SOLID SOUTH IS BACK AGAIN

SOLID SOUTH I
REPUBLICANS ARE RE
RITO
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 8.—(By the
Associated Press.)—The Democ
cratic "solid South" once again is a
reality as a result of ballots cast in
yesterday's general election, according
to returns early today.
The above flaring head line and brief news item is almost humorous in the face of the fact that President Harding made a swing through the south about a year ago for the openly avowed purpose of pouring oil on the troubled waters and breaking the "solid south" politically. He chose Birmingham as a convenient battle ground and in a carefully prepared address he urged the southern white man to seek higher political ground and break away from the vicious habit of voting the Democratic ticket in season and out. He at the same time admonished the Negro voters of the country that blindly voting the Republican ticket at all times was not to his best interest. The president by this remarkable palliation hoped to remove the shadowy cause of friction between the races in the south and bring about an entirely new political alignment. Evidently the northern Negro took the president at his word if one may judge by the election returns from Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Kansas and other states where the Negro vote appears in an appreciable quantity. But the learning and sense of discernment of the southern white man is not quite so acute and so he went on in his usual blunt way of voting the Democratic ticket. The moral of the whole thing, however, is that the sooner the Republican party rids itself of the delusion that there is a possibility of breaking the political back-bone of the Democratic party by playing into the hands of southern racial prejudices the more secure will be their tenure of power throughout the nation.
Tablets to Negroes
A bronze tablet is to be placed on the Palomar mountain grade in San Diego county, Calif., in memory of a Negro, Nate Harrison, who, for a half century, furnished travelers with spring water. The tablet will mark the site of the spring and carries the information that Harrison died October 10, 1920, aged 101 years. There is also the quotation from Burns: "A man's a man for a' that."
A tablet is to be placed in the ward of a London hospital where an African hero, Chief Mandombi, allowed himself to be used for experimental treatment which resulted in locating the germ which causes the dreaded sleeping sickness. Attacked by sleeping sickness in the Congo in 1890, Mandombi suggested to an English missionary that he be sent to England and experimented upon in order that some effective cure might be found for the disease. For four months specimens of Mandombi's blood were taken until the germ was identified. The strain had been too much, however, and Mandombi died as truly martyr to the cause of human progress as any of those who have sacrificed their lives that their fellows
---
might have an increased chance for health and happiness. It is well that the memory of such men should be perpetuated and that their names should be known, for they have contributed to human advancement the dearest thing given to them, and when they give up their lives they come as near to the divine as ever a man does. —Nortfolk Journal and Guide.
Moton Lays Flower Tribute on Graves of Negro Soldiers
Visits American Cemetery in France and Honors Race Dead of Late War Negro Musicians in Paris Gives Reception to Party.
Glasgow, Scotland.—Dr. Robert Russa Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, and his party, which included Mrs. Moton, Major Allen Washington, Nathan Hunt and Rev. George Lake Imes, all of Tuskegee Institute, who sailed from New York on October 7, aboard the French liner Paris, made their first activity in France a visit to the American Cemetery in Belleau Woods, where he placed tributes of flowers on the graves of American Negro soldier dead.
Dr. Moton also placed a wreath on the grave of Quentin Roosevelt, son of the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt. This memorial trip was made on Thursday, October 12.
On Friday the party visited the Rheims Cathedral, British and French Cemeteries, and the battlefield scenes of the recent World War as far as the front line trenches.
The American Negro musicians now in France, led by Will Marion Cook, the well-known composer, tendered a reception to the Moton party on Saturday, October 14.
Dr. Moton and party arrived in Glasgow on Monday, October 16, and Dr. and Mrs. Moton are house guests of Sir John McLead, M. P., one of Scotland's most distinguished citizens. On the same day the Americans attended the reception given to the principal officers and speakers of the Missionary Congress, the affair being held at the home of the lord provost.
Dr. Moton's address, the text of which was published in last week's Age, was delivered on Tuesday, October 17, before an audience of 4,000. It was received with great enthusiasm, and the Glasgow Herald, the leading paper of the city, used headlines entirely across the front page, saying: "Eloquent American Negro Makes Earnest Convincing Plea for Darker Races the World Over."
A gratifying feature of Dr. Moton's trip was the receipt by him of a cablegram from a group of foreign students who are attending Tuskegee Institute, extending felicitations and best wishes for the success of his mission. He has replied with thanks and greetings to teachers and students.

War Department Arranges for Return of Col. Young's Body
War Department Arranges for Return of Col. Young's Body
Permission Secured for Removal From English Territory and Arrangements Made for Shipping Remains to the United
Speculation as to the probable return of the body of the late Col. Charles Young, U. S. A., retired, who died at Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa, last January, is practically set at rest by a communication from the office of the Quartermaster General, War Department, Washington, to Wm. Service Bell, first vice-commander, Colonel Charles Young Post, 398, American Legion, stating that all preliminary arrangements have been made and consent obtained from the English government for removal of Col. Young's body. The remains are expected in the United States within the next few months.
Col. Young, who was military attache to the United States Consulate at Monrovia, Liberia, died while on a tour of inspection through Nigeria, which is British territory. He was intered at Lagos, 1,500 miles from Monrovia. Under English law the body could not be exhumed until six months had elapsed. The letter from the War Department advises the Col. Charles Young Post that:
"This office is in receipt of a cable from the American minister at Monrovia, Liberia, to the effect that authority has been secured of the Nigerian government for the exhuming of the remains of Colonel Young, also that the government of Nigeria has consented to take the responsibility of placing the remains on board ship, and that he is making necessary arrangements with the steamship line at Lagos for transportation of the remains. Inasmuch as the necessary instructions have been given relative to the procurement of the casket and all details arranged with the Nigerian government, it is believed that it will be possible to get the remains into this country within a very few months."

HONORS IN MEDICINE.
To a Negro girl, Miss Alice Ball, be longs the honor of contributing to one of the most important medical discoveries of recent years—the use of chamomogra oil in the treatment and cure of leprosy. When the laboratory experiments at the University of Hawaii, Hawaiian Islands, were carried on, Miss Ball was offered an appointment as chemist. She accepted the position, devoting herself to the work so earnestly that she later died as the result of a breakdown in health, without knowing that the work to which she had given herself had been successful. —The American Missionary.

Conductor on Rock Island Ry. Rebuked for Discourtesy
Conductor on Rock Island Ry. Rebuked for Discourtesy
General Manager Beacon Writes Pythian Official That There Will Be No Future Cause for Complaint by Colored Passengers on His Road.
Birmingham, Ala. — Following upon an unpleasant experience to which he was subjected by the conductor of a train operated by the Rock Island R. R. Co., between Little Rock, Ark., and Memphis, Tenn., Dr. Ulysses G. Mason, supreme medical director, Supreme Lodge, K. of P., with offices in the Pythian Temple building, this city, wrote a letter to T. R. Beacom, vice president and general manager, Chicago, telling in detail of the discomforts to which colored passengers using trains on this road are subjected.
Dr. Mason's experience, on September 7 last, was, that in a crowded train, with only one vacant seat, he was compelled to move from his seat by the train conductor, who wanted to use it himself, the command being given in a most discourteous manner, a train brakeman being present, apparently to back up the verbal command with force, if necessary.
Dr. Mason also recited in his letter the fact that colored passengers are not provided with any ordinary travel comforts, including ice water in hot weather, protection from cinders emitted by the engine, or lavatories in which the grime and dirt can be removed. He wrote:
"I am sure as a business man you are desirous of the business of all the people, and there is exhibited such an utter disregard for the accommodation of colored people on common carriers by the employés, it makes the fellow who PAYS feel that his presence is not desired, and hence he will travel in the future over such lines as he is absolutely compelled to, and not otherwise. People, as you know, who go to resorts, are not always compelled to go to that particular one, and where they find conditions are not propitious, they travel in the direction of the least resistance. * * * * There will be more of our people traveling to and from Hot Springs, beginning January, for health, than in the history of the Springs, owing to the bath houses and conveniences being provided there by colored people for colored people. Much of the travel is going to depend largely upon the accommodation and HUMANE treatment received on the common carriers."
In reply of this letter, General Manager Beaman wrote that an investigation proved the truth of charges made by Dr. Mason. He said: "Our superintendent personally handled this matter, and I am quite sure that should you again have occasion to travel on this train, you will have no cause for complaint. * * I assure you that it is our policy to have our employés accord every one courteous treatment."

Miss Sarah Rector, Heiress to Millions, Is Married in Kansas
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 3.—Miss Sarah Rector, known as the richest girl of the race, was married Sept. 16 to Kenneth Campbell at Lawrence, Kan. Mrs. Rector, mother of the bride, and Mrs. Campbell, grandmother of the bridegroom, were the only witnesses of the ceremony.
The wedding was entirely quiet and has just been announced by C. H. Calloway, Miss Rector's attorney.
Hurt Last Week.
Mr. and Mrs. Campbell figured in an automobile accident last week en route from Sedalia, Mo., where they had attended a football game between Lincoln high school and George R. Smith College. The car turned over and they received very painful injuries. They were brought to Wheatley Provident hospital, where they received medical attention and are now convalescing.
Mr. Campbell is a recent graduate of Lincoln high school, where he made an enviable record. He won prizes in athletics and a scholarship to Lincoln University.
Mrs. Campbell came to this city from Oklahoma. Some years ago the country was startled by the announcement of the discovery of a millionaire girl, a member of the race. it was at the beginning of the Oklahoma oil boom. Sarah Rector was the first to achieve prominence as possessing great wealth. In her wake followed a number of others.
No certain figure as to the extent of Mrs. Campbell's holdings is available. She maintains one of the finest homes in this city and is known to have other real estate interests. C. H. Calloway, a race attorney, is her advisor.
Mr. and Mrs. Campbell will take a trip as soon as they leave the hospital, during which time Mr. Campbell will decide just what course he is to take, whether he is to continue in school or embark in business.
Negro Bankers Offer to Finance Liberian Loan
Durham, N. C.—In the event that Congress fails to authorize the Liberian loan of $5,000,000, which this country has virtually promised to make, it is still possible that the little African Republic will be able to get the money from America. The Durham Commercial Securities Company, W. Gomez, president, wrote to President C. E. B. King of Liberia, under date of October 4, and offered its services in negotiating the loan under "similar conditions as those which have already been offered."
The Durham Commercial Securities Company is amply able to fulfill its part in such negotiations. Mr. Gomez was founder of the Bankers' Fire Insurance Company of Durham, which recently took over in a merger the Great Southern Fire Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., forming a financial body of weight and standing. The men actively identified with this company are also prominently connected with the North Carolina Mutuel Life Insurance Company, said to be the largest and wealthiest Negro life in-

CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS.
Durango.—In order that it might get freight traffic to the Hogback oil field on the Navajo Indian reservation which is now handled by another road to Gallup, N. M., and then trucked in, the Denver & Rio Grande Western proposes to lay a third rail on its Farmington branch from Durango to Farmington, a distance of sixty miles. Authentic reports to this effect leaked out following a trip of inspection of the branch line and the new oil fields by the railroad officials. This would eliminate one transfer of freight in Durango by permitting narrow gauge cars being hauled clear to Farmington. At present the branch from Durango to Farmington is standard gauge, and all railroad shipments for that section must be transferred here from narrow to standard gauge cars. The standard gauge engines are equipped with two couplers so they can be attached to both standard and narrow gauge cars. The third rail would be laid between the two standard gauge rails at the proper distance.
Denver.—Alfred Schaffer, 34 years old; Dan Webster, 30 years old; and Miss Bonnie Mason, 23 years old, were returned to the city jail at Denver a few days ago from Winslow, Ariz., by Detectives Lowe and Cook.

The two men, according to Captain of Detectives Washington Rinker, are wanted here for jumping bond of $2,000 in connection with their trial for the alleged robbery of the Williams Stores Company at West Eighth avenue and Santa Fe drive.

Fort Collins.—A municipal recreation area has just been set apart for the city of Fort Collins by the Forest Service on the Upper Poudre river, embracing an area of 40 acres. While this still remains a part of the Colorado National Forest, it is reserved and dedicated to the purposes of a recreation area for the city, upon which will be placed improvements costing in the neighborhood of $36,000. It is the plan of Fort Collins to develop this into an ideal mountain playground.

A FARMER carrying an express package from a big mail-order house was accosted by a local dealer.
"Why didn't you buy that bill of goods from me? I could have saved you the express, and besides you would have been patronizing a home store, which helps pay the taxes and builds up this locality."
The farmer looked at the merchant a moment and then said:

Photographing the Stars.
It has been recently found that photographs of stars down to the sixth magnitude or degree of brightness can be taken in broad daylight, so that astronomical photography need no longer be confined to the night. If the stellar photographs are taken through a deep red screen, the stars appear distinctly.

CONGRESS MEETS NOVEMBER 20TH
CONGRESS MEETS NOVEMBER 20TH
PRESIDENT HARDING'S PROCLA
MATION UPENS CONGRESS
TWO WEEKS EARLY.
CALLS EXTRA SESSION
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WILL CONSIDER MERCHANT MARINE BILL FIRST.
Washington.—Congress has been called by President Harding to meet in extra session Nov. 20, exactly two weeks in advance of the regular session.
The call, set forth as is usual in the form of a proclamation, declared the extra session was made necessary by public interests. The text of the proclamation follows:
"Whereas, public interests require that the Congress of the United States should be convened in extra session at 12 o'clock noon on the twentieth day of November, nineteen twenty-two, to receive such communications as may be made by the executive:
"Now, therefore, I, Warren G. Harding, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim and declare that an extraordinary occasion requires the Congress of the United States to convene in extra session at the capital in the city of Washington on the twentieth day of November, 1922, at 12 o'clock noon, of which all persons who shall at that time be entitled to act as members thereof are hereby required to take notice.
"In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
"Done at the city of Washington this ninth day of November in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-two, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and forty-seventh.
The call of the special session two weeks in advance of the regular meeting has been approved generally by Republican leaders in Congress, who have felt that by getting an earlier start on legislation than would be afforded by the regular session, practically all important bills, including the appropriation measures, could be disposed of by next March 4, when the Sixty-seventh Congress must adjourn sie die.
Although the nature of the President's recommendations to be presented to the extra session when it convenes Nov. 20, have not been definitively outlined, the opinion of Republican leaders has been that the House will proceed directly to consideration of the merchant marine bill. The President agrees to postponement of action on the measure at the last session upon assurance of party leaders that it would be taken up without delay when Congress reconvenes.
While the House itself is working on this bill, its appropriations committee divided into sub-committees, will work on the supply measures which really provide the most important task facing Congress at the regular session.
The Senate has several important measures left over from the last session, including the Byer anti-lynching bill, which has been passed by the House, and it is probable that President Harding will make some definite recommendation at the outset of the session as to changes in the transportation act.
French Send Warship to Turkey.
Paris.—The French government has decided to send another battleship to Turkish waters. Ismet Pasha, foreign minister in the Turkish Nationalist government has informed the allied governments that any delay in holding the Lausanne peace conference would be a disaster, as it would be interpreted by the Angora-assembly and the Kemalist army as a sign of hostility against the Turks and an indication that the allies did not intend to live up to the Mudania armistice conditions.
Grandchildren Get $450,000.
Chicago.—Two Los Angeles grandchildren of the late Dr. Robert D. MacArthur receive the bulk of the $450,000 estate left by the noted physician and surgeon, according to his will which was filed for probate. One trust fund provides $175,000 for Katherine Rankin Campbell and another provides $80,000 fbr Robert MacArthur Campbell, both children of Dr. Robert Campbell of Los Angeles.
Midshipmen Fight Fire on Boat.
Annapolis, Md.—Twenty midshipmen from the United States Naval academy narrowly escaped death when, in a heroic battle against fire, they fought their way up the Cheapeake bay on a sub chaser. It was a battle that will live long in the memories of those who stood on the shore and watched the fight imperiling the academy students until the sub chaser finally was beached on the shore of the naval experimental station.

Members and Friends of Second Baptist Church Surprise Pastor and Wife Halloween Night.
Rev. and Mrs. J. T. Muse received one of the most complete and successful surprise parties Oct. 30th, in the history of their pastorate. The party was given at the home of Deacon and Mrs. Ed. Mansfield, 1610 North street, at which place the Rev. and wife were invited for supper. After supper and in the early part of the evening a goodly number had gotten together and marched in at the door of the Mansfield home singing and with their arms full of all kinds of groceries and good things to eat, including a purse of several dollars, all for the pastor and wife. They declared that this was one of the most complete surprises that they had ever had. The party was suggested by Mrs. W. M. Howard a few days before it was to come off, and through the co-operation of Mrs. Ed. Mansfield the party was planned.
At a late hour Rev. and Mrs. Muse loaded up their car and returned to the parsonage, feeling much elated of their surprise. There were some thirty persons who participated in the party.
Second Baptist Church had great service Sunday all day. Covenant meeting in the morning and a large crowd were present to enjoy the great service.
Sunday night the pastor preached a splendid sermon, which stirred the very hearts of his hearers; subject: "Tarry Ye Here and Watch With Me." Matt. 26:38. Mr. Ed. Mansfield, the chairman of the trustee board, asked that everybody would give as the Lord has prospered them that he might order in a supply of wood and fuel for the church. The total collection for the day was $46.25.
Every department of the church is doing just fine and everybody seems to be in the best of spirit.
Rev. and Mrs. Muse were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Gaither at a wild duck dinner last Wednesday.
Deacon J. C. Corbett shipped out a carload of paper and other material last week.

OUR GOVERNOR-ELECT.
THE ELECTORS of Colorado having decided by their votes on last Tuesday that Mr. William E. Sweet is to be entrusted with the reins of our state government for the years 1923-24, and as all broad-minded citizens should take it in good part when they are defeated in a cause, the COLORADO STATESMAN, being in that category, plainly declare its loyalty to the state in giving its assistance to the working out of a program beneficial to the citizens of Colorado In all our editorials during the campaign we advised against individual petty strife, abuse, mud-slinging, innuendo and anything else that would savour of challenging the integrity of any candidate for office, as we have always argued that the mere running for political office or honors should not merit insult or condemnation of the individual, and therefore we could not see the help coming to our Republican party by news journals or other agencies who delighted in so doing. However, it is never too late to learn the lessons taught in the great school of Experience, and we are sure some one will profit.
The fact of Republican strongholds like El Paso and Boulder counties, making such a poor showing in the election returns for governor, and Pueblo returning four Democrats to the Legislature, goes to show that a party disorganized in a number of counties has but little chance to win, and in the words of Chairman Hugh B. Woodward of the Republican state central committee of New Mexico, when he said, "We have no desire to detract from the Democratic victory. Defeated but not dismayed, we are now beginning to reorganize for 1924," the slogan that we offer to the Republican party of Colorado at this time is: "Start right now the instruction of the people in present-day politics, bearing in mind that our electorate consists of thinkers and doers, and present such platforms to the people as will meet the requirements of the psychological moment. Now that the fact is established that Mr. Sweet is elected to the high position of chief executive of the state of Colorado, the COLORADO STATESMAN offers its best wishes for a successful administration and promises every support for anything that will be beneficial to the public.
AN OASIS IN THE DESERT.
THE 1922 election returns furnished some complete surprises and more especially in the East, where the Democratic party swept everything before it. In most of the instances where huge majorities were rolled up for a given candidate the Volstead act was made the issue. Light wines and beer were the slogans used in many eastern states, and there can be no denying that the wets made considerable headway. The chief wet victories were recorded in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and in mock derision of the Volstead act itself, the author of it, Congressman Volstead, was defeated for re-election. Encouraged by these significant victories, announcement is made that the wets plan on a more intensive battle from now on, and every possible assault will be made upon the Volstead law before the next election. Evidently the revolt is on. War-time prohibition has served its purpose, if it has not outlived its usefulness. There is a rift in the lute that will not be mended. The eighteenth amendment has been played up too strong and the additional provisions of the Volstead act made the measure too drastic. There will never be a return to the saloons. In fact, nobody wants them, but those leaders of the prohibition cause in America had best not presume too far, as patience has its limitations and an added straw may break the camel's back.
ARMISTICE DAY.
DENVER will do well to give the fullest observance to ARMISTICE DAY Saturday, November 11th, in accordance with the proclamation issued by Governor Oliver H. Shoup. We cannot and will not so soon forget that eventful, glorious day on November 11, 1918, when whistles blew and bells rang; when loving mothers prayed and brave men gave away to tears at the glad tidings that the most terrible war in all history had come to a close. From Colorado, as well as from every other state in the Union, hundreds of our boys, the very flower of our glorious manhood, answered the nation's call and entered the terrible world war. Worthy pride filled the hearts of all true Coloradoans, and yet we cannot recall the day of their departure from home and friends without a shudder and feeling of horror. True, they entered upon a righteous cause, and by their supreme loyalty displayed a heroism that commanded both our pride and deepest admiration. Many of them left the American shores never to return again; many suffered pangs even worse than death. To each and all our just homage is due, and the hearts of all our people should swell with thankfulness and joy that a day has been set aside once each year that we may properly commemorate their deeds of daring.
ARMISTICE DAY is infinitely more than a milestone in the life of the present generation; it is, and shall ever remain, an epocal period in the life of America, whose splendid contribution of fearless, faithful soldiers to the armies of the world made Armistice Day possible. It is well, then, that civic organizations everywhere, that churches and schools should arrange appropriate services which will recall the glories of those eventful days and pay unselfish tribute to those to whom we owe so lasting an obligation. America is not a land of hero worship, but we perform merely a simple duty in thus honoring the valor and loyalty of our soldier boys who went forth that the liberties of mankind the world over should be more sacred and inviolable. It is eminently in keeping with the eternal fitness of things that this great day of days should come in the month of Thanksgiving. Our songs of praise and prayers of thanks for the material blessings of life strangely coming by with our anxiety and anguish of soul for those of our loved ones.
We are reminded by the very significance of this day that many sleep their last sleep on Flanders field. Looking to this side or that we behold an otherwise robust young man with an empty sleeve or minus some other limb. Myriad recuperation camps and rehabilitation schools and hospitals bear mute testimony to the living inferno through which our loved ones passed. But it is not alone a contemplation of the sordid and horrible that should make Armistice Day an enduring institution. Rather must it serve as an inspiration to every American citizen worthy of the name, an inspiration for a love of the righteous and just, for a larger freedom, for personal and religious liberty accruing in equal proportion to all abiding beneath the folds of the American flag.
By EMERSON HOUGH. Interview in Denver
Yesterday I went for an automobile ride into the mountains and I stood at the top of the hills looking out across the prairie, and it just occurred to me what that same trip and view meant to our fathers. In a few short minutes I had been swept there in luxury and ease and was looking out over the plains where our fathers crawled slowly for days at such an awful expense of labor and blood.
J. H.
You know, my father freighted across the plains in 1859, before there was any Denver, when this was just the Cherry creek diggings, and now I, his son, am staying in a luxurious hotel in the midst of a model city where he found a few rough huts pitched on the prairie. Time flies.
Much of the material which I used in "The Covered Wagon" I had from him, incidents like the fording of the Platte, and they were drawn from actual incidents of his Cherry creek trip.
I don't like to talk about my own work, but it was the most satisfactory thing I have ever done, to me personally. It discovered to me that there is a strong backbone of native Americans in this country, worshiping the deeds of their fathers and with a strong reverence for the pioneer ideals and traditions. The answer to the book was the most surprising thing I have ever seen, and I can die happy for having lived to see it.
George Horace Lorimer, editor of the Saturday Evening Post, objected to the title. He said to me, "Hough, that title, 'The Covered Wagon' is old stuff. It might have been all right thirty years ago, but they have forgotten all about covered wagons now—everyone drives a car. Make it 'Pikes Peak or Bust' or some slogan like that."
Forgotten! Why, the title carried half the story, just because it was in a covered wagon that grandfather or Aunt Bessie or somebody came across the plains. That pioneering tradition is rooted fast in nearly every American family and they are proud of it. While it lasts we need have no fear for our country—all h—I can't shake it.
Because America Has Been the Haven of Refuge to the Disinherited
By SAMUEL WEST, Prose Essay, Denver Community Contest.
I became an American citizen for the opportunity to be a citizen of the greatest republic in the world and to help constitute government of the people, by the people and for the people.
Because by becoming an American citizen I realized for the first time in my life that men are created equal by being endowed with the rights and privileges guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States to rich and poor alike.
Because it is a mark of distinction to be a citizen of a country which has progressed more in science, invention and industry in the one hundred and forty-six years of its independence than any other country in the world.
Because America has always maintained that right is might and has always been of service to the world, maintaining that the badge of service is the badge of sovereignty.
Because America has been the haven of refuge to the disinherited, the oppressed, the suffering and the submerged.
Because its symbols are the law and torch;
Not the sword to threaten slaughter;
Not the flame to dazzle and scorch,
But a light that the world may see
And the truth that shall set men free.
Disrespect for Law—Unwillingness to Abide by the Laws of the Land
By SENATOR I. L. LENROOT of Wisconsin.
If this great republic of ours, in which civilization has found its highest expression, shall some day fall and occupy only a page in history, like the ancient republics of Greece and Rome, it will be because of disrespect for laws, indifference to the fundamental rights of liberty, and through such indifference failure to enact and enforce laws, without which there can be neither liberty nor security for our people.
Today our greatest national problem is not foreign entanglements, nor the tariff, not transportation, or other problems which we deem important, but it is disrespect for law—unwillingness to abide by the laws of the land.
Some men try to justify this disrespect for law upon the plea that the laws are unjust. But to permit every man to decide for himself whether a law is just or not, and not be bound by, it if he believes it unjust, spells anarchy and ruin. There must be implanted in the hearts of the men and women of America the determination that the laws must be obeyed, and the man who excuses or makes light of violation of law is himself guilty. The deliberate violator of law is an enemy of the republic and is not worthy of citizenship in it.
Constitutional Amendment for Federal Control of Marriage and Divorce
By DEAN C. J. HILKE, Drake University Law College.
A national law entirely repealing the common law and providing for the ages of consent, and the publication of the banns a reasonable period before the marriage takes place, together with requirements of health certificates given by a reputable physician, would do much to solve our matrimonial and divorce tangle.
It is possible to be single in one state and married in another. How such national slipshodness can be expected to induce in the young any honor for the institution of marriage is more than I can see. This question of federal control of marriage and divorce has been before the American people for many years; the forty-eight states have practically forty-eight different views of the subject.
Under our present system, without an unwarranted extension of the powers of congress by construction, the federal government does not have jurisdiction over marriage and divorce within the states.
Therefore a constitutional amendment giving congress such power will have to be adopted, and the sooner this is done the better it will be for our national welfare.

An indoor picnic, which in all its finished details, held a close resemblance to the old time county fair, with a full bevy of street barkers, fakirs, fortune tellers, lolly-pops and confetti, was the manner in which they entertained their friends. A very large crowd attended and the boys proved themselves royal hosts.

A REGRETTABLE TRAGEDY.
At the very height of interest attending upon election activities Tuesday afternoon the residents of the Five Points district were thrown into a fever of excitement by a rapid succession of pistol shots that culminated in one of the bloodiest tragedies ever committed in Denver. Walter Jones, better known as "Curley" throughout the city, killed two women, wounded another perhaps fatally, wounded two patrolmen, and finally shot himself, at
2443 Tremont place late Tuesday.
Jones died instantly.
Shoots Landlady.
Jones first shot Mrs. Holmes Wilson, his landlady, in the hall of the house; then his cousin, Lulu Jones, also a roomer at Wilson's, who died at the county hospital later, and Mrs. Wilson's daughter, Mrs. Pauline Berry, who apparently was wounded when she attempted to enter the house. She is at the county hospital, and may recover.
George Holmes, 22, son of Mrs. Wilson, heard the shooting, found his mother lying dead, and followed by a volley of Jones' bullets, ran screaming into the street.
Meanwhile, neighbors had called the police, who quickly arrived armed with rifles and tear-gas bombs, and laid seige to the place.
For nearly half an hour, Jones held about seventy-five officers at bay with a steady fire of shots through the front door. Gradually, by hiding behind autos and trees, the small army of policemen closed in on the house, and were preparing to bomb Jones with tear gas, when, realizing himself trapped, he turned the gun on himself.
One of the bullets glanced the head of Patrolman Rudolph Herman, resulting in a slight scalp wound; another went through the hand of Patrolman Cyrus Mann.
When Chief Williams, Capt. Hanebuth and Patrolman E. A. Garnett finally forced an entrance they found Mrs. Wilson and Jones dead, and the Jones girl dying. She and Mrs. Berry were taken to the county hospital, where she died in a few hours, and Mrs. Berry has less than a fighting chance to recover.
CHAS. S. GILPIN GUEST OF THE DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION AT NOTABLE DINNER.
CHAS S. GILPIN, noted Negro actor and accounted one of the greatest actors of any race upon the American stage recently, closed a week of glory and triumph in Denver last Saturday as the guest of honor at a notable banquet tendered him by the Denver Colored Civic Association. Thirty guests, representing many lines of professional business and political activity in Denver, sat down to a beautifully adorned table at the Fairbanks Café at the close of the Mr. Gilpin's last performance at the Broadway last Saturday night. Major Thos. Campbell, president of the club, acted as toastmaster and paid a glowing tribute to the honored guest as a man more in fact an "Emperor" in his given line than many realized. Maj. Campbell was in a happy mood and introduced each speaker with crisp witticisms that kept the dinner party in an uproar of laughter. Eloquent and messy addresses were received by Messrs. Leroy J. Perkins, Geo. W. Gross, Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, Victor B. Walker and A. G. Froman. Mr. Gilpin responded in apt manner and told his hearers that "Emperor Jones," as portrayed by him, was but a type of the garrulous, grasping, unscrupulous character to be found in all walks of life. He stated that a minister of the gospel, who placed needless burdens upon his congregation, or a conscienceless politician or soulless corporation were types of "Emperor Jones" to be found in all cities and countries. Dr. Gideon, a Jewish citizen and dramatic critic for the Rocky Mountain News, closed the program by an earnest plea for equality of opportunity and justice for all races of people. Mr. Gilpin's stay in Denver developed into something more than merely filling an important theatrical engagement. He became a civic factor while here and was called upon to address the students of East Denver High school, a Jewish society and several other civic bodies. The newspapers of the city were more than generous in their treatment of Mr. Gilpin.

CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank the many friends for their kindness, words of consolation and beautiful floral offerings during the illness and death of my beloved son, Howard McGinnis, who passed away October 27; sadly missed by mother and sisters.
MRS. T. H. McGINNIS.
MR. ROBT. MAXWELL DEAD.
THE CITIZENS of Denver were in expressibly shocked last Friday when word went out that Robt. Maxwell, a much respected pioneer of Denver, had fallen, sticken in death early in the morning. The shock was all the greater because of the fact that only the day and night before he was around among his friends in his usual jovial manner and looking the very picture of health. "Chink," as he was affectionately known from one end of the country to the other, was one of those good-natured, big-hearted fellows who command friends by the legion. No man even saw him without that broad smile upon his face. Intensely loyal in his friendships, generous to a fault, strewing the path of life with flowers and sunshine, he gave in far greater proportion than he received of the good things of earth. THE COLORADO STATESMAN always counted him as one of its most intimate friends and we state without hesitation that we admired him for the many manly qualities we knew him to possess, and we believe that the world and humanity is the better for his having lived.
The funeral was held at Zion Baptist Church Wednesday and the very large attendance and beautiful floral offerings testify as to the esteem in which he was held by all. Rev. David E. Over, who had known "Chink" from boyhood, feelingly conducted the funeral services.

"Dead Letter Sales" a Popular Sport
WASHINGTON.—Two instruments which, it is declared, will revolutionize the art of coast defense, are being exhibited in the ordnance department here, and later will be installed at Panama to control the fire of the big guns in the canal defenses.
The instruments comprise a system of ranging and following a moving enemy ship. They are operated electrically and adjusted automatically. They add, substruct, multiply, divide and make allowance for many factors controlling the flight of a big shell. Visitors to the larger coast defense stations often wonder how it is possible for the gunners to hit a ship with a five or six-foot projectile shot from
UNCLE SAM and the Western Union Telegraph company, which was damaged to the extent of a quarter of a million dollars by a sunspot in May of last year, are now developing a system of precautions against sunspots like that of the mariner and farmer against the weather.
The sunspots shower the earth with excess electrical current, producing the electrical storms which now and then paralyzete telegraph, cable and telephone service. Arrangements have been made with the United States Naval observatory for a regular bulletin service on the condition of sunspots. Whenever a new one appears on the rim of the sun and starts to move around where it will be in a position to volley the earth with electrical showers, notice is sent from the observatory to the Western Union officials. In return for this service the Western Union is preparing to collect information on a large scale on electrical currents, their strength and direction, and their apparent connection with sunspots.
Sunspots occur in eleven-year cycles. The present year is near the middle of the cycle, or in the period when the sunspots are fewest. Last year was a time when few sunspots were normal-
AVE you ever seen the sun's spots? Have you ever seen demonstrated Foucault's celebrated pendulum experiment to prove the rotation of the earth? Have you ever watched the antics of minute infusorians swimming in water?
With the completion of the new home of the National Academy of Sciences at Washington, these things will be a regular part of the interesting exhibits open to the public.
It is hoped to have the building completed by the fall of 1923. It will be located near the recently dedicated Lincoln memorial and will be three stories high. The first floor will be given over to the public and museum purposes, where many scientific facts will be demonstrated. The two upper floors will be devoted to offices. The main demonstration feature will
ATTENDING "dead letter sales" is popular sport in Washington. A local auction house is crowded to the doors when the government puts up at auction an accumulation of several months' unclaimed and unmailable parcel-post matter. Some people have an idea that a dead letter sale is conducted along lottery lines. A glimpse into the auction room would bear out this impression. No other goods are in sight. The auctioneer, high above the crowd, is rattling off as fast as he can: "Lot number twelve—at $5, at $5, at $7; yours for $7, Mr Brown."
so, at $; yours for $; Mr. Brown.
Then without a pause for breath, the auctioneer is reeling off the next number and calling for bids. The bidders in the crowd are closely following the sale by their catalogues, but these give only the most general description of each lot of goods. Apparently they are buying in the dark. This is not the case, however. The day before the sale the articles to be sold are on display. Long rows of packing boxes with alsles between them range the length of the auction room. Each box contains one lot of goods. Scarcely any articles are disposed of singly at these sales when
a gun 70 or 80 feet in length, when the enemy is as far off as 30 miles. In the days of the Civil war when small cannon shot from balls weighing 15 or 20 pounds, the range was usually point blank, the enemy ship loomed large as a target and the gun-pointer sighted by gazing along the barrel. These two new instruments are called the target computer and battery computer. They are directed by two high-powered telescopes located at fixed observation stations in the vicinity of the harbor defense. Or sighting an enemy ship the observations are transmitted electrically to the two calculating instruments, where the exact location of the enemy ship is computed.
These new instruments, the fruit of several years' constant work and experiment, predict the advance location of the moving enemy, make allowances for the temperature of powder, type of shell, atmospheric pressure, direction and velocity of the wind and the drift of the shell caused by the big gun's rifling.

ly due, so that the sunspot, or cluster of spots, which caused the great electrical storm on May 19, 20 and 21, was quite unexpected. It is only since telegraph and telephone wires and cables have been in use that electrical storms of this type have made any great difference to human beings, so that records of them have been meager, but that of last year is by far the worst that ever occurred, when measured by damage to electrical apparatus.
It burned out fuses and short-circuited apparatus all over this country, caused fires in Europe, and probably caused one in a railroad yard in Washington. It damaged cables so badly that the Western Union had to send out a repair shop to put them in good order.

SEEK PLAN TO END LABOR TROUBLES
PRESIDENT HARDING AND HIS
CABINET ARE CONSIDERING
MANY SUGGESTIONS.
ACTION BY CONGRESS LIKELY
Abolishing of Railway Labor Board and Enactment of Legislation Like Canada's Industrial Disputes Investigation Law Proposed.
By JAMES P. HORNADAY
BY JAMES P. HORNADAY
Washington—President Harding and members of his cabinet are giving careful consideration to many suggestions as to how the country may obtain a larger measure of freedom from labor troubles. It is the present intention of the President, it is well understood, to discuss some of the more pertinent of these suggestions in his address to congress in December. There is apparently a general demand throughout the country that congress shall write into the law of the land some new plan for settling disputes between capital and labor. It is a question whether much can be done with the subject at the short session which will begin in December and end on March 4. In some quarters there is already talk of an extra session next spring, which would be devoted entirely to the subject of industrial peace.
There is a somewhat insistent demand that the administration shall favor legislation providing for compulsory arbitration, but it is reasonably certain that the administration will not lend its endorsement to such a program. Even if the executive department should advocate compulsory arbitration, it is a question, it is asserted, whether congress could be persuaded to follow the leadership of the President. As the situation presents itself at this time, two outstanding proposals are being considered.
1. The repent of the provisions of the transportation act of 1920, under which the railroad labor board was created.
2. The enactment of legislation providing for some such plan as is in operation in Canada—the enactment of an industrial disputes investigation law.
Stands by the Labor Board.
Thus far the Harding administration has not indicated that it has lost faith in the railroad labor board. To the contrary, the President has said publicly on several occasions during the last two months that he felt that the board had justified its existence. Supporters of the railroad labor board not only would not like it abolished, but would like to see its powers broadened and see it removed to Washington and set down alongside the interstate commerce commission. It is certain, however, that the board will be a real issue before congress when that body proceeds to the consideration of legislation relating to industrial disputes.
When the transportation legislation was before congress early in 1920, many good things were said about the Canadian plan for settling labor troubles, but the organized workingmen in the United States were not ready at that time to accept the Canadian law, and so congress dropped that plan and set up the railroad labor board. The situation has undergone a change. Organized workingmen in the United States, and particularly organized railroad employees, are now very generally inclined to look with favor on the Canadian plan, so it is asserted.
Canadian Law Liked.
One of the arguments now being put forth in support of Canada's law is that the shopmen employed in Canada by international railroads—railroads that have part of their mileage in the United States and part in Canada—did not strike when their union brethren in the United States quit work. The international railroads of Canada reduced the wages of their shopmen, but instead of striking the shopmen applied for boards of inquiry and conciliation under the industrial disputes act. This machinery has thus far prevented any walkouts on the Canadian railroads.
Under the Canadian law a board is appointed for each individual dispute. It consists of three members, one named by the employees directly concerned, one by the company, and the third, if these two shall fail to agree, by the government. The awards of these boards are not compulsory. After the award under the Canadian law has been made, either side may refuse to accept it. But it is asserted that the law has maintained industrial peace throughout Canada since it was enacted; and the law has of course had its trial through the after-the-war reconstruction period—a period that has produced many labor troubles in Canada and elsewhere.
It is certain that when congress convenes, either in special session in November or in regular session in December, there will be a flood of bills proposing ways for settling strikes. The administration is obviously ambitious to have a program of its own—a program that will appeal to the country and to congress. It is with this in mind that the President is taking counsel from week to week with whose advice is worth listening to.
More Long-Time Bonds.
The new government bonds will be 30-year bonds, dated October
16, 1922, maturing October 15, 1952, and redeemable at the option of the United States on and after October 15, 1947. The bonds will be issued in both coupon and registered form, in denominations of $100 and upwards. This is a refunding issue, and it affords an opportunity to holders of 4% per cent Victory notes to acquire a long-time government bond in place of Victory notes which will mature or be redeemed within the next few months. On April 30, 1921, when the treasury first announced its refunding program, the gross public debt, on the basis of daily treasury statements, amounted to about $24,000,000,000, of which over $7,500,000,000 was maturing within about two years. On September 30, 1922, the total gross debt on the same basis stood about $22,800,000,000, and of the early maturing debt about $4,000,000,000 had already been retired or refunded, chiefly into short-term treasury notes with maturities spread over the next four fiscal years.
There will fail due this fiscal year about $1,100,000,000 of treasury certificates of indebtedness, about $625,000,000 maturity value of war savings certificates of the series of 1918, and about $1,800,000,000 Victory notes. Of the treasury certificates, about $48,000,000 represents Pittman act certificates which will be retired this year through the recolonage of silver bullion; while about $100,000,000 of loan certificates, maturing October 16, 1922, will be paid out of funds already in hand. The retirement of these certificates will leave only tax certificates outstanding.
New Savings Certificates.
After October 16, 1922, the next maturities fall on December 15, and include about $870,000,000 face amount of $4% per cent Victory notes called for redemption, and about $420,000,000 of maturing tax certificates of series TD and TD2-1922, against which the treasury will receive in December about $250,000,000 of income and profits taxes. On January 1, 1923, $625,000,000 of war savings certificates become payable, but the treasury has already announced a new offering of treasury savings certificates with a view to refunding as much as possible of the maturity into obligations of the same general character and with the same appeal to the needs of the small investor.
The treasury will shortly announce special facilities for the exchange of maturing war savings certificates for the new treasury savings certificates, and plans in this manner to provide for a substantial part of the war savings maturity. The only treasury certificates maturing in the second half of the fiscal year 1923, are about $266,000,000 on March 15, 1923, and about $273,000,000 on June 15, 1923, both of which are covered by the income and profits tax payments estimated for those dates. On May 20, 1923, the remaining $930,000,000 of 4% per cent Victory notes will mature.
The maturities which remain and have to be refunded, the treasury will meet through issues of refunding securities, properly adjusted to market conditions, and Secretary Mellon believes it will be able to meet them without disturbance to the markets and without strain on the financial machinery.
Market Hasn't Been Disturbed.
During the course of the refunding operations which have been in progress, the treasury has issued from time to time treasury certificates of indebtedness, treasury notes and treasury savings certificates, all relatively short term. These operations have been successful and have been accomplished without disturbance to the market for outstanding securities. With the announcement of the bonds now offered, the treasury is adding to its list a refunding issue of long-time bonds. These bonds will provide through exchanges and otherwise, for a substantial part of heavy maturities falling on December 15, and the success of the offering will leave only a normal amount of financing to be placed on that date.
It is four years since the treasury has offered to the people of the United States an issue of long-time government bonds. During that period it has been financing itself on a short-term basis, and it has succeeded in placing with investors throughout the country a great volume of treasury certificates and treasury notes. The whole situation in regard to Liberty bonds and Victory bonds which the American people purchased so generously during the war has shown great improvement within the last few months. The treasury department is of the opinion that there is small likelihood of these bonds ever going below par again, and says that undoubtedly a great many persons who sold their holdings of these bonds when their value was depressed now regret that action.
Prevention of Goitre.
Goitre seems to be prevalent in some sections and it now seems that its ravages may be easily prevented. "Simple goitre is the easiest of all diseases to prevent," wrote Doctor Marine, the great specialist in this disease, some time ago. Iodine is known to be necessary to the normal function of the thyroid gland. Goitre is an expression of deficiency of iodine in the thyroid, and the elaborate experiments made recently by Dr. O. P. Kimball on the school children of Akron, O., furnish conclusive evidence that administering a minute quantity of iodine every day acts as a preventative in such regions where goitre prevails.

Cabbage
(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)
Sometimes a housekeeper finds she has everything necessary for a salad except the lettuce. In such a case the United States Department of Agriculture suggests that finely shredded cabbage, either red or white, will answer for the "bed" for the salad, or that any cooked or canned vegetables, as well as many fresh ones, may be served with salad dressing without the customary lettuce leaf. Fresh celery is an appetizing addition to most salads when it can be obtained, but it is not necessary. Cabbage for use as a salad foundation should be finely shredded, not chopped, and put in cold water for about an hour to become crisp. Canned vegetables should always be heated to the boiling point and then cooled before using in salad.
Different Salad Dressings.
There are three basic salad dressings of which most other dressings are adaptations. The following recipes are tested and recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture.
French Dressing
8 tablespoonfuls oil ½ teaspoonful salt
1 tablespoonful vinegar ¼ teaspoonful peper
Cayenne Paprika
Blend the oil with the seasonings and add the vinegar slowly. French dressing may be made in quantities, kept in a cold place and stirred or shaken in a bottle vigorously when needed. French dressings are preferable for dinner salads.
Vinalgrette sauce is made by adding to French dressing a teaspoonful each of chopped capers, olives, parsley and small cucumber pickles.
Mayonnaise Dressing.
1 egg 2 tablespoonfuls
1 teaspoonful musl vinegar
tard 2 cupfuls oil
½ teaspoonful salt Cayenne
Place the egg, mustard, salt, cayenne and vinegar in a bowl. Beat well with a Dover egg beater till thoroughly blended, then add one tablespoonful of the oil and beat again. Continue adding the oil gradually until one cup-
COOK CUTS OF BEEF IN APPETIZING WAY
Less Gas Needed for Stews Than for Broiling.
Some Dishes Are Not in Favor Because of Haphazard Manner in Which They Are Prepared—Much Meat Is Wasted.
(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)
With a properly regulated flame, less gas is needed to prepare a stew or a tongue or to "boll" (simmer) a piece of corned beef, or other cheaper cuts of beef that is required to broil a thick steak properly, says the United States Department of Agriculture.
Stews.
Meat stews are not in great favor. This may be because they are so often prepared in a haphazard way. Try selecting lean beef from the neck, brisket, the shoulder clod, or the heel of the round and making a brown stew. Cut the beef into inch cubes. Season each piece, dredge thoroughly with flour, and brown on all sides in a frying pan using suet or drippings. Avoid having too much fat. Then add just enough hot water to cover the pieces and when this has boiled up once pour all into a double boiler and cook for three hours. The gravy may need to be thickened at the last with a little flour. Serve with baked potatoes, plain cooked rice, or hot biscuits.
Boiled Beef.
Strictly speaking, no meat is ever cooked satisfactorily by being actually boiled in water. To prepare so-called "boiled" beef, plunge the meat into boiling water to harden the surface a little and prevent too rapid an escape of the juices. Finish the cooking by simmering, allowing plenty of time for the process.
Corned Beef
Too often corned beef is served underdone and a great deal of good meat is wasted because of this. Try cooking a piece of corned beef by simmering it in a liberal amount of water for from three to six hours according to the cut. The water in this case should be cold when the process is begun. Beef tongue and heart are also much better when cooked by simmering for several hours or until thoroughly tender. And one of the tougher cuts of beef may be prepared satisfactorily if well
ful has been used, then add in larger amounts.
Mayonnaise is liked for luncheon or supper salads, where the salad is the principal dish or is preceded by a very light course. It is considered too rich to be appropriate for a hearty dinner.
Boiled Dressing.
1½ tablespoonful flour
1/4 to 1/2 tablespoon
fult salt
1/2 tablespoonful
sugar
1 teaspoonful mus-
tard
1/4 cupful vinegar
1½ tablespoonfuls Yolks 2 eggs
sugar 1½ tablespoonfuls
1 teaspoonful mustard melted butter
% cupful milk
% cupful vinegar
Mix dry ingredients, add yolks of eggs slightly beaten, butter, milk, vinegar very slowly. Cook in a double boiler until it thickens. Strain and cool. This dressing is useful in a family where oil is not liked. Sweet or sour cream may be used instead of milk.
Many of the cooked vegetables, such as carrots, peas, cabbage, beets, caulflower*, kohlrabi, or Jerusalem artichokes make a good salad when served cold, either alone or in combination with celery, or with several other vegetables; canned string beans, asparagus, beets, peas, peppers and okra all lend themselves well to use in salads. Asparagus is particularly good when served hot with hot vinaigrette sauce described above.
Soup meat, which is often discarded because it has little flavor, still contains much nourishment. If cut in pieces and mixed with a hot vinaigrette sauce it makes an excellent luncheon or supper salad. When cold it is good in sandwiches.
Fish and meat salads are almost complete meals. Cottage cheese salad with mayonnaise dressing is an improvement to many vegetable and also to fruit salads. A spoonful may be served on one side of the salad, or it may be mixed with chopped nuts and mayonnaise and made into balls for garnishing.
When one considers that the salad list also includes oranges, berries, bananas, either fresh or canned peaches and pears, and other available fruits, it is easy to see that the number of possible combinations is endless.
seasoned, browned in a little fat, placed in a covered casserole or roaster and cooked slowly for some hours. A little water should be added to keep the meat moist.
It should be remembered that it is the long cooking at a low temperature that brings success in the preparation of the tougher cuts of meat.
MONEY SAVED MAKING TAPE
Many "Tricks of the Trade" Taught in Home Dressmaking Classes—Idea of Iowa Woman.
There are many little "tricks of the trade" taught in home dressmaking classes conducted by extension workers, which are much appreciated by mothers who must also learn how to economize in every way. One such trade practice of value in home-sewing is the making of bias tape. An Iowa woman found she could make 46 yards of bias tape from a yard of 36-inch material. She picked up three remnants of gingham and percale, each piece a yard long, and at a cost of 48 cents and a time investment of 45 minutes made 104 yards of tape which was one-half to three-quarters inch wide when finished.

food that ocean carries, for one may may many delicious dishes prepared from canned food. If you are food of crabs, stuff some peppers bake them.
Fish Pie.—Cook in three tablespoonfuls of fat one sliced green pepper, one small onion, sliced fine, and three tablespoonfuls of minced mushrooms. When all are well browned remove them from the fat and add three tablespoonfuls of flour, one and one-half cupfuls of chicken stock and one teaspoonful of salt. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens, then add one cupful of fish, salmon, scallops, crab meat, shrimp or lobster. If the scallops are used, cook in the chicken stock until they shrivel, add the other ingredients, put into small baking dishes lined with mashed potato, then cover each with mashed potato and brown in the oven. Serve from the dishes in which they are baked.
Scallop Chowder.—Melt two tablespoonfuls of salt pork fat in a saucepan; add one small onion, minced very fine; cook two minutes, then add two cupfuls of raw sliced potatoes. Cover with three cupfuls of water and, when the potatoes are tender, add two cupfuls of milk and two cupfuls of minced scallops; when they shrivel add salt and pepper to taste and six soda crackers. In serving, put a cracker in each soup plate.
Sea Food a la Poulette.—Cook six oysters and six clams in their own juice until their edges curl. Melt two tablespoonfuls of fat, add the same measure of flour; mix well and add one-half cupful of milk and one-half cupful of oyster and clam liquor. Stir the sauce until it thickens, then remove from the fire, and when well-cooled stir in the beaten yolk of an egg. Serve with toast points.
Stuffed Tomatoes.—Fill tomato cups with chopped onion and cucumber well seasoned with a rich dressing.
Blessed are they whose furniture is inexpensive or so shabby that the children and dogs are not excluded from its sacred precincts.—Henry C. Merwin.
FOOD FOR THE FAMILY
Coconut is a good food for most people whose digestion is in good working order, but for small children it should be given very seldom, if at all. A bit of coconut added to a salad, a dish of sliced oranges, a pudding sauce and a cake iceing or filling adds much to both its appearance and flavor.
COFFEE
If you have never tried a small amount of coconut with a salmon salad you will have something to look forward to. Sprinkled over the top of cup custards, or added to a custard pie just before going into the oven, makes a very dalynt dish of an otherwise ordinary one. A half-cupful stirred into the gingerbread, or mixed with apple and celery, with a bit of red pepper, for a salad, makes a variety.
Coconut Orange Budding. — Take one-half cupful of bread crumbs, one-quarter of a cupful of milk, one-third of a cupful of orange juice, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, one-half cupful of coconut, one tablespoonful of vanilla and one egg. Mix the bread, milk, sugar and orange juice with the beaten yolk. Beat the white until stiff and fold it in. Flavor with vanilla or with the grated rind of the orange; bake in small molds set in hot water. Serve with orange sauce. Coconut biscuits are very dainty for tea; add a half-cupful of coconut to a drop of biscuit dough.
Coconut Duchess Potatoes.—Take three cupfuls of hot mashed potatoes, three egg yolks, six tablespoonfuls of milk, one-quarter teaspoonful of pepper, one teaspoonful of salt and the three egg whites, with one-half cupful of coconut. Add the egg yolks, beaten, to the potato; the other ingredients in order given, and finish with the coconut and egg whites folded in lightly. Bake until firm in a well-greased baking dish set in hot water. Serve from the baking dish.
Gloucester Club Sandwich.—Toast two slices of bread on one side and cut into triangles. Spread each un- toasted side with anchovy paste, mixed with salad dressing, then add a lettuce leaf, a layer of tuna fish and two slices of bacon and two slices of fresh tomato; spread with salad dressing.
Coconut Macaroons.—Take one cupful each of coconut, corn flakes and sugar, the whites of two eggs, two tablespoonfuls of flour, a bit of salt and a teaspoonful of vanilla. Beat the egg whites; add the sugar lightly, then the corn flakes, coconut and flour; flavor and drop by spoonfuls on a baking sheet. Makes 25.
