THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY DR. J. R. A. CROSSLAND GIVES GREAT SERVICE TO RACE-HAS LARGE VISION FOR THE FUTURE VOL. XXVIII. (Washington, D. C., June 17, 1922. Special to THE COLORADO STATESMAN.) THE RETURN of Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, special export charge Colored Trainees, U. S. Veterans' Bureau, last Monday from Wilberforce University, marked the completion of an extended tour of inspection of vocational work among our colored ex-service men in the states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois and Ohio. The inspection tour included not only the well known Negro institutions of learning, but many white institutions in which colored men are being trained. This itinerary was one of the most difficult undertakings assumed by our representative since entering upon his duties in Washington. The opportunity for service and future good of the Negro race was interwoven with the trip of Dr. Crossland. As a result the future attitude toward our ex-service men is being definitely established by means of a comprehensive study of all educational facilities, schools, equipment, training opportunities and systematized instruction. His particular mission was to determine whether our men have been assigned to the right sort of training, whether their training is under competent instruction, and has the training brought them definite social and economic values. The particular contribution that Dr. Crossland is making to governmental efforts in educating the former service man is that the benefits derived from these courses when finished will point to a new day of civic advancement within the race. He wants the way open for the fullest expression of all the wit, energy, genius, dexterity, skill, taste, technique and art of every man of every city, every town and every country place. At this writing Dr. Crossland is busily engaged in submitting recommendations for training centers, neuropsychiatric, tuberculosis training stations. Out of these suggestions will come the moulded expression of educational policy as it affects our colored ex-service men throughout the United States. The greatest patience and study is being given this immediate problem by the doctor and his efficient staff, as never before has this country, or any country, for that matter, ever embarked upon such a plan as educating her ex-service men in addition to the compensatory measure of pensions. It is his earnest desire, in the midst of this particular problem, to see that the social and economic life of our race is not only conserved entire, but that the peculiar educational background should be given every consideration in establishing schools for the training of our men. This is one of the most outstanding opportunities ever offered our group to mould the policy that affects so many men, women and children in its national scope. Dr. Crossland is to be congratulated for having come to the city of Washington, alone and unaided, and carving out from the rough, incongruous educational program a position holding so much potential good in training the State Hist & Nut Hist Society State House members of our race in head, heart and hand. In the germination of his department, he found only a few hundred colored men taking vocational training. In the eight months of his official career he has created an office force of eight or ten specially prepared individuals and many competent coordinators, counselors and nurses who are looking after the needs of ex-service men in training as well as increased the number of men in training to 3,775. We already see from the shaping of his beneficient plans and policies definite signs of progress and improvement. President Harding and Col. C. R. Forbes, director of the veterans' bureau, are to be congratulated for having appointed this efficient and able member of our race to such a useful and prominent position, which he so richly deserves, and is eminently fitted. When Dr. Crossland was last interviewed he stated very definitely that "I am supremely happy to be engaged in a work so vital in scope and so large in extent that it affects the 400,000 men who wore the uniform of their country and their dependents. "In the short time that I have been engaged in this work I can give concrete proof of the large measure of benefits secured for our gallant sons. I am too busy just now to tell you definitely what I am trying to do, but my plans are before the bureau and I expect to put into operation a program of vocational training which should meet with the approval of every sound thinking citizen in the country." N. A. A. C. P. President Protests JimCrowism at Harvard N. A. A. C. P. President Protests JimCrowism at Harvard Moorfield Storey, national president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is one of a committee of graduates of Harvard University, who have written condemning the new Jim-Crow policy there and demanding that segregation be discontinued, even though it means a loss of southern white students. A Lawrence Lowell, president of Harvard, is blamed for the Jim-Crow policy. The committee's letter of protest says in part: "We believe that the university owes the Southern man the best possible opportunity for education, but we do not owe him the surrender of our Northern ideas of democracy and our Harvard ideals of justice. We do not believe that the Southerners who come to Cambridge for their education expect Harvard to give up her traditions." The founders of the university, the statement continues, "explicitly contemplates the inclusion of colored, i.e. Indian, students in its classes and buildings. The charter of 1650, still in force, refers to that intention. The present policy of exclusion means that the college is taking sides with those who would increase rather than lesson the burdens of the colored race. It is a Jim-Crow policy. The alma mater of Channing, of John Quincy Adams, of Sumner and of Robert Gould Shaw of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry should not abandon the tradition of Harvard liberalism, tolerance and justice." ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION ABLE PEOPLE'S PA ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 24 1922 Court Tries to Find Colored Blood in Texan Man Who Was Considered White for Years Is Arrested Under Suspicion of Being Colored After Third Marriage. Fort Worth, Texas, June 16.—After having lived for twentythree years as a white man, Fred Teichman, thirty-seven years old, has been arrested and placed under $2,000 bond on the charge of being colored. Teichman, who has lived here for twenty years or more has been fairly successful in business and is a trustee of Northside Methodist church, white. Members of the church went his bond to secure his release. He is also said to belong to three white fraternal organizations. He has been married three times, each wife having been white. No. 1 divorced him. No. 2 died after having given birth to two children, and he has been living with No. 3 for the last five years, and she avers she is perfectly happy and satisfied with her husband and wants the state to keep its nose out of her domestic affairs. Charge Against Teichman. The charge against Teichman, according to the Texas statutes, is "miscegement." The law prohibits the marriage of any person in whose veins runs the blood of a Negro within the third generation, to a person of the white race. Violation of the statute is punishable by a term of two to five years in the penitentiary. Teichman, an expert bookkeeper and accountant, says he never saw his mother, but understood from his father that she was white and said it was seldom that his father ever talked about his mother. N.

Asks Labor Federation to Indorse Dyer Bill The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today made public a telegram sent to Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, during the federation's annual session in Cincinnati, Ohio. The telegram, which is signed by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., asks the labor federation's aid in ending mob law in America. The text is as follows: "June 14, 1922. "Samuel Gompers, President American Federation of Labor, in Session, Cincinnati, Ohio: "May not the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People call upon the American Federation of Labor to adopt at its present sessions a resolution urging the Senate judiciary committee, of which Senator Nelson is chairman, to report out promptly the Dyer anti-lynching bill which was passed by the House of Representatives in January? Within twenty-two days in May twelve Negroes were lynched, five of them burned at the stake. Will not the American Federation of Labor use its power and influence to help end mob law and remove this shame from the nation?" "JAMES WELDON JOHNSON, "Secretary. "70 Fifth Ave., New York." AL IN POOR "June 14, 1922. Batoula Being Translated Into English Batoula Being Translated Into English (By Cleveland G. Allen.) New York, N. Y., June 5.—In a few weeks English people will have an opportunity to read Batonala, the novel written by Rene Maran, a Negro, and which was awarded the Goncourt prize that is the highest literary honor given by France. The announcement of the winning of this coveted prize by a Negro attracted universal attention, especially in literary circles, and so popular has the book become that it is now being translated into several languages in order that the people throughout the world may have an opportunity to read it. The book is now undergoing English translation, the contract having been given to Minor and Patterson of New York, with offices at 232 West 135th street, and who announces that it will be ready for distribution in a few weeks. They have been given sole rights for its distribution from America, and those who desire to have this unique book may write to them for information. Mr. Patterson, who is doing most of the translation, is a native of Haiti and speaks the French language fluently. He is giving the matter his careful attention, and when the work is finished it promises to bring out every detail of the literary qualities of the author. The novel "Batouala" is one of the most remarkable books that has ever been written and is said to be the most vivid description of African customs and traits that has ever come from the pen of an author. Besides portraying native customs it reveals the corrupt political conditions brought on as the result of the unscrupulous actions of the white race that has gone into Africa. The information the book brings out along this line has been startling, and has given the author a unique place as a narrator of conditions. Mr. Maran, who is an employee of the French Colonial government, has been making these observations for several years. The people of America will look for the English edition with much eagerness and all indications point that the sales here will do much to give the book added popularity. It is believed that ats ometime in the future Mr. Maran will visit America. N. A. A. C. P. SECRETARY GOES TO WHITE HOUSE IN DYER ANTILYNCH BILL CRISIS. James Weldon Johnson went to Washington on Friday, June 16, to see President Harding about the Dyer bill, it was announced today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Johnson's visit to Washington was undertaken in an effort to obtain Presidential action on the bill which has been tied up in the Senate committee on the judiciary after having been passed last January by the House of Representatives. "I am going to ask the President," said Mr. Johnson before his departure from New York to Washington. "in view of the fact that this legislation is in accord with his recommendation to Congress in his first message, to make known his desire to have the Dyer anti-lynching bill reported out and enacted into law." CHEYENNE WYO., NEWS COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS HOLD CONVENTION IN CITY Governor, Mayor, Rt. Rev. Bishop McGovern and Others Address Colorado and Wyoming Delegates. THE nineteenth annual convention of the Colored Women's Clubs of the jurisdiction of Colorado and Wyoming brought its sessions to a close last Friday afternoon at the A. M. E. church, where the conference had been in progress since Wednesday morning. The convention, the most successful in the history of the organization, was presided over by Mrs. C. H. Redd, State President of the Federation. Mrs. Alice Lamb of Colorado Springs is Vice President. A delightful reception took place on Wednesday evening, attended by a large assemblage of interested club women and their husbands. Following the customary singing of the Federation song, Governor Robert D. Carey was introduced by the Federation President. He delivered a stirring address of welcome on behalf of the state of Wyoming. Governor Carey was followed by Edwin P. Taylor, mayor of Cheyenne, whose address of welcome in behalf of the city was heartily received. Responses were made by Rev. Endicott, pastor of the A. M. E. church, and by Mrs. Ollie Smith, president of the Searchlight Club of Cheyenne. One of the most interesting features of the Wednesday evening's program was an address by Mrs. Elizabeth Twyman of Denver. The annual address of the President of the Federation was delivered by Mrs. Redd, and received much praise. Musical numbers by Mrs. Alexander and Miss Alice Norton, delegates from Colorado Springs and Denver, gave added pleasure to the entertainment. Fruit punch and cakes were served, at the conclusion of the program, for the refreshment of the audience. The sessions continued during Thursday and Friday. The ladies in attendance represented 27 Colored Women's Clubs of the states of Colorado and Wyoming. The program of the two days was of unusual merit. Among the up-to-the-minute topics discussed were the following: "The Flapper of Today Compared With the Belle of '66." "Legislative Work for Women Accomplished by the State of Colorado," led by Mrs. C. Banks of Denver. "Shall Dancing Be Included in the Church Program?" "Is Japan a Menace to the United States?" a spirited paper read by Mrs. Christine Green of Colorado Springs. An exhibit of needlework attracted most favorable comment. Three hundred and five different articles were on display, including hand-made pillow slips, beautiful clothes for children, exquisite pieces of hand embroidery and crochet. Mrs. Lennie of Cheyenne exhibited a bedspread made of No. 50 white thread, the design the great American eagle. The making of the spread has kept Mrs. Lennie busy for four years. The convention closed Friday afternoon with Right Rev. Patrick A. McGovern, bishop of Cheyenne, as the distinguished speaker of the occasion. A vote of thanks was given by the ladies of the visiting delegations, in which appreciation was expressed of the gracious hospitality extended by the ladies of the Searchlight Club and the pastor and congregation of the A. M. E. church. Mrs. Redd stated the Federated Women's Clubs made better citizens. She also spoke of God's high intent, the ultimate hope of the Negro, the letting down of the bars to labor unions and of helpful legislation. The delegates were made to feel welcome and were cheerful and happy. Evelyn Fredericka Cave, the adopted baby of the Federation, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Sam Cave on June 14, and was named in honor of the meeting. Baby Cave has 305 foster parents, who will be interested in the baby's future. NO 36 In fifteen minutes' time the generous clubs of the state of Colorado and jurisdiction, assisted by the citizens of Cheyenne and various civic and social clubs, raised $300 to help pay the expenses of Miss Winora Carter to complete a course in chemistry. Mrs. Redd was elected delegate to the National Club Women's meeting at Richmond, Va., August 6-12. The Northwestern Federated Clubs will entertain clubs passing through Chicago en route to the national convention. St. John's Day was fittingly celebrated by members of Western Star Lodge No. 6, F. & A. M. Brief addresses by Brothers Walter Davis and Geo. Randall were followed by Rev. J. M. Endicott, who delivered an able sermon. Rev. Endicott accepted his text from Psalm xxxvii, 37th verse: "Mark thou the perfect, and behold the man of uprightness; because that surely of this man the later end is peace." Rev. Endicott's oration was truly spicuous, but at times was allegorized, suitable to the time and place. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Jefferson returned to their summer home and will reside here during the summer and early autumn. Mrs. Walter Davis is feeling very well after undergoing a minor operation. Mrs. Daisy Thompson has returned from an extended visit in Lincoln, Neb. Mrs. Clarence Faxton has moved to 613 West Nineteenth street. Miss Nora Brown, daughter of Mrs. Corine Mitchell, has passed a successful school year in Washington, D. C. Miss Brown will enter high school next session. Rt. Rev. Bishop McGovern's oration, "Democracy," is a masterpiece. Attack Borah's Stand on Anti- Lynching Bill Senator Borah was criticised today for his statement that the Dyer anti-lynching bill was unconstitutional, by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Johnson suf'1: "Senator Borah has publicly confessed himself as believing that under the constitution the federal government is powerless to protect its citizens within its borders accused of crime, against trial and execution by mob. "The United States government can use its armed force to exact protection of Americans from mobs in Mexico, but not in Texas and Georgia, states and state governors, notably in Mississippi and Texas, have recently confessed their inability to prevent lynching. Senator Borah completes the picture of anarchy by contending that not only the states are powerless, but the federal government as well. In effect, Senator Borah maintains that within the United States the so-called constitutional guarantees are utterly meaningless. "American citizens in those states where lynching prevails find themselves in the anomalous position of being residents in states which refuse to guarantee them trial by due process of law when accused of crime, and citizens of a government which confesses its inability to do so. "Those who deny warrant in the constitution for the federal government to protect its citizens within its own borders are not looking at the constitution itself, but are lost in a maze of judicial decisions on the constitution, decisions which in the case of the fourteenth amendment were arrived at through hair-splitting and sophistry and given for the express purpose of modifying, limiting and even nullifying that amendment."

Box 116 1824 Curtis Street, Room 25 Phone Main 7417 THE STRIKE AGAIN we are approaching the hour of another threatened railroad strike, which, if carried out on the lines proposed by union leaders, means general industrial and transportation paralysis to the nation. The strike is to follow a reduction of wages ordered by the Railroad Labor Board to take place July 1st. It is unfortunate that wages must be reduced on the railroads or in any other line of industry, for the working man as a rule is never greatly overpaid. But the American Federation of Labor drove home some pretty tight bargains during the war period and under the Wilson regime when it apparently had the country by the throat. At the same time the railroads were given a transfusion of blood into the veins of their systems by a boost in rates that seemed almost prohibitive at the time. However, a general reduction in rates was ordered some time ago and all of us enthusiastically applauded the verdict. This reduction in railroad rates came about as a part of the readjustment plan to reduce the high cost of living and in deference to the dictum of the law of political economy. Certainly any one with a particle of foresight or reasoning power could readily figure that a wage reduction would follow this order. Immediately the American Federation of Labor got busy and ordered that a strike vote be taken. It was taken and the threatened upheaval is now upon us. Naturally every American citizen is interested in this strike and in the proportions it may assume. Over a million men will be involved in this war upon the transportation systems of the country, which in reality means a war upon all American citizens. The general public after all will be the principal sufferer; it is known as the great third party to all industrial disputes. Many of our group will be affected directly more as railroad employees rather than members of the union. The American Federation of Labor has carefully seen to it in years past that the Negro has had none too much say in the conduct of its affairs, and we do not fancy that our vote had any appreciable effect upon the order to go out on a general strike July 1st. And for this reason we have but little to gain and certainly nothing whatever if any degree of violence results. We do not by this suggest in any sense that the Negro will be pacified by anything that may be handed out to him, for such would be far from true. But we mean that when high wages are paid we want our full share, not based upon color but upon ability, and that when a reduction comes it applies to us in like form. In each and every event we cannot forget the continued efforts on the part of the labor unions to secure "full crew" legislation in the several states of the Union where some of our great trunk lines have headquarters, and once this is accomplished the Negro railroad employee will be a relic of other days. Our group has fought this species of legislation with signal success for many years, and in most cases have had the sympathetic aid of railroad officials. Therefore let us stand up like men and fight for all just rights, but in so doing let us not kill the goose that laid the golden egg. PROGRESS AND CRIME. THE marked increase in crime violence throughout the whole civilized world, and particularly noted in the United States at present, is one of the truly alarming conditions that must be met bravely and effectively soon if our social fabric is to longer endure. Never has human life been held as cheaply as now; never have the great metropolitan dailies headlined such an array of dastardly crimes as now. Only a few years ago all nations of the world were seeing things in blood, in which all their energies, power and concentration of effort was toward the snuffing out of lives and the destruction of property. Though a nominal peace is now presumed to prevail throughout these once belligerent nations, individual members of society are still seeing in red and not scruple at the taking of human life in the most shocking manner possible. The psychology of it all is decidedly baffling and difficult of analysis. We boast of living in the most advanced age since the beginning of time. We point with pride to our great institutions of learning that dot every section of our country; we possess and support the most imposing and luxurious church edifices of all time; the heart of man is being bidden to beat in unison to the angelic harmony of countless well trained choirs; sermons and sermonettes can be heard on almost every corner, even in our crowded cities; municipal leagues, welfare societies and uplift councils were never so numerous as now, and still the orgie of crime goes on; man still fails to be deterred by the omnipresent command, "Thou shalt not kill." In this regard Denver is contributing its shameful part. Without stopping to enumerate the daily grind of revolting crimes recorded here, it is sufficient to note that two of the most cold-blooded murders within the history of the state have taken place here recently. One was the shooting down of a highly respected, law-abiding colored barber; the other was the brutal slaying of a trusting, helpless woman. We stand aghast and wonder, "Whither are we drifting." We do not want to readily believe that the world is growing worse or that Christian influences are fading. We dread to think of the sins of the present day as growing out of a loss of the idea or consciousness of God, or that we stand upon the edge of the abyss of unbelief. Some weeks ago a noted Kansas writer gave to the press a remarkable treatise in condemnation of the growing practice of paying small children a sum of money to go out and secure stray dogs, that they might be delivered to the public pound to be killed. William Allen White, for it was he, had no defense to offer in behalf of the stray cur dog. Perhaps he was worth no more than the 25 cents usually paid boys for his capture; and perhaps he needed killing for the good of the community and for the dog. But the thing that did interest White was the psychological effect to be had upon the assimilative mind of young boys who were being taught to hold life cheaply and looked forward to the daily slaughter of dogs with a perfect calm. Mr. White feared the effect of these impressions upon the matured mind in after years, and he was right. But how about the effect upon the minds of the thousands of young boys and girls, to say nothing of expectant mothers, who gleefully stand around and witness the burning and torture of human beings and then load themselves down with charred souvenirs of the occasion? The dog was mercifully put to death by a bullet at 25 cents per; the human being is tortured over a slow fire and goes writhing into a painful, lingering death. Which of these two events contributes in largest volume to the criminality of the age? Which will leave the more lasting and hurtful impression upon the human mind? Find and apply a proper answer to these questions and a just solution of the present crime wave may be within the possibilities. It was the prophet Isaiah who sagely said, "Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth your stubble; your breath shall devour you." To Enable Us to Do Better as a Government Than We Have in the Past By SECRETARY A. B. FALL, in Dearborn Independent. The public domain is fast disappearing. The time has come to determine, if only approximately, its extent and its value. Wealth from our public domain—that is to say, wealth from our natural resources—has been brought in the past by American initiative, American energy, American industry. We possess business capacity in a most remarkable degree as individuals. It is essential that we take stock, determine what we have and how much of it, to enable us to do better, as a government, in the future than we have done in the past. The public domain is fast disappearing. The time has come to determine, if only approximately, its extent and its value. Wealth from our public domain—that is to say, wealth from our natural resources—has been brought in the past by American initiative, American energy, American industry. We possess business capacity in a most remarkable degree as individuals. It is essential that we take stock, determine what we have and how much of it, to enable us to do better, as a government, in the future than we have done in the past. Data recently prepared by the Department of Interior (of course, it will be understood that these figures are merely estimates) show that the total valuation of the "national estate"—the actual value of products when the same are realized upon—would be a minimum of $150,000,000,000. It might be more, much more. Of this amount the estimated amount that the United States would receive by way of royalty, rental and other miscellaneous returns, would be about $12,000,000,000. Needless to say, so as to be within reason, all valuations have been set at their minimum, whether as to land areas, tonnages of coal and phosphates, volume of oils, quantities of timber, and so on. The net worth of this vast wealth to the government is as follows: Coal royalties, $5,900,000,000; Alaska coal royalties, $1,000,000,000; oil royalties, $175,000,000; Alaska oil royalties, $2,500,000; oil shale royalties, $5,000,000,000; phosphate royalties, $280,000,000; potash royalties, $30,000,000; annual returns from water power, Alaska and United States, $1,500,000; value of vacant lands subject to entry (not included in private estates) $310,000,000; national forest lands, $1,000,000,000, and value of Indian reservation minerals, $5,800,000,000. The approximate area of the public lands of the United States, reserved and unreserved, was, at the end of the last fiscal year, 433,265,102 acres. Of this the unappropriated and unreserved area, exclusive of Alaska, was 200,320,128 acres. The reservations and withdrawals, not including reclamation withdrawals, consisted of 232,944,954 acres. Approximately 154,000,000 acres, reserved and known as forest reserves, for the greater part are used for grazing and are fitted for grazing homesteads, while other large areas are susceptible of cultivation and may hereafter furnish homes for some of our population. The Department of the Interior has jurisdiction over these forest lands when thrown open and has jurisdiction also over mines and mineral claims and agricultural entries on such reserves. The Story of American Wars: Gallant Deeds and Lack of Preparation By GEN. JOHN J. PERSHING, in American Legion Weekly. The story of American wars is one of gallant deeds and great personal courage on the part of the individual and soldier, but lack of preparation and training has always led to undue loss of life and heavy financial burdens. While we boast of having been victorious in our early foreign wars, it was due more directly to the weakness of the enemy and his engagements elsewhere than to the exercise of wise forethought in preparation or to superior strategical or tactical ability on the part of our own forces or their leaders. As to the World war, I firmly believe that a substantial condition of preparedness of our land and naval forces, backed by an adequate merchant marine, would have kept us out of the war, and would have placed us in a position to have brought it to an early termination. Moreover, it is not too much to say that under these conditions and with strong leadership, we might have prevented the World war altogether. Advertising Is a Friend of Housewife in Solving Her Buying Problems Woman's work is the biggest business in the world. Uncle Sam's own estimate of the income value of woman's services is eighteen billion dollars annually. This is larger than the yearly value of all farm products or of the total output of the steel and iron mills. The American housewife buys a thousand dollars worth of goods a minute. She buys 48 per cent of all merchandise for family use, with a voice in 24 per cent more; she selects 50 per cent of automobiles, and buys over 90 per cent of dry goods and food products. Woman is the purchasing agent of the home. The problems of the home buyer were never so perplexing and so difficult—how can we get more value for our money? Advertising lowers prices because it increases distribution and widens demand. That is why, as a consumer, I am thoroughly convinced that advertising is a friend of the housewife, and of real assistance and economy in solving her buying problems. Advertising is a continuous, permanent, international exposition through which all the merchants and manufacturers may bring their goods. By REPRESENTATIVE JAMES T. BEGG of Ohio. If we continue to go in the same direction in a legislative way as we have in the past ten years for the next ten or twenty years, I warn you men in this house that you will have destroyed the principles of a representative government and established an autocracy in every department. Every activity of the human being will be supervised and controlled and regulated by some functionary in the government called a bureau chief. As it is today it is hard to find a group or a community relying on their own ingenuity and inventive genius for solving the problems affecting their locality; but on the contrary, they are all getting up petitions and appealing to congress to pass some law to do for them that which they should do for themselves. This tendency breeds unrest, dissatisfaction, agitation, and discontent. And let me say that no nation ever existed after a majority of its people became dissatisfied with its workings. I believe in our form of government and in the American people and their good sense, but I also fear the price we will ultimately have to pay for our thoughtless folly.

You cannot do them a better turn than to report an irregularity in the telephone service. Give them prompt and intelligent information about the slightest discourtesy, the smallest fault in equipment or the least aggravating delay, and they will thank you. They have no higher material ambition than to move upward in the ranks of telephone employes, and they know that as they give better service the road to promotion grows easier. It pays any business man to get better acquainted with the people who help him do business. The telephone man in this town is worth knowing better.

Secretary Townsend has been assisting the Sunday School Institute in its program during the past week. His services are highly mentioned. He also had a very successful time at the convention that met at Boulder, where he was the only colored representative. Secretary Bell was shocked almost out of his boots when Frank Jones, one of his old boys belonging to the first set, came upon him as he was working last Saturday morning. He was surprised at Frank's growth, and of the knowledge and intelligence he displayed concerning persons and places. "Never give a boy out," said he, as Frank went away. "He has a thousand chances in which to make good." COLORED STUDENTS AT TEACH ERS' COLLEGE WIN HONORS. Miss Myra Elizabeth Glenn, theestimable daughter of our own Mr. and Mrs. O. W.

The minister in charge, Rev. C. E. Chapman, was the speaker both morning and evening. At the morning hour Rev. Chapman used as his subject, "Builders.' Among other things, he said: "Each of you is a builder; each builder has the right to choose his own foundation. Some day your building and foundation will be tried, and only one building and one foundation will stand. That building is the building founded upon the rock, Christ Jesus, and that foundation is the rock, Christ Jesus." At the evening hour the subject was "The Ten Virgins." These sermons were enjoyed by all who heard them. Next Monday evening Rev. Chapman will leave for Eldorado, Kan., where he goes to attend the Kansas district conference, where he is to preach the first Sunday in July. He will preach next Sunday here, both morning and evening. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. The Cammel Undertaking Company.

Phone York 4708-J. 2542 Gaylord St. WORK OF COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION. The work of the Denver Civic and Commercial Association for the city of Denver can be paralleled by no similar body in this country. The work of uplift and of harmonizing the various business, commercial, social and other activities furnishes an object lesson not to be found elsewhere. The Colored branch of this association is justly proud of its affiliation, and, though working under severe handicaps, they are trying to emulate the parent body by efforts and admonitions which, if followed assiduously, will greatly enhance the good work in the sphere of their activities. Some day, some time, the beautiful ideals of this Colored Civic and Commercial Association will develop into real community ornaments and the work now being done will show to greater advantage. At the present this work for social and business activity, which is cumulative, will bear fruit worthy of the community. AN OBSOLETE CUSTOM. IT is high time that our high class up-to-date churches were calling a halt upon the tiresome and annoying habit of reading a long list of notices from the pulpit during services of worship. This custom has grown to such a point that many of our churches are being used as exclusive advertising mediums. This is not only boresome to the congregation but is a flagrant imposition upon the good nature of the minister and the church trustees. The church of today has many functions to perform far more valuable than giving over fifteen minutes or more to the telling of social events for weeks in advance. Let the churches get together and unitedly place a ban upon this very bad habit. GEORGE S. CONTEE, PIONEER DENVER CITIZEN, ANSWERS FINAL ROLL CALL. AFTER a residence of forty years in Denver, Colo., and engaging in all the activities that accompany the growth of cities, George S. Contee, formerly of Washington, D. C., and a resident of this city since the spring of 1883, answered the final roll call after a few weeks illness at Mercy Hospital, where he underwent an operation. Mr. Contee was held in very high esteem by the officials and employés of the Denver & Rio Grande Railway Company and the Denver National Bank, having served these institutions for many years and given entire satisfaction, as the numerous testimonials he received from time to time bore proof of his faithfulness to these, the only employers he had during four decades. M. The deceased was also very prominent in church and fraternal societies, having been warden of the Episcopal Church of the Holy Redeemer for several years and having filled many of the highest offices in the Odd Fellows and Masonic Orders. Respected and beloved by all who knew him, the deceased associated himself with every institution and association that labored for the uplift of his people, the improvement of community life and a better understanding between the races. He was one of the leading members of the Denver Colored Civic Association, one of the most important institutions of our western country, and was re-elected to the board of directors up to the time of his illness. In his death the community has lost a real citizen, the church a great advocate and staunch supporter, fraternal societies a builder and ardent worker, and his family and other relatives a devoted husband, loving son and affectionate brother. He leaves to mourn his loss a wife, mother in Washington, D. C., brother, J. R. Contee of Denver, five sisters, and a number of nephews, nieces and a host of friends. Another link between the old and new Denver is broken and the places of such characters cannot easily be filled. After a life of 62 years, Geo. S. Contee has gone from labor to a meritorious reward, leaving an example of the result of a life of service. THE COLORADO STATESMAN offers its deepest sympathy to the bereaved. Funeral will be held Tuesday from the Church of the Redeemer, Douglass Undertaking Company in charge.

Seventeenth at Curtis Capital, Surplus and Undivided Profits, $2,500,000.00 The Denver National Bank PROMINENT CITIZEN DIES SUD- DENLY. James E. Laws, prominent citizen of Steamboat Springs, Colo., and formerly of Denver, was found dead in his home last week, Wednesday, June 14, and from all indications must have been stricken while he was partaking of a noonday meal. Mr. Laws was born in Missouri sixty-two years ago and was educated in Lawrence, Kan. A man of splendid physique and character, he was held in much esteem by the citizens of Steamboat Springs among whom he lived, and worked for a number of years. He was spoken of as being very faithful to duty, and a man whose purpose was to help in the building-up of a community, as well as proving the worth of a citizen by maintaining self-respect and contributing to good government in becoming a home owner and accumulating that which is conducive to good and honest living. His body was brought to Denver, accompanied by Attorney Thomas Campbell, last Monday, and funeral service was held on Thursday, June 22, at the partors of the Douglass Undertaking Company, where many friends paid their last respect to one who accomplished much during his life. He leaves a sister and niece, also many friends, to mourn his loss. Interment at Riverside cemetery. The COLORADO STATESMAN offers its sincere sympathy to the relatives. BOULDER, COLO., NEWS. Say, did you say it was hot? Yes it is, and then some. Rev. Carter spoke at both services at Allen Chapel Sunday night. He spoke from "What Shall I Do With Jesus?" Rev. Jackson of the Baptist Church spoke Sunday night and morning. He took as his subject Sunday night, "Living a Life for God." There is quite a number of our race attending the university during the summer term. Mr. S. D. Johnson, from Fort Smith, Ark., principal of Lincoln High School, is attending summer school here. Mrs. S. D. Johnson, wife of Mr. Johnson, is also here attending school with her husband. Mrs. Johnson is instructor of Latin at Lincoln High. They are making their home with Mrs. Mary White, at 2202 Goss. Mrs. J. H. Johnson, Mrs. Farmer and three Misses McGowan, from Tulsa, Oklahoma, are making their home with Mrs. S. B.

In the southern portion of the Appelline peninsula the remark, "May an accident befall you!" is only a friendly way of passing the time of day. But expression of the hope, "May you be carried home in four pieces," is due cause for riot on the spot. There are many ways, the world over, for cursing your enemies, but when you come down to it they are rather trivial things to say. Ginsles in History. The original gipsies appeared in Europe at about the beginning of the Sixteenth century. It is probable that they were of Hindu origin and were either exiled because of their religious beliefs or ran away from the persecution of Tamerlane, or Timur, the great Tartar conqueror who invaded India. As their origin was a mystery to Europe when they appeared on its Eastern plains, some German savant decreed that they were Egyptians. The popular corruption of the word "Egyptian" is the name by which they are now known the world over. Historic Dead Sea. The Dead sea, a lake in Astatic Turkey and lying near the southern extremity of Palestine, probably got its name because its atmosphere was formerly supposed to be fatal to life—an erroneous idea, for the people who live on its banks are said to be in the enjoyment of good health. But fish cannot live in its waters, which are especially nauseating. The Jordan and sfx other rivers flow into the Dead sea, which has no outlet, but gets rid of its surplus by evaporation. In the Bible this baneful body of water is called the Salt Sea of the Plains and Sea of the Arabah. Famous Musicians. A London writer calls attention to the fact that the names of many composers begin with B. He notes Bach, Beethoven, Bax, Bliss, Bridge, Berners, Brahms, Berlioz, Borodine, Baile, Bennett, Bellini, Bantock, Bizet, Bishop, Brunneau, Boccherini, Balakireff, Boyce, Busoni, Byrd and Bull. Salt and Blood Pressure. It is said to be positively determined that by cutting out the salt from one's diet the blood pressure rating will be very much reduced. Highest-Priced Tobacco. The highest-priced tobacco grown in the world is produced in a certain area near the western coast of Cuba which is more than twenty-five miles square. The fine aromatic tobacco grown there can be produced nowhere else.—Brooklyn Eagle. 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. "Keep it up," advised Bobby gleefully, "that's the way I get things." Meanings of Dream Faces. To see a grim, distorted face denotes suffering. To see a handsome face of the opposite sex, good news and happiness. To dream your face is handsome signifies long life, but if pinched and pale, sorrow, loss of a friend. If your face is dirty and you wash it, you will repent of some actions. Wandering Greenland. Norwegian scientists claim that Greenland is moving slowly to the west at the rate of about ten yards a year. They say it was once connected with Norway and has moved 875 miles in the last 100,000 years and still is moving. Initials of Eamed Pioneer The name "D. Boone" was discovered chiseled in a rock at the mouth of a cave in Lincoln county, West Virginia. As the forms of the letters correspond with those found in the rocks of Kentucky it is thought that the famed hunter at one time made an expedition into that section of the country. Climate and Deafness. It is curious to note how deaf mutism varies in different countries. In Switzerland, for instance, owing to the prevalence of cretinism, 245 per 100,000 of the inhabitants suffer from it, whereas the general average among European countries is 79, and in the United States, 68, per 100,000. Our Clerics. Little by little the jokesmith's stock in trade is being depleted through scientific discovery. An English professor now declares that people get sleepy during the sermon because they hypnotize themselves gazing fixedly at the preacher. It is not because they are inattentive, but because they are too attentive. Therefore, jokes on the subject are not knocks for the parson, but boosts. ```markdown ``` COLORADO STATESMAN ```markdown ``` RELIABLE chronicle of their doings andgress; a faithful miracle their wants, their hope for best aspiration.

Within a few days the Republican leaders seemingly have found some cheer in the situation which has been gloomy, for they are predicting that the bill will become a law in July. It is true that the Democrats of the senate are showing some inclination to let up a little in debate, thus giving the opposition party the feeling that the Fordney-McCumber bill may become a law earlier than a week or two ago it was thought possible. There are obstacles, however, in the way of even a fairly quick passage of the customs measure, obstacles which have nothing to do with Democratic opposition to the schedules as they are written. It may be an old story now, but again let it be said that the majority in the senate has proposed more than 2,000 amendments to the tariff bill as the majority in the house gave it its sanction. Even with the possibility of cloture proceedings, which will limit debate in the senate, there necessarily will be some difficulty in straightening out the differences of opinion between the two houses of congress. When the bill passes the senate a conference committee to meet a like committee of the house will be appointed. The deliberations of this joint committee are likely to be long drawn out. President Urges Ship Subsidy. President Harding desires that certain legislation other than the tariff shall be enacted by the present congress. He has been urging the leaders of his party to press the so-called ship subsidy bill to passage. It definitely is known that a good many of the administration leaders think that subsidy legislation is as important to party success as tariff legislation. They say: "Something must be done for the ships or nothing can be done with the ships." President Harding seemingly is heart-bound to subsidy legislation. His interest in the subject through the years has been set forth in the press from time to time. Seemingly the President saw an opportunity in the present merchant marine circumstances to strike for something in which he has believed. Therefore he urged congress and still is urging it to care for the merchant marine through legislation, and there is a feeling that the Republican leaders may conclude to put the bill through the house this summer and to promise that the senate will care for it next winter. If the subsidy bill is to be given consideration by the house of representatives it will not mean necessarily that congress will have to sit long after the tariff is passed, unless of course the senate determines also to give consideration to the merchant marine measure. The house soon will adjourn for three days at a time, waiting on senate action on the tariff bill. Of course, if the house is so inclined it need not take these three-day adjournments, but can, under the direction of the majority, go to work at ship subsidy. Why Democrats Are Cheerful. The Democrats are cheerful today over the November prospect. They say that the country seems to like President Harding, but that the country does not like the Republican congress. It is true, apparently, if one may judge by what both Democrats and Republicans here say, that the President stands better with the country than his party's majority in congress stands. Therefore, it may be that the Republican majority in congress, recognizing the fact, may yield to the President's desire that legislation other than the tariff shall be enacted at the present session, at least by the house of representatives. Bonus legislation still is in abeyance. The country knows, of course, that the President has desired one thing and that the party leaders in house and senate have desired another thing. Recently there have been indications that there may be in the senate a combination of Democrats and Republicans to put through bonus legislation of a kind to which a large body of the Republican senators are opposed. What the President will do with this legislation when it reaches him for signature depends largely, of course, upon the form which it takes. Some of the Democrats are as anxious for an early adjournment as are the Republicans. For the main part, however, the Democrats who wish to get away are those whose seats are conceded to be in danger next November. It would appear as if the majority of the Democrats would like to keep congress in session as long as possible, because a long session will add to the appearance of laggardness on the part of the Republican majority. Icebergs and Derelicts Abound. Reports come to Washington of the appearance of icebergs in the northern seas, and with these reports are others concernderelicts, ships which have been abounded at sea and which are a meme to navigation. The great war and its disasters have not swept from the memory of the government officials the sinking ten years ago of the Titanic, an accident of the sea which was accompanied by such a terrible loss of life. Means are taken today to guard the ocean liners against the dangers of icebergs and the derelicts. Within a circle of flowering bushes near the White House there is a fountain which is a reminder of the Titanic disaster. It was erected in memory of Maj. J. Archibaud W. Butt, President Taft's aide, and to that of Francis D. Millet, the artist, Butt's friend and companion on the voyage. The two men whose lives and deaths are thus commemorated went to their fate heroically after, like nearly every other man on the ill-fated vessel, having helped the women and children into life boats to see them off to safety. After the close of the war certain parts of the seas were swept to pick up floating mines. In one or two places this work is still going on, for some little danger remains to navigation from these black explosives of the depths. So far as the matter of derelicts is concerned, it is known that the reports show that scores of them are floating about the seas in the various parts of the world. Government vessels virtually all the time are seeking derelicts for the purpose of destroying them, but it seems that as fast as one is destroyed another takes its place. Derelict Worse Than Iceberg. Vessels always are being deserted at sea by their crews when it seems that sinking is imminent. There is never much of an increase in the number of derelicts. It stays about the same year in and year out. The derelict is as much of a danger to navigation as an iceberg, and perhaps more so, because it is apt to get in the way of ships at every season of the year, while icebergs are a danger, ordinarily, only for about six weeks. The usual time of the iceberg menace is in late May and June, but occasionally they break loose from their "moorings" much earlier than usual. This was the case in the year when the Titanic went to its doom southeast of Cape Race. Transatlantic passengers are not always told how close they pass to danger. Sometimes, however, they discover their escapes for themselves. A letter received a few days ago by the writer from a friend abroad says that the ship upon which the voyager took passage to Europe passed within 200 feet of an iceberg which was discovered only when the fog suddenly lifted. Narrow Escape for Big Liner. Not long ago one great steamship eastward bound passed a derelict in the night, and escaped hitting it by a margin of less than 300 feet. The derelict was seen by a man on the bridge in the darkness of the night. The voyagers learned of their narrow escape only by an oversight of the captain of the ship. As soon as the derelict had been passed he ordered wireless messages to be sent to warn other steamships in the se me line of commerce that a derelict was in their path. It is the custom of passenger steamers to have wireless messages of greeting sent by passing steamers posted on the bulletin board at the head of the main compartment. The day after the derelict had been passed one of these messages was posted, the officers of the ship overlooking the fact that after the usual greetings the captain of the passing vessel thanked his fellow captain for warning him of the derelict which his ship had passed the night previous. In the United States navy a good many years ago there was a vessel called the Vesuvius. It carried dynamite guns. It is now out of commission. The first opportunity which the Vesuvius had to test its guns while on an actual voyage and to learn just what could be done with ordnance which fired dynamite under methods now dead and gone came when a derelict was encountered on the high seas. The abandoned vessel, which was of course a menace to navigation, was a lumber-laden schooner. The government ship blew it up, but lumber will not sink, and following the "attack" on the derelict the surface of the sea for a considerable distance looked like the "floorway" of a lumber yard. However, the scattered fragments were no longer a menace to the ships that passed in the night. Little Ellene came slowly into the house and said: "Mamma, on't the Bible say we mustn't swear?" "Yes, dear." "Well, Johnny Staub just sweared a awful word at me." "The idea! Why, what did he say?" "He said, 'By golly, you make me tired!'"—San Francisco Chronicle. The Market. "In the old days a man was expected to buy his votes." "Yes," replied Senator Sorghum. "It is no longer thus. As in the case of so many other things, the price of votes has gotten to be positively prohibitory." Blinks—That Judge is a smart man. Jinks—He is that. He gave me a sentence once that took six months to work out.—New York Sun.

Boiling vegetables, although so common and usual a method, is only one of a variety of ways in which they may be prepared for the table. Each vegetable has certain characteristics for which it is liked, and the endeavor in serving should be to emphasize the best qualities. If it is served because of its crisp texture, or its attractive color, or its distinctive flavor, or because it contains some particular nutritious substance, special care should be taken to preserve that characteristic. Methods of Cooking Vary. The method of cooking selected depends somewhat on the place of the vegetable in the menu. A fried vegetable or one baked in combination with a protein-rich material may be in texture and flavor an excellent substitute for meat. Young green peas have a delicacy of flavor and freshness of color that should be preserved by gentle, rather than violent, cooking. Many persons eat raw celery for its crispness; therefore, after it is washed it should be put in a cold place so that it will have that texture. Since spinach is often recommended for children because of its vitamins and its high proportion of iron, every effort should be made to preserve these. Moreover, the method that brings out the good points of a vegetable generally conserves the food value. In general, vegetables should be cooked in small quantities of water to which salt has been added in the proportion of about one teaspoonful to a quart of water. Cabbage, onions and other strong-flavored kinds are sometimes exceptions of this rule and are cooked either in large quantities of water or even in two or three waters, so that the flavor will be milder. If the cooking water is saved to flavor soups or sauces, there is no loss of minerals. Spinach, lettuce and other tender-leaf vegetables can be cooked without the addition of any water. They are succulent enough themselves and have enough water clinging to them after being washed so that they will not stick to the kettle if stirred carefully RIPE STRAWBERRIES TEMPT IN DESSERTS Splendid Recipe for the Experimental Kitchen. Seasonable Variation Suggested of Old Fashioned "Hard Sauce," So Useful With Puddings. Cakes (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) A seasonable variation of old-fashioned "hard sauce" that is so useful with cottage pudding, boiled rice, cornstarch, blanc-mange, sponge cake, and other desserts which need a little dressing up is made by using ripe strawberries. The following recipe is from the experimental kitchen of the United States Department of Agriculture. Strawberry Sauce. 1 cupful powdered 1-3 cupful butter. sugar. 11-3 cupful straw- White 1 egg. berries. Cream the butter, add the sugar gradually, the egg white beaten stiff, and the strawberries, and beat until the fruit is mashed. Strawberry Charlotte. Another very attractive and more elaborate dessert can be easily and quickly made with sponge cake as a basis. Bake the cake in a sheet and cut into strips to line the sides of a glass dish, fill the center with strawberries that have been lightly mixed with whipped cream slightly sweetened and seasoned with a pinch of salt, and serve at once. Berries combined with whipped cream in this way may also be used without the cake, and to many persons are more delicious than when the cream in the usual way. and not placed over too hot a fire at first. Some of the delicately flavored vegetables may be cooked by what has been called the "conservation" method. They are cooked slowly and gently in just enough water to prevent them from burning, and all this water is absorbed during the process. This often is recommended for green peas, string beans and young carrots. Should Be Cooked Whole. Whenever possible, vegetables should be cooked whole and without peeling. This applies particularly to the root and tuber kinds. If they must be cut, they lose less of their nutritious substances when cut lengthwise rather than crosswise. The water for cooking vegetables should be boiling when they are put into it. This helps to set the color of some kinds and shortens the time of cooking, so that a smaller proportion of the minerals is extracted than when cold water is used. Starchy vegetables should be boiled gently in a covered kettle; green vegetables hold their attractive color better if cooked in an open vessel. All boiled vegetables should be drained as soon as they are tender. Overcooking is one of the most common mistakes in preparing vegetables for the table. The time of cooking varies greatly with the quantity of water used and the kind, size and age of the vegetables. The following time-table is recommended by the experimental kitchen of the United States Department of Agriculture to be used as a general guide: Strawberry Sherbet. 3/4 tablespoonful le- 1 quart ripe hulled mon juice. berries. White 1 egg. 1/4 cupful sugar. 1 cupful water. Cover the berries with the sugar and let stand for one hour, then crush and squeeze them through double thickness of cheesecloth. There should be about one pint of sweetened juice. To this add the water, lemon juice, and freeze the sheerbet in the usual way. After it is frozen, remove the dasher, stir in the well-beaten egg white, pack with salt and ice, and allow the sheerbet to stand a while before serving.

The beverage is best prepared and placed near the ice and when serving only a small portion of shaved ice should be added. Glasses in which summer drinks are served are very attractive when made of thin glass and they should be beautifully polished to add pleasure to the eye. Ginger ale and carbonated waters may be kept on hand to add to the flavor and zest of the drink. There are drinks that are foods, those that stimulate, such as tea, and those which are taken merely to refresh. Milk drinks combined with chocolate and eggs are a food in themselves. Egg Orangeade.—Take six tablespoonfuls of orange juice, two teaspoonfuls of lemon juice, one egg, one and one-half teaspoonfuls of sugar. Beat the yolk of egg until light, then add the sugar and beat again. Beat in the fruit juice and add the stiffly beaten white of egg. When well mixed pour into a tall glass one-third full of crushed ice. Ginger Grape juice.—Place in a tall glass three tablespoonfuls of grape juice, two teaspoonfuls of lemon juice, two teaspoonfuls of orange juice and one-half teaspoonful of sugar. Stir well and add one-half a glass of shaved ice and fill the glass with ginger ale. Serve at once. Chocolate Egg Milk Shake.—Take two tablespoonfuls of chocolate sirup, one egg, one cupful of sweet milk, three tablespoonfuls of crushed ice, vanilla to taste. Put all together in a large tumbler or jar and shake vigorously until quite light. Pour into a glass and serve immediately. Almond Milk Shake.—To one cupful of sweet milk add one egg, one teaspoonful of sugar and three drops of almond extract. Beat the yolk with the sugar and flavoring, add the white stiffly beaten, add the milk and pour into a jar with a tight cover. Add a few small pieces of ice and shake vigorously until light. Pour into a glass and serve at once. Apple Water.—Core, pure and cut four apples in small pieces, put them in a pitcher, add the rind of a lemon, one cupful of sugar and four cupfuls of water boiling hot, cover the pitcher and let stand to cool and chill before serving. It is a good and safe rule to sojourn in every place as if you meant to spend your life there, never omitting an opportunity of doing a kindness, or speaking a true word, or making a friend.—John Ruskin. FOODS FOR HOT WEATHER. Nature supplies the food needed for each season. In summer we have READING Chilling the stomach with ices and cold drinks is not the way to keep cool. A hot soup or something hot at the beginning of the meal will start the sluggish stomach so that it will more quickly assimilate food. During warm weather we reduce the amount of meat consumed, but do not eliminate it entirely. Spiced beef is a dish especially good for a hot weather dish, but is very uncommon. Try it. Virginia Spiced Beef.-Take a sirloin of beef or a rump piece that has been in the pickle eight days. Put in a kettle of cold water over a slow fire. Skim thoroughly, out in a lemon or two with the seeds removed, two bay leaves, a dozen peppercorns and two tablespoonfuls of terragon vinegar. Let the meat cook slowly until tender, then allow it to remain all night in the water in which it was cooked. Remove and place the meat under a weight. Ham Mousse.-Soften a tablespoonful of gelatin in enough cold water to cover, pour over it a cupful of boiling stock, stir until dissolved, strain and pour the liquid over two cupfuls of chopped ham, stand aside until it begins to congeal, then fold in a cupful of whipped cream and turn the mixture into a wet mold. Serve when hard on lettuce. A cupful of nuts added to the regulation potato salad will make of it a dish sufficiently satisfying for the main dish. Stuff tomatoes with bread crumbs and cheese. Pour a dish of seasoned stewed tomatoes over a dish containing a few uncooked eggs, stir with a fork, season and serve. For a hot weather luncheon or dinner serve a dish of soup hot and well seasoned, a boiled fish with tartar sauce, bread and butter sandwiches with chilled fruit and cookies for dessert or a dish of ice or sherbet.

WARSAW - - - ILLINOIS OFFICE PHONE CHAMPA 87-88 --- LATEST IN OUTING FROCKS; PRETTY DRESS ACCESSORIES THE course of apparel has been set for many a season steadily toward daintiness, both for outer and undergarments and from "top to toe." When good sense dictates a sturdy fabric, with dependable wearing qualities for a frock, designers immediately put their wits to work to give it an airy touch somehow, either by means of accessories to be worn with it, or by combinations of materials or by its decorations. Manufacturers of glingham have made things easy for them. The neat prettiness of checked for a jeweled girdle or necklace or corsage to be worn with it. With the most practical and severe of tailored suits they find it necessary to wear a gayly striped scarf or a hat and scarf to match, and even their joy in a fur neckpiece is incomplete until they have posed against its dark background a cluster of flowers in glowing colors. All of which contributes to their charm and to the general cheerfulness. The shops are showing just now many handsome girdles, many of them P M Gingham and Airy Organdie. inghamms and their beautiful colors prove an inspiration that accounts for an endless variety of adorable midsummer frocks. Everywhere gingham, joining forces with organdie, makes morning and outing frocks of unrivaled freshness, and every week sees new developments of this combination. Two of the last to be launched on the seas of midsummer fashions are shown here. In both of them gingham, showing a small check-in a color with white, is combined with white organdie, and the dresses are attractive in any of the fashionable colors and in black and white. The designs are novel and the picture tells all their simple but delightful story. The use of flat pearl buttons, as a decorative feature, is worth noting in them (it has been cleverly done) and the importance of making the gingham up partly on the L Latest in Accessories. blas and partly on the straight of the material. The frock at the left makes new departures with a bias ruffle about the hips and a long organdle sash bound with the gingham and tied at the left side. The bodice fastens under the close-set row of buttons down the front. The imagination of the designer of this little frock caused her to make effective use of shallow scallops about the bottom of the overskirt and bodice and on the double collar and cuffs, and to accent a new variation of them with flat pearl buttons. One of the best things about these pretty frocks, for any time of day, is that anyone may make them. The materials are to be hard everywhere and are inexpensive. The designs are simple and easy to make. The "eternal feminine" reveals itself in the love of finery that runs after all sorts of pretty dress accessories—useful and otherwise—year in and out. When women elect to wear a plain frock, that is sufficient excuse for a jeweled girdle or necklace or corsage to be worn with it. With the most practical and severe of tailored suits they find it necessary to wear a gayly striped scarf or a hat and scarf to match, and even their joy in a fur neckpiece is incomplete until they have posed against its dark background a cluster of flowers in glowing colors. All of which contributes to their charm and to the general cheerfulness. The shops are showing just now many handsome girdles, many of them # silver link chains, set with mock jewels or motifs of jade. Sometimes the girdle serves as an anchorage for drapery in the gown, but more often it simply indicates the waistline and adds color and a point of interest to the costume. For several years we imagined that earrings had passed to the realm of forgotten things, but now they are among the most popular of ornaments. Long pendant earrings of pearls or silver filigree in elaborate design, pendants of jade and jet and many other stones serve to express the love of ornament that lies in the heart of womankind. Combs for the evening coifure are gracefully shaped and glittering with a variety of colors. In their company are buckles that rival them. Slippers have their share of decoration in buckles and slides in many shapes, set with rhinestones. Buckles of gold or silver have made their appearance on street shoes and are promised a growing vogue. But among all the pretty trinkets which find favor in the eyes of women, necklaces make the strongest appeal, and among necklaces pearl beads hold first place. Glass beads in all colors and of all kinds are universally worn. Women have grown exacting in the matter of shopping bags as is witnessed by the increasing demand for good quality and fine finish whatever the materials used. Leather bags maintain their leadership, but the better grades of beaded bags and fine mesh silver or gold bags, are liked for dressier wear. A little pocket mirror seems inseparable from bags of all kinds and is often attached to the inside of the bag by a ribbon, or set in on the inside of the flap.
