Great Throng at Auditorium Praise President's Law Enforcement Address Reception Committee, Consisting Prominent White and Colored Citizens, Offer Hearty Welcome to Presidential Party VOL. XXIX. Welcome Thrice Welcome! President and Mrs. Harding Denver Pays President and Mrs. Entire Commun Praise Presid Reception Committee, Consi THE PEOPLE of Denver again demonstrated their ability to honor, respect and appreciate the head of our American nation, other officials and distinguished citizens of the great commonwealth, when they in real Western fashion greeted President and Mrs. Warren G. Harding and party, and entertained them for nearly a day and a half last Sunday and Monday. From the time of their arrival to their departure the atmosphere of the Queen City of the West seemed surcharged with loyalty to our government, devotion to its principles, obedience to its laws, and a spirit of true citizenship—all these contributing to the peace and harmony indicative of the people of the West, which not only visibly affected our SPECIAL GUESTS, but brought forth words of cheer and expressions of encouragement from them for the efforts and gigantic tasks undertaken by the people of Colorado for the construction of permanent enterprises and stable industries, resulting in the development of the once termed "unknown country" of the United States. President Harding's presence among us quickens our patriotism and stirs us to a deeper sense of our responsibility in helping towards the preservation of our nation, as well as a realization of that genuine citizenship which shapes into one family people of different climes, races and tongues, and so we join with the expressions of the governor of the state of Colorado and mayor of the city of Denver in extending a right hearty welcome to our President, the first lady of the land and their party, wishing for them a longer life of usefulness to the nation, a career fraught with much success, a very pleasant trip and safe return to the capital city and seat of government. Great Ovation to President and Mrs. Harding With a profusion of American flags and buntings from the union station, along the business section, adorning every business house and office building, Denver presented an aspect long to be remembered by its citizens, as the decorations displayed on these two days—Sunday and Monday, June 24-25—marked the splendid spirit and good feeling prevailing among the people in honoring the man whom they had chosen not quite three years ago to lead the nation and to restore it to normalcy. The union station was transformed into a mass of national colors. The Welcome Arch had a different appearance, being covered with flags which made it an arch of colors. The American flag flew from many residences, especially those along the routes traversed by the President's party. The Brown Palace hotel was specially decorated, and everything pertaining to comfort was installed in the suite of rooms on the eighth floor, prepared for the chief executive of DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1923. the nation and the first lady of the land. In paying further honors to the President, offices of the state house were closed for a portion of the day Monday, and a proclamation issued by the mayor caused all city and county offices to be closed from 10 a. m. to 2 p. m. The main postoffice and substations were closed for a few hours, while the District Court declared a holiday and merchants, bankers and corporation heads gave permission to their staff of employees to vacate their counters, desks, etc., for a few hours to give a hearty greeting to the nation's chief and to prove the spirit of the West. President's Arrival At 9:58 a. m. Sunday, June 24, the special train bearing President and Mrs. Harding, accompanied by a number of notables and newspapermen, arrived at the union depot, where a committee, composed of Governor Sweet, Mayor Stapleton, U. S. Senators Phipps and Adams and the Hon. Thomas B. Stearns, chairman of the executive committee in charge of the President's visit, met and greeted them amidst the cheer and applause of thousands of persons eager to catch the first glimpse of the President and to bid him WELCOME. In accordance with the President's wish there was no public reception at the depot, as he planned to worship at the First Baptist Church that morn- ing, and intended a rest for Mrs. Harding afterwards. The presidential party then drove to the Brown Palace hotel, proceeding to church after a short rest, where a large crowd assembled to again greet them and to join in divine worship. From church the President and Mrs. Harding, accompanied by Senator and Mrs. Phipps, motored to the residence of the senator, where luncheon was served and where another crowd assembled across the street and so persistent in cheering, that the President and his wife re-appeared on the front porch and waved their acknowledgment. The remaining portion of the day was spent in a visit to the Fitzsimons hospital, where President and Mrs. Harding entered the wards, shook hands and cheered invalid soldiers, Mrs. Harding presenting the patients with carnations. Returning to the hotel, President Harding received a committee congratulating him for his executive clemency which brought about the release of political prisoners. Automobile Parade and Mass Meeting Auditorium The President rose early, it is said to again witness the beauty of a Colorado morning, and to view Nature in her glorious garb and handiwork, as the golden rays of the great orb of light, reflecting from the mountain tops and snowcapped peaks in the distance seem to throw a halo around the city of Denver, guaranteeing an enjoyment and a particular entertainment for the man—our leader—the people's chieftain whom we delight to see, honor or and refresh our minds with such truth and wisdom eminating from his heart, as will maintain the principles of our nation and reinforce the foundation stones of PURITY, JUSTICE and righteous dealing to each and all of its citizens. This day, Monday, June 25, was ideal and one for the automobile parade, starting at 10:30 o'clock through the residential and business sections of the city, traversing the parks, with a stop here and there and a halt at the capitol grounds, where the President and Mrs. Harding received greetings from a large body of school children. All along the route were loud cheers and applause which echoed and re-echoed from the surrounding buildings as the shouts rend the air, especially in the business district, and caused a profound impression to be made upon the President and his party. The parade ended at the City Auditorium, which was packed to its utmost, many persons standing by the walls, an estimated crowd of over 12,000, with thousands on the outside who were privileged to hear every word of the President's address transmitted by the GREAT AMPLIFIER erected outside the building on Champa street, and which conveyed distinctly for blocks around the President's address on LAW ENFORCEMENT. At 12 o'clock sharp the President and Mrs. Harding, accompanied by Senator Phipps, who was chairman of the great mass meeting; Governor Sweet, Mayor Stepleton and other members of the presidential party, ascended the rostrum amidst great applause, and after the playing of the Star Spangled Banner by the great organ and shriner's band, with invocation by Dean Duncan H. Browne of St. John's Episcopal Cathedral, followed by the singing of America, with short addresses of welcome by the governor and the mayor, Senator Phipps introduced the President, who was received with long and loud cheers, the audience rising to its feet. The address was a masterpiece, in which President Harding emphasized FAMOUS AFRICAN EDUCATOR RETURNS TO THIS COUNTRY Reverend John H. Reed, D.D., Here After Educational Service in Liberia THE Reverend John Hamilton Reed, D.D., formerly Assistant Consul General for the United States in Liberia, and for ten years President of the College of West Africa, Monrovia, returned with Mrs. Reed to this country after a residence of eighteen years in the Negro Republic. Dr. and Mrs. Reed went to Liberia in 1905 as missionaries under the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church and have continued their service in this capacity throughout their sojourn there. At different times Dr. Reed served as District Superintendent of the Monrovia District, Editor of the Liberian Methodist, the mission publication, President of the College of West Africa, Vice Consul General for the United States, and has been ministerial delegate to the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, meeting in this country every four years. Dr. Reed represented Liberian Methodists in 1912, 1916 and 1920. In his educational work in Liberia, Mrs. Reed assisted him by caring for the education of female students and the general promotion of female education in the republic. The tribes of native folk in the hinterland of Liberia are exceptionally fine types both physically and mentally, according to Dr. Reed, who has lived among them. The Mandingo and Val people of the interior are magnificent types of manhood and womanhood, and need only occidental education to bring them to a high level of civilization. The Vals have had an alphabet and written language of their own since before the coming of Arab or white man. They are mostly Mohammedans. The Kru tribes on the coast south of Monrovia are also fine specimens and are the most earnest seekers after education of any group, owing to the long efforts of the Reverend Walter B. Williams, Liberia's "Little Giant," who has built a large community of Christians there. There are more Kru students in the schools of the country than of any other tribe. The Grego tribe above Cape Palmas are the most progressive and aggres- the obedience to law, its enforcement and the integrity of the American people in upholding the constitution of the country. The citizens of Denver and Colorado heartily approve, and THE COLORADO STATESMAN also endorses the chief executive's demand for law enforcement. The presidential party left at 1:30 p. m. Monday aboard their special for Cheyenne with a "GOOD BYE! GOD BLESS YOU! COME AGAIN!" from the people of Denver and Colorado. The reception committee, consisting of prominent white and colored citizens, performed their part with entire satisfaction and deserve the highest commendation. They participated in the parade and other functions attendant with the presidential visit. Much praise was offered by the President for the police in the successful carrying out of their part of the program. The President and Mrs. Harding freely expressed themselves on the delightful visit with the people of Denver and Colorado. NO.37 sive people of any group in Liberia, according to Dr. Reed. It was from this tribe that Miss Diana McNeil sprung. Miss McNeil was adopted by a Methodist missionary to Liberia twenty-five years ago. Bishop William Taylor, the famous missionary bishop of the denomination, brought her to this country at the age of four and presented her to the General Conference of 1896, declaring "There are no heathen children save by environment and circumstance," a saying now a classic in missionary circles the world over. Miss McNeil became a prodigy in this country, attending high school in St. Louis and Kansas City, later graduating with highest honors from the University of Southern California. She joined the faculty of Philander Smith College, Arkansas, and went back to Liberia as a member of the faculty of the College of West Africa. But the climate of her native land was too much for her health, and she returned to this country, where she is still prominent in educational circles. The Reverend Dr. Reed expects to retire from active educational work and will enter the pastorate in some section where Methodism is exerting itself for the welfare of the Negro race. Cheyenne, Wyo.

MARTIAL LAW WE HAD never hoped to see the near approach of the millennium in our day and even now, our enthusiasm may be more the result of a strange delusion rather than the vision of an actuality in the offing. But all and sundry persons must admit that startling and unlooked for things are rapidly coming to pass these days. Last week it was Georgia and now it's Oklahoma. Mob violence and lynching seems to have fallen upon evil days even in the realm of its time tried and fire tested friends and it would not be at all surprising to next hear of Texas or Florida or the Carolina's catching step to the tune of a music somewhat new but necessary. A sheriff in Georgia prevented the lynching of a Negro at the expense of the life of one of the would-be lynchers. Now comes the Governor of Oklahoma who has found mob law so abhorrent during his short tenure of office that he threatens to place the whole state under martial law for the remaining three years of his term unless mob lawlessness ceases at once. The Oklahoma mob like all other mobs had reached the place where it found ready victims in the white race and even descended to the level of whipping children. Like its operations against the black brother in years past, and not so long ago either, a motive was not always needed to start the mob on its way. Oklahoma mobs were of the mood that somebody had to be whipped just as it has followed its other bent that somebody had to be lynched. In overstepping the color line the mistake was fatal. The Governor came forth in his majesty and power. The whole state is to be placed under martial law for three years. Certainly good news and if a few more states will only follow the lead of Georgia and Oklahoma many of the ills that now afflict us will have faded out in blank obscurity. And in such event will we not be just a little nearer the much sought for but mythical millennium? CELEBRATING AN EVENT OF MOMENT JULY Fourth will always prove an event in the life of this nation of sufficient historical attachment as to keep us safely to the moorings of the spirit of '76, without which this republic could not and should not endure. It is not possible at this distance to look back upon the dauntless spirit that prompted the determinative elements of national independence, without pre-supposing the existence in larger quantities, the elements of individual independence. Of this spirit American citizens are born and reared, and from this spirit is kept alive a patriotism that bespeaks our national progress as well as our military glory and heroism. Our achievements on land and sea stand out the more brilliantly because of that inborn spirit of valor that characterizes the true hearted American citizen. The President of these United States is on a speech making tour that is attracting more attention than the usual junketing trips of our national leaders. Some one may ask Why? It is because, not only our President but far sighted statesmen and diplomats are preaching the doctrine of clinging to the spirit of '76, the hopes and sacrifices of our Fathers. In a sense, these are revolutionary days, the Fourth of July, 1923 will find the country still in a maelstrom of unrest and turmoil. The great world war that was supposed to have ended nearly five years ago is not as ended so much in fact as in theory. Perhaps the fact that we are still jealous of our national honor and cannot look with any degree of complacency upon entangling alliances with foreign countries, in keeping with the spirit and letter of Washington's farewell address, may be the very elements that steers us clear of the shoals of bolshevism and anarchy that is just now rocking the governmental foundations of continental Europe. The great America Eagle is presumed to scream on July Fourth as at no other time during the year. America for Americans, first, last and all the time, of every shade and hue, of whatever religion or race, would be no bad rallying shriek to emanate from the beak of the old bird on July Fourth, thus truly celebrating an event in our national history, wherein our liberties were born and our independence assured. PRESIDENT HARDING ON LAW ENFORCEMENT IT WAS really our good fortune to be present at the City Auditorium last Monday to hear the address of the President on "Law Enforcement," and being among the 12,000 persons who heard distinctly every word, sentence and emphatic expression that fell like a magic wand on the vast assembly within the building, we could not help from feeling the magnetic touch that overpowered his auditors, when the President's speech brought loud approval from the huge crowd as they applauded again in his demand for Law Enforcement. After an unmistakable denouncement of state governments in their attempt to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment—the Prohibition Amendment to the Constitution, the President among other things and in all earnestness said "The prohibition amendment to the Constitution is the basic law of the land. The Volstead Act has been passed, providing a code of enforcement. I am convinced that they are a small and a greatly mistaken minority who believe the Eighteenth Amendment will be repealed. Details of enforcement policy will be changed as experience dictates. Further, I am convinced that whatever changes may be made will represent the sincere purpose of effective enforcement, rather than moderation of the general policy." With the foregoing we heartily concur, as no member of any city or state who appreciates the land of freedom, designated the "Universal Melting Pot," could feel secure with the dispensing of the law to the convenience of a certain few in spite of an overwhelming majority declaration. We are also convinced that the Volstead Act is here to stay, and because we represent that law abiding element of citizens, ready to support the government to a strict maintenance and observance of the laws of this country, we cannot but feel the assured safety of the nation in the hands of President Harding, whose determination is to foil any attempt to place fetters upon the minds of the majority of the people—the result of the subtle and baneful influence of the few. The President in making reference to the subordination of "personal liberty" to respect for the law and the nation argued that he did not see how any citizen who cherishes the protection of law in organized society may feel himself secure when he himself is the example of contempt for law. He further stated that our republic must be law-abiding, with reverence and obedience springing from the influential and leaders among men as well as obedience from the humbler citizen. Failing this the temple will collapse. This grips us in the very recesses of our heart, for while we are fully awakened to the obedience to law, we are also cognizant of THE CITIZENS RIGHT—inalienable right under the law, which makes him a fall fledged, warranted member of the nation, but compels his respect to law and order. We are with the President again on this point, and we can begin to take heart that another fearless American leads the way to real liberty of the people, and we may earnestly look forward to the carrying out of obedience of all our constitution even the FOURTEENTH and FIFTEENTH AMENDMENTS which are not fully dispensed to all the people. THE COLORADO STATESMAN desires to see all the laws of this country carried out by State and Federal Government, and be dispensed to high and low, rich and poor, yea, to all the people at all times and under all circumstances. By IRVIN COBB, in Motor. AM constrained to believe from my own knowledge gained at the front and behind the lines of the soldiers of warring Europe, that had it been possible prior to 1914 for all the peoples of the Continent to possess the same abundance of cheap-priced cars which the run of human beings in this country can have, and had there been no artificial barriers at the national boundaries to keep neighbor from seeing neighbor, not even Prussian militarism could have driven all the eastern part of the world into a dreadful struggle. The fact is that when you get to know a man and his surroundings—and you do know them better when you are riding in a car along a high-road than you ever can from a railroad train—you find out that the general run of human beings in one land is very much like the general run of human beings in almost any other. Along with the prayer for everlasting peace which is going up from nearly every fireside where real Americans sit, is the prayer for a return to normal conditions in this country, for a curing of the evils which the last war loosed upon us industrially, socially, economically and financially. That is a good prayer and we should pray also for a thing that is spiritual, perhaps, but which has its material side as well, because out of it will grow material good. We should pray—every one of us—for a greater charity toward our fellow man, for a kindlier impulse for his shortcomings, and for a broader, wider understanding of him and his likes and dislikes. Investment in Airplanes Abundantly Justified as Business Proposition By BERTRAND RUSSELL, in the Freeman. I think that the British and the Americans are apt to underestimate the influence of armies and navies. Take for instance the position at present of France, Germany and England in relation to one another. France, by military force alone, has seized the Ruhr coal field; the Germans cannot resist because they are disarmed. Great Britain dislikes this policy, and also dislikes the repudiation by the French of their debt to the British. If the British possessed the necessary armaments, they would collect their debt from France by the same methods which the French are using against the Germans, or by a threat of these methods (if that proved sufficient). The British do not do so because they are afraid of French airplanes. Thus the French, by means of armament alone, have been enabled (a) to avoid paying their share of the cost of the great war; (b) to seize the bulk of Germany's industrial resources. It would seem, therefore, that the investing of money in airplanes was abundantly justified as a business proposition. "The Worst, but Only One of Many Discriminations Against Middle West" Abolish Pittsburgh plus. Stop federal aid funds. Build St. Lawrence waterway. Elect midwestern man speaker of house, midwestern representation on federal reserve board (credits), and on interstate commerce commission (rates). Save the interurban lines. Regulate the railroads without destroying them. "Pittsburgh plus" means Chicago minus. You can buy steel made in South Chicago, haul it in your own truck to your factory or farm, and on this steel made in Illinois you have to pay the freight from Pittsburgh. It is the worst but only one of the many discriminations against the Middle West. We need a Middle West consciousness and solidarity, an aroused and organized public opinion to advance a Mid-West program for justice to our people in the matter of the making of tariffs, the levying of taxes, the spending of public funds, and the regulating of freight rates. All federal aid funds are expensive for the Middle West. We get back only a small part of the money we contribute. Pittsburgh plus cost our part of the country more than $30,000,000 last year for fictitious freight rates on steel manufactured in the Chicago district. More Than Ever Today Youth Detests Selfishness, Injustice and War By DR. W. E. GARDNER, Secretary, etc., Episcopal Church. Youth is searching for the power that Christianity has always had, the power that can be applied every day. More than ever today youth detests selfishness, injustice and war of every kind. The young do not think so much about the wrong and evil in these things as we do; they think they are foolish and unnecessary curses. The youth of the world today are hunting for truth more than they were twenty years ago, and they are interested in nonmaterial objectives of life because world events compel them to that kind of an interest. Most of the inhabited parts of the world are explored. The adventures of life are no longer in discovering countries. The adventures of the future, youth knows, are in the realm of ideas. Every boy and every girl with ambition knows that success depends more on morals and mind than on muscle. Everywhere boys and girls are looking for spiritual power. They may call it by different names, but they seek spiritual power. They will find the power they need in religion where mankind has found it throughout the ages. The Coward May Be Merely a Person With Small "Glands of Combat" By DR. ADOLPH LORENZ, Famous Surgeon. We are hearing much nowadays about adrenalin. The quality that makes some men ready for a fight or a fricie is due to the "glands of combat," the adrenals. Once thought to be merely little lumps of fat, they were later found to take a very important part in the play of life forces. The active principle, or hormone, of this gland is adrenalin. It is thrown into your blood in a steady stream when the sensation of fear comes. Nature thus makes an effort to flood your body with the chemical basis of courage. The coward, then, may be merely a person deficient in a reserve stock of this valuable substance of which valor is made. We know certain men who are always ready to fling themselves into a slugging match, even before the chip is knocked off their shoulders.

The White Elephant Baseball team goes to Louisville Sunday to cross bats with the crack team of that thriving mining town.

C. M. E. CONFERENCE TO OPEN HERE NEXT TUESDAY MORNING Bishops N. C. Cleaves of St. Louis, Mo. and Arthur Hamlett of Jackson, Tennessee, to Be Present and Address the Conference on Vital Subjects. The local constituency of the C. M. E. Church is making preparation to entertain the delegation which has already begun to arrive, to attend the District Conference, Woman's Missionary and Sunday School conventions which will be held in this city, beginning next Tuesday morning. The sessions of the conference and conventions will be held in the People's Presbyterian Church, corner of Washington street and Twenty-third avenue, where the local congregation is occupying temporary quarters. Much interest is attached to the conference because of the distinguished churchmen who will be in attendance. For the first time in the history of Denver, there will appear representatives of the C. M. E. Church for the purpose of firmly establishing the C. M. E. Church in the "Queen City of the Plains," and sometimes called "The Mile-High City" by others. There have been C. M. E. bishops to visit Denver in times past, but their mission was one altogether different to the mission of the two bishops who will be in attendance at this conference. Bishop Isaac Lane, one of the early fathers of the C. M. E. Church, and Bishop Charles H. Phillips, visited Denver several years ago. But this conference brings two of the most distinguished churchmen of the race: Bishop N. C. Cleaves, D.D., LL.D., presiding bishop of this diocese, and Bishop J. Arthur Hamlett, A.M., D.D., presiding bishop of Arkansas and Oklahoma. FUNERAL NOTICE The People's Mortuary Harris-William, departed this life June 21, 1923, at a local hospital.

Browne of St. John's cathedral in opening the mass meeting at which President Harding spoke at the Auditorium Monday noon: Almighty God, who in the former time didst lead our fathers forth into a wealthy place, and set their feet in a large room; give Thy grace, we humbly beseech Thee, to us, their children, that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will. Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning and pure manners. Defend our liberties; preserve our unity; save us from lawlessness and violence, from discord and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Fashion into one happy family the multitude brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endow with the spirit of wisdom those whom we entrust in Thy name with the authority of government to the end that there may be good government at home and peace with all the world. In the time of prosperity fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble suffer not our trust in Thee to fail. All which we ask for Jesus Christ's sake. O Lord, our governor, whose glory is in all the world; we commend this nation to Try merciful care, that being guided by Thy providence, we may dwell secure in Thy peace. Grant to the president of the United States wisdom and strength to know and to do Thy will. Fill him with the love of truth and righteousness; and make him ever mindful of his calling to serve this people with Thy fear; thru Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.

A. A. C. P. PROTESTS KLAN MEETING THE Denver Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People showed its true mettle last Wednesday morning when it lodged a strong protest with Mayor Stapleton and Commissioner of Safety Rice W. Means against a scheduled meeting of the Ku Klux Klan at the City Auditorium, Wednesday night. By thus joining with the Catholic and Jewish organizations, such a strong feeling was aroused that Commissioner Means called the meeting off. Regarding the N. A. A. C. P. as a militant body the St. Paul and Minneapolis Northwestern Bulletin says: "The N. A. A. C. P. has played a wonderful part in every capacity for the betterment of the Negro.

HOW TO GET RESULTS IN BUYING PATTERN Te RO The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West A FELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspiration. ——_ THE | WE Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and _ women. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many Useful Suggestions Offered by Department of Agriculture to Club Members, (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The United States Department of Agriculture offers to members of its various clothing clubs the following suggestions on using commercial pat- terns: In buying a pattern, be sure that Its size ig right. Patterns may be bought by age or by measure. For a girl of normal size for her years, buy @ pattern by age; for an adult or a girl who may vary from the size, take the necessary measures and buy a pat- tern that corresponds to them, Watst patterns are numbered according to bust measure; skirt patterns are num- bered by both hip and waist measure. It is better to buy a skirt pattern of the correct hip size, as it Is easier to make slight changes in it around the waist than to alter it on the nips. Before opening the pattern, read the directions carefully and thoroughly. Open the pattern and study the sep- arate pieces. A guide chart Is usually printed on the envelope, and will show you the purpose of the various pieces. Put back into the envelope any pieces which are not to be used at once. ‘To lengthen a pattern for a waist or skirt, cut straight across each of the pleces that are too short, having the cuts exactly perpendicular to the Ine of dots which marks the length- awise line of the goods. Insert a piece of paper as wide as you wish the pat- tern to be made longer; or, when cut- ting out the garment, lay the two cut parts of the pattern on the goods so that they are separated by a distance equal to the desired increase in length. When lengthening a skirt pattern, the pieces should be slashed about two- thirds of the distance from the top. In a waist make the cut about three Inches above the waistline. In elther case, make sure that the insert is the same width throughout. To increase the width of a plece slash it lengthwise and separate the pieces in the same way as in lengthening. ‘Another way of making a garment longer or broader than the pattern ts to pin a plait evenly In the goods, lay the pattern over it, and cut. To short- en a pattern or make it smaller, take a plait in {t in the same position as suggested for the slashes. Spread the material out on a flat surface and arrange every piece of the pattern on It before beginning to cut. As many of the pieces are to be cut tn duplicate, one can often fold the material, lay the pattern on it, and cut out the two pleces at once. In cut- ting the back of a waist or the front gore (and sometimes the back gore) of a skirt, fold the material lengthwise, lay the straight edge of the pattern along the fold, and cut around the pat- | tern except on thls straight edge. | Pieces to be cut in this way on a lengthwise fold are marked on the pat- tern with crosses, or in some other manner, Sometimes the gulde chart indicates how to afrange the pattern on the goods so that there will be no unneces- sary waste in cutting. In any case, lay the pattern on so that the pieces come close together and the waste is | as slight as possible. Be very care- ful that the lengthwise perforations of the pattern are upon the warp (length- wise) thread of the goods. Stripes or figures must run exactly up and down in the finished garment. Pin each section of pattern In several places, taking care that the curves and corners are flat on the goods. Cut out the pleces, allowing for seams, if allowance has not been made for them in the pattern; otherwise cut exactly around the edge. Use large shears, and cut with a long, steady stroke, not a short, choppy one. Ac- curate cutting Is the greatest help to- ward a good-looking garment, Cut all notches as indicated by the pattern, using small scissors and being careful not to cut them so deep that they will interfere with the seams. Mark perfor- ations with chalk, pencil or thread. Unpin the paper pattern, and fold all pieces carefully, and place at once in envelope. The calculations of the amount of material to buy In the case of garments fare more elaborate, Most commercial patterns give a table stating the amount of material of different widths necessary for the garment. If the amount is not stated {t must be esti- mated, taking into consideration both the measurements of the patterns and of the person who is to wear the gar- ment. $2.00 A YEAR $1.25 SIX MONTH $.75 THREE MONTH VENTILATED BOX FOR BREAD eu ueeeet Hot Product Should Not Be Wrapped Immediately as Moisture Causes Molds to Form. Bread and cakes should be kept in a ventilated box, the United States De- partment of Agriculture reminds the housewife. Hot bread should not be wrapped immediately. ‘The moisture of fresh bread causes molds to form. ‘The bread box should be scalded once @ week, wiped dry, and sunned. Crackers and cokes, on the other hand, lose their crispness, by absorb- ing moisture from the air.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Without realizing it one may be tired by disorderly and confused sur- roundings, whether at work or not, and for the same reason one may get through a relatively hard task with out undue fatigue If it is performed under pleasant, orderly conditions. While the unwashed dishes, the food standing about, the man's overcoat inappropriately hung in the kitchen, and the torn froning board cover may not actually interfere with rapid work, the general atmosphere of confusion detracts from good results and the worker is undoubtedly more tired at the end of the time she has spent froning than the one in the picture. ‘Time {s often lost making room among a collection of untidy articles, and as there is neither a hamper for a pile of dampened clothes nor a clotheshorse for those that have been ironed, the housewife will have to stop occasional- ly and move these garments to make room for others, It is important to have the ironing board steady and placed at the right height. A clean, well-padded troning board or table set at the comfortable working height from the floor requires the expenditure of less energy for iron- Ing. If it is possible to sit down to most of this task, the back will not be so tired as if one stands continually, The troning board cover should be fit- tagt'snugly on the board without wrin- kles and not allowed to sag. Standing with one’s back to. the light is another bad feature.

Several other points might be men tioned in connection with making tron- Ing less of a drudgery, points out the United States Department of Agricul: ture, Clean, smooth {rons should be used, Rubbing them occastonally with wax or paraffin will keep them in good condition, Rusty or dirty irons should be scoured with sand, soap or bath brick, washed, wiped dry, heated, waxed and rubbed smooth. Fabrics should be froned if possible with the lengthwise thread, as large a space as possible being ironed at one time. Most materials look best it jroned thoroughly dry. Parts that dry quickly and that will hang off the board when finished should be ironed first. Cuffs and sleeves, collars and drapes or ruffles on skirts are best froned before the main part of the garment. For silks, woolens and col- ored materials, medium-hot — irone should be used, All these materials should be ironed on the wrong side, exeept aprons and children’s dresses that need a smooth surface to keep clean longer. Silks and woolens may be froned on the right side if covered with dampened cheesecloth. C. E. SMITH, Manager, Res.

Reports from every notable style gathering at home or abroad pay glowing tribute to knitted outfits, according them favor second to none. Very charming is the youthful three-piece costume shown in the picture. It is fashioned of crystal crepe, the same being a new knitted fabric of fibre silk. The bodice, sleeves and the chic Peter Pan collar are of paisley. It is just such effective models as this which are setting agog those who find delight in exquisite dress achievement. There are, perchance, those who are skeptical as to the advisability of an amateur undertaking to fashion a gar- minutes undergoing to maintain a g THE WORLD'S FINEST FASHION A YOUTHFUL THREE-PIECE COSTUME ment of knitted fabric. Perish the thought, that knitted textiles can only be successfully manipulated by the expert. On the contrary, knitted materials are a boon to the amateur dressmaker, as well as to the professional. The test of these fabrics is in the using thereof. The initiated, those who have "tried and not found wanting" knitted yardage are most enthusiastic over its merits. The production of knitted fabric has been brought to a point of perfection, until one is insured most gratifying results in the matter non-sagging and tailored detail which belles the idea of any but the master touch. idea of any but the which belies the idea of any but the master touch. It is a simple matter to fashion at once a stunning suit or a frisk of It is a simple matter to fashion at nome a stunning suit or frock of knitted fabric or if one prefers, the better shops are displaying ravishing garments styled of knitted yardage. An outstanding fashion at the moment is the all-white midsummer knit suit or frock. It takes a minimum number of yards of knitted fabric to conjure a most arresting model consisting of jacquette and plain skirt, or, if preferred, a graceful cape to top a modish skirt of "wrapped" (lap-over front) design. --- Nothing smarter has come to the light of day this season than the short sports coats of woven or knitted wool, like those illustrated here. To look at them is to want one and to conjure up any number of times when their coziness and good style will prove a comfort and a pleasure. White, or neutral colors, with a high color for strong contrast, are liked best for these jaunty coats and either of the two pictured may be imagined in white with royal blue, white with orange or with jade green. Where gray or tan are preferred to white, the color combinations are just as good. The knitted coat at the left is bound with satin ribbon matching it in color. and has a side-tie fastening of the same ribbon. It is worn with a plain, homespun skirt, but these costs are worn much as sweaters are, with almost any dress. The spirted cout at the right is very handsome in tan with orange bars. Worn with a tan and orange striped skirt it makes a sports suit of much chic. A wide tan ribbon is used for the side-tie fastening and tan hose and slippers clothe the feet with appealing fitness. The tan hat carries out the harmony, with a flat cluster of little yarn pompons at the front and a narrow fold of orange- TWO SHORT SPORTS COATS colored velvet about the edge of the under brim.
