LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY FATHER O'RYAN DENOUNCES KLAN AS 'CRUEL, BLOODY, TREASONABLE' BODY Accuses Organization of Attempting to Rob Millions of Catholics, Jews and Negroes of Liberty; Other Speakers Give Views. VOL. XXIX. FATHER O'RYAN DEE 'CRUEL, BLOODY, TR Accuses Organization of lions of Catholics, Jew erty; Other Spea BRANDING the Ku Klux Klan a "cruel, bloody, unprincipled, treas- sonable organization," Father O'Ryan of St. Leo's Church, one of Denver's oldest Catholic priests, in a scathing address delivered at the "Open Forum" meeting at Grace Church, Sunday afternoon, accused it of "attempting to rob eighteen and a half million Catholics, and other millions of Jews and Negroes, of their lib- erty and constitutional rights. "These opinions are not merely my personal convictions," said Father O'Ryan, "for six months I have been studying and investigating, and I have scores of magazine articles and other writings by authentic men on the subject which bear me out. "The very name of the Klan is sinister. It dates back to that band of men, organized after the Civil War—and necessary, perhaps, at first—which degenerated from a feared, protecting influence into a terror that stalked at night abroad the land. It was only after action had been taken by federal judges and by President Grant, himself, that they were controlled." Quotes Protestant Writer. Sherwood Eddy, noted Protestant writer, who recently investigated conditions in Georgia and the South was quoted as saying, "The Ku Klux Klan is an ignorant, disreputable, contemptible band, organized against the Catholic, the Negro and the Jew. Their leaders are men without principle, cheap politicians, radicals, and no minister connected with them is in good standing in his church. "They attempt to usurp the powers of the government, and by intimidation and spreading false propaganda to gain their own ends. Their membership presents none of the sturdy citizens of the community, and anyone with $10 to purchase their 'nightshirt' can join." "In their oath they swear allegiance only to their leaders, given the names of 'Imperial Wizard,' 'Kleagle,' 'Dragon' and other tommof appellations, and promise unconditionally to be always ready to follow the edicts and mandates of their mysterious leaders. They swear to give an unquestioned allegiance to unknown men that no man could or ought to give to anyone but his God," declared the Father. Cross Termed "Supreme Blasphemy. Their fiery cross is the supreme blasphemy. The cross to Christians is the emblem of pity and infinite love; they degrade it into a call for plotting, treason and murder. The menace of the klan is so great that it was necessary to call a meeting of governors of different states to seek a method of combating it. "Controlling the last election in Oregon they succeeded in passing a law which will, in 1926, abolish parochial Catholic schools in that state. President Butler of Columbia University, in commenting on this situation, declared that 'children are the wards of the parents and not the state, and their education should be under the supervision of parents in so far as the selection of schools is concerned.'" Citing the fact that the South harbored the greatest ignorance and illiteracy in the United States, Father O'Ryan declared that big, noble ideas and ideals could not be fostered of such environment. "To mix religion and politics is to undermine the real American principles of freedom to worship and freedom to vote." he continued. Says Negroes Need Protection. "Is the glory of the Civil War, where brother fought brother for the principles of freedom, this freedom relating especially to the Negro, to be reviled and dragged in the dust by a ruthless, treasonable mob? The Catholic and the Jew are well able to take care of themselves," said Father O'Ryan, "but the 12,000,000 Negroes need protection, and that protection should be given them by the federal government at Washington if necessary. "The Catholic is not on the defensive. It is the Protestant who must answer for an organization that attempts to tear down the flag and to break the constitutional laws of the United States. The Catholics have 358 institutions for the aged, 580 orphan asylums, and hundreds of sisters who have dedicated their lives to the assistance of the sick and the poor in the United States. How does the klan match this work for the welfare of man?" Following Father O'Ryan's talk fifteen minutes was allowed for the asking of questions by the audience. After the period of questioning fifteen minutes was allowed speakers to take the floor and give their views each speaker being allowed three minutes. Three-Minute Speakers Talk. The first speaker declared that, while not in sympathy with the klan, it was often necessary for small bodies of men to adjust matters that had the approval of the entire community, which, without a leader could do nothing for itself. A second speaker declared that the klan had done much to suppress crime in the South and in other districts. He also added that Sherwood Eddy, not being a klansman could not know the inside workings of the organization and could only gain a superficial knowledge of it. "You cannot abolish violence_by using violence," declared a third. "Injustice cannot be undone by the perpetration of greater injustice. Things should be done in the open and both sides should be stated. If the klan held its meetings in the open; if an 'Open Forum' such as the one in Denver, existed in every city, the klan might accomplish some good." "There are financial interests back of the klan," said another. "These interests are injecting the religious question itno American economics for the purpose of breaking strikes and causing dissention so that no concerted action can be taken to the detriment of capital. The same thing was tried with the American Legion but the strength of the leaders prevented it." James Eads How, millionaire hobo, making the last talk, declared that he had met many members of the klan and knew them to be chiefly young men of good character following leaders with dangerous views, Education, DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1923 COLORED WOMEN'S INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL In the current Southern Workman (published by Hampton Institute), Mrs. Booker T. Washington writes of the recent organization of an international council of colored women whose purpose it is to study conditions of all women of the darker races. Courses of study are already in operation in certain communities. One group is studying the condition of women in Africa; another that of the women of India. A committee on education has planned a course of study for clubs, schools, and leaders in general. The heads of schools and colleges are being urged to place in their curricula well organized courses of study on the darker peoples of the world along with the history of other races. For one to appreciate himself he must know himself, and certainly for another to appreciate him, there must be definite knowledge of his attainments and aspirations. Pride in one's self comes through racial consciousness. Already Porto Rican women have begun to exchange ideas with Negro Americans, and there is correspondence between women in Liberia, South Africa, in the Philippine Islands, in Haiti, in Brazil, and in other countries. Another committee will direct a study of social conditions and political affairs, the object of the council being to bring about justice and fair play for every woman in every land. DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF MADAM E. AZALIA HACKLEY. By Eva Carter Buckner. If I could I'd paint a word picture; I'd choose a rare study in grey. Not somber no, no—but as cheery And glad as the fair month of May. Azalia, the flower, the study. Speak softly and gently the name— Our own, but the Giver hath called her To, from whence her loving soul came. Her bird-like voice charming and happy, She sang as a bird sings its lay. Your heart and your very soul thrilling With joy as she sang on her way. Oh, she could have gone from her people. But she was too loyal and true; She saw in them beauty and goodness And thus found her own work to do She taught them by percept to value The gifts He upon them had bestowed; To know there was ever a duty To Him and to self that they owed. The wonderful chorus is training To sing to the Maker above. And happy was she in her mission For this was the work of her love. Tis said there'll be singing in heaven. And that there'll be something to do Perhaps if the Master is willing, She'll take up her own work anew. he said, was the thing needed to bring these men to a realization of their error. "The American people can be trusted," said Father O'Ryan in a closing summary. "The principles of the constitution are too strongly founded to be overthrown, for if such an organization were allowed to thrive it would mean the end of the country, of freedom, and no religion would exist tomorrow."—The Rocky Mountain News. Cheyenne, Wyo. News Presiding Elder A. Wayman Ward held second quarterly meeting at the A. M. E. Church on Sunday, Jan. 14. Rev. Ward delivered encouraging sermon at morning and evening service.

Mayo, Judges, Mrs. Mary Wimbly, Messrs. Frank McCombs and Clarence J. Toliver. The debate was interesting. The opposing sides proved by able discussion the fact they had given the subject attentive study. The judges were unable to decide, therefore the debate may be renewed at a future date. Mrs. Wimbly addressed the club, complimented the members for the interesting work, and made helpful suggestions for the future. Rev. Fairly delivered a short address, paid a tribute to Mrs. Wimbly, who resided for a short time in the city but at once identified herself with the church socially and spiritually. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Toliver, invited guests of the club, delivered well chosen remarks. Mr. Toliver stated he was delighted to meet with a band of Christian citizens who have proved that real fun and clean social exercises can be had without doing those things forbidden by church discipline. He was proud to note so many men who are active members of the organization. Praised the members for alertness in the readiness to meet the requirements of the church and community. A delicious three-course luncheon was served. Each member and guest was presented with a carnation, departed with thanks to Mr. McCombs and success to the club.

ATTACKED BY LARGE FLORIDA MOB, BLACK MEN THROW UP RUDE FORT, FIGHT FOR HOMES AND FAMILIES Crowd Howls for Blood of Man Accused of Attack—Murder, Burning, Rape and Pillage—Shoot Old Men and Women. Rosewood, Fla., Jan. 12.—Eighteen white men and four Negroes are known to be dead and many others wounded in a savage mob battle that has raged here since the evening of Jan. 5, following an attempt by a mob of lawless whites to take the law into their hands in the case of a colored man accused of attacking a white woman. Hearing that the accused man, Jesse Hunter, was in hiding in the village of Rosewood, whites from the neighboring towns invaded the Negro section and attempted a house to house search. They were met with a hail of bullets at the first house they came to. The inmates, recognizing the belligerency and lawless composition of the howling mob did not wait to ask for an explanation of their visit. They opened fire and prepared to sell their lives dearly. Two whites were killed outright at the first shower of lead. Four others were wounded, one probably fatally, and the whites retreated to await reinforcements. At this point Negroes from other houses came to the aid of their besieged brothers, and a rude barricade was thrown up, and loop holes made for rifle fire. Negro ex-soldiers put their knowledge and experience gained in France to use and an effective defense was soon organized. The whites, reinforced, came back, 600 strong, and a battle royal developed. In spite of their reinforcements the whites were persistently beaten back by the little determined band within the rude improvised fort. Robbed of their prey the mob set itself to the safer task of destroying the undefended Negro residences and the village church and lodge buildings. Finally, their ammunition almost exhausted, the little band decided to emulate the action of the "Guards at Cahill" and, with clubbed muskets, made a rush through the besieging forces and, breaking through, sought the refuge of the surrounding woods. The vacated house revealed the bodies of two victims of the mob, one being that of an old woman. Another colored woman, apparently 40 years of age, was shot and killed on the same day not far from here. At Bronson, a few miles from here, a colored man was found on the roadway, his body riddled by bullets. On a lonely road another colored victim, a farmer, was found strung to the limb of a tree. Two Negro women were attacked and raped between Rosewood and Sumner. An older colored woman was severely maltreated on the same stretch of road and forced to submit herself to sexual degradation. After the Negroes had exhausted their ammunition and had escaped to the woods, the whites entered the Negro section and set fire to the houses. This was systematically done, one house being burned at a time. When the authorities made inquiries to as- NO.14. certain the guilty persons no one could be found who knew anything about the burnings. BISHOP BENJAMIN T. TANNER, OLDTST BISHOP OF THE A. M. E. CHURCH, DIES. Bishop Benjamin T. Tanner, celebrated religious dignitary, and for many years leader in the advancement of the Negro race, died last Monday, Jan. 15, at his late residence, 2908 Diamond street, Philadelphia, at the age of 87. Known throughout this country as a religious character of broad views, almost unlimited patience, with a desire to sacrifice for the betterment of his people and the uplift of any community in which he dwelt, Bishop Tanner was highly respected by all who knew him, and his works so long established as to bring about the great and good results that many of his people are enjoying today, stand out as a permanent monument to his memory. Not only the African Methodist Episcopal Church has been successful and blessed because of his attachment, but all Philadelphia and many parts of this country have shared bountifully from his wisdom, good counsel and guidance. He was the father of the great painter, Henry O. Tanner, who resides in Paris, and who survives him. Having known Bishop Tanner for many years, and following the good examples that he gave his people, we are free to offer this tribute, and also extend heartfelt sympathy to his relatives from THE COLORADO STATESMAN and the large body of subscribers.

THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS A BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR-EIGN COUNTRIES. IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE. WESTERN C. S. Townley, brother of A. C. Townley, former president and at present national organizer of the Non-partisan League, was killed in an automobile grade crossing accident near Lincoln, Neb. Los Angeles police are seeking the owner of a small automobile which carried gunmen who shot and killed William S. Fisher, a private detective, as he was walking along the sidewalk near his home in the southwest section of Los Angeles. The meeting of the Pacific Coast baseball league broke up at Portland, when directors representing the Oakland, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City and Portland clubs walked out after their refusal to vote on a resolution granting the Vernon club equal territorial rights with the Los Angeles club at Los Angeles. After fifty hours' deliberation the jury in the trial of Frank Robinson, former sheriff of Nueces county, Texas, and three other defendants charged with the murder of Fred Roberts, large ranch owner, last October, acquitted the defendants, according to a telephone message received in San Antorio from Laredo, where the trial was conducted. A concurrent resolution calling for ratification of the Colorado river compact signed by representatives of seven Western states at Santa Fe, N. M., last November, was introduced in the senate of the sixth Arizona legislature by Senator Keene St. Charles of Mohave county. Passage of the resolution by both houses would be required for ratification of the compact. The south cut bank of the Red river was made the boundary line between Texas and Oklahoma by order of the Supreme Court at Washington in the famous Red river case. The decision is a compromise of the conflicting contents of the United States and Texas, the cut bank for most of the distance, where the contest centered at the Big Bend, being between the bluffs which the United States insisted should be made the boundary, and the south bank of the river at its normal stage, which Texas urged should be made the line. WASHINGTON Representative Bourke Cockran, Democrat, New York, declared in the House that regardless of any effort the government might make, the eighteenth amendment could not be enforced in certain sections of the country. Representative Thomas, Democrat, Kentucky, a Democratic member of the House judiciary committee, declared in a minority report that the committee failed to investigate impartially the Keller impeachment charges against Attorney General Daugherty.

The American government will make no reply to the German protest against the French movement into the Ruhr, it was said at the White House. It was said further that the Washington government can see at this time no way by which its desire to be helpful in the reparations crisis can be advanced and is not, therefore, moving in the matter in any way. An unusual tribute was paid by the House Tuesday to Representative Stedman, Democrat, of North Carolina, the only Confederate veteran serving in that body, when he rose to plead for federal consideration of a bill to permit the erection in Washington of a monument to the Southern Negro Mammy.

Henderson c. the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, produced $4,500,000 in gold, 6,000,000 ounces of silver, 22,000,000 pounds of lead, 3,600,000 pounds of copper, and 24,000,000 pounds of zinc, as compared with $6,835,328 in gold, 5,631,657 ounces of silver, 19,600,466 pounds of lead, 4,153,442 pounds of copper, and 2,360,000 pounds of zinc in 1921. Average prices in 1922 were $1 for silver, $0.134 for copper, $0.057 for lead, $0.057 for zinc, as compared with $1 for silver, $0.129 for copper, $0.045 for lead, and $0.05 for zinc in 1921. The situation in the Colorado metal-mining industry during the first half of 1922 was disappointing, but there was a marked improvement as the year drew to a close, particularly when the November prices for lead and zinc warranted hope for stability of market. There was also increased interest by capitalists in investigation of the industry. The price of nearly $1 an ounce for silver from domestic ores under the Pittman act was all that kept many Colorado mines in operation in 1922, and the fact that the government's purchases of silver under this act will probably be completed within the next twelve months give cause for serious thought. The price of lead was low until November, and lead-silver ores depended on the silver content to carry the costs.

Howbert, collector of internal revenue, announced that the 1922 blanks for income tax reports of individuals having incomes under $5,000 have been forwarded through the mails. Prompt returns after the receipts of the blanks are requested by the department. Assistance will be given by officials of the department if the taxpayers come early and avoid the rush.

In addition, $6,000,000 more will be spent by the same company for high-power voltage lines into Denver, Boulder, Greeley and Cheyenne and for other improvements. Denver.—Knut Brandt, 18-year-old orderly at Fitzsimons hospital, who was found dead at Sixteenth avenue and Grant street, was murdered. This finding of the special army board probing his death was indicated in conducting a military funeral for the youth. Although the atual report of the board is carefully shielded, MaJ. H. D. Porterfield, in charge, admitted that military services are not conducted for a suicide. Grand Junction.—For every five couples in Mesa county who said "I will" in 1922 there was a couple parting at the cross roads with "Never again" on their lips, according to the records kept by the county clerk and the county judge. Two hundred and fifty-one couples were wed, while fifty-five bade farewell to marriage vows and sought again the solitude of single blessedness. Greeley.—Students of the Colorado State Teachers' College will either be reasonable in their social activities and demands for dancing, or sororities and dancing will go, according to the stern edict of President John G. Crabbe, delivered to students and faculty members alike. Denver.—The average acreage of wheat planted annually in Colorado during the past tour years, according to reports of county assessors to the State Immigration Department, is 1,616,000 acres, of which 1,240,000 acres was winter wheat and 375,000 acres spring wheat. Pueblo.—Three persons were injured in a freak wreck on the Denver & Rio Grande Western narrow gauge railroad at Odon Springs, Colo., when the train turned over a moment after passengers had been taken on at the station.

On Monday, the 5th, to the surprise of many, Lieutenant Governor Earl Cooley resigned and was immediately appointed on the land board; he was succeeded in office as lieutenant governor by PETER B. Senator Golding Fairchild of Denver, president of the Senate, pro tempore; the following day, at noon, Senator Rockwell, having resigned as a senator, took the oath of office as lieutenant governor. Some talk was heard of testing these matters in court, but the probability is that the matter will stand. In the meantime, William E. Sweet was sworn in as governor, succeeding O. H. Shoup, who has served the state as chief executive for four years. Governor Shoup retires with little to regret, much in his favor, and the good will and esteem of all. Promptly at high noon Tuesday, Governor-elect Sweet, escorted by retiring Governor Shoup, came up the grand stairway of the Capitol building, where they were met by the members of the Supreme Court, entered the House chamber amid decorations in profusion of the American colors, palms and roses. Members of the Legislature wore a white carnation, and the state employés wore a red carnation. "America" was sung, the chaplain, Rev. Dr. Rader, offered prayer; Mr. Sweet was presented, took the oath as administered by Justice Tully Scott, and immediately proceeded to deliver his inaugural address before a great throng of citizens. Governor Sweet's address reached the high level of statesmanship, and was delivered in a clear strong voice. His remarks were greeted with much applause, and were direct, sincere and unmistakably clear in their meaning. With the new governor there are several paramount issues, each supreme in their respective spheres. He laid stress on the reorganization of the state government in its various branches, spoke forcibly of the proposed marketing law, and plead for the farmer in a way to leave no doubt in the minds of any that the farmers of Colorado, in their governor, "have a friend at court." The effect of the governor's address was good, cementing men of both parties closer together, and was less extreme than his opponents had expected. Following the address an impromptu reception was held in the executive offices, and great throngs greeted the new executive, with high hopes for his success. In the evening, in the Brown hotel, the Colorado League of Women Voters gave a public reception to Governor and Mrs. Sweet. Though the women of Colorado have had the ballot many years, this is the first time they have had a prominent place in the inauguration ceremonies. Besides many prominent women in the league, active in the social, political and educational life of the state, members of the House and Senate, state officials, members of the Supreme Court were present. Mrs. O. H. Shoup and Mrs. Dewey C. Bailey were active spirits in making the reception a success, and which will be remembered as one of the most delightful affairs in Colorado's history. Legislative matters were somewhat at a standstill while this was going on, for there seemed to be a disposition to wait the message of the new governor that work might be done in harmony with his wishes. There seems to be a desire to lay aside partyisms and all pull for Colorado. This was the dominant strain of Governor Sweet's message, and folks at the capitol are singing a new rhyme: Sweet harmony, sweet harmony, I love thy name, Sweet harmony! Much legislation is due to the favorable action of the standing committees. There are thirty-nine of these in the House, and many in the Senate. It will be well to keep your eye on the committees. Mr. Shapiro of California, authority on co-operative marketing, addressed a joint meeting of the Senate and House. The address was great, and wonderful in its grasp of the subject, and in the information imparted. The legislators enjoyed it; the governor is already making good in his election promises. Legislation cannot solve all our problems, but legislation can even the flood gates and let prosperity pass through. De Valera Not in United States. Rochester, N. Y.—Eamon De Valera is in Ireland, according to his mother, Mrs. Catherine Wheelwright. She made this statement on learning of an announcement in Boston that he would address a meeting of the American Association for the Recognition of the Irish Republic in Boston, Jan. 28. This announcement gave rise to a report that he was in hiding in America. "My son is over in Ireland, where they need him," Mrs. Wheelwright said. "When he returns, he'll let his mother know." COMPROMISE ON BRITISH DEBT AMBASSADOR HARVEY WILL RE TURN TO LONDON IN NEAR FUTURE. AGREEMENT IS REACHED COMMISSIONS AGREE ON BRITISH PAYMENTS TO UNITED STATES Washington.—Discussions between the American and British debt commissions have been adjourned, but with an understanding that negotiations for refunding Great Britain's war debt to United States would be continued through the British embassy here. Following the final joint session of the commissioners, an official spokesman voiced the expectation that the consultations which the British group are to have with their cabinet immediately after they reach London would pave the way for an agreement in principle in time for action by the American Congress at the present session, which ends March 3. It was agreed that otherwise a refunding arrangement could not become operative under one year. The official spokesman declared there was not anything that should stand in the way of an understanding within the very near future. Generally speaking, he said, a plan had been shaped up, but there remained for final determination the exact interest rate and the amounts of the annual payments to be made by the British government. He said the commissions were not very far apart on these. Mr. Baldwin and the other members of the British mission, departed for New York. It was stated that Mr. Baldwin expected to confer with the cabinet on the day of his arrival in England, and that the negotiations would be resumed through the British embassy during the week beginning Jan. 28. Details as to the various suggestions that have been put forth during the conversations of the commissions still were withheld, but it was learned the British government regarded an interest rate of 3 per cent as fair and equitable, while the Americans presented arguments in favor of a rate somewhat higher, but at the same time well below the $4\frac{1}{4}$ per cent fixed in the debt refunding law. It was stated that from the first of the discussions the five American commissioners — Secretaries Mellon, Hughes and Hoover and Senator Smoot, Republican, Utah, and Representative Burton, Republican, Ohio— had been in full agreement as to the American viewpoint. Likewise, there was no division of opinion between the two British delegates, Mr. Baldwin and Montagu C. Norman, governor of the Bank of England. Coincident with the adjournment of the debt discussions, it was made known that Ambassador Harvey, who was recalled from London before the arrival of the British mission in this country, would return to his post in the very near future. Aviators Crash in Cheyenne. Cheyenne, Wyo.—Caught in a fifty-mile gust of wind as they hovered 500 feet in the air near the Cheyenne aviation field here, P. S. Oakes, pilot, of Cleveland, Ohio, and William Acor of Cheyenne were instantly killed when their plane crashed to the ground. It was Acor's first flight. The blaze enveloped the wreckage of the plane after its gasoline tank had exploded. Wallace Reid Is Dead at Los Angeles Los Angeles, Calif.—Wallace Reid, hero of romantic film plays, lost his life in fighting to overcome the drug habit, the end coming at a sanitarium in Hollywood, where he had been un under treatment for more than a month. He had been unconscious for nearly two days, during all of which his wife, Dorothy Davenport, was at his bedside. The direct cause of death was congestion of the lungs and kidneys, which resulted from the actor's collapse when he endeavored to break off the use of narcotics. Wild Riots in French Chamber. Paris.—After what is said to have been the wildest rioting in the history of the French Parliament, during which fifty deputies engaged in a free-for-all fist fight on the floor, the Chamber of Deputies, by a vote of 371 to 143, decided to suspend the parliamentary immunity of Marcel Cachin, the Communist member. Several deputies, notably radicals, during the debate expressed disapproval of the government's action. They declared that M. Cachin was being persecuted for his opinions. Price Tend Is Upward. Washington.—The general level of wholesale prices in December showed no change from the November average, although the tendency was upward, the Department of Labor announced here. An increase of $11\frac{1}{2}$ per cent over the level of December, 1921, was shown, however, farm products leading with an advance of $20\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. Of 404 commodities on which comparable data for November and December was available, 170 advanced in price last month, seventy declined and the remainder was unchanged. PROPHETS PREDICT PROSPEROUS YEAR ECONOMIC EXPERTS OF GOVERNMENT HOPE FOR STABILITY AT HOME AND ABROAD. SECRETARY HOOVER CHEERED Savings Have Been Effected in Running the Country's Business, Though Democrats Assert More Economy Might Have Been Effected. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington. — Government officials whose duty it is to turn in reports of economic conditions seem to be fairly well agreed that the new year upon which we are just entering will be rather more than fairly prosperous. It has been held that government officials are optimistic by force of the offices which they hold, but nevertheless no government servant can afford to paint too rosy a picture lest later its presentation shall refute him as a prophet. Now that it seems reasonably certain that America, somehow, some day, is to attempt to aid in straightening out the tangles of Europe and the world, there is renewed hope that coming stability abroad may help to maintain stability in the United States. Secretary Hoover of the Department of Commerce is known as being a hard-headed engineer and business man. He seems to be cheerful concerning general conditions and the outlook for the future. Some of the departments of the government are not costing as much to maintain as they did a year or two ago, and this year or two ago does not include any part of the real war period. There have been cuts in the estimates and in the appropriations, and it is only fair to say that the hands holding the knives are the physical property of both Republicans and Democrats. Economy as Campaign Argument. Politics is a curious thing. The Republicans are going to depend to some extent on their record of economy in the government for a campaign plea in 1924. The Democrats are going to depend upon the plea that if the suggestions they have made as a minority party had been put through the saving to the government's treasury deposits would have been much greater than is the present case. Moreover, of course Demoeracy will claim that Republican comparisons are made with expenditures during the war, when they were necessarily great. There have been cuts in the appropriations for the army and navy and in the appropriations for nearly every other department of government. Now, as a matter of fact, anything that is cut from the expenses of a department is a greater cut than might appear on the surface. The country is growing larger all the time and the cost of administering its many activities naturally increases. It costs more to run ten custom houses than it does to run eight. It is perfectly conceivable, therefore, that even if it should cost more to run a department one year than it did the previous year, nevertheless a real saying may have been effected. There will be no omnibus public building bill probably for some time to come. Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats as parties care to enter into this field of expense, when the demand is for lower taxation. Nevertheless there will be disappointment in many places in the country because certain public buildings which the communities had longed for as a useful ornament are not to be erected for perhaps a long time to come. Europe's Idle Wish to Work. Students of economies in Washington say the evidences are strong that every element in the population in every country abroad is anxious that industrial work shall be resumed quickly on a prewar scale. A large part of Europe has been loafing because it has had to loaf. The students of economics are to some extent also students of human nature, and they say that, stories to the contrary notwithstanding, the idle workmen in England who are getting government aid to support them while they are enforcedly idle, would much prefer to do some work to earn the money which they are getting. If the United States or any representative body of business or banking interests in this country, with the approval of the government, could find some means to stabilize conditions in Europe, the belief of government officials here is that the new year will be prosperous not only for the United States but for the peoples of all other countries. Senators and representatives sometimes show personal resentment because of the seemingly all-pervading thought that every congress likes to be extravagant. Virtually every debate that is heard in the house or senate is charged with expressions which demand economy of administration and economy in general government activities. It is true that congressmen sometimes are inclined to be extravagant in their demands, but this is true only when their own districts or states are demanding something which is expensive and which the representatives or senators think they must sanction because "it will make the people at home think well of us." Watching the Red Propaganda. Washington has read with keen eye and sharp interest the proceedings of the convention of the so-called Workers' party of America, held in New York city. Why the keen eyed and sharpened interest? Here is the answer: At the close of its convention the Workers' party sent a message to the Communist Internationale at Moscow saying that the party had "devoted itself to the constructive work of building a powerful revolution in America." These words were added to this: "We go forward with new strength and enthusiasm. Long live Communism and the International." Washington knows something about the work of the agents of communism in America, and it is probable that other cities of the country know it just as well. Washington, however, is charged with the work through certain official agencies, of checking activities directed to the undermining of the democratic institutions of this country. Washington's interest must necessarily therefore be active. The blunt truth is that under camouflage of benevolence Russian agents are working day by day in this country, and the wonder is if some of the good men and women—they are mostly women—who are working in behalf of the communistic theories and practices of Lenin and Trotsky, know what they are doing. Some of them do know, and are doing what they are with eyes open and with the definite purpose of accomplishing that which they have determined upon. Agents of Communism. A good many Americans who are what they themselves like to call liberal have been in Russia and have come back to tell their tales. Nearly all of the prominent ones in the list of visitors, the ones who know how to anoint their tongues with the perfumed charm of seductive argument, were communists when they went to Russia, and communists when they came back. Some of them are oratorical, some of them are merely flowery. They would be harmless were it not for the fact that the unoratorical and unflowery think that sounding periods and posies of prose contain irrefutable facts, and that if the world is to be saved some American Lenin and some American Trotsky must save it. Those who went to Russia and have come back to talk their fellow American citizens into becoming communist crusaders visited Lenin and Trotsky only, listened to their pronouncements and looked on the pictures of conditions which were drawn to order. There have been a few visitors to Russia to return to America with the true tale of things, but these visitors did not get their training in certain social centers of the United States where oratory of a certain kind is taught along with doctrines that destruction is the only means to make construction possible. Construction, as it is taught in some of these social centers is communism. Danger in Many Clubs. Something has been said before this in Washington dispatches about what one of the same journals devoted to the interests of American women has quoted about interlocking directorates. Virtually every organization, governmental or private, which is intended to do something for the general welfare of the citizens of this country has in it as members men and women who believe that with communism established in the United States the woes of the country can be whistled away. Many of the men and women who hold government or private welfare organization jobs hold membership in clubs composed of ordinary citizens and citizenesses. They get on the directing boards of these organizations and if they are active workers they can do pretty much as they choose, while the sleepy members think that as long as somebody will work all is well. The result is that propaganda becomes effective and congress at times is led to believe that the various organizations which are petitioning for this and that frantic and fantastic thing represent the thoughts of all the men and women of the various communities. This sort of thing-goes on throughout the rest of the United States, but it is more deadly here in Washington, because here its influence is immediately felt. Alaskans Are Great Readers. What the territory of Alaska lacks in numbers it makes up in receptive minds. The residents of the North are, in comparison to those in the states, three times the devourers of reading matter of all kinds. Magazines average ten per month to the person in Alaska, three times the figures for the states. Immense shipments of all the national magazines go to Alaska points regularly, while newspapers and their Sunday editions make up a heavy mall traffic. To add to the volume of imported reading matter, Alaskan towns publish 14 weeklies, five dailies and seven monthly papers. Telephones in Geneva Geneva, the headquarters of the League of Nations, was a good selection from the telephone standpoint. With a population of about 140,000, it has approximately 14,000 telephones, or a development of ten telephones for every 100 people, which is very considerably higher than the European average for the cities of that size, though not up to the average in the United States. ```markdown ``` THE COLORADO STATESMAN III the Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and gress; a faithful mirror their wants, their hopes, ir best aspiration.

These are natural and established trade routes; and they indicate a growing business of exchange in which the United States occupies a central position of advantage. In the naval strategy of the United States the canal is invaluable. It permits the concentration of virtually all the power of the navy on either coast or at any point between—the Canal Zone in itself an important supply and repair base—and its rapid movement over any part of the coast line of the United States. In the broader field of influence the Panama canal is a key position for the United States. All who pass through the canal or call at its terminals get a firsthand impression of American manufactured goods, of American equipment and methods, of American standards of living and of business. It is a thorough exhibit; and I am pleased to say that it has been an excellent exhibit. Our Canal Zone is a little sample of transplanted United States, as well as the site of great construction; and as such I believe it is having considerable influence in directing the people in the countries of the west coast, northern South America, and of Central America to looking toward the United States rather than Europe for leadership in progress. In a practical way the requirements of our quarantine service have brought home to the neighboring countries the advantages of having ports sufficiently sanitary to allow ships coming from them to escape detention at the canal. Water Power Developed and Undeveloped Totaling 54,000,000 Horsepower In the United States today there is water power developed and undeveloped amounting to 54,000,000 horsepower. Seventy per cent of this water power is west of the Mississippi, and, of this $70\%$, $40\%$ is in the Pacific Coast and Mountain States and $23\%$ is in the three Pacific Coast states. At the same time there is in the United States 114,300,000 horsepower in prime mover power, but of this 65,000,000 horsepower is in locomotives which should not perhaps be used in this analysis, or at least not all of it. Of the balance, 23,000,000 is used by public utilities and 26,000,000 by manufacturers, mines and quarries. Of this prime mover power $70\%$ is located east of the Mississippi and $30\%$ west of the Mississippi. Now if water power were substituted for steam power, assuming the development of all of the 54,000,000 potential water power resources of the country, the saving in coal per annum would be 600,000,000 tons, the value of which on a pre-war basis would be $2,000,000,000. The equivalent saving in oil would be 2,000,000,000 barrels, with an approximate value of $2,000,000,000. At present prices the values would be nearly double—or $4,000,000,000. Its equivalent in man power would be 648,000,000 men working eight hours a day. I do not know William S. Flynn, governor-elect of Rhode Island. I do not even live in his state. I do not think much of his politics, being myself a Republican. But I think that Mr. Flynn must be a thoroughbred and a gentleman. In an interview he is quoted as saying: "I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth. My father was only a policeman, but I was brought up to live a clean, useful life, to honor my father and mother, to be just to all men, to respect law and promote order, and I have tried to carry out those fundamentals." Here at last is a man who gives to his parents some credit for his success! I am not a father myself or a mother, either. But I am weary of the public men who shout to the four corners of the earth that they are self-made; that when almost infants they were obliged to get out and shift for themselves, that everything they have become is absolutely due to their own efforts. Did their fathers and mothers all die the day they were born? Have they no tenderness in their hearts, no consideration for the feelings of their old parents? The Only Official in China Who Regards Himself as a Public Servant Wu Pei-fu is a small man, very slight, with diminutive hands and feet, but as hard as nails and as agile as a cat. He has a narrow, well-shaped head, soft amber eyes, and the slightly aquiline features which are the mark in both China and Japan of the aristocrat. On the parade ground he is something of a martinet, but no one minds because he works as hard as any soldier. In his headquarters he is the most unassuming and in some respects unimpressive military officer in China. He is probably the only public official in China who sincerely regards himself as a public servant. Having the power of a dictator he will not assume the functions. His plea invariably is that he has no right to interfere in such matters. He removes tyrants and creates opportunities for the people to call their parliaments or set up the officials they want, but he says he has no authority to do these things for them. Once the fighting is over, his major ambition always seems to be to get into the most inconspicuous corner available and wait hopefully for the people to do the rest. Meanwhile the people are waiting for him to move, and the usual result is mutual disappointment. THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE FRONTIER OF THE WORLD LAGOON LANDSCAPE TREAT BACK COUNTRY PART C.

At the same power in prime motives which show FRAUD, deceit, ruin and destruction have marked the trail of Garveyism throughout this country during past years until the very name has become a stench, a byword and a hiss in nearly every American home. And now to render complete the destruction following in the wake of the serpent's trail, which to a degree "out-venoms all the serpents of the Nile," murder was added last week by the cowardly assassination of Dr. J. H. W. Eason at New Orleans, a former Garvey leader and officer. There is a bare possibility, of course, that the Garveyites may be able to purge themselves of any direct complicity in the death of Dr. Eason, but the finger of suspicion will as assuredly point to them as it does to the Ku Klux Klan in localities where theatening letters precede an outrageous attack. No amount of explanation and excuses will suffice to remove the stigma that has overtaken this once promised universal movement. Be it said to the criminal cunning and genius of the master minds back of the assassination of Dr. Eason, however, that they at least possessed keen discernment in the matter of time, and undoubted shrewdness in the selection of locality. Louisiana is just now supplying the background, scenery and stage setting for the most sordid series of crime and bestiality that has been uncovered in this country for many years. We have been told for some time that Marcus Garvey had a peculiar fondness for the southern white man, approved of his discrimination and mistreatment of the American Negro and even patted the Ku Klux Klan on the back and told them that their plans for settling race problems were correct. Suiting, then, his action to his words, what is more natural than that he should seek to lend color to the nauseaating tragedy of Mer Rouge by pulling off a similar event in New Orleans? The man who can justify lynching certainly would not scruple to urge assassination if such properly served his purpose. Dr. Eason was in Denver some years ago, at the time the Garvey movement was at its height, and he proved a splendid advocate of the cause. We did not agree with his findings at that time and openly expressed the belief that the time would come when he would see the folly of the cause. It came quicker than we dared hope. Dr. Eason was an intelligent man and an honest man. When he returned to the New York headquarters after a trip across the country, the revelations of trickery, fraud and dishonesty that confronted him was astounding. He rebelled, as any honest man would. He turned on the searchlight of publicity; he stood in the watch tower and warned others lest they fall into the trap. He lived to see the temple of ruin erected on American soil by Marcus Garvey fall of its own weight. And then he gave up his life with the hallowed blessing that, "Greater love hath no man than this, that he gave up his life for another." THE ARM OF PROTECTION.

Now if water the development of the country, the value of which equivalent saving mate value of $2,000 double—or $4,000,000 men works THE Rev, Father William O'Ryan of St. Leo's Church, and one of the most eminent of Denver's Catholic divines, sounded a high note, far above that of most of the reputed Christian leaders of today, in a forceful address delivered before the "Open Forum" at Grace Community Church last Sunday. It is not our purpose to discuss Fr. O'Ryan's address. The scholarly priest possesses a fund of knowledge and a command of the English language that is marvelous. We believe that he knows what he wanted to say and spoke his mind freely. Certainly his conclusions are capable of but one interpretation, and that is strong conviction of purpose, coupled with the highest conception of Christian ideals. We do think, however, that more than passing notice should be given that portion of his address in which direct mention was made of the Negro and his relation to the Ku-Klux Klan. Citing the fact that the South harbored the greatest ignorance and illiteracy in the United States, Father O'Ryan declared that big, noble ideas and ideals could not be fostered of such environment. Says Negroes Need Protection. the civil war, where brother fought brother for the this freedom relating especially to the Negro, to be in the dust by a ruthless, treasonable mob? The are well able to take care of themselves," said Fae- 12,000,000 Negroes need protection, and that pro- ven by the federal government at Washington." true truths sounded from a human breast than the e twelve million Negroes of this nation ask and cer- n, it is not that character of protection that applies "Is the glory of the civil war, where brother fought brother for the principles of freedom, this freedom relating especially to the Negro, to be reviled and dragged in the dust by a ruthless, treasonable mob? The Catholic and the Jew are well able to take care of themselves," said Father O'Ryan, "but the 12,000,000 Negroes need protection, and that protection should be given by the federal government at Washington." Never were greater truths sounded from a human breast than the above. Yet while the twelve million Negroes of this nation ask and certainly need protection, it is not that character of protection that applies to us alone. In the matter of legal justice and honor this country is still semi-barbaric. Give to us laws that will apply to all alike, that will protect the white man against himself, that will meet outlawry fearlessly, whether hooded in white or black, and Catholic, Jew and Negro will enjoy all the protection that is due them. We trust there will never be another "black law" placed upon the statute books of this country. The whiter and purer they are the better, if only they are administered by white and pure hearts. The trouble is not in the laws, but in the character and conscience of those called upon to internet them. What the country needs just now is a larger number of intelligent, fearless, outspoken Christian leaders of the type of Father O'Ryan. The most glaring and monumental cowardice of the age is to be found in the American pulpit. The advocacy of human rights in their true relation to national existence is seldom heard there. Location and color and prejudice are the moulds of infinitely more sermons than is the Lord's Prayer or Sermon on the Mount. The same church bell that is used to call worshippers together on Sunday is not infrequently used to call for the assembling of a mob on Monday. This the Negro has learned bitterly and, like the Catholic and Jew, has reached the point where he finds it necessary to take care of himself. In direct physical combat we would be at the mercy of many elements and would be wiped out in short order. Thus it becomes an intellectual fight, a battle waged along lines of more spiritual and conscientious statesmanship. Our hope that such leadership may make itself manifest arises from just such noble champions of justice as Father O'Ryan, an eminent Catholic speaking in Denver, and Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, noted Jewish preacher, speaking in New York. Rabbi Wise sums up the situation thusly: Will Fight Together. "There shall be a minimum of justice and liberty laid at your door, and on the other hand, those Americans who, like you and me, love our country, who believe that America and even-handed justice must be interchangeable terms—we stand with you, we will support you, we will fight with you, lawfully in the American way, not in the lawless way of the lyncher; we will fight with you as men and women until this shame shall have been ended, until lynchings shall forever have passed from the vocabulary and the life of the American people. 'And you, sons and daughters of the Negro Race, will render a great service, a supreme service, to your and my America if instead of bowing your backs beneath the yoke of this foul and fiendish oppression you say to America: 'We are men; we mean to live as men. Our wrongdoers shall be punished and utterly punished under and by the processes of the law, but lynching shall not be the portion of any man, white or black, who lives under the American skies.'" By COL. J. J. MORROW, Canal Zone Governor. The Panama canal is a key position in the nation's defense and in development of international commerce. For the trade of the west coast of South America with Europe and the Atlantic seaboard of the United States, which is the bulk of the foreign trade of that section, the canal is practically the sole passageway. For the grain, lumber, salmon and fruits of the west coast of North America the canal affords easy transit to Europe as well as to the Atlantic coast of the United States and Canada. The traffic with China, Japan and the rest of the Far East area, principally from the Atlantic coast of the United States. ids in bulk that over any other of the trade routes except the United States coastwise trade. These are natural and established trade routes; they indicate a growing business of exchange in which the United States occupies a central position of advantage. In the naval strategy of the United States the canal is invaluable. It permits the concentration of virtually all the power of the navy on either side at any point between—the Canal Zone in itself an important support repair base—and its rapid movement over any part of the coast of the United States. In the broader field of influence the Panama Canal is a key position for the United States. All who pass through the canal or call at its terminals get a first impression of American manufactured goods, of American equipment and methods, of American standards of living and of business. It thoroughly exhibit; and I am pleased to say that it has been an instant exhibit. Our Canal Zone is a little sample of transplanted United States, as well as the site of great construction; and as such I believe it living considerable influence in directing the people in the countries the west coast, northern South America, and of Central America to go toward the United States rather than Europe for leadership in business. A practical way the requirements of our quarantine service have right home to the neighboring countries the advantages of having sufficiently sanitary to allow ships coming from them to escape station at the canal. Water Power Developed and Undeveloped Totaling 54,000,000 Horsepower By JOHN B. MILLER. Southern California Edison Company. In the United States today there is water power developed and developed amounting to 54,000,000 horsepower. Seventy per cent of water power is west of the Mississippi, and, of this 70%, 40% is in Pacific Coast and Mountain States and 23% is in the three Pacific states. At the same time there is in the United States 114,300,000 horsepower in prime mover power, but of this 65,000,000 horsepower is in locoes which should not perhaps be used in this analysis, or at least all of it. Of the balance, 23,000,000 is used by public utilities and 10,000 by manufacturers, mines and quarries. Of this prime mover 70% is located east of the Mississippi and 30% west of the Mississippi. Now if water power were substituted for steam power, assuming development of all of the 54,000,000 potential water power resources in the country, the saving in coal per annum would be 600,000,000 tons, value of which on a pre-war basis would be $2,000,000,000. The silent saving in oil would be 2,000,000,000 barrels, with an approx-value of $2,000,000,000. At present prices the values would be nearly—or $4,000,000,000. Its equivalent in man power would be 648,000 men working eight hours a day. "But I Think That Mr. Flynn Must Be a Thoroughbred and a Gentleman" "But I Think That Mr. Flynn Must Be a Thoroughbred and a Gentleman" By R. WHITFORD. Letter in Voice of People. I do not know William S. Flynn, governor-elect of Rhode Island. I not even live in his state. I do not think much of his politics, being of a Republican. But I think that Mr. Flynn must be a thoroughbred and a gentleman. In an interview he is quoted as saying: "I was not born with a spoon in my mouth. My father was only a policeman, but I was right up to live a clean, useful life, to honor my father and mother, just to all men, to respect law and promote order, and I have tried tory out those fundamentals." Here at last is a man who gives to his parents some credit for his success! I am not a father myself or a mother, either. But I am weary of public men who shout to the four corners of the earth that they are made; that when almost infants they were obliged to get out and for themselves, that everything they have become is absolutely due their own efforts. Did their fathers and mothers all die the day they born? Have they no tenderness in their hearts, no consideration for feelings of their old parents? The Only Official in China Who Regards Himself as a Public Servant By RODNEY GILBERT, in Asia Magazine. Wu Pei-fu is a small man, very slight, with diminutive hands and but as hard as nails and as agile as a cat. He has a narrow, well- head, soft amber eyes, and the slightly aquiline features which the mark in both China and Japan of the aristocrat. On the parade and he is something of a martinet, but no one minds because he is as hard as any soldier. In his headquarters he is the most unas- ing and in some respects unimpressive military officer in China. He is probably the only public official in China who sincerely re- himself as a public servant. Having the power of a dictator he not assume the functions. His plea invariably is that he has no to interfere in such matters. He removes tyrants and creates opnities for the people to call their parliaments or set up the officials want, but he says he has no authority to do these things for them. Once the fighting is over, his major ambition always seems to be Continental Fresh Air Window Ventilators Continental FRESH AIR WINDOW VENTILATOR THE DENVER D W. K.

CHURCH NOTES. C. E. Chapman, Minister; Res. 2926 Glenarm Pl. Phone Champa 4879-W. Last Sunday was a splendid day from every viewpoint, and all who were present were amply paid for having come out. Everything seemed to have taken on new life; new interest was manifested in every service throughout the day. The hour in the Sunday School was one of the best yet had in the Sunday School from all angles; and all present verily enjoyed the hour. The lesson was about "The Spirit of Christian Service," and it was highly enlightening, inspiring and helpful. All of the pupils evidenced a desire to learn and showed unusual interest in the discussion of the lesson. Two very splendid audiences were present both morning and evening last Sunday, and two excellent services were had. The Rev. C. E. Chapman, minister in charge, was the speaker at both hours of service. At the morning hour he spoke on "Breaking the Alabaster Box," and at the evening hour on "Faith in Its Fulness." There were two accessions at the evening hour of worship. Next Sunday there will be the usual program: Sunday School, 9:45 a. m.; praise service, 11 a. m.; praise service, 7:30 p. m. Sunday will be Quarterly Conference Day. Dr. R. P. Tyler of Topeka, Kan., will present the message both morning and evening hours. A cordial invitation is extended all church goers; a hearty welcome is awaiting everybody. THE DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING CO. FUNERAL NOTICES.

Before one of the largest audiences that ever crowded its way into Short- er Chureh, the Phyllis Wheatley Branch of the Y. W. ©. A., Thursday night presented Prof. Geo. Morrison and his nation-famed orchestra in the finest concert ever given in Denver. Every number rendered was enthu- slastieally received, and the program though somewhat lengthy held the in- terest of the vast audience to the very end. It would be difficult for the most discerning critic to single out any one production or artist. ‘The entire program was high class, finished and artistic. Of course Mable Cole caught the fancy and admiration of the audi- ence, as she always does at each pub- lic appearance. Eugene Montgomery's yoeal solo was of the pleasing kind, and the trombone solo by Theo. Mor- ris brought forth thunderous applause. Hattie McDaniels gave a reading that was aecorded an unusually warm re- ception. But it was left to Prof. Mor- rison himself to give the audience its greatest thrill of delight. Selecting a musical number that was a favorite of his dear mother (who by the way had a seat In the audience), instead of the one listed on the program, Morrison, the incomparable; Morrison, the gen- ius and wizard of music, played as he has never been known to play before. By a skillful touch that seemed almost bewitching and uncanny, he caused his violin to give forth tones of almost human-like expression and soulful ten- derness. The occasion was one of tri- umph, a triumph for Prof. Morrison and his entertainers ; a triumph for the Phyllis Wheatley Branch, and for Miss Richey, and a triumph for the large audience that gave Its open approval of every number rendered. The entire proceeds of the concert go to the Y. W. GC. A. a noble purpose. IN PROTEST. By Sarah Collins Fernandis. So they've sought a new sensution for this modern jazzing craze In the ruthless xyncopation of those sweet old plaintive lays That the souls of their forefathers, ‘neath affliction’s heavy rod, Coined from bitterness of sorrow. 1s they reached for touch with God. When they stole “away to Jesus” at the end of life’s hard day And in loneliness of spirit “couldn't hear nobody pray ;” Or, with faith at last trlumphant, sang of “freedom” that would come, Of “Sweet Chariot,” low swinging, sent to bear their spirits home ; Or of God who could deliver as in times of sacred lore; Of the chill of death's “deep river,” crossed to Canaan's blissful shore! O ye unthinking heritors of this rare [und sacred trust— Of a race's soul's outpouring—Jjazz in pleasure if you must; But give rein to modern fancy for the rhythmie thrills you crave, Leave, O leave untouched, unsullied, those dear songs. your fathers gave! —RSouthern Workman.

In so doing these seven states of the Colorado River basin have— are legislature of each of the seven signatory states and by congress. In so doing these seven states of the Colorado River basin have— Settled by treaty instead of by resort to the United States Supreme court fundamental and ultimately important interstate rights; Settled at small expense within 11 months after the appointment of the commission a multitude of disputes that threatened years of litigation blocking the development of the Colorado basin; Settled by treaty instead of by resort to the United States Supreme court fundamental and vitally important interstate rights; Settled at small expense within 11 months after the appointment of the commission a multitude of disputes that threatened years of litigation blocking the development of the Colorado basin; Set a precedent in American history; Taken the first step toward the creation of an empire within an empire, the development of which taxes the imagination and will affect individual living from coast to coast. The headwaters of the Colorado river, as the map shows, are in Wyoming just south of Yellowstone National park, and in northwestern Colorado, Water flowing from Milner pass in the Rocky Mountain National park falls 10,759 feet on its course to the sea. The Green and the Grand come together in Utah to form the Colorado. The Colorado in Arizona flows through Grand Canyon National park. It empties into the Gulf of California in Mexico. It is nearly 2,000 miles in length and more than a score of rivers contribute their waters. It irrigates and annually menaces with floods the Imperial and Palo Verde valleys in California and the Yuma valley in Arizona. Its basin totals 242,000 square miles of American territory. It is no exaggeration to say that the original contentions of the seven states were so far apart that an agreement seemed hopeless. But Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, appointed by President Harding as the representative of the United States, was there as chairman of the commission. Enough said! The compact has been signed by the representatives of the seven warring states and bears this: "Approved. Herbert Hoover." Following is the official text of the compact, with the omission of certain technical details not necessary to a comprehensive understanding of the whole: "The States of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming having resolved to enter into a compact under the act of the congress of the United States of America approved August 19, 1921 (42 Stat. L., p. 171), and the acts of the legislatures of the said states have through their governors, appointed as their commissioners W. S. Norviel, for the State of Arizona; W. F. McClure, for the State of California; Deph E. Carpenter, for the State of Colorado; J. G. Scrugham, for the State of Nevada; Stephen D. Davis, Jr., for the State of New Mexico; R. E. Caldwell, for the State of Utah; Frank C. Emerson, for the State of Wyoming, who after negotiations participated in by Herbert Hoover, appointed by the President as the representative of the United States of America, have agreed upon the following articles: "Article I. The major purposes of this compact are to provide for equitable division and apportionment of the use of the waters of the Colorado river system, to establish the relative importance of different beneficial uses of water, to promote interstate comity, to remove causes of present and future controversies, and to secure the expeditious agricultural and industrial development of the Colorado River basin, the storage of its waters, and the protection of life and property from floods. To these ends the Colorado River basin is divided into two basins, and an apportionment of the use of part of the water of the Colorado river system is made to each of them with the provision that further equitable apportionments may be made. "Art. II. As used in this compact: (A) The term Colorado River system' means that portion of the Colorado river and its tributaries within the United States of America. (B) The term 'Colorado River basin' means all of the drainage area of the Colorado River system and all other territory within the United States of America to which the waters of the Colorado River system shall be beneficially applied. (C) The term 'States of the upper division' means the States of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. (D) The term 'States of the lower division' means the States of Arizona, Calif., and Nevada. (E) The term 'Lee Ferry' Yellowstone Nat'l Park WYOMING Green River Grand River Keyene Great Salt Lake Salt Lake City Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park Denver UTAH COLORADO Mesa Verde Nat'l Park Zion Nat'l Park Rocky River Grand Canyon Nat'l Park San Juan River CALIF. ARIZONA Phoenix Gila 'River Santa Fe MEXICO Juma MEXICO Flo Grande THE SEVEN STATES means a point in the main stream of the Colorado river one mile below the mouth of the Paris river (extreme southeast corner of Utah). (F) The term 'upper basin' means those parts of the States of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming within and from which waters naturally drain into the Colorado River system above Lee Ferry and also all parts of said states located without the drainage area of the Colorado River system which are now or shall hereafter be beneficially Lee Ferry. (G) The term 'lower basin' means those parts of the States of Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah within and from which waters naturally drain into the Colorado River system below Lee Ferry, and also all parts of said states located without the drainage area of the Colorado River system, which are now or shall hereafter be beneficially served by waters diverted from the system below Lee Ferry. (H) The term 'domestic use' shall include the use of water for household, stock, munielpal, mining, milling, industrial, and other like purposes but shall exclude the generation of electrical power. "Art. III. (A) There is hereby apportioned from the Colorado River system in perpetuity to the upper basin and to the lower basin, respectively, to exclusive beneficial consumptive use of 7,700,000 acre-feet of water per annum, which shall include all water necessary for the supply of any rights which may now exist. (B) In addition to the apportionment in paragraph (A) the lower basin is hereby given the right to increase its beneficial consumptive use of such waters by 1,000,000 acre-feet per annum. (C) If, as a matter of international comity, the United States of America shall hereafter recognize in the United States or Mexico any right to use of any waters of the Colorado River system, such waters shall be supplied first from the waters which are surplus over and above the aggregate of the quantities specified in paragraphs (A) and (B), and if such surplus shall prove insufficient for this purpose, then the burden of such deficiency shall be equally borne by the upper basin and the lower basin, and whenever necessary the states of the upper division shall deliver at Lee Ferry water to supply one-half of the deficiency so recognized in addition to that provided in paragraph (D). (D) The states of the upper division will not cause the flow of the river at Lee Ferry to be depleted below an aggregate of 75,000,000 acre-feet for any period of 10 consecutive years reckoned in continuing progressive series beginning with the first day of October next succeeding the ratification of this compact. (E) The states of the upper division shall not withhold water, and the states of the lower division shall not require the delivery of water which cannot reasonably be applied to domestic and agricultural uses. (F) Further equitable apportionment of the beneficial uses of the waters of the Colorado River system unapportioned by paragraphs (A), (B), and (C) may be made in the manner provided in paragraph (G) at any time after October 1, 1963, if and when either basin shall have reached its total beneficial consumptive use as set out in paragraphs (A) and (B). (G is omitted). "Art. IV. (A) Inasmuch as the Colorado river has ceased to be navigable for commerce and reservation of its waters for navigation would seriously limit the developments of its basin, the use of its waters for purposes of navigation shall be subservient to the uses of such waters for domestic, agricultural and power purposes. If the congress shall not consent to this paragraph, the other provisions of this compact shall nevertheless remain binding. (B) Subject to the provisions of this compact, water of the Colorado River system may be impounded and used for the generation of electrical power, but such impounding and use shall be subservient to the use and consumption of such water for agricultural and domestic purposes and shall not interfere with or prevent use for such dominant purposes. (C) The provisions of this article shall not apply to or interefere with the regulation and control by any state within its boundaries of the appropriation, use, and distribution of water. "Art. VI. Should any claim or controversy arise between any two or more of the signatory states: (A) with respect to the waters of the Colorado River system not covered by the terms of this compact. (B) Over the meaning or performance of any of the terms of this compact. (C) As to the allocation of the burdens incident to the performance of any article of this compact or delivery of waters as herein provided. (D) As to the construction or operation of works within the Colorado River basin to be situated in two or more states or to be constructed in one state for the benefit of another state; or (E) as to the diversion of water in one state for the benefit of another state. The governors of the states affected, upon the request of one of them, shall forthwith appoint commissioners with power to consider and adjust such claim or controversy, subject to ratification by the legislatures of the states so affected. "Nothing herein contained shall prevent the adjustment of any such claim or controversy by any present method or direct future legislative action of the interested states. "Art. VII. Nothing in this compact shall be construed as affecting the obligations of the United States of America to Indian tribes. "Art. VIII. Present perfected rights to the beneficial use of waters of the Colorado River system are unimpaired by this compact. When ever storage capacity of 5,000,000 acre-feet shall have been provided on the main Colorado river within or for the benefit of the lower basin then claims of such rights, if any, by appropriators or users of water in the lower basin against appropriators or users of water in the upper basin shall attach to and be satisfied from water that may be stored not in conflict with Article III. All other rights to beneficial use of waters of the Colorado River system shall be satisfied solely from the water apportioned to that basin in which they are situated. "Art. IX. Nothing in this compact shall be construed to limit or prevent any state from instituting or maintaining any action or proceeding, legal or equitable, for the protection of any right under this compact or the enforcement of any of its provisions. "Art. VII. Nothing in this compact shall be construed as affecting the obligations of the United States of America to Indian tribes. "Art. VIII. Present perfected rights to the beneficial use of waters of the Colorado River system are unimpaired by this compact. When ever storage capacity of 5,000,000 acre-feet shall have been provided on the main Colorado river within or for the benefit of the lower basin then claims of such rights, if any, by appropriators or users of water in the lower basin against appropriators or users of water in the upper basin shall attach to and be satisfied from water that may be stored not in conflict with Article III. All other rights to beneficial use of waters of the Colorado River system shall be satisfied solely from the water apportioned to that basin in which they are situated. "Art. IX. Nothing in this compact shall be construed to limit or prevent any state from instituting or maintaining any action or proceeding, legal or equitable, for the protection of any right under this compact or the enforcement of any of its provisions. "Art. X. This compact may be terminated at any time by the unanimous agreement of the signatory states. In the event of such termination all rights established under it shall continue unimpaired. "Art. XI. The compact shall become binding and obligatory when it shall have been approved by the legislature of each of the signatory states and by the congress of the United States." "Art. XI. The compact shall become binding and obligatory when it shall have been approved by the legislature of each of the signatory states and by the congress of the United States." "The big thing about the Colorado river compact," says Secretary Hoover, "is that it breaks the blockade on development of the whole river. It allows us all to go ahead with river development and with flood protection to the Imperial and Yuma valleys. "The big thing about the Colorado river compact," says Secretary Hoover, "is that it breaks the blockade on development of the whole river. It allows us all to go ahead with river development and with flood protection to the Imperial and Yuma valleys. "The first step is to settle the controversy between the upper and lower districts of the Colorado basin. There can be no development until that is settled. Ratification by the states of the pact agreed upon by the Colorado River commission will speedily accomplish this. If the matter is forced into the Supreme court it may require years. "Yet, behind all the precise and commonplace language of this compact lies the greatness and romance of the West, the building of a million more homes out under the blue sky in security and good will." "Yet, behind all the precise and commonplace language of this compact lies the greatness and romance of the West, the building of a million more homes out under the blue sky in security and good will." While the commission made no recommendation concerning the site of the dam. Mr. Hoover said he favored its construction at or near Boulder canyon. This is below the Grand canyon and close to the line between Arizona and Nevada. The annual flow of the Colorado is about 20,000,000 acre-feet. One-third of this is new used --- STATE CAPITOL NEWS LETTER A bill introduced by Senator Jones of Pueblo, would extend the term of jury services from three weeks to nine weeks. A bill legalizing the holding of boxing bouts was introduced by Representative A. Thomas Pollock of Denver and Robert D. Elder of Leadville. Three bills to clear up the doubts that surround the present law regarding the publication of legal notices were introduced by Representative Joseph McClung of Lamar. Representative Halsey M. Rhoads of Denver introduced a measure that would make it a capital crime, punishable either by death or life imprisonment, to commit a robbery with a dangerous weapon. A group of bills introduced by the Pueblo senators, Joseph D. Grigsby and David W. Jones, affect the state fair. One is to increase the mill levy one-one hundredth of a cent to raise approximately $15,000. The establishment of a state hospital for the insane at Brush, Colo., and the appropriation of funds for a site are asked for in a measure that was introduced by Representative John Holmberg of Morgan county. Resolution by Senators Saunders and Callen calling for the appointment of a committee to investigate the high prices of food and rent was read in the House and referred to the mercantile and manufacturing committee for action. The eight child welfare bills prepared by a committee appointed by Governor Shoup four yea.s ago were introduced in the lower house by Representatives Paterson of Pueblo and Mabel Ruth Baker and Manning of Denver. Governor Shoup's appointments Raymond Miller as president of the land board; of Tully Scott as member of the public utilities commission, and of Frank F. Nolan as public trustee of Boulder county, were confirmed by the Senate. The formation of the county of Patterson from the eastern half of Las Animas county is provided for by a bill introduced in the lower house of the General Assembly by Representatives Cook and Romero of Las Animas county. The creation of a board of three members to review all motion pictures shown in Colorado is provided for by a measure to be introduced in the House of Representatives by Representative Randolph Cook of Las Animas county. An old-age pension measure was introduced by Representati es Cook and Romero of Las Animas county. This bill would give a pension of $25 a month to all dependent persons over the age of 65 years who had lived in the state for a period of ten years. Governor Sweet wants to have all the extemp-raneous parts of his message with regard to the state rangers to the Legislature Tuesday included in the journals of the Senate and House of Representatives, instead of a portion of them as the journals now contain. Lieut. Gov. Robert F. Rockmell, Republican, believes that the present session of the Legislature must solve three great questions before farming and live stock in Colorado can be on a firm basis. These three questions are marketing and distribution, facilities for credit, and transportation. Members of the Legislature also have expressed thems ves and are united on any law to benefit the farmer and the live stock man. The agricultural bills, as already announced, include the co-operative marketing bill, compelling railroads to furnish cars and also one that gives the proposed co-operative marketing associations and all other shippers an equal show in supply of cars. This is known as the "car distribution act," and will, it is said, end the "cornering of cars" by big firms. Under it cars are furnished on the percentage basis, as, for example, if one concern had 60 per cent of the shipment it gets 60 per cent of the cars. Generally speaking, the co-operative marketing bill urged upon the General Assembly by Aaron Sapiro of California, meets with general approval of the legislators, but the live stock men are not satisfied as to how they can form an association such as he proposed. The child welfare bills urged by Judge Ben B. Lindsey, various organizations and former Governor Shoup have been introduced in the Legislature. In the Senate Senators Golding Fairfield, Rep., Denver, and John J. Tobin, Dem., Montrose, stood sponsors for them. Representative Romero of Huerfan county stated on the floor of the House that his motion to have the military excluded from the chamber during the inauguration ceremonies was directed against the state rangers and not any branch of the United States service. He was granted unanimous consent to have the motion stricken from the records of the House. The giving of false information to a newspaper would be punishable with a fine, under the provisions of a bill introduced by Representative Axel P. Johnson of Denver. 1027 Twenty-first St. Denver Office Phone Main 270-785-3000 Hours appointment, Res. 2337 Glenn- arm Place, Phone Champa 3303. DR. HUFF'S office phone is Champa 6001.

We Are Anxious to Help --- A Ham Should Be Thoroughly Cooked Before It Is Eaten. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The United States Department of Agriculture gives the following directions for cooking an old ham, as for example, one that has been home-cured and perhaps hung for a year or two before using. Soak the ham several hours, thoroughly remove all mold and loose pieces, and rinse well. Cover with cold water, add two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, one-half cupful brown sugar, four cloves and one bay leaf, and heat to boiling. The amount of cloves and bay leaf may be increased if desired for larger hams. Reduce the heat to a constant simmer and allow the ham to cook at this temperature rate from 20 to 30 minutes in weight. Remove fire, but keep the ham in the in which it was cooked until then remove from the container allow to drain. Take off the skin, score the inch blocks, and cover with a of brown sugar and crumbs with cloves one inch apart. Bake in a slow oven until browned, basting at intervals one-half cupful of water a tablespoonful of vinegar. should always be thoroughly before it is eaten. MANY HOUSEKEEPERS SAVE IN USING SOAP Naphtha Helps to Loosen Dirt in Various Garments. Solutions Will Keep Indefinitely if Covered to Prevent Evaporation— Chipped or Flaked Pieces Are Convenient. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) If the supply of hot water is limited, naphtha soap may be used to good advantage with cold or lukewarm water, for the naphtha helps loosen the dirt in the clothes. It is not economy to use a poorly made soap, which may contain free grease or an excess of lye, or both. This is sometimes the case with homemade soaps, but need not be so if good directions (for example, those that come with the commercial lye in tin cans) are carefully followed. Making a soap at home may not be good economy where the fat can be sold for use in a soap factory, the United States Department of Agriculture believes, but it may be a thrifty practice where the fat would otherwise be thrown away. Dirt is removed more quickly and with less danger to silk, wool and all colored and delicate fabrics if the soap is well dissolved in the water, rather than rubbed on. Many housekeepers use a solution or jelly made by heating one pound of soap in five gallons of water, and add enough of this to the water to make suds. A more economical solution, to be used only for white cottons and linens, is made with one-half pound of soap and one-quarter pound of soda to five gallons of water. Soap solutions keep indefinitely, if covered to prevent evaporation. Chipped or flaked soaps dissolve easily in hot water without special heating and are convenient for use in the boiler, the washing machine or for occasional fine laundering. They can be bought economically in barrel lots from laundry-supply houses or manufacturers, and some are retailed in small packages. Cake soap can be rubbed into chips on a household grater; or, if dry, put through a food chopper. Dye soaps are supposed to clean and dye at the same time. It is safer, however, before using the dye soap, to wash the garment clean with white soap and water. The best results come from dipping a garment in a generous quantity of water to which the tint has been added. The color is always fainter after drying than while the garment is wet. The tinting is usually not permanent and the process should be repeated with each laundering. PEANUT MEAL QUITE USEFUL Mixed With Starchy Flours It Makes Very Palatable Cakes, Gems and Hot Breads. When the blanched kernels of peanuts from which the shells have been removed are used in making oil, the press cake can be ground into meal and used with wheat, corn and similar starchy flours to make very palatable and nutritious cakes, gems and hot breads, says the United States Department of Ag-culture. to cook at this temperature at the rate of from 20 to 30 minutes for each pound in weight. Remove from the fire, but keep the ham in the liquor in which it was cooked until cold, then remove from the container and allow to drain. Take off the skin, score the fat in inch blocks, and cover with a coating of brown sugar and crumbs. Stick with cloves one inch apart. Bake in a slow oven until nicely browned, basting at intervals with one-half cupful of water and one tablespoonful of vinegar. A ham should always be thoroughly cooked before it is eaten. Profit in Easter Lilies. A Mississippi farm woman told at a recent short course at the Agricultural and Mechanical college of Mississippi how she had made $150 this year from a single Easter illy given to her nine years ago. With the help and advice of the county extension agent that illy was planted and grown out of doors until, according to reports received by the United States Department of Agriculture, a regular business has been built up, with a steady demand for the illies. KEEP WATER VESSELS CLEAN Coolers Should Be of Such Material as Porcelain or Enameled Ware—Scald Often. The greatest care is required to keep household water vessels clean and in good condition. Water coolers should be of some material, such as porcelain or enameled ware, which is easily kept clean. They should be scaled at frequent intervals. The ice, if it comes in contact with the water, should be of known quality. Doubtful ice should be kept from contact with the water. Many families cool drinking water by putting it in the ice box in glass fruit jars or bottles. Where it is believed or known that the water supply is not pure, a filter should be used. If a filter is used, every precaution should be taken to keep it clean and in good condition, United States Department of Agriculture specialists suggest. An earthenware filter may be cleaned by thorough scrubbing with a brush. Then it should be placed in a pan or kettle of water and boiled. A small piece of wood should be placed under the jar to prevent direct contact with the heated bottom of pan. All Around the House All Around the House Save liquor from sweet pickle, and use in mince meat. Red gooseberry jelly makes a good substitute for guava jelly. Potatoes will be dry and floury if the salt is not added until they are nearly cooked. To remove stains from marble apply a mixture of saleratus and whiting with a damp cloth. To remove paint from any fabric, no matter how long it has stood, take equal parts of turpentine and ammonia. If the bottom crust of the fruit tart is rubbed with the white of an egg it will prevent the juice from soaking into it. When you find a small hole in your aluminum pan, hammer the outside of the pan directly over the hole. It will immediately close and make the pan ready for use again (@. 1923, Western Newspaper Union.) Don't be afraid of changing your mind. Everything else changes; why, then, should your opinions remain the same? Thinking means development. Development means change. Without think! we drift backward.-Lloyd. SEASONABLE DISHES A fruit jelly which is especially good is the following: Take two and one- half tablespoonfuls of gelatin, dissolve in one cupful of boiling water, add when cool a can of minced pineapple and a quart of ginger ale. Mold fuls of gelatin, dissolve in one cupful of boiling water, add when cool a can of minced pineapple and a quart of ginger ale. Mold and serve as a jelly or a salad, with lettuce and mayonnaise. Chicken Souffle.—Put one-half pound of uncooked chicken meat through a meat chopper, then pound in a mortar with one and one-half ounces of butter and the yolks of two eggs; season with salt and pepper and rub through a fine sieve. Beat the whites of two eggs until stiff, and one-half cupful of cream slightly beaten, and add the chicken mixture. Place in a buttered mold, cover with buttered paper and steam sixty minutes. Make a rich white sauce, pour over and serve. English Plum Pudding.—Take one pound each of raisins and suet chopped fine, three-fourths of a pound of stale bread crumbs, one-fourth of a pound each of flour and brown sugar, one pound of currants, the grated rind of a lemon, one teaspoonful each of cloves and cinnamon, one-half teaspoonful of nutmeg, five eggs, one-half pint of fruit juice. Beat the eggs, separating the whites and yolks, mix all together and pack into well greased molds.

There is no "age limit." Many people do not learn how to live until they have passed fifty. Gladstone, at eighty-six, was brilliant. Goethe, at eighty-four, found life full of interest. You are never old until you think you are, DISHES FOR THIS SEASON Here is a dish that the vegetarian and, perhaps, many others will enjoy: Nut Chowder. — Cut two potatoes and one large onion into thin slices.

GOODIES THAT WILL KEEP Stuffed dates, figs and prunes are always a dainty enjoyed by young C Ginger Dates. Remove the stones from large dates and fill with equal quantities of chopped ginger and nuts, using the preserved ginger and molsten with a little of the ginger sirup. After filling the dates, roll them in granulated sugar and pack in boxes, covering with waxed paper. in boxes, covering with water cups. **Fruit Rocks.**—Cream two-thirds of a cupful of butter with one cupful of sugar, add two beaten eggs and when well mixed add one and one-half cupful of flour which has been sifted with one teaspoonful each of cinnamon and cloves.

His standard is not "What will the world say?" but "What is worthy of me?" SEASONABLE DAINTIES During the winter months when fruit, such as oranges, lemons and grapefruit are plentiful, most delicious candied sweets may be prepared from the peel. READING Candied Orange Peel.—Cover the peel of four water oranges with two quarts of water, bring slowly to a boil and simmer until the peel is tender. Drain and let stand for two hours. Remove all the white inner skin and when the peel is dry cut into strips. Boil two cupfuls of sugar with one-half cupful of water until it spins a thread. Put in part of the peel and boll for five minutes; remove with a fork and roll in granulated sugar. Grapefruit or lemon peeling may be treated in the same way; a mixture of the three makes a very nice confection to serve with a cup of tea. Candied Cranberries.—Put two cupfuls of sugar on to boil with three-fourths of a cupful of water. Boil slowly for five minutes. Wash and dry two cupfuls of large, hard, dark red cranberries, pierce each with a darning needle, then spread the berries in a single layer on a granite pan. Pour the sirup over the berries and set them into a moderate oven until they are almost transparent. Remove and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Fruit and Nut Paste.—Take two cupfuls of dates after stoning, one cupful of peanut butter, one teaspoonful of salt. Wash and dry the dates and put through a meat chopper, add the peanut butter and mix well with the salt. Take spoonfuls of the mixture, shape into small apples, put a currant for the blossom end and a piece of candied lemon or orange peel for the stem. Raisin Pie.-Line a pie plate with pastry. To one cupful of seeded raisins add the grated rind and juice of a lemon; beat two egg yolks and mix with one-half cupful of sugar, add a cupful of water, a bit of salt and a few bits of butter. Put into the pastry shell, cover with a crust and bake thirty-five minutes. Nellie Maxwell First Class Meals Served 2444 Washington St., Denver, Colo.

Bath THE story of winter coats has been told, and it is interesting and excellent. The styles show much uniformity, with two predominating types, the straight line and the bloused models, finding about equal numbers of admirers. More or less lustrous pile fabrics, in quiet colors, showing much similarity in texture, are universally used for them. There is no reason for reviewing them now except that, at this time of peep at the styles already launched for spring is enlightening. There are a great many fabrics available for children, but those most extensively used for dressy clothes are flat crepes, crepe de chine, taffeta and printed silks. For everyday wear, ginghams, Peter Pan cloth, cotton and wool crepes, find themselves in the company of heavy Irish linen. One of the outstanding fea- TWO MODELS THAT O MODELS THAT OFFER SAFE INVEST H I 10 A TWO FROCKS IN PLAIN FABRICS each side. Three large buttons provide the front fastening and caracul collar and cuffs contribute a rich finish that will outlast several seasons' wear. The bloued coat at the right is in taupe gray, embroidered in self color, with heavy silk floss. A taupe fox collar and a rich ornament for fastening are important style features. "In silk attire my lady goes," and so do all the feminine members of her family down to the little three-year-olds—when they are much dressed up. Now that the time of year has come when winter weather makes indoors attractive and the children's sewing is under way, a --- peep at the styles already launched for spring is enlightening. There are a great many fineries available for children, but those most extensively used for dressy clothes are flat crepes, crepe de chine, taffeta and printed silks. For everyday wear, ginghams, Peter Pan cloth, cotton and wool crepes, find themselves in the company of heavy Irish linen. One of the outstanding fea- FER SAFE INVESTMENT tures of the spring styles appears in the combination of two fabrics and two colors in dresses, and applique trimmings providing strong color contrasts, are already established in the styles. Once again ginghams and organdles will bear each other company, and gay little organdle frocks, with bright, contrasting stitchery, as ornamentation, will make flowerlike dresses for little ones. The most extreme color contrasts are found among the linen frocks, as tangerine and white, bright yellow and lanvin green. For the printed silks, lace and ribbon are used as trimmings, the lace in inserts and the ribbon in wheels or festoons. Quite a lot of atten- 1 tion is given to sleeves, which are sometimes slashed, and berthas of lace, or edged with lace, indicate that designers gather what they can from the mode for grown-ups and adapt the new styles to little ones. In the two frocks illustrate! plain fabrics are very simply designed and brightened by needlework in gay, colored floss. These models might be developed in heavy cotton or linen, or in washable silk.
