. H. W. Jamison of Peoria, Ill., National Grand Master of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. Those enjoying the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Burton were Maj. Thos. Campbell, Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, Dr. Jamison, E. V. Cammel and Geo. W. Gross. THE COLORADO STATESMAN is in receipt of a very interesting letter from Prof. Geo. Morrison and his famous orchestra and entertainers, who are this week stationed at Juarez, Old Mexico. They have made good wherever they stopped, and especially in Juarez, where race prejudice is unknown. Leaving Juarez they go direct to Los Angeles, then to Frisco and on to Honolulu. It is a wonderful trip for Mr. Morrison and party, and we congratulate them upon their success. At a meeting of the executive committee of the Denver Branch, N. A. A. C. P., last Saturday night, Mrs. Mildred Westbrook was selected as delegate to represent the Branch at the annual meeting of the association to be held at Newark, N. J., next month. Mrs. Westbrook has been a tireless worker for the association and as colonel of the membership campaign reported a grand total of $1,056.75 secured under her direction this year. It is by far the greatest effort ever put forth by the Denver Branch. The drive will continue until about June 10. SHORTER CHAPEL NOTES.

Bailey, member of the Colorado Supreme Court and a distinguished pioneer jurist, died suddenly at his home, 2230 Ivanhoe street early Tuesday morning. Justice Bailey was regarded by the leading members of the Colorado Bar Association as one of the clearest-minded jurists of the times. He possessed a keen, analytical mind, warm and unswerving in his friendships and was regarded as the ideal type of an American citizen. Flags at the state house were lowered to half mast and on various other public buildings. U. B. F. AND S. M. T. BANQUET DR H. W. JAMISON, NATIONAL GRAND MASTER. Dr. H. W.

A special meeting of the Denver Colored Civic Association was held on Wednesday evening at Odd Fellows Hall to hear the report of the directors of the Denver Colored Civic Building Association, and to adopt the constitution and by-laws of the same. The constitution and by-laws were read by the secretary, Mr. O. L. Lawson, after which it was moved and carried that the same be adopted by sections. The constitution and by-laws were finally adopted as presented by the committee, after which the following members responded with their subscriptions, which were pledged at the previous meeting: Mr. James G. Adams.....$100.00 Paid Mr. C. A. Burton.....100.00 " Mr. Thos. Campbell.....100.00 " Mr. John Levell.....50.00 " Mr. Amos E. Elliston.....50.00 " Mr. Titus S. Rector.....30.00 " Mr. Jas. C. Cooper.....25.00 " Mr. S. E. Cary.....20.00 " Mr. W. G.

E. Terry, Mr. R. J. VonDickersohn, Mr. A. E. Elliston, Mr. C. E. A. Starr. There was an enthusiastic attendance of the loyal members who are determined that we shall have a colored civic building in Denver. The association was honored with a visit and an eloquent and encouraging and most helpful address from Dr. Jameson, national grand master of the U. B. F.'s and S. M. T.'s, who is a guest of Mr. E. V. Cammel, state grand master. Dr. Jameson is a real race leader, fully equipped in every way to lead such a great organization as the U. B. F.'s & S. M. T.'s. After Dr. Jameson spoke, timely speeches were made by Messrs. Recor, Price, Chapman and others. Through the untiring efforts of Mr. Chas. A. Burton, chairman of the membership committee, ten new members were added to the rolls of the association. The meeting was then adjourned to meet June 7, 1922. DAVIS-PRICE NUPTIALS. Wedding bells rang out Thursday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Clinkscale when Miss Josephine Davis became the bride of Mr. William Price. Miss Davis has for several years been the very efficient and loveable secretary of the Phyllis Whentley Y. W. C. A. and has won to her a host of admiring friends who join in the wish that a happy married life awaits her. Mr. Price has long been in the service of the C. F. & I. Co. and not only enjoys the high esteem and confidence of his employers but shares the warm regard of a very large circle of friends. They will reside at 1750 Humboldt street. THE COLORADO STATESMAN extends hearty congratulation and trusts that their life's voyage may be one of uninterrupted bliss. A large number of friends witnessed the ceremony and the presents were many and beautiful. THE INSIDE STORY. This is a day in which OPPORTUNITY walks among us like a COLOSUS—but not many are aware of it. It is a day in which FORTUNE stands at the elbows of the MULTITUDE—but its presence is known only to a few. It is now as it has always been. FATE is the servant of FAITH and VISION. The E. F. ALLINGHAM MFG. COMPANY has an IDEA—worth money. The man ALLINGHAM talks little his IDEA much. Indeed, it makes a PIKER out of a CIRCUS BARKER. THE IDEA itself is in bone and tissue, a consummate expression of HORSE SENSE. It actually gets one in a corner, pleasantly figuring up prospective profits. You will admit an idea has to go some to make SENSIBLE PEOPLE do that. By this time, you are asking what the IDEA is. This is the answer. MR. ALLINGHAM has perfected a FOOD CONFECTION which should sweep the country like that familiar friend "ESKIMO PIE." It will appeal to the children and grown ups equally. It is a wonderful food, as well as an appealing, sugary confection. This confection has been given a thorough test, not only with the consumer but with the retailer and wholesale dealers. It has everywhere met with instant approval—we actually have orders from the wholesale dealers for hundreds of cases of Bingo—and we know absolutely that we can sell up to capacity as soon as our factory is in operation. The entire capacity of the Colorado factory will be from 200 to 400 cases daily. THE E. F. ALLINGHAM MANUFACTURING COMPANY, a Denver concern, offers to the citizens of Denver through the columns of The COLORADO STATESMAN this week an unusual opportunity for a safe and profitable investment. We would especially call attention to their statement in another column that speaks for itself. This company with its solid financial backing and conservative management cannot fail to appeal to those of our people who are seeking a safe investment of their funds. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of my dear husband, who departed this life May 19, 1919. HENRIETTA FOSTER. DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING CO. FUNERAL NOTICE. Gilbert—Worthington Gilbert, late of New York City, and more recently of Washington, D. C., a member of Monarch Lodge No. 45, I. B. P. O. E. of W., New York City, died en route to Denver aboard R. I. train May 17, 1922. Funeral arrangements not complete. Now that the board of directors are working on plans and details preparatory to going out after money for our long-desired and greatly-needed new building, we are again urging our men whose membership expired several months ago to renew them again right away, or as soon as possible. Whenever the appeal is made, it can be made all the stronger if it can be said that the branch has a paid-up membership of say 400 or 500. The importance of this can scarcely be made strong enough, and certainly be overstated. We hope, therefore, that our men, seeing the importance of it, will readily and willingly renew their tickets and will not complain or "knock" when some one comes around asking for their renewal or for their first membership. Great credit is due Mr. Townsend and his boys' work committee for the splendid "circus" which they pulled off at the city bath house last Wednesday evening. About 200 persons attended the affair, and expressed themselves as highly pleased with the program. And rightly so, too, for there was not a dull moment from the opening of the program until the last number was announced. The boys who made up practically all the performers, gave a good account of themselves. Attention now turns to the annual outing and field-day program at the Rocky Mountain Lake park on Decoration day. Plans are being made to make this one of the best ever. Already many of the prizes are in for the "hike" races. The women under the leadership of Mrs. Graham have perfected their committee for that day. Mason is out of practice as a croquet player, but he trimmed Blakemore in their playing last week. That puts Blakemore considerably behind for the season. Orton has developed rapidly also and defeated Dr. Stripling in their playing during the week. King is aching to get hold of Sims, whom he has not played for a long while. Sims is now leading Stripling by fifteen games. Blakemore "cleaned up" for Haynes in checkers last Monday evening. Haynes says he is "coming back soon," so Blakemore had better "look out." A good program is in preparation for tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. The meeting will begin at 4 o'clock. All will be welcome. CHEYENNE, WYO., NEWS Robert, 4-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Clinton of 1710 Snyder street, was called by death Monday afternoon, May 8. Funeral was held at the A. M. E. Church. Rev. J. M. Endicott officiated. Rev. R. L. Pope, presiding elder of Rocky Mountain district A. M. E. Church, was in this city Tuesday, May 16, called here to adjust a question of fundamental law governing the powers of A. M. E. Church trustees. Rev. J. M. Endicott has tendered his resignation as pastor of Allen Chapel because the majority trustees refuse to recognize the law for government of the official board. Section 4, article 2, page 240 of A. M. E. discipline heads, Tr" (the official board) "cannot overrule the pastor, or reverse his decisions, or change his plans for the government of the charge." When the news of Rev. Endicott's resignation was heard on the streets and in homes of our people Wednesday morning, profound sorrow and regret was expressed by all who know and appreciate the Christian character of the reverend gentleman. It was hoped and expected that those trustees who in past years have stood staunch friends of the church laws and rendered well their trust would admit in public on Tuesday evening that they understood and would respect the law for government of the official board. The fact that they refused to do so, was the cause of the resignation of one who had and still has the respect of the Christians of all denominations and a vast number of friends who have learned to love and respect his advice. God speed Rev. Endicott. You have done all that becomes a man. Who does more is none. Rev. Endicott will remain at his charge until another parson is appointed. Rev. C. A. Miller and wife are guests of the city and are assisting Rev. Whitten in conducting a ten days' meeting at the Second Baptist Church. Rev. and Mrs. Miller are en route to Los Angeles, Calif.

CIVIL SERVICE IS CONCERNED Administration Maintains Silence; Secretary Mellon Disclaims Responsibility and All Guesses So Far Have Seemed to Be Incorrect. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—According to the viewpoints of protectionists and free traders or near free traders, the tariff is either a blessing or a curse, a tax or a reward. This year the tariff according to everybody's viewpoint is pretty much of a puzzle. The bonus, which also according to the viewpoints is a blessed thing or a blameworthy thing, also is much of a puzzle. The tariff and the bonus, therefore, are twin puzzles confronting the majority in congress for solution. The tariff with all its intricacies and with all its uncertainties arising out of lack of definite knowledge of economic conditions in Europe, and the bonus with all its perplexing features, are as nothing in the way of a puzzle to something of which the world already knows and which happened recently in the bureau of engraving and printing. It is the chief puzzle of them all and members of congress are not alone in trying to find an answer. All Washington is interested, and to a considerable extent all the country is interested. Certain it is that there is concern among the federal employees everywhere throughout the country in this recent happening. Time in its passing has not carried away with it interest, suspicion and some other things connected with the discharge a while ago of thirty-one employees of the bureau of engraving and printing. Some few of these discharged ones have been reinstated. The others still are minus their jobs. "The Hidden Mystery." To this story there well might be transferred the title to a book which was circulated during the war and which occupied the attention of certain officials of government. This book was called "The Hidden Mystery," although why it was necessary to use the adjective "hidden" before the word "mystery" no one seems to know. Officials of the government, including the President of the United States, have had their attention called sharply to the so-called hidden mystery of the bureau of engraving and printing, and in a way probably not altogether to the liking of these officials, high and low. Washington is trying to find an answer to the question: "Why were thirty-one employees of the bureau fired by executive order?" A dozen or so answers, more or less haphazard, have been made to the question by persons who think they know and by others who give answers for the sake of getting mental employment and for nothing else. There was a rumor at first that there had been in the bureau a duplication of government securities, to the possible resulting loss of security holders. Then there came the flat statement in denial: "Nothing to it." Then it was guessed that labor union and anti-labor union activities within the bureau had caused dislocation of the machinery of orderly procedure. Mayhap there is something in this and then again mayhap there is nothing in it. Other answers have been advanced and one of them, of course, is that the discharges resulted from the desire of the party in power to open the higher civil service positions in the various bureaus of government so that a ready approach might be offered by this administration or any other administration to men and women to whom the wish was to give employment. Administration Says Nothing. The administration has kept entirely silent on this dismissal matter, and so have the officials of the department in which the bureau has a place. In fact, Secretary Mellon of the Treasury department, which has jurisdiction over the bureau of engraving and printing, did not know that the dismissals were to be ordered. Apparently the whole thing was done through the Department of Justice. The natural conclusion, of course, was that the politicians wanted the places for favorites of theirs, but inasmuch as virtually every vacated place has been filled by promotion, a good deal of the edge has been taken off of this charge. It is known that for years some of the cabinet officers of the various administrations have held that as a rule not as much work can be got out of civil service employees as out of the men and women whose positions are not so guarded. There has been a lot of criticism of the civil service recently, and some officials here say there is only one way in which the civil service may be maintained, and at the same time there may be maintained with it efficiency in the offices where the employees whose places are safeguarded are at work. The proposed solution is the appointment of men who are known as business managers as the chiefs of all bureaus of government, men who will be unafraid to see to it that their subordinates, whether of civil service or not of civil service ap- pollutment, shall give an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. Foreign Honors Bestowed on Many. Thousands of American civilians and soldiers are wearing today buttons or ribbons showing that they received foreign decorations for valor or service during the great war. Uncle Sam's servants that is men who are in his employment in any public capacity, must get the permission of congress before they can accept from the hands of any foreign government or king a gift of any kind. The acceptances of military decorations given for service in the great war were authorized by congress. An American in civilian life is not compelled to get the congressional permission to accept a foreign decoration or a foreign gift. Over in the State department there is a curious collection of odds and ends of gifts and decorations which were sent in other days to Americans in official life who never were given permission to accept them. There are a few members of congress today to whom certain things have been offered by foreign governments, but who as yet have not received permission to wear them or use them. In an elder day congress at intervals would give leave to several army and navy officers and a few civilian employees of the government to accept gifts from foreign potentates. Congress always was rather chary about taking this action, but on occasion when it was shown that some men really had won the decorations or deserved the gifts and that there was no political or diplomatic intention in their conferring, congress would relent. Mr. Root Called Them "Gentlemen." When Ellhu Root was secretary of state he did something which was regarded as curious. In a communication to congress asking permission to turn over to waiting ones some of the decorations of foreign governments intended for them he asked leave "that certain gentlemen be authorized to accept orders from foreign governments." Ordinarily the officials of the State department were content to speak collectively of those of whom they were writing as "persons," but Mr. Root for some reason or other inserted the word "gentlemen" for "persons." Congress made somewhat merry at the time over the distinction which Mr. Root made without probably intending to make any at all. The trouble was that the secretary of state did not include in his request the names of all those who had been offered presents by foreign governments, and the entirely gratuitous assumption was that those whose names were not mentioned were not gentlemen. Since the day that the United States became a world power every nation on the face of the globe has sought to give its officials presents of one kind or another. Once on a time the emperor of Ethiopia was one of the monarchs to come bearing gifts. It was his desire to present a ribbon, a pin and a star, the symbols of an order which has existed since the day of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, to R. P. Skinner, one-time consul at Marseilles. Permission Often Long Delayed. Permission Often Long Delayed. It took King Edward VII of England a long time before he could get permission from the American congress to give a silver ink stand to George H. Bridgman, then American consul at Kingston, Jamaica, and a silver writing set to Arthur M. Beaupre, who was then United States minister to the Argentine republic. Edward also had at one time in stock a large number of souvenir coronation medals, a few swords and several watches which he wanted to hand over with the expression of his kingly regard to American army and navy officers and to several lighthouse keepers who owed allegiance to this republic. It took Edward a long time to have his kingly way in the matter. The shah of Persia had to wait two years before he was given leave to present a diamond snuff box to Richmond Pearson, who at one time was our minister at Teheran. The kledge of Egypt wanted to bestow on Ethelbert Watts the decoration of the Order of Osmanie, but there was a delay of several years. A good many years ago an emperor of China picked out twenty Americans whom he wished to honor with the decoration of the Double Dragon. Congress allowed a score of its country's citizens to receive the decoration, but if the truth must be told it should be set down that these decorations were generally known as belonging to the second class of gifts. In other words, the emperor was not paying a full compliment to the twenty selected Americans when he conferred the Double-Dragon upon them. Perhaps the Triple Dragon would have been better. Cocoa Production Increases. During the last hundred years, cocoa production has gone forward by leaps and bounds, principally on account of increased demand. It is quite true that improvements have been made in methods of cultivation, as well as in the preparation of the raw beans, but this has been done with a view to obtaining more cocoa, not better cocoa. While, at the beginning of last century, a trifling quantity sufficed to meet the world's need, now more than $850,000,000 pounds of cocoa beans are used every year.

HARDING URGES AMERICAN MARINE PRESIDENT DECLARES THAT COUNTRY IS ON THRESHOLD OF NEW ERA. TRADE REVIVAL NEAR CHIEF EXECUTIVE SAYS NORMAL WORLD TRADE DESIRED ON SAFE BASIS. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Washington. — President Harding, speaking before the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, declared that the country "at this very moment is on the threshold of a new era; that business is reviving and the country is finding itself." The government, he said, was greatly interested in restoration of normal business and economic conditions, and he added that there was no disposition on its part to hold aloof from other nations. American industry, however, he said, should not be destroyed to build up the commerce of other lands. The President declared there was not one constructive thought in the mind of the administration at the present time which took rank over that of a desire to establish firmly and successfully an American marine. He doubted, he said, if the World War would have occurred had the United States possessed a merchant marine commensurate with its commercial importance. "If there is any one realization," he said, "which fixes itself more firmly than another in the mind of one charged with great responsibility it is the conviction that the business life of the republic is the reflex of all its good fortunes. "I think I can venture to say that commerce and civilization go hand in hand; and wereit not for commerce there would be no civilization. "We in America—I am sure it is not unseemly to say it—are commercially a great people and we ought to be God blessed us most bountifully in resources. In the citizenship of this republic is the blend of every people in the world almost, and I like to say I believe we are unexcelled in genius we are incomparable in our industry and we have the talent and the determination—the righteous determination—to be commercially one of the foremost nations of the world. "And I beg to remind you that the great world war, like every other war which preceded it, but more notably the great world war, because of its incalculable immunity, has left a state in human affairs quite different from any that ever preceded it. The war would have been a complete waste, it would have been an utter sacrifice of every effort if we did not find the great human procession on a little higher plane than that which is followed before. And American commerce must keep that in mind. There never will be a time when you can go back completely to the old order of American industry and exchanges in trade. "I say this because at this very moment we are on the threshold of a new era. Undoubtedly there is more than a mere business revival in sight. Our country is finding itself again. We are fundamentally right and we do not intend ever to be discouraged for a long time. "Business is reviving and we are soon to resume our onward sway and I admonish you of the larger responsibility to keep in mind the new state of human affairs and the awakened aspirations of men." To Abolish Twelve-Hour Day. Washington. — Steel manufacturers in conference at the White House with President Harding approved in principle the President's suggestion for the abolition of the twelve-hour work day. The forty-one representative leaders of the industry who were present unanimously adopted a resolution authorizing the president of the American Steel and Iron institute to name a committee of five from the steel industry to make a scientific and careful investigation of the matter and to report their conclusions to the industry. Fire Levels Rome Hospital. Rome.—A disastrous fire swept the historic hospital of Santo Spirito, one of the most ancient and picturesque charitable institutions in Rome. Collapse of the pavement isolated the chronic ward. Sixteen bodies were taken from the burning ruins. The institution accommodated nearly 5,000 inmates and includes a hospital, lunatic asylum, foundling home and a refuge for aged and infirm persons. Kansas City Post Is Sold. Kansas City, Mo.—F. G. Bonfils and H. H. Tammen have retired from the newspaper game here. They have sold the Kansas City Post to Walter S. Dickey, owner of the Kansas City Journal. It is understood that the Denver men were paid $450,000 for the property. Dickey, who is a multimillionaire, bought the Journal at a receivers' sale a year ago. The purchase of the Post now gives him this paper for the evening field, with the Journal in the morning field.

These may be adapted to any figure and with slight changes in sleeve, collar and fullness of skirt are always in good style. The design in the middle is for a tall, slender woman; the costume is divided into three distinct parts to lessen the apparent height, and horizontal tucks are used to suggest width. The design on the right is for the stout woman; the long straight lines suggest height and the surplus front and curve of the side panel tend to decrease the apparent breadth of the figure.

[Prepared by the United States Department] row girdles draped loosely about the figure, crossed in the back and brought Women's clothing requires more careful thought than that for men and children. The intermediate type of figure is not difficult to clothe attractively, but the more extreme types, the slender and the stout, need careful attention. Once a woman has decided on the type of design which suits her best, she should choose clothing which in general lines is always the same. Monotony can be avoided by using different materials and trimmings. Such garments may usually be kept in good style by slight changes in sleeves, collar and fullness of the skirt. For very tall, slight people, designs should be chosen that suggest roundness and normal height. Soft, full blouses, full skirts, and draped effects are good; if the height seems too great, horizontal lines brought into the costume by means of flounces, bands and tucks will tend to reduce it. Plaids and figured materials with large areas of design are admissible on a slight, tall figure; also soft, deepple stuffs for coats, and bright, shimmery, lustrous materials are good. Design for Stout Figure. For the stout figure, designs could be chosen that suggest height and slenderness. Loose, easy-fitting garments with straight, unbroken lines suggest height. Lines that carry the eye to the center of the figure will diminish its breadth. No lines should carry directly across the figure, for they seem to lessen the height and increase the breadth of the figure. Separate waists and skirts, unless the waist is of the same color as the skirt or is so adjusted as to fall over the skirt, will tend to broaden the figure and diminish the height. A surplice line for the opening of the waist is good; nar- BREAKFAST CEREALS ARE EASILY COOKED Old-Fashioned Methods Are Now Less Common. Cornmeal Mush Is One of Dishes Early New England Settlers Copied From Indian Neighbors —Pop Corn Is Relished. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture). In early times there were many ways of preparing grains and meal, such as frumery and the good King Arthur's famous "bag pudding." The partly cooked and ready-to-eat cereals have become so popular in recent years that the old-fashioned methods of cooking grains are now less common. The ingenious housekeeper can, however, vary her breakfast cereals by the use of simple meals or grains, say food specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. One of the dishes which the early New England settlers proably copied from their Indian neighbors is the homely corne-meal mush, or hasty pudding. This is made of boiling ordinary cornemeal in milk or water. If properly cooked, it is a nutritious and economical dish and has the advantage—near to the thrifty housewife—that the left-over portion will be reushed if cut in slices and fried. Another popular way of using certain varieties of corn is as pop corn. This cannot be strictly termed a breakfast food, but it is frequently eaten with milk, like other cereal preparations. If the task of cooking must be considered, and strict economy is necessary, crackers in milk may be substituted for the ready-cooked breakfast cereals. Crackers are similar to regular breakfast foods in composition, and at average prices furnish more nourishment for the same amount of money. Nor should it be forgotten that as a rational, palatable, and economical dish, bread and milk ranks high. row girdles draped loosely about the figure, crossed in the back and brought to the front again with one end looped over the other, suggest height. The stout woman should choose soft, nonlustrous materials, such as crepe de chine, crepe georgette, serge, gabardine, volle and batiste. Plaids and large-figured materials are out of the question and stripes should be cautiously chosen. Colors should be avoided that make the lines of the figure stand out prominently, clothing experts in the United States Department of Agriculture affirm in a recent bulletin on selection and care of clothing. Taupe, gray and dark blue are usually best in this respect, but all dull, dark colors are safer than light or bright ones. Suit Colors to Wearer. Colors should be carefully chosen not only in relation to the figure but in reference to the complexion, color of the hair and eyes of the wearer as well. There is no general rule by which one can choose becoming colors. Therefore, one must rely on one's own taste, judgment and experience. In general, women with fresh, clear complexions find a greater range of becoming colors than others who have little color, but patient experimentation will discover those which are becoming to either type. It is safe to choose such colors as are in harmony with the color of the eyes, hair and complexion. Dark blue is a universally becoming color. Taupe, dark blue, black and gray in which violet predominates are good colors to be used by the woman who is stout. Bright aggressive colors make the stout figure seem larger. Bright gay colors may be chosen for the young, slight girlish figure, but always with a thought to the general coloring. USING STALE BREAD There need be no waste of stale bread. For bread that is not allowed to become moldy may be used in a variety of ways, discarding only the brown crusts and these are sometimes dried, crushed and used in griddle cakes. Small bits of lettuce bread, slices that have become too dry for use as toast, croutons and such like, should be dried in the warming oven, covered with a piece of cheese-cloth to protect them from dust, then passed through a meat chopper and sifted. The fine crumbs are used for crumbling croquettes, cutlets, etc., and the coarse crumbs for the top of au gratin dishes. Such crumbs should be stored in glass jars and they will keep a long time if placed in a cool dry place.

Cook in a double boiler for 10 minutes. Cook one pound of sausage, add one tablespoonful of sage, one-half teaspoonful of pepper, mix all together and put into a mold. Slice when cold, roll in flour and fry in hot fat. California Mock Duck.—Take one and one-half pounds of flank steak, and pound until the fibers are well broken. Brown quickly on both sides. Mix one and one-half cupfuls of crumbs, add one cupful of chopped prunes, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-eighth of a teaspoonful of pepper, one teaspoonful of lemon juice, one egg, mix and fill the center of the steak, roll up, cover with pieces of suet, surround with hot water, cover and bake one hour. Thicken the gravy and serve. Eggs, Southern Style.—Cook six eggs hard, and shell. Boil two onions and chop fine.

Small potatoes, which take so much time to prepare, may be washed and cooked in their jackets, then put through the potato ricer. The skins will stick to the top of the ricer and may be easily removed. Sharpen the knives of the food grinder by using the bits of scouring soap, grinding them through it a few times. Use paper towels to wipe out greasy dishes, soil spots on table and floor, and spilled food on the stove, besides numberless other ways which will occur to the housewife. Save griddle cake batter for dipping croquettes or meat balls. It can be used as fritter batter, thus saving what might otherwise be thrown away. Thin common house paint with gasoline, then with a brush or cloth apply to rugs and carpet. The result is very satisfactory and may be repeated when the rug is faded. Designs may be painted in with colors, making the rug look like new. Popped corn painted with a brush and delicate colors of vegetable coloring may be used on a frosted cake as decoration. Leaves cut from citron may be used with the corn flowers. Dry bread cut in cubes and fried in butter until crisp makes a good breakfast food served with sugar and cream. A bathing cap may be used for an ice bag in an emergency. Close the opening with a rubber band and dust with talcum after drying. Pack potato in greased muffin rings and fry. The cakes will be uniform and will easily come out of the rings in dainty cakes. Old fashioned buns are delicious when left to rise until light and puffy and baked to a golden brown. Make a biscuit of the above mixture; roll into a round ball, place on a baking sheet and flatten until one-half inch thick. Put to rise until more than double their bulk, brush lightly with melted butter and bake in a quick oven. The KITCHEN CABINET Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union.

DISHES FROM PRESERVED FRUIT In an emergency, even in season of fruit, one will find it convenient to use some of the fruit on the pres- serve shelves. Plum Trifle.— Rub canned plums through a sieve. Add to each cupful of pulp the whites Plum Trifle. Rub canned plums through a sieve. Add to each cupful of pulp the whites of three eggs beaten stiff and sweetened. Fill the cup two-thirds full of soft custard and heap the fruit meringue on top. Berry Float.—Heat one quart of milk; add one cupful of sugar and one-eighth of a teaspoonful of salt; when bolling stir in a tablespoonful of cornstarch thinned with a little cold milk; let it boil for five minutes, stirring often, then add the beaten yolks of three eggs; remove from the heat and beat while the mixture cools. Strain the juice from a pint of canned berries and sweeten to taste. Beat the whites of the eggs until stiff; add two to four tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar and some of the berry juice—very little to color. Spread the berries on the custard, then heap the meringue on the berries. Serve in glasses if so desired. Pear Shortcake.—Make a short biscuit dough and roll it into two sheets one-half inch thick. Bake in buttered tins in a hot oven. Cut up canned pears, sweeten and flavor with lemon rind or juice. Spread the shortcake after covering well with butter, making alternate layers of cake and fruit. Stuffed Fruit.—Place halves of fruit in a pan, fill the centers with orange marmalade, raisins, dates, figs, or chopped nuts. When thoroughly heated remove to a warm serving dish and pour over them a soft custard or melted marshmallows. Peaches, pears or apricots are especially good this way. Pineapple Mousse.—Take one cupful of sugar or less, the juice of half a lemon, a tablespoonful of gelatin and one cupful of water. Soak the gelatin in cold water for ten minutes, then set in hot water to dissolve. Add the pineapple and lemon juice. Pack in ice until ready to serve. The jelly will harden if placed on ice. Bran Fruit Roll.—Make a bran biscuit dough, roll out into two sheets. On one sheet, well buttered, place a cupful of raisins; place the other on top with a cupful of dates or figs. Roll the whole like a jelly roll, pinching the ends together. Bake for one hour. Serve with any fruit or cream and sugar. It is nearly an axiom that people will not be better than the books they read. GOOD EGG DISHES Eggs all over the country have been reasonable in price and plentiful. As a food eggs are rich in nutriment and if liked may be prepared in many ways, just as eggs. For the member of the family who needs eggs but does not care for them, it is necessary to mask them with other foods. A piece of sponge cake will be eaten by the child who will refuse eggs; as this cake is rich in eggs it is good and wholesome. Spanish Eggs.—Take one-half can of tomato, pour off nearly all the liquid and heat the tomatoes in a saucepan, seasoning with salt and cayenne, with a little chopped onion, and cook ten minutes. Then break in four eggs and stir with a fork until the eggs are cooked and have the consistency of scrambled eggs. Serve this immediately on rounds of buttered toast. Supper Dish.—Spread slices of stale bread with butter, place in a baking dish, sprinkle each layer generously with cheese. Beat two eggs, add one cupful of milk, salt and paprika to season and pour over the bread. Bake in a moderate oven until the custard is set. More eggs and milk will be needed for a larger dish. Macaroni and Eggs—Cook macaroni of any kind until tender in boiling salted water. Drain and place in a well-buttered baking dish a layer of the cooked macaroni; over this put a layer of sliced hard cooked eggs, using five eggs for a dish serving six. Sprinkle with cheese, add a bit of onion juice or grated onion and then a layer of thick white sauce made by cooking together two tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour and one cupful of rich milk. Repeat with more macaroni, cheese, egg and white sauce and finish the top with buttered crumbs. Bake in a moderate oven until well hented and the crumbs are brown. Egg Lemonade.—Prepare the lemonade as usual and just before serving beat up one or two eggs, add to the pitcher of lemonade and beat well with an egg beater. This is a refreshing drink and a good way for those who do not like eggs to take them in an active form.

The styles are broadly divided into costume blouses, tailored blouses and sports blouses, each one showing many ingenious variations. The two blouses pictured here belong to the dressier class of suit styles and are made of crepe de chine. Blouses of this fabric and georgette, lead in demand, with white, flesh and they achieve cape effects by their draperies or their sleeves are so amplified that they contrive the flowing lines of the cape.

Its decorative panels may be of figured crepe or of embroidery and it has a girdle of the material, tied at the left side. Another pretty slip-over style opens at the left side and fastens on the shoulder. It is of white, or light-colored crepe de chine, with bindings and covered buttons in a darker colored crepe.

They are put on in simple designs, as in straight lines at intervals down the length of the blouse, or in small sunburst patterns that any one can do. A very pretty slip-over blouse in periwinkle blue, is made of one length of crepe de chine, cut in very deep, narrow scallops at the bottom. The edges of these, the neck and sleeves, are outlined with long, iridescent beads in blue shading into purple, and lines of beads extend from the neck to the scallops which extend about eight inches below the waist line.
