LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs Meet In Denver Twentieth Annual Convention Brings Great Concourse of Talented Women Together VOL. XXIX. State Federation Women's C In D Twentieth Annual Great Concour Women SIGNIFICANT, indeed, was the gathering of noble-hearted women of the Race in Denver this week as delegates and visi- tors to the twentieth annual convention of the State Federa- tion of Colored Women's Clubs of Colorado and jurisdiction. This organization of brilliant, unselfish, high-purposed women has made much valuable history in the score or more years of its existence. One has but to look back upon its illustrious founder and line of officers to note what potent influence must have been wielded for the betterment of civilization during these twenty years. With the motto: "Lifting as we climb," and an injunction, "No power on earth can keep you down if you WILL to rise," this Federation of Colored Women's Clubs points the way to the stars in no unmistakable way. The twentieth convention opened Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock with Mrs. Ollie Redd of Cheyenne, president, in the chair. An unusually large number of delegates for an opening session were on hand. After the appointment of the usual committees an address of welcome on behalf of the state was delivered by Mr. Hale Smith, secretary to Gov. William E. Sweet, who was detained in Estes Park. He was well received. Splendid reports came in from the various clubs comprising the Federation, indicating much progress in the past year. An interesting afternoon session, with an increased number of delegates, was held, at which time the report of officers and various chairmen were submitted. The evening session opened with Mrs. Ethel Caldwell, chairman of the program committee, presiding. A large crowd was on hand and joined in heartily, singing "America." The invocation was delivered by Rev. A. Wayman Ward. Mayor Ben F. Stapleton was on hand and delivered the welcome address on behalf of the city. This was the new mayor's first appearance before our group, and while making no effort at oratory, he impressed all present as to his earnestness. Appropriate welcome addresses on behalf of the churches and clubs were given and were neatly responded to by Mrs. Leonard of Cheyenne. The features of this great session, however, was the president's annual address, in which Mrs. Ollie Redd arose magnificently to the occasion, and a lovely vocal solo by our own Miss Clifford Freeman that captivated the audience. Miss Nelson Howard was next introduced and delivered an address on the N. A. A. C. P. that was indeed a gem. Miss Howard was highly complimented on all sides for her splendid address, and many present took out memberships. A reception to the officers, dele- gates and visitors closed a brilliant day for the ladies of the Federation. Thursday was the real big day of the convention. The program rendered at each session was of exceptionally high merit. It is said by those who have long followed the history of the Federation, that the women have never offered programs of greater variety nor shown deeper research than this year. During the afternoon session an impressive memorial service was held in honor of the late Mrs. Eliza Dishman and Mrs. Wilhelmina Hall. The evening session brought forth a beautiful address on "Old Flowers, Old Songs and Mother" by Mrs. Amelia Reeves. Mrs. Edna Canty delighted the large audience with an artistically rendered instrumental solo. Then came the classic of the whole convention, a debate: "Resolved that there should be a divorce." Mrs. Hill of Pueblo and Mrs. Leonard of Cheyenne were for the affirmative, while Mrs. Viola Cobb Colorado Springs and Mrs. Elizabeth Twyman, Denver, ably presented the negative side of the question. It proved to be a very entertaining feature of the convention. Mr. James Cooper, Mrs. M. Flora Stell and Miss Nelsine Howard as judges, gave a decision in favor of the affirmative. Friday morning was set for the election of officers instead of at the afternoon session in order that many of the delegates could attend an Eastern Star function in honor of the Grand Matron. The delegates were highly entertained while in the city and it is certain Denver has been much benefitted by contact with the stalwart, brainy women of the Race. The COLORADO STATESMAN has observed that Mrs. Ollie Redd of Cheyenne, as president of the Federation, led with a dignity and clearness of vision that was of the highest type. She is a noble woman, who will bring pride and distinction to her people and sex at any time. EXHIBITION OF ART WORK-MERITORIOUS PHASE OF FEDERATION CONVENTION More than 600 pieces of art work were on exhibition at Zion Baptist Church during the convention of the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs this week, representing values of several thousands of dollars. The entire upper floor of the church was converted into exhibition rooms for the various clubs that make a specialty of art work, and was crowded with visitors each day. Much of the work showed skill, workmanship and knowledge, with a high artistic deftness of unusual merit. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House RELIABLE PE RAD THE JOURN DENV ABLE PEOPLE'S P ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1923. Dr. L. K. Williams Will Address World Congress Two Colored Ministers Among Eleven Leading Baptist Speakers at Stockholm, Sweden Dr. E. A. Wilson, of Texas, To Speak on the Future of Negro Baptists Chicago, June 6 (By Edgar Brown, Staff Correspondent).—Dr. L. K. Williams, president of the U. S. National Baptist Convention and pastor of Olivet Baptist Church in Chicago, with over 10,000 members, will be one of the eleven prominent American ministers on the program of the World Congress of Baptists in Sweden July 21-27. The only other colored speaker is a Southerner from Texas, Dr. E. A. Wilson of Dallas, whose topic is "The Future of Negro Baptists." The last meeting was held in Philadelphia in 1912. The meeting scheduled for 1916 in Berlin was postponed on account of the war, and this meeting will be the first for ten years. Several thousand official delegates are expected from the United States, Canada, South America, Central Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, The Philippine Islands, China, Burma and India, as well as from Great Britain, Sweden, Norway and the countries of continental Europe. Several other topics of major importance besides the "colored people's religion," such as the question of international peace, in which the League of Nations will doubtless figure, are to receive the attention of the delegates. Tulsa Riot Victims File Suits Against City for $3,035,235.87 Negroes of Tulsa, who were completeley wiped out by fire following the big Race conflict two years ago, have unanimously rebuilt their section more beautiful than before. Modern brick buildings, fine business establishments, elegant homes, and good churches adorn the section now that was a mass of ruins June 1st, 1921. At the close of business June 1st, 1923, these courageous Race people filed damage suits against the City, County, City Officials, their Bondsmen, and the Sinclair Oil Company, to the amount of $3,035,235.87. And that only represented the losses of the largest property owners. Thousands of the smaller losers became discouraged and did not file suit. In most cases prominent Race attorneys are pushing the cases—many of whom have national reputations. Hon. G. W. Hutchings, local Race attorney, was the first to file a suit. He was followed by Attorneys B. C. Franklin, E. I. Saddler, H. A. Guess, I. S. Spears, all local Race lawyers and Hon. Elisha Scott of Topeka, Kansas, Hon. G. W. Carry of Guthrie, Okla., Hon. R. Emmett Stewart and Hon. Benard Smith of Muskogee, Okla. One White law firm filed four of the largest cases in the Federal Court. --- Bishop Wallace Narrowly Escapes Violence by White Mob Warren, Ark., June 1.—Is it possible for a venerable bishop to "sass" a 20-year-old youth? This was the claim of a white mob, which took Bishop P. A. Wallace from his stopping place, locked him up in the office of the Mayor, threatened him with gun and rope and struck him with a chair until town officials rescued him. Bishop Wallace, whose home is in Brooklyn, N. Y., was on his way to Walters University here to deliver the baccalaureate sermon. Arriving in the station during the rain, he took shelter inside awaiting the auto to take him to the school grounds. At this point the 20-year-old white station porter, announced that it was time to close the station and "you damn niggers take your baggage and get out." Bishop Wallace remonstrated with the youth and in reply received two blows from a stove poker and threats to "get you tonight." Later in the evening the bishop was called from the house by an auto load of men looking for the "nigger who had an argument with a white man at the station." Bishop Wallace was locked up in the Mayor's office, and a man armed with a revolver placed over him. Abused, threatened, cursed and hit by a chair in the hands of this guard, the prelate was finally rescued by school authorities who had gotten the mayor out of bed. Authorities refused to prosecute the porter or the members of the mob, on the ground that no Arkansas jury would believe the word of a black man against a white, and if Bishop Wallace came to court with any chages, he would probably be lynched. Prof. Kerlin Loses Suit Prof. Kerlin Loses Suit Lexington, Ky.—Prof. Robert T. Kerlin's battle for academic freedom came to an untimely end today when Judge McLemore sustained the demurrer of the Virginia Military Institute. Prof. Kerlin was suing for $50,000 damages to his reputation, because of expulsion from the school on account of his advocacy of the constitutional rights of the six colored men sentenced to death by the Arkansas courts following the Elaine massacre of Negroes in 1920. The Virginia Military Institute is a State institution, said Judge McLemore, in sustaining the demurrer, held the board could not be sued for damages because they were a part of the executive machinery of the State responsible to the Governor. Prof. Kerlin said he will not appeal the case. "The law is against me and I shall not try to contest it," he said. "I am sorry that it has come out this way, because I believe the trial would have been a contribution to the cause of freedom of speech and opinion among teachers." "Destitute of Moral Courage" Says Sir Basil Thomson (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) Sir Basil Thomson, former director of the criminal investigation department of Great Britain's detective center, Scotland Yard, warns of the danger of the Ku Klux Klan, in an interview published in the New York Herald of Sunday, June 3. "The new Klan professes to wage war against modern social evil," said Sir Basil, "but in reality it fosters animosity against the Roman Catholics, the Jews and the colored people. It can do no possible good, and it may do much harm. "It's use of the mask opens the door to the adoption of disguise by violent criminals who will not be slow to copy the form of the Klansman's mask when they have old scores to settle. "Some unthinking people have likened the movement to the Italian Fascist movement, but the Fascist works openly and scorns the use of masks. The Klansman's defense for the mask, or rather the defense of those with whom I have talked, is that some people are shy of joining a movement, however much they approve of its objects, if they have to come out into the open. One would have thought that recruits so destitute of moral courage were scarcely worth enrolling. I venture the suggestion, which I make without any disrespect to the Klan, that without the masks there would be no recruits." Negro Migration Steps are being taken by Bethel Church, 4200 Grand Boulevard, Dr. C. M. Tanner, pastor, to map out a program in reference to the duty of the Negro churches toward the thousands of colored people who are migrating from various sections of the South to Chicago. It is estimated that not less than two or three hundred people arrive here every week. Many men are coming with the thought of sending for their families later, while many have their families and all their worldly possessions with them. In many instances they are practically living in peonage in certain sections of the country. By moving to other sections of the country, where honest toll is appreciated their conditions will be immeasurable improved. Thus far the colored churches of Chicago have not worked out any united or definite plan to deal with the problem of southern migration. Some of the pastors of the leading churches are striving to have co-operation in this work. Denominational lines will be obliterated in this church uplift work. Requests have been made that special sermons be preached to the strangers who are within our gates, letting them know the new and graver responsibility that rest upon them in the highly organized life of the great city. It is intended that they shall be met at the trains, whenever necessary taken to a central stopping place, also they will be informed of the location NO.35. Boley, Oklahoma, Negro Town, Is Center of Newest Oil Rush Boley, Okla., June 7.—Oil prospectors are rushing into this city and section by the hundreds. Over night the black metropolis of America has become a seething beehive of humanity and if the oncoming hordes continues, within a few weeks Boley will have doubled its population. The cause of the excitement develops out of the spouting of a big oil well brought in on a quarter section owned by Rev. Robert Kirksey, located about four miles northwest of this city lost Friday night. The new well is a big gusher, showing much more promise than the recent well brought in at Castle on McKerns quarter. Another well is being driven through the sand on the Sam Callahan farm just one mile north of Boley and the indications are that another big gusher will add to the already excited town in a few days. THOUSANDS OF ACRES Thousands of acres of the land in this section and Okfuskee, are in the hands and control of black folk. From Sand Creek back to Rusk, all of the land is owned by Negroes and it is said that this new field will develop more millionaires than any other section has developed among our group. The new strike is said to be an extension of the field located two years ago at Clearview. BLACK MILLIONAIRES Oklahoma has smiled kindly upon many black folk who own her soil. In the past she has belched forth millions in liquid gold into the hands of hundreds of black men and women. Especially in eastern Oklahoma. Luther Manuel, Sarah Rector, Queen Victoria Jackson and an unending stream of others have lived to see barren hills and rocky crags transformed over night into "Castles in Spain." Boley's citizens are dreaming just such dreams, tonight as many of Oklahoma's black folk have lived to realize. of the various churches, banks, insurance companies and other Negro business enterprises. Proper home surroundings will be secured and the immigrant will be advised in plain talks as to his best interest and warnings of the pitfalls and dangers of the city. A free employment bureau and labor exchange has been opened at the above church. Good wages, steady work. Write 359 E. 42nd Street, Mrs. M. Hayes, secretary, or come to Bethel's Free Employment Bureau and secure work. The first meeting looking forward to this work will be held Tuesday, June 26, 1923, at 2 p. m., at Bethel A. M. E. Church, 4200 Grand Boulevard. FOREIGN Six Germans were killed and three wounded by French soldiers in Dortmund a few days ago says an official bulletin issued at French headquarters in Dusseldorf. Forty-one persons, one an American, were drowned when a cable ferry upset at Kuzbas, the Russian industrial town, according to news dispatches. The other victims were Russians. The ferry was American Built. Two French non-commissioned officers were killed by Germans during a pistol fight in Dortmund. As far as the French authorities have been able to ascertain the fighting occurred during a brawl. It is considered likely that no penalty will be imposed upon Dortmund. The two representatives of the Paotzuku bandits returned to the Paotzuku camp accompanied by General Chen one of the government's delegates engaged in the negotiations. All negotiations were completed and General Chen announced that all the captives had been released. Jesse C. Carsen, who was arrested at Tegucigalpa, Honduras, at the time Mrs. Clara Phillips, the hammer murderess was apprehended there, has been released, according to Tegucigalpa advises. It is explained that the American authorities waived their claim to extradition of Carsen, who was arrested in connection with the escape of Mrs. Phillips from a Los Angeles jail. Thirteen lives were lost and a large area laid waste by a typhoon on the Island of Samar, according to telegrams received in Manila from constabulary headquarters there. The report said that in seven towns 95 per cent of the houses were blown down, and that the homeless thousands were threatened with famine. Those in the devastated region are subsisting on unripe coconuts and green palm leaves. Peasant revolts against the new Bulgarian regime are reported throughout the country, dispatches from Sofia say. Near Plevna the revolt has assumed serious proportions, it is declared, and a force of 10,000 is said to have been surrounded. Fresh troops have been dispatched there. Dispatches say that the new government has ordered the mobilization of all reserve officers and of several young classes. Volunteers are being armed. GENERAL A new city directory, to be issued soon, will give the population of Chicago at 2,935,887. Gov. Al Smith of New York state reiterated in Chicago that he will not be a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination next year. Headquarters for the enlistment of 120 officers and men for the proposed air service unit of the National Guard of Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska were opened in St. Louis. Building and loan associations in the United States have invested $3,000,000,000, the savings of 6,000,000 persons, in home building mortgages, the National Association of Real Estate Boards announced in Chicago. Thirteen thousand maintenance of way employees and shop laborers of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad were granted wage increases ranging from 1 cent an hour to $1 a month, effective as of June 15, it was announced in Chicago. Mayor Hylan of New York, who recently pledged city support to the enforcement of the Volstead law, told Federal Prohibition Director Palmer Canfield in a letter recently all liquor should be stopped at the port of entry and that enforcement was up to government officials. "Enforcement of the Volstead act is your job in this locality," the mayor's letter, "and you should go at it honestly. Do not try to shift the burden on the shoulders of anybody else." Fire in the hold of the freighter William A. McKenney, which arrived in Los Angeles recently from New York, was extinguished after it had burned twenty-seven hours and caused damage estimated at $150,000. Catching the contagion from New York and Wisconsin, the Illinois House of Representatives voted for a referendum on the question of repeal of the Illinois search and seizure law and the prohibition enforcement act by adopting a motion by Representative Thomas O'Grady, Chicago, that his bill making this provision be advanced to second reading without reference to committee. The vote was 78 to 70. Thomas A. Edison, who has been quoted as believing college graduates to be uninformed and ignorant "white collar" experts, was at Cambridge, Miss., to watch his son, Thomas Miller Edison, receive a degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. For this college graduate, Mr. Edison said, there is a job waiting at the Edison plant without the preliminary mental test usually insisted on for candidates. Four lives have been lost and many persons are missing, thousands have been driven from their homes and damage to crops and property estimated in millions of dollars has been done as a result of floods in many sections of Kansas, according to reports from that state. The heaviest loss of life and the heaviest property damage is in southwest Kansas, at Arkansas City and Winfield. Capt. James F. Morford, U. S. A. stationed at Camp Vail, near Red Bank, N. J., committed suicide in a hotel by shooting himself. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWCRK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE WESTERN Mrs. A. K. Pesonen, wife of the headkeeper at North Head lighthouse, near Iwaco, Wash., ended her life by jumping off the cliff overlooking the ocean—a drop of more than 400 feet. Those members of the Seattle Society for Psychic Research who sought to persuade Sir Arthur Conan Doyle not to exhibit certain purported spirit photographs were dubbed "fools" and "busybodies" by him when he reached Seattle for the last lecture of an American tour. Sheriff's posses are searching the hills between Plains, Mont. and Paradise, Mont., for a robber who escaped with $1,500 of the funds of the Farmers' State bank of Plains, after locking C. S. Robinson, the president, in the vault. Robinson was released soon afterward by patrons who heard him knocking on the wall. A plague of crickets is reported in Uinta county, eastern Utah, and adjoining counties in western Colorado and farmers of the vicinity have applied to the Utah state board to help them save their crops. A year ago there was a similar cricket plague, but prompt action was successful in killing off a great majority of the pests. According to word received at Tonopah, Nev., the Bellehelen mine shaft bottom now extends its full width in high grade milling ore at a depth of sixty feet. It is stated that the ore is unquestionably of deep seated origin. The work on this ore body is pronounced to be one of the most important developments in southern Nevada mining in months. Raeburn Doughty, half-back on the Stanford university team for 1922 and later physical instructor in the Sacramento high schools, was held in the city jail incommunicado in San Francisco at the request of the federal secret service. He was arrested after he was reported to have tried to pass in a drug store a $2 bill which had been raised to $20. The police sald nine other such notes were found in his pockets. Seth Orrin Danner, accused by his wife of killing John and Florence Sprouse, travelling companions of the Danners, near Central Park, Mont., on Nov. 14, 1920, later burying the mutilated bodies in a shallow grave, where they were unearthed a few days ago, was formally charged with murder in the first degree, two informations being filed against him. Danner pleaded not guilty to both charges and was remanded to jail at Bozeman, Mont., without bail. WASHINGTON A sentence of nine years' imprisonment in Leavenworth penitentiary and a fine of $6,000 were imposed in federal Court at San Francisco upon J. A. Schaefer, former head of the bank of Gridley, Calif. Schaefer was arrested in Columbus, Ohio, and was convicted recently in Sacramento of embezzling approximately $50,000 of the funds of the bank of which he was president. Sixteen cases remained in the hands of the Supreme Court undeclared when it adjourned for the summer. It also carried over for action after it meets next October a number of motions. The principal grain crops of the country will be smaller this year than last, with the exception of oats and barley, both of which have been planted on a large acreage than a year ago, according to the Department of Agriculture's monthly report issued in Washington. No reports have been made yet of corn. The estimate of competent authority that it will cost the federal government at least $100,000,000 to enforce prohibition in New York came as a shock to dry leaders who have been confidently predicting that Congress would not hesitate to appropriate all the money necessary to make the Volstead act effective. They were not quite prepared for such big figures. Heretofore they have had considerable difficulty in getting $10,000,000 for the prohibition enforcement unit and in the next Congress they will have a greatly strengthened wet element to contend with. The first international complication to result from enforcement of the new ship liquor regulations developed when the French embassy took up with treasury officials the question of releasing from customs seals enough wine to supply the regular ration to the crew of the French liner France in New York harbor. Ten persons were injured, two of them seriously, in a collision at Riverside, Va., between two electric trains, whose passengers included a number of visitors to the Washington Shriners' convention.

The resolution was passed unanimously without general discussion. The resolutions will be sent to all Colorado senators and representatives of the national Congress. Another resolution passed at the meeting was one strongly censuring Secretary of State Carl Milliken for his action in awarding to the Michigan state penitentiary the contract for the furnishing of 1924 automobile license plates for Colorado.

Human nature has a much greater genius for sameness than for originality.—Lowell. FORESTRY DISPUTE NEVER DIES OUT PRESIDENT HARDING MAY GET TRUTH ON CONSERVATION WHEN IN ALASKA. SOME THINK IT IS OVERDONE William Russell Dudley's Interesting Story of the Life History of a Great Tree in the Converse Basin, California. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—There are officials in Washington who believe in proper conservation of the national resources of the country, but who say they would like to find out once for all what proper conservation is. In Washington, as presumably elsewhere where people talk about the subject, there seems to be no middle ground of opinion on this subject. It is a case of "save everything" on the one side and "destroy everything" on the other side. Forestry has been the cause of row after row in the government service. The stories of some of the disturbances which tree conservation has kicked up are too well known to need repetition, but the hard facts seem to be that the rows are likely to be continued indefinitely into the future. Mention a tree even casually in Washington and it instantly becomes necessary to get under cover in order to avoid controversy or something worse. Probably President Harding would not go to Alaska this summer if one part of its domain were not producing great forests of trees. If one were to believe all that he hears about tree conservation and the general subject of Alaska trees, he could learn in five minutes on the one hand that greedy corporations want to cut down every stick of timber overnight, and on the other hand that the forestry service is determined that no one, for whatever purpose, shall be allowed to take out of Alaska so much as a silver or a chip of its forest growth. Too Much Conservation? While forest conservation has been the cause of recurring rows in the government ever since the Ballinger-Pinchot affair, it can be said that in the earlier days it was much easier to understand the reasons for the difference of opinion between the two schools of thought on the general forestry matter. Then it seemed to be a case, so far as the foresters were concerned, of a willingness to allow timber to be cut so long as its cutting was restricted and care in lumbering methods was exercised. The foresters wanted to save and to use at the same time. Now if some of the partisans in the Interior department in its recent controversy with the Agriculture department are to be believed, the foresters are overdoing the matter of conservation. This may not be true, and as a matter of fact anything which is said on this general forestry subject in Washington should be studied and "proved up" before belief in it is expressed. In this one government matter "you never can tell." Trees are interesting for other reasons than for the rows that they kick up in the government service. Some trees are more interesting than others. Perhaps a little extract from an article on a tree by William Russell Dudley, after he had made a study of the great growths in the Converse basin, California, may prove the point of interest. Story of a California Tree. Mr. Dudley wrote of the remarkable recuperative power of some of the great trees in the basin after they had been injured by a fire, and then he continued: "Among a number of similar cases the most instructive record of these ancient forest fires was observed in a tree in moderate size—about fifteen feet in diameter, five feet from the ground. It was 270 feet in height and 2,171 years old. "The history of the tree was as follows: "B. C. 271 it began its existence. The first year of the Christian era it was about four feet in diameter above the base. A. D. 245, at five hundred and sixteen years of age, a burning three feet wide occurred on the trunk. One hundred and five years were occupied in covering this wound with a new tissue. For 1,196 years no further injuries were registered. A. D. 1441, at 1712 years of age, the tree was burned the second time in two long grooves, one and two feet wide respectively. Each had its own system of repair. "One hundred and thirty-nine years of growth followed, including the time of covering the wounds. A. D. 1580, at 1,851 years of age occurred another fire, causing a burn on the trunk two feet wide which took fifty-six years to cover with new tissue. Two hundred and seventeen years of growth followed this burn. A. D. 1797, when the tree was 2,068 years old, a tremendous fire attacked it burning a great scar eighteen feet wide. One hundred and three years enabled the tree to reduce the exposed area of the burn to about fourteen feet in width." It was not many years ago that it was found by the scientists that a great tree which had been felled for commercial purposes had begun its existence five hundred and twenty-five years before Christ. Great Services Unrecognized. Secretary of War Weeks, in a recent speech at San Diego, Cal., said: "I wish it were possible for the War department to promote one, two or three officers each year for outstanding conspicuous service." The secretary has no illusions. He probably knows, as other officials of government know, and as the victims of indifference know, that so long as present day propaganda against the army and navy and against the safety of the country is allowed to continue unchecked and almost unchallenged, no man who dared all to do his duty can hope for any recognition. Army officers and navy officers say nothing about these things. Those who have earned recognition and never have been given it necessarily are silent. Their comrades, who know what the deserving have done, cannot speak publicly because their words would be construed as criticism of congress and would subject them to punishment for daring, American citizenlike, to speak their minds. There are on the retired list today army officers who commanded armies during the World war. Their rank as army commanders should have been that of general, but they were denied while on active service the right to a rank which all other countries gave to army chieftains. When these officers retired from active service, having reached the age limit, congress denied to them the additional grade on the retired list which it had granted to every retiring officer who had seen service in other wars. Pershing the One Exception. The only American soldier who came out of the World war with a fixed rank higher than that of a major general is John J. Pershing. Bullard and Liggett, who were lieutenant generals temporarily during the conflict, are today major generals, one retired and the other still active. Joseph T. Dickman, accounted by some the greatest soldier which we sent to France, is today on the retired list as a major general. He commanded successively a division, a corps, and an army, and commanded them all while holding the rank of major general, for although his achievements won him recognition and promotion of command, he was denied the promotion in rank. So it was that as a major general he commanded an army, and when the day came for his retirement congress declined to give to him an additional grade. On the retired list today is Col. Wilds P. Richardson, who commanded the American troops at Archangel, Russia, where his army superiors said he performed one of the great achievements of the war. He was specially selected for this duty because of his knowledge of northern peoples. His campaign, his superiors say, was brilliant. In fact it was one that saved a situation. Congress declined to make Richardson a brigadier general on his retirement although he had held that rank during the World war. Only one or two instances have been given of neglect of the American people to recognize even in a small way the service which devoted men rendered them. To men who know the circumstances in these cases the neglect seems nothing short of gross. Congress Listens to Propagandists. Responsibility for this refusal of congress to give the slightest recognition to army men who have won it probably is directly attributable to the activities throughout the country of various organizations which are striving to put the United States into a complete state of disarmament. Certain propagandists seemingly hate not only the army and navy but the individual men thereof. It seemingly is a fact that congress has paid closer attention to the campaigning activities of these half Russian societies than it has to any plea which has been made to it by the voice of sturdy patriotism. Years ago Theodore Roosevelt, while president, called attention to the fact that it virtually was impossible for the commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States to reward by proper promotion the high deed of any officer of either service. At that time President Roosevelt wanted to promote Capt. John J. Pershing to a majority. Under the law he could not do it. Therefore, he did the only thing that he could do in recognition of Pershing's service in the Philippines. He made him a brigadier general, promoting him over the heads of hundreds of his fellow officers. The president at that time could name anybody he chose to general rank. This was his sole authority in the matter of promotion. Survivors of Stone Age. Considering that Australia is the only part of the world where a race of the genuine Stone age can be studied, it is impossible to help agreeing with Sir Baldwin Spencer, the first living authority on the aborigines, that it is a thousand pities the investigation was not begun earlier of the manners and customs, as he told the members of the Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science at its recent meeting at Wellington, had governments and savants, and the general public interested themselves in the matter before the race went so far as they have done on the road to extinction—Adelaide Chronicle. His Holy Spanking. When I was a small boy mother took me out for a walk and I insisted on going up and down the post office steps. I would not obey her. She looked for a place to give me a good spanking.

OPPORTUNITY COLORADO came into her own as a sovereign state Monday last when the United States Supreme Court confirmed the legality of the Moffat tunnel improvement district. The decision means a new day and a new era for Colorado in general and for Denver in particular. In recent years, Colorado has not shown the growth and development in keeping with the general prosperity of the nation. With a decline in mining interests our state seemed somewhat to go backward a notch or two. The commercial and industrial possibilities of the state had not been sufficiently stressed, and much of our material wealth and natural resources were locked up in a vast, inaccessible empire just beyond our visible mountain range. Hence the Moffat tunnel dream, and now after many years struggle, legal battles and trumped up barriers, the way has been cleared, the door opened and the opportunity for relaization of this dream is at hand. Northwestern Colorado is regarded as a treasure house of illimitable possibilities and we do not believe the estimate is overdrawn. The hour of our prosperity will undoubtedly be ushered in with the first stroke of actual construction. "For years the tunnel has been a crying need of Colorado and now that the last legal barrier has been removed and no further litigation can prevent the carrying out of the project, the citizens will not be content with anything less than immediate and definite steps to break ground and begin the actual boring of the big tube. Those who have worked for many, many years to bring this project to completion may well be congratulated upon their efforts. When the many lost heart and even faith, the few stuck to their task, convinced of the righteousness of their cause and imbued with the vision which scoffs at temporary setbacks." We believe that the prosperity and opportunities certain to accrue from this great Colorado enterprise will bless all our citizenry alike. The important thing is to be ready and take advantage of every opening. We believe that the building of the Moffat tunnel will be the signal for the unloosing of the purse strings of Eastern capital as well as an alluring invitation to laborers and industries. Colorado has had many prosperous eras in the past. The sensation then will not be wholly new. We trust and believe that substantiality will mark the building of the tunnel and that he who goes with the tide will be benefitted beyond the dreams of our most optimistic pioneer. Plainly speaking the Negro citizens must plan to be a part and parcel of Colorado's development in every way. We are looking to the future and we trust, that from the eminence of our most lofty peaks the hand of the blackman may be seen tracing through every nook and cranny of our state's growth and industrial progress. "THE BLACK MAMMY" NEW use has been found for the "black mammy" sob stuff so often employed by the Southern man at convenient intervals. Not content with an attempt to exalt and bolster up a false and hypocritical "reverence" by erecting a statue in the city of Washington to the "black mammy," a thing no Negro wants, a thing more of debasement than elevation, a Mississippi sheriff recently gave to the world another startling reason why the "black mammy" should be preserved in marble and bronze. An Arizona sheriff in the discharge of his duty found it necessary to slay a Negro convict. It is highly probable that the Arizona officer was clearly within his rights and that the Negro was of the type that invited destruction. Certainly no evidence to the contrary has been adduced. Here now enters the Mississippi sheriff on the scene. He writes a letter to the Arizona sheriff highly complimenting him for having killed the Negro, Brown, as he was mean and desperate, and had served a term in the Mississippi state prison. These facts are of sufficient condemnation of themselves and offer sufficient justification, if such be needed for his official taking off. But Southern official chivalry does not always stop with the snuffing out of a human life. The Mississippi sheriff was deeply interested in the case and greatly tickled over the killing, as Brown's mother was his (the sheriff's) "black mammy" in his childhood. Of course he loved and revered his "mammy" in true sob stuff style and would no doubt contribute in handsome volume to a statue to be erected to her memory. At least such an inference would be given to the world. It is high time that Negro organizations and publications come out in even more pronounced protest than has been noted in the past against any attempt at preservation of the white man's fool sentimentality and brazen hypocrisy. The "Negro Mammy" of ante-bellum days was truly an institution and the sweet lessons of her devotion and sacrifices amid sufferings may well serve as a basis of perpetuation in either poetry or song or history. But let the poetry or song or history tell of a growing spirit of justice and right for those borne into this world by the "Mammy" rather than of assumed superiority on the part of those who merely nestled at her breast. No towering monument can wipe out the hellishness southern lynchings, discriminations and criminality, all of which comes vividly to mind again when the advanced chivalry of the type shown by the Mississippi sheriff is brought to view. NEGRO BOY TO READ DECLARATION DURING BOSTON CELEBRATION Boston.For the first time in the long history of the custom of having a schoolboy read the Declaration of Independence from the balcony of the old State House as a part of the municipal Independence Day celebration a Negro youth has been chosen for this honor. Mayor Curley in announcing the appointment of Charles C. Dogan said that the boy was an honor pupil in the English High School. Boston.For the first time in the long history of the custom of having a schoolboy read the Declaration of Independence from the balcony of the "I Think the Immigration Laws of the Future Should Be Wholly American" By JAMES J. DAVIS, U. S. Secretary of Labor. IN IMMIGRATION I propose that we establish strict but just tests of physical and mental health, and that we make these tests under the numerical restriction now placed upon immigration. I would have those tests made abroad, in order that the applicant for admission may not have to spend the savings of a lifetime on a long sea voyage to find out whether he can enter the United States. All the sorrow and despair at Ellis island arise from the cases of those immigrants who come here despite the fact that the law prevents their admittance. If we halt those cases before they leave their native countries we will end the troubles at our ports of entry. This I call selective immigration. So long as the United States is to admit foreigners I would have our system function to bring us the best we can get from abroad and to make their entry into America easy and comfortable. Coupled with this I would have the immigrant enrolled upon his admission, and over a period of years I would provide for a census of the alien population by the naturalization bureau. We register every American citizen to ascertain his right to exercise the suffrage. Surely there can be no objection to the enrollment of the alien who comes to us to help him acquire the qualifications to be an American. If after a period of years the record of the individual showed plainly he was unfit for American citizenship I would provide for his deportation. I am not in favor of compelling an individual to become a citizen. Compulsory citizenship is impossible. I hold that whoever comes from abroad to degrade the American level of intelligence, of physical or mental or moral life, degrades every honest naturalized citizen. It is a shortsighted policy to seek cheap labor through immigration. Cheap labor is expensive labor, both for the industry which employs it and the community which houses it. I think the immigration laws of the future should be wholly American, drawn by Americans, enforced by Americans, for the benefit of America today and in the future. Extraordinary Popular Enthusiasm Behind Policy of Premier Mussolini By JULIUS H. BARNES, President U. S. Chamber of Commerce. We were all most impressed with Italy as the most promising country of those in the war. We found an extraordinary popular enthusiasm behind the policy of Premier Mussolini. He was unexpectedly outspoken in support of private initiative, and he especially commended the so-called system of capitalism. This will be granted an extraordinary statement when it is remembered that only two years ago the factories of Italy were in the hands of communistic workmen, and the statesman who made this declaration five years ago was the leading socialist editor of Italy. Such a change of front might arouse doubt as to sincerity, but after several discussions with him we concluded that it was a conviction based on experience and study, and, therefore, lasting. This man has extraordinary power to realize his policies in Italy. Already, without disturbance and with hardly any local criticism, he has reduced the personnel of the state railways by 40,000; he has turned the parcel post service away from the government postal service to a private express company, and negotiations are well along for taking the telephone system out of the hands of the state. Reform in the telephone and postal system is needed, for the business men in Rome, instead of trying to use the telephone, have a system of private messages. In industrial competition Italy suffers from lack of natural resources, but there are offsetting advantages in hydro-electric development and in the native capital of a people naturally industrious. "And It Is a Country Worth Living for, Fighting and Dying For" By COL. P. E. HOLP, Chicago Lecturer. Eight times America has gone to war under the Star-Spangled Banner, and not once have we taken an acre of ground or a dollar of money as a result of winning—that is the "American way." At the end of the World war nearly all the nations of Europe had to make new maps of their countries to take in the new territory they had acquired. After winning the war this country did not add a single acre to its area. When we wanted territory we purchased it. We didn't declare war on the country owning the property and take it as the spoils of conquest. Alaska, Florida, California, the Virgin islands, the entire Middle West, were all purchased and paid for by the United States. In Cuba's hour of need we sent our troops and our navy to her assistance, and then we withdrew and let Cuba remain an independent republic. In spite of all this, however, the foreign nations look upon us as an imperialistic nation, and we have been called the "Shylock of nations" by those who cannot understand our principles, our "American way." This country is not perfect, but it is the nearest perfect of all the nations on the face of the earth, and it is a country worth living for, fighting for and dying for. Let us all be 100 per cent Americans. Modern Girl Is Best Thing Woman Has Turned Out Since Evolution Began By MISS RACHEL COROTHERS, Author of "Nice People." The modern girl is 25 per cent more honest and decent than her mother, just as her mother was 25 per cent more honest and decent than the generation that preceded her. The important thing to direct your attention to now is the woman—not the girl. The woman is doing the same things she objects to the girl doing, and she is doing these things in a manner that has far more influence that the girl's actions. A slim young girl can do certain things and it is not so bad. Let a woman twenty years older and many pounds fatter do this same thing and it becomes infinitely more vulgar and harmful. Instead of asking yourselves what you are going to do about the younger generation, you might ask yourselves what the younger generation, as represented by the girl, thinks of you. Why put the responsibility on the girl, where it certainly does not belong? The modern girl is the best thing woman has turned out since evolution began. She is thinking for herself and refusing to follow the orthodox stuff that is handed out to her by the older generation. There is danger in shutting her out. C Consideration for the dead.

Curiously enough, one of the safest cargues is dynamite, which is amongst the most violent of all explosives.

THOMAS KERNEY PRICE HONOR GUEST AT NOTABLE FUNCTION SURPRISE DINNER PARTY AR- RANGED BY MRS. PRICE After having finished a three year course in the Westminster Law School, from which he graduated last week with the worthy degree of LL.B., Mr. Thomas Kerney Price, our only Race representative in the class of 1923, was tendered a high testimonial of esteem and regard by his charming wife on Monday night by a strictly formal dinner party at their beautiful home, 2114 Marlon. It was a stag dinner and arranged as a surprise for the new barrister. Atty. S. E. Cary was assigned the job of luring Mr. Price, his uncle, away from home at a convenient hour, during which time the following guests assembled, all attired in the conventional evening dress: Messrs. J. H. Mosely, L. H. Lightner, O. L. Lawson, W. E. Parks, S. E. Cary, C N. Pitt, Drs. C. F. Holmes, S. A. Huff, J. H. P. Westbrook, C. E. Terry, Mr. Geo. W. Gross. Beautiful and gorgeous decorations marked the dining room as the guests were seated at the table, adorned with cut flowers and candelabra. Atty. S. E. Cary presided at one end of the table and W. E. Parks at the other. Mr. Price was given a place in the center, as the guest of honor. The favors consisted of "mortar-board caps" made of sheepskin, and were of unique design. The menu was as follows: Grapefruit Broiled Spring Chicken—Peas—New Potatoes Select Asparagus Tips—Salad Parker House Rolls—Jelly—Coffee Strawberry Short Cake—Whipped Cream Mints—Nuts—Cigars—Cigarettes Following the dinner, during which there were many pleasantries and wittyisms, the gentlemen settled down to an evening of social card playing, when a second surprise party invaded the Price household, this one being neatly arranged by Mrs. Allene Cary. Feeling that Mrs. Price should share some of the honors showered upon her husband so generously, Mrs. Cary, whom Sam thought was home sound asleep, led the way with Messdames Mosely, Pitt, Parks, Lawson, Terry, Lightner, Gross, Holmes and Westbrook closely following. The men were completely captured and surrendered to the graceful charms of the fair ones. Music and dancing then took the place of cards, with ice cream and cake served at a late hour. It was in all essentials a most notable function and Mr. and Mrs. Price are due every word of the liberal praise extended by all present. ST.

Robinson, 2352 Humboldt Street Monday night the Guild of St. Katherine, a newly organized auxiliary of the Church of the Redeemer made its social entree into Denver's gay life and scored a complete triumph. About seventy-five guests took part in the affair and a more enjoyable party would be hard to find. Aside from covering themselves with glory in their initial effort, the guild ladies realized a neat sum of money that will go to the aid of the church. A huge cake made by Mrs. Grace Myers, a fact that alone spells excellence, was the prize most sought for and was won by Mrs. Imogene McCullough. The ladies are to be much complimented upon the successful manner in which their first entertainment was handled. ALPHA IOTA—ALPHA PSI ALPHA FRATERNITY COMMUNITY MEETING On Sunday evening, June 10, Alpha Psi Alpha paid tribute to the young Negro children, who are working hard to accomplish scholastic honors in High School and College.

In the forests of the Rockles the evergreens stand some distance apart so that their tops do not touch, says the "School Book of Forestry" of the American Tree association. As a result, these western forests do not shade the ground as well as those in the East. This causes the soils of these forests to be much drier, and also increases the danger from fire. --- IF YOU WANT INCEMENT of the REALTY AND MENT CO. the Public their Opening 1923, AT 1727 STOUT ST. 6 and 7 and up-to-date REAL ESTATE. or Chattels. ne if you have the lot.

Miss Mitford, the sedate author of "Our Village," would have been horrified at the very idea. Writing in 1814, she described the waltz as a "detestable dance," adding, "In addition to the obvious reasons which all women ought to have for disliking it, I cannot perceive its much vaunted graces." Their Time Regulated. Mab had visited a railroad town where a great number of people regulated their activities by the whistle blown at the roundhouse. On returning home she described it to her mother as follows: "They are whistled to work in the morning, they're whistled to their dinner, and they're whistled to stop in the afternoon." NASHVILLE TELEPHONE & TELEMOBILE CO. BELL SYSTEM NASHVILLE STATES TELE TEL 212 250,000 ACRES OPEN FOR ENTRY EX-SERVICE MEN ARE GIVEN PRIORITY TO OBTAIN CLAIMS HOMESTEADS RELEASED LARGE TRACTS OF LAND IN WESTERN STATES THROWN OPEN FOR FILING Washington, D. C.—Another quarter of a million acres of public lands were ordered thrown open for homestead entry to ex-service men of the World war by the Department of Interior a few days ago. The land represents large tracts in six western states, including Colorado, and was made available for disposition to ex-service men and to the general public through surveys just completed by the general land office. Exact dates for the filing of entries will be announced by the local land offices in the various states. The tracts in Colorado, Wyoming and Utah are described as follows. Colorado, approximately 33,000 acres in Montezuma county, near the town of Durango, described as mountainous and rolling, with fair growth of grass, under the jurisdiction of the local land offices of Glenwood Springs and Durango. Wyoming, approximately 59,000 acres in Carbon county, near the town of Savery, and in Hot Springs county, Thermopolis, under the Jurisdiction of the local land offices at Cheyenne and Buffalo, described as mountainous and rolling, with some timber and some growth of native grasses. Utah, approximately 44,000 acres in Emery county, near the town of Ferron, in Wayne county near Torrey, in Mallard county near Clear Lake in Kane county near Mountcarmel, under the jurisdiction of the local land office at Salt Lake City. These various tracts are described as mountainous and broken benches with scrub timber and undergrowth. Other tracts are in California, Montana and Idaho. In addition approximately 21,000 acres of land in Emery county, near the town of Woodside, in Utah, will be thrown open to entry after the state has made such selection from these tracts as cover public land grants made to it. Upon all these tracts the ex-service men of the world war will be given a 91-day preference to file homestead entries after which the remaining land mentioned will be thrown open to the general public. Chinese President Resigns Peking—Li Yuan-Sung telegraphed from Tientsin his resignation as president of China and turned over his authority to those members of the cabinet now in the capital.

Eruption of Vesuvius Continues Naples—The eruption of Mount Vesuvius continues intermittently, the volcano goes through short periods of rest followed by hours of violent activity. The same phenomenon is occurring at Stromboli. The high cone of that volcano, especially during the night, seems to be the center of a gigantic fireworks display. Similar activity is also taking place in Mount kta. Nine Killed Aboard Ship New York.—With her decks a veritable shambles, the little sailing vessel Mary Beatrice arrived here with the story of a terrible fight at sea in which nine men were killed and numerous others wounded. The bodies of the slain were dumped overboard at the height of the battle. Two of the dead were white men, two negroes and five Chinese. According to information in possession of the United States immigration authorities, twenty Chinese were being smuggled into New York for a fee of $500 apiece. "Mother"" $ ^{o} $ Collapses at Verdict Chicago.—Leona Freelicia, 5-year old cause of contention between two women, each claiming to be her right mother, was awarded by Superior Judge David to Mrs. Julia Prybylska. The other woman, Mrs. Violet Lenz, nearly collapsed when she heard the judge's decision. For four days both women have flatly made the same claim. Each swore that Leona was her natural daughter. Each had witnesses to sustain the claim. Bulgarian Peasants Seize Town Bulgarian Peasants Seize Town Bucharest.—The town of Spumla (a fortified Bulgarian town, fifty miles west of Varna) is reported in the hands of peasant guards, according to information which reached here. The Spumla district is said to have become the most important center of resistance to the new regime.

Dr, Hubert Work is now secretary of the Interlor in place of Albert B. Fall, resigned. That is a factor In the situation second to none in impor tance from the viewpoint of the national park en- thusiasts. The secretary of the Interior Is exot- ficlo Loss of the national park service, has the say- #0 with Director Mather and is subject only to the nod of the president and the fussing of con- gress, The National Parks association makes no bones of saying in point that it is glad of the change In secretaries, Secretary Pall was a good frlend of outdoor recreation, it says, but he un- dertook to change the national park polley Into one which would turn the system into an aggrega- tlon of lindreds of little camping grounds, “\Wher- ever I can find a pleasant place for local people to go and camp," he sald, “there I shall have a patlonal park.” Now, the late Franklin K.

He certainly has accomplished 2 lot in his elght years of service, Even in the most acrimont- ous debates in congress, somebody usually takes oc casion to pay bin a compliment, generally refer- ring to him us “the highest type of publie servant.” The Sixty-seyenth congress (March 4, 1921 to Mareh 8, 1923) was practically one continuous bat- tle ground. A victory for the national park forces with far-reaching results was that In the fight over the bill for the All-Year National park in and about the Mesenlero Indian reservation in New Mexico, Senator Bursum of New Mexico got it through the senate. In the house Secretary Fall got t referred to the Indian Affairs committee instead of the public lands committee and in person supported tt at the committee bearing. ‘The proposed area, ac cording to its opponents, was everything that a national park ought not to be; even New Mexico rose In revolt agalnst It, The bill died in commit- tee nnd fs snid to be too dead to be resuscitated, Another exceedingly {mportant victory was the, defeat of the bill of Senator Walsh of Montana for the damming of Yellowstone lake for commer- clal irrigation purposes. Senator Walsh circular- {zed congress and made speeches tn Montana for the bill, ‘The result was the election of a con- servation Montana congressman over a dam par- tisan afd the death of the bill In committee, ‘The battle over the Barbour bill for the Roose: velt-Nequoia National park (an enlarged Se. quofa) ended in a draw, with the national park forces holding the advantage.

There is so little rest! There is such an unreasoning passion for activity. And so we skim the surface of all things; we never look down into their depths and see the power of help and culture which they might contain—Phillips Brooks. Why is it that the housewives who have families of children who need nourishing, bodybuilding food are purposely in different or willfully ignorant? They will neither read nor ask advice about the proper feeding of a grow- building food are purposely in different or willfully ignorant? They will neither read nor ask advice about the proper feeding of a growing family, but eat just what appeals to the eye in the market, regardless of cost or nutritive value. The woman who feeds her family on four or five cucumbers at a cost of a dollar and a quarter at this season is giving them something they may like, but is absolutely without nourishment, unless served with a rich sauce. One quarter of the money put into a good piece of soup meat and cooked with vegetables would make a fine meal for six or eight. The pity of it is these women who need it most are the hardest to approach in teaching food values. Don't buy foods that have few calories, for it is calories we need to keep us mentally and physically strong. A calorie means a certain amount of energy. We eat a potato of 100-calorie value and it becomes a part of us, is burned up in the body and produces a certain amount of energy. Each person needs a certain amount; for some it may be 2,500 a day; others need 3,000. One can always judge the food value of any product by the number of calories it contains; that is, how much energy will it give you when eaten. Lettuce, a lovely head, or a beautiful green cucumber may be big and strong-looking, but has no nourishment; however, lettuce is valuable as it is rich in vitamins and should be served frequently because of them. Buying foods out of season unless for a dainty for an invalid, is very extravagant. It takes will power to pass by the tempting things in the market that look so attractive, but if we are wise we will buy the food that will furnish the most energy for the money. If you have a friend and you love him well, Let my advice on your friendship glimmer— Print all his faults in nonpareil But publish his virtues in big long primer. —Robert Burdette. CULINARY POINTS, ECONOMIES, HINTS Add a teaspoonful of sugar to the rinsing water to stiffen light organdles and lace collars and cuffs. WASHINGTON When cream refuses to whip add the white of an egg and chill, then whip together. When baking fish, if using a pan without a rack, lay two pieces of cheese cloth under the fish and long enough to hold when removing the fish to the platter. This will insure an unbroken fish. Chocolate sauce served with hot boiled rice is a combination well liked by chocolate lovers. Never use old rubbers when canning, as a rubber must be elastic and perfectly free from cracks to be entirely safe. When the fur neckpiece or collar needs cleaning brush it with cornmeal moistened with toilet water. The alcohol cleans and the fur is left with a pleasant odor. A frequent cleaning of the icebox, preferably on Friday, will insure the using up of food, and getting ready for the Sunday meals with less waste. If the oven door works badly, grease with a little lard. This is good for door hinges as well, though a drop of machine oil is better. To preserve the broom hang it or set it on the handle, broom up. If any liquid boils over in the oven, sprinkle with salt at once and there will be no odor. Perspiration stains will usually respond to soap and water and strong sunlight. One part fresh fruit and two parts of rhubarb cooked together and canned with sugar makes a most delightful preserve and one very reasonable in cost. The flavor of the fruit so predominates that the presence of the rhubarb is hard to detect. If necessary to iron an article in a short time after sprinkling, use hot water to sprinkle and roll up tightly in a dry towel. Place the bundle in a warm oven and by the time you are ready to iron it the garment will be evenly dampened. Green foods, though lacking in nourishment, should be served abundantly, especially the leafy vegetables such as spinach, dandelion greens, watercress and the like. Most of these may be bead for the work of gathering, so that there is no excuse for the lack of Housekeeper Must Know What Is Essential and Buy Only Enough for Family. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) "Waste not, want not" is as good a maxim today as when our great-grandfathers wrote it in the copybooks. By careful purchase and use of food, savings are effected for the housekeeper which can be applied advantageously to other departments of living, such as having more conveniences, more attractive clothes, more recreation, or longer education. At the same time, the producers of foods—the farmer and his wife—are helped by intelligent purchasing because it involves a greater variety of products, the choice of locally grown, easily transportable foods, vegetables and fruits in season, and the abandoning of food prejudices. The United States Department of Agriculture suggests a number of economies in the management of the family food, most of which were willingly practiced during the World war, but gradually neglected as times have become more prosperous. To make the income go as far as possible, the housekeeper must know what constitutes proper food for the family, and A woman carrying a basket of fruit. Saving Made by Careful Purchase and Use of Food. buy only enough for the household needs. Farmers' Bulletin 808, "How to Select Foods. I. What the Body Needs," will help her determine these needs. When strict economy is necessary she can learn from this bulletin how to choose the less expensive from each of the various groups of foods that together provide adequate nourishment. These less expensive foods are often the common every-day products which constitute the farmer's main crop; a steady demand for them stabilizes the farmer's market and benefits everybody. One way to avoid wasteful purchasing is to know how much of each kind of food—butter, sugar, flour, coffee, vegetables, cereals, etc., is needed each week. By shopping only once or twice a week and giving larger orders a great deal of time is saved and one may often take advantage of better prices. Comparison of prices, values, and quality in different stores is an advantage when it is possible. Products in season are likely to be cheaper than out of season delicacies. Buying by weight is now required for most fruits and vegetables; when staples come in cartons the customer should estimate the cost of the goods by the pound. After food enters the kitchen it is literally throwing money away to allow any of it to be wasted. Burnt food, spoiled food and a full garbage pail are all evidences of thriftless housekeeping. Unless one plans in advance how to use up the extra material, it is of course, better to buy closely and avoid left-overs. When left-over food is on hand some use should be found for it which does not involve much additional material, much time for preparation, or extra fuel for cooking. If the size of each portion served is adapted to the person for whom it is intended, children can more easily be taught the "gospel of the clean plate." It is no longer considered a mark of good manners to leave a little bit of uneaten food on the plate. Any way of cooking which retains in the food the largest proportion of nutritive substances is a good method. Meats cooked en casserole, in their own gravy or in a fireless cooker accomplish this aim. If white and sweet potatoes are boiled in their skins they can be easily peeled after cooking and not so much of the valuable mineral matters cook out into the water. Spinach, greens, asparagus, squash, cooked cucumbers and other succulent vegetables are better steamed than boiled. The water in which suitably seasoned vegetables have been cooked can frequently be utilized for soups. Water drained from potatoes or rice thickens soup or gravy or is good in bread-making. SENDING MOTHER TO CAMP FOR VACATION Experience of Tennessee Extension Agent in Attracting Women to Summer Club. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) of Agriculture.) The devoted mother who said, "I haven't missed cooking a meal since I was married, so I just don't guess I could come," was exactly the kind of woman the extension agent for women and girls in Wilson county, Tenn., wanted to attract to a three-day women's summer club camp last season. Knowing how much good even a brief change would do each of her club members, this extension agent began to "sell" the idea of a women's camp months before it was time to hold it. Considerable argument was needed to convince most of the mothers and housekeepers that they could be spared from home at all. Working with the daughters first, the agent began stressing the thought. "Mother needs a rest," among her club girls. The girls, of course, knew that if they could persuade their mothers to go to the camp they themselves would have a very much better chance of being allowed to attend the girls' camp, which came later. For over two months the agent talked about the "camp for women" at every club meeting and wherever she went. The use of a suitable house with a beautiful, five-acre, level, shaded lawn was obtained. This home was situated eight miles from the county seat and a quarter of a mile from a railway station. At the time the camp was held there was no living room in the house. A commercial light company wired the lawn, so that it was well lighted every night. About a week before the date decided on for the camp, a letter was sent to every club member in the county, urging her to come. A list stating what it would be necessary to bring was put in the letter, and a program for each hour of the three days at camp. It was felt at this time that the camp would be a success if 25 women came. Over a hundred registered the first day. By rail and by automobile they came, bringing their own food for the picnic dinner and supper, and part of the other food needed. Other club members came later. A report of the way in which camp was run, received by the United States Department of Agriculture, may give women elsewhere ideas on managing a similar "Vacation for Mother." Each woman registering contributed 25 cents toward the expenses of the camp. The fund thus obtained furnished a hired cook for the second and third days. A representative from each club helped serve at meal time. All the meals except breakfast were served on the lawn. Breakfast, on the large kitchen porch, consisted of toast, butter, eggs, bacon, fruit, preserves and coffee. For dinner the campers had beans, boiled meat, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, vegetables, salad, light bread, corn bread, cake, and ice tea. Corn on the cob, French fried potatoes, vegetable salad, bread and butter and fried chicken were served for supper. The women were so afraid there would not be enough to eat they brought extra chickens, which were used at supper time. The work of cleaning the house and preparing vegetables for dinner was shared by the club members. Then came a social hour until the day's program began. Talks were given by the state home demonstration agent, the state health specialist, the farm bureau president and the county agent. The rest and play periods were enjoyed by everyone. "It seemed as if all these women were girls again," said the county extension agent. Club singing created great enthusiasm; also a butter-judging contest. Moving pictures and an illustrated lecture helped pass the time pleasantly during the evenings. When the three days were over, the women left with unconcealed regret, voting to make the camp an annual affair. As one woman expressed it, "I feel like I just love every other woman just a little bit better because I know her better." The chance to become better acquainted with so many county neighbors was a real joy to every woman attending. One of the accomplishments of the camp was the organization of the County Federation of Women's Clubs, which means that the women all over Wilson county will come into closer contact with each other than ever before.

SEASONABLE IDEAS While fresh rhubarb is abundant let us put up some conserves with rhubarb as a filler with strawberries, pineapple or raspberries; in fact any desired fruit may be used. ```markdown ``` One part fresh fruit and two parts of rhubarb cooked together and canned with sugar makes a most delightful preserve and one very reasonable in cost. The flavor of the fruit so predominates that the presence of the rhubarb is hard to detect. Gem Cakes.—Beat two eggs, separating the whites and yolks; to the yolks add one cupful of sugar; when dissolved add one cupful of rich sour cream, to which has been added one-half teaspoonful of soda. Stir in two and one-half cupfuls of pastry flour, or if ordinary flour is used, two cupfuls, lacking one even tablespoonful and adding one tablespoonful of cornstarch. Fold in the whites of the eggs and drop into well-greased gem pans, sprinkle with sugar, drop a raisin on each and bake in a moderate oven. Marshmallow Chocolate. — Dissolve one-half cupful of sugar in one-forth of a cupful of water and let it boil five minutes; melt four squares of chocolate over hot water and pour the stirup into it, stirring all the time. Scald the milk, combine the two mixtures, place in a double boiler and stir, boiling several minutes. Cut marshmallows (one dozen) in small dice and drop into the chocolate while hot. Set aside until cool, then beat briskly and pack in ice until thoroughly chilled. Serve in glasses with a spoonful of whipped cream on top of each. Spaghetti Dinner Dish—Take $1\frac{1}{2}$ cupfuls of spaghetti, break it in inch pieces, before measuring, then cook in two quarts of boiling water well salted, until tender, drain and rinse in cold water.

STYLES IN SPORTS HATS; SINCE styles for the street have been so much toned up by those for sports wear it is becoming difficult to distinguish between sports and street hats. But sports hats have a suggestion, at least, of youthfulness and their style is definitely informal—these are the qualities that have caused them to exert such an influence in the tailored mode. The light-colored felts now flourishing in fashion's smile are trimmed with clever feather ornaments or narrow ribbons made up into set rosettes. Cer- J THE HAT J DIVERSITY SHOWN IN SPORTS HATS tufb dashing models have long quills or brilliant flat birds simulated in smart, soft, varicolored feathers. Handmade decorations and fine combinations of light color distinguish the most elaborate sports hrts, while the simplest are trimmed with a scarf or kerchief or with a single ornament. The group of hats pictured is representative of the mode. It begins with a model in which chenille is woven into a favored shape and trimmed with a chow of ribbon. Below, at the right, a sand-colored felt shows the crown 1 8 1 swathed with a brilliant kerchief. The fabric hat at the left has a crown made in sections and an ornament fashioned from the material in the hat. A hat of satin finishes the group. It is composed of irregular pieces in contrasting colors and it stitched to simulate quilting. The business of assembling summer clothes for the youngest members of the family begins long before spring is anything but a promise. Mothers like to have this task out of the way before summer comes and merchants see to it that spring fabrics and modes are displayed the first of January so that the work can be under way early to make as pretty a pa can one could wish.

When the sturdy, playproof, everyday outfits that are to stand much wear and tear are finished, comes the preparation of daintier things for more or less dress-up times—as birthday parties and other high occasions in little folks' lives. The shops are entitled to point with pride to their collections of midsummer finery for the smallest boys and girls. For the little girls there are gay party frocks of colored organdle, swiss, volle and taffeta, as well as lovely white ones, and for small boys there are T linen, pongee and even satin trousers and waists of fine batiste or of silk fabrics. Of course there is much greater diversity in frocks for girls than one expects to find in boys' suits—the female of the species begins very young to find life spliced up with a considerable variety in her clothes, therefore, when she is indulged in two or three dress-up frocks they are sure to include color as well as white. The dress of white organdie illustrated employs fine tucks, narrow valence and small sprays of embroidery 8 to make as pretty a party frock as any one could wish. It hangs straight and has a plain panel down the front. Narrow white ribbon in two bands at each side is fastened to the frock with tiny enticing flowers of chiffon. White linen for the pants and crepe de chine for the waist tell the story of the little boy's party splendor. Pearl buttons, fine in quality, join the two garments and three small ones on the waist must not be overlooked. Julia Bottomley (1922.
