THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY FOURTH ANNUAL BANQUET OF DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION GREATEST IN HISTORY OF DENVER Lincoln-Douglass-Brown Celebration Surpasses All Previous Efforts. --- VOL. XXIX. FOURTH ANNUAL B DENVER COLORED C GREATEST IN H Lincoln-Douglass-Bre passes All Pre THE DENVER Colored Civic Association, in its fourth an- nual Lincoln-Douglass memorial celebration and ban moral celebration and banquet in the beautiful auditorium of the Chamber of Commerce building Monday night, Feb. 12, gave to Denver and to history something that will live long in the memories of everyone so fortunate as to be present. It was an event extending beyond the simple forms and ceremonies of the usual banquet; it was an occasion filled with enthusiasm and well-directed purpose. Everyone caught the spirit and felt the importance of the occasion, laying aside all cold reserve and mechanical formalities. The scene was one never to be forgotten, whether one looked in upon the scentillating loveliness and rare beauty of the palm laden lounging room, where a hundred or more of our ladies handsomely gowned and jewel bedecked reclined in easy fashion, or upon the spacious banquet hall where was seated citizens representative of every profession and business in Denver. Promptly at 8:30 the banqueters formed in line with Major and Mrs. Thos. Campbell at the head and marched into the dining room. Miss Oleata Anderson, though a guest of the occasion, sweetly consented to preside at the piano in absence of the musician engaged for the evening, and her willingness to play, coupled with her skill and enthusiasm, did_much to make the entire program. The Denver Colored Civic Association is vastly indebted to Miss Anderson, for never have we encountered a young girl who responded more readily to a call to service than did she on this occasion. Then there was Harry Townsend, who put the "pep" into the community singing by introducing several novel stunts that caught the fancy of the merry throng at once. One of the catchy musical numbers was the characterization of "Old Black Joe," by that premier artist, Curtis M. Harris, with the entire body joining the chorus. Tremendous applause greeted this sketch that continued long after Mr. Harris had taken his seat. Another musical surprise was the Orpheus Lady Quartette that appeared before the Colored Civic Association for the first time. They rendered two very acceptable numbers and were well received. As to the program and the banquet in general, the COLORADO STATESMAN is willing to go on record as saying that the association reached its high water mark this year. If called upon to give a reason for it we would say that the adding of the name of John Brown to that of the list of heroes to be honored, with Mrs. Ida De Priest to handle the subject, was the main contributing factor. Mrs. De Priest has long been a favorite in the social and intellectual circles of Denver. Something of inestimable value is always expected wherever she appears upon a program. However, in her treatise of the life and work of John Brown last Monday night, she --- State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House FOR THE ONLY RELIANCE COLORA BANQUET OF CIVIC ASSOCIATION HISTORY OF DENVER own Celebration Sur- evious Efforts. gave a distinct surprise to her many friends and admirers. She measured well, both the occasion and the achievements of the martyr of whom she was to speak, and she arose superbly to each. In selecting a toastmaster for an occasion of such importance the committee made a happy choice in Mr. LeRoy J. Perkins. He presided with a dignified bearing that was both pleasing and inspiring. He introduced each speaker with neat wit, ticisms that kept all in a continuous happy frame of mind. Owing to the absence of Attorney John Adams of Pueblo, Father H. E. Rahming was prevailed upon to deliver the address upon "Abraham Lincoln." The learned rector of the Church of the Redeemer has long since been affectionally regarded as "Denver's community man," and the able manner in which he responded without a moments advance notice, shows how worthily Denver's confidence has been placed. His was a masterly address and opened the way for the high class program that followed. The next speaker was Mrs. Ida De Priest with John Brown of Ossawatomie as her subject, and as before stated, she let in a new light on her genius and ability. The life of John Brown was not such as to call for eloquent tribute so much as pathos and prayerful praise. Mrs. DePriest was equal to the requirements of the hour and visible emotion swayed the audience as they sang "John Brown's Body," immediately following his address. Then came M. M. D. Perdue, D.D. of Colorado Springs, on the subject, "Frederick Douglass." Rev. Perdue is a young man who has been in Colorado less than a year. He came here from Kentucky, where he was reared and where he had pastored a large church that had previously been pastored by his father. During the world war he received the appointment of chaplain in the U. S. army and served with distinction until mustered out late in 1919. Since his coming to Colorado we have heard much of his ability and leadership, all of which has been very flattering and praiseworthy. But we say now that the half was not told. As an orator, a scholar, clear cut Christian gentleman, Rev. Perdue has come to Colorado at a convenient season. The baptist denomination needs his wisdom, the Negroes of Colorado need his counsels and the state his ability. Forceful and logical, carrying his audience with easy transition from laughter to tears, deep in his historical references and beautiful in metaphorical flights, the Rev. Perdue gave to the Denver Colored Civic Association and its guests a treat worthy of the day and the great heroes memorialized. Too much credit cannot be given Maj. Thos. Campbell, president of the association, and his estimable wife, whose enthusiastic interest proved such a potent factor in making this fourth annual event a big success. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1923. Record Company Changes Name and Increases Capital Prominent Race Men Elected to Board of Directors Declares Dividends to Stockholders New York, N. Y.—At the annual meeting of the stockholders held here this week, the legal details necessary to the change of name of the Pace Phonograph Corporation, manufacturers of Black Swan records, to the Black Swan Phonograph Company, Incorporated, were completed. At the same time the capital stock of the company was increased from $50,000 to $75,000 and a cash dividend of 6 per cent was voted to the stockholders of record. This company began business less than two years ago in a basement room with a force of one stenographer and the organizer. Today it owns and occupies its office building, 2289 Seventh avenue, where all of its clerical work is done, and operates a factory covering 12,000 square feet, in Long Island City, in the finest manufacturing district in the world. It does its own recording, plating, pressing and printing and employs over forty people, with a combined payroll of over $1,000 per week. The report showed the gross income of the company for the year was over a quarter of a million dollars. Despite the serious depression during last year it showed a steady average in sales for all three of its products, records, needles and Swanolas. During the year the company paid to colored singers and musicians over $5,000 for records made, furnishing opportunities to our singers denied by white companies. Some of the artists of whom records were made during the year were Florence Cole Talbert, Antoinette Garnes, Kemper Harreld, Revella Hughes, Ethel Waters, Trixie Smith, Josie Miles and many others. Every type of song from Grand Opera, Sacred, and Standard, to popular numbers are made. The companies recordings compare favorably with any record made. The new board of directors consists of John E. Nail, Dr. W. E. B. DuBols, T. K. Gibson, W. H. Wilson, Dr. M. v. Boutte, J. Thos. Williams, Philadelphia; Dr. Godfrey Nurse, W. H. Willis, Mrs. Viola Bibb, J. P. Quander, Jr., and Harry H. Pace. The late Bert Williams was one of the principal stockholders of the company, and had consented just before he died to become consulting director of recording. CATHOLICS ORGANIZE TO DE- FEAT KLAN. Only Negro People Are Supine and Backward in Face of National Menace. Cincinnati, Feb. 6.—Pastors in more than 200 Roman Catholic churches in Greater Cleveland, representing more than 200,000 citizens, included in their sermons today an invitation to their congregations to join the largest national organization ever planned in the history of Catholicism in America. One of the prime objects of the organization, which aims to enroll 12,000,000 Catholics, is "to resist discriminatory legislation and to nullify and exterminate the precepts of the Ku Klux Klan." Garvey Case Takes Ku Klux Wizard to N. Y. Garvey Case Takes Ku Klux Wizard to N. Y. E. Y. Clark Tells Federal Grand Jury of Atlanta Meeting With U. N. I. A. Head. New York, Feb. 8.—Edward Young Clarke, Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, came to this city from Atlanta, Ga., yesterday and appeared before the federal grand jury as a witness against Marcus Garvey, who is to be tried on February 20 for defrauding investors in the Black Star Line. At a meeting of the Universal Improvement Negro Association here in July, Garvey, who is known as the "Provisional President of Africa," denounced the Ku Klux Klan, but in October last he made a secret trip to Atlanta and conferred there with Clarke. The government learned of his conference recently and Assistant United States District Attorney Maxwell S. Mattuck had Clarke subpoenaed before the grand jury. It is believed that Clarke told of his dealings with Garvey. Clarke promised Mr. Mattuck after his appearance before the grand jury that he would send here papers which might throw light upon any overtures made by the Black Star Line to the Ku Klux Klan. "Edward Young Clarke was subpoenaed here by me from Atlanta ten days ago after the investigation into the case of Marcus Garvey disclosed that Clarke was visited by Garvey at Atlanta sometime ago in connection with Garvey's Black Star Line and the Universal Negro Improvement Association," said Mr. Mattuck. "It was my purpose to determine the nature of the conference between the so-called 'Provisional President of Africa,' and Clarke. Clarke appeared before the grand jury this morning and was examined by me at length as to the conference between the two men." Garvey and three officers and directors of the Black Star Line were indicted on a charge of having stated that the line had purchased a steamship which was to operate between this port and Africa. The line was capitalized at $10,000,000, and Garvey and his associates sought to sell 2,000,000 shares of the stock at par by sending circulars through the mails. In January, J. W. H. Eason, who was to have been the chief witness for the government against Garvéy, was murdered in New Orleans. There were about fifty other witnesses on the governments list, however, who would be able to supply the same evidence, it was said. Mr. Mattuck said he had known for some time that attempts were being made to intimidate witnesses, and that several of them had said that their lives had been threatened. COLORED CITIZENS WAKE UP There will soon be presented to the City Council of Denver a proposition known as the ZONING ORDINANCE or some other innocent title that will have for its primary purpose the segregation of Negroes in residential districts. Be on the alert, talk to your friends, your Councilman and in every honorable way do all you can to block this unnecessary legislation. S. E. CARY. NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE GETS $10,000 GIFT AT ANNUAL MEETING STEADY increase in the forces making for co-operation between the Negro and white races was emphasized by L. Hollingsworth Wood, chairman of the National Urban League, at its eleventh annual meeting in the Russell Sage Foundation building, Wednesday afternoon. He reported that the year 1922 had been the most important in the history of the Urban League movement which started with a small group in New York spending $2,500 in 1910, and has grown to a national movement with branches in more than forty cities spending more than $250,000 a year. "The greatest handicap to better inter-racial relations has been the indifference of the great mass of whites, and this indifference has been due largely to the limited knowledge by the whites of Negroes," said Mr. Wood. "The last few years have shown a new and significant change which has come about through the great migration of Negroes from the South into the industrial centers of the East and Middle West and through the attention which has been brought to inter-racial relations by the exposition of Ku Klux activities, by the congressional debates on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, by the public discussion of President Lowell's attempt to scrap one of Harvard's most precious traditions, and by similar incidents in which the Negro has figured in the news. "These incidents have mad the great contribution of focussing attention on this matter and for every person whose prejudices have been fostered there have been many real Americans who have accepted the challenge to our traditions of justice and fairplay and have become aroused to throw their influence with the constructive forces. "The result has been an increased interest in and support of the Urban League movement and a like stimulation of the other forces for co-operation, such as the Commission in Interracial Relations' which is becoming so important an influence in the South, and the activities of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. As material evidence of this increased interest, the Urban League announced that four new cities had organized affiliated groups in 1922, and that the income of the national organization had increased $15,000, to a total of $43,486. Announcement was also made that friends of the late Mrs. Harry Plotz, who died in Paris last spring, had raised $10,000 which had been given to the National Urban League for the establishment of the Ella Sachs Plotz Fund, the income from which is to be devoted "to the development and training of some Negro man or woman especially fitted for social and civic service in the community." Mrs. Plotz, who was a daughter of Samuel Sachs, was an active member of the Urban League Board and a trustee of Fisk University. Irving S. Merrell, president of the Merrell-Soule Company of Syracuse, and a trustee of Tuskegee Institute, and C. C. Spaulding, secretary-treasurer of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, the largest Negro insurance company, were elected to the executive board, and among those re-elected for a term of three years were Felix Adler, Mrs. Julius Rosenwald, Mrs. Booker T. Washington, William G. Willcox, Miss Nannie Burroughs of Washington, and James H. Dillard of Charlottesville, Va. The officers, in- No.18. cluding Mr. Wood, chairman; Dr. Robert R. Moton, vice chairman; William H. Baldwin, as secretary, and A. S. Frissell, as treasurer, were re-elected. The executive secretary of the league, Eugene Kinckle Jones, presented his annual report, showing the establishment of four new branches of the league the establishment of a new monthly magazine, "OPPORTUNITY," a journal of Negro life, surveys of the Negroes of Hartford and of the industrial opportunities of the Negroes in Baltimore. Record of the work in local communities was also presented. Naval H. Thomas Protests Against "Mammy" Statue in Washington NEVAL H. THOMAS, member of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has written a letter to the Washington Evening Star, protesting against that newspaper's editorial endorsement of the plan to erect a memorial to "colored mammies" of the South in the national capitol. Mr. Thomas refers to the plan as "movement having for its object to keep colored people in their former state of servitude." Mr. Thomas, after pointing out that the measure is sponsored by Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, continues: "We are glad that the white race appreciates the divine virtues of truth and loyalty which the 'black mammy' had, and has in abundance, but it overlooks the other divine virtue that is here, a divine love for her offspring. She bore her sufferings in patience because she believed that through them America's conscience would quicken and give her children and her children's children the justice they so richly deserve. My own beloved mother was one of those unfortunates who had the flower of her youth spent in a slave cabin, and I know the heart of a slave mother, its intense longing for better things for her children. "Every 'black mammy' who looks down from Heaven today upon this disordered world delights to see her beautiful daughters and granddaughters aspiring and attaining unto the beautiful and the true the spite of their handicaps which the Southern spirit which proposes this monument throws around them. She loves to see them reading the best in literature, filling positions for usefulness, taking honors at the best universities in the land, and reigning over cultured homes, not as 'old mammy' but as dutiful wife and tender mother. "So if the South has such deep gratitude for the virtues of this devoted group from which it reaped vast riches, let it remove the numberless barriers it has gone out of its way to throw up against the progress of the noble Negro womanhood who sprang from these 'mammies.' Democracy is the monument which the 'colored mammy' wants erected to her, and not a marble shaft, which at best will be but a symbol of our servitude to remind white and black alike that the menial callings are our place in the scheme of things." FOREIGN Dr. Thomas O'Higgins was assassinated at Dublin. Dr. O'Higgins was the father of Kevin O'Higgins, minister of home affairs in the Free State government. The council of state in Manila has amended regulations governing exploration and drilling for petroleum in the Philippines in an endeavor to encourage oil prospectors in the islands and the investment of outside capital. Liam Lynch, Republican chief of staff, issued a proclamation in Dublin, declaring that "the war will go on until the independence of our country is recognized by our enemies, foreign and domestic," and calling upon the army to "continue activities with vigor." Six women and a man, arrested at Limerick, are reported to have attempted to obtain the release of thirty prisoners from the Jail there. They bribed the sentry to allow the prisoners to escape over the wall. This he agreed to do, but soldiers in disguise came over instead and captured the waiting plotters. A violent cyclone swept Portugal recently, causing numerous deaths and great material damage. Numerous wrecks along the coast and in the rivers have been reported. Nine barques loaded with merchandise foundered at Oporto and hundreds of fishing boats went down in the Tagus river with a loss of seven lives. Roy H. Finch, assistant director of Killuaea volcano observatory, in charge of the seismograph at Hawaii, said that he was inclined to accept the deductions of those mainland scientists who placed the origin of the recent disturbances, which developed the tidal waves that swept the islands, as somewhere northwest of Hawaii. Metal and other products from the Ruhr and the Rhineland will not be permitted to go into unoccupied Germany. The French and Belgian governments served notice that in consequence of the efforts of the Germans to create difficulties for the occupational forces, this further embargo is to be imposed on exports from the two regions. Lieut. Walter Hinton, the American aviator, arrived in Rio Janeliro, completing his seaplane flight from New York for Rio Janeliro, a journey of more than 5,000 miles, undertaken as a mark of friendship between the United States and Brazil on the occasion of the latter nation's centennial celebration. He was beset with difficulties almost from the start. GENERAL As the culmination of a family quarrel in a remote village of the far north Edward O'Brien is dead; his son, Clifton, is dangerously wounded, and Canadian army are searching for Frederick O'Brien, an 18-year-old son and brother, who is alleged to be responsible for the shooting, according to reports received in Winnipeg, Canada. A rate war among stockyard commission men was forecast with the announcement by the Progressive Live Stock Commission Company of Chicago of a 40 per cent reduction in their charges for handling cattle and hogs in carload lots. The reduction takes effect immediately. A saving to the farmer and live stock producer of from $300,000 to $400,000 a year will be effected if the reduction becomes general. An amazing story of intrigue and deception was unfolded when Frank P. Walsh, attorney for twenty-two communists who are facing trial at St. Joseph, Mich., for advocating criminal syndicalism, began taking the deposition of Albert Ballin, alias Balanow, self-confessed spy and agent provocateur. By Balanow's testimony Mr. Walsh is seeking to show that radical organizations and "red" scares were invested at will by private detective agencies to assist them in collecting large sums of money from banking and other interests for the purpose of investigating the imaginary radical menace. Kansas City.—Coal miners and operators negotiating a new contract at Kansas City, Mo., for the southwestern coal fields have agreed on continuation of the present wage scale for one year, but the operators are seeking certain other concessions, F. W. Lukins of Kansas City, chairman of the joint conference sub-committee, announced. Chief Gabriel White Horse, a Cherokee Indian, went to the happy hunting grounds recently in New York City by a self-inflicted bullet wound through his heart. He had just learned, police said, that the pale face girl he adored had been merely "kidding" him. The cause of it all, according to the police, was Mrs. Norma Smith, 27 years old, cashier in a lunch room. Charges that a letter sent to the postmaster of New York City in October, 1920, threatening to kill him and blow up the Woolworth building was inspired by an official of the W. J. Burns Detective Agency were made by Albert Ballin, alias Balanow, confessed spy and agent provocateur, continuing his sworn deposition for use by the defense in the trial of twenty-two alleged communists at St. Joseph, Mich., Feb. 26. Earl B. Mayfield, United States senator-elect, and Silliman Evans, staff correspondent of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, came to blows at Austin, Texas, in a hotel lobby. The clash followed an argument about a news story, in the room of a mutual friend, it is said. Both went to the floor. Joseph N. Self, night watchman at the University of Kentucky at Lexington, is dead, and William H. Middleton, 19, of Paducah, Ky., a student at the university, is dying, as a result of a pistol battle fought on the university campus. AN EPITOME OF LATE LIVE NEWS CONDENSED RECORD OF THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS AT HOME AND ABROAD. FROM ALL SOURCES SAYINGS, DOINGS, ACHIEVE MENTS, SUFFERINGS, HOPES ANDFEARS OF MANKIND. WESTERN All but fourteen bodies of the 122 miners entombed in mine No. 1 at Dawson, N. M., following the recent explosion, have been removed by rescue crews. The list of official dead now numbers 106, two of the entombed men having walked out uninjured. J. E. Chilberg, former president of the defunct Scandinavian-American Bank of Seattle, stands cleared of a charge of illegally borrowing $65,000 from the bank. An indictment against him was dismissed on motion of the prosecuting attorney, who said there was no evidence to substantiate the charge. Felipe (Little Phil) Alguin, recently deported from Mexico after a continent-wide search for him, has confessed to Chief of Police Louis D. Oaks of Los Angeles the slaying of Detective Sergeant John J. Fitzgerald eighteen months ago, according to a report printed in the Los Angeles Times. A storm, marked by every characteristic of extreme winter weather from below zero temperatures to mile-a-minute gales, swept the Pacific coast from the "cradle of storms" south of the Aleutian islands to the plateau regions west of Denver, prostrating wire communications and crippling train service. Assurances that Japan and the United States have no vital mutual problems that conflict or any that are serious which cannot be adjusted by better understandings and a desire to be fair were given in San Francisco by Masunao Hanihara, Japan's ambassador to the United States, and by Charles B. Warren, United States ambassador to Japan. Firing without warning, two bandits in Los Angeles shot and killed Sam McGee, negro chauffeur, held up and armed automobile of the First National Bank, in charge of O. L. Callan, bank guard, and W. Blizzard, head of the bank's mailing department, and escaped with a suitcase containing registered mail, the value of which was estimated at $100,000. WASHINGTON Predleting that the United States in the future would begin to export gold, Comptroller of the Currency Crissinger in his annual report declared this would represent a long step in the restoration of world economic equilibrium. The American foreign policy was raked over the coals in satirical vein at the midwinter dinner of the Gridrion Club of Washington newspaper correspondents. Several hundred guests, among them authors, artists and cartoonists, mingled with statesmen, diplomats and leaders of finance and industry enjoying the fun. The British debt framing bill unexpectedly was given a clear field in the Senate, and the administration shipping bill was formally sidetracked, temporarily, and possibly permanently. The shipping bill was voted aside as the result of a parliamentary situation, which developed suddenly, and Democratic opposition to the measure. Charles Beecher Warren is quitting as United States ambassador to Japan because he has accomplished the purpose for which he was sent to Tokio, he declared on his arrival in San Francisco, on his way to Washington. Administration leaders in all branches of the government have expressed confidence that speedy and favorable action would be taken by Congress on the British debt funding settlement once it is submitted by the President. While it was generally admitted that opposition to the plan would develop considerable strength, administration spokesmen argued that a free discussion of the plan would win support for it both in Congress and throughout the country. The Norris amendment to the federal constitution eliminating the present session of an old Congress after election of a new Congress and changing the date of inauguration of President from March 4 to the third Monday in January has been approved by the Senate. The resolution embodying the amendment was adopted after brief debate and by a vote of 63 to 6. It now goes to the House, with approval there before adjournment of Congress regarded as problematical. Another effort to have Congress provide funds for the distribution of free seeds by its members failed, the House agricultural committee on a tie vote refusing to report out a bill by Representative Langley, Republican, Kentucky, proposing an annual seed appropriation of $500,000. The application of the Southern Pacific Company to retain its present control of the Central Pacific railroad by ownership of its stock and lease of its lines was granted in full, by a decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission.

Rifle.—That bad booze was responsible for the gun duel near Rifle in which Edward Brunes was killed and Bert Taylor wounded, was the verdict of a coroner's jury. First dispatches of the affray stated that Taylor and Brunes engaged in a pistol duel after the former had been fired upon. The shooting occurred in the cabin of Ed Bois on Corral creek. Denver.—Thriving under favorable conditions not found outside the state, Colorado's bee industry now produces between 5,000,000 and 6,000,000 pounds of honey yearly from about 125,000 colonies of bees. An unusually dry climate help the bee in keeping down the moisture content in his honey, and the specific gravity is therefore considerably higher than in foreign honeys. Greeley.—An investigation of the cost of growing sugar beets, expected to take many months, was launched here by the Mountain States Beet Growers' Association, with United States Tariff Commissioner E. P. Costigan, formerly of Denver, in the role of official observer. Canon City.—Four mountain lions bagged in one week is the record of Dave L.

CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS Denver.—The condition of cattle on the ranches and ranges of Colorado on Feb. 1 shows further improvement, being reported as 96 per cent of normal on Feb. 1, compared with 92 per cent on Jan. 1, and 89 per cent on Dec. 1, according to the report just issued by W. W. Putnam, agricultural statistician of the United States division of crop and live stock estimates. This improvement is largely because nearly all cattle are now being fed and that the mild open winter is resulting in few losses. The condition of sheep also shows further improvement, being reported as 98 per cent of normal on Feb. 1. Denver.—Chambers of Commerce, commercial organizations, traffic clubs and express shippers of Colorado have been asked to send representatives to Denver for a conference March 5 on express rates, the invitations having been malled out by the State Public Utilities Commission.

Greeley.—That failure to include physical education in a course for school teachers is largely responsible for low health standards and physical imperfections in the students entering the university, as pointed out by Miss Clare Small, director of physical education for women at Colorado University, is the opinion of the members of the physical education department at Colorado's teacher training institution, State Teachers' College, at Greeley. Pueblo. Governor Sweet and members of the Twenty-fourth General Assembly were guests of the Pueblo Commerce Club. Members of the Assembly, Pueblo business men and the county clerks and county commissioners of eleven counties who were here attending the Arkansas Valley Association of County Commissioners meeting inspected the Colorado hospital for the insane and state fair grounds. Denver. Record prices were brought by registered mountain Herefords in the local livestock market at the auction sale of Johnson Bros. of Eagle, Colo. More than 150 cows, calves and bulls were disposed of. The show herd which took prizes at the National Western Stock Show in January was placed on the block. Golden.—The board of commissioners of Jefferson county dealt a blow to roadhouses in this community when it turned down a second application for a license at the so-called Pete's place on the Denver-Arvada cement road at Perrin, adjoining Lakeside park, for permission to operate a soft drink and dancing place.

The latest attack on the bank was frustrated at the inner vault doors, which apparently resisted the assaults of the would-be bank robbers.

People Want Some Months Undisturbed by Legislative Uncertainties Farming Interests Perhaps Not Quite Satisfied. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington. At this writing nothing apparently is looming which demands an extra session of congress. Curiously enough, perhaps, today the senators and the representatives who at the outset of the session seemed determined to force an extra session if such a thing were possible, are now to all appearances as glad of the promised freedom from legislative thraldom for a time as are any of the original opponents of the extraordinary session project. It is always possible, of course, that something may happen overnight to change the whole trend of legislative events, and to make probable what hitherto seemingly was improbable. Therefore let it be said that now it looks as if there will be a long vacation ahead for the representatives and the senators, but if untoward things shall happen the advance word that they might happen will stand as an excuse for what otherwise might seem to be a case of faulty prophecy. What is it that has changed the desire of some of the members of congress for an extra session into a willingness that none shall be called? A good many reasons have been advanced, but probably the basic reason is that the strenuous endeavors for this thing or that thing by virtually every member of the present congress seem to have tired them out and made them willing for physical reasons to take a rest. Sense the Country's Desire. There is another reason, however, which in a way is similar to the one just given and yet it is different. There seems to be a feeling in the house and senate today that the country is tired of congress. It is not meant by this that the communities of the country, according to their varying viewpoints upon legislative matters, are tired of the efforts which men in congress are exerting to secure specific kinds of legislation, but simply that congress feels that the people of the country generally would like to get release from the uncertainties of legislative activities, and would welcome the opportunity to get back to work undisturbed by economic or financial theorizing for eight months or so. There was a fear on the part of some of the members of congress at the outset of the session that a drive was to be made in behalf of ship subsidy legislation to the exclusion of all other matters of public moment. It is true, probably, that the leaders of the majority party in the two houses of congress could have prevented consideration of anything at the present short session except ship subsidy and the appropriation bills, but even if any of them felt so inclined they believed that to follow such a course would be bad politics, if not bad economics. A great deal has been said publicly about the victory which certain elements in the Republican party in congress galanced over the leadership of the majority when the virtual slidetracking of ship subsidy was secured and bills for the economic relief of agriculture were given the right-of-way. Of course in a sense the pleaders for first consideration for agricultural credits and the like won a victory, but it was a victory over a force which was willing to yield victory in advance. Farm Bloc May Not Be Satisfied. Some men here say that the men who are working for laws which will give relief to agriculture are not entirely satisfied with the form which the legislation is taking, and hold that it was prevented from taking the form they wished because of opposition from the majority leadership. Whether the farming interests will be entirely satisfied with such legislation as it is to get at the present session of congress is much to be doubted, but it seems to be true that some of the farming interest exponents in congress are fairly well pleased with what it is doing and what is yet to be done. Certain it is that the so-called conservatives in the senate and house yielded much more to the arguments of those who sought relief for agriculture than it was believed at first they could be made to yield. Agriculture has gained a little or has gained much according to the viewpoint, but it has gained more than was thought possible at the beginning of things, and so it is possible that things may prove fairly acceptable. Archives Building Approved. Archives Building Approved. Priceless documents of the rarest historic value, the property of the United States and its people, possibly may be saved from the danger of fire and theft by action of congress prior to adjournment. The senate has approved an amendment to ar appropriation bill which will set aside $2,500,000 for the erection of a fireproof national archives building on a square of ground belonging to the government, lying virtually due north of the Lincoln memo- rial, and removed from the memorial only by a distance great enough so that the new structure will in no way interfere with the general vistas of the Washington Mall. For a great many years various organizations of the country, scholars, research men, and persons patriotically inclined, have been urging congress to take means to preserve for all time the historic papers which Uncle Sam owns. These papers are invaluable for research purposes, to say nothing of their sentimental value. Some of these archives have escaped damage by fire on several occasions only by the prompt action of government employees and the fire department. Congress always has recognized the danger to the documents and always has been ready to say they should be saved. While money in the past was generally forthcoming for other structures less important from a historic and sentimental point of view, the plga of economy has prevented action to save these priceless records of the past. All Archives In One Building. Every winter students, men who intend to write articles or exhaustive histories, come to Washington to consult the records. They are compelled to go hither and yon to find what they want. Some things are in the Congressional library, others in the War department, others in the library of the Navy department and others in this department and that department. The plan is, if the archives building measure shall pass, to gather all the archives together and to place them in the new building where they will be catalogued and made accessible under proper conditions to the seeker after information—and all this in absolutely fireproof surroundings. It may be that the original copy of the Declaration of Independence, which is accounted the most valuable of all the government's paper or parchment possessions, will be kept where it is today, in a corner of a vault in the State, War and Navy building. It is said that the Declaration will be safe where it is now even if the building in which the vault is located should be destroyed by fire. Whatever is done with the Declaration, it is certain that all the other records and archives, except the modern ones in almost daily use, will be moved to the new building. The Declaration of Independence is shown only on the rarest of occasions. Light affects ink, and it is said there are evidences of fading. A facsimile of the Declaration is on public view almost constantly. Within the keeping of the government are letters, orders, and communications of various kinds concerning all the wars and greater peace activities in which the government has been engaged. There are documents of Colonial times, of Revolutionary war times, of early days of the established republic, of the times of the Seminole the Mexican, the Civil, the Spanish and the World wars. The autographs attached to these letters if placed at public auction would bring a fairly staggering sum of money. The government looks at these documents not only from the cash value viewpoint but from that of the historic and sentimental. Weeks Resents Insult to Harbord. The statement of Secretary of War Weeks to the effect that congress has offered an insult to Major General Harbord, to the government and to the United States by recent legislative action, has aroused considerable feeling in Washington, the preponderance of which, at least seemingly, is charged with sympathy tor what the secretary had to say. The house of representatives amended the army appropriation bill in such a way as to deny retirement pay to Maj. Gen. James G. Harbord, who upon leaving the active service after 40 years of labor therein, became president of the Radio Corporation of America. The reason that the house took this action was because General Harborb is to draw some pay from the company for his work, and members of the house said that some time the corporation might have dealings with the government, and therefore the intimation was that the general might use his personal influence with the government authorities to secure some privileges for the corporation. General Harbord commanded the second division of the American troops in one of the most brilliant campaigns in the war. Later he served as the director of the service of supplies in France, a service upon which the armies depended for everything which was necessary for operations, food munitions, and all the things that life between. His record is what some one has called a monumental one. This is perhaps beside the mark in connection with what has been done or is likely to be done unless the senate or the President shall intervene. To say that General Harbord, because he is on the retired list of the army, might use his influence in some particular way to seek favors for the company for which he is working, is to say that mentally at least he is dishonest, and perhaps it would go even further than this in suggestion. Bits From an English Play. "I might be induced to marry again if I could find a man to induce me." "I think marrying again is such a nice compliment to one's first husband."

STATE CAPITOL NEWS LETTER STATE CAPITOL NEWS LETTER A measure passed on second reading appropriates $5,000 for the payment of expenses in the negotiation of interstate river compacts. A bill raising the salary of the secretary of the adult blind fund from $300 to $900 a year was passed on final reading by the House. Senator John J. Tobin, Democrat, of Montrose, asserted that unless some relief came to the farmers that 90 per cent of Colorado farmers would be broke. Senate Bill No. 1, by Senator Eaton, making slight changes in the industrial law, was passed by the House on final reading, four Democrats voting against the measure. S. B. 63, by Toll, providing for a deputy public trustee, and S. B. 130, by Knauss, providing for collections of judgments against a deceased person, passed on second reading. A raise of from $10 to $12 a week as a maximum to be received from the workmen's compensation fund was granted by a bill that passed the House on final reading. Members of the Legislature visited Pueblo as guests of the Chamber of Commerce of that city. While there they inspected the state hospital for the insane and the state fair grounds. The Senate passed S. B. 365, by Burke, that would allow the state land commissioners to make an exchange of eighty acres in southern Baca county to replace land privately owned that a resurvey showed belonged to the state. This week will probably see the ratification of the Colorado and La Plata river water compacts, negotiated on behalf of Colorado by Delph E. Carpenter. Unless there is a sudden change in sentiment, the ratification will be by overwhelming majorities in both Senate and House. Opposition to the treaty has disappeared. By a vote of 38 to 16, the House killed a measure that would allow for an appeal to the District Court of decisions made by the State Board of Medical Examiners. Representative R. W. Calkins of Montezuma county said that if the bill passed, it would be impossible to keep undesirable physicians and surgeons out of the state. The State Board of Pardons will be the first board abolished by the Twenty-fourth General Assembly of Colorado unless unforeseen circumstances delay the bill providing for putting it out of existence. The State House of Representatives passed on second reading the measure by Senator Harry G. Saunders of Denver, providing for such abolishment, and the bill already has been passed by the State Senate. The resolution calling upon the governor to investigate car shortage conditions was passed unanimously by the House of Representatives when it came up on final reading. The resolution now goes to the Senate for action and it leaves members of that body in a predicament. Last week a similar resolution was completely changed by them and the governor was left out and the public utility and interstate commerce commissions substituted. The Senate in committee passed S. B. 272, by Eaton, on second reading. This is to correct H. B. 2, that did away, presumably, with all free automobile licenses. When the House bill reached the governor it was found that section 1 of the old law had not been amended and the words allowing motor vehicles "used solely on official business by federal, state, county or municipal officers" had been left in the bill. This exempted these officials from paying any tax. The bill enabling the state treasurer to issue the $6,000,000 bond issue for good roads voted by the people at the last election, was passed on final reading by the State House of Representatives. Ten Democrats voted against the bill. Those voting against the measure protested against the clause in the measure which allowed the levying of a tax to pay the bonds and interest. After being called upon by a committee of three, the Rev. J. R. Rader, chaplain of the House, appeared before the House and re-read his prayer of the previous morning and pointed out that no reference to Colorado courts was made. After being closedet with the special committee the Rev. Mr. Rader asked permission to make a few remarks. He then told the members that the position of chaplain was very trying as he had to think of a new prayer every morning. "I did not refer to officials of Colorado in my prayer," he said. "I did not say 'our courts are corrupt,' but that 'many of our courts are corrupt.' I didn't say God had been excluded from the churches, but said 'from many of our churches.'" - Legislation pending in the Colorado Assembly which would establish a marketing bureau and make possible co-operative marketing organizations among Colorado farmers is assured of passage, John J. Tobin, senator from the western slope, said before the weekly luncheon meeting of the members council of the Civic and Commercial Association. A bill allowing district attorneys to draw money received for expenses monthly instead of annually was passed by the House on second reading. TERRIFIC STORM ON WEST COAST 8. O. S. CALLS FILL AIR FROM VESSELS THAT ARE IN DISTRESS. FOUR SHIPS WRECKED FURIOUS GALES ON PACIFIC OCEAN TAKE TOLL OF LIVES. Seattle, Wash.—The North Pacific's "graveyard of ships" claimed three more vessels as victims in a furious gale that swept the ocean off the Washington and British Columbia coast lines. The last word wirelessed from the fourth, the steamer Tuscan Prince, with a crew of forty-two aboard, was; "We are breaking up." The vessels known to be lost were the steamer Nika, burned to the water's edge, near Umatilla reef; the freighter Santa Rita, lodged on a rock lodge near Ole Oose, Vancouver is and, British Columbia; the motorship Coolcha, pounded by huge waves as she lay on an exposed reef at Albert head, near Victoria, B. C. The crews of the three ships were saved. Earlier reports that the steamer Tuscan Prince had gone aground and that her crew of forty-two had landed safely were set at naught by a wireless message from the coast guard cutter Algonquin indicating that the fate and even the whereabouts of the vessel were a mystery. The last heard from the ship direct was a dramatic message, broken off in the middle, which said: "We are breaking up." Word by word, the message often halted or broken, the wireless brought the story of the storm's toll into Seattle during the night and day. First came word from the coast guard cutter Snobomish, Capt. R. R. Waesche: "We are going to aid steamer Nika, reported, lost rudder, dangerous position off Umatilla reef." The Snohomish was at Port Angeles, eight hours' run from the disabled vessel. A little later another message, from Victoria, said the Coolcha had been abandoned and her crew taken off by the salvage steamer Algerine. Later the Santa Rita broke into the aerial conversation. "We will be there at 4 o'clock," said the Santa Rita's key. An hour later and the Santa Rita had struck a Vancouver island ledge and was herself calling for help. Commercial messages filled the air again, and then came the Snohomish: "Rescued total crew of thirty-four men from burning Nika. Now standing by wreck. Will give obstruction report later." Ships on Atlantic Send S. O. S. New York.-Out of the fury of the storm-swept Atlantic came wireless calls for aid from two sinking vessels and news of the disabling of several others. The Italian freighter Moncenisce, from Norfolk, Va., to Marselles, with a crew of thirty, sent out frantic appeals for help. "We are sinking," said the Moncenisce radio giving the vessel's position as about 510 miles east of Cape Henry, Va. A later message said she was being washed by heavy seas. Machine Guns Placed in Essen. Dusseldorf.—A company of French infantry with machine guns occupied the Essen city hall simultaneously with the declaration of a twenty-four-hour general strike against the recent arrests. The street car and electrical plants continue to function. Trouble is again brewing at Gelsenkirchen, where feeling is running high against the occupying forces. A French officer was attacked in the street and beaten by a mob, but was finally rescued. The French made several arrests. Packing Plant Fire Under Control. Omaha, Neb.-The fire at the plant of Armour and Company, South Omaha, which caused a loss estimated near $2,000,000 and which threw more than a thousand men out of work, was declared to be under control after a forty-two-hour fight. Collapse of the ice-covered nine-story walls of the gutted buildings spelled the doom of the fire. With the walls down firemen were able to throw huge streams of water into the center of the blaze. Dancer's Suit Is Dropped. Los Angeles.—The $200,000 suit brought against Herbert Rawlinson, motion picture actor, by Mrs. Ethel E. Clark on behalf of her daughter, Dorothy Clark, professional dancer, has been settled out of court, according to Mrs. Clark. "There will be no trial of the case," she announced here. "Mr. Rawlinson has made a settlement on my daughter." This settlement, she explained, would secure the dancer, now 17, $50 a week until she reaches the age of 21. ```markdown ``` THE COLORADO STATESMAN [M] the Mouth-Piece the People of Colorado and the Entire West RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and gress; a faithful mirror their wants, their hopes, ir best aspiration.

Co-operation is one of the keynotes of the Civic Association, and whenever members, whether official or otherwise, take unto themselves the right of conducting the affairs of the Association and arriving at conclusions and actions detrimental to its cause, the whole Association suffers. We think we are correct in stating that it was agreed by the Executive Board of the Civic Association that nothing should be offered the press for publication until the committee appointed from the Association should have met in conference with the Education Board and a settlement brought about; but it is clear that somebody anxious to get into print, fearing that they might have lost the honor and credit for giving publicity to a little racial feeling between high school pupils, thought it wise to stir public opinion and cause unsavory comment. We advise against any recurrence and would suggest that the president of the Colored Civic Association place a little more confidence in his associates, thereby securing their ready help, which will eventually save him from such unfortunate incidents and thwart the attempt of individuals to destroy our work. CIVIC PRIDE. He was one among the merry banquet of the Denver College of Commerce building Monday of such a public-spirited, united Denver Colored Civic Association human agencies seldom do. Have it so or not. But it is for contributing untold volumes the association has already acco progressed farther is due solely hundred organizations, it is the on the outside and grumbles if it maintains an even ten. As it will be certain to grow it is an affiliated body of the institution is a valuable asset and but too much reliance must it is. God helps those who lift the American white man is mighty in this regard. The God institution with the Denver-lifting to hear the president's progressive Negroes had the right brand of civic prideber next year. WE doubt if there was one among the merry throng that attended the Lincoln Day banquet of the Denver Colored Civic Association at the Chamber of Commerce building Monday night but who visualized the real need of such a public-spirited, unselfish organization to the community. The Denver Colored Civic Association may not as yet approach perfection. Human agencies seldom do. Inaccuracies will creep in whether we would have it so or not. But it is founded upon right principles and is capable of contributing untold volumes of good to the Negro welfare of this city. The association has already accomplished many things and that it has not progressed farther is due solely to its limited membership. Like many kindred organizations, it is the victim of the chronic fault-finder, who stays on the outside and grumbles about the things that should be done. But if it maintains an even tenor and steers clear of easily discernible pitfalls it will be certain to grow in strength and influence. The fact that it is an affiliated body of the powerful Denver Civic and Commercial Association is a valuable asset and means much to its present importance. But too much reliance must not be placed upon this affiliation, valuable as it is. God helps those who help themselves, and it is our observation that the American white man is not constituted vastly different from the Almighty in this regard. The Lincoln Day banquet has now become a fixed institution with the Denver Colored Civic Association, and it was soul-lifting to hear the president announce on Monday night that 150 of Denver's progressive Negroes had enrolled as members. A proper exercise of the right brand of civic pride should enable him to report twice that number next year. THIRTEEN STATES. or colonies we believe they most conspicuous and formative history of these United States song springs from the tree planted by the colonists without lessons taught by the Example and precept are goradoans, Denverites to be loved the state's early history valleys fertile through myrmers, strangers as it were, taught by "thirteen states." A strange connection of number Hill Improvement Association associations are bent upon "crow" laws in Denver pattern states of the South. That the purpose, we quote as follows THE thirteen states, or colonies we believe they called them in those days, played a most conspicuous and formative influence upon the early and subsequent history of these United States. Much that we now cherish in legend and song springs from the tap root of the tree of liberty and independence planted by the colonists of old. American history means nothing without lessons taught by the patriotism of the thirteen original colonies. Example and precept are gained from them. But it has been left to Coloradoans, Denverites to be more specific; not the hardy pioneers who carved the state's early history from rugged mountain side and made the valleys fertile through myriad silvery irrigation streams, but the newcomers, strangers as it were, to find an entirely new use for the examples taught by "thirteen states." In a morning paper of February 13 (note the strange connection of numbers) we are told that members of the Capitol Hill Improvement Association and visiting members from other similar associations are bent upon bringing about segregation and other "jim crow" laws in Denver patterned after similar laws in force in "thirteen" states of the South. That there may be no mistake as to their declared purpose, we quote as follows: "Segregation Is Needed. speakers at last night's meeting of the South. These laws, that with Negro schools the education unhampered by any in small part of the Negro pop said, because social equality of Negro population of Colorado objection was formed was pointed ar to those in effect in the Hill Association and visiting "Segregation laws, speakers at last night's meeting declared, were in effect in thirteen states of the South. These laws, they said, were more fair to the Negro, in that with Negro schools the children felt at liberty to complete their education unhampered by any interference from white children. Only a very small part of the Negro population complete their course of study, it was said, because social equality does not exist for them in the public schools. "The increased Negro population of Colorado over that at the time when the state constitution was formed was pointed to and the feasibility of enacting laws similar to those in effect in the South was discussed. Members of the Capitol Hill Association and visiting members from Park Hill and other districts of the city declared that it was the purpose of the committees to bring the matter before the present legislature for a resolution. It is planned, they said, to bring it before the people at the next state election, in 1924. "In view of the increased Negro population of Colorado and especially in Denver, leaders of the movement declared last night that it is their intention of procuring legislative steps patterned after the 'jim crow' laws of the states of the South." The above may be far easier of conjecture than fulfillment. Let no one suppose for a moment that the Negro citizens of Colorado will sit supinely by and witness their rights thus ruthlessly taken from them. The prime movers in this matter find convenient consolation in a Supreme Court decision from Mississippi in which the rights of a state to enact 'jim crow' legislation is upheld. No human being possessing anything like a nodicum of sanity would expect a decision of any other character from Mississippi or from any one of the "thirteen" states now looked to as a haven. But Colorado is a much different battle ground. Happily, the Supreme Court of this state is made of sterner and better stuff. Racial conditions in Colorado are far from ideal. We are confronted with many handicaps and obstacles that are daily becoming more monumental. The framers of the constitution in 1876 did not look to any one of the "thirteen" states—just fairly merging from a state of rebellion against the established government—for its model, nor is it at all likely that a Supreme Court will take its model from a Southern court decision at this time. To say that the framers of the constitution did not anticipate an increased Negro population is a species of veritable rot that can be met with the counter-argument that they did not at all anticipate an increased population of Negro hating, race prejudiced southerners. On the contrary, it is fairly reasonable to presume that they did anticipate that very thing, hence the constitution and strong civil rights bill. Denver is a growing city and gives promise of even greater prosperity and growth. But if it looks to a future worthy of endurance, its growth and greatness will have to be premised upon something more secure than bitter race prejudice. It is written that "righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." Child Labor Cannot Be Consistent With American System of Education By SENATOR MEDILL M'CORMICK of Illinois. consistent with a system of education, free, universal, and compulsory. Obviously a child denied play and forbidden school is refused that physical development and opportunity for learning so important to its citizenship in a democracy. Certainly the nation has an interest in the matter of citizenship. Child labor injures not only the individual child, but also it injures society at large. It appears that the only formidable opponents of action by congress are those who ably hold that the national government is now powerless to forbid child labor, and further that under our federal system it ought not by constitutional amendment be vested with such powers. But it will be remembered that the Supreme court's decisions have been by narrow margins. The first decision was handed down by a majority of 5 to 4, the majority holding that the federal act of 1916 invaded the rights of the states. Since the toleration of child labor by any group of states establishes unrighteous competition with the industries of states which more effectively prevent the labor of little children, we know that such competition tends to delay or thwart advanced legislation by the states. The country has become an economic unit; production in one state is affected by costs and conditions of production in another state. The country is becoming increasingly a social and political unit. Its citizens everywhere must suffer from a continuing injury to its citizens in any part of the union. In Character Analysis There Is No Substitute for Long Acquaintance By PROF. F. A. KINGSBURY, University of Chicago. As yet there has not been developed a sufficiently reliable system for character analysis. There is no substitute for long acquaintance. So be just a little bit doubtful about those pet systems—character reading by palms, bumps, handwriting, photographs, letters and short interviews. They may work out in some instances, but they cannot be used as standard, reliable ways of analyzing character. So far, scientific laboratories, business establishments and others have failed to produce a reliable standardized scale for character reading. Of course older persons can be judged somewhat by the stamp of vice or good character on their face, but it is of younger persons we are talking, and the relationship of character to short cut reading such as bumps and features and handwriting. Environment, influence of friends and family, and change of circumstance will often change a person's character, and it does not necessarily change any of his features, or make a bump or two less. It is only after prolonged acquaintance that we are capable of judging the character of our associates or friends. From No Viewpoint Can Co-operative Marketing Be Considered Socialistic By ALVIN T. STEINEL, Colorado Agricultural College. The history of the co-operative movement in Europe indicates that it came of necessity and force of circumstances, and that is the reason for its present growth in America. What far-sighted leaders of agricultural thought in this country are doing now is to capitalize sentiment while the farmer is in a mood to act and before prosperity again makes him as independent as a rooster on the fence at sunrise. Herbert Hoover declared that the development of co-operative marketing was of value to business in general, in that it helped to stabilize farm commodities. "From no viewpoint can co-operative marketing be considered socialistic," said Mr. Hoover, "because it is based upon self-interest of the individual grower. Co-operative marketing is a form of organized capital with the producers providing their own capital. They also will have to develop their own personnel and system. It holds out the greatest hope for the American farmer to organize himself on an equality with other industries." The problem is bigger than any industry or party, or class or group. It affects all the people and it deserves careful study by every citizen, be he producer, consumer or middleman. Tests for Car-Driving Ability Should Be Varied According to Tasks By DR. RAYMOND DODGE, Wesleyan University. Slow and uncertain or wavering actions are undoubtedly the occasion of many automobile accidents. This slowness is in part due to lack of practice and training and in part due to the natural tendencies of the individual. Both of these factors can be made matters of test. Tests for car-driving ability should be varied according to the sort of tasks which the drivers are called upon to perform. Tests for drivers of light pleasure vehicles might be very different from tests for drivers of fast ambulances and fire appliances, and they in turn might be quite different from tests for drivers of heavy motor trucks. High-powered fast machines obviously should not be entrusted to poor or relatively untrained chauffeurs. A specific form of test for various types of machines is good common sense and good science. It is notorious that tests for drivers in one community are entirely different from tests in other communities. Licenses from different localities are quite incomparable in value. It is obvious that the same ability to drive is not required on a country road as in the city, but if the farmer is to drive into town, he must be able to handle his machine under city traffic conditions or else not be allowed to come in. Standard tests would help remedy this situation. PETER H. BURTON Figures available indicate that as a result of last May's decision of the Supreme court invalidating the child labor act, the number of children employees in industry has already increased 20 to 30 per cent. Unless congress be empowered by constitutional amendment to act, plainly, matters will grow worse. We have no recourse but to amend the Constitution for the sake of the children who otherwise will be driven into the mills of the country to their own injury. Child labor, it is obvious, cannot be accepted as COAL YOU NEED COAL PUBLIC TRUSTEE'S SALE. 2276 Whereas, William Anderson, by deed of trust, dated the 4th day of October, 1921, which is recorded in book 3495, page 155, of the records in the office of the Clerk and Records of the City of Colorado, duly conveyed to the Public Trustee in and for the City and County of Denver, Colorado, the following described real estate in the City and County of Denver by the Hunt's Addition; which deed of trust was made to secure the payment of one promissory note of even date with said deed of trust, for the sum three hundred ($300.00) dollars, six months after the date thereof, with interest thereon at 10 per cent per annum until paid, interest payable monthly, as is more particularly set forth in said deed of trust, reference which thereby made for greater certainty; and Whereas, The said William Anderson, and all persons claiming by, through or under him, having defaulted in the case of the debt, have paid the interest thereon from date of note, and also in payment of $17.84 premium on fire insurance policy, and $20.00 interest paid on prior lien, and the legal holder of said note, having elected on note unpaid, and the same said note unpaid, due and payable.

I could have sewed you the express, and besides you would have been patronizing a home store, which helps pay the taxes and builds up this locality."

ELIZABETH BRANFORD BE LOVED PIONEER PASSES AWAY The death angel continues to visit the homes of Denver's pioneer citizens and on Monday morning Mrs. Elizabeth Branford, one of our oldest and most beloved residents passed away after a brief illness with pneumonia. The Branford family came to Denver in 1873 and were always prominent in church, fraternal and club work. Mrs. Branford was one of Shorter's most beloved members and her death following so close upon that of Mrs. Wims, leaves two vacant seats among the faithful that can never be refilled. Funeral services were held from Shorter, Thursday afternoon, Rev. I. S. Wilson officiating. A profusion of beautiful floral tributes attested the love and esteem in which she was held by all who knew her. She leaves a daughter, Mrs. Corinne O'Bryant, a son-in-law and two sisters, besides a host of friends to mourn her loss. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The hearts of all the friends of the Y. M. C. A. must have leaped with joy as they read the article in the Rocky Mountain News of last Wednesday morning which told the good news concerning the prospective new Y. M. C. A. building. For after all the weary years of watching and waiting, and criticism and disappointment, and new hopes and much prayer, we are at last to have a "Y" building in the city of Denver! For we feel sure that the splendid gife of $5,000 conditionally made by Mr. Johnson will be readily taken up and met by our people. They will have this opportunity within a few weeks, for the movement is to be taken up at once. The program last Sunday afternoon was rendered by the members of the American Legion, with Mr. Franklin in charge. The meeting was held at the Scott M. E. Church, and was well attended despite the inclement weather. The meeting tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon is expected to be a record-breaking one, for we are scheduled to have as speaker the Rev. Ralph M. Gilbert, field secretary of the Negro Baptist Educational Society. Mr. Gilbert is the young man who captured the people of Denver on his visit here six weeks ago. The meeting will begin at 4 o'clock. Everybody is invited to come and hear this brilliant young man. C. M. E. CHURCH NOTES. Reverend C. E. Chapman, Minister.

We desire to thank our many friends and neighbors for their kindness and sympathy, also for the beautiful floral offerings, in the recent death of our beloved wife and friend. Louis Callahan, Walter H. Pritchette, Mrs. Walter H. Pritchette, Helen Pritchette, AN EXPLANATION. Denver, Colo., Feb. 14, 1923. To the COALORADO STATESMAN: To the COLORADO STATESMAN: I hand you herewith a statement over my signature, which I trust you will kindly publish. As president of the Denver Colored Civic Association, with full authority to speak for and represent the said association, I wish to state that the article which appeared in the Denver Post of the issue of Feb. 13th inst. relative to the stand taken by the Denver Colored Civic Association at their Fourth Annual Lincoln-Douglass Banquet on Monday evening, Feb. 12, at the Chamber of Commerce auditorium concerning the recent high school prom affair was a false misrepresentation. The association did not take any stand in the matter at their banquet whatever. Nor did they choose Victor Walker to speak for them or represent them upon any question or matter whatsoever at the banquet, or at any other time and place. The association should not be held responsible for any statement made by any individual who attempts to presume upon the public or the association. The regularly prepared and printed program of our banquet was carried out to the letter and no discussion, debate, or action of any kind was taken by the association at the banquet relative to the subject mentioned in the article. Victor Walker was not on the regular program. And again, as president of the Denver Colored Civic Association, I desire to state emphatically that Victor Walker is not an officer of the association, and did not have authority to give an interview to the Denver Post as representing the Denver Colored Civic Association upon any subject or matter pertaining to the public at any time or in any manner. We sincerely trust hereafter that the Denver Post, and all other papers, will refrain from giving unauthorized and hurtful interviews from individuals who do not represent the Denver Colored Civic Association. Respectfully, THOS. CAMPBELL. President. WOODLAND, CALIF., NEWS. The Second Baptist Church closed on Sunday, Feb. 4, a very successful revival meeting with four additions to the church, three by baptism and one by Christian experience. Rev. Dr. J. P. Hubard of the Beth Eden Baptist Church, Oakland, Calif., preached one week and got things fired up in pretty good shape, and as he was unable to stay any longer. Pastor Muse did the preaching for another week and took in the four mentioned above. The Reverend, with the heads of the various auxiliaries of the church, has put on a program this week known as Church Congress. A different auxiliary will have charge of the program each night. But at the back of this, on Sunday past, Feb. 11, Rev. Muse offered his resignation as the pastor of the above named church to take effect March 1, 1923, which was indeed a shock to the church, notwithstanding that they were aware of the fact that he was in receipt of a unanimous call to the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, Berkeley, Calif., extended to Jim Jan. 5. Berkeley, of course, is a much larger field than Woodland, and many more people to work with. Rev. and Mrs. Muse, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, have done great work since coming to Woodland a little over three years ago, and really the church regrets to have to depart from them.

Many of our people went and enjoyed the singing and music, Sunday, the 11th, at 2 o'clock. Mrs. Elliott of Denver was a Boulder visitor Sunday. She came up on the 12:30 and went back on the 5:30. Mrs. Elliott came up to conduct a service at 3 o'clock at the former Pentecostal Mission. Six held up their hands for prayer. Our weekly prayer service is a real spiritual treat. We are still having weekly cottage prayer services. The Cedar Art Club was entertained at the president's home last Thursday, the 8th, and was served with a dainty and tasty luncheon. (Mrs. Mary White, president.) Rev. Brannan was a Boulder visitor Sunday. He preached both morning and evening at the Baptist Church. We were very glad to learn. The Lincoln-Douglass affair held at Allen Chapel Sunday night of the 11th was a success in every way. Members of the race turned out fine and a few of the white race being present. The first number was "America," sung by the choir and audience. Lincoln's well-known Gettysburg address was rendered by Master Muriel Wharton in a creditable manner. Song by the choir, "The Flag." Mayor J. O. Billig spoke on the wonderful life of Abraham Lincoln on the 112th anniversary of that noted man. Mr. Long spoke on his life and death as he had charge of 300 men (who had fought for the same cause), who viewed the remains of "Honest Abe" at Cleveland, Ohio. Miss Sarah Carter played an instrumental solo very prettily. The "prelude" vocal solo by Mr. James Mance. Rev. A. C. Murphy gave an address on "Frederick Douglass," a very instructive and eloquent speech that was well received by a very attentive audience. A jubilee number, "Steal Away," was sung by the choir.

If you do, you will feel lonesome. For the American people haven't forgotten it and are not forgetting it. On the contrary the American people are getting to think more and more of George Washington with every succeeding year. They are trying to get a clearer mental vision of George. For a time George was too great and good and perfect to be true. Now the people are trying to visualize George as a regular fellow. clearer mental vision of George. For a time George was too great and good and perfect to be true. Now the people are trying to visualize George as a regular fellow. For example, William Roscoe Thayer has just brought out "George Washington," intended to be the definite one-volume biography of Washington. Mr. Thayer's purpose as expressed in his preface has been to give a sketch of George Washington's life and acts, which should disclose "the human residue" which he felt sure must persist in Washington's character. "No other great man in history," he says, "has had to live down such a mass of absurdities and deliberate false inventions," including the picture of an imaginary Father of His Country amusing himself with a fictitious cherry tree and hatchet. In short, the author has written his book to help those who complain that they cannot find a flesh and blood man in the George Washington of historians. He expresses the confident hope that those who read this biography will no longer consider George Washington the most illusive of historic personages. Here's the way "Campion" in the Chicago Tribune's "Line o' Type or Two" puts it: For example, William Roscoe Thayer has just brought out "George Washington," intended to be the definite one-volume biography of Washington.

Here's the way "Campion" in the Chicago Tribune's "Line o' Type or Two" puts it: "O Clio! Muse of buried time, What trick is this you play, Who sing to us in prose or'rhyme The hero born today? "Your blazing torch athwart the gloom Lights up our noble dead, Your record snatches from the tomb The lives our heroes led. "You show us Jackson, crude and bold, Impetuous, quick to fight, Sworn foe of caste and graft and gold— I A man, or wrong or right. "You show us Grant in gain and loss, His early waning star. The gold that gleamed amid the dross, Purged by the fires of war. "You show us Lincoln, calm in strife, With homely men and jest, The shambling gait, the kindly life, The freedom of the West. "But when we seek on history's scroll The Father of the free, The name that leads our muster-roll, We ask, "Can this be he?" "We see a demigod of old, Grim, faultless and serene, Olympian grandeur stern and cold, A god from the machine. "Oh lead him down from heights above And set his feet on earth, To show his sons the man they love In weakness and in worth." Photographs reproduced herewith show Arthur Dawson, official portrait painter at the United States Military academy at West Point, and the original Gilbert Stuart bust portrait of George Washington, which he discovered by accident in an unnoticed corner of the Washington and Lee university, Lee Memorial chapel at Lexington, Va., last summer. The portrait is painted on the peculiar "twilled" wood panel used by Stuart and was discovered by Mr. Dawson while looking over the paintings in the chapel. It is estimated by art experts to be worth from $75,000 to $100,000 and is pronounced the finest Stuart in America at the present time. It has been in the Washington and Lee university for many years, but until Mr. Dawson's discovery, its true value was unknown. Records fall to show where the picture came from. The panel measures 25 by 30 inches. Congress has passed a joint resolution as follows: "Whereas, by a joint resolution of the senate and house of representatives, approved March 4, 1844, the sword of George Washington and the staff of Benjamin Franklin were accepted in the name of the nation as gifts from Samuel T.

One is the sword worn by George Washington, first as a colonel in the colonial service of Virginia in Forbes' campaign against the French and Indians, and afterwards during the whole period of the War of Independence as commander in chief of the American army. It is a plain cutleau, or hanger, with a green hilt and silver guard. On the upper ward of the scabbard is engraven "J. Bailey; Fishkill." It is accompanied by a buckskin belt, which is secured by a silver buckle and elap, whereon are engraven the letters "G. W." and the figures "1757." These are all of the plainest workmanship, but substantial and in keeping with the man and with the times to which they belonged. The history of this sword is perfectly authentic, and leaves no shadow of doubt as to its identity. It is a plain cutlean, or hanger, with a green hilt and silver guard. On the upper ward of the scabbard is engraven "J. Bailey; Fishkill." It is accompanied by a buckskin belt, which is secured by a silver buckle and clasp, whereon are engraven the letters "G.

The history of this sword is perfectly authentic, and leaves no shadow of doubt as to its identity. The last will and testament of George Washington, bearing date on the ninth day of February, 1799, contains, among a great variety of bequests, the following clause: "To each of my nephews, William Augustine Washington, George Lewis, George Steploe Washington, Bushrod Washington, and Samuel Washington, I give one of the swords or cutleaux of which I may die possessed; and they are to choose in the order they are named. These swords are accompanied with an injunction not to unsheathe them for the purpose of shedding blood, except it be for self-defense or in defense of their country and its rights; and, in the latter case, to keep them unsheathed and prefer failing with them in their hands to the relinquishment thereof." In the distribution of the swords, hereby devised among the five nephews therein enumerated, the one now presented fell to the lot of Samuel Washington, the devisee last named in the clause of the will which I have just read. This gentleman, who died a few years since, in the county of Kanawha, and who was the father of Samuel T. Washington, the donor, I knew well. I have often seen this sword in his possession, and received from him the following account of the manner in which it became his property, in the division made among the devisees: He said that he knew it to have been the side arm of General Washington during the Revolutionary war—not that used on occasions of parade and review, but the constant service sword of the great chief—that he had himself seen General Washington wear this identical sword—he presumed for the last time—when, in 1794, he reviewed the Virginia and Maryland forces, then concentrated at Cumberland, under the command of Gen. Lee, and destined to co-operate with the Pennsylvania and New Jersey troops, then assembled at Bedford, in suppressing what has been called "the whisky insurrection." General Washington was at that time president of the United States, and, as such, was commander in chief of the army. It is known that it was his intention to lead the army in person on that occasion, had he found it necessary; and he went to Bedford and Cumberland prepared for that event. The condition of things did not require it, and he returned to his civil duties at Philadelphia. Mr. Samuel Washington held the commission of a captain at that time himself, and served in that campaign. He was anxious to obtain this particular sword, and preferred it to all others, among which was the ornamented and costly present from the great Frederick. At the time of the division among the nephews, without intimating what his preference was, he jocosely remarked, "that, inasmuch as he was the only one of them who had participated in military service, they ought to permit him to take choice." This suggestion was met in the same spirit in which it was made; and the choice being awarded him, he chose this, the plainest and intrinsically the least valuable of any, simply because it was "the battle sword." I am also in possession of the most satisfactory evidence, furnished by Col. George Washington of Georgetown, the nearest male relative of General Washington now living, as to the identity of this sword. His information was derived from his father, William Augustine Washington, the devisee first named in the clause of the will which I have read, from his uncle the late Judge Bushrod Washington, of the Supreme court, and Maj. Lawrence Lewis, the acting executor of General Washington's will; all of whom concurred in the statement that the true service sword was that selected by Capt. Samuel Washington. NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON Secretary Hughes to Keep on the Job Grip'll Git Ya' if Y' Don't Watch Out Grip'll Git Ya' if Y' Don't Watch Out Race Between Farmer and Boll Weevil Race Between Farmer and Boll Weevil Oil on the Troubled Political Waters Oil on the Troubled Political Waters I AM NOT GOING TO RESIGN WASHINGTON.—A considerable segment of the Republiccan side of the senate would like to bring President Harding to its own way of thinking—cut loose entirely from any connection with European affairs and following a policy of "splendid isolation." A few members of the group have such a dislike for Mr. Hughes that they are counting on making the drive so determined that Mr. Hughes may see his way to leaving the Harding cabinet. It is they who are responsible for the circulation of a rumor that Mr. Hughes was about to resign. "The story that I intend to resign has not a particle of truth in it," said Secretary Hughes. "I have had no disagreement with the President or Ambassador Harvey. We have the closest and most cordial relations." A WAVE of grip secondary to the influenza epidemic of 1918-19 is sweeping the country, with unpleasant but not widespread fatal results, according to reports to the public health service. Surgeon General Cumming explained that the disease has been most severe in the southern section of the country, although spreading so generally that it has become prevalent in all parts of the United States. Influenza proper, Doctor Cumming said, is not much more in evidence than usual. A modification of it seems to be followed by less pneumonia than in the cases of influenza, but with much prostration. The common name of the wave would be "grip," the surgeon general said, but it could also be called influenza in a milder form. Symptoms at first, it was said, are similar to a severe cold, but they develop frequently into a fever, sometimes rising to high temperatures. When this fever begins, officials of the public health service said, is the time to call the doctor. The first thing to do when a victim feels that his slight cold is developing more serious proportions is to take no chances, officials said, but to go to UNDER the boll weevil conditions, the prime necessity is to mature the largest crop of cotton in the shortest time: It is a race between the farmer and the boll weevil. So the farmer may have every possible advantage in the race, some of the best qualified cotton specialists in the country have collaborated in preparing recommendations which include the following: Select for cotton planting only land capable of producing with the use of a reasonable amount of ferti- OIL, the international trouble maker, may provide the fuel for fires of domestic politics before long. Senator LaFollette, who figured in the battles waged by the insurgents in the middle of the Taft administration, is on the hunt for disclosures that will justify the assertions of his group that the present administration has favored private interests as against public welfare. A reopening of the entire record of the government's negotiations with the Sinclair Oil company with respect to oil leases in the famous Teapot Dome region is in process as a consequence of a senate resolution of inquiry but the testimony being sought by the Wisconsin senator doesn't turn upon the details of the lease itself, but upon certain collateral phases of the deal itself, the purchase and sale of securities which were affected by the making of the lease. President Harding has let it be known that he stands by what Secretary Fall of the Interior department did in making the lease. The view of Mr. Fall has been that he made the best contract possible to get the oil out of Teapot Dome for the benefit of the American navy. Mr. Harding feels the record will prove this and Secre- With the Hughes resignation rumor there was coupled a story that there have been differences lately between President Harding and Mr. Hughes over policies connected with the French occupation of the Ruhr valley. One of the reasons for the present display of hostile feeling toward the secretary of state on the part of certain senators is that he is suspected of having a too kindly sympathy for the principle underlying the League of Nations, not with the league itself, but with international conferences designed to adjust differences between governments and pave the way for permanent peace. The course of the Harding administration in keeping troops on the Rhine, in maintaining an observer with the reparations commission, in sending "official observers" to the Lausanne conference on Near Eastern affairs, in having Ambassador Harvey sit with the allied supreme council and Ambassador Herrick sit with the allied council of ambassadors, and in suggesting informally that a commission of international financiers should undertake to fix the amount of reparations Germany would be able to pay, has not been pleasing to most of the old irreconcilable group in the senate. oed, and stay there until danger of the fever is past. The most outstanding symptom of the wave of grip, Doctor Cumming points out, seems to be the extreme prostration, or feeling of weakness and fatigue. Alarmed at the spread of pneumonia and influenza, Health Commissioner Herman Bundesen of Chicago sounded a warning "to watch your health." He said, "To maintain health a person should sleep eight hours, walk a mile every morning, breathe deeply, break up colds, evaporate one gallon of water every day for each room in the house, bathe daily in hot water, eat a balanced diet and keep the windows open in bedrooms and dress warmly." lizer at least one-half bale on each acre. Plant good seed of an improved early-maturing variety when danger from frost and cold is past. The planting of seed of a single variety, by entire communities and counties, is urged. Rows should be only wide enough to allow proper cultivation. Give early and frequent cultivation and continue until fairly late in the season. Care should be taken, particularly in the later part of the season, to cultivate shallow and not too close to the row. If weevils are numerous when the cotton is beginning to square, destroy all possible adult weevils. It is probable that only at this stage the molasses and calcium arsenate mixture can be used effectively. Since the weevil will hibernate successfully not only in woodland but in any trash or rubbish, it is good practice to burn such situations around the cotton fields during the winter. TEAPOT DOME tary Fall himself has been most anxious that every fact of the negotiations will be made public. He has insisted from the time the subject was first mentioned in the senate that it be probed to the bottom. Ever since the lease was made there have been vague rumors current that various persons who were "on the inside" knew about the making of the Teapot Dome lease and were able to profit accordingly. When Mr. Fall resigned, the President offered him a place on the Supreme court. There was a mark of confidence in itself, but it can be stated positively that the President holds Mr. Fall in such high esteem he would like to have him remain in the cabinet.

POPULAR DRINKS AT DAIRY SHOW Club Girls From Wisconsin High School Put on One of Most Attractive Features. PLEASING WAYS TO USE MILK Captain Explained Clearly Properties of Beverage for Building Food for Bones, Muscle and Teeth —Helps Children. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) A group of club girls from Wauwatosa high school, Milwaukee county, Wisconsin, put on one of the most attractive features of the National Dairy show at St. Paul, according to reports received by the United States Department of Agriculture. These girls were under the direction of the home economics teacher of the Milwaukee county agricultural school, a former home demonstration agent, and their purpose was to show as many as possible of the pleasing ways in which milk may be used as a beverage. The captain of the club gave little talks on the reasons why milk should be used by everybody. She explained clearly its properties as a building food for bones, teeth and muscles; how it provides energy; and why it makes children grow and helps to keep them well. The cost of each drink served was shown at current market rates, and compared with the cost of "pop." The other members WILLIAMS Milk Makes Children Grow and Helps Them to Keep Well. of the club assisted in the talks and in preparation of the drinks. The following milk drinks were prepared by the youthful demonstrators and sold at the booth: Cherry Milk Blossom, consisting of three tablespoonfuls of home-made cherry sirup in a half-pint glass of cold milk. Rural Rooter's Special, half ginger ale, and half milk, with one teaspoonful of sugar to the glass, and crushed macaroons floating on top. Milk Julep, a new name for an old drink sometimes called eggnog—a beaten egg blended with one teaspoonful of sugar and half-pint of milk, flavored with one-fourth teaspoon of vanilla. POULTRY HOUSE P WELL CULL Poultry House 22 by 60, Which Will H Kruse of Clinton County, Iowa, t for It in One Year—Below Is S (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The results obtained by Mrs. F. L. Kruse of Clinton county, Iowa, through poultry culling under the direction of the county extension agent should be an encouragement to anyone who may have hesitated to cull the home flock to get rid of "boarder" hens. In July, 1921, when Mrs. Kruse had 210 hens, she called in the extension agent and with her assistance took out 80 "loafers," which were sold while the price was good. A number of neighbors attended the culling demonstration. The egg production was not cut down after the culling. The --- ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION Chocolate Malted Milk, made by stirring three tablespoonfuls of malted milk into a little water until well mixed, and then adding two tablespoonfuls of home-made chocolate sirup. After the mixture has been beaten a half-pint glass is filled with cold water. Grape Milk Punch is made by combining one gill of condensed milk with three tablespoonfuls of grape juice. After filling a half-pint glass containing this combination three-fourths full of water, it is finished with a little carbonated water, which is not entirely necessary but a great improvement. Raspberry Creme illustrates how powdered milk can be used. To three tablespoonfuls of milk powder, blended with one-fourth cupful of hot water, three tablespoonfuls of raspberry syrup are added, and one-half cupful of cold water. The glass—a half-pint—is filled with carbonated water, and served with chopped nuts on top. All of these drinks are best when served cold. The colder the drink the better it tastes. The drinks may also be served hot in cold weather. Adding a little whipped cream or a spoonful of ice cream is a pleasing variation for any of the drinks. Ordinary milk may be used in the same amounts as the liquid called for in the case of malted, powdered or condensed milk. WAYS FOR UTILIZING SUPERFLUOUS CRUST WAYS FOR UTILIZING SUPERFLUOUS CRUST Left-Over Dough Can Be Made Into Cakes or Cookies. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) In the making of plies a small portion of dough, insufficient for another ple, is frequently left over. This may be utilized in various ways. The following are recommended by household specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture: Pastry Crisps. The dough may be simply rolled thin, cut into squares, sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon, and baked until crisp. These do well to serve with sauce or other desert, and are more economical of time and money than are most cookies or cake. Roly-Poly. Roll pastry until one-fourth inch in thickness, cover with dried currants or with blackberries, raspberries or blueberries well sweetened, sprinkle with flour, and then roll like a jelly roll. Bake in a moderately hot oven until well done. Serve with liquid sance. Cheese Straws. Roll pastry thin, cover with grated cheese or with a highly seasoned soft cheese; fold into thirds and roll again into a thin, long sheet; cut into narrow strips and bake in a hot oven until delicately browned. These are good to serve with salads. METHODS OF HOME DAIRYING Farm Women Are Reported as Having Made 3,300,000 Pounds of Butter During War. As a result of 12,000 demonstrations in improved methods of home dairying given by extension agents, farm women are reported to the United States Department of Agriculture as having made according to demonstrated methods 3,300,000 pounds of butter during the year, 1,550,000 of which were sold, and in addition they sold 750,000 gallons of cream.

Mrs. Kruse kept a record of eggs produced and sold during the year, but did not include those used in the home, which amounted to a good many dozens. The flock has more than paid for a new poultry house built last fall, from plans furnished by the extension agent. Eggs sold during the year brought $477.50, the old hens sold for $77.80. Several cockerels were sold for breeding purposes, and the rest were marketed while young, bringing in considerable additional money. Three neighbors who saw Mr. Kruse's poultry house borrowed the plans and built similar ones. ORI The Kitchen Cabinet (©, 1923, Western Newspaper Union.) The men of the past overcame because they had convictions. We of the present frequently fall because we have nothing but opinions. LUNCHES AND DINNERS If children carry a lunch to school, it should be carefully packed with food that is wholesome and also substantial. Sweets should be used sparingly, though. surprise in the form of a cake, a few dates, or pieces wholesome and also substantial. Sweets should be used sparingly, though. surprise in the form of a cake, a few dates, or pieces of candy, or a little fruit in season, hidden in a corner, is a source of keen pleasure to a youngster. Sandwiches are the usual food first put into the basket. These may be varled as to fillings, making some sweet, some sour, or filled with meats, cheese and eggs. Pickles are not especially good food for the young, but a good homemade dll pickle sliced very thin, and only one or two slices used, will help to make a meat-filled sandwich tasty. Lay the slice of pickle over the meat. Oll cucumber pickles, finely minced and mixed with clopped meat makes another good sandwich. Jelly, jam and preserves are all good, and when used the piece of cake may be omitted. Molded Chicken.—Remove all the meat from the bones of an uncooked fowl and put it twice through the meat chopper. Into a saucepan place one half cupful of bread crumbs and one cupful of milk; heat, stirring until a paste is formed. Take from the heat and gradually beat in the chicken, adding a teaspoonful of salt, pepper and paprika to taste and a tablespoonful of minced parsley with three well-beaten egg yolks. Fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites, turn into a buttered baking dish, stand in hot water and bake in a moderate oven for 40 minutes. Turn out and serve with a white sauce. Beets with cardinal sauce are delicious with this dinner. Boil the beets until tender, chop and serve with the following: To three tablespoonfuls of melted butter's added three tablespoonfuls of flour, then add one cupful of the red liquor from the beets, boil until thick, then add one-fourth cupful of vinegar or the juice of half a lemon. Boil up again, add one-half cupful of cream and pour over the chopped or diced beets. Gingerbread is a cake that most children like, and with a dish of apple sauce and one of cottage cheese one can, with a bottle of milk, make a good meal. Chopped raisins and nuts mixed with a teaspoonful of any fruit juice makes a delicious cake filling which the children will like again and again. "Defeat is for those who accept de- fense, because is for those who scknowledge it." MORE GOOD THINGS Date Balls.—Stone and chop three rupfuls of dates, add one cupful of black walnut meats, one teaspoonful of sirup and a tablespoonful of the preserved ginger, finely chopped. Make into balls. roll in coconut. meats, one teaspoonful of sirup and a tablespoonful of the preserved ginger, finely chopped. Make into balls, roll in coconut. Sour Cabbage.—Cut a two-inch cube of fat salt pork in dice and fry until a light brown. Add one cupful of boiling water, two quarts of shredded cabbage and one sour apple cut fine. Cook for an hour very slowly. When half done add one-half cupful of not too sour vinegar. Buttermilk Bran Bread.—Mix a pint each of bran and white flour with one cupful each of brown sugar and ralsins and one teaspoonful each of salt and soda. Beat up with a pint of buttermilk and bake in a moderate oven an hour. Chestnut Sauce.—Take one cupful of chestnuts cooked as above, add to a rich brown sauce prepared by thickening the fat in the pan, with two to three tablespoonfuls of flour; brown, well season and serve with the roast or fowl. Chestnut Cakes. — Cook a pound of chestnuts for fifteen minutes, shell and skin them, then cook in boiling water until tender. Rub through a sleeve and to every cupful add the yolk of an egg, white pepper, celery salt, onion juice and salt to taste. Make in neat cakes, dip in egg and fry in butter and serve with broiled steak. Baked Hash.—Butter a shallow baking dish, pile in the hash loosely, smooth the top, dot with bits of butter and bake until brown and crisp. Turn out on a platter or serve from the baking dish. Orange Frosting.-Take one cupful of confectioner's sugar, mix with one tablespoonful of cream, pulp and rind of an orange and a little orange extract with some yellow vegetable coloring. Beat until smooth and spread over the cake. Sardine Scramble.-Add the juice of half a lemon to one cupful of finely-cut sardines. Use the oil from the can instead of butter, beat six eggs, mix well with the sardines and cook in the oil. Nellie Maxwell The KITCHEN CABINET (© 1923, Western Newspaper Union.)

To keep the family happy with good food, a variety, and (quite important) accomplish this with economy, is the daily task of millions of women in our country. The planning of meals, cooking and marketing, even if enjoyed, becomes at times monotonous. So often the remark is made by the housewife, "does it pay to spend so much time, energy jj and material on a meal and have it consumed within an hour?" Let us see if it is worth while—that a well-prepared, daintily served meal sent the brain worker out with energy to accomplish a hard task; perhaps it was winning a case, charging the jury, writing a poem or selling goods; whatever his work is he is better equipped in mind and body to win. The same food which does this for the brain or hand worker, builds tissue and bone, making the child sturdy and strong, laying the foundation for good citizenship. There is no inheritance of wealth or the possession of the best education which will take the place in life of robust health and a happy disposition; these are largely in the hands of the mother who plans the meals and feeds her family. So then it seems quite worth while to put time, thought, energy and the money we can afford, into good food, for it goes out in countless ways to energize the world. A good dish is to use any leftover roast of beef is the following: Spanish Meat Dish.—Into a baking dish put a layer of thinly sliced raw potatoes; over this a layer of cold roast beef cut in thin slices and a little gravity added, then a thin layer of shredded onion and a cupful of cooked tomatoes. Bake after seasoning well for 45 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Scatter a few teaspoonfuls of cooked green peas over the top just a few minutes before taking from the oven. Other meat or fowl may be used in place of beef. White House Cordial.—Take one pint each of pineapple juice and orange juice, fourteen lemons, two quarts of water, two pounds of sugar and one careful of fresh mint. Bruise the mint with part of the sugar. Boil the rest of the sugar and water 15 minutes. Add the crushed mint leaves and let simmer five minutes more. Strain and cool. Add the strained fruit juices, turn into a chilled punch bowl; add one quart of charged water. a pint at a time. Garnish with sprigs of mint, thin slices of orange and lemon and a few cherries. True happiness leaves no reactions. The mind is at rest with itself and the consciousness is filled with the joy of living—David Star Jordan. EVERYDAY FOODS Even the common, everyday foods may be varied by different serving, or combinations which will relieve the monotony. Bread Crumb Pan Cakes. — Take two cupfuls of bread, soak over night in sour milk, add two well-beaten eggs, one-half teaspoonful of soda, salt to taste and flour to make a thin batter. Cook on a hot griddle. Graham Muffins.—Take one cupful each of graham flour and sour milk, one-half teaspoonful of soda, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, one egg and three tablespoonfuls of melted shortening. Bake in gem pans in a moderate oven. Lemon Filling.—Take two lemons, grated rind and juice; one cupful of sugar, one-half cupful of water, one egg, one tablespoonful of butter and three tablespoonfuls of flour mixed with the sugar. Cook all together over boiling water until thick. Plain Cake.—Take one tablespoonful each of sweet fat, lard or fryings and butter, cream together and add one cupful of sugar; mix until creamy and add the yolk of an egg; beat again until the sugar is well softened. Add gradually one-half cupful of milk with one and three-quarters cupfuls of flour, well sifted with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Add flavoring of orange extract and fold in the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs. Bake in a square pan and cover with the following leing: Stewed Cucumbers.—Pare large cucumbers, cut in quarters lengthwise and remove the seeds. Soak one-half hour in cold water. Cook in boiling salted water until tender. Drain off the water, add butter, salt, pepper and a little cream or a thin white sauce may be used. Serve on toast. Corn Meal Mush With Fruit.—Cook the meal mush as usual, then add before serving some ralsins, stewed prunes, figs or any stewed, dried fruit. Serve with sugar and cream. Fried corn meal mush is good for breakfast on a cool morning. Stuffed dates and prunes—stuffed with nuts, make a good finish to such a meal.
