LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY RACE IS WELL REPRESENTED AT NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF SOCIAL WORK SOCIAL WORKERS LISTEN TO ADDRESSES BY COLORED MEMBERS VOL. XXIX. RACE IS WELL REPE TIONAL CONFER WO SOCIAL WORKERS LIST COLORED THE National Conference of Social Work met for eight days, from Wednesday, May 16th, to Wednesday, May 23rd, in Washington, D. C. It was this organization's fiftieth anniversary and six thousand delegates were in attendance, among them many prominent colored social workers from many sections throughout the country. The colored race was well represented in all groups of the proceedings. There were two colored members of section committees, George E. Haynes, of the Federal Council of Churches, on the Section on Churches and Eugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Secretary of the National Urban League, on the Section on Public Opinion. Mr. John Hope, president, Morehouse College, persisted at one of the meetings on Health at which time Eugene Kinckle Jones spoke on the subject, "The Negro's Struggle for Health." Mrs. Gertrude E. McDougald, who works as Vocational Advisor in three public schools of New York, under the board of education, spoke at one of the meetings on Children on the subject, "The School and Its Relation to the Vocational Life of the Negro." Charles S. Johnson, director of the Department of Research and Investigations of the National Urban League and editor of "Opportunity," spoke on the subject, "Race Relations and Public Opinion" at one of the group meetings on Public Opinion. In the report of the nominating committee to the conference the names of two colored persons were submitted for membership on the executive committee, namely, Forrester B. Washington, director of Research of the Detroit Community Union, and Eugene Kimcle Jones. Charles S. Johnson spoke in part as follows, "The Negro's struggle for status is similar to that of women and practically the same theories are advanced to "justify" their inferior status. Public Opinion on the Negro is a resolution of individual opinions which tend to regard them as mentally inferior, innately criminal, immoral, physically repulsive, constitutionally weak physically, and irremediably lacking in civic and social responsibilities. These opinions in turn are prompted by beliefs and attitudes handed down ready-made from traditions and supported by theories and philosophies which attempt to rationalize, justify and lend stability to them. These beliefs rest in part upon fact but in respect to these facts there is a general and habitual tendency to assume that the theories about the fact are as unchanging as the facts themselves; to deny new facts when they contradict the theory; and to see facts even that do not exist because the accepted theory demands them. These beliefs, as they exist, tend to crush all hope of the highest development of the Negro by asserting incapacity for improvement beyond a given point. They react upon the Negro group distorting conduct. This distortion in turn provokes and strengthens the appli- --- State Hist & Nat Society State House THE ONLY RELIANCE COLORA PRESENTED AT NA- ENCE OF SOCIAL ORK TEN TO ADDRESSES BY MEMBERS RELIABL ORA THE AT NA- MAL SSES BY Now Fr M First du Hai ings ored session part cation of these beliefs and so on indefinitely, increasing the isolation of the races with each step, and producing mutual and unnecessary fears. If these beliefs and fears can be dissolved, or even honestly questioned, many of our inhibitions of normal, rational and ethical conduct will be removed." Mrs. McDougald in her address said: "No matter how white America may estimate him, the Negro knows that he has contributed sufficiently toward the building up of this country to warrant his claiming a respected place in the nation. Still more than that, he feels he is a factor in the work of the world. He has reason to be proud of the fact that, in making these contributions, he has benefited other groups in the nation even more than he has his own. "A picture of the vocational life of the Negro in the North is not complete if only industrial lines are included. In that section, Negroes are following almost as many vocations as are the whites. The numbers in any of the skilled callings are perhaps unduly small. The variety is nevertheless great. They hold not only positions seldom associated with Negroes but also attain distinction for the character of the work done. One would hardly think of a white monthly magazine of national circulation having as the head of its news service, a colored woman who rose in the organization from the position of stenographer. Nor, that one of New York's largest department stores employs Negro saleswomen, one of whom is head of stock in her department. One would hardly think that a busy New York post office station would have as its superintendent, a colored man who rose from junior clerk, and now has a force of 30 men under him. Would one usually think of a Negro as being the assistant manager in one of the important stores of a drug syndicate? Or, would one imagine that a colored editor-in-chief would pass upon every sheet of music accepted for publication by a music house with branches in several countries. One does not usually think of the scores of Negroes in commercial work or of the many officials of city and state when one discusses the vocational life of the Negro." Eugene Kinckle Jones said, "Strange as it may seem the subject 'The Negro's Struggle for Health'—if properly treated would partake very much of the idea of the Negro's struggle to 'regain health.' Research into the condition of the Negro's health in Africa and in slavery presents a most interesting picture. Many of the diseases to which the Negro is addicted in a much larger proportion in America than whites were diseases quite infrequent or unknown to the Negro in Africa. This is especially true of tuberculosis and syphilis. Under the slave regime, it was to the advantage of the masters to keep their Negro slaves in good health; and thus we find frequent --- Noted Surgeons From Philadelphia Make New History First of Their Race to Conduct a Clinic in the Great Harrisburg Hospital Harrisburg, May 28.—The proceedings of the State Convention of Colored Physicians, which closed its final session here Saturday, will become a part of the extraordinary history of the colored people of the state as well as becoming an interesting page in the general medical history of Pennsylvania. While the proceedings of the convention were of great concern to the medical world because of the technical matters discussed, and the plans adopted for the advancement of medical science, the most important of all things accomplished, however, by the colored physicians during their stay here were the operations performed at a clinic held by eminent colored physicians at the Harrisburg hospital. This clinic, which was held Friday morning from 8:30 to 12 o'clock, noon, marks an epoch in the medical circles of Harrisburg. The entire surgical staff (all white) of the Harrisburg hospital and many other distinguished white physicians were present. The white nurses were particularly courteous in rendering service. The local newspapers gave much space to what they chose to term "the amazing skill of colored physicians." The Harrisburg Telegraph said: "Seven noted colored specialists from Philadelphia, who are attending the convention of Negro physicians in this city, conducted a clinic today at the Harrisburg hospital. "The most interesting of the operations performed this morning was the introduction of the new LaForce method of removing tonsils. Dr. J. E. T. Oxley, noted colored physician of Harrisburg, supervisor of the clinic, stated that this new method is a marvelous step forward in medical science. The operation is made extremely simple. Little or no pain is experienced by the patient and dangerous after effects are practically eliminated. The operation can also be made in much shorter time. "The Philadelphia physicians who operated this morning are: Dr. W. H. Barnes and Dr. G. G. Strickland, who performed four nose and throat operations together; Dr. G. E. Robinson and Dr. J. P. Turner, who made two successful general surgical operations, and Dr. F. C. Anderson, assisted by Dr. M. N. Pannell and Dr. De Haven Hinkson, who performed a major abdominal operation." writings on the subject disclosing a most healthful state among the antebellum Negroes. "The Negro's struggle for health is indeed an effort to learn how to live in the city. The rural Negro has a death rate but little, if at all, in excess of that of the neighboring whites. It is when a Negro comes to the city where he meets strong industrial competition, is forced to live in unsanitary dwellings, is kept in ignorance of the most intelligent methods of preserving good health, that the increased morbidity and mortality of the Negro group are in evidence. In recent years the Negro has become aware of the seriousness of the situation and has organized for health propaganda and deliberately sought to aid the health movements of the city health departments in combating the diseases and removing conditions which have led to the appalling vital statistics which picture health conditions among Negroes." DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1923 DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1923 Abyssinian Church Calls Dr. Powell Pastor for Lifetime Abyssinian Church Calls Dr. Powell Pastor for Lifetime Unusual Tribute to Work of Leading Baptist Divine by Members of Congregation The Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, by vote of some eight hundred members of Abyssinian Baptist Church, has been given a lifetime call to the pastorate of that church. This action was taken at a regular monthly business meeting held in the new church at 140 West 138th street on Wednesday evening, May 16. The suggestion came from S. R. Skerrett, president of the Friendly Society, an auxiliary of the church, which has contributed some $10,000 towards the new building. Mr. Skerrett told the meeting that he thought the members ought to show appreciation to the pastor in a more tangible form than by simply making donations or giving a trip to Europe; that having so nearly completed his great task in providing a magnificent new home for the congregation, the body should elect Dr. Powell as pastor for life. The membership present responded with enthusiasm, rising to their feet and demanding that the matter be put before them for action. William H. Taylor, chairman of the board of deacons, promptly put the suggestion in form of a resolution and the people with one accord acclaimed Dr. Powell as pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church for the remainder of his life. The exhibition of love, esteem and consideration moved the pastor to tears, while the members shouted for joy—New York Age. National Capital Scene of Two More Bloody Race Riots One killed, Others Severely Injured as Shots, Bricks and Other Missles Are Exchanged Washington, May 28.—This city was the scene of two riots early today when officers sought to arrest suspects for alleged violation of the Volstead act in one section of the city, and when a mob started a fight when two men had been arrested for disorderly conduct. The scene of the bloodiest of battles was Gordon avenue, and it was here that Ed Walters was killed by a bullet which entered his skull. A riot call had to be sent in to stop the free for all fight, which was only stopped by the appearance of reserves with levelled automatics. The other mob scene was occasioned when revenue officers attempted to stage a raid on some disorderly houses in the neighborhood of Third and K streets, Northwest. About forty shots, mingled with the crash of thrown bottles, dishes, plates, bricks and a variety of other missiles gave evidence of the fight. Three policemen were severely cut, two young colored men badly used up, and about a dozen of the participants finally lodged in the station house. Several women were also arrested in other sections of the city in various raids, one having to have her wounds dressed at a hospital. In the raids the police got a large quantity of peach brandy and other liquor. Moton Cites Watt Terry As Example for Emulation By Students at Tuske- Moton Cites Watt Terry As Example for Emulation By Students at Tuske- Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—"Watt Terry is a credit to the race and naiton and is the type of man whom I would like to have the students of Tuskegee Institute emulate," declared Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, in addressing the students in the Institute Chapel, at which time he related how Watt Terry of Brockton, Mass., through persistent and painstaking labor, frugality and thrift, has accumulated reality holding valued at approximately one million dollars and has gained the respect of his own race and of the white people of Brockton. Dr. Moton said in part: "I have recently delivered a series of addresses in Brockton, Mass., where I met many interesting people. Of especial interest to me was Mr. Watt Terry, a member of our race whom I have known for many years. Mr. Terry left Virginia some twenty years ago and went to Brockton, where he secured a position as a janitor. Today, his estate, composed of realty holdings in Brockton and New York City according to his information received from an authentic source, is valued at approximately one million dollars. "Mr. Terry did not accomplish this, young people, by standing on the corners and wasting his time in other ways, but by applying himself diligently to his work and saving and investing wisely his earnings. His climb from a janitor to one of the most respected and useful citizens of Brockton has been through difficulties which he has overcome by frugality and determination to forge ahead. Mr. Terry is a credit to the race and nation and is the type of man whom I would like to have you emulate. He is a splendid example of thrift, industry and modesty, and withal a Christian." WHITE PHYSICIAN TO BE IN CHARGE OF VETERAN HOS- PITAL AT TUSKEGEE Washington, D. C., May 28.—The latest on the U. S.

AMERICAN NEGRO GETS JOB AS HEAD OF LIBERIAN ARMY Spokane, Wash., May 30.—Moody Staten, a Negro who held the rank of captain in the American expeditionary forces in France during the World War, today received appointment from the secretary of state to the Liberian army. The Liberian government, a communication from the secretary of state explained, had requested the assignment of an American officer who could assume command of the Liberian army. Staten said he will sail for Liberia, June 9. He joined the American army in 1912 as a private, and after his discharge became a student at the State Normal School at Chenri, Wash.

Jamie C. de Veyra, former resident Philippine commissioner at Washington, recommends an intensive publicity campaign in the United States in favor of Philippine independence. He says the American people are in favor of insular freedom and that the expenditure of $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 a year in publicity will accomplish the desired end. It was reported in Canton recently that northern troops under General Wu Pei Fu were approaching Shiluchow in the north of Kwantung and that General Hsu Sung-Chi, commander of Sun Yet-Sen's forces, had evacuated Swatow in the same province.

Captured documents made public recently by the Free State government show that Eamon de Valera and his chief of staff, Frank Altken, have definitely ordered a cessation of active hostilities by the Republicans, admitting that "the republic can no longer be defended successfully by your arms." There will be no formal surrender of arms, but the order by Altken that they shall be dumped is almost the equivalent, for arms dumps are easily discovered by the Free State patrols. It is believed the Republicans now are likely to concentrate their efforts upon the election campaign. GENERAL Smugglers who bring liquor from Canada across the Detroit river to Ecorse, Mich., ten miles from Detroit, have been carrying on smuggling operations for years, and even generations, according to the Chicago Daily News. Damage estimated at $60,000 was caused a few days ago when Missouri Pacific extra freight hauling live stock, grain and merchandise from Omaha to Kansas City was wrecked at Fort Leavenworth. None of the crew was injured, the engineer and fireman leaping in the Missouri river and swimming to safety when the engine overturned. The wreck was caused by an open switch, railroad men say. Continued exodus of negro workers to the North has resulted in the tightening of state law enforcement covering contract labor in several Southern states.

An additional loan of $1,000,000 is being sought from Henry Ford by the city of Detroit. The Ford interests already have loaned the city $2,000,000 of which $1,500,000 is for general expenses over the interim extending to July 15 when tax collections begin, and $500,000 represents an advance on street railway bonds to finance extensions and improvements. By obtaining its loans from the Ford Motor Company the city will have nearly $1,000 a month in interest payments on each million borrowed, according to William J. Nagel, city controller.

Challenging the right of Congress and the internal revenue commissioner to place restrictions on the practice of medicine, more than fifty Butte physicians have organized the Association for the Protection of Constitutional Rights. The organization will make a test case of the suit recently filed by United States District Attorney John L. Slattery against Dr. J. B. Freund of Butte, charging violation of the law pertaining to liquor prescriptions. Dr. Freund is charged with issuing 102 liquor prescriptions within ninety days, two more than the number allowed by law; with issuing two prescriptions to the same patient in less than ten days, and with writing a prescription on other than a regulation form.

Bolling, the ex-president's secretary. Detailed plans for the development proposed by the Ford Motor Company on the Mississippi river between St. Paul and Minneapolis have been filed with the federal power commission by engineers and attorneys representing Henry Ford, with an application for a permanent license covering the project. Governor William E. Sweet of Colorado and Francis B.

With the purchase of the remaining 3,000,000 ounces, the treasury will have bought a total of slightly more than 200,000,000 ounces since the middle of 1918. According to a report recently compiled by C. H. Kardell, assistant United States agricultural statistician for the Eighth District, no severe damage from frost has been reported from the region including Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming.

CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS Fort Collins. — Common barberry bushes in Weld and Larimer counties are being killed by applications of common rock salt. The barberry sprends 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.

Canby After 58 Years WASHINGTON. — Prediction of a treasury surplus of $00,100,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30 is made by General Lord, director of the budget bureau. When original estimates of receipts and expenditures were made by treasury officials the statement was made that a deficit of as much as $700,000,000 might be faced. This was cut down in later estimates, and in the most recent statements the prospective deficit was put at $100,000,000 to $200,000,000, the hope being expressed, however, that ways and means would be found to wipe it out and balance the budget. In predicting that the threatened deficit would be turned into a surplus, Director Lord sald that this was contingent upon economy in and a continuance of the customs and internal revenue receipts at the present high rate until the end of the fiscal year. He now estimates that the customs receipts for the year will total $540,000,000 and that the internal revenue receipts will reach $2,615,000,000. A comparison of the estimated expenditures for the year 1923 with the THE khaki uniform of the army may have to be changed as a result of experiments now being conducted by the chemical warfare service of the army. When the British eliminated the red coat and adopted the khaki color for their fighting uniform it was assumed that their troops were thus rendered less visible to the enemy. This is still true, if the khaki is viewed with the naked eye, but recent studies of color have resulted in binoculars which render some khaki just as visible as the discarded red coat. In fact, some khaki and even olive drab, experiments have shown, appear bright red when seen through field glasses fitted with suitable ray filters. The reason for this is clear when one realizes the manner in which khaki color is produced and also the effects which may be obtained by looking at colored objects through suitably colored pieces of glass. The dye used to produce the khaki color is a blend of a number of dyes, such as red, orange and green, in which each color is present in the fabric as an individual. The particles of the various colors are, however, so minute and so intimately mixed that A GAVEL in the hands of a judge has been substituted for a tomahawk in the hands of a brave by the great Sloux nation in its fight to recover about $750,000,000 from the federal government as payment with interest for lands and property taken from them by the palefaces years ago. Of the total demanded, more than $500,000,000 represents interest. The suit of the Sloux, said to involve the largest sum ever sought through judicial action, is filed in the United States Court of Claims, counsel announced, and specifies 40 separate counts. The claims date back to the days of the gold rush in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Sitting Bull, General Custer, the Little Big Horn, old Fort Laramie, Wounded Knee, Red Cloud, Spotted Tall, Chief Gaul, the White River Trail and other historic persons and points of interest. The Sloux contend that the United States has left undone many things provided for in the treaties of 1851 and 1868, that millions of acres of their tribal lands were taken from them, their game slaughtered and their poults and tepees seized, and their funds TOUCHED by an unusual endeavor to show gratitude, President Harding directed the War department to ascertain the burial place of Gen. Edward R. S. Canby, an officer in the Union army during the Civil war. The President acted upon receipt of a letter from Charles Hall, an aged attorney of Bay Minette, Ala., who wrote that he wanted to place a wreath on the grave of General Canby. "General Canby was in command of the Federal army at Fort Blakely, in Baldwin county, Alabama," the Alabaman wrote the President. "The Confederate soldiers at Fort Blakely surrendered to him on April 9, 1865. On the morning of April 15, 1865, General Canby was in Fort Blakely and on that day my father and I went to Blakely to see General Canby to ask him for something to eat, as everything my father owned at that time was destroyed by the Federal soldiers. We went into Blakely in a one-horse wagon and General Canby had the wagon filled with the best kind of food. "I am now in my sixty-ninth year and I want to place a wreath on his grave before I pass away. General Canby gave us food when we were hungry." Presumably Mr. Hall got his question answered promptly. Anyway, Gen. Edward Richard Sprigg Canby's grave expenditures for 1922, Director Lord said, indicated a reduction in 1923 of more than $200,000,000. Customs receipts and internal revenue receipts since January 1 have been considerably above the estimates which had been made by the Treasury department. Customs payments have established new records and the income and profits taxes for the first quarter were more than $50,000,000 over the estimates. In view of this the administration is preparing to recommend moderate tax reductions to the next congress, it was stated. The recommendation will include revision of the income tax rates in the "middle brackets" on incomes above $5,000 a year and below $50,000. The normal rate, affecting incomes below $5,000, probably will not be reduced. Some means will be sought of shaving the taxes now imposed on business. Just how this will be worked out has not been decided, as administration leaders say it will have to be handled carefully because of the drive that will be made for re-enactment of the excess profits tax. the eye is not able to detect the individual colors. If, however, the light reflected to the eye from some of the colored particles can be eliminated the khaki appears to have changed in color. This effect can be produced by ray filters, pieces of colored glass which absorb certain colors and transmit others. Thus if a khaki color produced by a blend of red, orange and green is viewed through a methyl violet ray filter it will appear red. From this it is evident that in the selection of a protective color for army uniforms it is just as important to consider the color of each of the various dyes used as it is to consider the protective value of the resulting blend, since a small percentage of a brilliant dye in the blend may render an otherwise protective color readily visible when viewed through a suitable ray filter. The Germans have been working on this problem also and have reached what appears to be at least a partial solution in the use of a cloth woven with different colored threads. The blend thus produced apparently is not readily broken down by the use of ray filters. spent improperly by the government. They demand $150,000,000 and interest for the Black Hills and surrounding territory, charging that the United States, aware of that area's wealth in gold, connived in its seizure by armed force in 1874 and 1875. The suit will specify a price of $100 an acre for the gold-bearing land, on which one mine has produced hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of the mineral. The price of $50 an acre will be asked for the timbered area now included in the Black Hills forest reserve. An accounting by the United States under all the treaties with the Sloux and the acts of congress affecting their property will also be demanded, it being charged that the government has defaulted in its written promises and failed to perform its solemn obligations. About twenty-five thousand individual claimants are interested in the suit, according to counsel for the Indians, and it is intended through the action "to settle all the long-standing disputes between the Sloux and the United States." The attorneys estimated it would take from five to ten years to try the case in the Court of Claims and in the Supreme court. is in Crown Hill cemetery, Indianapolis. He was the son of I. T. Canby, who was a candidate for governor of Indiana in 1828. He was born in Kentucky in 1819 and spent his boyhood in Indiana. He was graduated from West Point in 1839 and served in the Seminole war (1839-42). His work in the Mexican war (1846-7) made him lieutenant colonel. He next served on the Utah expedition (1857-60) and the campaign against the Navajo Indians (1860-61). In the Civil war he was in command of the department of New Mexico (1861-2); of New York during the draft riots of 1863; of the department west of the Mississippi (1864-5). He then entered the regular army as brigadier. He served as military governor of South Carolina (1868) and afterward commauced the Division of the Pacific. General Canby met his death April 11, 1873, near Siskyo, Cal., at the hands of the Modocs of the Lava Beds. After much fighting a peace commission met Captain Jack and his chiefs. Jack demanded to be allowed to remain on Lost River. Canby refused. Jack shot Canby dead and his warriors killed Rev. Mr. Thomas and wounded Indian Superintendent Meacham. The Modocs, starved out, surrendered two months later. There are now 250 Modocs in Oregon and 50 in Oklahoma. PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Twenty-third Avenue and Washington Street Rev. C. H.

GRADUATION NO TIME in the life of a boy or girl is quite so crowded with thrills and pleasures as the final days of high school or college, when the diploma for which each has earnestly struggled will be handed down as an award of merit. The season of graduation suggests an atmosphere all its own. Coming in the month of June the occasion means a larger outlook on life in more ways than one for many of those finishing school. The Class Day and Commencement exercises are indeed memorable, marking an epoch in the lives of young men and women that in after years will be marked as the starting place of a successful career or dismal failure. In most cases, the youth that persevers through school duties to the point of graduation, does so with some definite aim in life. From no other incentive will one pore over books and delve into sciences, or ponder through philosophy, or seek the unraveling of languages. Happiness being the final goal sought by all rational human beings, it necessarily follows that one will strive to attain it through the avenues of some chosen profession. We are particularly interested in the possibilities of those of our own group who will graduate from Denver and Colorado schools this year. We wish a brighter outlook was theirs. And yet what may appear now as a seeming barrier may in the end prove a blessing as a spur to endeavor. There is lots of room in the world for brains; there is still a loud call for ability and the complexity of world problems day by day is certain to make the call more imperative. Colorado and the West must fit sons and daughters for the immense responsibilities that are crowding in upon civilization as it is now known. The trained mind is first to be called upon in either peace or war. The skilled hand becomes an effectual function of government at all times. We sometimes fear that fond parents, even as they journey through school buildings and fraternity houses, visiting with sons and daughters, do not fully sense the responsibilities that weigh upon those finishing school. For to "finish school" means but the beginning of contact with the world. "Hitch your wagon to a star" is an admirable injunction to be placed upon the youthful graduate for high hopes are an essential element in the climb upward. Let us therefore give every encouragement to our aspiring boys and girls; let us bid them God speed and perchance lend a helping hand, and above all let us give due credit to sacrificing father and mother who carry in their hearts lofty hopes and worthy ambitions. INCREASING OUR RESPONSIBILITIES THE unabated exodus of Negro laborers from southern states still continues to be a matter of deep concern to southern planters and industries, that depend upon Negroes mainly to keep the wheels humming. Likewise the exodus seems provocative of a great deal of discussion in certain northern sections, though the question is handled in this instance more from a philanthropic viewpoint than from an economic one. The question is indeed pertinent to black as well as white citizens. Many great journals have entered into the discussion and all admit that the question is a delicate one. One of the fairest and most squarely put editorials that has come to our notice was found in a recent issue of the Kansas City Star. After discussing the matter from many sane angles it sums up the situation thusly. A condition and not an eventuality, however, now is faced. Large numbers of Negroes live outside the South, and it may be expected that in some degree the migration will continue. There is nothing to be regretted on this account. If the Negro can better his fortune by moving, can find improved living and working conditions and a demand for what he can produce, he ought to be both allowed and encouraged to move. But an indiscriminate and hasty effort to bring large numbers of Negroes into new territory to satisfy a temporary demand for common labor is not going to help either the Negroes or the territory in the end, any more than such an effort with regard to aliens would be beneficial to America. The communities to which Negroes come therefore have duties equal to those of southern districts. They may discourage any effort to exploit Negro labor and ask that Negroes who desire to come to them be left to determine, without the interference of agents, the desirability of the move. Above all, these communities that are either realizing and soon will have to realize that they have a race problem of their own must seek to deal with the condition not simply as an economic, but as a humanitarian, question. This is the view of a strong northern daily and none can question the cogency of its reasonings. An equally strong southern paper, the "Memphis Commercial Appeal" shows its concern as follows: "There are no dives any more in Memphis where white people exploit Negroes, where they ruin their body and their souls. There are hundreds of such places in the North. "A decent God-fearing Negro in the South will find a better chance for his children here than he will in the North. "Where in any other place in the United States does the Negro get a better break than he does in Memphis? Where is there a better chance for him anywhere else than there is in this Memphis territory? "Here and there Negroes have been robbed and they have been exploited. This business is stopping. It does not pay in the long run. The next place, the Negro is becoming more intelligent, but, more than all, a majority of the white people in any community frown on such a procedure. "The Commercial Appeal during its long history has never attempted to deceive Negroes. It does not take much stock in the old sentiment about the old mammies and old uncles. It has never condoned a lynching and never will; the lynching of a white man and the lynching of a Negro are violations of the law, and when any group of men start out to do something that is unlawful they do a harm to the republic which, if persisted in, will destroy it. The Commercial Appeal believes that a Negro under the law should have his rights, he should have the property that he earns. Down here we believe that he is coming into these things." That is meeting the question in a straight-forward manner and the Southern editor is to be commended for his strong summary of a vexing problem. To our mind the appealing element in the above editorial is found in the fact that "no dives" infest Memphis. It may be said that Denver is also reasonably free of questionable resorts and of the gay, demoralizing cabaret life. Reduced then to its final analysis the exodus question becomes one of greater seriousness than exists from either an economic or philanthropic standpoint. It becomes a moral issue and must be met and handled as such. WORLD COURT IS CERTAIN ISSUE HARDING'S INTENTION TO URGE AMERICAN MEMBERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABANDONED. PARTY LEADERS WON'T OBJECT Republican Managers Say the Evidences of the Country's Prosperity Will More Than Offset Any Troubles From Other Matters. Bv EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.-Members of the Washington corps of newspaper correspondents were given an authoritative statement recently at the White House concerning the matter of the President's position on the world court as it probably would be outlined to the people. Nearly every correspondent who received the information interpreted it to mean that the President was weakening in his advocacy of the proposal and that he might not plead or argue in its behalf when making his speeches to the people in the summer. There were a few of the correspondents who thought that the pronouncement from the White House was misunderstood. The writer of this was one of the men receiving the information who thought that it had been misinterpreted, and that the President still intended to stand staunchly by his court proposal when he appeared before the people to give, so to speak, an account of his stewardship. Since the day when the majority of the editors of the country, based on the interpretation of the news, gave evidence of a general impression that the President had weakened somewhat on his court proposal, there have been evidences that no suggestion of a weakening intention was intended in the White House pronouncement on the matter. It also has become evident that the administration has felt somewhat nettled because of the interpretation that was put upon the words contained in the White House statement. Twice since the day when the information which became controversial was given to the correspondents there have been two unequivocal reassertions of the administration's position as taken when the world court proposal first was submitted to the senate last winter. Politicians Change Their View. Politicians Change Their View. Now it seems the politicians realize at last that the world court plan is to be made a part of the Republican campaign program, and that nothing of opposition within the party or outside of it can turn intention aside. There seems recently to have been a rejuvenation of the spirits of the Republican party managers. The seeming reawakening of confidence is put down by observers to the reports which have come in tending to show that the country is prosperous. So it seems that the party men, committeemen, and others who are to direct the fortunes of the Republican party seem to feel that prosperity is going to carry them through and that internal trouble over the world court matter cannot stem the tide of success. Therefore it is said here that the Republican managers believe implicitly that the President can go as far as he wants to in the advocacy of the world court without injuring the party's prospects so long as nothing happens to interfere with the continued progress of prosperity. The League of Nations and the international court proposal unquestionably will be issues, and big issues, in the presidential campaign, but the Republicans are banking on good business conditions and a full measure of employment to overweigh all troubles which may come from other matters.

This is one of the largest individual claims ever presented against the government, and to be given consideration by Uncle Sam's court which passes upon such matters. Generally speaking, probably the public is not aware upon just what grounds the Sloux claim this enormous sum. All of the details in the case will be given to the public when the case comes to trial, but it is almost certain that the Indians will depend upon a claim of an invasion and occupation of their lands "without treaty" by the white settlers and mineral hunters fifty-odd years ago. There is a story still remembered in army circles in Washington of the invasion of the Sloux Indians, which has caused the present lawsuit. The story brings up a picture of Red Cloud, the great Sloux chieftain, whose name is suggestive of the warrior and which had in the old days a red significance. In the times that are gone Red Cloud, with his warriors, swept the settlements and gave battle to the soldiers, not always giving heed to the odds that might be against him. Sloux Gave Whites Warning. Almost immediately after the Civil war Red Cloud, the Sloux, met in battle the field-tired heroes of that conflict and they found in him a foe worthy of their courage and skill. Mineral wealth had been discovered in Montana. The rush of prospectors and settlers made it necessary for the government to begin the erection of military posts along the trail leading over the prairies to the mines. On the trail to the Powder river was built Fort Phil Kearney. While the troops which were ordered to the new post were on the march overland a scout came riding into the column as if he had death at his heels. Colonel Fetterman was in command, and after a hurried talk with the scout the two rode forward, leaving the column at a halt. Officer and scout skirted a patch of timber and came to the banks of a small prairie stream from which the view was unbroken for miles. To the front at a distance of about 400 yards they saw a solitary Sloux warrior standing on a little hillock with his spear thrust into the ground at his side, while from the end of the weapon's handle fluttered a bit of colored cloth. That Sloux warrior solitary on the plain with the bit of colored cloth attached to the handle of his spear supplies one of the chief bases for the suit of $700,000,000. It needed but little frontier knowledge on the part of Colonel Fetterman and the scout to make the interpretation of that signal easy. It was the Sloux sign of warning that there must be no trespassing on the lands over which they held dominion and for which no negotiations for ceding had been begun. Red Cloud, the chief, had ordered the warrior to display what was at once a notice and a menace, and later he took a terrible vengeance because his warning had been spurned. Red Cloud's Vengeance. Colonel Fetterman rode back to his command knowing well what the signal of the planted spear and the furttering pennant meant, but he was under orders from the War department and, soldier-like, he was determined to disregard the Sloux signal. He pushed on hard with his men. The Indian sentinel had vanished, but he had left his spear with its pennant to stand as a forbidding sign. Not another Sloux was seen on the march to the new post, but the scouts knew that Red Cloud was not far off and was biding his time. Not long after the occupation of the fort a detail of soldiers was sent out to cut and to bring in needed timber. The detail found itself surrounded by Sloux Indians. A courier broke through the encircling line and reached the post. Colonel Fetterman rode out with a part of his detachment to the rescue of his timber-cutting party, but he was compelled to leave a greater part of his force at the fort to protect the women and children. Fetterman and his small command reached the wood-cutting party. The Sloux swarmed to the attack and not one officer or man of that soldier outfit escaped death. Twenty years intervened between the successful flight of the first heavier-than-air machine known as "Langley's Folly" and that of the T-2, which made the non-stop journey from coast to coast in about twenty-seven hours. In the Smithsonian institution in Washington in an honored place Langley's Folly is shown to visitors. Not far from it is a memorial to the undiscouraged inventor who in the face of ridicule and something approaching contumely persevered until he proved that a heavier-than-air machine, motor driven, could be made to fly under direction and to carry weight. It has been suggested in Washington that, if the T-2 is found to represent the "beyond which nothing" in airplanes, it be placed side by side with Langley's Folly to accentuate and to prove that the people may scoff, but that a courageous man with an idea still can point the way to highest achievement. It is thought here that the performance of the T-2 proves many things of service to a nation in peace and war. The punitive possibilities of a machine which can travel nearly 3,000 miles without a stop are said to be almost incalculable. So far as peace service is concerned, the trip of the T-2 opens up a field of possibilities so extensive that man as yet cannot visualize nor readily understand all that may be done. Air Travel Held to Be Really Safe. Already in Washington the "trunk lines" of airplanes are seen for the carriage of passengers and freight, in limited numbers and quantities it is true, across the great distances of the country from city to city. Naturally enough there still is the element of the fear of most people to embark upon air voyages. The civilian population apparently yet has to be educated to overcome the dread of air travel. Arny and navy men of all countries overcame it long ago, notwithstanding the fact that years from the time of Langley's Folly to the present day contain a voluminous record of death and disaster. However, aviators today maintain that air travel is safe and that it will take only a few years of education and experience to overcome the general timidity which prevails. There have been many martyrs to the development of the air service. It should be said of all of them, however, they embarked voluntarily on the voyages which ended in disaster. There seems to be a sort of spirit in the aviation service in times of peace which exists in no other service except in times of war when men are willing to do and dare everything in behalf of their country. Of course there is not the same opportunity in other services in peace times to risk life that there is in the service of the air. If there were these opportunities it is probable that American manhood would meet them in whatever field they were to present themselves. Achievement Lies as Much in a Sound Organization as in Mere Profit By S. A. LEWISOHN, American Management Association. WHILE success in industrial operations has largely been measured by profits, we know that the really effective business executive has a passion for other things besides profits. It is the adventure of business activity that calls him. The more far-seeing executives realize that achievement lies just as much in a sound and healthy organization as it does in mere profit. But, as a matter of fact, good morale in an organization and profits go hand in hand. There are three outstanding reasons why it is imperative that these problems of human organization within our industries should be solved: First, productivity depends not only on good engineering, good mechanical devices and good financing, but also on effective personnel administration. A machine can be bought, but we must get co-operation from employees. Second, there is the matter of creating sound human values. If in our factories the handling of human problems is ignored, we cannot have sound human values in the community generally. Third, the best melting pot for our social classes is in manufacturing establishments. It is not only a matter of creating a proper understanding between the manual laborers and the moneyed classes, but also of a proper understanding between manual laborers and the intellectual and professional classes. It is most important that the rank and file appreciate the value of brains in our social structure. Unless executives sell themselves to the rank and file in the plant and factory, I do not know how this appreciation can take place. Americans should be interested in the country's productive system as a whole. The difficulty has been that the great majority of line executives have woefully neglected these matters of human organization. Attention to them has not been fashionable. And not only our production, but also the social health of the country suffers as a consequence, for bad factory organization is a well-defined cause of much of our social and industrial friction. What we need is what Theodore Roosevelt called "a substantial alignment"—a substantial alignment in enlightened management. Once we have approximately 100 per cent of our executives interested in the human organization of their factories we will have gone a long way toward eradicating industrial unrest. In One Important Respect Our Democracy Differs From Any in the Past By DR. IRA N. HOLLIS, American Engineer. It is true that this republic may disappear in course of time. In fact, it may be totally destroyed by the license growing out of liberty. But that does not prove any fatal defect about democracy. It will grow into greater and greater perfection as the centuries pass, for autocracy has long been a demonstrated failure. All history shows that, and, in the collapse of the central powers of Europe, and of Russia, we ought to have seen the end of autocratic government. In one important respect our democracy differs entirely from anything in the past, and that is in the rapidity of communication. We have the railroads, telegraph, telephone, wireless, newspapers, motor trucks and common roads, and, in fact, everything to facilitate trade, travel and education. That is a new thing produced by the inventions of the Nineteenth century. A voter in any part of the country can be informed by the morning paper about the discussions in congress and about what is happening the world over; hence, we have acquired, through methods of rapid communication, a quick reaction to every issue and a vastly greater safeguard against false decisions. It has been said over and over again that if we give the American people time, they will surely decide any national question in the right way. To Declare That Maternity Is an Occupation and to Protect It as Such By MISS ADELAIDE STEDMAN, National Woman's Party. Those who think that special welfare legislation is better for the woman worker point out that women possess certain physiological qualities and functions that call for special protection. To this we answer that the proper method is to protect certain occupations in which women also are employed instead of protecting the sex as a whole. There are special regulations to protect men in hazardous industries—miners, for instance. Now, no one would want to extend these provisions to all men just because some men are miners. It would be rediculous. But why limit the industrial opportunities of women just because some women are mothers? The solution of the problem is to declare maternity an occupation and to protect it as such. No one has advocated a bonus for all men just because some men risk their lives in the defense of the country. The bonus has been offered to soldiers. No one would dream of advocating a bonus to all women just because some women risk their lives for the Nation's weal in maternity. In the same way there can be pensions for maternity. I say this to illuminate the thesis that occupation, and not sex, should be the basis of legislative protection. "Why Don't the American Artists Say, 'What the H—l Do We Care'?" By LEON BAKST, in New York World. Why don't the American artists say, adapting the line of the beautiful American folk song, "What the h—l do we care?" Why don't they just go ahead and do things as it is their unique privilege to do them? Sometimes they remind me of a child that gets hold of a paintbox and begins to lay on wonderful strong reds, greens and yellows, colors that are the heart's delight, and then comes a cultured and squeamish governess who says, "No, dearie, that red is too red—and who ever has seen grass as green as that?" The point is that the child is artistically right and the sophisticated older person, who dares not see with her own eyes, does not see at all. My advice to American artists, if I may volunteer to give it, is: Don't study so intensely what we of the old world are doing; don't go abroad so much; stay at home, strike roots in the soil, immerse yourselves in the color, light, youth of your wonderful country; study indigenous American art, indigenous American beauty, be yourselves, and you will not fail to produce a great American art. THE COLORADO STATESMAN Mrs. Wimlock, mother of the Banks boys has returned from visiting her sister in Los Angeles. Mrs. L. J. Brown of 2452 Glenarm place fell recently and dislocated her wrist. She has the sympathy of her many friends. MR. AND MRS. JAMES WELDON JOHNSON TO VISIT DENVER Illustrious Scholar, Poet and Race Leader to Speak Here Aug. 17 THE Denver Branch of the N. A. --- Geo. E. Gross, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Gross, was assigned a position in the Denver postoffice as carrier on June 1. We wish him success. JERRY CHISOLM, well-known Denver resident, is here for two weeks, after spending several weeks in Golden, Colo. He will leave to take up a position for the summer at Big Horn Inn, Colo. Mrs. S. H. Hobson arrived in the city last Tuesday from Los Angeles, Calif., for an indefinite stay and is the guest of her cousin, Mrs. Joe Greer of 1226 Twenty-eighth avenue. She brings greetings from the Denverites in the Angel City to their friends here. MISS MABEL COLE, our leading contralto singer, left yesterday to fill engagements for a series of Recitals in Wichita and other points in Kansas. She begins at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church under the management of Rev. R. L. Pope, former presiding elder in Denver. We wish her every success on her tour. Mrs. Josephine Cassells and Mrs. Julia Hubbard, ever alert to valuable business possibilities, have built a fine garage of large dimensions on their home place, 1936 Ogden, which they have rented to advantage. Mesdames Hubbard and Cassells are pioneer citizens of Denver and prominent in all progressive affairs of the race. Ralph A. Johnson, Jr., well known in Y. M. C. A. and musical circles, returned to this city after nine months' absence attending the Agricultural Institute at Topeka, Kan. He appears very much improved in health and offers a splendid example of what perseverance in our youth can accomplish. Mr. Johnson's relatives and friends were delighted to greet him again. The Negro Women's Club Home has been reapinted, redecorated throughout during the past three weeks. For the first time in many months we have three vacant beds now at the disposal of young women who desire pleasant, home-like stopping places or homes. Visitors are always welcome The public is also invited to attend the various sessions of the State Federation which convenes here on the 12th of June at Zion Church. PRESIDENT HARDING TO BE DENVER GUEST DENVER is to be host to President Warren G. Harding for a few hours on June 25, and plans are already under way to crowd every minute of the President's stay full of interesting events. It will be Mr. Harding's first visit to Denver since his occupancy of the White House and it is certain that he will be accorded a royal welcome. It is to be hoped that those having charge of the presidential visit to Denver will not fail to give appropriate representation to our group that did so much to make possible the splendid Republican victory of 1920 and thus aided in Mr. Harding's election. DECORATION DAY FITTINGLY OBSERVED All Denver Turns Out to Honor Nation's Heroes. Beneath clear skies and with ideal Colorado weather predominating, Decoration Day services were appropriately observed and due honor paid the memories of the heroes of the three wars that mark America's history. A monster parade, in which all races took part, opened the day, and fitting memorial services were held in many of the parks. Grizzled but feeble veterans of the Civil war, Spanish war veterans and heroes of the late World war joined in common comradeship to make the day memorable. At Rocky Mountain lake one of the largest crowds that ever attended the annual Y. M. C. A. events witnessed a program of unusually interesting sports. Picnic groups, fishing parties and mountain trips offered a day of recreation for all Denver citizens. In the parade many of our own soldier boys appeared to advantage and caused a feeling of pride to arise in our hearts. MR. AND MRS. JAMES WELDON JOHNSON TO VISIT DENVER Illustrious Scholar, Poet and Race Leader to Speak Here Aug.17 THE Denver Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. received definite word on Saturday last, to the effect that JAMES WELDON JOHNSON, nationally known as the "Fighting Secretary" of the N. A. A. C. P. would be in Denver August 17 and would spend eight or ten days recuperating in Colorado's delightful climate. Mrs. Johnson, herself a woman of distinct talents and ability will accompany her distinguished husband on the trip. This is a welcome bit of news and Denver should begin now its preparations to give JAMES WELDON JOHNSON the most generous greeting and reception ever accorded a leader of our group in the history of Denver. He deserves it and more. He is today the one big outstanding character in all that the Negro hopes for and is striving to attain. He has sacrificed, not only time and money, but his health and strength for a cause he believed to be just. He has spent sleepless nights and tireless days in our behalf. For a brief period in August this great man is to be our guest. What then of our part? The West has a hospitality peculiarly its own, and Denver especially so. Let that hospitality be on display every minute of the time that Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are within the borders of our state. We want the Denver hearts and Denver homes opened as never before. Naturally Mr. Johnson will be under the auspices and direct management of the Denver Branch. But he belongs to all of us and The COLORADO STATESMAN will urge that every Denver organization or society do its part to make the occasion what it should be. ELKS' ANNUAL MEMORIAL SERVICE MAKES GREAT IMPRESSION ON PUBLIC. MOUNTAIN Lodge No. 39 of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World made a great impression on the people of Denver as to the usefulness and benefits of fraternal organizations in our community, when at their annual memorial and thanksgiving service at St. Stephen's Baptist church last Sunday they gave a demonstration of the principle and purpose of this liberal and charitable institution. Led by the Elks' band, upwards of 100 members of the male lodge, with the assistance of the sister lodge, Mountain Temple No. 173, who joined the parade in automobiles, formed in procession and marched along a route traversing the most important residential sections of East Denver, and in the expression of a very critical observer, "they presented an appearance and offered a decorum that has never been witnessed here for a long time." At the Church of St. Stephen, Thirty-second avenue and Lafayette street, the Rev. Floyd T. Smith, pastor of the church, delivered an address which encouraged the members to continue their good work for the cause of humanity, and elaborated on the influential and uplifting tendencies of the Order of Elks in any community. Eulogies by Hewetson Watson, substituting for Attorney S. E. Cary, who was out of town, and D. L. Miller, exalted ruler, in which reference was made to the deceased member, WILLIAM F. ANDERSON, and the usual honor paid to the departed, appropriate songs by the church choir and the Elks' quartet, beside the regular ritualistic contribution, with a vocal solo by Mrs. Mary Tumlin and a paper on "Our Brother Elks," by Mrs. Bessie Mason, comprised a program that will not easily be forgotten. Willis S. Evans, as chaplain, Curtis M. Harris leading the band and Edward Kelly, esquire, as marshal of the day, with the assistance of all the other brothers and sisters, made this Memorial Day one of impressiveness. SHORTER CHAPEL NOTES Sunday morning at the 11 o'clock service the minister will preach. Subject, "The Battle with Temptation." Followed by the Holy Communion. The evening service will begin during the summer months at 8 p. m. Dr. G. H. Uggams, the new pastor of the People's Presbyterian will preach Sunday evening.

Colored Women's Federated Clubs Colored Women's Federated Clubs Cheyenne, Wyo., April 30, 1923. To all whom it may concern: Greeting. The 20th annual session of The Colored Women's Federated Clubs of Colorado and jurisdiction will convene in Denver, Colo., June 12th to 15th, 1923, for the transaction of such business as may come before it. The following recommendations presented to the Executive Board, April 5, 1923, are appended to the call for your consideration. OLLIE H. REDD. No. I. That the educational fund be placed in the bank, as a separate fund account to the credit of the educational board of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of Colorado and Jurisdiction. No. II. Because of the fact the State Federation has adopted the Budget System of operation, and also because of the fact that in the rush and hurry of the last session, when the reports are placed in the hands of the Auditor, she is unable to make a thorough examination of all credits or debits of each department, whereby a definite knowledge of any surplus or deficit of any department might be obtained, we therefore recommend that all financial records of the secretary and treasurer be placed with the auditor, at her request, to be examined before the convening of the federation for the succeeding year. Said report to be first called for at the opening of the convention. No. III. That a form of questionnaire be drawn, for reports of clubs, and a committee be appointed to present a plan. Committee, Mrs. Redd, Cheyenne, Wyo.; Mrs. Glenn, Denver, Colo.; Mrs. Vest, Colorado Springs, Colo. Mrs. North, Pueblo, Colo. No. IV. The recording secretary shall keep the minutes of the Federation, receive all moneys, keep an accurate account of the same, she shall pay the same to the treasurer, taking her receipt therefore, write all orders for checks voted out by the federation, and receive receipts from the treasurer for all monies turned over to that office. Y. M. C. A. NOTES With this week the second installment of our subscriptions to the new Y. M. C. A. fund comes to a close. A much higher percentage of the installment was paid in during the month of April. Already 30 per cent more has been paid in than the total for which we first went out. The report of the finance committee prepared for the committee of management, which will be presented at the meeting next week, shows that nothing of the kind has been done in any community heretofore. We are hoping that even a higher percentage shall be maintained during the month of June. We wish to keep constantly before the minds of our subscribers the fact that August will soon be here—the time planned by the board of directors for the beginning of the work towards the new building. As the plans of the board have been enlarged on account of the doubling of the subscriptions by the people, it becomes necessary that the contributions should be paid in full in order that the committee of management might not be embarrassed at the moment when the time for work on the new building comes. All delinquent subscriptions therefore should be promptly paid in and the installment for June must not be allowed to lag. The mistakes that occurred during the drive and which caused a good deal of confusion when the collection of the pledges began to be made have been pretty well cleared up by the efforts of our branch and the Central Association. Should anyone, however, be aware of any mistake still existing in his account we shall be very glad to be informed of such. Now, let everyone see how quickly he can get his name on the honor roll. Honor roll: Mrs. Beatrice Jackson, Dennis Moore, J. H. Moseley and Taka Art Club. THE PEOPLE'S MORTUARY FUNERAL NOTICES McKenzie—Mrs. Emmie S., the beloved wife of Mr. I. C.

D., pastor of Central Baptist church, will be present with his congregation and will deliver the message at 3:30 p. m. A special feast is in store for all who may attend. Dr. Allen is a splendid speaker, and those who miss hearing him will certainly miss a treat. There will be a special service at the S o'clock hour. A cordial invitation is extended everybody. A hearty welcome is awaiting all who may attend. BOULDER, COLORADO NEWS The Allen Chapel is beginning to look different. The arch is up now. They have to tile, paper and paint before it is finished. The money from the rally is being put to good use. There was Bible Reading at 11:30 Sunday at the Baptist Church. Those that attended enjoyed it very much. Mrs. D. Harne of 20th and Bluff has returned from Kansas where she had been on a visit to her mother. She stopped off at Wakeeney to visit friends there, also at Hill City. Her mother resides at Nicodemus, Kansas. She reports a very enjoyable trip. Rev. Mrs. Carey, an evangelist from Chicago visited Boulder, Sunday May 27th. She gave an address to the Sunday School at Allen Chapel in the morning and filled the pulpit at night her subject being "Power." She spoke to a very attentive and appreciative audience. We need more real Bible doctrine taught. Teaching the people to live she surely told them how to get right and how to keep right. Truly it is "the little foxes that spoil the vines." We have to watch the little, no-harm things, so called, if we expect to please God. Mrs. Sadie Tompson who has been so ill and was taken to the hospital with typhoid fever is home again and is improving, we are glad to say. Mrs. D. Wharton, who has been so sick is improving. Mrs. E. G. Chryster is on the mend, her nerves are much improved. Mrs. Chryster has been seriously ill but is thanking the Lord for raising her up again.

Realization of the great age of the earth and the long periods involved in the birth of mountain ranges and the disappearance of continents often obscures the fact that changes are taking place rapidly enough actually to be watched and measured. In places the clock of geologic time runs so fast, in fact, that we may, as it were, see the minute hand moving upon the dial. One of the most conspicuous places by which to illustrate this remarkable condition is the coast-line of the southeastern United States from the Virginia capes to the Rio Grande. Here, as along every other coast-line on the face of the earth there is perpetual warfare between the land and the sea, with the wind as a shifting ally, now throwing its weight into the balance on the one side and now on the other. Here the land is taking the offensive, driving the sea back foot by foot, always with the aid of the wind; there the sea assumes the offensive and eats its way landward slowly and laboriously, but none the less successfully. The varying fortunes of this relentless and age-long war, which neither truce nor treaty will ever bring to an end, can be read in the shifting sands of the seashore. At many points along the coast of the northeastern states are found bold cliffs, and the charging sea attacks them with the shot and shell of loose shingle. Some of them, however, are adamant and impregnable in their frontal fortifications and hold out against the sorest siege, but between them have occurred stretches of softer rock which have been literally pounded to dust by the ocean's heavy artillery, thus permitting flank attacks on the hitherto unconquered defenses. Along the southeastern const, however, the rock-hound cliff is the exception and the long stretches of glittering sand the rule. Here the sandy beach reaches out farther and farther into the sea, and the water is thus enabled to penetrate farther and farther into the land, because the attack of the sea is usually a frontal movement and that of the land frequently a wedge attack; thus we can account for the long, straight shore on the one hand and the spit on the other. Cape Henry's Sand Dune. Cape Henry, Virginhla, where the great Chesapeake bay empties into the Atlantic, is one of the most interesting points along the South Atlantic const. It affords an excellent opportunity to study the battle royal between the sea, the winds and the sands, and it is remarkable also for the weird beauty of its storm-buffeted beach, extending in broken masses of sand as far as the eye can reach, picked out here and there along the land edge by gnarled and stunted trees, beach grass and hardy shrubs, which make a brave fight against the ever-encroaching enemy. At Cape Henry in 1791 was erected the first lighthouse built by the young United States government. After many years of faithful service the ancient beacon gave way to a more presentible structure, which was erected in 1881, but the old lighthouse still stands on its great hill of sand and rock like a sentinel of a forgotten army ready to spring to arms when called. Stretching inland behind the original lighthouse is a great dune, or rather a mountain of sand, which has been the savings bank of the winds for untold centuries. The dune is more than 100 feet high in many places, and the great plateau on its crest, stretching back into the country for several miles, covers an area of many acres. Slowly but surely the great mass of sand crystals is making its way toward the Interior, being pushed back inch by inch by the restless wind, and it is mercilessly engulfing a great pine forest. It is even rapidly filling up the Lynnhaven river, a small fresh-water stream famous for its oysters. Rockaway Beach, Long Island, grows westward at the rate of nearly a mile every twenty years. At Nug Head. North Carolina, the land has extended into the sea at the rate of 35 feet a year. In 1804 Dr. Nathaniel Bowlditch prepared a chart of Saiem and Marblehead harbors, giving the soundings over various ledges of rock. Ninety years later similar soundings were taken, and in all cases the water was found to be considerably deeper, once again telling the tale of endless warring. Retreat of the Shore Line. On the shore of Cape Cod, near Chatham, the land is retreating at the rate of a foot a year, and on the southern shore of Martha's Vineyard it is giving up the fight to the enemy at the rate of three feet every twelve months, while on the southern face of Nantucket the retreat has been as much as six feet a year, the records tell us. From Portland, Me., to Cape Florida there is a fairly well-connected barrier of sand-reefs, all of them built up by the sea and its ally, the wind, from the material pounded from the shoreline by the waves. From Chesapeake bay to Biscayne bay, Florida, a distance of 700 miles, there is a natural rampart of sand so continuous, fencing such an unbroken series of lagoons in from the sea, that it is possible to make the entire journey through inland waters without exposure to the open sea. In its incessant warfare against the land, the sea literally takes its captured hosts and makes them do battle under its command. The boulders that are shattered from the face of a cliff are dashed up against it again and again, hammering others loose, the while being worn round and smooth as the projectiles of big guns must be. As the process goes on, these huge shells are worn down and crumbled until there remains nothing to tell the story of forced fighting against their own stronghold save grains of sand on some distant beach or the soft carpet spread upon the floor of the sea many fathoms deep. The waves always find a most valuable ally in the wind while their work of const-line transformation goes on. The possibilities of the wind as a worker in conjunction with the waves are revealed when we consider that during a violent storm the air may hold in suspension as much as 126,000 tons of sand to the cubic mile. This sand, driven bither and thither, finds a resting place somewhere, and that resting place is usually a dune along the shore. How Sand Dunes Are Made. A sand dune always has a humble beginning. A piece of wreckage cast up by the waves may start it, or any sort of obstacle lying upon the shore may cause it to come into being. Once started, the dune becomes a trap to catch sand in. It takes its toll of every passing gust of wind, and thus continues to grow and grow. Often they keep advancing until they bury orchards, forests, and even buildings, like great drifts of snow. Along the coast of New Jersey one may see orchards which have been covered by wind-blown sand within the memory of man so that only the tops of the trees now protrude above the surface. It is not exceptional to see a forest invaded and sometimes even completely buried. To watch the struggles of the trees against their encraching enemy is one of the most remarkable sights of nature. As the sand rises around their trunks new roots are put out near the surface, and they continue to fight their battle month in and month out, but generally they are finally completely engulfed. The alternating burial and resurrection of forests is due mainly to the tendency of sand dunes to migrate. On Hatteras Island, North Carolina, the migration of a dune literally robbed a cemetery of its dead, dashing down the gravestones and exposing the bones of the bodies buried there, says Professor Cobb, an authority on the subject of beach formations. On the northern end of Hatteras island a fishing village has been completely buried, while the sand has entirely crossed the island at several places north of Cape Hatteras. This movement of sand was started just after the Civil war by the cutting of trees for ship timbers, and, although the section is known today as the Great Woods, there is not a stick of timber to be seen. Puff and Push. It may be true that a man with a pull gets the easiest jobs. But the man who has the push gets one that pays more money.—New Orleans States. CUTS FOOD SUPPLY Diminishing Flood of the Nile a Serious Problem. Engineering Commission Proposed to Visit African Lakes With a View to Meeting Situation. We learn from the Cairo correspondent of the London Times that the Egyptians are a good deal concerned over the diminishing floods of the Nile. In spite of the great dam at Assuan, which now covers with water the beautiful ruined temples at Phlae, the summer supply of water for irrigation is almost always insufficient. The rice crops in lower Egypt have failed for several years in succession. Accordingly a commission of engineers is proposed to visit the great African lakes in which the Nile finds its source and see whether any works in that region can be undertaken with probability of increasing the flow of the river in its lower courses. Climatologists are not hopeful on that point. It is of course a fact that under British government agriculture has widely expanded in Egypt, so that larger demands are made upon the Nile than in earlier times. But it is not probable that the present needs are as great as they were three or four thousand years ago, when Egypt was the foremost civilized state in the world. As a matter of fact there is probably less water in the Nile than there was then, and less than there was even a hundred or two hundred years ago. There is every evidence that the great desert belt that extends across Africa and Asia at or a little above the tropic of Cancer is growing larger and drier. The Syrian desert, which is now an utter waste, was crowded with cities and full of cultivated fields only two or three thousand years ago. Mesopotamia and Persia, ancient seats of civilization, could hardly have risen so high if their climate then had been what it is now. There are plenty of evidences that the Sahara and the Libyan desert have encroached on the fertile lands of north Africa and of the Sudan. The old "granary of Rome" in Tunis is now largely an arid waste. It is not surprising if the Nile draws less water than it used to from its tributaries in the Sudan and loses more than it used to by evaporation. Most geographers agree that the deserts are growing at present. Some believe that it is only an inevitable step in the drying up of the earth and expect the process to go on forever, though perhaps with occasional remissions. Other scholars say that there is evidence of an extraordinary amount of fluctuation in the climate of the world; that there have been much drier periods than ours, as well as much rarier ones; and that the widening of the northern desert band is only a phase in a long-time movement of climate from wet to dry and back again. But as these secular movements are extremely slow, often taking many thousands of years to complete their swing, none of us now living will be here long enough to know which theory is the right one.—Youth's Companion. Winnipesau Great Wheat Market Winnipeg Great Wheat Market. Vice President D. C. Coleman, Canadian Pacific railway, addressing the Winnipeg Kiwanis club recently, spoke of the record crop harvested during the season just ended, and said that Winnipeg is now the greatest wheat market in the world in point of receipts. For three months ending November, inspections at Chicago totaled 8,275,000 bushels, at Minenapolis 45-969,160 bushels, while at Winnipeg they reached the enormous figure of 108,231,513 bushels. Mr. Coleman said further, in regard to shipments of grain over the Canadian Pacific railway, that from September 1, on the average of 1,016 cars were loaded each day in Winnipeg for transportation East, which meant that a loaded train left Winnipeg for the head of the lakes every 45 minutes during the 91-day period from September 1 to November 30. Sharp Wits. Mary Elizabeth was to have examinations at school. In her reviews on the night before the dreaded day she had found some difficulty with seven times seven. The next morning her mother asked whether she remembered it. The youthful brow puckered in earnest thought for a moment, "N-no, I can't remember it." Then her face brightened as she continued, "But I'll get it all right at school. I can always think better at the point of a pencil."—Los Angeles Times. Etiquette for Co-Eds, Chapter I. "Did you give him a date?" asked the blond sorority girl, sternly. "Why, ye-es," replied her younger "sister." "He called me up so many times to ask me that I didn't know what else to say. What would you have done?" The fair judge pondered a moment, and then rendered her verdict. "I'd never have given him a date," she sailed at last. "I would have told him (she spoke firmly, but entirely without rancor), I would have told him to go and sit on a tack."—H. R. H. in Kansas City Star. Mexico Law Safeguards Women. Under the law of Mexico, it is twice as much an offense to mutilate the face of a woman as it is that of a man. The idea of this is based on the fact that to a woman her beauty is a great asset; to mar it, therefore, is a very serious personal injury. CHINESE THUGS MEET TERMS AMERICAN ARMY OFFICER IS ONE OF FIRST TO BE GIVEN LIBERTY BY BANDITS CAPTIVES ARE SAFE REMAINDER OF PRISONERS TO BE RELEASED SHORTLY; OUTLAWS YIELD TO GOVERNMENT Washington.—Unconditional release by the Chinese bandits of two of their captives, Maj. Robert A. Allen, U. S. A., and W. Smith, was confirmed officially in a dispatch received at the State Department from Consul Davis at Lincheng. The consul added that the negotiations for release of the remaining prisoners held by the bandits continue favorably. From Minister Schurman at Peking, under an earlier date, the department received a cablegram telling of a letter written by Major Allen before his release and opposing an attempted rescue by force. "We are all in good health," Major Allen's letter said. "We are well treated. We are not suffering. We are in no danger. We can remain in good health indefinitely if we scrupulously regard the rules of hygiene necessary in China. "Why be impatient at the slowness of the Chinese government in securing our release? Would it not be better for us to remain here a month or two longer and eventually be released with whole skins than to have our lives endangered because our relatives and friends outside or some of us here are impatient at the delay?" The minister's cablegram quoted John Powell, the American newspaper man, designated to participate in negotiations for release of the prisoners, as having approved the plan of the Chinese government to strengthen its military cordon around the bandits and to exert "slight pressure without, however, opening any hostilities." Powell reported that the bandit chiefs were growing more desirous to negotiate with the Chinese officials. The cablegram said regular supplies of food, medicines and clothing were being sent in to the prisoners. Asks Reconsideration of Rail Merger. Washington.—Further consideration by the Supreme Court of the Southern Pacific-Central Pacific railroad merger was suggested by the department of justice in a brief filed at St. Paul, Minn., before the Federal Circuit Court. In view of the conflict between the Supreme Court decision ordering the Southern Pacific to release its hold on the Central Pacific, and a later interstate commerce commission order permitting the combination to continue on the ground of public interest, the government suggested that the highest court should give new consideration to the whole matter. Democratic Leader Dies Wilson, N. C. — Representative Claude Kitchin, formerly minority leader in the lower house, died a few days ago. At the bedside when Mr. Kitchin died were Mrs. Kitchin, Mrs. Louis B. Suiter, daughter; Mills Kitchin, a son, and Dr. Thurman Kitchin, a brother. The body will be taken to Mr. Kitchin's old home at Scotland Neck, where the funeral will be held. Dr. O. A. Woodard said Mr. Kitchin's death was the culmination of complications which developed after he suffered a stroke of paralysis in 1920. Dye Officials Expelled by French. Berlin.—The French are reported to have expelled fourteen of the leading officials of the Hoechst dye works. A dispatch says that the police of Bochum raided communist headquarters and arrested sixteen of the leaders. Documents relating to the communist organization were seized. By means of these documents arrests of conspirators and the seizure of explosives in other towns were made possible. Ten Die in Religious Riot Mexico City.-Ten persons were killed and seventeen were wounded in a religious riot at Durango City when a mob attacked the provincial palace and disarmed the mounted police. The latter opened fire. Tied Up With Strike Barcelona, Spain.—The port is completely tied up in consequence of the strike of the transport workers. It is said the employers will declare a lockout against the trikers unless they return to work. Cox Buys Canton, Ohio, News Canton, Ohio.—James M. Cox, Dayton publisher and former Democratic presidential nominee, has acquired ownership of the Canton Daily News, the property being purchased from H. H. Timken, Canton manufacturer, and C. W. Ufford, joint owners. This will be the fourth paper added to the Cox group, the Dayton man owning the Dayton News, the Springfield News, and the News-Metropolis of Miami, Fla.

So long as you think that some one else will do what you neglect—so long as you rail at misrule, yet fall to defend your civic rights—so long as you believe that your influence is not needed, and that without you there will be a majority sufficient to prevail for the many, the few shall continue to drag us into the chasm. When every soldier in the ranks fears that his loss means the fall of the cause, an army is resilient—when each mason lays his stone as though the walls cannot stand except through his skill—when every woman bleeds at the wall of grief and the moan of hunger, convinced that her hand alone can ease, and her loaf can succor, then, and only then, shall our mastery endure.

The things that food does for us are important—first it generates heat, that keeps the body warm; it keeps up the body processes, such as the heart action, digestion, respiration and other involuntary functions. It rebuilds that keeps the body warm; it keeps up the body processes, such as the heart action, digestion, respiration and other involuntary functions. It rebuilds and repairs the rundown tissues, stores up reserve fuel for illnesses or sudden demands in emergency, and gives us energy to walk, think and do all kinds of physical and mental work. Pies made of fruit, a piece one and one-half inches; made of creams, meringues, one-inch piece, cookies, two small; cake, cottage pudding, a piece two and one-half by two and one-half; ginger bread the same; all one hundred calories. We find that the average adult needs three thousand to thirty-seven hundred calories a day. As a calorie must be changed to a more common measurement for daily use by the housewife, it has been found that a baked apple equals one hundred calories, one orange the same, also half of a grapefruit, one-half cupful of apple sauce, two or three prunes with two tablespoonfuls of juice, one cupful of dry cereal, or one and three-fourths or less of the cooked wheat or cornmeal, one-fourth of a cupful of scrambled egg, two small cooked eggs, four thin slices of bacon, one slice of French toast, two slices of bread, one tablespoonful of sugar, one tablespoonful of butter. One tablespoonful of butter, one half cupful of milk, one tablespoonful of sugar, one-half cupful of cocoa (tea and coffee of no food value without sugar or cream), all one hundred calories. With the above as a basis one may portion the amount needed for the three meals and form some idea of the amount each individual needs.

Make a cream Cream of Mushroom Soup.—Mash and peel one quart of mushrooms and cook until tender in very little water, then rub through a sleeve. Make a cream sauce, using two tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour, adding the flour when the butter is bubbling hot; season with salt and pepper, add a quart of milk, the mushroom puree and serve piping hot. Cream of Celery Soup.—Take one head of celery, three cupfuls of milk, one cupful of whipped cream, three tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour, salt and pepper to taste. Chop the celery very fine and put it into a double boiler with two cupfuls of the milk, and cook for twenty minutes. Strain, return to the boiler and add a cream sauce, using the flour, butter and one cupful of milk. Add seasonings and stir in the cupful of whipped cream just at the last. Salmon, Cream Soup.—Take one half can of salmon, one quart of milk, two tablespoonfuls of butter, three tablespoonfuls of flour, pepper and salt to taste. Drain the oil from the can of salmon, put the fish with a cupful of milk on the stove and let it cook for a few minutes, then rub through a sieve. Make a sauce of the remainder of the milk and the butter and flour, add the salmon puree, stir until smooth, thoroughly cooking the flour. Serve with hot crackers. Cream of Chicken and Cauliflower. —To two quarts of chicken broth add one cupful of boiled rice and one cupful of boiled cauliflower which has been put through a potato ricer. Season well. Make a cream sauce, using two tablespoonfuls of butter and flour, adding a plint of rich milk; cook until smooth, then add to the first mixture. Serve with a few flowerettes of the cauliflower for a garnish. Nellie Maxwell Various and Excellent Recipes Given by Department of Agriculture in Cooking. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The following recipes are given by the United States Department of Agriculture to show a few of the many ways of using fresh and canned corn. Fresh corn can be used in place of canned corn in any of these. Canned corn may sometimes be substituted for fresh in the recipes which specify fresh corn, but the results are not likely to be so good because the consistency of the canned corn is usually not like that of the fresh. Corn Soup. 1 can, or 2 cup- 2 tablespoonfuls fulls, corn 1 pint boiling water 2 tablespoonfuls flour 1 pint milk 1 teaspoonful salt 1 slice onion Dash of pepper Dash of paprika Fry the onion in the butter and stir in the flour. If raw corn is used, place it in boiling water and boil 5 to 7 minutes. Add the milk to the corn and bring to the scalding point. Thicken with the onion, flour and butter mi- ture and add the seasonings. Corn Chowder. 1 cupful fresh 1 quart potatoes, corn sliced 1½-inch cube salt 1 cupful milk or pork, sliced cream 1 onion, sliced Salt and pepper 8 crackers Fry the salt pork, add the onion, and cook until the onion is tender. Boll the potatoes 5 minutes in 1 quart of boiling water, add the fat, and cook until the potatoes are soft. Add the corn and milk and bring to the scalding point. Add the butter and seasoning. Pour over the crackers and serve hot. 1 teaspoonful salt 1/8 te a spoonful pepper 1 cupful milk 1 can, or 2 cupfuls, corn 1 cupful bread or cracker crumbs 2 sesame green pepper 1 cupful bread or 2 tablespoonfuls cracker crumbs butter 2 slices green pepper Place alternate layers of corn and bread crumbs in a greased baking dish, adding butter and seasoning to each layer. If desired, 1 tablespoonful of sugar may be added. Pour on the milk and bake for one-half hour. Corn Custard or Pudding. 1 can, or 2 cup- 3 eggs fuls, corn 1½ cupfuls milk 2 tablespoonfuls 1 tablespoonful butter sugar 1¼ teaspoonfuls salt Mix as for a baked custard. Pour into a casserole and set in the oven in boiling water. Bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees Fahrenheit) until set, or about 1 hour and 15 minutes. 4 tablespoonfuls fresh corn 1 egg ½ cupful milk 1 teaspoonful full melted fat 1 cupful flour ½ teaspoonful salt 1 teaspoonful baking powder Mix to make a batter and fry in deep fat. **Stuffed Green Peppers.** 6 green peppers 1½ cupfuls meat 2½ cupfuls fresh corn stock thickened with 2 tablespoonful flour ½ onion cut up fine 1½ cupfuls bread crumbs 1½ cupfuls meat chopped or ½ teaspoonful salt ground fine Dash of pepper Remove the tops and seeds from the peppers and parbull in boiling water for 2 minutes. Remove from the water, drain and put in a casserole. Stuff the peppers with a mixture of the corn, onion, meat, bread crumbs, thickened stock mixture and seasoning, and bake. The mixture may be varied by using other materials, such as rice and tomatoes. 1 cupful fresh 3 eggs corn ½ teaspoonful salt 1 cupful white Dash of pepper sauce (see follow- ing recipe) Add the well-beaten egg yolks to the sauce and fold in the corn. Fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites and place in a buttered baking dish, set the dish in a pan of hot water and bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees Fahren- heit) 30 to 40 minutes. White Sauce for Souffle. 1 cupful milk ¼ tablespoonful 8 tablespoonfuls salt flour 2 tablespoonfuls butter Melt the butter and stir in the flour and salt. Add the scalded milk and stir until the mixture thickens and the flour is cooked. The white sauce may be made in a double boiler or directly over the flame. If the latter method is used, care must be taken that the product is not scorched. SHIRRED EGGS ALWAYS GOOD Combinations With Bread Crumbs, Rice or Starchy Cereal Make Delicious Dishes. Combinations of eggs with bread crumbs, rice, or some starchy cereal to give body to the dish are always good, says the United States Department of Agriculture. Fill the baking dish half full of hot boiled rice. Break six eggs and carefully drop them in the rice, taking care not to break the yolks. Pour a cupful of cheese sauce over the eggs and rice and bake in a moderate oven until the whites of the eggs are set. To make the cheese sauce: Melt one tablespoonful of butter and stir into it one tablespoonful of flour, one teaspoonful of salt and one-eighth teaspoonful of white pepper. Add one cupful of cold milk, and stir over the flame until thick and creamy. Add four tablespoonfuls of grated cheese and stir until melted. As a calorie is the food measurement for the amount of heat or energy which our food yields when burned or consumed by our bodies, it should be as familiar a term as an inch or a quart. A calorie is the amount of food heat it takes to raise the temperature of a pound of Dietitians differ as to the amount of calories needed daily by the adult. To take the most conservative the amount ranges from twenty-five hundred to thirty-seven hundred. An inactive woman will need the minimum, an active out-of-door man will take thirty-seven hundred and more. We will accept these figures just as we do the amount of material needed to make a dress or suit; the amount varies with the size of the individual. It is unnecessary for the average person to accurately weigh his food; we may learn a few standard calories or measurements and very quickly learn to gauge the amount one should eat by training the eve. A calorie is the amount of heat produced when food is used or burned by the body. It is a measure—an inch, a pint or any simple kind of measure. Just as the trained fireman knows just how much a given amount of coal will produce in heat or steam pressure, so our bodies, being engines, will give off heat and energy measured by calories. A calorie measure of heat will raise a pound of water four degrees F. or lift one ton of weight one and one-half feet. One large popover, three-fourths of a muffin, cornbread two by two inches, slice of Boston brown bread three-fourths of an inch thick, two small baking powder biscuits, two slices of bread or toast, all one hundred calories. If we are to eat three thousand calories daily we distribute them over the three meals. Usually the breakfast is the lightest meal with most people. One large orange, one large banana, a baked apple without sugar—all are one hundred calories. From the above list one may choose a breakfast giving eight hundred to a thousand calories. In considering the amount of food needed for the body we must remember to lay by a surplus for fighting disease, as reserve and resistance of the body to sudden attacks is very important. A system weakened through underfeeding if attacked by typhoid or pneumonia is almost sure to succumb to the disease. A good salad dressing is one of the greatest food assets; it transforms the unwanted into the sought-for. As the salad dressing is responsible for bringing out the best points of the food with which it is to be combined, it should be as good as possible. Dressings fall under three heads, French, mayonnaise and cooked or boiled dressing. French dressing may be spoiled by the seasoning and mixing, mayonnaise by curdling, adding the oil fast at first The ordinary proportions for French dressing are one of acid to four of oil. The acid may be vinegar and water or lemon juice. The addition of red pepper, sugar, salt, worestershire sauce, tabasco are all a matter of taste, but the blending is important and is never omitted. Beat well with a Dover egg-beater until a thick emulsion is formed. Serve well chilled and freshly beaten just before serving. For mayonnaise take one cupful of oil, one egg yolk, half a teaspoonful each of salt and mustard, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar. More oil may be used, making a stiffer dressing, adding more seasonings. The best way to proceed is to add to the egg yolk the vinegar and seasonings and beat one minute; if a good emulsion is produced at the beginning no trouble will be had by curdling later when the oil is added; now add two teaspoonfuls of oil and beat one minute, repeat, then add four teaspoonfuls of oil and oat one minute, add two tablespoonfuls and beat one minute, rest for half a minute, then add three tablespoonfuls and beat one minute, repeat, rest again for half a minute, add the last of the oil, one-quarter cupful, and give a two-minute beating. After becoming expert more oil may be added toward the last of the process, but be careful of too much oil in the beginning. Nellie Maxwell COOK TOUGH CHICKEN IN FIRELESS COOKER It Should Be Allowed to Remain at Least Two Hours or Until It Is Tender. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Cook the less tender chickens in the fireless cooker, suggests the United States Department of Agriculture. It is best to disjoint the chicken when it is to be prepared in this way. Pinfeathers, the oil sac and surplus fat should be removed and the fine hairs singed. After being well washed the parts may be put immediately into boiling water sufficient to cover them and seasoned to taste. The chicken should be simmered half an hour and then put into the fireless cooker, where it should remain at least two hours and as much longer as is necessary to cook it tender. It should not be left in the cooker long enough to cool, even to the lukewarm stage, for at such temperatures bacteria in it may develop and cause food poisoning. Many cooks consider that a clove or garlic in the stewing water gives an almost imperceptible flavor, which improves the flatness of ordinary SALMON Chicken Salad. boiled chicken. A small onion is sometimes made to answer the same purpose, but too much onion destroys the delicate flavor of the chicken. The boiled chicken, when it is tender, may be prepared for the table in a variety of ways. It may be fricasseeed in a gravity made from the chicken stock, or served in a cream sauce on toast, in patty shells, or en casserole. It may be used for chicken salad; croquettes of minced cooked chicken are good, as is chicken hash on toast. The recipe below is suggested by the United States Department of Agriculture: 6 tomatoes or one 1 medium - sized 2 can tomah 6 tomatoes or one No. 2 can tomatoes 3 sweet red peppers cut in small cubes 3 sweet green peppers cut in small cubes, or one No. 2 can peppers 2 teaspoonpuffs salt 2 tablespoonpuffs butter or bacon drippings 1 onion (size of drippings an egg) Dress the fowl and cut into joints. Melt the fat, add onion and pepper. Cook for a few minutes to develop flavor. Then add salt, tomato and ham and simmer for 10 minutes. Place lay- Chicken a la King. ers of the chicken, vegetable mixture and ham in casserole until all is used. Pour over this 1 cupful boiling water. Simmer for one-half hour and put in fireless cooker for three hours without the hot disk or two hours with it. SERVE EGGS WITH TOMATOES Attractive Way Is Suggested by Department of Agriculture—Eggs Cooked in Cups. When fresh tomatoes are in season an attractive way of serving eggs is to cook them in tomato cups, suggests the United States Department of Agriculture. Select the desired number of good sized tomatoes, allowing one to each person. Cut off the blossom end, scoop out the seeds and stand the tomatoes in a baking pan in the oven until they are partly cooked. Put one-half teaspoonful of butter and a dusting of salt and pepper into the bottom of each and break in one egg. Place in the oven until the eggs are "set" to the desired hardness. Have ready a round of toasted bread well buttered, and place each tomato in the center of a round of toast, serve hot. Household Questions A soft shade on the candelabrum gives a festive note to the dinner table. A pinch of cream of tartar added to fudge while cooking will keep it from crystallizing. Do not keep olive oil directly on the ice. If it freezes it will separate and cannot be used. Gasoline will clean the type of a typewriter. Dip a brush in the liquid and go over each type bar. Save old silk stockings. They may be cut in strips, sewed together and crocheted into porch mats. Add a little kerosene to a pail of hot water and scrub the cellar floor. The kerosene will act as an antiseptic. (©, 1923, Western Newspaper Union.) Strength of character is not mere strength of feeling; it is the resolute restraint of strong feeling.

INSISTENTLY displayed in the new showings of summer wraps, are capes long and capes short, capes to match the dress and capes to harmonize with almost any costume, capes for day and capes for evening. Fashion has evidently turned to the cape as the most logical of wraps for the warmer months and it brings a refreshing note into tailored and sports garb, besides playing its usual part in dresser apparel. Cape-and-dress combinations vie with skirt-and-coat CINEMA THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY or skirt-and-jacquette suit, and they have the appeal of novelty as well as smart style to recommend them. One thinks of capes as about the shapest of garments, but the ingenuity of designers has been put to the test to give them innumerable and unexpected touches. They are endless varied and interesting, especially those that complete tailored costumes. The liking for color contrasts and for matching up frocks and the linings of wraps to be worn with them, contribute to the fine style of the dress-and-cape costume. A chic cape that will serve for all-round wear in summer, is shown in the illustration. It is made of a heavy character. Note that rough-surfaced wool cross bar pattern (and everywhere in evidence the weave of the cloth features. If one is looking for and peculiar to this piece it may be found in t and side-die models.

This model is out in two sections, the lower one slightly fuller than the upper one which forms a deep yoke and is adorned with two scant ruffles of wide satin ribbon. The collar and revers extending to the bottom of the cape are faced with ribbon. Capes are among the few outer garments that the average home dressmaker can undertake to make with success, for herself. Provided with patterns such as are furnished by pattern companies, she has only to --- follow directions to make a garment that will prove something to be proud of as a wrap and as an accomplishment. Now is the time when the outfitting of the younger girls and children, for their summer vacation, must be completed and mothers are busy replenishing their wardrobes. If the quest is for practical coats the model pictured here may be taken as a criterion. It reveals the preferences of the mode in garments of its sturdy A character. Note that it is made of rough-surfaced wool material, in cross bar pattern (and cross bars are everywhere in evidence) achieved in the weave of the cloth or by decorative features. If one is looking for something new and peculiar to this particular spring, it may be found in the wrap-around and side-tie models. Plain broadcloth or heavy twill, stitched in narrow tucks that form a cross bar pattern, are fastened at the side with ties, made either of the material of the coat or of wide ribbon. Some of these coats have high, turnover collars of summer furs. Sleeves are wide and occasionally a cape across the back, or ```markdown ``` sleeves that suggest a cape, provide a graceful variation in the styles. All over, chain-stitch embroidery, in contrasting colors, on plain material, is featured, and Egyptian motifs, in colors cleverly used, reveal kings and servitors, urins, scarabs, and camels sketched in silk stitchery. Capes must not be overlooked. They are represented by very attractive models in plain cloths and in knitted fiber silk with collars of an orn woo! Like conts, they are full length. The furore for the Jacquette which shows no signs of diminishing, has resulted in wraps of heavy, printed crepe, and other silks, some of them much longer than the regulation Jacquette and of a dressier type than the usual summer wrap for misses.
