COLORADO AND DENVER JOIN IN GREAT WELCOME TO JAMES WELDON JOHNSON, NATION FAMED RACE LEADER JAMES WELDON JOHNSON, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is today Denver's honored guest, and will be for one week. None more worthy has ever come to our city. None to whom the welcome arch opened more suncerely, nor to whom the beckoning hand was more earnestly extended. The Negro citizens of Denver cherish the very highest racial ambition and aspirations. The constantly look upward and onward. They believe in themselves and the greater causes of our common destiny. It is for these and other reasons that we hold to such unstinted admiration for the leadership, the ability and unpurchaseable loyalty of James Weldon Johnson. He stands for all that is just and fair in American citizenship and is a born Haitians and American Negroes American Negroes can find in Haiti a Negro country close at hand with an attractive civilization different from their own. And, if they will take the trouble to show their sympathy with Haitians, they may discover a field for the expansion of the rapidly growing Negro business in this country. In insurance, for instance, Haiti offers an almost virgin field. Transportation is still in a rather crude state. And though the country is primarily agricultural, agriculture and its allied interests are in an almost primitive condition. Almost any improvement in agricultural production which the practically trained American Negro could DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1923 fighter. He knows no compromise when such compromise means a sacrifice of manhood rights and honor. Denver thus is given a rare opportunity to show her true and genuine hospitality to a great race leader. Let the door of welcome be opened on every hand. Let us greet and meet him not as a great hero returning from conquering fields, but as a big-hearted man of the common people, one of us, as it were, willing to share our burdens; to weep as we weep, to struggle as we struggle, and to triumph only as triumph means equal justice and equal opportunity to all citizens. The COLORADO STATESMAN begs to voice the heartfelt sentiments of all our citizens in thus bidding welcome to our distinguished guest, James Weldon Johnson. make would be welcomed. Well-trained, English-speaking Negroes from neighboring islands appear to find Haiti an attractive field. At least two Negro church organizations of America have already undertaken educational work in Haiti. Their efforts should be increased and the work made more effective. Other societies may find here also inviting fields of helpful, disinterested service. It might be possible, too, for the Negroes of this country to enlist the interest of some of the great philanthropic bodies of America in work in Haiti. There is urgent need for large, well-organized, systematic work in practical education and especially in sanitation and health such as only the great philanthropic boards could handle effectively.—W. T. B. Williams in the Southern Workman. Hamptonians in Business Hampton Institute men and women to the number of 500 are engaged in the banking, insurance, real estate building and loan, or moving picture business, as well as in numerous smaller business enterprises. Many, both Indian and Negro, are in the government service as clerks, stenographers, mail carriers, matrons, farmers, and teachers. Twenty-four graduates are employed as clerks in the New York postoffice. Some are executive officers or directors of banks, or of building and loan associations, and several hold the important position of treasurer, auditor, or chief accountant at Tuskegee or other large schools. At least eleven very successful corporations owe their existence to the business sagacity of Hampton's sons. A graduate, who is editor and publisher of a weekly newspaper with a circulation of over 200,000, has recently moved his business into a $250,000 plant. Another is district superintendent of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia. There comes to mind a real estate man who has accumulated over $30,000 in a short period of business activity; a woman who owns and manages a large farm and has unlimited credit in her community; an undertaker who has stock in real estate valued at $40,000; and a clothier who is rated at $20,000. Scores of others could be mentioned, all tending to show the vast possibilities for Hampton men and women in the field of business.—Southern Workman. BOOTBLACK PARDONED Ossinging, N.

The letter, which is signed by James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., inquires whether it is the intention of the Veterans' Bureau to fullfill President Harding's promise that the hospital would be manned entirely by a colored staff. The letter reads as follows: "August 7, 1923. "Hon. Frank T. Hines, Veterans' Bureau, Washington, D. C. "My dear General Hines: My dear General James. "In today's NEW YORK TRIBUNE appears a dispatch from Montgomery, Ala., dated August 6th purporting to be an account of a meeting held by the citizens of Tuskegee. At this meeting after hearing the report of State Senator R. H. Powell, Dr. L. W. Johnson, and W. W. Kimball, members of the committee which conferred with you in Washington last Friday and Saturday, it is stated that the citizens of Tuskegee accepted a compromise plan for the personnel of the government Negro hospital suggested to this committee by the head of the Veterans' Bureau.' The report goes on to state that by the compromise, the chief physician and two others of the hospital staff will be white and the remainder of the medical staff is to be composed of Negroes. "On behalf of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People I am writing to ascertain if this report is correct. We are especially anxious to secure this information, in view of the fact that the late President Harding stated through his secretary in a letter to this Association dated April 28th: "It is the plan of the Director of the Veterans' Bureau, with the approval of the President, to man this institution completely with a colored personnel." "We would like to know what is to be the action of the Veterans' Bureau in view of the definite promise made by Mr. Harding that we may inform those interested in this question whether or not the promise of the late President Harding is to be carried out."

Klan Warns Squire for Mixed Marriage Magistrate "Marked Man" After Uniting White Woman and Her Dark-Skinned Lover Lebanon, Pa., Aug. 9.—Robert L. Miller, city magistrate and alderman in the Fourth ward, last week received a Ku Klux Klan warning in the form of a visit by two strangers. They told him they were from Harrisburg and questioned him about his performance of a marriage ceremony on June 28, in which the principals were James R. Johnson, colored, and Miss Mary C. Patterson, white, both of Harrisburg. The couple got a marriage license here after Clerk Strauss was confronted with the fact that there is nothing in the Pennsylvania statutes forbidding the marriage of whites and Negroes. First the couple asked a Presbyterian minister to perform the ceremony, but he refused. They next tried Alderman Miller, who consented after satisfying himself that it was legal. Declaring that Alderman Miller would be "marked" when he comes up for re-election, the strangers left a card bearing the inscription, "The Ku Klux Klan are here, there and everywhere. If you are interested, address Postoffice Box 120, Harrisburg." Garvey Entitled to Bail, Claim of His Attorneys Garvey Entitled to Bail, Claim of His Attorneys Washington, D. C., Aug. 9.—Concerning bail for Marcus Garvey, Henry L. Johnson, who with Wm. C. Matthews of Boston is retained now as attorney, says: "By every rule of law and reason, Marcus Garvey is entitled to bail pending his appeal to Circuit Court of Appeals for the reversal of judgment of the District Court convicting him. "The denial of bail to Marcus Garvey was in largest measure produced by the admission of illegal testimony; that is to say, the district attorney produced allegations that Garvey's organization had an arsenal and weapons for offense and that directly or indirectly his sympathizers had engaged in divers threats upon the lives of the trial judge and the district attorney. "None of this was proved but was allowed to go in. "Emma Goldman was admitted to bail on a far more serious offense than Garvey's conviction. Big Bill Haywood was admitted to bail, and there is no earthy comparison between the thing for which Garvey was convicted and the enormity of the charge against Bill Haywood. "In my judgment, the denial of bail to Garvey in the circumstance is far more dangerous than all the crimes ever charged against Marcus Garvey." in her death. For thirty-six years she was a resident of Mound Bayou, and she was a loyal wife and valued citizen of the community, active in both religious and civic affairs.

Berlin.-Passive resistance in the Ruhr and the Rhineland, which Chancellor Cuno yesterday informed the reichstag would be continued until France decided to create an atmosphere conducive to negotiations on an equality basis, is approaching the stage where its further maintenance along peaceful lines will depend wholly on the government's ability to keep the resisting population well fed.

"Then there are about 1,000,000 middlemen, and they fix the prices for the rest without taking into account the cost of production. The farmer gets 37 cents out of the dollar that the laborer, his best customer, pays for his products, while the laborer, whose best customer is the farmer, gets about 20 cents out of the dollar that is paid for what he makes. "That's why they can both get together on one basis; they're both working for the elimination of the middleman, who takes the rest of their dollar."

IT MAY be said that American citizens, almost without division, deem it fortunate if not indeed Providential that a man so finely fitted as Calvin Coolidge, succeeds to the arduous duties of the Presidency at this time. And the wholesome lesson to be gained from it, proves the fallacy of placing a weak but ambitious, and sometimes troublesome man on the ticket as vice-presidential nominee just to get rid of him. President Harding's death came at a time when the country felt his services to be indispensable. The government of the United States, like most governments of the earth, was greatly in travail. Yet notwithstanding we are but a week removed from a great national mourning, we are rapidly adjusting ourselves to the new order of things and looking to the new president to safely guide the ship of state over the turbulent waters. To a very great extent, it may be expected that President Coolidge will endeavor to carry out the Harding policies, especially in foreign affairs. However thoroughly resolved he may be on this point, the lesson of history is very plain that every president must have his own policies that he may meet exigencies of the hour, unhampered by the dead past. Ever and anon we are conjecturing as to the Negro's share in the new scheme of things. Candor forces the admission that the late President had not met the problems affecting us in a manner wholly to our liking. A determinative policy so far as we were concerned was not always in evidence. We do not expect, and certainly no one wants President Coolidge to develop a "Negro policy." We expect and only want the principles of the square deal applied with equal lavishness to all. What are some of the larger problems for which we strive? 1. The rigid enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment to the constitution along with that of the Eighteenth. 2. The complete, not partial, abolishment of racial segregation in departmental offices at Washington. 3. Vigorous support of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. 4. The adoption of a stern policy regarding the government hospital at Tuskegee, to the end that the institution be controlled, as it should be, by Negro nurses and physicians. President Coolidge carries with him into office the profound respect and confidence of the Negro race. If it be fully justified by official actions during the next year our support may be found solidly behind the man from the New England States.

In close connection we was now the governor of Oklahoma once again as state under martial law. Strange, is it then bringing about this drastic action of the gunowed memory by any means, and that the necessary to protect the white man against him one of a criminal tendency too long fostered in all of Oklahoma. Thus, with martial law afterwards being offered in another, and both the view with complacency the apparent approach much former dens of iniquity as Georgia and Oklahoma of each state has declared that mob vicious. WE ARE convinced that there is a Balm in Gilead. We are venturing no guess as to how it got there, nor as to the degree of its efficacy, but certainly some soothing element has seized the Southland these days that is as remarkable as it is spontaneous. The Associated Press dispatches of last Sunday carried a story to the effect that the governor of Georgia had offered a large reward for the arrest and conviction of persons that had resorted to mob violence in Macon. By way of enlightenment we may say that the victim of the mob's wrath was a white man. That of itself may have hastened gubernatorial action in seeking to bring swift punishment to those who would presume to take the law into their own hands whatever the offense charged. Naturally the finger of suspicion was quickly pointed at members of the Ku Klux Klan. Georgia, you know, is the breeding ground of klanism and who should know them better or be more able to gauge their methods than "home folks." Now comes the klan forward, however, with a great rush and offers an additional reward in order to substantially prove their "innocence" of any connection with what is now known officially as "Georgia Whippers." We are not in the least concerned as to who was or was not connected with the mob outbreak in Georgia; that is not the material point. It is of decided interest to observe, however, that the southern mobbing element have forgotten the color line, a natural consequence where the spirit is allowed to go unchecked, and is reaching out into ranks of its own. There may be a species of grim irony in the suggestion, but certainly it is not beyond the pale of possibilities that some of those who have recently felt the sting of the whipping rod and are now protesting most vigorously against its operations, may have been exceedingly active and enthusiastic in swinging on a rope or supplying materials for a burning when the victim was of another color. We are consistently against mob violence of any character, no matter by whom and against whom employed. But we do not confess to an overabundance of pious reflections and forgiveness when the southern white man is forced to swallow a dose of his own medicine. It may serve to "keep him in his place." In close connection with the Georgia incident comes now the governor of Oklahoma once again and places a portion of his state under martial law. Strange, is it not, that Tulsa should loom in bringing about this drastic action of the governor. Tulsa is not of hallowed memory by any means, and that the day would come when it was necessary to protect the white man against himself is but the logical outcome of a criminal tendency too long fostered and encouraged by the officials of Oklahoma. Thus, with martial law abounding in one state and rewards being offered in another, and both the outgrowth of mob reaction, we view with complacency the apparent approach of a better day even in such former dens of iniquity as Georgia and Oklahoma. The chief magistrate of each state has declared that mob violence must end. So say we all.

Education and a Lesson in Geography Last You All Your Life SUPPOSE the suspect did tell the truth under the influence of scopolamine, the "drug-that-makes-you-tell-the-truth" that created such a sensation in San Quentin. Would evidence obtained through its use be admissible in a court of law? No. Our system of law is accusatorial rather than inquisitorial. Men used to be tortured to make them confess. The rack and thumbscrew were used. The idea may have been at one time to get the truth, but the effect was to wring a confession from the victim. The use of scopolamine might be classed as a mild form of torture; but, assuming that it does bring out the truth, it would violate two fundamental rules of our common law. The first of these is that the accused person may not be questioned after arrest or during a magisterial hearing, and the second is that torture may not be used to extort the truth. In many European continental countries the magisterial function is inquisitorial. He questions the witness, heckles him, tries to wring the truth out of him. In the English common law this is not done; it is not possible. Under our system the accused man cannot be questioned either preliminary to or during his trial. A confession may not be obtained from a man unless it is a free confession, given without fear or favor. Otherwise it cannot be produced in court. No immunity can be promised. A confession obtained under promise of immunity can't be introduced. All that can be done is for the accused to be asked whether he wishes to make any statement, and even then the police official must caution him that anything he may say will be used against him. Indeed, we carry it to the point that the district attorney may not draw the attention of the jury to the fact that the accused did not take the witness stand. To do so is to furnish a basis for a new trial, and the higher court must grant a new trial. Under the effects of scopolamine you will get the false and true, the fact and fantasy bubbling to the surface. If a man in his senses cannot be made to talk, how can he be made to talk by robbing him of his senses. Taxicab and Automobile in Relation to Big City Street Congestion By PROF. JOHN S. WORLEY, in New York World. A pedestrian occupies and can move comfortably in four square feet of street space. However, it would be better to assign him a space two feet wide by four feet long, or a total of eight square feet. The average street space occupied per passenger of buses is three and one-half square feet, and for street cars is six and one-half square feet when all seats are occupied, and three and one-quarter square feet when 100 per cent overload is carried during rush hours. The vehicles most glaringly wasteful of street space per passenger are the taxicab and privately-owned automobiles. Taking into account the time and space occupied while unemployed, the taxicab averages less than one passenger. For convenience, however, we will consider the space as occupied by one passenger. This space averages eighty square feet, or ten times more than a pedestrian, or twenty-three times that occupied per passenger per street car or bus. In the same class comes the privately-owned automobile which may be said to approximate the same street area per passenger as does the taxicab. One of the very uneconomical users of the streets at the present time is the cruising taxicab. From the best information available it is estimated that 75 per cent of a taxicab's time is idle, being taken up either waiting or cruising for fares. Probably one-half of this idle time is occupied with cruising which, in values of street congestion, is 100 per cent worse than waiting at the curb. Consolidation Into Comparatively Few Systems of All the Railroads By SENATOR A. B. CUMMINS, in Address to Iowa Legislature. There is no man in this world who is more earnest than I am for the reduction of railway rates. I know how burdensome they are upon all industry, and especially upon a farmer who has been, and probably still is in many instances, selling his products at less than cost. There is but one way, however, in my judgment, through which the whole body of rates can be materially reduced, and that way lies through a reduction in the cost of maintenance and operation. The wages of the railway workers constitute about 60 per cent of the total expense of maintenance and operation. With the present cost of living, it is my judgment railway wages cannot be and ought not to be, in justice, substantially lessened, and they may have to be increased. We cannot control, and ought not to control, the price of supplies. There is but one way to reduce cost of operation materially, and it is by consolidating all the railroads into comparatively few systems, and while I cannot discuss that subject at this time I venture to say that with proper consolidation, and with efficient management, the railroads can render more and better service than they now render at a cost of $500,-000,000 per year less than they now expend.

But whether you go east or west, a trip across the American continent is an education and a lesson in geography that will last throughout the remainder of your life. We talk a lot these days about Americanism and the Americanization of various elements of our population.

Negro Janitor Copies Paintings of Noted Artists Negro Janitor Copies Paintings of Noted Artists Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 9.—Officials and workers in the Union Station here cannot believe their eyes when they behold a copy of a famous oil painting produced by Albert Jackson, a Negro janitor at the station. Going about in his usual quiet manner slinging the mop over the spacious floors his co-workers and other denizens about the station little thought that Jackson was fit for anything more than to massage the floors of the station. Jaskson just finished and put on display in the office of V. I. Bell, station master, a copy of one of Corregio's best known paintings, "Birth of Christ. In his surprise at the prevailing blue tone of the painting by Jackson, the visitor is likely to overlook the fact that the janitor-painter has done a very commendable job of copying. What actually was done was to copy a reproduction of a steel engraving. The engraving was done presumably from the original, by A. Lefevre. And that accounts for the blue color scheme. The painting shows the Mother Mary, Saint Joseph, a heavenly host hovering above, and, of course, the Christ-child. The unusual thing about the work of Jackson is the light is made to radiate from the child, gently and tenderly rather than from an earthly source. The copy is about 42x48 inches, and three months were required for its production. With thrift unusual in the profession, Jackson has set down the figures in the matter and finds that the paint used cost him exactly $11.50.

CARY ATTORNEY-AT-LAW Six years City and County At- torney at, Russell Springs, Logan County, Kansas. 2640 Welton Denver, Colorado WILLIAMS JUBILEE SINGERS SCORE USUAL BIG HIT IT was a large and highly apprecia- tive audience that greeted the Wil- liams Jubilee Singers at the Auditor- ium Monday night, and the program rendered was of decided merit and class. Every number was warmly received and it is doubted whether a more en- Joyable concert has been given in Den- ver for many years. The Rocky Moun- tain News of ‘Tuesday morning had this to say of the famous colored com- pany: “The weird, plaintive melodies of the Southland shared honors with the familiar arias of famous operas at the Auditorium last evening when the Wil- liams Jubilee Singers presented their Program to a large and very apprecia- tive audience. “The program proved unusually va- ried, ranging from the old plantation melodies, Negro spiritual songs, through grand opera and popular tunes of the day. ‘The most enjoyable portion of the program was the rendi- tion of the crooning, tragic melodies, expressive of the Negro race and ‘which were sung only as the Negro can sing them. The religious tunes telling of the emotion of a spirit-filled people were particularly well achieved and the selection of some of the best- known and most-favored, enhanced the enjoyment of this phase of the program. “The quartet was delightful and was led by Mr. Williams, not only a singer who knows just what he does well and does it, but a comedian of no mean ability. Mrs. Williams has the most soothing crooning quality in her voice and a merry twinkle that she uses to aid in the depiction of her song.” DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING COM- PANY FUNERAL NOTICES Jameson—George, late of 2308 Jasi- mine Street, the beloved son of Mr. and Mrs, Edw.

After tasting many essences we find freshness the sweetest of all. As dessert is valued for its decorative effect as well as its nutritive value, a little time spent in embellishing a dish will be very much worth while. Apricot Whip. — Take two cupfuls of apricots, one-half cupful of sugar, one teaspoonful of lemon juice, the whites of two eggs. Fresh fruit is rubbed through a sieve, the sugar added, lemon juice, and fold in the stillly beaten whites. If canned or dried apricots are used, soak them, add the cooked fruit to the sugar and cook five minutes; cool, then fold in the eggs. Bake in a buttered dish in a slow oven for twenty minutes. Serve with cream or a soft custard, garnished with cubes of bright-colored jelly. Peach Cup. — Take eight ripe peaches, two eggs, one-half cupful of milk, one and one-half cupfuls of flour, three teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one-half teaspoonful of salt and one tablespoonful of butter. Peel the peaches and mash two of them, add the well-beaten yolks of the eggs, then the milk and the dry ingredients sifted together. Add the butter, melted, beat well, then fold in the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs. Put a layer of this mixture in a buttered custard cup, add half a peach, cover with batter, sprinkle each with sugar and bake in a moderate oven for twenty minutes. Serve with whipped cream or hard sauce. Velvet Sherbet.—Take the juice of three lemons, two cupfuls of sugar and a quart of rich milk. Mix well and put into the freezer. Turn the freezer slowly at first, then when it begins to harden, beat quite fast. This makes a delicious smooth herbet that is universally liked. Tuna Fish Salad.—Take one cupful of tuna fish, flaked, three-fourths of a cupful of salad dressing, one-half of an envelope of gelatin, one-fourth of a cupful of water, one-half cupful of chopped celery, one green pepper chopped, one-half teaspoonful of salt, and a dash of paprika and cayenne. Mold and serve on lettuce. Frozen dishes are the most sought after during the heated term. There are so many kinds of ices, sherbetts, moussees, frappes and creams that one need not serve the same one many times. Grape Sherbet.—Take one teaspoonful of gelatin, one tablespoonful of cold water, one cupful of sugar and one-half cupful of cold water. Cook the sugar and water and cool. Dissolve the gelatin in the tablespoonful of water and add to the hot syrup. Let the mixture cool, add one cupful of grape juice and a tablespoonful of lemon juice, mix well and freeze. This will make a quart. Apricot ice.—Soak four cupfuls of dried apples in four cupfuls of water until soft, cook until tender. Press through a potato ricer to remove the skins. Add one-half cupful sugar to the pulp, then the water in which they were soaked and cook for ten minutes. Remove from the fire, cool, add the juice of three lemons and freeze. When partly frozen add the stiffly beaten whites of three eggs. Finish freezing.

One may have two or more fruits if desired. Banana pulp, prepared by putting bananas through a sieve, orange and lemon juice, sugar and cream make a delicious combination. Freeze as usual. Delicious Dessert.—Split a layer and spread with vanilla or chocolate ice cream, cover with the other half and pour a hot chocolate sauce over it; serve at once. Fruit ice cream may be used with a nut sauce or plain ice cream with a fruit sauce in the cake in the same manner. Rabbit Pie.—After the rabbit is dressed and cut up, washed and put on to cook in water with a bay leaf, a tablespoonful of vinegar, a sliced onion, a sprig of parsley and a stalk of celery, it is seasoned when partly done with salt and pepper. When tender the pieces are taken up and placed in a crust lined baking dish. the gravy thickened, strained and poured over the rabbit with one cupful of cream added. Place the top crust with a vent for escaping steam and bake until thoroughly done. A handful of mushrooms and a tablespoonful of raisins are added to the gravy before putting in the pie—by some cooks. Why man, she is mine own! And I as rich in having such a jewel As twenty seas if all their sands were pearl. FOOD FOR THE FAMILY A dish which everyone enjoys dur- ing the warm weather is: Chicken Croquettes.— Take two cupfuls of chopped chicken, one tenspoonful of minced parsley, one and one-half cupfuls of thick white sauce, add onion juice, a dash of lemon juice and celery, salt for season- ing. Roll in heaten egg Take two cupfuls of chopped chicken, one teaspoonful of minced parsley, one and one-half cupfuls of thick white sauce, add onion juice, a dash of lemon juice and celery, salt for seasoning. Roll in beaten egg then in crumbs, repeating to give a nice crust, and fry in deep fat. The croquettes may be rolled in various shapes or shaped with an ice cream dipper. Franconia Peaches.—Take fresh or canned peaches, add to the canned juice enough water to make two cupsfuls; if fresh peaches are used add a syrup. When boiling add one package of raspberry-flavored gelatin. Stir until dissolved. Place the peaches in a shallow pan and pour the boiling liquid over them, set aside to cool and become firm. Cut in squares or rounds and serve with whipped cream. Peaches may be decorated with almonds cut in quarters or halves, the pointed end thrust into the peach, using enough of the nuts to make it look like a small porcupine. Brown in a hot oven, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with cream and sugar. Pears or apples stewed may be decorated in the same way. Canned Red Peppers.—Wash and cut peppers into strips with scissors. Cover with boiling water and let stand three minutes, drain and plunge into ice water to cover—be sure that there is plenty of ice. Again drain and pack solidly into jars. To one quart of vinegar add two cupfuls of sugar, bring to the boiling point and boil 15 minutes. Pour over the peppers boiling hot, to overflow. Setal and store in a cool place. Maple Sauce.—Take one cupful of maple stirp, one teaspoonful of cornstarch, two tablespoonfuls of butter, mix well over the heat and cook until the cornstarch is well cooked. To give people pleasure in the articles they must perforce use, is the great office of decoration. FOR THE SUMMER GUEST When entertaining a number of guests in the summer, one enjoys a recipe which gives the number it will serve. The following is ample for seventy-five guests. ```markdown ``` Fruit Punch. Boil six quarts of water with two cans of grated pineapple for fifteen minutes; strain, pressing out all the juice; add six cupfuls of sugar, and heat until dissolved. Cool, and add the juice of a dozen oranges, the juice of eight lemons, one quart of fresh-made tea, chilled, six pints of grape juice. After pouring into the punch bowl add one orange cut in pieces, two slices of pineapple cut in bits, one banana cut in slices. Add ice and serve. A pint bottle of apollinaris water, added when first serving and again later, will give sparkle to the drink. Long-Keeping Zwieback.—Drop into a mixing bowl the yolks of five eggs without beating; add to them one and one-half cupfuls of powdered sugar and beat together 30 minutes. Two persons will enjoy this beating better than one alone, unless an electric beater is used. Add one-half cupful of cold water and two cupfuls of the best pastry flour sifted three times with one-half teaspoonful of baking powder. While mixing these ingredients add during the beating, a little at a time, the juice of half a lemon. Lastly fold in the whites of five eggs beaten stiff. Bake in bread pans well greased and floured, filling them not more than one-third. When the loaves are a day old, cut into half-inch slices and toast slowly until hard and lightly-browned all through. In the oven on a rack, is a good place for the toasting. Cool and store in boxes wrapped in waxed paper. Summer Salad.—Soak one envelope of gelatin in one-half cupful of cold water. When softened, add to one small can of grated pineapple, three medium-sized cucumbers and one onion all put through the meat chopper, add the juice of two lemons, a cupful of sugar, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt, and mix well. Pour into a mold. When chilled serve on head lettuce with dressing and whipped cream. Baked Salt Mackerel.—Soak the fish over night or until the salt has been largely removed, placing the fish skinside up in the water. Drain and dredge with flour, cover with rich milk and bake from twenty minutes to half an hour in a moderate oven. If the fish is not very fat cream may be used instead of milk, making a most delectable dish. Baste occasionally while baking. The fish should be easily removed from the bones when it is properly cooked. This makes a good breakfast dish or luncheon dish with baked potatoes. SUMMER DESSERTS value, a little time spent in embellishing a dish will be very much worth while. Apricot Whip. — Take two cupfuls of apricots, one-half cupful of sugar, one teaspoonful of lemon juice, the whites of two eggs. Fresh fruit is rubbed through a sleeve, the The lintel low enough to keep out pomp and pride; The threshold high enough to turn deceit aside; The doorband strong enough from robbers to defend; This door will open at a touch to welcome every friend. —Henry Van Dyke.

Increased Trade With Latin America Reserve Officers Urge Larger Army Uncle Sam Tests Finished Products WASHINGTON.—A demand that the German government produce its official records showing the activities of its spies in the United States during the war is made in a brief filed with the mixed claims commission on behalf of the Kentucky Public Elevator company. The elevator company is claiming damages of $1,000,000 for the destruction by incendiarism of a wooden elevator with a capacity of 500,000 bushels of grain. It is charged that the elevator was destroyed as a part of the activities of the spies of the German government. The case is unique in that it is the first time that such a demand has been made upon the German government. The brief, which was filed by Attorneys Louis A. McGowan and C. C. Calhoun, sets forth that this demand is justified by Article 23 of the treaty of Versailles, which provides that: "The German government undertakes to furnish all documents and information of every kind the production of which may be considered necessary to insure the full knowledge of the intimidating acts, the discovery of offenders and the just appreciation of WITH exports to Europe declining as industries of the war-stricken countries get back on their feet, department of commerce officials are impressed with the opportunity of American business men to increase their trade with Latin-America. Increased funds available for the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce of the Department of Commerce have given a new opportunity for expanding the promotion work on behalf of American exporters, which is being done in Central and South America. Exactly twice as much money is to be available during the fiscal year which has just commenced for promoting commerce with South and Central America as the bureau had for this purpose during the fiscal year 1919-20. The new appropriation for this one purpose is $200,000. Secretary of Commerce Hoover recommended to the budget bureau an appropriation of $250,000 for this purpose, but the budget director cut the sum to $200,000, which met the approval of congress. This amount, besides being twice as great as the sum available in 1919-20, represents an increase of $29,350 over the appropriation for promoting commerce with South and Central America during the last fiscal year. Extension of the promotion work in Latin-America is one of the pet projects of Dr. Julius Klein, director of INCREASE of the regular peace-time army of 15,000 officers and 150,000 men in order to permit all-year-round instruction of "civilian components of the army of the United States," was urged in a resolution adopted unanimously by the national council of the Reserve Officers' association in Indianapolis. The resolutions were received by Secretary Weeks and sent to the War department budget committee, which is laboring with next year's estimates. Action of the reserve officers was not disclosed at the time. The declaration relative to peace-time strength of the regular army was made in view of the "indications that an effort will be made at the next session of congress to reduce the present strength" of the regular establishment. The council speaks for the Association of Reserve Officers which includes a great majority of the 70,000 men of the reserve lists. It asserted that about 5,000 regular officers and 60,000 men were wholly or partially employed in summer training camps work and that "this number is deemed inadequate to give necessary instruction" to the limited personnel now authorized to attend the camps. The regular army officer corps is now less than the 12,000 total to which THE most complete composite manufacturing plant in the world, where the manufacturing processes of cement, leather, rubber, paper and textiles are duplicated on an experimental scale, is now being operated by Uncle Sam in the bureau of standards. In this plant also tests of the most practical character are made on the finished product during the investigation of the design, fabrication, uses and properties of structural and miscellaneous materials, such as metal, wood and concrete structural shapes, cement, stone, lime, gypsum, etc. Included in this equipment is the largest testing machine in the world with a crushing capacity of 10,000,000 pounds. Another has a compression capacity of 2,300,000 pounds and a capacity in tension of one-half this figure. This work is of great interest and value to manufacturers, especially of the various commodities concerned. Every line of work thus undertaken responsibility." Although the United States was not a party to the treaty of Versailles, it is declared that the obligations of Germany under the treaty are pledged to the United States in the treaty of peace approved Oct. 18, 1921, and the agreement of Aug. 10, 1922. The grain elevator of the Kentucky Public Elevator company was destroyed on Feb. 25, 1917, before the United States entered the war. It is contended that the total destruction of several large grain elevators in various sections of the United States was a part of the plot of German agents to buy up all the grain, or, falling in that, to destroy the available wheat supply in America. "The scope of the activities of German spies in the United States was very wide," says the brief. "It embraced at least 21 crimes or unfriendly acts committed upon our soil. This work was organized, financed and directed by the official representatives of Germany. As early as July 10, 1914, preliminary instructions were given to 31 men in Berlin who were assigned for duty in the United States for purposes of distributing German propaganda." the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, because of his personal experience in that field. Dr. Klein at one time was head of the Latin division of the bureau and also served as a commercial attache at a South American capital. When arrangements are completed for the expanded work in Latin-America the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce will have men stationed at ten or a dozen strategic points. Out of the increased funds it has been decided to open a new office at Bogota, Colombia. Carlton Jackson has been assigned as trade commissioner to take charge of the work at that point. Mr. Jackson also will advise the bureau as to the feasibility of opening an office in Venezuela. Seven regular offices have been maintained in Central and South America during the last year. Commercial attaches are stationed at Havana, Cuba; Mexico City, Mexico; Santiago, Chile; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Buenos Aires, Argentina. Trade commissioners are stationed in Peru and Colombia. These existing offices are to be strengthened by the addition of minor employees. There is a general improvement in trade prospects for American business men in Latin-America, Dr. Klein points out, because of the more favorable export market for Latin-American raw materials and better prices obtained. it was cut last year and there is little prospect that forthcoming budget figures will ask for any increase, whatever recommendations may be made by army officials otherwise to congress. The reserve officers' organization, however, declared that further reductions in regard to personnel must be made at the expense of the reserve and National Guard training work, as it was "impracticable" to cut further the foreign garrison or "overhead" commissioned staffs. The resolution also provides for development and maintenance at high efficiency of a plan "which will provide in the event of an emergency" for a selective service system that will insure swift and sure supply of personnel to the armed forces, declared the support of the National Guard to be "essential to the perfection of the national defense" and urge reserve officers to work for "active co-operation and support of the people in support of the National Guard." For the organized reserves, the national council asked especially that congress provide $4,000,000 next year to "permit the establishment and maintenance of the efficiency of all units"; and indorsed the plan for "unit training" of the reserve as being worked out by the War department. has its own particular advisory committee, composed of representatives of the manufacturers in the field of industry which it affects. Among the problems now being considered are the durability of various types of building stone, a study of the theory of reinforced concrete design, a study of the proportionation of concrete, studies of cement control, uses of lime and gypsum products, studies of the constitution of Portland cement, of the comforting and wearing values of fabrics, the simplification of paper sizes, of the power loss in tires through interior friction, and the relative wear of leather produced by tanning. In another part of the plant is a mill in which similar studies relating to the textile industry are carried out. Here they start with the bale of cotton and end with the finished thread, yarn, cloth or hosiery. Leather soils and rubber tires are given such wearing tests as furnish comparative measurements of their durability in actual service. Community Building EXAMPLE COUNTS FOR MUCH When One Citizen Makes Exterior of Home Attractive, Others Will Be Found to Follow. A systematic effort has been made for several years in Cass county, Tex., by the home-demonstration agent to inspire a greater love for him through making it more attractive on the exterior as well as on the interior. As a rule where one family makes the yard attractive with plantings and gives the house a freshening coat of paint or whitewash, others in the community soon follow. Emphasis has been placed on neatness and suitable plantings which would be possible for even the simplest home. Trimness can be achieved at small expense if fences, gates, and steps are kept in repair. Vines, flowers, grassy lawns, trees, window boxes and flower beds cost relatively little if the members of the family are all willing to do their share in planting and caring for them. The extension worker has brought out these points in encouraging the rural people to improve the outsides of their homes. The United States Department of Agriculture has received a report stating that since home beautification work started in the county four years ago there has been the greatest interest in a better understanding of artistic planting. Instead of the former hit or miss color masses of flowers, there is considerable harmony. Many yard and box plants are seen everywhere, even in the poorest negro homes. There has been an annual flower show at the Hughes Springs community. This year there was both a rose show and a chrysanthemum show in the county. Several women are making a successful business of selling boxes, plants, slips, seeds, vines, and rustic stands. In cases where it has not been possible to paint, the home has been white-washed. More homes are being remodeled, painted, and screened than ever before. BELONGS TO EVERY CITIZEN Community Building and Gymnasium in Maine Town First of Its Type in the State. First of its type in Maine will be the new community building and gymnasium that is being erected in Woodland, a correspondent there asserts. In Washington county, in a paper-mill town that grew up suddenly in the woods like a mushroom, plans are being materialized which provide for a one-story structure, 60 by 80 feet, with room for basket ball and other indoor games, wings in which spectators may sit, a stage that may be raised out of the way when not needed, provision for a moving picture booth in compliance with the state law, storage capacity for extra seats. This will accommodate 600 people for community purposes; 300 where games are on. Other towns in the state are considering duplication of this building—a combination of gymnasium and community house—at moderate cost, with possibilities for great service. Bird Protection Good Insurance. The bird-lovers of Brandon, Man., are enjoying this summer the fruit of their forethought by arranging with the authorities to have the fairgrounds set apart as a bird sanctuary. It is admirably adapted, by its abundance of trees, shrubbery, and lakelets, to attract and retain a great variety of birds; and as they find themselves safe within its precincts more and more will take advantage of the situation. This is an example—fortunately not alone—of what should be done by every community that can offer the birds anything of the sort. This is not only one more argument for the general policy of setting aside park spaces within or near even a small town, but it has the additional value of setting up a permanent destructive agent against the armies of insects that prey on village gardens and city parks as well as on the crops of the rural agriculturist. Many birds is the best insurance. The Old Gardener Says Fruit trees in the home garden are worth more attention than they ever were before, because the country's supply of fruit is not keeping pace with the demand. It is advisable to keep careful watch of newly set trees and to rub off any buds which start at a point where branches obviously will not be wanted. This thumb pruning, as it is called, can be kept up advantageously for several years, and no other cutting will be needed unless branches have developed which cross each other or which have been broken. —Exchange. Has Done Splendid Work. Dr. W. A. McKeever's dream of making American cities and communities better places in which to live brought a dozen new school buildings, a half-dozen community welfare center buildings, as many new city halls, thousands of beautiful lawns, miles of paved streets, white ways and more than fifty playgrounds and parks to cities in Oklahoma during the better cities contest conducted there in 1921 under his direction, according to Bliss Kelly, state editor of the Dally Oklahoma RED MOB STORMS GERMAN PRISON FOOD SITUATION IS SAID TO BE IMPROVING IN GREATER BERLIN AMERICA MAY ENTER LONDON CHEERFUL OVER IDEA THAT AMERICA WILL ENTER REPARATIONS MUDDLE Berlin.—A dispatch from Halle says a mob stormed the jail at Zeitz, a few days ago, smashed the doors, opened the cells and liberated all the prisoners, most of whom are declared by the dispatch to have been ordinary criminals. The labor and food situation in Greater Berlin shows some improvement. This is due to the calling off of the general strike by the Communists. The attempts of the Reds to paralyze the city proved to be a fiasco owing to the opposition of the regular labor unions. The currency shortage continues, although there seems to be a plentiful supply of bills of large denominations in circulation. The bill providing for the issue of an international gold loan was favorably reported to the reichstag. This is one of the measures initiated by the Cuno administration alluded to by Chancellor Strassemann in a statement to the reichstag as marking a promising beginning in restoring financial order in the country. He made an appeal to all classes to support the gold loan. London.—The most welcome reaction yet received in London as a result of the British reparations note sent to France and Belgium is contained in the press reports that the Coolidge administration will make a ready response to any appeal to America for assistance in settling the prolonged reparation struggle. On the whole, the comment on Great Britain's latest move to obtain a final and definite settlement with Germany has been satisfactory, according to foreign office officials. Washington.—Reports from London reflecting a feeling that there should be a welcome change in the attitude of the Washington government toward reparations were said on highest authority to appear altogether too optimistic. Nothing has been said in Washington in behalf of the Coolidge administration, it was pointed out, which indicates the slightest departure from the statement made by Secretary Hughes in his New Haven speech last December. Washington.—Belief was expressed in Washington by Myron T. Herrick, American ambassador to France, that the European situation would in time be solved. Hope and confidence in a successful outcome, he added, are essentials most needed at this time. Mr. Herrick, who has just recently arrived in the United States for a two years' vacation, was received by Secretary Hughes and President Coolidge. He intends to go soon to his home in Cleveland for a rest. Harding's Policies Followed Washington.—President Coolidge has directed two of the independent agencies of the government, the tariff commission and the civil service commission, to continue the policies pursued during the Harding administration.
