THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY COLOR CLAUSE TO BE STRICKEN OUT Kansas Senator's Bill Regulating Marriage and Divorce to Be Re-introduced Kansas Senator's Bill Regulating Marriage and Divorce to Be Re-introduced VOL. XXIX. COLOR CLAUSE TO Kansas Senator's Biriage and Divorce to Washington, D. C., July 19.—The active and organized protests of the colored men and women of the country, backed by numerous other organizations, have won the day in the fight to eliminate the color clause from the proposed national marriage and divorce bill. Led by the Federation of Colored Women's Club, groups of women from all over the country began piling up letters of protest upon the desk of Senator Capper, the junior member from Kansas, who is said to have expressed his amazement at the effective working of their organization and to have predicted "that if similar efficiency were exercised in the same unselfish way" most any legislation desired by the colored people could be secured. The bill which Senator Capper introduced last session was prepared by an attorney for the American Federation of Women's Clubs, white, and contained the following objectionable clause: "No license to marry will be issued where applicants are members of different races; that is to say, marriage between members of the white and black races or of the white and yellow races, shall be valid." While southern sentiment supported the clause, the bill it is said was prepared by a woman attorney in Indiana, the state which first sponsored the measure. Senator Capper will re-introduce the bill at the coming session of Congress, but during the recess of Congress he has been able to get a line on the reaction on the measure from the various sources so that amendments will likely be proposed to meet the majority of opinion as he finds it. There is considerable sentiment among members of Congress in favor of some such measures to eliminate conflicts in marriage and divorce laws of different states which now lead to many marital entanglements and much embarrassment especially in property distribution. In a letter to friends here this week Senator Capper takes the position that it is needless to go out of his way to offend the Negro population of the country in declaring the social line since marriage between whites and blacks is not forbidden in most of the states. $2,000 WEEKLY FOR MILLER AND LYLE IN NEW SHUFFLE ALONG Second Edition of Show That Broke All Records to Open in Washington in August A second edition of "Shuffle Along" will be presented by George White, producer of the "Scandals," opening in Washington early in August.

Memphis, July.—Like the Israelites fleeing from the bondage in Egypt, the Negroes of the South are striking out in masses in search of the promised or of a better land. Deserting their homes and packing their belongings in quilts and bags—leaving what they cannot so pack, and carrying them on their backs as they travel, thousands and thousands of Negro laborers and cropper-farmers have left former bitter associations and have followed the lure of higher wages and incomparably better social and educational conditions and facilities in the North; the land of promise. Restricted immigration has reacted favorably for the Negro by creating a market for colored labor in the manufacturing districts. They are traveling north as individuals, as families, and even as communities in spite of all that the white South is doing to hamper the migration. In the very face of the advice of Negro editors and preachers, who have been bought by the Southern planters and manufacturers to fight the exodus, the masses continue to move out of the southern hell. Railroad officials in Memphis estimate the movement from this point as 1,500 weekly. Every train has its quota. The situation is the same throughout the South. Saturday nights, always the night of nights with the race, find special trains bearing from six to eight hundred jubilant but strangely silent adventurers. Simple folk, used to endless toil and small pay in the cotton fields, their sole view of the world their weekly Saturday night excursion to the nearest village, have caught the spirit of adventure that has brought about movements throughout all the world's history. GARVEYITES WEAR MASKS (Crusader Service.) Baton Rouge, La., July 19.—Members of the "Black Star Line," as the Universal Negro Improvement Association is generally known through the South, flogged a colored woman here last night, and as a result eleven of the lawless Garveites were in Jail today and the authorities are carrying on a determined hunt for three others implicated in the dastardly outrage. The prisoners include four women attired in men's clothing, and all were said to have worn masks. $10,000 BRIDAL GIFT BLE PEOPLE'S PA RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, Wife of U. N. I. A. Leader Advocator of Calm Counsel "I Am Here to Tell You to Be Calm and Quiet in All Your Words and Actions," Says Mrs. Garvey. Washington, D. C., July 20.—Public interest is centering upon Mrs. Amy Jacques-Garvey, wife of the U. N. I. A. founder and leader. As a trusted and loyal wife of the imprisoned nationalist leader, Mrs. Garvey is making a strong impression upon thoughtful, fair-minded people. Reports coming to Washington from the East, the West, the North and South indicate that she is expected to keep a level head during the present crisis in the career of her husband. The conviction appears to be growing that Mrs. Garvey is an able, strong-minded woman equipped in every way to do a good work for the nationalist movement, by sweeping the dust of misunderstanding from the minds of some, by strengthening the bond of unity between the members of the U. N. I. A., by making new friends for the cause and converting some of its enemies. Makes a Good Beginning in New York Address "I am here to tell you to be calm and quiet in all your words and in all your actions. It is that attitude of yours that can help Mr. Garvey and not the spirit of vengeance," was the way Mrs. Garvey is reported as beginning an address at Liberty hall, New York recently, after saying that she did not desire to arouse the emotion of the audience. Considerate people who have heard and read this sensible utterance, attach importance to it as indicative of the splendid service the wife of the U. N. I. A. leader is spiritually and intellectually prepared to perform for the cause of which her husband is the leader and spokesman. Mrs. Garvey is further reported as exhorting the members of the U. N. I. A. to be cheerful and to conduct themselves with dignity and propriety on all occasions, and indicating by her words that Negroes should not cherish ill-feeling in their hearts towards each other. She has made the impression that her path to unity between the U. N. I. A. members and all others of the race, is one of love—not hatred, not vengeance and not strife. In this view, the wife of Marcus Garvey has already begun to create a sympathetic feeling for her husband, intensify the interest and loyalty of the U. N. I. A. membership and arouse and quicken the sympathetic interest of the public, in the future of her husband and the movement he has been fostering. MOB SHOOTS ONE OF OWN MEMBER IN NEGRO SEARCH MOB SHOOTS ONE OF OWN MEMBER IN NEGRO SEARCH Huntsville, Ala., July 11.—During a search for Risty Ford, a Negro alleged to have attacked a young white woman, Edward Reynolds, a member of the mob posse, shot and instantly killed Dr. Bernard, who it is said he had mistaken for Ford. It is claimed that Bernard had changed his clothes to a khaki overall suit, went through the bushes to Reynold's house, and Reynolds thinking that he was the alleged fugitive who had been reported to have been in that neighborhood, fired on him, killing him instantly. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1923 BISHOP SEES NEED OF BLACK PRIESTS BISHOP SEES NEED OF BLACK PRIESTS No Race Ever Converted Except by Its Own Leaders Is Statement. New York City, July 19.—Right Rev. John E. Burke, director general of the Catholic Board of Mission Work among colored people, preached a sermon here at the ordination of Father Joseph A. John, recently elevated to the priesthood at St. Benedict's Church. The director said that no nation or race had ever been converted except by its own leaders. "Gratitude and thanksgiving," he said, "are in our hearts today. You all know that I have been for years and years a staunch advocate of the necessity of colored priests in the United States. "We who are working among the eleven million colored people in the United States are planting the seeds. Thank God we can already see consoling results. I believe the harvest is to come from the colored priests in the United States. We need colored priests. We need colored sisters, and, thanks be to God, they are coming. Obstacles must be overcome, and prejudices must die." Declaring that "the white race has not the monopoly of the benefits of the Redemption—the grace of God can work in the soul of a black man as efficaciously as it can in the soul of a white man," he urged all present to "agitate in prayer for colored vocations. Agitate among your selves that the idea may spread. Agitate by cooperating with those who have taken up the work of educating young colored men and girls for the priesthood and sisterhood." Addressing the celebrant, he said: "Father John, we welcome you to the ranks of the clergy, and we press you to our bosom. Go forth to your divine mission with a stout heart, trusting in God's grace. Our prayers will follow you that He who said to His first priests, 'Go into the whole world and preach the Gospel. . . . I shall be with you unto the end of the world,' may be with you at all times, your inspiration and your strength and your reward when your day in the vineyard is over." Father John has a brother, a Dominican friar, in France, and a sister, a nun, in Trinidad, B. W. I. MAKING MOTHER HAPPY MAKING MOTHER HAPPY How many girls have noticed that there are periods in the mother's life when, from her point of view, things look gloomy, the work sags, and things go wrong generally. When the daughter notices such a time, even though she may see no good reason for dependency on the part of the mother, if she would give the sufferer an occasional loving pat, remark on the good meal she has prepared or even go so far as to smuggle home a gift of the mother's favorite candy or a bit of choice fruit; in fact, do any little loving act, it would tend to change the atmosphere and lighten the burden of the daughter's best friend. Mother too often is expected to do for everybody in the family without a return of any sort, although just the love pat, or a simple act of thoughtfulness would bring sunshine to the weary over-burdened, oft-neglected member of the family who really deserves the best the family can give. Try this plan, my young friend, if you are so fortunate as to possess a mother and thank God that you have some one to whom you can turn for advice and sympathy in your time of trial who never fails you.—Afro-American, Baltimore. STATISTICS TALLY HIGH DEATH RATE STATISTICS TALLY HIGH DEATH RATE Washington, D. C., July 20.—Statistics made public by the Department of the Interior which has jurisdiction over Howard University, show that the death rate among our people in the United States is 17 to each 1,000, or 70 per cent in excess of the death rate of the white race. The figures further show that while our physicians and surgeons only increased 633, or 23.07 per cent, in the last ten years, the number of undertakers have increased during the same period by 605, or 60.9per cent. Students of this situation attribute the constant increase in undertakers to the insufficient number of physicians to apply preventatives against diseases and to care for the afflicted, and claim that the only solution is to provide the necessary facilities so that our men and women may acquire the professions of medicine, dentistry and nursing to work among their people. The same laws of health and sanitation, they assert, apply to both of the races alike and the same safeguards, preventives and trained espionage of our physicians, surgeons, dentists and nurses should be applied to the race as are applied to the whites in the United States. Failure of our race, it is explained, to produce these necessary professional men and women is due to the lack of educational institutions, there being only two in the country graduating physicians, surgeons and dentists. One of them, Howard University, is unable to receive and instruct one-fifth of those applying for training, with the result that the number of graduates has been limited to an average of twenty physicians, twenty-two dentists and thirteen nurses annually during the last ten years. NEGROES GAVE A RARE EXHIBITION OF SINGING NEGROES GAVE A RARE EXHIBITION OF SINGING Thousands at McLendon Meeting Make Old Spirituals Beautiful Again. Augusta, Ga.—A typical southern incident, exhibiting the chivalry (?) of the well-born white man of the South has come to light within the past few days. Over at Williston, S. C., Dr. Blanchard is the leading white physician. His wife employed a colored girl named Geraldine Anderson. Recently Mrs. Blanchard misplaced a string of beads and immediately accused the colored girl of taking them. Without further investigation, the gallant Dr. Blanchard took the girl out into the woods and proceeded to give her a severe whipping. In fact, if it had not been for the screams and cries of his stepson-born to Mrs. Blanchard by a former marriage, who was fond of his colored nurse, the girl might have been killed. To add dignity to the occasion, a NO. 41. Doctor Whips Wife's Maids-Beads Were Misplaced - Wife Had Beads Doctor Whips Wife's Maids-Beads Were Misplaced - Wife Had Beads (From Greensboro (N.C.) Daily News) Greensboro, N. C.—The Negroes of Greensboro sang their way into glory last night. The thousands of them who crowded into the Greene Street tent to accept the invitation of Rev. B. F. McLendon for a special meeting for Negroes gave such an exhibition of singing as has rarely been heard in Greensboro, or anywhere else. They lifted up their voices, men and women, and sang as only Negroes can sing. They put to shame every white choir that has been at the McLendon meetings. They took the songs of the white people and using their own natural intonation, entirely different from the white intonation, they made of them new hymns of praise. An then they left the white hymns and returned to their own spirituals, and here all else was forgotten in the sheer beauty of sound and spirit that poured forth. The Negroes broke suddenly into the rolling "Steal Away." Led by two of their own race they stood up and sang and sang and sang. They wouldn't be stopped. Whenever the song neared its end, fresh voices would pick it up again and again while the large white congregation listened enthralled. Then "Shine on Me" and then, by special request the old favorites, "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot," and here again they made such music as seldom comes to this town. They didn't need any leaders; they didn't require anybody to tell them what to do. They knew what to do and they did it. They sang their hearts out. Even that wasn't all. After the sermon they took up "In My Heart," and while the congregation filed out the choir of some 500 stood and sang for nearly thirty minutes longer. They didn't want to quit and they wouldn't until sheer exhaustion compelled them to "I want to have somebody outline a hymn," Mr. McClendon said suddenly, just before the sermon. "One of you preachers come up here and outline it for us." An old Negro preacher jumped up into the pulpit, opened a hymn book and read the hymn entirely through. Then he started at the first stanza and read two lines. The choir took it away from him and sang the whole verse. He moved to the second verse, read two lines again, and again the full chorus lifted it up; and so on through the hymn. "That's outlinin' for you," said the evangelist. magistrate was present and witnessed the whipping. Then—when the doctor, the magistrate, the step-son and the victim, returned to the house, the wife announced that the beads had been found just where she had mislaid them. As an evidence of his humane feeling and civilized character, the doctor dressed the poor girl's sacrificed back, then announced with brave and courageous soul, that he would like to see the Negroes help themselves. And this announcement he made to a Negro. HASN'T THAT YOUNG MAN, PROPOSED TO YOU YET? I MUST KNOW HIS INTENTIONS OH!

YES, AN' GOOD MORNIN' TOO, YOUNG TIME KILLER GOOD NIGHT! THAT'S MY ANSWER WYOMING FLOODS SUBMERGE TOWNS BURLINGTON TRAFFIC IS DEMORALIZED AND YELLOWSTONE PARK ROAD BLOCKED DAMAGE IS $1,500,000 LOUDBURSTS FLOOD THERMOPOLIS AND BONNEVILLE, TRACKS WASHED OUT Casper, Wyo.—With unofficial estimates placing damage at close to $1,500,000, the district to the west and northwest of Casper extending as far northwest as Thermopolis, is attempting to recover from effects of cloud-bursts and subsequent floods in this section. Although estimates of actual damage to the Burlington Railroad are hard to make because of so many wires being down west of Arminto, it is said that damage between Arminto and Thermopolis, a stretch of some eighty miles, will be $750,000. Despite the high total damage, no loss of life was reported. The Burlington reported three steel bridges out, one a mile southeast of Thermopolis, which was carried 300 yards down stream, one a mile east of Bonneville, and one west of Lysite. No trace of the steel girders was found at the Lysite trestle. The Northwestern railroad also reported many bridges out west of Casper. No trouble was being experienced by either railroad east of here. The only way tourists may motor from here to Yellowstone park is to take the road to Buffalo and then go over to Worland and thence northwest to the park. A rancher by the name of Gibbs and his family had a narrow escape from death in the flood waters. When the wall of water swept down on their ranch, six miles west of Lysite, they saved themselves by climbing into a tall tree. Water was twenty-five feet deep in this locality. Burlington railroad officials said that it was doubtful if regular passenger traffic between here and Billings, via Thermopolis, could be resumed for nearly six weeks, so great is damage. The water reached to within a few inches of the rails in front of the Burlington depot at Thermopolis, this depot being one of the highest spots in Thermopolis. The power plant at Boysen, which supplies power and electricity to Thermopolis, Shoshoni and Boysen, was under water so that these towns were without lights or power. The entire town of Bonneville, division point of the Burlington, was swamped with water two to five feet in depth. Four or five homes and railroad buildings were washed down the stream and others were gutted with water. The depot platform at Bonneville was washed away, and the main line of the Burlington at Bonneville, all yard tracks and trackage for two and one-fourth miles west were washed out. Sentenced to Sleep in Morgue Lima, Ohio.—Charles Voorhees, 60 years old, father of six children, decided a few days ago to kill himself by standing in the middle of the Pine street car tracks. Police Judge Emmett Jackson fined him $15 and sentenced him to serve twenty-four hours in the morgue. Denycr Priest Found Guilty Denver.—The Rev. Walter A. Grace, former pastor of the Shrine of St. Anne, at Arvada, Colo., was found guilty by a jury in the Federal District Court. He was tried on a charge of having forged the name of the sister superior of the Mullen Home for the Aged to an application for a government permit for the shipment of whisky into Colorado. The penalty is one to five years in the federal penitentiary and a fine not to exceed $10,000. Attorneys for the priest immediately made a motion for a new trial and also asked for an arrest of judgment. Calls for Court Vote in 1924 New York.-Senator Hiram Johnson of California declared that America should stay out of the world court and the league of nations and insisted that the nation's foreign policy should be decided at the polls in 1924. Senator Johnson, who returned a few days ago from Europe, where he talked with leading statesmen of many countries, expressed his views at a dinner given in his honor here. Mabel Normand Threatened Oakland, Calif.—Three threatening letters, signed "Edward Sands," and stating that the writer was the slayer of William Desmond Taylor, motion picture director of Los Angeles, were forwarded to the police of Los Angeles after having been received by a private detective agency here. The letters threaten the lives of Mabel Normand, motion picture star, and Mack Sennett, motion picture director. The letters bore the postmark of Martinez, Calif., and the authorities of that place have been notified.

Oklahoma City, Okla. Latin Words in English Language. Nearly one-third of the words in the English language are of Latin origin. Anglo-Saxon was spoken in England until the coming of William the Conqueror in 1066. With the Norman invasion came the introduction of French into the English language. Several thousand of the French words were Latin with a few alterations. Later a still larger number of Latin words were introduced into the English language. An English swallow with a ring on its leg, placed there in England, was found dead recently near Johannesburg, South Africa, according to H. F. Witherby of London, who said this is the seventh swallow known to have flown from England to South Africa. It is not known how long the birds take to make the trip, but it is supposed they travel leisurely, covering 8,000 to 10,000 miles each lap. When Furniture Is Scratched.

EST DIPLOMAT IN EUROPE AT CONFERENCE Lausanne.—The treaty of Lausanne, re-establishing peace in the Near East, now bears the signatures of Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Greece, Rumania and Turkey. Simple ceremonies, marking the termination of negotiations which have extended over many months, were carried out in the main hall of Lausanne university and when the representatives of the various nations, led by Ismet Pasha, had affixed their signatures, President Scheurer of the Swiss confederation, declared the session adjourned, with the admonition: "Let the closing thought be a benediction." An impressive demonstration, acclaiming the signing of peace, occurred in Lausanne. By the treaty Turkey regains eastern Thrace and becomes the bridge between the East and the West. It joins the League of Nations in the footing of equality. Constantinople goes definitely to Turkey. All foreign troops will be withdrawn. The treaty makes peace between Greece and Turkey. It permits the patriarch of the Greek Orthodox church to remain in Constantinople. It launches one of the most stupendous and in some ways the most cruel human movements in history by its compulsory exchange of population, the Greeks in Turkey returning to Greece and the Turks in Greece returning to Turkey. It fails to solve the Armenian problem, Armenians being obliged to find new havens. It reduces Turkey's size by its recognition of detached mandated states like Syria, Mesopotamia and Palestine. With one stroke of the pen it rids Turkey of judicial capitulations such as China sought to accomplish for itself at Washington and which Japan achieved only after two decades of struggle. In only one way is Turkey treated differently from other countries; foreign legal advisers will be empowered to receive complaints relating to arrests and imprisonment of foreigners. The American diplomatic representatives, headed by John C. Grew, minister to Switzerland, were prominent in all the sessions of the conference. As observers they played a dominating role in the last phases. Attempts to gain preferential treatment in the future of economic contracts for foreign companies were defeated as was also the efforts to validate disputed British concessions in the petroleum fields of Mesopotamia. The Turco-Greek war produced a great soldier—Ismet Pashn—who, in the negotiations here has shown himself to be one of the great statesmen of Europe. Ismet worseted the celebrated Lord Curzon, British secretary of state for foreign affairs, at the first stage of the Lausanne conference. Jugo-Slavia announced at the last minute her refusal to sign on the ground that to do so would be harmful to her national interests. Turkey has been at war for twelve years and conclusion of the Lausanne negotiations gives her sorely needed opportunity for a period of national reconstruction and development. Turkey, although vanquished in the World war as an ally of Germany, came to the council table at Lausanne as a victorious nation. Turkey's reconstructed armies had completely routed the Greek forces. Seven Wounded in Riot Ellenville, N. Y.—One prisoner is dead and one guard dying and seven other guards are more or less seriously injured as the result of a riot at the supper hour in the mess hall of the home for mental delinquents in Napanoch; two miles from here. Phillip Sasso, a Porto Rican negro, leader of the riot, died from a fractured skull when he fell to the concrete floor. Jesse Christsana, a guard of Ellenville, was hit on the head with a stool during the riot and suffered a fractured skull. Little hope is held for his recovery.

DENVER AS HOST DURING the week just closing Denver has been host to the Grand Chapter of the O. E. S., a noble hearted gathering of women imbued with high purposes and noble aims. Many delegates were in attendance and spoke glowingly of the royal manner in which they were entertained. In this regard it might be well to observe that this is an unusual convention year, even for a city as popular as Denver. Early in June we had with us the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, another fine set of women who, by plain, yet purposeful efforts have wrought mightily for exalted womanhood in the West. Only a short time ago Denver played the part of host to the C. M. E. conference, a body that brought many brilliant characters to our city. Eminent church men and leaders attended this conference and we are still enjoying beneficial results from the contact. Following the present Grand Chapter gathering it will next be our portion to entertain the annual grand lodge session of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, and then late in August the Rocky Mountain A. M. E. Conference will open here. We call these events to mind for the simple reason that a vast deal of good may grow out of these annual gatherings if we will only exact it. A great influential body, such as the A. M. E. Conference, or C. M. E. Conference surely should add in large volume to our spiritual betterment and even be the source of a revival that will give us strength and power. The coming into our midst of well known and respected fraternal orders are also of material benefit to any community. The man who is a good Odd Fellow or Mason or K. of P. is most invariably a good citizen, and the woman who honorably wears the pin of an Eastern Star is capable of contributing to the uplift and welfare of any community. So in throwing open the doors of our homes and bidding welcome to those who find in Denver an ideal convention city, we do credit to our selves and honor to great movements designed to bless the human family. EDUCATION NECESSARY TO INTELLIGENT USE OF THE BALLOT THE present torrid spell of weather is hardly seasonable for a preachment on political issues and yet developments regarding things of state continue to crowd in so rapidly these days that one must take note of them, even at the risk of becoming overheated in the effort. The swing of President Harding around the country, leaves but one interpretation possible, i.e., the feeling out of the political pulse in various parts of the U. S. President Harding is a shrewd, astute politician, one who realizes that the huge majority received by him in 1920 can easily be wiped out should a wave of discontent gather strength and momentum as now seems likely. We are but a short distance from the next national election and never was there greater uncertainty as to issues. The one thing that everybody can see and sense is that the Republican party is going to be put on the defense from the very start. Radicalism is in the air, which rightly interpreted, means that a goodly sized portion of the electorate are waiting and ready to accept any political nostrum that comes along, just so it is a slap at the party in power. Wise leaders in the ranks of the Republican party have observed this tendency and are sounding the alarm from high places. The recent Minnesota election carries a deeper significance than is generally supposed in its bearing on the next campaign. The United States Senate is nearing radical control and we fear for the party in power if many more special elections be held before November, 1924. The administration bark is encountering rough waves and its sails are being torn by many breezes from malcontents and disturbers. There is a tendency to close ranks, hold party counsels and to spread the gospel of harmony, essential to success next year. Last Saturday the Lincoln Republican Club gave a basket picnic at Washington Park in which the principal speakers sought to outline party policies that may add to the possibilities of success next year. It must be conceded that the party has a big task ahead of it and their party managers must not be narrow in observations. We must speak from the standpoint of Race now and insist upon being given a voice and our wishes consulted in any plans for 1924. The fact might as well be faced that the Republican or any other party bidding for the Negro vote must do so from the high ground of a righteous consideration of the things affecting us today rather than a hackneyed reference to a record of fifty years ago. The farmer, usually counted Republican, has shown that he can revolt and by joining hands with certain groups of labor, form a combination that may play havoc in the most hide-bound Republican states. Hence we hear on all sides that something must be done and done immediately to improve the condition of the farming interests and to meet more readily the insistent demands of labor. Plainly speaking something must take place to hold these two powerful units in line, especially in pivotal states. So far nothing of import has been said about the Negro vote. Let us be emphatic in the declaration that the color of a man's skin no longer pre-supposes his political affiliations. The Republican party has been our natural haven and the party of our choice in that it more ideally met the conditions necessary to our advancement in years gone by. But we insist upon the continuation of those principles assuring equal opportunity and justice to all Americans. We want the Tuskegee situation cleared up in the only manner in which it can be settled rightly. The administration must take a firm stand between governmental authority and the Ku Klux Klan; the mandates of the powers at Washington must either be respected and enforced or the throne of the invisible empire be exalted in the southland. In the latter contingency the Harding administration will be again placed in a pitiful, defensive plight. The Republican party to win at the polls next year must have the Negro vote and more Negroes will vote at the next election than ever before. The South has yielded up thousands of citizens to Northern communities where their votes will be counted. Many of these citizens will vote for the first time and it is none too early to begin a campaign of education. They have come North with a discontented mind. Lest they may join the great armies of unrest and labor agitators in the large cities a definite policy of reaching them must be adopted. It is the very apex of folly and sometimes spells disaster for a party to assume that its farmer allies, labor supporters and industrial leaders need a campaign of education from election to election, while a four week's campaign among Negroes is sufficient to "hold them in line." Our vote next year will be largely influenced by what is being done for us now. The Lincoln Club of Denver and white Republican organizations will gain a better knowledge of our point of view if in their monthly or other meetings they will invite some of our leaders to address them and thus place our problems before them NOW. 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.

NOTES A letter from Pittsburgh states that the opening of the splendid new $200,000 building has been delayed owing to the failure of our colored people there to raise their quota of the fund. The building was completed two months ago. We are glad that our people in Denver have already seen to it that no such condition shall overtake them, when once our new building has been begun, through any failure on their part to raise their quota. Pittsburgh's present plight is also a warning to those whose subscriptions are due and are yet unpaid as well as to those who are yet to come due. Next month (August) is the regular time for the expiration of our pledges. It is hoped that our subscribers who have not yet paid their pledges, and those whose pledges come due in August, will see to it that they are paid. We are urging this because of the importance it will have on the work when once the building has begun, as will, also the fact that the reputation of our group is at stake in this matter. Let us see to it that the joy rides and the good times are deferred for a week or two until our pledges are paid. Good times and joy rides abide forever; our building funds we need at once. Mr. Robert B. DeFrantz of the International Committee is due in the city on August 24th, remaining with us over Sunday the 26th. Plans are being made to make Mr. DeFrantz's coming a closing feature of our subscription collecting campaign. Announcement of this fact will take place from time to time as the plans develop. The regular monthly meeting of the Committee of Management will be held next Wednesday evening, August 1, at 8 o'clock. We see no reason why every member should not make it his business to be here. We hope he may. Added to our newspaper files this week are the following: The Bystander (Des Moines), California Eagle, Chicago Enterprise, Savannah Journal and Michigan State News.

CHURCH NOTES Reverend C. E. Chapman, Minister Last Sunday was the occasion of two very splendid services; and the hour in the Sunday School was fraught with the usual information and inspiration. All present at the Sunday School hour verily enjoyed themselves. By ALVA B. ADAMS. New U. S. Senator From Colorado. T MAY be that government ownership and control is the solution of the transportation problem, but I believe a further test of private ownership of the railroads, with continued government supervision, should be made. At 3:30 Rev. F. M. Liggins, minister of the New Hope Baptist Church, came over with his splendid junior choir and a splendid representation of his church. Doctor Liggins delivered the message at the afternoon hour to the delight, edification and inspiration of all who were privileged to hear him. The message had a telling effect upon the hearers; and the music by the splendid junior choir of New Hope was superb. At the evening hour of worship, Rev. C. E. Chapman, minister in charge, delivered the message. I favor the repeal of the Esch-Cummins law creating the railroad labor board. It has not worked well. It has served as a source of irritation among railroad men rather than as a means of soothing them. Its mission is good, but the results are not good because neither side is committed to abide by the decisions of the board. I am in favor of law enforcement, and that applies to the Eighteenth amendment. I am in sympathy with most of the economic purposes of the farm bloc, but I do not think blocs should exert their influence to the detriment of the whole, and I doubt their wisdom and propriety. Tomorrow (Sunday) there will be Sunday School at 2:30 p. m., Praise Service and Worship at 3:30 p. m.; Praise Service and Worship at 8 p. m. The minister in charge wil deliver both messages. I am in favor of an adequate and effective line of defense. We ought to be better prepared than we were in 1917. I am in sympathy with arms limitation in a general way, and in favor of anything that will make war more improbable, but I think the arms limitations treaty is less effective than the league of nations plan for preventing conflict. A cordial invitation is extended all church-goers. A hearty welcome is awaiting everybody. Visitors and tourists now in the city will find a warm welcome at any and all services. The international policies of Senator LaFollette and those who agree with him do not meet my approval. I am a progressive and I believe in eliminating the bad things in our government, but I am in favor of retaining the things that are good. The government should stop child labor of the kind that stunts the child's growth. The government should prevent working conditions in sanitary or destructive of the moral or physical welfare of the worker. Especially among women a far greater hazard of evil results from low wages rather than from long hours. BERKELEY, CALIF., NEWS The four weeks Church Vacation School at the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church closed last Friday with gratifying results.

The preservation of peace is of far greater importance than the success of political parties, and if the President and his party can promote world peace I shall be glad to support their efforts. I hope the senate will give its consent to membership in the International Court of Justice. Madam Ollie Redd of Cheyenne, Wyo., on her way to Los Angeles, Saturday, 14th inst., to attend the Northwestern Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, stopped over day and night and visited Rev. and Mrs. Muse, Dr. W. W. Purnell and family, spending the night with her brother, S. Hopkins of Oakland, departing on Sunday morning for her destination. Madam Redd is president of the Colorado Jurisdiction of Colored Women's Clubs. Result Would Be the Minimum Price Would Become the Maximum Price By GRAY SILVER, American Farm Bureau Federation. I am opposed to price-fixing legislation applying to farm products. Without the incentive or opportunity to trade and with no reason for organizing, the result would be that the minimum price would become the maximum price, for there would be no active force to remove it from its starting point. Mr. and Mrs. E. West have returned after a two weeks' tour in southern California. They made the trip in their auto, returning without a single accident. They reported a wonderful trip The farmer would lose all individual initiative, all ability and incentive to trade or barter, and he would become a victim of an automatic system of business and price fixing which would make him, in effect, a ward of the government, whereas by the present method we are seeking to develop a democracy that gives the widest opportunity to agriculture to compete. Pastor Muse delivered a wonderful address to the young ladies of the Bay Cities which turned out at his church Sunday night, the 15th inst.; in a program made up by them for the occasion. The Reverend's address was in the way of a sermon subject, "The Wedding Day." He was highly complimented by both the ladies and their mothers. If, in addition to having to meet organized groups who price their own products, were we to provide for governmental stabilization by the method proposed in any of the bills now in congress, the farmer would find himself between the arbitrary price fixed by the groups and the arbitrary price fixed by the government. Since he is approximately one-third of the total population, he would be in a position of having his customers, the other two-thirds of our population, after pricing their own goods, sit in with him and, with their majority vote, determine the price. Mr. W. Sweny, our furniture man, has purchased a new seven-passenger Jewett. PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Government by Blocs Leads to Class War, of All Conflicts Most Cruel Twenty-third Avenue and Washington Street Rev. C. H. Uggams, D.D., Pastor. Sunday School, 9:30 a. m. Morning Service, 11 o'clock. Afternoon Service, 5:30 o'clock. Monday—Bible class, 8 p. m. Wednesday—Prayer meeting, 8 p. m. Thursday—Choir, rehearsal, 8 p. m. By COL. R. W. STEWART, Address at Coe College. Government by blocs, carried to its ultimate conclusion, leads to but one destination—class war, of all conflicts the most cruel, ruthless and destructive. The bloc system is designed to favor a minority, a certain class, regardless of the effect upon the majority. It is history that no bloc or class has ever maintained itself in power for any length of time in any nation without resort to militarism and confiscation. Thursday—Choir Rebearsan, 8 p. m. The People's Presbyterian Church is always open to the community for the purpose of CHRISTIAN DEVELOPMENT and a hearty welcome awaits those who seek to know the teachings of JESUS CHRIST and the PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF CHRISTIANITY TO THE WORLD. The average advocate of syndicalism, communism and associated revolutionaryisms—and I do not exclude socialism—is at heart a shirker, whether he be of the study or soapbox. He aims at equality of reward. He would rob the children of the frugal to recompense the offspring of the profligate. SUNDAY JULY 29 The usual services will take place, afternoon being the Missionary program, when every member is expected to attend. The so-called intellectual of the pessimistic red variety contemplates the dreadful spectacle of a man earning his living by the sweat of his brow. He suffers vicariously for the man who must work to live. He dreams of Utopia where no man would have to work, or, at least, where there would be but little work to do. The Daily Vacation Bible School held its Field Day exercises along with several other schools last Friday at Cheesman Park. The children brought honors to the Colored Branch of the work by winning seven first, and two second prizes out of the ten events for the day. The second Musical Service promises something delightful on August 5.

He prates of relieving what he is pleased to call the proletariat of the dreadful necessity for work, blissfully careless of the biological fact that it was this some necessity for work which raised man from a situation of savagery to his present estate. Future American Army Must Be Composed of Normal, Virile, Healthy Men By LT.-COL. JULIUS R. KLINE, Staff Specialist, U. S. A. The watchword of the United States army is efficiency. To perfect an efficient defense the defenders of the nation must be 100 per cent efficient. Efficiency means men—real men—normal and healthy both in body and mind. Art and Bunk. "Art is bunk," says a learned college professor. We think he has been misquoted. The great truth he must have meant to enunciate is that "Bunk is an art." The nation does not contemplate training men to destroy other men, but it does seek to so train men that they will be able to defend themselves, should occasion arise, against other men who may attack the nation. The future army must be composed of normal, virile, healthy men. Avoid Idea of Fear There is nothing so ingenious as fear; it is even more ingenious than hatred, especially when its concern is with the preservation of money.—Bayle St. John. The nation, to maintain its supremacy, needs such men. The future of the generations to come demands real men to perpetuate the nation. We must produce and maintain men and women healthy physically, mentally and morally. Engagement Rings At one time the engagement ring consisted of three hoops looped together into what was known as a puzzle ring. On the wedding day one of these rings was given to the bridegroom, another to an intimate friend, and the bride kept the remaining hoop. The government aims to train men so that physically they are in truth images of their Creator; mentally, that they will be able to reason for themselves, and show a proper respect for the laws of the nation, and morally, that they shall so live and act as to be of credit to this nation, which has always respected God, humanity and freedom of all mankind. To this end the citizens' military training camps have been instituted. THE COLORADO STATESMAN Uggams-Cole Recital and Concert, People's Presbyterian Church Aug. 21. Wm. H.

KANSAS CITY CONFERENCE TO BE LARGEST EVER From reports coming to us and from accounts contained in the Kansas City Call, the thirteenth annual conference of the N. A. A. C. P. to convene in Kansas City, Kansas, August 29 to September 5, will be the largest in the history of the organization. Already delegates are practically assured from every state where a branch is located. It is hoped that Denver will send a large delegation to this most important conference. Denver has many citizens that usually visit in or near Kansas City during the summer months and it would not be a bad plan to commander them as delegates. Gay and Brilliant Functions Mark Unique Social Calendar Denver is known far and near as a large-hearted western city where the hand of welcome is always generously extended to visiting tourists. The summer months bring to our midst each year visitors from almost every state, a fact that calls for many social functions of a beauty and brilliancy that places Denver in a class by itself. The first of these exclusive events took place at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bryant, 2550 Gaylord street, on Friday afternoon of last week. The affair was of more than passing interest owing to the fact that it was the initial social function in the new and gorgeous Bryant home. Fifty-two ladies responded to an invitation of Mrs. Bryant for an afternoon of cards, and the handsome gowns of each blended most appropriately with the exquisite furnishings of this beautiful home. American beauty roses and sweet peas in rich profusion formed the principal decorations. A very novel feature was introduced in the dainty refreshments served in that the card party idea was amplified by ice cream individuals of appropriate design. Mrs. Jessie Roy was winner of the first prize and Mrs. America Turner was awarded second. Mrs. Bryant was assisted by Mesdames Thelma Terry, Hilda Woods, Katie Montgomery, Myrtle Canada, Frances Watkins and Miss Grace Walker. Mrs. Isabel Brown and Mrs. Grace McCain entertained lavishly last Thursday afternoon to a luncheon and cards at the home of Mrs. McCain, 2501 Clarkson street. There were sixty of Denver's fair social leaders present to enjoy and share the hospitality of Mrs. Brown and Mrs. McCain. It was a very pretty party with decorations of American Beauty roses, and huge bouquets of flowers adorning the house. The luncheon, consisting of three courses won the praise and approval of all present, reflecting the taste and genius of the charming hostesses. Mrs. S. E. Carey was winner of the first prize, Mrs. May Lawson, second; Mrs. Cora Jackson, third; Mrs. Vernal Barnett, fourth, and Mrs. Josephine the booby. Mesdames Viola Lyons and Ferba Gross assisted, and Frank Gross and Robt. Roy had charge of the serving. The Informal Dames gave as their annual affair this year a dancing party, which took place at Old Colony hall on Friday night of last week. It was a brilliant function rendered doubly attractive by the large number of tourists present. The occasion brought the season's prettiest summer frocks and proved highly enjoyable to the 300 guests that attended. A new chapter in the history of Denver's social life was written at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Walker, 2829 Lafayette St., last Saturday night when their daughter, Miss Grace, entertained for her house guest, Mrs. Myrtle Holloway of Oakland, Calif., and for the Misses Lee of Illinois. An attempt at full description would be futile for certainly no more beautiful affair has ever been given in our city. The house was transformed into a veritable fairyland through a generous use of Japanese lanterns, flowers and flowing colors of orange and black. It was in the garden, however, that the charm of witchery approached the climax. Here again Japanese lanterns vied with lights of many other colors beneath an overhanding grape arbor, where punch and ice cream were served the guests. Every detail necessary for the happiness of each one present was carefully worked out. The party was marked by an unusually large number of visiting tourists. Being strictly formal the handsomely-gowned ladies and well-groomed men gave it a richness in appearance that only Denver can boast of. Moore's orchestra furnished the music and it was well toward the morning hour before the guests welcomed the home waltz. SHORTER CHAPEL NOTES Sunday will be observed as the annual "Music Day" by the choir of Shorter Chapel when special music will be furnished by the choir assisted by Morrison's Famous Orchestra. At the morning service the minister will preach, subject "The Power of Music." At the evening service the choir will give a sacred concert. Strangers given a cordial welcome at both services. Mme. Gertie N. Ross, organist, Prof. George Morrison, violinist; Miss Frances White, pianist; Miss Dimple Gatewood, choir director.

Oliver H. Shoup, former governor of Colorado, though enjoying the life of a retired statesman just at present, still manifests an interest in all important public questions confronting the nation and the state. Governor Shoup was the principal speaker at the annual Lincoln Club picnic held in Washington Park last Saturday afternoon. There was a large crowd in attendance in eager anticipation of the governor's address. He dwelt with much emphasis upon questions of today that may confidently be counted upon as being issues in the next campaign. The one point upon which the former chief executive touched that was of particular interest was on the subject of lynching. He said in substance, "The colored people of this nation have been working for years, and rightfully so, to make the crime of lynching a Federal offense. I believe the time has come when there should be a strong anti-lynching measure upon the statute books of this country and rigidly enforced." This open declaration by Governor Shoup occasioned no surprise on the part of those who best know him. For four years he served as governor, and during that period our group were given a square deal in every respect. It was he who led the way to the flood of telegrams sent to western congressmen when the Dyer bill hung in the balance. Nothing will do our cause so much good as to have men of influence and leadership take a fearless stand for the right as has our well-known friend, Governor Shoup. A BARGAIN!

FOR COLORADO AND JURISDICTION MET IN*PUEBLO, JULY 18, 19, 20. The most successful Grand Lodge in the history of the Knights of Pythias of Colorado convened in the city of Pueblo, Colo., on July 18, and ended July 20, at 6 p. m., with much enthusiasm and encouragement for the ensuing year's work. A most hearty and welcome reception on the part of Pueblo citizens greeted the delegates and visitors to the Grand Lodge, and every one was made to feel at home.

A small portable oven used over a burner on the top of a gas stove effects considerable saving in gas consumption, points out the United States Department of Agriculture. Baking small amounts of biscuits, muffins, potatoes and other foods requiring high temperatures for a short time in a large oven wastes gas needlessly. Double walls and, if possible, some insulation should be insisted on when selecting one of the various types of small portable ovens. The oven burners in the ordinary gas stove oven may use 40 to 50 cubic feet of gas an hour when turned on full at the higher pressures. A large proportion of this heat is lost unless the oven is insulated between the outer and inner walls. Asbestos paper one-eighth inch or more thick may be used in small ovens, but larger ovens need better insulation than this. Low or moderate baking temperatures can be used to a much greater extent than most cooks realize. Preheating the oven often consumes 50 per cent of the entire amount of gas and is in many cases entirely unnecessary. Many foods could be started in a cold oven. STRONG DRAFTS ARE HARMFUL TO CANARY Songsters Are Susceptible to Changes in Temperature. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) Canaries are susceptible to sudden changes in temperature, and cold drafts may soon prove fatal, says the United States Department of Agriculture. In choosing a place for the cage, direct exposure to a strong draft of cold air must always be avoided. A cage may be placed on a small shelf along the wall, or suspended from a bracket attached to the wall or window casing. Swinging brackets are inexpensive and are convenient for use when it is impracticable to fasten hooks in the ceiling. When one or two canaries are kept as pets, it is usual to suspend their cages before a window, where the birds may enjoy light and sunshine. This is a good practice where the window is kept closed during cool or stormy weather, and the joints are tight. It may be necessary to line the edges of the window frame and the junction of the upper and lower halves of the window with weather-shipping to prevent drafts, and it is best to suspend the cage so that it will hang opposite or below the junction of the two halves of the window frame. The room must remain at a fairly even temperature day and night, and in cold weather it is well to cover the cage with a towel or other light cloth at night. A cage should never be suspended directly above a radiator, and it is best to avoid keeping birds in small kitchens, as the fluctuations in heat are perhaps more marked there than in any other part of the house. Exposure to damp air may prove fatal. The cage must be kept scrupulously clean if the canary is to remain in good health and free from vermin. The supply of water should be renewed daily, and the seed cup replenished at least every other day. The receptacles for these necessities should be cleaned and washed carefully at short intervals. Cages that have removable bases should have the tray in the bottom covered with several thicknesses of paper, or with heavy, coarse-grained sandpaper, known as gravel paper, that may be secured from dealers in bird-cage supplies. This should be renewed whenever the cage is cleaned, and, in addition, the pan should be washed in hot water from time to time. Lime on the perches may be removed by means of a scraper made of a bit of tin fastened to a wire or tacked at right angles to a stick small enough to pass easily between the wires of the cage. Cages with bottom attached should be provided with a sand tray that slides in and out through a slot in the front. PLAN TO USE STRAWBERRIES Sauce Which Can Be Served With Rice or Cottage Pudding Is Very Good. Strawberry sauce, which can be served with boiled rice or cottage pudding, is good, say food specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture. It is a good way, too, to use the wild berries that are sometimes brought home from a tramp through the meadow. Strawberry Sauce. % cupful butter. % to % cupful 1 cupful powdered strawberries. sugar. Rub together the butter and the sugar, then add the strawberries, a few at a time, beating until the fruit is mashed. If you object to the curdling of the sauce, which affects the appearance only, rub the white of one egg thoroughly into the butter and sugar before adding the berries. This protects the fat from the action of the acid of the berries. SKIM MILK HAS FOOD VALUE There Is Left All of Sugar and Most of Mineral Substances, but Also Proteins Whole milk, as every one knows, is an indispensable food for the young, and even in the diet of the adult it is desirable. For cooking purposes, however, skim milk is very satisfactory, although it lacks the valuable food constituent, butterfat. There is left nevertheless in the skim milk, not only all of the sugar, which amounts to about $4\%$ parts in every 100, and most of the mineral substances, but also most of the proteins. The last named class of substances is important, because besides supplying muscle and tissue-building material, they also serve as fuel for the body, as fats, sugars and starches do. Since the nutritive part of skim milk consists very largely of protein, it is to be classed with such food materials as eggs, meat, fish, poultry and cheese (though it is more delicate than those foods), rather than with such substances as sugar, which serve only as fuel. Two and a half quarts of skim milk contain almost as much protein and yield about the same amount of energy as a pound of round of beef. Whole, unskimmed milk has, of course, a more pleasing taste to many people, and those who do not need to consider the additional cost will no doubt always prefer it. Children should always be given whole milk. When used for cooking, however, the difference in taste between skimmed and unskimmed milk is not so perceptible, and there are many uses to which skim milk can be put in the preparation of foods. In the making of cereal mushes, for instance, the use of skim milk in place of water adds greatly to the nutritive value, particularly by raising the amount of tissue-forming mate rials. PROPER USE OF GAS STOVE For Best Results Burners Must Be Kept Clean and in Good Condition—Have Clear Flame. For good results in using a gas stove keep the burners clean and in good condition, and adjust the air shutters properly, advises the United States Department of Agriculture. The flame should be clear, blue and of uniform height. The screw on the air shutter can be adjusted easily with a screwdriver. The flame should be long enough to reach the bottom of the saucepan, but not so long that it will reach its side. The burner should be set as close as possible to the bottom of the saucepan in which food is cooking. One and one-half inches between the upper surface of the burner and the bottom of the pan is enough, in most cases, and sometimes less will suffice. However, the vessel should not sit so close over the flame as to touch the inner blue cone or core of the flame, for in that case combustion becomes imperfect to such an extent that carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas, may be formed. OF INTEREST TO THE HOUSEWIFE Remove tar with kerosene, then warm water and soap. Press ribbons on the wrong side and there will be no iron shine. Only paper plates and napkins should be used on a picnic lunch. Gilt frames can be renewed by washing first with vinegar and then polishing with paraffin. Mold your left-over vegetables in gelatin and they will add an appetizing salad to any menu. The Kitchen Cabinet I've whiled away dyspestic hours with crabs in marble halls.

Caviar Sandwiches.—Beat one-half cupful of butter to a cream, add two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, and the same of onion juice, salt and paprika to taste with four tablespoonfuls of caviar. Spread this on thin slices of pumpernickel, press two together and cut into long narrow shapes. Chicken Sandwiches. — Chop the white meat of one chicken very fine, then pound to a paste. Add salt and cayenne to taste. Cover one tablespoonful of gelatin with a tablespoonful of cold water, let stand half an hour, then add to it six tablespoonfuls of thick cream.

Cover with a good vinegar not too strong relicious conserve for winter: Stone dark, rich cherries of good flavor—be sure that they are sound and ripe. Cover with a good vinegar not too strong and let stand over night. Drain off the vinegar in the morning and mix the cherries with an equal weight of sugar. Allow to stand where it may be stirred occasionally until the sugar is well dissolved. Cover and set away without sealing. Green Beans in Salt Brine.—Take tender string beans and cut on the bias or diagonal so that more of the inner surface is exposed, dry after washing and place a layer of salt in a crock, place a layer of beans, then a layer of salt and repeat until the crock is nearly full. Press with a potato masher until enough juice has been extracted to form a brine to cover the beans. Cover with a plate and a weight and keep in a cool place. Sonk to remove the excess of salt before using. Pepper Relish.—Take one dozen sweet green peppers and the same of sweet red peppers, fourteen medium-sized onions, one cupful of sugar, two cupfuls of vinegar, one tablespoonful of salt, boil 15 minutes. Seal while hot. While the wild mushrooms are plentiful be sure to make some— Mushroom Catsup.—Wipe carefully but do not wash, fresh mushrooms. Put them in layers, well sprinkled with salt, in an earthen dish. Cover with a clean folded cloth and let stand in the warm kitchen for 24 hours. Now wash and strain them through a sieve.

All riches are desirable and we are justified in seeking them all; but the riches of mind and soul give the greatest happiness and add most to the value of life. HOT WEATHER FOODS During the sweltering months of mid-summer the meals should be as simple as possible. It is best to prepare as much of the day's meals as can be done, early in the cool of the day. THE LION Pressed Chicken. Take two pounds of chicken, soak until tender, season well with salt, pepper and if fat is needed, some butter. Grind fine crackers to make two cupfuls, add to the cooked chicken, with five hard-cooked eggs also ground. Dissolve a tablespoonful of gelatin in enough hot broth in which the chicken was cooked to make the mixture soft. Pour into a mold and let stand over night. Slice and serve. Garnish with parsley. This also makes a fine filling for sand-wiches. Veal or beef may be used as above or a combination of veal and chicken. With the tender green onions, crisp red radishes and green peas from the garden, eggs or bacon for breakfast, meat might, with an occasional pressed loaf, be just about forgotten in hot weather. Pies, too, are not always easy to make and are always a little hard on the digestion. Fruits, jello, gelatin, junkets, tapioca, sea moss, custards and frozen ice, mousses and creams are among the best for warm weather. A small freezer which may be frozen full with a little ice, then placed in the refrigerator until serving time, is most practical. Everybody likes ice cream and when berries are plentiful a plain ice cream served with crushed berries, is delicious. Orange Custard.—Mix one-half cupful of sugar, one tablespoonful of flour, add gradually one cupful of hot water and cook in the double boiler until it thickens. Pour the mixture over a beaten egg yolk and cook one minute. Remove from the fire and stir in one tablespoonful of butter, six tablespoonfuls of orange juice, one tablespoonful of lemon juice and the grated rind of the orange. Add the stiffly beaten white just before serving. Sweet Sandwiches.—Use maple sugar, grated and mixed with cream and chopped nuts, jelly, jams, honey and candied fruits chopped. From four things God preserve us: a painted woman, a conceited valet, salt beef without mustard, and a late dinner.—Italian.

As sandwiches are so well liked, easy to serve as well as filling and altogether satisfactory, we like to serve them in various ways and with different fillings. One need not go to any expense for sandwich filling; the leftovers make many of them the best kind. A small piece of ham, a piece or two of leftover beefsteak if put through the meat grinder and mixed with mayonnaise, adding a drop or two of onion juice or a shaving of a clove of garlic, will provide filling for a dozen sandwiches and the seasoned meat is most palatable. Chicken and Pineapple Soup.—Select a large very ripe pineapple, core and pare it and cut into quarters. Cut the quarters into slices and place in a soup tureen. Chop the core and parings and simmer them in a pint of water for an hour, keeping the quantity to a pint. Strain, add one quart of chicken stock and one-half cupful of honey. Cool, add the juice of a lemon and pour over the sliced fruit in the tureen. Place a large cube of ice in the tureen just before serving, adding a dash of white pepper. New Beets in Brown Sauce.—Cook one-half cupful of butter and one finely minced onion in a saucepan until the onion is a golden brown. Add one-fourth of a cupful of flour and stir until smooth; add one and one-half cupfuls of rich brown stock, three tablespoonfuls of tarragon vinegar and one-fourth of a cupful of ordinary cider vinegar with salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer for ten minutes in this sauce one dozen small round beets previously cooked, peeled and hot. Serve in a vegetable dish garnished with parsley. Cake icings for summer may be prepared with powdered sugar and a bit of cream or butter to spread over small cakes, cookies or layer cakes. There need be no sameness about the mixture, as chopped fruit, nuts or cocoa may be added to give variety. If maple flavor is liked add a few drops, or moisten the sugar with maple sirup until of the consistency to spread. During MAY and JUNE we will make a SPECIAL LOW PRICE On all work in our line.

R ADVERTISER NEW REGULATIONS FOR AIR FIGHTING ——THE—— ‘COLORADO STATESMAN DRAWN UP BY EXPERTS OF FOUR GREAT POWERS, THEY MAY BE ADOPTED SOME DAY. LATER CONFERENCE LIKELY These Suggested Rules Would Forbid Bombardment of Defenseless Cities and Would Spare Men Escaping From Destroyed Aircraft. By EOWARD B. CLARK Washington.*International lawyers, representing the different great pow- ers, have formulated rules by whieh it is hoped to regulate the use of alr planes in any possible war of the fu- ture. ‘The desire is to bring It as near the plane of humanity as warfare can be brought. Before long, it 1s belleved, there will be another conference of the powers similar to that which was held in Washington in the fall of 1921, At this conference it is expected that the airplane regulations will be taken up and sanctioned. ‘The question, of coarse, will remain unanswered as to whether the subscribing nations will live up to the regulations in case war shall come and the territory of one of them {s subjected to Invasion. Of course, if war does come, and the regulations are violated by any na- tion, it will be subjected at once to the denunciation to which Germany was subjected when it violated the terms of the treaty and invaded neutral Belgium. It seems to be believed now, however, by representatives of the va- rious governments that hereafter in war times the rules and regulations will be observed by every nation for reasons of safety if for nothing else. Germany paid the penalty of having violated a treaty provision—the pen- alty of arousing the antagonism of the people of certain nations who other- wise might have been favorable to the German cause. It seems from what one overhears in diplomatic circles to- day that the general feeling in all countries is that it does not pay to violate the canons of warfare. To Spare Parachute Jumpers. If the regulations which the jurists have drawn up are sanctioned and go into effect in time of war, there will be no more bombardments of defense- less cities and no more raining down of bombs on the heads of defenseless ciyillans—men, women and children, ‘The dropping ‘of bombs on unfortified places for the purpose of killing non- belligerents and striking terror to the hearts of those who escape never will be known again if the present plan is put into effect and is adkeved to by warring countries. In the regulations which have been drawn, there is one which forbids the occupants of an airplane, after it has destroyed a balloon or other airplane, to fire on the men of the destroyed alreraft if they had managed to es- cape in parachutes. After the armis- tice when the writer of this was or- dered back to the United States from France, he had In his command on the ship an American soldier who did not look to be a day over seventeen years of age. Of course, he was older than that, otherwise he could not have been in the service. He was a balloon man, and he had had three balloons destroyed while he was making observations aloft of the enemy's line. On these three different occasions this young soldier had escaped death by means of his parachute, but on each one of his de- scents he was fired on by the guns of the enemy airplane which had de- stroyed his balloon, On his last descent in a parachute the youngster was shot through the thigh, and he came dangling down “with a leg on a strike.” This time his parachute landed in a tree and the boy with a shattered limb hung there for an hour and a half before some of us comrades succeeded In effecting his rescue. “Visit and Search” in the Air. One of the provisions of the regula- tions which the international jurists have dravn up allows the men on one L of the People of| | Colorado and the} Entire West | A RELIABLE chronicle : of their doings and} progress; a faithful mirror | of their wants, their hopes, their best aspiration. ——_ | | /) Saaemee | | Unequaled as an advertising | | - medium for the business | of professional men and | | women.

This is like allowing the -erew of one vessel at sea to board and search another yessel, but there is a vast difference. A ship at sea Is fairly stable, while an airplane is a pretty difficult thing to board. ‘The provision reads like this: “Private aircraft are Mable to visit und search and to capture by belliger- eut military aircraft.” As this reads it would appear that un enemy airplane seeing another air- fane in the alr and not knowing whether it Is a peaceful one or warlike gne can board it to find out the facts. foday some daredevil airplane men jump from one plane to another, but it is “Hairbreadth Harry” stuff, and it would seem that unless a special train- ing school Is established for air acro- bats, few flying machines ure likely to he visited while they are flying. Secretary of the Navy Denby is to ask congress at its next session to au- thorize the building of elght new cruis- ers for Uncle Sam's sea force. If the eight ships are built, the navy still will be well within the mits of the agree- ment made with the other countries at the conference on the limitation of armaments. It Is possible that the secretary of the navy has a long memory. Once op a time, when he was in the house of representatives, he was a member of the committee on naval affairs, At the time Theodore Roosevelt was President of the United States, Con- gress had an economle streak well de veloped at that pertod, ‘The news liad gone forth that the lawmakers did not {ntend to make appropriations for any battleships at the forthcoming session. Of course President Roosevelt heard about this and he was disturbed, be- cause he believed that two battleships were an actual necessity If the coun- try was to keep abreast of the times. He thought the matter over and when he wrote his annual message to con- gress, the lawmalers were somewhat astounded to find that he had put in a request for four battleships, a demand which broke all records. It was reported, unquestionably truthfully, at the time that the colonel told a friend that congress always could be depended upon to compro- mise. Therefore he asked for four battleships and got the two that he wanted. Doubtless he chuckled over his sagacity, ‘There is a sort of a feeling in Wash- ington today that Secretary Denby re- members the time when Roosevelt asked for more than he wanted and got just what he wanted. Mr. Denby will ask for eight cruisers and it 1s possible that if he is given four he wil chuckle as Colonel Roosevelt did on another occasion, Navy Luckier Than Army. ‘The navy seems to have better luck than the army in getting what it wants from congress. Both are armed serv- fees, but even when the inclination Is against adding anything to the fighting strength of the country, congress will frequently stretch a point in behalf of the navy while refusing to stretch it in behalf of the army. This thing has been rather hard to explain, It always has been a truth, however, that mem- bers of congress from states which do not touch salt water have been just as much interested in navy matters as those states with big harbors and with communities which benefit not only from navy-building operations, but from the commercial activities which result from having navy yards within their borders. For some years the number of boys from the rural districts who have en- listed in the navy have outnumbered those enlisted from the great city dis- tricts by nearly two to one. There was a time when nearly all the naval recruits were obtained elther in the big cities or in the small towns along the seacoast. Now boys from the in- land states are found in great numbers in the sea service, They make good sailors, and It {s sald that more of them stick to the life as an occupation than Is the case with city-bred boys. Mostly American Boys From Country. In the old days recruiting efforts of the navy were confined largely to the cities. It never seemed to occur to the recruiting agents that boys removed from the seashore would care for the sea life. A change was proposed and was made. The response of the coun- try boy was Instant and generous. The whole nature of the enlisted personnel of the navy underwent a change. ‘Twenty-five years ago many of the boys who entered the navy were of foreign birth or’ of immediate foreign extraction. Today nearly all the re- cruits are native born and a very high percentage of them are of native-born parents. ‘The personnel of the enlisted force of the army has undergone a change also in recent years. There was a time, of course, when adventurous Americans entered the army for the life of excitement it promised them on the plains, but later the native Amer!- cans showed an indisposition to enter the army, and the regiments largely were recruited from the ranks of new- ly arrived young emigrants. The first sergeant’s roll call in the army 30 years ago sounded lke % roll call of part of the inhabitants of every coun- try on earth, In the‘eld days all that a man had to present in the way of fitness for service in the American army and navy was a good physique. Nowadays men are not taken into the service in any haphazard way. They have to prove something beside physteal fit- ness before Uncle Sam's recruiting of- ficers will accept them for duty. Sol- diers and sailors of the United States army and navy quickly acquire what Js called esprit de corps. They quick- ly get reverence for the flag and de- velop easily an obedience to the de- mands of discipline. THE A Wonderful Hair Dressing and Grower. 1,000 AGENTS WANTED.

Julia Bottomley (@. 1923. Western Newspaper Union.) --- EVERY woman who experiences difficulty in finding hats that are not only becoming, but fashionable as well, must be delighted with the present styles in summer hats. Wide as well as narrow brim deep and shallow crowns, poke and off-the-face shapes are all equally in good style, and it remains only to choose the most becoming of these to face the summer with the satisfaction of being properly hatted. In the group of summer hats shown below, the model at the top is particu- OOOO larly well adapted to wear at semidress afternoon and evening affairs. The crown is of black taffeta, trimmed with flat hand-made ribbon roses in pastel shades. The brim is of fine milan, edged with a narrow taffeta ribbon. For very dressy affairs the picture hat at the right recommends itself as a charming note in the summer costume. It is of orchid half-braid, with a shadow brim of georgette in the same tone. The crown and top brim are trimmed with wool embroidery and large flat appliques of stuffed silk flowers. Two tones of felt are used in the little sport hat shown at the left. The L trimming is of metallic leather, combined with gray wool embroidery. The vogue for black and white is evident in the model shown below. It is of white felt, with a facing of black georgette. Black-and-white yarns are used in an all-over embroidery design on the crown and top brim. The problem presented in properly outfitting the early 'teens is always difficult, but with so many designers turning their attention to the "awkward age" it is always possible to find something in smart outfits that modify the sharp angles of early youth and combine simplicity with that touch of sophistication so ardently devised by the wearer.
