THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY WHITE TEXAS DEMOCRAT WANTS DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL TO CURB MOB VOL. XXIX. B RICE COLLINS, a Texas Democrat, has written to the Dallas News, urging enactment of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill to curb the mob in Texas, it was announced today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue. His letter follows: For Dyer Bill Unless Mob Activity Checked "In a recent issue of The News, W. E. Doyle of Teague, Texas, states that the 'Coolidge cohorts will reintroduce the iniquitous Dyer Bill with a view of making mob violence a crime against the Federal Government,' that 'the new idea will deprive the State of fundamental rights,' and that the deprivation of these rights will result in a 'centralized government.' Granted, Mr. Doyle. Now let us view the question from another angle. Every citizen of this Nation has been guaranteed certain 'fundamental,' inalienable rights, among which are the right to present a writ of habeas corpus when lawfully detained, the right to be tried in a duly constituted court when accused of crime, and the right to 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness' when unconvicted of crime in such a court. "I insist that when either of these sacred 'fundamental' rights are in a large degree abrogated in a State; when men and women are killed, maimed, beaten or tarred and feathered by extra-legal groups or mobs, and the perpetrators of the crimes remain unwhipped of justice through the failure or fear of the State and local governmental authorities to intervene, then that State has no 'reserved rights' should feel bound to respect "I am a Texas-born Democrat, and do not think I ever had a relative who was not a Democrat or who ever lived in any other than a Southern State. A few years ago no one could have made me believe that the time would ever come when I would surrender my Jeffersonian ideas for the Hamiltonian principle of centralization, and even yet I have not crossed the Rubicon. But I had a thousand times rather live under a centralized government or autocracy than a mobocracy or reign of minority terrorism. Lamar County, considering its large population, has been comparatively free from mob activity during the last two years, but in probably at least fifty Texas counties the wielders of the six shooter, the wet ropes and the tar bucket have perpetrated repeated atrocities without legal sanction. "If the government authorities of a State will not or cannot uphold the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, then I, a Southern-born Democrat, am anxious for the passage of the Dyer Bill, and hope that the Federal Government will utilize the whole United States army, if necessary, in enforcing it. I abide every law and favor the legal enforcement of every law good or bad. Hence I see no Damoclean sword above my head." REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION BACKS DYER BILL Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct. 1.—"Believing that the enactment of the Dyer Antilynching Bill will be in harmony with the tradition and spirit of the Republican Party of the Nation and State," and Kings County Republican Club passed a resolution backing the measure to be presented to the next Congress. Charles C. Lockwood, State Senator, is a member of the Club, and many other leading Republicans are connected. King Knights Bishop Brooks Monrovia, Liberia, Aug. 27.—In the presence of a throng that jammed its spacious auditorium almost to suffocation and which overflowed the campus, the Monrovia College and Industrial Training School was dedicated here Sunday, Ex-president Arthur Barclay, Liberia's grand old man, presided. He introduced President C. B. D. King who delivered a markful dedicatory address. The president's speech was frequently interrupted by applause. The climax came, however, when at the conclusion of his remarks he turned to Bishop W. Sampson Brooks of Baltimore who had built the institution with funds raised in America and conferred upon him the high honor of Commander Grade Order of the Star of Africa, a most coveted honor conferrable by the Liberian government. Bishop Brooks was so overcome with emotion that lie could make no immediate reply, great tears taking the place of words, and this visibly affected the big audience which had come to the exercises. Then insignia of the order is a heavy gold jewel about the size of an ordinary watch, suitably inscribed and handsomely encased. In awarding the diploma, which is an accompaniment to the insignia the President said: "This diploma is expressive of the very high consideration and appreciation which the people of Liberia through their Chief Executive attach to the energies you have unreservedly spent in this country in the furtherance of education, one of the most essential elements of human civilization and progress. While the Monrovia College stands as a monument of your labors, this diploma goes to express the endorsement and approval of those for whose benefit such a structure has been erected, and at the same time to show that you have attained to this degree of distinction by the course of merit." President Warns Department Heads Washington, Sept. 27.—It is reported here that President Coolidge has issued an order to all bureaus and departments of the government that "there must not be any discrimination in the treatment of employees or citizens on account of color" during his administration. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1923 Capt. C. G. Kelly Of Tuskegee Drops Dead In His Home Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Sept. 29. Captain Charles G. Kelly, Co-ordinator at the Institute for the U. S. Veterans' Bureau, dropped dead in his home here on Saturday, Sept. 15, at 1:00 P. M. His death was a shock to the community. He was severely gassed during the war, but in late years his health was apparently good. Captain Kelly received his commission at the Training Camp for Negro Officers at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, in 1917. He was with the 366th Infantry, 92nd Division of the A. E. F. and since 1919, has been in charge of the rehabilitation of Negro Disabled Veterans of the World War at the Institute. He had just received a like appointment from the Government to the Veterans' Hospital, No. 91, at Tuskegee. Tennis Tournament Won by Texas Girl New York, Oct. 1.—Miss Viola T Dolphie, who came to New York a year ago, won the annual tennis tournament at Central Park. As her opponents appeared they were singly eliminated by the brilliant playing of Miss Dolphie, whose opponent in the finals was Miss Dalia Schwimmer, a Jewish girl. The winner is from Corpus Christi, Texas, and attended Austin High School, Tillitson College, and finally graduated from Fisk University at Nashville. Hospital At Tuskegee, Alabama, Completing A Colored Staff. The United States Civil Service Commission states that the work of providing a staff of colored men and women for the United States Veterans' Bureau Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., is progressing satisfactorily; that many colored eligibles have been appointed and are now on duty at the hospital and that others will be appointed until an entire colored staff is enrolled. The Commission states that it has secured a sufficient number of eligibles for positions of nurse, dentist, and pharmacist, and also enough eligibles for positions of physician, with the possible exception of specialists in tuberculosis and neurophysiology. There is still need for colored eligibles for positions of reconstruction aide and reconstruction assistant in occupational therapy and psyiotherapy, dietitian, laboratorian in bacteriology, and laboratorian in roentgenology. Full information concerning the requirements for entrance to these positions may be secured from the United States Civil Service Commission, Washington, D. C., or the secretary of the fifth U. S. civil-service district, Post Office, Atlanta, Ga. Creation and Maintenance THE TREND of American policy toward the Negro is to complete the spiritual, mental and material isolation of the race. This policy persists in spite of the best efforts of American Negroes to become 100 per cent citizens of the nation. Out of the fact arises the need of a new system of ideas created and maintained wholly by Negroes to counteract the evil of the traditional American policy toward the race. Negroes have proceeded thus far relying on a system of ideas that will not sustain them in the future. They must have something new. Twelve million souls practically ignored by their government—without a single voice in its legislative bodies. How pathetic! Apparently the race knows neither its danger nor strength. Negroes have been fooled by politicians, exploited for their labor, degraded by landlords and drugged by philanthropists for fifty-seven years. A Job as political hireling or buffer during election time or a subordinate appointment afterwards have constituted most Negro political ideas to date. The laborer has had no one of his race to teach him his power and possibilities in shaping the destiny of the race. There has been too much dependence upon the sympathy and charity of the philanthropic class whose magnificent gifts are weakening the instinct of self-help which must be strongly developed in the Negro race. It is time now for Negroes to have a racial creed, if they ever hope to become front-line American citizens. The fundamental article of this new creed should be solidarity of racial interests and aspirations. Unity should be the watch-word—spiritual, mental and material unity. The last Negro in America should be taught to think of himself as a sharer in a common faith, a common hope and be thrilled by a common passion for spiritual, mental and material advancement creditable to the initiative and creative instincts of the race. Well-meaning and able leaders of the race must recognize that the present is not like the past. The situation imposes a special duty upon the best minds of the Negroes in this country. If this duty is not performed 12,000,000 Negroes and their descendants may yet find themselves weak to hopelessness because of unpreparedness for the responsibility of talkng care of themselves in this world.—Pittsburg American. C. E. James, Labor Leader, Dies At St. Paul (Lincoln Service) St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 1.—While talking and laughing with friends at his home, Charles E. James, 59 years of age, nationally known colored labor lender was attacked by heart failure and died immediately. Mr. James was president of the Trades and Labor Assembly, and was active in St. Paul labor circles, acting as a member of the national board of the Shoe Workers' Union for twenty years. He had traveled extensively and was well known from coast to coast. LOUISIANA COLORED NEWSPAPER GIVES REASONS FOR NEGRO EXODUS Cites Beating of Colored Women by White Men in Shreveport THE NATIONAL Association for Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public extracts from an open letter published September 22 by the Shreveport Sun, a colored Louisiana newspaper, citing the beating of colored women by white men as a cause of the Negro exodus from that section. The Shreveport Sun gives the following eye-witness stories: "On Friday morning, September 7 between 7 and 8 o'clock, I was coming to town on the Highland Car. At one of the stops in Kings Highway, I heard the conductor ask, 'What did you say?' On looking around I found that he was talking to a young colored woman—the only one on the car. He opened the door of the car, the woman leaped from the car and began running. The conductor left his car and chased her nearly a block. When he overtook her, he struck her several times with his fist, holding his car key in the other hand. The woman showed no fight at all, her only defense being an attempt to escape; but this proved insufficient and the brave, heroic conductor gave the defenseless, helpless colored woman a sound beating on the public highway. "Several white men and a few colored men were on the car. Not one word was said in the defense of this unprotected, helpless colored woman. The white men said nothing because, possibly, they did not care to be mixed up with the affair, and the colored men said nothing because they knew that it would mean additional trouble in which they would get the worst of the deal regardless to the rightness of their stand." Two White Men Beat Colored Girl "A few weeks ago two white men beat a 15 year old colored girl on Marshall Street in sight of the Post Office Building in the presence of many people, states another colored citizen who was struck in the face by one of the assailants of the girl when he attempted to rescue her. "The colored girl,' states Eye Witness, 'was going up Marshall Street. When she passed two white men, for some reason, which I did not learn, one of the men slapped her down. When she stood on her feet again, the other white man knocked her down with his fist. Then I went to the girl and picked her up. When I straightened up, one of the men struck me in the face with his fist, but I told the girl to go on in the opposite direction, which she did and thus escaped additional brutal treatment. I knew I was in for trouble when I attempted to lift the girl from the ground, but I decided that the risk was necessary. Nobody said anything in defense of this helpless girl or me, although several persons were lookers-on. No arrests were made—the girl simply was given a public thrashing on the public highway, and being ONLY a Negro, there was nothing to be said or done about it." NO. 51 Negro and White Farmers Pool Crops Alken, Ga., Sept. 27.-The Negro and white farmers in this section of the State have agreed to co-operate and pool their interests for the general good of the local farmers. At a recent meeting of Negro farmers the expressed approval of the plan of cooperation brought to them by Geo. W. Craft, president of the Farmer's Exchange, which provides for "mutual protection" of all the farmers In Alken County. Colored Woman Leaves Estate To White People Baltimore, Md., Oct. 1.—Baltimoreons prominent in society were remembered in the will of Mrs. Alice Davis, colored, filed for probate in the Orphans' Court by William F. Lucas, Jr., executor. Mrs. Davis died July 27 at the age of seventy-two. She had served for fifty-five years in the family of Mr. and Mrs. John Moncure Robinson, and in her will remembers several members of the Robinson family. LOCAL BUSINESSMEN IN NEW YORK TO CLOSE TWELVE MILLION CONTRACT Prince Owusu S. Agyeman, native of Gold Coast, West Africa! Arthur D. Stevenson, Esq. prominent local attorney, and Mrs. Thomas T. Jackson, well known in insurance circles, are in New York to close an important contract which practically assures the success of the West African trading company of which they are a part. This company trades under the name of the William J. Curtis Company and has large holdings at Coomassie, Ashanti, Gold Coast, West Africa. It is rumored that this contract involves from three to twelve million dollars annual income to the company. BAPTISTS MAKING A SHOWING (Special from Nashville) On recommendation of President L. K. Williams, the National Baptist convention voted that the four hundred ten thousand dollar building they are now erecting in this city be known as the "E. C. Morris Memorial Building." It is reported that President Williams of the N. B. C. will call an executive board meeting here the first week in December, and it may be the cornerstone of the Morris Memorial Building, the home of the Sunday School Publishing Board, will be laid at that time. The Board of Promotion of the N. B. C. which was created in April, last, and told to raise one hundred thousand dollars, claims to have raised seventeen thousand fifty dollars, and they are now after the balance. The building committee must have fifty thousand dollars in November, and Dr. Jordan, director of the drive, believed the Baptists will give it. He says: "When Baptists must, they can do big things—just watch us get that $50,000 by November. FOREIGN A new record for gilders was established in Berlin when a Botsch machine covered more than nineteen kilometers (about ten miles) before it grounded. The allied occupation of Constantinople formally ended a few days ago. For weeks transports have been evacuating troops and material, while one by one the warships have slipped away. Baron Iuin, the new premier of Japan, is quoted by the Tokio Hochl as saying the cabinet favors reopening negotiations with soviet Russia as soon as possible with a view to resuming relations with that country. Young Hitlerites (Bavarian Fasclisti) invaded a synagogue in Munich, maltreating aged Jews who were at worship. Passersby in the streets were beaten when they refused to take off their hats to the Fasclisti. The bands roved through the streets singing antisemitic songs and jeering the Jews. An impressive farewell was given to David Lloyd George as he left London for a six weeks' tour of Canada and the United States. A large crowd of admirers and former cabinet associates assembled at the Waterloo station, and cheered him with a spontaneity and enthusiasm reminiscent of the days of his premiership. American Red Cross officials engaged in relief work in Tokio estimated 225,000 persons were killed, approximately 450,000 injured and about 2,000,000 made wholly or partially destitute in Tokio, Yokohama and vicinity by the earthquake. High praise was given to Japanese officials for their co-operation. Four hundred Nationalists and twelve ringleaders who seized the fortress at Kuestrin have all been arrested by reichswehr, it was officially announced in Berlin. After being disarmed they were locked up in the fortress which they had seized. The official statement placed the Nationalists' casualties as one dead and several wounded. A few nights ago in London it took George Carpentier, the French fighter, just about twenty seconds to put the queltus on the championship aspirations of Joe Beckett, who holds the heavyweight title in Great Britain. Carpentier used both lefts and rights in a brief series of exchanges, and Beckett remained on the floor for the final count. Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, speaking at Northampton, England, declared that his conference with Premier Polincare in Paris last week had had the effect of restoring the former good relations between France and Great Britain. The atmosphere of restraint and almost of distrust, that prevailed between the two countries when the present British government came into office has been changed, he said, into one of mutual confidence. GENERAL Oklaoma voters repudiated Gov. J. C. Walton by authorizing the Legislature to conduct a special session to investigate actions of the state's executive. S. K. Lesky of Ellsworth, Kan., has filed suit in United States District Court at Muskegee, Okla., against the Ku Klux Klan, asking $150,000 damages for injuries he said he incurred when he was tarred and feathered in Tulsa county in July of last year. One of the Outstanding features of the annual convention of the American Mining Congress in Milwaukee was the presentation by William C. Russell, mining engineer of Denver, on behalf of United States Senator Lawrence C. Phipps of Colorado, of a paper on "The Potentialities of the Oil Shale Industry." Senator Phipps stated Colorado alone contains 900,000 acres of oil shale, capable of producing 67,500,000,000 barrels of oil. San Francisco was selected as the place of meeting of the twenty-seventh annual convention at the board of directors' meeting of the congress. In addition to the Missouri hearing, to be held at St. Louis, Oct. 8, upon the proposed stock issue and sale of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railway Company of Colorado, a hearing also will be held in Kansas City, Oct. 6, according to an announcement made at Jefferson City by Attorney General Jesse W. Barrett of Missouri. Tying ether-soaked handkerchiefs over the faces of their victims and mistreating them for over an hour, three masked bandits forced James C. Gunning and his two daughters at Decaur, Ill., to reveal the place of concealment of jewels valued at $1,500. The robbers escaped from the Gunning home with the valuables, leaving Mr. Gunning and the two girls in a serious condition. Wage increase requests for restoration of schedules in effect before the approximately $12\frac{1}{2}$ per cent reduction handed down by the United States railroad labor board on July 1, 1921, has been presented to many railroads throughout the country by representatives of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, where contracts expired Oct. 1. One woman is dead, her daughter probably fatally injured, and another daughter less seriously injured from a fire police say resulted from the explosion of a moonshine still in a Chicago apartment house. Mrs. Pasquila Rodriguez was killed. Carmen, 9 years old, may die. Josephine, another daughter, was painfully burned. Herolic work of firemen in carrying the fire victims from the blazing building resulted in citations for bravery for Martin Connor, John Ryan, Chester Sullivan and Daniel Walsh. THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR-EIGN COUNTRIES IN LATE DISPATCHES IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE WESTERN In one of the greatest races ever staged in the Western League, Oklahoma City won the 1923 championship when Tulsa, their close rival, dropped a double-header to Omaha, while the Indians were idle with Denver because of wet grounds. Steve Yovanovich, "king" of the Yovanovich tribe of gypsies, renounced his crown in Los Angeles a few minutes before the time set for his coronation. He announced his conversion to the Christian religion. His action was taken in the Angelus temple in Los Angeles, where hundreds had gathered to see him crowned king of all the American gypsies. J. Frank Norfleet of Hale Center, Texas, who for the last four years has devoted practically his entire time to seeking out the men who fleeced him out of $40,000 in Fort Worth, Texas, in November, 1919, completed his work, as the last of the alleged bunko men is now in the toils of the law. M. P. Hunt, a salesman of Salt Lake City just at present, but formerly known as W. B. Spencer, of Texas, is the man identified by Norfleet as the last of the bunko men. The sixth Arizona Legislature will not be called into extraordinary session for some time, "at least not for thirty days," Gov. George W. P. Hunt said in Phoneix upon his return from Washington where he headed an Arizona delegation which presented a state plan for development of the Colorado river. The governor asserted he believed the Arizona delegates made progress at the Washington conference with the federal power commission, for the development of the river under the "Arizona plan" of state ownership. A. Cotsworth, Jr., general passenger agent of the Burlington at Omaha, who was summoned from a tour of his territory to the scene of the wreck near Casper, made the following statement: "The wreck was one of those frightful affairs which, seemingly, cannot be prevented by any amount of precaution. It is a matter of definite record that about 7:30 o'clock Thursday evening the section foreman not only walked over, but climbed under and examined that bridge as a part of his regular duties. Everything at that time was all right, and the water was only about two feet deep in Cole creek. The accident happened less than two hours later, and the creek was then a raging torrent, eighteen to twenty feet deep. A local cloudburst to the north at about that time can be the only explanation to such a suddenly changed situation." WASHINGTON Declaration that the child labor question is the vital one of the hour was emphasized by President Samuel Gompers in his annual address at the opening of the forty-third annual convention of the American Federation of Labor at Portland, Ore. He discussed this question before he turned his attention to "reds" and radicals. Revival of the United States Grain Corporation, with authority to purchase 200,000,000 bushels of American wheat in the open market is the plan most favored by the Coolidge administration for the relief of the agricultural industry, it was learned in Washington. The purchase price would be $1.50 a bushel if the plan is finally adopted. Treasury operation during September resulted in a net decrease in the public debt of $74,414,370, leaving the government's total outstanding obligations at $22,125,614,247. The figures compiled in Washington revealed also that the general fund which had sunk to $252,450,238 at the end of August, had grown during September to $422,-747,512. Delegates from forty-two nations, including scientists, public health officials and manufacturers of dairy products and machinery, assembled in Washington for the opening session of the World's Dairy Congress. Discussion by experts of the Department of Agriculture of progress in various phases of the industry occupied much of the program for the two days' session. Vast geological changes in the Andes mountains are being pushed slowly eastward and the California coast ranges forced northward are in progress, in the opinion of Dr. Bailey Willis, professor emeritus of geology at Leland Sanford university. The eastern part of Japan, he said, probably is moving westward. Dr. Willis has just returned to Washington from South America where he was sent by the Carnegie institution of Washington to study the earthquake which rocked Chile a year ago.

Complete reports show a total of 5,422,100 acres planted for harvest this year, compared with 5,713,651 acres planted for the 1922 harvest. On account of the favorable weather this season and more favorable prices for farm products, however, the acreage harvested this year actually will exceed that harvested last year and the value of the crop will exceed that of last year by 10 per cent. Fort Collins.—Just a few minutes before he went on trial In the District Court here, charged with the theft of an automobile, William B. Sherrill and Miss Mary A. Potter were married. This was the second wedding ceremony for the couple, the first having been in Texas. Judge J. H. Bouton of the County Court performed the ceremony.

Pueblo.—The state fair here opened with a huge parade and a monthh crowd attended the horse show in the evening, all the boxes to the event having been sold a week before the show. Denver.—Presence of mind and the fact that he was an experienced swimmer are the two reasons assigned by H. D. Bellrose for his escape with his life from the Burlington wreck in Wyoming. "I'm sore all over," declared Bellrose, "but am thankful that I am alive. My face is cut by glass and I have a wrenched wrist and a score of bruises, but no bones are broken, and after I get a real rest I will be the same old man." Arvada.—With the arrest in Pueblo of Lee Barnes, 23 years old, who is alleged to have confessed his part in the robbery of the First State Bank of Arvada, and the arrest in Denver of a mysterious young woman who is believed by the police to know considerable about the affair, the police believe they are close to a solution of the daring daylight holdup.

HALF THE ROAD IS YOURS SOME one, in a moment of joviality or anger perhaps, coined a choice bit of philosophy in the rather crude and "rube" like expression now appearing on many autos, "Howdy, half the road is yours." In its primitive inception it was no doubt intended as a word of warning to the head-strong, wilful and selfish road hog, who, once stepping upon the gas, forgets that anyone else on earth has right to any portion of the public thoroughfare. There are those who look neither to the right nor to the left in the possible contingency of aiding some fellow motorist who perchance might be in trouble or whose safety and comfort might be materially enhanced if given just a small portion of the road. Thus there enters into the brusque salutation, "Howdy, half the road is yours," an element of common sense and sage advice that can be profitably extended to all walks of life. In plain truth there is much of the principles of the golden rule to be found in the suggestion. In the business world, in civic affairs, in politics and even in religion the admonition that only half the road is yours, is readily applicable. Too often we are inclined to imagine ourselves the whole thing in riding along life's highway. Our easy going breeds selfishness, and it is only when we are severely bumped into that we awake to the realization that others have equal rights with us. There are many agencies, many associations and many federations in the world today, ostensibly looking to a betterment of human conditions. Success or failure depends in large part on the final recognition of the one eternal principle of "give and take." No one is entitled to more than his life's half. We say we are battling for our rights, but are we battling with a comprehension that our rights must end where the other fellow's begin. The greatest curse of the age is selfishness, and though a very human instinct, it is the one element that has brought more misery and woe into the world than any other. If in the early summer of 1914 the war-crazed Kaiser had been confronted with and paid heed to such a slogan the physical aspect of the civilized nations of the world would be far different than today. The strife between capital and labor, between nation and nation, the struggle for manhood rights and justice on the part of the American Negro, the clash between orderly government and Ku Kluxism all could be minimized if not actually adjusted by application of the principle, founded solely upon an equitable consideration for the rights of others, that at all times and under all circumstances "Half the road is yours." A DANGEROUS PHASE OF MIGRATION WHILE there is admitted virtue and decided advantage in the migration of Negro laborers from the Southland to the North, there is cropping out of the situation a possible danger that must be met in the most intelligent manner by all concerned. To a very large degree Negro labor in the South is identified with the farming pursuits and in whatever numbers they may be leaving, marks a distinct loss to an American industry that is already crippled by wholesale desertions. It has been estimated that more than two million people left the farms in 1922. This is an almost unbelievable figure and yet it is vouched for by some of the nation's most eminent experts. No figures are given as to what portion of these may be attributed to Negro migrants from the South. The point of interest in the situation, however, lies in the fact that this massive number of humans, lost to the farm, are crowding into our already congested cities. The truth is bursting upon the American public that laborers are leaving the farm and flocking to the city with almost reckless abandon. So far as our own group is concerned we think there is great danger in the movement. That the Negro is justified in fleeing the oppressive conditions of the South goes without saying and it is our hope that it will be kept up until a notably improved condition shall manifest itself down there. But responsibility always goes with opportunity and in seeking a home in the North the Negro must plan adaptation to the very best possible surroundings. This is not always to be had in an over crowded city. Of course the Negro's farming experience in the South has been bitter and he cannot be wholly blamed for shying at the spectre even under Northern skies. But this will by no means minimize the fact that many of these laborers are far better adapted to the farm than the factory. Then again if substantiality is to stamp the Negro's residence in any part of the country, the acquisition of land must quickly follow his settlement. There is abundant land in the North and West where farming is most profitable, and where living conditions can be made vastly superior to those within easy reach in a big city. We believe we can state without being guilty of disloyalty that many Southern migrants are not fitted for city life, but could be made valuable assets on farm lands. Therefore the choice should be left to them alone. We must have co-operative agencies that will help the new comers in "finding themselves" in the best possible way for there is no power apparent just now that can stem the tide of migration from the South that is just now commanding the attention of the entire country.

"Such Was and Such Is the Part Played by the German Magnates" By JOSEPH CAILLAUX, in Current History Magazine. GERMANY, naturally, did not fail to take advantage of the underlying difference in policy between the victorious powers. It confirmed her in the design which her captains of industry had conceived and imposed on the vacillating government, namely to evade the payment of reparations. . . Germany before the war was a vast firm, an immense factory, if one prefers that term, of which all the parts were closely welded together. The mines, the factories of Alsace, of Lorraine and of Upper Silesia, were incorporated in the edifice, which was supported by the gigantic props called customs duties and especially by the trusts. The enormous structure was bound to collapse whenever one of its parts was torn away, or one of its props damaged. The great German industrial magnates have not understood, or else have not wished to understand, the significance of the defeat inflicted on their country. Instead of reaching the conclusion that the force of circumstances compelled them to establish German economic life on the basis of formulas new to them, but similar to those of their Anglo-Saxon rivals, they undertook, immediately after their defeat, to carry out the designs that they had previously cherished, that is, to construct, by artificial processes, an industrial system so strong that it would be able to crush the universe. Had territory, rich in mines and factories, been taken away from them? What did that matter? They could procure from foreign sources the ore supplies that were indispensable. By means of great internal works they would create economic conditions which would permit them to transport their raw material at little expense, and also to replace the factories they had lost. But money, much money, would be required for all that. How could they find it? By selling, in foreign markets, mark currency, a proceeding which Professor Cassel, whom no one can tax with hatred of Germany, has called "the most gigantic swindling operation that the world has ever known." When one pursues such objectives and undertakes to use all the resources of the nation to acquire mines in Austria, Sweden and Chile, to deepen ports, to dig canals, one cannot dream of paying indemnities to conquerors. Such was and such is the part played by the German magnates. Alaska Has Disclosed to an Astonished World Its Wealth and Possibilities By J. J. UNDERWOOD, in "Alaska, an Empire in the Making." The years that have passed since Alaska came into the possession of the United States have disclosed to an astonished world its great wealth and wonderful possibilities. Its auriferous gravels have yielded untold treasure; its colonies of seal and other mammals have loaded the markets with valuable and beautiful furs; its seas have given up their wealth of food fishes; its barren tundras have presented us the nucleus of the reindeer industry and taught a lesson in the civilization of savage tribes; its agricultural possibilities promise returns in excess of all expectations; its unmeasured timber areas will furnish wood pulp and lumber long after other forests have been exhausted; and its undelved coal-mines suggest a national opulence beyond the dreams of avarice. It may sound like a wild dream to say that within a few years, European immigrants, instead of landing at New York, will land on the Pacific coast, to make productive the unoccupied areas of land in the West and in Alaska. But it is a dream that likely will come true, for Alaska is capable of raising every pound of beef, every sort of vegetable, and every pound of butter or other dairy product that her people will need till the white population increases to two hundred times its present number. Fifty Millions of Farm Loans With But Thirteen Defaults in Six Years Out of $50,000,000 in loans made in Iowa and Illinois by the Chicago Joint Stock Land bank, only thirteen defaults have occurred in six years. One-crop farmers are the deepest sufferers now, because they have not been able to take advantage of the new economics of modern farm equipment. Ninety per cent of the borrowers among the farmers are carrying on in good shape. The farming business is not as bad as painted. More than 50 per cent of the farmers are clear of debt and 90 per cent of the other 50 per cent are in good condition. Only six per cent of the land classified as "agricultural land" is real "plow land." Only 25 per cent of the land in the country is agricultural land, which is valued at $67,000,000,000. The estimated value of crops this year is about $8,500,000,000, which is not such a bad return, even with labor costs taken out. The farmer with a 240-acre farm, worth $50,000., with clod breakers and modern equipment, is making money. The small farmer, on land less valuable with no machinery equipment and small production to the acre, is in a bad fix, but so are manufacturers in the city in poor locations, ill equipment and lack of knowledge. "If Someone Would Invent Solar Engine of Five Per Cent Efficiency" By EDWIN E. SLOSSON, in Science News Bulletin. The greatest waste is our failure to utilize, not our carelessness in methods of utilization. We waste 50 per cent of our petroleum through irrational and competitive drilling. We waste two-thirds of our coal before its energy gets into the engine. But we waste all of the sunshine that falls upon our arid region lands, and that means a greater loss of energy than we get from all our oil and coal. The richest region in the United States is Death valley, California. If some one would invent a solar engine with an efficiency of even five per cent, it would add incalculably to the wealth of the country through the utilization of the wasted sunbeams that fall upon our arid land. Here is a prize bigger than any grasped by coal kings and oil magnates. But nobody comes forward to claim it. Yet very likely the knowledge necessary to achieve this supreme triumph of chemical engineering is already in existence—somewhere. If it is not, there is certainly enough brain-power in the world to solve the problem if it were set to work at it. We are all of us the poorer because of this waste of ideas and inventive genius.

Mr. D. T. Adams and Miss Effie Hoseley, both of Berkeley, were married on September 15, at the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church. Rev. J. T. Muse officiated. It is said that $10,000,000 worth of property was destroyed in this fire, including 1,000 homes that went up in smoke, leaving 6,000 persons homeless. Rev. Dr. J. E. Allen of Denver, Colo., on his way from Los Angeles, where he had been attending the National Baptist convention, stopped over a day and night and visited with Rev. and Mrs. Muse. There were only two persons of our group that lost anything in the fire. Mrs. L. P. Anoids and her niece, Miss Josephine Phillips, who were working for some white people and had their room there in the house where they were working, lost all of their belongings, which consisted of clothing, bedclothing, sewing machine and a few other things. This fire was in a section of the town where no Negroes could buy property because of color.

MAYOR STAPLETON ADDRESSES COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION A heavy downpour of rain Wednesday night kept many away from the regular monthly meeting of the Denver Colored Civic Association, but a goodly-sized crowd was out to hear the address of Mayor B. F. Stapleton. It was the first time that the city's executive head had appeared before the association and his address was of a high order, clean cut and business-like in every way. The mayor spoke along the same lines that has marked his recent addresses before the Civic and Commercial Association, the Kiwanis and Lions clubs, as wel las other civic bodies. He took his hearers readily into his confidence and unfolded the administration's program for the next four years in an able and pleasing manner. The meeting was a great success in the point of enthusiasm at least. Cant. Thos. Campbell presided. Y. M. C. A. NOTES After the dull period caused by the gaiety and pleasure of summer, our subscribers are beginning to pay up their pledges to the new building fund, and the committee of management is anticipating a great revival along that line for this month. The fact, too, that the board of directors is planning to begin work on the new building within a short time should induce every one to look after his subscriptions at once. The work of excavation is soon to begin, and that will be followed up immediately by the builders. Every paid subscription that comes in hastens, therefore, the beginning of the work. The only possible thing that one can do by delaying his payment is the holding up of the completion of the building. Mr. W. E. Parks is busily engaged in rounding up the Hi-Y and Employed Boys' groups; also progress is being made in getting together a group of young men for leaders of boy clubs. This group meets for the present on Wednesday evenings at headquarters, 2602 Welton street. Every young man who likes to work with boys should enroll in this club. The Sunday afternoon meetings for the fall will open on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 14, at Shorter Church. The meetings for the remaining Sundays of the month will also be held there, and will then be passed on to another church. All men are requested to get themselves in readiness to attend that meeting so as to give inspiration to the movement. A letter just received from the office of the International Committee of New York City announces the retirement from the service of Senior Secretary J. E. Moorland. Mr. Channy H. Tobias, for twelve years on the International staff has been appointed to succeed Mr. Moorland. Denver wishes for Mr. Tobias the same degree of success that attended the labors of his predecessor.

Americans Always Have Favored Short Terms of Office, Believing, Apparently, That This Insures Greater Safety for a Free Government. Bx EDWARD B CLARK Washington—General knowledge of the fact that Warren G. Harding was overworked to the breaking point while he was president has lead to discussion in Washington and throughout the country of a change to a system by which a president of the United States will be chosen for one term only and that term to be for six years. There has been talk of this kind before, but it always has been taken out in talking. There seems to be no present reason to think that serious consideration will be given a proposition of this kind. It is held seemingly by the deeper students of democratic institutions that in short terms of office lies the greater safety for free government. The political activities of the American people practically are ceaseless. National, state and local elections follow one another in rapld round. It has been asserted and argued to the limit of patience and endurance that the campaigning times with their attendant excitement, coming as they do with barely a space between, tend to break the health of the business life of the country. Prosperity, however, has been so generally a part of the country's history that little heed has been given in times past to the complaining cry. The fear of a possible instability of free institutions that may follow a change seemingly has outweighed the fear of a possible but temporary commercial instability. Longer Terms in Some States. There has been, however, in the states of the Union a tendency to lengthen the terms of their chief executives. In some of the states that which seems wise today would have been declared folly a half century ago. This is a state matter and not a national matter. In many of the states the election of a governor is now made coincident with the voting for the president of the United States. This has made a reduction in the number of elections and has helped the present recurring unsettled conditions. The talk of a term of six years for a president, however, is talk for talk's sake; at least this seems to be the opinion of those who have studied the subject recently and who have spoken upon it. It may be, of course, that the people generally will think differently if the matter ever shall be brought to a focus and they are asked to pass upon it. In Washington the politicians deal largely in futures. This condition seems to prevail in other parts of the country. The naming of a president is done so many thousands of times before the national conventions meet that one cannot keep the count. The question of the multitude that witnesses the cath taking of a president on the platform east of the capitol is: "Who will take the cath four years from today?" There are some thousands of individual members of the multitude who are quick to give answer, and each can back the given name with reasons that he believes convincing. It is a great game and it probably makes for safety. There never was a time since President Washington was inaugurated in the city of New York that the concerns of legislation, no matter how vital to the country, have been strong enough to keep politics and the matter of the presidential succession out of the people's minds. The American thrives on politics—proof enough, perhaps, so the politicians say, that it is a healthy food. Campaign Always Going On. A president is to be named next summer by one or the other of the two great national political conventions. In Washington they speak of the campaign for the nominations as having just started, but in truth it has been in progress ever since the election returns were in on the November night three years ago that saw the election of Warren G. Harding. The presidential campaign always is on—just a little more so in the present instance because of the change that has come in the occupancy of the White House. The campaign for the prizes of the two nominations will be liveller and much more rapid in its conducting than it has been, but the campaign nevertheless has been moving along ever since the final count of the votes of the people was made in November, 1920. If all the dreadful things happened to this republic that politicians just before the national conventions had predicted would happen to it if a man not of their choice were elected president, there would not be a shred of liberty left in the land. The people, however, seem to be fairly well satified that they have the same of freedom today that was the joyful possession of their forefathers. One Class of Veterans Overlooked. For some months everything seems to have been quiet in the veterans' bureau, which is the biggest single business department the government of the United States runs. This does not mean that the bureau has not been working. There are those ready to say that it has been working harder than ever, but that there has not been much noise made. It appears to be only right to say that complaints which formerly were made daily concerning the veterans' bureau, and not only made daily, but voicferously, seem to have diminished almost to the vanishing point. The hospitalization plans of the bureau all have been drawn, and most of them have been put into effect. The main trouble in the past was connected with hospitalization. Charges of all kinds were made touching on incompetence and neglect. They have become fewer and fewer as time has gone on. The hope seems to be that before long complaints which were the immediate sequence of the war will be heard no longer. If the veterans are satisfied the people necessarily will be. There is one matter, however, connected with care of the veterans which never yet has been given consideration. It seems curious that it has been overlooked, but the fact is that nothing has been done about it because no one has complained. It may be that the American Legion and other veteran organizations will take the subject up when some one is found who is willing to call it to their attention. The legislation of congress and all the endeavor of the Legionnalres, outside of beneficent efforts for the wounded, have been directed for the benefit of the young men of the service. The volunteers of advanced age have had nothing done for them, and there is no prospect apparently that anything is to be done for them in the future. The old fellows, seemingly, are too proud to speak for themselves. No one except the men who at an advanced age volunteered for the service and were accepted seems to know that the man who went into the World war as a volunteer after he had passe! the age of fifty is today without the benefit of government insurance, without hope of benefit from the bonus and without hope of a pension, no matter what may happen to him physically in his old age. Congressmen and other officials of the government did things in a hurry at the outbreak of the war. It was taken for granted that there would be no old men in the service except those who were in the regular army and navy and whose future was provided for under the retirement acts. All the legislation of congress and all the regulations of government were framed for the youngsters. Thousands of Them. There were thousands of Americans who, because of their previous military training or because they possessed certain useful qualifications, were taken into the service at an age well beyond that fixed as the draft limit. Most of these were salaried men who gave up fair returns for their work to receive the much smaller pay of an army 60-cer. Many of them willingly suffered financial loss to serve their country. These men went back to civil life at an age when saving for the future was a necessity. These men of advanced years took out government life insurance policies. Today most of them find that they are unable to convert their policies into life contracts because of the prohibitive cost. The young men find conversion and payments easy. The older men are compelled, or will be in two years' time, to give over their policies because they cannot afford to pay the premiums. The man who had the spirit to volunteer in middle life has no possible hope of government help if sickness overtakes him. The soldiers of the Spanish war automatically get pensions when they arrive at the age of sixty-two years. A World war veteran who went through the hell of the Argonne will get nothing on his sixty-second birthday or any other birthday. He can't keep up his insurance; if he is in fair health he cannot get compensation, and he never can get a pension unless some official of government sees the rank injustice of the whole thing and compels action. Under the present condition the young man gets everything and the old man gets nothing. Consolatory. Whiflins, who is forever putting his foot in it, found himself, at a social function, talking to a very meek little man whose face wore a most melancholy expression. Indeed, the little man looked so sad that the sympathy of Whiflins immediately went out to him. An instant later Whiflins exclaimed: "Mercy upon us, where on earth did that hideous old woman spring from?" The little man's face took on a sadder expression still. "She is my wife," he answered simply. Now Whiflins was appalled at his own stupidity, but his kindly heart came to the rescue. "Ah, well," he murmured, consolingly, "never mind, old man, you ought to see mine, that's all!"—Exchange. Only Borrows. Mrs. Flatbush—Who is that woman you just bowed to? "But she didn't return your bow." "No; she never returns anything."-Christian Advocate GERMANCABINET HAS RESIGNED REICHSTAG LEADERS BLAME FRENCH PREMIER FOR FALL OF GOVERNMENT POINCAIRE IS BLAMED PRESIDENT EBERT URGES CHANCELLOR STRESEMANN TO SUMMON NEW MINISTRY Berlin.—Dr. Gustav Stresemann and the members of his ministry have resigned from office. President Ebert has called upon the retiring chancellor to form a new cabinet. The Stresemann government retired from office with the relinquishment of passive resistance in the Ruhr and the Rhineland as the only active accomplishment to its credit. While criticism of its usefulness on this score would seem to be not entirely fair, in view of the hopelessly tangled legacy assumed by it as the successor of the Cuno ministry, the Stresemann coalition in its political composition was such as to preclude, in the long run, any hope of productiveness in the nature of financial and economic reforms on account of the conflicting currents which hampered its deliberations. With a theoretical Socialist in the ministry of finance and an Industrialist party man as minister of economics, one chronic point of friction was promptly established. It led to the retirement of Hans von Raumer, who held the latter post as he had apparently weared of carrying on a running debate with Dr. Hilfending on financial and economic dogmas. This was only one of the several minor paradoxes with which the Stresemann ministry was handicapped. The chancellor, whose well known optimism was praised as a useful asset when he assumed office, was unable to overcome the Sisyphean task of getting an economically and politically moribund Germany back on its feet. M. Poincare, the French premier, is blamed by the German government and the reichstag leaders for the collapse of Chancellor Stressmann's coalition government. If Poincare had given the slightest indication of a reciprocal attitude in response to Germany's abandonment of passive resistance, official and political quarters believe that Dr. Stressmann's position would have been measurably strengthened, inasmuch as it would have been spared the nationalist onslaught, which not only gained momentum through unconditional Ruhr surrender, but also from the swiftly collapsing internal situation. Both factors suffered to knock the prop from under the cabinet, whose advent as a "big coalition government" was acclaimed less than seven weeks ago as presaging internal reconstruction, as well as progress in the foreign situation. As the Socialist members of the reichstag rejected by a vote of 61 to 54 the compromise proposed by Chancellor Stresssemann on the mooted points of the eight-hour law and modification of the authorization law, its four members in the cabinet, Dr. Hilferding, minister of finance; Schmidt reconstruction; Sollman, interior, and Badbruch, justice, apprised the chancellor of their retirement, whereupon the chancellor convoked the remaining members of the cabinet for a decisive session. While a government without popular representation as now reflected in the reichstag would ordinarily be viewed as a return to an ultra-czaristic regime, there is enough sentiment abroad in the land to support such an innovation in view of the nation's present plight. Chicago Mystery Bandit Freed Chicago Mystery Bandit Freed Chicago.—Fred G. Thompson, who admitted being the husband of one woman while he lived as the wife of another man, was found not guilty of the murder of Richard Tesmer, wealthy realtor shot in a holdup, by a jury here. The defendant had been arrested by police on a tip that a man dressing repeatedly as a woman was seen going in and out of the apartment of Frank Carrick. This tip came shortly after the fatal shooting of Tesmer at the hands of a "smiling woman bandit." Farm Marketing Bodies Approved Washington.—President Coolidge has set in motion a plan designed to ameliorate agricultural depression. He designated Managing Director Meyer and Director Mondell, of the War Finance Corporation, to proceed into the Northwest immediately and assist in the formation of co-operative marketing associations, promotion of which the President believes will result in direct benefit. John F. Campion Hurled to Death Denver.—John F. Campion, 28, a leading figure in Denver's social and business life, was instantly killed when his automobile skidded and turned over, at the bridge over the Arkansas river near Snowden, Colo., nine miles south of Leadville. Huntley McDonald, and Henry Julen, who were riding with him, escaped death.

MINISTERS TO ENGLAND AND ITALY LEAVE UNDER PREVIOUS AGREEMENT AMBASSADORS RESIGN PRESIDENT COOLIDGE ACCEPTS RESIGNATIONS OF HARVEY AND CHILD Washington.—The resignations of Ambassadors Harvey at London and Child at Rome, submitted for private reasons and under agreements reached with the Harding administration, have been accepted, marking the first big change in the American diplomatic service since President Coolidge took office. Ambassador Harvey will quit his post about the first of the year. Ambassador Child, who either has left or is about to leave Rome for the United States, will not go back. None of the other American ambassadors or ministers, the State Department said in making the announcement, has any similar agreement limiting his term of service, so far as known. The only explanation of the two resignations given in official quarters was that in both cases the ambassadors a few months ago had reached agreements with President Harding as to the length of time they could continue at their posts. In both cases there have been intimations that the ambassadors were finding their positions unduly burdensome in a financial way. There was no official word available here as to successors President Coolidge might send to fill the posts. At the State Department it was not admitted that any steps had been taken to sound out the two governments as to suitability of possible appointees. Both ambassadors played important parts in the campaign which resulted in the election of President Harding, and since entering on their diplomatic duties they have been prominent figures in negotiations having to do with post-war developments. The outstanding incident of British American relations during the period of Ambassador Harvey's duties in London was the conclusion of the British debt negotiations. When the exchanges reached their final stage and Premier Baldwin, then chancellor, was in the United States with the British commission to work out details of an agreement, Mr. Harvey was called home to aid in bringing the refunding to a successful conclusion. At present questions regarding liquor smuggling and the status of ship stores of liquor in American waters are among subjects before the British imperial conference, now in session in London. The British government recently notified Secretary Hughes that his proposals for a treaty agreement to cover these subjects, while not entirely favorable from a foreign office viewpoint would be laid before the council representatives of the British self-governing colonies. Ambassador Child headed the American delegation sent to the first Lausanne conference for conclusion of peace between Turkey and the allies. While the United States was not at war with Turkey, it was felt necessary that American viewpoints should be fully presented during the treaty negotiations, even though the American delegates did not participate in any decisions of the conference. Mr. Child was the American spokesman in the discussions and also gave his aid toward peaceful solution of many of the difficult problems which repeatedly threatened to disrupt the conference. When the first Lausanne parleys failed, Mr. Child returned to Rome, not attending the second conference, at which the treaty was signed under which allied troops evacuated Constantinople. Bodies of Wreck Victims Found Casper, Wyo.—The mutilated bodies of four men, recovered from the wrecked smoking car of the Burlington train, wrecked at Cole creek, and the half-nude body of a woman picked up on the banks of the Platte river this afternoon, twenty miles below the scene of the disastrous wreck were identified here. The bodies recovered and identified were: Mrs. Minnie Owens, 40, Casper, Wyo. Fred Fargo, 24, member of I. W. W.; address unknown. W. S. Wilson, about 35, Denver, international organizer for Painters' Union. F. R. Parker, about 25, address unknown, member of local No. 341, Railway Maintenance Employees. Charles Browne, 40, Arizona, traveling agent for Collers' magazine and the Leslie-Judge Company. Gasoline Prices Higher This Winter Chicago.—Gasoline will cost more this winter and will be still higher in the spring, according to opinions expressed at the convention of the American Oil Men's Association. Supporting that belief, reasons advanced were by Feb. 1 production of oil will be 500,000 barrels a day lower than it is now; present surplus stocks will be wiped out by the close of 1924, unless there is a quick change in the situation; small independent producers will be out of business by winter if the depression in the oil industry continues. ```markdown ``` THE COLORADO STATESMAN ```markdown ``` the Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and gress; a faithful mirror their wants, their hopes, r best aspiration.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Club girls are making farm homes more attractive through participating in "Our Own Room" clubs under the direction of the United States Department of Agriculture and the state agricultural colleges. The girls are advised by the club leader as to what sort of improvements it would be wise to undertake, and then told how to go about making them. In the room shown in the picture, belonging to two sisters in Albemarle county, Va., the walls were first cleaned and tinted. Then the floor was carefully gone over. Nail holes and cracks were filled with putty, and then the floor was varnished and oiled. The fifteen-year-old girl who did the room over painted the woodwork ivory white, and also painted her little rocker, for which she made a cretonne seat and pad to match the window draperies.

MAKING CRISP POTATO CHIPS With Increased Commercial Manufacture Has Arisen Many Problems —Bulletin Explains. With the increase in the commercial manufacture of potato chips has arisen many problems, including the question of what varieties of potatoes are best adapted to this method of preparation. The comparative value of several varieties of potatoes was recently determined, therefore, by the bureau of plant industry of the United States Department of Agriculture, and a report of the findings printed as Department Bulletin 1055, Methods of Manufacturing Potato Chips, is now ready for distribution. The report shows that potatoes must be of proper maturity and starch content to make good crisp chips. It describes the kind of fat best suited to frying, the equipment, recipe, time and degree of temperature for cooking. It also shows the percentage of chips obtained from different varieties and their comparative value for market purposes. The information given in the bulletin can be used in making chips at home as well as commercially. The value of different varieties of potatoes for other methods of preparation is discussed. For example, a table showing the percentage of loss in peeling can be applied to the selection of potatoes for making mashed potatoes as well as chips. Copies of the bulletin may be had upon application to the department at Washington. BEEF CANNED BY HOUSEWIVES Meat of 150 Animals in Texas County Made Into Stews, Roasts, Soup Stock, Etc. In Tarrant county, Texas, says a report received by the United States Department of Agriculture, about 150 beef animals were canned by housewives during the year. The beef has been made up into stews, roasts, steaks, soup stock, and chill. Most of the people attending demonstrations by extension agents have given demonstrations to their neighbors and friends, and have thus spread the work. Make Halls Attractive.

The usual result of having one room in a house done over in this way by an ambitious girl is to stimulate the family to see what can be done to improve the rest of the house, particularly the living room and dining room.

SPANISH BEEFSTEAK IS GOOD Disadvantage of Driving Out Juices by Pounding Overcome by Addition of Flour. Pounding meat before cooking is an old-fashioned method of making it tender. While it has the advantage of breaking down the tough tissues, it has the disadvantage of driving out the juices and with them the flavor. A way of avoiding this loss is by pounding flour into the meat, says the United States Department of Agriculture. The flour catches and retains the juices. The department suggests the following method of making Spanish beefsteak: Cover two pounds of round steak, cut about one inch thick, with enough flour on each side to absorb the juices. Pound the steak until if it is quite thin. Season with salt and cayenne pepper, cover with a layer of sliced bacon or salt pork, roll it up and tie with string. Place in a baking dish of earthenware or glass, with a tight-fitting lid. One cupful of milk and half cupful of water are added, and the steak is baked for two hours. It should be basted occasionally. The oven should be medium hot, and more liquid should be added if the original amount cooks away. All.

This rule applies to turnips enough to serve six persons. The Kitchen Cabinet (©, 1923, Western Newspaper Union.) "It is easy to convince ignorance concerning new things. It is not easy to convince knowledge." CELERY COMBINATIONS Those who eat the greatest variety of vegetables in season will need no blood purifiers or tonics. Celery is especially good as a nerve tonic and is said to be good for those suffering with rheumatism. Celery is one of the vegetables which combines well with meats, fruits, as well as other vegetables. V Celery Soup.—Cut up three cupfuls of celery into small pieces and bruise with a potato masher. Cook in boiling water until tender, then rub as much of the pulp as possible through a sieve. Scald two and one-half cupfuls of milk, with a slice of onion, then remove the onion and add the milk to the celery pulp and liquor. Bind with three tablespoonfuls of butter, cooked with three tablespoonfuls of flour; season with salt and white pepper and add a beaten egg just before serving. Creamed Celery in Cheese Shell.—Prepare cooked celery by adding it to a cream sauce and a cupful of parboiled oysters. The oyster liquor may be used for part of the liquid in making the white sauce. Turn into a shell of pineapple or Edam cheese, cover with buttered crumbs and grated cheese and wrap the cheese in a brown paper. Bake until thoroughly hot. Remove the paper and serve on a folded napkin. Celery Croquettes.—Cook together one large potato and three-quarters of a cupful of chopped celery until tender. Remove the potato and mash it fine. Drain the celery, mix it with the potato; add two tablespoonfuls of chopped pecans, one-half tablespoonful of butter and turn out to cool. Form as usual into croquettes and fry in deep fat. Serve hot with any desired sauce. Stuffed Celery.—Take white, tender stalks of celery, wash and wipe dry and fill with a seasoned cheese mixture. One may use cream cheese, pimento cheese, or a mixture of two cheeses. Fill the stalks and cut them into half-inch lengths. Arrange on head lettuce and serve with French dressing. The stalks may be left four or five inches long and served in that manner, or serve them with a simple salad, one stalk on the side of the salad plate. "There are two ways of filling a place. One is to grow up to it, and the other is to swell up to it." FRUIT DISHES The banana is a fruit always found in the ordinary market. It is delicious served fresh or cooked, and often adds a touch of flavor to a dish, taking it out of the ordinary class of plain foods. Grapes Baked Bananas. —Take one-half cupful of sugar, one tablespoonful of starch, one-half teaspoonful of salt; mix well and stir this mixture into a cupful of boiling water and cook until free from any raw, starchy taste. Add two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, two tablespoonfuls of grape jelly and, when blended, pour this sauce in a buttered baking dish. Cover with a half-cupful of crumbs and bake until the buttered crumbs are brown and the bananas feel softened. Breakfast Fried Apples.—Core, after washing and wiping dry, four large apples; slice in quarter-inch slices, without removing the skins. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in a hot frying pan, put in the apples and cover immediately. Cook briskly for a few minutes, then turn over with a broad spatula. When the apples are soft and well cooked, sprinkle lightly with sugar and brown. Cinnamon may be added if liked. Serve hot with breakfast bacon or sausages. Piquante Cocktail.—Take one cupful of canned cherries, three tablespoonfuls of candied ginger, chopped, one-half cupful each of powdered sugar and orange juice, one-third of a cupful of grapefruit juice and one cupful of canned pears cut in cubes. Place the fruit in cocktail glasses and pour the juice over it. Sprinkle each glass with a half-tablespoonful of chopped ginger. Baked Apples With Bananas.—Take six large apples, one cupful of strained honey, one tablespoonful of butter, one and one-half bananas and six marshmallows. Wipe, core and peel the apples. Place them in a saucepan with the honey and butter. Simmer, turning often to cook until tender, but not long enough to lose their shape. Remove to a casserole and insert a quarter of a banana in each cavity made by the core. Place a marshmallow on top and bake in a quick oven long enough to puff and brown the marshmallows. Serve at once. Plum Conserve.—Take one basket of plums, four and one-half pounds of sugar, one pound of pecans, three pounds of raisins; four oranges, rind and pulp; three lemons, rind and pulp. Grind all through a meat grinder and cook until thick. Seal in jars. Nellie Maxwell (© 1923, Western Newspaper Union.) "A little house well filled, a little land well tilled, and a little wife well willed are great riches." HALF DOZEN DIVINE POINTS This is the season of the year when the oyster is beginning to be at its best. Oyster Chowder.—Dice in small cubes one-quarter pound of fat salt pork and cook until the cubes are crisp Oyster Chowder.—Dice in small cubes one-quarter pound of fat salt pork and cook until the cubes are crisp and brown. Slice one-half dozen medium-sized potatoes, three medium-sized onions. Cook the potatoes, onions, pork and fat in water to cover. When tender add a dozen oysters, and when their edges curl add a quart of scalding hot milk, season well with salt and pepper, add a half-dozen milk crackers which have been softened in boiling water and serve at once, plunging hot. Oyster Shortcake.—Make a soft, smooth biscuit dough, using milk and two tablespoonfuls of shortening. Bake in thinner layers than for regular fruit shortcake, split and butter as soon as baked. While the cake is baking scald the liquor which has been strained from a quart of oysters and in another saucepan heat a cupful of milk and half a cupful of cream. Just as the mixture begins to boil add a tablespoonful each of flour and butter which have been well blended, and cook until thick. Turn into the boiling oyster liquor, add butter, salt and pepper to season and finally the oysters. When they are plump remove them and cover the layers of shortcake with the creamed oysters. Place the layers together and pour the sauce over all. Serve at once. Plenty of butter is needed to make such a dish palatable. Oyster Toddle.—Dice one-quarter of a pound of salt pork and cook slowly until well dried out. Add a pint of sliced potatoes, an onion sliced; cover and cook in the fat for a few minutes, then add just enough water to cook them until tender. Pour in a pint of hot milk, thicken with a tablespoonful each of flour and butter well blended. Now add a pint of oysters in their liquor in which they have been cooked until the edges curl; serve with oyster crackers. This makes a fine supper dish on a cold night. A cupful of shredded codfish or more may be used in place of the oysters, making a most palatable dish. Oyster Loaf.—Cut a box-shape piece from a loaf of bread. Brush with melted butter and brown in the oven. Fill with fried oysters, chopped pickles, or chow chow, or with rich creamed oysters. Good citizenship does not come from teaching arithmetic or grammar. It comes from a sense of responsibility to the community. Loyalty must be taught in the home and the school in order to develop that loyalty that we call patriotism.—O'Shea. WHAT TO EAT Tuna fish is one of the most denatcately flavored of fish and may be used in various dishes and enjoyed by those who are not fond of fish. Ocean Chicken Pie. Take a large can of tuna and mix with it, after flaking, the following sauce: Two tablespoonfuls of bubbling hot Ocean Chicken Pie. Take a large can of tuna and mix with it, after flaking, the following sauce: Two tablespoonfuls of bubbling hot melted butter, add two tablespoonfuls of flour, and when well blended add one cupful of milk, one teaspoonful of salt, pepper and paprika to taste. Boll together two diced carrots, one medium-sized onion chopped, two small potatoes diced and one cupful of peas. Line a baking dish with plain pastry, fill with the vegetables in layers with the fish mixed with the white sauce. Cover with an upper crust with opening for the steam to escape and bake in a hot oven until the crust is brown. Cranberry and Raisin Pie—Cut one and one-half cupfuls of cranberries in halves, let the water run over them in a colander to wash out as many seeds as possible, add one cupful of prunes cooked, pitted and cut into bits, three-fourths of a cupful of sugar, and one tablespoonful of flour. Turn into a pastry-lined pie plate, dot with bits of butter, cover with strips of pastry lattice-fashion and bake for twenty minutes in a hot oven. Raisin Pie de Luxe.—Line a medium-sized pie plate with pastry. Cook together one cupful of brown sugar, two tablespoonfuls of water mixed with three tablespoonfuls of cornstarch, the rind of two lemons and one orange, and one and one-fourth cupfuls of water and two cupfuls of raisins. When the starch is cooked add the juice of two lemons and one orange, one cupful of walnut meats coarsely chopped. Pour into the pastry-lined pie plate, cover with top crust and bake for thirty minutes. Begues Mackerel.—Wipe the fish if salt, soak until freshened. Brush with olive oil, put into a dripping pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper to season and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

In the suits, coats are usually hip length and open at the front, fastening with buttons, but there are occasional side openings.

He will not be among those present much longer in the animal kingdom. But furriers assure us that all that glitters is not gold and all that looks like fox may be something else. Many little beasties contribute pelts that imitate, more or less closely, the long, soft, ( silky and immensely becoming fur or the fox, and among them are the plentiful hares. The familiar neckpiece pictured may be safely pronounced the most popular thing in furs. Its vogue extends through summer and winter and it provides the finishing touch for suits, street dresses, afternoon and dinner costumes. Fur lends a touch of luxury and richness dear to the heart of women and it harmonizes with everything. "Platinum fox" is the name given to light colors, dyed to match the suits or E dresses to be worn with them, and these scarfs are shown in gray, taupe, tan, sand, beige and colors of the same character. The "dyed-to-match" idea is quite sure to persist, but is only attractive in quiet or neutral colors. Short coats have again come into style. The new models now being shown are made in box-coat and blouse effects, with standing or choker collars and a single fastening at the waistline.
