THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY KELLY MILLER SUGGESTS CALL OF CONFERENCE Religious, Political and Social Organizations Urged to Unite on National Program. "If We Continue to Pull Apart, We Will Pull to Pieces," Says Educator. VOL. XXIX. KELLY MILLER SUCK CARE Religious, Political and Soc Unite on Nati VOTE IS A "If We Continue to Pull App Says E WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 3.—A call for a nation-wide conference of all the religious, social and political organizations among colored people is suggested by Dean Kelly Miller: of Howard University in a statement issued this week. Dean Miller says: The demand for a nation-wide conference is imperative. This conference should not be fostered by any one organization, but every type of agency or interest now at work should unite upon a call to consider "The State of the Race." Political movements such as the N. A. A. C. P., the Equal Rights League, the Lincoln League, the Race Congress; religious bodies like the National Baptist Convention, the African Methodist Episcopal, the A. M. E. Zion, the C. M. E. and the M. E. Churches, as well as those of smaller numbers; business and economic agencies like the Business League, the Urban League; educational associations, fraternal organizations, the Federation of Women's Clubs, the Press Association, and all well established movements of wide ramification should be represented. The time has come for all to pull together. If we continue to pull apart, we will pull to pieces. The whole is greater than any of its parts. The members of the body can never co-operate properly unless they become consciously subordinated to the welfare of the body as a whole. It may be just as well to anticipate the objection that several such abortive attempts have been made before. While no one of these efforts has been permanent each endeavor has left a residuum of lasting good. The race today has more maturity and sound judgment than ever before. Many will recall the effort of Mr. Joel E. Spingarn at a race conference at his summer home. If an alien to the group saw the necessity of formulating a common program, surely we must heed the self call to conference. Cannot Be Carried Further by Whites. The Negro can no longer look to the white man for intimate advice and direction. No one outside of a group can regulate the intimate procedure for the inside. The white philanthropists have done a good part. The people who must be helped forever are not worthy of being helped at all. Self expression on part of the Negro will encourage our white friends to extend the necessary assistance. But they can not be expected to carry him on their shoulders any further. The Negro henceforth must walk with his own legs. The white man can only furnish him a crutch. Lynching and lawlessness of which the Negro is the chief victim, the shift of population, congestion in cities and the acute situation resulting therefrom, the moral aloofness and religious indifference of the adducted classes, the downward moral tendency of the times in which our young people are being carried away, the necessity for co-operation in business and trade, the growing apathy of the white race and the need for concerted endeavor to stem the tide all unite in demanding the proposed conference at an early date. The situation calls loudly for the requisite race statesmanship. Will it be forthcoming? Lo, I have made the suggestion and invite correspondence and suggestion. "All who are in favor, signify by salying I." (Signed) KELLY MILLER, Howard University. $5,000 Gift for Children's Clinic To Be Established for Negro Children at Wheatley- Provident Hospital. Kansas City, Mo.—Through the efforts and initiative of Dr. Richardson, the founder and presiding genius of Mercy hospital, there is given $5,000 which is to go to carry on among the Negro children at Wheatley-Provident hospital exactly the same work for children as has made Mercy hospital internationally famous. Some time ago Dr. Richardson told Dr. J. E. Perry that she wished to get such a sum to begin the work among unfortunate colored children. The color was an incident, the care and correction of physical defects was a duty, and she felt impelled to see that the wealth of knowledge gathered at Mercy should be at the disposal of all childhood. She thereupon sought the gift of $5,000. On Thursday she gave out the information that the gift was available. As a result, under Negro doctors and nurses at Wheatley-Provident hospital there will be the same work done which has made Mercy hospital the unique institution of hospital betterment. Mercy hospital will make available all it has, so that the afflicted Negro child will have the best. It is significant of the reputation this Negro hospital, that offers to help from many sources are coming to 1: Its facilities have been worked to the limit, and those who study health matters know that it needs funds and larger equipment to do the work that falls to it, hence the offers. Some day, and not far away, its work will be detailed with a view to interesting the public in its enlargement.—K. C. Call. Colored Woman Has Job in Law Dept Chicago, IL., Jan. 5—Miss Violette N. Anderson was appointed assistant city prosecutor, which took effect January 1, 1923. Miss Anderson is a graduate of North Division High school, Chicago Athenaeum and Chicago Law school. She was admitted to practice in 1919 and is the only colored woman in active practice at the Illinois bar. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, 1923. M. B. GOVERNOR WILLIAM E. SWEET, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE STATE OF COLORADO FOR 1923-24. GOV. WILLIAM E. SWEET, elected last November by the people of Colorado as their governor and inaugurated last Tuesday at the State Capitol, took the oath of office as it was administered by Chief Justice Tully Scott or the Supreme Court, thereby pledging himself to uphold the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of the State of Colorado and to direct the affairs of our commonwealth in such a manner and to the best of his ability to give satisfaction to all. In his message or inaugural address to the Twenty-fourth General Assembly, he discarded the idea of unnecessary opposition along party lines, and believed that the representatives of the people would bend their energy to endorse and secure such legislation as will be fruitive of good for our state. The governor's recommendations for the consideration of the legislature met with favorable reception from spectators, as well as some of the members of the joint assembly, as was evidenced by numerous and long applause, and especially the repeal of the law relative to the State Rangers, which seemed to be heartily approved. Proposals of a state income tax law, retention of the primary law, strict enforcement of the dry law, state aid for farmers, higher license for automobiles, with emphasis for an economic administration, were offered by the governor, and an invitation was extended to members of the legislature to visit and discuss anything beneficial to the Assembly. A plea was made for mutual actions between the chief executive and the people's representatives, the governor being convinced if earnestness and serious thought be given to the duties and responsibilities of the present government, the welfare of the state would be enhanced and there would dawn a greater era of prosperity and peace for our state. THE COLORADO STATESMAN, following in the wake of all good citizens, will support to the best of its ability the present administration, and places its columns at the disposal of the governor and Twenty-fourth General Assembly for that information of their workings which is necessary to the progress and stability of a people and a nation. A VERY SUCCESSFUL ADMINISTRATION IS OUR BEST WISH. New York, Jan. 3.—Dr. W. M. Wilson today filed a counter claim in Supreme Court asking permission to retain a house at 108 and 110 West One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street, which his wife, Mrs. Lelia Walker-Wilson, heir to Mme. C. J. Walker founder of the famous Mme. Walker Company, of Indianapolis, has endeavored to have returned to her through legal action. The counter-claim states that Dr. Wilson wishes to establish a sanitarium in the 136th street house and asked that it be turned over to him free of a mortgage of $15,000 and with $10,000 additional to pay for the remodeling necessary. Mrs. Wilson alleged that her husband purchased the property in his own name with her money and has refused to return either the money or the property to her. The Wilsons have been separated nearly a year and Mrs. Wilson has spent much time abroad. Parkersburg, W. Va., Jan. 4.—Andrew Clark Mennentree, a former slave, today is awaiting receipt of a check for $3,212 from the federal government, which has finally recognized his claim to a pension for the services he rendered the Union army during the Civil war. He also will receive $50 a month for life. "Well, it has been a long time coming," he said when he was asked by the pension agent here to sign the government vouchers. Mennentree was in the service of a family here when the war began. He made several efforts to enlist here, but was unsuccessful. Then he escaped to Ohio and enlisted in a Negro regiment at Dayton, but changed his name. Nine claims for a pension were rejected before he submitted satisfactory proof. Educator Is Dead Bed-ridden Wife Unable to Attend Funeral of J. D. Bowser, K. C.'s First Teacher. J. Dallas Bowser, 77 years old, 2400 Poseo, the writer and educator, died early Monday in his home. He was born in North Carolina in 1846 and came to Kansas City in 1868. His teaching service included one year in Westport Landing (now Kansas City) and eleven years as principal of Lincoln High School and the Attucks Ward school. He also published the Gate City Press, a Negro publication. The growth of Kansas City has had in Mr. Bowser its one most stirring actor from early days down to now. It was just a few days ago he made the trip South with the business men, yet he was the first school teacher here. Besides his activities in a literary way, he was a strong minded man who first insisted that his service to the school system did not deprive him of the right to buy and occupy a home wherever he pleased. The tragedy of his death is the serious illness of Mrs. Bowser. For several years she has been afflicted, and is now confined to bed with paralysis. The deceased was a member of the Presbyterian Church. He was a prominent Mason. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon with John Lange K. of P. and the U. B. F. lodges also represented.—Kansas City Call. WOODLAND, CALIFORNIA, NEWS The Christmas program and Christmas tree that was put on by the Second Baptist Church Sunday School was indeed a splendid affair. The children were trained by Mesdames J. T. Muse and Mary Earl. Superintendent W. J. Keith, on account of the rainy and wet weather, went around in his auto and gathered up the kiddies of the Sunday School and took them to the church for the program and Christmas tree.

Infantry Will Not Be Moved From Fort Benning by War Department. Washington, D. C., Jan. 4.—The 24th Infantry, which was disarmed and otherwise subjected to indignities at Fort Benning, Ga., recently will not be transferred to some other post in the North, the War Department told the Afro-American today. The statement of Adjutant General Davis reads: "The recent transfer of the 24th Infantry was a necessary incident in the reduction of the army as prescribed by Congress and was directed only after careful consideration of the many problems involving the most economical utilization of existing facilities for supply, shelter and training for the entire army within the limit of funds available. It is, therefore, regretted that your suggestion to transfer them to another post cannot receive favorable consideration." Professor Says Race Prejudice Increasing New Haven, Conn., Jan. 5.—Increasing discontent among Negroes was discussed before the American History Professors' Association today by Prof. Holland Thompson of the College of the City of New York. He said changed conditions had given rise to more apparent hostility to Negroes as race north of the Mason and Dixon line than south of it. For years, he said, the Negro had been urged by certain members of his race, backed by white sympathizers, to demand all the rights of citizenship and to oppose every form of segregation and discrimination. "This advice," he continued, "had more effect in the north during the world war than in the south and Negro populations in northern cities more than doubled. Large numbers of Negroes came from the West Indies, and as these latter had not been accustomed to racial discrimination, their resentment influenced the native Negroes in the cities." Prof. Thompson described the encouragement given by Negro publications that Negroes must resist oppression by force, if necessary. In politics, the speaker said, the Negro was beginning to vote as a Negro and not as a member of a political party. Race prejudice, he said, was increasing and not diminishing. In short, he declared, the Negro question has become a complex and national one. Man Arrested as Negro Proves To Be White Pueblo, Colo., Jan. 5.—Orville Carr, arrested here recently and charged with an assault on a white woman, is not a Negro, but a white man who is now suspected of being the creature who has been molesting women in lonely thoroughfares for several weeks past. Women who have been the victims of these attempted attacks are to be brought to the suspect in the hope that he will be identified as the culprit. Negroes here have been much exercised over the efforts to connect the race with this latest outrage on public decency.

WASHINGTON The drive for official American representation on reparations commission was formally launched in the Senate with the administration's attitude undisclosed but with a declaration of war from the Republican "irreconcilables." President Harding is convinced, it was disclosed at the White House, that there can be no settlement of the $11,000,000,000 of war debts to the United States within the limitations laid down by Congress—payment of principal within twenty-five years with interest at 4% per cent. At the first joint meeting of the British and American debt commission, Stanley Baldwin, chancellor of the exchequer and one of the British commissioners, declared Great Britain intended to repay every cent of its debt to the United States, but desired funding arrangements which would disturb trade relations as little as possible. As a result of the Senate's recommendation that American troops be recalled from the Rhine, President Harding will decide this week, after consultation with Secretary of State Hughes and Secretary of War Weeks whether to take that step or retain the American force at Coblenz a while longer.

Length of Meters Differs. How many people know that the legal length of the meter in the United States is different from its legal length in England? Such, however, is the case. In America it is 39.37 inches; in England, 39.3700113. Of course, the difference is not large in itself, but still when computing great distances it might become considerable. In this day of accurate research, a thousandth, ten-thousandth, or millionth of an inch is ordinarily considered by no means negligible. --- Made We want a gents in every city and village to sell THE One 25 cents box proves its value.

He was a sad-looking, much-neglected member of his tribe—just an ugly street cur following at the heels of a very young and ragged master, just now laden down with a bundle of wood, quite as big as himself. The dog loitered after the manner of the beast, whereupon the boy looked over his shoulder and shouted to him, "Come on, Beauty!" GERMAN ENVOY FILES PROTEST GERMAN ENVOY FILES PROTEST NOTE TO U. S. ASSAILS INVASION AS VIOLATION OF TREATY. FRENCH TROOPS PATROL RUHR VALLEY AN DSTREETS Washington,—Dr. Otto Wiedfeldt, the German ambassador, called at the State Department and left there a formal protest against occupation of the Ruhr by France. After reciting that the German government protested against "oppression applied towards Germany in contradiction with the treaty of Versailles and international law," the commission said the Berlin government did not intend to "meet violence with violence, nor to reply to the breach of the treaty with a withdrawal from the treaty." "As long as the state of affairs contrary to the treaty exist," the protest continued, "Germany is not in a position to make actual reparations to those powers who have brought about this state of affairs." The German embassy was of the opinion that the text of the communication was similar, if not identical to that presented to the British foreign office by Dr. St. Hamer, German ambassador at London. The action of France, it was declared in the protest presented at the State Department, was "directed against a defenseless and peaceful nation" four years after the signing of the peace treaty." Commenting on Germany's default in deliveries of wood and coal during 1922, the communication stated that the default in the case of coal represented "a deficit amounting to less than 4 per cent of the deliveries of coal to the entente powers since the signing of the armistice." Declaring that "such a default on the part of Germany is not only denied by Germany alone," the protest continues that entirely apart from that the action of the French and Belgians represented a three-fold breach in the Versailles treaty. The treaty, it was asserted, does not admit any territorial sanctions, and the measures allowed by it against Germany "can only be applied by the allied powers as a whole and not by single powers of their own accord." According to the note of the reparations commission of last March 21, it was stated, Germany's defaults in wood and coal deliveries would "always only justify demands for subsequent payments." Essen.—The French army is encircling the heart of the Ruhr valley. Marching itno Essen in their new move for the occupation of additional German territory, French troops began patrolling the streets of Essen and sentries took positions at the entrance to the great Krupp works. French tanks command the Essen city hall square, and pickets of infantry hold the railroad station. The advance from the Dusseldorf bridgehead was led by armored cars, while cavalry debouched from Duisburg into Muelheim. One division of infantry marched into the valley from Dusseldorf and another from Duisburg. Two reserve divisions of infantry are camping on the edge of the former bridgehead limits. Allied Delegates Yield to Turks. Lausanne.—There will be no exemption from military service for the Christian inhabitants of Turkey. At the Near East conference the allies yielded before the united opposition of the Turks. On the other hand, the Turks were coniliatory on the question of the general amnesty. They gave up their demand that Moslems should not be included in the amnesty arrangements. Broker Receives Three-Year Sentence. St. Louis, Mo.—George V. Halliday, bankrupt broker, and alleged confessed counterfeiter of $1,500,000 interim certificates of the French government, was convicted by a jury in Circuit Court here on a charge of embezzlement and sentenced to three years' imprisonment. Anonymous Letters Sent Witnesses. Marion, Ill.—Delos Duty, state's attorney, said four witnesses reported to him they had received death threats. The four men were warned to retract testimony given against the five defendants on trial for murder in connection with the Herrin rlots, he said. Aviator Killed in 2,000 Foot Drop. San Antonio, Texas.—Lieut. Fonda B. Johnson, 31, was instantly killed near Kelly field here, when the plane in which he was leading a squadron of ships collided with a spad, piloted by Sergt. D. G. Warner. Warner dropped nearly 2,000 feet, but was uninjured. Both ships were wrecked. The squadron had taken the air in maneuvers under command of Lieutenant Johnson and were in the midst of the Immelmann turn when the ships crashed.

Iiiably informed that at an annual meeting of churches a few nights ago the question of need was to race in St. Luke's hospital was taken up, and a strong committee appointed to make this is truly a worth-while movement and one active of great good. The hospital complained of church connections supposedly free from any pre- and again reports have come from the incommodations and neglectful treatment that has less pretentious religious body. Station supplies one of the inexplicable mysteries in progress. To foster and spread the propagation and kind may kneel with equal grace but then be denied succor when stricken with the least, contradictory of the life and teachal." This matter, known to every Denver cityrift along, practically unchallenged, for years, welcome news to learn that a delegation of some have been empowered to take the matter and bring a very vexing problem to a final, easy looking about us to see in what way we comment and progress during 1923. To our own used investigation of hospital conditions affect should be the first big step. "In every way a long more intimately linked with all that goes to this community. We seek no escapement free character. We do not want nor will we ask for of any people or institutions. Our only claust, not of the man-made, man-conceived not of justice and mercy coming from Him we must emulate, both in spirit and in truth. Its should be given unstintedly to those who are thought to bring the matter up at this time. It be manifest until there is an improved coping with our status and in keeping with its WE are reliably informed that at an annual meeting of one of our leading churches a few nights ago the question of needless discrimination as to race in St. Luke's hospital was taken up and discussed at some length, and a strong committee appointed to make a proper investigation. This is truly a worth-while movement and one which we trust will be productive of great good. The hospital complained of is under the direction of church connections supposedly free from any phase of prejudice. Yet time and again reports have come from the institution of inadequate accommodations and neglectful treatment that would put to shame a far less pretentious religious body. This condition supplies one of the inexplicable mysteries of our reputed Christian progress. To foster and spread the propaganda that people of every race and kind may kneel with equal grace before the communion rail and then be denied succor when stricken with fever or disease is, to say the least, contradictory of the life and teachings of "Him Who gavest all." This matter, known to every Denver citizen, has been permitted to drift along, practically unchallenged, for years. It is therefore a bit of welcome news to learn that a delegation of staunch church men and women have been empowered to take the matter up with the proper persons and bring a very vexing problem to a final decision. We are busy looking about us to see in what way we can bring about actual achievement and progress during 1923. To our way of thinking, a broad, unbiased investigation of hospital conditions affecting our group in general would be the first big step. "In every way and every day" we are becoming more intimately linked with all that goes to make up the civic life of this community. We seek no escapement from responsibilities of any character. We do not want nor will we ask for special favors at the hands of any people or institutions. Our only clamoring is for JUST treatment, not of the man-made, man-conceived notion of justice, but that species of justice and mercy coming from Him whose life and example we must emulate, both in spirit and in truth. Our thanks should be given unstintedly to those who possessed the courage and forethought to bring the matter up at this time, and we trust no let-up will be manifest until there is an improved condition at St. Luke's, in keeping with our status and in keeping with its Christian professions. THE POLICIES OF OUR NEW GOVERNOR the recommendations contained in Governor to the Colorado Legislature will receive favor was it expected they would at the time theyuck will be with the chief executive if any of a Republican House and Senate, and are reare. And the fault will not necessarily be NOT all of the recommendations contained in Governor Sweet's first message to the Colorado Legislature will receive favorable consideration, nor was it expected they would at the time they were offered. Indeed good luck will be with the chief executive if any of his proposals passes through a Republican House and Senate, and are returned to him for his signature. And the fault will not necessarily be at the door of either the executive or legislative branches of our state government, but will be mainly attributable to the unwise, over-zealous friends of the former, who insist upon magnifying every apparent political difference between the two elements. Governor Sweet at this time typifies the proverbial new broom and is expected to make a clean sweep of everything not conducive to the policies of good government. We do not presume that we will at any time be called upon to offer advice to the new administration, but we are none the less greatly interested in Colorado and her affairs. We want to see Governor Sweet given the fullest possible opportunity to put into effect the reform policies he advocates and that he no doubt feels are essential to bring relief to an overburdened people. Colorado needs prosperity, and two years of it under a Democratic governor would be as acceptable as under any other party chief; Colorado needs a relief from the increasing burdens of taxation, and needs it badly, and if the present occupant of the governor's chair has a program that will bring about such a relief, all honor and glory should be given him. To a very great and pronounced extent, the voters of Colorado are not blind devotees of a party name. They more frequently throw aside the yoke than they assume it. Something of the knowledge of this fact must have been in the mind of the new governor when he penned his first message. It was a good state paper, reaching high places of real statesmanship at times and in no event descended to the level of mere demagoguery. His plank on "Education" and our general school system did not differ materially from the findings of Governor Shoup on the same subject a week ago. Yet we must accord that words of wisdom fell from his lips when he said, "Only through a unified school system can Colorado render great service to humanity in those laboratories of good citizenship, our public schools. Only through recognition by the public of the teaching force as soldiers of the common good can the permanence of a democratic republic be insured." Colorado has ever taken high pride in her school systems and will give unstinted support to any cause looking to their betterment. Likewise, the executive's views on taxation, good roads and co-operative marketing showed deep study and earnestness of conviction. However, his expressed opposition to the Board of Capitol Managers and to the Colorado Rangers and Civil Service Commission as now conducted, seemed more in keeping with a desire to reaffirm pre-election campaign pledges. Governor Sweet is not the first to attempt to abolish the Board of Capitol Managers and may not be the last. The ears of all Colorado were open to his reasonings. Speaking within the chambers of the House of Representatives, he yet spoke beyond his immediate hearers and reached the hearts of every worthy citizen of the state. Rightly or wrongly, remedial or harmful, the pronounced principles of Gov. William E. Sweet must be stamped as emanating from honest convictions and a real desire on the part of the man to render large service to the people of the state in which he was reared, had prospered and grown to the many proportions that justified his selection as its chief magistrate. In conclusion, he said: "I wish to assure you of my friendly attitude toward each one of you and my earnest desire to work with you in the most cordial way. The office of the governor will be open to every member of the legislature, and I want to know all of you personally. I rejoice that there has been no incident in my experience in politics which will cause me to abate my keen desire for harmony and co-operation with you. I invite your trust and confidence to the end that our mutual efforts may result in the advancement of our state. I am convinced that you have come here with only the welfare of the state and its people impressed on your hearts, and that you will give to the many grave problems confronting the state the earnestness, the serious thought and the untiring efforts which they demand. I feel sure there will be no attempt made through the practice of partisan politics to block the passage of those measures which are so greatly needed to bring the largest degree of prosperity and well-being to the people of Colorado." CHEYENNE WYO. NEWS Rev, and Mrs. W. T. Thornton and Mrs. Frazier were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ashford at dinner on Tuesday evening at Baker Cafe. Mrs. Susannah Plerson is much improved in health. Mrs. Helen Stocker and Mrs. Lizzie Horn are on the sick list. Mrs. George Hopkins, who has been suffering from a fractured rib, caused by a fall, is improving. Mr. Frank Gaskin has returned home after an absence of several months. Miss Rachel Butler of Denver is a visitor in Cheyenne, the guest of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Butler. Thenty of Cheyenne's popular young men have combined their efforts, to promote the scientific efficiency of fellowship, forming an organization called the Del-Heptica Club. The good to be accomplished cannot be overestimated, the club having its plans laid out to do good and effective work in this city. The Del-Heptica Club will attain the highest realization of our usefulness as men and be of great credit to the community. The following officers, with the members of the club, are putting forth every effort to make the Del-Heptica Club rank as A-1: Harry C.

Well, we are still here, although the way the wind blew Sunday night we did not know if we would be in the same place Monday morning or not. Trees were uprooted, limbs blown off, part of chimneys and buildings blown down, fences and telegraph poles felt the effects of the wind. The lights went out several times before 10 o'clock, but about that hour they went out and stayed out and Boulder was in darkness until the moon came up. There was no service Sunday morning at the Baptist Church and possibly none at night at Allen Chapel, Sunday night Rev. Murphy spoke from the third chapter of Rev. and eighth verse. Subject: "The Open Door." He preached a fine sermon. Only a few were present, owing to the inclementy of the weather. Mr. G. Morrison, better known as "Little George," was to entertain the patrons of "Macky" in Boulder Friday night at 8 o'clock. Mrs. Mary Reeves has opened a "tea room" at her home, 1921 Goss street, recently. We wish her success in her new undertaking. Since our heavy wind storm, Boulder has been blessed with beautiful sunshine weather. It makes us think of flowers and gardens, but just wait, Mrs. Sybil Smith was a Denver visitor Sunday. Mr. Hillard was a Denver visitor the week-end. Mr. James Chrysler spent the weekend in Denver. Mr. Walter Carter was a Denver visitor Sunday. We were sorry to learn of Mrs. Fairbank's death. All who knew her, loved her. We extend sympathy to the bereaved ones. Rev. Murphy was a Denver visitor the 3rd, returning in the evening of that day. C. M. E. CHURCH NOTES. C. E.

Vincent of Grand Junction, twice Republican nominee for Congress, and influential leader on the Western slope, said. The inaugural was one of the most elaborate in the history of the state. American flags and American colors were draped around the balcony in the House, where the ceremony took place; there were palms and ferns on the speaker's desk and in nooks in the lobby and in the entrance. There was special music, and the governor's staff was present in full uniform. Drs. Sherman Williams and G. K. Olmsted, Denver, confirmed as members of the State Board of Health and Mrs. Julia E.

THE COLORADO STATESMAN JEFF FURDON CALL OF AMERICA FACE TRACE COUNTRY PARTY ```markdown ``` Jimmie Corbett of 841 Elati, who has been suffering several days with tonsilitis, is very much better. Mrs. Myrtle Canada is reported being quite ill with double pneumonia at her residence, 258 York street. We hope for her speedy recovery, and at this time her physician gives out much hope. Mrs. Geo. W. Brooks of 2530 Franklin street, who has been confined to her bed with an attack of la gripe for more than a week, is now showing rapid improvement, much to the delight of her many friends. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Johnson of 720 East Sixteenth avenue entertained several friends last Monday evening at an elaborate dinner party, in honor of her three sisters, Mrs. Jerry Stone, Mrs. Leonard and Mrs. Lofton. A most enjoyable evening was enjoyed by all. Mr. T. A. Langston, 2941 Glenarm place, has been confined to his home for several days. Mr. Langston has a host of friends in Denver, who regret his illness and are hoping that he will soon recover. Dr. P. E. Sprattlin is giving Mr. Langston close and careful attention. The Bon Vivant Club held their regular monthly meeting Tuesday night at the residence of Geo. W. Gross. The usual sumptuous dinner was served and final plans made for big fancy dress dancing party the latter part of this month. These annual events of the Bons are always looked forward to with a great deal of enthusiasm by the social elite. On Monday evening, January 5th, Mrs. Grace Leonard invited sixteen of her most intimate friends to the home of her sisters, Mrs. Jerry Stone, 2422 Lafayette street, to a handsomely appointed dinner party in honor of her husband's twenty-fourth birthday anniversary. The table and house were beautifully decorated in pink and white. Mr. Leonard received some very beautiful presents. News has just reached the city of the death of Mrs. Emma Johnson at Topeka, Kan. Mrs. Johnson is the mother of Mrs. Ossa E. Sewell and grandmother of. Mrs. Blossom L. Franklin of 2938 Glenarm place, this city. Mrs. Sewell left the city just in time to spend the last few days with her mother. Mrs. Johnson spent last summer in Denver, and it was hoped that she would regain her health, but alas! Mrs. Julia Neuby of Omaha, Neb., returned to her home last week, after having spent the holidays in Denver. Mrs. Neuby is a frequent visitor to the "Mile High City," and her sunshine and joyful disposition has won her many friends in this city. While in the city, Mrs. Neuby was the recipient of many social honors and she expressed herself as having enjoyed to the full, Denver's unequaled hospitality. While here she was the guest of her mother, Mrs. Caroline Irving, 2818 Glenarm place. Basil Hill estate, which was contested by Lena Fisher (white) and the State of Colorado, combined, finally settled last week in favor of legatees and beneficiaries named in the will, the last step taken by the state after being convinced that the jury stood to 3 in favor of legatees in the last trial—and after Lena Fisher was defeated, dismissed its appeal. The estate and legatees were represented by Attorney E. P. Blakemore; Lena Fisher by Attorney Hipp and Cary; state by Ramsey, assistant attorney general. MOUNTAIN LODGE OF ELKS NO. 39, I. B. P. O. E. of W., held initiation of candidates at their regular meeting last Wednesday evening, when Messrs. John Conway, Henry Pinn, popular citizens of many years residence, and Messrs. Williams, Jackson and Collins were admitted into the mysteries of the order. The first two members were re-instated. Exalted Ruler D. L. Miller and Secretary Henry Haines are already reviving the true spirit of Elkdom among the members and quite a prestige is being established. The case of J. T. Canada vs. Sam Scott, et al., at Laramie, Wyo., was decided this week in favor of Sam Scott, defendant. Plaintiff Canada, a resident of Laramie, Wyo., by his attorneys, Corthell & Corthell, a firm of white attorneys of Laramie, sued Scott as legatee to an estate of several thousand dollars, an action for specific performance of a contract, result of a reciprocal will executed by one Wiseman Hill. Scott employed Attorney E. R Blakemore of Denver and the case has been fought through the courts of Wyoming for three years, with the result that Scott was successful in winning the litigation in a lengthy opinion from the court, awarding him possession of the properties involved. Mrs. Vera E. Duncan, 2811 Welton street, entertained the Church Aid Club in her home last week. The hour was very pleasantly spent. A program, musical and literary, in its aspect, was rendered, consisting of solos, instrumental and vocal, recitations and select readings. Following the program all present were served fruit cake and Pistache Christmas cream. Games of various sorts were indulged in following the repast, and everybody verily enjoyed themselves. The Church Aid Club of the C. M. E. Church is doing much in the interest of the said church. Mrs. Clara E. Colquette is president; Mrs. Mary Spikner, secretary, and Mrs. Ossa E. Sewell, treasurer. Among those on the program were: Mesdames Julia Neuby of Omaha, Neb.; Vera Duncan, Eugenia Collins and Master Hofford Hackley.

The article below is a contribution to the "Colorado Manufacturer and Consumer," a magazine of much importance, published by the Colorado Manufacturers' and Merchants' Association (white), in which such laudable reference is made to Richard Butler (popularly known as Dick Butler) and William E. Parks, well known leading residents and mechanics of Denver, Colo., and which we are pleased to publish: "To turn out a perfect product, quality in men is as necessary as quality in materials. To have men who carry your ideals into their daily work is to be thrice blessed. "Dick Butler became a part of the production department of this company in 1897—twenty-six years ago. He is the peer of any roller maker in the business. He knows the ways of every printer's roller plant in the country, and improves on them. "To keep one of the admittedly best men in the country associated with you for twenty-six years tells a story that is big in itself. With Butler is associated W. E. Parks, a college graduate. He, also, is familiar with the ways of big plants, and their formulas, and for nine years he has been contributing his part toward the present success of the company." HON. E. M. SABIN REAPPOINTED PUBLIC TRUSTEE. Hon. E. M. Sabin, who served the public so faithfully for the past two years, was confirmed by the Senate last Tuesday in his reappointment to the position of public trustee. Attorney Sabin has been in the political arena for several years and has always filled his place wherever and whenever appointed with that satisfaction which the public commends. THE COLORADO STATESMAN, being associated with this honorable official for many years in business matters can certify as to his ability and courteous treatment of the public, also the civility of the members of his staff, and therefore we feel proud to congratulate our friend on this well-merited appointment and hope a greater success during his present term of office.

At the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association last Sunday afternoon, the Rev. Ralph Gilbert, pastor of the Colored Baptist Church, Ann Harbor, Mich., and now traveling as field secretary of the National Educational Baptist Society, delivered a masterly address on "Social Righteousness," which was one of the best treats of the season that the Y. M. C. A. family and its supporters had an opportunity to receive. The speaker, though a young man of 25 years, spoke with the experience of those who have passed through and contended with the vicissitudes of life for many years, and his cogent reasoning and logical arguments on his topic, mingled with flights of oratory, though so plain that the most ordinary mind could grasp, proved beyond a doubt that not only is he a profound scholar and important link in the Baptist chain, but an invaluable asset to his race and the nation. By the thoroughness of his explanations as to the agencies that cause a people or a race to progress or retrograde, many who were losing heart as to their misfortune in being of dark appearance, took now hope and courage, and even the members of the other side who were present, could not refrain from commending the speaker for the able manner in which he handled his subject. The building was crowded to standing room and visitors of both races, from all parts of the city, were present and accorded him the praise of a fine, scholarly gentleman and teacher, far above the average lecturer whose general pessimism wrecks rather than builds. Attorney Frank C. Goudy commented very favorably on the address, having listened to it with rapt attention. The Rev. Gilbert, after preaching at the New Hope and Central Baptist churches, and surveying the work here, left last Wednesday for Pueblo, Colo., and Wichita, Kan. The management of the Y. M. C. A. hopes a return visit sometime next month, when a larger hall will be gotten for the accommodation of the public. We are proud of such men of our race, who are the means of creating a better understanding between the races, and the COLORADO STATESMAN is never slow in the publication of GOOD THINGS. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN In reply to the notices, inserted in the Denver Star on Dec. 23 and Dec. 30, 1922, by Lone Star No. 15, O. E. S., and Evergreen No. 36, O. E. S., concerning the suspension of members mentioned on above dates, I publish below the reply from Grand Matron Marie Soanes of Prince Hall Grand Chapter of Kansas and Jurisdiction. NOTICE. Some days ago we read from the pages of the Denver Star of Dec. 23, 1922, an account of a MOCK TRIAL with farcical judgmet rendered by a faction of former members of Prince Hall Grand Chapter, O. E. S., of Kansas. The humor of the whole affair is too obvious for sober and direct reply and would be passed over with a smile were it not for the motive. It is puzzling to conceive why some of our people in this enlightened land of ours and progressive age should be so egregiously blind. When we see those professing to be guided by the ennobling principles of an order that stands above petty jealousies and whose spirit and tendencies are purely benevolent and promotive of harmony and concord, yet showing such uncharitable disposition, we are prompted to defend the sisters mentioned. The sisters are members in regular standing in the Jurisdiction of Kansas and are unaffected by any such mock tribunal. The Jurisdiction of Kansas will, as it has always done, take care of its members. (Seal) MARY SOANES, Grand Matron. Prince Hall Grand Chapter of Kansas. THE GUILD OF ST. PERPETUA HOLDS ELECTION OF OFFICERS. The meeting of the Guild of St. Petetua at the parish house of the Church of the Redeemer Tuesday night attracted a large crowd and a great deal of interest was manifested in the excellent report of the officers and committees of the past year. Election of officers for the ensuing year took place with the following result: Mrs. Jessie Roy, president. Mrs. Maude Harris, vice president. Miss Louise Mays, secretary. Mrs. Ferba Gross, treasurer. Mrs. Viola Pinchback, chairman of entertainment; Mrs. Josephine Harding, chairman of membership; Mrs. Mae Brooks, chairman of vestments; Mrs. Isabel Brown, chairman of sick and flowers. With a splendid record of the past year as an incentive the newly elected officers accepted the task given them in neat and appropriate speeches.

DU BOIS AND JAMES WELDON JOHNSON COMING TO DENVER THIS SPRING. The executive committee of the Denver Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., at its regular meeting Thursday night, gave out the pleasing information that Dr. W. E. B. DuBois would appear in Denver early in March and that James Weldon Johnson would be here before the June conference is held in Kansas City during that month. The committee also announces that Bishop W. T. Vernon has given a tentative promise to address the Denver body if his health will permit. With an array of able race leaders and orators such as these promised us Denver is assured an intellectual feast such as seldom comes to a city in a single season. Let us hope that Denver will be able to carry out its very ambitious program to the fullest. The meeting of Thursday night was for the purpose of completing arrangements for the occasions. Bishop Vernon has a large circle of friends here who will turn out and give him a great welcome after his long sojourn in Africa. Dr. DuBois has also spoken in Denver, but Mr. Johnson will come here for the first time. All should be memorable occasions. O. T. JACKSON APPOINTED GOV- ERNOR'S MESSENGER Our friend and enterprising Coloradoan, O. T. JACKSON, who has served four terms already at the State Capitol as messenger to governors, is again called upon to occupy the position which he secures meritoriously. Mr. Jackson is known to be of the class of politicians who do not attempt to trade, as he is strictly partisan, and going down with his party when defeated, he redoubles his efforts to bring about success. For this he is again rewarded with the appointment by Governor Sweet, and knowing him as we do for many years, we offer our best wishes for his success, having faith in his ability and character to maintain the prestige which he has established long ago. Mr. Jackson is the founder of the Dearfield colony, Colorado, and has large holdings in that part of the state. Best wishes for Mrs. Jackson also, who has always stood shoulder to shoulder with her husband for his success. FR. H. E. RAHMING COMPLETES SECOND YEAR OF SUCCESSFUL WORK AT CHURCH OF REDEEM- ER. The annual parish meeting of the Church of the Redeemer, Wednesday night, brought to close the second year of the pastorate of Fr. H. E. Rahming, and a most gratifying report was given of the excellence of his leadership, as a pastor and as a man of God. Coming to Denver two years ago from the far East, Fr. Rahming plunged into the work of building up a community parish at the Redeemer that has proven a marvel of success. He is affectionately regarded as a Christian leader of commendable breadth and vision. The meeting Wednesday night showed the church to be on a sound financial basis and every auxiliary working energetically and harmoniously together. With two flourishing guilds, a strong and growing men's club, a Girls' Friendly Society, and troop of Boy Scouts, as well as an unprecedented number of new communicants during the past year, all Denver should take just pride in the work being done by the Redeemer and its beloved pastor. Jack Rabbits Supply Basis for Many Excellent Dishes. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) blespoonfuls salt, 2 teaspoonfuls pepper, 2 teaspoonfuls powdered sage. Jack rabbits are troublesome pests, but they provide the basis for several excellent dishes. The United States Department of Agriculture recommends the following recipe for cooking them in the form of sausage cakes. Clean the rabbits and wash in salt water (1 tablespoonful salt to 1 quart water) to draw out the blood. Cut the meat from bones and remove the thick membranes covering back and thighs. Pass the meat through a meat grinder twice and weigh it. To 6 pounds of meat take 2 onions, finely minced (if desired onions may be left out of cakes, and sliced, browned and served with the sausage cakes), 2 ta- CANDIED GRAPEFRUIT PEEL MAKES CENTER CANDIED GRAPEFRUIT PEEL MAKES CENTER Also Serves as Substitute for Citron in Baking, Two Methods of Cooking Are Outlined One With Water Alone, the Other With Lime Water—Place in Air-Tight Jars. Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture. Candied grapefruit peel makes an excellent center for chocolates and also serves as a substitute for citron in baking, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Many firms now use candied citrus products instead of citron in making mincemeat. Wash the fruit and remove the peel, leaving as little of the white material attached to the fruit as possible. The peel can be more readily detached if the fruit is dipped in boiling water for a few minutes. If peel from fruit from which the juice has been pressed is to be used, the segment walls can be cleaned away with a knife. Not all of the peel from this class of material can be saved, but usually enough is recovered to make it pay. Cut the peel into strips 2 inches long by $ \frac{1}{4} $ inch wide, into disks $ \frac{1}{2} $ inch wide, or into squares of the same size. There are two methods of cooking the peel. In one method water alone is used; in the other a preliminary treatment with lime water is given. Under certain conditions the finished product has a slightly tough layer at the surface, the remnant of the outer surface of the original peel. This toughness can be overcome by using lime water, although as a rule results almost as good are obtained by using water alone. Only the clear lime water should be used for this purpose, never milk of lime. Lime water contains only a few tenths of 1 per cent of lime in solution and will not injure the peel. Place the prepared peel in a kettle and cover it either with a mixture consisting of two parts of water and one part of clear lime water or with water alone. Cover and boil for half an hour. Pour off the liquid; again cover with water and boil for half an hour. Do not use lime water after the first cooking. Repeat the boiling with fresh water each time, until a piece of the peel when removed and cooled has about the bitter taste that is desired in the finished product. The final product will be a little less bitter than the peel at this stage as some of the bitterness disappears on further cooking. Usually three treatments are sufficient when a rather bitter flavor is desired. Five or six treatments produce a mild-flavored peel; more than that number give a product without much grapefruit flavor. When the desired flavor is reached, pour off the water and drain the peel; the excess of water can be removed by gentle pressure. To candy the peel prepare a sirup, using equal parts of granulated sugar and water, and cover the peel with it. Boil very slowly for an hour or so, and allow the peel to remain in the sirup overnight, or longer if convenient. Finally, boil again until the sirup becomes thick, stopping the cooking at the usual end point for jelly making; that is, when the substance flakes on sheets from the spoon or the temperature on a candy thermometer is about 219 degrees F. The peel is satisfactory even if cooking is stopped before it reaches this point; overcooking tends to make the peel hard. While hot, drain the sirup from the peel as completely as possible, shaking repeatedly to remove the last drops. Now roll the peel in powdered sugar, separating any pieces that stick together. Cool and allow to remain in the air for several days to dry out. Place the dry peel in air-tight jars or cans, where it will keep for months. Marble Slab Is Useful. A small marble slab is useful in the kitchen for cutting onions, garlic and other things as it is easily cleaned and does not retain the odors. blesponfuls salt, 2 teaspoonfuls pepper, 3 teaspoonfuls powdered sage, 1 to 2 bay leaves, powdered or broken in small pieces, pinch each of thyme and allspice, 8 to 12 tablespoonfuls of finely crumbed dry bread or cracker crumbs, 2 eggs beaten together and $\frac{1}{2}$ to 1 cupful of rich sweet milk. (If pork flavor is desired, for each 4 pounds of rabbit meat allow 2 pounds of fat pork.) Knead well, make into little cakes, fry in deep grease until nicely browned. If desired, omit the spices and onion and form the finely-ground rabbit meat into small flat cakes; sprinkle with salt and pepper and fry. Pour off excess of pan grease, add boiling water and make stock for gravy. PLAN FOR MAKING SCRAPPLE Where It Cannot Be Used While Fresh It Should Be Canned by Means of Steam Cooker. If scrapple is made in a larger quantity at hog killing time than can be used fresh, it should be canned by means of the steam pressure cooker. When wanted the scrapple can be removed from the can, sliced and browned in the frying pan. Small quantities of scrapple may be made from pork bones and left-overs or parts not otherwise utilized when cutting up a hog. The cleaned head, feet, all bones cut out of fresh or cooked meat with what meat clings to them, the liver and heart, may be utilized for making scrapple. Put over the fire in cold water enough to cover, bring to a boll, and cook until meat falls from the bones. Strain the resulting liquid or soup from the bones. If too greasy, part of the fat may be skimmed off. Carefully pick out all bones from the meat. Then chop the meat fine and return to the soup. Put over the fire again and bring to a boil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. To this boiling soup and meat add slowly under constant stirring, to prevent lumpiness, a mixture of cornmeal, buckwheat flour, and wheat middlings or farina until it is as thick as mush. The mixture is in the proportion of two parts of fresh cornmeal, one part of buckwheat flour and one part of clean wheat middlings or farina. Stir vigorously while the scrapple is allowed to cook for from ten to fifteen minutes. Remove from fire and pour hot into pans to set. All Around the House All Around the House Kerosene oil will remove rust from irons. Do not boll acid fruit in aluminum pots or the pot will turn black. To clean stains from steel knives rub them with powdered bath brick. A pinch of baking powder added to vegetables while cooking will keep them green. The water in which meat has been cooked is an excellent foundation for a good soup. A cut potato or apple kept in the cake box will keep cut cake fresh for several days. Cinnamon gives a variety to the flavor of apple sauce when it becomes monotonous in the menu. Add a little gasoline to the water before scrubbing white paint and it will make the work easier. Left-over fruit may be placed on slices of cake and garnished with whipped cream for a delicious dessert. Salt meat should be put into warm water and brought to the boiling point; afterwards simmering, as in the case of fresh meat. Remove the rust from the inside of the oven before it begins to eat into the metal. This may be done with a coarse sandpaper. * * * Beaded bags may be brightened by sponging them with a little gasoline. Avoid too much moisture, as the threads are liable to shrink. * * * The hot school lunch is a practical, common sense way of making it easier for boys and girls to learn; more important, it builds up stronger bodies.—New York State College of Agriculture. * * * Scalded milk is best prepared by heating in a double boiler until the milk ruffles up around the edges. If placed directly on the stove the milk will boil and not scald. The KITCHEN CABINET "One's personal enjoyment is a very small thing, but one's personal happiness is a very important thing. Those only are happy who have their minds fixed on some object rather than their own happiness." Apples are so common and so generally found in any market that we are apt to slight and undervalue them. There is no more tempting garnish for a luncheon dish or for dinner than a rosy cheeked stewed or baked apple on the dinner plate with the roast. These are prepared by cooking them gently until tender with the skins left on or partly removed to keep them from bursting. When tender, carefully remove the red skins (of course they should be of the red-skinned variety) and scrape the red with a knife or spoon from the inside of the skin. Paint it back on the cheek of the apple and it makes the attractive "apple in bloom." Apple Souffle—Core, peel and stew four tart apples in just enough water to prevent burning. Pass through a sieve. Put one tablespoonful of butter in a saucepan, add four tablespoonfuls of cornstarch and one tablespoonful of flour, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt, four tablespoonfuls of cold water, stir and cook until clear. Add one cupful of hot apple sauce sweetened to taste and one teaspoonful of lemon juice. Remove from the fire, add three well-beaten eggs and cut and fold in the stiffly beaten whites and pour into a well-buttered baking dish; bake until puffed and a delicate brown; serve at once. Split Pea Soup.—Take one pint of dry legumes, one onion, one-half head of celery, three tablespoonfuls of flour, the same of butter, one-half can of strained tomato and one cupful of cream. Soak the peas over night, drain and simmer until tender, stirring often. When the peas are tender, fry the onion until tender, also the celery cut fine, in a little beef fat. Add to the soup and cook until smooth. Put through a sieve, add the butter and flour cooked until smooth, the tomato and the cream. Serve hot with toasted wafers. Date Muffins.—Cream one-third of a cupful of butter with one-fourth of a cupful of milk, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt. Mix two teaspoonfuls of baking powder into two cupfuls of flour; mix all together, beat well and add one-fourth of a pound of chopped dates. Bake in gem pans in a moderate oven. Fish Hash.—Put hot, salted, cooked potatoes through a ricer, add one egg to a pint of the potatoes, two tablespoonfuls of butter and saat and pepper to season. Beat well and add an equal quantity of flaked fish. Fry in bacon fat and serve garnished with parsley. To preserve a friend three things are necessary: To honor him present, praise him absent and assist him in his necessities.-Italian Saying. GOOD THINGS WE LIKE TO TRY A delicious cake to serve on "special occasions" is the following: Fruit Layer Cake.— Cream one cupful of butter, add two cupfuls of sugar, six eggs beaten well, one cupful of milk, two and one-half cupfuls of flour, one teaspoonful of vanilla, three teaspoonfuls of baking powder. The yolks of the eggs if added first and the whites stillly beaten folded in at the last make a very delicate cake. Bake in layers. Fruit Filling.—Boil two cupfuls of sugar until it threads and pour slowly over three stiffly-beaten whites of eggs, beat well, add one-half cupful of citron finely shredded, one-half cupful of figs, one cupful of raisins chopped, one pound of blanched and chopped almonds. Spread between the layers and on top. Spanish Bernoda.—Wash, skin and cut into dice two pounds of fresh fish, bass or halibut, or any fish in season. Have ready five large potatoes sliced, two onions sliced, one-half a can of tomatoes and a few spoonfuls of catup. Arrange in a deep baking dish in layers, first the fish, then the potatoes, next the onions, and last the tomatoes; pour over the catsup and sprinkle with two tablespoonfuls of butter cut into bits. Add salt to season and bake three hours, well-covered. Baked Bananas With Sultana Sauce. —Cook one-half cupful of sultana raisins in one and one-half cupfuls of boiling water for thirty minutes. Slift together one-half cupful of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of cornstarch, then add the raisins and water, of which there should be a cupful. Boll six minutes, add one teaspoonful each of lemon juice and vanilla and serve poured around the baked bananas. Seafoam.—Dissolve two cupfuls of granulated sugar in one-half cupful of hot water, then add one-half cupful of white corn syrup and boil until a little dropped into cold water will make a hard ball. Have the whites of two eggs beaten until stiff, pour over them the boiling sirup very slowly, beating all the while. Add vanilla and nuts and when stiff drop by spoonfuls on a buttered sheet.

TO TEMPT THE APPETITE An entree is rather an inclusive term for it covers fritters, souffles. rissoles, patties, bouchees, vol auvents, croquettes and timbales and these are not all. Chicken Rissoles. — Roll paste one-eighth of an inch in rissoles, parties, bouchees, vol au vents, croquettes and timbales and these are not all. Chicken Rissoles.—Roll puff paste one-eighth of an inch in thickness and cut into rounds. Place one teaspoonful of finely-minced meat seasoned and moistened with white sauce on each round. Brush with cold water and fold over like a turnover, press the edges together. Dip in egg diluted with water and fry in deep fat. For the filling take one-half cupful of finely-chopped cooked chicken, with one-fourth of a cupful of minced ham, moisten with white sauce, season with salt and cayenne. Pastry shells filled with this mixture are called bouchees. Cheese Souffle With PaSTRY.—Beat two eggs, add two-thirds of a cupful of thick cream, one-half cupful of Swiss cheese cut into bits, one-half cupful of grated American cheese, one-third of a cupful of Parmesan cheese, cayenne, salt and a few gratings of nutmeg. Line the sides of ramekin dishes with strips of puff paste. Fill the dishes two-thirds full and bake in a pan of hot water in a moderate oven. Lobster Cream.—Remove the lobster meat from the shell and chop finely; a two-pound lobster will be sufficient. Cook together one-half cupful each of soft bread crumbs and milk for ten minutes. Add one-fourth of a cupful of cream, two teaspoonfuls of anchovy essence, one-half teaspoonful of salt and a little cayenne. Add the whites of three eggs beaten stiff. Turn into buttered molds and bake in a dish of hot water. Supreme of Chicken.—Chop the breast and second joints of uncooked chicken very fine. Beat four eggs, one at a time, beating well between. Add one and one-third cupfuls of thick cream and season with salt and pepper. Turn into buttered molds and bake in a pan of hot water. Place buttered paper over the molds while baking. Popcorn Wafers.—Prepare a boiled frosting and stir into it tender, freshly popped corn. Arrange crackers in a dripping pan or on a baking sheet and drop a spoonful of the corn mixture on each. Place in the oven to brown slightly. It is almost always when things are all blocked up and impossible that a happening comes. If you are sure that you are looking and are ready, that is all you need. God is turning the world around all of the time. Whitney. SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS A hot drink to serve on a cold night and one easy to mix, is the following: Mulled Cider— To two quarts of cider add a heaping tablespoonful of cloves, heat to the boiling point, add sufficient sugar to make quite sweet and cook To two quarts of elder add a heaping tablespoonful of cloves, heat to the boiling point, add sufficient sugar to make quite sweet and cook three minutes at the boiling point. Beat ten eggs, without separating, until light. Pour the boiling elder into the eggs, pouring back and forth from one bowl to another until well mixed and foamy. Then strain to remove the cloves and pour into glasses with a grating of nutmeg over each. Serve at once. Pfeffer Kuchen.—Cream together one-half pound of butter with one pound of sugar, add one-third of an ounce each of anise seed, cardamom and cassia buds, one teapoonful each of cloves and cinnamon, one-half teapoonful each of allspice and salt. Take one quart of molasses, add four teapoonfuls of soda dissolved in two tablespoonfuls of boiling water, then add to the spice mixture, alternating with flour until you have a stiff dough. Roll out, cut into rounds, brush with sugar and water and bake in a moderate oven. Cranberry Pudding.—To one quart of flour add two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and one teaspoonful of salt; rub in one-third cupful of sweet fat, half butter and half other fat; add milk enough to make a batter, then stir in one cupful of chopped cranberries. Steam two hours, not removing the cover. Serve with a sweet sauce. If you like a very delicate cranberry sauce or jelly, cut the berries into halves and set under the cold water faucet in a colander to wash out as many seeds as possible, then stew as usual. Baltimore Suet Pudding.—Take one-half cupful each of molasses, milk and suet, a cupful and one-half of flour, one cupful of chopped raisins, the juice and rind of a lemon, a teaspoonful of soda, a little ground cloves, one teaspoonful of clnamon and one of salt. Mix and steam five hours. Serve with a rich fruit sauce. (2). 1923. Western Newspaper Union.) TEMPTING DISHES apt to slight and undervalue them.

We Are Anxious to Help --- LOOKING IN ON THE LEGISLATURE Wednesday, January 3rd, arrived, and as the hands on the big clock pointed to 12, the House of Representatives was called to order by R. L. Shaw, chief clerk of the last General Assembly, Rev. Leon Hills, acting as chaplain, offered prayer, and the Twenty-fourth General Assembly PETER B. started on its way, under the gold-tinted dome of the Capitol building. Every member elect was in his seat; there were no contests. The names of the members-elect, as certified by the secretary of state, and approved by the credentials committee, were announced. The House then proceeded to elect a speaker; both Democrats and Republicans had their candidates, the Democrats presenting the name of A. E. Headlee of Monte Vista, and the Republicans offering Charles C. Sackman of Denver; Mr. Sackman receiving his party vote of thirty-three, and Mr. Headlee receiving the thirty-two Democrat votes. Mr. Sackmann was declared elected. Mr. Sackmann accepted the gavel with appropriate remarks; the House rules of the last session were adopted, committees were appointed to arrange for the inauguration of Governor Sweet, and several routine matters; it was arranged for Governor Shoup to address both Houses, in joint session, Friday morning; it was his swan song, after four years of service to the state. Heretofore, the Senate has, attracted the larger amount of attention, but this year the House is going to take the center of the stage. This is true because the two parties are so evenly divided, that there promises to be something doing every minute of the time, and hair pulling experiences will be many, no doubt. Governor William E. Sweet took charge on the 9th, and if he succeeds in putting over his program, as many believe that he will, it is a foregone conclusion that Colorado will have more progressive legislation enacted this winter than for the last twenty years of her history. Thus far, in organizing the Assembly, the Democrats have allowed the Republicans to have their way, and there does not seem to be any disposition to thwart Mr. Sweet's program on the surface. If the Democrats succeed, they will be on the defensive in the next campaign; if the Republicans oppose, they will have to assume the responsibility. While this was going on in the House, much the same proceedings were going on in the Senate. Senator Golding Fairfield of Denver was chosen president, and the usual committees were appointed, and an unusually large number of House employees were engaged. Politically, all this patronage belonged to the Republicans in both houses; morally, the Democrats might have been considered more favorably. Within the next few days many bills will be introduced, some of them freaks, of course; then the Assembly will get down to business. Already sponsors for various measures are busy seeking to make friends for their cause. This is an evil, everywhere present, but it cannot be avoided; it also has its good side. If you visit the Legislature some day, you will witness contests, political and parliamentary, among some of the brainiest men of the state, where millions are at stake or the good of some institution involved. The personnel of the Assembly is good, and fairly divided, between youth and age, homeliness and beauty, Democrats and Republicans. Glancing over the body in joint session, we see farmers, teachers, lawyers, doctors, insurance men, workmen in the crafts, as well as women, for there are three of them. Colorado was one of the first states that recognized that women had "certain inalienable rights," and gave them the ballot. Politicians do not represent, necessarily, the "survival of the fittest," but rather the survival of, politically, the strongest. Darwin's theory may be right, but it does not always work in politics. In the House, men like Headlee Sweinhert, Lacy, and others, are leaders; in the Senate, "Billy" Adams, though small in stature, is the "Big Bertha" of that body in influence and, for the first session, Senator Eaton is the big noise. There may be some humorists, but if so, that fact has not yet developed. However some of these fellows look rather FUNNY. Some of them look "green," but green things are usually growing things, and so we have hopes. Thirty Conventions Stock Show Week. Denver.—Over thirty conventions, annual meetings, and get-together luncheons will be held in Denver during National Western Stock Show week, Jan. 13 to 20. Among those that are of particular interest to stockmen will be the annual meeting of the Colorado Stockgrowers' Association, and meetings of all the various breed organizations in the state. Pure and one-third rates will be in force on all railroads from Jan. 11 to 15, and are good for return until Jan. 23. WANTS PLEDGES CARRIED OUT GOVERNOR SWEET SUGGESTS ABOLISHMENT OF RANGERS AND CAPITOL MANGERS. FARMERS' AID URGED LOWER TAXES AND REDUCTION OF EXPENSES OUTLINED IN INAUGURAL ADDRESS. Denver. — Upon assuming office, Governor Sweet, in an inaugural address, demanded that the measures which he advocated in primary and general election campaigns be enacted into law by the Legislature, both Houses of which are controlled by Republicans. Governor Sweet outlined a far-reaching program, which aims at the reduction of administrative expenses, lower taxes, a state levy on incomes and the passage of several laws designed to relieve the farmer and stockman. Wants Pledges Carried Out. "Colorado has a most antiquated and inefficient method of administering state affairs," he said. "I am sure that usage and custom will not blind us to glaring defects in our present laws. Every man in this room is pledged to this reform, and let us see that we make good our pledges." Revision of the administrative code, "that authority be centralized and division of responsibility eliminated," was demanded by Governor Sweet, who said that "a great number of boards, bureaus and commissions have been established, resulting in many overlapping duties and much disputed authority with little co-ordination." The report of the survey of state institutions conducted by the bureau of municipal research of New York would be transmitted to the Legislature later, he said. This report, he informed the legislators, will suggest some changes which will seem drastic, and others which will call for constitutional amendments. Strengthening of the authority of the chief executive in regard to the budget was urged as making for efficiency and economy. Discusses Highway Question. Although Governor Sweet said he did not wish to discuss state finances in detail at this time, he suggested that the State Land Board be authorized to sell a sufficient number of government bonds now held in investment funds to enable them to buy all state warrants at par, and thus remedy the evil which results from the selling of state warrants at a discount. In discussing the highway question Governor Sweet emphasized the necessity for better roads, adding that "while we should practice rigid economy, we must not act in a parsimonious spirit toward the present generation, thus setting back civilization and retarding intellectual and social progress." Advocates State Income Tax. Passage of a state income tax law, which, he said, "is the only way to protect the honest taxpayer against the dishonest return of the unscrupulous taxpayer," was advocated by Governor Sweet, who said that such a law would be a step toward the removal of the injustice and the inequality which was inevitable in our present tax system. As evidence of the added income, which would be available under such a measure, he pointed to the fact that the federal government now collects $25,000,000 a year in income taxes in Colorado. Co-operative Marketing. The following legislation for agricultural relief was specifically recommended: A law not only to permit, but to promote co-operative marketing among farmers and stockgrowers. Establishment of a bureau of markets, with a market director "whose duty it shall be to give counsel and leadership in the organizing of co-operative marketing associations." State action to provide adequate storage for agricultural products in cases where private capital cannot be provided. Legislation which would either permit the loans of state funds for the construction of warehouses, or would permit the state to buy or build warehouses outright and lease them to farmers' associations on satisfactory terms. Demands Agricultural Relief. In concluding his recommendations for agricultural relief, Governor Sweet said: "I would remind you, however, that all marketing problems cannot be solved by law or the extension of statue credit. It remains for the farmers to co-operate. Legislia Gold Output Increased. Gold Output Increased. Washington—Mineral production in Colorado, Arizona and Idaho in 1922 generally showed an increase over the output in 1921, the Department of the interior announced here. Arizona's gold production was $3,618,000 last year, compared with $2,930,305 in 1921, but the output of this metal in Colorado decreased from $6,835,328 in 1921 to $6,500,000 in 1922, and in Idaho from $545,731 in 1921 to $490,000 last year. The Arizona increase was attributed to the smelting and refining of copper ore. tion can only provide the method and point the way—the farmer himself must act. I firmly believe that all our people are anxious for the success of our farmers, but it remains for the farmer to avail himself of every means provided for his benefit." Enactment of a blue sky law "to protect the investing public from the frauds and misrepresentations of wildcat speculations," was recommended. Governor Sweet also said that the rigid enforcement of the prohibition law was one of the primary obligations of the state, and called for an appropriation sufficient to make such enforcement possible. To Abolish Ranger Organization. 10 Abolish Ranger Organization. The ranger question was dismissed briefly by the new executive, who called for the repeal of the law creating the ranger organization, which he said had "created an overlapping of duty, a divided assumption of authority, an absence of co-operation, a lack of efficiency and a heavy burden upon our already overburdened taxpayers." Enforcement of the laws, as said, should rest with the sheriff's and constables, backed by the National Guard and, if necessary, by the army of the United States. Economy to Be Watchword. There is a necessity for economizing in all state departments, including the military, Governor Shoup said, adding that while he believed in the National Guard and wished to make it efficient, he did not favor compulsory military training or such preparations as would foster the war spirit. "The people of Colorado have placed me in charge of their military forces for the next two years," he said. "I shall see that life and property are protected. I am confident that the members of the National Guard will stand behind me, and I shall encourage the guard in every way and urge our citizens to give it their moral and material support." Amendments to the direct primary law which would make it more useful will be looked upon with favor by Governor Sweet, he said, although he deprecated any attempt which might be made to repeal the law. Prompt ratification of the Colorado river compact was called for by the new executive, who suggested possible extension of the compact principle to other interstate streams, and who urged continued appropriations for the protection of the state's water interests. Taxation for Trucks. Extra taxation for trucks carrying freight "which shall bear some relation to the extra cost of construction, upkeep and repair of highways made necessary by the use of motor trucks," and increased license fees for passenger cars were advocated. Governor Sweet also said that he saw no reason why Denver should not collect its own auto license fees, just as every other country in the state does, and thus relieve the state of the expense of many employés now engaged for this purpose. Abolition of the State Board of Capitol Managers and vesting the management of the state's property in some other existing department under an officer especially appointed and qualified for this service was recommended by the governor, who said that he was confident such action would result in a very substantial savings in operating expenses. Raps Civil Service Commission. "The civil service commission law as now administered is a farce. It is being used to construct a bipartisan political machine for the special benefit and use of whichever party happens to be in power. The board goes through the form of appointment for fitness, but it is an absurdity to call it by the name of civil service. The effect of the present law is infinitely worse than the old spoils system. The law provides that only those persons of known devotion to the merit system shall be appointed as members of the commission. This requirement has not been observed and, unless this is done, I recommend the repeal of the law as the best way out of the situation. Personally, I am a friend of the law, but the travesty now being enacted under the name of civil service is responsible for much of the inefficiency existing in our state government." Recommends New Insane Hospital. After recommending improvement of the state hospital for the insane at Pueblo, the creation of a new hospital and the site of the state home for mental defectives at Ridge, Governor Sweet summed up his message to the Legislature as follows: "I am convinced that you have come here with only the welfare of the state and its people impressed on your hearts, and that you will give to the many grave problems confronting the state the earnestness, the serious thought and the untiring efforts which they demand. I feel sure there will be no attempt through the practice of partisan politics to block the passage of those measures which are so greatly needed to bring a larger degree of prosperity and well being to the people of Colorado." New Officials Take Oath. Denver. After swearing in Governor Sweet, Chief Justice Scott administered the oath to Robert F. Rockwell, Republican, lieutenant governor; Carl S. Milliken, Republican, secretary of state; A. M. Stong, Republican, state auditor; Harry E. Mulnix, Republican, state treasurer; Russell Fleming, Democrat, attorney general, and Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford, Democrat, superintendent of public instruction. John W. Sheafer and John Campbell were sworn in as justices of the Supreme Court. MR. AND MRS. E. R. PAGE, PROPS.

If she has any other hours of ease, a negligee of some sort invites her to be comfortable and charming at the same time—and this is a consummation devoutly to be wished. She can begin the day in a breakfast coat, and end it up in a boudou robe, spending part of it mean- and eyes. The pretty headdress and low-heeled slippers correspond with its style and they are important accessories with any negligee. Caught in the camera, all dressed up in their party frocks, these two little girls are pleased with life in general, and with themselves and their finery in particular. It is very nice when great occasions happen along, like birthday parties and the like, to THE THE THE AN EXQUISITE NEGLIGEE while, in a hostess gown or tea gown—all of them graceful, colorful and becoming. The breakfast coat has been replaced, more or less, by the boudou wrap, a coat that wraps about the figure at the waistline. It is usually made with wide sleeves and is sometimes trimmed with fur, corduroy with moufflon trimming being the favorite combination of this sort. Corduroy, in many pleasing colors, like albatross and French flannel, makes boudou wraps that are attractive and practical, and is one of the most popular materials for negligees. Quilted silk, made on kimono lines, and French flannel, in the same style, are finished with borders of colored silk and sometimes have shawl collars. In tea gowns, crepe-satin slip-over chiffon velvet robes and crepe de chine garments are featured. The graceful long-line models are much like chemise dresses, with straight panels at the front and back and floating, chiffon sleeves that traill with the trailing gown. Dark colors, as black and brown in crepe satin are trimmed with multicolored embroideries and have linings in bright colors repeating one of the A THE MUSEUM OF THE WORLD THE MAGIC OF THE ROCKING HORSE colors in the embroidery.

It is very nice when great occasions happen along, like birthday parties and the like, to O discover one's self arrayed in gay colors and silks that shine like the petals of flowers. For little girls, as for older ones, georgette crepe and taffeta silk are mainly depended on for party frocks, and they make the prettiest ones imaginable. There are some new printed silks, in patterns showing small flowers against a light-colored background, that will come in for attention as soon as they are displayed, but they will not outshine the dresses made of plain or changeable taffeta or those of georgette. The older of the two girls pictured has a frock of blue georgette worn over a thin silk slip. It is so simply made that it does not need to be described—just a plain, straight skirt, hemed at the bottom, and a short-sleeved waist with paneled overblouse. Ribbon in three colors makes the pretty girdle, with ribbon roses and rosettes set about it and two long ends hanging at the left side. Lovely glossy curls, that girls have a right to be proud of, are just what one would expect to find among the possessions of this fine little lady. They are fastened back with a small barrette. Pink taffeta and plocet edged-frills of the silk are all that it makes to make I the gay dress of the small girl at the right. It has a deep yoke and a straight short skirt. Where they are joined a narrow twisted ribbon is placed, ending in two little apple blossoms of ribbon at the left side. A wreath of tiny silk flowers adds its prettiness to a winsome head.
