THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY SIKI, SENEGALESE BOXER, KNOCKS OUT CARPENTIER, FRENCH PUGILISTIC IDOL NEGRO BOXER SHOWS MARVELOUS SKILL IN THE FISTIC ART. VOL. XXVIII. SIKI, SENEGALESE OUT CARPENT PUGILIST NEGRO BOXER SKILL IN THE PARIS, Sept. 24.—Georges Carpentier, the heavyweight champion of Europe and Idol of France, was defeated today by Battling Siki, the Senegalese fighter, in the sixth round of what was to have been a twenty-round bout. Carpentier never had a chance after the third round. He was barely able to respond to the bell at the beginning of the sixth. With his right eye completely closed and his nose broken, he was unable to put up a guard. In the sixth the Negro fighter planted a series of terrific rights to Carpentier's head, and the French idol sank to the floor. One of his legs caught between the legs of the Senegalese as he fell. The crowd, the largest that ever witnessed a boxing contest in France, sensed the end. All was uproar. The referee, Harry Bernstein, at first ruled that Skii had been disqualified for "tripping" but the throng, which considered that Carpentier had been beaten squarely by a better man, received the decision with a great chorus of boots and jeers and even threatened the referee body harm. The three judges of the fight, Victor Breyer, Jean Pujol, Frenchmen, and Mr. Dennison of London, went into consultation. An hour later they declared the Negro a winner. One million francs is what Battling Skii, the conqueror of Georges Carpentier, asks to go to America to fight Harry Wills at the Polo grounds on Oct. 26. Manager Hellers cabled Tom O'Rourke, the American fight promoter, this evening in response to an offer of $20,000. Hellers said that he considered O'Rourke's offer totally inadequate. He added that he had received an offer of a large sum for Skii to meet the winner of the Joe Beckett-Frank Moran fight in England on "Boxing day," the day after Christmas. Beckett and Moran will fight Oct. 12. The manager of the Senegalese said he did not desire to go to the United States unless the financial inducements made it worth while. Siki himself at first was disinclined to make the trip to the United States, but later said he would do so if Hellers' terms were accepted. It is the opinion of Hellers that it would be a good thing for Siki to meet Wills immediately, as he considers Wills the only man standing in the way of a bout between Siki and Jack Dempsey for the world's championship. The message sent by Hellers to O'Tourke this evening was as follows: "Want 1,100,000 francs net, exclusive of income tax. Am ready to leave immediately and have Siki fight Wills Oct. 26." The extra 100,000 francs above the million mark, Hellers explained, was for the expenses of the trip to the United States and for training expenditures. Siki was accorded a tremendous ovation in the sporting center of Paris this evening when he arrived by automobile at the office of the Echo des Sports, one of the formost French sporting papers. There were such crowds in the streets that traffic was stopped for more than an hour. The fighter modestly acknowledged the ovations. "I am through with absinthe from now on," Siki said to the Associated Press. "I am champion now, and I must behave like a champion." He refused to partake of a glass of champagne which was offered him during a toast to his victory. Meanwhile Georges Carpentier is lying ill and badly battered at his home. He is not yet aware that he lost his laurels to the man from Senegal. He still is under the impression that the Negro was disqualified. This morning Georges asked to see the newspapers. Those at the bedside, however, told him the doctor's instructions were that he must have absolute rest and that he must not read, owing to the condition of his damaged eye. He has not been told that the State Hist & Nut Hist Society State House THE ONLY RELIABLE COLOR BOXER, KNOCKS TIER, FRENCH STIC IDOL HOWS MARVELOUS C FISTIC ART. judges reversed the decision of the referee awarding him the bout on a foul and still believes himself the light heavyweight champion of the world. Regret is expressed on all sides over the downfall of Carpentier, but no attempt is made by the sporting newspapers to hide their satisfaction over the discomfiture of Francois Descamps, Carpentier's manager. The Carpentier-Ski bout has crowded virtually everything else off the front pages of the Paris newspapers and has obscured the Turco-Greek conflict in public interest. Both last night and today business generally was slowed down by the absorbed discussion of the event everywhere. The fight film was shown to the press this afternoon. In it the left leg of Ski was distinctly seen to rise behind the left knee of Carpentier who began then to fall, but observers found it impossible to decide whether it was real trip-up or merely the leg of the Negro fighter passing between the white man's leks. The film, however, makes it evident that Ski had no need to trip Carpentier, who at the moment seemed to be seeking his opponent in order to support himself, being patently a finished man. White Patrons of Colored Theater in "Buzzard" Roost White Patrons of Colored Theater in "Buzzard" Roost Belmont Is "Key" House to M. & P. Circuit. Pensacola, Fla., Sept. 6.—A new thing in Jim Crowism is being rurnished at E. L. Cummings' Belmont theater here, in that the segregated section of the theater which custom has set aside for colored people in the South, is being occupied by white patrons, the "Buzzard Roost" being the only part of the theater where the white people are allowed to sit. The psychology of the Southern white man who loves Negro vaudeville is being worked on. It is a well known fact that the Southern whites generally enjoy a colored show, and the laws of the South say plainly that the races must not mix, even on the way to heaven, so the Belmont's handling of the situation is being watched with a good deal of interest, both by colored and white folk. The Belmont as "key" house of the new Managers and Performers' Circuit began its new departure in handling the Jim Crow question on Aug. 1. If Jim Crowling white people proves profitable at the Belmont it will mean the financial salvation of a number of colored houses which have heretofore been able to play to colored patronage only on account of the laws of the states where they are doing business. Inasmuch as the Jim Crow laws have always operated to the disadvantage of colored people in establishments or on cars owned by white people, the manager of the Belmont is simply carrying out the custom. As the "key" theater of the circuit is owned by colored people, the race which does not own it will have to accept such service as it can get. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30 1922 Senator Townsend's Nomination due to N. A. A. C. P., Says Michigan Chairman The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, through its Director of Branches, Robert W. Bagnall, announces the receipt of a letter from the Chairman of the Colored Citizens' Division of the Townsend-for-Senator Club of Michigan, crediting the association with a great share in the nomination of Senator Townsend. It will be remembered that Senator Townsend came out in support of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill while his principal opponent, Congressman Patrick H. Kelley, voted against the bill in the House of Representatives. The N. A. A. C. P. wrote to all of its Michigan branches urging them to organize to support Townsend and defend Kelley, and followed up vigorously its initial request for organization. The branches at once vigorously entered the campaign and joined with the splendid organization of citizens to work for Townsend's nomination. Mr. Baker states, "It was the letters and messages from the New York office to your branches in Michigan that made united action possible. Your office deserves much credit, and I want you to know how much I appreciate it." The letter follows: "Bay City, Mich., Sept. 14, 1922. "Mr. Walter F. White, Assistant Secretary, New York, N. Y. "My dear Mr. White: "The campaign for the nomination of United States senator is over and Senator Townsend has won a fine victory. . . . That man Baker nearly won; he was second, Kelley third and Emery fourth. No small share of the credit for his victory should go to our group. . . . For once we were united; all of the three race papers in Michigan were for Townsend and there was publicity he had amongst our group that he could not possibly have had were it not for his support of the Dyer bill. Take away the united support he secured from our group throughout the state and transfer it to Mr. Herbert Baker, state senator from Cheboygan, Mich., who ran second, and Baker would have been the nominee. "I want to take this early opportunity of thanking you, and through you Mr. Johnson and the other members of your office force, for your valuable aid. It was the letters and messages from, the New York office to your various branches in Michigan that made united action possible. Your office deserves much credit and I want you to know how much I appreciate it. "Yours truly, (Signed) OSCAR W. BAKER, "Chairman Colored Citizens Division of State Committee." Chicago, Sept. 22.—Anthony Overton is the first Negro in this country to sign his name to a banknote as the executive officer of a national bank. Mr. Overton is president of the Douglas National Bank, the first national bank among Negroes. The new currency is in $5 and $10 denominations. Douglas National Bank was opened July 1 and has received a 99-year charter under the act of 1922. Negroes Move Into White Tenements New York, Sept. 17.—Bricks, razors, knives, clubs and fists were the weapons that sent six victims to hospitals and a score of others, less seriously injured, to physicians for treatment early today as a result of a race riot between the whites and Negroes that grew out of the invasion by Negroes of a neighborhood tenanted by white families. Police reserves quelled the battle. Three of the six seriously injured are under arrest and under police guard in hospitals. They are white men, all charged with felonious assault. They are suffering from razor cuts, stab wounds and broken heads. A Negro man and two Negro women also are in hospitals, but have not been arrested. The battle occurred on W. Fifty-ninth street, in the upper West Side, where, the police say, trouble has been brewing for some months, following invasion of the neighborhood by the Negroes. Early today, a party of white men is alleged to have invaded a hall where a celebration of Negroes was in progress. They were ejected badly beaten, the police say, and later they dragged two Negro women and their male escort from a taxicab and set upon them. This is said to have precipitated a general battle, whites and Negroes flocking to the melee from all directions. Razors, knives and clubs augmented fists, while adherents of both factions stood on nearby tenement roofs, and hurled into the swirling mass bricks torn from chimneys. Riot calls brought several squadrons of police, whorushed the two factions into an enforced peace. Extra police tonight are patrolling the neighborhood to prevent a resumption of hostilities. Select Ground For New School Near Baltimore Select Ground For New School Near Baltimore Cardinal Gibbons Institute to Cost Catholic Church Over $500,000. Baltimore, Md., Sept. 22.—Selection of a 200-acre farm on Smiths creek, near Ridge, St. Mary's county, Maryland, as a site for Cardinal Gibbons Institute—which is to be a boarding and day school for race boys—was announced recently by the board of trustees through its vice president, Admiral William S. Benson. An architect and a landscape engineer will be employed at once to develop plans for the building and grounds. The institution plantis expected to cost $500,000. Plans for the collection of funds are being made by the finance committee of which Senator David L. Walsh of Massachusetts is chairman. An organizer and principal to take charge of the campaign was authorized at last Monday's meeting of the board of trustees. tees. The officers of the Institute are: President, Archbishop Michael J. Curly, D.D., Baltimore; first vice president, Admiral William S. Benson; second vice president, William S. Aumens; secretary, Arthur C. Monahan; treasurer, Lawrence P. Williams. "It is hoped to make Cardinal Gibons Institute the beginning of a national movement that will have for its aim the betterment of educational facilities for colored youth," said Admiral Benson in discussing the school's plans. COLORED BANKERS NOW AFTER BUSINESS WITH REPUBLIC OF HAITI New York, Sept. 22.—As an immediate result of the project of colored bankers, promoters and other business men financing a diamond expedition to British Guiana, a transportation and trading company has developed. Representative Haitians, upon finding the backers fully responsible and qualified for big business, at once offered alluring inducements and valuable concessions, and a conference between the parties concerned warranted the organization of the OVERSEA NAVIGATION CORPORATION to effect regular service between American and Haitian ports, and the OVERSEA TRADING COMPANY to supply the immense Haitian needs which will grow out of the large American loan of $40,000,000 for the development of the island republic. The new companies will have their offices at 80 Wall Street, New York City. All business will be transacted through the colored banks and each bank has been asked to assist in the underwriting of the project. A small block of stock, however, will be available to the general public. This is practically the first time that colored banks have had an opportunity to depart from the usual real estate and mortgage business and enjoy the huge profits common among white banking institutions engaged in the promotion of international commerce, and the colored bankers have not been slow to take advantage of the situation. That the new companies are being operated by trained business men after the most approved modern business methods, is indicated by the brilliant moves made so far and by the roster of its officials, which includes the names of such widely known and capable men as Charles E. Mitchell, president, and also president of the Mutual Savings and Loan Co., of Charleston, W. Va.; Anthony Crawford, vice-president and managing director, a ship operator and importer and exporter of long experience; Maj. William H. York, secretary, former excommissioner of the Liberian Frontier Forces; Col. James M. Canty, treasurer, and also vice-president of the Mutual Savings and Loan Co. of Charleston; L. Melandez King, attorney, also examiner in chancery, District of Columbia; and. Napoleon J. Francis, 'director, Port au Prince, Haiti. Moton to Address Church Congress In Scotland Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Sept. 27. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute and president of the National Negro Business League, has been invited to attend and to address the Scottish Churches Missionary Congress, which will be in session at St. Andrew's Hall, Glasgow, Scotland, Oct. 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20.

While abroad, Dr. Moton will speak to other bodies, including the Aberdeen University and King's College at Aberdeen. Invitations have also been received from many organizations in London, urging him to visit that city. Dr. Moton's party will probably include Mrs. Moton and Major Allen Washington, of Hampton Institute. Senator Heflin Objects to Printing Record of Race's Progress. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its Secretary, James Weldon Johnson, calls attention to an incident in the Senate, an account of which was published in the Congressional Record of Sept. 13, which shows the hostility of southern senators to the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Senator William M. Calder of New York on the previous Sunday delivered an address in the Nazarene Congregational Church of Brooklyn in which he discussed the development of the Negro race during the past sixty years and urged the passage of the Dyer Bill. When Senator Shortridge of California joined with Senator Calder in asking that the address be printed in the Congressional Record, Senator Heflin of Alabama objected. The incident is noted in the Congressional Record as follows: Mr. Shortridge: Mr. President, my attention has been called to an address delivered by the junior senator from New York (Mr. Calder) at the Nazarene Congregational Church, in Brooklyn, N. Y., on Sunday evening, Sept. 10. In this address the senator from New York discusses the development of the Negro race during the past sixty years, and urges the enactment of the Dyer Anti-lynching Bill. It was my privilege to report that bill out of the Judiciary committee, of which I am a member, and I join with the senator from New York in expressing the hope that that measure will be passed before Congress adjourns this session. The address is thoughtful and contains some very interesting facts bearing upon the progress of the Negro race in our country. I ask unanimous consent that the address may be printed in the Record in eight-point type. Mr. Heflin: Mr. President, for the time being I object, until I can examine the address. The Presiding Officer: The senator from Alabama object. Mr. Shortridge: I shall be very glad to hand a copy of the address to the senator from Alabama and if he then objects to it, it will be his privilege to do so. This attitude of hostility on the part of southern senators necessitates that churches, lodges, clubs and organizations of all sorts, as well as individuals who favor the passage of the Anti-Lynching Bill, should urge their senators to insist upon immediate action on the bill. FOREIGN The British torpedo boat destroyer Speedy sank in the Sea of Marmora as the result of a collision with a Dutch trawler. Ten of the destroyer's crew were drowned and eighty-seven saved. The Speedy sank within seven minutes. Oberammergau, Germany, is said to be considering an offer of $1,000,000 from American movie interests for the motion picture rights of the Passion Play.

The reply of the Turkish Nationalist government to the allied peace note has been completed and comprises acceptance of the conditions laid down at the Paris conference, according to a statement made in Constantinople by Essad Bey, aide de camp to Mustapha Kemal Pasha. The allied conference on the near east has agreed to send a joint note to the Angora government assuring the return of Constantinople to the Turks and demanding the freedom of the straits. It is believed also to offer the restoration of Adrianople and Thrace to Turkey under certain conditions. Grave warning of disaster to come unless Great Britain and France act in concert in the Near East is uttered by Viscount Grey of Falloden, former secretary for foreign affairs. In a letter to the London Times he denounces the British government's attitude regarding the permanent freedom of the Dardanelles as a terrible mistake, "the reply to which has been the withdrawal of the French flag from Chanak." A Reuter dispatch to London from Athens says that Admiral Bristol has informed the Greek government that the United States will undertake to protect with destroyers the removal of the remaining 150,000 refugees at Smyrna if Greece provides the means of transport. The Americans further undertake to provide shelter and sustenance for the refugees, and they fix a limit of one week for their embarkation. The Greek government has gratefully accepted the offer. Japanese military authorities in Tokio are credited with the statement that General Dieterichs, the anti-soviet leader in Vladivostok, and Gen Chang Tso-Lin, the war lord of Manchuria, have been negotiating secretly an agreement under which the arms left by the Japanese in evacuating Siberia will be divided between the Siberian general and the Chinese general, who plan to join in opposing the Soviet forces and those of the Far Eastern republic at Chita.

George H. Sisler of the St. Louis Browns, generally rated as the greatest first baseman in the major leagues, was awarded the American League trophy offered by the club owners as a reward to the player who proved of greatest service to his team during the 1922 championship season. Sisler's name will be the first inscribed on the $100,000 baseball monument to be erected by the American League in East Potomac park, Washington, D.C., and presented to the government as a memorial to the national sport and a hall of fame for perpetuating the memory of its greatest players. The marriage of former Kalser William will occur not with the freely given consent of the entire Hohenzollern family, as reported from Berlin, but despite their bitter opposition and, above all, against the strongly expressed wish of the crown prince, according to information secured from a source very close to the former kalser. An offer of 600,000 francs, about $46,000, to meet Harry Wills, negro heavyweight, and 400,000 francs, about $30,000, to meet Harry Greb, American light heavyweight champion, has been cabled to Battling Siki, Senegalese conqueror of Georges Carpentier, by Thomas O'Rourke, matchmaker of the Republic Athletic Club, in New York City. Holding the railway shopmen's strike a conspiracy in restraint of trade, in interference with interstate commerce and carriage of the mails because "where minds meet together on such a purpose, a conspiracy exists without even a word being spoken," Judge James H.

An army board inquiry is being made to ascertain the cause of the crash of a Martin bombing plane which killed six army men at Mitchel field, near Nineola, N. Y., at the conclusion of the mimic air attack on the land forces at the cantonment. One of the six victims, it was reported unofficially at the field, was a "stowaway." The drastic temporary injunction order asked by Attorney-General Harry M. Daugherty against shopcraft strike leaders was put in force by Judge James H. Wilkerson of Chicago, without any of its effectiveness being modified. Several slight changes in the wording of the original order submitted were made by Judge Wilkerson to clarify its meaning. Survey of the coal situation was said at the White House to have convinced President Harding that although a shortage during the winter is inevitable as a result of the miners' strike, the situation would not be particularly acute. The President and his cabinet had before them at a recent meeting a report from the Geological Survey which showed that effective steps have been taken to prevent a fuel famine. President Harding in a proclamation issued 13 Washington called upon the country to set aside Monday, Oct. 9, as fire prevention day, and to observe it in such a manner as to impress upon the people the "importance of precautionary measures for the avoidance of fires." The entire operating personnel of the railways of the country was called upon by President Harding for a "concentrated drive" for thirty days to provide the transportation facilities necessary to meet the national coal emergency.

CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS. Denver.—The potato crop of the state is of great interest to all growers on account of the very large national crop. On Sept. 1, Colorado potato crop showed a condition of 78 per cent compared with 81 per cent a month ago and 89 per cent a year ago and 80 per cent the ten-year average for Sept. 1. The crop will undoubtedly to the largest ever produced in the state, unless conditions decline unusually during the next sixty days. The state crop is now estimated at 18,135,000 bushels (produced on approximately 150,000 acres), compared to a final estimate of 11,070,000 bushels last year produced upon about 90,000 acres. Moisture has generally been deficient in the non-irrigated potato sections and there has also been some shortage of irrigation water in the north-central portion of the state. Usually about 70 to 75 per cent of the state crop is considered as commercial. Denver.—Due to beneficial showers in many sections of the state and to excellent rains in the northeastern counties and in some western slope districts during August, corn improved about 5 per cent during the month and had a condition of 80 compared with 73 last year and 79 the ten-year average. The condition indicates a crop of 21,792,000 bushels, assuming that the entire corn acreage produces grain. Usually, only about 70 to 80 per cent of the acreage planted is harvested for grain, the remainder being cut for silage, fed in the field or abandoned.

Mr. Mills lapsed into unconsciousness shortly afterward and died at 3 o'clock. He was 52 years old and had lived in Estes Park for thirty-six years. Denver.—Colorado crop prospects were generally maintained or slightly improved during August and reached Sept. 1 with figures much below the ten-year average for this date, with a composite condition figure for all crops of the state equalling 92.9 per cent of the average for the past ten years on this date, 12.7 points below the figure for last year at this time, but an improvement of 2.1 points during August. Boulder.—John J. Callahan, a farmer residing in the South Boulder district, accidentally emptied the contents of a shotgun in his right side. He was working in the field at the time. The shot broke two ribs and lacerated the flesh, but did not penetrate the lungs. No serious results are expected by attending physicians. Colorado Springs—George Washburn is believed to have shot and perhaps fatally wounded Mrs. Laura Vorce and to have killed himself here. The woman ran to a neighbor's house and notified those there of the shooting. The two are said to have had numerous quarrels. Denver—May 13-20 are the dates set for Denver music week for 1923, according to an announcement made by F. H. Talbot, executive secretary to Denver community service. Arrangements have been made through Commissioner J. J. Vick Roy to reserve the city Auditorium on these dates for music week activities. Out-of-town bands and choruses are being communicated with in an endeavor to extend the music week idea throughout Colorado. Trinidad.—Las Animas county, with an area about the size of the whole state of Connecticut, and with prosperity in every square mile, has just recovered from a successful four-day fair. The Trinidad fair grounds were groomed attractively and a new gateway, costing several thousand dollars was erected this year. Ordway.—The first bank to be formed in Colorado in several months was incorporated and chartered by Secretary of State Milliken in Denver. The new institution is to be known as the Ordway State Bank at Ordway, Colo., and capitalized for $25,000. The incorporators are A. J. Luneburg, M. T. Caley and J. R. Caley. Cripple Creek.—Gold ore as rich as any that has ever been found in the Cripple Creek district has been developed at a depth of 850 feet in the C.W. Searles lease on the Jerry Johnson mine, Ironclad hill. Assay tests on a sample taken from a four-inch streak, or core, in a flat vein that caries a width of about eight feet, returned the phenomenal value of almost 5,454 ounces, or at the rate of 6109,074 to the ton. It is an ore vein where the bonanza values occur, and not a freak deposit of free gold in a pocket or vug.

Expansion Depends Upon Earnings 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. SUMMONS.

Preferred stock in a corporation is a share which is entitled to a dividend before any other dividend is payable. the amount of the dividend is limited, however. Common stock receives its dividend after the preferred stock, but the dividend is not limited.

Nee et ee a POLITICAL LINE-UP, : ITH the opening up of state headquarters and the writing of the plat- W forms by the two major parties, it may be said that Colorado's po- litical campaign is well under way. Soon literature will be flooding our mail boxes, the voice of the campaign orator will be heard throughout the Jand and the curbstone statesman will be telling of the virtues of his particular party or candidate. ‘The biennial political marathon is on with hoth Democratic and Republican entries feverishly hoping to cross the wire 4 winner in November. ‘The situation in Colorado this year is not only unique hut possesses some strong comparative elements. Both parties have nomt- nated strong men for the office of governor, each of whom possesses an in- dividuality that ives to them special strength. Colorado's voting contingent is diseriminating as well as independent and it not always swayed by a party label nor gotten in line by the mere crack of the party whip. ‘Therefore, let us plainly understand the line of cleavage between the two leading candidates presented to us this fall. Both are pointed to as progressives, though that Nery term is too often misleading. One is termed 2 radical, however, while the other is held to be more conservative. The very age m which we live is tinged with radicalism, ‘The old way of doing things seems to be no longer effective or desired. We realize beyond peradventure that there is something wrong with the body politic. The times are sadly out of joint and some political remedies must be applied that will reach the case, Pollticat Dhysiclans are not entirely, agreed ag to what alls us, "the true, but it is evi- Hent extreme radicalism will not suffice. It is said that the Democratic Candidate for governor out-radicals all of our ideas of radicalism to such fn extent that his success at the polls would mean an invitation to, the worst Glement in the country to make Colorado their abiding place. Broad as we try to be on all public matters, there is an element of selfishness in all of us that creeps into all our activities. And THE COLORADO STATESMAN Will not attempt to eseape the charge of a selfish Interest in the Negro race first of all, in opposing the radical program being advanced by the Demo- cratic party. For whatever our plight, we have never been able to figure Gut & piece of common, ground upon avhich the Negro and the average white man could stand amicably, And an evil day confronts us whenever the rad- fenl element. gains a foothold in Colorado through political ascendency. The present is no time for foolish experimentation and it behooves all good citizens to keep their fect squarely upon the ground. Tt is apparent at this time that the Negro yote will not be cast solidly for any one party. ‘There Will be those, small in number, no doubt, who will be found in the Demo- cratic band-wagon. ‘THE COLORADO STATESMAN certainly has no quarrel With any of our race who see the political light in this manner, But as for us, we shall oppose to the very limit of our ability and strength the intro- Auction of radicalism, socialism and obstructive laws into our stite govern- ment, ‘Those who would destroy our institutions are those who do not be- lieve in ordered liberty and the constitutional guarantees of individual rights. ‘And it is this class, when placed in authority, from whom arises all our troubles and ills. Unless the absolutely unforseen arises to convince us otherwise, THE COLORADO STATESMAN sees a greater security to the stability and progress of the state in the election of the candidates on the Republican ticket. SIMPLY A MAN'S CHANCE. » has fallen! Georges Carper nyincible boxing champion, \ a bed of pain today drinkin; panying mental anguish beyor ring tactics, fighting ability ¢ PSUR ae sa Se a RS PAAR (HE iIdol of France has fallen! Georges Carpentier, petted, pampered Tr ‘and idolized as invincible boxing champion, war ‘hero and modern ‘Adonis, dies upon a bed of pain today drinking deep of the dregs of Gefeat, with its accompanying mental anguish beyond human computation. He met his master in ring tueties, fighting ability and generalship Sunday night for the first time on European soil. His conqueror, Batting Siiki, is 4 Sengalese Negro of giant proportions and panther-like litheness, who has sbown all the ability of a real fighting champion, Yesterday Georges was a Parisian idol; today it is Siki. France knows no color line, and it was but an easy transition for the Impulsive, hero-worshipping Frenchmen to turn from vanquished to vietar, More than a year ago, when Carpentier went down at Jersey City before the attack of Jack Dempsey, he lost none of his popularity. He still carried the crowds with him and was yociferously hailed as the defeated but not disgraced hero of France. Perhaps Dempsey's unpopularity, gained through a spotted war record, had much to do with this, But in the Paris contest it was quite different, ‘The Sengalese Negroes gave a good account of themselves in every attack against the Hun army, and Battling Siki has proven that, given a man's chance, his race can measure arms with any other. Every account of the battle indicates that it was u fair field with no favor, and that the best man won. Had Georges used the convenient subterfuge of drawing the color line, so often employed by American white fighters, he might still be a Honized vaudeville attraction. But be gained his crown by fighting and lost it in the same manner. But speaking of a man’s chance, let us turn to the National Amateur Athletic championship meet recently held at Newark, N. J., and participated in by the most noted athletes on the American continent. Again the black ineets the white, and when the smoke of a spirited contest had cleared away it was found that De Hart Hubbard, a twenty-year-old colored youth of Cinancinit, who is a sephomore at the University of Michigan, had beaten all previous records in a running broad Jump by over a foot. He covered the remarkable distance of 24 feet 51-8 inches. Next to him came Ned Gourdin and Sol Butler, both colored, who took second and third places re- spectively. The next man was Albert Rose, white. The COLORADO STATESMAN takes note of these remarkable achievements as emphasizing the fact that no race has a particular monopoly on superior ability, and that all the Negro asks in any chosen field is simply a man’s chance. We can necept defeat or victory with equal calm and modesty, We only ask that the barrier of color be remoyed from the path of our ambitions, whether in athletics, educational, political or business activities, A vaunted superiority on the part of the white race in any line can never be successfully defended by merely raising the question of color. History abounds with instances where the Negro has measured to the full height of a MAN whenever given the chance to show bis prowess. He is not afrald of competition; he courts fa contest. Success 1s not a given quantity; success is won. AM powers and talents of man, all natural wealth of the earth, are merely fingers on the hand known as human will power. It is a God-given quality endowed upon all alike. But let us come nearer home for a lesson. On Saturday and Sunday of this week Denver will enjoy a baseball novelty when the Kansas City Monarchs clash with the Denver Bears of the Western League nt Merchants Park. The Monarchs are one of the best colored teams in the country and their opportunity to play against a team in the Western League does not come of mere chance. They are skilled artists and their special training is evidenced by gentlemanly deportment both off and on the ball diamond. ‘They have proven their worth both as high class ball players and as a box office attraction. Hence they are being given a man’s chance, for which we are proud and which we believe to be their due. Are these not milestones in the great race of life that should give us heart and courage? ‘All of us cannot be champion pugilists; all of us cannot be trained athletes to successfully compete in field-day sports; all of us cannot be professional ball players, but each and all of us can and should fit ourselves to give the yery best that is within us no matter what our chosen field of endeavor may be. History is full of tales of desperate chances which succeeded simply because men believed in themselves. In Amerlea today exists im- measurable chances, far from desperate, that but await the master mind or master stroke. Handicaps and obstacles strew our pathway, but more and greater achievements will be heralded by the press of the nation if only the Negro be giver a chance. Let us equip ourselves for the hour. Invents New Method for Keeping Records United States Navy Washington, D, C., Sept. 22—Mr. John 'T, Risher, colored navy employé, formerly of Jackson, Miss. has just been awarded a prize of $1,000 by the United States Government for offer ing the best methed and plans for making and keeping the records of the navy. a Mr, Risher began as a messenger in the Navy Department about twelve years ago at $50.00 per month, but by diligent effort he has worked himself up to be chief of the Muster Roll Di- vision of the United States Navy. ‘The method of keeping the records of the navy heretofore have practical- ly been those used by the navy sixty years age, but the great increase of our navy brought abeut the World War made the old plans wholly un- adapted to the navy’s great increase: Mr. Risher had given this subject special study for some time, and therefore called the attention of the naval heads to the fact that he could suggest methods that would greatly relieve the situation. So the Board of ‘Admirals offered a prize of $1,000 to any one who might offer the best improved method, One hundred and five naval officers submitted plans and competed. ‘The Board of Admirais sat for more than a week and heard the different methods ex- plained, and finally adopted the Risher plan. Congress appropriated $200,000 for installing the Risher plans which, it is said, will mean a saving to the government of more than $700,000 annually. ‘Through this device the humblest yeoman may be located by the depart: iment on a moment's notice, while heretofore it togpk many days, and sometimes months, to locate a sailor. Negro Gardner Grows New Variety of Fruit Washington, D. C., Sept. 22.—Heze- kiah ‘Brooks, Negro ywardener and fruitgrower of Miami, Fla., recently announced the successful conclusion of lis attempts to produce a new va- riety of mango, ‘Tt is claimed that the result is destined to fill a gup in the frujt calendar of the Southern sec- tien of the country. This is due to the fact, as duimed by Brooks, that the fruit ripens between November and Jannary, a period during which the mango is not to be found in tpat market. The BROOKS MANGO is. similar to the Mulgeba im appearance and tex- ture, but is declared to be superior to that variety in flaver. Some experts proneunce it a cross of the Mulgoba and Sundash. Some of the new man- goes have been presented to eminent authorities of horticulture and somé have been sent to the Department of Agriculiure at Washington, Bomb Found in Coal in Colored Factory Bither Work of Competitors Or Striking Miners; Shrapnel Shell in Fireman’s Shovel; Lives of Twenty-five People at Stake. Considerable excitement was caused Saturday in the manufacturing district of New York by the finding of a bomb in the coal delivered to the Pace Phon- ograph Corporation, makers of Black Swan Records, at their manufacturing plant at Meadow and Creek streets, Long Island City. ‘The bomb was of the shrapnel type, heavily loaded and capped, and capable of blowing up the entire plant. ‘The fireman disevovered the bomb after it was in his shovel, and Just as he was about to plunge it Into the furnace. A moment later and there would have been an’ explosion that would have wrecked the boilers and damaged the plant, probably Kill- ing or injuring the twenty-five em- ployés working there. Investigation was made by the bomb squads of the police department and the fire department. Just where the bomb came from could not be ascer- tained as the Pace Company uses near- ly thirty tons of coal per month, and deliveries from two companies are made almost daily, and each had just delivered several tons of coal. It is presumed that the bomb was put into the coal by someone connect- ed with the coal miners’ strike. The officials of the company were alarmed at first lest it were the work of com- petitors, who were seeking to destroy their business in Black Swan Records, the sale of which has so seriously in- terfered with the records made by oth- er companies. ‘The Daily News carried a pleture of the bomb, which was of an unusually large size. Denver Colored Civic Association Makes Urgent Appeal for Education of the Masses. ‘The following appeal by the above association should interest our people in a very special mannéy, and is en- dorsed by THE COLORADO STATES- MAN. Dear Fellow Citizen: You are probably more interested in the development of your children than any one else could possibly be. No doubt. you have been giving some thought to the question of thelr edu- cation. Perhaps there may be some facts in this letter which may interest you. ‘This is the month In which the pub- lie schools and other educational fn- ‘stitutions are opening. Unfortunately ‘a good many of the boys and girls will not be found in these classes and our Civic Association is anxious to see that this number is Just as few as possible. We realize what it means, not only to the advancement of the individual boy or girl to get an adequate education, put we believe it means a great deal also to our race and to the common- wealth. putting it on the lowest basis it means dollars and cents nowadays to have a good practical education, We have government statistics which show that the average boy or girl who Is ed- uated makes many more thousands of dollars in a life time than the average person who has not a fair education.

LAST FRONTIER OF WEST IS DOOMED TIMBER CUTTERS WILL, INVADE THE MALHEUR NATIONAL FOREST OF OREGON. More Than Seven Billion Feet of Lumber, It is Estimated, Will Be Taken Out—Many Miles of Railway Are Necessary. Washington.—Opening up to the Twentieth century civilization of what is described as the last frontier settlement in the United States is foreseen in the recent announcement by the forest service of the proposed sale of timber in the Malheur national forest, Oregon. This wooded section, now remote from railroad facilities and present-day methods of living, may soon ring with the sound of blasting and ax blows, of puffing locomotives, of mill whistles, automobile horns and other noises of industry. Where now stand giants of the forest will rise lumbering towns and agricultural communities, and where roam bear, deer and other wild animals muscular men and hardy women will tread. Desecration of the last great "forest primeval" is impending. Lumbermen of the country see in the brief statement of the service the final opportunity for their trade to deal initially with a virgin pine forest of wide expanse and the last opportunity for the settler to take possession of a region now remote from railways and markets and virtually unused agriculturally. Hugé Timber Tract. The opening for sale of the timber of the Bear valley unit of the Malheure national forest affects approximately 800,000,000 feet of Blue mountains timber now and marks the beginning of the razing of the entire forest, containing more than 7,000,000,000 feet of lumber. To start the lumbering operations it will be necessary to build about 80 miles of trunk line railway, in addition to tap lines, thus opening incidentally for settlement an agricultural country having an area of 10,000 square miles, or about twice that of the state of Massachusetts. The agricultural development that will ensue upon the lumbering activities, which involve the employment of hundreds of men in building of necessary railway alone, will demonstrate also exceptionally the policy of using the national forests as an adjunct of the general progress and welfare of adjacent regions. The forecast of the forest service provides for at least one logging and lumbering unit that will never have to move elsewhere to find new forests—at least one sawmill town that will never die for lack of material for its industries. The mill site recommended is at Burns, Ore., a village of about 1,000 persons, located 30 miles northwest of Crane, the present terminus of a branch of the Oregon Short Line of the Union Pacific railway, which leaves the main line at Ontario, Ore. It is likely that the Union Pacific would undertake to build a branch from Crane to Burns if a sawmill were put in operation at the latter place, it is said. From Burns on, however, whoever buys the timber will have to build a logging railway, which is required to be a common carrier, for a distance of 50 miles to Seneca. The country is open and with easy slopes, extremely well adapted to economical logging and easy railway construction. It is estimated that, exclusive of the line from Crane to Burns, whoever takes this timber will have to expend approximately $3,000,000 in railway building, mill construction and operating expenses for the first year. Because of the lack of railways there are 10,000 square miles of land in Harney, Grant and Cook counties almost entirely given over now to grazing. The few natives of this section contend that their community, from a settlement point of view, is the last frontier in the United States. A Long-Time Contract. While the ancient forest is doomed, the terms of the proposed sale are such that the succession of its sylvan posterity is assured, according to the National Lumber Manufacturers' association. Though the timber now offered for sale by the forest service is sufficient only to keep a moderatesized mill running continuously for 20 years, the service will at the end of that time open up another unit and so on until eventually 7,000,000,000 feet of timber will be made available. The unit it is now planned to open is 87 per cent western yellow pine. The minimum price the forest service will consider for the pine in the initial unit is $2.75 a thousand and 50 cents for timber of other species, although logging the latter will be optional with the contractor. It is stipulated that the mill must be in operation by April 1, 1928, and that stumpage prices will be readjusted every three years thereafter. Better Traveling Agents Needed. "Careful selection of efficient traveling agents for service abroad is one of the most vital essentials for success in our foreign business," says Julius Klein, director of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, after summarizing a comprehensive survey of the situation made by experts of the Department of Commerce throughout the world. He points out that extreme care must be exercised, particularly at this crucial period of reconstruction, lest an unwise appointment might bring disaster, not only to the individual merchant who sent him overseas, but toight involve also the good will and standing of American export firms in general. The traveling representative has an unprecedentedly grave responsibility, since he will be regarded as the spokesman of his country as well as of his company. He will be in a position to build up or damage the prestige of both. The Department of Commerce is giving considerable attention to measures designed to facilitate the work of American salesmen abroad, particularly in the Latin-American countries. A bill is now before congress to give effect to the uniform commercial-traveler treaty, which has already been ratified by seven of the Latin-American republics. By the terms of this treaty commercial travelers of one country will be able to operate in the territory of another simply upon the payment of a single fee and obtaining a license, which is valid throughout the whole country. Kind of Man Required. The Department of Commerce will issue to American travelers the certificates of identification called for by the convention, and it is because the department realizes the implied responsibility of promoting the selection of proper American salesmen to represent American business in foreign countries that Director Klein feels its imperative to admonish those executives who pick men to see that they are (a) suited to the territory and the trade to be visited; (b) to the line of goods he handles, and (c) to the commercial policies of his employer. The agent should be a man of good education, thoroughly versed in the fundamental technical aspects of his field. He should possess a broad fund of information, with at least a superficial knowledge of the topics of the day. Stability of moral character is an indispensable requirement. No matter how brilliant he may be as a salesman, if his moral character is questioned by a foreign merchant this will reflect upon his manufacturer and upon his country. No weak-willed person should be sent abroad on a business mission. Much more attention should be paid to his personal habits than if he was to work in the United States. Reliability in the broadest sense is a primary requisite. The oversees salesman is largely "on his own"; his house must depend upon his discretion; he cannot be watched and guided as a domestic counterpart. Should Be a Good "Mixer." To be a good "mixer" is highly desirable if coupled with restraint and proper standards of behavior. The traveling agent should be a student of human nature, with ability to adapt himself to the persons with whom he comes in contact. Abroad, he will find the social obligations of his position much more exacting than in the United States. He should curb any tendency to boastfulness about himself or the United States, and guard against criticisms which might offend the sensibilities of foreigners. He should remember that he was sent out as a saelsman—not as a reformer. Tact and politeness are indispensable. Lack of tact has been one of the outstanding deficiencies of American traveling men. The bluff, good fellowship in this country is very distasteful to the Latin American, who is accustomed to well phrased compliments and strict observance of certain conventions. The Latin American also dislikes the appearance of doing business in a hurry. The question of the salesman's nationality is quite important. He must be a real American. When a naturalized American is being considered for assignment as foreign salesman, his standing before naturalization and in his native country must be able to stand the closest scrutiny. Foreign buyers will make allowances for out-and-out Americans that they will not make for natives of their own country who may have become naturalized in this country. The foreign buyers have a pretty fair idea of the typical American, and like to do business with him. The representative for foreign service should have a well-balanced comprehension of sales problems and a psychological understanding of the buyers' position—not be a mere "order taker." Probably a Medley. The members of a Sunday school orchestra in a small Indiana town found themselves in sudden need of some music for church and other occasions, so they wrote to a city department store (one of those which prides itself on super-service) asking for several numbers suitable for the use of a Sunday school orchestra. When the music came the first piece opened was "Angel Child" (fox trot). The orchestra leader is wondering whether the head of the music department was trying to be funny or if he regularly selects the music for his orders by the association of ideas test as suggested by titles—Indianapolis News.

As a salad or in combination with other foods, pineapple adds much to a dish. A cabbage salad becomes a dish in the highest class with a slice or two of pineapple added to it. Pineapple Cake.—Make an angel food or any white cake baked in a sheet. Cut and put together in layers with a filling of whipped cream into which has been stirred shredded pineapple, sugar and flavoring to taste. The cake may be baked in layers or made into small cakes. Pineapple Salad.—Arrange a slice of pineapple on lettuce, and on the slices place pieces of red pepper cut in the form of poinsetta petals. Riced hard-cooked egg may be used for the centers. Pineapple Dessert.—Arrange on individual plates as many slices of pineapple. In the center of each slice place a cono of ice cream and sprinkle with chopped nuts. Whipped cream may be added to the cone, then the chopped nuts. Pineapple Marshmallow.—Mix equal amounts of marshmallows cut in quarters and pineapple cut in cubes; add pineapple juice and let the mixture stand for a while in a cool place. Just before serving, add a half-cupful of sweetened and flavored whipped cream and a few almonds. Serve in sherbet cups garnished with cherries. Frozen Pudding.—Make a custard of a pint of milk, three egg yolks, a cupful of sugar and a pinch of salt; strain, add a teaspoonful of vanilla and almond mixed, then fold in the whites of the eggs and a cupful of whipped cream. Add chopped pineapple and candied cherries finely minced and freeze as usual. Pineapple Fritters. — Stir grated pineapple into fritter batter, using one cupful of flour, one-half teaspoonful of baking powder, a pinch of salt, two well-beaten eggs, one-half cupful of sugar and one-half cupful of milk. Beat well. Use a cupful of pineapple. Fry in small spoonfuls in deep fat. Pineapple With Cheese.—Place a slice of pineapple in the center of head lettuce. In the center of the slice put a ball of seasoned cream cheese, sprinkle with a little of the riced yolk of egg. Observation more than books, experience rather than persons, are the prize educators. It sometimes takes courage to insist that you are right, but a lot more to admit that you are wrong.

Shape into croquettes, dip in crumbs and egg and fry in a wire basket in deep fat. Codfish and Macaroni.—Take one cupful each of cooked macaroni and flaked cooked codfish. Put into a buttered baking dish, sprinkle with salt, pepper and crumbs—the crumbs well buttered. Sprinkle with grated cheese and add sufficient milk to moisten. Bake until brown in a hot oven. Cuban Codfish.—Chop one onion fine and fry a light brown in butter. Add a cupful of canned tomatoes and a cupful of freshened codfish. Cook ten minutes, stirring constantly. Serve on buttered toast.

Pack into an earthen mold which has been rinsed with cold water and set away to harden. Creamed Codfish With Poached Eggs.—Take left-over creamed codfish, heat and spread on toast which is well buttered, then drop on each a poached egg. Serve hot. Nellie Maxwell MANY KILLED IN FORT EXPLOSION ENTIRE NAVAL GARRISON AT SPEZIA, ITALY, REPORTED KILLED. 144 BELIEVED DEAD HUNDREDS INJURED IN EXPLO SION CAUSED BY LIGHT. NING BLAST Spezia, Italy.—The entire naval garrison at Falconara fort, near here on the Gulf of Genon, is believed to have been killed in an explosion caused by lightning, which destroyed property and lives within a radius of ten miles. The number of dead is feared to have reached 144, according to available lists. Several hundred have been injured seriously. A majority of the victims were still buried beneath the wreckage. Fifteen hundred tons of explosives were stored in the deep tunnels of the fort. The entire top of the hill on which it was located was blown away. Military forces were assigned to the rescue work. Pitiful cries for aid were heard coming from beneath numerous heaps of debris, but though the rescue work proceeded most actively, it was some time before the last victims were extricated from the wreckage of the immense number of houses which were razed. All the windows in Spezia were broken. The Italian Red Cross, immediately after the explosion, sent large quantities of medical stores and other first aid necessities to the scene. All Fascisti of the Province of Genoa have been mobilized by their chiefs to assist the soldiers. The explosion occurred in a violent storm which damaged the crops and property of the inhabitants for large areas along the guild. Half crazed with terror from fire and storm, the despairing population is being relieved through governmental care. Streams of injured arrived here in automobiles, trolley cars, lorries and ambulances from the scene of the explosion. Numerous other injured persons were being sheltered in schools, the waiting rooms of the railway stations and private houses. The hospitals were filled. Troops, firemen and civilians were working hard to clear away the wreckage, but their task is an almost superhuman one. Every tree within a radius of many miles of the explosion was uprooted. Iowa Man Leads G. A. R. Des Moines, In.—Judge J. W. Willett of Tama, Iowa, was elected commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic at the annual encampment held here. He was unopposed. Judge Willett was the unanimous choice of the 500 representatives on the floor of the convention half. Commander-in-Chief Willett is the first naval veteran to be elected as head of the G. A. R. Turkish Sultan Abdicates. Paris—Mohammed VI, Sultan of Turkey, has abdicated in favor of the heir apparent, Prince Abdul Ledjid Effendi, according to a report to the Havas correspondent at Constantinople. The news, he adds, has not yet been officially announced. Prince Abdul Ledjid, who is a cousin of the sultan, was born in 1868. American Flag Guards Relief Workers American Flag Guards Relief Workers Smyrna—Ten Greek-owned vessels steamed into the harbor under the protection of the American flag and took off 20,000 refugees and victims of the fire. The American navy, under Rear Admiral Bristol, is striving valiantly to save the remainder, who number not less than 40,000. Amid the scenes of disorder and excitement, a dramatic figure, A. K. Jennings of New York, of the Near East relief, is attempting, single-handed, to alleviate the sufferings and quiet the fears of the distracted fugitives. Stolen Jewels Found in Garage Stolen Jewels Found in Garage. Sloux Falls, S. D.—Three boxes of pearls, diamonds and other jewels were unearthed in the garage of E. J. Kahler, assistant business manager of the Argus Leader, and identified as part of the loot obtained from the robbery of the two trunks at the St. Paul depot, for which eight men are being held here. The gems stolen were said to be valued at approximately $50,000. Police Captain E. J. Pike was shot and killed while attempting to capture one of the robbery suspects. Army Officers to Rule Greece. Army officers to rule Greece. Paris—A provisional government, consisting of twelve officers, will rule Greece until a civil government is established, according to a telegram from Athens. The telegram stated that the spirit and aims of the revolution being essentially nationalist, it was, from the first moment, warmly welcomed by all, and the entire population, as well as the army at Athens, received the revolutionary forces with enthusiasm. --- THE COLORADO STATESMAN III the Mouth-Piece the People of Colorado and the Entire West RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and gress; a faithful mirror their wants, their hopes, ir best aspiration.

ADAPTABLE TO TOUGH MEATS (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Now that summer is at hand the housewife turns her thought to meals which require as little heat as possible to prepare, or to those devices by which a good meal can be cooked with- out staying constantly in a hot kiteben while doing it. A firejess cooker is one of the means by which this latter may be accomplished. Meats and fowl may be prepared in it, and particularly {t is adaptable to the tougher cuts of meat and to beans and cereals, be- cause of the long, slow cooking which It affords, Principle of Device. | The principle of home-made and ‘commercial fireless cookers is the re- ‘tention of the heat in the food long =e ee at = gh b B a if ih Wooden Pail Good for Fireless Cooker. enough for it to be sufficiently cooked. ‘This is accomplished by first heating the food thoroughly over the stove in the cooking utensil and then placing the latter in a fireless cooker which is so insulated that the heat will be re tained for sufficient time to complete the cooking. The cooking is material- ly alded’ by the use of a hot stone placed under, and sometimes also an- other one on top of the cooking utensil. A home-made fireless cooker may be made out of a wooden box or pail of sufficient size. A wooden candy pail 16 Inches in diameter, standing 15 inches high, has been made into a fireless cooker by the United States Department of Agriculture.” The ac- companying diagram shows the gut side appearance of the wooden pall, and also a cross section. ‘he outside of the pail*is enameled white, as this gives it a finished ap- pearance, makes it smooth to handle, and easy to clean.- The inside of the pail is lined with six thicknesses of heavy brown paper and then with sev- eral Inches of excelsior. A tin can, with a well-fitting lid, such as'can be purchased to keep sugar or flour in, forms the center well. This must be large enough to hold a cooking utensil of practical size. Asbestos Is Essential. Directly around and under the cen- ter well, and between it and the excel- sior is placed asbestos sheeting at least % inch thick. This is the most “essential because it not only aids mua: terlally in retaining the heat within the well but also it is a means of pro- tection from fire. Without the asbes- tos there is great danger of the excel- sior taking fire from the hot soap- stone. The excelsior and asbestos ex- ‘tend nearly up to the lid of the well and are then covered with a tayer of cement which holds the material and the well in place. A round cushion filled with excelsior 1s stuffed between the cover of the well and the wooden cover of the Boye pay SEO A esti BEE ae oe fis" 4 ed ceed sca Ss ea AN | cronme, | Pare exceision| Seems) | Pepe 9 Ki We Oh Ne ea re ‘arn CLE o i COR J Cross Section of Home-Made Fireless 2 Cooker. cooker, and then it is ready for use.

MISTAKES TO AVOID WITH POTATO SALAD Overcooking or Too Much Stirring . Is Harmful. Evenly Cut Smali Dice Are More At tractive Than Large Chunke— Introduce Onion Flavor by Squeezing Juice Out. (Prepared by the United States Departront of Agricniture.) In making potato salad it Is well to ayold overcooking the potatoes, also to avoid too much stirring, or the salad will be mushy and unappetizing, Small, evenly cut dice are more attractive than large chunks of potato, advises the United States Department of Agri- culture, Cold boiled potatoes can be used when on hand, or the potatoes may be cut up raw and freshly cooked until Just done. Onion flavor may be introduced by squeezing the juice over the cooked hot potatoes. ‘This is more acceptable to many persons than bits of chopped onions occurring in the salad. ‘The potato may be mixed with French mayonnaise, or boiled dressing, while still hot. Care should be taken to avoid using too much vinegar in the salad. A tablespoonful of chopped parsley or diced cucumber is a pleas- ing addition, while chopped celery or radish, diced hard-boiled egg, canned sardines, capers, sour pickles may all be used with good results. A well-flavored potato salad may be made by cooking a tablespoonful of finely chopped onion in bacon fat until tender, then adding a tablespoonful of chopped celery and two cupfuls of sliced raw potatoes. All should be covered with water in a skillet and cooked down till the potatoes are done. Use French salad dressing and mix in |about two chopped hard-boiled eggs. Sardines may be added if liked. Serve hot or cold. HIGHER FUEL VALUE OF FATS Butter and Cream Are Most Important In Diet of Growing Children— Nuts Are Good. Fats and fat foods, such as butter, lard, suet, table and cooking fats, oll, bacon, salt pork, pork sausages, choc- olate, cream, and all nuts, except the chestnut, have a higher fuel value as a class than any other group of foods. Fats add flavor and richness to the diet, but since they are such concen- trated fuel foods, are often used in ex- cess of the amount needed. Milk fat is a particularly rich source of vita- mine A. Butter and cream are therefore far more important than most other fats in the diet of growing children, Some of these fat foods, for example, chocolate and nuts, contain generous proportions of protein and mineral substances, Roaet Pork With Pudding. A dish corresponding to the York- shire pudding, which is frequently served with roast beef, can be made out of corn meal to serve with roast pork, says the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. 4% cup corn meal. 3 teaspoon salt. {cup milk. 2 ewes. Place the milk, corn meal and salt in the top of a double boller and cook them about ten minutes, or until the meal has expanded to form a thorough mixture. After the mixture has cooled, add the eggs well beaten. Grease gem tins thoroughly, allowing to each about one teaspoonful of fat from the roast pork, Bake in a moderate oven, bast- ing oceasienally with the drippings of the pork, Start the hot-weather season with a good garbage can. ‘The ends of worn tablecloths make very nice, tray cloths. ; eee Dull files are sharpened when laid in dilute sulphuric acid, see Use a sinall painter's brush to re move dust from rattan chairs.

Bath NOW are the days when gay knitted togs hold forth in full measure of glory. With cool weather upon us things knitted take on a double significance. They answer not only to the call of the aesthetic, but they stand for genuine comfort as well. It would seem as if autumn's most gorgeous red, blue, yellow and purple hues have been caught within the knitted mesh of scarf, sweater-coat, hat and various accessories, reflecting their cheerful tones in stripes, plaids and novelty design—for one cannot wear too gay sports attire. Wealth of color is a chief asset in knitted apparel. Perhaps the knitted scarf comes first in importance. And they are making such wonderful scarfs these days! sons, but some differences are made for the little one that arrives in winter time. He is entitled to his share of fresh air and therefore must be clothed to take his airings and outings in warm comfort; but wraps and coverings are his main defense against the cold. There are not many differences between the layettes of the winter and the summer babies. The list of the baby's belongings starts with shirts and good nurses recommend the mixed silk and wool or cotton and wool shirts, because they do not shrink with washing. Three of these are necessary to begin with. Straight flannel bands—all wool and pinked at the edges—are to be provided for either the summer or winter baby and four of these are needed. 137 2 22 KNITTED WEAR FOR AUTUMN Great, shaggy, near-shawls of brush wool with astounding borders and lots of fringe! Just the sort to challenge any intent of Mr. Jack Frost. Then there are the fascinating fiber silk kind which supply their wealth of color to the erstwhile somber tailored suit. Perhaps you are of the skirt and fingerle blouse persuasion. If so, one needs a bit of protection about the shoulders, and what more apropos than one of the much befringed and cheerfully bordered brush wool scarfs? It is quite the clever thing to wear a wool scarf matched to one's sweater.

Study the knitted outfits in the illustration. The woolen slipover is white, loosely knitted with horizontal purple stripes; girdle is white and the sleeves are full length. The tam and scarf set worn with this sweater is of camel's hair with tassels on cap and scarf. The other young woman has the knack of wearing her lightweight knitted scarf just right. It is of brushed wool checked in blue and buff with blue tassels. The layette of his babyship is not worn a great deal to suit the sea. sons, but some differences are made for the little one that arrives in winter time. He is entitled to his share of fresh air and therefore must be clothed to take his airings and outings in warm comfort; but wraps and coverings are his main defense against the cold. There are not many differences between the layettes of the winter and the summer babies. The list of the baby's belongings starts with shirts and good nurses recommend the mixed silk and wool or cotton and wool shirts, because they do not shrink with washing. Three of these are necessary to begin with. Straight flannel bands—all wool and pinned at the edges—are to be provided for either the summer or winter baby and four of these are needed. K When the baby is three months old they are discarded and replaced by silk and wool or cotton and wool shoulder bands. For the winter baby three pairs of wool stockings are needed and a small wood form to dry them over. They should be washed in cold water. Knee-length bootees usually form a part of every layette and three pairs of them are needed by the winter baby to wear when he goes for a promenade.

Fare may be both the sum paid for a journey and the person couveyed, and this is the sense in which the word is chiefly used nowadays. Fishermen will recognize the word as a term used to denote the total amount of fish caught on a cruise. --- --- P. O. Box 116 VINEGAR Licensed Embalmer and Director Lady Assistant.
