LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY TWENTY-FOURTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF COLORADO REPRESENTATIVES DETERMINED TO PLACE STATE ON STRICT ECONOMIC BASIS Governor Sweet, in Keeping With Pre-Election Promises, Offers every Assistance in the Preservation of Law and Order, and Uses Administration for a Greater Colorado Party Lines Play Small Part in Discussion of Important Measures Beneficial to the People VOL. XXIX. TWENTY-FOURTH ASSEMBLY REPRESENTATIVES PLACE STAT ECONOMI Governor Sweet, in K tion Promises, Offe in the Preservation and Uses Admin Greater Party Lines Play Small Par Measures Benefi THE honorable Legislature of the state of Colorado is attracting more than passing interest, as with the composition of the House in the following proportion—33 Republicans to 32 Democrats and 24 Republicans to 11 Democrats in the Senate—a sense of good humor, harmony and good will prevails to the extent that the large number of bills introduced at this session come in for much discussion, and those securing passage have been thoroughly analyzed. Representatives giving satisfaction to their constituents and doing credit to themselves. In a special observation of the members of the Lower House, we note with much pleasure a number of those who served in the session of 1921, and who, insuring the people's confidence by their diligence and faithfulness of service were returned at the last election and are now serving as chairmen and members of some of the most important committees. House Committees. The Hons, Carl A. Austin, chairman of the roads and bridges committee; Mrs. Mabel Ruth Baker, chairman medical affairs and public health; C. H. Bond, chairman state institutions; Chas. W. Bowles, chairman appropriation and expenditure; Royal W. Calkins, chairman agriculture and irrigation; Lewis J. Carter, chairman finance ways and means; Chas. A. Cowan, chairman public buildings; George W. Irvin, chairman education; Chas. L. Jaynes, chairman towns and cities; Rudolph Johnson, chairman judiciary; Bert M. Lake, chairman Indian and military affairs; Wm. T. Lambert Jr., chairman fish and game; Chas. A. Linkins, chairman temperance; W. H. McIntyre, chairman insurance; Walter G. Moffat, chairman House expenditure and rules; A. Thomas Pollock, chairman revision and engrossment; Claud H. Rees, chairman on stock; Halsey M. Rhoads, chairman on printing; W. A. Spooner, chairman state affairs and apportionment; W. B. Van Atta, chairman mines and mining; Mrs. T. C. Wilson, chairman industrial relations; Allen F. Wright, chairman railroads; Robert A. Young, chairman elections and appointments. These have served the people of Colorado for two and in some case three terms and the time of conferring special honors for friendship's sake having passed into oblivion by electors of Colorado, it can be said --- with all certainty that their choice by the people to serve again in the lawmaking body of the state is the result of a purely meritorious service, and while the public enjoys such service, it generally follows that they are never slow to express their appreciation when the ballots are cast and counted. Members of the House elected for the first time and receiving the compliment of chairmanship of other House committees are doing their best to measure up to the arduous duties devolved on them, and with the valuable assistance of their associates are determined to convince the public that they are not novices and are equal to the task. The following comprise the names of the chairmen and their respective committees. Hons. Ralph E. Kullerstrand, banking; Frederick P. Cranston, constitutional amendments; Addison B. Manning, corporations; Samuel T. Chapman, county and city lines; S. Hume White, criminal jurisprudence; John D. Allen, Denver city affairs; Henry C. Nelson, enrollment; Earl M. Kouns, federal relations; John A. Holmberg, fees and salaries; E. C. Johnson, forest reserves; Axel P. Johnson, labor; Simpson D. Butler, mercantile and manufacturing interests; Eugene W. Jewett, penal and reformatory institutions; Arthur V. Shippey, public lands; Jesse E. Dean, state canals and reservoirs. It is very encouraging to publish the particular interest displayed by the lady members, Mrs. Baker, Mrs. T. C. Wilson and Mrs. Louise M. Patterson (the first two having been members of the last Legislature) in the general procedure of business, and from reliable sources the information is given that their activities in the various committees are very helpful and commendable. Much can be also said of Hons. Van Atta, Wright and Rhoads, who hold the chairmanship, respectively, of mines and mining, railroads and printing committees, and who with their supporters never hesitate to advocate conscientiously the people's cause, striving with insistency to secure against all invasions the industries of Colorado for its own development. The Representatives as a whole in both Upper and Lower Houses, conscious of their duties and what they owe to the people of the state of Colorado, are ever ready to carry out their obligation, being ever mindful of the Oath of Office when they entered upon this DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1923 most responsible and honorable service. OFFICERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. HON. CHARLES C. SACKMAN, speaker of the House, conducts its affairs in a manner that merits the commendation of his associates and wins the approval of the public by carrying out his official duties with dignity, and dispensing the rules, etc., with fairness to all. THE CHIEF CLERK, E. J. FISHER, with his splendid corps of clerical assistants, plays a very important part in facilitating the speaker and other members by the provision of everything necessary to give full information on bills to be presented, and by so doing enhances the interest of members in their duties, resulting in the accomplishment of more and efficient work that would be otherwise. REV. J. R. RADER, chaplain of the House, is always at his post invoking divine guidance in the deliberations. ODDS AGAINST GOVERNOR, BUT With a majority of one to the credit of the Republicans in the House and thirteen in the Senate, the odds seem to be against the political party that nominated Governor Sweet, and apparently a situation otherwise than easy confronts the head of our state; but with the reminder of the people's choice of last November, and the fearlessness with which he meets all comers, coupled with his wisdom in exhibiting that willingness to meet men half the way in a cause tending towards the betterment of conditions for the people, the development of the resources of the state, and a middle ground where labor and capital can meet and adjust their matters satisfactory to themselves, it is very evident that the Chief Executive is equal to the task before him, and he is satisfied to leave his champion of the people's cause in their hands for their judgment. In an address recently by one of the largest churches in the city Governor Sweet spoke from the topic, "Ideals—Living Up to Them," and the best character he could find to bear out his arguments. One of the points emphasized was the numerous failures as against the successes in Mr. Lincoln's life, but keeping true to his ideals and in his success of saving these United States he became the most talked of man in the world up to this day, by accomplishing something that the nation approved and thereby became the beneficiaries. The Governor hopes for the most harmonious workings between the members of both houses and himself, and as he impressed in his inaugural address, will not be found wanting in carrying out his pre-election promises, and will consider the constitutional rights of the citizens, the maintenance of peace in the state and an adequate return for the hard toil of the laborer above all things. Lieutenant Governor Rockwell will not be slow in doing his part for the success of the state. PARTY LINES AND IMPORTANT PARTY LINES AND IMPORTANT BILLS. Many important bills have been presented and have succeeded in passing the House to be finally dealt with in the Senate, but the measures that are engaging the strict attention of mem-Administration Code and the Inbers at the present are the Governor's crease Appropriation" for the enforcement of prohibition. While party lines have given way in a number of the discussions, yet these two bills are about to threaten the cordial relationship hitherto existing, but believing in the ability and honesty of purpose of the people's representatives, it is sincerely hoped that a course will be struck that will be least offensive and ultimately bring about the desired end. THE PRESS STILL LIBERAL. The News and Times, Denver Post, Express, all daily papers, continue to be liberal in the publication of the daily occurrences of the Legislature, and the COLORADO STATESMAN does its best in summarizing the weekly accounts. A few more days and the Twenty-fourth General Assembly shall have passed into history. Let us all hope that the session will terminate in A GREATER COLORADO AND MORE PROSPEROUS COLORADOANS. AFRICANS LOOK TO AMERICA FOR HELP C. Kamba Simango and His Wife, Both Well Educated Africans, Speak at Hampton Institute "Those Who Go to Africa Must Have Big and Generous Hearts." HONORABLE CHARLES C. SACKMAN, elected by the people of Denver to serve another term in the State Legislature, and elected to the important position of Speaker of the House of Representatives by his colleagues. An attorney at law whose erudition gives him the credit of one of the most valuable acquisitions to the legal fraternity in our state, and whose general conduct in the affairs of the present session of the Legislature merits the highest commendation of members and officers of the House, as well as the plaudits of the people. His impartiality in ruling and his willingness to aid members in anything for the good of the people, will place him on record as one of the best speakers of the House of the Legislature of Colorado. The COLORADO STATESMAN is pleased to add its tribute. By Wm. Anthony Aery. Hampton, Va., March 6—C. Kamba Shuango, a native of Portuguese East Africa and a graduate of Hampton Institute class of 1919, who has just completed a special course at Teachers' College, Columbia University, spoke recently in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, on African forms of government, police systems, education, and physical training. "A Africans," he said, "in spite of the lack of highly organized police systems, succeed in apprehending wrong-doers. They follow the customs and laws which are useful to their tribes, but they do not carry their rules beyond their tribes to so-called 'aliens.'" The Lot of African Women. His wife, who is a native of Freetowns, Sierra Leone, and who is a graduate of the Royal College of Arts at South Kensington, England, described the affection of African mothers for their children, especially for those children that are offered in human sacrifice for the sake of bringing peace to whole tribes, and likened this affection to that expressed by other mothers who send their sons to fight in modern warfare. She referred to the hardship which is brought on African women through the government conscription of able-bodied men for forced labor. "There are today," she said, "226 different languages and over 900 dialects spoken in Africa." At another Hampton Institute meeting Kamba Simango gave, in appropriate African costume, vivid pantomime presentations of an elephant hunt, a witch doctor's incantations, and a leopard-killing. His wife described several phases of African life, gave an African dance with piano music (originally written by Coleridge-Taylor and later arranged by Helen Hagen) which was played by R. Nathaniel Dett, and displayed specimens of native African work in brass, textiles and basketry, which had been made by men and women who had not come in contact with outside civilizing influences. She said: Africans Judge Persons. "The Africans need help in order to develop themselves, but they also have important contributions which they can make to the rest of the world, especially in the fields of art and music. "Those who go to Africa must have big generous hearts. The natives are NO. 21 keen at detecting all insincerity or failure to make works and deeds consistent. The African native judges individuals. He does not put many persons in a single group because of the failure or even meanness of a single individual. Africans are carefully watching American Negroes to see what they will do to help Africa." These two well-educated Africans will leave the United States in April to take up their work of missionary teaching in the Mount Silinda School, at Melsetter in Southern Rhodesia, where they will help the native people realize some of their worthwhile gifts. Africans Make Progress. That the missionaries who have gone to Africa have given the natives the best that they possessed of religion and civilization and that these missionaries continue their work of bringing out the best traits of the natives were opinions expressed by Kamba Simango before a large audience of white and colored people, assembled at Hampton Institute. He said: "We find that the African is also striving and reaching out to get those things which will develop his happiness and welfare. "In 1920, I understand, the government of Southern Rhodesia started two industrial schools. They have tried to interest missionaries to develop industrial education to such an extent that the natives will use the material they have for commercial purposes. This is the time that we need the educated Negro to point out the way! The government of Rhodesia is extending liberty in education. Africa is looking for intelligent Negroes to do educational work in Africa. "What Hampton Institute stands for in the United States we mean to make Mount Silinda School stand for in Africa." Cheyenne, Wyo. News The program rendered by the Excelsior Club on Feb. 23, at Second Baptist Church, was a success. The Ladies' Quartet, Mesdames J. Jones, B. Turner, Marie Penneston and A. Reese, was a success indeed. The Male Quartet, composed of Rev. Fairly, Frank McCombs, James Randle and G. W. Mayo, received a hearty encore. Piano solos by Mesdames Williams, Jones and Miss Erma Dyer were excellently rendered. Appropriate remarks were made by Rev. S. S. Fairly and Clarence Toliver. Mrs. Frank Randolph was mistress of ceremony. Mrs. C. L. Horn wishes to thank her many friends for courtesy extended during recent illness. One thousand dollars has been subscribed and paid by members of the Second Baptist Church for improvements on the church building. It is complimentary to Rev. S. S. Fairly, his officers and members. Improvements will begin after April 1. Temporary meetings will be held at 816 West Nineteenth street. The Baptists are proving that church pride and race pride go hand in hand together. A large number of persons have been under doctors care during the month. Mrs Wm. Witt is slightly improved. Mrs. Pryor of Brazil, Indiana, arrived to be at the bedside of her daughter, Mrs. Witt. Mrs. Lizzie Horn has had a relapse and is confined to her home. From March 11 to 18 will be prayer week at Allen Chapel. The revival will commence on March 18.

Germany's decision not to conduct any reparations negotiations with France and Belgium or make any pay- ments of uny kind during military oc- cupation of the Ruhr Is now in effect. Answering a communication for the Interallied reparations commission, the government refused to deliver fertilizer to the French and Belgians as demanded. ‘That France fears serious trouble in the Ruhr was indicated when the cab- inet decided to postpone demobiliza- tion of the 1921 military class. Dis- bandment of this cluss of reservist troops would automatically take place in April. ‘The cabinet, however, be- lieves that demobilization should be postponed until the Ruhr emergency disappears and will keep the men un- der the colors until May 31.

He has notified Secretary of War Weeks to hold expenditures for rivers and harbors down to $27,000,000, the budget figure, during the next fiscal year, notwithstanding the fact that both houses have given their approval to a "pork barrel" of $56,000,000—double the recommendation of the budget bureau. Secretary Weeks, it is expected, will notify the amy engineers to scale down rivers and harbors expenditures in such way as to conform to the budget figures. The money remaining unexpended under the amount appropriated by congress will be turned back into the treasury to be disposed of as congress sees fit next year. The President, it is understood, adopted this course because the rivers PRESIDENT HARDING has let it be known that he has an ultimate administrative dream which is the construction of another interoceanic canal in Central America, not to substitute for the Panama canal but to supplement it. The possible necessity for a second canal, through the Nicaraguan route, in view of the great increase in traffic through the Panama canal, was considered at a recent cabinet meeting. Earnings by the canal, Secretary of War Weeks pointed out, were nearly 50 per cent greater than a year ago. There were intimations in official quarters that the immediate future would see any difficulties of an international political nature amicably removed. At present the United States has a treaty with Nicaragua, known as the Bryan-Chamorro treaty, by which Nicaragua gives this government the right to construct a canal through Nicaraguan territory. The consent of Nicaragua alone, however, is not sufficient, inasmuch as the San Juan river, a part of the proposed Nicaraguan canal, is the boundary line between Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Furthermore, the Bay of "INTESTINAL STAMINA" PROPER and parliamentary is "guts"—so decided by a vote of the house of representatives. When Senator-Elect Wheeler (Rep., Mont.) recently addressed the La Follette progressive conference, he used the term "intestinal stamina," which seemed to get on nobody's nerves. Meaning the same thing, Representative Stafford (Rep., Wis.) observed, that the courts needed "guts" to punish violators of speed laws in the District of Columbia. Representative Fuller (Rep., Ill.) complained about the lack of enforcement of speed laws in the district, and THERE is only one water course in the entire country which can be utilized profitably under the present "unfair" division of interchange freight revenue between rail and water companies, in the opinion of the federal inland and coastwise waterways service. But in the government's experiment on that one—the Mississippi river—this bureau claims the water transportation has been so successful that it has increased the price of wheat in certain primary markets. But Chicago is not one of them. Its connecting waterway between Lockport and the Mississippi has not been constructed. Further, the boat line between St. Louis and New Orleans on the Mississippi which Senator McCormick proposes substantially to improve by a bill presented to congress, claims to have materially lowered the freight charges on certain imports last year. Among those are 90,000 tons of sugar and 2,500 tons of molasses and slurp from Cuba, 20,000 tons of coffee from Central and South America, 11,000 tons of sisal from Yucatan, and 37,000 tons of burlap from India. A large percentage of those consignments went to the Chicago industrial district. Ocl. T. G. Ashburn of the waterways and harbors appropriation is incorporated in the army appropriation bill and in order to veto the pork barrel it would be necessary for him to veto the whole army bill. Mr. Harding's move to block the neterofore invincible pork barrel is one of the most anomalous proceedings on record. In the past "treasury watchdogs" in congress have exerted their lung power to the "nth" degree in exhorting the executive branch of the government to practice economy. Now the shoe is on the other foot and the capitol may soon be treated to the interesting spectacle of congress denouncing the President and his subordinates for refusing to spend as much as it appropriates. This unexpected development may raise an important constitutional issue, but it is generally believed that congress will find it difficult to compel Mr. Harding to spend money which he wants to save. It is a noteworthy fact that approximately $22,000,000 of the $56,000,000 would be spent in the South, with the Mason and Dixon line and the Ohio river as the dividing line. This may account for the fact that the Dixie senators voted solidly for the $56,000,000 barrel. Fonseca, also a part of the proposed route, borders upon Salvador and Honduras, as well as upon Nicaragua. The intimation is that these governments may all be willing to accede to an American proposal. During January all records were broken for tolls from commercial vessels using the canal, and a new record for the number of vessels also was set. Military experts point out that the Nicaraguan route would be much more easily defended than the Panama route. President Harding scarcely expects to see a second canal completed during his occupancy of the White House, but he hopes to start the project under his administration. He cited the case of Detroit where automobile accidents have been almost eliminated through jail sentences. "The case the gentleman alludes to in Detroit," said Representative Stafford, "was because Judge Bartlett has the 'guts' to punish." At this point Representative Smith (Rep., Idaho) interrupted: "Mr. Speaker, I move the remarks of the gentleman from Wisconsin, Mr. Stafford, be expunged from the Record." "I think my colleague from Idaho," Representative Blanton (Dem., Tex.) interjected. "has acted rather hastily. If he will examine the Congressional Record he will find that very expression, used by the distinguished gentleman from Wisconsin, Mr. Stafford, employed in at least a dozen places." "That may be," retorted Mr. Smith, "but it has no proper place there." The proceedings were ended when Representative Stafford moved the previous question on the Smith motion to expunge, and the house by viva voce vote later refused to expunge the word. service says to the secretary of war: "As for the wheat carried during the year, it is but a beginning, but the service has carried approximately 1,000,000 bushels a month. The saving of the barge line's rate is 3 cents per bushel under the all-rail rate from St. Louis to the gulf. The operation of the service is therefore responsible for a direct increase of 3 cents per bushel to the price paid to the farmers each month for at least 1,000,000 bushels. "The effect is, however, much more far-reaching. The price bid each day for the exportable surplus fixes the price that day for all purchases, both export and domestic. So the proffered saving of 3 cents per bushel through the operation of this route is daily reflected to a commensurate elevation of the prices." OCCUPATION OF RUHR EXTENDED FRENCH TROOPS TAKE MORE TOWNS ON THE RHINE. COAL STRIKE GROWS OUTPUT OF COAL IN RUHR REGION BEING GRADUALLY REDUCED. Berlin.—A dispatch from Mannheim reports that the French have occupied Rheinau harbor on the Rhine in Lower Alsace. It is also reported that the French have occupied the rilfway station of Dornap near Elberfeld. The newspaper Germania reports that the French have occupied the railway station of Hamm, an important junction of the main railroad line between Essen and Berlin. According to the Berlin newspapers all the German trades unions in the Ruhr have refused the demand of the occupation authorities to hand over to them a list of trade union memberships. Essen and Duisberg have been isolated from rail communication with the rest of the Ruhr, according to the Berlininer Tageblatt. The railway station at Langendreer, one of the largest switching points in the Ruhr, a few miles east of Bochum, has been occupied, as well as that of Wattenscheld, to the west of Bochum, and the railroad line from Dortmund to Bochum is blocked completely. German press reports from Langendree say the French recently forced five hundred children en route from Bochum to Bremen to leave their train at Langendreer and walk back to Bochum in a driving rain, despite the protests of the chaperon that the party comprised sick and undernourished children who were on their way to the country to recuperate. Essen.—The German coal miners in the Ruhr are gradually being dismissed from work, according to the French authorities, who declare 2,000 were discharged in one day from the mines in the Recklinghausen district alone. It is assumed by the French that these dismissals are part of the German plan to reduce the coal output gradually to a minimum as part of the passive resistance program. The French have occupied part of the Bismarck coal mine near Recklinghausen because the Germans refused to load coal for the occupational authorities. The men closed down all the loading machinery in protest against the occupation. Meetings of the unemployed are being held at various points, according to the French, in protest against the German system of paying strike funds, and there is much unrest among the thousands of miners and factory workers now idle. At Dortmund 5,000 unemployed met and gave notice to the municipality that the strikers' pay of 2,000 marks daily was insufficient and that unless the sum was increased they would go to work for the French and Belgians. Urges Conservation of Forests. Washington.—A national policy to conserve and develop American timber supplies are urged by Secretary Wallace of the Department of Agriculture and Hugh B. Baker, executive secretary of the American Paper and Pulp Association, in opening hearings of the special Senate committee on reforestation. Uncle Joe Cannon Leaves Washington. Washington.—A quiet little man, with gray beard and a slouch hat, flattened so as to fit a pocket, got out of an automobile at the Union station, walked through the crowded waiting room and boarded a train for Danville, Ill. One or two remarked, "There goes Uncle Joe." The incident marked the final passing from official life of Joseph Gurney Cannon, who came to Washington fifty years ago to begin his legislative career. His departure was almost as unheralded as was his arrival fifty years ago. Votes Loyal Slaves Pension. Columbia, S. C.—The few remaining of the oldtime Southern darkies, the faithful former slaves who fought side by side with their white "marsters" when the Union army invaded the wealthy estates of the Southland during the Civil war, are to be made comfortable in South Carolina for the rest of their natural lives. Through the concurrence by the House in the recent passage in the Senate of a bill, pensions are provided for these faithful old servants by the Legislature of South Carolina. King Dines With Labor Leaders. London.—The king and queen for the first time in their lives broke bread with labor members of Parliament in the home of one of their subjects. The occasion was a dinner given by Viscount and Lady Astor, at which their majesties met among others James Henry Thomas, general secretary of the national union of railway men, John Robert Clynes, president of the national union of general workers, and former labor leader in the House, and Philip Snowden and their wives.

RACE CO-OPERATION AND ITS RESULTS of nothing that appeals so directly to the intellects and sensible men as the treatment the Negro has received among South, in the present and in the past.

"I look back and I see him, not as a squalid serf, picturesque in his rags, or as we behold him on the minstrel stage, the clown in the pageant making merry with cap and bell, but as an image of impending sorrow crouched beneath the roof-tree, God's shadow upon the dial of American progress, whose cabalistic figures the wisest have not been able to read."—Henry Watterson. THE words quoted above, written by Henry Watterson, appeared in the Century Magazine, April, 1882, nearly 43 years ago. He was then and always, to the hour of his death, the same friend and trusted counselor of the Negro race. And as Watterson spoke and wrote in the days gone by, so are many members of the white race speaking today, endeavoring to impress upon their people the necessity of inter-racial co-operation, which would not only cause a better understanding between the white man and the Negro, but bring about a result of absolute "emancipation" that would win the approval of Heaven and merit the endorsement of all races of the world. Our admiration the white man wins for his great achievements, whereby the world has made such rapid strides in learning, inventions, scientific development, etc., so that mountains are tunnelled, rivers diverted from their courses and their power made useful in propelling our industrial machinery; the arid desert blooming and blossoming as the rose, as by his engineering ability and mechanical skill, his railroads traverse the vast expanse of sand and rock that appear impossible to govern and impracticable to manipulate; his delving into the bowels of Mother Earth and extracting therefrom her unlimited mineral resources for the use of man; his ocean greyhounds plying the waters of the deep and bearing the good news of commercial relationship as well as being one of the chief and direct agencies of man's acquaintanceship with man—these and all of these compel a confession of his greatness and a wonderment over his greatest success—the harnessing of the atmosphere by which he develops the fastest means of transportation and gambols to the delight of spectators who, with baited breath, view the gyrations of his airship as it meanders in the heavens. Certainly it behooves a being of such wonderful capacities and qualities to co-operate, to use his influence, in fact all his powers, to bring about that fellowship, that spirit of humanitarianism that the Creator intended should be between man and man. Because of our firm belief in the adoption of this spirit and principle in man, black or white, we lend our hearty co-operation to the great Interracial Movement that Dr. Robert Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, has started, and commend him for his effort and success thus far achieved, and the class of people on both sides whose interest he has engaged and whose conscience he has awakened to the extent that they with unbridled tongue and pen express themselves freely, their specific object being the amelioration of condition of our people and the harmonious relationship that should exist among all citizens of this great commonwealth irrespective of color or station in life. We are facing certain conditions which a certain element of whites is trying to thrust on us, and in their effort to interpret the Constitution of the State of Colorado to their convenience, they are doing their best to influence the better classes of their people—going so far as to attempt to coerce our Chief Executive of State, our city chief and our councilmen in the introduction and maintenance of laws for our SCHOOL SEPARATION and our RESIDENTIAL SEGREGATION. But thanks to the ability, integrity and manly courage of our officials and lawmakers, who are not only turning the deaf ear but who have expressed themselves for JUSTICE TO ALL. If our opponents who are so anxious to deprive the Negro of the modicum of liberty, civic right and a man's chance that he enjoys in Colorado and other parts of this country, would only familiarize themselves with the workings of the various organizations, magazine writings, editorials of leading colored and white papers, also general expressions of the better classes among them, they would be converted to the true doctrine of the American, ALL FOR ONE—ONE FOR ALL, and let our nation be presented in her truer light as the great civilizing agent of the world, and the MELTING POT of all peoples and races. Says Governor Edwin P. Morrow of Kentucky, relative to the Interracial Movement—"I believe that through inter-racial co-operation there will come a better understanding between the races; more helpfulness; more usefulness and in the end the great betterment of all citizens;" while the very encouraging statement of former Governor Roberts of Tennessee strengthens our hope in the following: "I can hear testimony to the increasing good-will between the two races and to their co-operation in many things for the public welfare;" and the timely and emphatic reply of Governor Sweet of Colorado very recently, when he was approached by a delegation on "separate schools and residential segregation," in the following: "No city in America has a finer class of colored people than are to be found in Denver, and the relations between the races have always been pleasant. You go back south of Mason and Dixon's line and handle the school question in any manner you see fit and we of Colorado will handle the question here as we see fit." Let us as Americans remember the grand expression—"This above all—to thine ownself be true, etc," Son of Slave and Master's Son Fellow - Members of Federal Council of Churches. Son of Slave and Master's Son Fellow - Members of Federal Council of Churches. By Jonathan Cover. STRANGE coincidences growing out of the traditional relationship of whites and Negroes in America are constantly occurring all over this broad land, but for gripping human interest and undeniable pathos an incident of the annual meeting of the Executive Committee of the Council of Churches, held recently at Indianaapolis is both suggestive of some deftly woven romance as well as the purposeful plans of the Great Creator in the guidance and control of the lives of men. The principals in this unusual story of life and duty, the one, Dean W. F. Tillett of Vanderbilt University, son of a former slave owner, the other President S. G. Atkins of Slater Normal College at Winston-Salem, N. C., son of a slave in the family of the former, had not met nor probably thought much one of the other since those preCivil War days when the journey of life began for them as master and slave at the old plantation home. At a convenient point of the proceedings Dean Tillett requested the personal privilege to make a statement, and said: "Before passing from the consideration of the subject of Christian Education I ask that I may be permitted to make a few remarks personal to myself and one other member of this Executive Committee who is present here this afternoon and whose work in life, like my own, has long been that of Christian Education. I am quite sure the relationship between this fellow-member and myself is one that does not exist between any other two members, nor is it likely to be duplicated in all the future history of the Federal Council." Dean Tillett then told of the affectionate consideration in which the father of Prof. Atkins was held by the Rev. John Tillett, his father—how he was the most trusted and best loved of all the small group of slaves. He told of Mr. Atkins' highly successful endeavors in the field of Negro education and then said, "I am now going to ask Prof. Atkins to come forward and let me present him to the Council." As they met, Dean Tillett extended his hand and said, "If thy heart is as my heart, give me thy hand." Tears arose to the eyes of many as thus for a moment they stood with clasped hands. Proceeding with much evidence of feeling, the Dean said, "I honor the memory of my father but I want to say, President Atkins, that I also honor and revere the memory of your father, Allen Atkins. He was a good and true man, and I congratulate you, both on account of your descent from so good a man and your ascent from conditions of obscurity and poverty to the high place of influence you have achieved. I rejoice in the fact that you and I are both now free, for the emancipation of the Negro race in America meant also the emancipation of the white race—your father and mine were both willing bond-servants of Jesus Christ. They are together now in a land where both are free, and I can but think they rejoice to see their sons associated together in the freedom and fellowship of this Council and in the work of Christian Education. There followed prolonged applause as Dean Tillett and President Atkins returned to their seats, and continued until the chairman complying with the evident wish of the audience, invited President Atkins to return to the platform and say a word. Responding modestly, though eloquently, Mr. Atkins told briefly of his struggles to further the cause of Christian education among his people in North Carolina and stressed the growing interest and helpfulness accorded his work at Winston-Salem, through legislative appropriation as well as through the genuine spirit of co-operation that has developed between the races. As an instance of this he recalled that the first appropriation made by the State Legislature for a school for the training of Negro teachers in North Carolina, was the small sum of $2,000, while the General Assembly two years ago appropriated nearly $1,000,000 for that purpose. Surely the fact of such a happening as recorded above should be seized upon as conclusive evidence of co-operation for that racial brotherhood for which this inter-church movement so nobly stands and which in ringing tones calls the justice-loving of all races to do battle against the minions of ignorant prejudice and unthinking, slavish caste. The most important thing, as voiced by Rev. W. W. Alexander of Atlanta, at this meeting, is a better appreciation of what the Negro has achieved. "The romance of the progress of the Negro from savagery to civilization," he said, "should be an inspiration to the people of this country. The Negro has aspirations and those aspirations are for the best things in American life. What the Negro needs most is to have the truth told about him. The rumors about him are nearly all bad, but the facts are nearly all good." 9 ```markdown ``` STATE CAPITOL NEWS LETTER The measure creating the Grand Junction drainage district was passed on final reading by the House. Compromise between Republican legislative leaders and Governor Sweet is yet possible on the Lambert consolidation bill and the administrative code measure. It was indicated in the House that they would vote for a closed season on deer. A bill closing the deer season until 1928 was up for consideration and was finally laid over. All private fish and game preserves in Colorado are abolished under Senat Bill No. 53, by Senator Harry G. Saunders, Republican of Denver, which passed the State Senate on second reading. The Twenty-fourth General Assembly will adjourn Tuesday, April 10. This date was decided on by Republican senators and representatives at a party caucus in the Brown Palace hotel. The bill creating the office of state market director did not meet with opposition. This measure was passed once before on second reading and then re-referred to the agricultural committee when opposition developed. Three really important issues have yet to come up for the consideration of the assemblymen: The Sweet administrative code and the Lambert consolidation measures. The co-operative farm program; and the long appropriation bills. Coal companies operating upon leased land would be compelled to post a bond to guarantee the payment of labor, under the provisions of a measure by Representative E. C. Johnson of Moffat county that passed the House on second reading. Governor Sweet has not yet signed the vouchers on the capitol building fund to pay Senate employés. Seventeen persons employed there, including several Stenographers, have as yet been unable to draw any pay as a result of the governor's action. Another measure, which passed the House unanimously on second reading requires that stores or companies issuing profit-sharing coupons, tokens, premiums or prizes with purchases must post a cash bond with the secretary of state. Efforts to prohibit the practice entirely have been found unconstitutional, and this is believed to be the best method for remedying the practice. The Senate passed on third and final reading Senate Bill No. 239, by Senators Warren and Morrison, securing the payment of claims of persons employed on public works; House Bill No. 11, by Mrs. Wilson, establishing $12 instead of $10 as the maximum weekly payment under the workmen's compensation act; and House Bill No. 124, by Rhoads, extending the privilege of admittance to the Colorado Soldiers' and Sailors' Home to veterans of all foreign wars. The passage of four of the child-welfare bills and the measure creating the office of state director of markets, and announcement that Republicans and Democrats are going to compromise on the Sweet administrative code bill and the Lambert Consolidation of the State House of Representatives. Both the Sweet and the Lambert measures were drawn for the same purpose—that of abolishing the many boards and bureaus of state government and consolidating the work in a few departments. Governor Sweet maintained that his measure would result in a saving of more than $500,000 next year. The battle over the bill establishing a hospital for the insane at Brush was heated, and numerous attempts to have the bill re-referred were made. The final vote on the measure was thirty for and twenty-eight against. A measure/passed after an extended fight calls for the submission to the people of the question as to whether the Legislature will be allowed to enact legislation as to what text books shall be used in the schools. This is forbidden now by the constitution, and if the people approved, the Legislature could fix standard text books for every school in the state. A compromise between Republican leaders in the Legislature and Governor Sweet has been reached and they will attempt to draft a single bill to take the place of the Sweet administrative code bill and the Lambert consolidation bill. Committees from the Legislature, assisted by Jas. H. Pershing and Prof. Don Sowers have started work to draft a compromise measure that will be acceptable to both sides. This will be a difficult problem, it is said, as the methods of consolidating the work of the state government differs widely in the two bills. The House passed on final reading by a vote of 42 to 13 the bill by Representative Axel P. Johnson of Denver, designed to stop the "closed hospital" system. Under its provisions hospitals not open to all doctors holding a license from the State Board of Medical Examiners would be forced to pay taxes. A fight resulted in the House over the bill giving Denver two additional district judges. The bill was passed by the Democrats, aided by a few Republicans, so that Governor Sweet will appoint the judges at once. JOHN H.

He reports a very pleasant and uneventful trip. Mrs. Laura Gunnell, for several years faithful employe of the Baur confectionery stores, met with a very painful accident last Wednesday by getting one of her fingers cut off in an electric bread cutter. MRS. WILLIS EVANS, wife of Willis Evans, employé of the Continental Oil Company, is another addition to the sick list in the community. We wish her a speedy recovery. Mr. Shirley Liggins, musician and actor, returned to the city last Sunday after several weeks' stay in Houston, Texas, where he was visiting relatives, accompanied by Mrs. Liggins. Owing to the death of Mrs. Liggins' sister at Springfield, Mass., she continued her visit to the eastern city to console her relative. Mr. James Gross was host to the Hi-pasthia Deroloc Club Tuesday evening at 1627 East Twenty-second avenue treating the boys to a real dinner. The boys, thinking they were to have an evening all to themselves, were greatly surprised to have a bunch of fair ones steal in upon them just as the eats were being placed on the table. Mme. Patti Brown appeared at Campbell church Monday before a large and appreciative audience for the benefit of the Y. W. C. A., the Y. M. C. A. and the Woman's Club Home. Mme. Brown is a decided favorite in Denver and was the recipient of many social honors while in the city. The concert rendered was of high order and merited the generous attendance and liberal applause given every number. ELECTORS, TAKE NOTICE.

The branch will actively assist the Christian Endeavor Society of Shorter Church in making the engagement of Dr. Dubois a success and laid plans to have the eminent editor of the Crisis at a social function during his stay in the city. Walter F.

Many prominent social leaders, business and professional men and women called, notably among whom was Mme. Patti Brown and her accompanist, Mrs. Doxey. The PRINCE was a most-interesting and congenial guest and seemed never to tire of the volley of questions put to him by those eager to learn of the habits, state of civilization and progress of the inhabitants of Africa. He is a much traveled man and manifestly a close student of customs and various conditions in the different countries he has visited. It was a profitable afternoon and Mr. and Mrs. Russ are to be complimented for giving Denver folk an opportunity to come into social contact with such a noted Race leader, scholar and diplomat.

Work on the plans for the great building fund drive has crowded everything else into the background. Team formation is practically complete, and all that now remains is to await the time of the formal opening of the drive, and then fall in line. The latest work has been the formation of the teams under their divisional "generals." There will be two regular adult divisions, embracing six teams each, and an auxiliary division composed of two teams of boys. These boys are from the Hi-Y and Employed Boys' groups, and will have a kind of a "general" of their own. International Secretary Robert B. De Frantz will arrive in the city next Monday evening, and will assist in the drive, remaining until it is over. It is expected that his presence will add great inspiration to the effort. At a huge dinner on the evening of March 16 the clans will gather for instructions and assignments. The next will be a great mass meeting on Sunday afternoon the 18th, at which Governor Sweet, president of the Denver Association, and International Secretary De Frantz will be the speakers. From that moment the drive will be "on" for good, and from then to the finish. The meeting tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon will be held at the New Hope Baptist Church, Ogden street and Twenty-fifth avenue. Lieutenant Governor Robert F. Rockwell will be the principal speaker. The Prince of Abyssinia and Bishop of the Coptic Church will also be present and will speak. The meeting will begin at 3:45 o'clock and will be open to the public. PRINCE OF ABYSSINIA Addresses Denver Colored Civic Association. The large crowd that attended the March meeting of the DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION at 2630 Welton street Wednesday night, enjoyed a rare treat when the Prince of Abyssinia, speaking on the "Rape of Africa, the Great Crime of the Age," delivered one of the most scholarly end eloquent addresses ever heard in Denver. For exactly one hour he held his audience spellbound by interesting historical references and beautiful descriptions that meant food for thought by all present. THE DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION has been addressed by many notables in the few years of its history, but by none more able than the GIANT PRINCE and BISHOP of the Reformed Coptic Church of Africa. A liberal offering was taken up to aid him in his great mission. C. M. E. CHURCH NOTES. Reverend C. E. Chapman, Minister. The Sunday school had a very interesting session last Sunday, and the less son proved to be a great Inspiration to all who were present. Mr. Allen Collins, the superintendent, is very loyal and is leaving no stone unturned to the end that the Sunday school might succeed. Two services were held last Sunday. At the morning hour of worship communion service was had in connection with the regular praise service. At the evening hour of worship Rev. C. E. Chapman gave the message, using as a theme, "Paul's One Objective." Tomorrow there will be the usual program: Sunday school at 9:45 a.m. praise service and morning worship at 11 a.m., praise service and evening worship at 7:45 p.m. The minister is charge will present both messages. The morning theme will be "The Steadfast Stand." The evening theme will be "The Value of a Vision." A cordial invitation is extended all churchgoers. A hearty welcome is awaiting everybody. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH. The Prince of Ethiopia and Bishop of the Reformed Coptic Church of East Africa will preach at the Scott Church Sunday, March 11, at 11 o'clock.

SOFT DRINKS DEATH OF MRS ELIZA DISHMAN Noted Woman in Business, Club, Church and Social Life of Denver Passes Away After Long Illness. Mrs. Eliza Dishman, wife of Octave Dishman, one of Denver's pioneer citizens, passed away Monday noon at the family home at 2439 Gilpin street, after an illness extending over a year. The end was most peaceful and Mrs. Dishman entered into eternal rest with the same calm and sweetly smile that characterized her all through life. With her at the last was her faithful sister, Mrs. Young, and Madame DeNeal, both of whom had patiently administered to her wants through the long months of her illness. In the death of Mrs. Dishman Denver indeed loses one of her truly womanly characters. Not only was she a woman of rare talent and culture that carried her well through every avenue of life, but she possessed that sublimist of all human blessings, the aptitude of acquiring and holding friends. No woman valued friends more, none looked with greater charity upon their faults nor treasured their virtues more sacredly. Mrs. Dishman's executive ability was amply demonstrated five years ago when as head of the committee in cffarge of he National Federation of Woman's Clubs convention every detail was carried out without a hirch, and every item of expense cared for with a neat surplus instead of the usual deficit following such affairs. It was perhaps in the musical world that her talents shone the more brightly. In this she was generosity itself and hardly a church choir in the city or musical club but what has called upon and received the benefits of her wisdom and counsels. She leaves to mourn her loss a loving, sorrowing husband and brother in Denver, many relatives in the east and a host of admiring friends in all parts of the country. Of these none were more so than Madame DeNeale, a business associate and lifelong friend, who came to Denver some months ago and remained with patience and loving devotion at the bedside of Mrs. Dishman until the end. The COLORADO STATESMAN, joins in earnest sympathy to the bereaved ones. Funeral services were held from the Church of the Holy Redeemer Thursday morning, Father H. E. Rahming officiating. The large and beautiful floral offerings from friends and numerous organizations gave ample testimony of the love and esteem in which Mrs. Dishman was held by all who knew her. Let them laugh when you sacrifice desire to duty, if they will. You have time and eternity to rejoice in.—Theodore Parker. BENEFIT SMOKELESS SMOKER AND MUSICAL A BIG HIT AT FERN HALL LAST WEEK. The Hi-Y Club staged one of the best entertainments ever seen in Fern hall in many a day. Too much credit cannot be given the boys for the live wire pragram they furnished, keeuing most of the crowd on their toes most all the evening. Some of our good white sporting friends said it had the Stockyard shows beat a mile. All of the bouts were interesting and the willingness of those in the contests to mix with each other was the thing that made the hit with the crowd. Some of the boys showed that they were well versed in the art of self-defense and could take care of themselves very well in an emergency. The aspirants for the Junior basketball title of the city were presented to the audience at the close of the regular program and we must say they looked very neat in their uniforms, and looked like real champions. Keep up the good work. In the boxing contests Alvin Rivers won with a technical knockout—the only one of the evening—from Chester Steeele; Wade Waller and Elwood Collins fought to a draw as did Frank Watkins and Elysses Smith; Donald Brown and John Tracy; Reuben Cephus and Joe Kigh; Joseph Miller and Paul Hicks; and the midgets Hofford Hackley and Walter Marshall. In the wrestling match George Lee pinned Charles Clark's shoulders to the mat twice for a clean victory. The main attraction of the evening was the exhibition bout staged by "Irish" Cohen and Warren Williams of Denver University, two heavyweights. Mr. Townend acted as referee, Dr. Holmes and Huff, judges, Bob Davis, timekeeper, and Ulysses Andrews, announcer. It is the plan of the Hi-Y Club to buy sweaters for the basketball team with the proceeds taken in. The Hi-Y Jubilee Quartet sang at Park Hill M. E. Church last Sunday morning and made a very favorable impression in the manner they rendered their numbers which were well applauded. They sing Friday night of this week at Manual Training High School. The Employed Boys staged a Other Fellow Social at the "Y" building last Tuesday evening and a real enjoyable evening was spent by all present. The program consisted of group singing, piano selections by Donald Brown, Arnold Caldwell, Howard Nelson; singing by the Employed Boys' Trio, James Washington, Melvin Phillips and Edward Davis, and other stunt numbers which went to make up a real "HE Boys" program. Ice cream and cake were served to all at the close of the program. William Clark, president of the club, was in charge and made a fine master of ceremonies. Look out, Hi-Y Club, these fellows are right on your heels. THE DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING CO. FUNERAL NOTICES.

Radishes of Quality Can Be Grown in Should Use Favorable, to Get the illy and Quickly. GROW ASPARAGUS IN HOME GARDEN Splendid Early Spring Vegetable Is Good Antidote for That Asparagus is one of the very best antidotes for that sluggish, lazy feeling which overtakes everybody during the first warm days of spring. Nature has supplied the remedy for this condition by providing the proper green foods and asparagus is ready for use just when the need is greatest. Asparagus should find a place in every garden. Asparagus plants can be set either in the fall or spring and no shoots should be cut for use until the third spring after setting. Manure the ASPARAGUS One of the First Vegetables. ground heavily, even spading manure into the subsoil, as the value of an asparagus bed depends upon the plants making a rank growth during the summer months and thus storing energy in their roots for the production of the edible shoots the following spring. Every year the plants should be kept well cultivated and fertilized. An asparagus bed generally reaches its best about the seventh year after planting. THE RADISH, FIRST GARDEN VEGETABLE The radish is practically a universal vegetable. It is now in the market the year around and rarely is there a garden planted without at least a short row or small patch broadcast to these pungent appetizers of the garden. There isn't a great difference in the various kinds of radish offered for sale by the seedsman and almost any of them will be successful. The main difference is in the type of root. Stick a pencil blindly on almost any of them and order the one spiked and you will have good radishes if the garden conditions are suitable for growing good radishes at all. In the South the radish can be grown outdoors almost all winter except in the colder sections, plantings being made every ten days or two weeks for succession. In the North it is the first vegetable to go into the ground in the spring, in fact, it should be planted as soon as the soil can be worked, as it is quite hardy and won't be hurt by a little frost. It is a cool weather plant and must be grown steadily and quickly. Hot weather or a dry spell, either giving a check in growth, result in hollow, pithy roots, which are quite worthless. Cool and fairly moist conditions make the crisp, solid, toothsome radishes that everyone relishes in the early days of spring. Of the white radishes, Icicle has attained great popularity and is a fine radish. It is excellent in the summer when other types are not at their best. In case of doubt, French Breakfast in the olive shade, Scarlet Globe in the round, and some of the 20-day specialties can be recommended. Any of the long scarlet types give much the same result, the improvement in the newer varieties being in regularity and uniformity of growth. Radish soil must be rich and fine and deeply worked. It is best to have the manure dug in during the fall, or if that has not been done it should be well rotted and well incorporated with the soil in the spring. Radishes will grow almost anywhere if the soil is rich and in almost any sort of soil except clay. Soil clay needs to be lightened with ashes or sand and copious dressings of manure spaded into it if radishes are to do their best in it. Radishes may be sown broadcast provided the seed is not scattered too thickly or in rows as close together as six Inches. COLOR MASSES OF SPECIAL FLOWERS Care Should Be Used in Making Selection for Background Special flowers may be chosen to provide a mass of a particular color in the flower bed. The United Stater Department of Agriculture has prepared a convenient list, which also indicates the height to which the various flowers may be expected to grow, so that from it one may select plants for the background of the bed, or others for a low border, and at the same time make sure of mixing only those which harmonize. Among white flowers, or those with pure white varleties, one may choose from the four-foot list, cosmos, dahlia and sweet-sultan, growing three feet; clarkia, cornflower, larkspur and scabiosa, reaching two and one-half feet; baby's breath, china aster, Places for Posles. summer chrysanthemum, lupine, Japanese bell-flower, snapdragon, garden balsam and poppy, two feet; godetia, four-o'clock, rose everlasting and stock, one and one-half feer; candytuft, iceland poppy, petunia, ageratum, lobelia, portulaca, sweet alysum and verbena, growing only a foot high. A few flowers have varieties mixed with white ranging in height from the three-foot dahlia, down through salpiglossis, nemophila, pansy, petunia and pink. Yellow flowers grow in great abundance. At four feet there are sunflowers, feather cockscob and dahlias; strawflowers, zinnias and sunflowers, two and one-half feet high; calliopsis, summer chrysanthemum, African marigold, snapdragon and four'clock, two feet; calendula, Cape marigold, French marigold, Iceland poppy, California poppy, dwarf marigold and portulaca, one foot. Many of these have varieties mixed with yellow, as well as the rudbeckia and calpiglossis, which grow two feet tall, and the little dwarf nasturtiums and pansies. Similar lists could be worked out for orange, lavender, blue, purple, pink, scarlet or foliage effects. Farmers' Bulletin 1171 gives lists of flowers to be used to get any of these massed color effects. It may be had on application to the United States Department of Agriculture. ADVANTAGE IS CITED IN COUN TRY'S POSITION DURING ERA OF WORLD RECONSTRUCTION. MEXICO IS ONLY DARK SPOT Uncle Sam's Share of District of Columbia Costs $8,000,000 Under New Plan—$22,778,00 Expense Agreed to by Congress Conferences. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington. — America's relations with the rest of the world, the relations of governments as well as peoples, have reached a stage of friendship and good will which the highest officials of the United States government believe must prove of inestimable advantage in the reconstruction era. They are satisfied that substantial progress has been made in the realm of diplomacy in the last few months to warrant the assertion that America hasn't a single enemy, but a good many friends. Surveying the entire situation, the removal of many disputes in the western hemisphere has been deliberately sought so that America could furnish an example to the rest of the world of neighborliness and fair dealing. The league of American states was not urged as a formal institution, but the pan-American policy of the Harding administration is just now reaching the most important point in its development. The signing in Washington this week of several treaties between the Central American republics was influenced by the United States government as a measure of peace and order. It was largely through the mediating influence of the American government that the Tacna-Arica dispute which has been a source of bad feeling between Chile and Peru, has at last been put on the road to final settlement through arbitration. Good Friend in Brazil. America has always had in Brazil a good friend. Colombia feels more friendly to the United States than she has felt in a generation, because the dispute over the separation of Panama from Colombia has at last been generously settled, by the United States. Both Chile and Peru feel kindly toward the United States. Argentina alone has recently been a bit angry with the United States because an American naval mission was sent to Brazil. It so happens that the Brazilians wanted a naval mission, and if America hadn't granted their request they would have asked some European nation—probably Great Britain—to send one. When the mission was sent, Argentina looked upon it as a means of strengthening the Brazilian navy, and naturally since Brazil and Argentina have been rivals the move was disliked in Argentina. The United States government has done everything in its power to correct the misunderstanding; in fact, if Argentina wanted a naval mission, America would be in duty bound to send one there. No discrimination or special privilege was intended. Secretary Hughes will go to South America in March if public business here permits and probably will visit Argentina as a mark of America's esteem for that country. Looking over the western hemisphere, the only dark spot on the map is Mexico. Proposal that the federal government after July 1, 1924, shall no longer bear a fixed proportion of the expenses of the national capital, but shall pay the sum of $8,000,000 toward such expenses, is made in a bill introduced by Representative Louis C. Cramton of Michigan, who was chairman of the subcommittee which drafted the District appropriation bill this year and who was chairman of the house conferees on the District bill. Representative Cramton's bill proposes that on and after July 1, 1924, "there shall be credited wholly to the District of Columbia any revenue now required by law to be credited to the District of Columbia and the United States in the same proportion that each contributed to the activity or source from whence such revenue was derived." The Cramton bill also provides that "nothing contained in this act shall be construed to prevent, until July 1, 1927, the advancement permitted to be made for expenses of the District by the Treasury department, in accordance with the first paragraph of Section 1 of the District of Columbia appropriation act, approved June 29, 1922." Blll la O. K.'d. The District appropriation bill for the fiscal year 1924, as agreed to by the confeeers of the senate and house, as agreed to among themselves, carries approximately $22,778,000. The conference report, however, as submitted to the senate and the house, shows the bill still carrying $24,091,-415. The discrepancy in these figures is due to the fact that a large number of items placed in the bill by the senate are reported to be still in dispute. The confeeers, however, have agreed among themselves on all items except one, the senate amendment providing $675,000 for the purchase of the Klingle valley, Piney Branch and Patterson tracts for public parks. If the house should finally recede on that item, the total of $22,778,000 would have to be Increased by $675.000. Art Palaces Planned. Two magnificent buildings—one dedicated to the industrial arts and the other to music—would be erected here, the only expense to the government being the donation of the sites, if wishes expressed in the testimony of interested persons who appeared before the public buildings and grounds committee of the house are followed out. The industrial arts palace project was explained to the committee by Miss Rita Rheem of New York. The American Arts and Industries association, she said, will erect a $30,000,000 building and make Washington the world center of industrial art if congress donates a site. Judge William R. Bayes' of New York appeared before the committee for Mrs. J. M. Thurber, president and founder of the National Conservatory of Music of America, and outlined the plan to establish here at private expense on land owned by the government a national conservatory of music where talented men and women would receive free tuition. The building would cost several million dollars. On motion of Representative Andrews the committee directed a subcommittee composed of Representatives Elliott, Chindbloom and Lanham to confer with the public buildings commission with a view to ascertaining whether or not a site is available for the proposed conservatory. The matter of the industrial arts building was allowed to go over until next week. Dooms Archives Building. A final blow was dealt the proposal that an appropriation be made for the erection of a national archives building when the house adopted the conference report on the independent offices bill, which was agreed to by the senate several days ago. The house also indorsed the action of its conferees in refusing to accept the senate amendment to the bill calling for an appropriation of $1,000,000 for the erection of steel filing stacks in the interior court of the Pension Office building. Representative Simeon D. Fess of Ohio made a strong plea for the archives building, but to no avail. Would Appraise Indian Lands. Appraisal of Indian tribal lands by the secretary of the interior, so that competent individual Indians may be released from government control and given their prorata share of the property, would be authorized under an omnibus Indian bill passed by the house. The five civilized tribes and the Osage Indians would not be affected under the measure which now goes to the senate. The bill also provides for liberalizing the payments made to the Osage Indians, who had rich oil holdings in Oklahoma, and authorizes the use of $50,000 of the funds of the Chippewas of Minnesota to relieve distress among certain of their number. Jurisdiction would be conferred by the bill on the court of claims, with right of appeal to the United States Supreme court, in claims of the Blackfeet, Blood, Plegan, Gros Ventre, Flathead, Kootenants, and Upper Pend d'Orielle Indians of Montana, the Nez Perces Indians of Idaho and Washington, who claim lands or hunting rights under old treaties. The bill stipulated the claims should be filed in two years, and that attorneys' fees in all suits should not total more than $50,000, nor exceed 10 per cent of the judgment recovered in individual cases. Homestead entries on the Fort Peck Indian reservation in Montana would be given an additional year to pay arrears, under another provision. Adjustment of a number of minor claims also would be authorized. Petition of Osage Tribe. "To the congress of the United States of America: "We, the members of the Osage tribe of Indians, in mass meeting assembled, at Grayhorse, Okla., on the fifteenth day of January, 1923, make the following statements: "1. We want our rights as federal and state citizens as guaranteed under the Constitution and the allotment act of June 28, 1906. "2. We are now asking that our money be paid to us as it was paid to us under the allotment act of June 28, 1906. "3. We are not in favor of our money being paid to us under supervision. "4. We want our guardian matters to stand as provided for us in the allotment act of 1906. "5. We also object to anyone having a certificate of competency to dictate to us in our meetings, but they may act as proxy for their families." "0. We also hereby protest against any Osage legislation of whatsoever nature, until a law has been passed that gives to us the money that belongs to us. "Submitted to and approved by our principal chief." Pinyon Jays a Nuisance. Pinyon Jays, inhabiting Rocky mountain states, are birds of the same family as crows and about half their size. Between nesting seasons they rove in large flocks, often containing hundreds of birds, and cause serious damage to grain crops. Successful experiments in methods of control of these birds when attacking corn were made by the biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture in west-central Colorado, and a leaflet containing directions for using a simple but effective poison formula has been distributed in that territory. During the wheat harvest control measures are not so successful, and in large fields, where the birds can find ample food, the use of polisoned balts is not found profitable.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The feather duster and the broom scatter the dust; the vacuum cleaner and the dustless mop take it up. The carpet is not as easy to clean as the rug; the room also has too many ornaments to catch dust, without mentioning the ruffle on the mantelpiece or the books on the top of the secretary, for which it appears room could be found inside. The presence of the oil lamp and the stove indicates that A woman is cleaning a rug in a room. A Vacuum Cleaner Takes Up Dust Instead of Scattering It. this home is without some of the conveniences found in the home where the vacuum cleaner is used. A dustless mop, however, is available anywhere, and there are several hand-power carpet sweepers on the market not requiring electricity, any of which collects the dust instead of scattering it. How Dust May Be Laid. If a broom must be used, the dust may be laid to some extent by scattering wet shredded newspaper or tea leaves or any of the harmless sweeping compounds offered for sale. The strokes should be even and firm and taken in such a way that the broom or brush is kept on the floor most of the time and not flirted through the air, says the United States Department of Agriculture. The dust cloth should be held in a fairly compact mass, so that the surface to be cleaned is wiped or polished and at the same time the dust is held by the cloth. Dust From Top Down. When a room is cleaned small pictures and bric-a-brac should be dusted and removed from the room or placed in a pile and covered. Draperies and portiers should be taken down or pinned up. Furniture, mirrors and A woman mopping a hardwood floor. A Dustless Mop Does Not Spread the Dust. large pictures should be dusted and covered with cloths. Both cleaning and dusting should be done from the top down. When a vacuum cleaner is used the process is somewhat different, as fewer articles need to be moved. Beets Better When Baked. Beets are much better and sweeter if baked than boiled. They should be put in the oven in a baking-pan and turned frequently, then, when tender, served with olive oil and lemon juice. ANIMAL FIBERS ARE SENSITIVE TO HEAT Silks and Wools Require Care to Launder Satisfactorily. Garments Harden, Yellow and Shrink From the Effect of Strong Alkali They Should Be Washed in Lukewarm Water. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Silks and wools are animal fibers and when moist are extremely sensitive to intense heat and to all rubbing; moreover, they harden, yellow and shrink from the effect of strong alkali They should not be soaked and should be washed in lukewarm water (about 110 degrees Fahrenheit) with a neutral, white soap dissolved in the water and not rubbed directly on the material. Silk is not so easily affected by strong alkali as is wool, but its gloss is destroyed. The garments should be "soused" up and down and squeezed, but not rubbed, pulled nor twisted. Very solled places, such as cuffs and collars, may be cleaned by rubbing in good suds with the palm of the hand. Silks and wools should be rinsed as many times as necessary in water of the same temperature as the wash water. There is no advantage in adding soap to the rinse water, as is sometimes suggested. White wools and silks may be blued, but the bluing water should be of the same temperature as all the other water used. Woolen and silk garments may be wrung through a loosely set wringer, or the water may be squeezed out, but the material must not be wrung by twisting. Silk may be wrapped in a towel or heavy cloth before wringing. Gum arabic is of special use in dressing silks. If in powdered form, one or two teaspoonfuls of gum arabic should be allowed to stand in a quart of warm water until dissolved, and then this solution should be strained for use. If the gum is in lump form, boiling water should be used and the mixture kept hot until the gum dissolves; a double boiler may conveniently be used for the purpose. A quarter of a cupful of this solution to a quart of water gives an average stiffness. Wool will shrink if dried in too hot a place. Neither silks nor wools should be allowed to freeze, and they sunburn if put wet in the sun. Silks of fast dyes should be rolled while wet in heavy cloth until they are right for ironing, and not hung up to dry. The irons used on silks and wools should be medium hot, as both these fabrics scorch easily and little can be done to remove the discoloration. Silks and wools should be covered with a cloth if they are ironed on the right side, or they may be ironed directly on the wrong side. Wools iron more easily while still damp, for any creases are hard to press out if allowed to dry in. Silks should be rolled and ironed while still damp; parts that dry out should be ironed through a dampened cloth, for sprinkling is likely to spot silks. A well-ironed silk should be soft, not crisp and papery. Knitted and crocheted garments should be measured before they are washed, carefully pulled or patted into the original shape and size while still wet, and placed on a padded table to dry.

Apple and Date Pie.—Peel, core, cut in slices, four or five tart apples. Place a layer of the apples in a pastry-lined plate, and over the apples place a layer of stoned dates; sprinkle with grated lemon rind, add another layer of each fruit, then add two tablespoonfuls of butter in bits, four tablespoonfuls of water and sugar to sweeten. If the apples are not sour add a tablespoonful of lemon juice. Cover with pastry and bake. Luncheon Celery.—Cut the coarser stalks of celery into half-inch slices and cook in a very little water until tender. Save the celery water, add cream and thicken with flour and butter to make a white sauce. Put a layer of celery into a buttered baking dish, cover with the white sauce, sprinkling well with left-over dry cheese which has been grated. Repeat and finish the top with buttered crumbs. Bake until hot and serve very hot from the baking dish. Nellie Maxwell (Oct. 1923, Western Newspaper Union.) The eyes of other people are the eyes that ruin us.

WHENEVER one looks in on a fashionable, outdooring throng, there is one thing that impresses itself on the mind above all others, and that is the number and diversity of knitted garments worn. There are knitted frocks, knitted suits, including jacquettes and skirts or sweaters and skirts, in fabrics of wool or silk or fiber silk. From the warm camel's hair to lacy Shetland, there are فيلم A L PAISLEY COLORINGS USED IN THIS SWEATER sport clothes of wool, and in silk and silk fiber dresser models, of the sports type, prove to be quite the most fascinating things worn. georgette, but are shown at their bracelets, in several shirts. One of them is include picture of accessories given The jacquette, having made a trumpet in other directions, was to be expected among sports clothes, taking the place of sweaters or sweater-coats. With the vogue for white and plaited skirts, the pretty new jacquette-sweater seems to be called for to make a chic combination. One of these jacquette-sweaters is shown here of organzine silk, developed, in glowing paisley colorings. It is a smart, loose blouse, gathered into a plain, snug-fitting hip-band, fastening at the side with two round velvet-covered buttons. Long straight sleeves end in plain, tight cuff bands ornamented with two buttons. A narrow, fancy knitted band finishes the edges of the jacquette, and it is of a character to invite the addition of a daltry lace collar to the neck opening. With knitted fabrics by the yard. P P M SOME PRETTY ACCESSORIES taking their places among woven fabrics, we shall see more jacquette-sweaters and frocks and a greater number of two-piece suits this summer than we have ever before. There are a thousand and one pretty dress accessories—little jim-tracks which we could live comfortably without—but youth is not so much interested in comfort as in beauty. To make a list of the unnecessary but engaging belongings of women, is to be amazed at their number and weared of the task. Leading off with gloves, handkerchiefs, bags and things that are somewhat useful, and therefore taken for granted, there follows a world of trinkets and fancies—more or less in the limelight, as --- --- fashion centers attention on them or fails to see them. Just now wrist handkerchiefs, purely decorative, slipped through slides in little bracelets of leather or ribbon, have caught the wandering fancy of the younger women, and one sees them peeping out, in bits of bright color, from under the cuffs of various long-sleeved frocks and blouses. They are usually of plain or printed ```markdown ``` georgette, but are shown attached to their bracelets, in several sheer materials. One of them is included in the picture of accessories given here. The canteen and the vanity case continue to flourish, the canteen increasing in size until it resembles a toy trunk. A vanity case is pictured to which metal brocade in a Chinese pattern adds a bit of Oriental splendor. There are myriad strands of crystal beads, in all colors, all sizes and many shapes, combined in long or short necklaces and variously designed, so that the quest for one to finish off a toilete is always interesting. The shops are gay with these beads and they are matched in variety by earrings. Fashion still smiles on the latter—and they are now made in real as well as mock jewels. But the star of any collection of accessories just now is most likely to be the Deauville 'kerchief, which is worn at the neck or walst, or on the hat. One of these is shown in the picture. In printed paisley silk, with border of plain georgette, and the manner of knotting it about the neck is illustrated on the form. The group is completed by an example of numberless ornamental combs for the collure. These are made of celluloid imitating tortoise-shell, amber, ivory and other things, and designed in many graceful shapes and sizes. Some of them are enormously large, but few women can carry off these extremes, and the popular combs are those in familiar sizes.
