Colorado Statesman

SUBSCRIBE FOR THE ONLY RELIABLE PEOPLE'S PAPER IN COLORADO "THE COLORADO STATESMAN" THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA BUREAU OF NEGRO WELFARE AND STATISTICS, CHARLESTON By T. EDWARD HILL. WEST VIRGINIA is one of the very fairest states in the United States in its treatment to her Negro citizens. Such opportunities are offered to the more than 86,000 Negroes in this great state as are offered no where else in this country. The great industries are open to Negroes upon terms of equality as to pay, working conditions, living conditions, and the chances for advancement are exceptionally good. In the coal industry of the state alone, more than 20,000 Negroes are employed, receiving in wifges an average of more than $1,000 each per year. Lumber camps, mills, factories, the building trades and public works such as public roads and railroads are offering employment to other thousands at good wages. Educational advantages are equal to the best, with good schools running from seven to nine months to be found in every community where there are ten or more children, taught by the very best teachers who receive the same pay as other teachers holding the same grade of teachers' certificates. The West Virginia Collegiate Institute, the Bluefield Colored Institute, maintained and supported by the state, offer unsurpassed opportunities for advanced education, and the West Virginia Baptist Seminary and College, and Storer College, private denominational schools, are doing splendid work both in literary and religious training of the Negro youths. All of the state schools are taught and managed by Negro teachers under the supervision of a Negro State Supervisor and the Advisory Council to the State Board of Education, composed of Negroes. The state maintains a tuberculosis sanitarium at Denmar, Pocahontas county, a Colored Orphans' Home at Huntington, and is preparing to erect a Negro Insane Asylum at Maggie, a Deaf and Blind Institute, a Boys Industrial Home and a Girls Industrial School, all to be under the management of Negroes. West Virginia has never passed any legislation providing for separate cars nor restricting the ballot, and Negroes vote in all elections without let or hindrance. They hold 27 appointive positions under the state government, drawing salaries aggregating more than $45,000 per year; they hold 14 elective positions in the counties and magisterial districts, including two members of the House of Delegates; 14 salaried and per diem appointive offices in the counties; 8 elective offices in cities and towns; 22 appointive offices in cities and towns. Nine Negroes occupy places on party committees to which they were elected by their party associates, and three were elected to a party national convention in 1920, two in the state at large and one from a congressional district. Drastic laws have been enacted against lynching and against the showing of pictures or plays in the theaters of the state which harmfully reflect upon any race (such as the "Birth of a Nation"), or tend to create race prejudice or hatred. No such picture has been shown or lynching committed or attempted since the passage of these splendid laws. The relations between the races have VOL. XXVIII. always been of the most cordial nature, there has never been a race riot in the state, nor has anyone been seriously threatened; each race treats the other with respect and the leaders on both sides try to be fair and work together for the advancement of all and the highest development of the state. For many years it has been very difficult for Negroes to buy farms and homes in the most desirable sections of the state because of the high prices demanded, especially has this been true of the best farming sections. When the 1920 census report appeared showing that there were only 504 Negro farm owners in the state, a decrease of 204 during the past ten years, several of the leaders became alarmed and began to look about for good farm land which could be purchased by Negroes on the easy payment plan. A group of white financiers had purchased 10,000 acres of virgin land in the blue grass section of Pocahontas county, W. Va., and help an option on 17,000 acres more in the same section. This land is located in the best farming and cattle raising section of the state and it was the purpose of the purchasers to cut it into farms of from 50 to 100 acres and sell it to white natives and foreigners. The writer and two representative Negroes approached the representatives of the owners of cutting the land into ten-acre farms and cut up lots in a proposed town site and give Negroes the opportunity of buying upon the easy payment plan. It was with great effort after many conferences that the owners were convinced that Negroes would purchase farm land; but, finally, Messrs. Jas. S. Kahle, Bluefield, and J. E. Woodson, Princeton, representing the owners, agreed to give Negroes a chance to get this valuable land upon the easy payment plan. The promise that Negroes would buy farm land is being kept. To date more than 200 West Virginians have purchased from ten to 100 acres, and nearly 100 are cleaning up and cultivating their tracts. This is the first opportunity Negroes in large numbers have had in West Virginia to purchase desirable farm land in either small or large quantities upon the easy payment plan and when all of this acreage is sold they may never have such an opportunity again. This land is the best farming and grazing section of the state, a railroad runs through the entire length of it with a regular stop at Watoga, it is touched by an important state road which will be hard surfaced at an early date, it is near to several large and small cities and towns and within six hours' ride to three of the larger cities of the state, it is within twenty miles of the great White Sulphur Springs resort, and there is a ready and convenient market for all of the produce the farmers have to sell. The ownership of a farm, however small, makes a more desirable and dependable citizen, gives him more independence and self reliance, makes him better able to live comfortably through business depression and to face old age with serenity. Where farming communities have good schools and churches and are convenient to towns and cities, they are the ideal places to rear strong, healthy, clean children who will become producers as well as consumers. State Hist & Nut Hist Society State House BLE PEOPLE'S PA ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, Spingarn Medal For 1921 Goes To a Woman MARY B. TALBERT, former president of the National Association of Colorad Women, has been chosen to receive the Spingarn Medal on Tuesday, June 20, at the Newark Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, it was announced today. The committee on the award issued the following statement: "The award was given in consideration of her services in organizing the women of the country so that the debt was paid off the home of Frederick Douglass, the home restored and made a shrine in memory of the great Douglass; also because of the fact that she represented the colored women of America at the International Council of Women held in Norway. "The award was made specifically for the above reasons. However, the committee could not fail to take into consideration also the fact that Mrs. Talbert was twice president of the National Association of Colored Women and that all her life she has been identified with uplift work, religious and civic, and has been a leader of the women of her race." The committee making the award consisted of Bishop Hurst, Dr. Dillard and Mr. Hope. Rabbi Solomon Foster of Newark has been invited and has accepted the invitation to present the medal to Mrs. Talbert at the Newark Conference. Color Line Shows In New Scotch Law Barring of East Indian From Glasgow Dance Hall Stirs Up Hornet's Nest. London, June 9.—The United Kingdom's first case of drawing the color line was announced in Glasgow, where the dance halls bar "all men of color." The Glasgow Indian Union has written to the magistrate protesting that an East Indian, who entered a dance hall accompanied by a white woman, was ordered to leave when about to begin foxing. The magistrates replied that the affair was entirely outside of their jurisdiction. In an editorial captioned "Snobs," the London Daily Herald said: "It is an irony that on Empire day, as patriots announce the solidarity of the commonwealth, they bar dark-skinned citizens of the empire from dance halls. "There is a serious side to the snobs' trot. We thought that British tyranny had contributed sufficiently to the humiliation of Indians in India without adding insult to injury when they visit the 'motherland.'" National Negro Business League Announces Unique Feature of the Forthcoming Meeting National Negro Business League Announces Unique Feature of the Forthcoming Meeting Tuskegee Institute, Ala., June 14.

Wylie Ave. Merchant Has Negro Workers Fired From Job Store Was Largely Patronized by Race—Many Talking of Boycott. Morris Schilfer, a merchant, doing business at 2412 Wylie avenue, has aroused the ire of the Negroes living in the neighborhood on account of alleged discriminatory tactics against Negro mechanics. For some time 90 per cent of Schilfer's business has been among colored people. He recently began the erection of an apartment house on Wylie avenue near Chauncey street. The contractor hired some colored mechanics among whom was Joseph Patton, Sr. It is alleged that when Schilfer came to the building and saw Negro carpenters at work he became indignant and ordered the contractor to dismiss them at once. It is said that he later admitted that he had given such an order, adding that he would not let a "nigger" build a dog house for him. Colored residents in the neighborhood are planning a boycott on Schlifer, saying that they will never spend another cent at his store. Boys living near the store say that on the day that Schlifer opens they will get banners and parade past letting the people know that Schlifer has discriminated against Negro mechanics.—Pittsburgh American. Kentucky Branch N. A.A.C.P.Frees Man of Murder Charge Through the efforts of the Henderson, Ky., Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., an attempt to convict a colored man of murder of which he was innocent was frustrated. The following report is submitted by Mrs. La Vetta J. Smith, secretary of the Henderson Branch, N. A. A. C. P.: "In 1909, Joe Crow killed a man in Henderson. He was indicted and held to the grand jury on bond. When the time for trial came he could not be apprehended. Last January a Joe Crow was arrested in Detroit and returned to Henderson as the man who committed the murder in 1909. He was not given an examining trial and when the grand jury met the state was not ready hence he was remanded to jail until May. "In the meantime his sister and he claimed he was not the same Joe Crow as the one wanted. The brother of the murdered man claimed it was a case of mistaken identity also. The lawyers said there was nothing to be done but wait till the case came to trial as he was evidently the guilty party. Even the one who took the case for $100 took no steps. "Our legal committee investigated the case and established evidence of his residence and marriage in Kansas City, Kan., at the time of the murder. We sought a lawyer and only one would take the case. We paid him $100 and in less than five hours Joe Crow was a free man without the case being brought to trial. The prosecuting attorney therefore did not obtain the reward offered for Joe Crow, the murderer. "(Mrs.) LA VETTA J. SMITH, "Sec'y Henderson, Ky., Branch."

This will materially help towards the success of the work, which will be beneficial to both races in the end. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD. DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE. WESTERN Canadian and United States authorities are investigating the alleged confession of William Johnson, alias N. Primatcheuk, that he caused the explosion of three British ammunition ships in the harbor of Halifax, N. S., in 1917, resulting in many deaths and great destruction in that city. Johnson committed suicide in a lonely spot on Baon creek, in Skagit county, last month. George Von Elm of Salt Lake City retained his title of amateur golf champion of the Pacific Northwest by defeating Bon Stein of Seattle, 1 up, in their match of thirty-six holes at the Colwood links at Vancouver, B.

Posses are searching in the vicinity of Ouray, northeast Utah, for Scheaguv, a Ute Indian brave, who is alleged to have slain his rival in love, Maroocooop, and to have kidnapped and fled into the mountain wilds with an Indian belle named Wilma Wilson. According to reports received at the Indian agency at Salt Lake City, Scheaguv shot and killed Maroocooop while he was asleep in his tepee Sunday night. Ralph E. Trotter, alias Howard C.

Federal control of the air to prevent radio congestion and to encourage the maximum of radio use and efficiency was proposed in a bill introduced in the House by Representative White, Republican, Maine. The bill sets up about twenty different classes of stations with appropriate wave allocations. President Harding has signed the Wadsworth-McKenzie bill, returning the navy, army, marine corps and coast guard service to peace time pay standards. The bill, effective July 1, slashes $14,154,000 from the pay bill of the four services. It reduces the $20 a month war time pay of private soldiers to $21 a month, but grants many special allowances which might run the enlisted man's pay as high as $157.50 per month. Government seizure and operation of coal mines was predicted by several senators during a discussion in the Senate on the coal strike situation. Senator Lenroot, Wisconsin, demanded that the government take over sufficient mines to supply coal that may be needed if thes trike is not settled promptly. Senate Republican leaders who are opposed to the plan of Chairman McCumber of the finance committee to side-track the tariff bill for the soldiers' bonus have the support of President Harding. The executive, it was stated officially at the White House, regards tariff legislation as most important and worthy of the u/divided attention of the Senate. An unsuccessful attempt was made recently to set fire to the offices of the alien property custodian in the veterans' bureau building, according to official reports to the secret service. Rags soaked with kerosene were stuffed through a hole bored in a window sash and a match applied from the outside. Theb laze was discovered by a watchman and extinguished.

The report, which has not been confirmed, was received at Posadas from Villa Encarnacion, Paraguay. Londonderry is facing famine as the result of the cutting off of the usual lines of food supplies for the city. Supplies are being sent there from Glasgow, but these are insufficient. Incendiaries were again active in Belfast and a large factory was destroyed by fire. Reports circulated in Europe and America regarding the condition of Nikolai Lenine's health have been exaggerated, according to advices from Moscow. The rumor that Lenine has been compelled to resign as president of the council of people's commissaries on account of his health was denied. Serious disorders with some casualities occurred at Agran, Croatia, when Croat anti-Serbians and monarchists clashed during a public celebration of the wedding of King Alexander of Jugo-Slavia and Princess Marie of Rumania. Meager censored dispatches say that the fighting, in which shots were exchanged, lasted for three hours, but details are suppressed. Royal Canadian mounted police recently raided a farmhouse on St. Therese Island, near Montreal, and seized nearly $100,000 worth of forged United States Federal Reserve Bank notes. Phillip Briere, alias Dedrocker, and Alfred Jean were arrested. A large modern printing press was discovered in the house. The bogus bills were clever imitations of American currency, officials said. Wealthy Chinese with their families and valuables are fleeing from Nanchang, capital of Kiangsi province, as the army of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, the South China leader, advances northward. Looting at the hands of the southern troops is feared. American missionaries at Nanchang are also prepared to leave if it becomes necessary for the forces of Wu Pei-Fu, the military power of the Peking government, to evacuate Nan-chang. GENERAL Fire originating from an explosion in the engine room of the Mineral Lake Lumber Company plant at Mineral, forty miles southeast of Tacoma, destroyed the mill and lumber stored in the yards, at an estimated loss of $300,000. While additional wage cuts swung over the heads of 350,000 more railway employees and awaited only formal release by the railroad labor board to slash another $40,000,000 from the pay rolls of the carriers, it was rumored in Chicago that any rail strike growing out of present threats may be directed and financed from Canada as a means of evading the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court holding unions liable for damages caused by their members. Lashed and whipped about by a 120 mile gate more than four and a half miles above earth, on the verge of suffocation, caused by loss of his oxygen tank, and compelled to cling to rope and straps attached to a parachute for fear that a whirling cross current might weaken and cause them to break are several of the "mere" details related by Capt. A. W. Stevens, aerial photographer, McCook field, Dayton, Ohio who recently broke the world's parachute jump record when he descended 24,206 feet. Vice President James Starr of the United Textile Workers, who has been in charge of the textile strike in Manchester, N. H., since it began Feb. 15 will not be permitted hereafter to address open-air meetings in Manchester the park commission decided. Other non-resident union leaders are also barred. Establishment of national agencies to eliminate strikes and solve other troubles of the building industry was favored by John Donlin, president of the building trades department or the American Federation of Labor, who told the department annual meeting at Cincinnati that the "whole nation is tired of strikes and lockouts and disgusted with such institutions that make them possible." Properties of the Willis corporation at Elizabeth, N. J., were bid in at auction by the Durant Motor Corporation for $5,525,000. The second highest bid was made by the Maxwell Motor Car Company and was $5,500,000. Sale of the Willis plant, which covers thirty-seven acres and had an estimated value of approximately $11,000,000, must await confirmation of Judge Bodine in the Federal District Court at Newark. Competition in business is coming back into the world with a vengeance and the merchant, manufacturer or banker who expects to get ahead from this time on must realize that he must fight his way upward, declared George Woodruff of Chicago, vice president of the National Bank of the Republic, in an address before the South Dakota Bankers' Association. The death toll of the brief, but terrific, hurricane that swooped down on New York City passed the sixty mark with indications that the total number of dead might go much higher.

S. SHIPS LASKER REFUSES TO HALT LIQUOR SALES ON AMER- ICAN VESSELS, ATTACKS ON SHIPPING BOARD BY CONGRESS AND DRY FORCES LOOM. ‘(iteatera Hatanenes Union Mews fervinsd: Washington.—Sule of liquor on ship- ping board vessels at sea will be con- tinued, Chairman Lasker reiterated here, until a separate decision has been rendered holding such practice iMegal under the prohibition laws or until he “has been convinced of Its fl- legality.” Mr, Lasker maintained the position taken by him in his letter to Adolphus Busch, TL, vice president of the An- heuser-Busch Brewery Company, St. Louis, despite Indication that It would be made the subject of attack in Con- gress und by dry organizations. Officials of the Department of Jus- tice refused to comment on the situ- ation, but In some quarters attention was culled to an opinion on file there which was rendered by former Acting Attorney General Frierson in 1920. Mr, Frierson held that the national prohibition act was effective upon ships flymg the American — flag wherever they might be. According to high department offi- cals a decision of an attorney gen- eral retains the official interpretation of a law until it has been revoked by court decision or by a superseding opinion, Furthermore they added such opinion always stands unless re- quest for a review comes from the same department or agency which ort- sinally requested the ruling. Mr, Lasker's stand as to liquor sales on bourd American vessels was taken, he informed Mr. Busch, on the authority of an opinion rendered by General Counsel Schlesinger of the shipping board. ‘The chairman conferred with Attor- ney General Daugherty and while there gave him copies of the correspondence with the St. Louis brewer. The matter of liquor sales at sea was not the pri- mary purpose of the conference, Mr. Lasker Indicated, but it was brought up incidentally. Refusing to discuss his talk with Mr. Daugherty, Chairman Lasker de- clared he would not ask the depart. ment for a new opinion, being entire- ly satisfied with that rendered by Mr. Schlesinger. He added thatehe would not answer further letters on the sub- Ject of liquor selling. While there was no indication that there would be any move by an execu: tive department in the matter, at the capitol the Busch-Lasker correspond: ence provoked considerable discussion among prohibition leaders coming, as it did on the heels of the attack on the board by [Representative Galligan Democrat, Massachusetts, for permit ting the sale of liquor on American ships. Neither the Gallivan speech nor pub: lication of the Busch correspondence gave legislative leaders their firs Knowledge of liquor selling at sea however. During recent months man} of them have received wine lists from American yessels mailed in all parts of the world, with facetious comments Conferences May End Coal Strike. Cincinnati, Ohio.—That a movement has been under way for some time among coal operators of the central competitive field to come together in conference with the miners looking to a settlement of the national coal strike, was admitted here by William Green, secretary of the United Mine Workers. The statement was made by Mr. Green following a report from Cleveland quoting T. K, Mahr, prest- dent of the Mahr Collieries Company, as saying that conferences of opera- tors were going on throughout the country in an effort to end the strike. 4,300 Casualties in Tientsin Battle. London—A dispatch from Peking says in fighting near Shanhaikwan, northeast Tientsin, Chili troops had 1,- 300 casualties. The right wing of the Feng forces was driven back and was being further threatened by the Chilt columns approaching from Jehole. Meanwhile the dispatch continues, Gen. Chang Tso-Lin is making over- tures to Peking with a view to secur- ing reasonable terms from Gen. Wa Pel-Fu. Miners Refuse Wage Arbitration. New York.—With the refusal of min- ers representatives on the wage scale conference to accept arbitration, the anthracite operators representatives flatly refused to proceed further in the negotiations, unless the miners agree to arbitration. The conference adjourned without setting a date for another meeting. Both sides regard the negotiations as broken off, at least for the present. “It looks like a strike,” asserted Philip Murray, vice president of the union.

Apparently it is with fatal unless aroused soon. The fall too long delayed the enactment should be a particle of bicklity of a measure designed to fund fundamental rights, guaranteed stake burnings and lynchings days the state of Texas alone why a federal anti-lynching law country. We have been given the and open-hearted sympathy of Armenia, Russia and other foreign efforts at official cognizance of the black republic of Hayti. The situation is different. Posing a member of the Negro newpoint, but it is mighty inconvenient not permitted to stand in the hops on European soil, or upon session of the Philippines. But we closed to protect the lives and the constitutional bugaboo is on the senators, Republican or not conceal their own infamy and home that Negro citizens exist and during the present session assume the full responsibility for further pose as the party of a state there is no issue confronting Negro one. Are we interested in the measure? Yes, as are all Americans the Dyer bill or similar measure of the burdens of taxation? Yeah, state anti-lynching laws., Are we or ex-service men? Yes, patriot in an effective anti-lynchings and death with us, for we look and today every Negro citizen in name of America stands disagree goes on unchecked, and the state who cry out "the Constitution hypocritical misrepresented or ANOTHER week has passed and still the Dyer anti-lynching bill lies peacefully upon the senatorial couch, sleeping away in an undisturbed slumber. It seems to be a veritable child of misfortune, and like the deformed Richard the Third, "born into this unlucky world before its time scarce half made up, and so lamely and unshapely that the dogs (southern) bark at it as it halts by them." Apparently it is within the throes of a deep coma that may prove fatal unless aroused soon. There can be no question but that Congress has all too long delayed the enactment of an anti-lynching measure. Just why there should be a particle of bickering or hair-splitting over the constitutionality of a measure designed to protect citizens of the United States in their fundamental rights, guaranteed by the Constitution, in the face of repeated stake burnings and lynchings, is utterly beyond us. Within the past sixty days the state of Texas alone has furnished many unanswerable reasons why a federal anti-lynching law should be upon the statute books of this country. We have been given of late to a great deal of maudlin sentiment and open-hearted sympathy over the plight of the oppressed peoples of Armenia, Russia and other foreign lands. There have ever been some feeble efforts at official cognizance of the atrocities being daily perpetrated in the black republic of Hayti. But within the borders of our own country the situation is different. Possibly there might be some advantage in being a member of the Negro race in a foreign land from the American viewpoint, but it is mighty inconvenient here at home. The Constitution was not permitted to stand in the way when it came to landing American troops on European soil, or upon the Cuban shores, nor in the forcible possession of the Philippines. But what a different story arises when it is proposed to protect the lives and property of citizens in this country! But the constitutional bugaboo is all bunk, and nobody knows this better than the senators, Republican or Democratic, who raise it as a smoke screen to conceal their own infamy and cowardice. The fact might as well be driven home that Negro citizens expect Congress to pass an anti-lynching bill, and during the present session. They expect the Republican party to assume the full responsibility for the passing of this bill. If it desires to further pose as the party of a square deal then let it deal square NOW. There is no issue confronting Negro citizens at this time so all-absorbing as this one. Are we interested in the passage of a modified and effective tariff measure? Yes, as are all American citizens, but secondary to the passing of the Dyer bill or similar measure. Are we interested in a readjustment of the burdens of taxation? Yes, but only after the enactment of appropriate anti-lynching laws. Are we interested in a fair and sane bonus bill for ex-service men? Yes, patriotically so, but second always to our interest in an effective anti-lynching measure. It has become a matter of life and death with us, for we look the bald fact in the face that as matters stand today every Negro citizen in America is a possible lynching victim. The name of America stands disgraced before the world as long as mob violence goes on unchecked, and the quibbling members of the United States Senate who cry out "the Constitution" are nothing but political cowards and hypocritical misrepresentative of justice and honor. THE PENDULUM STATESMAN this week is please mnn a press report of the easy meeting our group in the state its is as interesting as it is sur Virginia is one of the fairest of colored citizens, that exe Negro youth of the state, the against the showing of piety THE COLORADO STATESMAN this week is pleased to offer its readers in another column a press report of the easy swing of the pendulum of progress affecting our group in the state of West Virginia, that in many respects is as interesting as it is surprising. The opening statement that West Virginia is one of the fairest states in the United States in her treatment of colored citizens, that exceptional school advantages are offered the Negro youth of the state, that drastic laws exist against lynching and against the showing of pictures or plays in the theaters which harmfully reflect upon the race and tend to kindle race friction, offers the real surprise to the many who look upon the South as merely the South, hell bound and criminal hearted. And indeed there has been much ground for this general belief in recent years, since the white press has gleefully played up every phase of race conflict that has occurred throughout the South as holiday events reveled in by her "best citizens." But the press reports being given consideration at this time would indicate that West Virginia has a body of "best citizens" of a wholly different type, and we repeat that it gives us pleasure to offer it to our readers. The interesting features of this report are manifold. That the state supports in handsome style so many colleges and higher institutions of learning, that Negroes are holding so many worthy positions within the state and county governments with salaries aggregating many thousands, truly forms palatable reading these days. But the actual appeal to manly interest, that which best betokens substantiality and definite progress, is to be found in the large number of Negro farm owners, and the further fact that Negroes are eagerly grasping every opportunity to acquire more choice land throughout the state. Certainly we should note this condition with calm satisfaction. It is a line of progress that could well be emulated in every community where the possibilities and opportunities so freely exist, for unless all of the famed doctors of business, who strive to keep in delicate touch with the economic pulse of the nation, are wrong in their diagnosis, this country is upon the verge of an industrial revival and prosperity wave unparalleled in its history. Evidently the West Virginia Negro is getting ready for it, but not there alone, for we note that a group of wealthy Oklahoma Negroes recently visited Lower California and old Mexico with a view to looking over the possibilities and business opportunities of these countries with a view no doubt of investing their means where a greater security and safety abounds. Thus the pendulum of progress swings in another direction, but with the same happy effect. We preach of solving the problems of race. The two incidents referred to here offer practical solutions. We confess that after having read of the very pleasant and inviting conditions in West Virginia, full of hope and opportunity, we find something very alluring about it; we feel ourselves being "drawn on," so to speak. At the same time we just as freely confess that were we so fortunate as to acquire wealth in Oklahoma or any other southern state where race antagonism is so rampant, we would seek some other community for its fuller enjoyment, even if it were old Mexico. But let us look now to our own state. The pendulum of progress has ever been known to swing here, but greater force and power is to be soon given it when actual construction of the Moffat tunnel begins. The COLORADO STATESMAN fears that our group is not fully awake to just what this great enterprise means to the wealth and upbuilding of the state. We believe it will prove the greatest boon ever known to Colorado. Are we getting ready for it? There are no restrictions upon the acquisition of land here. The markets are open to our products and we are given a reasonable chance in the fields of labor. Work on the Moffat tunnel is going to afford opportunities to all classes of labor, skilled and unskilled. Our race leaders and civic bodies should begin now to confer with the tunnel board and press the claims of our group to a just proportion of this labor. And in return we should offer to use our best efforts to the point of securing a worthy class of laborers. The door of prosperity is about to swing open in Colorado; its massive hinges are in easy working order. It but awaits the magic touch, and once given an era of industrial and business revival will be noted in the state second to none in the Union. COPYRIGHT 1917 MME. T. D. PERKINS, SCIENTIFIC SCALP SPECIALIST, RETURNS HOME AFTER YEAR LECTURE TOUR. Madame T. D. Perkins, the noted scientific scalp specialist, who is astonishing the world with her wonderful art of cultivating, beautifying and growing the hair, has just returned to Denver after a very successful lecture tour in Philadelphia, Pa. After a number of years of perseverance and with that determination that merits nothing else but success, this leading woman of her race in this art has accomplished some wonderful things in hair culture, and all persons who have been under her skillful treatment are loud in their praise and testimony of her ability. Madame Perkins sojourned in Philadelphia for nearly a year and gave so much help to her people that her departure was very much regretted, and we welcome her return, as the West is continuing its demonstration of "Good things coming out of Nazareth." The Colorado Statesman wishes this artist every success in her profession. The above is a portrait of little Willajane Perkins, beautiful daughter of Mrs. Perkins, who accompanied her mother to Philadelphia and attended school while there. Note her hair at the age of 5 years—22 inches in length. She is now 9 years old and her hair has increased in length and thickness wonderfully. Handicapped. Another difficulty some people encounter in serious thinking is the circumstance that whenever they are not talking they're asleep. Has the Right Idea A clever traveling man studies his customer and you can't blame him for regarding a stubborn man as a puzzle to be worked out as well as a human being. In Ireland a girl is called a "colleen." "Mavourneen" is the Irish term of endearment for a girl or woman, in other words, the Irish for "sweetheart." One's Ideals. Humanity never rises above its ideals. What ought to be is always above and beyond what is. Unless however, we have before us the vision of something better, we can never rise above what we are.—Exchange. Listen! Wall paper was very costly when first introduced. As late as the end of the Eighteenth century when an owner was leaving a house he advertised among the things which he desired to sell or to rent the paper on the walls. —Brooklyn Eagle. Good Plot Everything. A plot, after all, is a design to which everything else must be subordinated if the reader's attention is to be enticed and enthralled. Rude life may not conform to this design, and the psychologist may desplse it, yet there is no such thing as a good novel that has not a good plot.—Francis Hackett. Birds as Weather Prophets. At least some birds are good weather prophets. The green woodpecker is known in some parts of this country as the "rain bird" because his laughing cry so often precedes a downpour. The misselthrush, again, has gained the name of "storm cock", because he sings before wind and rain. Beginning of "Oll Age." The "oil age" of the United States dates from 1858-59, when George H. Bissell and Prof. Benjamin Silliman, Jr., of Yale analyzed crude oil and determined its value for illumination, and Edwin L. Drake drilled a well at Titusville, Pa., and produced the oil in quantity. Long before that it had been used in various communities where it was skimmed from creeks and pools as a household remedy for colds, burns, rheumatism, sore throat and other ailments. 1 TAXI Yell CHAMPA 26 NIGHT & CHAMPA 410 DAY TAXI --- Darken Fish Bowi.

WHITE WOMAN LOSES AGAIN IN | CLAIM OF BLACK MAN’S ESTATE It will be remembered that Lena Fisher, a white woman, objected to the probating of the will of Basil Hill, a colored man, because the Hills had taken her into their family from child- hood and had not mentioned her in their will. The Hills had never adopt ed her, She was represented by Attor- neys Carey and Hipp (white), who failing in their efforts to convince Judge Luxford of the County Court, Nast Tuesday, of Mrs, Fisher's right to the estate, induced the state to enter the contest on the grounds that the will was made under duress and fur- ther that Mr. Hill was not of sound und disposing mind. Attorney Blake- more stood alone against Attorneys Carey, Hipp and Ramsey, representing the state. Mr. Blakemore assumed the attitude of eminent counsel and relied upon the law in such case made and provided. He regretted the misfor- tune of this white woman not haying been adopted by this colored man, and succeeded In conyincing the court that she had no standing in court. ‘The wit nesses proved the legitimacy of the will which the court admitted to pre bate, dismissing the caveats of the con- testing lawyers and ruling them out ‘of court.

By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington. — Shakespeare must have looked three landed years into the future to visualize the tariff proceedings in the upper house of the American congress in order from the picture to get his fine phrase "damnable iteration." Now of course the Democrats do not want the tariff bill to pass. It is a Republican measure and they don't like it. They know, however, that it is going to pass, but they do not intend to let it reach the goal until there has been discussion enough to supply several senators with occupation. One is trying to write in an important way and in a non-partisan way, and the writer can do this so far as the tariff is concerned, with an entirely good conscience. The Democratic thought seemingly is delay, delay, delay, while the Republican thought seems to be "let us get rid of the infernal thing and give it a chance to try itself out as soon as possible." The senators sit for twelve hours a day in the tariff court. At least they are supposed to sit there. The sitting, however, is done by half a dozen not at all amiably inclined gentlemen who sit because they must. The others scatter to wait for the sound of the no quorum bell, or for the succession of rings which tells them that they must hurry to vote on something or other which is supposed to make or unmake the country. It has been discussed before, but the daily record is worth perhaps passing comment. There are 338 res of the tariff bill and the senate is now reading and discussing a line somewhere near the top of the forty-fifth page. Mica, Micah and Powder Puffs. Mica has just been under discussion. There are only one or two senators who know anything about mica, but the unknowing know that they must vote as the few knowing ones signal. There is a story circling round that three or four senators thought mica had something to do with the Old Testament, and that the scheduled subject was a man, not a thing. The matter of a final "h" is nothing to the senatorial mind which fears lest some infant industry is about to be strangled in its ooining or crying cradle. On a hot night two senators gravely discussed mica from the standpoint, or, perhaps better, the viewpoint of a woman's powder puff. It was gravely asserted that mica was a necessity because it perforce must be the daily, accompaniment of the pocket mirror and the other little things which every woman, with a disregard for . . . rights of her natural complexion, carries with her, hot days and cold days. Two distinguished senators from the northwest portion of this great republic gave up twenty-five minutes of more or less precious time a night or two ago to a dispute as to whether or not a certain statement appeared on page 19 or page 21 of a government document. There was no disagreement at all as to the wording of the statement or as to its correctness, but the matter of the page on which it appeared apparently was one of high moment and neither the tariff bill nor the world could go forward until 19 was made 21 or 21 was made 19, and the change properly had been attested by a notary public with an attending crowd of credible witnesses. Democratic Delay Effective. The Democrats, of course, are delaying the passage of the tariff bill because they want the country to believe that the Republican party is slow at the work of legislation. A man may be trying to reach a mark with his heart-in-his-legs efforts, but what progress can he make if pitfalls are dug for him every stride of his running way? Of course it is charged that the Republicans have wasted a lot of time trying to put through a tariff bill. It is barely possible, of course, that the time spent in putting through this particular tariff bill is all wasted, but the Republican desire seems to be to get the thing through quickly. The President, so the supposedly well informed say, sits nightly in an upper chamber of the great white mansion and wishes in his heart that the wicked Democrats would let a few schedules go their way to action without objection or obstruction. The President wants to go to Alaska. He probably can go to Alaska only if he chooses to depart for that one-time land of promise when the long night has settled down upon it to hold it unrelieved in its embrace until the sun comes back once more. The tariff, of course, is a most interesting subject if one chooses so to think, but it takes much indwelling of thought for most laymen here to reach the conclusion that the country is wildly anxious that the Underwood-Simmons bill shall become one day the Fordney-McCumber bill. What the country probably wants, knowing that the change is to come, is that it snail come quickly. Primitive Patch Near Washington. There is a little stout-roofed, stout-sided, one-roomed cabin on the top of a rocky hill overlooking the Potomac river for many miles from Washington. It is a fine place to go when the senate is discussing the tariff, because the change gives one full opportunity to learn that there is something interesting and beautiful left in this world of ours. The soil of the island hill on which the cabin stands seemingly is poor, but from it the wild flowers spring readily and the trees rise sturdily, finding foothold and sustenance where both seem impossible. The birds and several species of mammals have claimed the place for their own, but they have shown no resentment of the intrusion of the few persons who on occasion seek out the spot, for the human visitors are kindly disposed toward all forms of the wild life. You tramp along a smooth highway to reach the base of the hill on which the cabin stands. It is a fine walk, bordered with the things which nature gives to man in the hope that he will show appreciation; and she gives them year after year, nothing discounted by the fact that only one man in fifty gives a nod of recognition for her bounty. The locusts and the tulip trees, heavy with flowers and almost too heavy with perfume, line a part of the way. Then there are cedars and dogwood and sycamores and plane trees and maples. The redbirds and the mockers and the catbirds and the brown thrashers and the Carolina wrens and the occasional meadow larks, to say nothing of the humber singers in homespun, find things to their liking by the roadside. **Birds All Along the Way.** One traveler along the way who had thought that the bird life of the district was not so abundant as the bird life of other places, found himself in gross ornithological error. Perhaps there was a congregation of the songsters especially assembled to drive home knowledge of the mistake, but, be this as it may, the birds were there in hundreds and every bird had a tune in its throat. Almost at the outset of the walk along the road a robin's note was heard in a plane tree. Only the casual eye was turned to the robin, for robins and their notes are as plentiful in the District of Columbia as they are in northern Illinois, but it was not a robin, it was a mocking bird, which somewhere had caught the "cheer-up" note of our red-breasted friend, and was trying it for himself. He tried it three times and then stopped to begin again, with the unmistakable querulous, half-smarring note that the catbird occasionally throws into the midst of its music. The mocker was dissatisfied, perhaps with his catbird performance, for he stopped that as he had his robin song and then refused flatly to sing any more. The trail from the meadow to the cabin on the biltop mounts up and up a rocky climbing way, but it is over cast with shade, and there is no law to forbid resting on every inviting stone that marks the path. The last of the wild flowers just now are blooming. The blue spiderworts are every where. The name is not attractive, but the flower is. Thick Moss and Ancient Trees. The moss grows thick in places, a protective mat for much that seemingly needs no protection, for how can weather hurt a rock or a tree trunk that has stood the shocks of centuries? Some of these trees were here when John Smith sailed up the Potomac in the year of grace 1608. The big trees stand at a distance one from another, and there are little trees and a rather open underbrush in between. Where the trail starts its mounting the ground is damp. There were the Canadian warblers with their gold fronds and their necklaces of black beads. With them were the masked Maryland yellowthroats, calling weirdly from the thickets: "Witchety, witchety, witchety." The Maryland yellowthroat is one of the gems of birdland. It is exquisite in its coloring and as exquisite in its manner, and yet this bird for some reason lodged well within its own breast, frequently builds its summer home in the heart of the despised skunk cabbage. From the cabin on the hill one looks off across the country upon a primitive forest. There are trees in it worth while. It is one patch of woodland that has escaped the saw and the ax, and if the temper of its present owner holds, and if the temper of his descendants are as his, it will escape the saw and the ax for long years to come. Learning Arhitecture. Our good friend, James Bowe, was telling me the other day the story of the man who lived in a rented house to whom someone gave a dog. Of course the dog had to have a kennel. The man got some old packing boxes and made it himself. He had never built anything before and making this house for his dog gave him so much pleasure hat he bought a small piece of land on the outskirts of the town and with the help of a local carpenter built a house for himself and family. It is likely that he would be a renter today if someone hadn't given him that dog. Most of us are like the old fashioned automobiles without self-starters. Someone has to crank us before we'll run.—Forbes Magazine, One Cause of Unhappiness Man's unhappiness, as I construe comes of his greatness; it is because there is an Infinite in him, which with all his cunning he cannot quite bury under the finite—Carlyle. DOCUMENT BINDS ERIN TO CROWN RELAND IS GRANTED SAME STATUS AS DOMINION OF CANADA. CONSTITUTION FRAMED WOMAN SUFFRAGE AND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM PROVIDED FOR FREE STATE. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) London.—The draft of the new Irish constitution made public here gives as the document itself states, force of law to the Anglo-Irish treaty and expressly declares that any provision of the constitution or any amendment thereto, or any law enacted under the constitution, which is in any respect repugnant to the treaty, shall be void and inoperative. The constitution thus embodies connection with the British crown, as already established in the treaty, and generally places the relations between Ireland and the empire on the same basis as Canada and the other dominions. The constitution requires every member of the free state parliament to subscribe faith and allegiance to the constitution and swear to be faithful to the king in virtue of the common citizenship of Ireland and Great Britain and Ireland's membership in the British commonwealth of nations. The document contains seventy-nine articles and is considered an up-to-date instrument, not only granting female suffrage, proportional representation, and a referendum to the people, but also empowering the people themselves to initiate legislation. It gives to the chamber great power with respect to money bills without control from the Senate, thus duplicating the position as between the British House of Commons and the House of Lords. It exempts the free state from active participation in war without the consent of Parliament, except in the case of actual invasion, and gives the Irish Supreme Court the fullest powers, only stipulating for the right of citizens to appeal to the king in council against the Supreme Court's decision. It provides for freedom of religion and conscience gives free state citizens full protection against the arbitrary power of court martial, and extends to Parliament exclusive control over the armed forces, as stipulated in the treaty. Planned to Whip Physician. Chicago.—Three men, one of whom is said to have admitted he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, were arrested on the outskirts of Chicago as they were returning in an automobile from Morris, Ill., where they are alleged to have gone to chastise a prominent doctor there. The doctor, they told the police, saw them in town and fled. A cat-o-nine tails, two loaded revolvers and a billy were found in the automobile. Russia and Finland Sign Peace. Moscow.—Russia and Finland signed a treaty of peace to prevent further outbreaks of fighting along the Russo-Finnish frontier. At the same time Russia served warning that if Finnish troops made any more raids Russia would regard it as a cause to war. Under the treaty a neutral zone is established and Finland is required to withdraw her troops from the boundary. Martial Law in Utah Coal Fields Salt Lake City.-The killing of a mine guard and the wounding of a mine official by men who shot at a train near Castle Gate, in the coal strike area of Utah, resulted in the dispatch of three units of the Utah National Guard to the scene and the issuance of a proclamation by Governor Mabey of martial law in the district. Two hundred guardsmen have assumed the responsibility for the maintenance of law and order in the vicilities of Cameron, Helper and Scofield. Force Way Into Hague Parley. The Hague.—The first battle of the Carnegie peace palace was won by correspondents of the whole world, who refused to be excluded from the palace while the postponed Genoa conference on Russian affairs was holding its first meeting. Indignant newspaper men and women ignored the edict of the Dutch foreign office that journalists should not even be admitted to the gardens of the palace and forced their way through the gates and into the building. Labor Federation Indorses Coal Strike Cincinnati, Ohio.—By the vote of every delegate, the American Federation of Labor convention here indorsed the nation-wide coal strike that since April 1 has kept 500,000 miners from work, and also indicated by a demonstration its approval of the threatened walkout of more than 1,000,000 railroad workers. B. M. Jewell, president of the railway employés department of the federation, told the convention that the rail union chiefs would not interfere to stop a strike. The D. P.

AILOR 1025 TWENTY-FIRST 1864 CURTIS STREET WALLACE CLOW South 1514-W THE CHEF'S KITCHEN In Salads and Other Table Delicacies the Raspberry Flavor Will Be Found Very Agreeable. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) An excellent vinegar may be made from raspberries which will retain indefinitely the odor and flavor if properly preserved. Experiments carried out in the bureau of chemistry of the United States Department of Agriculture, have shown that this delicious vinegar can be made in the home when the garden affords a liberal supply when loss of weight ceases, the fermentation is complete; (2) test some of the juice with a Brix or Balling hydrometer. The reading of a juice suitable for making a satisfactory vinegar should not be less than 10. As the fermentation proceeds, this will decrease daily until it is not more than 1 or 2, which indicates that the sugar has practically all been utilized. The action of the yeasts on the cells makes it easy to separate the juice from the berries, squeezing it by hand through cheesecloth. The juice is then returned to the jar; and, to insure a proper acetic fermentation, a small amount of vinegar should be added as a starter. An unpasteurized vinegar is best for this purpose, but if this is not at hand, use any good vinegar in the proportion of 1 part to 4 of the fermented juice. Cover as before and allow to stand without agitation in a warm place. A scum or film will soon form. This should not me disturbed. The acetic fermentation sometimes takes place very rapidly where berries are used. The acidity should be determined daily by withdrawing a small amount of the vinegar by means of suction through a pipette or glass tube and submitting it to a test by the use of a vinegar tester, or in the absence of this, determining by the taste when it is sufficiently acid. As soon as the vinegar reaches a proper degree of acidity (it should contain 4 per cent acetic acid), the fermenting process should be stopped. This is done by first filtering through paper or filtering-cloth, and bottling. Bottles should be well filled and sealed tightly with paraffined corks. Usefulness May Be Prolonged by Cutting Out Worn Parts, and Running a Seam. When the children's stockings become worn at the heels, I still prolong their usefulness by cutting out the ragged part, as indicated by the dotted lines, drawing the opening to- gether and running a seam, says a writer in the Michigan Farmer. This of course, puts the part that was formerly the heel over the top of the foot, but the seam is at a point where no inconvenience is caused by pressure of the shoe. Beef cooked in a fireless cooker is not salted until done. When boiling a cracked egg add vinegar to the water to prevent the white from boiling out. To clean silver, place in a deep bowl, cover with sour milk and let stand for half hour, then rinse in boiling water. Skim the fat from the water in which chicken has been boiled and combine with your usual shortening for pie crust. It will make the crust light and flakey. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) An excellent vinegar may be made from raspberries which will retain indefinitely the odor and flavor if properly preserved. Experiments carried out in the bureau of chemistry of the United States Department of Agriculture, have shown that this delicious vinegar can be made in the home when the garden affords a liberal supply of this fruit. Vinegar made from raspberries is dark in color. Samples made in the bureau of chemistry and properly bottled were found after three years to have retained not only the original degree of acidity but the odor and flavor. In salads and other table delicacies the raspberry flavor is very agreeable. A refreshing hot-weather drink can be prepared by adding a small amount of this vinegar to water, andicing and sweetening to taste. How to Make Vinegar. Two fermentations, the alcoholic and the acetic, are necessary in making vinegar. The method is as follows: Use ordinary straight-sided open-topped stone jars as receptacles. With the aid of a potato masher, mask eight quarts of good, ripe raspberries of either the red or black variety. Stir thoroughly into this mash one-half cake of compressed yeast which has first been macerated in a small amount of the juice. Let jar stand in a warm place (about 75 degrees F.) and keep covered either with lid or with cheesecloth to protect from insects. Stir well every day. About one week is required to complete the alcoholic fermentation. The time needed to utilize the sugar in the berries completely may be determined by one of two methods: (1) Weigh the jar carefully each day and record the weight; THINK THIS OVER This happened at the Chicago Live Stock show. A doctor stood admiring a large, fat hog when a small boy standing by piped up, "That's my father's hog. He got the first prize." "Wonderful," said the doctor. "Certainly a very fine hog. Then he looked at the boy. "How old are you, son?" he asked. "I'm twelve past," said the boy. "Why," said the doctor, you are small for a nine-year-old. What do you eat and drink? "Just what the rest of the folks do—bread, meat, pie, potatoes, cake and tea." "But," queried the doctor, "don't you drink milk? "Naw," said the boy in a tone of disgust, "we feed milk to the hogs." PROPER TIME TO BEAT MOTH Brush and Clean Heavy Garments and Pack Away for Summer— Label All Packages. Now is the time, to brush and clean and sun heavy outside garments and put them in mothproof wrappings. Wash, mend and wrap mittens, muffs, stockings, etc. Mark all packages before putting them away; if it will save time and energy later on. Clean and rearrange bureau drawers and closets. Heavy bedding which is being laid aside and is not washable may be aired, brushed, sunned and packed away for the summer. TASTY TURNIP SOUP RECIPE Cut Two Pounds of Vegetable Into Small Squares, Add Lard and Stir Over Hot Fire. Take two pounds of peeled turnips, cut into small squares, place in a stewpan with four tablespoonfuls of lard, stir them over a quick fire, add a pinch of salt, one tablespoonful of flour, three pints of stock, simmer gently for one and one-half hours and pass the whole through a sieve. Put back in the stewpan and add a little seasoning. Bring to a boil and just before sending to the table add one cupful of good cream. Sausage Retains Flavor.

There are so many good things to be prepared from stale bread that never a crumb should be wasted or even fed to the chickens unless one is too busy to provide a dish of pudding. The following dishes will suggest others: should be wasted or even fed to the chickens unless one is too busy to provide a dish of pudding. The following dishes will suggest others: Steamed Fig Bread Pudding.—Cream one-half cupful of shortening and mix with one-half pound of figs, put through the meat grinder. Add one-half cupful of sugar. Pour over two cupfuls of bread crumbs enough warm milk to be completely absorbed by the crumbs. Add the beaten yolks of two eggs and one-half teaspoonful of salt, mix the chopped figs, butter and crumbs; when well blended add the beaten whites, and a little grated lemon rind. Steam, closely covered in a well greased mold, for two hours. Crumb Cakes.—Add one-half of a teaspoonful of salt to one cupful of fine bread crumbs and one cupful of chopped nuts, one-fourth of a teaspoonful each of white pepper, celery seed and one teaspoonful of poultry seasoning, one tablespoonful of butter, or bacon fat, and two well beaten eggs. Form into small balls or cakes; bake in a quick oven until brown, and serve as an entree with a slice of lemon and a spoonful of rich meat sauce. Bread Crumb Ice Cream.—Allow pieces of stale bread to stand in the even until thoroughly browned all the way through. Roll, lift and measure two cupfuls, add enough thick rich juice from preserved fruit to moisten the crumbs thoroughly—a cupful will be sufficient. Add two cupfuls of heavy cream, or a soft custard made from a pint of milk, two eggs and one-fourth of a cupful of sugar. Freeze as usual and serve with a spoonful of preserved fruit as a garnish for each portion. Veal Fricassee.—Brown a veal steak and cut in pieces, let stew in water to cover, seasoned with onion. When the meat is tender thicken the gravity to the consistency of thin sauce, using two tablespoonfuls of flour to one of the liquid. Serve with young string beans seasoned with butter. Bread Crumb Griddle Cakes.—To a cupful of buttermilk add one cupful of stale bread softened in water, an egg, one-half teaspoonful of soda and sufficient flour to make a drop batter. Cook on a hot griddle and serve with maple syrup. "In quiet eves the stars will bring Their ancient sense of peace to earth; On hedges where the roses cling, The dew will come to crystal birth." THE PIQUANT MINT Mint as a flavoring occupies a very inconspicuous place in the cuisine of many households. As mint sauce to serve with lamb and as a pungent garnish to an feed drink. the limit is exhausted. M. Where one may pick it in the garden the temptation is to use it in too large quantities. A drop or two in a dish will suffive to make a dish especially tempting. In selecting mint, it is well to remember that peppermint has a purplish stem, while the spearmint has a green one. Mint Sauce.—Take twelve stalks of spearmint; wash and chop the leaves very fine. Add one tablespoonful of sugar and one-half cupful of vinegar. Allow the mixture to stand an hour before serving. Mint Sherbet.—Take the juice of three lemons, two cupfuls of sugar and one quart of rich milk. Peel the yellow rind, or grate the rind from two lemons, add 20 stalks of bruised peppermint and cover with boiling water; cover tightly and let stand ten minutes. Strain and cool and add to the lemon, sugar and milk; freeze as usual; serve in sherbet glasses, garnished with a small sprig of mint. Mint Blanc Mange.—Soak six tablespoonfuls of gelatin in one-half cupful of cold water for five minutes. Bring to a boil one quart of milk, then add five tablespoonfuls of cocoa; add this to the softened gelatin, stirring constantly. When partly cooled add three or four arops of peppermint. Mold and serve with sweetened whipped cream. Peppermint Patties.—Take two cupfuls of sugar, one-half cupful of water and two tablespoonfuls of corn sirup; boil to the soft-ball stage; set away to cool in the pan. When still warm, add a few drops of peppermint, a bit of green for coloring, and beat with a wooden spoon until creamy. Drop by spoonfuls on a waxed paper. The fondant may be poured out carefully on a buttered platter and allowed to cool, then stir until creamy. Care should be taken that no grains which may have formed on the sides of the pan are scraped off into the mixture, as that is apt to grain the whole.

SOMETHING YOU WILL LIKE When you have roast lamb the next time, try this sauce to serve with it: Orange Sauce.—Take one-half cupful of gravy from the roast, add two tablespoonfuls of flour and brown sauce, add the juice of two and the rind of one orange grated, or the peeling, boiled in water five minutes, then removed and cut in strips. Add one-half cupful or more one-half cupful of gravy from the roast, add two tablespoonfuls of flour and brown sauce, add the juice of two and the rind of one orange grated, or the peeling, boiled in water five minutes, then removed and cut in strips. Add one-half cupful or more of boiling water, salt, cayenne and the juice of a lemon. Serve hot. Caramel Sponge.—Soften ne-fourth of a package of gelatin in one-fourth of a cupful of water. Brown one-half cupful of sugar, then add one cupful of boiling water, stir until dissolved. add the gelatin and stir over ice water until it thickens. Have ready two egg whites beaten stiff, add them to the gelatin mixture; continue beating until stiff. Turn into a mold. Serve with thin cream. Glazed Tongue.—Wash and soak the tongue over night. In the morning place it in a kettle with cold water to cover. Bring to the simmering point and cook at that temperature for several hours until the tongue is very tender. Set away to cool in the liquor. When cold remove the skin from the tongue and trim. Fasten the tip and end together with a skewer and lay in a mold. Heat three cupfuls of the liquor, add one cupful of tomatoes, a bay leaf, a slice of onion, salt and pepper as needed, twelve cloves, one or two allspice, and simmer for twenty minutes. Strain and add one ounce of gelatin which has been softened in a little water. Then cover the tongue and set away on ice to harden. Unmold and garnish with olives and parsley. Club Salad.—Take one and one-half cupfuls of cooked chicken, twelve slices of bacon, three tomatoes and lettuce. Arrange the lettuce on individual plates, place on each a peeled tomato, a little diced cooked bacon and some mayonnaise dressing, top with some of the chicken, more mayonnaise and a sprig of parsley. Around the dish, spoke fashion, arrange four or six tiny toast points. Baked Corn With Clams.—Take one can of minced clams, one cupful each of canned corn, dry bread crumbs, one cupful of milk, two tablespoonfuls of butter, one teaspoonful of salt, pepper, onion salt and paprika to taste. Mix the ingredients except the butter, put into a buttered baking dish and cover with bits of butter over the top. Bake one-half hour. Fresh corn may be used. Ah, what would the world be to us.

EVERYDAY GOOD THINGS For luncheon or supper or for breakfast or any other meal the good old popover is still popular. Popovers. Beat two eggs until very light, add gradually seven-eighths of a cupful of milk. Popovers. Beat two eggs until very light, add gradually seven-eighths of a cupful of milk. An easy way to measure this is to fill a cup full then take out two tablespoonfuls, if your cup is not marked in eighths; now add one cupful of flour, one-half teaspoonful of salt and beat vigorously for two minutes with an egg beater, then add a teaspoonful of melted butter and pour into well-greased granite cups on deep gem pans to bake in a moderate oven. Cheese Soup.—Scald one quart of milk, add a slice of onion, a blade of mace and a pepper pod. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan, add two tablespoonfuls of flour and when well blended add the milk, remove the seasonings and cook until creamy. Just before serving add one-half cupful of grated cheese, two egg yolks well beaten, salt and pepper to taste; stir until the cheese is melted. Serve at once. Princess Dessert.—Whip one pint of heavy cream, add sugar to sweeten and a few drops of almond to flavor. Moisten small bits of cake with orange juice, or any canned fruit juice will do, adding, if the orange is used, some of the grated rind. Put a layer of the cream in a glass bowl, then a layer of crumbs and a few cubes of jelly, more cream and cake until all is used. Garnish with cubes of jelly and chill before serving. A few nuts will add to the food value of this dish without destroying its appearance. Spring Salad.—Slice tomatoes and cucumbers and place them on head lettuce that has been well chilled. When serving time comes, pour over a French dressing, using five tablespoonfuls of oil, two of tarragon vinegar and one-half cupful or less of Roquefort cheese. Stir until well blended, adding salt and red pepper as needed. If the cheese is not enjoyed that may be omitted, adding a teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce and a few drops of tabacco.

The first three, having textures entirely different from crepey weaves, provide for variety in the PRETTY DARK TAFFE DARK TAFFETAS FOR AFTER M styves, while foulard is a rival for crepe in suppleness and at the same time a wonderful medium for color combinations, in a season that is bent on making the most of color. Along with crepes it plays its part in simple chemise dresses and draped effects and we might even have too much of a good thing in these lovely straight-line frocks if it were not that taffeta and organdie and gingham make different but equally fascinating models that rescue us from monotony in the mode.

They have been developed in many ways, most of them with self trimming, relying on the adaptability of the silk for decorative features, as in the frock at the right of the illustration. Here taffeta makes the plot-edged ruching that trims the long sleeves of georgette and the four panels of georgette that float from the waist line to the hem. The bodice is shirred into corded seams and extended into a girdle. In the frock at the left four panels, longer than the skirt, are attached to it with squares of heavy lace and edged with saw tooth trimming of the taffeta. The same trimming adorns the short sleeves. Summer entices the fancies of those --- who create its millinery into many lovely bypaths, and fashion for this particular summer has brought a wealth of inspiration to designers.

Naturally variety in hats is unending—there are hardly two alike—but many of them have wide brims, and variations of the poke bonnet appear among late arrivals. Materials are airy, colors beautiful and very generously received, nevertheless the big black hat that belongs to midsummer is not without a following. A fine example of the all-black hat appears at the top of the group illustrated. It is made of hair braid, its brim curves upward, and is widened by a border of chiffon. Narrow silk braid forms a simple scroll design on the underbrim and a flat rosette of feathers centered with a jet cabochon S puts an end to the matter of decorations. Another black hat has its wide brim upturned at the front. It is a spirited shape, fittingly trimmed with a flare of fancy feathers that spring from a cluster of flat roses. At the right of the group a leghorn hat finds its usual place in the summer's sun, with huge dahlias set flat against its crown. The hat of straw braid at the bottom of the group barely hints at the poke bonnet in its shape. Its indented brim is bound with silk and about its crown are grapes with roses and other flowers.
