THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY ADVANCEMENT ASSOCIATION ACTS ON WHOLESALE DEPORTATION OF JOHNSTOWN, PENN., NEGROES Wires Governor Pinchot and Mayor-Rushes Special Investigator to the Scene VOL. XXIX. ADVANCEMENT ASS ON WHOLESALE D JOHNSTOWE Wires Governor Pinch es Special Investig ANNOUNCEMENT was made to day by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York City, of prompt action that had been taken to protect the lives, property and civil rights of colored residents of Johnstown, Penn., who are being driven from the city following an order issued a week ago by Mayor Joseph Cauffiel because of the killing of two policemen, the crimes alleged to have been committed by Negroes. The Advancement Association has rushed a special investigator to Johnstown and has wired Governor Gifford M. Pinchot and Mayor Cauffiel characterizing the action taken by the latter as gross exceeding of authority vested in him, pointing out that the only duty incumbent upon him was the apprehension and punishment of the guilty and that he had no authority to drive from the city all Negroes, innocent or guilty, "whose only offense is that their skins are black." The Association's telegram demanded of the Mayor that he cease the hounding of Negroes and making himself a tool of the Ku Klux Klan. The telegram to Governor Pinchot read: "Today's New York newspapers report that because of the killing of two policemen and the wounding of four others crimes alleged to have been committed by Negroes of Johnstown, Pa., more than two thousand Negroes have left Johnstown because of order issued by Mayor Cauffiel that only Negroes resident in city for seven years would be allowed remain. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People with four hundred and fifty branches and membership of one hundred thousand composed of members of both races herewith registers its protest against this high handed injustice through such wholesale deportation by the mayor of Johnstown of men regardless of innocence or guilt solely because their skins are black. It is so obvious as to make it a superfluous statement that the only action which should have been taken by the mayor and other authorities of Johnstown would have been to seek out and punish those guilty. This Association respectfully requests you to use all authority vested in your high office to correct this grievous injustice if the facts stated above are found to be true and to protect the colored citizens of Johnstown against the Ku Klux Klan's methods of Mayor Cauffiel. JAMES WELDON J0OHNSON, Secretary N.A.A.C.P." Mayer Couffiel was wired: Mayor Caufiel was wired: "Press dispatches in today's newspapers report that more than two thousand Negroes have left Johnstown as a result of your order that only Negroes resident in the city for seven years would be allowed to remain because of the shooting of two policemen and wounding of four others, these crimes alleged to have been committed by Negroes. If the facts as reported above are correct National Association for the Advancement of Colored People with four hundred and fifty branches and membership of one hundred thousand composed of members of both races vigorously protest against this highhanded injustice in such wholesale deportation. It appears to us that you have totally exceeded authority vested in you. It is the duty of the mayor and the other authorities of Johnstown to seek out and punish the guilty instead of punishing men whose only offense is that their skins are black. We respectfully urge that the hounding of colored citizens be stopped and that the city of Johnstown cease making itself a tool for carrying out the threats of the Ku Klux Klan. FOE OF NEGROES LOSES JOHNS TOWN MAYORALY RACE Johnstown, Pa., Sept. 19.—Mayor Joseph Cauffiel, central figure in a controversy over his order directing all Negroes residing in the city to leave, was eliminated as a candidate for re-election, returns Wednesday from Tuesday's primary indicated. In a field of seven candidates he was running fifth. With dark and heavy clouds hanging low, makes Boulder residents think of snow flurries. Every one that braved the weather Sunday afternoon, the 16th, and attended the Baptist Church at 3 o'clock surely enjoyed a treat of song and good preaching. Boulder felt honored to listen to the best choir in the state having won first prize at the recent contest. New Hope Choir was only 16 strong Sunday but rendered beautiful and familiar selections and Rev. Liggins preached an able and instructive sermon on Christian life. It was very plain and to the point, but altogether too short, some said. He holds his audiences' attention from start to finish. Quite a number of the members of New Hope came Sunday. Rev. Murphy spoke well Sunday morning on the "Seekings of the Heart." Everyone enjoyed the discourse. Mrs. Rowe's little girl is very low. We hope for the best. The cooks at the different frats and sorority's are planning on soon taking their places. Mrs. Elliott and son, Rev. Wims, who have been holding meetings here, were Denver visitors, attending the funeral, Sunday, of Mr. Gentry, who was a friend of theirs. JAMES WELDON JOHNSON, Secretary N.A.A.C.P. BOULDER, COLO., NEWS State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House AVAILABLE PEOPLE RADO THE JOURNAL BLE PEOPLE'S PA ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORA Garvey Released From Tombs for $15,000 Cash Bail After a week's effort, Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, convicted nearly three months ago of using the mails to defraud in selling stock in the Black Star Line, and held in the Tombs prison pending his appeal from the sentence imposed by Federal Judge Mack of five years in the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., and a fine of $1,000, finally succeeded in making bail by putting up $15,000 cash, and was released from prison on Monday, Sept. 10. Since being sentenced on June 21, Garvey has made many futile efforts to secure bail, but it was not until he secured the services of George Gordon Battel as his attorney that any success was met with. Attorney Battle took up the matter with United States Attorney William Hayward and secured his consent to fixing bail, after which a cablegram was sent to Judge Mack, who is in Palestine, advising him of the situation. With objections from the federal prosecutor removed, Judge Mack cabled his consent, and then, on Sept. 3, Federal Judge Manton announced that the prisoner would be released on $25,000 bonds. After a week had elapsed, with the Garveles unable to raise the required ball, another appeal was made and Judge Manton reduced the amount to $15,000. This ball was given on Monday and Garvey walked out of Tombs prison a free man for the first time since the jury returned a verdict of guilty on June 18 last. The Garvey appeal is scheduled to be heard at the United Stotes Circuit Court of Appeals some time in October. SOUND, SOLVENT ADVICE SOUND, SOLVENT ADVICE Entering upon its forty-first y-car as a peerless pinch-hitter of the colored press, the old reliable Cleveland Gazette shows it still retains its batting average by the following bit of concentrated common sense: "Unless you can use them to advantage in your business, do not buy lots in other cities and states, nor pianos or automobiles before you own your own home." A sermon, editorial and financial statement combined. Negro Banks Show Remarkable Increase Washington, Sept. 17.—One economic result of the migration of Negroes northward during the past year has been the impetus given to the establishment of Negro banks and the growth of race bank deposits. Washington, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and smaller cities are centers of increased activities in the growth of Negro banks. Messrs. Brown and Stevens, bank promoters of Philadelphia, are now observing their $133,000 building, erected a year ago, do a thriving business; and the Prudential bank people of Washington, after a month of business, report splendid growth. IGINAL IN P DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1923 --- Carriers of U.S. Mail in Convention Providence, R. L., Sept. 14.—The National Association of Letter Carriers has just concluded its twenty-fourth annual convention here. Our group was well represented and accorded the fullest measure of hospitality. Indeed on the motion of a white Boston delegate a rising chautauqua was given to a little delegate of color from Popo Rico, Pedro Rosa Rivera, from San Juan. Our representatives were also royally treated at the big clam bake held at Newport. Hon. John H. Bartlett, first assistant postmaster general, stirred the employees with his ringing speech. The following delegates of color were present: George S. Hartsfield, New York City; W. H. Hickman, New Haven, Conn.; E. W. Hansen, B. J. Vernis, A. L. Weaver, Chicago, Ill.; Joseph Robinson, Helena, Ark.; Alex S. Mann, Newport News, Va.; T. M. Griffin, Petersburg, Va.; B. P. Newman, Jackson, Miss.; E. S. Scott, Little Rock, Ark.; F. H. Huskins, Charleston, W. Va.; I. P. Reynolds, Atlanta, Ga.; William H. Killian, Athens, Ga.; Joel C. Dawkins, Jacksonville, Fla.; A. D. Pierson, Vicksburg, Miss.; John O. Williams, Vicksburg, Miss.; Pedro Rosa Rivera, San Juan, P. R.; P. M. E. Hill, Yazoo City, Miss.; R. M. Casey, Memphis, Tenn., and C. G. Harris, Atlanta, Ga. P. M. E. Hill of Yazoo City, Miss., is reported to be the wealthiest letter carried in the country. He is said to have amassed $100,000 by buying and selling cotton. He is very slight of stature and weighs but 100 pounds. Death Ends Brilliant Career Miss Nora Fields Taylor, who was recently elected to the office of grand daughter ruler of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World during the grand session here, died at her home, 3337 Vernon avenue, Monday evening. Her death was due to an affected heart, aggravated by some organic disturbance, and strain from overwork in attending public duties. Mrs. Taylor was born in Carrollton, Mo., Jan. 22, 1870. She moved to Chicago in 1891. Here she began her public career, enlisting in the African Methodist Foreign Mission. Her work as a missionary has carried her over the entire United States, a large portion of Africa and the West Indies. Her last illness was due primarily to privation and exposure incurred during her African expedition. Last Deecember Mrs. Taylor sailed from New York for Monrovia, Liberia, for the purpose of acquiring an episcopal residence to be used by the bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. She succeeded in her mission after many months of hardships, and returned to Chicago in August, just two weeks prior to the beginning of the Elks' convention. Her arduous journey had begun to tell on her and she was apparently exhausted when she reached Chicago. Mrs. Laura E. Williams of New York City, who was elected vice grand daughter ruler, automatically assumes the toga of the grand office.—Chicago Defender. YOUNG PIANIST OF RARE ABIL ITY DELIGHTS DENVER Miss Grace Dunlap, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Dunlap of Colorado Springs, citizens of many years' residence there, delighted a large and appreciative audience of music lovers last week, Thursday evening, at the People's Presbyterian Church, where she was presented by the Ivy Leaf Club of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority of Colorado Teachers' College. This talented pianist is a real Colorado product, who received her training at the Chicago Conservatory of Music, and who was accredited one of the most successful pupils of the school, and quite an exponent of the art. Her touch and technique were not only up to the standard of professional players, but she possesses an originality in style which attracts and pleases, and her interpretation of the Chopin, Liszt and Rachmaninoff compositions was correct, according to the expression of one of our leading musical critics. Mrs. M. R. Berry, local elocutionist, contributed reading selections which were well received, and the presentation of flowers by the boys of the Alpha Phi Alpha helped to make this event an ever-memorable one in the minds of Denver citizens. Besides the many patrons of Colorado Springs and Denver was the Delta Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Kansas University. Miss Dunlap deserved much credit for her execution and merited the applause and appreciation she received. Many persons attended from other Colorado points. The members of the Ivy Leaf Club, all young folks, Misses Myra Glenn, Isabell Jenkins, Marcella Parsons, Myrtle Smith, Florence and Alberta Hickman, are to be congratulated on their initial effort, which has resulted so successfully. DEVELOPMENT OF ABYSSINIA DEVELOPMENT OF ABYSSINIA As a result of negotiations with the Abyssinian government, the Anglo-American Oil Company has obtained exclusive oil rights for fifty years in the northern half of the Province of Harrar. The area controlled by the company is some sixty thousand square miles, traversed on its northern edge by the Franco-Ethiopian railway, and said to have been prospected with encouraging results."—"Current History," September, 1923. GEORGIA PAYS THE PRICE Manchester, Ga., Sept. 17.—According to a survey made by Mr. James S. Peters of Manchester, Ga., president of the Georgia Bankers' Association, the loss this year to Georgia alone, through the migration of Negroes, will approximate the huge sum of $27,000,000, or an amount that would have permitted the expenditure by the state of nearly $175,000 for colored schools in each of the 155 counties. Mr. Peters claims that in the wake of the departing Negroes, 46,674 vacant farmhouses and 55,524 idle plows are left. NO. 49. Cheyenne, Wyo. News Mr. Will Redd gave a dinner at his residence, 918 O'Neal street, Friday evening, Sept. 14. Mr. J. E. Shackelford, well known realtor and sociologist of Los Angeles, Calif., was the guest of honor. The dinner was an elaborate affair. The topic of discussion was "The Church a Social Center." The discussion was interesting from viewpoints of men in our group from different occupations. The invited guests were: Rev. S. E. Newell and Rev. S. S. Fairly, pastors of A. M. E. and Baptist churches; Messrs. H. E. Jefferson, retired real estate owner; James Smith, custodian; Jos. Baker, car inspector; William Ashford, barber, and Clarence J. Toliver, reporter for the COLORADO STATESMAN. Mrs. Guy Overall of Salt Lake City, Utah, was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Redd during the past week. A tea party was given in honor of Mrs. Overall Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Redd. Miss Eugenia Bryant, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Bryant, departed for East St. Louis to finish her studies. Miss Bryant had a delightful stay in this city while on visit with her father and mother. Mrs. Dorsey McDowell returned from a delightful visit with parent and friends at. Sedalia, Mo. The following gentlemen spent the week in Omaha: Messrs. Frank Barksdale, Poole Turner, Earnest Campbell, Dorsey McDowell and Wilkerson. Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Walt Davis are pleased at their return to our city. The Novelty Ball given by the Elks was a social and financial success. WHITE PREACHER ATTACKED FOR PREACHING TO NEGROES Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 14.—Because he had insisted on preaching to Negroes the Rev. George W. Messenger, white, was attacked in his study last Sunday by three white men and shorn of his fine crop of hair and whiskers. "Preaching to Negroes is not very popular in Florida," sorrowfully ejaculated Pastor Messenger when he was questioned about the affair. EX-WAITER SPENDS $100,000 Chicago, Ill., Sept. 14.—George W. Hedge, ex-dining car waiter, and his wife Marie, took title last week to a $100,000 twenty-four-flat apartment house at Forty-fourth and Indiana avenue. Colorado Gets More Delegates Increased representation for western states, including fourteen instead of twelve delegates for Colorado, is the most important change in the apportionment for the 1924 Republican national convention, details of which have been received at state headquarters in Denver. The order of the national committee results in sharp reductions for southern states. No delegates will be allowed from congressional districts which do not maintain a Republican organization and do not cast at least 2,500 Republican votes. By this order several southern districts are completely deprived of representation. South Carolina's strength in the convention is reduced from 11 to 4, Mississippi's from 12 to 4, Louisiana's from 12 to 9, and Georgia's from 17 to 9. Colorado will have six delegates at large instead of the four which were allowed in 1920. The total number of delegates at the convention will be 1,036. FOREIGN The German-Swiss frontier has been closed by the government of Switzerland. It is understood that Switzerland feared growing riots in Germany might lead to civil war. Five thousand persons are reported to have perished in the floods which followed upon the typhoon at Tottori, northwest of Kobe, Japan, according to an Osaka dispatch to the Central News in London. Al Spencer, notorious bandit of the Osage, is dead. He was killed by Alva MacDonald, United States marshal for the western district of Oklahoma. Spencer's spectacular career of crime ended in the Osage hills. Seventy Brazilian state troopers were killed or wounded when their encampment at Cruz Alta, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, was attacked by revolutionaries who made a furious surprise attack. Gen. Miguel Primo Rivera, Marquis de Estella, head of the revolutionary movement which overthrew the Allucemas ministry, took the oath of office as president of the council of ministers before King Alfonso of Spain. Home Minister Goto of Japan has announced he will have theaters and motion picture houses built in the devastated region to provide free entertainment for the people this winter as a means of diverting their minds from the earthquake and of relieving the monotony of their lives. Chinese soldiers who attacked the Ichang Maru in the Yangtse river have demanded a million yen ransom for the release of their captives, a dispatch from Shanghai stated a few days ago. They served warning they would kill their captives if the amount is not paid. A Japanese gunboat has arrived for the purpose of rescuing the captives, the dispatch added. A telegram received at the foreign office at Montevideo from the Uruguayan consul in Zuarahy, near the Brazil-Uruguay frontier, says the town was taken by a force of 1,800 Brazilian rebels. There was a sharp fight, in which seven men were killed and twenty-seven wounded on both sides. Twenty members of the government force were drowned as they attempted to escape by swimming the River Cuarelm. Their commander and fifteen men were captured. The Japanese foreign office in Tokio has advised foreigners that, because of the differences in language and customs they should avoid walking about the devastated area, except in case of absolute necessity. They also are requested to refrain from taking photographs. The Japanese consider photographing the dead a sacrilege. American hospital assistance is welcomed, particularly as 100 leading hospitals and 1,000 offices of physicians were destroyed. GENERAL Jack Dempsey admitted in New York City after his victory over Luis Angel Firpo that he never had received such a socking in his life. Governor Walton climaxed his spectacular fight against the Ku Klux Klan by declaring martial law for the entire state of Oklahoma. Nearly all morning newspapers in New York failed to appear a few days ago as a result of a strike of members of Web Pressmen's Union No. 25. In a long fight, the street railway of Birmingham has finally won over the jittery as a public carrier in Birmingham, and the people are now riding for 7 cents cash, a reduction of 1 cent in a schedule that had existed for three years. When tickets are purchased, the new fare is 6 cents. School children ride for $2\frac{1}{2}$ cents. The tank wagon price of gasoline has been reduced 1 cent a gallon in New England and eight Atlantic seaboard states by the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey and the Gulf Refining Company. The new price ranges from 18 cents in Washington, D. C., to 21 cents in Virginia, where there is a state tax of three cents a gallon. Capt. Berec Shepperson of London, England, aviator, felt on the Hermitage property, twelve miles east of Nashville, after he had completed a flight in the service of a sky-writing advertising company. He was burned to death. Howard M. Gore of Clarksburg, W. Va., has been appointed by President Coolidge as Assistant Secretary of Agriculture to succeed C. W. Pugsley, who resigned to become president of the South Dakota College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts. Anthracite miners, representing union workers throughout the Pennsylvania hard coal fields, ratified the new two-year wage agreement drafted by their officers and operators' representatives in Harrisburg, Sept. 8. They returned to work September 20. To live under the American constitution "is the greatest privilege that was ever accorded to the human race." It was declared by President Coolidge in a message made public in New York City by the National Security League in connection with its plans for the celebration Monday of the 136th anniversary of the signing of the constitution. At a rate of 370 feet a second—255 miles an hour—the fastest man has ever traveled, Lieut. Alford J. Williams of the United States navy flew over Mitchel Field, New York, a few days ago. Williams' amazing record was made unofficially while he was testing a new Curtis racer. A baby girl, weighing fifteen ounces, died at University hospital, Oklahoma City, after the father, J. P. Parkins, had carried the child 100 miles in an auto from Wetumka, hoping medical skill and science would be able to keep the spark of life in the tiny body. AN EPITOME OF LATE LIVE NEWS CONDENSED RECORD OF THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS AT HOME AND ABROAD FROM ALL SOURCES SAYINGS, DOINGS, ACHIEVE MENTS, SUFFERINGS, HOPES AND FEARG OF MANKIND WESTERN More than 1,000 houses were destroyed with a property loss of $8,000,-000 in the fire which devastated the northeast residential section of Berkeley, according to the reports of a survey completed by City Assessor Harry J. Squires. Fanned by high winds, a great forest fire swept northern Sonoma county, California, recently. A half dozen big ranches were swept by the flames, including the state of California stock ranch. Hundreds of fire fighters recruited from the farms and towns staged a desperate fight to save Fenwood Springs, a summer resort. A case of the deadly bubonic plague was announced a few days ago by the United States public health service in Washington. The victim is a woman who previously resided at Pacific Grove, Monterey county, Calif. Officers of the public health service said that the disease had been confirmed bacteriologically, but that an epidemic was not feared. Boxing as a professional sport and as it is practiced in Denver, was given a severe blow when Judge George F. Dunkle ruled that boxing exhibitions of the kind that have been held at the Stockyards at Denver are in reality prize fights and not mere sparring matches. The exhibitions are, accordingly, in violation of Colorado's antiprize,fight law. The Pacific mail liner Cuba, which went ashore on a reef off San Miguel island, has been abandoned, a total loss, it was announced in Los Angeles. The loss was estimated at $400,000. It is said the ship's destruction was not due so much to the pounding of the waves against the sides as to the swelling of a cargo of coffee which became water-soaked and exerted such a force against the holds that the hull and decks were forced out of line. The steamer President Jefferson, carrying the first survivors of the Yokohama earthquake, warped into its dock at Victoria, first port of call on the American continent. Premier John Oliver of British Columbia and a party representing the Canadian government, as well as representatives of the United States public health service and officials of the Admiral Oriental line, operating the Jefferson, boarded the vessel at quarantine. WASHINGTON President Coolidge in a message addressed to the people of the United States expressed his deep gratification at their generous response to the appeals from the sufferers in the earthquake-stricken Japan. "The prompt and generous response of the American people to the urgent needs of a friendly nation in time of great distress has been most gratifying," the message said. "When the news of the tragedy in Japan first reached us the American Red Cross, pursuant to a proclamation, asked the country for $5,000,000 to meet this great emergency. The answer to this appeal was prompt and generous; in less than two weeks a sum far in excess of the original goal was given." The federal government role in the Oklahoma City "civil war" is that of an interested spectator. There is little or nothing to be done in the situation, officials declared. Fourteen ships, laden with food, clothing and medical supplies for the relief of earthquake victims, either have sailed or are about to sail from the United States for Japan, the Red Cross announced in Washington. The emergency committee of the American Red Cross paused long enough in its ministration of Japanese earthquake relief to give attention to a catastrophe neuer home. A preliminary allotment of $10,000 was made from the regular Red Cross disaster fund to the Red Cross organization at Berkeley, Calif., for relief work as the result of the fire there. The question of American participation in the World Court is regarded at the White House as still pending before the Senate for such action as it may decide to take upon it. Inquirers have had their attention directed that President Harding submitted the matter to that body last February and have been told that in the circumstances there remains nothing for President Coolidge to do. Practically all of one cabinet meeting recently was devoted to discussion of the agricultural situation. Afterward it became known that Secretary Wallace is making a particular study of the wheat problem and will report to the President late next week, presenting facts which are expected to enable the executive and his advisors to formulate a constructive program along sound economic lines. Mexico has declined an invitation from the Latin-American delegates to the League of Nations to became a member of the league.

CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS Denver. — Industrial activities in Colorado continue on a steady basis and are particularly evidenced in metal mining, agriculture, and in the manufacture of mining machinery, sheet metal, iron and steel products, lumber and other building materials, and meat products. Metal mining increasingly active (except silver) and particularly noted in the Cripple Creek district and in the southwestern districts of state, and several hundred experienced metal miners are in demand. Harvesting of agricultural crops and vegetables, under way, has created shortage of field workers in some districts. Corn crop is largest in history of state and acreage and tonnage of sugar beets considerably increased over 1922. Harvesting of sugar beets and seasonal resumption of the sixteen sugar factories on or about Oct. 1, will require considerable extra workers in addition to local available labor. Canteloupe harvest in the Rock Ford district will afford considerable additional employment during September. Building continues moderately active in the principal community centers. Pueblo.—A spectacular attempt of two county prisoners to escape from the courthouse after arraignment, was frustrated when Deputy Sheriff C. L. Fiscus spied them trying to slide down the side of the building from the second floor. C. C.

When the entire road is completed, probably next year, seventy-five miles will have been cut off the journey from Denver to Glenwood Springs, Leadville and the Mount of the Holy Cross. Glenwood Springs.—Four persons were injured seriously when an automobile in which they were returning to Glenwood Springs from a dance at Basalt skidded over an embankment and turned over four times.

Shall Wild Flowers Be Destroyed? If this proposal were put to a vote it would undoubtedly be unanimously defeated. Yet that is just what we are practicing on an extensive scale in this country. In most of the eastern woodlands the choicer wild flowers have long ago disappeared, due to the craze for pickling them, and in the more accessible places of our own state they are becoming scarcer each year.—Exchange. Elephant More Intelligent Than Dog. Some idea of an elephant's capacities may be reached by comparing him with the dog, with whose intelligence we are familiar. Making allowance for the dog's "opportunities" under man's training, science has come to doubt whether the most exceptionally intelligent dog possesses comprehensive faculties equal to those of the adult wild elephant fresh from the jungle.

MOFFAT TUNNEL UNDER WAY CONTRACT for construction of the Moffat tunnel was awarded last Tuesday by the tunnel commission and the hope of years and the lifetime dream of David Moffat will be realized within the next forty-six months. What a tribute will this gigantic bore be to the faith and constructive genius of that hardy old pioneer for whose sacrifices and in whose memory the tunnel is named. With actual work now under way the pleasing phase is offered that Colorado citizens and more especially taxpayers in the tunnel district will be given perference in the work. This is sound business and a proper procedure. Not only will Colorado feel immediate benefits from the opening up of this industrial field at a time when labor conditions are none too good, but the further opening up of an empire on the hitherto inaccessible western slope will add only to the material wealth of the state. For Denver, the completion of the tunnel should mean much and another dream may be realized in that our city may grow to the half million mark so enthusiastically claimed at present. We will be the natural base of supplies for this new territory and a direct line of communication will greatly facilitate the handling of those supplies. Too much praise cannot be showered upon the tunnel commission, able men all of them, headed by William P. Robinson as president, who have never faltered in their determination to put the tunnel through. It may be said that we are just entering upon an enterprise that should have had its beginnings years ago, and that is true. But every commonwealth as well as community has first to over-ride petty jealousies and obstacles before reaching the large possibilities lying just beyond. Only dogged perseverance has brought us to the starting place, a perseverance rendering worthy the successors of Moffat and his associate state builders. There may be a bit of disappointment for those who look for a boom similar to that which follows the discovery of a new mining camp, but there will be a steady, visible business revival and Colorado will count much larger in the next national census than she does today. We have everything to offer the investor, everything to offer the man who will work, and everything to offer the family that wants a home amid ideal conditions and within the most ideally balanced climate on the American continent. SOUTHERN DELEGATES AND THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION THE recently announced reapportionment plan of the Republican National organization will be accepted as a long step toward political honesty that has been a crying need of the nation for more than a quarter of a century. Too many scandals have grown out of the scramble for delegates from Southern states most of whom were colored, and who have been regarded as purchasable property, subject to the terms of the highest bidder. And, while this condition has manifested itself in increasing volume at each succeeding national convention for over twenty years, the scandal of 1920 was of such magnitude and opened up such a Southern Pandora's box that an attempt at reform was inevitable. Leaving aside the question of personal injury to the Negro race of the nation by having a large part of its representation in a national convention held up to public scorn as being open for sale and the pliable tools of unscrupulous politicians, a far greater principle is involved, and upon the manner of meeting it will largely evidence just how much of political honesty and justice actuates the leaders of the Republican party. It is well to reduce the size of delegations from the so-called "black belt" states to a point proportionate to the voting strength of those states. But the reform will bear no semblance of genuineness, nor of justice until the great Republican party go on record as favoring a reduction of the congressional representation in these states, and pledging its candidates to a fulfillment of the contract. Too long indeed, has a mere pittance of voters decided congressional elections in Southern states, until the matter has become one of our greatest travesties. That it has been allowed to flourish unmolested throughout the solid South is a crime directly chargeable to the Republican party. During the years of its greatest strength and power, during the terms of McKinley and Roosevelt and Taft, every effort was sought to direct the attention of party leaders to the evil possibilities of disfranchisement via the grandfather clause route. Our appeals fell upon deaf ears. Perhaps the present reform movement may lead up to the larger problem now that a start has been made. We want to see political morality and political honor abide in all parts of the country, not however merely to purge any particular party of its political sins, but out of a spirit of justice to American citizens. Let us consider another phase of the situation. Large Negro delegations have come from Southern states in years past, and were petted as powerful in conventions, yet could not deliver a single vote on election day. They loomed large in the nomination but were of zero value at the election booth. They were loud factors in the sham battle, but could not re-inforce the lines on the day of a real battle. And the shame of it all is, that national campaign managers have presumed to select our spokesmen and leaders from the very element whose whole political value was ended with the close of the nominating convention. Under the new order of things we hope the Northern and Western Negro will come into his own and that a clean, worthy leadership will grow out actual voting strength and not from questionable convention manipulations. Those having charge of the party affairs for the next campaign would do well to give consideration to this matter, for with an ending of "black belt" scandals we want an end of the foilinging of leaders upon us from that section. HENRY H. HAINES, PUBLIC STEN OGRAPHER AND NOTARY PUB LIC, OBEYS THE LAST SUMMONS By Hewetson-Watson "Death is dawn, the waking from a weary night of fevers unto truth and light." In the death of Henry H. Hainnes, public stenographer, notary public and energetic secretary of Mountain Lodge No. 39, Improved Benevolent Protective Order Elks of the World, the citizens of Denver have lost a man who did much in his devotion to the training of the youth, the development and encouragement of institutions for the moral, religious and fraternal uplift of the community, and his zeal and unstinted support in the promotion of anything that catered to human welfare and happiness stood conspicuously as features of his life that were unsurpassed among his friends and associates — professional or otherwise. Born in Boston, Mass., Feb. 12, 1875, of Henry and Elizabeth Haines (his parents who have predeceased him), he received his early training in the public schools, and after a college career entered upon commercial studies, qualifying as a professional stenographer and typist, conducting offices in Cleveland, Ohio. He decided to cast his field lot in the progressive western field over two years ago, and took up a position with the American Wooden as private secretary to the late Supreme Commander E. C. White, resigning to devote his time to his classes in stenography and the service of the Fraternal Organization of Elks, becoming its secretary. He was an ardent devotee and advocate of the Order of Elks, and his unceasing and untiring efforts to make this fraternal order second to none preyed upon his physical ability to the extent of a break-down, which affected him four weeks ago when he entered an hospital, succumbing last Friday evening. During his illness he was constantly visited and attended by brothers of the lodge, by a host of friends, black and white, many of whom were his pupils. He will be greatly missed in the community, for his liberal views on all subjects affecting the people, and the COLORADO STATESMAN joins the large number of friends in extending heartfelt sympathy over his demise. He leaves a sister, Mrs. Ethel Sanford of either New York or Boston. The body will lie in state at the People's Mortuary, Twenty-seventh and Welton street, from this morning until Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Funeral services in charge of Mountain Lodge of Elks, No. 39, will be held from the Church of the Redemerem tomorrow (Sunday), 2 p.m., Rev. Father Rahming officiating. Interment at Riverside, where the Elks' ceremony will be performed. REQUIESCAT IN PACE. WILLING TO ADMIT ANYTHING Owner of Winning Dog Evidently Had Heard of the Efficacy of a Soft Answer. A retired prizefighter amused himself by keeping fighting dogs, which he encouraged to quarrel with other dogs for the sake of the pleasure of witnessing the encounter, and it was his boast that no dog of his was ever beaten. One day, however, when out for a walk with one of his favorite animals a dog was met which proved too good for that of the prizefighter. The combat was brief but decisive, and the pride of the owner of the defeated dog was deeply wounded. He was furious, "Did you see the fight?" he said to the owner of the other dog, who had been the only other witness of the affray, "Yes," said he. "And which was the best dog?" the puglist inquired, "Why, yours, of course!" was the discreet answer, for the owner of the conqueror recognized that he was in the company of a desperate character, "Certainly, your dog gave up and ran away, but it was plain that it was because he found mine too small game and left him, in contempt!" "That's right!" said the prizefighter. "If my dog hadn't licked yours I should have licked you!" REVOLUTION IN OLD EGYPT Records Tell of Uprising Which Evidently Ended Unhappily for the Rebellious Citizens. A recently deciphered papyrus shows a pretty revolutionary spirit among the Egyptians in the year 2000 B. C., or nearly 4,000 years before the French thought of an upheaval. The period is between the old and the middle kingdom, and an Egyptian sage plaintively invites the king to save his people in telling him of the conditions of the country. He tells him that "that is past which yesterday could be seen. The land turns like a potter's wheel. The noble cry out and the poor are full of joy. Each town says, 'Let us drive the strong from without our midst.' Those who wore clothes are now in rags. Noble women trail through the land, and housewives say, 'Had we only something to eat!' . . . The poor possess lordly things, and those who could buy themselves no sandals now have treasure. . . . The people have dethroned the king and persecuted his officials." That the revolution was a success seems hardly to have been the case, for the papyrus goes on to say that laughter has gone; misery is in the land; big and small say, "If only I were dead." Venus di Milo The famous statue of Venus, known as the Venus of Melos, was found on that island by a farmer in 1820 and removed to the Louvre, Paris. It was probably done in the Fourth century before Christ. FOUR KILLED IN TRAIN WRECK FOUR KILLED IN TRAIN WRECK SANTA FE EXPRESS IS HURLED FROM TRACKS IN ARIZONA DESERT PASSENGERS ARE SAFE MEMBERS OF CREW DIE AS EN GINE ROLLS OVER WHILE ROUNDING CURVE Hot Springs Junction, Ariz.—In the cactus-lined desert country one and one-half miles west of here, lay the wreckage of the locomotive and three coaches of westbound California Limited No. 3, crack Santa Fe train. Four trainmen were crushed to death when the engine overturned and the head coaches crashed into it while rounding a sharp bend in the road. When the wreck occurred the train was traveling about forty miles an hour over a detour made necessary by undermined roadbeds and washouts on the main line of the road in northern Arizona. Passengers were hurled from their seats by the impact and some suffered minor abrasions, but none was listed as injured. The dead: J. J. Timm, Needles, Calif., engineer; E. M. Tuttle, Needles, fireman; Coleman, Chicago barber; C. Elliott, Chicago, porter. The wrecked train was the second section of the Number 3 train. It left Chicago for Los Angeles and carried 128 passengers. The engine turned over on its left side, while turning the sharp right curve, and the wooden buffet car behind it, used by members of the crew hurdled the locomotive and was dashed to splinters. The porter and barber met death in this car. They were its only occupants at the time of the wreck. Two steel mail cars, which had been attached to the train when it passed through Phoenix, about two hours before the wreck, rolled over the embankment and plowed into the locomotive. Behind the mail cars, another buffet car and a Pullman partly left the rails. Windows were shattered, tracks were twisted about, but occupants of the care were uninjured. Passengers on the train attributed their escape from death to the fact that the mail cars had been placed behind the locomotive at Phoenix thus placing the Pullman cars well back from the engine. There were five Pullman cars on the train. After the impact, which came with startling suddenness and sent passengers sprawling from their seats, women and men poured from their coaches and rushed to the wrecked cars ahead. The dead fireman and engineer were extricated from beneath the wreckage of the cab. A wrecking train was called from Phoenix, carrying doctors and working crews. Calm pervaded the ranks of the passengers after the wreck. None was hysterical, and women, who had run about at first seeking to aid others whom they thought must have been injured, settled down and faced the trial of awaiting the rescue train as bravely as the men. The scene of the wreck is an isolated spot in the desert west of here, located where the wrecked cars could not be seen from the highway only a half mile away. Great pine cactus and weeds, coyotes and other wild game are all that thrive in the section. Walton Threatens to Arm Citizens Oklahoma City, Okla.—Sensational testimony exposing the alleged inner workings of the Ku Klux Klan in Oklahoma City and designed to show that the secret organization has directed mob violence was made public here by Gov. J. C. Walton. "So far as I am concerned," Governor Walton declared, "I have crossed the Rubicon and it is a fight to the finish.. N. C. Jewett and his 'invisible empire' shall not pass in this state. If necessary, I shall arm every man in this state who is opposed to his empire." Bulgar Rebels Stage Battle Bulgar Rebels Stage Battle London.-Hundreds of persons have been killed in fighting between Bulgarian Communists and troops, according to a Daily Chronicle dispatch from Sofia. A telegram from Vienna quoted Bulgarian legation officials as saying that communications with Sofia was interrupted and that there was no official news of fighting. Both the Chronicle and Daily Express correspondents at Belgrade reported violent fighting in northern Bulgaria with heavy casualties. Many Communists were arrested. Ruhr Stability Necessary for Peace Berlin.-A semi-official statement referring to reports current in Paris of possible Franco-German negotiations makes it quite clear that no practical results can be obtained without the restoration of normal economic activity in the Ruhr, with amnesty and permission of those expelled to return, and that the administration must be placed in the hands of German officials and freedom of traffic between occupied and unoccupied Germany restored.

SOD ON 62 6a ON ee saa eae acca esas esagesesesesesesesssesese Labor in the United States Is Better Paid Than Labor Anywhere Else OT in any country in Europe is there a trade union movement as free from internal discord, as free from bitterness and dis- appointment, as united and confident of the future as the trade union movement of the United States. The condition of labor in Europe is not all due to post-war confusion. Labor in the United States is better paid than labor anywhere else in the world, It lives in better homes. It wears better clothes. It has more leisure. It enjoys better food. It has a wider margin of choice in determining how and where it shall live. Tt has more essential freedom. Finally, it has a better trade union movement with which to achieve more progress and improvement. What is of interest to every one is the strik- ing fact, attested by every competent authority, that American labor is the most skillful and productive labor in the world. Of what avail are the programs of Europe if their concrete results are inferior to the results of the efforts of American labor? It is notable that the labor movements of Europe run strongly to programs and formulas. They make formulas for everything. They embellish them, decorate them, punctuate them nicely, capitalize them freely, make speeches about them endlessly, gaze upon them worshipfully—and no doubt thus please employers immensely. But the American workers prefer an increase in wages, with all the resulting opportunities, to a pleasing formula framed on the wall. We have great distances where there is no industry whatever. In point of population our country is still almost half rural and agricultural. In addition, we have in our land all of the nationalities and races of the earth. In Holland there are only Hollanders, in France only Frenchmen, in England only Britishers, in Germany only Germans. We must meet and reconcile all of the prejudices of the world, bridge all the chasms of habit, language, thought and psychology, and employers have constantly taken advantage of that fact. There is slight similarity of any kind between the problems of labor in America and Europe, though Zuropean doctrinaires, intellectuals and superior persons generally, feel free to tell us how to order our affairs and how to enter the promised land which is yet so very far from their own shores. : (eseseses esas esas esas es eS ese SeseS eases Coes eSESESE SESE SE TET ETE SEIT EOE ES Americans Are Always Saying “All Right!” It Is Their-Pet Phrase By GUSTAV FRENSSEN, in “Letters From America.” The Americans are always saying cheerfully, carelessly and lightly’ “All right!” It is their pet phrase.

And evenings they sit by the fire and talk of their spoils. Cares? Reflections? Right or wrong? Hunters do not ask questions about such things. Americans are now going through an era like that which Rome went through when it reached the Adriatic coast, Spain when it dispatched Columbus, England when it laid hands on South Africa and India. ‘They are a people in the bloom of its springtime, favored and blessed by God because of its freshness, brilliancy and efficiency. But remember, all that is right and valuable contains something tragic and sad. Individuals and peoples alike, everything that is worth anything bears the noble mark of guilt, remorse and need on its brow. All the older nations carry this mark and do not seck to deny it: Spain, Holland, Sweden, England, France, Germany.

SECRETARY GIVES HIM AN ASTUTE ASSISTANT. CABINET DECLARES FEALTY Republican National Committee Mem: bers Seem Privately Determined That the President Shall Be Nomi- nated Next Year for Another Term. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—t, buscom sim Virginia, one-time representative in congress and all-time astute fepub: licun politician, has taken up bis du ties us secretary to President Coolldze. Virtually all of the cabinet efticers of the President have declured their fealty to him not only as members of his officia: family but indirectly as sup: porters of any progressive ambition which he may have. Several assistant secretaries in the various departments, sub-chiefs of the cubinet, likewise have declared allegiance, The Republican national committee seems to be all set in Its private de- termination that Coolidge this year shall be Coolidge next year. Of course the members of the national committee cannot declare themselves officially as favorable to the nomination of the present chief executive, bur If their hearts are right, other things probably will be right. ‘The politicians say no president ever had a brighter outlook for renomination than Mr. Coolidze. has today. Of course, clouds can come into the political sky as well as Into nature’s sky and there may be thun. ders and lightnings ahead, but there is no Washington forecaster today who Is willing to take any other than a fair-weather view of the future. What the Politicians See. ‘The politicians here seem to. think that they see signs from the Middle West of a change of heart among the followers of the greater radical leaders In their sections of the country. They see also, they say, a disposition on the part of the “America First” leaders to accept the President as one of their own. Some of the Republicans who do not look favorably upon the “splen- | did isolation” of the {solationists seem to be content with the thought that If the President shall press the world court membership proposal, he may later be willing to go further afield in international affairs, especially as one year from next November he may be given the voters’ leave to go it on “his own" for four years. Mr, Coolidge seems to be something of a politician, Apparently he real- ized that benefits might accrue from tying unto himself the enbinet officers who came to him by Inheritance from President Harding, Several of these officers are politicians of the true type. ‘Three of them are especially valuable in campalgns in their respective parts of the country—Weeks, Daugherty and New, although the latter’s Influence in his home state in Indiana is perhaps not what It was. Harry New, however. is a politician who knows the politi- clang and whose activities in the past have given him the experience which ald In the present and may continue to ald in the future. Weeks Supports Coolidge. John W. Weeks Is from Massachu- setts, and Massachusetts like the rest of New England today seems to be| back of President Coolidge in any am- bition which he may be nurturing. ‘Once upon a time John W. Weeks had ambitions on his own account, but he has them no longer, He 1s a sincere Coolidge supporter and it will take something like a misdemeanor on the part of the President to shake the war secretary from his allegiance. Attorney General Daugherty Is from Ohio, He was all-in-all politieally to President Harding. He can be of sery- ice to President Coolidge in a paliti- eal way, for sentiment in Ohio will have something to do with the coming nomination campaign. If Daugherty stays staunch in hi- support of Presi- dent Coolidge, there are Ohio politi- cians who will say, “This Is as Hard- Ing would have it.” Secretary Slemp knows the ins and outs of Republican polities everywhere in the United States. In addition to this he is thoroughly well versed in. delegate matters south of Mason and Dixon's line, which in a way Is the Democratic-Republican line. Slemp is almost as much given to talk as Is his chief. President Coolidge. therefore, has a reticent man to help a reticent man. Secretary Slemp is a thinker. One knows this from a somewhat int timate knowledge of the Virginion’s ca- reer in politics and legislation. He is a cultivated man, one to whom schol- arship has had its appeal, an appeal to which he listened and which he answered. Bellef is strong In Wash- ington that men who desire a nomina- tion for President Coolidge were those who recommended that C. Bascom Slemp should be made his secretary. Foreign Policy Not Changed. Conviction strengthens daily in Washington that President Coolidge intends to frame no new policy in Re- publican affairs. It seems likely from what one hears from the students of the situation that the plan for Amer- ican membership in the International Court of Justice advocated by Presi- reparations, developments a the tune, possibilities of trouble because ot dis- agreements between the allies, and other things formidubly forbidding on the other side of the water, seeming ly have produced no effect nnd are likely to produce none upon the minds of those Who think In terms of “Aner: fea First." Washington fully beseves how that despite former reports to the contrary, President Coolidge does aot intend to offer any plan of His own for America to Intervene diplomatien!: ly or otherwise in Europe. The Republicans here seem to be divided on the political wisdum of complete Isolation, ‘There was ure cent word from the White House on world affairs which unquestionably was uuthentie, to the effect that the Pres ident had decided to make no change whatever in the foreign policy of the United States. Some of the Repub: Hicuns say that it is a good thing that Mr, Coolidge has “such a high sense of his American duty"; while others say that the isolation policy Is a seltish one and that in the end it will multl- ply the domestic difficulties of the United Sites. Enough to Do at Home. Republicans who expressed them selves us pleased with the White House statement of contentment with the present American policy say that with domestic affairs as they are, coal. ae: riculture, railroads and other things only less vexing, the Presidewt will have nothing to do but to attend to home matters. Some of the politicians seem to have mistaken completely the President's original feelings on matters coucern- ing foreign relations, In letters from Washington it hus been said before this that men who knew the Presi- dent when he was governor of Mussa- chusetts had been ready to declare that at one time he was favoruble in part to the Wilson foreign policies. The truth seems to be that no man has ever heard President Coolldge de- clare ‘himself strongly upon the sub- ject of what America should do to help Europe out of its hole. Some men have declared him to be a League of Nations sympathizer, while others have said he is and has been an isola- tionist. Today it appears that the President intends to let the American policy stay where it is for some time to come, at lesst. ‘The politictans seemingly are con- vinced that when congress meets the world court proposal will be considered and disposed of after the manner in which consideration and — disposal would ,have come had not President Harding died. There are a few of the politicians, however, who believe that the President may make a special ef- fort to secure sanction of the Harding court plan. Its Influence on Politics. Looking at the thing from the stand- point of polities, politicians say that President Coolidge will profit largely in New England ‘by his recent indi- rect but nevertheless direct word that no change whatever is intended in the policy of the United States govern- ment toward Buropeun affairs, If the President shall attempt nothing, even in the way of suggéstion for the re- liet of Europe except that which al- ready has been suggested in the terms of the plan for world court _member- ship, the politicians say that New Eng- land will be for him solidly in the next Republican convention; but that if he shall attempt to defy the Isola- tionists in any other particular, he will lose the support of his home land. ‘Today the President, seemingly, has ‘a fairly clear political field ahead of him. The letter which was written by Senator Johnson of California and which has been made public, appar- ently without the senator's permission, may remove from the field the Presi- dent's most formidable rival for tne nomination, It will not be at all dir- ficult for the Johnson element in the party to support Coolidge, provided the latter goes no further afield in at- tempts to help out Europe. ‘There is another side to this thing, however, and some of the politicians know it and probably will let the Pres: Ident know it, if he does not know it already. ‘There apparently has. been a change in public sentiment concern- ing American participation in Euro- pean affairs. The President may be told that he ean win the nomination on an isolation platform; but he may be told that he ts likely to lose the election on the same platform, Red Cross Heralded by Dream. It is related that the mother of St. Camillus de Letlic had a curious dream before his birth. Her son wore the sign of a red cross on his breast, and seemed to be followed by an Inimense multitude, each one marked by the same strange sign. The dream worried her until she spoke of It to her ctersy- man, who assured her that ler child would be a powerful friend of the church. And so it happened: for he. boy, when he reached the age of dis- cretion, was so horror stricken at the neglect shown to the sick and tufirm poor that he organized a company whose work was to succor these un- fortunates. They traveled from hospi- tal to hospital, and sought the help- less in the lanes and highways, and even on the battleflelds; and they were known and honored everywhere by the symbol they wore—the Red Cross.

The sub of Agriculture.) A visit to somebody else's kitchen often suggests little conveniences not previously thought of. Several excellent and unusual points in kitchen planning are shown in the accompanying illustration, which is a picture of a farm home in Wythe county, Virginia. This kitchen received special mention in a kitchen improvement contest started with the help of extension agents, co-operatively directed by the Virginia Polytechnic institute and the United States Department of Agriculture. Various Conveniences. Outstanding among its conveniences are the double drain board of the sink, the hanging soap basket, the excellent light from two windows, and for use after dark, the electric light on a cord MAKE FRUIT BUTTERS WHEN YIELD IS GOOD Recipes Given Have Been Tested by Specialists. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) There is no better way to use good apples and the sound parts of wind-falls and wormy and bruised apples than to make them into butter. Pears and plums also make good butter, and peach butter is unusually appetizing. While apple butter is usually made with cider, using gallon for gallon of peeled and sliced apples and cider, it may be made with water only, or with other flavors. The following recipes have been tested by the United States Department of Agriculture and are recommended. Apple Butter With Grape Juice. Apple Butter With Grape Juice. To each gallon of peeled and sliced apples, cooked into a thin apple sauce and strained, add one pint of grape juice, one cupful of brown sugar and one-quarter teaspoonful of salt. Cook slowly and stir often for two hours, or until of the desired thickness; then stir in one teaspoonful of cinnamon. Apple Butter With Lemons. Slice four lemons, cover with water and let stand over night. Next morning put them in a preserving kettle with eight pounds of apples, pared, cored and sliced. Cook for one hour; add three pounds of sugar and cook slowly, with frequent stirring, one and one-half hours longer, or until of the proper thickness. Apple Butter With Plums. Apple Butter With Plums. An exceedingly rich and snappy butter is made with apples and plums. Use one measure of plums to two measures of peeled and sliced apples. Wash and cook the plums and rub through a strainer or colander to get out the pits. Cook the apples into sauce, add the stewed plums and continue cooking an hour or two until of the right consistency. When two-thirds cooked, add two pounds of sugar per gallon. When finished, used spices and vanilla according to taste. A good proportion is one-half teaspoonful each of ground cinnamon, cloves and allspice, and from two to four teaspoonfuls of vanilla per gallon. Pear Butter. Pear butter is made like apple butter without the cider. Use pears ripe enough to cook up well. Peel, core and slice them; put in a preserving kettle with a little water and cook slowly until soft. Then add the sugar, one cupful to one quart of sliced pears, and continue cooking very slowly, with frequent stirring, for one and a half to two hours. The butter should then be smooth and of the consistency of thick apple sauce. Stir into the hot butter a little lemon juice, with cinnamon, ginger, or other spices to taste. Pack while hot in hot sterilized containers and cover with paraffin, or process in a hot water bath in sealed containers ten to twenty minutes. Peach Butter. Put the peaches in a wire basket and dip them in boiling water a few seconds, or until the skin slips. Dip them in cold water, peel them and pit them. Well-ripened freestone varieties are best. Mash the pulp and cook it in its own juice, without adding water. If it is rather coarse it may be put through a sieve. To each measure or pound of pulp add a half-measure or half-pound of sugar, cook slowly and stir frequently until the product is of the desired thickness. The sugar may be added before cooking begins, if de- The Kitchen Cabinet A dalty salad is always a welcome addition to any meal and she is indeed wise who will avail herself of the wonderful combinations to be found in almost any market or garden. Cheese and Pear Salad. —Arrange halves of fresh stewed or canned pears individually on nests of lettuce leaves, fill the centers with grated cheese and top with mayonnaise. Fresh pears, if very ripe, are delicous served thus. Sprinkle with a bit of lemon juice and sugar, cover and let stand a few minutes to season. Cheese Balls and Watercress.—Take two cupfuls of cottage cheese, dry and unsalted. Mix it with one-half cupful of catsup, one and one-half teaspoonfuls of salt, one-half teaspoonful of paprika and one-third of a cupful of chopped nuts. Chill thoroughly and make into balls. Place three or four balls on a bed of crisp watercress and serve ice-cold with mayonnaise. This recipe will serve eight. Cottage cheese blended with a highly-seasoned boiled dressing and served on watercress makes a most delicious simple salad. The ideal washcloth for baby's bath is the one made of three or four thicknesses of gauze, bound around the edge with a soft ribbon or worked around with a soft-finished crochet cotton. Lima beans, cooked until tender and served with butter and cream with seasoning, are delicious. A few hills of these beans will supply a small family with plenty for the fall. To remove grease from matting, scrape French chalk freely over the spot, sprinkle on enough benzine to moisten it, and when the benzine has evaporated brush off the chalk and the spot will have disappeared. A ruffle at the bottom of the kitchen apron is not merely a trimming. Its fullness makes it outstanding, thus preventing anything spilled from finding a landing place on the skirt. Pictures should be hung at the height of the eye of the average person. When ironing lace, embroidered garments or bedding or any kind of initials or hand work, have a piece of an old Turkish towel fastened to one end of the ironing board to lay these pieces on. Heavy, well-made laundry baskets are expensive, but bushel baskets may be bought for a few cents and two or three of them kept just for the clothing. They are light, easy to carry and one may have as many as convenient When recovering your ironing board use two thicknesses of cotton batting, if you haven't an old blanket to pad it. When sending handkerchiefs to the laundry fasten them to a strip of tape and they will always come back together. The ironing is but a few moments' work. With a small line on the plaza for hanging small things and baby clothes, the doll clothespins are just the size to hang them firmly on the cord. When drying a washed sweater in winter lay it on a cloth on a window screen; place on two chairs over a hot air register. Lay the sweater so that it will dry in its original form (flat in the back and the fullness in front) pulling out the sleeves to make them roomy. In cold weather when hanging out clothes mittens are unhandy and the fingers get numb so quickly. Try heating the clothespins in the oven until good and hot—this will keep the hands warm and hurry the hanging process. Sprinkle clothes with hot water and they may be ironed within a few minutes. Net curtains may be washed, slipped onto a rod top and bottom and hung to dry. They will dry perfectly straight and even. Pull the heading with the fingers when nearly dry and they will look as if they had been carefully stretched. Add a bit of paraffin to the boiled starch when making it. This will keep it from sticking to the iron. Always save all bits of broken paraffin from jelly glasses, a piece the size of a small bean is sufficient for two quarts of starch. Nellie Maxwell with a good-sized reflector. The substantial, compact, homemade towel rack which permits one to reach every towel is another good feature; also the handy hook for the dishpan, the covered garbage pail operated by foot pressure, and the large pitcher ready to pour boiling hot rinsing water over the dishes as they are washed. The cold closet should be especially noted. It is made flush with the wall of the kitchen, into which it opens. On the outside of the house it may be seen projecting out about 12 inches, finished with clapboards like the house, and having a ventilated bottom. This is a convenient substitute for the ordinary window box which frequently shuts off light and air and is not always easy to open with one hand if a dish is held in the other ready to put away. sired. The meats of several pits may be cooked, either whole or sliced, in each gallon of butter. While still hot, pack in sterilized jars or glasses and process 20 minutes in a hot water bath or cover with hot paraffin. Plum Butter. Wash the plums and cook till soft with a little water. Rub the pulp through a coarse wire sieve. For each measure of pulp use half to three-quarters of a measure of sugar and cook slowly, with frequent stirring, until the butter is as thick as desired. If a tart butter is favored, less sugar should be used. If the plums are very juicy the pulp put through the colander may need to be boiled down and thickened before the sugar is measured or added. Cinnamon, allspice and cloves should be added to suit the taste, when the cooking is finished. Plum butter should be packed while hot in the same way as other butters or preserves. METHOD OF CLARIFYING FAT Melt With at Least an Equal Volume of Water and Heat for Short Time. An old-fashioned method of clarifying fat from the soup kettle or from cooked meats such as bacon, ham, chicken, beef, sausage, and other sources, is recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture. Melt the fat with at least an equal volume of water and heat for a short time at a moderate temperature, stirring the mixture occasionally. When cold, remove the cake of fat and scrape off any small particles of meat and skin that adhere. Some fats are better flavored than others for use in pastry or cake making, but all cleanly rendered fats may be used in frying. If the flavor or color or both are not satisfactory at the first rendering, the process may be repeated several times. Another method, often recommended, is to cook a number of slices of raw potato in the boiling fat. The addition of a small uncut onion, a few leaves of summer savory and thyme, salt and pepper, when rendering meat drippings, makes a savory fat useful for gravies. Sausage fat is excellent for frying meats which have less flavor of their own, as veal cutlet or rabbit. Fat in small quantities may be easily kept sweet in the ice box for cooking purposes. If lard is rendered at home in large quantities to last a long time it should be kept covered in tins or earthen jars, in a cool, dry place. OF INTEREST TO THE HOUSEWIFE An oilcloth apron is an excellent thing to wear when washing dishes. It is best to roast a pan chicken with the breast down. It will be more juicy. The lining of the eggshells will clear the coffee, without using the white of the egg. A cloth-covered broom will readily wipe the dust from papered walls and ceilings. A cake of paraffin added to the water in which clothes are boiled will make them white and clean. The paraffin should first be placed in the cold water and allowed to melt as the water heats.

"A woman's work, grave sin, is never done." SOME DIFFERENT SOUPS A good-flavored soup is an all-the-year seasonable dish and even in hot H soup is enjoyed. Combination Soup.—Soak one-half cupful of rice in four cupfuls of water until the grains swell. Put over the heat, adding two cupfuls of diced raw potatoes, one grated onion, one and one-half cupfuls of celery chopped. Simmer gently until nearly done, then add three cupfuls of milk, two tablespoonfuls of butter, one and one-half teaspoonfuls of salt, a teaspoonful of minced parsley, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of pepper. Cook until well seasoned. Red Beet Soup.—Wipe three pounds of the shin of beef and cut the lean part into cubes. Place in a soup kettle together with three quarts of boiling water, three onions sliced thin, one teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of whole allspice, one-half cupful of vinegar, one-half cupful of sugar, six medium-sized beets and one-fourth of a teaspoonful of pepper. Boil the beets for a few minutes, then skin them and grate. Add to the soup and cook for two and one-half hours, adding more water as necessary. Strain and serve hot with boiled potatoes. Pimento Cheese Soup.—Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add one tablespoonful of cornstarch and cook together until smooth, then add two and one-half cupfuls of milk gradually and heat to the scalding point. Add one-half pound of American cheese cut into small pieces, stir until it is melted, then add one-fourth of a cupful of chopped pimentos, salt, celery, onion salt, cayenne pepper to taste. Serve with strips of crisp, buttered toast piled log cabin fashion on a plate. Sweet Potato Soup.—Take two cupfuls of baked sweet potato, mash, put through a ricer, add a quart of hot milk and put into a double boiler. Brown two tablespoonfuls of flour, add two tablespoonfuls of butter, and when smooth add the milk; season to taste and serve with a dash of cinnamon. Now is the time; ah, friend.

A Scandinavian cake which once tried will be a cherished recipe is prepared as follows: Fattig man Bakelse. — Beat two eggs until light, add one tablespoonful of sugar and three tablespoonfuls of Fattigman Bakelse. — Beat two eggs until light, add one tablespoonful of sugar and three tablespoonfuls of cream, mix well, then stir in one and three-fourths cupfuls of pastry flour; when well mixed roll very thin. Cut into diamond-shaped pieces with two slashes in the center of each. Fry in deep fat, drain on paper and dust with powdered sugar before serving. Maple Doublets.—Take one cupful of maple sirup, three egg yolks well-beaten and a tablespoonful of melted fat. Add three cupfuls of pastry flour, one-half teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder all sifted well together. Now fold in the stiffly beaten whites. Drop on baking sheets far enough apart, as they spread in baking. Drop by teaspoonfuls. Bake twelve minutes and put together in pairs with maple fondant or fudge between. Filled Cookies.—Take one-half cupful each of shortening, brown sugar and molasses, one egg, one-fourth of a cupful of sour milk or buttermilk, one teaspoonful each of soda and baking powder, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, one-fourth teaspoonful each of cloves and nutmeg, three cupfuls of pastry flour sifted well with the dry ingredients. Mix well, roll out very thin and cut into strips two inches by four. Spread lightly with filling and fold over to form a square. Filling: One-half cupful each of honey and broken butternut meats, a teaspoonful of flour and a few grains of salt. Bake in a moderate oven twenty minutes. Marshmallow Custard.—Beat two eggs slightly and add two tablespoonfuls of sugar, two cupfuls of thin cream and flavoring to taste. Place a marshmallow in the bottom of each custard cup and pour the mixture over them. Bake in a pan of hot water until the custards are set. Place in the ice box to chill. Apple Porcupines.—Steam cored and peeted apples in a sirup until well cooked but not broken. Thrust quarered blanched almonds into the apples and place in a baking dish with the sirup. Bake until the almonds are lightly browned. Chill and serve with cream. Nellie Maxwell THE STAR HAIR GROWER A Wonderful Hair Dressing and Grower. 1,000 AGENTS WANTED.

Pretty Things that are made at Home HOWEVER informed and purposeful women of today may be, however businesslike and practical, they show no disposition to turn their backs upon the pretty furbelows that it is the privilege of the gentler sex to wear. The more advanced they become, the more generally appreciative of the niceties of dress they are; the more alert and alive to its possibilities. The fall season is here and has brought with it the most elaborate and T T ```markdown ``` diversified styles in all departments of dress that this generation has seen. Taking dress accessories made of ribbon as an example, we find them in greater numbers than ever, and of ribbon girdles, saashes and bags it is safe to say that most of them are made at home. Women see them in the shops and copy them, and special designers keep turning out new models of these enticing and beautiful accessories. A flower girdle and two bags are illustrated here. Those forehanded women who occupy their leisure time making gifts a long way in advance of the holidays will find inspiration in these fine feminine belongings. Two-toned satin ribbon in peach and yellow is used for the lovely girdle—two lengths rolled and twisted together support three flowers, have pointed L 1 EXTREMES OF THE MODE petals and little rose centers made of the ribbon. The girdle fastens with a snap fastener under one of the flowers and three ends of ribbon, in different lengths, fall from it. They are trimmed on the bias as the ends and the middle length show the darker side of the ribbon. At the left a flower bag is shown made of two-toned (black and white) satin ribbon. Lengths of the ribbon are stitched together to form the bag and a flat rosette is set in a bow of ribbon on one of its sides. The center of the rosette is sprinkled with French knots in white silk floss, prettily simulating stamens of the flower. Two widths of green and gold broaded ribbon are stitched together to make the rich bag shown at the right. The bag is lined with silk gathered at the top and sewed to a metal bag-top. A good quality of silk or satin lines these bags and often their handles are made of the ribbon or of silk cord, which is run through a casing near the top and out through openings at the side. A frock, following the fashion of simplicity to its extreme, may consist of little more than one large A tube-like affair for the body, with two small tubes for sleeves; but if the material is chosen with care and the trimming applied with discrimination, the finished garment has the dignity and charm that belong to simplicity. A garment of this character is shown at the right of the picture. It is of brocaded silk, cut in the straightline style, and is trimmed with plain silk ruffles at the sleeves and along the side opening. Six large pearl buttons, and a belt of the material, contribute the proper finishing touches to this ingenious, practical and becoming frock. The other extreme of the present fashions is illustrated in the frock shown at the left. This is of midnight-blue crepe de chine with a deep plaited lace bertha at the neck. The circular skirt is draped in a long spiral, beginning at the waistline. The cuffs are of Empire inspiration and are made of dark georgette, edged with lace, and caught up to the sleeves with flat velvet bows. The first velvet evening gowns of the season have made their appearance and, naturally, they are shown in the long simple lines that are favored in coats and suits. Many are sleeveless, with long waistlines, and jeweled girdles about the hips. Underblouses of metallic cloth and brocade are beauti- CATT fully combined with the fashionable colors in velvet, beading is stronger than ever and a new development in beading appears in large, cut beads that resemble precious stones. Julia Bottomley (©, 1923, Western Newspaper Union.) A Practical Gown. A frock of crepe de chine in shades of biege or gray made on straight lines and finished with collar and cuffs of colored linen frilled at the edges is as useful as it is smart. The sleeves are long and tight. THE OLD RELIABLE DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING CO.
