ANTI-LYNC
Will Reintroduce His Measure
Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri, who introduced the Anti-Lynching Bill bearing his name in Congress, will tour the middle West and the Pacific coast states, beginning May 1, to arouse public sentiment in behalf of the bill which he Intends to introduce in the next Congress, it was announced today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, which is sponsoring the tour.
Representative Dyer will begin his speaking tour in Kansas City, proceeding via Omaha, Denver, Colorado Springs and Salt Lake City to California, and returning through the states of Oregon and Washington by a northern route to Chicago.
Mr. Dyer's Anti-Lynching Bill was passed by a vote of 230 to 119 in the House of Representatives and was favorably reported by the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate. A filibuster conducted by Southern Democratic senators led to its abandonment by the Republican majority. In announcing his tour Representative Dyer said:
"I am going before the country on the issue of lynching, a national shame which for thirty-five years the states have failed to end and the federal government has failed to attack.
"The Anti-Lynching Bill which I introduced in Congress and which was passed by a vote of almost 2 to 1 in the House of Representatives, was stopped in the Senate by the filibuster of senators from those states in which most lynchings occur.
"The federal anti-lynching bill is not sectional. It applies to every part of the country. It assumes that an atrocity in America is a national disgrace whether it occurs in Georgia, or Texas, or Oregon, or Illinois.
"I shall reintroduce this measure in the next Congress. It will be reintroduced, I believe, in the Senate. Meanwhile I shall acquaint as many American citizens as possible with the horrors of lynching in America, and with the provisions of the bill designed to end those horrors.
"We shall then see if a small minority of men from any group of states can block an expression of the will of the people of this nation."
Urban League Plans to Help Migrants
Urban League Plans to Help Migrants
The National Urban League has issued a statement following the recent visit to Urban League centers by L. Hollingsworth Wood, President of the National Urban League and Eugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Secretary of the League to the effect that the local Leagues are being called upon for strenuous action because of the increased demand for Negro workers and the large migration of colored people to northern centers. In the Pittsburgh district if housing facilities were available ten thousand workers could be used. In varying degrees the same is true of Newark, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago,

The League is organizing in local communities for receiving, placing and housing migrants. A special National Industrial Bureau will soon be organized and new Urban League centers are planned for many cities which will receive an appreciable influx of the Negro population.
In financial support of the program of the League interested colored citizens are contributing liberally, as results of a recent trip by the Extension Secretary of the League, J. R. E. Lee, to Durham, N. C., Richmond, Va., and other cities indicate.
In preparation for the increased social work that is contemplated for the cities in which Leagues are located, plans are on foot for the training of additional workers. Already fifty applications for the League's annual fellowships at schools of social work have been received and there is still time for persons interested in entering the field of social work to send in their application to the League's headquarters, 127 East 23rd Street, New York City. College graduates, teachers and public workers generally are invited to apply. The competitive examination for applicants will be held the last part of April.
"Aunt" Mary, Who Helped Eliza in Her Flight North, Dead
"Aunt" Mary, Who Helped Eliza in Her Flight North, Dead
Led Fugitive Slave to Banks of Ohio and Watched Her Cross Blocks of
Columbus, Ohio, April 13.—Aunt Mary Wright, who helped Eliza and her baby to the banks of the Ohio river, where she watched them cross by Eliza leaping from one block of ice to the other to escape the bonds of slavery, is dead.
"Aunt Mary," as she was affectionately known, died here at the Old Folks' Home, 155 North Twenty-first Street, on Friday, March 30. Her funeral services were held in St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, Tuesday, April 3. Burial was at Green Lawn cemetery.
"Aunt Mary" was part Indian, her mother's father having been Chief Black Hawk. Her grandmother's sister was the wife of the famous "Uncle Tom" of literary fame and dramatic prominence. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, abolitionist and author of "Uncle Torn's Cabin," at one time came to this city and spent the whole day interviewing "Aunt Mary," who was also an active member of the famous "underground railway" through which many slaves were brought from the South into the North.
She came into book prominence through her assistance to Eliza and the baby. She was also well acquainted with Abraham Lincoln, having been a slave in the home where he boarded when a young man.
"Aunt Mary" was the first resident in what is now known as the Old Folks' Home here. She was well known throughout the city. She was born in Danville, Ky., in 1837. Her death was due to infirmities.

Porters Force $30,000 Back Pay From Railroads
Court Holds That They Are Due Same Pay for Same Work White Employes
Washington, D. C., April 13.—The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has just rendered on opinion that is of great financial benefit to eighteen railroad porters on the Southern Railway System. The case at issue was that of Arthur Dick vs. Jabes C. Davis, statutory agent of the United States.
On the 31st day of March, 1918, William Gibbs McAdoo, then director general of railroads, by virtue of an act of Congress and an order of the President of the United States, issued an order to the effect that on and after June 1, 1918, race men employed as firemen, trainmen and switchmen should be paid the same rate of wages as white men working in the same capacity.
The porters of many of the lines running South were made to do this kind of work, but the companies, except the Norfolk & Western, refused to pay race men the same wages, by more than half, that was paid to white men. All the porters on the R. F. & P. R. R., the Southern, the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line accepted a compromise with their companies and were paid only one-fourth of the sum due them, except eighteen men on the Southern railroad, who stood out and demanded their full pay.
Under the persistent and earnest demand of Thomas E. Dudley, a porter, of 1624 Florida Ave., N.W., who led the fight, the matter was carried to the court. At the trial in the Municipal Court the porters lost their case by a verdict of the jury. They at once got a writ of error in the Court of Appeals and that court has just reversed the judgment of the lower court.
The eighteen porters who maintained and prosecuted their claim will get about $1,700 each. Arthur Dick, the plaintiff, was used as the representative of the men who refused the compromise. It was agreed by the attorneys on both sides that his was to be the test case.
The hundreds of porters who refused to follow Dudley and Dick in this fight and accepted what the railroads offered them have lost three-fourths of what was due them.

Negroes. Are Killed, Homes Burned in Florida, Says Letter to N. A. A. C. P.
A letter to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, quotes the Rev. O. H. Edenburgh, a survivor of the recent burnings and mob outbreaks in Florida as saying that a number of towns were burned and that the burning lasted for a day and a half, educated Negroes being the heaviest sufferers from the mob. Rev. Edenburgh is quoted in part as follows:
"Stanley Town, a town of more than 1,000 colored inhabitants with only one white man who lived with a colored wife, was totally destroyed with the exception of the postoffice, and everybody except those who escaped were killed. Here, he said, the Negroes owned stores, bank, and everything just as any other town.
"In these towns, he said, every preacher was whipped, being accused of influencing his people along lines different from what the white people thought wasn't best for colored people to aspire and know—instilling them with new ideas along educational lines and educational conditions and unity—saying that they were growing haughty and rebellious.
"In one town they whipped the presiding elder, Will Burton, by tying his hands and tying him to a tree that he had planted in his yard, which had grown up to be a large tree, three men whipping him with a blacksnake whip until the whip gave out. Elder Burton was rushed to a hospital in Atlanta where he was at the time this Mr. Edenburgh (was). The white people were running the colored people out of this place, and Elder Burton asked the governor for a state militia for a protection of the Negro. So they heard of it and come to his house and asked his wife for him, but was told he had not returned home. They made several similar visits before he came, telling his wife their intention and assuring her they were not going to bother her nor anything she possessed, but only wanted Burton. So when he came home the white people did as above described.
"Elder Burton was said to be worth more than $55,000 and had been married to this young wife about a year, and had just bought her one of the most beautiful homes from some white man in the city—paying cash for it; and a few weeks prior to this time had presented his wife with a beautiful thousand dollar car, paying cash for it; but they did not bother anything but Elder Will Burton, who survived enough to be taken to Atlanta after a blacksnake whip was used up on his back.
"When the white people were busy trying to run the Negro away, some tried to make preparation and leave, but were prohibited during the mob and conflagration by day and Night Riders by night."
$438,848, and the bulk was left to his brother, Arthur M. Mitchell; $5,000 each was left to the American Museum of Natural History, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Historical Society, and St. Mary's Church at Tuxedo, N. Y. Sums of from $1,000 to $10,000 were left to friends and relatives.
WEST AFRICANS CONTENTED; SOUTH AFRICA BRITAIN'S PROBLEM, SAYS WRITER
BASUTOLAND GOVERNS ITSELF
John H. Harris, student of British colonial affairs, writing on "Britain's Negro Problem" in the Atlantic Monthly for April, declares that Britain's problem is not on the west coast of Africa, but in South Africa.
"British West Africa is contented," he says, "first, because the natives own the land; secondly, because there is very little race prejudice; and finally, because considerable effort has been made to meet the demands of the ever-increasing ranks of educated Negroes."
British South Africa, says Mr. Harris, is in violent contrast.
"The 'color bar' is the major problem of South Africa, and it excites bitterness in three main directions, either of which must, sooner or later, bring South African statesmen to the very position which confronted Abraham Lincoln, when he made his famous speech in June, 1858. South Africa cannot secure permanent peace while she pursues a racial, economic, and political policy, half-slave and half-free."
The cause of the recent rebellion in South Africa was the "color bar," according to Mr. Harris, and the struggle he thinks will go on until South Africa has become wholly slave or wholly free.
Self government by natives has met with much success in Basutoland, he continues. "The major Negro problem, after all, is that of franchise and self-government. Great Britain prides herself, and not without reason, over the Basutoland experiment. Basutoland is a tiny little state—the Switzerland of South Africa—measuring only 10,000 square miles and occupied by 400,000 of quite the most virile and advanced natives south of the equator. . . . The Basutos owe their unique position to their great ruler, the late King Mohesh, easily the greatest statesman that South Africa has produced. Basutoland was annexed by Great Britain at the request of Mohesh, and stands alone in the fact that it was later disannexed, and is now governed by a native parliament or Pitso, guided by English advisers. The Basutoland government levies its own taxes and, in fact, performs all the functions of a modern administration. White men are permitted to visit Basutoland, and, in some cases, to reside within the territory; but none may own land."

Cafon City.—The parole of Harold F. Henwood, convicted slayer of Tony Von Phil and George Copeland, was officially revoked by Gov. William E. Sweet at the request of Warden Tom Tynan of the state penitentiary. Henwood, who was paroled by Governor Oliver Shoup on May 27, 1922, was returned to the state penitentiary about three weeks ago for violation of parole.
Cripple Cgeek.—Mrs. Mary Nicholson, 70 years old, was burned to death at her home in the mountains, two miles southwest of Florissant. Discovery of the death was made when George Lee, garage man of Florissant, went to the house to ascertain why Mrs. Nicholson had not been seen or heard by her neighbors.
Denver.—Production of coal in Colorado in 1922 was next to the lowest output recorded in the state in four years, according to statistics of the United States Geological survey distributed in Washington. The 1922 coal production was 10,004,000 tons. in 1919 the state produced 10,323,420 tons; in 1920, 12,278,225 tons; and in 1921, 9,122,760 tons.
Fort Collins.—At a special election held here Fort Collins voted a $330,000 bond issue for school purposes. The greater part of the sum will be used to construct a new high school building.

ARE YOU GUILTY?
A FARMER carrying an express package from a big mail-order house was accosted by a local dealer.
"Why didn't you buy that bill of goods from me? I could have sailed you the express, and besides you would have been patronizing a home store, which helps pay the taxes and builds up this locality."
The farmer looked at the merchant a moment and then said:
"Why don't you patronize your home paper and advertise? I read it and didn't know that you had the stuff I have here."

SUGAR ONCE MORE CAUSES TROUBLE
GOVERNMENT TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY THE PRICE HAS BEEN ADVANCING.
"LEAK" IN CAPITAL INVOLVED
Speculators Learned the Contents of Department of Commerce Bulletin Three Days Before Its Release, and Someone May Be Punished.
Bv EDWARD B. CLARK
Washington.-Uncle Sam is taking a deep and rather sudden interest in the country's sugar bowl. Secretary Hoover of the Department of Commerce and Augustus T. Seymour, assistant to the attorney general, jointly are trying to learn the whys and wherefores of the sudden advance in sugar prices, which began about eight weeks ago with a jump of one cent a pound. The tariff commission is also looking into the matter.
Sugar, curiously enough, on more than one occasion has done something to sour the disposition of the Governmental Uncle of us all. Sugar growers, sugar refiners, sugar sellers, and sugar speculators have individually or collectively borne the brunt of governmental attack off and on for years. Now there is in progress another assault, and the wonder is that if this time anything or anybody is to be brought back captive.
Again, Washington is interested in what specifically, sharply and perhaps picturesquely is called a "leak." A lump of sugar information which was to be carefully guarded for some days, melted, leaked through a crevice in the receptacle of secrecy, and the charge is that speculators and others interested in the sugar market secured a few drops of the leakage and were enabled to profit thereby, to the disadvantage of the general consuming public.
Leaka Don't Come Often.
It is the habit of government departments to prepare statements of various kinds for publication and to put thereon a release date, binding those who receive the information to hold it sacred until the day set for its submission to the reading public. It is not once in many hundreds of times probably that any one violates the confidence thus imposed in him. On only one or two occasions has a "leak" been traced to persons who were given the advance notices because of confidence they would not reveal anything until the proper time. Generally speaking, leaks have come from persons who had no right to the information, but who managed to secure it through means best known to themselves.
On February 9 of this year a bulletin was issued by the Department of Commerce which contained a statement on the supply of sugar in this country. The contents of the bulletin were not to be released for publication until February 12. Somehow or other the speculators in New York and elsewhere were notified of the contents of the bulletin, their information coming to them late on the day of the bulletin's issue.
It seemingly is the suspicion of the government that the information in this bulletin was used in a distorted form to bring about an advance in the price of sugar, and to give an opportunity to certain interests to make preparations for further advances in the price of the commodity to the consumer.
It may be that investigation will show who it was that "leaked." and it may be as a result that someone will be punished. If a department employee gave out the information he probably will lose his job. If some person to whom the information was sent for publication at the proper time released it in advance, he will be blacklisted so that no more confidential government documents shall reach his office.
Woman Vote Losing Potency.
The National League of Women voters is to hold its fourth annual convention in Des Moines, Ia., the second week in April. It is understood that one of the matters of moment to be brought before the convention will be what might be called a plan to insure full female representation at the polls when the election days come around.
It probably is not at all beside the truth to say that many of the organizations of women are somewhat disappointed because all of their sisters seemingly have not taken advantage of the change in the Constitution and in the laws which give the gentler sex the right to cast its ballot on an equality with the ballot of the sterner sex.
Men politicians seem to believe that in a way the women constitute a house divided against itself. Many thousands of the women of the country believe that women should vote as women and that therefore there should be a woman's party. Hundreds of thousands of women believe that a woman's party is, so to put it, "bad business" and that it is the duty of the women voters to align themselves with an existing political party and to attempt through it to secure legislation which they believe will be particularly helpful to the causes in which they are interested. The rallying cry of one branch of womankind is, "Do It Through a Woman's Party," while the cry of the opposition is, "Do It Through the Old Parties."
There will be only one woman to
hold a seat in the next congress of the United States. The sex seemingly has not made as much progress toward recognition in the field of national office holding as it was thought would be the case. There are political leaders here who say the women made the initial mistake of thinking that they must press for their legislation as women and not merely as American citizens seeking that which is good. It is certain, as has been said frequently in Washington correspondence, that woman has lost some of her influence with the national lawmakers and largely because the women have not succeeded in getting together upon any one program of action.
Don't Get Together.
One needs to be in Washington only for a short time to learn something of the division in the ranks of the women. There is one woman's organization which is spending a large part of its time and energy in trying to influence congress to do away entirely with the army and navy, to recognize soviet Russia, to condemn the action of France in entering the Ruhr, and to secure the release of the prisoners in penal institutions who were convicted of sedition or seditious utterances during the war.
On the other hand, there is a large body of women which is seeking to nullify the efforts of their sisters who are moving along the paths outlined in the foregoing paragraph.
There is one body of women which tried and partly succeeded in securing the passage of legislation in congress which would in a way give to Uncle Sam control of what might be called the family affairs of the people. Another body of women opposed this legislation, and it will oppose any other attempts along like lines.
Troubles of the Party Chairman.
The chairmen of the national committees of the two great parties have had their troubles recently. Cordell Hull, the Democratic chairman, has had intentions credited to him which he has been in haste to deny; while John T. Adams, now abroad, unquestionably has heard the rumors to the effect that he might possibly be relieved of his duties.
Investigations show that Mr. Adams unquestionably will keep his present place until the choice of a new chairman is made at convention time next year, and that then he will either continue his work or step down and out as the party nominee for the presidency shall indicate his wish in the matter. Chairman Hull has not been troubled with rumors of a coming change in his office, but he has been troubled otherwise.
A story received wide publication recently that Mr. Hull intended to use his influence as a party man and as committee chairman to compass the nomination of a certain candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. Recently the writer in his Washington correspondence said this: "In the Democratic national committee headquarters there is no sign of favoritism toward any one of the party's candidates. It is not within the province of a national committee to play favorites before the convention has done its work. The course of the committee is to extol the party and not the man."
Hull Denies Favoritism Rumor.
The quotation expressed and still expresses doubtless the attitude of the chairmen of both the Republican and the Democratic committees. Seemingly Chairman Hull did not realize that some persons, presumably seeking to secure advantage for their favorite in the nomination race, would try to give the impression that their favorite was the chairman's favorite.
The attempt to give this impression, however, was made and Mr. Hull was compelled to issue a statement to the effect that he had held no conference with other party men and that the published statement was untruthful. He said this directly: "Democratic national headquarters was not created for the purpose either of formulating a platform or of nominating a candidate."
Signs are multiplied today that the contest for Democratic nomination for the presidency is to be as brisk and as breezy as was that in the ever-to-be remembered Democratic year of 1912, when prior to the convention at Baltimore the track was full of runners with no heavy odds-on favorite.
Recently William Jennings Bryan suggested five or six names of men in his opinion would make good Democratic candidates for the presidency. The name of one candidate believed today to have at least a fair show of securing the nomination was not mentioned by Mr. Bryan. It is true that the Nebraskan, who now lives in Florida, omitted the names of several quite prominent candidates. The fact, however, that he omitted the name of Senator Underwood seems to have attracted sharp attention among political leaders 1. Washington. Mr. Underwood generally is regarded as a more or less conservative, and as Mr. Bryan is looked upon as one of the extremely liberal party leaders, it is held by some politicians here that the conservatism of Senator Underwood is the reason for his name's omission.
Democratic leaders are wondering today just how much power Mr. Bryan yet wields in the party. One leader says he still is a "powerful power," and while some others seem to disagree with him the general opinion with him is that he is right. The wet and dry issue, it is figured, is likely to be a strong factor in the problem of who is to be who in the Democratic national convention next year.
It is fully recognized by military authorities in the United States that the principal instruments of destruction in the next war will be the bomb.

RECENTLY we called attention to the wonderful achievements and the benefits that ought to come to our race by keeping in touch with these practical movements, if only in a theoretical way. There is nothing more valuable and interesting than the study of nature when pursued in the right way and with diligent attention. To watch the manner and process of plant growth is to quicken and sharpen the powers of observation, cultivate the intellect and develop and foster respect for intelligent labor. What is better to know than that plants are guided and developed in their progress of growth by intelligent direction, and to understand how they are nourished by the soil, stimulated by the rain, invigorated by the air and fed by the atmosphere? In order to obtain the greatest benefit from the study of agriculture, the practical and scientific sides must be combined. The Why? This is the all-important thing, for this same principle may be combined with certain modifications in a thousand other things. Every child, whether boy or girl, should be taught the application of the scientific principles which cause the soil to respond readily to the demand and wish of the tiller, and the results obtained should be noted. This is the beginning of science on any subject.
Our public schools, and especially in the Southland, could do no better thing than to emphasize the importance of good farming by giving the subject equal place in the curriculum with arithmetic and grammar, because in soil study we have open to us an intelligent chapter in the great book of Nature in which the goodness and wisdom of God is plainly written.
THE NEED OF ORGANIZATION
material progress among peoples and the lasting benefits of judicious use is the inexorable logic of history. More and more this valued lesson recollections of the American Negro; most of realization that our best results justified effort rather than individual effort; that the fact cannot be disputed that the Negro race in the history of our work and strong determination, accorded real leadership. However, serves to more clearly proclaim are the rare exception of our program the actual racial achievements that is worth while, we must look for organized effort. Nothing can be counted is not equally advantageous for the sufferer by the solidarity of the Jewry centuries they have borne burden the objects of hatred and even more responsible for the death on the ethical their march upward has been a motion races find themselves, come into a fuller consciousness of their receive of a just and equable enjoyments without at the same time taking. So, as true hearted sons and daughters our high purpose to gain and be living to society a laudable example organization.
DEFINITE and material progress among peoples and nations of the world comes only as the lasting benefits of judicious and well directed organization. It is the inexorable logic of history to which all successful races must subscribe. More and more this valued lesson is finding a place in the affairs and calculations of the American Negro; more and more we are approaching the point of realization that our best results and greatest achievements are born of unified effort rather than individual endeavor.
To a large extent the fact cannot be disputed that there are a few outstanding figures of the Negro race in the history of our country who have, by indomitable pluck and strong determination, accomplished great things and given evidences of real leadership.
Their example, however, serves to more clearly prove the point of our contention, since they are the rare exception of our progress and by no means the rule. But to record the actual racial achievements which means permanence of citizenship that is worth while, we must look to the advantages accruing only from organized effort. Nothing can be counted as enduring for the individual that is not equally advantageous for the whole. The best illustration of this is offered by the solidarity of the Jewish race.
For nearly twenty centuries they have borne burdens of intolerable proportions, have been the objects of hatred and even massacred because of a legend that they were responsible for the death on the cross of th founder of Christianity. But withal their march upward has been unimpeded.
Through organization races find themselves, come into realization of their strength, and grow into a fuller consciousness of their responsibilities. For it is not possible to conceive of a just and equable enjoyment of what we are pleased to call our rights without at the same time taking on a larger measure of responsibilities. So, as true hearted sons and daughters of the American republic, let it be our high purpose to gain and be worthy of every right justly due us while giving to society a laudable example of devotion to our own through meritorious organization.

WITH the near approach of the city election, every Denver citizen is approaching the hour when call will be made upon them to perform a plain, civic duty, and that is to VOTE. The actual functions of government begin at the ballot box. It is the free citizens greatest weapon and while we urge that every Denver citizen be prepared to vote at the two approaching elections, both of them being important, our chief concern is in the status of our Negro voters. It has been said, and with a great deal of truth, that our people are hesitant about registering. Reports came to us, just prior to the election of last fall that much abuse and criticism was heaped upon canvassers in certain parts of the city by those who had an abhorrence of registering. And yet, just before election it developed that a sinister move was on in some quarters to push strongly the proposed constitutional convention in the hope that its enactment would supply an opportunity for amending Colorado's Civil Rights Bill. We were astounded at the revelation. The news fell like a thunder bolt from a clear sky. HERE was a plain assault on our very citizenship planned and we stood unprepared before the world. Those of us that were registered, advised all to vote against the proposed constitutional convention. Fortunate for us, the electorate of Colorado were in a frame of mind to vote down all amendments last fall and so our status was temporarily preserved for us, through no great credit of our own. Another election confronts us. Suppose the evils of segregation again creep in somewhere. Are we as Negroes, registered and prepared to resist by our vote any encroachment upon our rights, or do we stand helpless and unable to protect ourselves in any way? Remember there has been a deal of unwholesome agitation going on in Denver for the past year, and usually some fire exists where there is so much smoke. To all citizens alike however, this solemn warning was issued by the Rocky Mountain News of Thursday morning:
"An unregistered citizen is like a man in battle with wooden gun and sword and lacking ammunition—worse than nothing.
"A good many thousand "unarmed" citizens are living in Denver today. They are the ones who complain loudest when things go wrong. They are heard on street corner and in street car denouncing public officers and government, but when the day comes they can do nothing but talk and make nuisances of themselves."

"SHUFFLE ALONG"
A decided novelty in theatrical presentation will be the performance of "Shuffle Along" which will be at the Broadway Theater, beginning Sunday night, April 29. This piece played for over two consecutive years at the Sixty-Third Street Music Hall, New York City, and has been proclaimed the musical hit of the present decade. The production is along the lines of the old Cole and Johnson, and Williams and Walkers shows of the old days, only the present production is modern and lavishly mounted and costumed, and employs a cast of some sixty odd performers.
There is a regular plot running through the play, which is frequently interrupted by numerous song numbers and dance accompaniments, all done in that peculiar style of syncopation with its lilting, swinging, crooning tones that in this later day is called jazz. Among the principal song numbers will be heard "Sing Me To Sleep Mammy Dear," "You Got to Kiss Mammy Good Bye," "Mary From Maryland," "Baltimore Buzz," "Oriental Blues" and many others.
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE VOTERS OF DENVER
In prosecuting our campaign on behalf of Amendment No. 1, which provides for an increase in the pay of Denver firemen and policemen, we find considerable sentiment in various quarters to the effect that there is an alignment between the firemen and policemen and this, that or the other candidate for public office; in other words, that the firemen and policemen are giving their support to some one or more of the aspirants for office in the present campaign, in return for his, or their, promise of support for Amendment No. 1.
We wish to emphatically deny that such is the case. We are not affiliated with any political party, nor are we using our influence in behalf of any candidate for public office.
Our sole aim is the adoption by the people of Amendment No. 1, which is not a political issue in any sense of the word. The civil service rules under which we work strictly forbid our participation in politics, and stipulate that political activity shall constitute grounds for discharge from the service.
Trusting this will make our position clear, we are,
Sincerely,
Executive Committee,
Denver Firemen's and Policemen's Protective Association.
AMERICAN LEGION BALL UNPAR
ALLELED SUCCESS
Fun and frolic reigned supreme at the Military Ball given by the Wallace Simpson Post No. 29 at beautiful Fern Hall last Thursday evening, when the members of the American Legion attired in their uniforms of much attraction and vying with the latest evening gowns of their lady guests, set another high mark in the social activities of Denver's springtime events. Ex-service men and their friends from Boulder, Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Cheyenne attended in fairly large numbers adding to the evening's pleasure by their agreeableness and general merriment. Dainty refreshments were served, and the special feature of Ernest Moore's seven piece orchestra, delighting the large number of guests with music from the martial strains to the jazziest jazz, offered an enjoyment not easily to be forgotten by those whose good fortune it was to attend. The management consisting of ex-service men, Williamson, Peittus, James, Oliver and Simpkins, deserve commendation for their efforts which were crowned with success and the event was unique as only military men could accomplish.

STATE CAPITOL NEWS LETTER
---
Long appropriation bills for the maintenance of state institutions were passed on second and third reading for sums totaling $478,000.
The House passed the appropriation bills for the Soldiers' and Sailors' home and for the State Home for Dependent and Neglected Children.
Final ratification was also given to Senator Girard's "blue sky" bill, which requires all stock selling concerns to file prospectuses of any venture.
Senate bill 160, by Senator Church, appropriating $10,000 for the experimentation work in ores by the State School of Mines was passed on final reading by the Senate.
Final approval of the intangible property tax bill, advocated by Governor Sweet, was given by the State House of Representatives when it passed the measure on third and final reading.
The House passed on third and final reading the "car distribution bill," by Representative Cook. This bill is a companion to the co-operative marketing bill and the director of markets.
The House passed on third and final reading the bill levying a .05 mill tax for the support of the state medical school, following the completion of the University of Colorado hospital in Denver.
The House passed on second reading the car distribution bill, companion measure to Governor Sweet's cooperative marketing and director of markets bills. There was little opposition on the floor.
The House passed on second reading the bill repealing that portion of the teacher's minimum wage law which makes the county the unit for the levying of school taxes. Under the provisions of the bill as passed, the tax levying power is replaced in the hands of the school districts.
The representatives also passed Senate concurrent resolution No. 5, by Senator Knauss, which provides for the submission to the people at the next general election the proposition of giving the Legislature power to fix the salaries of the governor, Supreme Court judges and district judges.
Robert F. Rockweil, lieutenant governor of Colorado, and presiding in the Senate, was called upon to vote on a tie on H. B. 103 by Representative Holmberg, appropriating $125,000 for the insane asylum in Brush, and he voted in the affirmative, thereby saving the bill for final reading.
H. B. 168, by Representatives Spooner and Elder, was passed with amendments that were shot in at the eleventh hour raising the salary of the curator in the bureau of mines from $125 to $150 a month and that of the stenographer and clerk from $100 to $125 a month. The explanation given was that the abolishment of the geological bureau would throw its work into the bureau of mines.
The Senate conferred an honor upon Senator John J. Tobin, Democrat, Montrose, though he vigorously protested against it. Senate bill 42, by Senators Jones and Grigsby, appropriates $25,000 for a dormitory for the boys and girls clubs members on the state fair grounds. Senator Grigsby moved that the name of the structure be the Tobin Boys and Girls Building because Senator Tobin has been the most active man in Colorado in furthering these clubs among the farm youngsters of the state. He protested that he preferred that the cornerstone bear the inscription that the building was erected by the Twenty-fourth General Assembly, but he was overruled.
Governor Sweet's income tax bill failed of passage on third and final reading, by five votes, in the House of Representatives. The vote stood 28 to 25 on the measure. Although a majority was in favor of it, it failed, because, under the constitution, thirty-three votes are necessary to pass a bill.
The Senate on final reading passed the "truth in fabric" bill, known as House bill 142, Representative Calkins. It is claimed by some that this bill, by a Senate amendment has lost some of its "teeth" for the amendment provides that the merchant must obtain information as to the wool content of a garment or the cloth before he can tag its wool content.
Among the bills passed on final reading by the Senate was H. B. 444, by Representative Rees, that places in the hands of the county commissioners the power to exclude livestock of all kinds from bordering states being driven over into Colorado to feed. It is believed that this measure, if approved by the governor, will have the effect of ending the "wars" of several localities, especially along the Colorado-Utah border.
The House anti-discrimination bill known as House bill 268, by Representatives Warner and Chapman, was subjected to only one amendment in the Senate committee of the whole in a debate of an hour. This amendment, however, removes some of the objections that were held against the bill as passed by the House. The amendment by Senator Francis J. Knauss, Republican, Denver, provides that it must be proved that a price of a commodity was cut to put a competitor out of business before the accused can be held guilty of violating the act.
SUIT FILED TO PROTECT PUBLIC
CRIMINAL CHARGES TO BE FILED AGAINST SUGAR SPECULATORS
SUGAR PRICES PROBED
INJUNCTION TO STOP TRADING IN SUGAR FUTURES IN- STITUTED BY U. S.
Washington.—Criminal prosecutions may follow an injunction suit filed in New York by the federal government to protect the public against exorbitant sugar prices.
The first phase of the government's action was the alleged sugar conspiracy completed with institution of the civil injunction proceedings to prevent speculative trading on the New York Sugar Exchange. The criminal phase was held in ebeyance, but Acting Attorney General Seymour announced that it was under serious consideration.
Final decision regarding criminal action was said officially to be before Attorney General Daugherty, who now is at Asheville, N. C. He was said to be considering a request upon the federal grand jury in New York for criminal indictments, under the conspiracy provisions of the Sherman anti-trust act, of defendants named in today's civil suit.
Another development in the sugar situation was a report to President Harding by the tariff commission which found that duties of the new Fordney-McCumber tariff act were not a factor in the recent increase in sugar prices.
The commission declared the increase was due to other causes and that if the tariff was reduced or removed, the tendency would be to decrease production of American beet sugar and increase imports of the foreign products.
The government's action in the New York injunction suit designed to close the New York coffee and sugar exchange and the New York Coffee and Sugar Clearing Association, Inc., to future or speculative trading in sugar, was unusually speedy and vigorous.
At the White House, it was said, it would be novel and important to determine for the future whether the government has the power to prevent speculation in foodstuffs and also in clothing, prices of which have a tendency to fluctuate abnormally.
Two months of active investigation by government agents in this country and Cuba, precede filing of the injunction suit. Although the department of justice plans were known to a considerable number of officials, the move was clothed in secrecy, no indication being given that the government contemplated such drastic action.
Officials explained that the civil proceedings properly came first in the government's procedure, the design being to use the injunction to prevent further increases in raw sugar prices, which are reflected to the family sugar bowl through the wholesaler and retailer. The criminal phase logically would follow, officials said, if Attorney General Daugherty determines that the evidence warrants conviction on conspiracy charges of those in the alleged combination which it is charged resulted in the sky-rocketing of sugar prices since early February.
London.—"France is spending millions on the occupation and getting next to nothing out of it; she is using a whale to catch a sprat." This strikingly phrased declaration is contained in the report of the Labor party's delegation which went to the Ruhr about the middle of March to investigate the situation there and in other parts of Germany. The delegation was composed of Thomas Shaw, Charles R. Burton and William Adamson, members of the House of Commons.
Washington.—Police were called upon to assist in preserving order at the Daughters of the American Revolution annual congress during balloting in connection with the triennial election of officers. Several of the nearly two thousand delegates were described as being on the verge of hysteria. Firemen stationed at the convention hall as a precautionary measure, assisted police officers in maintaining order.
Freedom of Press Upheld
Springfield, Ill.—Only in the days of the divine right of kings, the Supreme Court of Illinois held, in dismissing the $10,000,000 libel suit filed by the city of Chicago during the administration of former Mayor William Hale Thompson, against the Chicago Tribune, could it find a reasonable basis for prosecution. So far as could be ascertained from reported cases, it was believed the first time that any court in the United States ruled whether a municipality may be libelled.
A Vision Across the Years From Arbor Day, 1923, to Arbor Day, 1973
THE man who has been able to command a perspective has ever been the man who has won success—not only for himself alone, but often for countless numbers whose welfare has depended upon him. Among the great problems of today which demand a perspective from every intelligent man and woman in the country is the problem of this nation's reforestation. A vision across the years between the Arbor Day of 1923 and the celebration of this day fifty years hence, in 1973, should be an inspiration to every one of us.
The men, women and children of the country who celebrate Arbor Day of 1923 by planting trees could in no other way bequeath so rich a heritage to future generations. Human life is absolutely dependent upon wild life and forests. Without these things we would become extinct as a race.
If all vegetation, all wild life, and all forests should disappear tomorrow the human race would become extinct upon the face of the earth within one year. Without wood we could have no agriculture, no manufacture, no commerce. Civilization, as we know it, would come to an end. It is not so greatly a matter of dollars and cents—it is most surely a matter of life.
So let us as a Nation, on this Arbor Day of 1923, and the Arbor days which we may live to celebrate in the future, take our shovels in hand, go forth and plant trees.
"Mais Non, American Girls Do Not Understand Our Beautiful Frenchmen"
By COUNTESS DE LA MARE HAMBIQUE, French Actress.
Frenchmen? Ah, oui, they are, what you say, ze big cheese. Americans—I like them, oh, yes, but they cannot come up to the little finger of my dear countrymen. I mean, mostly, in chivalry to women.
It gets them in trouble sometimes. American girls abroad are treated so nice by Frenchmen. Frenchmen are so very, very gallant. They compliment the girls. Sometimes they say: "You are very beautiful, I would like to marry you." But they do not mean quite that. They are so gallant, the Frenchmen. It is only a pretty compliment that they say.
You American men are more serious. When you ask a girl to marry you you have a bank account and perhaps a little home already furnished. And so, the American girl thinks the Frenchman is serious. And she gets very, very angry.
Mais non. American girls do not understand our beautiful European men. Devotion to feminine persons, lovely devotion, is part of the Frenchman's education and life. His father before him taught him that and he is not crude.
At Present Conservative Leaders of Labor Do Not Demand a Third Party
Any political program to be successful in America must reckon with labor.
If a labor party is not to be formed in America, then labor's cause must be championed by one or the other of the two political parties in a much more definite way than has ever been done before. Unquestionably labor figured largely in the recent election and, having felt its power, it will press forward for greater recognition.
At present the conservative leaders of labor are not demanding the formation of a third party, but are content to indorse for election those candidates of either party who will stand for their principles. There are, however, able labor leaders who will not rest until they form a third party, believing that there are evils in our present economic structure which neither party will assail.
Labor makes three fundamental demands; namely, the right to a living wage, the abolition of the abuse of court injunctions in the case of strikes and the recognition of its inherent rights to collective bargaining.
Winter Draws Its Mountain Pictures With a Sharp and Simple Line
Winter draws its pictures with a sharp and simple line. The first snowfall transforms the aspect of the mountain landscape, as though it had been rendered with an etcher's needle. The structure of rocks is emphasized, the architecture of cliffs and canyons boldly delineated. Shapes of trees are separated and outlined asserting their individual character until in the distance they merge in the dark mass of the forest.
As the white spaces spread and solidify, the great planes of the typography are revealed in their true relation, and the unity of nature's larger design becomes apparent. All vertical forms, from a bush or bit of dry herbage in the foreground to a distant precipice on the range, assume a decorative significance, new and unexpected.
Color becomes of secondary importance, and under certain conditions of atmosphere is almost eliminated. In the clear light of mid-day the scene suggests the crisp black and white of an old wood-cut; in the mists of twilight, the subtle and luminous monochrome of a Chinese ink painting.
"When My Ship Comes In" Means Pretty Much the Same Thing Still
By P. H. W. ROSS, National Marine League, U. S. A.
Years ago, in the days of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers, when "most everybody" in New England had a share in some sturdy ship sailing the high seas, a man would promise to pay a debt, or to buy his wife a necklace, "when my ship comes in." The years passed, as did the gallant sailing craft. The custom waned, but the expression survived; and we still promise to meet our obligations "when my ship comes in."
A very different world is this we live in, and far more complex, than that of our forefathers, who simply had to use their eyes in order actually to see their ships gayly entering the home port. No eye, no telescope is strong enough to bring a ship within the vision of a resident of Peoria, Ill., for example.
Nevertheless, so far as important results are concerned, the freighter enters Peoria and every other American community—no matter how far inland—just as surely as she docks at a Brooklyn pier.

Clothing for children should be of
the simplest kind, says the United
States Department of Agriculture. It
should permit absolute freedom of
movement, hanging chiefly from the
shoulders, and permitting the child to
bend over freely, squat on the ground,
kick, run, climb, or otherwise indulge
in the activity natural to a growing
boy or girl. Rompers for very little
children, and bloomer dresses or sep-
arate knickers and blouses for those a
Uttle older are, as a rule, the most
practical from the standpoint of the
child's comfort and appearance, and a
minimum amount of laundering. Blab-
orate designs are unsuitable at any
time for active young children. Chil-
dren should not be conscious of thelr
clothing elther from a sense of dis-
comfort, or from vanity or embarrass-
ment, Washable materials are prefer-
able for children's clothing, until they
are old enough to take some responst-
bility for keeping their clothes clean.
Where extra warmth 1s necessary,
washable woolen materials may be se-
lected, such as serge, flannel, or
challis, but most mothers find that It
pays best to use woolen underwear
and cotton or linen dresses, with
sweaters and leggings for extra
warmth when the children go out. A
set of cover-all aprons made on the
“ifraono” pattern will be found very
practical for use when children are
playing in the house or yard elther
after school or when they are too lit-
tle to go to school. Ollcloth or rubber
bibs for very Uttle children can be
easily made and will lessen the num-
ber of garments to be washed.
Garments Made at Home.
A large part of the clothing for
girls can always be made at home,
and many garments may be made for
boys as long as they wear washable
clothes. Boys’ knickers for play,

The ideal of every housekeeper
would be a separate room for her laun-
dry with running water and modern
labor-saving devices. These cannot be
provided in every home, but even
where the arrangement and equipment
are necessarily very simple it is often
possible to make minor changes or to
plan the work in such a way that it
will take less time and strength.
In olden days, tubs and wash
benches were brought into the kitchen
because water could be heated there
most conyeniently, and from this
seems to have developed the idea that
the kitchen is the place for the laun-
ary. ‘The doors and steam from laun-
dry work, however, are disagreeable
in a kitchen, and the handling of
soiled clothing In any room in which
food 1s prepared {s highly objection-
able. If clothes must be washed In
the kitchen the preliminary sorting
should be done elsewhere.
In some sections It 1s considered
preferable to have the washing done
out of doors or in a room outside of
the house. Otherwise the best place
for a laundry ‘ usually elther in a
room next to the kitchen or In a base-
ment room directly below It, because
this makes it possible to use the same
chimney and if the house 1s equipped
with running water the same water
pipes for both rooms. A basement
laundry generally means too many
stairs for the housewife, while a room
adjoining the kitchen may enable her
much more easily «0 carry on or over-
see the work in both rooms at the
same time.
Good lighting 1s necessary for good
laundry work, and tubs and troning
board should be so placed that the
light comes.from the side. Doors and
windows should be arranged to give
the thorough ventilation especially
blouses, pajamas, underwear, and even
mackinaws, which are unlined, may
be successfully made from patterns at
home by most mothers, but as a rule
the work involved in making a boy's
sult or ined overcoat 1s such that it
pays to get these garments ready-
made and economize {n some other
way. At times It happens, however,
that a man's sult has such good mate-
rial in It that {t {s worth while to
make it over for a boy. Women's gnr-
ments may be cut over much more
easily to fit the girls of the family.
‘There is always the possibility of
combining two materials when there
1s not enough of one, or of adding
fust enough new contrasting material
to make the result seem like a new
dress.
One Pattern Sufficient.
In the {llustration one pattern was
used to make five different dresses.
Variety was obtained by making the
decorations entirely different and us-
ing different materials n each dress,
and gulmpe. Even with dresses for old
er persons It Is frequently possible to
vary a simple foundation pattern by
means of trimming, various styles of
collars or cuffs, or a different way of
opening, so as to have the results
seem totally different. A glance at
any pattern book will show how the
same foundation pattern can be made
up to give various effects. The ad-
vantages of using one pattern for a
number of garments in this way are
that with repeated use one Is able to
handle the pattern more easily and
consequently to work more rapidly,
and no time fs lost measuring and lay-
Ing out several different kinds of pat-
terns. The simpler the pattern the
easter {t is to cut and make, and the
more lkelthood there 1s of being able
to use it for cutting over a lmited
amount of material, as In the case of
making over an old dress.
necessary because of steam, odors and
heat.
‘A laundry floor should be of mate-
rial that wears well, 1s not too hard
for the feet, does not soak water or get
slippery when wet, and Is easily
cleaned. Wood, cement, composition
and Inoleum are used. Wood floors
‘are not easily cleaned and are often
slippery when wet. Cement floors are
common in some parts of the country
and relatively Inexpensive, and if
painted with special cement paint they
do not absorb water. Some compos!-
tion floors are not too hard, are less
expensive than hardwood, and are
easily cleaned. A floor covered with
Unoleum {s easily wiped up, is im-
pervious to moisture, and {s easy to
tread, but 1s slippery when wet. Oil
paints are preferable to water color
for the walls,
‘The room should be divided into a
washing and an froning section. ‘The
position of the stove will determine
the details of this division. To make
boiling the clothes convenient, the
stove should be near the tub. If a
washing machine 1s to be used. the tub
should be so arranged that the gar-
ments go directly, without handling,

A FINE milan straw expresses the very aristocracy of millinery, and this is the type which is greatly in evidence this season. Of course this milan hat must be a distinctive shape with trimming of simple elegance to assure its individuality. The poke may be said to be the favorite among favorites this season, and it is indeed charming when of finest milan braid. There are so many versions of the poke bonnet, they

present in themselves an interesting study. Among others, the very deep but not wide flare is repeating its Parisian triumph in America. Milan novelty "Continentals" are exceedingly good style.
All shades of brown and black, of orange, predominate in the milans as now worn. However one of the outstanding features of the season is purple milan straw. Ever so many cunning shapes are developed in deep purple and various orchid tones, also the lighter browns and cocoa shades are very fashionable.
Here's a secret, too good to keep. It, regard to the group of milan braid hats shown in this picture: Two of them have a snap-on trimming. That means the bows and ribbon garnitures

are removable at one's instant fancy. It also visions vast possibilities matching one's millinery to one's costume. Ribbon lends itself wonderfully to its removable trimming and one can revel in a number of ornate cocardes, bows and the like, each a different color.
The hat with the fanlike frill is just so in the picture, but concealed in the box from whence it emerged are several sets of bows which may be snapped on in place of the trim it now carries. The model to the left has snap-on trimming of crushed bows of ombre ribbons in wood tones, with a band across the top of the crown. The deep milan cloche is dark purple with lavish bows of wide ribbon, for ribbon is the leading trimming item this season.
"Make it of ribbon" is apparently the prevailing sentiment throughout

the realm of fashion. The pictures herewith tell of the magic which lurks in a length of ribbon.
Just now the Deauville bandanna is the subject supreme in the way of dress accessories. It has a rival in the ribbon kerchief drape, such as is pictured in the small circle. The way to make this interesting novelty is to take four pieces of wide ribbon, miter them at the corners and join by double hemstitching or fargoting. This pretty
KELLY
"ribonette", as it has been aptly called, can be worn as a square, pulled around so that one point comes down in the front with each shoulder and the back adorned with the other points. A pleasing variation is to knot one point in kerchief effect.
Fancy girdles—what a sensation they are creating among dress accessories, and how gracefully ribbon lends itself to the general scheme! The picture tells, in two views, how to fashion the cleverest sort of a hip-scarf or girdle out of about one and three quarters yards of wide ribbon. Two pieces are mitered to make a corner, the one three-fourths-yard in length, the other one yard. The process is shown in the section held to view by the young woman, who afterwards

knots it about the hips, point over right hip, as the standing figure displays.
Among other ribbon novelties is a very effective cap for the boudoir. A yard and a half of ribbon 6 or 7 inches wide is required. Fold it to find the center, shirr here in five vertical rows, so as to draw down to conform to the head. To one side measure 12 inches, at which point cut a silt or button hole almost across the ribbon. Overcast this with floss, so it will not ravel. In adjusting, pull the other end of the ribbon through at the back of the head. Bring both ends forward and treat the front in a butterfly bow.

Supremacy Through Pressure. Pressure has often been the making of men. They are not at their best unless compelled to keep up to their limitations. The remarkable thing about that is the more you move up the greater becomes the capacity for moving. It's just pressure making its way.
