ANNUAL CONFERENCE OPENED IN KANSAS CITY, KANSAS Mayor and County Counselor Deliver Addresses of Welcome; President Coolidge Sends Message of Greeting VOL. XXIX. N. A. A. C. P. ANNU OPENED IN KANS Mayor and County C dresses of Welcome; Sends Message KANSAS CITY, KANSAS.—With delegates in attendance from nearly every state in the Union the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People opened its Fourteenth Annual Conference in Kansas City, Kansas, with a mass meeting on the night of Wednesday, August 29. Mayor W. W. Gordon and the Hon. J. L. Brady, County Counselor of Wyandotte County, delivered warm addresses of welcome and a message of greeting was read from President Calvin Coolidge in which the President termed the N. A. A. C. P. as "representative of one of the most useful and effective efforts in behalf of the colored people of the country." Others who spoke at the meeting were Bishop W. T. Vernon of the A. M. E. church of South Africa, and Lester A. Walton, Negro staff correspondent of the New York World. On the day before the meeting special cars rolled into the Kansas City terminal, bringing delegates and visitors from all parts of the country and it was estimated fully 500 people come to the conference from other parts of the country, states as distant as Texas, California and New Jersey being represented. In his address of welcome Mayor Gordon asserted that colored people were entitled to the co-operation of whites and should have it. He said there had never been racial strife in Kansas City, Kansas, and said that relations were so cordial he had told the police department "to go fishing" during the conference. Mayor Gordon said: "The destiny of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People lies within the co-operation of its membership because no organization of any kind, no state or nation, can survive wave of opposition unless those who compose the organization stand nobly by it and advocate its cause. In doing this, you must have the co-operation of the white race as well as of the colored race. This you are entitled to receive and I have no doubt that this co-operation will be gladly given you. Bishop Vernon spoke of the injustices that were driving colored people northward from the southern states and Mr. Walton of the New York World urged that the migrants be helped in every possible way to adjust themselves in their new environment. He urged the establishment of housing commissions, composed jointly of white and colored citizens. White Southern Woman Speaks.

Bickett, widow of the former governor of North Carolina, and chairman of the woman's section of the Inter-Racial Committee, delivered an address of greeting from that body and told of the southern women's efforts to stamp out lynching and mob violence. The program of the N. A. A. C. P. Conference included a visit to the Federal penitentiary on Saturday, September 1, where the delegates and visitors were to talk with the imprisoned mem- bers of the Twenty-fourth infantry, sentenced after the Houston riot.

He is cheerfully located in that city. We wish him success. Rev. Thornton pastored Allen Chapel in Cheyenne for one year ending September 2. The church organization was not as strong as it should have been on account of official misunderstanding which was not properly adjusted by one of the past presiding elders, resulting a poor financial report for the year. Rev. Thornton preached his usual characteristic sermon on Sunday evening, August 26. In his "after-talk" he "missed nobody." Mrs. Nellie Claggett and daughter, Miss Gladys of Kansas City, are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Jefferson, No. 510 West 19th street.

Jackson's discourse Sunday morning was a real treat to all present. His subject was "Christ's Test of Discipleship." Rev. A. C. Murphy spoke well at Allen Chapel Sunday evening, the 2nd. His subject was "Occupy Till I Come." There was a good audience at both churches. Mrs. Edna Tivis, little Miss Dorothy and baby sister Alice Jean, left for home at Ellsworth, Kan., on the 31st. Mrs. Lewis from Oklahoma City, who has been in Boulder for the past two months, left for her home on Sunday, the 2nd. Mrs. S. E. Tinsley and daughter went as far as Denver with her.

Secretary Work said that it is due to the insufficient facilities for the education of the colored race in the medical and dental professions existing throughout the United States. At the present time the medical school of Howard University is being conducted in a small building. The proposed appropriation would be used to built a large structure, which would practically double its present capacity. INTER-RACIAL COMMITTEES TRYING TO STOP LYNCHING AND MOBISM IN THE SOUTH KANSAS CITY, Kan.—Mrs. Thomas W. Bickett, widow of Governor Bickett of North Carolina, speaking at the sessions of the race relations conference being held here by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today told of the history and work of the Interracial Committees throughout the South, in stamping out mobism and lynching and bringing about better relations between colored and white people. Mrs. Bickett appeared at the race relations conference as a representative of the Interracial Commitman of the woman's committee of the is chairman. Her address was as follows: "As a member of the commission on Interracial Co-operation and chairman of the woman's committee of the commission, it gives me pleasure to present to the National Organization for the Advancement of Colored People a short history of the formation and work of the commission. "Shortly after the armistice distrust and suspicion fanned by propaganda of various sorts seemed abroad in our land and mob violence, which had greatly decreased during the war broke out afresh. It was in this crisis that the Commission in Inter-racial Cooperation came into existence. At the center of this group were John J. Eagan, manufacturer and churchman. Rev. W. W. Alexander, Y. M. C. A. war representative, and Dr. N. Ashby Jones, noted minister of Atlanta. Out of the thought and prayer of such men and others equally consecrated the commission was born. Its membership was made up of leading educators, ministers, professional and business men from every state in the South, including many prominent Negroes. State committees were organized, especially where the situation was acute, with the co-operation of the Y. M. C. A. machinery and financed by the War Work Council. Better feeling immediately became noticeable, and having proved its efficacy in this crisis the commission determined to enlarge its sphere and seek to permanently improve race conditions and put them upon a Christian basis. "To this end committees have been set up in every state and 800 counties. Threatened lynchings and riots have been prevented, injustices have been corrected, co-operation for mutual welfare has been brought about and more friendly relations established especially in communities where conditions were critical. "An interesting recent development is the enlisting of leading women of the South to co-operate with the various state committees and to promote the study of this question in their civic and religious organizations. In every case the women have made strong pronouncements against mob violence and in favor of justice to the Negro, especially the Negro women and children. The personnel of the committee has increased from forty men to over 150 men and women, a large number of these belonging to the Negro race and who contribute largely to the councils of the commission. "We are a long, long way from solving the race problem in the South, but we have made a hopeful beginning. As interested, thoughtful, white men and women we are seeking through our civic and religious organizations to meet in a spirit of co-operation the leading men and women of the Negro race in the community in which we live. We are co-operating in a study of Negro community life, in housing and sanitation, better neighborhood conditions, educational opportunities and the needs of Negro women and children especially. We are becoming increasingly conscious of the fact that as in authority, our responsibility towards the Negro cannot be evaded, and many of our people are going forward with a determination that no unfair advantage shall be taken of the Negro, but that he shall receive justice and fair treatment which is his due, and which we cannot withhold if we wish to retain our self-respect. "Above all, through this commission we are seeking to bring about a better understanding and a greater helpfulness of the races, one to the other, and as individuals, and a commission to put into practice the words of Him who said, 'Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so to them.'" France Bans "Birth of Nation" France Bans "Birth of Nation" French Prohibit Showing of Vicious Film as Negroes Show Resentment Paris, Aug. 31.—Because feelings of French Negroes have been outraged by the barbarities of Americans, who resented their presence in restaurants and bars the showing of D. W. Griffith's film, "The Birth of a Nation," has been prohibited by the police. The censor passed on the picture favorably twelve days ago, but it is understood the police ban has been clapped on as a concession to France's Negro population. Premier Poincare himself has officially recognized their complaints by publishing a general warning to Americans that the equal rights of French Negroes must be respected. The attempt to "put over" "The Birth of a Nation" upon the French public is another of a long series of determined attempts being made by white Americans to impose their color prejudices upon the people of Europe. These attempts, backed as they are on several occasions by American officials, give the average European the impression of a war being fought out over the breadth and length of Europe between the United States of America and the Negro race.

WASHINGTON President Coolidge was advised by Fred Starek, director of the war finance corporation, that the corporation, despite apprehensions by some western cattlemen, had no intention of forcing liquidation of cattle loans. Mr. Starek informed the President during a conference that the policy of the corporation was to deal liberally with the cattlemen to whom credit has been extended and who must have longer term loans than farmers who have a yearly turnover. Cattlemen although yet facing difficulties, in the opinion of Mr. Starek, must have a restoration of confidence along with all those concerned with the cattle industry.

Continued fall of grain prices in the world markets threatens to make Russian grain exports unprofitable and is having a tremendous effect on the Russian peasantry in the lowering of prices in the home market. As a counter measure, the council of commissars has ordered the remittance of a number of taxes on all grain destined for export.

Improved Hotel Service. In some New York hotels there are two devices to diminish the business of bellboys. Icewater circulates in every room. Then there is a device called the "servidor"—a small wardrobe which is built into the bedroom doors. The guest may open it from the inside and put his shoes and clothes into it. They will be noiselessly extracted by an attendant from the outside and returned shined and pressed. If a guest orders a bottle of saltet, or any other small object, it will be left by a hotel employee in the servidor. A signal on the doors shows instantly when anything is put into the servidor. Through it a newspaper is delivered silently every morning. Some men are fond of animals, Their hearts are full of pity; Why, we know chaps who'll sit up late To fatten up a kitty.

OUR HEAD PIECE A WOMAN is admired as much for her appearance as for her worth. A newspaper is valued as much for its make-up as for its matter. THE COLORADO STATESMAN wishes to excel in both. We therefore direct attention to our head piece. Like a hat, it changes the appearance of things. Our friends who have passed upon our top piece declare it is a "beauty." Simple in design, explicit in its aim, and artistic in appearance, it sets before our readers the purpose of this paper. A newspaper, like a person, likes to get into new togs once in a while. Since our paper is growing and meeting the demands of the people, we want to do all in our power to maintain it what it is—the best in the West—the people will do the rest. Our advertisers know that they are sure to reach the people through THE COLORADO STATESMAN, and the management will spare no expense to give Colorado people the very best in editorials, news and events happening among the race from every quarter of the earth. It is a newspaper's mission not only to print local news, but to give the people a glimpse of the world's doings as it affects the race everywhere. This is what we are doing. Logical editorials every week, touching local and national affairs, such as is not printed in many other papers west of Chicago. Besides, the best from magazines, pamphlets and exchanges. We ask you to compare our paper with any Negro journal and see if you don't get your money's worth long before the year is out. A TOUCH OF SORROW THE whole world claims kinship to the stricken Empire of Japan today, drawn more closely by the terrible visitation of sorrow through the destructive force of an earthquake. Japan is practically a ruined country, her people are dismayed and terror stricken. At this time it is almost next to impossible to give anything like an accurate estimate of the life and property losses. Of late years Japan has been none too prosperous and was very slow in recovering from the burdens of the World war. As a consequence the little flowery kingdom is not in a physical or industrial condition to readily meet the exactions of the present calamity. The world must offer succor and the world will do so. Our sympathies, though genuine, will not suffice. It matters not that the Japanese are of a different nationality and of different habits, customs and perhaps civilization, they are nevertheless ours by the ties of human kinship and they will not be permitted to weep alone, nor to suffer unaided. The world is so sorely in travail that one wonders what will happen next. We hardly turn from one catastrophe until another is upon us. If it were possible to discern a silver lining amid such blackened clouds as now hover over Japan, it would be in the easy approach to the world's heart as widened by the instantaneous relief coming from every quarter of the civilized globe. Japan will rise again to the dignity of a mighty power and nation, though the task be a huge one. THE POOR BELOW a certain degree of affluence everybody considers himself poor. The man of moderate wealth or of easy circumstances will tell you that he is a poor man. The great majority of individuals. THE POOR BELLOW a certain degree of affluence everybody considers himself poor. The man of moderate wealth or of easy circumstances will tell you that he is a poor man. The great majority of individuals, making up the bulk of the population, many owning homes and enjoying modest comforts and all in circumstances assuring an enduring period of ability to earn and command a living wage in exchange for their labor, all lay claim to the characterization of being poor. In personal assumption and belief, at least, nine-tenths of the people of the world thus classify themselves, for purposes of comparison with those whose settled possessions place them above the necessity for the co-operation and assistance of others for the securing of their actual needs. So great and extensive is the desire to claim sympathy, or to be absolved to a certain degree from responsibilities or binding obligations of conscience, that only fighting room is left in the world for the destitute or half destitute to be very poor. In fact, however, the man who has health and strength and opportunity and ability is not poor, and a large majority of the people of the world have these. That some men amass great fortunes while others, of similar station and identical opportunities at the start, acquire only moderate possessions or drift to failure, is due not always to special genius, but often to that peculiar and seemingly supernatural direction which leads one struggling prospector to abandon a claim wherein another casual but earnest searcher stumbles upon a limitless bonanza. Complicated conditions, some founded upon the errors of social forms and some beyond human control, have to do with the making of some rich men, the keeping of the many in the ranks of imeprative labor and the woes of the destitute. But the poor are only those who struggle helplessly against constant want, or who are afflicted and needy. Some there are who are help-they are on the way to destitution. The rest of us, making up the great majority of humanity, have the power to alter and improve our conditions. And all of us owe a duty to the poor which we should not seek to escape. Those who are worse off than we are have a moral claim upon us. The pittance to the needy, the ministrations to the afflicted, the placing of new opportunities in the way of the apparently helpless; these are the obligations which appeal to the human conscience, and which should pass down fulfilled, from the millionaire to the day laborer. Perhaps Four Chief Qualities Among the English-Speaking Peoples By SIDNEY BALDWIN, British Premier. THE common civilization which we all inherited is that old civilization of western Europe, which for seventeen centuries has been built up through the blood and tears of generations of men, of saints and soldiers, kings and statesmen, and we are seeing that civilization cracking today. The whole world, consciously or unconsciously, not vocally, none the less in reality, is looking for salvation from the subject of this toast, "The British Empire and the United States." There may perhaps be four chief qualities, persistent, consistent, among the English-speaking people. They have alike, from long inheritance, an innate sense of justice. Secondly, there is that real democratic feeling of valuing a man for what he is. There is, thirdly, that sense of political freedom, neither degenerated on the one side to license nor on the other hand retrograding into tyranny. Lastly, there is the love of spiritual freedom, a belief that men in the English speaking races can worship in their own form and their own manner. I believe in those four things you have the fundamental principles that guide all our people alike. You have that consistent product of the stock which gives us, in my belief, that strength of character that gives people a feeling that we can be trusted, that we are a support of serving to the world. It always seems to me that what is true of individuals is true to a great extent of nations and groups of nations. I believe that in the true course of progress we shall, all of us—the nations in our empire and the United States—in our several ways, each pursuing our own development to the uttermost of our power, come to unite wherever justice calls us throughout the world and wherever there is peace to be insured. If there is building up to do in the world it is we in the long run who will have to do that building, and whether the time is come now, or whether it is in the future, let every one of us here cherish at least that ideal in the firm conviction that sooner or later opportunity will be given to us for its realization. But for the men who have to lay their hands to that task they will want the courage of a Pitt and the faith of a Lincoln. Public Schools Need Opportunity to Catch Up With the Demand Upon Them The greatest need of our public school systems today is an opportunity to catch up with the demands that have been made upon them in recent years. Increased and enforced compulsory education laws have properly brought to the schools not only the problems of educating the normal child under the changed social and industrial conditions of the last quarter of a century, but the most baffling problem of making socially minded, and to some extent trained, almost every conceivable kind of special case problem that the community affords. Awaking to the fact that the immigrant could not, in safety to us, be allowed to come and shift for himself, the community has brought to the public schools its great, and even yet inadequate program for immigrant education. The community demands for vocational education of varying kinds; for wiping out illiteracy in the country; for preventing the weakened man power due to the ill-health conditions revealed by the war, and for guaranteeing all the quality characters that the church, the home and every other agency were ever supposed to guarantee, are too well known to require more than this brief reference. The simple fact is that the public schools have been required to make up the deficiencies, avoidable or otherwise, of private agencies in the community, vastly more rapidly than they have been supplied with facilities for doing the work. We Are Getting to Know That Man Is a Trinity of Soul, Mind and Body By REV. EDWARD COSBEY, St. Mark's-on-the-Bowerie. The establishment of a "health center" at the Church of St. Mark's in the Bouwerie, New York, is an answer to the assertion that religion and science are irretrievably at odds. There is no conflict between the two. The plan adopted constitutes a complete co-operation between men specially trained as clergymen and specialists in medicine and psychiatry. And if there is one thing against which this attempt is directed it is against quackery of every sort. We believe that no man who has seen both medicine and religion will deny there are thousands of cases where both are needed to work for a cure. There can be no patience with a person who relies on prayer alone to mend a broken leg. And there ought to be just as little patience with the person who relies on medicine alone for the cure of diposmania. More and more we are getting to know that man is a trinity of soul, mind and body; that one of these cannot be treated for defects without reference to the other two. Yet each field is so deep and absorbing that it has a tendency to create its own exclusive specialists. We hope that St. Mark's will be made a meeting ground and clearing house for this specialized knowledge. Every Lawyer Owes a Duty as a Citizen to Both the Judge and Public By CHIEF JUSTICE F. E. THOMPSON, Illinois Supreme Court. There are constantly pending before our courts of last resort cases the decision of which intimately and profoundly concerns the lives and welfare of thousands of men and women, and such cases demand not only the time, but the energy and ability of the judges. No judge with that sense of responsibility and duty to his state which every Supreme court judge may be assumed to have would participate in deciding such important cases without making an exhaustive examination of the facts and the law, and men carrying such responsibility should not be harassed and annoyed by the investigation of trifling and unimportant cases. The people are entitled to have their time and strength reserved and conserved for use in the investigation and decision of questions of public interest and importance which are constantly being presented to them. Every lawyer therefore owes a duty not alone to the judge, but to the public, to ask himself candidly as a citizen rather than as an advocate whether a case which he proposes to carry to the courts of review is of sufficient general importance to justify his imposing the labor of an examination of it upon the court organized primarily to deal with matters of general public interest.

NOTES On Thursday morning the workmen came from the Colorado Wrecking Company and began work on the old building, 2800 Glenarm place, ‘The work, however, was not in the nature of repairs, as sadly as the old struc~ ture was in need of it; that could not have been planned, for two years ago the word went out, “Not another dol- lar for repairs.” The work begun by the men was the work of destruction rather than construction. In other words they began tearing the old ‘building down to make room for the new. It was with difficulty that the boys, unrepealed by their natural pro- clivity had been restrained from be- ginning this destruction work earlier in the week. As the old brick next door has been already laid low the cor- ner will now soon be cleared off and will doubtless be ready for use by the time the contract is let.

Smithsonian institution has been enriched by a ton and a half of speci- mens taken during the last summer from the Burgess Pass fossil quarry in British Columbia, which was discov- ered less than ten years ago. The work was done mainly by Secretary Wolcott of the institution, and his wife, In two months a section of the quarry 180 feet square was taken out, practi- cally exhausting the site which has yielded some of the finest specimens of middle Cambrian fossils yet’ dis- covered and the finest invertebrate fos- sils yet found in any formation. Large blocks of hard shale were first blasted loose, than carefully split with chisel and hammer to expose any fossil re- mains between the laminae. The shale has preserved for some twenty million years animals that were as soft and nonresistant as jellyfish, worms, crabs, etc. notwithstanding all the vicisst- tudes these rocks haye since under- gene fromthe time they were simply hardened mud. They have been sub- jected to much pressure and profound chemical change, but the fossils re- main perfect. WHEN SUN BEGINS TO COOL Humanity In Its Maturity Will In All Probability Be Able to Con- ‘carce teat: We can calculate the evolution of the ‘temperature of the earth in the fu ture. The sun will grow smaller and cooler. Thus in 160,000 years, when the radius of the sun has diminished by only one-hundredth part, our tem- perature will be not more than 26 de- grees C. (78.8 degrees F.) at the equa- tor. It will have fallen to 0 degrees C. (82 degrees F.) at the latitude 48 degrees, and at Paris it will be be low zero (centigrade). Finally, In 850,000 years, when the radius of the sun has lost only five one-hundredths of its diameter and merely 500 degrees C. of its tempera- ture, the temperature of the equator will have fallen to zero centigrade and the entire earth will be frozen. Blo- logic evolution, which ascends into the past for a miliion years may descend {nto the future for an equal period of time. Moreover, the energy of the sua, whence proceeds our terrestrial en- ergy, will be then diminished by only one-tenth, Mankind will doubtless by that time have long been capable of capturing this energy directly, or transforming it as the chlorophyl of plants so admirably does, of making it serve perhaps for several million years longer to sustain his life and the development of his thought. he HOOVER ZEXEE Mik, eh aay Up. <A AE 7/4\ Housecleaning Time You'll appreciate the magic touch of the Hoover Electric Suc- tion Sweeper on your carpets, draperies and upholstering.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS To Strengthen Panama Canal Defenses Development of Naval Shore Stations Strong-Voiced Senate Next December Unpublished Washington Letter Found WASHINGTON.—Various means of strengthening the defenses of the Panama canal are suggested in an official Navy department critique, prepared as a result of a study of last spring's maneuvers in Panama bay. "In drawing up their estimates," says the critique, "both commanders considered the possibility of blocking the canal by an attack in force on the Pacific side defenses and locks." This situation, coupled with other facts developed during the maneuvers, led the naval experts to reach rather definite decisions as to the future needs of national defense in that quarter. The official critique concludes as follows: "Some of the benefits to be gained from this problem can be summarized in certain conclusions as follows: "There are certain well-defined weaknesses in the Panama canal defenses—these are: "Susceptibility of certain vital parts to damage by bombs carried by aircraft. "Grouping of the coast defense artillery too close together to prevent attacking vessels which have once RECOGNITION of the strategic importance of the Pacific is seen in the approval by the Navy department of recommendations of a naval board for development of American shore stations. More than 67 per cent of all appropriations for bases and naval depots and air stations during the next 20 years will go to the erection of first and second lines of support for the navy in the Pacific under the provisions of the report which, through the signature of Acting Secretary Roosevelt, became the basic policy of the department. Among the important projects which the board and the department have given formal approval were: Naval base, Honolulu, $42,528,000; naval base, San Francisco, $26,529,000; naval base, Puget Sound, $23,005,000; naval base, Canal Zone, $1,815,000; naval base, San Diego, $17,101,000. These projects, covering the western coast approaches, contemplate the expenditure of about $111,000,000 of the $155,486,000 aggregate of the entire program. Restrained by the five-power treaty from further development in the Philippines, Guam and Samoa, the board allotted only a small sum to these points for necessary repair work and recommended the concentration of defensive preparations in the Pacific to Hawaii with THE strongest-voiced senate in all history will convene next December, says the Washington correspondent of the Cleveland Plain Dealer in a dispatch to his newspaper. Primaries and populace have introduced overalls and wide-brimmed straw adorning the modern model, with a voice strong enough to carry from the wheat field to the house, and intended to be used in debate, according to specific advance notice, for "raising hell." In former days, outstanding vehemence in senate debate attracted general notice. "Fire-Alarm" Joe Foraker of Ohio was known from end to end of the country. Even more recently the attribute of oratorical enthusiasm was unusual enough to give his sobriquet to "Hell-Roaring" Hiram Johnson of California. This greatness is but a memory, when a glance is cast along "hell raisers" row in the new senate, where the talent of "Magnavox" Johnson of Minnesota and "Wildman" Brookhart LETTER written by George Washington about a month after the surrender of Cornwallis, and believed to have been unpublished, has been made public by Secretary Weeks. The letter was discovered by accident in old records of the house of representatives, and a photostat copy was presented to Mr. Weeks by William Tyler Page, clerk of the house. The letter was addressed to Robert H. Harris, who had been a member of Washington's staff and was a lawyer of distinction, who afterward refused, on account of ill health, a place on the Supreme court. The letter reads: "Mount Vernon, 18 Nov. 'S1. Dear Sir: "A few days previous to my leaving the Camp before York I was favoured with your letter of the ult.—Thinking I should see you on my return, I postponed acknowledging the receipt of it till now that I despair of that pleasure, being on the eve of my departure for Philadelphia without making any stay on the road except one day at Annapolis if the Govt. should be there— "I desired Doct Draper who came to this place with me on Tuesday last and proposed being at Portobacco next day, to let you know I should stay a gained control of the sea and air from reaching positions that will permit tiring on the Miraflores locks.

"The necessity for having a sustained speed of at least 12 knots for: "(a) Fleet submarines. "(b) All auxiliaries that will accompany the fleet. "The necessity for more maneuvers of this nature for fleet training. "The necessity of denying to any possible enemy a base within aircraft striking distance of the canal. "The desirability of studying the question of establishing by suitable treaties, aircraft base or bases at points within striking distance of the canal. "The necessity for looking ahead as to the probable and possible developments in submarines and aircraft." the immediate focus of development at Pearl Harbor. The experts agree that the completion of the program for Pearl Harbor was the most pressing now in view and set aside $2,000,000 for this one development. The program for naval air stations, outlined in a supplemental report, called for expenditure of an additional $16,458,000 to be provided in 20 equal annual installments. This report also has been definitely approved by the department. It gave prominent place to air depots in the Hawaiian group, recommending the department ask for $266,000 in the next appropriation bill as the first installment. The Hawaiian main project would be given $2,062,000 in the next budget and annual allotments of about $3,000,000 for each year between 1925 and 1938 when the work would be completed. With reference to the Atlantic and gulf coasts the Willard report recommended the following expenditures in the next 20 years: Naval base, New York, $12,430,000; naval base, Chesapeake bay, $6,750,000; naval base, Boston, $6,360,000; naval base, Key West, $1,485,000; naval base, Charleston, S. C., $1,514,000. Completion of the Great Lakes training camp as the single interior depot for personnel replacement was approved at a total cost of $3,095,000. of Iowa, with their associates credited with equal standing in the fellowship of rumpus raising is added to that of the colleague of longer experience and equal lung power, who has been waiting for them, the leader of them all, "Fighting Bob" LaFollette of Wisconsin. These newcomers to whom LaFollette has been beckoning to come sit beside him are arriving to do what the people of their states want them to do—stir up the dust in the senate and make the rafters ring with demands for a new deal loud enough to be heard back home without wires or wireless. Perhaps never before has the senate embraced at one time so much lung power and capacity for shaking all the old bones of government procedure.

NAMING OF SLEMP WAS A SURPRISE CAPITAL CORRESPONDENTS WERE ALL SURE CLARK WOULD BE SECRETARY TO PRESIDENT. WHAT APPOINTMENT MEANS Coolidge Apparently Selected Virginian Because He Wanted a Political Advisor—Former Congressman Well Informed and Without Party Enemies By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington. — Newspaperdom In Washington gets a blow to that possession which high-browed gentlemen sometimes speak of as amour propre. There was not a newspaper correspondent in this town who had any thought whatsoever that any man other than Edward T. Clark was to be appointed as secretary to the President. It follows just as thunder comes after lightning, therefore, that there was a distinct surprise and something of chingrin, because no one had guessed it, when the announcement was made at the White House that former Representative Campbell Bascom Slemp of Virginia had been appointed secretary to the President and had accepted the office. It is, of course, impossible always to analyze correctly the motives of men, but the politicians in Washington, notably those members of the two political parties who are charged with the work of directing campaigns, think that employment of Mr. Slemp means President Coolidge wants a political adviser as well as a private secretary and that he wants one who was not raised in the New England school and has not been an active participant in political dealings in any section of the country in which there are party troubles. Of course there may be Republican troubles in the place in Virginia from which Mr. Slemp comes, but they are isolated and local. Campbell B. Slemp knows the political situation in all parts of the United States as they affect the Republican party and its aims, but from the beginning he has been no party to the differences between the factions, wherever they may have had their being. Has No Enemies in Party More nearly than any other man perhaps who readily can be named, Mr. Slemp stands as the figure of one who knows all about it but who has aroused no animisties by knowing all about it. He never was a neutral probably as between Republican factions in any section of the country, but it is certain that in his capacity as a member of the Republican national committee, and in his political work generally, he never has been active on one side or the other in any trouble between the factions of his party in any state except his own, and Republicanism in Virginia is not strong. He has made no party enemies East, West or North. Will H. Hays, who was chairman of the Republican national committee in 1920 and as such directed the victorious Harding campaign, leaned upon Committeeman Slemp for advice upon important matters affecting not Mr. Slemp's home state, but other states. Mr. Hays apparently recognized the value of Mr. Slemp as an observer who was disinterested as between warring cliques and who, therefore, could be depended upon to give unpro-judiced counsel. All of the Washington newspaper correspondents, or virtually all of them, know Mr. Slemp. He has been a conspicuous figure about Republican headquarters in Washington, New York and Chicago for some years and, moreover, he was exceedingly prominent in congress, not only because of his legislative endeavors but owing to the fact that he was the only Republican representative in the house from the state of Virginia and one of only three or four Republicans to represent southern districts. Clark Is the Private Secretary. Edward T. Clark will remain as President Coolidge's personal private secretary. There are some politicians here who see in the dual arrangement a condition necessary for the President, if he has further political ambitions. Mr. Clark knows all about the party troubles in New England. He was for years the secretary to Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. New England is likely to make Calvin Coolidge its favorite son candidate for the presidency. Mr. Clark will fit into the personal secretaryship situation admirably; or, at least, so it would seem. In the other and outer office, the more public office, Mr. Slemp will be in evidence. He knows every member of either house of congress. He knows all the governors of states, Democratic or Republican, and he knows probably what they have been thinking about politically for the last decade. In other letters from Washington something was said about former President Harding's office aids. It was said specifically that Mr. Harding had a public secretary and also what in the most specific sense can be called a private secretary. One was George B. Christian and the other Judson C. Welliver. It would seem today that Calvin Coolidge may take a leaf out of the book of his predecessor. If he tries to carry out the Harding policies he will take many leaves out of that book but the one leaf mentioned is a personal and private leaf, a perusal of which may be advisable in party political matters, as it is in public service. Navy's Shore Program. Calling for an expenditure of $155,480,000, spread over a period of 20 years, a concrete program for development of the shore establishment of the United Stater navy, formulated by a special board and approved by Acting Secretary Roosevelt, is now ready for submission to congress. The immediate outlay, to be included in the budget this year, is $7,676,300, to be followed by slightly larger annual appropriations during the next 19 years. The estimate for this year includes $776,300 for essential repair work in the Philippines, Guam and Saoan, where, under the treaty limitations, no new development can be undertaken. Of the total of more than seven million recommended for inclusion in the budget this year, more than one-fourth $2,062,000, is for developing the base in the Hawaiian islands, the most pressing and vital naval need, according to all naval strategists, that confronts the United States. The other principal items are San Diego naval base, $1,295,000; Puget sound, $828,000; New York-Narragansett bay, $758,200; San Francisco bay, $470,000; Quantico (Marines), $340,000; Boston-Portsmouth, $261,000; Philadelphia, $215,500; Chesapeake bay, $1,500; Canal Zone, $250,000; Great Lakes training station, $140,000; Key West, Fla., $100,000, and Charleston, $32,000. For Naval Air Stations. Development of naval air stations, outlined in a supplementary report and approved by the department, calls for a total additional expenditure of $16,458,835, to be provided in equal annual appropriations during the next 20 years. For the budget this year an estimated appropriation of $820,000 will be needed, to be augmented by the amounts necessary to purchase four air stations—Sand Point, Wash.; Lakehurst, N. J.; Chatham, Mass., and the Marine flying field at Quantico, provided legislative authority for their acquisition is secured from congress. Carrying out of this program, naval authorities say, will give the United States a system of naval bases well equipped for the peace-time operations of the navy and susceptible of rapid expansion into complete bases for war. The total cost of carrying it out is estimated to be equivalent to the cost of seven battleships of the California type. While the United States cannot, under the treaty, increase the number of its battleships, it can, the report says, greatly increase the mobility and effective fighting value of the number it is limited to by building up its bases and stations as recommended. Not until this is done will it be possible to utilize the full potential strength of the fleet. Quicker Work Advisable. Calling attention to the fact that all of the items of the program would be immediately necessary in the event of war, the board declares that to spread their completion over 20 years is a risk and is a postponement of that degree of preparedness which constitutes good national insurance and which is most effective in furthering our national policies during peace. The recommendation is therefore made that if the national finances at any time permit, this program be pushed to a more rapid completion. Of the total of $16,458,$35 recommended by the board's supplementary report on development of naval air stations, $820,000 is recommended for inclusion in the estimates this fall, $554,000 for the station at Coco Sola, Canal Zone, and $266,000 for the Pearl harbor station. The board found that the development of air stations is entirely lacking in the capacity to carry out their mission in the navy's policy as outlined in the Rodman board report, which is: 1. Reconnaissance and patrol of coastal sea areas. 2. Convoy operations. 3. Attacks on enemy submarines, aircraft or surface war vessels. 4. Operations against enemy vessels engaged in attacks on our coast. Declaring that it believes it "imperative for the national defense" that the development program recommended be carried out as soon as practicable, the board specifies the order of procedure in order that "the most urgent items of development" be initiated. As a Last Resort. In a class of Greek history at an Indianapolis school recently a youth was asked to tell the story of the battle of Thermopylae. The lad had unusual descriptive ability and he proceeded into the story with great zest. None of the detail was left out. The heroic stand was described as few others could do. "—and they fought and fought and fought," said the pupil. "They fought until they lost their arms. Then they used their hands."—Indianapolis News. Ingenious.

At last, when he could stand the suspense no longer, he was struck by an inspiration. Hastily seizing a pen, he wrote her an anonymous letter asking her to marry him.—American Legion Weekly. Both. Banks—Do you believe in pursuit or in possession? Kneedel (his tallor)—Both. Possession only comes after so much per suit—Wayside Talea. ```markdown ``` THE COLORADO STATESMAN ```markdown ``` RELIABLE chronicle of their doings andgress; a faithful mirror their wants, their hopes, or best aspiration.

(Prepared by the United States Department homes, these clubs ha of.Agriculture.) The achievements of women's clubs in Wisconsin under extension direction are described in a report recently received by the United States Department of Agriculture. Some 64 clubs have been organized in the state since 1919. In one county, Marathon, there are 30 clubs which have formed a county federation meeting twice a year to take up county-wide problems. During the past year each of these clubs has been working on the addition of labor-saving devices in the home. A number of homes have put in water systems, others have installed lighting systems, and many have purchased smaller articles to help the housewife. Several of the clubs are making paper dress forms and are planning to have every woman in the neighborhood who wishes one supplied. In addition to what they have done to improve conditions in individual FRUIT CUP IS OFTEN USED AS APPETIZER Mixtures Are Easy to Prepare and Require No Cooking. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Fruit cup is often used as an appetizer at the beginning of a luncheon or dinner, especially when soup is not relished. There is something particularly refreshing and pleasant about a mixture of mildly acid, slightly sweetened fruits, chosen because they combine well together. Just as cantaloupe, grapefruit, orange pulp, strawberries, honey-dew melons, or watermelons in their various seasons are appropriate separately for an appetizer course, so mixtures containing any of these fruits cut up together with still other fruits have come to be popular at the beginning of the meal. There is no reason why these good combinations should be reserved for formal occasions. They are easy to prepare, requiring no cooking, and in most families more fruit is really needed than is actually served. The United States Department of Agriculture points out in Farmers' Bulletin 1313, "Good Proportions in the Diet," and in Farmers' Bulletin 871, "Fresh Fruits and Vegetables as Conservers of Other Foods," how important it is to supply the family with plenty of fruit at all times. Most fruit cups are best if about a third of the material consists of either orange or grapefruit pulp, or both. The mild acid of these citrus fruits is needed to give zest to less definite flavors. Pears, peaches, apricots and pineapple, either fresh or canned, are delightful in small quantities in a fruit mixture. Any or all of these may be added according to the number to be served, the materials on hand, and the individual preferences. Banana and apple, judiciously used, are excellent. A little cantaloupe or watermelon, when in season, is good. A few Tokay or Malaga grapes, berries of any kind, sweet cherries, whether fresh or canned, add a decorative touch as well as additional flavor. One or two dates in each portion can be introduced in the same way. A few chopped nut meats, a little spiced preserve, some candied orange or grapefruit peel, citron, preserved watermelon rind or ginger are other suitable flavors for making a fruit cup that is a little out of the ordinary. It is not possible to give exact recipes because the fruits on hand depend somewhat on the season and somewhat on the leftovers available. The equivalent of half an apple, banana, peach, or pear per person should be allowed, with plenty of orange or grapefruit. The following combinations may be suggested to serve six persons at different seasons: Winter, 2 oranges, 1 apple, 1 banana, 1 slice of canned pineapple, four cooked prunes; spring, 1 grapefruit, 1 canned peach, 1 banana, 12 white cherries, 12 strawberries; summer, 2 oranges, 2 slices fresh pineapple, one-half cantaloupe, 24 raspberries; autumn, 1 grapefruit, 1 pear, 12 white grapes, 1 apple, 1 spiced peach, 6 dates. The fruit should be cut up in fairly small pieces for convenience in eating. This should be done at least an hour before serving time. Sugar should be sprinkled over the mixture according to taste, and it should be stirred well before standing. If preferred, the fruit cup may be homes, these clubs have accomplished much commendable community work. One club installed a bubbling drinking fountain in the village school and bought good lights for the building. This club sponsors evening community meetings in the schoolhouse. Another club repaired, decorated and refurnished the town hall which is now their meeting place as well as the center for all community meetings. Still another purchased a moving picture machine for use in the rural community and displays good pictures at regular intervals. One has bought playground equipment and employed a play supervisor for the children of the village during the summer months. One club cared for a motherless family of children, helping the oldest girl to learn to cook and feed her family well, and clothing the children so that the family was kept together until the older ones were able to carry on the home without aid. served for dessert instead of at the beginning of the meal. When used as an appetizer, the fruit mixture is usually served in sherbet cups or glass dishes with stems especially made for this purpose. These are set on teasize underplates. Powdered sugar may be passed. As a dessert, fruit cup may be brought on the table in a large dish and served into berry dishes set similarly on underplates. The same mixtures unsugared are suitable for fruit salad, with the addition of lettuce, and mayonnaise or a special fruit salad dressing. PLAN FOR WASHING SWEATER Knitted or Crocheted Articles Often Lose Shape Unless Precau- Swerters, scarfs and other knitted or crocheted articles often lose their shape when cleaned unless special precautions are taken. The United States Department of Agriculture says the best way is to work as follows: Measure the article. Use lukewarm water and soap solution. Wash the article by squeezing rather than rubbing and keep it under water as much as possible. When lifting it, keep the hand under and put it into a pan. Rinse until the last water is clear. Squeeze out the water either with the hands or by putting through the wringer, keeping the hand under the garment to prevent stretching from the weight of the water. Put through the wringer several times, changing the folds to take out as much water as possible. Place on a covered table and stretch or pat into the original shape and size as shown by the measurements. If desirable, it may be pinned or fastened in place by thumb tacks. LABEL FOR CANNED FRUIT If Any Is to Be Sold by Housewife She Should Consult State Food Authorities. While the careful housewife usually labels her jellies, Jams, canned fruits and vegetables for her own later infor- mation, the United States Department of Agriculture suggests that if she intends to sell any of her products she should consult the state food authori- ties as to the regulations concerning weight or measure and ingredients and the proper labels to be used. Household Questions Watch the custards—if they are cooked too long they will be watery. Add salt to starch water and it will prevent the starch from freezing out. A shelf in the closet for shoes is far better than placing them on the floor. To prevent mustard from drying in the mustard pot, add a little salt when making it. When boiling eggs hard, use ones that are four or five days old. They peel very easily; the shell usually clings to a fresh egg. Save the eggshells, the up in cloth, and drop into the wash boiler while the clothes are being boiled, and the lime from them will help whiten the clothes.

SOUR MILK AND CREAM DISHES Sour cream and sour milk may be used in numberless ways in cookery and salad dressing, so the thrifty housewife will never have a bit to waste. Sour cream is delicious on chopped cabbage with a little sugar, a sprinkling of salt and just enough vinegar to give it zest if the cream is and salsa the thrift never hav Sour creen on choppe a little kling of enough vi zest if not thoroughly soured. Rice Pancakes.—Beat one egg in a bowl, then add one cupful of tender cooked rice, one cupful of sour milk, one teaspoonful of melted shortening. Measure and sift together one tablespoonful of sugar, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of soda and one cupful of pastry flour. Add to the first mixture and beat well. If fried in deep fat drop by spoonfuls into the fat. If fried as cakes on a griddle add a tablespoonful of fat instead of a teaspoonful and cook on a hot griddle. Serve with cider and sugar as sauce. Sour Milk Cake.—Cream together one-half cupful of shortening and one cupful of brown sugar. Measure and sift together one-fourth teaspoonful each of nutmeg, cinnamon, clove and salt, one teaspoonful of soda, one and three-fourths cupful of flour, and add last one cupful of seeded raisins well floured. Beat two eggs until light, add the first mixture and alternate the flour mixture with the milk until well blended. A little baking powder may be added to the flour and one-half teaspoonful of soda instead of the teaspoonful of soda. Bake in a sheet; while hot butter and sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Gingerbread Drop Cakes.—Beat an egg until light, add one cupful of molasses, one cupful of sour milk, one-half cupful of melted shortening, one and one-quarter cupful of pastry flour sifted with one teaspoonful of soda, one-half teaspoonful of baking powder, one teaspoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of ginger, one-fourth teaspoonful each of cinnamon and nutmeg and a dash of cloves. Mix well and drop by spoonfuls on greased baking sheets. Bake about twenty minutes. If sour cream is used add only two tablespoonfuls of melted shortening. All things are ready if our minds be so. —Shakespeare. Blood is a juice of a very special kind. —Goethe. SOUR MILK DISHES During the summer and fall the milk will often be sour even with the best of care. The cost of milk makes it necessary to avoid waste. Sour milk may be used in many ways to excellent advantage. PANEER To begin the day a hot griddle cake is often acceptable. Take two cupfuls of sour milk, two eggs well beaten, salt and a half-teaspoonful of soda; add just enough flour to which a teaspoonful of baking powder has been added, to make a batter that will pour. If the cakes are beaten in a granite or aluminum pitcher, or even a crockery one, though heavy to handle, the cakes may be poured from it. Fudge Cake.—Cream one-half cupful of shortening and one cupful of sugar, add one well-beaten egg and two squares of melted chocolate. Sift two cupfuls of pastry flour with one teaspoonful of salt, three-fourths of a teaspoonful of soda, and one teaspoonful of baking powder. Mix with the butter and sugar the flour and one cupful of sour milk alternately, then add one teaspoonful of vanilla; bake in layers or in a sheet. Frost with white or chocolate frosting. Horseradish Mayonnaise.—Whip one cupful of sour cream until very stiff. Add gradually one teaspoonful each of lemon juice and vinegar, one and one-half tablespoonfuls of freshly grated horseradish, one-fourth teaspoonful each of salt and sugar and a dash of cayenne. Serve on cucumbers sliced or on oyster salad. Cabbage Salad With Russian Dressing. Remove the top from a hard, small head of cabbage, cut the stalk so that it stands firmly. Cut out the center and shred very finely as much as will be required. Chill the cabbage in cold water. Drain and wring out in a cloth. Refill the cabbage basket with the cabbage after mixing it well with the dressing. Take mayonnaise dressing, as much as will be needed, and add half as much chili sauce, a little chopped olives and some green pepper. Mix well and serve poured over the cabbage. Julienne. Take a quart of consomme, one-half cupful each of cooked onion cut into rings, cooked green peas, asparagus tlps (cooked), cooked string beans. Heat hot and serve with roulots.

FOR WINTER FRUIT CLOSET Where mushrooms are plentiful they may be canned, pickled or made into catsup, which will make a most delicious flavor for sauces, gravies and salads during the winter. Mushrooms Mushroom Catsup. Wipe the freshly-gathered mushrooms; If perfectly clean they are much better if not washed. Put in layers into a stone crock with a sprinkling of salt. Cover with cloth folded to keep out the dust and let stand in a warm place for 24 hours. Put into a colander to drain off the salt and dash over them cold water to rinse. Put the mushrooms through a coarse sieve and to every quart of the liquor add an ounce of peppercorns, and slimmer for 30 minutes. Then add one-fourth of an ounce of whole allspice, one-half ounce of sliced ginger root, one dozen whole cloves, three blades of mace, and cook 15 minutes. Put into small bottles, cork and dip into sealing wax or paraffin. Company Sweet Pickles.—Take one pound each of candled cherries, a layer of raisins, left in clusters of two or three on the stem, six dozen of the tiny cucumbers. Put a quart of the best elder vinegar into a porcelain lined kettle, add one pound of granulated sugar and boll to a sipup, with two teaspoonfuls each of nutmeg and white pepper, one teaspoonful of mace and one-half (teaspoonful of ground cloves). Bring the sipup to a boll, then add the cherries; when they are plumped, remove with a skimmer and add the raisins. As soon as the raisins are plump, skim them out and add the cucumbers. When boiling, cook two minutes; they should be tender but not soft. Fill glass jars with the cucumbers in layers with the cherries and raisins. Pour over the sipup boiling hot and seal. Pepper Jam.—Wipe, remove the seeds from six sweet red peppers. Put through the food chopper, sprinkle with salt and let stand for three or four hours. Drain, rinse in cold water and put into a saucepan. Add one and one-half cupfuls of sugar, one cupful of vinegar, and boll all together until the consistency of jam. Pour into glasses. When cool cover with paraffin. Into whose heart Love enters, there is Flower and sought else.

The canned blueberries, currants and cherries will make delicious pies this winter, so it is wise to provide plenty to supply the family. A few currants added to the blueberries when making the pies will add to the flavor. is wise to provide plenty to supply the family. A few currants added to the blueberries when making the ples will add to the flavor. During the summer and fall one is more apt to have an influx of unexpected company than in the cold weather. An emergency pudding which may be safely given to the children is prepared as follows: Blueberry Pudding.—Lay slices of stale bread into a deep dish after spreading them with butter. Pour boiling hot blueberries, juice and all, over the bread, using as much of bread and berries as is needed. Cover and set away to chill. Unmold and cut into slices or serve from the dish, passing sugar and cream for sauce. Apples and Onions.—The green apples early in the fall are very good for this dish. Slice them after washing and coring, without removing the peel. Put into a hot frying pan in which two or three onions have been cooking in sweet pork fat until a light brown. Now add the apples which cook quickly, season with salt, sugar, and cook until a golden brown. Serve as a vegetable with pork chops. Savory Spinach With Ham.—Use slices of ham from the small end, cut very thin. Crisp in a hot frying pan and remove to the center of a hot platter. Pour into the pan one cupful of thick, rich tomato sauce and stir well, scraping off all the browned fat from the pan. Mix two cupfuls of cooked spinach with a teaspoonful of salt, a tablespoonful of butter and pepper to taste, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of sugar, and one beaten egg. Form into egg-shaped balls, place in a greased pan; sprinkle the tops with grated cheese and brown in a hot oven. Arrange around the ham as a border. Cream of Cauliflower Soup.—Hent a pint of chicken or veal stock, one pint of milk and one-half cupful of sweet cream. When boiling stir it into a tablespoonful of butter and flour cooked together. Cook one-half a cauliflower in salted water until tender, cut off the little flowerets and add them to the thickened stock. Serve hot.
