THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY TUT-ANKH-AMEN TOMB RECENTLY UNEARTHED AN ETHIOPIAN NEGRO BLACK RACE CIVILIZATION OF EGYPT VOL. XXIX. By Reverdy C. Ransom Jr., A. B., B. D. Oceanport, N. J. HISTORICALLY speaking, Egypt is the oldest born of time, the mother of all subsequent civilizations, the longest lived among the nations of the earth, the teacher of art, philosophy and religion, before Rome, Greece or the Anglo-Saxon civilization existed. The ancient name of Egypt is Kimet or Kem, root means, black, denoting the soil, or color of the ancient Egyptians. The Hebrew is Mirazim. The Greek or modern name is Alaguptos or Egypt. The language, hieroglyphics and customs of Egypt are different from that of other races, and are of Coptic, or Ethiopian, in origin. The ancient Egyptians themselves claimed their origin in Punt of Ethiopia, and their religion and gods were all Sudanese. Pinder, the ancient historia, admits they were black and with sable limbs. Even Prichard, the world's great ethnologist, admits and says: "They were like Negroes." The white man has tried to rob us of Egypt and keep us in ignorance, because she is the mother of his modern civilization. The Sphinx of Gezeh, the world's greatest monument and tomb, has the face of a black Pharaoh, which has stood silent on the desert sands for centuries, to tell the world not to be a mystery of our great civilization. Go today to the museums and see yourselves the mummies and paintings of Egypt preserved through the ages if they are not Ethiopians. Go to the University of Pennsylvania, see Rahotep with his heavy features, Neferet with the nose and lips of a Zulu Ahmes and Nerpertain all of the blonde races. There are 700 years of known history of the valley of the Nile, during which three great dynasties reigned. The first 2,000 years, the second 2,400 years, the third 1,500 years. Think of the durations of these civilizations and compare them to the transitory kingdoms of today. Negroes must research, investigate, explore and tell the world the truth of their past history. That when the white man was a savage, living in caves in England and dancing before his gods of fire and stones, painting himself with blue mud, we were singing to our priests, and praying to our gods in Egypt and had a form of beauty and sense of music he had not obtained. Tut-Ankh-Amen's Tomb, Recently Unearthed an Ethiopian. Tut-Ankh-Amen Pharaoh of the 18th dynasty of Egypt, who lived about 3,400 years ago, and said to have been a contemporary of Moses, his tomb was recently unearthed in Egypt by the Earl of Carnavon. His great civilization and culture have marveled the scientists of our modern civilization. The learning of his day, the works of art, the priceless treasures, which have been perfectly preserved through centuries, are among the greatest yet to be unearthed. Little, if not any, mention has been said, that this great king was a black Negro Pharaoh of Egypt. To my surprise a photograph of Tut-Ankh-Amen's resemblance, was published in the New York Times on Sunday, February 11, 1923, with many treasures unearthed.

As has been said in the Guardian, his tomb has been closed, and there is little doubt that his mummy will be put on exhibition like others found. We will try to be kept in ignorance, and few, if not any, will ever know that this great personage is what we might term an ancient Negro. The black race is not a child race, as has been said. That among the first peoples and earliest races to lift their faces to the chilly mysteries of the stars at the dawn of the world were black or "Negroes." Time will not be far off when the morasses and swamps of Africa shall be drained. The black giant who has slept through the ages shall rise up and come to his own. I see black men and women coming down the corridor of time, take his rightful place among the children of men and stand in God's sunlight. Prophecy shall be fulfilled, God's word will prove true: "Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God."—Boston Guardian. Bandmaster Wins $1,700 Verdict From U. N. I. A. William Isles, formerly bandmaster of the brass band which played for the Garvey organization, the U. N. I. A., commonly known as the Black Star Band, sued on behalf of himself and eighteen members of the band for $1,700 claimed to be due them as salary for service rendered at Liberty hall. President Garvey, admitting the men had not been paid, claimed they were employed by the Black Star Line and not the U. N. I. A. He was supported in this contention by the order's musical director, the high chancellor and the secretary general. The band played every night for the Garvey meetings, but when a Democratic political meeting was held at Liberty hall during last fall's campaign and the band was called on to play, they refused on the ground of not being paid for overtime and this led to total severance of connection with the U. N. I. A. The jury was out only twenty-five minutes, when it returned a verdict for the band for the total sum of $1,739.57. The case was tried in the City Court. Faithful Negroes in Slavery Get Pension In South Carolina Columbia, S. C.—Faithful Negroes who stood by their masters during the Civil War today were voted pensions by the South Carolina Legislature. The House this afternoon passed the Johnstone bill providing such pensions, which already had passed the Senate by a vote of 67 to 34. The bill provides that slaves who served the state and their masters in the Confederate army during the war shall be granted pensions under virtually the same conditions as those now paid to Confederate veterans. --- $200,000 Left Colored Girl By White Father A Peculiar Case Noted in West Virginia Charleston, W. Va., March 12.—Legal proceedings to set aside the will of Roman Pickens, anticipated since it was probated, have been instituted by John E., his brother, and a bitter fight is in prospect for the large estate left by the decedent to his daughter, "outside the law." Pickens, once sheriff of this—Kanawha—county and a picturesque figure, died in December last bequeathed his estate to Garnet Pickens, locally known and generally accepted as his daughter by a colored woman, long a domestic in his household. Entire Estate Given. The will gave the entire estate, appraised at $200,000, to Miss Garnet, with directions that she "treat with love and affection" the lawful widow, Mary E. Pickens (white), who holds legal rights during her lifetime. It also directed that she "well and comfortably provide for 'Cora,' the servant," during her life. Much common-sense advice was conveyed to the heiress, a beautiful young woman who has since reached her majority, by the document. It directs her to consult with experienced business men in all business affairs, cautions her never to sign or indorse any notes, and warns her that she will be the object of the schemes of designing persons. The beneficiary is also commanded not to sell any of the real estate until she reaches the age of 30 years, as the real property, located in this city and in the farming sections of this and neighboring counties, rapidly is increasing in value. White Executor Named. H. P. Brightwell, city treasurer and vice president of a local trust company, of which Pickens was a director, was named executor by The will and other prominent officials of the same institution were appointed appraisers by the court. Miss Pickens has had little or no association with other members of her race than her mother, with whom she lived in the home of her father on a farm at Tornado, about 18 miles up Coal river in a white farming settlement. There being no colored school and her father being averse or too "close" to send her away she, those who know her intimately say, has had the advantage only of what little education her parents and an occasional tutor could give her. LOVING CUPS TO BE AWARDED. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., March 22. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, and president of the National Negro Business League, announced today that the National Clean-Up Bureau of St. Louis, Mo., through its chairman, Mr. Allen W. Clark, has offered to give silver loving cups to the three communities that do the most effective work during the Ninth Annual National Negro Health Week, April 1-7. The cup will be awarded at the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League at Hot Springs, Ark., on Aug. 15, 16 and 17. Each community is urged to organize committees to carry out the Health Week program and the secretaries of the committees are requested to send reports of the work accomplished to Tuskegee Institute, Ala., not later than May 1. N. C. Mutual Takes Over Business of Afro-American Co. Second Oldest Insurance Company in North Carolina Absorbed by Oldest. Durham, N. C.—The North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company has at various times reinsured the business of twelve different colored companies operating in North and South Carolina. It now announces that it has taken over the business of the Afro-American Life Insurance Company of Charlotte, N. C. The Afro-American is the second oldest life insurance company in North Carolina, the North Carolina Mutual being the oldest. The Charlotte company was organized and fostered for nearly twenty years by Thaddens Tate of that city. The years of depression through which the country has just passed were severe on the management and strength of every business concern. The Afro-American is to be congratulated on having passed through this period with success. But at the close of 1922 Mr. Tate and his associates, with their usual and far-sighted judgment, saw that the day of big business was at hand and that if they wanted to give the largest return and the greatest security to their policyholders, the Afro-American should ally itself with some larger company. They turned to the North Carolina Mutual, the largest Negro life insurance company in the world. In such a splendid condition were the affairs of these two companies that a reinsurance plan was immediately effected and approved by the commissioner of insurance of the state of North Carolina. The policyholders of the Afro-American will, therefore, in the future pay all premiums to the North Carolina Mutual and look to that company for the settlement of claims. The North Carolina Mutual has $38, 999,996 worth of insurance in force. It has assets amounting to $1,687,619. It has paid in death and sick claims to policyholders during the last twenty- four years approximately $4,000,000. It maintains a reserve fund, for the protection of policyholders, that equals $1,481,700.76. It has lent more than $1,000,000 to finance Negro homes and business enterprises. Scores Dry Morality of Negro Burning U. S. London, March 16.—G. K. Chesterton, debating prohibition, Sunday night, before the institute Francais, described it as "that curious colonial experiment on the other side." He added: "We are asked reverently to follow America's example. But they burn Negroes alive in that country, and although I do not want to be pharascal about that, I do refuse to admit a society in which a vast crowd of people can meet together while a man in evening dress sets fire to a Negro and roasts him alive has any right to set itself up as an exemplar of morality to the world. Prohibition means sacrificing the mass of normal people to a lot of abnormal people." Hon. C. M. White, Supreme Commander American Woodmen, Dies Following Operation. M. B. Hon C. M. White, supreme commander of the American Woodmen, a leading financier and one of the Race's most noted men, passed away at 7 o'clock Wednesday night at St. Joseph's hospital within a few hours after having undergone an operation for stomach trouble. The news of Mr. White's death came as a distinct shock as but few of his friends knew of his illness. The Woodmen offices were closed all day Thursday as a mark of respect to their fallen chief. Mr. White came to Denver with his family a number of years ago, shortly after he had taken over the management of the American Woodmen, then a struggling organization of doubtful aim. The magiclike growth and power of the American Woodmen from the moment Mr. White assumed the reins of authority until today reads more like a fairy tale or some romantic story of Arabian nights. Recognized universally as one of the strongest, if not the strongest, Negro fraternal organization on the American continent, with its operations extending rapidly over the vast majority of states in the Union, the American Woodmen in its surpassing growth owes much to the ability, business acumen and foresight of C. M. White. In his death Denver loses a worthy citizen and large property holder, and the Negro race loses a leader and faithful friend. When Mr. White became the nominal head of the American Woodmen about ten years ago its operations extended only to Colorado and three Southern states, and this to a limited degree. Today the American Woodmen reaches out over twenty-five states to the east, north and south. Its rapid growth and undoubted strength has brought Mr. White info prominence as one of the nation's recognized authorities of any race on fraternal insurance as well as an organizer of unusual foresight and ability. He died at the age of 56 years, leaving a wife, a son and a daughter to mourn his loss. Funeral services will be held at Shorter Church, Sunday, 1:30 p. m. ANTI-LYNCHING BILL IS PASSED BY N. J. HOUSE Trenton, N. J.,—The State House of Representatives has acted favorably on the anti-lynching bill introduced by Assemblyman Randolph, and framed similar to the laws of Ohio and Illinois. The bill was passed at the night session of the House on March 5, and goes to the Senate for consideration. NO.23. Two Hundred Delegates From Twenty Cities at Negro Conferences in Louisville. Two hundred or more of the leading Negro city pastors of the Methodist Episcopal church will gather in Louisville, Ky., from May 9 to 13 to discuss the problem facing the church and the race in Northern and Southern cities and to arrive at means of their solution. The conference will be held under the auspices of the Bureau of Negro Work, Board of Home Missions and Church Extension, Methodist Episcopal church. Dr. W. A. C. Hughes, director of the bureau, will preside. Dr. I. Garland Penn Jr. will be conference host. The conference will make a special study of the movement of Negroes from South to North, noticeable during and since the World War. It will consider the results of this migration upon Southern agriculture, Southern cities and upon the cities and industries which the Negroes are entering in the North. The trend of large numbers of Negroes away from the rural sections into Southern cities, with the new problems of congestion, public health, housing, church crowding and school crowding, will also be considered. At least one session will be devoted to a consideration of Negro health in urban centers, and those health problems connected with the moving of thousands of people to a more northerly climate. The four-day program now being arranged by Dr. Hughes includes some of the leading men of the Negro race, both inside and outside the church. Bishop Robert E. Jones of New Orleans, the first Negro bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church, will have a prominent part on the program. About twenty of the largest cities in the country will be represented by delegates. This is the second conference of Negro city pastors to be held by the Bureau of Negro Work. The first was held last year in Atlanta, Ga., where for the first time in the history of Methodism religious leaders of both North and South met to discuss their particular city and racial problems. Some valuable plans were projected at the Atlanta meeting and have been in the process of being carried out since that time. They include: The organization of "city missionary societies" in all cities having three or more Negro Methodist churches, for the purpose of helping the weaker parishes; the use of church buildings seven days in the week as social and educational as well as religious centers; the adoption of programs of recreation, health and sanitation, lectures, class instruction in industrial arts and kindred subjects. GOV. W. E. SWEET SPEAKS TO GREAT CROWD AT SHOR- TER'S CHURCH. Speaking before one of the largest audiences that ever crowded its way into Shorter Church, Gov. W. E. Sweet met in rare fashion the keen expectations of all who so eagerly sought a glimpse and awaited a word from our chief executive. The meeting, held as a means of giving impetus to the Y. M. C. A. financial drive, proved to be a grand demonstration of unity, loyalty and co-operation in which our brave governor led the way. An interesting program was rendered, in which a part of Morrison's Orchestra took a prominent part. Mr. Robert De Frantz, international "Y" secretary, from New York City, followed the governor in a very strong address. Other speakers were Mr. Ira Lute, Jas. H. Causey and Rev. W. H. Thomas. FOREIGN The British steamship Merville was sunk off Steenbank, on the coast of Holland, with the loss of twelve lives. Eighteen irregulars, including some men of importance, were arrested recently at Ballyconnel and Tipperary. It is said they had arms and documents in their possession. The viceroy of India, Lord Reading, believes that radical animosity in India has beggun to decline, and that a closer co-operation in advancing the work of reform is now to be expected. He expressed these views at a recent dinner at Calcutta of the European association. The world non-stop dancing record now is claimed by a Marselles "professor," who called it a day after he had held the floor for twenty-four hours, four minutes and five seconds. He was assisted by two young women pupils, the first of whom, Mile, Marcelle Tref, danced sixteen hours, twenty-five minutes and fifteen seconds. The good humor of Alexander P. Moore of Pittsburgh, new American ambassador to Spain, averted a Franco-American diplomatic incident recently in Paris, when the chief French customs inspector refused to honor Moore's ambassadorial passport. Moore was able to obtain his trunks after interpreters were engaged for two hours in straightening out the tangle. The Germans in Duisburg and elsewhere in the Belgian occupied area have gone on a thirst strike. This is due to the adoption by the Belgians of the rule "no tax, no wine" as a method of inducing payment of the recently imposed tax on wines, liquors and tobacco. The Germans are refusing to pay the tax and the Belgians are seizing, locking up and guarding the wine cellars. A letter purported to have been written by Liam Lynch, republican army leader, to Joseph McGarrity of Philadelphia, urging the vital importance of "a consignment of arms arriving as soon as possible," was made public recently by the Free State government. "One piece of small artillery in a few weeks would be worth twenty pieces arriving in a 'couple of months,' Lynch was said to have written. "Time is on the side of the enemy. We want to make the most of the coming few months. If it is at all possible to have such here at once nothing should prevent it. We could turn the scale here immediately and also end the war quickly if this arrived." GENERAL D. W. Davis, former governor of Idaho, was sworn in as special assistant secretary of the interior. He is to act as personal aide to Secretary Work. Use of "check off" funds to unionize "open shop" mines was forbidden by federal Judge George W. McClintick in an injunction handed down in a special session of the United States District Court. The injunction prohibits the international organization of the union from sending money into West Virginia to be used in organization activities. In the span of a little more than two generations the United States has assumed the leading position among all nations in the volume and variety of its manufactured production, the number of wage earners engaged in manufacturing, the power applied to processes and the value of products, the national conference board says in an analysis of a recent census of manufacturers. "From 1849 to 1919 the total value of products manufactured in the United States rose from $1,002,000,000 to nearly $62,500,000,000, and the number of wage earners employed in manufacturing from 957,059 to 9,006,372. In the first twenty years of this century the personnel of manufacturinf industries more than doubled, while the total value of manufactured products in 1919 was approximately five and one-half times the total in 1899," the report says. A branch of the Fascisti of Italy, called the Fascisti of North Amerien, was founded in this country two years ago and now has 20,000 members in branches in many of the leading cities in the United States and Canada, the New York Herald has announced. The largest single zinc ore purchase ever made in the Joplin, Mo., district was recorded recently when the American Metal Company bought 10,000 tons from the Commerce Mining and Royalty Company. On the basis of the market price, $48.50 a ton, the amount paid for ore was $485,000. Joplin operators believe that not only a local record was established, but that it is a world's record. The largest smokable cigar ever manufactured has just been presented to Uncle Joe Cannon by the Cigar Manufacturers' Association of New York. It is twenty-eight inches in length, a foot in circumference, and is made of pure Havana shade grown tobacco, filter and wrapper. The cigar weighs a little more than five pounds, and arrived packed in a special handmade cedar box. Both the box and the cigar bear the regulation wrapper and band, the box carrying a special stamp. Eight hundred 'workmen' at the El Paso smelting works received a 10 per cent increase in wages. A unit for the electrostatic precipitation of solids from smoke, which will save 90 per cent of metals from escaping smoke and eliminate much of the soot and fumes, is to be installed at once at a cost of $50,000, it has been announced. Nine persons, seven of them women, lost their lives in an explosion and fire that swept through the Alleghany almshouse at Angelica, near Buffalo, N. Y. The women were all aged and helplessly bedridden. THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS A BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR-EIGN COUNTRIES. DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE. WESTERN Mrs. R. E. Barrett of Seaside, Ore., received notice that she had been elected city manager of the town of Warrenton, Ore., located near the mouth of the Columbia river. Jay C. Richenbach, 26, and Kenneth P. Brown, 28, reserve officers of the United States army air service, were burned to death at Fort Bliss when the De Havilland plane in which they were making a practice flight crashed to the ground in full view of hundreds of spectators. E. J. Bedell, manager of the Hotel Clunie of Sacramento, and one of the most prominent hotel men in the state, was arrested following the shooting of his brother, Milton Bedell, who is said to be in a critical condition. The shooting followed a quarrel in which Milton Bedell is said to have attempted to break into his brother's room. Plans for a state convention of postoffice employees to be held in Seattle July 4, were made recently at a meeting of supervising employees of the Seattle, Everett, Tacoma, Bellingham and Olympia postoffices. More than 2,000 postoffice employees from all parts of the state are expected to attend the convention. To inconvenience the traveling public through neglecting to post in railway stations the exact time each passenger train is due to arrive is in violation of the Montana state law and is punishable by a fine of $50 to $200, according to a communication which has been sent all Montana counties by Wellington B. Rankin, state attorney general. A fashionably attired woman rode up in a limousine to the entrance of the Palace hotel in San Francisco, handed a weighty package to an attendant, and then disappeared. When opened, the package was found to contain approximately sixty pieces of silver-ware, believed to have been taken from the hotel during the fire of 1906 which partially destroyed the city. The silverware is valued at $100. WASHINGTON The United States government is still paying pensions to forty-one widows of soldiers of the war of 1812 notwithstanding the fact that 108 years have elapsed since the closing of that conflict, according to statistics just compiled by the Department of the Interior. The federal farm loan board, at the conclusion of a three-day conference with the federal land bank presidents, gave assurance that farmers of the country will have the benefit of the government's financial aid, authorized in the recently enacted rural credits legislation, by the time the spring planting begins. The first operation under the Anglo-American debt funding agreement took place, when Great Britain made a payment of $4,028,000 to the United States treasury through the federal reserve bank of New York. This first payment was made to reduce the total British debt to $4,600,000,000, the amount upon which the funding agreement was predicated. Robbers broke into the Olympia (Wash.) postoffice recently, drilled their way into the money order vault, blew open the stamp safe and escaped with stamps valued at between $15,000 and $20,000. A decline of 26 per cent in the average value of plowed lands throughout the country is shown in a statistical survey made by the Department of Agriculture. The average value per acre on March 1 this year was $66.53, the department reported, as compared with $60.89 on the same date last year, $83.78 in 1921. Four new stamps of the complete new series to be issued by the Postoffice Department have been placed on sale at the department philatelic agency. The department said the new stamps would be sent to postoffices only when the present supply in their denominations is exhausted. One of the new stamps is of 12-cent denomination and bears a portrait of President Cleveland. The others are a 30-cent stamp, bearing the picture of a buffalo; a $2 stamp with a picture of the United States capitol, and a $5 stamp, earing the head of "America," taken from the statue on the capitol dome. States cannot impose taxes on mortgages negotiated by the Federal Farm Loan banks, the Supreme Court held recently. It overruled a decision of the courts in Alabama which upheld a tax of 15 per cent per hundred in accordance with an Alabama law on a mortgage of the Federal Farm Loan Bank at New Orleans, signed by D. W. Crossland of Montgomery county State laws in conflict in this respect were held unconstitutional. President Harding, by proclamation, has designated the week of April 23-28 Save-the-Forests-Week.

CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS Denver -- With the thermometer dropping toward zero and snow continuing intermittently virtually all Colorado was swept recently by a belated blizzard which caused serious damage throughout the state and centered out Pueblo to bear the brunt of its effect. A wind which struck the city and reached a velocity of fifty miles an hour caused property damage in Pueblo of approximately $100,000, interfered with telegraph and telephone communication and seriously delayed railroad transportation. Roofs were torn off, automobiles were turned over and fires broke out in various parts of town, which added to the property loss. A serious fire in the Missouri Pacific stockyards there caused an estimated loss of $50,000, and dozens of business buildings were partly wrecked by the high wind.

Boulder.—Joe Mills resigned as assistant football coach at Colorado university at a meeting of the athletic board here. Mills was head coach at C. U. in 1918-19 and assistant in 1920-21. He had a leave of absence during the season of 1923. He will return next year to coach basketball and track. He requested that basketball practice started at the university in the fall this coming season. Cafon City.—Lemme Crosse, train bandit, and penitentiary breaker, called the most dangerous convict ever confined in a Colorado prison, is back again behind the walls of the Cafon City penitentiary. Crosse, who escaped the Colorado prison by concealing himself in a barrel of swill, breathing through a straw, was brought back to Colorado from Texas. Greeley.-Dry farmers of northern Weld county, aided by Greeley landowners, will complete a part of the Greeley-Poudre irrigation district during the spring and summer. The district was organized fifteen years ago to irrigate 125,000 acres of land east of Nunn and Pierce, and collapsed with the canals and reservoirs half completed. Colorado Springs—George A. Allebrand of Colorado Springs was unanimously re-elected president of the Colorado Creamery Butter Manufacturers' Association in Colorado Springs recently. Mr. Allebrand, A. T. McClintock of Denver and C. B. Frink, also of Denver, were elected directors. The Colorado Creamery Fieldmen's Association, closing a two-day session, named A. L. Robinson of Denver as president and H. N. Nelson of Denver as secretary. George E. Morton, state dairy commissioner, and former Gov O. H. Shoup were among the speakers.

Composition of Bones. ‘The bones of the body are composed of animal matter and mineral matter, which {s lime. The animal matter eon- sists chiefly of fibers which give the bone its toughness and keep It from breaking. The mineral matter stiffens the bone and makes it able to support the weight of the body.

Eayptian’s Wedding Ring. At a recent address to a woman's club in New York, the lecturer touched upon the modern tendency to reduce the width of the wedding ring almost to vanishing point. The marriage cire- let, he explained, does not—as so many women appear to think—slgnify subjection. It implies the endowment upon the bride of all the husband's possessions, and when introduced by the Egyptians, it gave the married woman the right to command in the house with the same authority as her spouse. = —_————————— Se ee — = ee ————SSSSSBPPBbCYHhoihn»>_LHLL_>SD_LL_==== oslin Dry Goods Co. ee Sixteenth and Curtis Denver, Colorado a r —~) (age | BLOUSES i : | NEW BOTH IN COLOR AND STYLE : ‘ | Over-Blouses with sauey Deauville collars and saucy s .

The unparalleled success that attended the five-day campaign for funds for a building for the colored Y. M. C. A. is a tribute to Negro endeavor and solidarity that will not soon be forgotten. A signal victory has been gained by the Race and today we stand in a new light before the white christian people, and white financiers of Denver. We have proven ourselves worthy of confidence, not so much by dollars and cents as by a practical demonstration that when put to the test we can "get together" and stand together as one man. A prominent white citizen early in February laid down a challenge to us. This citizen, Mr. Johnson, believed that the Negro was entitled to better than he was receiving in the way of Y. M. C. A. equipment. But Mr. Johnson wanted to find out what the Negro thought of himself, so he issued a challenge of $5,000 towards a new building if we would, in a given time, raise another $5,000. The challenge was accepted, the gauge of battle laid down by the committee of management, and hostilities began at a monster meeting at Shorter Church last Sunday. Two army divisions, one under a blue banner, the other under a red, plunged into the warfare, and for five days the battle raged incessantly. Only occasionally did they stop for rations, and even then Generals DeFrantz, Lightner, Parks and Perkins satisfied themselves with a handout from the "mess wagon." Early last Monday morning the two army divisions deployed, and by a concerted flank movement started up "Finance Hill" with a whoop. Success, glory and honor abided in the mighty fortress at the top. The tramp, tramp was constant, the struggle desperate and for a while it looked as though General Parks and his warriors would be the first to hoist the colors of VICTORY. But they weakened at a critical moment and General Perkins and his Red Comanches rushed past, reaching the pinnacle of success. The banner was hoisted and a revelation given to the world that Negro men can and will battle side by side, dauntless and courageous in a common cause. There is glory enough in this great victory for all. Every captain, every private in the ranks, every organization, every minister, every newspaper, every agency of every sort contributed to this splendid achievement. Let us now have the building.

It put into practice the homely express door." Denver is generally and rightful cities in the U. S. Let us do our u prestige and fame by carefully foll guidance by a number of national situte, Jan. 9. There are no other than this and we hope Denver will progressive and civic agencies during THE ninth annual observance of a National Negro Health Week from April 1 to 7, is to be an event of more than passing interest this year. It has progressed beyond the "fad" stage and today is looked upon as a well organized institution essential to the health and preservation of all citizens. Health week as adopted and observed by the Negro population of the U. S. patterned after a bulletin prepared by the United States Public Health Service, means security in a sense for all people, as there can be no higher prevalent health condition for some of the people than is possible for all. A statement issued from Tuskegee on this important phase of the question commands our peculiar interest at this time as it says: "The Ninth Annual National Negro Health Week should secure a more general interest in an understanding of health problems and health education than any which has preceded it. Results of the last annual Health Week gave great impulse to this health movement which is planned to effect the co-operation of all welfare agencies and groups of people in the reduction of preventable sickness and deaths, and the increase of vitality and resistance to disease. Such results not only lessen the misery and cost of preventable sickness and death to the family, community and the government, but also increase the well-being, earning capacity and service of the healthy citizen to home, community and country." Who can question the value and logic of the foregoing suggestion? And for this reason the matter of a proper observance of National Negro Health Week is not a duty to be delegated to your neighbor but a personal obligation falling upon all alike. It is a convenient season in which to put into practice the homely expression, "sweep clean before your own door." Denver is generally and rightfully regarded as one of the cleanest cities in the U. S. Let us do our utmost during this week to add to its prestige and fame by carefully following a program suggested for our guidance by a number of national health organizations at Tuskegee Institute, Jan. 9. There are no other duties of citizenship more important than this and we hope Denver will see the fullest co-operation of all as progressive and civic agencies during this Health Week. Shall Tuskegee Hospital Be Manned By Whites? Shall Tuskegee Hospital Be Manned By Whites? Surgeon-in-Chief and Head Nurses to Be of Political Selection, Is the Rumor Word comes to the Eagle that arrangements have been made to man the Veterans' hospital at Tuskegee with white heads and the lower places with colored nurses and physicians. Why should this be? There are men in this nation who have seen overseas duty and are capable of manning this hospital. There are men here in the city of Washington who are capable of manning it. Why must this new institution built for colored soldiers on a site peculiarly dedicated to colored uplift and progress, be manned by members of the other race? We wonder how the crackers in Alabama will view this living together of white and colored professional people in a government hospital, in view of their stated policy of segregation? A National Negro Health Week from more than passing interest this year, "ad" stage and today is looked upon vital to the health and preservation of and observed by the Negro population prepared by the United States Public sense for all people, as there can be for some of the people than is posem Tuskegee on this important phase or interest at this time as it says: Negro Health Week should secure a more of health problems and health edu-t. Results of the last annual Health movement which is planned to agencies and groups of people in the deaths, and the increase of vitality adults not only lessen the misery and to the family, community and the well-being, earning capacity and service unity and country." And logic of the foregoing suggestion? proper observance of National Negroated to your neighbor but a personal is a convenient season in which to vision, "sweep clean before your own Rally regarded as one of the cleanest almost during this week to add to its growing a program suggested for our health organizations at Tuskegee Induties of citizenship more important see the fullest co-operation of all as this Health Week. If we are to be segregated because we are sick with colored skins and curled hair, then give us our own nurses to care for us and our own physicians to direct that care. And if we have our own nurses and our own physicians then by all means let us have our own in charge of the entire institutions. Remember it was said that we would not fight under colored officers, and we knocked that lie into a cocked hat, yet the colored officers were gradually displaced or left home so that those places might be given to white men from the South. We wonder if the white Southerner loses his hatred of segregation when he sees a big salary and prestige in sight? We wonder if the white Southerner would turn down the headship of Tuskegee if it were offered to him? We are thinking of these things now and waiting to find if the white man keeps his word and his policy or poses for reasons of greed and pure bunk. When we discover the truth, look out.—Washington Eagle. Urban League Officers Tour North Urban League Officers Tour North President Wood and Secretary Jones Visit Industrial Centers on Good- Will Trip L. Hollingsworth Wood, president of the National Urban League, and Eugene Knickle Jones, its executive secretary, are this week visiting cities of the North and West in the interest of better relations between the races and larger industrial opportunities of Negro working men. They left New York City on March 15 and made their first stop in Pittsburgh, where they visited industrial plants and held conferences with leading white and colored citizens in the interest of the social welfare of Negroes along the lines of the league's improvement program. From Pittsburgh their itinerary comprised Columbus, Ohio; Louisville, St. Louis, Kansas City, Mo.; Kansas City, Kan.; Chicago, Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland and Buffalo. The increasing migration to the North of Negroes from the South and the attendant problems of health, housing, recreation and industry which the new adjustment needs entail render this a most opportune time for such a trip. It is generally conceded that Mr. Wood, though a white man, is most sympathetic with the Negro's claim for equal opportunity and has an unusual understanding of the Negro's point of view in his efforts to attain the higher things of life. Mr. Wood is of Quaker parentage, a lawyer by profession, and is serving on the board of directors of many educational institutions and liberal movements.

Navy Promises Inquiry Into Virgin Islanders' Complaints Navy Promises Inquiry Into Virgin Islanders' Complaints Theodore Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, has written to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People promising investigation of complaints that free speech is being denied the natives of the Virgin Islands. Complaint had been forwarded to Mr. Roosevelt in the following letter written by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "I send you enclosed a clipping from the March 7 issue of The Nation, the same being an article by Arthur Warner on a recent trial of an editor of a newspaper in the Virgin Islands for criticism of local administrative officials and his punishment for such criticism. These facts have been thoroughly corroborated by personal correspondence with prominent individuals in the Virgin Islands. "On the surface this appears to be a violation of the right to free speech among the Virgin Islanders, which I am sure you would not approve. "We are requesting that you be good enough to institute an investigation of these facts and a correction of what appears to be a gross evil. We will appreciate your immediate attention to this matter." The editor punished for criticising local officials is Morenga Bonaparte, sub-editor of the Emancipator, published at St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. PUBLIC TRUSTEE'S SALE. No. 8392 Whereas, Laura A.

Leonard $1,900 and the heirs of Harry Hall $68.75 for inheritance tax wrongfully collected. A debate between members from the mining and from the farming districts over a bill raising the pay of the state commissioner of mines, featured a recent session of the State House of Representatives. The measure raises the salary of the mining commissioner from $1,800 a year to $2,500. A saving of many thousands of dollars in the expense of running the state government penal and educational institutions the next two years is predicted by members of the appropriations committee of the State House of Representatives which is drawing the long appropriation bill for the biennial period. While the bill will be one of the last ones acted upon during the session, the members have been working on it since the General Assembly convened. There is much interest in the Legislature over two measures placing auto transportation companies under the supervision of the Public Utilities Commission and requiring that all who haul passengers or freight for hire carry liability insurance. A measure combining the best points of the two bills now has been drawn. The measure provides that no auto transportation company shall operate a motor vehicle for hire between fixed terminals or over a regular route without first obtaining permission of the utilities commission. The Public Utilities Commission is vested with the power to supervise and regulate all auto transportation companies operating between fixed points and can fix such safety rules as it sees fit. The administration code bill, intended to reorganize the state government by abolishing seventy-two boards and bureaus and consolidating the work under nine departments was defeated in the State House of Representatives. The failure of the bill to pass on second reading leaves it on the table and it will take a two-thirds vote of the House to bring it up for consideration again. Democrats will not attempt to do this as they consider the action taken by the Republicans as final. The administrative code bill, having been defeated, Republicans will rush the redrafting of the Lambert bill and it will be placed on the calendar in a short time. Governor Sweet said that if the Republicans passed the Lambert bill he would consider it with an open mind and that if it appeared that it would accomplish the purposes intended in the right manner he would sign it. The co-operative marketing measure passed the State House of Representatives on second reading by a unanimous vote and without a word of debate. The measure legalizes the formation of co-operative marketing associations and one of the important provisions declares that their contracts shall not be declared in restraint of trade. It was drawn by Aaron Sapho, nationally known co-operative marketing expert, and is similar to a law now on the statute books in seven states. Colorado has a co-operative marketing law at present, but according to experts it is inadequate to care for conditions that now exist. The speedy passage of the measure was a surprise to its chief proponents. Instead of the argument that met the bill in the Senate no one even offered to explain the measure and it passed unanimously. No bill considered by the House at the present session has passed with so few words being spoken. Governor Sweet vetoed H. B. No. 511, which would have provided preferred payment for drafts and checks deposited in other banks in case of a bank failure. In the letter accompanying the veto, Governor Sweet said that he did not think it just to make banks or trust companies preferred creditors over individuals. A warning to Republican members not to hold the Lambert bill too long before reporting it out of committee has been issued by Governor Sweet. "I very much hope that the Legislature will not hand me the Lambert bill at the eleventh hour and expect me to sign or veto it without due deliberation." Governor Sweet sald. S. B. 425, by Senator L. E. Girard, Republican, Boulder, is known as the blue sky law, though legally intended to be known as the securities act, was passed. It is designed to end all stock selling schemes in Colorado and has been declared to be a most effective bill. The main point is that a prospectus must be filed with the secretary of state setting forth all the facts about the firm, money to be paid the promoters, officers, capitalization and the like. Determined opposition to stringent blue sky legislation was shown in the State House of Representatives. A measure creating a speculative securities commission was up for action, and after it had been discussed for an hour it was re-referred to the appropriations committee. Before the measure was re-referred Representative Louis J. Carter of Gilpin county had moved that the enacting clause be stricken. This motion later was withdrawn by him when he asked that the measure be sent to the appropriations committee. JOHN H. HARRIS T. G.

GEORGE W. DAVIS, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, and A. R. Butler, major uniformed rank, K. of P., were in Pueblo this week on business connected with the order. The winter vacation season in our state colleges, extending from Tuesday of last week until Tuesday of this week, brought many of Denver's students home for the period. Among those we noticed were Miss Alberta and Florence Hickman and Miss Myrtle Smith, all of the State Teachers' College at Greeley, Colo. Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, noted writer, lecturer and editor, will be a very busy man during his stay in Denver. Sunday afternoon he will address the Open Forum at Grace church and Monday at 1 p. m. will be the guest of the executive committee of the Denver Branch at a luncheon at the Y. W. C. A. Monday night at Shorter he delivers his famous lecture on "The Black Man in the Wounded World." Rev. Elbert W. Moore, a former pastor of Zion Baptist Church of Denver, but now identified with the American Baptist Home Mission Society of New York, stopped over in Denver last Monday for a visit between trains with his old time friend, J. W. Jackson. He took advantage of his short stay in our city to call upon Gov. W. E. Sweet at the State Capitol and express his appreciation of the strong stand the governor recently took on the rights of citizens. Last Sunday was a gala day in Elkdom and Colony hall was turned into a veritable corral for the antlered herd, as sixteen or more candidates received the branding iron that makes them eligible to the "Hello, Bill," circles from now on. It was a big event, greatly enjoyed by all. Mt. Lodge No. 39, I. B. P. O. E., is now showing rapid growth and rightfully so, as it is one of the very best organizations on earth. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. White of 2501 Marion street, were hosts to Mr. Fred Dillon, a friend of the family, at a birthday surprise party held in their beautiful home last Thursday evening. Mr. Dillon was the recipient of many valuable presents and best wishes for having passed another milestone along the journey of life, and expressed his gratitude for the very kind remembrances. PROFESSOR GEORGE MORRISON entertained last Thursday evening at a "stag" in honor of Messrs. Tom Harris and Joshua Reed of the Georgia Minstrels. Besides the honor guests a number of the other members of the minstrels and the younger set shared the professor's hospitality, and what with music and the sumptuous repast and good fellowship among them, this impromptu event was among the best that Mr. Morrison has given. The guests were very liberal in their congratulations of their host. NEW Y. M. C. A. BUILDING ASSURED FIVE-DAY CAMPAIGN FOR FUNDS PROVES GREAT SUCCESS. Colored Y. M. C. A. workers Wednesday night went over the top in their drive for $5,000 for a new association building with an oversubscription of $7,855.60, the total amount subscribed being $12,855.60. This figure far exceeded the expectations of Y. M. C. A. officials, it is said. Campaign workers were divided into two competitive divisions—the Reds and the Blues. Total subscriptions by the Red division amounted to $6,579.10, while those of the Blue division totaled $6,276.50. Joy reigns supreme in the homes and hearts of every Negro citizen in Denver today as a result of this wonderful campaign. After many years of hard toll, years in which despair, heartaches and disappointments were in plenty. The cherished dream of those who have held strong to the faith that some day Denver would have a Y. M. C. A. building worthy of its colored citizen, is now certain of realization. The great drive for a sufficient money pledge to meet the requirements of a $5,000 gift toward the building by a white supported of the "Y" opened on Friday night of last week with a great deal of enthusiasm, a needed quantity which gained momentum until the final meeting on Wednesday, when the Y. M. C. A. officials were astounded at the splendid results. NOTICE! NOTICE! "To all K.

Uggam, D. D., Minister, 293 East Tynantthi Avenue Services last Sunday evidenced a revival of religious fervor and Christian spirit when, after a long interval, the worshippers and members assembled to renew their allegiance to their new leader and spiritual adviser, the Rev. Dr. C. H. Uggam. The new minister was introduced to the congregation by Dr. Williams of the presbytery and board of managers and he was well received. His address for the day dwell on "The Gospel of Jesus Christ" and "Service," the same being listened to with rapt attention. The reverend gentleman is scholarly and dignified, and from his experience in the work is the logical man to restore this church to its former standing in the community.

The executive board of Colored Women's Clubs of Colorado and jurisdiction is hereby called to meet in Denver, Colo., April 5, 1923, at 10 a.m., in the parlor of the club home 2357 Clarkson street. HELEN GATEWOOD, Chairman. The great building drive for which the people have been waiting for and praying for several years came to an official close last Wednesday night in a great banquet at Phyllis Wheatley branch of the Y. W. C. A. In spite of the inclement weather all the team workers were in their places at the respective tables. When the generals of the two divisions called for the roll great enthusiasm prevailed from the very outset, because of the keen rivalry between the "Reds" and the "Blues," which had been going on all during the drive, scarcely could the workers take time to finish their dinners, so eager were they to get their final report. When Secretary DeFrantz called on the generals for the reports of their respective divisions the "Reds" were found to have $6,578.10 and the "Blues" $6,276.50, the grand total of $12,855.60. Of this amount, $4,005.10 was in cash. A special feature of the evening's report was the amount of cash that had been paid and turned in. This the officials declared had never been proportionately equaled in any drive heretofore held in any other city. A tribute of appreciation was given to Secretary DeFrantz by the committee of management in the form of a handsome traveling bag. Thanks were also expressed to the officers of the Y. W. C. A. and their force who so ably handled the dinner services; likewise to the entire press of the city, both white and colored, which so fully and generously reported the progress of the drive from day to day and from week to week. The meeting tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon, which will be held at the Zion Baptist church, is expected to equal the great mass meeting held at Shorter church last Sunday afternoon, at which Governor Sweet and Secretary DeFrantz were the principal speakers. The meeting will be known as the "winding-up meeting," at which time all the workers will bring in their reports of the subscriptions which they have gleaned from persons who could not be reached during the days of the drive or lack of time. Not only will all the team workers be present, but all the contributors and the entire public are likewise invited so as to hear the very final report of the great drive. The meeting will begin at 3:30 promptly. C. M. E. CHURCH NOTES. Reverend C. E. Chapman, Minister. Notwithstanding the rather unusually inclement weather which fell upon Denver and this section unexpectedly last week, there were the faithful few who were at their post of duty as usual, and everything went out as though they were all present.

Two very splendid services were had during the day. Rev. C. E. Chapman was the speaker both morning and evening hours. The morning hour theme was "Being About the Father's Business." The evening hour theme was "The Master's Ment." These services were pregnant with the usual interest and inspiration as well, and were enjoyed by all who were present. Tomorrow (Sunday) 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. Rev. C. E.

Cabbage, Cauliflower, Kale, Brussels Sprouts and Kohlrabi Are Among the Cottage Garden Favorites. These Popular Vegetables Are Usually Given Good Position. BUGS AND WORMS GARDEN ENEMIES Sprayers and Dusters in Demand From Time the Seed Goes Into Ground. Insect immigrants from foreign countries added to the list of those that are natives of America have very materially increased the worries, both of the home gardeners and the commercial truck growers. When it comes to conducting the fight against the inroads of these pests, the home gardener is often at a decided disadvantage, because he does not have the sprayers, the dusters and the other equipment. There are the so-called biting and chewing insects which eat the plants, sucking insects that suck the sap of the plants, worms that work A man is digging a hole in the ground. under the ground and bugs that work on the tops of the plants, moths that fly by night, and almost every conceivable form of trouble maker. Fortunately for the gardener, the entomologist has worked out the habits of these garden enemies and has been able to prescribe a poison or a repellent or some means of perfecting the crops from the pests. Every home gardener should prepare to fight insects at the very beginning of the season. Big, Juicy Leaves Supply Splendid Vegetable for Boiled Dinners, Salads. Corned buffalo hump and cabbage probably served as many a cave man's Sunday dinner. The cabbage has been esteemed as a vegetable for 1,843 years that we know of, a ripe old age. Buried somewhere in the centuries of its history is the head of the cabbage and the reason thereof. We are indebted to Pliny the elder, the famous Roman scientist, who wrote the first "natural history," for the earliest accurate mention of the cabbage as a vegetable. He stopped writing in 79 A. D., when he lost his life in the destruction of Pompeii. The cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprout, the kales and kohlrabi probably are all descended from a wild plant native to the sea cliffs of western and southern Europe. Its Latin name is Brassica oleracea. In its native state it has a loose rosette of large, thick leaves for the storage of surplus moisture it may collect when it rains, and these leaves unlike the cabbage of the garden, are long and deeply lobed. They vary in color from green to red. Pliny described several types of cabbage and it is altogether likely, according to the best authorities, that cabbages were in general use before the Aryans migrated westward. It was probably a cave man's favorite. Moved from the meager sustenance of the dry cliffs whereon it dwelt and planted in rich, deeper soil, the cab bage grew enormously, developed a stem and by the mere speed of its growth developed a head. The cauflower probably tried to make leaves and flowers at the same time and compromised with the white "curd" which is a thickened, flattened overgrown flower cluster. The history of the development of the cabbage gives the key to its culture. The richer the soil and the faster it is kept growing, the larger and solider the heads. It must be grown fast to head fast. If through lack of fertility or drought its growth is checked, there is either no real head or a loose, very inferior one, the whole strength of the plant going to develop such leaves as it had produced before the check. The Chinese cabbage is an entirely different species from the common cabbage and its brothers. Cabbages and their relatives are known as Brassicas to the English gardening experts, that being their Latin name, as choux to the French and as kohls or knut to the Germans. SWEET PEAS FINE FOR THE BOUQUETS Everybody wants sweet peas. No annual gives more beautiful flowers for cutting, and this plant is particularly useful for cutting. It makes a beautiful display for a time, but its real value is to provide bouquets for the house. No one can have sweet peas without giving them an extra start. They will not endure hot, dry weather and flourish. Consequently they must be planted early. If the ground is workable in March they should be put in, planting them deeply, say about two inches. It is much surer and safer to plant them in pots or boxes or in a cold frame for an early start. The paper flower pots of small size which can be very cheaply purchased, or the paper drinking cups which can be had at a small outlay are ideal for starting the individual plants, pricking holes in the water cups for drainage. It is a good plan to have some light sticks seven or eight inches long if they must be kept indoors or under glass for some time upon which the tiny plants may start to climb. Otherwise they become hopelessly entangled. Sweet pea growers are with great difficulty weaned from the habit of thick planting of the seed, much the same as with the garden pea. The idea of spacing the individual plants WROGN WAY TO PLANT SWEET PEAS IN CLUMPS. SWEET PEA PLANT READY TO TRANS- PLANT OUTDOORS.

These little pots may be placed in a cold frame for an early start, or started in the kitchen window in limited quantities. Dryness tends to make the vine an easy victim of red spiders, the whole plant turning gray and dying. CIVIL WAR VETS FEW IN CONGRESS MEN WHO WERE IN WORLD WAR HOWEVER, ARE BEING ELECTED IN INCREASING NUMBERS. Thirty-Three of Them Were Members of the Lower House During Session Just Closed—Some Notable Friendships Between Former Foes. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—In the lower house of the Sixty-seventh congress which passed away on March 4 there were only two members who saw service in the Civil war—H. Z. Osborne of California, Union veteran, and C. M. Stedman of North Carolina, Confederate veteran. Representative Osborne died recently and at a memorial service in the house a eulogy of him was spoken by the one-time opponent in war, Mr. Stedman. In the senate of the United States today there are two veterans of the war between the states, both of them having seen service in the Union army—Knute Nelson of Minnesota and Francis E. Warren of Wyoming. Veteran Warren wears a Medal of Honor for a gallant deed which was done under circumstances "over and above the call of duty." It was not so many years ago that virtually half of the membership of each house of congress was composed of veterans of the Civil war. In the North and in the South both, there was a feeling apparently that those who had served well in war would serve well in peace; and then, of course, there was the added incentive of giving the reward of office to men who had been willing to risk their lives for a cause. World War Veterans Coming In. Session by session for a good many years the number of veterans of the Civil war in the two houses has been decreasing, until now it has almost reached the vanishing point. Veterans of the World war, however, are coming into congress, 36 of them being members of the congress which has just closed its last session. There are three World war veterans in the senate and 33 in the house. The three senators are David A. Reed of Pennsylvania, Davies Elkins of West Virginia, and Smith W. Brookhart of Iowa. Some persons have asserted the American people are less likely now than in the years that are past to consider war service as a qualification or as a reason for posts in the civil service. It would seem, however, that the fact that within two years of the war's closing, 36 veterans were elected to congress would show that the belief soldiers will not be preferred, for civil service is not particularly well based. It is the feeling in Washington that as the years go on the number of veterans of the World war holding places in congress will increase until finally in the course of events they must begin to decline until the day of vanishing shall come because of the toll which must be paid to nature. It is not long since the last Confederate veteran senator dropped from the service and dropped in fact from the scenes of earth. It seems only the other day that three Confederate veterans of both war and peace merit, Daniel of Virginia and Morgan and Pettus of Alabama, were holding their places in the upper house of congress and were doing daily battle for legislation in which they believed. Daniel had been badly wounded in action, Senators Pettus and Morgan went through the war unwounded, but they both saw gallant active service. Friends of North and South. Through the years there has been manifest in both house and senate the warmest friendships between northern veterans on the one hand and Confederate veterans on the other. The bond of service seemed to be strong even though the friends served on opposite sides of the conflict. Senator Nelson of Minnesota and Senator Daniel of Virginia, one a Union and the other a Confederate soldier, were the strongest personal friends, although it is doubtful if the two ever voted the same way in any political or legislative contest. Factional and political lines seemingly do not divide friendship's estates. One of the remarkable senate personal friendships was that existing between Senator Tillman of South Carolina and Senator Chandler of New Hampshire, one time secretary of the navy. Chandler was a typical Yankee and Tillman was of the South. These two men were utterly unlike in most of their ways, but they formed an attachment for each other almost as soon as Tillman arrived in Washington, and their close personal friendship lasted until Tillman died. In the house of representatives Champ Clark, who was southern born and a Democrat of Democrats, and Gen. Charles Grosvenor of Ohio, a Union soldier, struck up a friendship which was remarkable for its tenacity. On the floor of the house Clark and Grosvenor used to hammer each other verbally in argument until all the spectators in the gallery who didn't know thought they would come to blows. A little later the two would be seen walking out of the house, each with an arm around the other's shoulder. Cody Memorial Criticalized. Lieut. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, United States army, retired, who saw long years of Indian fighting, has just paid a tribute to the memory of Buffalo Bill, who through many campaigns in the West, was his scout. General Miles, however, has declined to express any opinion as to the beauty and effectiveness of the memorial statue of Buffalo Bill, which will be erected near Cody, Wyo. There has been a good deal of rather sharp comment on the work of the sculptor, criticism being particularly directed at the horse upon which the scout is mounted. The critics say the animal is in an unnatural position. Washington is rather content to wait until plainsmen definitely have passed on the horse before accepting at their face value opinions which have been passed by eastern critics. Everybody in Washington remembers the row that was raised in the country over the eagle which appeared on one of the gold coins of the United States some years ago. The bird was declared to be unnatural and to be wearing "pantalettes." Ornithologists quickly came to the rescue of the eagle and its designer, saying that a full-fledged American eagle wears pantalettes of feathers, a fact which did not seem to be known to the critics. The position of the eagle generally was declared grotesque, yet ornithologists said it was perfect. So possibly it may be with Colonel Cody's horse. Their Last Campaign Together. The writer of this went through the last Indian campaign in which Buffalo Bill participated. It was the campaign against the Sloux in southwestern Dakota in December, 1890, and January, 1891, in course of which were fought the battles of Wounded Knee and the Mission and several skirmishes. General Miles was in command in the field, having left his headquarters in Chicago to take command of the troops. He wired Buffalo Bill, asking him to proceed to the front with him. They were together in that Indian campaign for something like five weeks. Then they parted, and their last plains adventure as companions was over. Somewhere in the United States probably somebody can be found who still possesses one of the striking pictures which was used to advertise the Wild West show. This poster, or rather a picture intended for a shop window display, represented General Miles and Buffalo Bill on horseback, on a high point of land from which they could overlook the hostile Sloux camp. It was a most striking picture. Blocs Cause Anxiety. The experiences of the last session of congress have made leaders of both political parties in Washington wonder what is going to happen in the future if the present indications of "government by blocs" shall reach lasting reality. Party lines frequently were wiped out in the house during the last session of the Sixty-seventh congress. The voting on many occasions was by groups which took no cognizance at all of party labels. Some of the leaders actually are apprehensive that anything like celerity in legislation will be impossible in future congresses unless there can be a return in some way to groups of two parties instead of to groups of a dozen blocs. In the Sixty-seventh congress there was an ex-service men's bloc, a workingman's bloc, a dry bloc, a wet bloc, a big business bloc, an agricultural bloc and a radical bloc, although the members of the last named bloc prefer the word progressive to radical as descriptive of their efforts. There does not seem to be any thought in Washington that party designations will disappear, but the fear is strong that it will be almost impossible eventually to get anything resembling party legislation through congress unless so many compromises are made to suit this bloc and that bloc that the legislation as originally intended will have lost all semblance of itself. Every Bloc Has Its Headquarters. Virtually every one of the blocs which have been named maintains some kind of headquarters in Washington. The men charged with the work of keeping track of legislation in which the various blocs are interested are on the ground all the time. They are called legislative agents, although another and older name for them is lobbyists. Every one of the blocs carries on propaganda of some kind or other. It seeks to reach the press of the country with its views and it succeeds generally because the men charged with the propaganda work know the value of news and they succeed frequently in creating news which must be printed because it is news. Before the fascist movement reached its climax of success in Italy the Italian legislative chamber was composed of blocs. There were as many groups as there have been this winter in the lower house of congress. Legislation in Italy was haphazard, and frequently the results were compromises which made the original measures look like patchwork quilts. Decimal Clock. Recent discussions concerning the decimal system of weights and measures render more interesting a curious paragraph reprinted in the Journal des Debats from its issue of August 22, 1806, when Napoleon I was at the height of his power. It states that there were two dials on the principal building of the Tullieries, one counting the hours by twelve and the other by ten. Taking advantage of the need for repairs, the dial divided into ten hours was destroyed, since, as the report goes on to say, "it had served for no purpose, except to show to what point the mania for innovation was capable of mounting in opposition to the settled habits of all times and all peoples." --- THE COLORADO STATESMAN [Emblem] The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and gress; a faithful mirror their wants, their hopes, r best aspiration.

There is something unusually appetizing about a good, steaming soup, whether served as the first course of a meal or as a whole meal in itself. The South has its gumbos, and Maine its chowders, fulfilling the same purpose. Ocean travelers expect pea soup as a part of ship routine; they look for barley broth in Scotland, pot-au-feu in France, minnestrone soup in Italy, bean or lentil soup near the Rhine. In every household the extra cooking and dishwashing involved in serving soup course is compensated for by the enjoyment of the family, the economy of using materials often wasted, and the reduction possible in the amount of food served for other courses. Value of Soups Varies. Value of Soups Varies. The food value of soups varies with the ingredients. The United States Department of Agriculture points out that the food value of a milk soup is higher than that of a water or clear soup. Milk soups are especially good for children at lunch time, for business people, and others who wish something warm, nutritious, but not too "hearty." Soups made with the water in which vegetables have been cooked contain substances which are too nutritious to be thrown away, though the amount of them is small. Soups made from meat stock contain meat extractives which are believed to stimulate digestion, but which do not wholly take the place of meat. Concentrated broths made for invalids from selected meat are more nutritious than ordinary stock, but not, as a rule, economical to serve at the family table. The soups served at dinner should be made from a different kind of meat from that in the main course. For example, chicken broth goes better with beef than with chicken cooked in some other way because the latter combination would over-emphasize one flavor at a single meal. --- TELEPHONE SERVICE WITHOUT MUCH COST Operation of Switchboard Is One of Most Importance. Where Regular Operator Is Required on Full Time It Is Well to Rent a Separate Room or Building With Living Quarters. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) One of the problems connected with getting telephone service in rural communities, where frequently a small mutual company must be formed to have such service at all, is the matter of switchboard service. There are several ways of managing this necessary function without undue cost, if the line is not adapted to automatic or mechanical switching. In a new Farmers' Bulletin, 1245, Telephone Companies, just issued by the United A nurse The Telephone Is Indispensable in the Rural Home. States Department of Agriculture, the suggestion is made that rural line switchboards may be located in private homes or stores if the volume of business does not justify renting or owning offices or buildings. In the case of a switchboard in a private home, the owner of the house is paid a small rent, and some member of the family is made operator and paid for the service which can be done while carrying on regular housework. In case of an emergency a night call will always receive attention. When the switchboard is placed in a store instead of in a home, it costs but little, as someone has to be on duty in the store all day, but night calls cannot receive attention except by special arrangement. When a regular operator is required Meat stock may be a blend by cooking several different kinds of meat bones together in the soup pot. Soups From Legumes. Soups from dried legumes such as peas or beans contain a great deal of nourishing material and need but little additional meat to make them the main dish for a meal. Some of the Chinese and Italian soups which are meals in themselves are made substantial by considerable quantities of noodles or macaroni in some form as well as a little finely shredded or chopped meat and various vegetables, such as carrots, turnips, cabbage, or, in the case of Chinese cooking, various eastern vegetables. Frankfurters cut up in pea soup make a sufficiently substantial dish for a lunch, with crackers or bread. Fish chowders, clam or oyster stews, as a rule, contain so much nourishment that they constitute the main hearty dish for a family meal. Vegetable and other left-overs in too small quantities to warm up separately may often be combined to produce a good, "filling" soup, with slight expenditure for new materials. Such substantial soup is not so suitable for the first course of an otherwise hearty dinner as a clear one that proves chiefly an appetizing flavor along with warmth and extractives to stimulate digestion for what is to follow. The practice of keeping a soup pot on hand to receive bones, and the water in which rice, potatoes, and other suitably flavored vegetables have been cooked, alds in making a little go a long way. The soup pot should be kept cold, however, except when actually cooking, and its contents should be sterilized by boiling at least once a day. Whenever possible, and especially in warm weather, it is wiser to use up all the soup on hand than to have some of it left over to spoil. on full time most companies will do well to rent a separate room or building. A number of mutual companies have built their central exchange buildings large enough to include living quarters for the operators. Thus instead of moving the board to the home of the operator, as is necessary when a change in operators is made, they move the operator to the board. Rent of living quarters is considered part of the operator's pay, and so, with little additional cost to the company over the rent of an office only, permanent headquarters are established for telephone operations. All companies reporting this plan have found it satisfactory. DISH FOR LUNCH OR SUPPER Recipe Given for Making Baked Vegetable Omelet or Souffle—Bacon Gives Flavor. Drain cooked vegetables — peas, beans, cowpeas, carrots, spinach, or any preferred vegetables—to make one cupful of thick vegetable pulp when mashed or put through a sieve. Make a thick sauce by blending quarter cupful of fat with quarter cupful of flour and adding one cupful of liquid, which may be whole or skim milk, cream, meat stock, or the water in which vegetables have been cooked. Beat three egg yolks, and combine with the sauce and vegetable pulp. Add seasoning of salt, pepper, onion juice, and one of the following: Finely chopped parsley, chives, ham, one-eighth teaspoonful curry powder. Bacon used in making the sauce gives a good flavor. Beat the three egg whites till very stiff, fold into the souffle mixture and bake in a buttered baking dish in a slow oven until firm. Other vegetables may be served around the souffle. All Around the House Coarse sugar is one of the causes of heavy or hard cakes. Pudding cloths will wash more easily if borax is added to the hot water. Before tinting colored goods strain the dye and the material will color evenly. Carrots, turnips and parsnips may be kept fresh by covering them with sand or earth and keeping them in a dark place. Before putting knives away rub the blades with mutton fat or vaselline and roll them in brown paper. This will keep them from rusting. * * * When brushing a mud-stained garment, brush from top to bottom, not against the warp of the material. This is most important if the clothes are to look as fresh as they did originally. The KITCHEN CABINET (© 1922, Western Newspaper Union.) Don't think people judge your generosity by the amount of advice you give away. ORANGE WAYS One or more oranges a day will keep the average individual in good health. Stralned orange juice is an invaluable tonic, and may be given a three - months-old baby, if given between feedings. Orange juice is rich in vitamins, juice is an invaluable tonic, and may be given to three - months-old baby, if given be tween feedings Orange juice is rich in vitamins the growth-producing food principle. A delicious pie is prepared by filling a baked shell with oranges cut in small pieces and mixed with sugar; cover with a merengue and brown quickly in a hot oven. Serve cold. As a simple salad there is no more appetizing one than sliced oranges with a French dressing. Cover the fruit with boiling water and let stand ten minutes, then drain and cover with cold water ten minutes. The peel will then come off easily, leaving the fruit free from the white inner peel. Slice in rounds; arrange in overlapping slices on lettuce with French dressing. Use three tablespoonfuls of oil with one of lemon juice, salt and cayenne and a teaspoonful of powdered sugar. Beat well with an egg-beater to blend the ingredients; chill and serve. Nobody will refuse a dish of plain sliced oranges, sprinkled lightly with sugar; accompany with cake or cookies as a dessert. Ambrosia, an old-fashioned dish, is sliced oranges, sprinkled in layers with sugar and grated coconut. Served in a glass dish, it is both attractive and tasty. In serving oranges in any baked mixture, like custard or fruit puddings, the fruit is apt to become bitter because of overheating. The fruit is best served very lightly heated or perfectly fresh. Orange shortcake is a great favorite. Prepare a rich biscuit dough, bake in layers or butter one layer and lay on another before baking, then split, butter well and heap up with cut-up oranges mixed to sweeten with sugar, allowing the juice to soak into the cake. Serve at once while the shortcake is hot. Grated orange rind makes delicious flavoring for cakes, frostings and sauces; the juice used with powdered sugar a most dainty licing for cakes, and the juice and rind a delightful pudding sauce for a dainty cottage pudding. A small glass of unstrained orange juice is a good drink for the aged, refreshing and quite as valuable for the aged as for the small baby. The orange juice acts on the bowels and keeps them in healthy activity. Cease to lament for that thou canst not help. And study help for that, that thou lamentest.—Shakespeare.

Mix well, let cook until smooth and add three-quarters of a pint of any clear soup. Bring to the boiling point, add a sliced tomato, season well; simmer for twenty minutes, then strain and serve hot. Cinnamon Apples.—These apples are very pretty to look at and good to eat. Core and pare greening apples and boll in the following sirup until soft: One cupful of sugar, one cupful of water boiled together five minutes, add a half cupful of cinnamon candles (called in some places "red hots"), let stand in the sirup until the apples are a good color. These are especially good for a dinner, serving one with a slice of baked ham on the dinner plate. Raisin and Buttermilk Bread.—Take four cupfuls of flour, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, one teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of soda, five tablespoonfuls of shortening, two eggs, two teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar, one cupful of seedless raisins and buttermilk to make a soft batter. Mix, roll out and bake in four pieces in greased pans in a hot oven for twenty-five minutes. Raisin Macaroons.—Take two cupfuls of toasted cornflakes, one cupful of sugar, one teaspoonful of vanilla, two egg whites and one cupful of seedless raisins. Beat the egg whites until stiff, add the sugar gradually, then the flakes, vanilla and raisins. A dash of salt and a few chopped nuts improve them. Bake on greased sheets, dropping from a teaspoon. This recipe makes thirty macaroons. Cheese With Olives.—Put one-quarter of a pound of Roquefort and one-quarter of a pound of cottage cheese into a bowl, moisten with cream or condensed milk and mix well. Chop one small bottle of stuffed olives, add salt, pepper and a few drops of onion juice. Mix well and use as a cheese dish or as filling for sandwiches. Stale cake, cookies or lady fingers may be used to line the molds for gelatin pudding. Nellie Maxwell The man who frets at worldly strife Grows sallow, sour and thin.

Bake until the apples are tender, using one-quarter of a cupful of water. Lamb Steak.—Take one pound of lamb steak, cut in small pieces; one cupful of tomatoes, a teaspoonful of salt, one and one-half cupfuls of cooked rice, one green pepper. Brown the lamb in the fat; add the other ingredients, pepper chopped, and cook slowly until the meat is tender. Season highly, pour into a baking pan; add one cupful of peas and heat for fifteen minutes in a hot oven. Fruit Imperial.—Arrange on rounds of cake halves of peaches. Cook together one-quarter of a cupful of water, one-half cupful of brown sugar, two tablespoonfuls of flour, and, when thick, add a tablespoonful of butter and one and one-half cupfuls of peach srup; then add one-half cupful of raisins. Arrange the peaches on the cake and pour over the fruit srup. Serve hot or cold. Peppers Stuffed With Raisins.—Parboli six medium-sized peppers in salt water four to five minutes, after removing the tops and seeds. Fill with two cupfuls of breadcrumbs, one-half of the chopped pepper tops, walnut meats and minced ham, three-quarters of a cupful of raisins, salt and butter to taste. Molten with soup stock or water and bake, setting the peppers in gem pans in a little water. Bake one hour. If you would do something worth while, first realize you must be something. You must be able to think, plan, and create; not be a mere echo of what some one else has done.—Lloyd. THINGS THAT HELP A pair of scissors or shears is an essential article of kitchen equipment. They will mince raisins, parsley or other greens. They are easier to clean than the meat grinder or chopping bowl and are useful in many ways. WASHINGTON For everyday housework a neat broad-heeled shoe is necessary for good health. The disposition is thrown out of balance by the high, small heel, which is so uncomfortable, and even dangerous. A long bottle will answer for a rolling pin if one is where the real one is absent. Rub a little fat into the skins of sweet or Irish potatoes before baking. The skins will peel with very little waste of the good potato. Dip the broom each week into the hot suds left from the laundry tubs; this will keep it stiff and straight, as well as sanitary. Save the rice water to use in starching light dresses; it will make them look like new. Add a little bluing to the rice water if the dresses are dark. Iron the tablecloth in different folds occasionally, to give them a more even wear. If folded three times lengthwise before any cross-folding the hump in the center will be avoided. A cupful of hot tea is a good stimulant when very tired. Never eat a hearty meal when physically exhausted. Any carpet or rug will be improved in appearance by a bath with a cloth wrung from hot water with a little kerosene. Of course the rugs should be freed from all dust possible before this treatment. Turn the two-piece matress often to have them wear evenly and keep level. Writing on the train is quite easy if the body is held firmly and the elbows pressed into the body just above the blips. Brush the oiled mop with a whisk-broom instead of beating it and it will last longer. It is the beating to clean the mops which ruins them. Sprinkle with talcum powder the inside of new shoes when first wearing them; it helps to make them more comfortable during the "breaking-in" process.

The --- sleeves, pockets and bottom of the blouse are bound with white ribbon. The variety of hats for summer is endless and greatly varied as to size and shape. Here is a group of small hats for summer wear, that manage to reflect the season as clearly as their wide-brimmed lacy rivals. The group includes a tailored model and four dressy hats. The tailored hat of satin hair cloth in beige looks very Frenchy with odd quill of suede to match, thrust daring THE WEEKLY PRESS ly out at one side. Just below it at the left a taffeta silk hat is wreathed with an abundance of cherries made of the silk. This reflects the season made in any of the lovely colors in which plain and changeable taffeta is shown. A similar hat is shown with a wreath of raisins made of the silk. At the right a hair braid hat has a collar of narrow velvet ribbons in three colors, twisted together. There is an odd flower trim at each side giving it the style of a Dutch bonnet, and many ends of velvet ribbon fall from the left side. A draped hat of richly 1 embroidered cliffon is united at the edge with a plain satin binding. Nothing quite equals for elegance the beautiful black hats that midsummer always brings in. One of the of hair braid, trimmed with tiers of malines folds, is a fitting climax to this group of exquisite millinery. Huge silk and velvet roses are posed at one side toward the back.
