SUBSCRIBE FOR THE ONLY RELIABLE PEOPLE'S PAPER IN COLORADO "THE COLORADO STATESMAN" THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY NEW BERN, N. C., NEGROES FIGHT LOSS OF HOMES AND PROPERTY Whites Preventing Rebuilding of Colored District Destroyed by Fire. VOL. XXIX. New Bern, N. C., whose homes were burned in the recent disastrous fire, are fighting an attempt by white citizens to prevent their rebuilding their homes through condemnation proceedings which would turn the colored section into a cemetery and park, according to announcement today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York. Reports from New Bern state that the colored residents have not been permitted to rebuild their homes. A statement sent to the Advancement Association by a competent investigator asserts: "The city of New Bern is determined the burnt area shall not be rebuilt by or for Negroes. It is proposed to condemn the land, astensibly for cemetery and park purposes, but this is openly winked at as a subterfuge to get rid of the Negro property owner. In the meanwhile no building is permitted in the burned district, and no provision is being made for a suitable location elsewhere; in many cases all they have is tied up in this real estate, which will be a long time in litigation in the condemnation proceedings." It is asserted that the city of New Bern lacks the necessary funds for condemnation proceedings, thus proving the measure to be a subterfuge to prevent the colored residents rebuilding their homes. Appeals to the white community having failed the colored citizens have employed lawyers and are attempting by injunction to prevent the condemnation and seizure of their land. The report further states that the Negro districts that were not in the fire area are neglected and have no improvements whatever in the way of paving, lighting, sewerage, water supply and street car service. These districts, it is asserted, into which the Negro sufferers from the fire are to be forced, have surface toilets and the pumps for drinking water are in close proximity, the water coming within a few feet of the surface. The report censures the attitude of the white citizens of New Bern in the following terms: "The white people of New Bern in this crisis do not seem to feel any sense of duty in providing for the housing of their Negro citizens and are blind to their economic value. New Bern has no white labor and herein is the only way out that lies in the Negro himself; quietly organize and leave New Bern. This has been nurted, but the white people do not take it seriously. The only other way is for New Bern to be brought to a realization of the injury it will do itself in the eyes of the country if it carries on its present policy." In the course of the fight by colored residents to retain their property and home sites, resolutions were passed and published in a local newspaper on the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, protesting against the injustice being done New Bern colored citizens, and stating: "The proposed condemnation for park and cemeteries will work a grievous hardship and injustice upon the colored people, making it impossible for many of them ever to build again in improved and sanitary localities accessible to the conveniences enjoyed by the average white taxpayer." "Blackface" Morons Hit White Girls MEMPHIS, Tenn., Jan. 19.—Word has been received by prominent white citizens here that the men called "Negroes" accused of attacking two white women in the city parks last week were not of the Race at all, but white men with their faces blackened. It is reported that the police department is of the same opinion, but has not made the notion public, for obvious reasons. The police hold that they would have been able to apprehend the men had there not been such a mask on them as to make them impossible of identification. One of the white men seized a white woman in broad daylight soon after she had alighted from a street car near the city, dragged her to a ravine in the park and held her captive for eight hours, abusing and attacking her, then throwing her over a bluff into the shallow water along the river bank below. His victim is in a serious condition. The second white man, whose motive is believed to have been robbery, fired at Mrs. Thelma Cunningham, a widow, as she was riding with her finace near the city. The woman's companion refused to obey the man's command to stop the automobile and the highwayman fired three shots, one of which struck the woman. She is not expected to recover. The anonymous letters did not in any case name the assailants of the women. Appeals Case on Ground That Coffins Buried Belonged to No One. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 18.—Sam Ware, the Atlanta undertaker who was indicted here a few weeks ago for stealing coffins from the South View cemetery, was tried here today and convicted before Judge D. Humphries and given the maximum sentence of not less or more than ten years' hard labor. It was brought out in the evidence that Ware sold one casket five times here, and finally sold it to a firm in Florida. Jones and Maddox, who were indicted in connection with Ware, will be tried here tomorrow. Ware issued a statement today, through his attorneys, that he would appeal the case from the decision of the trial Judge, on the ground that the Georgia Criminal Code does not cover the taking of coffins from graves, and under the law even granting that Ware took the coffins he has committed no crime. His attorneys also contend that when a coffin is once put under the ground it belongs to no one, therefore it cannot be stolen. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1923 Washington County Is Becoming an Empire of Wealth Prosperous Farming Community Shows Rapid Growth. COLORADO'S farming possibilities are not as fully known by a large portion of our city bred folk, and it is only when such prosperous farmers and stock growers as Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Newsom of Akron come into our midst that we pause and give thought to the country side of life. We become so self-centered in our local environments that we fail to give heed to those who are solving the economic problems of life by tilling the soil. Washington county, of which Akron is the county seat, lies in the northeastern part of the state. Only a very small section it is in the irrigated valley of the Platte river, and yet in 1922 the county ranked first in acreage and production of wheat, third in corn, second in rye and fourth in total acreage in cultivation. Few counties in the state have a more uniform surface than Washington. The valley of the Platte river crosses he extreme northwestern corner. The remainder is a level or rolling prairie, with fertile soil, well adopted to cultivation. In the north the soil is a sandy loam with a mixture of adobe and other harder elements. The population of the county in 1910 was 6,002. In 1920 it had increased to 11,208, the increase being 86.7 per cent. This increase is much larger than the percentage of increase for the state as a whole, which was only 17.6 per cent for the decade. Corn and wheat are the principal crops and average yields in this county are among the best obtained in any of the non-irrigated districts of the state. The total acreage of wheat grown in the county in 1922 was 231,559 acres, compared with only 160,419 in 1919 and 11,458 acres in 1909. These figures illustrate the rapid development of agriculture in the county in recent years. The Newsm family are pioneer citizens in this prosperous county and their holdings are said to total many thousand dollars. They share the esteem and respect of all classes of people and are regarded as being among the county's most substantial citizens. They would like to see many more of our group take advantage of the special opportunities offered. There is perhaps 700,000 acres of arable land in this county which has never been broken. The government experiment farm, near Akron, is equipped to furnish newcomers in this locality with the most desirable information about suitable crops and proper methods of farming. Dairying has been developed very rapidly in the territory adjacent to the Burlington railroad in the past decade and dairy farmers have generally made excellent profits. This industry has been rapidly extended into the districts more remote from railroads and promises within a few years to become the basis of farming operations in most all sections of the county. While we do not anticipate any great "back to the land" rush as a result of this article, still we do think it both timely and proper to bring to mind that all of living is not in a great city and beneath the bright lights. Bush 'Wireless' Mysterious But Very Effective Natives of Africa Able to Communicate Quickly In Puzzling Way. LONDON, Jan. 20.—The radio has nothing on the "bush wireless" of darkest Africa, according to F. S. Joelson, author of "The Tanganyika Territory," who tells of experience with the native signals. "We think it wonderful," he said, "that our advancing knowledge has made broadcasting possible. Yet every traveler in savage Africa has had evidence of the almost incredible swiftness with which the natives can communicate with distant friends, this 'bush wireless' operating more speedily than our telegraph. "The exact means employed vary with the tribe and circumstances. Drum-beats are the usual signals, smoke is often used, and in some parts of the Gold Coast even whistling is enlisted for the convenience of news. More mysterious still is the so-called veld or bush telegraph, a phenomenon which wise Europeans do not attempt to explain. They merely know that it does exist, and that messages are carried hundreds of miles in a day or two when neither drums, smoke, nor other visible or audible means have been utilized. "Bush villages can call up one another very much as if they were on the telephone. Each has its collection of signaling drums, used for different purposes, and by them the chiefs can tell each other that there is a maneating lion on the prowl, that the native commissioner has started his tax gathering tour, or that there will be a big beer-drink at such-and-such a village on the night of the full moon. "The European who has lived long in the bush and who hears the sound of far-away drums, knows well that to him unintelligible beats are far from meaningless for the natives. "For instance, in August, 1914, I was forty miles from the East African coast, but only four miles from a telegraph office. Immediately that station learned of the outbreak of the war a messenger jumped on a bicycle to bring us the news. He need not have troubled. Four hours before the telegraph clerk had had the staggering news one of the plantation headmen had asked me mysteriously why the white men in Europe were at war. It was my first intimation that hostilities had started." Sen. Frelinghuysen Introduces Bill to Provide Commission to Investigate Lynching. Sen. Frelinghuysen Introduces Bill to Provide Commission to Investigate Lynching. Washington, D. C.—Senator Joseph S. Frelinghysen of New Jersey introduced in the Senate on Monday, Jan. 15, a resolution providing for a commission to investigate the subject of lynching. It was referred to the judiciary committee. The resolution provides for a commission of five to be named by the President, and to serve without salary. At the same time it is provided there shall be an appropriation of $50,000 for expenses. The proposed commission is to study fully the subject of lynching, its causes and remedies, and make recommendations for legislation to the new Congress. Democratic Senators from the South will oppose it. Chop Body of Doctor; Destroy It Texans Throw Physician's Mutilated Frame in Cell; Set Fire to Prison. B ISHOP, Tex., Jan. 19.—Suffering the agonies of the machine-crushed victims of black-hooded mobs in Louisiana, Dr. John Smith, former Wharton county physician, is reported to have been burned to death in the jail here after his feet and hands had been cut off. Dr. Smith was charged with crime. His felony, so-called, consisted of having collided, while driving his car, with an automobile driven by whites. The people in this section, ignorant and docile to a great extent, have been aroused to unprecedented action by the murder of this leading citizen by the Huns of Texas. Body Torn Apart. The physician was brutally and barbarously treated, parts of his body torn while he still lived and cried in pain, and then, yet alive, put in the jail, which was set afire. Reports gathered from scattered conversation among the whites showed that they had become angered after hearing of the collision. Dr. Smith had no trouble with the white occupants of the car. After he and they had taken stock of their damages, these being so slight, the whites refused to accept damages or to institute charges against the doctor. Later, however, the physician accidentally injured a Mexican woman with his car and, while here, the Wharton county officers came for him, arrested him and placed him in the local jail. The dismembered body of Dr. Smith was found in the ruins of the burned jailhouse. How and why the bastile was burned, outside of a desire to satisfy the craving of bloodthirsty Texans for murder, and just who the firebugs were, or the contributing cause, or why the fire was not discovered and extinguished, cannot be determined. It was just the usual Texas way of doing things. Law Doesn't Care. Revoltting, shameful and fiendish as was the crime, officers of the law are exercising no extra diligence, in fact none whatever, to ferret out the crime and apprehend and punish the criminals. The murder of a white mechanic and a bootleger in Louisiana arouses the entire nation. The atrocious torturing and burning to death of a Race physician in the wilds of Texas proves nothing, save perhaps the suggestion that he ought to have known better than to have been there. His brothers are awakening, however, and the hordes of somber-hued laborers, dumb driven in the twilight, are seeking and finding a way up—up to the North. Negro Asks $25,000 For Being Parked in Blizzard in Kansas Porter Seeks Judgment From Rail Company That Sidetracked Pullman. San Antonio, Tex., Jan. 22.—A lone Pullman car sidetracked in a Kansas blizzard is no place for a porter from a balmy climate. Paul Montimore of San Antonio charges in a petition for $25,000 damages against the Pullman Company and C. E. Schaff, receiver for the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad Company, that his health was permanently impaired by such an exposure on Feb. 18, 1922, when a disabled car was set on a siding a few miles from Parsons, Kan., without heat. The elements turned outlaw as soon as the car was left, and the blizzard of the next ten hours was one of the worst—well, it was ever so much more severe than the wildest imagination of a New Orleans "pusson" might conceive, according to the petition, and the client is said to have been sorely afflicted as a result with chillblains, frost bite, exposure, grip and various other forms of physical maladjustment. Ask Deportation Of Negroes From France Ask Deportation Of Negroes From France P ARIS, Jan. 19.—A branch of the Ku Klux Klan has been organized here and its first official act was to get Americans resident here to sign a petition to the French government asking the deportation of all colored Americans now living in France. The Klan, it is said, will seek to effect this through the co-operation of the American Embassy. The anti-Negro feeling of white Americans here is nothing new. Neither is their resentment of the fact that the French people consider as equals, and threat accordingly, the Negro population here. But the flames of hatred have been fanned recently by the exploits of two colored men who soundly thrashed and deeply humiliated three American whites when the latter attempted to introduce Jim crow laws unofficially and independent of the French government and people. Influential American whites had the colored men locked up on a charge of assault, but they were released when the colored men showed war service papers. The American whites thereupon resorted to spreading the most vicious and unfounded lies against the colored men. They allege that one of the colored men, Dick Bullard, was outlawed from the French aviation service during the war for cowardice in refusing to attack German lines. Bullard is credited with having accounted for two of the whites. Hampton 'A' Will Meet in August AMPTON, Va., Jan. 19.—A call has been issued for the fifteenth triennial meeting of the Hampton Institute Alumni Association on or about Aug. 1, the exact date to be announced later. William Reid of the class of 1877 is president of the association. Much work was accomplished by the organization at its last meeting in 1920. At that time a committee of alumni went before the board of trustees of the school and requested, among other things, that the age limit for the admission of students be lowered from 17 to 15 years, and that the academic course be made the equal of the recognized standard high school. As a result of this and the favorable action of the school board the association reports the following. Admission changed to 15 years. An academy established, offering a four-year standard high school course. A one-year normal course, above the high school, granting at its completion a state elementary certificate for teachers. A college course covering four years' work above the high school, granting upon satisfactory completion a regular bachelor of arts degree in education. Business and home economics courses covering two years, based on the full high school course. An agricultural college course based upon the full high school course or its equivalent, for which on satisfactory completion a bachelor of science degree in agricultural education is given. INSURES HIS LIFE FOR HOWARD AND MEHARRY Washington, D. C.—Dr. John A. Kenny, director of the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital, Tuskegee Institute, has notified the authorities of Howard University and Meharry Medical College, Nashville, that he has applied for endowment insurance in the amount of $500 in favor of the two schools as an earnest of his interest in medical education of young colored men and women. FOREIGN The ministry of justice is considering the issuance of a decree abolishing the death penalty for civil criminals in Spain. Domiclo d Gama, Brazil, president of the Council of the League of Nations, has convoked the twenty-third meeting of the body for Jan. 29, at Paris. National troops in Dublin discovered a tunnel seventy feet long, leading from a private house into Mountjoy prison, where a number of irregular prisoners are being held by the Free State. The Swiss government, it is announced, is sending a mission to Canada to investigate the possibility of finding work there for the Swiss unemployed. There are now 100,000 out of work in Switzerland. According to investigations made by the agriculture and commerce office in Tokio, this year's rye crop in Japan aggregated 21,628,856 koku. Compared with the crop of last year, it shows a decrease of about 35,000 koku. The staff of the First Southern Division of the irregular military forces together with all its records for the last six months, have been captured by a column of national troops operating from Macroom, County Cork. The "wets" are breathing a trifle easier now that it is impossible for a "bone dry" bill to be considered by the present regular session of Congress in Mexico City, which adjourned sine die recently. Although there was small fear that such a measure would pass the lower house it was expected in many quarters that the "dry" element, receiving inspiration from certain high government officials, would attempt to have such a bill at least brought up for discussion. But other legislation intervened, and a new liquor law was forgotten. GENERAL Eveline Booth, a negro woman of Oglethorpe county, Ga., is dead at the age of 125 years, 9 months and 11 days according to information made public by Dr. William A. Davis, director of the department of vital statistics of the State Board of Health. Charles P. Howard, vice president of the International Typographical Union, appeared before the committee on printing of the national House of Representatives in Washington to urge that action be taken on a measure to increase wages of printers in the government printing office, it was announced at headquarters of the union at Indianapolis. It was stated at headquarters that a bill is pending in the House to increase the pay of government printers to $1.04 an hour. The joint sub-committee of bituminous operators and union miners a few days ago resumed their discussions of 1923 wage scales to become effective April 1. Before entering the conference, Phil H. Penna, Indiana operator, issued a statement in which he renewed assurances of his fellow operators that there would be no strike in the bituminous industry this year. John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, and other labor members of the sub-committee of seventeen, were equally optimistic. Declaring that the debt question was too delicate to discuss at this time, members of the British debt Funding Commission sailed for home on the Olympic from New York. Stanley Baldwin, chancellor of the British exchequer, and Montagu C. Norman, governor of the Bank of England, both paid glowing tributes to the fair treatment they had received from the American press. "I am particularly grateful," said Mr. Baldwin, "for its personal kindness and the fair way it has handled this matter. The temper of the American press has been a model of what a respectable press should be. I hope I will find on my return home that the British press conduct has been similar." Four men and a woman are in custody for investigation in connection with the shooting to death near Vaco, Texas, or W. E. Holt and Mrs. Ethel Denecamp. Nine men will be tried on charges of murder in connection with the Herrin mine killings at the next trial in Circuit Court, beginning Feb. 12, it was announced by Assistant Attorney General C. E. Middlekauff in a notice sent to the attorney of the defense. These nine men will be tried on a charge of having killed Antonio Molkovitch of Erle, Pa., one of the employees of the Lester strip mine who were killed during the rioting June 22 last. "In some ways I am sorry to leave this place," Alexander Howatt, deposed president of the Kansas union coal miners, told John Turkington, sheriff, as he prepared to leave the Crawford county jail a few days ago. With five other deposed officials who had been, like Howatt, serving a sentence of one year for contempt of court in calling a strike, Howatt was paroled by Judge D. H. Woolley at Pittsburg. They have been in jail 266 days. Mrs. Charles Despard, secretary of an Irish woman's association for the defense of prisoners, has sent a cablegram to Mrs. Gertrude Corless, president of the American Women Pickets for the Enforcement of America's War Alms, asking her to request President Harding's intervention in favor of Irish Republican prisoners.

Harry L. Wilson, prominent attorney of Billings and Great Falls and Republican candidate for governor of Montana in 1912, was found dead in his berth on his return from Missoula, where he attended the annual banquet of the western Montana fish and game commission. Nevada's lethal gas penalty in murder cases is likely never to go into effect. Assemblyman Anthony Jurich of White Pine said recently. As minority leader at Carson City he is preparing a bill to abolish the gas penalty and he said it is probable the Legislature will do away with capital punishment in all cases. Mrs. Maybelle Roe, convicted of the murder of McCullough Grayden, real estate operator, in a dispute over possession of a beach resort bungalow, was sentenced to life imprisonment by Superior Court Judge McCormick at Los Angeles, while she lay on a cot in the woman's ward of the county jail, seriously ill. A primary measure which would abolish state party conventions except for the purpose of drawing up platforms was introduced in the House of Representatives of the Seventeenth Idaho Legislature by Republican members, including Campbell of Boundary county, Hull of Bear Lake and Call of Jefferson. The measure would provide a primary or nominating election, to be held the fourth Tuesday in May and biennially thereafter. The state platform convention would be under the auspices of the state central committee of each party and not later than sixteen days following the primary balloting. WASHINGTON C. O. Schweitzer, divisional prohibition chief for the states of Wyoming, Utah and Colorado, has been suspended from that office under orders sent from headquarters at Washington.

Modification of the Red river decision of May 1, 1922, in the Oklahoma-Texas boundary dispute, in which title to land in the bed of the river was settled by the Supreme Court, was asked by the Red River Syndicate, which filed a brief. "Perfectly absurd," said Secretary of State Hughes when informed that a story was being circulated to the effect that he was considering resigning from the cabinet. Mr. Hughes said the story was utterly without foundation. The town of Hibbing, Minn, with a population of 15,000, will be moved to enable the Oliver Iron Mining Company to mine the iron ore which underlies it, as a result of the action of the Supreme Court in dismissing the appeal of Henry P. Reed and others. For the first time in the history of the Postoffice Department a woman has been recommended for appointment to a postmastership at a salary of $6,000 annually. She is Elizabeth D. Bernard, nominated by President Harding to be postmistress at Tampa, Fla. A demand for intervention by the state of Arkansas into the situation at Harrison arising from attacks on Missouri and North Arkansas strikers was issued by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor. One lynching and "mob action" directed against union members, Mr. Gompers said, made action of the kind imperative. The Italian government, it was stated recently in well informed circles in reference to certain published reports, is not negotiating with the French government with the view of sending troops to the Rhineland in place of the American troops recently withdrawn. In the same circles denial was also made of published reports that Italy was contemplating sending a high commissioner to Coblenz. Dixon D.

Fort Collins.—The valuation of Larmer county for 1922, as shown by the tax roll completed by County Assessor H. B. Hammond, is $52,274,020. This is a reduction from the 1921 valuation of $410,220. Although the county has a lower assessment for 1922 than for 1921 the taxes to be collected will be more than the previous year. This is due to the fact that twenty-eight of the forty-six school districts increased their levies for the current year's expenses. There were eight districts unable to meet their expenses with the increase provided by law. They appealed to the tax commission for permission to increase the levy and the petitions were granted. All the towns in the county made the same levy for 1922 as for the year previous except Fort Collins and Timnath. Fort Collins increased its levy from 11 to 11.34 and Timnath reduced its levy from 10 to 8 mills. Montrose.—A farmers' institute, instead of the farmers' congress which has been held in Montrose the last two years, will be held in Montrose Feb. 20 to 23, according to the decision of the directors of the Farmers' Congress, who decided that because of unsettled conditions of agriculture it would be better to not hold the extensive program which the Farmers' Congress calls for. The institute, which will be an old-fashioned farmers' gathering for four days, will start off with the annual meeting of the Uncompahgre Valley Cattle and Horse Growers' Association. This day will be devoted entirely to livestock topics. The tentative program for the other days includes: Feb. 21, dalrying and hogs; Feb. 22, fruit growers, and Feb. 23, organization of the old-timers' Association. Beet growing, poultry, household, live stock and many other subjects pertaining to farmers will be discussed during the Institute and County Agent Ben H.

Towns represented included Pueblo, Cañon City, Rocky Ford, La Junta, Ordway, Lamar, Manzanola, Las Animas and others of Colorado and the eastern section of Kansas. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS Denver.—Hugh Baker, who operates a ranch in Kit Carson county, topped the Kansas City cattle market January 15th with two carloads of steers weighing 1,440 pounds each, which sold for $9.40 a hundredweight. These steers were mountain-bred Herefords, the first out of some four hundred head Mr. Baker is feeding on corn and alfalfa hay on his Colorado ranch. One never needs be surprised to learn that good, fat Hereford cattle have reached the market from the most unexpected places. Only a few years ago eastern Colorado was the home of the prairie dog and the owl, and no feeding of live stock was attempted. This past year Kit Carson county raised big grain and hay crops, and at the present time there is corn, wheat and alfalfa piled up along the railroads at shipping points waiting cars to haul it to market. Several large bunches of good Herefords are on full feed in the county. Eastern Colorado is rapidly taking on the aspect of a prosperous farming and live stock section, and the successful farmers and stockmen there are feeding Herefords. Rocky Ford.—The annual meeting of the Otero County Poultry Association was held recently in Rocky Ford, when the following officers were elected: President, C. M. Herren of La Junta; vice presidents, James Clevenger of Rocky Ford and Oscar Houston of La Junta; secretary, Mrs. Z. E. Phillips of Rocky Ford; treasure Mrs. H. P. Beaty of Rocky Ford. Plans are being laid for an even greater show at the Arkansas Valley Fair than was given last year, and James Clevenger was appointed superintendent. It is planned to conduct an educational campaign this winter with meetings the first of each month, to which all interested in the breeding of better poultry will be welcomed and at which some of the best experts in the country will be heard. It is planned to use three judges at the coming show in connection with the fair, one of whom will judge the American classes, one the Mediterranean and the third the others. Denver.—The daring bandit who stood up on the running board of an automobile as the men who robbed a Federal Reserve Bank truck of $200,-000 in front of the Denver mint on Dec. 18 last, sped away amid a rain of bullets from guards, paid with his life. Deserted by his pals the body of the dead robber—believed to be the leader of the band—was found in a private garage near Seventeenth and Gilpin streets, in the fashionable Capitol Hill residence district. Denver.—A highway project for the concrete paving of 4.7 miles of road, between Atwood and Merino, Colo., completing a stretch of nearly thirteen miles between Merino and Sterling, was submitted Monday by the State Highway Department to the federal roads bureau. The cost will be $163,039.99, of which the government will pay 56 per cent and the state the balance. Pueblo.—Thousands of dollars' worth of first-class mail, parcel post packages and express matter were destroyed in an explosion aboard an American Railway express car at Beaver creek, near here.

Some of these tanks exploded in some mysterious manner, according to train officials, and blew out the side. of the modern all-steel express coach. Erle.—Charles Nowlin, a mine worker, was shot and killed while struggling with one of three masked bandits who held up Nowlin and five companions in a boxcar mine shack at the camp of the Boulder Valley Coal Company, near here. The bandits, sold to be Mexicans, escaped with approximately $200. Denver.—At the January meeting of directors of the Denver Young Men's Christian Association, Gov. William E. Sweet was re-elected president for the twenty-fourth consecutive year; Frank McDonough, Sr., and H. E. Johnson, vice presidents; F. W. Birney, secretary, and John Evans, treasurer. Boulder.—Sixty members of faculties of other institutions have been selected to assist the professors of the University of Colorado at the summer session of 1923. This is an increase of eighteen over the non-resident list of last year and was made necessary by the great increase that is expected in students. Pueblo.—James H. Young, married, and the father of six children, was instantly killed when a truck he was driving went off a bridge two miles east of Vineland, turning upside down in a twelve-foot arroyo. W. K.

DAY and NIGHT SERVICE T. G. GRANBERRY, Mgr. DENVER, COLORADO LOOKING IN ON THE LEGISLATURE By Randolph Cook Five hundred and sixty-five bills were introduced in the House, and 453 in the Senate up to midnight of the 17th, this being the last day for introducing bills; the total, therefore, is 1,018 bills. This is about the normal number for a session of the Legislature. PETER M. which stands in a conspicuous place, there are several hundred bills that were introduced during the last session, and which were "born to blush unseen." It is quite probable that many of those introduced this session will never see the light again. Possibly this is an evil that ought to be corrected. However, we hold that a representative should represent his constituents; and, if a reasonable number of them wish legislation of a certain kind, if it has seeming merit, he should introduce a bill on the topic; after that, he cannot say what the ninety-nine other members of the Assembly will do with the bill, and his responsibility for it largely ceases. During this session the bills that will attract most attention are what we call the "Administration" bills. We believe this is usually the case. In this instance, Governor Sweet has laid great importance on the revision of the administrative code, and the proposed co-operative marketing bill; around these the storm will gather during the session. The outlook for their passage is thought to be favorable by the friends of the measures. The first bill to pass the House, with a vote of 63 to 2, was a bill to repeal the "yellow-x-free" license privilege enjoyed by state officials, and their employees. There were about 2,000 of these in the state; and, on authority of Representative Pollock, this will mean the addition of about $20,000 to the revenues saved for the taxpayer. That is not bad for a beginning. Not all hours in the Legislature are serious ones; occasionally there is a little merriment mixed with the serious. For example, on the night of the 17th, when the session was prolonged until midnight, Miss Baker introduced a bill requiring all men to part their hair in the middle, and making it unlawful to smoke in legislative halls—IN ARKANSAS. And another presented a bill making it unlawful for Denver chickens to roam about at liberty, while the Legislature is in session, and provided an appropriation for the enforcement of this act. We can see where such a law might be a good "safety first" measure!! Then, a few days ago, two former speakers of the House were present in the chamber, and were escorted to the platform for a short address; as a result, they were fined a box of apples for making a speech. One was a Democrat, and the other a Republican. This is advance notice to all would-be speechmakers to beware. Bills are now being printed, and the legislative hopper will begin to turn by the time this is in print; oratory flows like the water in Cherry creek, and just as freely. Embryo statesmen are budding forth like watercress in the spring. On the whole the Assembly is made up of a most creditable set of men, and who have the good of Colorado at heart, and who check their partyism in the cloak room, and come in the hall to put it "over the top" for the Centennial State. As for the three ladies who are members of the House, they are the crown of the Assembly, Colorado has no fear of her affairs in their hands; but if there should be any tendency to wobble on some matters, with Mr. Young, who is not so young, and Mr. Sweet, to keep 'em sweet, and Miss Baker to—well, make 'em hot, Colorstrand to add the rainbow tint; and if Mr. Crooke goes wrong there's Mr. Wright to set him right; and if Romero goes roamin' among the Rangers, we'll rise and sing the "Star-spangled Banner." It looks like the Johnsons are taking the country; there are four of them in the House, and we think they are all of Irish vintage. Over in the Senate, Mr. Rockwell manages to rock along, to the tune of "Sweet Harmony, Sweet Harmony," and that always puts the Democrats to sleep. In both houses, the new members are quite active; the older ones have heard the call of Wisdom. A first glance at the Senate, the most noticeable thing is the avoiddupois, and we have actually wondered whether the length of the waistband is a qualification for that dignity. Jones and Girrand are regular "Gold Dust Twins," but we like 'em. God bless the fat men; for of such is the kingdom. They are a thing of beauty and a joy forever. We almost forgot the chaplain; his name is Rader, and he has some job on his hands. The way he prays for the Republicans would make you think he was at a Georgia camp-meeting. Rader was once a member of the House, and we judge that he speaks from experience. LET US ARISE AND SING. New York.—German marks dropped to another extreme low record, being quoted at 60-100ths of 1 cent a hundred, or approximately 16,666 to the dollar. Proposed Reorganization of the Diplomatic and Consular Services By SECRETARY OF STATE HUGHES, Letter on Rogers Bill. The diplomatic service is greatly underpaid. It is well known that a man without private means, whatever his ability, cannot accept the more important posts of ambassador or minister. Of more immediate importance, however, is the fact that the salaries of secretaries in the diplomatic service are so low, the choice of candidates is restricted largely to young men of wealthy families who are able and willing, to a considerable extent, to pay their own way. It follows that there must be an increase in the salaries of diplomatic secretaries to broaden the field for selection. That would eliminate the necessity for the use of private incomes and permit the relative merits of candidates to be adjudged on the basis of ability alone. Furthermore, if young men of the greatest ability and intellectual ambition are to be attracted to the service there must be the prospect of conspicuous ability and fidelity will be rewarded by promotion. The consular service, on the other hand, while better paid, suffers from great limitations as a public career. There is no prospect of promotion beyond the consular service. It is with difficulty that many of the best men are retained because of the tempting offers constantly made to them by the business world. There would be two distinct advantages to be realized from an amalgamation of the two services on an interchangeable basis: First, those highly desirable benefits of economy and efficiency which would accrue through a system of combined administration. Second, a more effective co-ordination of the political and the economic branches of the service. On the other hand, the present scale of consular salaries already is recognized as inadequate. To reach the problems more effectively I have deemed it of first importance that a new and adequate salary scale should be adopted. After a very careful examination into the actual requirements of these positions, it is thought that the scale of salaries proposed in the revised bill, which ranges by regular increments from $3,000 to $9,000, would suffice for the purpose which we have in mind. "Shall I Slay My Brother Boer?" "Never Interfere in Family Matters" At the American consulate in London, while having my passports regularized, I encountered the American international examination paper. One of the questions it propounded was, "Are you an anarchist?" Another was, "Are you in favor of subverting the government of the United States by force?"—and I felt like saying, "I prefer to answer that question at the end of my tour and not at the beginning." Still another question was, "Are you a polygamist?" The answer to this is, "No such luck," or "Not such a fool," according to our experience of the other sex. But perhaps a better answer would be that given to W. T. Stead when he circulated the rhetorical question. "Shall I slay my brother Boer?"—the answer that ran, "Never interfere in family matters." But among many things that amused me almost to the point of treating the form thus disrespectfully, the most amusing was the thought of the ruthless outlaw who should feel compelled to treat it respectfully. I like to think of the foreign desperado seeking to slip into America with official papers under official protection, and sitting down to write with a beautiful gravity: "I am an anarchist. I hate you all and wish to destroy you." Or, "I intend to subvert by force the government of the United States as soon as possible, sticking the long sheath-knife in my left trouser-pocket into Mr. Harding at the earliest opportunity." Or again. "Yes, I am a polygamist all right, and my 47 wives are accompanying me on the voyage disguised as secretaries." Conviction That Education Is Substitute for Work Rather Than a Tool We have allowed the conviction to grow among many of our younger citizens that education is a substitute for work rather a tool to work with, an end rather than a means. The ultimate outcome of this system continued without reform or amendment would be the creation of a nation where every man and woman would have the learning of books, and none would have that learning of the hands which is so vital to national prosperity and progress. We must restore the dignity of labor by teaching the trades in our schools. We must offer to every child that training of hand and heart, as well as head, which will enable him to go forth into the world equipped to care for himself and to take his place as a self-supporting, self-respecting citizen, a credit to himself and an asset to society. My ideal is to turn out of our schools children equipped with a high school education, as that education is now known—and a trade. A Christian Gentleman to Stand Four-Square to Every Wind That Blows At this point it seems to me well to pause and consider what we are really after and the obstacles in the way of attaining our ideal. Is not this what we are really after—to turn out a Christian gentleman to stand four-square to every wind that blows and take his part as a leader of this nation? Such is our ideal. The modern American business man is so wrapped up in dollars and cents and in getting his results therefrom that he applies to the education of his boy the same principle which he applies to his business; he sends his boy to us with only one object in view, it seems to me, and that is to put that boy into college. That is all, in his opinion, the school is for. It is a very sad thing to confess but in my experience with the school parent I believe that I could count on the fingers of my two hands the parents who have ever said a word to me with regard to their boys' characters and what they want us to do in that respect. ACCUSER OF ATTORNEY GENER AL IS ATTACKED BY PAR- TY MEMBER. DAUGHERTY IS FREED CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH AP PROVED BY ALMOST A UNANIMOUS VOTE. Washington.—The House, by a vote of 204 to 77, approved the action of the judiciary committee in giving Attorney General Daugherty a clean bill of health on the impeachment charges brought against him by Representative Keller, Republican, Minnesota. Without a roll call and by practically an unanimous vote, it adopted also a resolution discharging the committee from further consideration of the charges and laying the Keller impeachment resolution on the table. The two votes were regarded as having the effect of closing the incident. The question of whether the House has the constitutional power to compel a member to testify before its committees was left undecided. This issue was raised in the midst of the judiciary committee hearings when Mr. Keller refused to respond to a subpoena served on him after his dramatic withdrawal from further participation in the proceedings. The committee in its report took the position that the House could punish Mr. Keller by imprisonment or otherwise until he did testify, the term of imprisonment, however, not to extend beyond this session of Congress, but it made no recommendation on the subject, nor did the House take direct action upon it. The House votes were preceded by three hours of spirited debate, featured by attacks upon and a defense of Mr. Keller and by assaults upon Samuel Untermyer of New York, Jackson H. Ralston of Washington, who was Representative Keller's counsel, and his associate, John H. Vahey of Boston, and Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor. Referring to letters written by Mr. Untermyer regarding the impeachment charges, which were made a part of the minority report filed by Representative Thomas, Democrat, Kentucky, Representative Goodykoontz, Republican, West Virginia, charged that these documents had been "dragged in to besmirch the judiciary committee," he added that he did not then have time to discuss Mr. Untermyer's "record" fully, but that he would do so in an extension of his remarks in the Congressional Record. There was a sharp clash between the Kentucky member and Mr. Volstead when Mr. Thomas charged that the chairman had "deleted" the original record of the hearings. Mr. Volstead vigorously denied the charge, but Mr. Thomas insisted upon it, declaring that at one stage of the hearings the chairman had peremptorily commanded Mr. Keller to sit down, while the official record made it appear that the command had been a "mild" request. There was a split in party lines on the proposition to give Mr. Daugherty a clean bill of health, twelve Republicans voting in the negative and ten Democrats in the affirmative. Home for Vice President. Washington—Mrs. John B. Henderson, widow of the late Senator Henderson of Missouri, offered a newly built residence, valued at $500,000, to the government as the official residence of the Vice President. U. S. Troops Sail for Home. U. S. Troops Sail for Home. Antwerp—Aboard the American transport St. Milhiel the last contingent of the troops who represented the United States in the World War are en route home. The troops arrived here from the Coblenz bridgehead and embarked on the transport. With soldiers lining her rails, the transport cast off her lines and the doughboys sang farewell songs and shouted greetings of good-by, while groups of friends ashore standing in the dim light of the early darkness waved their aidieux. One Killed By Ship Blast. Los Angeles, Calif.-One man was killed and two others seriously injured aboard the U. S. S. California, flagship of the battle fleet, when an 18-inch hollow casting exploded while they were heating it over a forge in the ship's blacksmith shop. Lester G. Blanchard, first-class coppersmith, was struck on the head by a fragment of the casting and instantly killed. Ben Leonard, first-class engine man, and Mike Labonlek, second-class moulter, also were hit by bits of flying metal. Three Women Now in Congress. Washington.—For the first time in history three women are members of Congress. The election of Mrs. Mae Nolan, widow of Representative John L. Nolan of California, to succeed her husband, gives the sex the greatest representation it has ever had in Congress. The feminine contingent now consists of "Aunt Alice" Robertson of Oklahoma, Mrs. Winifred Mason Huck f Illinois and Mrs. Nolan of California. All are Republicans. The diplomatic service is greatly underpaid. It is well known that a man without private means, whatever his ability, cannot accept the more important posts of ambassador or minister. Of more immediate importance, however, is the fact that the salaries of secretaries in the diplomatic service are so low, the choice of candidates is restricted largely to young men of wealthy families who are able and willing, to a considerable extent, to pay their own way. It follows that there must be an increase in series of diplomatic secretaries to broaden the field for selection. That eliminate the necessity for the use of private incomes and permit native merits of candidates to be adjudged on the basis of ability. Moremore, if young men of the greatest ability and intellectual men are to be attracted to the service there must be the prospect of famous ability and fidelity will be rewarded by promotion. The consular service, on the other hand, while better paid, suffers great limitations as a public career. There is no prospect of promo- toward the consular service. It is with difficulty that many of the men are retained because of the tempting offers constantly made to by the business world. There would be two distinct advantages to be realized from an amal- an of the two services on an interchangeable basis: First, those highly desirable benefits of economy and efficiency which accrue through a system of combined administration. Second, a more effective co-ordination of the political and the public branches of the service. On the other hand, the present scale of consular salaries already is raised as inadequate. To reach the problems more effectively I have deemed it of first im- me that a new and adequate salary scale should be adopted. After a very careful examination into the actual requirements of positions, it is thought that the scale of salaries proposed in the bill, which ranges by regular increments from $3,000 to $9,000, suffice for the purpose which we have in mind. Shall I Slay My Brother Boer?" "Never Interfere in Family Matters" By G. K. CHESTERTON, in "What I Saw in America." in the American consulate in London, while having my passports regal, I encountered the American international examination paper.

Strike in our midst the grumbling, faulty Negro who is always complaining of has anything to offer worth while. DILIGENCE, persistently pursued, will most invariably bring about fruitful results. Many, many years ago—so long ago, in fact, that memory of man serveth him not, it was quite a common thing for members of the Race to be chosen as jurors in our various courts. Then all of a sudden something happened. We dropped out of sight, and though our numbers increased as taxpayers we were forgotten or clearly overlooked in the shakeup of the jury box. Year after year passed with only the most minor recognition given us in jury service. Some of our leaders—God save the mark—found fault and grumbled as usual, but never once offered a constructive policy. Now and in our forums during the stress of a political campaign we could hear faint and feeble mouthings about "taxation without representation." The phrase was handy as a subterfuge and reasonable easy of interpretation, hence its frequent use. It is hardly possible to place the whole blame for our failing to receive jury recognition, but some source or authority was manifestly chargeable with base dereliction. Our sensibilities prompted a suggestion of racial proscription and a jockeying of names in order to deny us right representation. About two years ago Senator John B. Stephen was appointed Jury Commissioner and a few days after he entered upon his duties three of our local Race men called upon him and detailed the unfair conditions of past year. They pleaded for an "even break" and the new commissioner said that all people and classes would be given that. Results came quickly, only to be followed by the dismaying condition that those of our group selected as jurors would rush to the court house and beg off. This involved another duty upon those interested in proper recognition for us, and that was to get Negroes to either accept the court summons or forever cease complaint about discrimination. The result is that today sixteen members of our group are doing jury service in the various courts of Denver. It is truly a magnificent record, and our thanks should be given to Senator Stephen for his ultimate fairness in dealing with us. The real estate holdings of our group is increasing yearly and with it a mounting up of our tax receipts and other responsibilities. We should be eager and happy to function in anything and in any way that our duty as citizens call for. There are still some big-hearted, fair-minded white men in the country who will not deny to us a man's chance. All that is needed is intelligent effort to pursue a given object. Strange to say, however, we still have in our midst the grumbling, fault-finding, "narrow-between-the-eyes" Negro who is always complaining of existing conditions, but never has anything to offer worth while.

But it does not apply with any degree of efficacy to the happy-go-lucky, gumchewing, movie-going, dance-crazed girl of flapper tendencies of today. In the February number of the Household Magazine these significant words appear: "What is it that makes life worth living? My grandmother thought that the mere trials and tribulations she encountered, the more crosses she was called upon to bear, the brighter would be her crown of glory in the hereafter. My granddaughter, on the other hand, thinks that the more duties she can escape, the more responsibilities she can shirk, the greater her present happiness; and as for the future—let that take care of itself." Need we say more on the subject? Is it not a true picture of life as it is found in many Denver homes at the present time? We freely admit that the human race has never known an era of perfection, and perhaps our own shortcomings were many in our day and generation. But we early learned the value, the beauty and sanctity of home life, and that is the one thing necessary for many of our girls to prize today. That they do not do so is wholly to their shame and lack of appreciation of the tenderness of parental affection and solicitude. Taxis and shows, cafés and late suppers are contributing agencies of evil that will not and cannot weigh in value with books and music and ardent love to be found around the home fireside. Moreover, there is an element of selfishness in the habits of a young girl who has no greater perspective of life than the pursuit of uncertain pleasure from noon till midnight. The matter of health is seldom consulted. The cares of home and the burdens of mother are never given a thought. Modish gowns and syncopated music are the real appealing elements. Whether we will admit it or not, the truth is that each of us has a real mission in life. And, girls, if you will seek and find the true pathway of that mission, if you would honor your father and mother that their days may be long, let the sentiment of the poet, sing deep in your heart of hearts, that "there is no place like home." THE ZONING SYSTEM. excess who have been noting the network associations" forming throughout the cessions as to their real purposes, need no bait the Capitol Hill Improvement Association night of last week, the benevolent put forth and apparently with official asses of these mushroom associations were doubt as to why they were members and they needed light on the subject, hence city building inspector on hand to fur declare "a zoning law for Denver we DENVER citizens who have been noting the network of various "improvement associations" forming throughout the city without asking many questions as to their real purposes, need no longer be in doubt. At a meeting of the Capitol Hill Improvement Association at 2205 East Colfax on Monday night of last week, the benevolent purposes of these associations were put forth and apparently with official sanction. Evidently many members of these mushroom associations were themselves somewhat hazy and in doubt as to why they were members and what they were members of. They needed light on the subject, hence this meeting with Frank M. Ladd city building inspector on hand to furnish the necessary effulgence. He declared "a zoning law for Denver would increase property valuations without necessarily increasing taxation, and would assist the city in reaching its goal of 500,000 in 1930." He dwelt at some length on the merits of the zoning system and then concluded his remarks by explaining, "It could also be construed to permit segregation of Negroes to prevent them from building in areas restricted to whites, and vice versa. Attempts will be made to bring about passage of such an ordinance at the next city election." Thus the cat is out of the bag and from an official source. These pseudo improvement associations "have been multiplying by leaps and bounds here of late and it would seem that their one object is to get ready for the city election. Negroes have been saving up their money and buying property too consistently for some of our striving white brethren. Something must be done to halt them. Denver wants a population of 500,000, and so a plan has been devised. Pass racial segregation ordinances and enact other "jim-crow" legislation, and in the minds of these bigots the future is assured. They do not pause to reflect that Waycross, Ga., and Podunk, Miss., have been doing exactly this very thing for years without any appreciable increase in population. THE COLORADO STATESMAN notes with regret that Mayor Bailey was also a speaker at this meeting and is quoted by the Denver Times of January 17th as having indorsed the zoning system, "as a means of providing for the growth of the city in a sane manner and to serve as an incentive in attracting more people to come here to make their homes." Stripped then, of all its superficialities the proposed zoning system is nothing more nor less than a residential segregation scheme. Warning of this was given during the political campaign of last fall and Negroes may know what to expect at the spring election. Of course, it goes without saying that should such an ordinance be adopted, we would fight it through all the courts of the land. There will be no surrender. However, our curiosity continues to arise and we are eager to know whether the present city administration stands sponsor for the sentiments expressed by the city building inspector and for the adoption of this proposed ordinance. We simply want to know. --- STATE CAPITOL NEWS LETTER Governor Sweet addressed a joint session when he presented his message on the administrative code. There are dozens of bills in both branches looking to amending laws already on the statute books. These amendments are largely relative to legal procedure and courts. Seventeen measures introduced by Representative Mrs. T. C. Wilson of Teller county make changes in the state law giving women equal rights with men in every particular. Senator Francis J. Knauss, Republican, Denver, believes that the United States constitution isn't sufficiently understood, so he has a bill to compel its teaching in private and public schools. Governor Sweet asked that the administrative code measure be given fair treatment in the State Legislature by being fully discussed along with the Lambert consolidation bill before caucus rule was resorted to. A bill was introduced in both houses to prevent the promiscuous sale of firearms and provides for licensing all dealers and permits carrying a gun by citizens only on a written order by chiefs of police or sheriffs. Of the 1,016 bills in the Legislature, not more than 200 probably will be finally passed. Some of the legislators are inclined to think this number is far too high. Unquestionably the governor will veto some of those that do pass. Senator John F. Coss, Democrat, Walsenburg, has a bill providing for the State Land Board to spend $25,000 to drill experimental wells on dry land. The idea is to have the state determine where water is available in the non-irrigating sections. The wells would be on state lands. An idea of the demand of institutions is seen in that of the Pueblo hospital. For 1923 the sum of $499,550 is asked and for 1924 the sum of $529,250, making a total of $1,028,800. To this must be added special requests that total $498,500, reaching the grand total of $1,527,300. The bonus bill provides for the payment of $15 per month to every ex-service man for every month or fraction of a month spent in the service of our country in the World War. This would cost in the neighborhood of $8,000,000 and it provides for the issuance of bonds to this amount. If this measure passes the Legislature it will be submitted to the people at the general election in 1924. Civil service seems to be extremely unpopular with Republicans and Democrats alike in the Twenty-fourth General Assembly, hence the governor's administrative bill will unquestionably find hard sledding when it comes up for consideration. The bill provides for the creation of nine departments in the consolidations of various bureaus, boards and commissions, and the abolishment of some seventy such branches, but it puts the nine commissioners, heads of these nine new departments, under civil service. Rather gloomy reports are made by legislators from the agricultural districts. These reports show that the farmer is actually up against it and that accounts for him turning to any party of candidate that promises him some relief. Increasing taxation and lowering prices of products, high freight rates, shortage of cars and high interest on loans form the basis of nearly all complaints of the farmer. Legislators from the farming districts have come to Denver determined to do something to relieve the agriculturist. Senator William H. Adams, Democrat, Alamosa, is serving his thirty-eighth year in the State Legislature. He is noted for the few bills that he puts in, there having been sessions when his name was not attached to one bill. This season he has one—to appropriate $100,000 for a State Normal School in Alamosa. Considerable interest is being manifested among the legislators in the House bill that amends the workmen's compensation law. Now the payment of compensation does not begin until ten days after the accident, and the amendment cuts the time to three days. The present law makes the limit $10 a week and the amendment raises the sum to $15. The Farmers' Union is taking a lively interest in the present session of the Legislature. The co-operative marketing 'bill, the bill prohibiting discrimination in buying, the bill calling for railroad cars within five days after receipt of notice and the bill that prohibits discrimination in the distribution of cars are four in which the farmers vitally are interested. There are a dozen or more measures of more or less importance. Another bill put in was by Senator Henry Wolcott Toll, Republican, Denver, which provides for a farm loan bank with the funds of the schools. There are several bills in the Senate looking to the formation of such a bank, should the Toll bill become a law. Senator M. E. Bashor, Republican, Ordway, has submitted a motion that 1,500 copies of the Colorado river pact and 500 copies of the La Plata river pact be printed. There is a wide demand for copies of the bills, especially from lawyers. THE DOUGLAS UNDERTAKING CO. Funeral Notices. JONES—James T.

Under the laws of Mexico it is twice as much an offense to mutilate the face of a woman as that of a man. The idea of this is a very sensible one, being based on the fact that to a woman her beauty is a great asset; to mar it is therefore a very serious personal injury. The Ingulring Mind.

Negroes in Denver Schools Number 1,141,Report Says ATTENDANCE of Negro pupils at the Denver public schools indicates that the Negro population is exerting every effort for the education of their children. Statistics issued by the Denver school board show a total of 1,141 Negro pupils in the public schools, of which 640 are girls and 501 boys. Of the total number in the schools, 981 are in the elementary grades, while thirty-two are pupils in the junior high schools and 128 in the senior high schools. Whittier school, Twenty-fifth avenue and Marion street, has the largest attendance of Negro pupils. There are a total of 276 in this school, of which 146 are boys and 130 girls. Next in line is the Gilpin school, Twenty-ninth and Stout streets, where ninety boys and ninety-eight girls are enrolled. At the Opportunity school, Thirteenth and Welton streets, the scholars number 169. Of this number 127 are girls and forty-two boys. In the high schools Manual Training leads in the number of Negro pupils enrolled. At this school there are seventy-two Negroes, forty-one girls and thirty-one boys. East Denver High school is next with a total of nineteen Negro pupils, fourteen girls and five boys. The evening vocational high school has a total of nineteen Negro pupils. Of these thirteen are girls and six boys. North Side High school has siv Negro pupils and West Denver High school seven. In the smaller elementary schools the attendance varies from one at the Boulevard school to fifty-six at the Twenty-fourth street school. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Thirteen Hi-Y boys attended the supper of the city-wide Hi-Y boys' meeting at the Central Christian church last Monday evening. It was the largest group we have yet had to the suppers. They had a very profitable night and are glad they went. Mr. Davis is making splendid progress with the boys of the band. His main effort is to make them proficient in what they actually go over. A large number of boys attend the swimming and gymnasium classes at the bath house every Wednesday afternoon and evening. Again the rooms were literally crowded almost to the bursting point last Sunday afternoon. The speaker was the Rev. Leon B. Mayer of Kansas City, who gave a splendid Bible talk. Special music was rendered by the choir of the Central Baptist church, who acquitted themselves most splendidly. The entire membership of the choir was present, and members of the church came out and backed them up in splendid fashion. The meeting tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon is expected also to be of a similar nature as the one last Sunday. Secretary Thomas J. Bell will speak on the subject, "Is This World Coming to an End?" Questions will also be answered by the speaker. Special piano and clarinet selections will be rendered by Masters Arthur Smith and John Harrington. A special quartet will also render "When the Stars Begin to Fall." The program will begin promptly at 4 o'clock. Everybody will be welcome. C. M. E. CHURCH NOTES. All of the services of last Sunday were well attended, and were highly enjoyed by all present. The hour in the Sunday School was helpful, inspiring and enlightening as usual. The general lesson topic was "The Prodigal Son," and it was well discussed and proved to be of great interest to all the pupils. Last Sunday was the occasion of the First Quarterly Conference. However, there were circumstances over which Rev. R. P. Tyler, the Presiding Elder, had no control, thus prohibiting his being present. Nevertheless, everything was carried out as though he were here, and a fine day was had. Tomorrow there will be the usual program: Sunday School, 9:45 a. m. Praise service and morning worship, 11 a. m. Praise service and evening worship, 7:30 p. m. Rev. C. E. Chapman, minister in charge, will be the speaker both morning and evening. The morning hour subject will be, "The Result of the Presence of the Master." The evening hour subject will be, "Moved by the Spirit." A cordial invitation is extended all church goers. A hearty welcome is awaiting.

Dr. and Mrs. Nichols' small son Wilbur is very sick. We were rather shocked to learn of Miss Yvette Horne of 2003 Bluff passing away Sunday afternoon. Although Miss Horne has been sick a long time, and we had been expecting, still when the Grim Reaper comes he is a stranger to us. Our loss is Heaven's gain. Her funeral will be held on the 24th. We were sorry to learn of Mr. Lee Morrison's illness and operation, and hope for his soon recovery. Mrs. Washington is some better. Mrs. R. Allen was a Denver visitor Thursday the 18th. Mrs. Baskett, her mother, and Mrs. Mary Reeves, her sister, were the guests of their son and brother, Mr. George Morrison's "Recital," given at Shorter the 18th, they report a delightful time. This is Mrs. Baskett's (Mrs. Morrison's mother) first time she has been able to hear her son or be at any of his "Recitals," as other times she has been in Missouri. The Cedar Art Club was entertained delightfully at Mrs. R. Allen's, 2003 Goss, on the 19th. Rev. Murphy gave a rather novel but interesting service Sunday night with a sacred phonograph concert in connection with a sermon on the subject, "Music of the Earth and Skies." He turned out the lights and lit candles while the phonograph played "Let the Lower Lights Be Burning." There were many familiar songs played. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

The Successful Gardener Plants the Seeds in a Flat Tray, to Be Set in a Window on the Living Room Floor or in the Basement Where It Is Warm and Sunny. START THE PLANTS IN WINDOW BOXES All Vegetable and Flower Seeds Respond to Warmth and the Bright Sunshine. A window box for starting early vegetable plants will give the home gardener from ten days to three weeks advantage in earliness over his neighbor who does not have some means of starting early plants. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cabbage, cauliflower and lettuce are the crops that lend themselves best to starting early in the house. It does not matter what kind of a box is used, but for convenience it should be about 3 or 4 inches The Home-Made Flat. deep and of a size that will readily fit into the window space. The box can be set on a small table or on special legs or supports. One method of providing a window box is described by the United States Department of Agriculture. Take a soap box or some similar packing box and saw it horizontally lengthwise into two sections. If the box is too deep for sawing through the center, two cuts can be made, using the top of the box with cover nailed on to form the bottom tray and the bottom part of the box for a second tray. The middle section which is cut out may have a bottom nailed onto it, forming still another tray. Only one tray will be needed in the window at first for the sowing of the seeds. Later additional trays or flats, as they are called, are required for transplanting. One point of great importance in starting early plants in the window is to see that they are not over watered. Another point is to turn the box from time to time so that the plants will not grow crooked and drawn toward the window. A supply of good soil should be stored in the cellar or in some dry place in the autumn in order to have it available along in February or March when it is wanted for filling the window boxes. This soil should be of a light loam or sandy nature and the part used in the transplanting trays should contain a very little finely sifted manure well mixed with the soil. The plants should be shaded for a day or so and kept well watered after transplanting, but as the season advances the trays should be carried into the open air whenever it is warm enough and the plants exposed to outdoor conditions so that they will be sturdy and accustomed to the open air by the time it is safe to set them in the garden. In removing the plants from the trays for setting in the ground a knife or trowel should be run between them so that they may be lifted with a nice block of earth adhering to their roots. BEET CONTAINS IRON The beet is said to be especially valuable as an article of diet because it contains a larger portion of iron than other vegetables. SHOULD FERTILIZE TO GET GOOD CROP Stable Manure, Soil Building Crops, or Commercial Fertilizer Necessary. Most farmers can spare enough manure from their other crops to fertilize properly a one-fourth acre garden plot, but in some sections, especially near towns, manure is no longer to be had in quantity and other means must be found for fertilizing garden soils. In brief, states the United States Department of Agriculture, at least three methods of adding fertility to the soil. First, by the application of manure; second, by the use of soil building crops, and, third, by commercial fertilizers. No one method is as good as any two or the three combined, and if we are to get the best results from the use of commercial fertilizer a reasonable amount of manure or organic matter must be in the soil. The amount of manure required will depend entirely upon the soil itself but very few cases are found where the use of manure on gardens is being overdone. The same might be said about the turning under of manure crops or soil building crops. Even the weeds that grow upon the surface during the late summer, aside from their seeds, are often valuable for working into the soil. The method of applying the manure will also depend upon local conditions, but as a rule manure that has been piled and thoroughly composted will give better results than that which is in the raw state. Too much cannot be said in favor of the compost pile by means of which equal parts of manure and soil or sods, which are even better are piled to rot. This compost heap should be turned once or twice during the winter months and the material applied to the garden as a top dressing during the spring. Ten tons of this kind of material will not be too much for A man working in a field. Intensive Fertilization. the ordinary one-fourth acre garden. Commercial fertilizers are used for adding plant food to the garden and give best results when used in conjunction with stable manure or compost. Commercial gardeners often use as much as 4,000 pounds to the acre for special crops like celery, but generally speaking 400 or 500 pounds of a fertilizer containing 3 or 4 per cent nitrogen, 8 per cent phosphoric acid and 2 to 4 per cent potash, will be all that is needed on a one-fourth-acre garden. Fertilizers should be used most heavily on corn, potatoes, cabbage and the root crops and more lightly on beans, peas and tomatoes. SHARP TOOLS The majority of gardeners enjoy the ask more when the tools are sharp. File the edge of your hoes and spades before time to work in the open. FALL IS QUITTING DIFFICULT PLACE HIS SUCCESSOR AS SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR MUST BE A BRAVE MAN.

CLARK Washington. — Who is to succeed Albert B. Fall as secretary of the interior? There have been intimations that the cabinet place is likely to go to some former senator of the United States who did not succeed in securing re-election in November, but there is perhaps a stronger feeling that the President will offer the place to some business man who never has held public office. Whoever it is that is to succeed Mr. Fall will take unto himself a not altogether thankful job. A legacy of controversy left to Uncle Sam by Gifford Pinchot, now governor of Pennsylvania, when he departed from Washington public life, is believed to be in part and perhaps largely responsible for the resignation of Secretary Fall. The Interior department is a sort of graveyard for the hopes and ambitions of men who think they have in them the overcoming spirit and therefore can succeed where others have failed. There are two schools of public opinion on the subject of what ought to be the endeavor of the secretary of the interior. Men have attempted to reconcile these schools of thought, and thus far have failed. It will be a brave man who will accept Mr. Fall's discarded cabinet job. A desire to re-enter private life in order to give attention to personal business concerns is a reason offered for Mr. Fall's resignation. The secretary, however, probably would not we willing to affirm solemnly that this is the sole reason. He probably is going out because his views on methods of conservation are not the views of a school which holds sessions in the Department of Agriculture. The roots of the reason for Mr. Fall's resignation are the roots of trees. Disagreement about the forestry policies of the government in part probably induced Mr. Fall to resign from the service. Disagreement Over Forestry. Disagreement Over Forestry. It was a year ago that it became known in an at first rather nebulous way that Secretary Fall and Secretary Wallace of the Agricultural department were not entirely at one as to the forestry policies. Mr. Fall desired that the forestry service should be transferred from the Department of Agriculture to the Department of the Interior. Mr. Wallace stood opposed. Agriculture seems to have had its way. Recently an attempt was made to compromise the differences between the two departments. A compromise where strong feelings exist seldom seems to be satisfactory. It was unsatisfactory in this case. Mr. Fall goes out. Mr. Wallace stays in. When President Harding was selecting the timber for his cabinet there were two or three men who thought that they could conduct the duties of the Interior department in a manner which would be satisfactory to all the elements in the population. It is said that Mr. Fall, who received the appointment, was not at all certain that adjustment of differences would be possible, but he believed his views were right and he thought it better to attempt to do what his feelings told him It was right to do rather than to yield conviction for the sake of compromise. What he thought was right other men thought was wrong. Whoever was right, the result has been the resignation of Mr. Fall and the seeming triumph of that school of conservation thought which was triumphant in the days of Secretary Ballinger, compelling as it did his resignation from the office of the Interior. Pinchot's Policy Wins. It seems to be the fixed belief here that President Harding holds with Secretary Full that the forestry advocates have gone too far in their demands for conservation. Nevertheless the other thought on the matter seems to be the more popular one and so to speak the more numerous one. Gifford Pinchot was in Washington not long ago. He had a long interview with the President of the United States, and it is not believed that they discussed the weather entirely. The Pinchot school of conservation believes and always has believed that if the Interior department should gain control of forestry the trees would not be saved for posterity. For some reason the foresters have believed the Interior department officials were the enemies of the forests. On the other hand, the Interior department's belief has been that the foresters simply wished to tie up the tree possessions of the United States so they could not be used and at the same time saved. It has been a very pretty row that has lasted through the years. Ask Admission of More Aliens. A committee appointed by the National Manufacturers' association has been pleading with the members of the house committee on immigration to modify the present immigration restriction law. It is claimed in Washington that the farmers generally are sympathetic with the manufacturers in their desire to push the gate open a ways. A month ago it was predicted that a strong effort would be made to let more immigrants into this country, men of the hard manual labor type. It also was predicted that American labor organizations would oppose strongly any changes in the present law unless the changes were in the direction of strengthening the exclusion measure. Labor today is opposed to the attempt of the manufacturers to change the law. There would be no change at all that congress would listen to the pleas of the members of the committee who are here today were it not that the farmers are said to be with the manufacturers. It is said that many of the so-cained conservatives and semi-conservatives find themselves today sympathetic with the agricultural bloc in this one movement. The great industries have been calling for more laborers and the conservatives and the semi-conservatives never have been indifferent to such pleadings. Labor Not Alone in Opposition. There will be a fight and a worthy one before the present immigration law is changed. Labor is not the only organization in the United States that is opposed to letting down the bars. The American Legion is on record as favoring a total exclusion of immigrants for a period of years. The Legion will fight the proposed change in the law. Moreover, there are stories to the effect that certain other organizations in the United States, powerful numerically and which have given no striking exhibition of a desire to welcome to these shores any more Europeans, will use their influence with senators and representatives to prevent any killing to the plea of the representatives of the industrial and farm bodies. Here is what the committee of the National Manufacturers' association desires shall be done: "1. That in fixing the quota of each nationality of otherwise admissible aliens under the present law due regard should be given to the ascertained annual emigration from the United States of persons of such nationality. "2. That the secretary of labor shall be authorized, upon the presentation to him of satisfactory evidence of a continuing shortage of labor of a particular type or class, to admit otherwise admissible aliens in excess of the quota, until in his judgment such condition is improved. "3. That provision shall be made for physical examination of aliens at ports of embarkation, or where their passports are vised, except that such requirement shall be waived upon assurances of another government that such satisfactory examination has been made." Further Relaxation Feared. Virtually every official in Washington was convinced weeks ago that before the present session of congress should end immigration again would become a subject of controversy. It is true that the present movement for a weakening of the exclusion act contemplates the admission of comparatively few additional foreigners, but the records show that when one wedge is entered it is an easy matter to enter others. Of course the desire of the manufacturer and farmers is to secure labor of a certain type or class. A farmer wants a farm laborer and a manufacturer wants a manufacturing laborer, and it is asked that legislation be so framed that they will get what they want. The history of the past, however, has shown that immigrants who worked on the farms in Europe will not always work on the farms in the United States. They get to New York and there they stay, unless something draws them to Chicago or Philadelphia or Baltimore, and neither of these cities has any large number of farms within its municipal limits. There will be a fight in Washington over this immigration matter. It would seem, however, that unless labor, plus several other organizations, has more influence than it is generally accredited with, the bars will be let down. With the business rush and all that, employers of clerks in local bookstores cannot be sure that each struggling young woman they employ has flockled through Dickens, Hartorne, Goethe, DeBussy, et al, and, in addition to knowing "looks" knows books. Saturday, a prospective buyer came to one of the downtown bookstores. She sought out a book counter. To her question: "Have you 'Pickwick Papers'?" the clerk answered: "You might try the magazine counter."—Detroit Free Press. Bermuda Islands Subsiding. According to Prof. A. E. Verrill, the beautiful Bermuda islands are merely the remnant of an island very much larger than the present entire group, which has sunk in the ocean. The original island had an area of 300 or 400 square miles, whereas the Bermudas today are only about twenty square miles in area. Within a comparatively recent period, says Professor Verrill, the Bermudas have subsided at least 80 or 100 feet. Their base is the summit of an ancient volcano, while their surface is composed of shell saud drifted into hills by the wind and consolidated by infiltration WASHINGTON GOSSIP Maneuvers of the United States Fleet Lord's Way of Fixing Up the Budget Senate Looks Gift Horse in the Mouth "Mr. War Risk Insurance" Is Smiling WASHINGTON.—The newly constituted United States fleet, consisting of both the Pacific and Atlantic naval forces, will rendezvous at Panama February 19 for winter maneuvers and great-gun target practice against the old battleship Iowa, which will be radio controlled during the firing. In making public the maneuver schedule, Secretary Denby also announced the assignment of ships under the new consolidation fleet plan. The battle fleet commanded by Admiral Eberle, whose flag will fly from the U. S. S. California, will sail from Pacific coast ports for Panama, while the scouting fleet and train will leave east coast ports for Guantana- WHEN the executive department heads put in their estimates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1924, they called for $200,000,000 more than the available income. General Lord, director of the budget bureau, took the preliminary estimates and went over each one of them painstakingly, striking out what appeared to him less pressing expenditures, till he got all the departmental estimates down to a point where they added up to a total not exceeding the three billion two hundred million limit set by President Harding. Then, not telling the departments just how he reached his conclusions, he notified each of them of the figure which he regarded as the limit. He told them they must somehow try to live within that limit, and he instructed them to revise their estimates accordingly. But he did not stop there. First, he indicated the total only and let each department make such adjustments within that total as it saw fit in revising its estimates. Second, he permitted each department to put in a supplemental list of items over and above the revised estimates which the department chief considered essential. Then with the preliminary estimates, the revised estimates, the supplement- UNCLE SAM, though the efficiency experts say he probably is the poorest business man on earth, never hesitates to look a gift horse in the mouth. For example, here is a joint resolution passed the other day by the senate: "Whereas Joseph Battell, deceased, late of Middlebury, county of Addison, state of Vermont, in and by his last will and testament devised to the government of the United States of America about 3,900 acres of land situated in the towns of Lincoln and Warren, in the state of Vermont, for a national park; and "Whereas said lands were devised to the United States of America upon certain conditions, among which were the following: That the government should construct and maintain suitable roads and buildings upon the HERE are some extracts from letters sent the war risk department: "Please return my marriage certificate, as my baby hasn't eaten in three days." "Now, Mrs. Wilson, I need help bad. See if the president can't help me, as I need him to look after me." "Both sides of our parents are old and poor." "Please send me a wife's form." Please send me a write form. "I have been in bed 13 years with one doctor, and I intend to try another one." "Hulloe, Mr. War Risk Insurance. How are you? I am well and I hope you are the same." "Dear Mr. Wilson: I have already written to Mr. Headquarters and received no reply, and if I don't get one pretty soon, I am going to write Uncle Sam himself." "I am a poor widow and all I have is in the front." "We have your letter and in reply to yours truly, he was born and brung up in this house according to your instructions. I am his grandfather and his grandmother." "I ain't received no pay since my mo bay to join the battle fleet at Panama. Vice Admiral McDonald, aboard the U. S. S. Wyoming, will command. Admiral Jones, commander in chief of the fleet, with his flagship, the Maryland, and the battleships Arkansas and Florida, will leave the Atlantic coast after the scouting fleet to participate in the maneuvers, which will continue until March 31. As now assigned, the battleship division of the battle fleet will be commanded by Vice Admiral Shoemaker aboard the New Mexico, the New Mexico, Idaho and Tennessee forming the fifth division; the Arizona, Mississippi, Pennsylvania and Nevada the fourth division, and the New York, the Texas and Oklahoma the third division. Rear Admiral Burrage, aboard the old cruiser Charleston, as flagship, will command the two squadrons of 19 destroyers each. The Wright is assigned as flagship and tender of the aircraft squadrons, scouting fleet, Capt. W. R. Gherardi, commanding. The airplane equipment will be 18 scouting planes and 18 torpedo planes. REVISED ESTIMATES tal lists, and tables of former appropriations all before him, General Lord held hearings on the revised estimates and listened to each department chief plead his case. As a result of these hearings, adjustments in the revised estimates were made wherever necessary. The final estimates that went to congress included those adjustments. Some of the departments which were particularly aggrieved over the tentative revision of their estimates found that when the final figures went in they had been generously treated. As the years go by, it is General Lord's hope that the representatives of the budget bureau will come to know more about the different departments than the department chiefs themselves. land constituting such national park for the use and accommodation of visitors to such park, and should employ suitable caretakers to the end and purpose that the woodland should be properly cared for and preserved so far as possible in its primitive beauty; and "Whereas it is deemed inexpedient to accept said devise and to establish a national park in accordance with the terms thereof: Be it "Resolved by the senate (the house of representatives concurring), that the acceptance of said devise so made by Joseph Battell in his last will and testament be declined by the government of the United States, and that the estate of the said Joseph Battell be forever discharged from any obligation to the United States growing out of the devise before mentioned." The bill (S. 1080) to provide for the establishment of the park was reported from the public lands committee with the recommendation that it be indefinitely postponed. In explanation a letter from Acting Secretary Finney of the Interior department was read, in which he said the department had made no investigation and was therefore in no position to render a report. Evidently Uncle Sam does not want the Battell National park. my boy was put in changed a apiton husband left and I shall soon be forced to lead an immortal life." "Please let me know if John has put in an application for a wife and child." "You have changed my little boy into a little girl. Will that make any difference?" "I am writing to ask you why I have not received my elopement." "His money was kep from him for the elopement which I never received." "I have not heard from John since he was sent to a constipation camp in Germany." "My boy was put in charge of a splittoon (platoon). Will he get more money?" POTATOES Sweet Potatoes May Be Served in Some Form In Almost Any Course in a Menu. (Prepared by the United States Department The following recipes have been of Agriculture.) Sweet potatoes, although of tropical origin, are now grown in large quantities in the United States. According to figures for 1921, more than 98,000,000 bushels, valued at over $86,000,000, were produced in this country. Naturally the climate of the Southern states is better suited to this crop than the shorter growing season of the North, but, with early planting, sweet potatoes are grown successfully as far north as southern Michigan. The United States Department of Agriculture has recently made a study of the different varieties of sweet potatoes now grown in the United States, and has classified them in eight groups. Under these groups are at least forty varieties having special characteristics, while the list of names by which minor varieties are known runs into the hundreds. Sweet potatoes vary in shape and size from slender banana-shaped roots to those so large and thick as to merit the nickname of "underground squash" sometimes applied to them. The texture, flavor and color of the flesh of sweet potatoes range from dry, mealy ones of whitish color and low sugar content, to juicy, pumpkin-colored kinds from which sweet sirup oozes during the baking. Sweet potatoes, prepared in one form or another, may be served satisfactorily in almost any course in a menu. To take the place of white potatoes, or to combine with left-over meat, the mealy varieties should be chosen. For candied sweet potatoes, sweet potato chips, or latticed potatoes, the sweeter, more juicy kinds are best. MARKETING METHODS IMPROVED IN SOUTH Women Ship in Weekly Eggs Graded and Guaranteed. No One Thinks of Shipping Poultry Without First Fattening It—Much Money Made in Selling Preserves and Jelly. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Acting upon the advice of extension workers, South Carolina women have made steady advances in standardizing the products they offer for sale and in increasing their output. For example, in Charleston county, starting with one woman two years ago, there are now over 70 women shipping in weekly their graded and guaranteed eggs. Two years ago no one thought of fattening poultry before sending to market. Today no one thinks of sending poultry to market without first fattening it. The women realize as never before that a standard-bred fowl produces higher-priced eggs and market poultry than a mongrel. The improvement in preserving is also marked. Two years ago only one woman produced really standard preserves and jelly. Now there are nine who can for market and many others who put up a few dozen to sell. The original woman who sold preserves has so developed her business that she has built a factory and has planned for an output of 10,000 containers. The members of the local home demonstration club assist her and in this way not only make pocket money for themselves but improve their own work, and in a few years the entire community bids fair to be well known for its specialized products. The number of dozen eggs sold, as reported to the extension agent, is 8,142, and the pounds of poultry, 19,667. The value of canned goods actually sold is $512, and the total amount of all products is $8,504.94. In the state last year approximately 5,000 containers of such standardized products as Dixie burgoo, pine bark fish stew, Brunswick stew, soup mixture, blackberry jam, fig preserves, plum jelly, grape juice, artichoke relish, and butter were put on the market through the South Carolina Home Producers' association. This year contracts have been signed for about 200,000 containers. The following recipes have been lected as typical: Sweet Potato Puff. 2 pounds of sweet 2 teaspoonfuls of potatoes. Whites of 2 eggs. ½ teaspoonful salt. Boll and mash sweet potatoes. Add butter, salt and stiffly beaten whites of eggs. Pour into buttered baking dish or custard cups. Bake in a med- um oven 25 to 30 minutes. Baked Sweet Potatoes (Special). Bake six medium-sized sweet potato and cut them in halves lengthwise. Scoop out the inside and season it with salt, pepper and butter, and molsten with milk. Mash them and beat until light. Refill the skins with the seasoned potatoes and brown in the oven. Escalloped Sweet Potatoes and Meat. Cover the bottom of a buttered baking dish with cooked sliced sweet potatoes, cover with a layer of cold meat, either ground or chopped; add another layer of sweet potatoes; season with salt, pepper and butter, or meat fryings. Molsten with gravy or water. Bake in a moderate oven until brown. Sweet Potato Souffle With Marshmallows. To two cupfuls of hot riched sweet potatoes add three tablespoonfuls of butter, one-half teaspoonful of salt, pepper to taste, and one-half cupful of hot milk. Beat the mixture well. Then beat two eggs separately, add yolks to the potato mixture, cut and fold in the stiffly beaten whites. Place the mixture in a buttered baking dish and place a layer of marshmallows close together over the top and brown in a slow oven. Grapefruit Jelly. Grapefruit jelly is made by following the directions for making bitter orange jelly, with the exception that for each pound of fruit taken three-quarters pound of sugar is added. These directions are given by the United States Department of Agriculture. MANY GARMENTS REMODELED Old Articles of Wearing Apparel to Number of 55,000 Made Over by Farm Women. Old garments were remodeled by farm women last year, as a result of demonstrations by county extension agents, into 55,600 up-to-date articles of apparel, according to reports to the United States Department of Agriculture. Under similar instruction 105,000 new garments were made. Household Questions Too much salt hinders bread from rising. Rust on copper may be removed with liquid ammonia. Coffee may be used as the Hiquid in spice or ginger cakes. It gives an interesting flavor. Putty mixed with mustard and broken glass will make the best filling for holes where rats and mice come in. If the drain pipe of the sink is stopped with grease, try pouring down kerosene before you send for the plumber. If vaseline is heated a little and rubbed on doors, chairs, beds or hinges that squeak, they will at once become noiseless.

A most delicious stuffed apple and one that is quite unusual is Hill Stuffed Apples. Core nice-flavored apples like the Jonathan, fill the centers with mince meat. Place the apples in a baking dish, sprinkle with sugar and pour around one-half cupful of water for each Core nice-flavored apples like the 'Jonathan, fill the centers with mince meat. Place the apples in a baking dish, sprinkle with sugar and pour around one-half cupful of water for each six apples. Cover and bake until tender, then uncover and sprinkle with sugar to glaze. Serve hot. Raisin Surprise.—Take one and one-half cupfuls of raisins, one beaten egg, one orange, four cupfuls of cooked corn meal mush, five table-spoonfuls of sugar, beaten with the egg. Add mush to the sugar and egg, then the grated rind and juice of the orange, with water enough to make a cupful. Stir in the raisins at the last. Pour in a mold and when firm serve with whipped cream. Cranberry Conserve. — Take two cupfuls of cranberries cooked until tender and put through a coarse sieve. Add one-half cupful of orange juice, one teaspoonful of grated orange rind, one and one-half cupfuls of sugar, one cupful of raisins, one-half cupful of blanched and shredded almonds. Cook until jelly-like and mold or turn into glasses; cover with paraffin. Orange Marmalade.—When oranges are the most plentiful and cheapest is the time to prepare this delicious concoction. The following is a prize winner from the Times-Picayune: Select sour smooth-skinned oranges, weigh and allow three-fourths their weight in sugar. Remove the peel in quarters and cook soft in enough boiling water to cover. Drain and remove all the white part from the peel, scraping it with a spoon. Cut the thin yellow rind into fine strips with a pair of shears. Divide the oranges into sections, remove the seeds and tough portions of the fiber, put into a kettle and heat to the boiling point; add the sugar gradually, cooking slowly, one hour; add the rind and cook another hour. Turn into glasses. For dinner try some of these: Tomato soup, salted wafers, escalloped tuna, spinach, creamed celery, pineapple salad, bread and butter, plum pudding or mince plie. Bouillon, olives, biscuit, tongue, salmon timbals, asparagus salad, nuts crackers and coffee: You were made for enjoyment and the world is filled with things you will enjoy unless you are too proud to be pleased by them—John Ruskin. THINGS NEW AND OLD Indexing receipts is a very common custom in most households. The in- dex habit is a good one to form. READING good one to form Another index covering house hold supplies and the place where they may be found will be of great use in time of illness or absence of the housekeeper. For who has not spent hours looking for something important which might have been easily located if this method were followed. In most households there are often several slices of stale bread to dispose of at the end of the week, or oftener. If your family is fond of griddle cakes manage to have them once or twice a week. Use five, six or more small slices of bread or the equivalent, cover with cold water and let soak until evening, then squeeze dry and cover the bread with a cupful or more of sour milk, adding more milk in the morning; soda and flour to make a batter to fry, using one to three eggs, depending upon the amount of cakes needed. These cakes will be tender and light as an omelet if properly made and baked. An occasional bread pudding using bread, milk, egg, sugar and some good flavoring like grated orange or lemon and a bit of jelly on top when serving, will keep the most active bread box empty. Of course the pudding is baked like a custard in a moderate oven. Raisins, dates, figs and nuts may be added to such bread pudding, giving variety. Try this breakfast food: Toast stale bread until a golden brown and dry as possible. Grind in the meat chopper or roll on the molding board. Serve with sugar and cream. In washing greens add a handful of salt to the water, then rinse well. The salt will cause insects to let go their hold on the leaves and they may be easily removed. To avoid lumps in white sauces or gravies, mix the fat with the flour or cornstarch or with sugar to separate the grains, before adding the liquid. A bit of vinegar added to meat that seems to be tough will do wonders toward softening the tough fibers. Nellie Maxwell The KITCHEN CABINET (©, 1923, Western Newspaper Union.)

Soak the prunes overnight, soften the raisins in a tablespoonful or two of orange juice. Cook the prunes in the water in which they were soaked, remove the pits and cut in quarters. Add the sugar, raisins, vinegar and spices. Cook until thick—about forty-five minutes. Add almonds and cook five minutes. Pour into sterilized glasses and when cold seal with paraffin. Frangipani.—Line a deep pie tin with a rich pastry, using part butter to improve the flavor, and fill with the following mixture: Take one-half cupful of shellled, blanched almonds, grate them fine then pound to a paste in a mortar, add to four tablespoonfuls of butter and one-half cupful of powdered sugar well-blended. Into a double boiler place two cupfuls of milk, add the yolks of three eggs well-beaten and two tablespoonfuls of flour mixed with a little cold milk. Cook all together then add the almond paste. Cook until it thickens; flavor with almond extract. Bake until well done, cover with a meringue, using the whites of the eggs, and cover with halves of almonds. Brown in the oven. Seasoned Potatoes.—Put hot boiled potatoes through a ricer after seasoning them well with butter, salt, cayenne and two tablespoonfuls of grated onion. Serve hot with boiled Frankfort sausages. Cream Cakes.—Cream one-half cupful of butter, add one cupful of sugar and beaten yolks of three eggs, one-half cupful of milk, two cupfuls of flour and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Fold in stiffly-beaten whites, add flavoring and bake in small gem pans. Ice with boiled frosting and decorate with citron and red candies to resemble holly. Chocolate Fudge.—Take two cupfuls of sugar, one-third of a cupful of corn syrup, one-half cupful of milk, a tablespoonful of butter and a square or two of chocolate. Cook to the soft-ball stage, cool, add nuts and vanilla and stir until creamy. Drop by spoonfuls on buttered baking sheets. Nellie Maxwell First Class Meals Served 2444 Washington St., Denver, Colo.
