LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY COLORED SCHOOLS MAKE PROGRESS State Agents, Maryland to Texas, Hold Conference at Hampton Institute Public Schools Need Public Support Dr. J. H. Dillard Declares Good Citizenship Must Be Put in Reach of All COLORED SCHOOLS State Agents, Maryland to Hampton Public Schools Ne Dr. J. H. Dillard Declares G in Read By Wm. Anthony Aery HAMPTON, Va., May 22.—The State agents for colored schools in fourteen Southern states, who recently met for a three-day conference at Hampton Institute, were introduced by Principal J. E. Gregg as "the group of men who are doing the most important work that is being done in the South for the improvement of colored public schools." Leo M. Favrot, Baton Rouge, La., referred to Hampton's service to the South through its graduates. He stated that in Louisiana the colored school population had increased 3 per cent in nine years, while the number of colored teachers had doubled and the salaries paid to colored teachers had quadrupled. In 1913 two-thirds of the white school children were enrolled, while only one-third of the colored children were enrolled. In 1922 three-fourths of the white school children and two-thirds of the colored children were enrolled. "There is a growing sentiment," he said, "that we must do more for our colored children." N. C. Newbold, Raleigh, N. C., stated that North Carolina is now spending between $3,500,000 and $4,000,000 annually on its colored schools. "We have built," he said, "287 Rosenwald schools at a cost of over $1,000,000. Forty more Rosenwald schools must be completed by June 1. These schools will cost $120,000. Three years ago North Carolina had 1,000 colored teachers with state certificates. Today the state has 2,250. North Carolina is making an earnest, sincere, and faithful effort to do its duty by its colored people. Some of us have a hope and an ambition that we may live to see in our state—not only there, but all over this country—such conditions obtain as will make of the races friends and helpers and co-operators for the upbuilding of our country." W. T. B. Williams, Tuskegee Institute, Ala., field secretary of the Jeanes and Slater Boards, said: "American Negroes have had stimulated within them the sense of responsibility for those who have been less fortunate than they are. That impulse has sent hundreds into the work for the uplift of others." Taxes Must Support Schools Dr. James Hardy Dillard, Charlottesville, Va., president of the Jeanes and Slater Boards, declared that he discovered many years ago that all the millionaires in America could not educate the people. "There is only one way to do the job," he said, "and that is by public taxation. That is the way it must be and ought to be." Doctor Dillard said that the Hampton Institute students are chosen ones who must through service give their less fortunate brothers and sisters a fair chance. "These state agents," he said, "are making it possible to bring the school out to the little child in the country, and, please God, we are going to keep at this work until every child shall have a good school to go to, where he may get the light of knowledge and good-will and good training to be a good citizen." Other members of the conference included Dr. Wallace Buttrick, Trevor Arnett and H. J. Hjorkelson, New York; B. C. Caldwell, New Orleans; O. H. Bernard, Nashville; J. H. Brinson, Tallahassee; F. C. Button, Frankfort, Ky.; W. F. Credle, Raleigh; E. A. Duke, Oklahoma City; J. B. Felton, Columbia, S. C.; G. H. Ferguson, Raleigh; Wm. D. Gresham, Richmond; Bura Hulun, Jackson, Miss.; W. B. Hill, Atlanta; J. W. Huffington, Baltimore; J. S. Lambert, Montgomery, Ala.; J. A. Presson, Little Rock; L. W. Rogers, Austin, Tex., and S. L. Smith, Nashville. Addresses were also made by Laurence H. Parker, Amherst, Mass., editor of World Agriculture, who stated that no permanent society of nations could be organized without the proper adjustment of those economic difficulties which center about the world's food supply; by Jackson Davis, Richmond, Va., field agent of the General Education Board; and by Dr. Francis W. Shepardson, Chicago, secretary and acting director of "The Julius Rosenwald Fund."

Cohen Reappointed Harding Stiffens on Color Justice Recess Berth Given Colored Man in New Orleans by Pres Harding After Rejection by Senate—Louisiana Senators Wroth—Is President to Start a Positive Attitude? Washington, May 16, 1923.—Walter L. Cohen, New Orleans Colored nomination as comptroller of customs for the New Orleans district was rejected during the recent session of Congress has been given a recess appointment for the office by President Harding. Cohen's nomination aroused the ire of the Louisiana delegation in Congress and the President's action today brought sharp criticism from the two senators from the state. Senator Broussard declared that "so far as precedents are concerned, never before has a President gone to such an extreme. "It was thought," he said, "that after the Senate had rejected Cohen the President would consider the matter closed and not persist in forcing him upon our people." Senator Ransdell said Cohen's appointment was a "slap in the face of the Senate." White House officials said ample percedents existed for appointment of persons rejected by the Senate and that the action of the President was entirely proper. It was added, however that recess appointments heretofore had served without pay. Dempsey Still Side-Stepping Wills. Dempsey Still Side-Stepping Wills. In taking on Tom Gibbons for a fifteen-round fight in Montana on July 4, Jack Dempsey, world heavyweight champion, again appears to have dadged Harry Wills, the Negro challenger. Dempsey last year was compelled by Chairman Muldoon of the New York State Athletic Commission, to cover a $2,500 forfeit posted by Wills to bind a match for the title. Dempsey, under pressure, also signed tentative articles of agreement; but when Tom O'Rourke, matchmaker of the New York Polo Grounds Athletic Club, offered to stage the mill, Muldoon put up the bars. Since the partial reorganization of the commission the ban has been lifted, it is said; but Dempsey, ignoring his signed agreement, has preferred to meet Gibbons rather than run chances with Wills. After Gibbons has been disposed of Dempsey will turn his attention to one of the Milk Fund heavyweights for a battle on Labor day, instead of hooking up with the Negro. Wills, therefore, must waft until next year for Dempsey's consent to meet him, but by that time some other easy mark for the champion may have been discovered, in which event the Negro may decide to give up boxing for all time.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Garvey Announces Fourth Convention of U. N. I. A. Paris, President. by a New York, May 18.—Marcus Garvey, President of the Universal Improvement Association, has announced that the fourth convention of the organization will be held in Liberia, Africa, next year, instead of in this city as previously announced. --- for Liberia N. A. A. C. P. Cables to the French Art School Asking Special Invitation for Miss Savage. A cablegram has been sent to the Fontainebleau School of Fine Arts in France, by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City, denouncing the attitude of the American committee of painters and architects which had rejected Miss Augusta Savage's application to study in France, because of her color. The cablegram further urged the Fontainebleau School to issue a special invitation to Miss Savage to become a student there. The cablegram sent by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People read as follows: "Fontainebleau Art School, Fontainebleau: "We denounce attitude American Committee in case of Augusta Savage and urge in name of French tradition you specially invite her as student." "National Association Advancement of Colored People." In making public the text of the cablegram, James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, issued the following statement: "The attitude of the small clique of painters and architects who rejected Miss Savage's application to become a student at the Fontainebleau School of Fine Arts, does not represent the American attitude. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People wants the authorities of the Fontainebleau School to know that neither art nor American public opinion is represented by these men, despite the offices they hold. We know that French tolerance and the French tradition of fair play does not countenance discrimination because of race or color any more than the true American spirit countenances bigotry. We are therefore appealing to the Frenchmen to issue a special invitation to Miss Savage to become a student there, going over the heads of the American committee who have proved themselves to be unfit for the offices of trust they hold." White Mississippian Shot and Killed by Colored Woman He Lived With White Mississippian Shot and Killed by Colored Woman He Lived With Clarksdale, Miss.—D. B. Bridges, member of one of the most prominent white families at Yazoo City, but who has lived here for the past fifteen years, holding a responsible position with the Sunflower Steam laundry, was shot and killed by Addie Bell Bryant, a colored woman, with whom he lived. Common report is that Bridges was mean to his paramour and had been fussing with her prior to the shooting. The woman, evidently harassed beyond endurance, used a .42-caliber revolver, firing three times. Two bullets took effect, one near the front breast bone and the other plowing through the heart. The affair has created no trouble or excitement. The town is and has been perfectly quiet. The woman was arrested by two officers and lodged in jail and the white man's brother came on from Yazoo City and took the body, where a big funeral was held from the home of the "distressed father, attended by scores of friends of the family." Physician Dragged From Pullman Car O KLAHOMA CITY, Okla, May 11, —"Get down out of there, boy, and come with me," yelled a police officer at Vinita, Okla., at Dr. E. Croshy of Detroit, Mich., traveling a la Pullman from Kansas City, Mo., to this city. The doctor was driven out of the Pullman berth with only his trousers on and forced to ride the police flivver to jail. At the jail he was fed white meat, flat-size biscuits and thick gravy in a tin pan pushed into him under the cell door. Visited by Chief. Later he was visited by the prosecuting attorney of the county and then by the chief of police, who secured his release and let him continue his journey minus his baggage. Dr. Crosby bought passage from Kansas City to Oklahoma City. When he had crossed the state line the conductor of the train woke him in his berth and informed him that he had entered Jim Crow territory, asking him if he wanted to go into the segregated day coach. The physician told him that he would go if he was ordered, but without an ordrhe he would not. The conductor did not give the order. That was at 3:30 in the morning. At 5:30 Crosby was awakened again, the conductor explaining to a policeman he had sought at Vinita that the object of their search was in a certain berth. The officer drew the curtains back and ordered the doctor to get out. As soon as he had put on his trousers he was seized and rushed to the police Ford and thence to jail. Three hours later the prosecuting attorney of the county came to the cell and asked Dr. Crosby if he wanted a trial. The attorney was told that a warrant for arrest was what the physician would rather have, whereupon the prosecutor assured him that such would be forthcoming, also an attorney. An hour later the chief of police called at the cell and instructed the doctor to get his belongings and accompany him to headquarters. He told the prisoner that he had had a h—l of a time getting the state charges against him erased. When he found Dr. Crosby had a ticket for this city, the chief of police informed him that a train for Oklahoma City would leave Vinita in another hour and that he could in all safety leave on it. Crosby left. Dr. Crosby is a brother of Mrs. Fannie Coleman of Chicago. National Weekly Praises Florida Sheriff Says Collier's Weekly: "When a mob is after a negro prisoner, the sheriff is usually fishing at the other end of the county. But a Florida mob found Sheriff Hagen right at home. After fifty shots were exchanged in an effort to seize a Negro prisoner accused of murder, the the sheriff was shot through the hand, the mob cooled off and decided that where there was a good sheriff there must be some justice. But Sheriff Hagan was not through. Before long eighteen members of the mob were in jail. A steady man who knows that for the moment he is the State can handle nearly any mob." NO. 32. Lieut. H. O. Flipper Goes to Venezuela on a Big Mining Job Lieut. H. O. Flipper Goes to Venezuela on a Big Mining Job First Negro West Point Graduate Was Connected With Dept. of Interior. The first Negro graduate from the United States Military Academy at West Point, Lieutenant Henry Ossian Flipper, recently employed in Washington as a special assistant under former Secretary of the Interior Fall, sailed from New York on Saturday April 15, for Venezuela, South America, where he will serve as engineer for a big oil syndicate, in which former Secretary Fall is interested. Lieut. Flipper has had large experience as a mining engineer, and has a distinctive place because of work he has accomplished in Mexico and the southwest section of the United States. His knowledge of Spanish land grants made him of inestimable service in the Interior Department in solving questions that arose concerning Mexican properties and boundaries. Following the recent resignation of Secretary Fall from the President's Cabinet, Lieut. Flipper resigned also, as his work in that department was largely of a character attaching to Secretary Fall personally. In going to South America, the former army officer is under a five years' contract, at a salary of $6,000 per year. Mark Thrash,102 Years, Is Oldest U. S. Prisoner Washington, D.

He was retired last year as a laborer in the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military park at Chattanooga. Mark was born in Louisa county, Virginia, December 15, 1820. James A. Cobb Wins Maryland Jim Crow Case in District of Columbia. James A. Cobb, chairman of the legal committee of the District of Columbia Branch, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has won before the Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia, a Jim-Crow case involving the right of a colored passenger to travel from Maryland into Washington without having to change to the Jim-Crow section of the car he was riding in. The case, won on appeal, awards $500 and costs to Mr. Cobb's client. William A. Waller, the plaintiff, for whom the victory was won, was ejected from a train operated by the Washington, Baltimore & Annapolis Electric Railroad Company, because, having purchased a ticket from Maryland into Washington, he refused to change to the Jim-Crow section of the train when ordered to do so by the conductor. The eviction took place in the state of Maryland, about midnight, and Mr. Waller was compelled to remain there until some time the next morning. In affirming the verdict in favor of Mr. Waller, made by a lower court, Judge Barbar of the Court of Appeals said: "We think that the appellee was an interstate passenger and that the Maryland statute requiring segregation of white and colored passengers was not applicable to him."

CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS Fort Collins. — Common barberry bushes in Weld and Larimer counties are being killed by applications of common rock salt. The barberry spreads black stem rust to grain, and a determined effort is being made to free Colorado and twelve other north central states of this destructive plant pest. Salt is recommended as an eradication agent because it will kill the plant, root and branch. When the barberry is removed by digging, parts of the roots sometimes are left in the ground and these send up sprouts to renew the menace of rust. This is what happened in the case of the bushes in Weld and Larimer counties which now are being treated with salt. E. A. Lungren, state leader of the federal barberry eradication forces, expects to account for the destruction of all the common barberries in the state by the end of this year.

POPPY THE OFFICIAL FLOWER Blood-Red Blossom of Flanders' Field Will Be Put on Resting Place of Every American Who Died in the Service. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—In Washington in this month of May the soldiers of our wars are preparing for Memorial day. In Arlington, the national cemetery, lie thousands upon thousands of soldier dead. Within the last three years the bodies of 8,000 comrades of the World war have been laid to rest under the trees shadowing God's Acre on the Virginia hill which rises from the bank of the Potomac within sight of the country's capitol. This year members of the American Legion are trying to raise a fund of $100,000 to be set aside to bear interest which can be used to purchase flowers for the decoration of the graves of the dead in France. In addition, an attempt is being made by the Legionnaires of the District to raise another fund, the interest of which is to be used through the years for Memorial day purposes in Arlington and in the smaller cemeteryes of the capital city. The preparations for Memorial day in the capital this year are on a larger scale than ever before. Thousands upon thousands of ex-service men die during every year, and never can there be a lack of names on the soldier death list until war for all time shall pass away. No grave is neglected, whether it be that of one who fought in the Revolution, or of one for whom taps was sounded after he had laid down his rifle as a soldier in the regular army of today. Poppy the Memorial Flower. Some time ago the largest organization of ex-service men of the World war voted to supplant the poppy of France with the daisy of America as the Memorial flower of the Legion. Quickly after this action was taken it was reconsidered and the poppy has come back into its own. It is difficult to find any man who served in the war for civilization who does not hold to the poppy as the proper floral emblem of an order whose men fought in the fields where the blood-red flower grows. In Washington today poppies are being sold for the benefit of the Memorial day fund for the graves of the soldiers of the World war. Possibly it is not generally realized how many women there were who actually entered into the armed service of the United States. Many women were enlisted for semi-military duty. Some of these duties involved personal danger to the enlisted. This month in Washington the ex-service women are engaged in the work of making poppies. It is difficult to tell without the use of the sense of touch that the flowers which they are making are not the poppies of Flanders' Field. On every grave of a veteran of the World war in France and in the United States on Memorial day poppies will have a place with the flowers of the homeland. In France the greatest Memorial day exercises will be witnessed at Romagne, where about 20,000 American soldiers lie awaiting the revelle. The French gave to the United States forever the great tract where the majority of the American dead lie buried. From a height near Romagne can be see Mount Faucon and the shadowing outlines of the Argonne forests with all the fields of battle which lie in between. There on mountain, on hillside, on plain and in valley Americans gave up their lives for liberty. Most of them lie virtually where they fell, and on May 30 of this year and on May 30 of all the years to come they will not be forgotten. Fund of $350,000 Is Needed. It is understood that the sum of $350,000 will be necessary to insure that on every Memorial day flowers of America and France will be placed upon the resting place of every American soldier of the World war. The fund will remain untouched, the interest only being used. A liberal computation has been made, and it is believed that if the sum of fifty cents for each grave be set aside it will be sufficient to remember worthily the dead of the World war. It has been said that there is satisfaction in the ranks of the veterans of the World war that the poppy of Flanders' Field, and all Europe for that matter, has been reinstated in its place as the memorial emblem of the American Legion. It is the poppy of Flanders, of the valley of the Marne and of the Moselle, and of the fields bordering the stretches of the Meuse and the forests of the Argonne. For centuries in France the poppy has been regarded as the war flower, or, perhaps, rather as the flower of war's aftermath. Its color is significant of sacrifice, and as it grows abundantly on virtually all of the battlefields of France, and as the whole country at one time or another has been a battlefield, the poppy has come to be looked upon as a fitting memorial of the dead heroes of the land. The French soldier looks upon the poppy as a symbolic flower. Today American soldiers who served side by side with the French look upon it likewise. Lodge and the World Court. What action will the senate committee on foreign relations take on President Harding's proposal for American membership in the International Court of Justice? The answer to this question perhaps is more vital to the subject matter of the President's proposal than is the result of the President's appeals as they make themselves manifest in the attitude of the people of the country. Every politician and every student of the world court matter is looking ahead to next December, and in the meantime is trying to learn something in advance of the possible action of the senate committee which will have in charge the work of making a report on the plan to the greater body of the senate. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, the chairman of the foreign relations committee, already has issued a statement on the court plan generally. The senator did not commit himself definitely one way or the other, but he said enough to make it known that if he continues to feel as he feels today he is likely to favor some changes in the President's proposal when the matter goes before his committee for consideration. Senate Committee Will Be Changed. The foreign relations committee will not be the same body next winter that it is today. The committee still exists, because senate committees have continuous life just as the senate has, but several of its members dropped out of congress as a result of the last election and their places must be filled as soon as the new congress convenes in December. The administration, because of its advocacy of membership in the world court, of course desires that senators favorable to its plan shall be given places on the committee which is to give the plan consideration and to make report thereon. The administration, however, cannot appoint senate committees, and neither is it supposed to exercise any influence in the appointment matter. Senators are extremely jealous of their prerogatives. The new Republican and Democratic members on the foreign relations committee will be appointed by the senate, the Republican majority picking its men and the Democratic minority picking its men for the vacant places. These three Republican senators on the committee were defeated for reelection at the polls last November: McCumber of North Dakota, New of Indiana and Kellogg of Minnesota. Two Democratic members of the committee, Pomerene of Ohio and Hitchcock of Nebraska, were defeated for re-election, while Senator Williams of Mississippi, also a committee member, declined to be a candidate to succeed himself. Compromise Is Expected. So it will be seen that there are six vacancies in the committee. Every one of the Republicans remaining in the committee is bitterly or almost bitterly opposed to the League of Nations. From what one learns from Senator Lodge's recent statement on the court matter, and from what one or two other of the senators have imparted quietly to the party managers, it is evident that there is a likelihood that most of the Republicans on the committee will accept the President's court plan but will urge some reservations or changes. Concerning the Democrats on the committee, it seems likely that most of them will be favorable to the court proposal, but a committee which is dominated by the Republicans would much prefer that the body make a report backed by Republican votes rather than by a bare majority made up of committee members of both parties. Therefore it seems likely that the Republican majority will attempt to reach some finding which can receive the votes of all its members. No one knows yet definitely what Republicans will be appointed to fill the three committee vacancies, nor for that matter is it known what Democrats will be appointed to fill the Democratic vacancies. It can be said definitely that the hopes of the friends of the administration's court plan are that opponents of the proposal not be chosen for committee membership. If the country shall show an unmistakable approval of the administration's court plan the senate committee will give its approval, for it probably would not care nor dare to oppose the nation's will in the matter.

Weer and wealth and strength of." MEMORIAL or Decoration Day as it is more commonly known is of American origin, and until recent years, its observance was confined to American shores. But with the ending of the world war and our soldier dead resting in many overseas graves, Memorial Day becomes now a sacred, sanctified, glorified international, if not a world-wide custom. The history of any nation will grow in brilliancy and its ideals, if they be just, remain untarnished, so long as that nation finds comfort and honor in commemorating the deeds of valor and patriotism of its heroic dead, and in cherishing with love and gratitude their blessed memories. American citizens are reminded that Memorial Day had its origin by fellow Americans strewing flowers of devotion upon the graves of their own countrymen, sometimes their own kin. Today France, Belgium and England will have cause to visit American cemeteries within their own domains not alone to strew flowers, but to bless the nation that gave so freely of her men, so generously of her money, and so efficiently of her strength and material, that a civilized world was saved the horror of being crushed beneath the iron heel of militarism. "But we do not assemble to awaken bitter memories of battle and slaughter. We do not meet to rekindle the vengeful fires of hate and passion. We do not gather to exult over the defeated. We do not come together to glorify war or to exalt militarism. We meet rather to dedicate anew the power and wealth and strength of the nation to liberty, humanity and justice."

No longer can he hear the feel his men forward in defense of muffled tones of a drum be unshrouded in an American flair with the dust of his native land gaveth. THE last sad chapter in the life's history of Col. Chas. Young will have been written June 2nd when his body will be lowered in a grave in Arlington National Cemetery at Washington, D. C. Appropriate military ceremonies will mark the event and full honors showered upon the memory of the distinguished officer of the U. S. Army, who died in Lagos, Liberia, January 8th, 1922. The name of Col. Chas. Young will be long connected with the military history of this nation for he was distinctly a soldier of the first rank and an army disciplinarian second to none. It is hardly meet that we should at this time dwell upon the tragic circumstances attendant upon his death, an end brought about more because of a broken heart and crushed spirit than from any other causes. Rather should we prefer to shroud his memory in the eloquence of silence for could our hearts but speak myriads would pay willing tribute and homage to the memory of this great man. He loved America, the land of his forebears, with devoted zeal. He prided himself and the U. S. Army that he so faithfully served. He was a leader of men, of courage unquestioned, of devotion unbounded, yet who in every storm of passion wisely counselled patience, forbearance and moderation. He knew no motive but honor, no monitor but duty, no incentive but service, and no breath of suspicion ever clouded his name. In all that is tangible in the life and career of Col. Young, the Negro race is chief beneficiary. He gave to the world its most telling lesson that the Negro possessed courage, genius and capacity for leadership. He was an honored American soldier, but he won his spurs through a life of unusual activity and against stupendous odds. He knew how to take orders as well as to give them. He built character more securely than fame, for after all character is the only enduring element of human achievements. He built that character in human service, sacrificial devotion and in a duty performed with kindness that lightened the burden of all. Around his grave national figures and army dignitaries will assemble. It will be no empty display of pomp and vanity, but an earnest tribute to a worthy citizen, a distinguished soldier and honored officer. No longer can he hear the fevered tom-toms of the war drums, nor urge his men forward in defense of the flag of his country. But amid the muffled tones of a drum beat, sounding the last "taps," his casket enshrouded in an American flag, his body will be lowered to mingle with the dust of his native land while his spirit returns to the God that gaveeth. AN OPINION WORTH WHILE torial in his paper, the Dearborn likely word to say relative to rac hatred in America, even though that calls itself superior can pro- to help others, and can attain it ers. The Negro is a human be- peace and prosperity, and as- say to develop and exhibit those an rights. Where the Negro h a community asset; his labor IN A RECENT editorial in his paper, the Dearborn Independent, Henry Ford has this timely word to say relative to race relations: "There is no need of race hatred in America, even though there is a race question. The race that calls itself superior can prove its superiority only by superior ability to help others, and can attain its racial destiny only as helper of the others. The Negro is a human being capable of integrity, loyalty, domestic peace and prosperity, and as a human being he is entitled to opportunity to develop and exhibit those qualities and to enjoy his natural human rights. Where the Negro has been given opportunity he has proved a community asset; his labor and his contribution to the development of the country are capable of being increased. Race correction by education is always the superior way, and not coersion. The Negro should be given a chance, and should be regarded with full humanity and treated with entire justice." We must confess that the above editorial gives to us a most refreshing and interesting side light on Henry Ford, that was sadly needed after his published views on the Jewish question some time ago. For reasons, perhaps as erroneous as they are inexplainable, the impression is prevalent that an American citizen holding prejudices against any one race might be expected to hold them to some degree against other races. Such a position, however, is not necessarily logical as the forceful Independent article proves. The matter of race and color has largely influenced our estimate of Senator Hiram Johnson of California as a presidential possibility, because of his strong prejudices against the Japanese. The argument has been freely advanced that this presaged his views on the Negro question also. It may be that our conclusions were wrong and that the militant California Senator may, like Henry Ford, share entirely different opinions so far as our group is concerned. Certainly the automobile wizard has a way of doing things peculiarly his own, and since as a presidential possibility Henry Ford has passed the joke stage, some weight must be attached to his opinions. We do not mean by this that political expediency or even political forecasting prompted the Dearborn Independent editorial, for we prefer to believe that the article means just what it says, that the "Negro is a human being capable of integrity, loyalty, domestic peace and prosperity, etc." That is a beautiful concept and one clearly set forth. Just now consternation prevails in some quarters because of the large number of Negroes who are leaving the southland in search of better conditions as to living and labor in the North. The white man is unduly alarmed over the situation. He contends that the Negro is leaving his "best friends" to try out new conditions in a section of the country climatically opposed to their best interests. This solicitude on the part of the southern white man at this time is but little short of pathetic. Would not a liberal sprinkling of the Fordian policies have a soothing effect on the situation. The Baltimore Afro-American neatly sums up our ideas in this fashion: The migration movement has reached such proportions that nothing short of a complete re-adjustment of conditions in the South to meet the competition of conditions in other sections of the country will serve to save this section from being depleted of its most valuable labor. No half-hearted measures will do any good. The old methods of remunerating a few Negro leaders, of building a good school here and there, or the establishment of a playground or park cannot stop the onward rush now. Negroes are moving away by the thousands and manufacturers and farmers of the South know that potential dollars are leaving with every man and woman man and Only complete abolition of ALL THE INJUSTICES and the grant- ing of ALL THE PRIVILEGES of citizenship will stem the tide.

Michaelson's CORNER 15TH AND LARIMER STREETS RESIGNATION IS NOT ACCEPTED PRESIDENT MILLERAND REFUSES TO LET POINCARE AND CABINET RESIGN FRENCH PREMIER QUITS MINISTERS WITHDRAW WHEN PROSECUTION OF COMMUNISTS IS VOTED DOWN Paris.—Premier Poincare and his colleagues in the cabinet submitted their resignations to President Millerand, but the president declined to accept them. The action of the ministers was the outcome of the refusal of the Senate to proceed with the trial of Marcel Cachin and other Communists charged with illegal acts against the French republic. M. Poincare informed the correspondents he interpreted the vote in the Senate as proof of want of confidence in the cabinet, which made it impossible for the ministry to act against Communist plots. The ministry remains in office. President Millerand holding that the vote of the Senate was purely judicial and without political effect. Immediately after the meeting of the Senate, M. Polnarec called a council of ministers. A brief discussion took place and then the premier and his colleagues proceeded to Elysee palace to place their resignations in the hands of the president. The Senate, sitting as a high court in secret session, voted relative to the trial of Communists on the following points: First: Can the court declare itself competent or incompetent? Second: Should the question of competency be referred to a committee? Third: Is the court competent? The Senate voted in the affirmative on the first question and in the negative on the last two questions, the final vote being 148 to 104. The senate's vote was a complete surprise. While it was known that several senators disapproved of the use of the high court, heretofore reserved for outstanding figures such as Gen. Boulanger, Caillaux and Malvy, to try politicians of the caliber of Cachin and his associates, who, it was held, could be dealt with more cheaply and less elaborately by ordinary courts, it was not believed that a majority of the senators took this view. No one was more surprised than the ministers, who, after the chamber rose, went home to prepare to attend a reception at Elysee palace in honor of Pasteur. When M. Colrat learned of the vote in the senate he hastened to the foreign office, where M. Polincare was still working, and told him that, having, as minister of justice, urged the trial of Cachin before the high court, the senate's vote amounted to a disapproval of him, and he was bound to resign. M. Polincare replied in his opinion the senate's decision involved the entire cabinet, it having jointly undertaken to repress communist activities. He added that he was about to summon the ministers to decide upon the course to adopt. After a brief discussion the ministers indorsed the premier's view, and he went to Elysee and handed President Millerand the joint resignation of the cabinet. President Millerand argued that it was understood that the senate was sitting in a judicial capacity, and that its votes must be considered in the light of rulings from the bench, and ought not to be considered as votes of confidence or censure of the government's general policy. He therefore declined to accept the resignations. America's War Bill Exceeds Billion Washington—America's bill of war claims against Germany amounts to $1,479,064,313.92, as it has been presented to the mixed claims commission for settlement. The United States government itself is the largest claimant, asking for $360,113,000, while the smallest of the 12,416 claims filed with the commission is for $1. Crops Damaged in Cloud Burst Clinton, Okla.—Damage to crops amounting to millions of dollars is believed to have resulted from a series of virtual cloudbursts that descended on western Oklahoma a few days ago. All rivers in the district flooded the low lands and thousands of acres are under water. Manville Loses $21,000 Note Suit. New York.—A Supreme Court jury awarded Dr. Alonzo E. Austin $21,000, with interest, in his suit against Charles B. Manville, aged asbestos manufacturer, based on notes which Dr. Austin claimed to have signed to accommodate Manville. Manville's counter claim for $20,000 based on an allegation that Mr. Austin induced him to invest in worthless oil stocks with the aid of a "black art" practitioner, who turned out at the trial to be a spiritualist medium, was denied.

The recurrent miracle of the spring provides the outward and visible sign of its inward and spiritual grace. So there will be flowers, both for the Blue and for the Gray and for the Khaki which the Blue and Gray united to make. Again shall we see the aged forms of the veterans who fought under Grant and under Lee, under Sherman and Stonewall Jackson; under Sheridan and Stuart. And do not let time dim for you the martial glories of their battles. For there is more to Memorial Day than smiles and tears and tears and smiles for the Blue and the Gray. The United States of America does not go around with chip on shoulder. But you know, and I know, away down deep, that we Americans are the most warlike people on this earth, and the most desperate in battle. The Stars and Stripes has never yet trailed in defeat! Yes, there was fighting at Belleau Wood and at Chateau Thierry. But there was fighting at Gettysburg and Antietam, too. Read these lines by the laconic Grant, who never wasted a word, and saw things as they were, in his chapter entitled "Battle of the Wilderness": "At 5:10 in the afternoon Lee attacked our left. His line moved up to within a hundred yards of ours and opened a heavy fire. . . . The enemy pushed through our lines, planting their flags on a part of the intrenchments not on fire. . . . Fighting had continued from five in the morning, sometimes along the whole line, at other times only in places. The ground fought over varied in width, but averaged three-quarters of a mile. The killed, and many of the severely wounded of both armies lay within this belt, where it was practically impossible to reach them. The woods were set on fire by the bursting shells and the conflagration raged. The wounded who had not strength to move themselves were either suffocated or burned to death. Finally, the fire communicated with our breastworks in places. Being constructed of wood they burned with great fury. But the battle still raged, our men firing through the flames until it became too hot to remain longer. Lee was now in distress. . . . During the night all of Lee's army withdrew within their intrenchments." Let us give full meed of honor to the survivors of those heroic days. For soon there will be no survivors either in Blue or Gray. Consider the story that comes from Bradford, Pa. Because only eight of the 134 Civil war veterans who made up Encampment No. 7, Union Veteran legion, are still living, and only three of this number are able to leave their homes, the roster has been presented to the McKean County Historical society for preservation. The encampment was made up of veterans who flocked to Bradford with the discovery of oil soon after the close of the war. They represented more than 100 regiments and most of them had been wounded in action. New York contributed 41, Despite Gravity's Law This story is told of an Irish lawyer named Keller who was famous for his native wit but who, partly from indoence and partly from a frivolous disposition, did not succeed particularly well in his profession. Another lawyer named Mayne, as sober and ponderous as Keller was light-minded and clever, was made a judge, much to Keller's exation. On one occasion the impertinent lawyer was sitting in the Pennsylvania 29, Ohio 12, Wisconsin 5, Massachusetts and Vermont 3 each, Illinois and Connecticut 2 each and Indiana, Kansas, Missouri and Michigan 1 each. Time, they say, heals all wounds. It is well that it does. But time, also, erases memories. And this is not so well. Time should not be allowed to entice us away from the "music of the bolsterous drum and silver voice of the heroic bugle" of the days of 1861-5. American citizenship came out of the crash of combat, not only unscathed and unblemished, but also enriched and glorified, and it was for that very citizenship the war was fought. The Spanish-American war was a short war and soon over. But it was a tremendously important war for all that. This war put the American Navy on the Seven Seas to stay. It made the United States a world-power over night. It was to the world an object lesson that the American of 1898 was still the same old fighting man of 1770 and 1812 and 1848 and 1861. And it was in this war that the Blue and the Gray first blended into the Khakl. When Miles and Wheeler fought under the Star-Spangled Banner and drove the blood-red flag of Spain with its yellow heart from its last staff in the Western Hemisphere, the way was clear for complete reconciliation between the North and South. One day in 1898 a great transport of the United States, bearing 2,000 American soldiers and sailors, left a dock in the Hudson river for the Philippines. This great ship turned north instead of south and steamed slowly up the Hudson to the tomb of Grant. And then a mighty salute was given. When the Grant memorial was dedicated in Washington it was a veteran in Gray who flung out the Flag and said: "He gave us this!" No more reverent homage is paid at the tomb of the "Unknown Dead" in Arlington than by the Gray veterans of 1861-5. Sald President Harding last month at Augusta—and remember that it was through Georgia that Sherman marched "from Atlanta to the sea." "I believe the framing of the Constitution was inspired; I believe it with God's intent, and yet there was an ambiguity in this Constitution that brought the North and South together in a great civil war, and that ambiguity had to be wiped out at great costs; and yet, again, this is one of the best things that has ever happened to the American republic, because it has brought us to a greater understanding. "I want to say now, I don't believe there is a vestige of the Civil war feeling left in the United States. I spoke last year to an assemblage of Confed- courtroom where Judge Mayne was solemnly presiding. Suddenly he plucked a brother attorney by the sleeve. "Look at that," he whispered. "There's Mayne risen by his gravity, and here I am sunk by my levity. What would Sir Isaac Newton make of that, I wonder?"—Youth's Companion. Woods for Furniture The history of various kinds of woods as used in furniture making is a long and colorful one. It is almost impossible to find any known tree or erate veterans. I never had such a cordial reception in my life. "I have been President of the United States a little more than two years, and I have never heard more cordial expressions, more generous tenders of co-operation, more earnest wishes for the good fortune of the republic than those which have come from the states of the South, and which are not in party sympathy with the administration." Abraham Lincoln once said, away back in 1837: "From 1777 to 1837—60 long years—the Nation has thrived and grown great in the visible presence of the surviving heroes and heroes of the Revolution, the very sight of them inspiring us. But now, in 1837, these are all gone, with few exceptions, and the Nation is closing the door upon the heroism of the past; and must now turn and face, without this inspiration, a future, which I cannot know, and you cannot know, and only God Himself can foretell." So in 1923 we of this day and generation have thrived and grown great for 60 long years in the visible presence of the heroes of 1831-5. Now the heroes of that time—and no finer, smarter fighting men ever marched at the double-quick—are bent and stooped, tired by the long march, almost ready to break ranks for the last bivouac. But for the next 60 years of the nation there is a new heroslm—the heroslm of the boys in Khakil. May the coming generations thrive and grow great in their visible presence. May their visible presence be as inspiring as that of the men of 1776 and the men of 1861! "The loftest tribute we can bestow today—the heroically earned tribute—fashioned in deliberate conviction, out of unclouded thought, neither shadowed by remorse nor made vain by fancies, is the commitment of this Republic to an advancement never made before," said President Harding at the burial of the "Unknown Dead" at Arlington. "If American achievement is a cherished pride at home, if our unselfishness among nations is all we wish it to be, and ours is a helpful example in the world, then let us give our influence and strength, yea, of our aspirations and convictions, to put mankind on a little higher plane, exulting and exalting, with war's distressing and depressing tragedies barred from the stage of righteous civilization." shrub that has not at one time or other been used in some way on some kind of furniture, no matter how finished or crude. Such shrubs as could not be adapted in any way to the main body were used as curious inlay or veneers. Made Haste In Comfort My little niece, seeing for the first time a man on a bicycle, called to her mother, "Oh, mamma, mamma, come quick and see the man what sets down and runs!"—Chicago Tribune. TO THE men of '61 and to the men of '18 as well as to the men who served in the war of 1898 we pause to do equal and impartial homage. All have upheld the spirit of the republic; all have done their wonderful best to make our nation fulfill the ideal of the poet: Zeulons, yet modest; Innocent, though free; Patient of toil; serene amidst xhrms; Inflexible in faith, invincible in arms. DAY OF HIGH SIGNIFICANCE Memorial Spirit Has Become Much More Than a Mere Tribute to the Heroic Dead. Every time the people of this country observe Memorial day the obligation becomes greater. For each year more have passed from this life to whom is owed the debt of gratitude for services rendered in the development and preservation of the nation. This is the true spirit of Memorial day, to commemorate the services of those who wrought for the republic, who served it in its hours of trial, who died for it. Originally conceived as an occasion for the bestowal of memories upon those who fell in the wars, the day has broadened, as it should broaden, into a commemoration of all who have given of their talents and wisdom as well as their strength and their life blood that the United States might survive and grow and become an institution for the highest achievements and the greatest happiness of man. Those who have given their lives, or who suffered in bodily hurts in the wars in which this country has been involved, naturally come first in this reckoning of honor and praise today. But true patriotic service is not measured solely by military duty, great as may have been the sacrifice entailed by it. Statesmanship and citizenship in times of peace as well as in times of war have contributed to the upkeeping of the national ideals. It is, perhaps, the best of all thoughts inspired by Memorial day that tokens of gratitude and reverence A are placed upon the graves of those who fought on both sides of the war between the states. This day, though it had its origin in the memories of that war when the rancors of civil strife had not subsided, is now a truly national service. The healing of that breach is most surely made manifest by the association of the representatives of both sections in the ceremonies that take place in all parts of the country. The United States has become the stronger, the more surely a union of interests and the object of the highest wishes of men of all parts and states and sections because of the feelings that are each year on Memorial day given expression in the places of public assemblage, in orations, in music and in the impressive observances at the graves of the dead. Growing in significance year by year, participated in more generally by the people of all the states, with a longer list of Americans who have given all they had for the nation's sake and for their ideals of America, Memorial day becomes one of the bulwarks of the nation. It is an inspiration to youth as it is a solace to the elders.—New York Sun. How sleep the brave who sink to rest By all their country's wishes blest! When Spring, with dewy fingers cold, Returns to deck the hallowed mould She there shall dress a sweeter sod Than Fancy's feet have ever trod. By fairy hands their knell is rung; By forms unseen their dirge is sung; There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray; To bless the turf that wraps their clay. And Freedom shall awhile repair To dwell a weeping hermit there. —William Collins. --- Pessimists Were Answered. It had been said that this country was not a nation, because it could not count upon the foreign-born in an emergency. The answer rang out at Cantigny*, at Chateau-Thierry, in the swift advance through St. Mihiel, in the desperate and triumphant fighting in the Argonne. ```markdown ``` Real Lesson of the Day.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) In the ordinary refrigerator, unless the milk container is in actual contact with the ice, the milk will be colder at the bottom of the refrigerator than in the ice compartment, for cold air settles rapidly. The refrigerator should be kept clean and sweet at all times, says the United States Department of Agriculture. Inspecting it thoroughly at least once a week is a good plan, to see that the outlet for water from the melting ice is open and that the space under the ice rack is clean. The food compartments should be scaled every week. Put Milk at Bottom of Icebox. single drop of spilled milk or a particle of neglected food will contaminate a refrigerator in a few days. Sometimes, in very hot weather, in spite of all precautions, milk sours quickly, even in the refrigerator. This is often due to the fact that the air of the refrigerator, although cool in contrast with the heat outside, is really not cold enough to check the growth of the bacteria in the milk. If a thermometer placed inside registers more than 50 degrees F. the fault cannot be laid entirely to the quality of the milk. Milk should be kept covered to exclude not only dirt and bacteria but also flavors and odors, which it readily absorbs. It should be kept away from foods of strong odor, such as onions, cabbage or fish. Bottled milk should be kept in the bottle in which it is delivered until needed for use. Serving milk on the table in the original bottle is sanitary. The mouth of the bottle should be cleaned carefully before the milk is poured from it, and only what is needed for immediate use should be poured out. The bottle should be kept covered with a paper cap or an inverted tumbler as long as there is milk in it. New milk should never be mixed with old unless it is to be used at once; the old milk is likely to contain a larger number of bacteria. Waxed Paper Helps. No one cares much for the job of cleaning up the skillet or baking dish after fish has been cooked in it. However, a great deal of the disagreeable part will be eliminated if you line the pan with waxed paper before putting in the fish. Use Bolling Water. With most vegetables it is a mistake to start them in cold water, as they lose their flavor. Put them into water that is already boiling. flour, in which has been sifted the salt and soda. Gradually stir in the water. Drop the mixture by spoonfuls on a greased tin and bake for about 20 minutes in a moderate oven. If desired, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder may be used instead of the lemon juice and soda. Parched Cornmeal and Peanut Biscuits. 1 cup yellow corn- 1 cup peanut butter. 1 teaspoonful salt. 1½ cups water. Put the meal into a shallow pan and heat in the oven until it is a delicate brown, stirring frequently. Mix the peanut butter and water, add salt, and heat. While the mixture is hot, stir in the meal, which also should be hot. Beat thoroughly. The dough should be of such consistency that it can be dropped from a spoon. Bake in small cakes in an ungreased pan. This recipe makes 16 biscuits. CLUBS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS Products Exhibited and Methods Shown Which Enabled Young People to Succeed. Teams of young Iowa farmers and future home makers gave demonstrations in 12 booths in the boys' and girls' clubs building at the interstate fair at Sloux City, Iowa, last September. Through the co-operation of the extension services of 12 participating states, the fair association, and the United States Department of Agriculture, not only were club products exhibited, but representative teams showed the methods which had enabled them to succeed in winning the highest ranks among the 180,000 club members in all the North Central states participating. They demonstrated butter and cheese making, caring for milk, making milk drinks; steps in successful poultry raising; baking bread; canning fruit and vegetables; making clothing—carefully showing each step of these various processes. The 12 booths illustrated 12 lines of club work—corn, poultry, pigs, potatoes, sheep, dalrying, canning, home arrangement and decoration, bread, food, clothing and handicraft. The value of club products in the 12 states in 1921 was $2,640,000—a striking contribution for these boys and girls to make to the agriculture of their states. MAKE CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE Suggested by Department of Agriculture Expert as Change—Recipe Given for Filling. When wondering what to have as a change for dessert, why not serve a chocolate pie? The United States Department of Agriculture gives the following recipe: Prepare filling from the following: 2 cups milk. 2 ounces grated ¼ teaspoonful salt. chocolate (or 4 ¼ cup sugar. tablespoonfuls powdered coo- nristarch. 4 tablespoon o'fuls powdered coo- nristarch. 2 egg yolks. 2 egg whites for 1 teaspoonful va- meringue. Cook until thick enough to pile. Prepare a single crust for this pie by rolling the dough for it on the outside of an inverted pletin which has been lightly dusted with flour beforehand. When baked for five minutes this shell may be slipped off and placed inside the pletin, ready for the filling. This is a good way to prepare a perfectly smooth and well-fitting lower crust for ples which are to hold liquid or semiliquid fillings. Add the filling. Place in hot oven until filling just bubbles. Remove from the oven and spread over the pie the stiffly beaten egg whites mixed with two or three tablespoonfuls sugar. Return to the oven until the meringue is delicately browned on top. This serves five or six. Sweet oil applied to a burn soon alleviates the pain. * * * Silk hosiery will wear longer if laundered before wearing. * * * Serve greens in the spring menu.

An apple of attractive skin may be flint and tasteless. In judging oranges and grape fruit, the weight, if heavy, will denote a fruit full of juice. vor. An apple or attractive skin may be flat and tasteless. In judging oranges and grape fruit, the weight, if heavy, will denote a fruit full of juice. Thick-skinned, pulpy fruit will be light when tested in the hand. A pineapple should be heavy and its center leaves easily removed, to prove its ripeness. Bananas may be purchased and ripened at home by keeping them in a paper bag. Bananas are not good food when firm and crisp. The skin may be black, but if the fruit is still mellow, not soft or mushy, they are in fine condition for eating. Fruit kept in the home will keep much better if separated; it is the fact of contact and often the weight pressing into the fruit which cause decay. Wash all fruit that has been handled, such as apples, oranges or grapefruit, as well as the smaller fruits. Bananas are protected by their covering. Grapes should be dipped, a bunch at a time, into a large dish of cold water. An abundance of fruits in season will be found to be a good investment, for the family who serves it plentifully will be less liable to disease. An attractive way of serving bananas is to peel them at the end and, using a potato cutter, cut the fruit into balls; drop into a dish with a little lemon juice and mix well, but lightly, then sprinkle with sugar; add a little pineapple juice or a few cubes of pineapple, some maraschino cordial and a cherry or two to garnish the top of the sherbet cup after arranging the banana balls. One thing important to remember is to remove the fibers or strings from the sides of the bananas when peeling them; this substance is astringent and causes trouble in some stomachs. Baked Apples.—Wash and core good-flavored apples; core carefully, not to go through the apple. Fill the cavity with ralsins, butter and a little brown sugar. Bake in a baking dish with a little water, basting occasionally. Serve with cream and sugar. Fruit Salad.—Dice three or four apples, squeeze over them a little lemon juice; add one cupful of quartered marshmallows, one diced banana and two slices of pineapple, cut into dice. To a cupful of thick cream, whipped, add two tablespoonfuls of mayonnaise dressing. Pour this over the salad and chill before serving. Yes! they are here again, the long, long, days After the days of winter, pinched and white; GOOD THINGS FOR OCCASIONS A very attractive salad which is neither expensive nor difficult to prepare is: Cheese Salad.— Take two tablespoonfuls of gelatin, cover with one tablespoonful of cold water, let stand to soften. Cheese Salad.—Take two tablespoonfuls of gelatin, cover with one tablespoonful of cold water, let stand to soften, then add a tablespoonful of boiling water. When cool fold the gelatin into one cupful of cream, whipped, add four tablespoonfuls of good American cheese, grated. Pour into molds and allow to stand until firm. Serve on lettuce with mayonnaise dressing. Caramel Nut Sauce.—Take two cupfuls of dark brown sugar, one tablespoonful of butter and two tablespoonfuls of flour. Cook until smooth, add one-half teaspoonful of vanilla and any kind of chopped nuts. Serve over ice cream. Nut Salad.—Chop equal parts of almonds, walnuts and pecans. Moisten with salad dressing and arrange on rounds of pineapple in a nest of lettuce. Serve with wafers. Kentucky Salad.—Take one-half of a can of pineapple, cut into large pieces, dissolve one package of lemon gelatin in one cupful of hot water, add one cupful of pineapple juice, the pineapple, blanched whole almonds, three small sweet pickles cut into very thin slices. Mold and serve with mayonnaise and whipped cream on crisp lettuce leaves. Banana Croquettes.—Peel the fruit, scraping the banana to remove all fibers, cut off each end and dip the fruit into lemon juice, then into egg and crumbs and fry in deep fat. Serve as a garnish to the roast, surrounding it on the platter. Molded Fish.—Butter an oval mold or a fish mold, lay in it a strip of boned fish, then a layer of buttered bread crumbs, season with melted butter, onion juice, pepper, salt and curry; add more fish until the mold is full. Molsten with half a cupful of fish stock or milk, an egg to bind the mixture. Bake one-half hour, unmold and serve with a hot tomato sauce. (6, 1923, Western Newspaper Union) Last night the unseen gates swung back so softly no one knew The hosts of sweet remembered things that slyly trembled through: Unworded promise fills the air— song, bloom and green surprise Are heralding the Spring's approach beneath pure azure skies. This is the time of the year when green foods are beginning to come in. Spinach, watercress, lettuce and greens of various kinds will be abundant. Ple- plant is already in the market and is a fine spring tonic. If too tart, add Spinach, watercress, lettuce and greens of various kinds will be abundant. Ple-plant is already in the market and is a fine spring tonic. If too tart, add raisins, figs or dates to sweeten. The old spring tonic of sulphur and molasses was considered important. Now we know that a dish of spinach, asparagus or a salad of watercress and dandelions does the cleansing work much more agreeably. An apple or an orange can do much to quicken the sluggish liver. Rhubarb Pudding.—Butter slices of bread, place in a baking dish and cover with finely cut pleplant; sprinkle with sugar and repeat until enough has been provided to fill the dish. Add a little water and bake until the rhubarb is done. Serve hot or cold, with cream. Rhubarb Dessert.—Stew a pound of rhubarb in just enough water to cover or to keep it from burning. Sweeten to taste and put through a sieve. When cold add a cupful of whipped cream; mix well and serve in sherbet cups with a bit of pineapple and a maraschino no cherry on top of each glass. Fresh strawberries may be substituted, if desired. Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear; Full many a flower is born to blush unseen. And waste its sweetness on the desert air. —Gray Did you ever try: Swiss Toast—Masn one pint of fresh ripe strawberries sweeten to taste. Cut five slices of bread and cover each slice with berries. Heat two tablespoonfuls of butter in a frying fresh Ripe strawberries sweeten to taste. Cut five slices of bread and cover each slice with berries. Heat two tablespoonfuls of butter in a frying pan, put in the slices with the berries and fry carefully, basting with the juice and butter while frying. Transfer to a hot platter and pour the rest of the juice over them and serve at once. Rinji Dessert.—Peel and slice two small bananas, two pears and one tart apples. Melt in a saucepan one teaspoonful of butter, add one-half dozen blanched almonds shredded fine and one teaspoonful of plistachio powder. Stir a minute, then add one-half cupful of milk and the fruit. Cook for two minutes, add a grating of nutmeg, one slice of plain cake broken into bits; cover the pan for three minutes, remove the cover, add one-half cupful of orange juice and it is ready to serve. Baked Fresh Fish.—Stuff any kind of good-sized fish with a highly seasoned dressing, using chopped onion for the seasoning. Sew up the fish, lay on a strip of cheesecloth or a rooster tray and baste often while baking. Serve with horseradish sauce. Use three or four tablespoonfuls of freshly grated horseradish mixed with a little mild vinegar, sugar, salt and cayenne pepper, then fold in two tablespoonfuls of whipped cream and serve at once. Savory Croquettes.—Rice six boiled sweet potatoes, add two teaspoonfuls of salt, two tablespoonfuls of butter, and a few dashes of pepper. Add a small amount of hot milk if needed to mold into croquettes. Fry six small sausages, mold the mashed potatoes around each, placing half a sausage in each. Fold in crumbs and egg and fry in deep fat. Sliced, cored apples, fried, makes a tasty accompaniment to this dish. Meringue Shells.—These shells will keep a week if kept in a dry place. Beat the whites of six eggs to a stiff froth and mix very lightly with one half pound of powdered sugar. Be sure that they are well mixed but not beaten. Put a sheet of paper on a board, drop the mixture by tablespoonfuls on the paper and dust thickly with powdered sugar. Bake in a moderate oven. Keep the meringues two inches apart and shape them with the spoon. When the tops are brown, lift them off the paper with a spatula break in the bottom and remove the soft center, then dry. When serving fill with sweetened and flavored whipped cream, with ice cream or any sherbet or frozen dish.

That is, the bertha serves in lieu of sleeves as it charmingly veils the arm to the elbow. Ever so many canton crepe frocks, absolutely sleeveless, carry out this idea and the effect is modest and charmingly adapted to summer gowning. Such is the basic idea of the lovely silk frock here illustrated. The bertha effect is there, supplemented with a sheer mallines semi-sleeve. The fabric of which this gown is fashioned is worthy of especial comment in that it carries throughout its weave a drop-titch which gives the effect of drawwork, and this is an item of style advanced this season.
