LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY EXTRACTS FROM ANNUAL ADDRESS OF DR. R. R. MOTON-PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. At the 24th Annual Session of the League Hot Springs, Ark., August 15, 1923. VOL. XXIX. EXTRACTS FROM OF DR. R. R. MOT THE NATIONAL LEAGUE. At the 24th Annual S Hot Springs, Ark., ASSEMBLED here in the Twenty-fourth Annual Session of the National Negro Business League we are called upon at this time to mourn the passing of the twenty-ninth President of the United States, Warren Gamaliel Harding. A great sense of loss still broods over the nation, the loss of a gracious kindly friend as well as of a just and courageous statesman. And it is hard, my friends, to say for which the nation grieves the more, the friend or the President. But to answer, I think we grieve more today for the great and noble friend of every citizen in the nation than for His Excellency, the President. The latter—the President, can be replaced, has already been replaced: but the former—the friend, no power on earth can replace. The place he held unchallenged in the affections of the nation and of the world is peculiarly his alone; that place he still holds and will continue to hold against all the fitful changes of time, against the ravages of death itself. Those who knew him personally will always remember his unfailing easy courtesy, his simple instinctive kindness and goodness of heart. Though pressed with a multitude of cares it was easy for even the humblest citizen of the land to see the president of the nation. Admitted to his presence he listened with ready and instant sympathy; one left his presence sure that he had a friend at court, and that friend was the president himself. And there was one unfailing clue to his action—that was his sense of justice and his love of peace. How well he combined these two elements in his Birmingham address. Two things he sought for:—justice for the Negro and peace for the South. Some admired his plea for justice and deplored his concessions to the South; others applauded his sympathy with the South and deprecated his misunderstanding of the Negro. But both parties were satisfied that the President's heart was as good as gold and that he sought the best interest of both parties. Having broken the Solid South without leaving his front porch at Marion, he went into the South as a messenger of peace and good will, of justice and righteousness. Today white and black alike bless Warren G. Harding as a friend. The National Negro Business League is to be congratulated on this its twenty-fourth annual session. We are to be congratulated on the pleasant auspices under which we meet. If we take account of the twenty-four years we, could properly and significantly count twenty-four years of progress. I know Dr. Washington, the founder of this organization, would rejoice in the wonderful business progress as well as the progress along other lines that the Negro race has made since the beginning of the movement. While the League cannot take credit for all the progress that has been made, it has truly had a large share in the large number of acres of land which the race has accumulated, something like 220,000,000 acres, and more than a million farms owned and operated by the colored people, not to mention the 650,000 homes owned by our people. Twenty-four years ago, when the League was organized in Boston, the aggregate number of business organizations, corporate and individual, owned and operated by colored people was not more than 20,000 with a combined capital of $10,000,000. Today they own and operate 60,000 with a combined capital of $60,000,000. The Negro owns in America more than a billion dollars worth of property real and personal, whereas when the Declaration of Independence was adopted, the combined capital of the entire nation was about $500,000,000, yet there are a few people even today who question the progress of the Negro. Thank God, those people who doubt the ability of the Negro to succeed along business lines grow less and less. We must keep in mind, also, there are people within the race who sometimes thoughtlessly question the ability of their own race to succeed; but friends, there is no reason in the world for any pessimism on the part of any one as to the Negro's ability and determination to succeed along all lines of human endeavor. Here in America, in education, in business, in the professions, mechanical arts, in agriculture, he is making progress that is almost startling to the casual observer. I spent a few weeks last fall in Scotland as a member of a great congress, composed of people from all over the world, many races and nations, people who are presumed to have no bias with reference to the Negro race, and yet I was surprised often by the incredulity and sometimes evident surprise of that group of people when they questioned the statements which I frequently made in my addresses of the progress of the American Negro along the lines heretofore mentioned, though my statements, as usual, were conservative and quite within the facts. We must keep in mind that, in spite of the difficulties which he faces, that nowhere in the world have Negroes, as a group, such great opportunities on so large a scale as right here in America, and nowhere has he made so much progress as right here in America on so large a scale. But our victory has not yet been won. We must not deceive ourselves. Our business progress, as measured by American business standards, is yet largely in its infancy; we are just scratching the surface as touching the great business possibilities that lie before the American Negro throughout this nation. We have now 72 successful Negro banks. We should and could have 700. There are many cities with a large Negro population, particularly in the North, where leaders in business among Negroes, could accomplish any reasonable business result if State Hist & Nut Mfg Society State House VARIABLE PEOPLE RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER BLE PEOPLE'S PA ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1923 Colored Man in Jury Box Innovation Tampa, Fla., Aug. 18.—For the first time since "reconstruction days," when Negroes were in control of the local county government, a black man was summoned for jury service. The case was that of Elmo Lloyd, a white man, charged with murder, and Clifton Roberts was the juryman. When the colored man appeared in the jury box, responded to his name and took his seat with the white man also named in the regular and special venires, there was much craning of necks on the part of spectators. The news spread rapidly and was the subject of much discussion in the various offices. Little comment was made by court officials. Sheriff W. C. Spencer said that no mistake was made, for Roberts was decidedly dark, and that another colored man, Lewis Williams, was also on call. Movement to Keep Negro South Hattiesburg, Miss., Aug. 18. R. H. Flynn, president of the National Progressive Association of Negroes, is endowing to organize a chapter of that organization in this city, and in an address proposed a council of Negro leaders to confer and co-operate with white leaders to bring about a better understanding between the races and to impress upon the colored races that their proper place is in the South. properly managed. I think of the great city of New York with its great Negro population in Harlem; there ought to be and there undoubtedly will be in the near future in that city a large financial corporation, a banking and trust company, operated by our people; and with the success that has already been attained by the Association of Trade and Commerce under the wise leadership of Mr. John E. Nail, who by the way has just completed a most successful business exposition—we are going to have just such a corporation, as I have mentioned. Cities like Durham, Savannah, Atlanta, Richmond, Norfolk, with many others, are setting a notable example in the possibilities of this race to accomplish large results. as quite aspite faces, have op-ight he where been selves.ured is, just the be-hout negro nave with a early hous-lish it I am not unmindful, either, of the fine work of our great insurance and benevolent organizations. Here in Arkansas we have the Woodmen of Union, so efficiently directed by our treasurer, Mr. John L. Webb, with a splendid staff of co-workers, also the great organization founded by our lamented and distinguished friend and associate, Mr. J. E. Bush, and now successfully carried forward by his sons. These organizations, to be sure, are organized as secret societies, but they are essentially great benevolent insurance companies, and I wish sincerely to congratulate the managers on handling their affairs in a businesslike way. What a wonderful opportunity, my friends, we have just now. Negroes want something which we are not furnishing. We have the brains and the ability, and we have the means within the present membership of this League. --- Stirred to Anger As Negroes Buy Sleeper Ticket to New York. Goldsboro, N. C.—A ridiculous manifestation of racial envy and prejudice was given expression here Monday when Mr. and Mrs. Allen Moses, a well-to-do colored couple living. In this community left on a trip to New York. Mr. Moses had secured Pullman accommodations to New York, a common occurrence in various sections of the South where hate is not permitted to outweight justice and consideration. But it appears that Goldsboro whites are not of that class. One of these broad-minded (?) and liberal-hearted (?) citizens who is hardly able to raise railroad fare to the next station said it was the first time in the hostory of this village that a Negro "had the nerve" to buy Pullman tickets here. And this same gentleman is sponsor for the promise of a Ku Klux reception for Moses when the latter returns to his home and fireside. BOULDER, COLO., NEWS Boulder has had her share of rain this summer, and some sunshine, but of course we have to take sunshine and rain. We are glad of the moisture. It will do us all good. The Cedar Art Club will soon be starting their activity again according to the plan of their faithful president. The visitor teachers that have come to Boulder for the summer are planning on going back in the near future. Mrs. Mary White and others are planning on a big dinner at the church Wednesday, the 22nd, for the purpose of raising money for conference, which is near at hand. The Mite Missionaries and all auxillaries of the church are busy now getting their conference claims. Rev. Jackson of the Baptist Church was with us this month. We were glad to listen to his voice again teaching us how to live the life that God demands. His subject Sunday evening was "Admonition to Charity, and Not to Think Any Man Liveth to Himself." Rev. Jackson has one more Sunday in this month. Rev. Mrs. Elliott and son, Rev. J. Wims and wife, Mrs. Wims and Mrs. Wims' aunt, Mrs. Wilson, are in Boulder carrying on meetings at the mission. Rev. Murphy will leave for conference next week. He has worked faithful and has not failed to declare the Gospel. We hope he returns. Mrs. C. Allen's little niece from Denver was visiting her Sunday. Mrs. Major's little girl, her mother at Cubertson, was a Boulder visitor Sunday. Little Miss Dorothy Tivis and sister Alice Jean, who are at Culbertson with their mother, were Boulder visitors. The three were guests of little Miss Josephine Tinsley. Mrs. Edna Tivis is planning on returning to Kansas soon. Those who have been on the sick list are slowly recovering. The Mite Missionary Society is giving a musical for the benefit of the church. Mrs. Tinsley is planning on returning to Boulder from the mountains by the first of September. THE NEW "INGLENOOK" Kansas City's most elaborate effort at providing entertainment for the public has thrown open its doors. It is the New Inglenook, located at Thirty-fifth and Colorado avenue, the thought and investment of Mr. Kenneth Campbell and his wife, Mrs. Sarah Rector-Campbell. It opened last Saturday night, with George Lee's orchestra caroling in its spacious dining room. The old construction, a bungalow of stone, which would fit perfectly into an old-world picture, if it were covered with ivy, has been supplemented by a new wing in which is the place dansant, the temple of Terpsichore, surrounded by snow-white tables on three sides, with a concert grand piano on the other. It accommodates 200 couples, all dancing at once, with seating capacity at the tables for 160. The floor shines and the room is large, giving a semblance of distance, an enchantment which is heightened by the snow-white napery. Mr. and Mrs. Campbell have spared no expense in making Inglenook a place to be talked about. They are serving meals and refreshments. Having made the best building, they say they cannot help but serve the best food and drink. They have a manager always on the premises, though the service does not begin until 8 p. m. It is provided with a highly competent chef and an efficient corps of waiters. The ideal which lies in the creators' minds is typified by the concert grand plano, such an instrument as is seldom seen, even in private. Its dark beauty attracts the eye. There is plenty of parking space on the grounds for motor cars, though the inn can be reached on foot from the end of the Thirty-first street car line. Much of the construction on this property was done by Negro labor. Douglas Smith had the stone and carpentry contracts. A. A. Scruggs and F. Freeman installed the electricity.—Kansas City Call.

(By ERWIN GREER, President Greer College of Automotive Engineering.) Don't— Try to start the engine with switch turned off or without gasoline in the tank. Forget that using the starter a certain number of times will exhaust the supply of current in the battery, unless the engine is run sufficiently to recharge it. Fill the lubricator in the engine and neglect to lubricate all other parts of the car. Neglect the lubrication of any part of the car. Advance the spark when starting the engine. Allow the clutch to engage suddenly. Apply the brakes suddenly when it isn't at all necessary. Push in the starting button when the engine is running. Blame the starter when the engine doesn't start, without looking into the gasoline tank. Neglect to Inspect Battery. Neglect to inspect the level of the acid in the storage battery, even after two or three weeks have gone by, and overlook a supply of distilled water needed. Shift from third to second or first gear when the car is running at a high speed. Shift reverse gear when the car is moving ahead. Neglect to investigate any unusual sound which may develop in the car. Drive fast and attempt to stop suddenly on a wet pavement. Overlook keeping the tires properly inflated. Release the clutch when the throttle is open very wide. Benevolently allow every Tom, Dick and Harry to drive the car, without admonition or chiding. Use the starter to run the car, even while understanding that excessive overload on the battery is very injurious. Allow our car to stand in puddles of oil or water, while perfectly aware that neither one is good for our tires. Overlook the fact that pan, engine and other mechanical parts of a car should be kept clean.

When the carburetor is working perfectly, the exhaust gas is colorless and almost entirely odorless. spectacular even at cost of your tires. Open the throttle quickly, without giving the motor a chance to pick up gradually. Brakes Are Overlooked. Find it too much trouble to keep our brakes adjusted—or at least too much trouble to keep our mind on it. No, and thus be prepared for emergencies. Release the clutch before shifting gears. Accelerate too quickly, and so enjoy the car jumping and the motor pounding. Fall to examine the car occasionally for loose nuts and bolts. Race our engine under any and all circumstances when we feel like it. Fall to heed the squeak that calls for oil. Take our car out without noticing whether it is properly lubricated. Attempt to start without being sure that the brakes are released. Make adjustments on our car before knowing whether we're right, just trusting to luck and the god of simpletons. Fold the car top back when wet, not knowing or careless about rapid deterioration. AUTOISTS OVERLOOK OILING VITAL SPOTS Lubrication of Chassis Is Too Often Neglected. The modern motorist by this time has become, as a rule, well educated in the care of his car, save in the single respect of attending to the lubrication of the chassis. The average motorist has learned, perhaps, by the experience of paying $40 or $50 for a new battery, that it pays to attend regularly to its filling and testing. He has learned, perhaps, through paying for new bearings for his motor that it pays to keep plenty of oil in his crank case. But it is the average motorist who does not realize the importance of chassis lubrication, because he never has realized sharply just what his neglect in this respect costs him. He is more apt, very humanly, to blame it upon the maker of the car, and tells his friends that his car has not "stood up" the way it should. If there were some way of making the motorist realize that it is nothing more or less than his own neglect of chassis librucation that has been the cause of most of his troubles it would go a long way toward prolonging the life and the satisfactory service of most motor cars.

This is because oil dissolve the rubber compound which makes it stick. Use ordinary cotton tape to bind up the break in the insulation, and afterward apply shellac liberally. This does not look so well, but makes a more satisfactory repair. AUTOMOBILE NEWS Before the leather upholstery becomes brown and shabby, it should be washed with soap and water and, when dry, given a treatment with leather dressing. A "periscope" automobile danger signal, which warns motorists of the approach at night of cars or trucks around a curve or corner, is now used in Ohio. After the water has been drained out of the cooling system the engine should be run for a few minutes thoroughly to evaporate all moisture remaining. Don't make the mistake of taking it for granted that it makes little difference whether or not a cap is used on the tire valve and when a cap is lost use the tire without one. --- 1 THE STAR HAIR GROWER A Wonderful Hair Dressing and Grower. 1,000 AGENTS WANTED.

Losing the engine from his plane while flying at an altitude of a mile did not disconcert a young American airman while flying at an overseas field, according to Popular Mechanics Monthly. Collision with another craft tore the engine from his machine, but at a moment when the plane was gliding on an even keel, he climbed on to the top of the fuselage at full length and in some manner managed, by continually shifting to prevent the craft from fluttering into a direct fall. While maintaining balance with his body he also manipulated the controls and guided the machine earthward. A Thought for the Day.

It is the idea that they cannot or will not work steadily during the warm season, but must lay off, and in many cases actually quit a good job, because it is too hot to work! This one thing has caused as many doors of occupation to be closed against our people as anything else. It is a devilish idea, born of stupidity and fostered by laziness and unworthy of a people who must make every opportunity in the game of life count. The world's business must be carried on in the summer time as well as in the winter and the man or woman who wantly refuses to work during the hot spell should be denied the privilege when the weather is more favorable. The number of young Negroes sauntering along the streets or hanging about the club doors and poolrooms, exhibiting their Smart Alex clothes and foolish talk, and the young misses (and old ones, too, for that matter) who go parading the thoroughfares and shopping districts, spending their time and money drinking ice cream soda, while calls upon calls for help, and good wages, are offered them.

THIS ought to be the banner to fly at the head of the banner of every loyal Negro Denverite. It would mean much to every institution and business among us. The church, the lodges and newspapers alike would profit by such a motto strictly conformed to. We have known colored business men in Denver who failed because Negroes would not pay their debts. Churches have to beg and solicit funds on the streets because members won't pay their obligations, lodges carry long lists of delinquents and have to finally expel members because they won't pay their dues. Newspapers have to live at a poor "dying rate" because their subscribers won't pay their subscriptions. "Pay your debts." The Negro is growing careless about this thing. He is losing friends because people are losing confidence in him financially. Neither his note or bond is worth much nowadays. THE COLORADO STATESMAN is not saying this for itself alone. While we need money and would be glad to collect all that is owing to us (drop us a card when to call), but we want to sound a tocsin and warn the race. We can't afford to wear fine clothes and shine in society and be known as "dead beats." The doctor, the groecryman, the landlords, the newspaper collectors, the lodges treasurers and church officers, besides the whole business world have their eyes upon us; we can not afford to be derelict; to be rated as N. G., to be put down as C. O. D. The race is making a sad mistake. THE COLORADO STATESMAN asks you to "cut out" dodging and come up with the "straight thing." Be a man, pay your debts, look the world in the face. We know it may cut you short some time, but it is better to be short than not to be honest; better not to be liberal than a dead beat. It would mean much more for every organization in Denver if the people of this city would pay their bills. Restaurants and rooming housekeepers and every other business would flourish. THE COLORADO STATESMAN would be happy and you would have one of those "won't come off smiles" if you would pay your bills. It would add years to your life and peace to your sleep. Try it for a month or two and see if your scribe is not right and you will never go back to the "call again game" any more. PRESIDENT MOTON'S ADDRESS. Negro Business League has become indispenisable cog in the progress of annual sessions take on increased years roll on. Judging from press coverage recently held in Hot Springs, Ariz. The League seems to be growing has been so. Time was when the u League was questioned seriously, and THE National Negro Business League has become so essentially an institution and indispensable cog in the progress of the American Negro that its annual sessions take on increased importance and significance as the years roll on. Judging from press reports, the twenty-fourth annual session recently held in Hot Springs, Arkansas, proved to be one of its greatest. The League seems to be growing in popular favor. This has not always been so. Time was when the usefulness and even purposes of the League was questioned seriously, and not without some reason. But it has seemingly outgrown the swaddling clothes of a precarious existence and entered upon a broad path of service to the great mass of Negro citizens who have yearly looked to it for inspiration, if for no other succor. President R. R. Moton in his address to the twenty-fourth annual session brought out some highly interesting facts relative to the progress of the Negro, and no man is more qualified than he. Substantial figures were set forth that may well appear staggering in their magnitude. He takes wholesome issue with those, either within the race or out of it, who would doubt the Negro's ability to succeed along business lines. He sees no Pillar of Hercules we may not pass, no unknown seas our barks dare not enter. But he assumes safe ground in the contention that our business progress is but yet in its infancy. He points out, with evident careful study of the premises, the business possibilities of the Negro in great centers like New York and other northern cities. The lesson might be profitably extended to Denver. Though the percentage of Negro population in this city is very small as compared to many places east and south, still we have much to atone for, in the matter of business laxity and in consequence President Moton's address comes to us in the form of a special appeal. The functions of The National Negro Business League are purely inspirational, and this the able head of Tuskegee observes, and scrupulously stays within its charmed circle, in that he does not ascribe to the League, full credit for all that we can show along the lines of progress in the past twenty-four years. A very noticeable feature of Mr. Moton's address was his very timely and beautiful eulogy of the late President Harding. It is hardly possible that any great gathering of American citizens could be held at this time without a deep feeling of sorrow entering into its deliberations. In many ways Mr. Moton was closely associated with the deceased President, and it was with personal knowledge that he spoke feelingly of him before the delegates of the great Hot Springs convention. As to the statistical phase of Presiden Moton's address we find much that is interesting and valuably instructive. It is apparent that the Negro has "found himself" industrially speaking, a fact that may suggest cohesiveness eventually in our larger struggle for civic progress. A feeling of general disappointment is inevitable, however, in reading the Moton address in that it contained no reference whatever to the much-discussed government hospital at Tuskegee. While it cannot be said to be at all correlated to the province of the Business League, still the principle involved so vitally affects our status as citizens that a word on the subject was expected from the President of Tuskegee. Perhaps it may have been an oversight, or it is possible that it was not deemed timely to dwell upon a subject of such a nature. Then again it may be that the local surroundings (Arkansas is a southern) suggested the inadvisability of renewing agitation of the question. But proud as we are of Negro business progress, it is undeniable that industrial progress without social justice is positively unthinkable. JAMES WELDON JOHNSON GIVEN GREATEST OVATION EVER ACCORDED NEGRO SPEAKER IN DENVER Round After Round of Applause Follows Brilliant Address Shorter A. M. E. Church is a historic institution. Many great and notable meetings have been held within its walls. Prominent speakers of nearly every race and nation, eminent churchmen, leaders in the political world, have all at varied times graced its pulp, but never was a greater meeting held from every point of view, than that of last Monday night when James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, spoke to a packed house. Every available seat was taken and standing room was at a premium long before the meeting was called to order, which was done promptly at 8:15. A large chorus under the direction of Mr. Chas. Clark opened the meeting by singing "America," which was heartily joined in by the great audience present. Bishop H. Blanton Parks then stepped forward and delivered the invocation. As a special mark of esteem the chorus next sung, "Lift Every Voice and Sing," a song composed by Mr. Johnson and his brother, J. Rosmond. Following a spendid rendition of this National Negro anthem, Geo. W. Gross, president of the Denver Branch, introduced the speaker of the evening. Denver has long yearned for a closeup of the man who has led valiant hosts to victory after victory as the directing head of the National Association, and when he arose the outburst of applause attested the esteem and regard in which he is held by our citizens. His address, lasting about forty-five minutes, was all that the most exacting could ask for; polished, clear forceful, as well as logical, James Weldon Johnson won his way into the hearts of loyal Denverites to a degree seldom accorded a public speaker. At the close, Mr. Johnson was compelled to repeatedly arise and bow in acknowledgement of the appreciative applause of the large crowd present. The Denver Branch made a great move when it brought the National Secretary to our city. Other features of the evening's program were the rendition of an organ voluntary by Prof. Valuerez Spratlin, and a rich vocal solo by Mrs. Bettina Polk. Many notable citizens of both the white and colored races had seats of honor upon the platform, among whom Miss Emily Griffith, principal of the Opportunity School. Miss Hopkins, teacher in the East Denver High School, and her father, the Rev. Robert Hopkins, pastor of the First Congregational Church; Dr. Kahn and Mr. Arthur Newcome of Akron, Colo., and Mr. W. H. Hopper of Eastonville, Colo. Bishop H. B. Parks, Rev. A. C. Murphy of Boulder, and practically every Negro minister in Denver were present. It was a wonderful evening and Denver has profited much by the coming of the fearless leader, orator and writer. C. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Reverend C. E. Chapman, Minister Residence: 2926 Glenarm Place. Phone: Champa 4879-W. The services of last Sunday were fraught with the usual interest. The hour in the Sunday School was very interesting from every point of view, Interest is running high in the discussions; and all the pupils seem to be of a "mind to learn." Two splendid services were had last Sunday—at 3:30 p. m. and at 8 p. m. The minister in charge, Rev. C. E. Chapman, was the speaker at both services. The theme at the afternoon hour was "The Upward Look." The theme at the evening service was "Stephen, the First Christian Martyr." Tomorrow (Sunday) there will be the usual services; Sunday School at 2:30 p. m. Praise services and preaching at 3:30 p. m. Praise service and evening worship at 8 o'clock. Rev. C. E. Chapman will be the speaker at both services. PUBLIC TRUSTEE'S SALE. 2225 Whereas, Harriett M.

NOTES Less than twenty-four hours after our notes went out last week, the workmen, under the direction of the Colorado Wreckin', Company, began tearing down the old brick structure next door. The work of destruction is now well under way, and will be completed at least by the first of next week. Immediately afterwards they will begin tearing down the old corner frame in which we have been housed for the past seven years. Contrary therefore to the expectation of many, we have been able to keep our promise with the public, that operations looking towards the erection of the new building should begin in August or not later than September first. Thus the long struggle for a suitable building for the carrying on of our work, begun years ago by our Committee of Management and the Board of Directors, and longed for by the citizens in general, is now about to bring fourth its glorious reward. Secretary Robert B. DeFrantz of New York City, is with us again. A dinner served for him at the Y. W. C. A. last night, attended by members of the Committee of Management, representatives of the Board of Directors, Captains of the former team workers and other prominent citizens. It was a very pleasant occasion, and recalled scenes and experiences of the drive five months ago. We are looking forward with great anticipation to the meeting at New Hope Church tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. The meeting will be of a public nature, and is supposed to be a kind of a winding up affair of the great drive. Secretary DeFrantz will be the chief and only speaker. Special music for the occasion by a 100-voiced chorus led by Mr. Charles Clark. An effort will be made at the meeting to raise $500 towards the completion of the building fund. Many of the subscribers who have found it inconvenient to pay their pledges up to this time will doubtless do so at that meeting—TOMORROW AFTERNOON AT THREE-THIRTY O'CLOCK, AT THE NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH. BOULDER the place; FRIDAY, Aug. 31, the time; BIG PICNIC and Barbecue the event. Best orchestra in the West. Morrison's Famous Jazz. Lots of fun. Dancing at famous CANON PARK, 2:30-6:00 p. m.

MOUNTAIN MOTOR CLUB ENTER TAIN NOTED NEW YORKERS After a stay of only a few days Mr. and Mrs. James Weldon Johnson of New York have been claimed as "Denver's Own," through their charming congeniality and affability. But the newly organized Motor lays claim to prior possession and last Saturday afternoon kidnapped the popular couple and took them on a spin through Bear Creek to Bergen Park, where a dinner was served in the most approved western style. Neither the erudite Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People nor his charming wife were at all bashful when the table was spread. They took hold like veterans and proved to be what we of the Rocky Mountain regions affectionately term "good scouts." A stirring ball game followed the bountiful repast and every minute was a thrill during its progress. We hesitate to name the stars of the game, but it is only fair to say that Rev. Uggams, Mrs. Fairfax Holmes, Isabella Brown, and E. P. Blakemore displayed remarkable talent. Dr. Huff easily qualified as the best long distance squabbler, and Gene Carter as the best natured loser. At a late hour the party motored to Lookout Mountain and visited the grave of Buffalo Bill, coming into Denver about 8:30. DENVER BRANCH N. A. A. C. P. Tenders Reception to Mr. and Mrs. James Weldon Johnson. THE Denver Branch N. A. A. C. P. closed its season's functions Wednesday night by giving a very beautiful reception at the Y. W. C.

Under the skillful guidance of the Garden Club, the Home was rendered a veritable flower palace and a huge basket was presented to Mrs. Johnson. The affair was one of the most notable of the season. Miss Eloise Ugams favored the guests with several vocal selections that were warmly appreciated, as were two very interesting readings by Mrs. Berry. Those assisting in the receiving were: Mesdames : Mesdames : Georgia Contee S. A. Bondurant Edna Cantey I. S. Wilson Helen Gatewood C. N. Pitt Geraldine Lightner Estella Robinson Nelsine Howard Mary A. Clinkscale Lulu Muse Marrian Bryant Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Gross stood with the guests of honor. BISHOP AND MRS. R. A. CARTER OF CHICAGO, AND BIG PARTY OF VISITORS SPEND DAY IN THE MOUNTAINS. On last Thursday, a large party of visitors, among whom were: Bishop and Mrs. R. A. Carter, Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. Eva Elliott, wife of Dr. S. J. Elliott, grand master of the Mosaic Templars of America, Little Rock, Ark.; Mrs. D. McQueen, Omaha, Neb.; and the Misses A. Gladys Cannon and Daisy Cannon, Kansas City, Mo., spent the day in the mountains near the city. The trip took in such places as Morrison, Evergreen, Starbuck, Bergen Park, Dedisse Park, Genesee Mountain, Cub Creek Park, Lookout Summit, Golden and several other places on the Bear Creek Canon Drive. The drive thru Bear Creek Canon and up Lookout Mountain to the Lookout Summit was awe inspiring to the visitors. They all expressed themselves as having never seen such scenes of grandeur and picturesqueness in all their lives. The W. F. Cody monument and museum on the Lookout Summit were of especial interest to the visitors. The party stopped at several places along the way to refresh themselves with the delicacies to be found along the way. Rev. C. E. Chapman sponsored the trip, and the Grandberry Taxicab Company supplied the conveniences for the trip. The party returned to the city in the late afternoon.

A well arranged program under the auspices of the Choir Guild of the People's Presbyterian Church, and the direction of Hewetson-Watson. served a musical refreshment not to be easily effaced from the minds of those who longed for a return of this class of music, and the participants and contributors in and to the program, proved beyond a doubt that the Lord of Creation intended a great enlightenment of the human soul, and a dissemination of His truth among human beings, when He ordered the wonder working art MUSIC to be one of the component parts of His highest and most important creative object—Man. With Miss Eloise Uggains, a daughter of the pastor of the church, possessing a well-trained voice of rare sweetness, quality of tone, etc., combined with a stage appearance of grace and ease.

Please be present. THOS. CAMPBELL, Pres. W. R. CHAPMAN, Secretary. DURING September when every day holds the possibility of a quick change of temperature, there is need of light-weight garments in a knitted weave, such as the one shown here. Jerseys and tricotines for the fall wear retain the charm of summer colors and trimmings but afford a degree of comfort that is appreciated when there is a breath of coolness in the air or on evenings when the temperature goes down with the sum. The frock shown is of corn-colored jersey with a stencil design in green and amber. The skirt is ornamented with a checkerboard design at the hem and is caught at the waist with I I FROCK OF CORN-COLORED JERSEY a wide belt of the same material, which ties at the side. The ornamentation of the blouse is repeated in the elbow-length sleeves and both the sleeves and collar are prettily finished with a narrow binding of green silk. With the advent of fall fashions there is no doubt of the continued popularity of all sorts of rough weaves. These are already being shown in one and two-piece suits, sports coats and capes, skating coats and various types of sweaters. A new development of FIGURED SILK IN PL RED SILK IN PLEASING TONE OF B A The style is shown in tau with scarf to match. These sets are made in brilliant gypsy stripes and are ideal for sports wear. Embroideries of tinsel and brushed wool, beading and colored silks add to the attraction of many of jie suits. Sleeves are longer and collars are generally of the eton, sailor or convertible varieties. Extreme simplicity of line and trimming marks the styles advanced by those designers who are preparing special showings of coats and dresses for school wear. The mate- black and white. Styles for lines of the coats for the most and have the same trimming brodery or fur, adapted for wearers.

SUMMER DISHES Vegetables which are intended to be served as hot dishes, with a few changes are especially good eaten cold. Cucumbers a la Poulette. — Pare and cut into cubes, rejecting the seeds, two Cucumbers a la Poulette. — Pare and cut into cubes, rejecting the seeds, two medium-sized cucumbers. Boil the pulp in salted water until very tender but unbroken. Drain and cool. Make one cupful of rich white sauce, seasoning it with one-half teaspoonful of salt, a little pepper, mace or nutmeg and a little onion juice. Pour the sauce over the cucumbers, adding some strips of canned or fresh red pepper, and stir in one well-beaten egg. Pour the mixture into small greased molds or custard cups, place in a pan of water and bake for twenty minutes. Cover the tops of the molds with heavy paper while baking. Chill and serve. String Beans With Sour Dressing.—String a quart of beans, cut them in halves crosswise, then slit them once lengthwise. Cook in boiling saited water till tender. Drain, rinse in cold water and chill. Shred a canned plimento and mix with the beans, then add one-half cupful of cream beaten with two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, half a teaspoonful of salt and a dash of pepper. Serve with slices of corned beef or ham. Tomato Baskets With Asparagus.—Chill, scald and skin even-sized tomatoes, scoop out the centers, leaving the scarlet cups to be filled later. Turn them upside down and set on ice. Select a bunch of fresh asparagus or its equivalent when cooked, chill the points and dress with chantilly sauce. Arrange them in the tomato baskets which have been brushed inside with the sauce. Make handles of green pepper cut into strips or slender stalks of celery, the ends tucked down well into the tomato. Chantilly Sauce.—Add one or two tablespoonfuls of horseradish to a mayonnaise or boiled dressing and add to the tomato pulp which has been taken from the baskets, put through a sleeve and cooked. To this add a half teaspoonful of grated onion, using one-half cupful of mayonnaise to this amount of seasoning. "Not all on books their criticism waste, The genius of a dish some justly taste, And eat their way to fame." A simple dessert which requires no cooking and is easy to prepare, is the one which appeals to us who are busy planning menus. Arabian Ambrosia.

This sounds exotic enough to be good enough for company. Measure two cupfuls of choice dates, wipe them carefully and remove the pits. Cut the dates into quarters and combine with one cupful of walnut meats coarsely chopped; add one tablespoonful of lemon juice. Arrange in sherbet glasses and top with a spoonful of whipped cream, or marshmallow cream. Short Sponge Method. — Where compressed yeast is available this is recommended: Take one quart of lukewarm liquid, which may be water, potato water milk, whey or a mixture of any two; one compressed yeast cake, two tablespoonfuls of shortening, one tablespoonful each of salt and sugar, three quarts of flour sifted. Blend the yeast with a little of the lukewarm liquid, add the salt, sugar and one and one-half quarts of the flour. Beat well in a bread-mixer or by hand and set to rise in a warm place—about eighty to eighty-five degrees is best. Avoid drafts or changes in the temperature. When the sponge is so light that it falls at the lightest touch, add the remainder of the flour and knead thoroughly, greasing the hands to keep the dough from sticking to them. When using the bread-mixer the dough is kneaded in the mixer. Let rise again a little more than its bulk, then knead, make into loaves and when double or more in bulk bake in a hot oven at first, then lower the heat to finish. Be sure that the bread is well baked. Milk Toast.—Toast the bread a delicate brown. Butter and place in a covered dish. To two tablespoonfuls of butter add one tablespoonful of flour, cook until blended, then add a pint of milk with a bouillon cube. Pour over the toast when the cube is dissolved. Walnut Maple Ice Cream.—Scald two and one-half cupfuls of milk, pour over three well-beaten eggs and one-third of a cupful or sugar, one cupful of maple syrup and cook until the custard coats the spoon. Strain and cool. Beat one expful of cream until thick, add it to the custard with one-half cupful of chopped walnuts. Freeze as usual.

COOL, REFRESHING VEGETABLES When the mercury is soaring up in the nineties, cooling dishes are the only ones that appeal to the appetite. We must have vegetables to give our food the proper balance and if not hot and steaming. We must have vegetables to give our food the proper balance and if not hot and steaming, then it behooves us to find some way of making them appetizing without the bent. These vegetables may be prepared in the early part of the day and when dinner time comes a steak may be broiled or a few chops and dinner-getting is a simple process. With the wealth of delicious vegetables to be found at this season, one may have a pair for each dinner and never run low on ideas. Peas are such a delectable vegetable that they may be served often in most families. One day cook them, dress them with cream, and serve in ripe tomato baskets. This dish not only gratifies the eye but will prove satisfying to the palate. Peas in Aspic Jelly.—A pint of shelled peas will make six individual molds. Cook the peas in just enough water to cover them, adding a teaspoonful of sugar and a slice of onion when tender drain and cool them. Soak one tablespoonful of gelatin in two tablespoonfuls of water, then add one and one-half cupfuls of nicely seasoned meat stock, or canned boulillon, boiling hot. Stir until the gelatin is well dissolved, then strain and chill but do not let it come to the point of congealing. Add the peas and a tablespoonful of chopped red pepper, stir occasionally until the jelly begins to thicken. Pour into molds wet with cold water and place on ice. Serve turned on sliced cucumbers dipped in French dressing or on water cress. Mousse of Peas.—Cook a pint of peas as above, and when tender put through a sleeve; add one cupful of thick white sauce, one tablespoonful of gelatin softened in cold water, one beaten egg, salt, paprika and white pepper to taste. When cool fold in a cupful of whipped cream and pour into little ramekins to chill. When serving garnish with a point of whipped cream topped with minced parsley. "The tender morsels on the painte melt And all the force of cookery is felt." SUMMER SUGGESTIONS In many places small boxes of tea of various kinds may be purchased in ay be purchased in little bags, with just enough in them for a cup of tea. When traveling a cup of tea is quickly made with boiling water, drop in the bag and in little bags, with just enough in them for a cup of tea. When traveling a cup of tea is quickly made with boiling water, drop in the bag and in a minute or two you will have a refreshing drink. Carry a box in your bag, for it will prove a comfort to some one, even if you don't care for tea. The hot weather brings discomfort and loss of appetite, it is almost too hot to eat some days, but the body must be nourished. Let the meals be as simple and as easy of digestion as it is possible to plan. Gelatin Ice Cream.—Take two cupfuls of thin cream, one cupful of sugar. Dissolve two tablespoonfuls of gelatin in one-fourth cupful of hot water, add with one cupful of milk to the cream and sugar and freeze. Peach Cream Sherbet.—Measure two cupfuls of ripe, mashed, fresh peaches; add one cupful of sugar and stand on ice for three hours. Fold in one cupful of cream whipped until stiff and freeze. Serve garnished with chopped maraschino cherries. Olyocks.—Scald one pint of milk, add one tablespoonful of sugar and the same of butter, and cool until tepid. Soften one yeast cake in one-fourth of a cupful of lukewarm milk, combine with the first mixture, add a teaspoonful of salt and three cupfuls of flour. Let rise until the sponge is light, then add two-thirds of a cupful of butter, one cupful of sugar, a teaspoonful of nutmeg, and four eggs beaten light; add to the sponge with six more cupfuls of flour. Let rise, stir down, roll out and cut into small thin rounds. Let rise half an hour and put into the center of each a teaspoonful of the following mixture: Four apples, cupful of raisins, three ounces of citron, all chopped fine. Molsten the edges of the cakes and press together in the form of a turnover. Let rise again until very light and fry in deep fat. Roll in powdered sugar. These cakes will keep two weeks. Scotch Short Bread.—This bread is too rich for daily food, but is very popular for an occasional meal or to serve with tea. Take one pound of butter, one-half pound of sugar, two beaten eggs and two pounds of flour, a grating of nutmeg and a teaspoonful of grated lemon peel. Mix and roll a half-inch thick.

Wilson Paid the Penalty With Illness and Harding: With Death, and Probably Roosevelt's Life Was Shortened by Twenty Years. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington. — When the news reached Washington that President Harding was dead the officials of the government asked a question which has been asked before: "Will the American people ever come to the point of insisting that their chief executives shall not work themselves to the breaking point?" Leaving out all question of sorrow and sentiment, the United States government suffers when its chief executive is incapacitated, and it suffers also when the presidency through the death of a chief executive passes to another man. Everything is disrupted, temporarily at least, and the government ceases for a time properly to function. It was known long ago that President Harding was overworking, just as it was known that Woodrow Wilson was overworking, and in an older day that Theodore Roosevelt was overworking. Woodrow Wilson was stricken on a western trip when he was laying the cause of the League of Nations before his fellow countrymen. He had borne the stress of wartime troubles and the hardships of European negotiations which he undertook in person. On top of this he insisted, against the advice of some of his friends, on taking the platform in America in behalf of the cause which he had at heart. Paid the Penalty of Overdoing. President Harding had not only the troubles of an administration beset with difficulties consequent on the war, but he met with unusual domestic policy difficulties because of disagreements with some of the leading members of his party. The President's trip to the South in the spring did him good, but even that trip in a way was a working trip. In the heat of the summer he started on a long journey, one of the hardest journeys ever undertaken by a president of the United States. He paid the penalty of overdoing. Every president of the United States seemingly feels that he ought to carry a message to the people two or three times at least during his administration. The idea of the presidents has been that they must give an account of their stewardship and that the people expect it of them. In view of what happened to Woodrow Wilson it is the feeling of Washington officials that the country readily would have understood and have approved of a determination on Mr. Harding's part that he would rest rather than travel. A few weeks before he left for the Northwest President Harding told the newspaper correspondents here that he believed he could get a much better understanding of what was necessary for the rehabilitation of Alaska if he should make a tour of personal study and observation. He felt that the Alaska trip was a duty and he, like other presidents, felt also that he ought to visit his constituents in the various states. What some of the government officials hope is that in the future presidents may come to believe that their duty to the administration as an administration is paramount to any duty which will tax strength and imperil life. Roosevelt Seemed Tireless. Theodore Roosevelt was a great traveler and a great worker. Seemingly he was tireless; there was no holding him. After he left the presidency he went at once to Africa and there suffered hardships. He was a glutton for more hardships, and the majority of people think that South America killed him. He lived to the age of sixty. With his constitution he probably ought to have lived to the age of eighty and probably would so have lived if he had not been an apostle of the gospel of constant work plus recreation which in his case was also work. William H. Taft, as president traveled more than any other chief executive in the history of the United States, but Mr. Taft was an easy traveler. He made all his work easy. Temperamentally he was different from any presidents of modern times. If he had not been the difficulties and disappointments that he met as president, plus his strenuous traveling, probably would have prevented him from being physically fit to occupy the high position that he holds today. Probably no American excepting one who lives, so to speak, on the spot, realizes the work that falls to the lot of every president of the United States even in times of ease from worry over great governmental problems. Every hour of the president's working day is filled. People who have no business to see him insist on seeing him. He must write scores of letters on unimportant subjects. Some presidents have felt that they must apologize to the country because they take a few hours off for the purpose of recreation. The hardest-worked American citizen at all times is the American citizen who occupies the White House. Next Session May Be Lively. Washington in the summertime is fond of dealing in futures. The capital is only really the capital when congress is in session and the President is in the White House. It is a sort of half capital when either is away. As soon as congress adjourns Washington folk deal in terms of the next fall and winter. Even the society editors of the newspapers get into the habit of future dealing. Society is not altogether lively here in the hot months and so the female portrayers of the fobles, fashions and dolings of society write almost daily of the glories of the things that are to come. It makes a sort of excuse for the absence of actual news from columns ordinarily devoted to the immediate activities of the socially elect. Officials here seem to feel that the future, or at least the next winter part of the future, is to bring with it some picturesque doings in congress, provided some of the statesmen and near-statesmen who just now are telling what they intend to do shall attempt to do what they promise to attempt. One senator who has not been long in congress asserted somewhat vehemently recently that next winter he will bend his efforts to an attempt to see to it that no "stand-patters" have dominant places on the chief committees of the senate. He Has Some Job Ahead. Now, of course, by "stand-patters" this somewhat new senator means the conservative members of the upper house, both Democratic and Republican. Just how he is going to accomplish his purpose of keeping the conservative element in the senate off the big committees he does not attempt to say. Let one who has been in Washington many years and who has watched more or less closely the proceedings in both houses say there is some job ahead of the gentleman who is to attempt to deny to the representatives of the conservative element in the communities the right to sit in any committee however big. Majorities rule in the senate as they rule elsewhere in the United States. If the senate should be composed of a majority of members who do not want this or that man on a certain committee, this man or that man would not go on a certain committee, but the conservatives of the senate even today are in the majority, and more than this, the old-time senators, whether conservatives, liberals or radicals, are great sticklers for precedents. A man who has seniority right for promotion on a committee will get it and no thunderings or fire breathings from a senator yet wearing pin feathers will avail to prevent. It is a bromide, but nevertheless there is nothing new under the sun. In the warm summertime in the presence of their enthusiastic constituents new senators before this time have declared until high heaven what they were going to do when they arrived in the halls of congress. Rarely have they done what they said they would Some Unfulfilled Threats. One senator prior to entering upon his office promised that he would walk up the center aisle of the senate and defy the vice president to refuse to recognize him when he was demanding his right "to speak in behalf of the down-trodden people of his constituency." This senator was going "to tweak their noses" and do worse things to the members of the senate majority which would attempt to still his voice in the great debates for human rights. It was great stuff, but it never came off. Yet another senator newly elected was going to change the entire procedure of the upper house. No mossbacks could daunt or flaunt him. His coming was watched with nothing sharper than curiosity. He came, he saw, but he did not conquer. He learned a few things about senatorial procedure from the colleague of his own party before he had been in his sent twenty-four hours. He subsided and kept that silence for at least a year, which in his ease at least he found to be golden. They are all going to do it, but none of them ever has done it. There are a good many so-called radicals in the United States senate today and several new ones among them who perhaps would like to turn the senate into a bear garden, but they won't do it. The radicals get conservative as far as senate procedure is concerned, and conservative they remain. The old-time radicals sit on the new radicals just as hard as the conservatives sit on them. Radical legislation will get its consideration, but it won't get it any quicker because some new senator gets upon his feet and yells. Strange Experience. The other day my little daughter called me to come at once, as there was a mouse on the cabinet. As I ran I picked up a catup bottle which I had just cleaned and placed on the cabinet and stood ready to use it as a weapon, but waited in vain for the mouse to appear. Finally noticing that the bottle was moving in my hand, I looked at it and discovered the mouse inside as badly frightened as I was.—Chicago Journal. Armenia Has Night Schools.

As the last words of the minister were spoken the solemnly bowed heads came up with a sudden alertness and a slight rustle passed over the congregation as men stooped for their hats and women greeted their neighbors in quiet undertones. Slowly they made their way toward the doors and out into the almost blinding sunshine that poured over everything with all the abandon of a bright spring morning in the country. "Sunday!" John Walters unconsciously whispered the word under his breath as he hesitated a moment on the top step of the church. It was strange, he reflected, that there should be a subtle difference between Sunday and the other days. Something intangible, but nevertheless there. He could see it; the roads, the trees, the very sunshine itself was not quite the same, and so strongly did he feel this difference that he believed that if in some manner he could lose all track of the days of the week he would know when Sunday came. He walked slowly down the street, breathing in the fresh clean air. What a contrast to the ten years he had spent in the city trying to make a name for himself—working, working day and night with just one idea in mind. After all, was it worth while? He had missed so much, he had had no time for friends or recreation. Now as he glanced about at the passing couples a feeling of loneliness swept over him. Nearly everyone had some one to talk to, but no one knew him. He was the stranger in the land. He had motored out to Newton several times before and attended church because somehow it took him back to his boyhood days and he felt that there was more sincere religion in a little country congregation than in a dozen fashionable city churches. Perhaps he was right, perhaps not, but a strange peace and comfort seemed to come over him when listening to the simple sermon of some earnest young minister. As he walked back toward the boarding house where he expected to have dinner he dimly noticed the slender figure of a girl in front of him and there was something vaguely familiar about her that teased him every time he glanced in her direction. Who could she be? He knew her, yet he didn't know her. Anyhow, there was one bond between them, they were both alone. Who could she be? He quickened his pace. "Margaret Cole, as sure as I live!" he exclaimed as he came abreast of her. "John Walters, as sure as I live!" laughed the girl, extending her hand. "How you have changed," he said admiringly as he took in the dancing eyes and flushed cheeks. "You're—you're positively—" "A girl's apt to change a little between the ages of twelve and eighteen," she smiled, breaking in on him. "But what are you doing here?" he asked. "Oh, we moved out here two years ago. Father's teaching at the girls' seminary." Soon they were laughing and talking of old times—of the days when they were next door neighbors in the West. "I fell quite in love with you that last time I went back home," he laughed. "I watched you playing with your dolls one day and you were the happiest, motherliest little kid." "You're a flatterer," she told him. "Not a bit of it. May I walk home with you?" "Oh, you're coming to our house to dinner, of course. I didn't even think that it was necessary to mention it." "Thanks so much. I hoped you would ask me. I shall enjoy seeing your parents again." Never was youth more fascinating, he thought, as he glanced at his companion—the lithe figure, the quick step, the parted lips, the radiant face that seemed to be expecting some thrilling thing to happen every second. It was a gay dinner they had that Sunday. Everybody laughed and joked a great deal, and John Walters felt really happy for the first time in years. "You'll came back next week, won't you?" Professor Cole asked warmly as he took his guest's hand. "And the next and the next and the next, if you'll let me," laughed Walters. "You'll always find a warm welcome," the professor assured him. Before the summer was over it had become a regular habit for Walters to motor down to Newton on Sunday, take Margaret to church and have dinner at her home afterward, and by the time the trees were turning he knew that he had at last found the girl, but Margaret showed no signs of a similar feeling. When he said anything to indicate his feeding she laughed at him and called him a perfectly dreadful flirt. What was the use of proposing to a girl in that mood anyway? Yet he must know where he stood. He could bear the suspense no longer. "I have something to show you after dinner," he told her one day. "Oh, good!" she answered in an undertone. "I love to see things. How can I ever wait?" ▲ little later in the afternoon, when they were again seated on the porch, she brought up the subject again. "What was it you were going to show me?" she asked eagerly. "Oh, yes." He slipped a hand into his pocket and brought forth two birthday cards addressed in a childish scrawl to himself. "I've kept them all these years," he said, handing them to her, "because—because I loved you even then. Now do you still think I'm flirting?" "Oh, John," she said softly, "What a dear you are! I am afraid I've been too flippant. Really, I didn't know you cared that much. I was afraid it was only at best some passing fancy. But—but I'm awfully glad. No, wait a minute. Sit down. For a penny I'd show you something because I've been so horrid to you, but I guess it'll spoil you forever. I'll do it anyway. You stay right here and I'll be back in a minute." She flitted through the doorway and returned a moment later with one hand behind her back. "Shut your eyes tight," she said. "now look." And there in front of him were three birthday cards addressed to her in a handwriting that he had little difficulty in recognizing. "I—I kept these because—" she stammered, but got no further for John had taken her into his arms. "You little fraud," he laughed happily. "You're the flirt and all the time I thought you didn't care. What a dance you've led me!" MASTERPIECE OF GREEK ART Bronze Mirror Made Centuries Before Christ Added to Collection in British Museum. A Grecian bronze mirror, 2,400 years old, has been added to the British museum's collection of Greek antiquities. Its age has been deduced from a comparison with other early Greek bronzes found in the Acropolis excavations. According to a bulletin of the Copper and Brass association, the mirror dates from earlier than 470 B. C. It measures seven inches in diameter across the disk, which is plain, except for an egg-and-tongue molding and beading around the delicately-worked edge. Marvelously well preserved, it bears witness to the greatness of the ancient Greek metal workers, as indeed to the enduring qualities of the material in which they wrought. The disk rests on a base forming an arc of a circle, with a voluted palmette in the center supporting it. Below are the figures of a winged youth and winged malden, springing apart, one on either side, as though for flight from a central lotus flower. Under the flower is a spike which was probably fixed originally in some kind of a pedestal, as the whole work seems too large and heavy to have been used as a hand-mirror. The figures themselves are molded in the round, but the rest of the group is in flat relief. The girl, whose figure is draped, is shown holding a fold of her skirt, while the boy, who is nude, carries a wreath. It is believed that they represent Agon (Contest) and Nike (Victory). The earlier bronzes found in the Acropolis excavations allowed less freedom to the forms. The new statue is, in fact, a later modification of the "kneeeling run" pose, as the feet of the figures are brought closer together than had been the former custom of the bronze metal workers. Age of Giants. In these pages I praised the publishers of Augustus Thomas' autobiography for making it a light book, easy to hold. Just after reading my compliment Prof. F. W. C. Meyer of Rochester received a German folio Bible printed in 1672, weighing twenty-five pounds, and the title page bore this comforting legend, which I translate: "Now, however, through the grace of God, we have for the first time printed this book in comfortable and readable shape." The old Bible readers were a hardy race—Scribner's Magazine. Odd Names. Odd names appear occasionally in American newspapers, as for instance one in an obituary notice in recent New York dailies, in which the name Gard'ner is printed thus, with an apostrophe; but this is outclassed by the following, brought to light by an accidental turning of the leaves of the English "Who's Who": Sir Rustomjee Cowsajee Corsetjee Jamsetjee Jeeeboy of Mazagon castle, Bombay; and Gen, Roger Pine-Coffin of Berhamsted, Herts. -Outlook. Two Purposes Served. The operation was a great success and the lady spoke of it with enthusiasm around the circle of her feminine friends, which included the doctor's wife. But when a bill was sent in for $200 she protested that it was too much. The medical man was kind but firm. "The bill, madam," said he, "is very reasonable. That operation has provided you with health for a long time to come and with conversation for the rest of your life." Handling Eggplants With Gloves. So sensitive is an eggplant that the mere warmth of bare fingers pressing upon the surface ever so lightly, bruising the tender tissues underneath the skin the tiniest bit, will cause it to decay. This slight mashing of the tissues takes place in any event, but if they do not come directly in contact with warm hands it does not have any harmful effect on the eggplants. For this reason professional packers of the vegetable wear canvas gloves. During MAY and JUNE we will make a SPECIAL LOW PRICE On all work in our line. Furnaces Installed, Cleaned, Repaired.

Inadequate Functioning of Federal Agencies for Veterans' Relief By J. A. McFARLAND, Commander Disabled American Veterans. WHILE one of the prime objects of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War is to avoid friction with any other veterans' group or with congress, we feel that our membership roll, composed exclusively of men disabled in line of duty, has given us a power that will do much to solve the unsatisfactory functioning of the federal agencies having to do with the relief of the war's maimed. The hospitalization situation is unsatisfactory. There are 29,000 men abroad in the land who have been discharged from hospitals as having reached the maximum improvement, but whose mental or physical condition is still such that they cannot be vocationally trained. We want these men provided for by being given a temporary and total compensation rating until they are in condition to do for themselves. There are 19,000 men in jails, many of whom are admitted to be so deranged as a result of service that they were not fully responsible for their acts. We want these men surveyed and given treatment rather than incarceration. There are groups of parasites who are using fake magazines and organizations to rob the public of millions in contributions under the guise of relief for the disabled. We want the Department of Justice and the Post Office department to put them out of action. There are hundreds of the tubercular and mental cases that have been in the hospitals two or three years. We want all men who have been in the hospitals upward of one year declared permanent and total, so they may get payments on the insurance they took out during the war. There is a movement on to reduce pay of men in training and we will fight this to the limit of our strength; we want the investigation of the inefficiency of the Veterans' bureau made thorough and speeded up and we want the Civil Service commission to give proper credits for all men who have been declared rehabilitated by the Veterans' bureau. Leavened Bread May Be Made From Materials Other Than Wheat and Rye By C. L. ALSBERG, in Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. "Since agriculture and food manufacture are essentially forms of applied biochemistry, physical chemistry has made possible great advances of immediate practical usefulness. Without physical chemistry our present-day conceptions of the equilibria that prevail in soils and in the soil solution would be impossible. "An increase in our knowledge of the behavior of colloids and of emulsions is destined to influence profoundly the world's methods of food production. For example, wheat owes its pre-eminence as a bread grain in large measure to the fact that it contains a mixture of proteins known as gluten, which, when mixed with water, forms a tenacious, elastic mass. For this reason wheat and, to a less degree, rye, alone of all the grains yield dough. "Because of the physical qualities of gluten—its toughness, its distensibility and its coagulability by heat—it is possible to produce leavened bread. These qualities of gluten do not depend primarily upon the arrangement of the atoms in the molecule but rather upon the physical condition of molecular aggregates. "It is not too much to hope that physico-chemical research upon colloids will one day enable us to control the colloidal state to such an extent that we can give to a colloid essentially those physico-chemical properties that we desire. If this can be done, and there is no inherent impossibility in the idea, it may be possible to give to other proteins beside gluten the physico-chemical properties of gluten. "When that time comes, leavened bread will be produced from materials or grain other than wheat and rye. What this would mean to the food supply and the future of the race is obvious." It is useless for England to defend herself against air raids by building up a tremendous air fleet. All we can do is to retaliate and wipe out our enemies if possible. In the war of the future one bomb will wipe out the inhabitants of a small town, and a rain of bombs will destroy every living thing in a large city. When that stage is reached, the profession of arms will be reduced to absurdity. No one, either combatants or noncombatants, will survive. For all we can tell, civilization may end in smoke and dust. To arm, therefore, in such a fashion, is not to defend this country from attack by air, for the country is very indefensible. Some who are campaigning for larger air forces are under the impression that the only way to avoid air raids is to be strong in the air. That is an absurd contention. However powerful a nation may be in the air, it cannot prevent airplanes of a rival country from penetrating its defenses. I do heartily believe in research into all matters connected with aviation, for aviation is the coming transport of the future and a tremendous advance in air travel is inevitable. Women Crowding to the Front in Sports, Closer to Championship Laurels Hundreds of women are crowding to the front in sports, creeping closer year by year to the championship laurels that until now have been worn exclusively by men in all lines of athletics. I predict that Miss Bauer's swimming record definitely marks the beginning of an era when the world's sport crowns will fall, one by one, before the conquests of the "weaker sex," and that eventually women will wear as many of these prizes as men. In golf, women are slowly but surely driving to the front. In tennis, one of the first games women took up, man's supremacy is being threatened. I am quite sure that Molla Mallory or Suzanne Lenglen could defeat all but two or three of our best men players. Experts predict that Miss Helen Wills, fifteen-year-old star, will eclipse both Mrs. Mallory and Mademoiselle Lenglen. Women are steadily gaining on men in basketball, offsetting man's natural superior weight by their greater natural agility and team-work. School-girls can now run the 100-yard dash in 12 seconds or better, as compared with 10 1-5 seconds for boys of the same age. 1910 Licensed Embalmer and Director Phone F414W Lady Assistant.
