THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY EXTRACTS FROM ADDRESS OF DR. R. R. MOTEN ANNUAL MEETING NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE, NORFOLK, VA., WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 16 VOL. XXVIII. EXTRACTS FROM A R. M. ANNUAL MEETING NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE, NORFO EVENING, THE National Negro Business League in its annual meeting at Norfolk, Va., gave out some very good instructions and suggestions to our people through the address of its president, Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, and, knowing the great benefits to be derived from such an inspiring address, T H E COLORADO STATESMAN takes great pleasure in publishing the following extracts, coming from a man who is growing greater in wisdom and richer in the ability of leadership of his people. The address, in part, follows: "The meeting of the National Negro Business League this year finds our organization face to face with the largest opportunity for service that has been presented to it since its foundation. The aftermath of the war is presenting to Negroes everywhere increasing opportunity for their individual advancement and for effective cooperation with each other in those things which make for the advancement of the race as a whole. "In no direction is this more true than in the matter of business enterprise. Some people sometimes speak slightly of business and money-making, but, do you know, my friends, that there are few things that constitute so exacting a test of any man's real capacity, both for individual initiative and for co-operative effort as this thing we call 'business,' the capacity for making and using money. Business, then, is a real gauge of progress of a race, a test of its capacity for progress, of its ability to survive where competition is relentless and searching. "A review of the Negro business since our last meeting shows some reverses along with a record of very substantial achievement. But it is reassuring to note that even these reverses, when compared with the total number of failures throughout the country, do not in any way reflect discredit upon the business capacity of the race; as a matter of fact, the percentage of failures among Negro business men during last year has been considerably less than the percentage for the country at large. At the same time, the expansion of successful enterprises has exceeded anything previously recorded in the history of Negro business. "As we enter upon a new year in the work of the National Negro Business League, I wish to emphasize the importance of systematic organization and a definite program, matters which are absolutely essential to our continued existence and our efficiency in promoting business enterprises in the race. "Out of such a policy there must naturally grow a definite program. I wish now to place the chief features of that program before you. "First—The effective organization of the three bureaus which were approved last year at Atlanta. I refer to the Bureau of Business, the Bureau of Public Education and Co-operation and the Bureau of Health. Let me emphasize particularly the Bureau for Business Promotion, because it is fundamental. At each of the last two meetings of the league I have placed before you the urgent need there is for some fund to be available for tiding over our solvent business enterprises during periods of business depression, and for supplying the capital needed for the expansion of successful and growing enterprises. Most of you appreciate the serious loss to the race of more than one real enterprise for lack of liquid assets, immediately available to carry them over the crisis. As proposed, the plan calls for the purchase of blocks of stock by business men in every line, the entire proceeds of which would be applied to the creation of such a fund, to be operated by a competent directorate along conservative lines. The sale of 1,000 shares at $100 a share would the first year give $100,000 for such purposes, which, if kept intact for five years, would give $500,000 available for such purposes—a very substantial foundation upon which to build a larger structure of Negro business. "The time has come for this organization to take necessary steps through a committee appointed for the purpose, to put into operation the machinery for the successful establishment of this fund. "Now for the second feature of that program: Except for the jar and shake-up caused by the two strikes—the railroad and the coal mining strike—the country as a whole is getting back to normal very rapidly. As the tide swings toward the flood, I wish to recommend that we undertake the revival of what have been called 'Trade Boosting Campaigns,' these campaigns to be put over in every community where there is a local branch of the National Negro Business League. Many of you will recall the report made at the meeting in Chattanooga in 1917, of the very successful results obtained in Atlanta from a trade boosting campaign conducted by the local league in that city and reported at our meeting by Mr. T. K. Gibson. "A third feature of this program that should be of great help in promoting Negro business is the organization and conduct of short courses in business for Negro business men under the auspices of local leagues. The idea, in brief, is to call together the Negro business men of a certain section for a period of from two to five days, and there present to them in a simple, direct form the essentials of business methods and principles that will be most helpful in their particular lines. The leaders in this would be men who have been successful in some particular line of business, who would take the time to place before the men who are gathered together those elemental facts upon which his success has been achieved. Colored business men who have succeeded could be particularly helpful to those who are just beginning. "Fourth—I think that the time has now come for the National Negro Business League to employ a director or secretary or agent of some kind, State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House LIABLE PEOPLE RAD THE JOURN DENVER, ABLE PEOPLE'S PA RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA who shall devote all of his time to the organization and promotion of local business leagues and to the work of establishing a suitable agency for putting our business men in touch with the most helpful sources of aid in the promotion and development of their businesses. Those of you who have succeeded can in many cases count the change in your fortunes from the day when some one person gave you the suggestion that put you on the right track toward success. Such a representative of the league would do a large and real service along the very lines for which the league was established by Dr. Washington. National Urban League, with headquarters at 127 East Twenty-third Street, New York City, has announced the appointment of three "Fellows" for a year's social service training, beginning in September. Two are appointed to the New York School of Social Work and one to the Carnegie School of Technology in Pittsburgh. The two persons assigned to the New York School of Social Work are Miss Alice I. Brown of Plainfield, N.J., and Miss Mabel E. Bickford of Chicago. Miss Gertrude A. Clark of Pittsburgh has been appointed to the Carnegie School of Technology. The appointments were made from a list of some twenty-five candidates from schools located in all sections of the country, the result of a competitive examination. Miss Biekford is a graduate of Howard University and has studied at the Chicago University Graduate School. Miss Clark is a graduate of Wilberforce University, and Miss Brown was graduated from New York University, having completed a four years' course in three and one-half years, and has studied at the New School of Social Research, located in New York City. The scholarships are worth about $600 each, including living expenses and tuition for one school year. The courses of study include practical field work and are designed to equip students for professional social service. MME. WALKER COMPANY NOT SOLD TO JEWS With delegates numbering 300 present from nearly every state in the Union, the big annual convention of the agents of the Madame C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company got under way at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Lanvale and Druid Hill avenue, Wednesday. Mrs. Wilson Speaks. Mrs. Wilson was heartily applauded when she delivered a lecture Wednesday night on her recent trip to the Holy Land. A number of other speakers who followed her, including Bishop John Hurst and Dr. Ernest Lyons, paid high tribute to her ability to step into the late Mme. Walker's place and carry on her business. Ransome Denies Rumors. Denying rumors that the Mme. C. J. Walker Company had sold out to Jews, had white business managers and white advertising managers, and had been compelled to sell some of its real state holdings, F. R. Ransome declared that these reports were broadcast by rival manufacturers of toilet articles. He declared that Mme. Walker's will was so drawn that only one-third of the $500,000 income of the company went to her daughter, and the other two-thirds to charitable institutions. Under the will, he declared, the late Mme. Walker had made it impossible to sell the company to a white firm. He introduced Harry Evans as the advertising manager who had placed $43,000 last year in colored newspapers, and that in some years the company's appropriation for advertising was as much as $60,000. Mr. Ransome said that the company manufactured sixteen different toilet articles, and that the sun never set on Walker salesmen who are at work day and night in all parts of the world. Since Madam Walker's death, two years ago, he averred the company had paid Uncle Sam $300,000 in revenue taxes. --- Prominent Georgia Whites Indicted for Lynching at Macon "And last but not least, I wish to recommend that the league establish a series of scholarships that would make it possible to select each year one or two strong promising young men of our race and send them to one of the standard schools of commerce, or perhaps journalism, where they would fit themselves to enter a business career with a thorough knowledge of the principles of trade and commerce. The growth of business among our own people is becoming such that the need of this kind of training, for our young people grows more and more apparent. Ignorance is at the present time a greater handicap to successful business among Negroes than dishonesty; and there is a definite limit to expansion beyond which it cannot go until we have a body of trained assistants to carry it forward. "In all of this I mean to emphasize this fact: that scientific methods in business must supplant the present hit-or-miss method. Very frequently men of our race see some other man succeed in a given line of business and decide to enter upon the same line, with little or no knowledge of the business, but at the same time expecting to succeed largely because the other man has succeeded. With the growing competition in business throughout the country, it is becoming almost impossible for a man to make any success whatever without a thorough knowledge of the line he undertakes to develop. Any man who goes into business today without some knowledge of the buying power of his clients, of the distribution of the population, of the character of his patrons, is particularly fare-doomed to failure. Definite and exact information in many things is an essential requirement of those who start business today and hope to develop it to success. The National Negro Business League was established for this very purpose; to bring to those who are in business and to those who are hoping to enter business the benefit of the knowledge and experience of those who have already succeeded. "It is such possibilities as these that constitute the basis for the work of the National Negro Business League, and more and more I am convinced that there is a real need and a real demand for such an organization as we have in the Business League. The Negro race needs the inspiration and information which this organization, with its well-organized and affiliated bodies can give. It also needs the unification of effort which the National League represents, if we are to achieve the economic upbuilding which is essential to the continued and permanent development of the race along all lines. And we need at the same time the combined help of this organization with all of our other organizations in their efforts to advance the race, co-operating at the same time with that large and increasing group of white people both North and South, who are working unselfishly to see that every group of every race, whatever its creed or color have that unhampered opportunity for development which is assured to everyone of its citizens by that nation which declares itself "conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." Urban League Announces Fellowships Young Women Graduates Given Chance to Study for Social Service. Five prominent white men of Macon, Ga., have been indicted for lynching John (Cocky) Glover recently by the Bibb County Grand Jury, according to announcement made here today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Glover was lynched in Monroe County, Ga., after he had shot and killed Deputy Sheriff Walter C. Byrd, who was attempting to place Glover under arrest. The five men indicted are among the most prominent in Macon. Herbert Block, one of them, is manager of the Hotel Dempsey, the leading hotel in Macon. H. L. McSwain, another of the men indicted, is president of the Southern Co-operative Fire Insurance Company. N. Unice is a merchant and Guy Jones is a city fireman. The fifth man indicted was unnamed, as he has not been located, having fled from town. Bond was set at amounts ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 each. Other indictments are expected to follow. The indictment, charging rioting, reads in part: "Block, McSwain, Unice and the other party did unlawfully and with force and arms, together with persons unknown to the grand jury, do a certain unlawful act of violence to-wit: take from William Branan, a deputy sheriff, and from J. L. Mullally, a deputy sheriff, a certain prisoner lawfully in charge of these officers, John Glover, alias Cocky Glover, for the purpose of mobbing and lynching Glover, and did in a violent and tumultuous manner, after taking Glover in charge, transport him across the line between Monroe and Bibb counties for the purpose of lynching and killing Glover." The N. A. A. C. P. is carefully following these indictments to see if trials and convictions follow, or if the indictments are not to be pressed, as has been the custom in the few cases where lynchers have been indicted in Southern states. BIG FOUR WALKOUT TERMED COWARDLY BY WILLIAM A. WHITE Noted Kansas Editor and Union Sympathizer Pleads with Labor in Editorial to Use Common Sense in Strike Disputes. William Allen White, noted author and editor of the Emporia, Kan., Gazette, who recently engaged in combat with Governor Allen of Kansas, in defense of striking railroad workers, turned the batteries of his powerful vocabulary on the members of the "big four" brotherhood of trainmen, in the following editorial printed in the Gazette on Aug. 14: A Cruel, Cowardly Act. The action of the Santa Fé trainmen in leaving helpless people at Needles and Seligman on the desert in midsummer without food or shelter save the little mite that the little wayside towns provided was cruel and cowardly. Such an act arouses the sense of fair play in the Ameri- NO 45 Masons Pass Strong Resolution Endorsing Dyer Bill At the International Conference of the Grand Masters, Past Grand Masters, Grand Secretaries, etc., Prince Hall Masons of the United States, representing some 150,000 Masons, at their meeting in Washington, D. C., on August 8, passed strong resolutions calling on the United States Senate to pass without delay the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill to "correct certain abuses and barbarous treatment meted out to the citizens of this Republic," according to an announcement made today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The resolutions called upon the Senate to take this step not only to end the disgrace of mob violence, but to remove this blot from the name of America, because "in foreign countries the belief is common the United States government is indifferent to punish the evil doers, and we regret that the reports on lynching will tend to low the respect and esteem which the nation enjoys." The resolutions were signed by E. H. Holmes, Grand Master of the State of Washington; H. I. Monroe, Grand Master of Kansas, and A. A. Schomburg, Grand Secretary, who composed the Committee on Resolutions, Copies of the resolutions have been forwarded to Calvin Coolidge, Presiding Officer of the Senate; Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, Republican leader, and Samuel M. Shortridge of California, who is to lead the fight to pass the Dyer bill. can people and sets the hair of public sentiment against organized labor at a time when only public sentiment can keep organized labor from a crushing defeat. Why in heaven's name those fool trainmen, who deserted their trains, did not know that they were taking bread out of the mouths of hundreds of thousands of laborers who have honestly earned it, is too much for the average man to understand. Union labor is having a fight for its very existence. This shopmen's strike was ill-timed because public sentiment was not ready for it. But the shopmen by their decent conduct were swinging public sentiment to them, when bang! comes this action of the trainmen and the public which does not discriminate, swings back to the railroad owners. It is pitiful beyond words. Yet things are what they are and not what they should be. The men who left those people to swelter and suffer out there on the desert were, of course, cowardly and ruthless. But cowardice and cruelty may be forgiven. However, such shameless, blatant folly, such hare-brained, lame-witted stupidity, never will be forgiven. If the men wanted to abandon their trains in Los Angeles or in San Bernardino, that was their royal privilege. But to take a thousand or two people who had done these trainmen no wrong, and to leave them upon the desert at the mercy of the heat and the hot winds, to get even with employers 2,000 miles away was wicked and poolish beyond words. And the sad part of it is that the folly will be paid for in hundreds of thousands of working men's homes, who are as blameless as the people marooned in the sand. Why in the name of all that is good and holy can't labor get a little sense in fighting its battles? These lines are written by one who believes in union labor; who is willing to fight, bleed and die for union labor, but who would like to see labor use common sense so that what it gains in one step is not lost in the next. FOREIGN Secretary Denby and his party arrived in Honolulu a few days ago aboard the transport Henderson from Guam. They will sail for the mainland soon. One thousand Wahabis (Mohammedan) tribesmen and sixty Arabs were killed in a battle near Amman, Palestine, according to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Constantinople. More than £30,000,000 has been subscribed in the new Indian government loan, constituting a record for state borrowing in India for a single year, says a Reuters dispatch from Calcutta. Dr. Patrick McCarville, sentenced to seven years' imprisonment by the British authorities and released at the truce and elected in June as a Republican member of the Dail Eireann for Monoghan, was arrested recently by Free State troops. A detachment of fascist, after attending the unveiling of a war memorial at Olevano, near Rome, fell into a Communist ambush at San Vito. One Communist and a fascist are dead. Eight on both sides were wounded. Troops and police were rushed to the spot. Indications that Mexico's status is being considered in League of Nation circles were received with much interest in newspaper circles in Mexico City, but there was no inclination to believe that the Mexican government would make formal overtures for admission to the League. The Polish-American Chamber of Commerce announces that in order to increase trade relations between the United States and Poland, an invitation to visit Poland has been extended to various American trade concerns and financial institutions. In answer to this invitation, twenty-two American organizations have promised to send their delegates to Poland. Jerusalem is to have a daily newspaper published in English. It will be owned and edited by an American woman, Mrs. Gatling of New York, who has spent several months in Palestine studying local conditions. Mrs. Gatling has paid $250,000 for a building to be used for her venture. The presses and other mechanical equipment for the paper are now on their way out from the United States. Indian squaws, with eloquent shoulders, and braves whose feet have learned the tricks of the Broadway dance palaces, must go back to the old-fashioned, demurely simple waltz, says an edict of the council of Walpole island, Ontario. Chief Redknife—incidentally manager of the island band, has protested against the invasion of the saxophone on the island. "They want to dance all night," says the chief, "and no one wants to work next day. Once they were satisfied with an ordinary band. Now they want cabarets." GENERAL Frank Albert, aged 50 years, died from burns received when he fell into "The Devil's Tea Kettle," a hot springs at Kalamath Falls, Ore. Fire which swept the West Newton, Pa., business district, wrought a total loss of approximately $300,000. The fire started in an unoccupied garage. Mrs. Bell Armstrong Whitney, fashion expert and a former newspaper woman of Boston, is dead in Paris, according to a cablegram received recently. Walter H. Petty, special officer for the Texas & Pacific railway, charged with the murder of another special railway officer, Henry L. Dillon, at El Paso, has surrendered to the county authorities. After his sister, 30 years old, had ended her life by taking poison, Paul Bertel, 25 years old, hanged himself from a rafter in his barn at Des Moines, In. Brooding over the loss of $15,000 invested in oil stock was thought to have been the cause of both sulcides. Owing to the shortage of coal, the Ford Motor Company's Highland Park plant in Detroit has been equipped with oil burners. The change was made without loss of time to any of the 42,000 employés. The First National Bank of Colusa, Calif., suspended business because, according to state banking officials, of heavy withdrawals within the last three days and inability to realize on past due loans. The bank is capitalized at $150,000, and at its last statement had deposits of $295,000. Nearly 40,000 immigrants have entered the United States since July 1, the majority coming from Italy, Russia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Greece and Czecho-Slovakia, the bureau of immigration has announced. About 320,000 more can enter during the remainder of the fiscal year. Two thousand men and women were thrown out of work when the National Enameling and Stamping Company plant at Granite City, Ill., was closed after 125 finishers struck in protest against an agreement reached between their union officials and the company, under which their wages were reduced. The twelfth annual tournament of the Union Printers' International Baseball League opened in Cleveland, Ohio, the Cincinnati and Toronto teams being eliminated in the first round of play. St. Paul defeated Cincinnati, 5 to 4, and Cleveland won from Toronto, 9 to 8. William Randolph Hearst, in a statement published recently in the New York Evening Journal, declared he was not a candidate for governor but would take any other place on the Democratic ticket if Mayor Hylan were nominated for governor. AN EPITOME OF LATE LIVE NEWS CONDENSED AECORD OF THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS AT HOME AND ABROAD. FROM ALL SOURCES BAYINGS, DOINGS, ACHIEVEMENTS, SUFFERINGS, HOPES AND FEARS OF MANKIND. WESTERN Mistaken for deer, three hunters have been shot since the deer season opened, according to reports which reached Portland from southwestern Oregon. Twelve bombs exploded on Sixth street, in the northwestern section of San Bernardino, Calif., recently, terrorizing scores of men, women and children, who rushed into the streets. Henry Heideman, 16, Boy Scout and orphan, was killed instantly on Red mountain, ten miles from the Butte (Mont.) Boy Scouts' summer camp at Highlands by a bolt of lightning. Isaac Crespin and a John Haynes, aged ranchers in a remote section of Mendocino county, Calif., and enmiles in a fend of years, "shot it out" with high-powered rifles a few days ago. Both are dead. Alva E. Smith, wanted in Arizona, Oklahoma and Nebraska on bank-wrecking charges, arrived in San Diego recently on the power schooner Marlain, from Mazatlan, Mexico, and immediately was arrested by San Diego deputy sheriffs and lodged in jail. Cancellation of the citizenship papers of James Rowan, convicted of criminal syndicalism in the Chicago Industrial Workers of the World trial of 1917 and sentenced to a term of twenty years in federal prison and a fine of $20,000, is asked in a petition filed in United States District Court at Snokane. To avoid striking two small children who had been hanging onto the rear end of an automobile truck ahead of him, the driver of a mall stage at Hoplalm, Calif., turned his heavy vehicle into the end of a barn beside the highway. The end of the barn caved in and Manuel Nosseti, age 8, who was playing inside with his baby sister, Emma, and Angelina Clessi, was killed and the other children suffered injuries from which they are expected to die. Increased demand for cargo space to the Orient out of Puget sound has resulted in assurances to the Pacific Steamship Company that another shipping board freighter will be available for loading at Seattle by Sept. 12. A vessel now idle at some Pacific coast port is to be put into commission, selection being governed by the amount of repairs necessary. Need for additional cargo space to the Orient was emphasized when a consignment of only 200 measurement tons was rejected for the President McKinley, Edmore and President Jackson. WASHINGTON Rates on fresh fruit, apples and vegetables from Idaho, Washington, Montana, Oregon and Utah to Bisbee, Douglas and Nogales, Ariz., were ordered reduced by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Declaring that the law providing for the reduction of officers of the army "struck a vital blow at our national defense," Representative Charles F. Curry of New York stated he would offer a bill to prevent the reduction. Another union labor bank is being organized. E. H. Manlon, president of the Order of Railway Telegraphers, filed application with Comptroller of the Currency Crissinger for a charter for the Telegraphers National Bank of St. Louis with $500,000 capital. Latin-American trade is clearly on the upward trend, despite the sharp decline in the flow of commerce between this country and the Southern republics during the past fiscal year, according to a survey of the situation made by Dr. Jallus Klein, director of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce of the Commerce Department. Warning against establishment of branch factories in Germany by American firms was contained in a report to Secretary Hoover by a special committee of business men appointed to handle economic problems relating to western Europe. The report asserted any temporary advantage to be gained by location of branches in Germany by American firms would be more than offset when stabilization in that country brings on further violent dislocation. Striking shopmen all over the country were ordered to form vigilance committees to aid local authorities in placing responsibility for train wrecks and damage to railway properties. "I am sick and tired of having the strikers blamed for every wreck and fake bombing that comes along," said Bert M. Jewell. The State Department confirmed reports from Mexico City that A. Bruce Bielaski is to be permitted to return to the United States. He is expected either in Washington or New York soon. LATE NEWS From All Over COLORADO COMING EVENTS.

Castle Rock.—Fourteen cars were thrown into the ditch in an accident to a freight train on the Santa Fé two miles south of Castle Rock. Loveland.—John Elliott, 72 years old, a former resident of Enid, Okla., was killed recently at Loveland when the arm of a hay derrick fell on him. Fort Collins.—The steer barn and self-feed shed at the Agricultural college were destroyed by fire recently, the loss being placed at $7,500. The fire was discovered near midnight, ten minutes after an inspection by watchmen. Loveland.—The discovery of a dynamite cap and a childish curiosity to examine the inside of it may cost the life of Thurn Donald, 5 years old. The explosion of the cap tore away part of his right hand and blinded his right eye. Grand Junction.—Steam from a boiler in the flouring mill at Grand Junction scaled Sum Parker, 26 years old, and Leonard Jorgensen, 23, brother-in-law of Parker, so severely that both died at the same hour in a hospital. Longmont.—Construction of a $50,000 reservoir has been authorized by the city council of Longmont to meet the growth of the city. The reservoir will be constructed on a hill west of Longmont under supervision of city officials. Lafayette. — Improvements to the extent of $1,000,000 are now being planned by the Western Light and Power Company for the power plant near Lafayette. The improvements hinge upon getting sufficient water to operate the plant. Boulder. —The home of Dr. O. M. Gilbert of Boulder has been purchased by the Presbyterian Synod of Colorado as a student manse. The consideration was $10,000. An additional $2,000 is to be spent in improvements. The Presbyterian student pastor, the Rev. Merchant S. Bush, and Mrs. Bush, are to live in the manse. Fort Morgan. About the busiest spot in northwestern Colorado is on a plat of ground one mile west of Fort Morgan, where a band of dusky-hued people is building a town of its own. The builders are Mexicans in the employ of the Great Western Sugar Company, who have the opportunity of owning a home in the beet district. This is the first attempt of the Great Western to colonize Mexicans at their factories, and officials of the company are very optimistic as to the outcome of the venture. Denver.—A large percentage of the $7,000,000 permanent fund of the state schools, held under control of the State Board of Land Commissioners, is invested in bonds of the various school districts of the state. These bonds, for the most part, have been purchased direct from the districts. Recently an unusual amount of these bonds have been redeemed and the State Board of Land Commissioners is now placing this money with school districts in the purchase of their bonds, an investment that is considered the very safest possible to make, not excepting even United States government securities. Grand Junction.—The Gunnison river, which flows into the Colorado at Grand Junction, is the lowest it has been in the last fifteen years. One mile above the Colorado it is possible to walk across the Gunnison by stepping from stone to stone, a thing which has never before been possible.

Denver.—For what is said to be the first time in Colorado, a prescription for a sick patient arrived in Denver recently by government air mail service. Dr. F. A. Tower ordered the prescription from Philadelphia by telegraph for the Rev. Mr. Stowe, who came from Minnesota recently to spend a month's vacation in St. Andrew's Episcopal parish. The Rev. Mr. Stowe is suffering from hay fever. Knowing the railroad strike might delay delivery, Dr. Tower ordered his prescription, a sunflower pollen extract, for delivery by airplane and received it in record time. Estes Park.—The twenty-eighth annual convention of the Colorado Feu- ration of Women's Clubs will convene at Estes Park, Sept. 12-16, 1922. The executive board will meet on Tuesday, Sept. 12, at 2:30. The general con- vention headquarters will be in the library in the village.

Grand Junction.—Robert A. Gillmore, who came to Grand Junction a month ago with a street carnival company, shot Patrick O'Nelll of Fruita in that town, after having been attacked by O'Nelll, who accused Gillmore of paying undue attention to Mrs. O'Nelll.

Smith, 33 years old, a special officer, was struck by a street car near the Denver & Rio Grande Western station, receiving injuries from which he died, at the door of a Colorado Springs hospital, to which he was being taken. Durango.—James McGulgan, former captain of the beach life guards at Long Beach, Calif., and later a prominent ranchman near Durango, died at hospital at Durango of a fractured skull received when an emery wheel broke into pieces. Denver.—President Harding and his cabinet will travel to Mooseheart, Ill., to attend the national convention of the Loyal Order of Moose, according to T. M. Howell, district supervisor of the Moose, who left Denver for the convention city. Colorado Springs.—Falling almost 200 feet from the peak of Sentinel rock in North Cheyenne canyon, Elmo Allison, 16 years old, dropped to his death at the feet of his mother, Mrs. R. E. Allison, a summer visitor from Shreveport, La. La Junta.—The opening skirmish in the political campaign took place a few nights ago when 100 hoodlums attempted to break up a meeting addressed by Fred A. Sabin, candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor. Pueblo. — Forty-seven indictments were returned by the Federal Grand Jury, which has been sitting in Pueblo for the past week. Of the forty-seven a large number were narcotic cases from Denver. Boulder.—The sale of the Boulder Milling and Elevator, advertised by the sheriff's office, was halted by an order from the United States District Court, where an application for involuntary bankruptcy has been filed by former creditors. The mill was to have been foreclosed to satisfy a trust deed of $10,000 held by A. G. Greed of Fort Morgan and of $90,000*held by Frank N. Bancroft of Denver. Delta.—Robert Martin, 12 years old, was trampled to death by a team of frightened horses near a sawmill, thirty miles in the hills from Delta, a few days ago. The boy was riding the lead horse of a four-team string. A flash of lightning frightened the horses and his mount bolted. throwing him underfoot. The father, R. W. Martin, was riding on the wagon seat. Boulder.—John Blockyou, 17 years old, a non-union miner employed at the Blue Goose mine, was attacked on the streets of Louisville by five men and slugged into unconsciousness, according to county officers. As an aftermath, T. Botnelle, 21 years old, was arrested, and officers are searching for Otto Winkler, 23, said to be one of the assailants. Pueblo.—In the hope of creating sympathy for himself in his domestic troubles, George C. Rogan of Portland, Colo., caused two dynamite explosions to take place at his rooming house recently, according to Fremont county authorities, who declare that Rogan has confessed following his arrest and confinement in jail at Cafon City. Pueblo.—Michael Stillar, 35 years old, employed in the Pueblo steel plant, was almost instantly killed when he was struck by an overhead crane and his chest crushed. He died fifteen minutes later.

HALES OFFERS TO JOIN NATIONALS LEADER'S CHANGE OF SIDES MAY HAVE FAR-REACH- ING EFFECT. DUBLIN SHOWS GRIEF BODY OF COLLINS CARRIED THROUGH STREETS OF DUBLIN TWICE. Cork.—Tom Hales, who led and accepted the responsibility for the ambush which killed Michael Collins, repudiated it, threw down his arms and offered to join the national forces. Tom Hales is the brother of Sean Hales, a pro-treaty member of the Dall Eireann. The former has been a fierce opponent of the treaty, and it is not known whether his offer to join the nationals will be accepted. He and his sister on last St. Patrick's day set fire to the platform at Bandon, where a demonstration in favor of the treaty was being held under the auspices of his brother, Sean and Canon Cohalon, parish priest at Bandon. His present change of front is regarded as significant and as giving point to the prevailing belief that the death of Michael Collins may not have been in vain as his action may animate his comrades to do likewise. Sean Collins, proceeding from Clonakilly to attend his brother's funeral, had a trying experience. He was arrested on the Bandon-Macroon road by irregulars, who taunted him with lacking the courage "to stand up and be plugged," and spoke jubilantly of having "plugged McKeen, the traitor," referring to his brother Michael. Sean Collins remained in custody over night but was released, reaching Cork the next morning. He left by special steamer for Dublin with General Ennis and Sean Hales. --- Dublin.—Twice the body of Michael Collins was carried through the streets of Dublin, which were lined with sorrowing spectators. Early in the day, in impressive procession, the body was taken from the steamer Classic and transported on a gun carriage to St. Vincent's hospital. Later it was removed to the city hall, where it will lie in state a few days. Military and civic guards, ministers of the government, members of the Dail Eireann and many clergy, among them three bishops, followed the coffin, which was covered with the Irish tri-color, while in the mourning carriages were the brother, sister and other relatives. The Irish government will be continued on the lines marked out by Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins, whose views, freely exchanged with their cabinet colleagues, anticipated the necessities of the whole situation. No new lines of policy are contemplated. Belfast. — Lieutenant Commander Cregan, quartermaster of the West Limerick brigade, was mortally wounded when his detachment of seven men was ambushed near Liscarrol by sixty irregulars. A fierce fight ensued and the irregulars set fire to a motor car while the wounded Cregan was still in it. The driver of the car, who was taken prisoner, managed to escape and returned and rescued his commanding officer from the burning car. Cregan, however, died on the roadside. New York.-The American Civil Liberties Union announced that it would bring suit against Adjutant General Hamrock of Colorado for damages as a result of the ordering out of that state of William Z. Foster, labor leader, on Aug. 6. The amount of damages that will be asked was not announced. The union said it would seek to recover for "property consisting of personal belongings and manuscripts, taken from Foster without due process of law." Bandits Steal $30,000 Fund. Batum.—Bandits forced an entrance into a coach of a train at Batum and robbed the chief of the American relief organization of $30,000 which had been received from America. Wages Increased 16 Per Cent. Providence, R. I.—The Nicholson File Company posted notices that the wages of the 1,200 employés would be increased 16% per cent beginning Sept. 5. Proposes Federal Control of Mines. Washington.—Government operation of the coal mines and federal control of coal distribution in such a manner as to prevent profiteering, were proposed in measures introduced in the Senate. Other developments in the coal and rail situations included: Decision by the Senate labor committee to substitute the Borah coal commission bill for the Winslow commission bill. Demand in the Senate for prompt and drastic government action to end both the coal and rail strikes. PUBLIC TRUSTEE'S SALE. No. 2238 Whereas, Orpha Stella Neely, by deed of trust, dated the 15th day of March, 1922, which is recorded in book 3445, page 237, of the records in the office of the City of Denver, and County of Denver, Colorado, duly conveyed to the Public Trustee in and for the City and County of Denver, Colorado, the following described real estate in the city and county of Denver, Colorado, the twelfth number Four (4), Block number Four (4), Mouat's Addition to Swansen, together with all improvements thereon or hereafter recorded, also known as number 4562 and Street Street Colorado, which deed of trust was made to secure the payment of one promissory note of even date with said deed of trust, for the sum of One Hundred and Fifty-one thousand and One Hundred and Fifty-one thousand, dollars, payable to the order of Earl M.

How and why the word "pippin" ever broke into the slang language, is not known definitely, but the word is an Anglicised form of the medieval French word pepin, which means seed or seedling. When an apple lover of the Dark Ages produced a new variety he called it such-and-such a pepin. It is said that there is no apple stock that is more than 400 years old, though the statement would be hard to prove. A Yorkshire pippin must be very old, and a pearmain may have descended from the days of the Romans. Few Conquerors Died in Peace. It is remarkable how few of the discoverers and conquerors of the New World died in peace. Columbus died of a broken heart; Balboa was disgracefully beheaded; Cortes was dishonored; Sir Walter Raleigh was beheaded; Pizarro was murdered; Ojeda died in poverty; Henry Hudson was left to the mercy of the Indians along the bay which he discovered. First American Plano. Evidence seems to prove that the piano was invented by Bartolomeo Christofori, a harpsichord maker Padua in 1710. A half century later pianos were manufactured in England by German mechanics. The first American piano was made in Boston in 1822 by a firm that has continued to make that instrument for a hundred years. Curious Compromise. When South Africa became federated, ten years ago, a controversy as to the capital city was settled by one of the most curious compromises in history. Pretoria became the administrative and Cape Town the legislative center. So United South Africa has two capitals, which are almost exactly 1,000 miles apart—Brooklyn Eagle. City's Average Need of Water. American hydraulic engineers in planning for a water supply under the present conditions, calculate upon the basis of a daily consumption of 100 gallons per capita, with provisions to meet an increased demand in the near future. For ordinary domestic purposes the requirements average twenty gallons per capita. Kill Too Many Swordfish. The swordfish is good food for man, and man hunts this fish with a harpoon. Fishermen hunt him even though he is a strong and dangerous fighter. The slaughter of so many swordfish is disturbing the balance of nature, so 'tis said, and allowing the sharks to multiply without those restrictions which swordfish impose. Homing Ducks. An Innerwick (Scotland) farm servant sold six ducks to a buyer living three miles away whither the birds were conveyed in a hamper. Next day, however, the six ducks turned up at Innerwick again, having traversed the three intervening miles of rough and hilly countryside. How did they find their way all that distance afoot? Mother's Wonderful Love. The mystery of a mother's love, the sensitiveness of her sympathy, the vastness of vision of her intuition, the sublimity of her self-sacrifice can never be surpassed.—Alexander Lyons. Mark of Bondage Little Paul, visiting his cousins on the farm, had been taken down to see the 1⊗gs. Noticing several bad rings in their noses, he said to his big brother: "Say, Bill, those pigs must be married, cause they are wearing rings." -Chicago American. A. S. E.

A WILL-O-THE-WISP New York Age, James Weldon Johnson for the Advancement of Criticism: "It is quite possible that Adam by conquest, but if that is to be the will have to be taken by Ariety or organization in the United States. Mr. Johnson was writing of theization schemes that every now and then Garveyism on down.

WRITING in the New York Age, James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, puts the matter in this trite way: "It is quite possible that Africa will some day be redeemed for Africans by conquest, but if that is to be the method of redemption the initiative will have to be taken by AFRICANS in AFRICA, instead of by any society or organization in the United States." Needless to say, Mr. Johnson was writing of the many foolish and insincere African colonization schemes that every now and then bob up in every community from Garveyism on down. It is indeed amazing how readily many innocent, well meaning people fall for the silly "Back to Africa" movement, which boiled down to the last analysis has no definite aim or solid foundation. It is simply another case of reaching out with itching fingers for something just beyond our grasp. The attitude of the Colorado Statesman as well as that of the majority of the great race journals of the country, has been one of charitable consideration toward these schemes, but the time is at hand when plain speaking must be indulged in. There can be no possible objection to any one going to Africa who desires to do so, either as a tourist, explorer or permanent resident. At least there will be no objections offered from this side of the water, but just what the folks on the other side may think of it is plainly stated by Mr. Johnson: "There is only one spot in Africa where American Negroes might go in any numbers at all, and that is Liberia, and we doubt very much if they would be welcomed even there if the numbers were too large. We have not the slightest doubt that the Liberian government would object to the immigration of a hundred thousand or even fifty thousand American Negroes, and what effect would even that number have on the twelve millions in America? "American Negroes may, after securing proper passports, visit the countries on the northern coast of Africa which are under the suzerainty of England, France, Italy and Spain, but they are not allowed even as tourists to visit the great states to the south in which the majority of the Negroes in Africa live. Mr. Garvey talks about carrying millions of Negroes to Africa. We doubt very much whether Mr. Garvey himself as an individual could possibly get into Africa." Ever since the beginning of time people have been led, sometimes into utter destruction, by chimerical and fanciful dreams of a paradise just across the way. Even the Bible fiction about Moses and the promised land served a useful purpose in its day, and ever since there have been others of far less leadership ability than Moses who have sought to enlarge upon his venture. It is gratifying to note that Negroes are not alone the gullible ones in this regard, else ours would be a sorry plight. Quoting Mr. Johnson again: tion is again more or less in the pose that this idea is a new one more than a hundred years. It all the way from steps taken be- of considerable size. Some of amounts of money. But takin themes for American Negroes, we illure. In a word, we can do t help by achieving our full Ame colonization schemes. Mr. Garv themselves or deceiving others. "We say the question is again more or less in the public mind because it is an error to suppose that this idea is a new one. It has been coming up periodically for more than a hundred years. It has been tried out on various scales ranging all the way from steps taken by individual pioneers to movements of colonies of considerable size. Some of these movements have been backed by large amounts of money. But taking the whole history of African colonization schemes for American Negroes, we must say that the idea has been a colossal failure. In a word, we can do the Africans more good and give them greater help by achieving our full American citizenship rights than we can by any colonization schemes. Mr. Garvey and those with him are either deceiving themselves or deceiving others." WITHIN THE LAW. it, if not wholly inspiring, these the great American press is daunting of law and order and they look no further than the telegraph and daily papers, the conclusion we a lawless nation. And the condition. Only a few months ago they the adoption of an international or in whole with the horrors of when, little heeding the unsettled different it is to-day. From the heat with European countries we peace covenant at home. And we warn when dealing with foreign men that a "government cannot safely authority." And it can only powers that the government constantly cope with the industrial public by the throat and leaving it to death. These nation-wide ofiveness. Primarily, they arise, employe, and then are invariably anist and anarchist within our life if the conditions merely readily, the major suffering must be berry to the dispute. Labor leader executives may remain strong are incurring a public wrath the sense. IT IS REFRESHING, if not wholly inspiring, these days to note the emphasis with which the great American press is daily stressing the importance of the principles of law and order and their careful observance. Indeed, were one to look no further than the telegraphic reports and editorial columns of our great daily papers, the conclusion would be inevitable that on the whole we were a lawless nation. And the conclusion would not be without some justification. Only a few months ago the people of the United States were agog over the adoption of an international peace covenant that would do away in part or in whole with the horrors of war. We were looking to foreign lands then, little heeding the unsettled conditions within our own borders. How different it is to-day. From the high plane of an international peace covenant with European countries we have descended to the level of an industrial peace covenant at home. And we are finding the problems no less vexing than when dealing with foreign nations. It is becoming more apparent daily that a "government cannot safely assume responsibility where it does not possess authority." And it can only be by giving authoritative expression to its powers that the government of the United States can ever hope to adequately cope with the industrial wars that are grasping the great American public by the throat and leaving it with the alternative of freezing or starving to death. These nation-wide conflicts are growing in frequency and destructiveness. Primarily, they arise out of points at issue between employer and employé, and then are invariably fanned into fury by every socialist, bolshevist and anarchist within our national borders. This would be bad enough if the conditions merely reached the employer and employed, but unhappily, the major suffering must be the larger number who are in no manner a party to the dispute. Labor leaders may remain adamant and defiant, railroad executives may remain strong and unyielding, but in so doing both sides are incurring a public wrath that sooner or later will brook no further nonsense. As one paper sagely observes: "The time has come when Industrial disputes, not by politics by courts of arbitration, conciliational right to enact such law it should go that far, requiring every concern doing an interest several state legislatures in make us advance from the decision on and temporary expediency, to teach in popular government will lay the people to do justice in these with humanity." The American people are face to-to-day. Standing between two some when Congress should conti- ct by political boards which mime- ration, conciliation and decision enact such legislation only for a far, requiring, if necessary, tha- ing an interstate business, and a features in making this system con- dure the decision of industrial dispute expediency, to decisions by equi- ment will lack faith in the disp- tice in these matters, or that tha- tle are face to face with an unh- bole between two giant contending "The time has come when Congress should compel the settlement of industrial disputes, not by political boards which make political decisions, but by courts of arbitration, conciliation and decision. If Congress has the constitutional right to enact such legislation only for interstate corporations, then it should go that far, requiring, if necessary, the federal incorporation of every concern doing an interstate business, and ask the co-operation of the several state legislatures in making this system complete. In other words, let us advance from the decision of industrial disputes by force, fear, coercion and temporary expediency, to decisions by equity. No man who has faith in popular government will lack faith in the disposition and the ability of the people to do justice in these matters, or that this justice will be tempered with humanity." The American people are face to face with an unholy and appalling spectacle to-day. Standing between two giant contending forces, each firm in its belief of right, we are helpless and impotent as we look upon the gradual paralysis of the business of the nation and the prosperity of the people held in check. Something can and MUST be done by Congress. Already delay has been too aggravating. Instead of disputants in any cause having a stranglehold upon the nation, the government should possess the power to bring both to time in short order and compel them to get their heads together. It is becoming time for the American people to have laws sufficient to protect them in every right, and then see to it that all people live WITHIN THE LAW. Humane Education of Boys and Girls—the Future Citizens of the State By MARTHA L. POWELL, Veteran Omaha Public School Principal. Alexander was accustomed to say, "Philip of Macedon gave me life, but it was Aristotle who taught me how to make the most of life." A rare tribute to a great teacher. PETER H. HARRIS The humane education of the millions of boys and girls who are to be the future citizens of the state is a vitally important work for us, the teachers of youth. Our power and responsibility are great. If we are to give to the state boys and girls who are to become men and women of broader sympathies, of stronger principles of justice, of keener appreciation of good citizenship, we must, unless we lose the golden opportunity, instil into every child, through his contact with the animal world, the principles of justice, mercy and love. Nothing good is impossible. Only as our visions fail do our efforts lessen. In the animal world there is a wonderful harmony between the creatures and the circumstances and conditions amid which they are placed. The same law rules in the province of human life. Every teacher knows the value of applied instruction. What more interesting text to teach children that animals have rights to be respected, that kindness is a wonderful promoter of happiness, than this harmony between creature and circumstance and condition? Children's sympathies are easily aroused. Their willingness to do acts of benevolence and constructive good is as great as their seeming desire to be destructive, if only they are shown the way. With children, it is as easy to do, as to know what were good to be done. The great problem is to give them the right thing to do. Such delight is theirs to be the bearers of the Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets to the needy; what pleasure it gives them to care for the lame boy who is to be carried up and down the school steps, four times a day; what joy they find in being responsible for the supply of fresh water for the animals in a certain part of the block. It is action they want. It is action they will have. To render service to the beasts is to appreciate the service rendered by them. Service will bring a reaction which will result in more gentleness, less selfishness, less cruelty and more peace. Let us teach our boys and girls that justice, mercy and love which shall enable them to make the most of life. It Is the Roads That Have Brought Prosperity to This Wisconsin County By F. J. ROGERS, Highway Commissioner, Forest Co., Wis. The roads are our vital asset here in Forest county. Without them we could expect little or nothing in the way of advancement up here. It is the roads that have brought every bit of prosperity to this country. They have opened it, not only to the thousands of summer vacationists who return year after year with money to spend and improvements to make, but also to the steady, reliable settlers who are clearing the land, producing bigger crops each season, building up the towns and industries, and advancing the value of every foot of ground. They have also brought in almost unlimited financial resources from the wealthy sportsmen who have established summer homes. These sportsmen have taken a direct interest in the country, and it is their money, loaned in every worthy project, that makes our growth possible. Our farmers, new and old, no longer find trouble in financing any of their operations. More than $100,000 is being spent on new road work in the county this year, devoted largely to improvement of those branching from the main highways. Modern Girl Has No Heart, No Soul—If She Has She Will Not Admit It The modern girl has no heart, no soul, no sentiment—if she has she refuses to admit it. You do not dare to talk to the flapper of classics nor of other serious things, for she simply will make no attempt to absorb them. She is idle, frivolous and heedless of tomorrow. However, I will admit that she is charming and often irresistible. She looks so young, but knows so much—much that she could do well not to know. She assumes no responsibility. She seeks nothing but amusement. When a boy reaches the flapper age he usually has some obligation to fulfill. He gets a job, or else he is branded as a loafer. The girl, however, spends her time reading frothy literature and smoking. In my opinion the only hope of the nation rests upon the working girl. She has more originality and individuality than the flapper, who looks to me as if she were made from a die. Each working girl has her particular style in clothes and coiffure. But the flapper! How can you tell one from another? ```markdown ``` By R. M. BROWN, Rhode Island College of Education. The study of geography in the schools is more important today than ever before, and the present demands made upon the knowledge which pupils should gain in the geography class are more pressing than ever before. A large number of American youths are entering into some business which deals with the other parts of the earth or other parts of our own land. Great corporations, banks and business houses are expanding their lines to include foreign trade. Certain banks have found it necessary to establish their own classes in geography so that their employees may have an adequate training in the fundamentals of this science. The pre-war consular reports of the government spoke of the ignorance which American business firms displayed toward their foreign trade. This indifference, if not ignorance, of the American exporter toward the physical conditions of other lands probably accounts in part for the loss of foreign markets. The study of regional geography as now conceived will rectify the situation. THE STAR HAIR GROWER A Wonderful Hair Dressing and Grower. 1,000 AGENTS WANTED.

When liquid air, containing from 40 to 50 per cent of oxygen, is mixed with powdered charcoal it forms an explosive which is said to be comparable in power to dynamite, and can be exploded by means of a detonator. This explosive has been tested in coal mines. The liquid air evaporates so rapidly that the explosive cannot be stored, but must be used within a few minutes after it is prepared.

Anyone passing along by Seott Chureh about noon on Tuesdays and ‘Thursdays could searcely be made to believe that the music coming from the band on the inside was being made by boys not over 12 years old, and who had not*been on their instruments: more than four months. The boys are doing splendid work, and the proving up well, Their parents and friends should rejoice in them. Crokinole has come to be a rage among the smaller boys, and also some of the larger ones. Some of them have almost worn the nails of their first fingers off m the game. Checkers, in which this set of boys is very deficient, are being played again. Many of the older boys are working regularly now. ‘That is the very best thing that could happen for them. Some are planning to enter school in the fall, All of them should do so, but unfortunately there will be many who will not do so. DENVERITE PASSES BOARD.

MISS MABEL V. COLE, DENVER VOCALIST, SCORES DECIDED SUCCESS IN RECITAL AT SHORTER CHURCH, THURSDAY, AUG. 24. Aguin we take great pleasure in an- nouncing the success of another of our home product and talent in a Recital at Shorter Church last ‘Thursday evening, when the people of Denver of Hoth races demonstrated beyond a doubt, by the large and critical audi- ence present, thelr willingness to en- courage and foster local talent in their efforts to acquire the musical art of .singing, as well as appreciate and commend a rendition, proving what our ambitions can achieve and our as- pirations attain under correct and thorough instruction, Miss Mabel V.

Because of our lateness for the press, we cannot publish the program, but her songs, “Three Questions,” by Rosamond Johnson, noted Negro com- poser; “At Dawning,” by Cadman, specially requested, and “Annie Lau- rie,” a8 well us the other numbers, were rendered with much credit to the singer and praise to her teacher. Con- tributing to the program were Miss Virgie S. Cole, a sister, who gave a fine execution’ and interpretation of Ttubinstein's “Kamenol Ostrom” in pi- ano solo, and Mr. George W. Hamil- ton, who gave readings from our late revered and famous poet, Paul Law- renee Dunbar.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Sheep, Wool, the Senate and the Tariff Army Board's Record "Plucking" Job National Leper Home at Carville, La. CARAWAY RESOLUTION TO INVESTIGATE FINANCIAL WASHINGTON—My, but Senator Caraway of Arkansas did raise a rumpus in the senate the other day when he tried to introduce a resolution providing for an investigation of charges that senators with large financial interests in the wool growing industry have been guilty of a serious breach of propriety in their efforts to boost duties on wool. He presented a resolution providing for an inquiry by the senate committee on judiciary into the financial connections of all senators with industries benefited either by the pending tariff bill or the emergency tariff law. The resolution was broad enough to cover all industries affected by the tariff, but a debate of several hours, which followed its presentation, related entirely to the activities of a group of western senators in connection with the wool schedule. Three senators under fire. Senators Gooding (Idaho), Bursum (N. M.), and THE board of general officers appointed to undertake the biggest wholesale "plucking" job ever initiated among the regular army officers' corps has begun its work, with Maj. Gen. Joseph T. Dickman, retired, presiding. Its job is the elimination or demotion of some 2,000 officers. Members of the board, which is representative of all arms of the service, were greatly concerned in their preliminary discussions over the probable effect upon the morale of the army of the suspended sentence now hanging over the head of practically every officer in the service, with the exception of General Pershing, and a baker's dozen. Congress, in directing that the officers' corps be reduced by Jan. 1 to 12,000, did not include the general officers of the army in fixing the number to be retained in each grade. The War department, in preparing instructions for the "plucking" board, did not include the general officers in so far as retirement of any of the major or brigade generals for physical disability would create vacancies and permit the appointment of colonels to general officer rank, reducing the number of surplus colonels to that extent. There was also much concern among board members as to the view AUTHORIZED TO ERECT BUILDINGS FOR LEPERS AT CARVILLE LA. CURSES! THAT there are "between 800 and 1,200 lepers scattered all over the United States" was set forth in a senate debate the other day which resulted in the passage of a bill for the relief of these afflicted ones. Senator Fernald of Maine, as chairman of the committee on public buildings and grounds reported the bill (S. 3731) directing the secretary of the treasury to have erected additional suitable buildings for the National Leper home at Carville, La., at a cost not to exceed $650,000. It appears, however, that the bill does not actually make the appropriation, but simply authorizes the committee on appropriations THAT Washington may soon win the title of "Convention City" is the prophecy of some old inhabitants. They say that convention meetings in the national capital grow in size and number every year. No one keeps an official record of the organization and their delegates that visit the city, but according to street car conductors, White House guards and watchmen in the government buildings, this year has been a record-breaker to date. So New York, Chicago, Denver and such ambitious towns should get busy—Washington'll git 'em if they don't watch out! It's the style, nowadays, for organizations of nation-wide scope to have headquarters in Washington—a fact that will bring many annual conventions here as a regular thing. This is one of the things the old-timers are counting on. There is no season of the year when Washington is not entertaining visitors who have gathered from the ends of the country to discuss by-laws and Stanfield (Ore.), arose and admitted their interest in the wool growing industry, but defended their positions. Senators Smoot (Utah), Oddie (Nev.), and Jones (N. M.), denied they now own any sheep. The resolution technically was not introduced because of an objection by Senator Wadsworth (N. Y.) to unanimous consent to present it out of order. Senator Caraway gave notice that he would introduce it at the earliest opportunity. Senator Gooding, in denouncing the resolution as "politics," declared that if it could be shown that he had violated any law, "by the eternal gods," he would resign his seat. Senator Warren of Wyoming, who during the debate on the Payne-Aldrich bill in 1909 was referred to by the late Senator Dolliver of Iowa as "the greatest shepherd since Abraham," denounced the resolution as a "d—n fool resolution," while Senator Bursum of New Mexico, who said he, too, was a sheep owner, characterized it as "ridiculous." Senator Robert Nelson Stanfield of Oregon, who is described in the Congressional Directory as being "America's largest producer of wool and mutton," argued that the very fact he is interested in wool fits him. In his own opinion, to vote "more intelligently" than some senators who stand in the senate and oppose the protective tariff principle. army officers might take of the board's action in recommending any officer for honorable discharge. Preliminary investigation indicates that probably more than 1,700 officers now on the rolls must be "separated" from the active service in this way. The board, it is understood, will seek by every means to impress upon the army and upon the general public the view that discharge under these conditions in no way reflects upon the character of the service a discharged officer has rendered, and that in a majority of the cases, at least, the army would much prefer to retain these officers' services. Board members are understood to feel that there is little prospect of finding many officers now on the rolls who merit discharge. The army recently cleaned house in this regard on its own motion. to make the appropriation next December if it sees fit to do so. Senator Fernald said, among other things: Mr. Fernald. First, let me say that for some years it has been known by the medical fraternity of the country that there are somewhere between eight and twelve hundred lepers scattered all over the United States. The State of Louisiana was the first state to move in this matter. Some eight or ten years ago that state made provision for getting those people in the state together and building a hospital, which was done. In 1917 the federal government found that it was necessary to move in the matter. They purchased that hospital at Carville, La., made an appropriation of $250,000, and provided for 200 beds. The hospital was immediately built, and the rooms immediately taken, so that we have the hospital entirely filled and 100 applicants from all over the country asking for provision to take care of them there. This bill is approved by the public health service and by the secretary of the treasury. It is very important that this appropriation be authorized immediately. election of officers, and to take a look at the government in action. But spring is the most favorable time for seeing Washington, and therefore spring always brings an unusually large assortment of convention followers. The capital with its trees bursting into pale green, its cherry blossom drive along the tidal basin, and its gay flower beds is at its best. Sightseeing is a serious business for the visiting delegate. There is a combination exposition, circus, state fair and liberal education perpetually available in the government buildings. RAIL LABOR BOARD SATISFIES HARDING HE MAY ASK CONGRESS TO GIVE IT MORE POWER AND MOVE IT TO WASHINGTON. WAITING FOR NEXT SESSION Creation of Similar Body to Handle Questions of Wages in the Mining Industry May Be Urged Upon the Law Makers. By JAMES P. HORNADAY Washington.—The railroad labor board has done so well that President Harding intends to ask congress to enlarge its powers and to biting it from Chicago and locate it along side the interstate commerce commission here. The President believes the board should stand between the railroads and their employees in much the same way as the interstate commerce commission stands between the railroads and the shippers. Both organizations, of course, are presumed to represent the public while seeing that exact justice is done between employers and employees on the one hand and transportation companies and shippers on the other hand. If the congress was not so far behind with its work the President would submit the recommendations which he has in mind during the present session, but he realizes as well as does the general public that the legislators are not in any mood to take on additional work at this time. And so the recommendations relating to the future of the labor board will probably not be presented until the regular session opens the first Monday in December. It is highly important, in the estimation of President Harding, that the labor board shall be brought to Washington. The transportation act located it in Chicago on the theory that out there it would be freer to deal with the problems submitted to it. But the experiences of the last two years and a half have convinced the authorities here that the board should be a near neighbor of the interstate commerce commission, since the two bodies are dealing with problems that overlap. Mine Labor Board Suggested. The administration is now looking for a way to apply the labor board plan to the coal mining industry. It is not unlikely that the decision will be to ask the congress to create a permanent mine labor board. A constitutional question is involved. Some of the members of the President's cabinet believe it would be worth while to create a mine labor board with powers similar to those conferred on the railroad labor board, and leave it to the Supreme court to say whether the congress has exceeded its authority. A mine labor board, if created, would be composed of three members constituting the labor group, three members constituting the operators' group, and three members constituting the public group. Under the legislation that is receiving consideration, the mine operators and the miners would, as a duty to the federal government, exert every reasonable effort and adopt every reasonable means to avoid any interruption in the operation of coal mines. The legislation would provide as does the transportation act that all disputes between operators and miners shall be considered and, if possible, decided in conference between representatives designated and authorized so to confer. The general public, which after all, is always the real sufferer in industrial clashes, the representatives of the nation and of the state who are dealing with the present strike situation and even the employers and employees who are directly engaged in the strike, appear to see more clearly than they have ever seen before that a way must be found to prevent the recurrence of strikes that affect great public utilities. Public Wants Industrial Peace. President Harding and his advisers have made up their minds that the public is a good deal more interested in the establishment of permanent industrial peace than in tariff legislation, subsidy legislation, bonus legislation or any of the other topics that have been holding the attention of the congress for a year and a half. The President has said to callers within the last two or three days that he realizes for the first time in his public career the bitterness with which these industrial quarrels are carried on. For nearly a month he has been between the fires of employers, employees and publicists. He has been criticized for not going fast enough in dealing with the two strikes, and for being too aggressive. Influential representatives of the political party, of which he is the titular head have expressed great dissatisfaction because he would not make use of federal troops unless a state called for them. Radical representatives of labor have said and are still saying that the administration is serving the employer. Many of the employers—railroad executives and mine operators—are extremely bitter because the President, as they assert, has shown too much sympathy for the cause of the employee. The country will, eventually, it is believed, realize that President Harding has from the outset sought to bring about a just settlement of both strikes. Qualified Men Get Diplomatic Posts, An examination of the records of appointments of ambassadors, ministers, ministers resident and agents in the diplomatic service of the United States since March 4, 1921, made by the National Civil Service Reform league, seems to indicate that an earnest effort has been made to retain the services of men of experience and to appoint to diplomatic posts persons with qualifications in diplomacy. Good Record for a First Year. Two agents and consuls general and one minister resident and consul general, in addition to 16 ministers and four ambassadors, made up a total of 23 appointments of persons without any previous experience. While many of the 23 appointments made of persons without previous diplomatic experience operated as a recognition of political obligations, the evil of such appointments, the league says, is largely abated by the present administration and contrasts favorably with the records of the first year of the other administrations. For this record President Harding and Secretary Hughes are to be commended. President Harding is, furthermore, in the view of the league, deserving of commendation in that he selected for secretary of state a man of the highest qualifications and one devoted to the merit principle. A still better showing is found, however, in turning to the consular service, where an unequaled record of adherence to the merit system has been made. During the first 15 months of the administration of President Harding there has not been a single exception to the rules requiring appointments through examination in the consular service. The original appointments have all been made strictly in accordance with executive orders and the promotions in the service have been based more strictly than ever before upon an impartial determination of the relative efficiency of the officers in the service. The basis of the promotions made is a report of the relative merit of all the officers in the consular service prepared by a board of review showing the relative efficiency of the various officers. Consular Showing Is Excellent. Out of 102 appointments to posts in the consular service, 15 have been to the grade of consul, class 7 (the lowest grade), as the result of entrance examinations. The remaining 87 appointments of consuls and consuls general have constituted promotions of men all of them having an average of ten years' experience. The three consular inspectors whose appointments are included in this number entered the service after examination, one as student interpreter, another as consular assistant and the third as consul with previous experience as vice-consul not of career. In the secretarial grades of the diplomatic service there have been a total of 38 appointments, 17 of which have been original appointments in the lowest class (class 4) through examination. The remaining 21 have been of four secretaries, class 1, with an average of 12 years' experience each, and ten secretaries of class 3, with an average of six years' experience each. Among the recommendations made by the league's committee on foreign service perhaps the most important is that which urges that political considerations be entirely eliminated and that the merit principle be applied to appointments and promotions in the foreign service. In the Beginning. On the evening of the sixth day, the beasts of the field, the fowls of the air and all the creeping things upon the earth assembled around a great stone table in the Garden of Eden. The occasion was a banquet in honor of Adam, who had just been created. The table was loaded with vegetables and fruits of all kinds—excepting apples. After the repast, the mastodon, who because of his size had been appointed master of ceremonies, bellowed "Speech! speech!" The tumult subsided only when the guest of honor, blushing all over, rose and bowed. "Vertebrates and invertebrates," he began, "this overwhelms me. I assure you I am absolutely unprepared—" And for once the old apology was sincere.—Life.

FOODS BECOME MORE TENDER (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) In canning meats, chicken, fish, game and vegetable mixtures, espe- cially in hot and humid climates, the pressure cooker 1s usually recommend- ed for reliable processing. There are also many dishes which may be pre- pared for, the table In the steam pressure cooker, the United States Department of Agriculture suggests. Most foods cooked in steam at tem- peratures above 212 degrees Fahren- heit become tender much more rapidly than in the ordinary way of cooking. Cheap, tough cuts of meat or dried beans and peas consequently may be prepared in a relatively short time In the steam pressure cooker, since at 5 pounds pressure the temperature of the bolling water and steam within the cooker is 228 degrees Fahrenheit; at 10 ~ounds pressure it 1s 240 de- grees Fahrenheit; at 15, pounds it is 250 degrees Fahrenhelt, and at 20 pounds it is 259 degrees Fahrenhett. Preserves Flavor. ‘Time and fuel are often saved by using the pressure cooker. Food value also may be saved in some instances; for it is often the case, that only a small amount’ of water is necessary, [ “ Large Type, of seam, Pr cour and the extractives from meats or vegetables can easily be kept and Utilized. Some flavors are better re- tained in the tightly closed cooker. It is a good Idea when planning to use the pressure cooker for preparing 4 meal, to put as many articles as pos- sible into the cooker at once. The meat will usually require. the longest time. ‘The vegetables should be put in about 15 minutes before the meat is expected to be ready to serve. Some experience 15 necessary to en- able the housewife to Judge the length of time for any given dish. Stewed and boiled meats which are cooked in the pressure cooker often have a richer flavor than those cooked over the stove. The problems of cook- ing meat In the pressure cooker are those incident to finding the proper length of time for which a piece of meat of given size, shape and tough- ness needs to be cooked. ‘The rate at which the heat penetrates to the cen- ter of the piece of meat and the mount of heat necessary to soften the connective tissues must be con- sidered. It is easler to cook meat in the pressure cooker {f the ment Is cut Into rather small pleces, than if it be In one large plece. Heat can then be applied for a shorter time with less danger of rendering the outer parts of the meat tough, hard or dry. Proc- essing at 10 to 15 pounds pressure Ig usually necessary when tough meat Is in @ thick, compact mass. When the meat {s cut into pieces it ts not timed by the pound but’ by its tough- ness. The usual rule is to process 30 to 50 minutes. Chicken and rabbit, disjointed, and prepared in the pres- sure cooker, are excellent. How te Cook a Pudding. Steamed puddings made of batter or dough may be cooked In the pressure cooker, but It is better to divide the pudding into stall portions or indi- vidual molds, ‘This allows a more rapid heat penetration, quicker ex- pansion, and reduces the time of cook- ing. It may be advisable, also, during the first part of the cooking period, to keep the petcock wide open. and even to prop the cover up so that it fits loosely, in order that the rato of cooking shall not be too rapid. When the pudding has risen well the lid may be clamped down and the pressure brought slowly to 15 pounds for 10 or 15 minutes, Before attempting to remove the la of the cooker be sure that. the pointer of the dial is at zero. If the petcock 1s opened to relieve the pres: sure, care should be taken to open {t little by little to avoid burning the operator. ! USE LARGEST PIECES WHEN CURING MUTTON It Will Be as Delicious as Any Ham or Bacon, Bureau of Animal Industry Recom- mends That Meat Be Thoroughly Cooled, but Never Frozen— ‘Two Successful Methods. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) ‘The average farmer seldom thinks of curing mutton as he thinks of curing pork for future use but, says the United States Department of Agricul- ture, it is possible to cure and smoke mutton that will be as delicious as any ham or bacon, The practice, says the department, should result in increasing the consumption of this meat which at the present time is only 3.9 per cent of the total meat used in the United States. One reason that the average family tires of mutton and develops a preju- dice against it 1s that when a sheep Is killed {t has been the habit to eat all the meat while fresh. Naturally, a diet of fresh lamb or mutton to the exclusion of other meats for many days 1s apt to cloy the appetite. As a result of the experimental work done by the bureau of animal indus- try, the following recommendations are made for curing mutton: Cool the ment thoroughly but never freeze It, elther before or during curing. Begin the curing process from 24 to 86 hours after killing. Because of high shrink- age in curing, only large pieces, such as legs and shoulders, are suitable for this use. A brine formula may be used, but dry-cured meat requires less work and keeps better. Both methods are successful, if the work {s carried out properly. In making the dry cure, for each 100 pounds of meat use seven pounds of salt, three pounds of sugar or sirup, two ounces saltpeter, two ounces red pepper and three ounces black pepper. The meat, after these ingredients thoroughly mixed have been applied, should be packed away in a box or on a table. A day and a half for each pound of the average weight of the pieces {s the right time to leave the meat in cure. When that period has elapsed, hang the pieces in the smokehouse and smoke. GOOD PRESERVE FOR WINTER Children Will Like Dried Apricots for Their Lunches—Noveity for Sunday Supper. The United States Department of Agriculture has tested and approves the following recipe for a good winter preserve. The children will like it for their school lunches, and to many persons {t will prove a novelty for Sunday night supper. Soak one pound chopped dried ap- ricots over night. Drain the juice from two No. 3 cans of pineapple and cut in small pieces. Add one-half the weight of pineapple in sugar and cook 20 minutes. Drain and add the apri- cots with one-half pound sugar and cook ten minutes longer. Turn into sterilized Jelly glasses and cover.

Any wom- an could follow this plan inde- pendently, but in Linn county seven communities organized and 104 women pledged them- selves to buy conveniences with all they made from the chicks raised and sold after setting one hen. In addition to the 722 chickens, which brought $735.20 cash, a number of premiums were offered by business men, ranging all the way from a par- ing knife to a pressure cooker, for those who made the best rec- ords from their single sitting. Several communities who have heard of this plan have asked to come in another year. OF INTEREST 10 THE HOUSEWIFE ee | MR. AND MRS. E. R, PAGE, PROPS. | SES Fi Is at All Aare First-Class Meals at !

KINDEL for CONGRESS A candidate for a seat in the House of Representatives at Washington owes to the voters a statement of what he stands for and what he will strive to accomplish if elected. Whatever prominence I enjoy among the people of this district has come through my consistent, constant effort for more than a generation to secure to the people of Denver and Colorado relief from the unjust and discriminatory rates for transportation that have obstructed progress, crippled our industries and imposed unjustifiable burdens on every citizen of the commonwealth. There can be no substantial growth in the city of Denver, no permanent prosperity among the farmers of the state, until they are granted equal opportunity by transportation lines with the citizens of other states. I believe the representatives elected this year will regard the demands of the people and that if given the opportunity I could in the next congress secure the reform for which I have given the best efforts of my life, THE VOLSTEAD ACT Every good citizen stands for temperance. No good citizen is an advocate of the saloon. Everybody acknowledges the evils growing out of intemperance. It is a question as old as civilization. Intelligent people earnestly desiring a solution to the problem in a way to best promote the general welfare, honestly differ as to the remedy. I am one of those who never believed the best and most effective way would be reached through prohibition. Against my judgment, however, I joined with those in favor of prohibition and voted for it, glad to give the experiment a trial, to determine whether or not it would do what was claimed by its friends. Legally, prohibition exists. Actually it has signally failed. Under it crime has steadily increased in our city and state, as the jails, the penitentiary and the records of the courts amply testify. It has provoked general disregard of the law and lessened respect for all laws. I have returned to my original belief that prohibition is not the proper and best remedy for intemperance, and unhesitatingly declare that I am for a modification of the law as it stands and for some regulation that will command the respect and support of public sentiment, without which no law can be enforced or endure. Meantime, I want rigid enforcement of the law on Capitol Hill as well as in the bottoms. Ching-Noung is reputed to have been the original teacher of how to make bread from wheat and wine from rice, about 1998 B. C. Baking of bread was known in patriarchal times and became a profession in Rome in 170 B. C. --- Cleaning Hint. When you're cleaning house sprinkle the clothes closets with a little water in which tobacco has been steeped and then sprinkle with a little spirits of camphor. The latter destroys the odor of the former and together they will prevent annoyance by moths. GRACEFUL FALL NEGLIGEES; NOVELTIES IN NEW BLOUSES "NEGLIGEE" should be given a broad construction because it includes several distinct types of dresses for wear at home and each type is intended for a special kind of service. These types must be reported separately since they have so little in common that what applies to one is not true of another. For instance, the kimono and the tea frock are so different that they cannot be considered together, yet they are both negligees. Negligees are conveniently classed, first as kimonos or as belonging to the kimono group, which includes all those used to make it and designers indulge themselves in many pretty vagaries in details of trimming and finishing. The lovely tea frock-pictured is made of a pile fabric and has transparent sleeves bordered with fur. Two novel blouses for preesnt wear are among the new arrivals from Europe that have found a warm welcome here. They have not been changed or "adapted," but are presented as examples of art characteristic of the countries from which they come. Each of them is well suited for wear now and all during the fall sea. INTERNATIONAL Tea Frock of Pile Fabric. intimate garments intended for wear in the bedroom. Then come breakfast coats, or lounging robes in which one is presentable in the house, and finally, more formal negligees that are described as tea frocks, or hostess gowns. They are the lovely and picturesque affairs in which women spend their leisure with friends who drop in and drink a cup of tea. All these different types are shown in new developments. The kimono appears in the regulation kimono cut and in the coat style and wrap model, all opening down the front. There are some slip-overs shown among them and some of them have a girdle or sash about the waist. Designers have setized upon the new "blistered" cotton and cotton matelasse, for making them. Old-time albatross and THE MUSICAL European Novelties in Blouses. French flannel are also used in addition to the regulation silk and cottoncrepe weaves. In breakfast coats, corduroy and quilted silks divide interest with blistered silk and matelasse. The corduroy has made departure in style and appears in Persian and checked printed patterns. These coats open at the front, are bloused at the back, or all around, and have long girdles of the material, often ending in tassels, that tie at the front. Their sleeves are capacious, usually of the square type, and many of the coats are provided with pockets. The tea frock takes its cue from dresses and indulges in graceful drapery, handson ornaments, for holding the drapery, in long, flowing, transparent sleeves and, sometimes, fur trimmings. Such supple and rich materials as crepe back satin, crepe dhinge and novelty pile fabrics are used to make it and designers indulge themselves in many pretty vagaries in details of trimming and finishing.

"Czechoslovakia" is brilliantly written on the graceful blouse of white volle, gaily embroidered in colored floss, shown at the right of the illustration. These blouses are presumably embroidered by peasants and made in styles typical of their country. Many of them display the use of one color with white, while many more employ three or more colors in their embroidery. There are several slightly varied styles, but the blouse pictured is typically Czechoslovakian and handsome. It is very full at the neck, and this fullness is disposed of by fine smocking with colored floss which forms a narrow round yoke. A standing collar is attached to the yoke with needlework and is ornamented with embroidery. The full sleeves are gathered in at the wrist, forming a band like the yoke and are finished with a narrow ruffle edged with buttonholing. The blouse at the left is made of crepe de chine with a latticework of narrow ribbon covering it, except where needlework motifs are set in. Where the ribbons intersect a cross-stitch of silk floss holds them together and the blouse can be imagined in many beautiful color combinations. It is a very simple design, but the painstaking handwork lavished on it gives it a strong French accent. In the long sash of crepe de chine the designer has varied the decoration by placing the narrow ribbon in parallel lines and an important feature appears in the split over the hips.
