LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY PRESIDENT HARDING VETOES SOLDIER BONUS BILL States Nation Cannot Endure Further Tax Burden. VOL. XXVIII. PRESIDENT HARDIN BONUS States Nation Cannot En WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—The text of President Harding's message vetoing the soldier bonus bill follows: "To the House of Representatives: "Herewith is returned without approval H. R. 10,874, a bill to provide adjusted compensation for the veterans of the World War and for other purposes. "With the avowed purpose of the bill to give expression of a nation's gratitude to those who served in its defense in the World War, I am in accord, but to its provisions I do not subscribe. The United States never will cease to be grateful; it cannot and never will cease giving expression to that gratitude. "In legislation for what is called adjusted compensation Congress failed, first of all, to provide the revenue from which the bestowal is to be paid. Moreover, it establishes the very dangerous precedent of creating a treasury covenant to pay which puts a burden variously estimated between four and five billions upon the American people, not to discharge an obligation, which the government always must pay, but to bestow a bonus which the soldiers themselves while serving in the World War did not expect. "It is not to be denied that the nation has certain very binding obligations to those of its defenders who made real sacrifices in the World War and who left the armies injured, disabled or diseased so that they could not resume their places in the normal activities of life. These obligations are being gladly and generously met. Perhaps there are here and there inefficiencies and injustices and some distressing instances of neglect, but they are all unintentional and every effort is being directed to their earliest possible correction. Does Not Complain at Cost of Measure "In meeting this obligation there is no complaint about the heavy cost. In the current fiscal year we are expending $510,000,000 on hospitalization and care of sick and wounded on compensation and vocational training for the disabled and for insurance. The figures do not include the more than $35,000,000 in process of expenditure on hospital construction. "The estimates for the year to follow are appropriately $470,000,000 and figures may need to be made larger. Though the peak in hospitalization may have passed there is a growth in domicilization and the discharge in full of our obligations to the diseased, disabled or dependent who have a right to the government's care, with insurance liability added, will probably reach a total sum in excess of $25,000,000,000. "More than 99,000 veterans are now enrolled in some of the 445 different courses in vocational training. Fifty-four thousand of them are in schools or colleges, more than 38,000 are in industrial establishments and a few more than 6,000 are being trained in schools operated by the veterans' bureau. "Approximately 19,000 have completed their courses and have employment in all cases where they desire it, and 53,000 have deferred for the present time their acceptance of training. The number eligible under the law may reach close to 400,000 and facilities will continue to be afforded, unmindful of the necessary cost, until every obligation is fulfilled. "Two hundred and seventy-six thousand patients have been hospitalized, more than a quarter of a million discharged and 25,678 patients are in our hospitals to-day. "Four hundred and sixteen thousand awards of compensation have been made on account of death or disability and $480,000,000 have been paid to disabled men or their dependent relatives. One hundred and seventy-five thousand disabled ex-service men are now receiving compensation along with medical or hospital care where needed, and a quarter of a million checks go out monthly in distributing the $8,000,000 payment on indisputable obligations. Sees No Obligation Necessary for Bonus. "I recite the figures to remind the Congress how generously and how properly it has opened the treasury doors to discharge the obligations of the nation to those whom it indisputably owes compensation and care. Though undying gratitude is the need of everyone who served, it is not to be said that a material bestowal is an obligation to those who emerged from the great conflict not only unharmed but physically, mentally and spiritually richer for the great experience. "When the bill was under consideration in the House I expressed the conviction that any grant of bonus ought to provide the means of paying it, and I was unable to suggest any plan other than that of a general sales tax. Such a plan was unacceptable to the Congress and the bill has been enacted without even a suggested means of meeting the cost. Indeed, the most is not definitely known, either for the immediate future or in the ultimate settlement. "This is borrowing on the nation's credit just as truly as though the loans were made by direct government borrowing and invokes a dangerous abuse of public credit. Moreover, the certificate plan of payment is little less than certified inability of the government to pay and invites a practice on sacrificial barter which I cannot sanction. "It is worth remembering that the public credit is founded on the popular belief in the defensibility of public expenditure as well as the government's ability to pay. Loans come from every rank in life, and our heavy tax burdens reach directly or indirectly every element in our citizenship. "Within the next six years more than $10,000,000,000 of debt will mature and will have to be financed. These outstanding and maturing obligations are difficult enough to meet without the complication of added borrowings, every one of which threatens higher interest and delays the adjustment to stable government financing." Bonus Not Case of Emergency. "It is sometimes thoughtlessly urged that it is a simple thing for the rich republic to add $4,000,000,000 to its indebtedness. This impression comes from the readiness of the public response to the government's appeal for DENVER. COLORADO. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 23 1922 funds amid the stress of war. It is to be remembered that in the war everybody was ready to give his all. "To a war necessity there was but one answer, but a peace bestowal on the ex-service men, as though the supreme offering could be paid for with cash, is a perversion of public funds, a reversal of the policy which exalted public service in the past, and suggests that future defense is to be inspired by compensation other than consciousness of duty to flag and country. "After nearly a year and a quarter of insistence and persuasion with a concerted drive to reduce government expenditure in every quarter possible, it would wipe out everything thus far accomplished to add now this proposed burden, and it would rend the commitment of economy and saving so essential to our future welfare. "The financial problems of the government are too little heeded until we are face to face with a great emergency. The diminished income of the government, due to the receding tides of business and attending incomes, has been overlooked momentarily, but cannot be long ignored. The latest budget figures for the current fiscal year show an estimated deficit of more than $650,000,000 and a further deficit for the year succeeding, even after counting upon all interest collections on foreign indebtedness which the government is likely to receive. Addition to Debts Declared Folly "To add to our pledges to pay except as necessity compels must seem no less than governmental folly. Inevitably it means increased taxation, which Congress was unwilling to levy for the purpose of this bill, and will turn us from the course toward economy so essential to promote the activities which contribute to common welfare. "The contemplation of such a policy is in accord with the established practice of the nation and puts the service men of the World War on the same plane as the millions of men who fought the previous battles of the republic. "I confess a regret that I must sound a note of disappointment to the many ex-service men who have the impression that it is as simple a matter for the government to bestow billions in peace as it was to expend billions in war. I regret to stand between them and the pitiably small compensation proposed. "The simple truth is that this bill proposes a government obligation of more than $4,000,000,000 without a provision of funds for the extraordinary expenditure, which the executive branch of the government must finance in the face of difficult financial problems, and the complete defeat of our commitment to effect economies. "These ex-soldiers who served so gallantly in war, and who are to be so conspicuous in the progress of the republic in the half century before us, must know that nations can only survive where taxation is restrained from the limits of oppression, where the public treasury is locked against class legislation, but ever open to public necessity and prepared to meet all essential obligations. Such a policy makes a better country for which to fight, or have fought, and affords a surer abiding place in which to live and attain." Porters Accused of Whiskey Smuggling Poughkeepsie, N. Y.—White Southerners here attending the Eastman Business College occasionally find themselves in hot water because they cannot realize that colored people in Poughkeepsie are not to be treated as they are in Texas and Georgia. One young Texan is under $1,000 bail for a wanton and brutal attack made on Attorney G. C. Bolin. Mr. Bolin, on his way to supper, was assaulted unexpectedly and knocked down. The white man will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. On the same afternoon, Mrs. Mary J. Colden, walking on Main Street, was approached by another white Southerner, who inquired in the most insulting manner, "Who in hell put all the gold in your mouth?" White and colored Poughkeepsians are of one mind that these outrages will not be permitted and the Southerners will be in for unpleasant experiences if they attempt a continuance of these acts. Professed Ku Klux Scares Parents; Attacks Girl Professed Ku Klux Scares Parents; Attacks Girl Washington, D. C., Sept. 15.—Following an attack on 14-year-old Isabella Robertson by alleged and professed Ku Klux Klanmen, Frank Fields (white) of Brickhaven, was arrested and thrown into jail, charged with the crime. The girl, in a serious condition, was placed under the care of doctors. According to the parents of the girl, a white man resembling Fields broke into their home late in the evening. His features were hid by a handkerchief that covered the lower portion of his face. He is said to have approached the mother and father of the girl with a loaded gun pointed at them, demanding that they stand against the wall with their backs to it. When he had them like he wanted them he began questioning them, asking them if they had ever heard about the Ku Klux Klan and telling them he was a klansman. On their admission that they had heard of the notorious order, he told them that they were going to hear and see some more. The man then put his fingers to his mouth and whistled. No one came, but while the parents were awaiting the mob, the man seized Isabella, the daughter, and made away with her, dragging her nearly half a mile to the woods between Addison Heights and Virginia Highlands. There he attacked her under threats, demanding, under penalty of death, that she meet him at the same place and for the same purpose the following night. The girl's father notified the police. On his way to town he was picked up by a white man to whom he told the story and who aided him in getting quick official action. The officers went to the Robertson home, where they picked up clues that led to the home of Fields. The latter is married. When they broke into his home they are said to have found him with a double-barreled shotgun across his bed and a loaded army pistol under his pillow. He is said to have resisted arrest so that the sheriff had to overpower him. All this happened right across the river from the capital, showing how far klan iniquity is going. The nature of the attack also shows the turns their form of intimidation may take. White Students Are Playing for Trouble Southerners Attending the Eastman Business College at Poughkeepsie Are Creating Dangerous Conditions. Chicago, Ill., Sept. 15.—Existence of a whisky-running syndicate between the Bermuda Islands and Chicago, employing West Indian fishermen at one end and Pullman porters at the other, was disclosed to federal authorities by nine porters under arrest. District Attorney Cline, who interviewed the nine porters, took quick action on their statements. He started twenty agents for New Orleans to arrest seven "higher-ups" there, and detailed men to find three others in Chicago. So extensive is the organization, according to the porters, that it owns a fleet of fishing smacks to bring whisky into New Orleans from Bermuda. More than 300 cases a week have been brought into Chicago in sleeping cars, the porters said. They received the whisky at a secret distributing point, they said, carried it to their cars and then packed it away under the seats. Their fee was $5.00 a case. Blind Boone Robbed of $2,350 in Jewelry Columbia, Mo., Sept. 6.—One diamond ring valued at $2,000 and another which had a value of $350, were stolen some time last Tuesday from the home of J. W. ("Blind") Boone, 10 North Fourth Street. The rings were taken from a purse which was kept in the dining room of the house, presumably by a prowler in search of money. Other articles of jewelry valued at about $100, which were in a different part of the house, were overlooked by the thieves. Mr. Boone, who is nationally known as a concert pianist, this morning described the $2,000 ring as a four and one-third carat, blue-white diamond, mounted in a heavy pronged platinum setting. According to Mr. Boone, the stone has attracted a good deal of attention from the public during the thirty-two years he has worn it. The other ring consisted of nine small diamonds mounted in a heavy gold filigree setting. Mrs. Boone was in the house all of Tuesday, excepting between 11 and 12 o'clock in the morning. It is probable that the burglar entered the house during that time. Spanish War Widows Get Pension Increase Spanish War Widows Get Pension Increase Washington, D. C., Sept. 15.—President Harding has signed a bill increasing the pensions of widows of Spanish-American war veterans from $12 to $20 a month, and the pensions of their dependent children from $2 to $4 a month. This bill is meant to include all Americans, regardless of color. Race widows whose husbands fought in the war against Spain are entitled to the increase and are advised to get busy and state their claims to the proper authorities. NO 49 Negro Soldiers Assigned to Georgia? Speculation Is Rife on the Move of Regulars to Stronghold of the Ku Klux Klan. Nogales, Ariz., Sept. 6.—According to news releases here, the Twenty-fourth (colored) Regiment, at Columbus, N. M., is ordered to Fort Benning, Ga. This news and the fact that the regimental strength is down to 513 men, some of whom it is rumored are to be transferred, lends grave credence to the recent rumor that the colored regular regiments were to be used as service troops. The Twenty-fourth's recently acquired target range record of 91.90 per cent made this regiment the third of the three leading sharpshooting regiments in this corps area. Far more startling is the fact that the two leading regiments are the Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fifth infantry, both colored. Probably for the first time in the history of the race, colored people have began questioning motives back of the assignment of a colored military unit to duty. The high rifle records of the colored regiments, however, the recent rumors of labor assignment and the order of the Twenty-fourth to Georgia, home of the Ku Klux Klan, have happened too close together to not be connected. Colored Workers Leave Town Colored Workers Leave Town Twelve Were Employed at Plant and on Road; Exit Follows Trouble. English, Ind., Sept. 6.—Twelve colored men employed in the Marengo Limestone Company's plant and on a stone road being resurfaced from that place to Leavenworth, left Marengo yesterday following a disturbance the preceding evening. It is alleged that the management of the plant had hired colored laborers in preference to white men, and the residents of the town objected. No colored men have ever lived in Crawford county, but since government dam No. 43 has been under construction at Leavenworth, colored laborers have been working there. Many of the residents of Crawford county are opposed to the Negro as a citizen. Officers were summoned from English when the disturbances began at Marengo, but the agreement of the men to leave resulted in the restoration of peace. Universal Peace Congress to Discuss Race Question Universal Peace Congress to Discuss Race Question The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today, through its Secretary, James Weldon Johnson, the receipt of a letter from Mr. Golay, General Secretary of the International Bureau of Peace, with headquarters at Berne, Switzerland, stating that that organization at its Twenty-second Congress, held in London, July 25-29, adopted the following resolutions: "The International Bureau of Peace is asked to put on the Agenda of the next International Peace Congress the question of the relations of the white and colored races." Mr. Golay in his letter further states that the bureau was directed to communicate this resolution to the governments of the world, to the delegates to the Assembly of the League of Nations and to all institutions interested in the question. The letter concludes with a request of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to provide this bureau with documents and information that will enable it to obtain adequate information regarding the question to be discussed. FOREIGN Serious damage is believed to have resulted from a typhoon which recently swept over the Philippines. It is reported that the typhoon was severest in northern Luzon. A French note was received in London offering French co-operation in defending the Turkish straits, but deprecating the warlike tone of the British semi-official statement of Saturday. Russia intends to support the Turks morally, and perhaps will give them munitions, if they should be needed; but it is considered in Moscow as extremely unlikely that Russian troops will be sent to assist the Kemalists if they attempt to take Constantinople, soviet officials indicated. John H. Clark, American cashier of the Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies Petroleum Corporation in Tampico, was wounded seriously and his Mexican chauffeur killed when six bandits held up their automobile less than half a mile from Tampico and robbed them of pay roll funds amounting to 42,000 pesos. The Hungarian foreign committee of parliament at Budapest heard the government's explanations concerning the allegations that it was concerned in the recent plot against the Rumanian royal family. Premier Bethlen declared the incident was "merely a maneuver against Hungary's good reputation." With the utter collapse of the Greek army in Asia Minor before the Turks, the long smoldering Near Eastern problem again confronts Europe and in some quarters is considered as constituting a threat against the peace and well being of Europe, owing to the differing interests and conflicting views of the principal allied governments. Ten republicans and six nationalists were killed in a conflict at Eris, in County Mayo, when the republicans, retreating from Ballina, were attacked by government troops. The military were at a disadvantage, as they had no machine guns, and they suffered severely in the earlier stages of the fight. Later their accurate markmanship took a heavy toll from the republicans. With British troops intrenched at strategic points on the Dardanelles, French and Italian battalions rushing to join them, and from far New Zealand word that an Anzac contingent will be dispatched to the scenes of their hericiac sacrifices in the late war, to assist in dealing with the Turkish Nationalists, there has been a swift carrying into effect of the allied pronouncements regarding a firm determination to preserve the freedom of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus. GENERAL Walter Allen, one of those held responsible for the Logan county mine war last summer, was convicted to Charleston, W. Va., for treason against the state of West Virginia, with the recommendation that he be sentenced to serve ten years in the state penitentiary. The jury was out only forty-six minutes. An international co-operative body for promoting police efficiency through all countries, and to be known as the world police conference, came into being at the national police conference in New York. The present membership of the organization is comprised only of the heads of police departments of cities of this country. A committee of one was appointed to devise a secret, confidential code, to be used by the world organization. Police of Canton, Ohio, are hoping that Joseph Nola, husband of one of the women murdered in the triple staying in Canton, can give them information that will lead them to the capture of the crusher who beat two women and a man to death with an iron bar. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Burns were beaten to death in their home and their slayer waited until Mrs. Mary Nola and Luther Armstrong entered the house, killed Mrs. Nola and wounded Armstrong, who escaped and called police. One of the greatest present menaces to the prosperity of the United States is the unwillingness of large groups of people "to accept any result of government regulation which are not directly adverse to the development of the railways," declared Samuel O. Dunn, editor of Railway Age, in an address before the Des Moines Chamber of Commerce. Applicants for admission to Harvard University will be asked to state whether "any change has been made since their birth in their names or the names of their fathers," it became known in Cambridge. The appearance of this and similar queries on the questionnaires was said to result from the movement initiated last spring to limit enrollment of persons of certain races. Developments in the United States air mail service within a year will include a twenty-eight-hour mail service between New York and San Francisco and the air mail to the interior of Alaska, Second Assistant Postmaster General Paul Henderson said in an address in New York City to the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce and Aeronautical executives at the Automobile Club of America. A destructive fire that originated in a building at the rear of the Wilson hotel at Platte, S. D., destroyed nearly two blocks of business houses and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul passenger station. Only the newspaper office and one other small concrete building remain north of the spot where the Wilson hotel stood. The 1922 world series baseball championship will open Oct. 4 in New York City, it was decided in Chicago at a meeting of National and American League representatives here. Last year's prices will prevail. THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS A BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR-EIGN COUNTRIES. IN LATE DISPATCHES IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE. WESTERN Seventy thousand acres of forest fires are burning in California, according to dispatches received in Washington by the United States Forest Service from its San Francisco office. Three fires on the Shasta National Forest have burned over 19,000 acres. With a total of 97,740 visitors this season, Yellowstone Park has broken all records for travel and leads its nearest rival, Yosemite Park in California, by more than 2,500 tourists, according to figures announced by Horace M. Albright, superintendent of the Yellowstone. James E. Mahoney, convicted of murder of his aged and wealthy wife, Kate M. Mahoney, in April, 1921, was sentenced in Superior Court at Seattle, Wash., to be hanged Dec. 1. Mahoney's counsel gave notice of an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. Seven men were injured in a fire in the engine room and crews' quarters of the motorship William Donovan, a lumber carrier. The vessel was saved from destruction by flooding the hold and permitting it to sink in the harbor at Los Angeles. Damage was estimated at $75,000. Wage increases for mine workers in all mines of the Coeur d'Alene mountains will be effective on Oct. 7, it was announced at Wallace, Ida. Miners will receive a 75-cent increase to $5 a day; muckers will receive a 50-cent wage increase to $4.50; timber men will get a 75-cent increase to $5.50. Connection between the Argonaut mine at Jackson, Calif., where forty-seven men entombed more than three weeks, and the adjoining Kennedy mine resulted in the discovery of the bodies of all the men. Formal announcement was made that the crew on the 3,600-foot level, all members of which are Argonaut miners, had won the $5,000 bonus offered by the mine officials to the first crew to break into the Argonaut. Edward F. Winkler, a member of a band of six men who attempted to hold up the Golden State Limited on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific at Jaynes station, six miles from Tucson, Ariz., on May 15, was arrested in Albuquerque. He admitted his identity and told officers a detailed story of the attempted holdup in which H. Stewart, an express messenger, killed Tom Dupat, one of the holdup men, and foiled the plans of the band. WASHINGTON The Senate adopted the conference report on the new Republican tariff bill, thereby completing Congressional action on the legislation. With his open palm, Representative Oliver, Democrat, Alabama, gave Representative Dempsey, Republican, New York, a slap on the cheek in the House the other day during the hubbub which usually attends calling of the roll, and then as he was attempting to strike a second time, members rushed between them. As explanations came later, the House found that the encounter was due to a misunderstanding. Mrs. Harding, now safely on the road to complete recovery from her recent serious illness, probably will spend the entire recuperative period at the White House. The soldiers' bonus bill was vetoed by President Harding. In returning the measure to Congress without his approval, the Executive in a message to the House declared that he was in accord with the avowed purposes of the bill, but that he could not subscribe to its provisions. Without a record vote the House approved the conference report on the soldiers' bonus bill. The measure now goes to the Senate, and with final action there it will be sent to President Harding. An effort to send the soldiers' bonus bill back to conference for the insertion of a land reclamation option failed. Approval by Congress of the rates on dyes agreed upon by the Senate and House conferees will mean the "final doom" of the newly created American chemical industry, Dr. Charles H. Herty, president of the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturers' Association of the United States, declared in Washington. The highest coal production since the big strike was called on April 1 was attained last week when between 10,200,000 and 10,500,000 tons were produced, the geological survey announced at Washington. Of this amount, between 900,000 and 950,000 tons were anthracite. This week is expected to mark the close of second session of the sixty-seventh Congress. Enactment of the tariff bill and final disposition of the soldiers' bonus bill are expected to provide the principal features of the closing week of legislation.

Aspen.—Aspen, one of the great mining camps of the state, whose production of the white metal amazed the world in the past and was a factor in the demonetization of silver, is on the eve of a revival which will surpass its palmiest days. The treasure vaults of this camp are being opened with surprising results. Such oldtime producers as the Aspen, Durant, Hope, Newman, Smuggler and many others are again on a productive basis. New enterprises have been started, mills have been remodeled, roads and tramways have been built—all this activity has resulted in an increase in both the output of ore and population of the district. Las, Animas.—Forrest, the 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Asa Bowman, lies in the Las Animas hospital with both feet almost severed from his legs as the result of an accident at the Bowman ranch, twenty-six miles south of here. The father was cutting hay and the boy went to the field to be with him and thought to play a joke on his father by hiding in the tall grass. As the mower approached the boy jumped up and the team became frightened and leaped forward, bringing the sickle against the boy's legs. Pueblo.—The largest cash transaction ever handled by the Pueblo county sheriff's office took place when the land and water rights of the Cucharas Land and Water Company were sold to J.

MATION Can Please You OFFICE PHONE CHAMPA 87-88 WAR DEPARTMENT DECIDES THAT WE CAN'T GET ALONG WITHOUT SUCH AIRSHIPS WILL USE HELIUM GAS ONLY New Vessel Will Be of Semi-Rigid Type and Will Be Equipped With Suspension Landing Devices for Airplanes. By JAMES P. HORNADAY eration the War department has de- cided that the United States cannot get along safely without giant diri- gible airships equal to those built by. any other nation. In some quarters | regret 1s expressed that the’ confer- ence on the limitation of armaments did not place some limitation on diri- gibles. As things stand there is bound to be an unrestricted race between nations in this sort of construction. Contracts for the first giant dirigible of American make and American de- sign have been closed. ‘The great air- ship will be somewhat larger than the Bi-fated Roma and, if successful as a fiyer, will be tried out as an airplane carrier. ‘The chief of the army air service says that a series of experiments with suspension landing devices for air- planes had been arranged for the Roma before she was destroyed, and the same experiments it is now in- tended shall be carried out with the new ship. These devices, it is under- stood, are intended to provide a base for landing and departure at any helght in the air, ‘The American-made ship will be built under the direction of the building company's engineers and those of the army working to- gether. ‘The vessel will be of the seml- rigid type, as was the Roma, will be 800 feet in length and have a gas bag capacity of 750,000 eubie feet. No kind of gas will be used in the new aireraft except helium, as a nee- essary protection against fre, which destroyed within the year both the giant ZR-2 and the Roma. Construe tion of the ship has aot yet begun, and when it does it is estimated that one year and six months will be required before it 1s completed. Cruising Radius of 4,000 Miles. Engineers claim that the new craft will haye a cruising radius of 4,000 miles, which would enable it easily to ross the Atlantic ocean. They plan that on low speed its engines shall be capable of maintaining a speed of 4444 miles an hour and on high speed 70 miles an hour. All details as to the landing devices or heavier-than-air machines on the big gas-supported ship are at present being kept a secret, though the gen- eral scheme of seizing the smaller ma- chines by some appartus suspended below the great dirigible Is indicated by the War Department cngineers. On the new army dirigible airplanes can be cartied and dropped with the atr- ship In full flight. Likewise an air- plane can fly underneath the dirigibie and be picked up with a big hook and hoisting apparatus and brought up on bonrd while the ship is flying 60 miles an hour. It will have two power cars and a navigator’s car, all aituched to the metal keel of the ship. It will be capable of making the 3,000-mile trip from New York to San Francisco or from Liverpool to New York at a speed of 50 miles an hour, completing the Journey in 60 hours: Delano Service Is Started. The first two Red Cross nurses to engage in a missionary form of service provided for in the will of the late Jane A. Delano, who died in France while director of the nursing service of the American Red Cross, have been detailed for duty in Alaska and in the Islands off the Maine coast. Miss’ Bertha B. Steeves, formerly superintendent of the Ottawa (Can,) hospital, and long in nursing and settlement work, has been select- ed for the Alaskan field. Miss Stella Fuller, u graduate of the Milwaukee training school, who served with, the A. I. C, in France during the “war, takes up the work in Maine. ‘The conditions of the bequest re- quire that the nurses selected be so situated that demands of dependents ‘will not Interfere with their work. In addition to being enrolled Red Cross nurses, candidates for the distinction must have had two years’ experience In public health nursing, be qualified to teach, and be not less than thirty years old. Miss Delano’s purpose in endowing this special service as a me- morlal to her father and mother was to create nursing facilities in isolated districts where no funds are available from governmental or other agencies ‘or from individuals. The Delano nurses will be under the supervision of the American Red Cross. A memorial in recognition of the achievements of Miss Delano in the form of a monument Is to be erected by popular subscription on the grounds of the Red Cross national headquar- ters in Washington at a cost of $50,000. Tt will stand as a shrine commemorat- Ing not only Miss Delano, but all Amer- ican nurses who responded to the call of thelr country in the World war. To Improve Health of Indians. In order to test the feasibility of public health nursing and general wel- fate work on the Indfan reservations. jis being done at the request of Charles -H, Burke, United States commissioner of Indian affairs, and will cover one year, Mr Burke, haying in view the im- “provement of health conditions among ‘the Indians and a demonstration of or- ‘ganized service among the various tribes to prove whether It Is possible to Instruct Indian mothers particularly in health methods, urgently requested that the Red Cross assign trained per sonnel to the task, “I am very solicitons to get into the Indian service some young women trained for welfare work,” said Mr, Burke, “I know what thé American Red Cross has done in encouraging the countles in the varlous states to employ county nurses, I am sure if we have some co-operative assistance it will show that ft Is possible great- ly to Improve health conditions on the reservations.” Great Value of Geophone. AS the result of experiments made by the bureau of mines, the geophone, a novel instrument used amld the reek and slaughter of the World war for the detection of earth and rock sounds made in the con- struction of military mines and tun- nels, promises -to become an active factor in the saving of the lives of miners entombed us the result of fires and explosions. In the course of tests conducted in the bureau's expert- mental coal mine near Pittsburgh, blows with a sledge on the conl face were heard, by means of the geophone, at a distance of 650 feet, with vurtous rooms and entries intervening. On a suspended pipe tne, lght hammering with the knuckles was de- tected at’a distance of 1,500 feet. Or- dinary talking and singing could be detected through 150 feet of _solld coal. By the use of two geophones, one instrument to each ear, it 1s pos- sible to determine the direction from which a sound Is coming through the earth, and thus to locate the approxl- mute position of an entombed miner. The bureau gives recommendations for a signal code of poundings by sledges or other means which will es- tablish communication between the rescuing party and those entombed. Another promising use of the geo- phone is in the location of leaks in water pipes. By means of the Instru- ment Is is possible to hear water clr- culating in the pipes of ordinary clty mains situated 10 to 15 feet below the surface, Tests conducted at a busy corner in the downtown district of Pittsburgh located a leak in a water main which the water company had for two weeks vainly sought to de- tect. It's a Small Seismograph. ‘The mine geophone Is sensitive, yet extremely simple and easily portable. ‘The instrument was invented by the French during the war to detect sap- ping and underground mining opera. tions. It was developed by the United States engineers, and the instruments now used by the bureau of mines were made according to plans drawn by them, except for the Introduction of different diaphragms. The geophone Is essentially a small selsmograph, as It embodies the same principles as the ponderous apparatus that records earthquake tremors. It really consists of a lead weight suspended between two electric diaphragms cutting across a small airtight box, If the Instru- ment is placed on the ground and any- one is pounding or digging In the vt- cinity, energy Is transmitted as wave motion to the earth, and the earth waves shake the geophone case. The “geophone, therefore, transforms the earth wave into an alr wave, which is heard by the ear as sound, and at the same time magnifies the wave so that the sound Is louder than ff the ears | were placed in direct contact with the earth. | ‘The observations of the bureau of mines indicate that the geophone should be quite useful in the location jen mine fires. Usually a mine fire makes enough noise, either by draw: ing alr or by breaking off slate and coal, to be heard for « considerable | distance through the coal and even through the strata above, The dis tance that these sounds ean be heard depends a great deal on the nature of the strata above the mine, vet the sounds originating at a mine fire should be detected through 100 to 300 feet of cover and through 500 to 800 feet of coal. Geophones supply a quick and fairly accurate method of mine surveying. If two tunnels were being brought to- gether from any direction, the prog- ress of the tunnels could be observed by means of the geophones, and their relative positions determined. ca ‘Another application of the possibill- PUBLIC TRUSTHE'S SALE. , Whereas, Henry N.

As one who believes in the principles of unionism, and in collective bargaining, 1 would warn all organized labor that sanctions or commits violence that, although the laws may be diverted, or may be tardy in exe- cution, and although public sentiment is slow to anger, yet the 100,000,000 of unorganized people in the United States will surely control public sentiment, will frame their laws and will compel their enforcement, for the greatest union of all is the union of the Stars and Stripes. One half of organized labor is conservative. ‘They are home owners and their children become good citizens. ‘They must very soon break away from those in their own crafts who disregard the rights and necessities of others, who do not approve or practice the creed “An honest day’s work for an honest day’s wage,” or who are willing to do murder to kill competition. The pageant of savagery that recently stalked abroad by day in Illinois, still unrebuked, would have pallored the painted Indian, Have these people wholly forgotten God? A strike in an industry essential to the public welfare without vio- lence cannot succeed, and a strike with violence defeats itself.

The real fault behind the unholy burden of taxes is that we have elected to office good fellows, handshakers, name rememberers, baby-kissers, spenders, good- natured drunkards, heroes, relatives of relatives, orators, lawyers and prominent citizens. Yet we need stingy, successful business men in public office, men who would be just as close with public money as they are with their own, and men who would get a dollar and ten cents of worth for every dollar of public money spent. here are hundreds of such men who couldn’t bear to spend your money or my money recklessly, because their mind is developed that way, instead of being warped to squander money because it is money. 7 We are now paying for the orgies of friendly, neighborly and crimi- nal graft that the handshakers, good fellows, have slipped us for years. Let’s get together and elect misers, sour-balls, grouches and tightwads, who have made money for themselves, lived within their incomes; men who wouldn’t lend you a dime without a dollar security and bonus. The remedy is easy; never vote for the good fellows, lodge brothers, smilers, spenders or orators, but for the miserly cuss you dislike because he wouldn’t loan his money or someone else’s money to you or your sister’s husband, or uncle or best friend, without their right arm for security. Care and Education of the Dependent or Orphaned Child of the Soldier The child life of America is the chief and most important asset. ‘The duty of the state and the government to dependent child life is supreme from an economic standpoint were all decent and humane considerations forgotten. To the dependent or orphaned child of a soldier the state and the government owes that duty for special reasons. ‘The soldier has given, shortened or incapacitated his life in service to his country, in defense of its institutions, in preservation of the gov- ernment itself. All material prosperity depends upon this service ren- dered. All material wealth, therefore, is obligated to that service, and if it took it all to compensate, to provide for the care, decent contentment and restoration of the soldier or his dependents, left so by reason of his service, there is no reason why it should not be contributed. Every consideration, religious, economic and patriotic, dictates the necessity of adequate provision for and education of the dependent or orphaned child of the soldier. This care and education should include the manial and profes- sional training of a child for usefulness in life as well as scholastic and religious training. Sesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesesssesesesesesesesesesesese Outgrowth of Mistaken Viewpoint of the Public in Regard to Fire The major part of our waste by burning is really an outgrowth of the mistaken viewpoint of this general public in regard to fire. Too many persons still think that only, the fire insurance companies should worry “when a fire occurs. They do not stop to consider that the institution of insurance is simply a form of protection for which the many contribute to pay the losses of the comparatively few. Few stop to consider the part which the fire waste plays in increas- ing these taxes; that when buildings are destroyed by fire, and not rebuilt, the taxes those properties would have yielded are added, pro rata, to the remaining structures. Neither do they realize that localities whose many fires occur must maintain large fire departments, with increased budgets for men and equipment, water supply, alarm system and other necessary items of defense. The colossal fire waste is endangering our economic future. Conse- quently our people must be taught in the press, in the schools and by public speaking, first, the unnecessary burden imposed by preventable fire, and, second, the way in which to eliminate it.

No doubt this is true. But a weak-kneed policy prevailed at an hour when rigid diplomacy should have been manifest, and a5 a result as barbarous a foe as ever threat- ened civilization Is at this moment triumphant and the lives and lbertles of hundreds of thousands of Christians are in jeopardy. The situation 1s de- plorable indeed, and it Is small wonder that the whole civilized world Is be- ing called upon at this tlme for contributions to a large fund to ald the <trieken ones of Smyrna and its surroundings, Far more deplorable than the awful plight of those “keepers of the faith” within the ancient citadel— Constantinople—is the deplorable fact that in an hour of opulence and pros- perity the Christian nations of the world, without exception, become vain- glorious, selfish and tyrannical. In the present drive to give relief to those tufferers of the Near East our own dear United States, erroneously referred to often as. the most advanced Christian nation on earth, will give generous- ly of her prayers and money. Doubtless there will be a certaln ense of conscience in the knowledge that we are again being called upon to serve in the role of the good samaritan and do what can be done to lighten the horrors of a people at the mercy of fanatics who imagine they are doing God’s work by murdering Innocents who have a different way of worshipping God, There {s an evident smack of hypocrisy about the whole thing, how- ever. The mischief Is; there is now an attempt to lock the barn door at an unseemly hour, Christian nations are seeking to atone in dollars and cunts for what it failed to do by precept and example. ‘The question is asked, “why tolerate or countenance ‘Turkey in Europe at all?” and Christianity Is being called upon for an answer. But there is serlous business on this side of the water also and Christianity 1s again being called upon to give an an- <wer, Why countenance or tolerate lynching, mob violence and the burning of human beings at the stake within the borders of the United States? The Near East has its serious problems, but no more so than the nearer west. In Asian Minor it is the murderous Mohammedan against the helpless Chris- tian, In the United States it is Christian against Christian. ‘There is found hore a lack of social conscience and courage of utterance that tragically marks Christianity'’s departure from the ideals of its founder. Else why cv ceoth the Dyer bill? CHRISTIANITY MUST ANSWER. THE PRESIDENT AND THE BONUS BILL. RESIDENT Harding sums up in a sound and comprehensive manner his: P wSjons for returning to Congress the soldier's bonus bill without ex- ecutive approval, The President's action was freely forecasted by party leaders close to him as it was definitely understood that he held strong ob- jections against any adjusted compensation legislation that did not carry with it a substantial means of raising the revenue. It goes without the say- ing that President Harding's action will blast the hopes of many, but we believe that by far the major portion of our citizens will place the stamp of approval upon his veto message as a step founded upon a sound govern- mental policy. He says with emphasis what every patriotic American citizen must feel in his heart, i.e. “That the United States never will cease to be grateful; it cannot and never will cease giving expression to that gratitude.” Qf those injured, disabled or diseased during the great world war he says: “Tt is not to be denied that the nation has certain very binding obliga- tions to those of its defenders whom made real sacrifices in the world war and who left the armies injured, disabled or diseased so that they could not resume their places In the normal activities of life. These obligations are being gladly and generously met. Perhaps there are here and there ineffi- clencies and injustices and some distressing instances of neglect, but they are all unintentional and every effort is being directed to thelr earliest pos- sible correction. No Complaint As to Cost. “In meeting this obligation there {s no complaint about the heavy cost. In the current fiscal year we are expending $510,000,000 on hospitalization and care of sick and wounded on compensation and vocational training for the disabled and for insurance. The figures do not Include the more than $35,000,000 in process of expenditure on hospital construction.” ‘Phese are sentiments that certainly will be applauded by all right think- ing cltizens, for while a deep conyiction abides in every heart that the na- tion owes debt of gratitude to defenders living and defenders dead that can never be fully repaid, it is a mandatory requirement to look first of all after those who are incapacitated for useful employment by the sacrifice of health or loss of limbs. The President deajs at length upon the nations in- ability to meet the heavy financial drainage upon the treasury by the en- actment of this bill, From the first, both he and Congress have been far apart as to the best means of raising the needed revenue, He is not willing, as the executlye head of this nation, to further impair the public credit by a compensation bestowed upon 5,000,000 people, to meet which a heavy bur- den must be placed upon 110,000,000, And in this he is right. The world is still groaning under the heavy cost of the war. There is an insistent ery arising from every quarter for rigid economy in public expenditures. And while it would be parsimonious, economy for this rich nation to definitely withhold from its brave defenders any bestowal of gratitude, no matter how rich, It is plain, following the President's reasoning, that the means sug- gested in the bill Just passed are wholly Inadequate, It would be an unfor- tunate error on the part of any President, and certainly a disastrous blunder on the part of any political party, to assume a blunt attitude that in the ag- gregate meant a denial to our soldier boys the fullest meed of compensa- tion. American sentiment and Justice could not and would not countenance it. We must as surely meet our obligations to the brave boys who gave added glory and honor to our country's flag, as that we met the enemy on foreign land, Let no one despair. A bonus bill worthy of our traditions and worthy of our gratitude will be forthcoming. Just now, however, President Harding takes the high ground that “The pressing problem of the govern- ment is that of diminishing our burdens, rather than adding thereto. It is the problem of the world. War inflations and war expenditures have un- balahced budgets and added to indebtedness until the whole world 1s stag- gering under the load. We have been driving In every direction to curtail our expenditures and establish economies without impairing the essentials of governmental activities. It has been a difficult and unpopular task. It is vastly more applauded to expend than to deny. “After nearly a year and a quarter of insistence and persuasion with a concerted drive to reduce government expenditure In every quarter possible, it would wipe out everything thus far accomplished to add now this pro- posed burden and it would render the commitment of economy and saving so essential to our future welfare."

Secures Release of Innocent Man N. A. A. C. P. Secures Release of Innocent Man After more than a year of seeking information and investigating the murder of a Mrs. Weber, whose body was found in Maryland, Joseph Keller, a colored man, charged with the commission of the crime, was on Friday, Sept. 8, 1922, released from the custody of the Maryland authorities, the evidence thus far found not warranting his detention longer. Credit is due to the Prince George County Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., as well as to the co-operation of the District of Columbia Branch, for the favorable outcome of this celebrated case. From the time of the arrest the Prince George County Branch used every means to keep in touch with the case as it progressed, while the Washington Branch during his inocceration in the District of Columbia, observed closely the third degree process as it was used to force a confession from Keller and instituted steps, when extradition proceedings were begun, to have him released. When this failed, and he was carried to Upper Marl- Expansion Depends Upon Earnings THE telephone system must keep ahead of the needs of its community. That costs money. The expenditures for expansion, however, do not come from earnings, but from new money which is constantly being invested in the securities of the company. A reasonable dividend must be paid on this investment exactly the same as reasonable wages must be paid to employees. If earnings are too low there will be no dividends and therefore no new investments and no extensions and no important betterments. Remember that a company which is not prosperous cannot render good service nor extend its system to meet the demands of growing communities. The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Co. boro, Md., the District of Columbia Branch, advised by the Prince George County Branch, was instrumental in interesting the State's Attorney, Mr. Kline. From information furnished by the Chairman of the Legal Committee, Mr. James A. Cobb, Mr. Kline took up the matter. On invitation of the State's Attorney, Mr. Cobb appeared at the first hearing in May, reviewed the evidence with the State's Attorney's office and was called in consultation when final reports were made by Maryland detectives and was successful in convincing them that evidence was lacking to further hold Keller. In the last conference with Justice of Peace J. A. Joyce and the State's Attorney, Mr. Cobb, was advised of the discharge of the prisoner and was asked to give assurances that when Keller was discharged he would not become a charge upon the state. Mr. Cobb assented to the proposition. Funds were furnished by the District of Columbia Branch for the transportation of Keller to his home in Summerville, S. C. Accompanied by Mr. Shelby J. Davidson, Executive Secretary of the District of Columbia Branch, and Mr. J. A. G. LuValle of the Washington Tribune, Mr. Cobb appeared at the court house located at Mt. Runier, Md., and after formalities attending the release, received Keller in the name of the N. A. A. C. P. At the adjournment of court, accompanied by the sheriff and his deputy on either side of the car, Keller was brought into the District of Columbia and sent home the following morning with his brother, who had been summoned for that purpose.

A clever traveling man studies his customer and you can't blame him for regarding a stubborn man as a puzzle to be worked out as well as a human being. Tongue of the river The tongue of the frog is fixed to the floor of its mouth, near the lip; when not in use, the tongue lies back, pointing down the throat. The frog is very adept in the use of his tongue. Duration of Thunder The chief factor in the prolongation of a peal of thunder is the difference of time required for the sound to travel to the observer from different points along the path of discharge, which may be a mile, or perhaps several miles, in length. Under some conditions reflections of the sound from clouds, hills, etc., further prolongs the peal. Our Clerics. Little by little the jokesmith's stock in trade is being depleted through scientific discovery. An English professor now declares that people get sleepy during the sermon because they hypnotize themselves gazing fixedly at the preacher. It is not because they are inattentive, but because they are too attentive. Therefore, jokes on the subject are not knocks for the parson, but boosts. Dogs Trained to Hunt Truffles The truffle is an edible fungus growth found in certain parts of Europe, growing a few inches underground, and is considered a delicacy for the table. Dogs are often trained to find them. They learn to detect the presence of the truffle under the surface of the soil by a faint odor given out by the truffle. The dog, when over the spot, stops and pats the ground with his paw. Then the man digs up the truffle. Effect of High Altitudes At a high altitude the atmospheric pressure is much less than at sea level. This decrease in pressure produces a lowering of the temperature at which water boils. Since water can be boiled at a lower temperature, an egg can be cooked more quickly at sea level, provided the temperature is sufficiently high to cook the egg. At a height of 18,000 feet, water cannot be heated in open vessels above 180 degrees Fahrenheit, and this is not hot enough to set the white of an egg. WASHINGTON SIDELIGHTS Britain's War Debt to the United States Colored Canvas Now the Proper Caper Court by Mail and Repent at Leisure Importance of Thrift by the People Gt Britain 4,135,000,000 WASHINGTON.—Funding of the $4,135,000,000 war debt owed by Great Britain to the United States is declared by Secretary Mellon to have no relation to the war loans made by the United States and Great Britain to other governments or to questions arising in connection with reparations payments of the former central powers. The treasury secretary made his declaration in a formal statement, issued, he said, on account of numerous inquiries reaching the treasury as to the exact status of the obligations of the various European governments held by the United States with respect to the British debt. Reports have been published and statements made in some quarters, Mr. Mellon said, that the British liability was not incurred for the British gov- THOSE who use heavy canvas covers to protect their crops, machinery and materials against the weather can almost double the life of the fabric if they treat it to afford protection against light as well as moisture and mildew, the Department of Agriculture declares in a recent circular. After a series of experiments with canvas in which waterproofing mixtures were made with the addition of earth pigments, such as are used in paints, the experimenters arrived at the conclusion that keeping out the light from the inner fibers affords considerable protection to the fabric. Since several pigments are suitable, there is more or less freedom of choice as to color, the statement continues. For a buff or khaki color, yellow ochre can be used. For a darker buff or light brown, raw sienna is good; for dark red or reddish brown, burnt sienna; for olive brown, raw umber, and for dark brown, burnt umber is added to the mixture. The usual formulas for waterproofing canvas may be used with the addition of the earth pigment, using one pound, either dry or ground, in linseed THE Post Office department disclaims all responsibility for the permanency of marriages effected through matrimonial advertisements in newspapers and through mail courtships. Solicitor Edwards of the legal division of the Post Office department is daily besieged with letters from deserted brides, distraught and frantic in their short-lived marriages, asking for governmental assistance in locating runaway husbands and pleading for aid in prosecuting them. In some instances these wives blame the postal service for their marital woes, demanding redress and insisting that as they were wooed entirely through the mails the department is directly responsible. IN A letter to the American Banker, secretary of the Treasury Mellon explains the policy of the government in the sale of treasury savings certificates. The letter answers the appeal of the Kansas State Bankers' association requesting that the federal government stop the sale of these certificates because the practice is detrimental to the agricultural interests of that state. The letter states that the government has no intention in its savings campaign of entering into competition with existing banking agencies and that the interests of the treasury and of the banks are not at all in conflict in the promotion of savings among the people. Secretary Mellon says that he would welcome greater co-operation from the banks of the country in the sale of treasury savings certificates to investors. The letter says in part: "Among the early debt maturities are more than six hundred million dollars in war savings stamps, which mature on January 1, 1923. The purpose of the new issue of treasury savings certificates is to aid the government to finance these obligations and also to stimulate savings activities generally. If the habit of thrift ermment, but for the other allies, and that the United States, in making the original arrangements, had insisted, in substance, that, though the other allies were to use the money borrowed, it was only on British security the United States was prepared to lend it. "In answer to these inquiries," Mr. Mellon stated, "it should be said the obligations of foreign governments in question had their origin almost entirely in purchases made in the United States, and the advances made by the United States government were for the purpose of covering payments for these purchases by the allies. "The statement that the United States government virtually insisted on a guarantee by the British government of amounts advanced to the other allies is evidently based on a misprehension. Instead of insisting on a guarantee or any transaction of that nature, the United States government took the position that it would make advances to each government to cover the purchases made by that government and would not require any government to give obligations for advances made to cover the purchase of any other government. Thus, the advances to the British government, evidenced by its obligations, were made to cover its own purchases." oil, to each gallon of the prepared solution. The department experts have also found that a solution of dark or yellow petroleum (vaseline), beeswax, gasoline and kerosene with the desired pigment makes a good waterproofing and lightproofing mixture. Another recipe just as good is the same as the first, substituting asphalt (petroleum or bermudez) for the beeswax. For canvas that remains in a fixed position, such as permanent wagon covers, the circular adds, boiled linseed oil containing one pound of the desired pigment to each gallon may be used. A typical excerpt from one of the many letters reads: "I want to know if I can start suit against my husband. We married through a correspondent club advertised in the newspapers, and he sent me money by a post office money order to come and marry him. He also courteed me by mail. After the wedding he failed to support and take care of me, and finally left me altogether. I want to know if I can do anything through the Post Office department, as our business, such as arranging for the marriage details, was transacted entirely by mail." In replying to the deserted wives Solicitor Edwards points out that the Post Office department deals only with the collection, dispatch and distribution of the mails and has no control over the persuasive language written in sealed envelopes by unscrupulous lovers seeking matrimonial alliances. Of course a censorship of letters by the Post Office department would be a blow at the bulwarks of our liberty. Imagine a cynical post office official reading our letters to our best girls! And yet—just think how many fool letters would be suppressed and the work of the breach of promise courts lessened! IS HE RIGHT? and saving can be instilled in the minds of the people and if a small portion of the many millions of dollars annually lost through fraud and speculation can be diverted into legitimate channels a great good will have been accomplished, and the farmer, the laborer, all classes of industry and the bankers themselves will be benefited." Secretary Mellon adds that far from being injured by this system, banking and savings institutions will reap perhaps the most tangible rewards, for no man can save and invest for long without opening a personal bank account. Those are some of the reasons why many banks throughout the country, including savings banks, are cooperating with the government in the sale of these savings securities. WILL NOT TAKE PART IN PARLEY U. S. DOES NOT DESIRE PART IN TURK PEACE CONFERENCE. GREEKS ASK U. S. AID GREEKS APPEAL FOR HELP IN CARING FOR CHRISTIAN REFUGEES. Washington.—Suggestions in press dispatches that Great Britain would welcome the presence of the United States in the forthcoming conference on the problems of the Dardanelles, brought the statement from Washington administration officials that possible American participation is being given no consideration in Washington. Since the United States, without having been consulted, was manned in the treaty of Sevres as one of the nations to share in an international administration of the Dardanelles, suggestions for American participation in the proposed peace conference with the Angola government are not unexpected. It was emphasized, however, that whatever interest the United States may have in the ultimate disposition of the problem is confined to the necessity that free passage for American ships through these waters be assured. Thus far, no official suggestion that this government participate in the conference has reached Washington. Rear Admiral Bristol at Constantinople reported that his efforts to arrive at a joint plan of relief for all refugees at Smyrna with the British, Italian and French high commissioners had been delayed, as the French commissioner was absent in Smyrna, and neither the British nor the Italian commissioners had received instructions on the point. The American admiral said destroyers under his command were assisting in evacuation work in Smyrna in every possible way, and that an additional destroyer had been ordered to that port. The American relief committee at Constantinople, Admiral Bristol said, had decided to continue its emergency work in Smyrna and to send a relief unit to Rodisto, where 50,000 refugees had been collected. Armenian and Greek officials at Constantinople, Admiral Bristol said, had been asked to send ships to transport refugees from Smyrna and as Greek ships had been denied admission to the port by the Turkish Nationalist authorities there, it was planned that they take on refugees at Miteylene or other nearby islands, where they would be brought from Smyrna on destroyers. The question of possible utilization of shipping board or other vessels also is being considered by the American relief committee. The Greek Red Cross has cabled the American Red Cross, appealing for assistance in its attempt to care for assistance in its attempt to care for Christian refugees who have fled to Greece from Asia Minor. Latest reports from Maj. C. Claflin Davis, in charge of American Red Cross relief operations at Smyrna, indicate that repatriation of refugees to their homes in Asia Minor is impossible at this time and that the only solution of the problem is to move them to Europe, naturally to Greece. Missing Junker Arrives at Victoria. Victoria, B. C.—After being tossed about by the giant waves on the Pacific, their rudder carried away twice during typhoons, Capt. George W. A. Waard and his wife arrived here with the Chinese junk Amoy, ninety-one days out from Shanghai. Pretty Co-ed Loses Court Fight. Detroit.—Miss Alice Tanton, pretty, bobbed-haired co-ed, who was expelled from Ypsilanti Normal College, along with nineteen other normal students, for alleged "social indiscretions," will carry her fight for reinstatement to the Supreme Court, her attorneys intimated, after reading a decision handed down by Judge George Sample, Wastenaw county, denying her a writ of mandamus, compelling the college authorities to show cause why she should not be reinstated. The Detroit girl was the only student to start legal action against the college. Ford Plants Reopen. Detroit.—Henry Ford's industrial strike has ended. His great automobile plants in the Detroit district, employing upwards of 70,000 men, which were closed for an indefinite period as the manufacturer's protest against what he termed "excessive coal prices," again are the scenes of industrial activity. Edsel Ford made arrangements to obtain coal during a long conference in Cincinnati with fifty mine operators. American Held for Ransom. Oklahoma City.—John C. Cheney, an American oil man, is being held captive by Mexican bandits, who are demanding $5,000 for his release, according to a special dispatch from Tampico, Mexico, received by the Daily Oklahomaman here. Cheney, general field superintendent of the International Petroleum Company (Mexican Seaboard) was captured at Agua Nacida, Sept. 10, while on a trip of inspection covering drilling operations, the dispatch says. ENTOMBED MEN KILLED BY GAS TRAPPED MEN MET DEATH WITH IN FIVE HOURS AFTER FIRE 47 MINERS ARE DEAD ARGONAUT VICTIMS DIED AFTER HEROIC FIGHT FOR LIFE Jackson, Calif.—All forty-seven miners, entombed in the Argonaut mine Aug. 27, are dead. A note found on one of the bodies indicated that all the men had died within five hours of the beginning of the fire. Aug. 27, officials said. All the miners were found behind the second of two bulkheads they had built in a crosscut, 4,350 feet down in the Argonaut mine. Byron O. Pickard, chief of the federal bureau of mines for this district, was the first man to go behind the bulkhead and discover the bodies. The note which was found read: "3 a. m. gas bad." The same note bore a scrawled figure "4," apparently indicating the same man had attempted to leave a word of the condition of the mine at that hour for those who might come after. Mine officials declared that the condition of the crosscut behind the bulkhead was such that life could not have been sustained there by the entombed men for more than five hours. The bodies were found piled one on top of another and decomposition had progressed so far that identification would be impossible. Pickard reported. The officials declared the mute evidence of the men's struggles showed they were forty-seven of the most cool-headed men imaginable. Sixteen of the entrapped miners removed their clothes to provide material for stuffing the cracks in the wooden barrier, hastily constructed, which was found only this evening. The barrier was built of earth, rock and debris. However, the gas and fumes from the fire apparently seeped through the first bulkhead and the men fled the site where they were building the second to start a third, farther on. This third attempt to wall off the death-dealing gas was made at the end of the 4,350-foot crosscut in the Argonaut, but the fact that only a bare start was made at it proved, the mine officials said, that the deadly carbon monoxide and the suffocating carbon dioxide had reached it and performed their fatal office before the forty-seven unfortunates could raise even an excuse for a barrier. Mine officials said that death had come to the entombed men painlessly. The gases, they said, would produce first a lethargy, then a coma and finally death. After the discovery of the fire, Aug. 27, government and state mining experts joined with mine officials in forming an official rescue committee and it was decided to cut through to the Argonaut from the adjoining Kennedy mine by means of two abandoned tunnels which were closed up in a fire in the Argonaut two years ago. These constituted extensions of the 3,600 and 3,900-foot levels of the Kennedy. Their progress at times was fairly rapid, at others handicapped by loose and sticky muck. Jackson Takes Tragedy in Silence. Jackson, Calif.—Jackson took its greatest tragedy in silence. After the first hasty news that forty-seven men had been found dead in the Argonaut mine, crowds flowed from homes, stores and hotels. Relatives of some of the dead could be seen walking slowly, calmly, to the telegraph office to send word to other relatives in distant cities that there no longer was any hope. Jackson's long period of bitter anxiety, desperate struggle and suspense was over. British Plan to Prevent War. London.—The declaration that Great Britain does not intend to engage in any new war, obtained from authoritative sources, coupled with other statements of a modified policy, is taken to mean that the series of cabinet meetings and ministerial conferences in the last few days has been partly in preparation for possible attacks on the British forces by the Kemalists and partly as a plain preparation for the contemplated general conference for the settlement of the Turkish question. Unions Win Injunction Tilt. Chicago.—More than one-third—in volume of the government's evidence in its injunction suit against the striking railway shopcrafts was ruled out when Judge James H. Wilkerson upheld the contention of the defense that 283 affidavits recounting violence at the hands of supposed strikers failed to show the persons making them knew they were to be used in court. The strike leaders thus disposed of a large part of the slightly less than 700 affidavits. --- THE COLORADO STATESMAN JUN the Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and gress; a faithful mirror their wants, their hopes, r best aspiration.

USE OF MORE MILK FAVORED Plan to Alleviate Such Common All- ments as Headaches, Constipation, Irritability, Ete——Some Su- perior Recipes. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) A successful campaign for better nourishment of adults as well as chil- dren is being conducted in Connecti- cut, which the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture believes could well be extended to other states, ‘The purpose of the campaign is to induce people to udd more milk and fibrous material to the diet, with the result that such ailments as headaches, con- stipation, nervous irritability, and other disorders, due to faulty food habits may become less common. ‘The recipes on this page are being used to introduce these much-needed food substances into the bill of fare of many families. Cabbage, which ts made up largely of fibrous material, is inexpensive and available to both rural and elty dwell- ers. Both milk and the vegetables recommended in these recipes supply the vitamins essential to good health. Cream Soups.

Buy Only Tender Meat for Broiling o Roasting—Tough Pieces Are Use- ful for Stews, Soups, Etc.— Two Recipes. (Prepared by the United States Department of” Agriculture.) ‘Two general rules may be laid down for the selection of beef, says the United States Department of Agrl- culture. First: Buy, only the tender cuts when meat is to be prepared by such methods as broiling or roasting: Second: Buy the less tender cuts it all cases for stews, botled or braised meat, pot roasts, Hamburg steak, meat loaves, and soups. It should be re membered that tender cuts of meat are best not overcooked, also that plenty of time must be allowed for the cooking of the less tender cuts. One exception to this Inst may be made in the case of ground meat, Finely ground beef may be formed Into cakes or into a large roll and these broiled or roasted and served rare Just as in the case of tender meat. The tough tall of a porterhouse steak, so often discarded, may be re moved and trimmed, put through the grinder, made into cakes, and these broiled and served along with the tender part of the steak. The tender cuts of beef are the rib roasts, elub, porterhouse, and sirloin steaks. ‘The rump and the flank steak also are tender if cut from a prime carcass. All these cuts are best prepared by browning the surface with high heat, then reducing the heat to avoid over- cooking the outside. Allow 8 to 20 Grinding Beef for Making Cakes. minutes for a steak, and 15 to 30 min- utes for each pound of roast, depend- ing on the thickness of the steak, the size and shape of the roast and whether the meat is preferved rare, medium, or well done. | Soup. "Tn case a large quantity of soup ts needed, it is well to buy freshly trimmed bones. such as the hind shank or hock, the lower fore shank, or any other fresh bone trimmings, but for the average small family it is more satisfactory as well as economical to select cuts having considerable meat along with the bone. The neck, fore shank, shoulder clod, tal, and the lower cuts of the hind shgnk are all good. If these are well seasoned, put to cook In hot water and allowed to simmer slowly until the meat Is ten- der, the stock will be found to be sufliciently strong for soup and the meat itself will be usable in many. ways, such as stew, jellied meat, cro- quettes, and meat pie. Swiss Steak. ‘Any lean beef cut two inches thick ean be prepared as Swiss steak. Sea- son on both sides and pound flour into it until the surface is well coated. Brown well in hot suet. Add hot water to about half cover the meat Cook very slowly in a covered skillet until the meat Is tender enough to be cut with a fork. This will require from two to three hours, according to the toughness of the meat. It may be necessary to add a little water during the cooking, but there should be no liquid in the pan when the steat is finished. Homemade Furniture Polish. Many requests have recently come to the office of home economies of the United States Department of Agricul- ture for a recipe for a good homemade furniture polish. ‘The following formu la, which is an old, well-tried recipe, gives good results: 1 pint linseed oll or 1 pint turpentine, vegetable drying oll, 1 cup vinegar.

Bath Pretty Things that are made at Home NOW the days grow shorter and longer evenings provide leisure that most women like to spend making pretty things. One cannot be always reading and work for the fingers does not interfere with thinking or with conversations. A little excursion in the fancywork stores and departments is sure to fire one with an ambition to copy some of the delightful bits of furnishings and personal belongings that they are showing. There are new and fascinating cushions, table and dresser scarfs, woven baskets, candle and lamp shades, luncheon sets, winter bouquets and many other things for the house and there is no end to the personal belongings that will interest the needlewoman. Above is a group of two bags and a card case that are all good examples of work done with small, colored beads. These are worked on canvas foundations, printed in colors with the design to be covered with colored beads. At the top a card case is worked with beads in two colors to form stripes—as black and white, black and steel, blue and green. At THE FASHION WEEKLY 1920 Two Pretty Afternoon Frocks each corner a dalys with dark center and light petals introduces a telling finishing touch. Below a' the left, an amusing little bag in black and steel beads, simulates a cat's head and at the bottom a bag in a solid color makes a background for water lilies on one side of it and stripes on the handle. Every housewife will appreciate a waterproof apron like that one shown at the right of the picture above. It is made of rubberized cloth, which may be had in several colors and patterns, and is bound with white tape, which also provides its ties and support for the bib. A cluster of fruit cut from rubberized cloth, is tacked to the apron at one corner, and discarded bathing caps in red, green or other high colors might be used for making these fruit clusters. Rubberized cloth is made in gingham checks and cross bars in all the usual colors, and on these patterns the fruit is not used. Cross-barred organdle or net with narrow laces, lend themselves easily to the making of fashionable neck wear. The all-white cross-barred organdle is liked for sets consisting of collar and cuffs, or collar, chemisette and cuffs, and cross-stitch or other embroidery in colored floss makes delightful decorations for it. The pieces are finished with narrow hems and these are hemsstitched, giving them a decorative value also. Single collars of fine net are edged with narrow filet or val lace, and either embroidered or decorated with small squares, triangles or medallions of filet lace set in at the corners. There are some members of the younger set who balk at the longer skirt and, occasionally, a willful maid puts her foot down—considerably more than six inches below the hem of her garment, which the arbiters of fashion allow. We are forced to concede that the shorter skirt is more youthful and a little more convenient than its successor, which has got down to within four inches of the floor. Accommodating manufacturers of dresses leave them with hems only basted in; thus they throw the responsibility for the short skirt upon the individual. Fashion does not countenance it. In the illustration herewith two afternoon frocks, in all but their length, have accepted the dictates of the mode in a graceful manner. The dress at the left, of canton crepe, is very handsomely embroidered with small beads. It is open at the front from the low neckline to the hem, revealing a satin slip worn under it. An uneven hemline is trimmed into points, making it longer than the slip at the side and shorter at the front and back. The neck is embroidered by a bead em- 1 broidery and the satin slip forms plain chemisette at the front where a sequence of five buttons, that correspond with the bead trimming, fasten under the loops of crepe. The sleeves are long, with a slight, pointed flare and the girdle is made of the crepe slipped through handsome metal slides. The model is dignified and with a longer skirt would be well suited to older women. The pretty frock at the right might be developed either in lightweight wool or silk crepe fabrics. It is distinguished by panels at the sides, each having three tucks at the hipline, and gathered in at the waistline. Little silver buttons outline the panels below the tucks and finish the short sleeves. The bodice is a surplice model, fastening to one side, the overlapping side edged with little buttons. It is cut long enough to serve as a girdle. Julia Bottomley It is coming back in favor—alpaca, the fabric that many of us rejoiced in some years ago, its hard-finished, shiny surface was so clean and dust-shedding, though rather scratchy to the arms and neck. In its appearance a coat and dress of blue alpaca have green silk embroidery and pipings of white organdle, not a bit like the old demure affair that the alpaca coat and skirt suit once was. 1000 WANT to place in each of the fifteen those in Denver, a copy of Scott's Official Book, American Negro World.

FAIRBANKS CAFE First Class 2444 Washin First Class Meals Served 2444 Washington St., Denver, Colo. Life pays big dividends to those who hear and obey the immemorial and immutable commandments of the Master of life. The broken man of forty is a misfit. His sins of omission and commission have found him out. He goes to the rubbish heap. But men like our octogenarian disciples of work, having earned the right to live, go on through the years confident and serene, relizing that life is worth while. They make it worth while for themselves and for multitudes of their fellow men.—Cincinnati Enquirer. ```markdown ``` --- C. V. FAIRBANKS HOME COOKING The pictures in a home are apt to suffer from the lack of attention which in time detracts from their appearance. Oil paintings should be lightly cleaned once a year, being wiped gently with a very fine sponge or chamois leather wet with clear water. Do not use soap or any other cleansing substance in the water. Immediately after sponging polish the surface lightly with a dry silk handkerchief. Gilt frames should be dusted frequently. A camel's hair paintbrush is effective for this. Fly marks can be removed by the use of a little white of egg. N. FAIRBANKS
