He stated that the religious department at Hampton Institute was in touch with 1,500 colored ministers of the South. Dean Brown of Yale Speaks The Rev. Dr. Charles Reynolds Brown of New Haven, Conn., dean of the Divinity School in Yale University and well known author of books on vital questions of applied Christianity, delivered four lectures on "The Art of Preaching." Charles Reynolds Brown of New Hampshire in Yale University and well known for his applied Christianity, delivered four speeches delivered before a union meeting, normally known address on "Abrahamic elements in the greatness of "America" the greatest man of the nineteenth century and practical sagacity; his ability to view; his power of holding him in the eyes of guiding them in the ways of selfishness and moral integrity. Defined the serious problems which hat of the United States—an empty party; counsellors who were suspicious Europe; for the most part, unfriendly, with over the existing situation; and up in arms against the government; when he became President, did not of political thought. He simply objection. He had common sense, integrity. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, mass meeting as a Virginian, to speakably grateful, both for his pre Dean Brown also delivered before a union meeting of teachers and ministers, his nationally known address on "Abraham Lincoln," in which he discussed the elements in the greatness of "America's martyred President, who was the greatest man of the nineteenth century"—his combination of lofty idealism and practical sagacity; his ability to comprehend and use men of extreme views; his power of holding himself close to people and at the same time of guiding them in the ways that they should go; and his political unselfishness and moral integrity. Dean Brown outlined the serious problems which Lincoln faced when he became President of the United States—an empty treasury; headship of an inexperienced party; counsellors who were suspicious of his abilities; public opinion of Europe, for the most part, unfriendly to the North; despondency in the North over the existing situation; and in the South a powerful, resolute group in arms against the government. Dean Brown declared that Lincoln, when he became President, did not wear the tag of any section or school of political thought. He simply did what he believed would save the Union. He had common sense, integrity and a sense of humor. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, introduced Dean Brown to the great mass meeting as a Virginian, to whom workers at Hampton were unspeakably grateful, both for his presence and his message. Negro Church Serves Race The Rev. Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Charleston, W. Va., in addition to giving four lectures on "A Social Program from Jesus for the Negro Church," spoke in Ogden hall to the ministers and members of the Hampton Institute Summer School on "The Cooperation of the Negro Ministers and Teachers." Ordecai W. Johnson, pastor of the FIU in addition to giving four lectures for the Negro Church," spoke in Ogeeab of the Hampton Institute Summer Negro Ministers and Teachers." In church, in spite of denominational factor in the development of the real intelligent Negroes for its sixty twelve instructive service to community life is to a needy and aspiring race, wasason, who also referred to the value United States and to the Christie which have been supported by poor That the Negro church, in spite of denominationalism and crudity, is the most powerful factor in the development of the race and deserves the active support of all intelligent Negroes for its sixty years of powerful, independent and constructive service to community life and progress and for its spiritual gifts to a needy and aspiring race, was the conviction expressed by Dr. Johnson, who also referred to the value of the 40,000 Negro ministers in the United States and to the Christian service of educational institutions which have been supported by poor colored people. Man-Building Program The four-day program included a conference sermon by the Rev. Dr. William P. Hayes of New York, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church; three lectures on "Social Hygiene" by Franklin O. Nichols of New York, associate director, department of field organization, American Social Hygiene Association; four lectures on "The Prophet Amos," by Prof. Kemper Fullerton of Oberlin, O.; Finney, professor of Old Testament language and literature in the Oberlin School of Theology since 1904; four lectures on "The Church and the Community," by the Rev. Hermann N. Morse of New York, director of publicity, Presbyterian Board of Home Missions, and four lectures on "The Significance of Bible Study," by the Rev. Dr. Edward A. Clarke of Cleveland, O., pastor of St. John A. M. E. Church. The four-day program included a conference sermon by the Rev. Dr. William P. Hayes of New York, pastor of M. Olivet Baptist Church; three lectures on "Social Hygiene" by Franklin O. Nichols of New York, associate director, department of field organization, American Social Hygiene Association; four lectures on "The Prophet Amos," by Prof. Kemper Fullerton of Oberlin, O.; Finney, professor of Old Testament language and literature in the Oberlin School of Theology since 1904; four lectures on "The Church and the Community," by the Rev. Hermann N. Morse of New York, director of publicity, Presbyterian Board of Home Missions, and four lectures on "The Significance of Bible Study," by the Rev. Dr. Edward A. Clarke of Cleveland, O., pastor of St. John A. M. E. Church. A few of the conference suggestions follow: "You can live any where and be a preacher, but to be a pastor you must live with your people." "When churches cease to wonder 'how to get people' and begin to ponder 'how to serve people,' there will be no church problem." "The world's greatest preacher was a country preacher. In those days he came preaching in the wilderness. He had a message!" "Can your people say that you lead them by the still waters? Jesus never intended that a pulpit should be a whipping post." "There is more religion on some street corners than there is in some amen corners." "The Ten Commandments do not need re-writing but re-reading." "The non-Christian world is not illiterate because it has no desire or capacity for education. It is so because it has never had a chance." "The spirit of good will among men rests upon spiritual forces." "The peril of the country today is not the uprising of the 'sinners,' but the down sitting of the 'saints.'" "A religious education should be the heritage of every child. Spiritual illiteracy is the greatest peril of organized society." "Our evangelists should give more light and less heat." DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1923 State Hist & Nut llls Society State House MABLE PEOPLE'S PA RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA Col. Stanley, Commander of Veterans' Hospital, Failed to Protect U. S. Employee Atlanta, Ga.—According to accounts of the treatment accorded John H. Calhoun, the young colored accountant who was named by the United States Civil Service Commission for the position of disbursing officer at the Negro Veterans' Hospital, Tuskegee, Ala., and who was not permitted to go to work when he reported for duty, it appears to be reasonably certain that Col. R. H. Stanley, the United States army officer, attached to the Veterans' Bureau and assigned to temporary command of the Tuskegee sanitarium, is either an actual member of the Ku Klux Klan, or decidedly in sympathy with the organization. This is based on the allegation that the notice sent to Calhoun by the Klan, threatening him with dire personal injury if he attempted to take up his work in the hospital, was handed to the young man by Stanley himself. And further, color is lent to the supposition by the fact that although Calhoun had been ordered on duty by the federal authorities, Stanley refused to furnish him with quarters or to give him any sort of protection. Calhoun, a graduate of Hampton, and formerly an employee at Tuskegee Institute, realizing that his life was in peril, quitted Tuskegee and came to Atlanta, where he met and had a conference with Gen. Frank E. Hines, director of the Veterans' Bureau, Washington, who was enroute to Tuskegee for the muchly-advertised conference with the white citizens of that town, and which is to be continued in Washington at a later date, with three prominent Alabamians representing the sentiment which opposes Negro physicians and nurses for Negro patients. Attention is called to the fact that even though Stanley be a native of Alabama, he is an officer of the U. S. army and sworn to uphold the government. But in this case he forswore his bounden obligation and catered to vile race prejudice as expounded by the invisible empire. Not only did he refuse quarters on protection to a federal employee, but it is alleged that he actually ordered the guards to admit the Klan during its midnight parade on July 3, to the hospital confines where they made a search for Calhoun, who was at the time among friends in the Tuskegee Institute community, preparing to leave the vicinity. The attitude of Col. Stanley, commander of the hospital post, raises the question as to what treatment will be accorded disabled veterans by a man sod saturated with racial prejudice. Beaty Is Appointed U. S. District Attorney in Ohio Beaty Is Appointed U. S. District Attorney in Ohio Cincinnati, Ohio, July 13.—Anouncement has been made of the appointment of Lee Beaty, prominent attorney here, and former member of the Ohio State Legislature, to the position of assistant United States district attorney for the southern district of Ohio. According to reports this is the first position of its kind that a member of our race has been appointed to in the state. Attorney Beaty served with credit as a law maker, and his ability at the bar were recognized factors that gained for him the appointment. Madam C. J. Walker Agents to Meet in Detroit, Mich. Madam C. J. Walker Agents to Meet in Detroit, Mich. Seventh Annual Convention Promises to Surpass All Others The thousands of agents of the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, Inc., of Indianapolis, are the only group of our women nationally organized for the purposes of increasing their efficiency as business women and their usefulness as citizens to the communities in which they reside. Each year large numbers of them attend their national convention and profit by the advanced instructions, lectures and demonstrations that are there given. This year the seventh annual national convention of Madam C. J. Walker agents will be held at Detroit, Michigan, August 8th, 9th and 10th, and the plans call for a far more interesting and helpful convention than has thus far been held. Discussion of important business matters, demonstrations in advanced methods and research lectures on beauty culture are on the program. Several characters of national repute are invited. A picturesque boat ride through the harbor, sightseeing trips, receptions and a coiffure contest are among the entertainment features now planned and, of course, the annual award of cash prizes to Madam C. J. Walker agents will be made. This year $1,650 will be distributed to the most successful agents. Detroit is an ideal and historically important city and will afford those who attend the convention an opportunity to combine business and pleasure, and all Walker agents should attend. Inquiries regarding the convention and reservations for homes will be answered if addressed to the convention headquarters, care Mrs. Alice C. Burnett, 2509 St. Antoine Street, Detroit, Michigan. World Rifle Record World Rifle Record By First Battalion of 25th U. S. Infantry—Every Man Qualified as Expert Shots Douglas, Ariz., June 30, 1923.—A world's record in rifle fire was made by the first battalion of the 25th infantry stationed at Camp Harry J. Jones in the course of target work completed yesterday, according to Major Harry J. Castles, commander of the post, who personally supervised the work on the range. Every man in the three rifle companies of the battalion, numbering about 320, qualified as marksmen or better, which so far as records available at the post here show, has never been equaled in the history of the United States army. Corporal Jesse J. Williams of B. Company made the highest record of the battalion which is also the highest in the regiment, making a score of 321 out of a possible 350. B company made the highest average, running up a mark of over 291, its rank numbering 49 expert riflemen, the highest grade attainable, and 29 sharpshooters. The average for the entire battalion, according to Major Castles, will run between 285 and 290, which is well above the sharpshooter mark of 275. Extract From the Speech of Henry L. Johnson Appealing to the Jury in the Trial of Marcus Garvey and Other Defendants Extract From the Speech of Henry L. Johnson Appealing to the Jury in the Trial of Marcus Garvey and Other Defendants "Oh, gentlemen, you can have no idea what it means to be a Negro in a day like this—the ignominy of it. Hemmed in and surrounded, victimized in this and that, and still going on and respecting and obeying the laws and looking for a brighter and better day, trying to fashion ourselves for the glory of the civilization in which we live. We know that we lost every dime. But, gentlemen, if not only the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but every black man, lost every dime he had; if every black man had taken his all and dropped it into the sea, with the belief that it would make him somebody, the consciousness that he means something to somebody, the exchange would be well and good. It would be money well spent. There is no one in this group of people but believe, deep down in his heart, that there is need of a broad industrial opportunity for his children. The black man does not live whose heart is not praying that some day, somehow, the hideous curtain of hell and hate and of oppression and of a lack of opportunity will some day be lifted from the vision of his children. I am praying for mine. Every black man hopes the same. And that is what he is trying to do." Did Stanley Welcome Ku Klux to Hospital Grounds at Tuskegee? Did Stanley Welcome Ku Klux to Hospital Grounds at Tuskegee? Colonel R. H. Stanley, the white head of the hospital for disabled Negro veterans at Tuskegee, Ala., is reported to have notified the colored nurses at the hospital that he does not wish them to have any contact whatever with the colored people of Tuskegee Institution. These nurses have absolutely no recreation or social outlet as a result of Stanley's announcement and their position is becoming more and more trying every day. On Tuesday night, July 3, after the Ku Klux Klan had paraded, several cars of hooded figures went to the hospital and apparently there had been instructions to the guards to let them pass, as the hooded figures were saluted by the guards, the ropes taken down and they were permitted to enter upon the reservation and go through certain of the buildings there in search of Calhoun, the colored man who had put up a wonderful fight for his position at the hospital. The colored nurses were not disturbed by the Klansmen, but they were, of course, in a state of intense excitement when they found that they were thus exposed and unprotected. NO. 40. A Pioneer Settlement Worker Mrs. Sarah Collins Fernandis is a native of Baltimore, where she is living today. Mainly her work here, although she is called away some times to other parts of the country for a while. In Baltimore there is a well-organized, influential body of women known as "The Women's Civic League," which is to be reckoned with in all constructive civic betterment projects. These women appointed Mrs. Fernandis executive secretary of the colored women and she organized them into a strong body known as the Co-operative Women's Civic League. They work in unison with the Women's Civic League for the same causes. This organization is the means of bringing the best women of both races together in work for the common good. The league started with a day nursery and clubs for boys and girls, delinquent or retarded in public schools, thus touching the lives of hundreds of neglected children. Later the day nursery became independent. The Cooperative Civic League has grown apace under Mrs. Fernandis' wise leadership. Starting with a membership of thirty-five it has spread among the women in all parts of the city until there are now separate groups in the different wards who work out their individual community problems and come together to report progress. Mrs. Fernandis is now president, giving her time, experience and energy without compensation and directing the work of an executive secretary.—Southern Workman. Negro Receives Patent on Improvement for Lights George Washington Turner, formerly of Cleveland, Ohio, but now living at 1411 L street, N. W., Washington, D. C., has recently been awarded a patent for a useful improvement on the incandescent electric lamp. This improvement provides for the removal of the burnout filament and a new filament is supplied so that the lamp may be used over and over again, indefinitely. This is done by the affixing of a detachable plug so that a new filament may be screwed in. A vacuum is created after the new plug is inserted. The patent claims were filed on February 4, 1921 and Mr. Turner received the patent on April 10, 1923. This invention was brought through the experiment with burnout electric bulbs. Mr. Turner also holds a patent on an automatic fan, which he attempted to commercialize in 1920. Although he has received several offers, Mr. Turner plans to commercialize his new electric light, as it can be manufactured at practically the same cost of the present lights.

DESIRABLE GOOD THINGS A dainty tasty way of serving veal for a small family is as follows: Veal Birds.—Have a rather thin slice of veal cut from the leg. Pound until thin, cut into strips and place on each a spoonful of seasoned bread crumbs, using just such seasoning as the family likes. It may be a little paprika with onion, parsley or sage or poultry dressing and a rather thin slice of veal cut from the leg. Pound until thin, cut into strips and place on each a spoonful of seasoned bread crumbs, using just such seasoning as the family likes. It may be a little paprika with onion, parsley or sage or poultry dressing and a grating of lemon peel. Roll up the strips, dip into seasoned flour after skewering well with toothpleks or tying with twine. Place in a hot frying pan with a little butter and brown well all over. Now add a cupful or more of thin cream or rich milk. Cover and simmer for half an hour. Serve with mashed potatoes and the gravy from the pan. Frosted Ginger Cookies.—Cream one-quarter of a cupful of butter, with one-half of a cupful of sugar and the beaten yolks of two eggs, two tablespoonfuls of strong coffee infusion, one-half cupful of pastry flour, one and one-half teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one-third of a teaspoonful of salt and three-fourths of a cupful of chopped candied ginger. Combine and blend well and drop from a spoon onto baking sheets. Bake in a moderate oven and when cool frost with marshmallow iceing. Tomato Nests.—Hollow out tomatoes and fill each with the following mixture: Drop a raw egg into the tomato, season with salt, pepper, and cover with two slices of bacon. Add a bit of worcestershire sauce to each, skewer the slices of bacon with toothpicks and bake twenty minutes. Rhubarb Pie.—Take one and one half cupfuls of sliced rhubarb, one cupful of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of flour, one egg, mix well the egg, flour and sugar, add to the rhubarb. Line a pie tin with rich paste, fill with the mixture and cover with a top crust. Bake slowly in a moderate oven. A good cook can vary the flavors of food as a composer varies the orchestral colors and harmonics, getting genuine artistic gastronomic pleasure therefrom. H. Finch. SUMMER HINTS To keep sandwiches fresh another day place them on a plate and cover with another; now wrap in a cloth wrung out of cold water. In this way there are no parts of the sandwiches softened by the wet cloth as it now wrap in a cloth wrung out of cold water. In this way there are no parts of the sandwiches softened by the wet cloth as it does not touch them, though it keeps them moist. Make a layer cake of three layers, if the family is small; cut one layer in half and use for filling a half cupful of whipped cream sweetened and flavored. Put the other two layers together, using a boiled frosting with chopped nuts and raisins. This will keep and be moist for several days and two cakes will be bad at the expense of time and material for one. The odds and ends of pastry may be made into a turnover, using any filling at hand, or may be baked over patty pans and used as timbale cases, or may be rolled out, sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon cut into strips and baked, making little cakes to serve with tea. Raisin Chocolate.—Take one cupful of raisins, one cupful of dates stoned, one teaspoonful of orange rind, one-quarter of a teaspoonful of cinnamon and vanilla. Mix well and form into balls. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Dip the balls into it one at a time, using a hatpin or loop of wire if a chocolate dipper is not at hand. Place on waxed paper to cool and harden. Melon Cocktail.—Use a good-sized potato cutter and cut either muskmelon or watermelon into balls. If muskmelon is used a mint or lemon sauce is delicious; if watermelon, any fruit sauce like pineapple or orange and lemon is good. Use tall sherbet cups which have been dipped after moistening the inside of the rim in powdered sugar, then fill with the chilled balls and the sauce. Garnish with a sprig of mint on top of each when using mint sauce. Escaloped Onions and Tomatoes.—Take two cupfuls of sliced onions, two cupfuls of stewed tomatoes, one-half cupful of bread crumbs, salt and pepper to season, three tablespoonfuls of butter. Cook the onions in boiling water for fifteen minutes, then drain and salt them. Put a layer of tomatoes in a greased baking dish, add a layer of onions, sprinkle with salt and pepper, cover with more tomatoes. Repeat until all the ingredients are used. Spread crumbs on top, dot with butter and bake in a moderate oven. Irish Opera by German. It is strange that one of the most "Irish" of Irish operas should come from a German musician, but it is nevertheless a fact that the typical Irish opera, "The Lily of Killarney," was composed by a German, Julius Benedict. But Benedict, says the Morning Post, was a clever man, and the Irish idiom in its broad aspect is easy to assume. While speaking with an Irish accent he said many beautiful things, and the airs "Eileen Mavourneen" and "I'm lone" would give distinction to any opera that dealt in melody, and sixty years have not dimmed the charm of Benedict's melodies. Homemade Vases. A young housewife who had two pretty plain-colored vases in her living room, one dark green and one light blue, explained to admiring friends how she had made them. They were merely wide-mouthed bottles of pleasing shape, which had been treated to a coat or two of ordinary paint. The idea might easily be elaborated by tracing in lead pencil a simple outline, perhaps a flower or conventional design, to be filled in with a contrasting color. Such vases may be made to harmonize with any furnishings. Dye Makes Choice. A remarkable new dye has been discovered that will select which piece of material it will dye and which it will not. By this means a white material can be placed in a bath of dyesulfur and dyed two colors in one operation. Thus, a mixed material of cotton and artificial silk placed in a bath of the new dyesulfur will come out with the cotton threads dyed blue and the silk fibers dyed red, yellow or orange, according to the particular dye used. Vernal Dreams "Farming is a great life," remarks an exchange. "It is a positive joy to sit and look at the water, the clear moon streaming over the hills, the trees bursting into bud, the wild flowers peeping through the greening grass." Ay, truly farming would be a great life—if that were farming—Boston Transcript. Taken Together. It always struck me as a singular proof of good taste, good sense and liberal thinking in an old friend, who had Palne's "Rights of Man" and Burke's "Reflections on the French Revolution" bound up in one volume, and who said, that, both together, they made a very good book.—Hazzill.

Just before leaving he said that in three years he would return the money. He then jumped out of the window and disappeared into darkness. Three years passed and the money was returned.—Chicago Journal.

Church Leaders Rise to Tuskegee's Defense Threatened Interference With Institution Would Be Lasting Disgrace, Say Methodist South Lake Junaluska, N. C., July 12. (Special.)—The Social Service Commission of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, in annual session here last week, gave out a statement expressing appreciation of Tuskegee Institute and declaring that any interference with the institution would be a "lasting disgrace to southern civilization." The statement which was given wide publicity by the Associated Press, was as follows: "Inasmuch as there has come to us through reliable newspaper reports and private sources of undoubted reliability information that the interests of the great institution for colored people at Tuskegee, Ala., are seriously menaced by threats of organized interference. "Resolved, That this Commission put on record our appreciation of the incalculable value of that institution for the training of our colored fellow citizens, and declare our unalterable conviction that any invasion of its rights or interference with the orderly pursuit of its lawful and benevolent labors would be a calamity to the institution and a lasting disgrace to our Southern civilization. The action of the Commission of which Bishop James Cannon, Jr., is Chairman, was called forth by the recent parade of the Ku Klux Klan at Tuskegee and by other efforts to intimidate the Institute, because of its supposed attitude in the controversy relative to the new government hospital for colored veterans. The statement is considered very significant as representing the leadership of one of the greatest Southern demoninations, with a membership of 2,500,000. It indicates the prevailing attitude of the best people of the South toward Tuskegee and other Negro institutions. For Rent—One apartment with modern conveniences, near two car lines.

BAN ON FISHERY TRUSTS PLANNED SECRETARY OF COMMERCE HOOVER PLEDGES HELP TO DEVELOP TERRITORY AID PROMISED ALASKA ABOLITION OF THE BIG TRAP AND LIMITATION OF PACK RECOMMENDED Anchorage, Alaska.—A pledge that steps would be taken within three months which would place Alaska more in the way of progress than ever before has been given the people of the territory by Herbert Hoover, secretary of the Department of Commerce. Speaking at a dinner of the Chamber of Commerce, the secretary said: "Within the next three months we shall effect some measures that will co-ordinate Alaska better than heretofore, so that out of this we may do something worth doing. The greatest thing we might do is to establish happy co-operation to build a new country so that Alaska will have a greater mission and vision to America than the matter of control of her fisheries and lands. She has the building of a great state." Secretary Hoover pointed out that Alaska would not be developed in great rushes like Oklahoma and California, but "some day would develop four or five great states." "This," he said "must come by steady accretion of people, step by step, that come here to obtain a better livelihood and a better standard of living. We must remember it is a place of greater possibility and of tremendous resources, and there can be no full self-government until you are able to carry that burden." At the fisheries hearing, Secretary Hoover took a vote on the question, "Shall We Abolish Big Traps?" and received a unanimous vote. Singling out a man who conducts a small trap, Mr. Hoover said: "It seems the people want a system whereby fishing in Alaska will be done by men like you, which will give you a population, instead of importing such labor as complained of." A cannery man asserted that abolition of the big trap would end canning in Alaska. Advocates of abolition recommended the use of small traps with a limitation of the pack and maintenance of reservations. Mr. Hoover announced that broad policy would be adopted, and that there would be rules governing each district separately. He said that a blanket reservation would be unsuitable. As gauged from the hearings, Secretary Hoover's announcement is believed here to indicate that a consolidated board to administrate the territory, co-ordinating the various bureauaus, and the abolition of large traps as soon as a substitute can be found, are new policies to be established. U. S. Agents Seize Fight Films Los Angeles, Calif.—Department of Justice agents visited the Horsley studio a few days ago and confiscated the motion picture films of the Dempsey-Gibbons fight at Shebel, Mont., July 4. No arrests were made, but the officers said several were in prospect. The agents said they seized five reels which they declared, had been brought here in violation of the federal law making it a felony to transport in interstate commerce pictures of prize fights. Officials of the studio denied any attempt to violate the law. Washington.—Asserting that insurance companies have confiscated millions of dollars because of lapsed payments by policy holders, Representative Thomas, Democrat of Oklahoma, announced here he would introduce a bill in the next Congress seeking to guarantee to the public, "the full benefits under all insurance policy contracts." The money held by the companies, Mr. Thomas said, consists of funds which "rightfully belong to the estate of unfortunate persons who permitted their policies to lapse after making a sufficient number of annual premium payments to give their policies a paid up or extended insurance value." Quarrel Ends in Killing of Three Waverly, Mo—William Plunkett, a laborer, shot and killed his wife, his mother-in-law, Mrs. Isaac Tubb, and his sister-in-law, Miss Jane Tubb, after a family quarrel at their home here. Plunkett was arrested a few minutes after the shooting and taken to the county jail at Lexington. Neighbors said the shooting was the culmination of a series of quarrels. I. W. W.

ARE WE DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP? of those engaged civic betterment and welfare have any idea of the far-reaching benefits of an institution they may furnish encouragement to. The true worth of a man is seldom adequately found; others find the virtues of sincerity and lucificas.

Our two representatives accept conference body, facing a majority of young men and bias who had been reared with only to them. However, our speakers neither offered anything that could be construed as. As a result the conference went on to repaganda but as strongly urging a federal action on the part of the student conference, Negro speakers were released to the primary paper of prominence gave it space. That just at present co-operation on the par with but is actually getting beneficent resurber at one of our prominent churches like who come from afar as leaders, engaged as far up its down, and utterances that come from to us. Yet in our praises, rightfully give the important part that our own citizens as that seems so necessary a part of our nation may come into full possession of our right. West is rapidly developing a fearless leader of civic righteousness as clear in logic and need in any other part of the country. The South should hear. We are pleased to us and they can always be assured a royalty of the Rocky Mountains to penetrate other offer that is worth while and nourishing. VERY FEW of those engaged civic betterment and wrestling with vexing problems have any idea of the far-reaching benefits of their efforts nor to what extent they may furnish encouragement to those of another community. The true worth of a man is seldom adequately measured in his home town until others find the virtues of sincerity and leadership in their utterances and sacrifices. Recently two prominent DenverNegro professional men-were called into a summer conference at Estes Park where hundreds of white students were meeting and discussing questions of national moment. Some of the promoters, of advanced ideas suggested the need of hearing from the Negro race. Naturally the white man wants to hear that part of the race problem most pleasing to him with as little of his own vices and shortcomings as possible brought to light. Our two representatives accepted the invitation to address the conference body, facing a majority of young men with inborn Southern prejudices and bias who had been reared with only one side of the question presented to them. However, our speakers neither filinched from the responsibility nor offered anything that could be construed as a compromise in their arguments. As a result the conference went on record as not only endorsing our propaganda but as strongly urging a federal enactment against lynching. This action on the part of the student conference together with the names of the two Negro speakers were released to the press of the country last week and every paper of prominence gave it space. The significant feature of this is that just at present co-operation on the part of the races is not only being urged but is actually getting beneficent results as was evidenced by a lecturer at one of our prominent churches last Sunday night. We acclaim those who come from afar as leaders, engaged in the solving of problems that bear us down, and utterances that come from their lips fall as manna from above to us. Yet in our praises, rightfully given 'tis true, do we pause to realize the important part that our own citizens are playing in the great upheaval that seems so necessary a part of our national life just now, and before we may come into full possession of our rights as Americans. We believe the West is rapidly developing a fearless leadership. We believe we have teachers of civic rightousness as clear in logic and as deep in thought as can be produced in any other part of the country. They have a message that the East and South should hear. We are pleased to have leaders and scholars come to us and they can always be assured a royal welcome, but we want the voice of the Rocky Mountains to penetrate other sections for they have something to offer that is worth while and nourishing. THE STEWARDSHIP ADO STATESMAN acknowledges with a script of the 13th annual report of the Naiancement of Colored People and we hear in every Negro home in America. We will be scanned by every white person of cur THE COLORADO STATESMAN acknowledges with grateful appreciation the receipt of the 13th annual report of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and we heartily wish a copy could be placed in every Negro home in America. We wish further that its pages could be scanned by every white person of culture and intelligence in the United States. This report is something more than a compilation of dry statistical facts. It is an accounting of a most sacred stewardship, with a record of achievements surpassing that of any organization known to the history of the Negro race. It is a report destined to become historical, a veritable text book that can with profit be preserved for the benefit of many generations yet unborn. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was founded fourteen years ago. This is not a long period in a happy-go-lucky world and but a short span for a people unweighted by more than the ordinary cares of the day. It is however, a universe of time for any people struggling beneath the yoke of proscription, bowed down by merciless oppression, the haunted victims of racial prejudices, the ready subject of mob violence and lynching, and socially spurned because of color. Let us look back to the years preceding February 12, 1909, the date of the birth of this great organization. It wasa dark and almost hopeless period. Every known agency of the criminally inclined south was being employed to leave an impress of inferiority on the brow of the struggling Negro. Statesmanship in Dixie was born of demagoguery and men were elevated to high places in our national government solely on their fitness to find abusive and opprobrious terms to apply to the Negro. Hence Tillman, Vardaman and others of their ilk. It was the period when birth was given to 'grandfather clauses,' Jim crow cars and the spirit of segregation, and there were none to raise a staying hand until this association sprung into being. Fourteen years ago it had no other asset than a sincerity of purpose and a handful of people to carry forward that purpose. Today it has that greatest of all assets, helpful alike to organizations or individuals, the supreme confidence and respect of all American citizens of any race or color. We use the term respect advisedly, for even in the southland where the National Association is cordially hated and all its machinations despised, respect for its power and grim purposes have grown to such an extent that "Powerful groups of southern white women have publicly repudiated the lynching mob as a 'protector of womanhood' and many of the leading newspapers of the south are outspoken in opposition to mob rule." Through its central office and allied branches it has held the "Shame of America" so constantly before the public gaze with the searchlight of truth so mercilessly trained upon it that today America sees her own shame as reflected in the mirror of public opinion. Lynching is on the decrease, the South is upon humble knees as thousands of Negroes, senseing the new spirit of manhood and larger freedom as preached by the N. A. A. C. P. are moving to the North. A decidedly interesting phase of the 13th annual report is the financial accounting contained therein. It is surprising, the comparatively small budget upon which this association must operate. And while we may rightfully contend that the association is growing in power and importance, it is clear that the Negro is not fully aroused to the responsibilities of the hour. Many times the amount now available for use of the National Office should be given and given by Negroes. We often speak with pride with what Denver has done, but Denver can and should do more. The National Office should not be handicapped in its efforts to 'carry on' through lack of funds. We yet have a long road ahead of us, but we can see the light of a better day through a faithful stewardship of our rights and interests by this, "the foremost organization striving toward inter-racial peace and harmony in America." Cheyenne, Wyo., News Cheyenne, Wyo., July 4, 1923.—This little frontier town has recently been honored by two of the foremost citizens of the great United States in the persons of President Warren G. Harding and the grand exalted ruler of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, the Hon. J. Finley Wilson of Washington, D. C. In our own peculiar Western pride we not only felt honored by these visits, but in the true Western spirit and with the well known Western methods, attempted to do honor to our guests. The city and state turned out to honor the visit of our chief executive. This was a national occasion for rejoicing and hospitality, yet to a certain group of citizens of this great commonwealth the visit of the grand exalted ruler transcends that of the foremost citizen of the land. In his tour of the country in the interest and for the advancement of Elkdom among the racial group to which we feel so proud in acclaiming membership, the grand exalted ruler saw fit to extend his trip to the Rocky Mountain section of the country, to the proud city of Denver, Colo., where the herd of that glorious city gave him one of the most rousing and enthusiastic receptions of his tour. Justly zealous and filled with pride for our great state of Wyoming, we of Frontier Lodge No. 285 of Cheyenne sent to Denver a large delegation to assist Mountain Lodge in their reception of the grand exalted ruler. This delegation was headed by our own much beloved, honored and respected exalted ruler, Mr. John Baker. Cheyenne was not listed on the itinerary of the grand exalted ruler, but when our exalted ruler had finished his persuasive talk there was but one answer to make. We are far removed from the center of activities of the great herd and mass of Elks of the East, South and North, yet we knew of the arduous work of the grand exalted ruler for the advancement and increase of Elkdom. We knew of his travels in the far and undeveloped Southland and of his positive achievements there. We Know the luxuriance of a plenteous supply of hot water in your home all summer-through the service of the Automatic Hot Water Storage Heater SPECIAL TERMS NOW AVAILABLE "Use Gas For Fuel" PHONE MAIN 4000 knew of the more than sixty-five new lodges and the thousands of new members gained by this big little man during the past ten months of his administration. We knew of the obstacles placed in his way and overcome by his indominable spirit and sheer ability. Yes, we knew of these things and many more which confronted this layman when he took the helm of Elkdom and started on his voyage of adventure into the old and new fields of grazing country rich in material, inductive to the advancement and development of Elkdom. Knowing these things and appreciating the fact that such men always have a message not alone for the herd, but for the outsider as well, full of value and inspiration to all, we of this Frontier Lodge sent out most valued and persuasive talker and much loved exalted ruler to bring him in our midst. Small in numbers, it is true, yet the great and big spirit of the West prevailed in the heart of each. Before he had finished his duties in the great sister city of Denver our exalted ruler had hied him, as in the days gone by, to our fair city. When he stepped down from the Pullman which had safely hurried him to us, he was met by the officers and members of Frontier Lodge No. 285, Chevenne Wyo. Seated in that handsome new Paige of our exalted ruler and preceded and followed by automobile loads of the herd, the grand exalted ruler was carried through the streets of Cheyenne and given a chance to view a few of the old buildings and places of interest familiar to him years ago while enroute to the charming home of Major M. T. Dean, where Mrs. Dean awaited to honor and extend our frontier hospitality to our honored guest. What in numbers we lacked was more than overcome in the genuine welcome and hospitality and openness of receiving and doing honor to such a personage. Our reception and dance was very largely attended by the leading citizens—ladies and gentlemen. No charges of any kind were made. Admission was free. Refreshments in abundance served free. A souvenir was given out free. We of the West, on such occasion, we do not believe in charging the public to meet a public personage. We have often heard this big little man address audiences reaching into the thousands, and we have heard him when at his best, but we are of the opinion that the Western spirit, the frontier recollections, the atmosphere of the mountains and vast spaces so inspired and enthused this big little man that never was he so clear, so eloquent, so logical, so inspiring and so full of enthusiasm for Elkdom, for the racial group, as his remarks proved this night. Amid this group of Westerners of the old and new regime his remarks went home so true to the mark, so deep and touching that at times he could hardly proceed for the deafening applause. Cheyenne has been honored. Cheyenne attempted to honor. You of the East may claim him for your own today. Tennessee may claim him because of his birth, yet the Great West rightly claims him as a product of these vast domains of mountain and plain. It was here that he first discovered and found the chance to publicly address a group of citizens. Do you know that his first public address was in one of our frontier towns at the bier of a deceased comrade? From that day, that hour, marks the public appearance of J. Finley Wilson, our much beloved and honored grand exalted ruler. Out of the West came he to you. We love him. We honor him. We of the Mountain States shall cast our votes for him at Chicago next month. What are you of Elkdom going to do for this big little man whose past ten months' achievements speak volumes? And then we shall demand a thing of you. This shall be the seed sown in fertile soil. Come to Denver, Colo., in 1925. More of this in a later letter. M. T. DEAN, Correspondent Frontier Lodge No. 285, L. B. & P. O. E. W. Mr. Wm. Witt has purchased a home at No. 578 West Twenty-seventh street, consideration $2,700. We are glad to know Mr. Witt is to remain in Cheyenne. He had contemplated removing to Colorado. Mrs. E. W. Wright has returned after a brief visit with Rev. Wright at Casper. Mrs. Mattie Crawley is seriously ill. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Cammel have returned to Cheyenne. The Cammel's are at home to their friends at 621 West Eighteenth street. Mr. Blakemore and party stopped over enroute to Laramie. Various Kinds of Ice. Experiments have shown that water can be made to solidify into five different kinds of ice, each of which at certain temperatures and pressures changes from one into another with explosive violence. One kind, "ice-2," requires a very low temperature and great pressure to keep it from exploding into ordinary ice. Another kind will stay frozen at summer heat, provided it is kept under a pressure of 20,000 atmospheres. In nature such great pressures exist only in company with very high temperatures, and it is, entirely possible that some of these kinds of ice never existed until they were created in the experimenters' hydraulic press.

Both Mr. Anderson and the boy escaped with only minor bruises, but Mrs. Anderson was quite severely injured. She was taken to a hospital at Longmont and later brought to Denver, where at last reports she was resting easy. The car was demolished and it was a miracle that the occupants escaped without more serious injuries. DR. GEO. E. HAYNES AT SHORTER CHURCH Eminent Scholar and Ph. D. Delivers Strong Address Shorter should have been crowded to the doors last Sunday night on the occasion of an address by Dr. Geo E. Hayries of New York, secretary of Allied Church Council, and one of the most eminent race men in America. A good sized audience was on hand and listened to a treat such as seldom comes to Denver. Dr. Haynes had just come from Estes Park, where he had delivered a series of lectures before the Y. M. C. A. student body that is holding a conference there. He was a school mate of Dr. Westbrook at Fisk University a number of years ago, who introduced the New York scholar in a well chosen address. Dr. Haynes was also the breakfast guest of Dr. Westbrook on Monday morning. Many prominent white citizens attended the lecture and later held a conference with him. THE PASSING AWAY OF REV.

They made many friends among the younger set especially, and left with the intention of coming again when occasion permits. All Denver will receive them with an open heart as well as a warm welcome. ANNOUNCEMENT OF MARCUS GARVEY PROTEST MEEEING Negro Leader Imprisoned in New York—Negroes to Protest Here All the colored people of this city are called to attend a Protest mass meeting to be held at Fern Hall, Sun- day, July 22, at 3:30 p. m., protesting against the holding of the Hon.

No. 638 TIME TO CALL A HALT Willard Lewis, Business Man, Mistreated in Local Picture House Willard Lewis, well known Denver citizen and owner of the Ritz Cafe at Five Points, was subjected to unnecessary humiliation and abuse at the Rialto theatre last Saturday night for no greater offense than being a Negro and for insisting upon his rights as a man. He purchased a ticket in the usual manner and upon entering the theatre took a seat in accordance with the price paid. Hardly had he been seated before an usher rushed up and demanded that Lewis move to what is attempted to be segregated seats or a "jim crow" section in the theatre. Willard Lewis properly and rightfully refused to move. The usher called the manager who in turn called in the policeman on the beat and had Lewis taken to the city hall on the charge of disturbance. After the usual tactics at the city hall Lewis was released on bail at the instance of Attorney George Ross. At the trial in police court on Monday morning Ross appeared for Lewis and for the Denver Branch N. A. A. C. P. that entered the case and Lewis was discharged. This however, should not end the case by any means and we learn that the N. A. A. C. P. and Lewis propose to fight the case to a bitter end. Attorney Ross has been instructed to take any steps he may see fit in the matter and it is our hope that an end may be put to the disgusting habit of segregating picture show lovers simply on account of color. The Denver Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is looked upon as one of the very strongest branches in the country. Each year our citizens support it handsomely and now that a concrete case of injustice and discrimination faces it we confidently look to it to fight a damage suit through every Colorado court if necessary.

Secretary Hutchinson of the Colored Men's Branch of Wichita, stopped over night in the city Tuesday on his way to the Y. M. C. A. Summer School in Estes Park. Our present old building, which has served us so faithfully for so long, and which has come in for so much criticism and condemnation on the part of the public, will soon be seen no more. Won't them be happy days? Its companion, the old brick next door, will also disappear with it. The disappearance of old land marks, however, does not always mean that complete happiness will follow. One of the pleasantest occasions of the present season was the dinner served by the committee of management to Mr. Lute, General Secretary of the Denver Y. M. C. A. Last Monday evening at the Y. M. C. A. rooms, Mr. Lute had just returned from the Second Boys' World Work Conference in Austria, and the committee wanted to show him what they thought of him. He was wonderfully impressed with the reception as well as the splendid type of men present. In addition to the committee were several of the city pastors and other prominent men. We were favored also by the presence of Dr. George Edmond Haynes of the National Inter-Racial Committee and Secretary of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ of America, and Dr. J. T.

Both gentlemen made fitting and impressive remarks, "WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO WORK ON THE NEW BUILDING?" This question is asked of us a hundred times a day. It was answered by Mr. Lute Monday evening as definitely as it is possible to answer it at this time. He said that a conference of the executive committee had just been held, and that it was decided to begin tearing down the present old buildings as soon as office space can be found elsewhere. The architects are now revising the plans, after which they will be sent to the New York office for final investigations, and that work should be begun on the new building not later than Sept. 1st, so far as the present outlook is concerned.

R ADVERTISER EXCELLENT VINEGAR FROM RASPBERRIES If Properly Preserved It Will Retain Flavor Indefinitely. Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture. An excellent vinegar may be made from raspberries which will retain indefinitely the odor and flavor if properly preserved. Experiments carried out in the bureau of chemistry of the United States Department of Agriculture, have shown that this delicious vinegar can be made in the home when the garden affords a liberal supply of this fruit. Vinegar made from raspberries is dark in color. Samples made in the bureau of chemistry and properly bottled were found after three years to have retained not only the original degree of acidity but the odor and flavor. In salads and other table delicacies the raspberry flavor is very agreeable. A refreshing hot-weather drink can be prepared by adding a small amount of this vinegar to water, and leaping and sweetening to taste. Two fermentations, the alcoholic and the acetic, are necessary in making vinegar. The method is as follows: Use ordinary straight-sided open-topped stone jars as receptacles. With the aid of a potato masher, mash up eight quarts of good, ripe raspberries of either red or black variety. Stir thoroughly into this mash one-half cake of compressed yeast which has first been macerated in a small amount of the juice. Let jar stand in a warm place (about 75 degrees F.) and keep covered either with lid or with cheesecloth to protect from insects. Stir well every day. About one week is required to complete the alcoholic fermentation. The time needed to utilize the sugar in the berries completely may be determined by one of two methods: (1) Weigh the jar carefully each day and record the weight; when loss of weight ceases, the fermentation is complete; (2) test some of the juice daily with a Brix or Balling hydrometer. The reading of a juice suitable for making a satisfactory vinegar should not be less than 10. As the fermentation proceeds, this will decrease daily until it is not more than 1 or 2, which indicates that the sugar has practically all been utilized. The action of the yeasts on the cells makes it easy to separate the juice from the berries, squeezing it by hand through cheesecloth. The juice is then returned to the jar; and, to insure a proper acetic fermentation, a small amount of vinegar should be added as a starter. An unpasteurized vinegar is best for this purpose, but if this is not at hand, use any good vinegar in the proportion of 1 part to 4 of the fermented juice. Cover as before and allow to stand without agitation in a warm place. A scum or film will soon form. This should not be disturbed. The acetic fermentation sometimes takes place very rapidly where berries are used. The acidity should be determined daily by withdrawing a small amount of the vinegar by means of suction through a pipette or glass tube and submitting it to a test by the use of a vinegar tester, or in the absence of this, determining by the taste when it is sufficiently acid. As soon as the vinegar reaches a proper degree of acidity (it should contain 4 per cent acetic acid), the fermenting-process should be stopped. This is done by first filtering through paper or filtering-cloth, and bottling. Bottles should be well filled and sealed tightly with paraffined corks. PRUNE RELISH FOR MUTTON Recipe Given Is Recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture. Fruit relishes, especially those which are spiced or slightly tart, are excellent with roast mutton or lamb, and also very palatable when the cold sliced meat is served. Equal parts of raisins and prunes may be used in the recipe below if preferred. The recipe is recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture. 1 cupful prunes cut in small pieces, 1½ cupfuls water, 3 tablespoonfuls sugar, 1½ teaspoonful salt, ½ teaspoonful ground cinnamon. 2 tablespoonfuls currant jelly. Juice of ¼ lemon. Boll together prunes, water, sugar, salt, and spice until the prunes are soft, then add jelly and lemon while still hot, and let stand until cold. PEANUT BUTTER FOR SOUPS Recipe Given by Department of Agriculture Is Especially Popular With Children. Peanut butter may be used in soups to give flavor and richness. The following recipe for tomato and peanut butter soup, furnished by the United States Department of Agriculture, is said to be especially popular with children: 1½ cupfuls tomato juice. ½ cupful peanut butter. 1 teaspoonful salt. 1 teaspoonful paprika. 2½ cupfuls boiling water. Add the tomato juice gradually to the peanut butter and when smooth add the seasonings and water. Simmer for ten minutes and serve with crountons. Another appetizing soup may be made by adding peanut butter to well-seasoned soup stock or to milk thickened to creamy consistency. A few drops of lemon juice added to these peanut soups just before they are served. improves the flavor. TWO DEVICES USEFUL IN CONSERVING GAS Cook Enabled to Use Fuel for Shortest Time Possible. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) Two devices not essentially belonging to the ordinary gas stove are useful in conserving gas, points out the United States Department of Agriculture, because they enable the cook to Steam-Pressure Cooker. use gas as a fuel for the shortest possible time. The fireless cooker is economical if the amount of gas needed to heat radiators is less than that required to cook the article in the ordinary way with the burners turned low. The steam-pressure cooker saves gas in preparing tough cuts of meat, beans, peas, cereals and other foods usually requiring long, slow cooking Fireless Cooker. because it cuts down the time of cooking very materially. A tough chicken, which would need to be bolled at least three hours, can be made tender and palatable in about 25 minutes at 15 pounds steam pressure, which can be maintained over the medium-sized burner turned down. CRACKLING CORNMEAL BREAD Two Economical Ways of Using Product Recommended by Department of Agriculture. Two economical ways of using corn meal are given below. They are recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture. Crackling Bread. For each cupful of cornmeal allow three-fourths teaspoonful salt and half a cupful of cracklings, the crisp brown particles that are left after hard is rendered. If the cracklings contain a great deal of fat, place them while warm in a cheesecloth and squeeze out part of the fat. Pour boiling water over the meal till it is of such consistency that it can be mashed with the hand. Add the cracklings, shape into cakes, and bake. Crisp Cornmeal Cake. 3 cupfuls milk 1½ cupfuls corn- 1 teaspoonful salt meal Mix the ingredients and spread on shallow buttered pans to a depth of about one-fourth inch. Bake in a moderate oven until crisp. This will serve six persons. All Around the House Salads may be carried in a quart jar to a picnic. Serve mint or grape jelly with cold sliced meats. If corn on the cob is scored, it is more digestible. Always beat mayonnaise again just before serving. Serve saltines in preference to cakes with ice cream.

An agreement has been reached at Lausanne on all the outstanding difficulties in the Near East conference, and nothing remains in the way of signature of peace. Manitoba province voted against sale of beer and light wines in public places by a majority of 32,000. The referendum was on permitting the light alcoholic beverages to be sold in hotels with meals. Bochum is almost isolated from the rest of the Ruhr as the result of bomb throwing. Street car traffic has been suspended and all the restaurants, picture shows and other places of public assembly have been closed. Southampton police served summons on twenty-two members of the crew of the American steamship Leviathan, directing them to appear in a British court to answer charges of deserting from British ships in New York. France, by her own efforts, has healed her war wounds. She thinks Germany should do the same. That is the mood that prompts France definitely to oppose England's suggestion of an international loan for Germany, it was revealed at the foreign office in London. "I am confident, I am not worried." That was Premier Polineaire's message to the French Senate as the break with England on reparations loomed to threaten the peace of Europe. "France has need of England," said Polineare, "but England needs France just as much." Earl Haig, commander-in-chief of the British army at the close of the great war, in a speech before the Empire Service League in London, appealed for more powerful military defenses of the British nation. "An unarmed nation can keep neither the respect nor the friendship of its neighbors," said Earl Haig. Canton today is in the hands of 5,000 Yunnanese troops, who split with Gen. Hau Tsung Chi, chief military henchman of Sun Yat Sen. Following friction between the constitutionalist leader and his Yunnanese levies, the latter walked out of the battle line on the North river, returned to Canton and seized all points of strategic value in Shanghai. Bandits shot down a low riding airplane laden with a $20,000 payroll near Lima, Peru. They were foiled when the daring pilot brought the disabled plane to earth, after a sensational effort, and escaped on foot before the modern pirates could reach him. The payroll ship was driven by Lloyd Moore, a former mechanic on one of the NC flying boats which crossed the Atlantic. He was rushing the money from Lima to Canete for payment of laborers working on the government irrigation project near Cerroagul. GENERAL Joseph Lendet, salesman for M. H. Mann and Company, incorporated, wholesale jewelers of 170 Broadway, New York, reported to Detroit police that he had been robbed of $200,000 worth of diamonds as he was leaving his room in the Hotel Statler. Two men, with revolvers, accosted him as he was leaving his room, he said. Robert T. "Bobby" Jones, Jr., a sunbrowned boy from Dixie, became the open golf champion of the Shackmaxon Country Club, Westfield, N. J., at Inwood, N. Y., by two strokes in the play-off of a tie that existed at the end of the regular seventy-two-hole championship round, Jones took 76 and Cruikshank 78. Jones, an amateur of Atlanta, Ga., came into the title he long had sought on the eighteenth and very last hole, ending one of the most dramatic contests in the quarter of a century of golf contests. Trade, taxation, transportation and finance are the chief problems confronting farmers of the South, Dr. W. H. Walker of Willows, Calif., vice president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, declared in Nashville, Tenn., in addressing the Tennessee Federation of Farm Bureaus, in annual convention. Following its policy of holding ring champions to the letter of the New York boxing laws, the state athletic commission dethroned Joe Lynch of New York, as bantamweight titleholder, for failure to accept within six months the challenge of Joe Burman of Chicago. Simultaneously, Burman was elevated to recognition as 116-pound champion in this state. Dressed in boy's clothing and confessing, according to the police, that she had assisted in several holdups, Blanche Voorhies, 19 years old, was arrested in Chicago in an automobile. With her was Joseph Warner, 21. Police said they found a loaded pistol in the car. The girl said she had masqueraded in boy's clothing since she was 13 and that she had fled from her home in Plymouth, Mich., to escape her father's brutality. Six convicts recently made one of the most daring escapes in the history of the Eastern state penitentiary at Philadelphia. Several hours after the escape, six men wearing prison garb rode into Ogden, Del., in a red motor car, held up a farmer and robbed him of $200 and a quantity of clothing. Twenty-six Texas oil promoters, including Dr. Frederick A. Cook, former arctic explorer, were indicted by the Federal Grand Jury at Cleveland on charges of using the mails to defraud and conspiracy to make fraudulent use of the mails. THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS A BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR-EIGN COUNTRIES IN LATE DISPATCHES IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE WESTERN Mrs. Hazel N. Block, six months' bride of Dr. Harry Block, San Diego dentist, fatally shot herself at the family home in San Diego, Calif. Mrs. Block was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Berger of Denver, Colo. Thirty letters threatening death to Mrs. Wallace Reid, written to her manager, Edward Hurley, have been received from drug users in widely separated sections of the country, Hurley stated in New York City a few days ago. With the ashes of the million and a half-dollar fire still smouldering where the busy little mining towns of Burke and Mace, Ida., stood, work of removing the debris has been undertaken by the Hecla Mining Company and property owners of the devastated district. A conference of silver producers of the United States, Canada, Mexico and Latin-America, to meet at Reno, Nev., Sept. 4, has been called by Senator Oddie of Nevada, chairman of the special Senate committee on gold and silver inquiry. Mrs. Warren G. Harding, wife of the President, has been so worn out by accepting hospitalities extended by Alaskans that she has been compelled to take to bed, Mr. Harding informed an audience at Fairbanks just before he and his party left for Seward, Alaska. Governor Hinkle of New Mexico has issued pardons to Carl O. Magee, editor of the New Mexico State Tribune, convicted on the charge of criminal libel of Chief Justice Parker of the State Supreme Court and of the contempt of Fourth Judicial District Court. Two unmasked automobile robbers held up an automobile party consisting of Dave Trattner and L. L. Linfield, real estate operators, and their wives in the Wilshire residential district in Los Angeles and obtained jewelry valued at $10,000, according to a report to the police. American Falls, Idaho, has consented to plans for its removal to a new townsite as the result of negotiations by representatives of the United States government. The present site, according to plans, will be inundated together with 83,000 acres surrounding it, to make way for the construction of the gigantic American Falls reservoir. WASHINGTON A subpoena for former President Wilson, whose testimony may be sought in the Morse trial, was prepared in the District of Columbia Supreme Court at the request of counsel for the defense. Reports that Woodrow Wilson is contemplating a visit to the California homes of his daughters, Mrs. William G. McAdoo and Mrs. Francis B. Sayres, were denied by close associates of the former president. While Wilson's health permits him to take motor rides and to go to the theater weekly, it is felt that a 3,000-mile rail trip would prove too much of a strain. The wreckage of thirty freight cars were burned near San Bernardino, Calif., as a means of clearing the track after a Union Pacific freight train loaded with cement and coal ran away on the Cajon pass and, at a speed estimated up to eighty miles an hour, left the track. Two trainmen were killed. The Northern Pacific Railway Company filed suit in the District Supreme Court for an injunction against the Secretary of the Interior to prevent the threatened cancellation of a grant for eighteen sections of land in Wyoming. The contention is made that even if the sections are mineral, the government failed to make the discovery in time and may not now take them from the railroad company. A legislative program calling for adjusted compensation for World war veterans and affecting their rehabilitation, hospital care and insurance will be pressed upon Congress when it convenes in December by the disabled American veterans of the World war. The program is based on recommendations adopted by the third annual convention of the organization at Minneapolis, Minn. Commenting on the election to the Senate of Magnus Johnson, Farmer-Labor candidate, Chairman Adams of the Republican national committee in a statement issued in Washington, declared that "in a general way, the result in Minnesota was a voice of protest against conditions temporarily affecting the farming interests adversely." Agricultural conditions are bound to improve, he said, adding that the American farmer "can be depended on in the long run to support the cause of good government, sound economics and stable institutions."

Boulder. — The entire Mountain States telephone system in Boulder, both long distance and local, was put out of service by a mysterious fire in the basement of the main office here. Misses Myrtle Patterson and Olga Jones, operators in charge in the third story of the building, discovered the fire and through their efforts an alarm was given and the fire extinguished by chemicals. As all phones were "dead" Miss Patterson ran to the fire headquarters to give the alarm, and then returned to her post in the telephone building, where she and Miss Jones remained until removed by firemen. Hot Sulphur Springs—Carlos E. Stratton, former teacher of mathematics at the East Denver high school, was freed of charges of committing a statutory offense against Miss Virginia Gilmore, 17 years old, by a jury in the District Court of Grand county. The trial lasted one day and the jury deliberated less than an hour. Boulder—The Chamber of Commerce has petitioned the county commissioners for two patrols to regulate traffic in Boulder mountain canons on Sundays and holidays. Though no accident or reckless driving has occurred the increase in traffic, the Chamber of Commerce contends, makes it advisable that someone be placed in charge. Denver.—Plans to finance the Colorado Wheat Growers' Association, new co-operative marketing association recently organized under the state law, were discussed and formulated at a meeting between Governor Sweet, Joseph Passoneau, state director of markets, and George Jewett, president of the American Wheat Growers, Associated, of which the Colorado organization is a member, and a committee of five prominent bankers of the city, representing the Denver Clearing House.

CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS Denver.—Acreage in Colorado potatoes shows a decrease in 1923 as compared to 1022, according to the investigation conducted by W. H. Olin, supervisor of agriculture for the Denver & Rio Grande railroad. In the San Lulis valley the number of acres in 1922 amounted to 24,500, while in 1923 the same area shows 18,000 acres planted to potatoes. In the Greeley district 20,000 acres were planted in 1922, as compared to 18,000 in 1923. A similar decrease is shown throughout the United States.

Denver.—The condition of the open range in Colorado on July 1 was very good, averaging 96 per cent or the same as a month ago, according to the reports of the United States division of crop and livestock estimates. Moisture conditions are very favorable over most of the state and the outlook for a plentiful supply of grass and forage for the summer and fall is above average. The condition of sheep is very good, averaging 97 per cent compared with 93 on June 1. Cattle are steadily improving in condition, averaging 96 compared with 93 a month ago. Denver.—Bids for the construction of the Moffat tunnel will be opened publicly at 1 o'clock on the afternoon of August 25. This announcement was made by the tunnel commission shortly before R. H. Keays, chief engineer of the commission, executed another important move by appointing V. A. Kauffman, 31 Pearl street, Denver, resident engineer at the tunnel, to be stationed at one of the two portals during construction. Another resident engineer is yet to be appointed. Pueblo.-Wool growers of the San Luis valley have turned out the finest product this season to have been grown in years, according to eastern buyers. In the last two weeks there have been loaded at four Denver & Rlo Grande Western stations in the Saguache district, Moffat, Center, Parlin and Mineral Hot Springs more than 500,000 pounds of wool. Growers are receiving more than $200,000 for the crop. Pueblo.-Pueblo is to be made temporary, and in all probability permanent, headquarters of the Colorado Potato exchange, organized in Salida under the co-operative marketing laws of the state, July 11.

Pretty Things that are made at Home EVEN in such irresponsible and frivolous things as boudoir caps and dance hats, fashion lives up to its reputation for fickleness. Certain styles in them come to the fore like a flock of gay butterflies, flourish tremendously for a brief time, and are superseded by some newer whimsies—but not entirely neglected for there are always all kinds of caps in the displays. The favorite of today is therefore "among those present" tomorrow. Just now bands of lace or net or of the two combined, find themselves in the company of varied boudoir and breakfast caps. They are ingeniously made with ribbons and flowers contributing to their prettiness as usual. C 44.4 WELL WORTH THE LABOR Two of them are shown in the illustration at the left of the group picture, which includes a dance hat. Ing on the front and back of blouse. A narrow sash of the morial, tied at the side, furnishes the White point-de-esprit net and valace make the crisp headpiece at the top of the two pictured—which has the appearance of a hat without a crown. A straight piece of net is laid in plaits at the ends and edged all around with a frill of the val. Pink satin ribbon is tacked along one edge above the frill and ties in the back in the simplest of bows. A rosette of valace is posed at the right side. Black chantilly lace and narrow satin ribbon accomplish a pert and most becoming little affair that mere- A2 1 1920 CHARMING SUMMER DRESSES y suggests a cap but is highly decorative. A coronet is formed of the lace by sewing a gathered length of it to a band of ribbon which extends about the head and ties at the back or one side. The coronet is laid in folds at the ends and sewed to the band at each side, where a rosette of the lace is centered with a ribbon flower. Gold or silver lace with malines or shifton for the soft crown, make the pretty dance cap, requiring two wires to support the brim. Hats of this kind are worn by bridesmaids and require only a long sash of narrow ribbon and a little cluster of flowers for trimming. Summer clothes have a greater appeal to the feminine heart than any others, and it is with good reason. Women, and young women particularly, appear to best advantage in the --- lively colors and sheer materials dedicated to summer time and there is a feeling that no matter how smart the chrysalis of her winter wrappings may be, it is on the gauzy wings of volle, swiss, organdle and georgette that she reaches the heights of loveliness. In the two summer dresses pictured above the designer has gone to inspirations far away and long ago, in creating simple and attractive costumes. The dress at the left is a modern adaptation of a style popular in grandma's day. It is of lavender volle with short kimono sleeves and the becoming bateau neck. The only ornamentation, aside from the rows of tucks on the skirt, is the hemstitch- 12 ing on the front and back of the blouse. A narrow sash of the material, tied at the side, furnishes the finishing touch to this youthful frock. The little frock at the right offers a fine suggestion for one of many lovely bordered materials which are so attractive and often so hard to make up effectively. The design in the material is inspired by a pattern found in oriental weaves and the oriental idea is further carried out in the neck of the blouse, which is an adaption of the neck line of the eastern burnnoose. The frock is cut from a straight slipover pattern, has the short set-lr sleeves demanded by the mode, and a wide band of ulain ma- 1920s material sets off the figured pattern by forming the lower part of the waist the collar and a narrow sash. Julia Bottomley (©, 1923, Western Newspaper Union.) Plaiting Popular. The revival of plaiting is one of the outstanding features of this season. It is liked not only for the separate skirt, but for the many-tiered skirt which is joined to the plain bodice. New Gloves. One pair of long elbow gloves of silk has a fluted ruffle following the seam from wrist to elbow. Emphasizing the length of line is supposed to create the illusion of slenderness. Plaiting Popular.
