LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Make Notable Contribution to Community Chest Campaign VOL. XXX COLORED CITIZENS SU Make Notable Contri- Chest Ca ATLANTA, Ga., November 27. (Special)—A notable feature of the Community Chest Campaign for $600,000 which was successfully conducted here last week was the active and generous co-operation of the colored people, who made 4,261 subscriptions to the fund, aggregating $33,084. This sum about equals the total amount apportioned in the Chest Budget to the six participating Negro organizations, indicating that in Atlanta, at least, the colored population is reaching the point where it can care for its own philanthropies and need no longer entail a burden on the community in this regard. More surprising than the total was the fact that the second largest individual subscription of the whole campaign was one of $3,500, made by Heman Perry, colored, in the name of The Service Company, an organization which affiliates eleven Negro business enterprises, with a total capitalization of $5,500,000. Officers and employees of this company subscribed a total of $8,050. E. R. Black, the campaign chairman, paid an appreciative tribute to the spirit shown by the colored people in this great community enterprise. SHORT CUTS LINCOLN SERVICE There are 8,383 colored women working in cigar and tobacco factories. In the printing business there are 199 colored female compositors, linotypers and typesetters. It would be a nice compliment to name one of our numerous women's clubs in honor of the Empress Zaoditou of Abyssinia. There is considerable speculation as to who is best fitted, by education and training, to take up the mantle of the late and lamented Mary B. Talbert. Oberlin was the first co-educational college in the world and the first in the United States to admit Negro students. Most of our race in America descended from the Negroes of the Sudan, that part of Africa lying south of and adjacent to the Sahara. The words "white male" were eliminated from the Ohio state constitution at the recent election. The klan opposed the amendment. For the first time in the history of Haiti, the months of July, August and September contributed materially to the total revenue income of the country. Contributing to the agricultural resources of the nation are 92 colored women dairy farm operators; 28 stock raisers, and 79,773 general farm operators. "The Negro does not look for, nor want social interracial co-operation; it is industrial, commercial and political co-operation that will give them constitutional rights and protection as men, women and citizens." (From the Advance Citizen.) State Hist & Nat Hl Society State House FOR THE ONLY RELIABLE COLORA NS FL SURPRISE ATLANTA Attribution to Community Campaign Immigration statistics count as Negro, or "African (black)"—"Aliens whose appearance indicates an admixture of Negro blood,"—"whether coming from Cuba, or other islands of the West Indies, North or South America, Europe or Africa." Excluding the 50,000,000 or more dark inhabitants of India, the Negro race numbers fully 150,000,000, or about one-quarter the population of the Mongolian race. The number in Brazil alone is not much less than the colored population of the United States. National Urban League Makes Quarterly Report National Urban League Makes Quarterly Report Board Holds Fall Meeting Executive Board Holds Fall Meeting The Fall meeting of the Executive Board of the National Urban League was held at the Russell Sage Foundation Building, 130 East 22nd Street, New York City on Wednesday afternoon last. The budget of $47,835 was adopted for the year 1924, and new work was outlined for which it is hoped that money will be raised to bring the total of the year's expenses to $69,800. Mr. Eugene Kinckle Jones, the Executive Secretary, reported in part the following accomplishments for the past four months: "A survey of the Negro population of Waterbury, Conn., has been completed and is in the hands of a committee of colored and white citizens which has planned to put in operation the recommendations for improving the conditions exposed. "The Department of Research and Investigation is now conducting a similar survey of the Negroes of Buffalo, N. Y., the findings of which will be made the basis for practical social work in that city. Through the efforts of the League, six Negro organizations in Atlanta, Georgia, were included in the Community Chest drive there which has just been completed. The local Atlanta Urban League is one of these organizations. The total amount to be received by the six agencies is $37,950." Graham R. Taylor of the Commonwealth Fund, formerly director of the Chicago Race Relations Commission, and Miss Dorothy Straus, New York lawyer, were elected to the Board. BETTER FILMS FOR COLORED CHILDREN Atlanta, Ga., November, (Special)—The Atlanta Better Films Committee, which for some time has been putting on at leading theaters special educational films for white children, recently extended this service to colored children, showing the same films in one of the Negro theaters. The committee reports that the experiment has been quite successful, the audiences being large and appreciative. The colored women's clubs of the city are co-operating by providing chaperonage for the children. The Better Films Committee is made up of Atlanta women prominent in club and social life and is headed by the president of the Woman's Club. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1923. P. E. TUSKEGEE, Ala., Nov. 15. Over 2,000 pilgrims made their way to the tomb of Booker T. Washington on the eighth anniversary of his death and covered his tomb with flowers. From 4:30 in the morning all through the day those who loved the great educator, made their way silently to the spot where his dust lies resting. Railroad Settles in $10,000 Damage Suit Atlantic City, Nov. 23.—Dr. and Mrs. Edward B. Terry of this city received substantial checks last week in payment as a compromise settlement of their $10,000 damage suit filed against the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, on charges of an illegal application of the "Jim Crow" law to them as interstate passengers on Aug. 18, 1922. En route from Hinton, W. Va., to Atlantic City, N. J., via Washington, on a through train of the C. & O., Dr. and Mrs. Terry, not being able to secure Pullman accommodations, in view of the fact that they were interstate passengers, chose to ride in the white coach rather than in the boarded off end of the baggage car provided for Race passengers. All went well until they reached Charlottesville, Va., where the conductor ordered them to vacate their seats and go into the "James Raven." Dr. Terry refused on the ground that he and his wife were interstate passengers. The conductor thereupon insisted that the Terrys move, saying that the car in which they were riding was reserved for white people on leaving Charlottesville. The doctor refused. Then a special officer of the C. & O. Ry. Company boarded the train, arrested Dr. and Mrs. Terry and ar- raigned them in the police court for violating the "Jim Crow" law of Virginia. Before the police justice Dr. Terry so vehemently defended his claim to exemption from the local application of the statute that the court allowed him to deposit nominal bail for himself and wife and leave for home with the understanding that he would engage counsel and lay before the court judicial authority supporting his contention. Subsequently, however, the court rejected the authorities submitted by counsel for the Terrys, deciding the case against them. Attorney James C. Waters, Jr., of Washington, D. C., representing the Terrys, feeling that his clients would get a better hearing before the D. C. courts than before those of the state of Woodrow Wilson, filed suit. The company showed fight at first, but finally backed down, offering a substantial compromise. The receiving of the checks is a great moral victory for Dr. and Mrs. Terry and constitutes a warning to other roads to proceed cautiously in their application of the nefarious "Jim Crow" laws to interstate riders. Counsellor Waters, who is also secretary of the Howard University law school, is also being congratulated on his service to the Race through such an adriot handling of a difficult case. TRANSFERRING PUPILS FROM MIXED SCHOOLS Child Victim of Lily White Plans Living in Very Doors Of Number 36 Are Forced to Walk Across Town To Overcrowded School Number 42 WRIT of mandamus to compel the Indianapolis Board of School Commissioners to cancel an oder issued last August authorizing the Superintendents of schools to conduct School No. 36, Twenty-eighth street and Capitol avenue, exclusively for white pupils and directing. Colored children in attendance there to attend School No. 42, 1002 West 25th street, was asked in a suit filed in Superior Court, Room 3, before Judge Sidney S. Miller, by Archie Greathouse, Isaac Henderson, James Hamlin and Thomas Baldwin, Colored school patrons of the community. This petition sets out that the children transferred are in an admitted mixed school district which has existed for the past thirty years, and are entitled to remain within the district until a separate school may be formed in-said district and in reasonable distance from homes of the realtors. 100,000 Came North This Year New York, Nov. 21.—Surveying the present migratory movement of Negroes to the north, the National Industrial Conference board recently is sued a statement that about 100,000 Negroes had left their homes in the South. The board found that the normal annual movement was 10,000. During 1916 and 1917, however, it was said "whole communities and even church congregations, headed by their pastors moved north." Roland Hayes Makes Big Hit in Boston Orchestra Recital Roland Hayes, tenor, is the first Negro to appear in recital with the Bos It is contended that the order transferring the children exceeded its authority, that the children are deprived of the advantages of sewing and cooking lessons provided in school No. 36 from which they were removed. And are deprived of all instruction in the seventh and eighth grades taught in School No. 36 and not taught in School No. 42. It further states the location of School No. 42 is without this school district and in part of another school district and in order for the Realtor's children to reach school No. 42, are obliged to walk more than a mile which is unreasonable and deprives them of equal school advantages given white children in the district. That an additional risk is forced upon the children by their having to cross an interurban line and frequent car and automobile traffic over and along Northwestern avenue, therefore, unnecessarily endangering their lives and their health, compelling children of first school age to walk through sleet rain, snow and slush. The suit alleges that the only notice they had of the action was the receipt of a post card in August and the refusal of authorities at School No. 36 to receive their children at the opening of school. R. L. Bailey and W. E. Henderson are attorneys for the citizens. The present court action is the outgrowth of certain so-called civic organizations situated in the North end of the city, whose members are seeking to establish a residential dead-line at 28th Street over which no person of Color will be permitted to acquire property. School No. 36 is located in this so-called exclusive district, and the transferring of Colored pupils is the second in six months time that the authorities have bowed to their plans of establishing Jim Crow places in that section of the city. These same citizens backed the rerouting of a Northwestern avenue car over 21st Street to Illinois to keep it from passing through a section in which colored people live.—Indianapolis Recorder. NO. 7. 100,000 Came North This Year New York, Nov. 21.—Surveying the present migratory movement of Negroes to the north, the National Industrial Conference board recently issued a statement that about 100,000 Negroes had left their homes in the South.

Roland Hayes Makes Big Hit in Boston Orchestra Recital Roland Hayes Makes Big Hit in Boston Orchestra Recital Roland Hayes, tenor, is the first Negro to appear in recital with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. His first appearance was in Sanders Hall, Cambridge, on Thursday night, November 15, and on Friday night, the 16th, he sang in Symphony Hall, Boston. The Evening Transcript said that Hayes' singing overshadowed the playing of the orchestra; that he was recalled six times in Cambridge and almost as many times in Boston; that Hayes is a singer with a mind and imagination as well as a voice; that he proved himself the musician, the artist, whose means and medium is song. Monster Watermelons Produced By Negro Denton, Texas, Nov. 21.—Forced to a study of the methods of Luther Burbank by the ravages of the boll weevil, John D. Cater, of Garza, Denton county, has set about to produce watermelons that are said to be able to make the dreams of the most ardent watermelon epicure come true. By a variety of crosses, Carter has produced a melon that weighs 123 pounds, and declares that in a few years 100-pound melons will be common on the market. Mr. Carter crossed three melons—one for size, one for firmness of texture, and one for thinness of rind. From four and a half acres this year Carter marketed about $13,000 worth of melons, all at wholesale prices. John Mitchell Gets A New Trial John Mitchell Gets A New Trial Richmond, Va., Nov. 22—John Mitchell, Jr., president of the Mechanics' Savings Bank, who was sentenced in Hustings Court on May 15th, to serve three years in the penitentiary for making false entries in the books of the Mechanics' Savings Bank, was granted an rehearing by the Supreme Court of Appeals today. The case will come up for trial during the month of January. Within the past week the committees representing the depositors in the Mechanics' Savings Bank, which is now in the hands of the receivers, have presented a plan for its reopening, which it is expected will be perfected early next week, and presented to Judge Moncure with a request for the vacating of the receivership and the reopening of the institution. Under the plan the depositors will waive 50 per cent of the deposits and receive in cash 20 per cent of the remainder.

New Type, Latest Style Faces FOREIGN The Stresemann government resigned at a result of its defeat in the German reichstag on a vote of confidence. Premier Stanley Baldwin appears to be losing his ground in his political fight for a protective tariff. On the other hand, London newspapers indicated that former Premier David Lloyd George is regaining his old-time popularity with the press and public. Recent heavy rains have done enormous damage to crops in many parts of the Philippines. Rice and sugar cane losses were especially heavy. Cane milling was badly delayed. Thousands of acres of rice was flooded and in some cases washed entirely out. Gen. Angel Flores, former governor of Sinaloa state, announces that he will seek the presidency of Mexico without issuing a platform. "Although there may be the best intentions to comply with platform promises, many times circumstances prevent fulfillment," the announcement says. Many persons were drowned in the Cagayan valley, in Cagayan province, in northern Luzon, when a typhoon swept sections of the Philippine islands last week, according to advises received by constabulary authorities at Manila, following restoration of communication to the district. With regard to reports of the impending conclusion of an Anglo-American loan to Germany, the Boersen-Courier says that negotiations are in progress between a well-known Berlin bank and a group of American, British and Dutch financiers for a credit to Germany of 1,400,000,000 gold marks. The time limit fixed by the Belgian government in which Germany must pay 1,250,000 francs as indemnity for the assassination of Lieutenant Graff in the neighborhood of Duesseldorf, expired and nothing was heard from Berlin beyond an offer to submit the question to The Hague tribunal for arbitration. This proposal already has been declined by Belgium. At the vatican there is complete silence concerning the names of the new cardinals Pope Plus may appoint at the secret consistory to be held in Rome Dec. 20. Even the nationality of those who may receive the red hat has not been made known. If any new American cardinals are to be appointed, Archbishop Hayes of New York and Archbishop Mundelein of Chicago are mentioned as the prelates most likely to be accorded the honor. GENERAL Increases in wages affecting approximately 5,500 railroad telegraphers and station agents and aggregating approximately $364,482, were awarded in a decision announced in Chicago by the United States railroad labor board. A new trans-atlantic speed record was set by the American liner Leviathan, which arrived a few days ago from Southampton and Cherbourg. The Leviathan made the 3,078 miles from Cherbourg in five days, seven hours and twenty minutes, beating the Mauretania's record by thirteen minutes. The rum schooner Tomako, captured by coast guards after an exciting chase six miles off Seabright, N. J., while flying the British flag, was selzed with the knowledge that her registry papers were faulty and that she positively had been identified with the landing of liquor on American shores, government agents announced in New York. Following a period of twelve years of inactivity, owners of large cattle ranges in the northern part of Chihuahua are returning to their properties and indications point to a revival of the cattle industry in Mexico. It is pointed out that range conditions are exceptionally good, and conditions are peaceful. More than 100,000 head of cattle are on different ranches in the Juarez consular district. An alert Yale eleven, taking advantage of Harvard's mistakes on a muddy field, defeated the Crimson in Harvard stadium at Cambridge, 13 to 0, capturing for the Blue its first Big Three championship since 1916, and incidentally scoring Yale's first touchdown on Harvard's home gridiron in sixteen years. Two miners are dead and eight others badly burned are in a West Frankfort, Ill., hospital, but all others who were endangered by an explosion in the northwestern part of the Chicago, Wilmington and Franklin Coal Company's mine, No. 1, near West Frankfort, one of the largest, if not the largest mine in the world were rescued. Hampshire sheep raised by Mrs. Minnie Miller of Thousand Springs farm, Wendell, Idaho, captured first second and third places in virtually all sheep classes of that breed, judged at the American Royal Livestock show at Kansas City, Mo. In the ram-lamb class, Mrs. Miller won the first four prizes. Under the rules however, she could take only three prizes and the fourth went to an entry from the Kansas State Agricultural College. After deliberating five hours, a jury at Dauphin, Man, returned a verdict of not guilty against Peter Sawicki, 12 years old, and another verdict of guilty of manslaughter, with a strong recommendation for mercy, against his mother, Mrs. Paul Sawicki. They were tried jointly for the slaying of Mrs. Anna Sunka on Sept. 10. A check of the 100 employees of the Veda Sugar refinery, eight miles from New Iberia, La., showed seven men were killed and fourteen injured in an explosion of a boiler. AN EPITOME OF LATE LIVE NEWS 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 FEARS OF MANKIND WESTERN Lincoln Hutchinson of Berkeley, Calif., has been appointed by Secretary Hoover to take charge of the investigation recently authorized by the Department of Commerce into the transportation difficulties confronting shippers of perishable products in the West. Jewish synagogues of Los Angeles have banded together to stop alleged trafficking in "sacramental wines" by canceling their permits to purchase and hold wine for sacramental purposes and by instructing their rabbis to "sign no wine permits" or "delegate any one else to sign permits." J. C. Potter was killed and A. F. Richardson of Seal Beach and A. L. Barnes of Compton were seriously injured in an automobile crash near the state hospital at Norwalk, California, when the automobile in which the three men were riding and a stage collided, according to brief reports received in Los Angeles. The Japanese freighter, Shinkoku, went ashore near Montague island, Prince William sound, Alaska, and was expected to be a total loss, according to a dispatch received in Seattle from Cordova, Alaska. The dispatch said nothing of the fate of more than thirty men who were aboard the Shinkoku. The body of William G. Metz, an ex-service man and a former patient at Fitzsimons hospital, Denver, was found in a closed motor car parked before a newspaper office on one of the busiest streets of Tucson, Ariz. While police admit that Metz may have committed suicide, they declare that numerous circumstances support their theory that the man was murdered. Wyoming is the first state to organize completely for the campaign to raise funds to erect a suitable memorial to Warren G. Harding. The Harding Memorial Association expects to raise $3,000,000 with which to erect a suitable mausoleum, take over the Harding home in Marion, and endow the Harding chair of diplomacy and functions of government, which was one of his most cherished plans. WASHINGTON Charges of barbarous cruelty, practiced upon helpless Koreans by order of Japanese officials during the recent earthquake disaster in Japan have been filed with the State Department by Dr. Floyd W. Tomkins, president of the Friends of Korea in America. Americans were among the eyewitnesses when 250 Koreans, bound hand and foot, were covered with oil and burned alive, according to the report filed with Secretary Hughes. Retailers who represent themselves as selling army-navy surplus supplies from the United States government, when in fact they are not so doing, will encounter opposition from the Federal Trade Commission. An order in the matter was issued by the commission against H. Mallender, an operator of stores in Indiana, West Virginia and Ohio, under the names of Army-Navy stores and Army Goods stores, requiring him to desist. President Coolidge has ordered Attorney General Daugherty to make a thorough investigation of the legal aspects of the sentencing of Comptroller Charles Craig of New York to serve sixty days in a New Jersey jail for contempt of Judge Julius Mayer, it was announced officially at the White House a few days ago. Informed that the administration decision to abandon consolidation of the railroads into a few great systems is final and conclusive, the United States Chamber of Commerce served notice that Congress would be asked to nullify such parts of the federal anti-trust laws which now make large amalgamations of capital illegal and schedule to dissolution. Needless continuation of bread-saving habits formed in wartime, Department of Agriculture officials declared in a statement issued in Washington, is limiting American wheat consumption to the disadvantage of both producer and consumer. A return to prewar food habits in the use of wheat by the public and the feeding of low-grade wheat to livestock, department experts assert, would help greatly toward solving the wheat problem. A counter claim seeking recovery of nearly $2,000,000 is the government's answer to Swift and Co.'s allegation that the government owes it about $1,500,000 on a wartime contract for army bacon. A brief prepared by the Department of Justice says the existence of such a contract has not been proved and accuses the company of fraud, violation of its food administration license by taking greater profits than permitted and other offenses. ```markdown ``` Alteration SALE Very Special Values offered during the remodeling of our California Street windows An Unusual Sale of Hosiery More than 500 pairs of smart wool stockings in all serviceable grades and a full assortment of the striking new styles; in three price-groups: More than 500 pairs from our regular stock of comfortable, long-wearing and incomparably good-looking shoes and oxfords for Men $6 85 & $9 85 at big reductions ```markdown ``` 田 A An Unusual More than 500 all serviceable the striking m $195 Low Prices and Oxfords More than 500 pairs from stock of comfortable, low incomparably good-look oxfords for Men at big reductions $68 Broadhurst B-young PUBLIC TRUSTEE'S SALE No. 2364 Whereas, J.

The Spirit of Christmas Widow Stately Recognizes the Voice of Freddie Freedman, Mischief Maker Friend Wife Satisfied There is No Party of the Third Part HE Widow Stately's home lay in a nook in the foothills Widow Stately Recognizes the Voice of Freddie Freedman, Mischief Maker Friend Wife Satisfied There is No Party of the Third Part sides of her little farm, and in the even- nings, before time for sunset on the plains below, he faded out in yellow splendor over stark white peaks that guarded the widow's valley from the west. The Widow Stately had been a widow even when she came into that little nook in the foothills with her son Frank, a winsome lad of fourteen or thereabouts. Here they had "dug in" with their little herd of heifers, and Frank had plowed the valley field for oats and potatoes, and, with the help of a carpenter, they had built the house of spruce logs where a mountain stream gurgled lullabies in the still nights. At the end of the six years they were on their feet. The fields had extended; the herd had grown; the cream cans went down to town three times a week; there was new furniture in the log house and a lilt of song again in the widow's heart. But one new pang was hers; mother love could not quite stifle the pang when her handsome Frank rode out with the yellow-haired Allison girl from south of the ridge. At the end of that same six years came the war. And now the Widow stately is doubly a widow, and the Allison girl is old before her time. Down the valley a mile or more live the Freedmans. And Freddie Freedman, at fourteen, unhappily runs to mischief, as the sparks fly upward. Was it not Freddie who left the Stately gates open at Halloween? Was it not Freddie who unbolted the reach in the widow's wagon? Who but Freddie transposed the front and rear wheels of her buckboard? Who but Freddie shot the wild ducks which she was taming, and drank cream in her dairy when she had gone to town? And tonight, as a blanket of Christmas snow carpets the foothills and the valley, the widow returns from town with her melancholy parcels for Christmas cheer. Tonight the fire will burn on her hearth, and strange visions will wax and wane in the glow of embers; visions of the First Frank and the Second Frank, and a nightmare of horror B. B. B.

But as she drives up by the log house she sees a sturdy young figure at work in the woodshed, and—can she be dreaming?—the spruce logs at the end of the house have been cut and piled for the winter's burning. And the sturdy young figure comes out and takes her horses by the head. "Let me put your team away while you go in and warm yourself, Mrs. Stately," said a voice. "See, I have started a fire for you." So like Frank it seemed that she dared not break the spell. Without a word, she sank in the rocker by the fire. But he was so long in coming that at length she went to the door. The sturdy figure was just disappearing down the road in the gray cloud of night. "Who are you? Who are you?" she called after him. "I am the Spirit of Christmas," he answered. And then she knew his voice. "You're not!" she laughed. "You're Freddie Freedman!" Friend Husband had had a busy day at the office and Friend Wife had moped all day at home. It seemed to Friend Wife that her husband took his office duties altogether too complacently. For a time after they were married he always was home before six; now he was fre- quently late. And he didn't seem properly distressed over it. That was what worried her most. So Friend Wife learned to mope a little, and to complain a little, and to wonder a good deal. And the more she moped and complained the less did Friend Husband hurry from the office. The office had become his retreat. Moreover, there was the Party of the Third Part. Friend Wife had never seen the Party of the Third Part, but she could not doubt her existence. For a year back her husband had forgotten to kiss her when he went to the office, and when he came home. And on those rare nights when he stayed at home he read the newspaper, and yawned, and found the time heavy on his hands. So you see there must be a Party of the Third Part. This fear gripped the little woman so deeply that one night she determined she would know the worst. Her husband had not come home to dinner; he had telephoned that he was very busy in the office. He would just slip out and have a bite. And he would likely be late—don't sit up . . . She would know the truth! So she put on a long cloak, and a vell affair that she could draw over B. C. 1900 here at the End Sat an Oldish Man. It Was Her Husband! her face, and she went straight to his office in time to intercept him before he left for his appointment. A light shone through the frosted doors, but all inside was silent as the tomb. "He has gone already!" she exclaimed to herself. Then she gently tried the door. It opened to her hand. Her eyes swept a vista of deserted desks. How forlorn and irksome they looked! But everyone was gone. No! There at the end sat an oldish man. It was her husband! It had never struck her before that her husband was beginning to be an oldish man. He had not heard her. He was intent over a statement with long columns of figures, and he was making calculations on a pad of paper before him. From where she stood she could see the gray tinge about his temples, and the thinning hair on the top of his head. His brow was set in deep furrows. And suddenly Friend Wife found herself swallowing desperately at something in her throat. Suddenly she knew that there was no Party of the Third Part, and never had been a Party of the Third Part, and that she was a foolish, wicked woman. She drew the door gently shut. In the basement of the building was a restaurant, where also was a waiter who, for a consideration, would carry a meal to her husband's office. Quickly she gave the order, for two; it was to be a modest meal, not too expensive, but healthful, and garnished with love. The waiter carried it in and set it down on the little correspondence table beside Friend Husband's desk. And a beautiful woman sat down beside it, and held out her hands to the troubled man with the long column of figures, and smiled. "Who are you? Who are you?" he demanded. "I am the Spirit of Christmas," she said. "You are more than that!" he cried. "You are my wife . . . my . . . my love!" (© 1923. Western Newspaper Union.)

It was nearly twelve o'clock on Christmas Eve and the magic hour that would usher in the Christmas genius was about to strike, but with Mrs. Fogarty it was never too late to mend, and a long stocking, with a needle sticking in the last stitch of the last hole, lay in her lap as she slept in her chair. No sound of bells awakened her, and when she opened her eyes upon the gifts that had" replaced the emptiness of the stocking and the darning ball at its heel she could only account for the kindness of her unknown friend by ejaculating, "Well, well, Santa Claus himself must have been here, but who does he think I am. I wonder?"—C. G. Hazard. (@ 1923. Western Newspaper Union.) LATE NEWS From All Over COLORADO LATE NEWS From All Over COLORADO Denver.—There are 1,160 stockholder members in the Colorado Dairymen's Co-Operative Association, which has been organized during the last year, at an expenditure of approximately $10,000, it was reported at the annual meeting of the association, by Stewart Wallace, secretary of the organization at Ft. Lupton, Colo. Denver.—Three persons were injured and sixty others, all passengers on the Denver-bound Mofat road passenger train, narrowly escaped injuries or death a few days ago when the smoker and combination diner and observation car of the train were derailed one mile above Plainview. A broken rail caused the accident, it is said. Eaton.—Mrs. Cora Clemmons Neale of Eaton did not die of leprosy as was first feared, according to a report rendered by Dr. W. C. Mitchell, bacteriologist of the state board of health, to Tracy P. Love, secretary of the board. According to Dr. Mitchell there were no evidences of leprosy, and the woman had died of a gangrenous infection. Colorado Springs.—A coroner's jury exonerated Dorothy Chambers, society girl and daughter of Attorney R. L. Chambers, of any blame in the death here of Herbert Steffa, 12-year-old crippled newsboy. Miss Chambers backed her car from the curb near the federal building and the boy was behind it at the time. He was crushed under the heavy machine. Boulder.—The county commissioners have appropriated $12,000 to secure the completion of a proposed glacier road into the Rainbow lake territory. The United States forestry service two years ago appropriated $45,000 for the road. Of this amount $6,000 was spent in surveys. The road is to begin at Glacier lake, and will follow a southwest course through the watershed of the city of Boulder into the Rainbow Lake country. Pueblo.—The rail mill at the Minnequa steel works, closed since July, will be opened again on Dec. 17. Opening of the mill will mean operation of another blast furnace, increased activity in the open hearth department and doubling of the present output of the coke plant. Between 500 and 700 men will be put to work on single shift. A double shift will probably be put on shortly after Christmas, according to Superintendent F. E. Parks. Denver.—State institutions have increased expenditures from $2,907,227.21 in 1911 to $20,462,876.27 in 1922, according to a report issued a few days ago by State Auditor Arthur M. Stong and State Budget and Efficiency Commissioner Harry Casaday. The report, the two men declare, is one of the most important regarding state expenditures which has been compiled for a number of years. The amounts spent by these institutions include money realized by mill levy revenue, legislative appropriation and miscellaneous means. Denver.—Thirty-two billion cubic feet of gas—enough to supply all Denver's needs for the next seventeen years—are lying in the gas and oil structures north of Fort Collins, Carroll H. Wegenhann, chief geologist for the Midwest Refining Company, told Denver engineers at a recent luncheon here. To drill wells to free this gas and to pipe it to Denver will cost $5,000,000, Mr. Wegenmann estimated, this sum would include the drilling of twenty-five wells on the Wellington structure and eighteen wells on the Fort Collins structure. Wellington.—Test wells on the Wellington dome, which has already produced the $2,000,000 cubic foot gas well, and on the Fort Collins dome, three miles northeast of Fort Collins, will be started within the next few month by the Union Oil Co. Fort Morgan.—With a production of corn estimated at 1, $72,000 bushels by W. W. Putnam of the Denver office of the department of agriculture, and with record production of other crops, Morgan county's farm income this year will total more than $10,000,000. Pinto beans are bringing big returns in the county this year—in some instances the crop for the year is paying for the land. Boulder.—Two hundred and twenty-five of the 336 freshman co-eds at the University of Colorado have some foot defects; 225 have poor posture; 46 have flat feet; 41 have diseased tonsils; 35 are anemic; 33 have poor eyesight; 17 have erratic heart action; 13 have nose troubles and 9 have weak or diseased lungs, according to a report published by Miss Clare Small, director of physical education for women at the university. Denver.—El Paso county is in excellent financial condition, according to a report completed here by Joseph Wood, state public examiner, and submitted to State Auditor Arthur M. Stong. The report, which covers the period between Jan. 1, 1922, and Dec. 31, 1922, says that on Jan. 1, 1922, there was in the county treasury a balance of $152,851.28, which was augmented by receipts of $1,586,914.87, making a total of $2,739,766.10. Disbursements totaled $2,560,473.92, leaving a balance on Dec. 31, 1922, of $179,292.18. Another The New As You k arations have always attained heights o Preparations.

Too much education enlightenment cannot penetrate our ennism is and seek to live up to its posi we can the more intelligently fight for the responsibilities such rights entail. OF THE many plans advanced by scholars and students of civics for an improved standard of national life in America the most comprehensive one has been brought forth by the National Civic Federation, which plans to sponsor an instructive campaign along current economic and political lines. The idea is distinctive American and should be accorded general support from all sides. Its activities being purely non-partisan there is every reason why it should occupy a conspicuous place in our scheme of government. The contention that there is a lack of widespread knowledge regarding the underlying principles of representative government and the failure of citizens generally to fulfill their obligations to participate in practical politics, is all too apparent to admit of argument. The work of the federation will be conducted along lines calculated to arouse general interest in paramount public questions and not to attempt to influence public opinion in favor of any single course. There is something decidedly Rooseveltian in the suggestion. Carried out to the limits of its possibilities it can but lead to that sterling singleness of Americanism so often and forecibly preached by the lamented president. That the federation has a herculean task before it goes without saying. It must be accepted by all kinds and races of people and the idea permitted to filter through all hearts and minds, else it is doomed to dismal failure. Among the questions to be discussed will be the gains, if any, for purity and cleanliness in politics through regulation of the primaries, publicity of campaign contributions and the civil service merit system. The program is interesting and its carrying out well worth a careful watching. Our group cannot escape its share of responsibility nor safely ignore the offered opportunity of a more liberal education for the masses. We need to study the science of government more and gain a more intimate knowledge of men and measures before entering the voting booth. Sentiment and blind devotion are good things in some particulars, but not always safe guides in a political campaign. Just now our political education comes through about six weeks of button-holing, distribution of cigars and a few attempts at frenzied oratory. It cannot be presumed that a careful survey of public questions of major importance can be made in such a limited session, nor is it intended that it should be. There may be many reasons for us to support certain men and measures this year and just as many reasons why we should not support the same men and measures next year. There may be reasons for racial solidarity at one election and then sufficient reasons for a divided allegiance at another. As a group the enjoyment of satisfaction living conditions, the comforts of home life with a sane consideration of general health conditions, should be the strongest appeal made for our support. All national life radiates from the home and no man can lay claim to Negro support merely because of any special favor or party label. We are now holding a new place in governmental responsibility. A half million or more Negro citizens from the southland will be eligible to vote at the next general election whom the activities to the national civic federation could not reach by them even were its machinery in full working force by them. We can, however, start a process of education ourselves that can give to them much light, and this should be done without stint or fear. Such an important task cannot be left to practical, scheming politicians but must be undertaken by various organizations having the better interest of the Negro at heart. Too much education cannot invade our ranks; too much enlightenment cannot penetrate our environs. We must learn what Americanism is and seek to live up to its possibilities. Then as an educated mass we can the more intelligently fight for our rights and be the better fitted for the responsibilities such rights entail. THE CHRISTMAS MONTH NG and then Christmas! The stretch days is a short one. The transition from going from one close connecting city in the chain and the spirit of November member, commonly known as Christmas and no festival occasion of our modern ration as does Christmas. The mercha- the home and club all take on a ne THANKSGIVING and then Christmas! The stretch between these two major holidays is a short one. The transition from the one into the other is like going from one close connecting city to another. There is no break in the chain and the spirit of November is intensified by the advent of December, commonly known as Christmas month. No season of the year and no festival occasion of our modern civilization calls for so much preparation as does Christmas. The merchant and banker, the school and church, the home and club all take on a new air and seek to unlock the vast wealth of beauty, only possible of display during the holiday season. It is also the gift season and shoppers crowd the stores here, there and everywhere in eager quest of something that may gladden the hearts of loved ones and cement more completely the ties of friendship. In America in recent years a degree of sanity has staken possession of Christmas shoppers. DO YOUR SHOPPING EARLY, as a slogan, has fallen upon fertile ground. And while there are some who will still hold off until a week before Christmas to procure their gifts and remembrances to relatives and friends, still the large number readily adopt the more sensible and humanized method of early shopping. We may doubtless be pardoned if we express an unusual pride in Denver at this season of the year. No city can boast of more beautiful nor complete stores; and no where can there be found more uniform courtesy and an eagerness to satisfy the purchasing public. We point with pride to this condition and look upon it as one of our most valuable civic assets. Moreover, as the bright autumn days gradually fade from the calendar, and the holiday season approaches the season of merriment looms large. It is the time when a short vacation period is declared in school and college. Home is brightened by the family gathering of those of the younger set who have been away for a short period. Christmas is the most many-sided of all our festival occasions. It comes nearer being the universal season of joy than any other known to history. The happiness of yuletide as found in the city or countryside differs only in degree as to environment. Each takes a livelier joy in life, in that thought for the well being of others is the first consideration of all. There are some things affecting our standard of living today that have become so modernized as to lose their original flavor. Not so with Christmas, however. In fact, our constant aim is to keep in touch with the old customs and in this it is safe to predict that Christmas carols will be sung more generally throughout the world this year than ever before. The lighted candle will give its glow from countless windows and the spirit of Christmas will illumine countless souls. Truely, then, December, the month of Christmas, is a remarkable one. So soon we must commence counting our remaining shopping days; soon we must contemplate the extent of our bounty and remembrances. What will best suit friend or relative; what will evidence an enduring friendship or an abiding love. At the risk of trespassing on the prerogatives of its readers the COLORADO STATESMAN suggest, if you would know the Christmas season in all its beauty and sublimity, if you would come in closer touch with its ethereal qualities and influence, visit at an early date Denver's many attractive stores. Go to art gallery and music hall, stroll through the gold tinselled aisle of our department stores, and note the incomparable exidences of man's creative genius. And this is not all. We must not look to the month of December for its material offerings alone. Let us not forget the significant events of the month. As we are now, thus early in preparation for the merriment of Christmas and looking forward to the event with eager, leaping hearts, as we count Christmas morn, when in song and sacrifice, in cathedral or around the home altar, we rejoice and are exceedingly glad, is it not possible that about this same time two thousand years ago an expectant people were making feverish efforts at preparation and three wise men gathered from afar and startled the world by following a bright star until it settled over a manger in the little town of B Bethlehem. Business and Finance Business and Finance Author of Simm's Blue Book, Etc. (Pryce Service Bureau) TO SELECT A BUSINESS LOCA- TION To succeed in business requires first of all a knowledge of the business that one engages in, honesty, strict attention to business at all times, promptness in meeting obligations and systematic advertising To acquire a knowledge of the business is of the great A. B. est importance. If you have no working knowledge of the business to start with, you will not be able to meet intelligently the simple requirements that must be done in connection with all businesses from the moment you invite the public to trade with you. If you are not informed how to meet prospective patrons and present your wares or state propositions in a clear and concise manner, you at once bring upon yourself unnecessary, but deserving criticism from the public which will cause not only your patrons but those who are contemplating dealing with you, to lose confidence in you from the start and confidence once lost by a patron is harder to regain than to obtain at first. The first impression made is always the most lasting one. It is therefore necessary that you be able to convince those you deal with of your ability to satisfy them. If you enter into a business that you are not familiar with, you should employ someone who thoroughly understands the business to work with you until you have acquired sufficient knowledge of it to carry it on intelligently without assistance. By doing this, you will more quickly enter upon the road to success. HONESTY. You may gain the confidence of the public and thereby a large patromage, but if you prove dishonest, you will soon lose the confidence and respect of those trading with you, and the result will be a gradual losing of your patromage. You may not observe this loss at first because of the fact that new patrons are constantly coming in, but in time you will see the mistake of being dishonest for there is even an end to numbers. One may succeed for a while by misrepresentation and sharp bargains, but this will not last. Strict attention to business should be observed at all times since none wants to do business with another who does not give his attention to his business. To succeed one must be on the job at all times during business hours. OBLIGATIONS. To gain and hold the confidence of creditors, you must meet your obligations promptly. No one can successfully run a business of any proportion unless they can get credit. ADVERTISE. You can not hope to sell your wares unless you let the public know you have them for sale. Cheyenne, Wyo., News Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Ketchul of Seattle, Wash., are visiting Cheyenne friends, while en route to New York City. Mrs. G. A. Davis of Albia, Iowa, is visiting with her step-grand daughter, Mrs. Wm. Smith, 623 West Nineteenth street. Mrs. Smith entertained, at dinner on Sunday in honor of Mrs. Davis. Rev. S. S. Fairly has returned from a trip into Utah and Idaho, where he went to supervise missions in those states. Rev. Fairly is moderator of Tri-State Baptist Association. Miss Hattie Anderson returned from Hanna, Wyo., where she went to attend the funeral of her brother, Ezeliel Anderson. Rev. J. E. Allen of Denver, Colo., preached from the pulpit of the Second Baptist Church on Sunday evening. Rev. Allen selected for his text Gen. xv chapter and 1st verse. Subject "Abraham's Piety." Rev. Allen has a hose of friends in this city. A large congregation was in attendance. Rev. J. E. Hastings is anxious to organize a Methodist Brotherhood, an organization composed of members of the church and friends, to take interest in the newcomers into the city, and to look out for their welfare in all ways that tend to build better morals. Rev. Hastings' attempt to form such an organization comes at a time when he may be able to combat other influences which tend to degrade. The Statesman's hope is that Rev. Hastings will meet with the co-operation of the Christian members of his church, which will be an incentive for others to note their interest in the welfare of our young men. Mrs. Pauline Sheldon, 908 West Twentieth street, died at Memorial Hospital, Sunday night. Mrs. Sheldon has been a resident of Cheyenne for fourteen years. She is survived by a brother, W. L. M. Baker, and a niece, Ida Belle Taylor, 720 West Twenty-second street. --- Lewis' Toy Circus Now Open!

A. playground, 26th avenue and Ogden street, last Saturday afternoon to take part in the games which had been scheduled. The boys represented the Hi-Y and C. C. T. P. groups. The latter are made up of boys from the different Sunday schools—boys belonging to the grammar school grades. They had a wonderfully fine time. The first game was played between the Shorter Bearcats and New Hope Tigers, the Bearcats winning, 19 to 12. The second game was played between the Redeemer boys and the Central Beartrailers, with a few other boys from Sunday schools in which the groups have not yet been completely organized. The Redeemer group won by a score of 18 to 12. The third game was played between the Hi-Y Tigers and a miscellaneous group of C. C. T. P. boys. The latter, though much younger and smaller than their opponents, completely outplayed the Tigers, defeating them by a score of 16 to 2. Other games will be played this afternoon, beginning at 2 o'clock. The Y. M. C. A. deeply sympathizes with Mr. George C.

HUMPHREYS WINS DECREE OF DIVORCE One of the most bitterly contested divorce cases that has been fought in the District Court this fall term was tried before Judge Butler of Division 3 in the District Court, Luvenia Humphrey vs. Winston S. Humphrey. Mrs. Humphrey charged her husband, Winston S. Humphrey, with desertion and non-support. Mr. Humphrey filed a cross-complaint, through his attorney, Thos. Campbell, charging her with desertion and extreme and repeated acts of cruelty. The case finally came to trial on Tuesday, Nov. 27, after many heated legal skirmishes for the past four months in which Mr. Humphrey was vietorious each time. The case was on trial for two whole lays and went to the jury about 3:30 p. m. on Wednesday. The jury brought in a verdict against Mrs. Humphreys at 4:15 p. m., finding her guilty of desertion and extreme and repeated acts of cruelty. Attorney Thos. Campbell made a most brilliant, masterful and convincing argument to the jury and won a verdict for his client against great odds. NOTICE On Wednesday evening, Dec. 5, at 8 p. m., at the Odd Fellows' Hall, 2630 Welton street, His Excellency, Hon. William E. Sweet, Governor of the State of Colorado, will address the association upon a subject most interesting, vital and important to our group. We are endeavoring to make this a Great MEETING for all of the people. Therefore, it is up to every loyal member of the association to boost this meeting by inviting, or bringing with him, as many of his friends as he can reach. Soon after Governor Sweet took office, a certain radical element in Denver, who are obnoxiously and painfully, disgustingly antagonistic to our group, waited upon the Governor to size him up in regard to their poison propaganda of hate and prejudice against our race, and in no uncertain words they were told by Governor Sweet to go back to Mississippi and that the 100 per cent white citizens of Colorado would take care of the race problems in Colorado. Governor Sweet has not been bothered since by any more such radical committees. Let every citizen come out and hear the Governor. The election of officers will be held immediately after the Governor speaks and all members must be paid up in full with their dues to be eligible to vote or hold office. Sincerely yours, THOS.

PLANS OF THE ASSOCIATION Washington. — Announcement is made in Washington that Harding Memorial week will be observed throughout the country from December 9 to 16. During this time exercises and services of many kinds will be held in commemoration of Warren G. Harding's life as citizen and as president. There recently was incorporated under the laws of Ohio an organization known as the Harding Memorial association whose duty it shall be to provide a suitable depository for the remains of the late president and to take over and maintain his homestead at Marlon as a shrine for housing mementos of his long public service. This association has opened headquarters in Washington and today is engaged in effecting organizations in each state for the purpose of carrying out the general memorial plan. It is said that the association has in mind an appropriate but modest memorial for the late president in his home town of Marion. It is not yet known what form this memorial will take. The site for it will be selected by a committee of which President Harding's widow will be a member. A sufficient sum of money will be set aside as an endowment for the perpetual care of the memorial. Marion Home Will Be Maintained. The Harding home on Mount Vernon avenue, Marion, will be maintained for all time and with it the front porch which, like the front porch at McKinley's home at Canton, became famous in a presidential campaign. It is said that 30,000 visitors have gone to the Harding home since the death of the president last August. It also is said that about 250,000 people heard speeches delivered from the front porch of the home during the campaign of 1920. Several of the homes of former presidents of the United States still are standing and some of them have been preserved as what might be called national memorials. Of course, the first in mind is that of George Washington at Mount Vernon which stands today just about as it did in his lifetime, and is cared for by a national association of women. It was only a few days ago that the Roosevelt birthplace in New York city was turned into a memorial museum. The house which stands on Twentieth street was the one in which Roosevelt was born and in which he spent the days of his childhood and earlier youth. The home of Theodore Roosevelt at Oyster bay, on Sagamore hill, still is occupied by his widow. It is believed that eventually this home also will be maintained as a national shrine. Thomas Jefferson's home at Monticello, Va., it is believed soon will be taken over for preservation for all time in memory of the author of the Declaration of Independence. About a year ago a great oil company purchased an old house at Delaware, Ohio, and was about to turn it into a filling station or something of that kind when it was learned that the house was the birthplace of Rutherford B. Hayes. The company thereupon turned the house over as a gift to the City of Delaware and the understanding is that today it is under municipal direction as a memorial. The Lincoln house in Springfield, Ill., still stands and is under public guardianship. The log cabin in which Lincoln was born is preserved in Kentucky. In connection with the Harding memorial it is the intention of the executive committee of the association to raise funds to establish a chair of diplomacy and functions of government in some leading university. This is said to have been one of the cherished ideals of the late president. He spoke frequently to his friends of the need of special training for our representatives in foreign countries. Not long before his death in speaking about what he had attempted to do during his administration President Harding said nothing had given him more satisfaction than the coordination and greater efficiency which he had been able to bring about in the various government departments. It is proposed to include special instructions for executives of the government in the plans for the establishment of the chair of diplomacy and functions of government. President Coolidge heads the Harding association board of trustees. The cabinet officers are included in the board's membership and with them are numbers of well-known Americans. A plan for associate members has been approved by the executive committee. Every person who contributes to the Harding memorial fund automatically will become a member. There are now in course of preparation certificates of membership which are to be handsomely engraved and to bear the name of the contributor to the fund. Prospects in Congress. The administration will have certain legislation to recommend to the consideration of congress which soon as- sembles. These measures, of course, will be known as administration Republican measures. The representatives of the blocs in congress will have measures of their own to introduce for which they will ask support. After a study of the measures which are likely to be introduced, it seems likely that only two of them can be looked upon as nonbloc and nonpartisan insofar as support for them in the two houses is concerned. The two exempted measures are immigration and the bonus. On everything else which has been suggested as likely to come before congress, blocism and partisanism will be much in evidence. It is to be doubted if the Republican leaders believe that any bills of importance, conservative in their nature and backed by the administration, can be enacted into law by a straight party majority. The Republican leaders today seemingly are as anxious as ever, because of the imminence of the presidential campaign, to pass certain measures by a party majority and thus to let the voters know that a harmonious congressional Republicanism is backing a Republican administration. Bonus Has Support Everywhere. The bonus has its support in the ranks of all congressional elements, Democratic, Republican, Farmer-Labor and every other element with a name or without a name. The bonus bill, if it goes through, as it probably will, can be claimed as a Republican measure only because the Republicans have a majority in each of the two houses that is, they have it if certain men written down as Republicans are rightly so written down. As for immigration, the expectation is that any attempt to let more immigrants into the country than may come under the present law will be defeated by a combination of Republicans, Democrats and blocs. The only support for easier admission for immigrants to the United States probably will come from the extreme conservatives of the Democratic and Republican parties, and there probably are not enough of these in either house to secure the result that they seek. The friends of more lenient immigration laws also will have the support of representatives of certain racial groups in congress, and beyond this they count on nothing, for country-wide manifestations have proved pretty conclusively to the majority of congressmen that the country wants to Americanize the foreigners that it has before it allows others to come in faster than they are coming now. One chief Republican endeavor in the next congress will be to cut the appropriations so that the party can go before the country next summer to say, "Look at the saving grace of our action." It is pretty well known that President Coolidge will urge economy to the parsimony point. The Republican majority will do its best to meet the administration's recommendation, and it can be taken for granted that the Democrats will enter no objections. Army and Navy Suffering. Certain departments of government are having their activities checked by a lack of funds to do what probably ought to be done. The army and navy particularly are suffering today and there seems to be no doubt at all that they will continue to suffer. Students of conditions say that congress may save the people some money next winter by withholding appropriations for some of the varied works of the government departments, but that in the future the taxpayers of the country will pay five-fold more because of the present-day desire of congress to effect what will look like a saving. The Republican majority has its legislative program, and the "radical-progressives" have their program. The Republican majorities in house and senate are small and they are not really majorities at all. The progressives will not allow the party to which most of them belong, in name at least, to put anything at all through, unless they get something for what they give. They are not likely to get much, because the things which they suggest are things to which Republicans who also are conservatives probably cannot subscribe. An attempt will be made to secure complete revision of the present railroad law. The conservatives will not listen to this. It is pretty well known also that a certain contingent will attempt to put a resolution through which will deny the right of the Supreme court to declare unconstitutional by a five to four vote any act of congress. HIS FALSE TEETH CAME BACK Suburbanite Much Relieved When Missing Property Is Returned by His Tailor. Smith, who lives up in Washington Heights, boasts a pair of gold-rimmed detachable and demountable teeth. The other morning as he was rushing around to get ready to go to the office he missed his fancy molars. He searched high and low, but in vain. Early in the evening he came home to renew the search. Just as he had decided that he must have swallowed them in his sleep, his tailor appeared with a suit of clothes he had taken to clean and press the night before. "I won't charge you anything for cleaning these," smiled the tailor as he drew the coat aside and revealed the two gold-rimmed, detachable and downtable teeth suspended from the hanger. Smith was thankful the tailor hadn't turned his flat iron into a toothbrush, and that he had felt through the pockets before applying his presser.—New York Sun and Globe.

(Prepared by the United States Department ing moist foods and th Whatever kind of box, pall, or basket is chosen for carrying the school lunch, it should be of a kind that can be frequently cleansed and scalded, says the United States Department of Agriculture. This is necessary to keep it clean and sweet and to kill bacteria that collect, especially in the seams and crevices of a container, and cause foods to spell or deteriorate in flavor. In fact, there should be no part of any food container that cannot be cleaned. For this reason the simplest boxes and baskets are often better than the more elaborate ones with compartments in which to keep dishes, knives, forks, and spoons. Metal Eashest Cleaned. Metal boxes and pails are perhaps easiest to keep clean, and some of the boxes have the farther advantage that they can be folded when empty and strapped with the schoolbooks. Baskets are ventilated and therefore suitable for carrying moist foods that are likely to spoil, though there is no reason why small holes should not be punched in metal boxes or pails to let in the air. Baskets, too, can be washed or scalded. With the increase in automobile travel, there have come on the market well-constructed boxes and baskets with compartments for keeping food hot or cold, and for holding liquids. These are, of course, suitable only for children who ride back and forth, and especially where several lunches are put up in one household. In many families the paper bags in which groceries are delivered are saved and used to pack the children's lunches in. The children usually like to carry lunch in a paper bag because it is light, and may be thrown away entirely if it is no longer wanted. Paper bags can be bought quite cheaply in packages of 100 or more Paper bags will not do, of course, for carry- DREAM KITCHEN HAS DIVERS FINE POINTS Illustrates Several Superior Features in Arrangement. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) The little picture showing "A Dream Kitchen Realized" is used by extension workers of the State College of Washington co-operating with the United States Department of Agriculture. This Kitchen illustrates several good features in kitchen arrangement. The 10 A "Dream Kitchen" Realized. sink, to begin with, is under a window for light and ventilation. The plumbing is easily accessible for cleaning and repairs. There is a sloping drain board on each side with pot closets underneath and dish closets above, enabling the worker to put dishes away immediately without extra steps. A long counter at the left with closets above and below provides a convenient place for setting food directly on plates in the kitchen or for stacking the dishes after a meal. Storage cup- ing moist foods and the sandwiches within them should be well wrapped in waxed or parchment paper to prevent drying out. Every precaution should be taken to keep the foods in the school lunch clean and in good condition. In dusty seasons they should be wrapped particularly well. In hot weather the use of soft, moist foods in which molds and bacteria are most likely to grow rapidly should be avoided. Although chopped meat moistened with a dressing of some kind makes a good sandwich filling, such food is less desirable in hot weather than slices of meat, peanut butter, or other foods less likely to spoil. Useful for Packing. Paper napkins or the somewhat heavier paper towels of much the same size, and paraffin and parchment papers, are very useful for packing lunches, and may now be obtained at a low price, particularly if bought in rather large quantities. If no provision is made in the school for serving lunches, an extra napkin, either of paper or cloth, should be put in the basket, to be spread over the school desk when the lunch is eaten. Napkins that are easy to wash and require no inning can be made of cotton crepe at a cost of a very few cents each. The crepe may be bought by the yard, and should be cut into squares and fringed. In packing the lunch, sandwiches, cookies, and other foods should be wrapped in neat separate parcels, and the things less likely to crush should be put at the bottom. Paper cups and cartons, jelly tumblers with covers, and bottles and jars with screw tops, such as those in which candy and other foods are sold, can all be used for packing jellies, jams, honey, sliced raw fruits, custards, cottage cheese, and other half-solid foods. boards above the counter eliminate walking about when baking or preparing a meal. Good light is thrown over the sink and shelves at night from a ceiling fixture. A wire basket suspended from the faucets insures economy by allowing the soap to drain. Linoleum on the floor is easy to stand or walk on and requires a minimum of effort to keep clean. Altogether the "dream kitchen" presents many points for any housekeeper to consider in planning her workshop. BUTTER BEST FOR CHILDREN Like Milk It Is Rush in Growth-Promoting Vitamines—Hard to Estimate Quantity. Among the fats butter is generally considered the best for children because, like milk, it is rich in the growth-promoting vitamin A. It is no easier to make an exact estimate of the quantity of butter than of milk needed in a child's diet. Speaking roughly, however, an ounce, or two cubic inches, or two level tablespoonfuls of butter is probably enough for a day when at least one and a half pints of whole milk are used, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. OF INTEREST TO THE HOUSEWIFE Squash or pumpkin is delicious baked. Dried peaches make delicious marmalade. Watch the kerosene can that it doesn't drip. Dried fruits and cereal may be cooked together. Before oiling a floor be sure it is absolutely clean. Potatoes are more wholesome baked than boiled. The Kitchen Cabinet it has been said of the Prophet Daniel that he went with greater willingness to the den of lions because he knew that he would not be called upon for an after-dinner speech.—Burgess Johnson. CHRISTMAS GOOD THINGS If there has been put up jams, jellies, canned vegetables and relishes, there is no need to worry about Christmas giving, for there are many friends in the circle of our acquaintance who would be delighted with such home-prepared gifts Those who live in the country or on farms, where everything good can be grown, are able to surprise the city friend or relative with a really worthwhile holiday basket. A big golden pumpkin, hollowed out in the form of a bowl or basket, leaving the slice taken from the top, with the stem for a handle, for a cover. Scoop out the seeds and put into this pumpkin basket a glass of jelly or two, a small jar of cream, a roll of sausage, a plump, dressed chicken, a pat of fresh farm butter, a few fresh eggs, and fill in the chinks with hickory nuts, hazelnuts, or chestnuts, depending upon where you live; cover with the lid and present your Christmas pumpkin. The pumpkin will delight the family with a few pumpkin pies. A bit of handwork which cost little for the material may be worked on at odd moments, and one will never miss the time so spent. A suggestion to the farm wife when she makes sausage for the winter—prepare a few for Christmas as follows; Save nice clean corn husks, roll the sausage into the form of an ear of corn, then wrap with corn husks and tie. Smoke with the hams, keep in a cool place and they will be good all winter. The corn husks give a good flavor to the sausage. English Plum Pudding—Scald two and one-half cupfuls of bread crumbs with one cupful of milk. Add one-half pound of finely-chopped suet, one-half cupful each of sugar and maple syrup, four eggs, well-beaten; one-half pound each of currants, raisins and citron; dredge with three tablespoonfuls of flour; add two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and one-third of a cupful of canned fruit juice. Turn into a buttered mold and steam twelve hours for two days. Rebehat when serving. Booolel shou must be, though wisest of the wise; Then be the cool of virtue, not of vice. It is well to be wise in a great moment. CANDIES WITH HONEY If you have a few hives of bees the Christmas candy problem will be quite easily solved. A card or two of honey is a present that few will not appreciate. CHEF'S TABLE Honey Caramels. — Take a cupful of the best-flavored extracted honey, one cupful of sugar, three tablespoonfuls of sweet cream, and boil to the soft-ball stage. (When a drop is put into cold water it may be gathered in the fingers in a soft ball.) Add a teaspoonful of vanilla just before taking off the fire. Pour into a greased pan, having the sirup a half-inch or more deep. When cool enough, mark off into squares and wrap in paraffin paper. If chocolate is wanted add one tablespoonful of melted chocolate to the mixture with the vanilla, stirring it in well. Honey, and Tar Cough Candy.—Boll two handfuls of green hoarhound in two quarts of water down to one quart; strain and add a pint of honey, a tablespoonful of lard and tar. Boll until a candy is formed. Pour out into a greased dish and mark off into small squares. Begin with a very small piece and increase the amount. This is an excellent cough candy. Walnut Creams.—Take one cupful each of brown sugar and honey and one half cupful of sweet cream. Cook to the soft-ball stage, stir in two tablespoonfuls of butter and, just as it is taken from the fire, add a teaspoonful of vanilla and one cupful of chopped walnut meats. Stir and pour out into a buttered tin to cool. Mark into squares when cool enough. Barber's Honey Candy.—Take one quart of honey, one cupful of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of butter and two tablespoonfuls of strong vinegar. Boll until it makes a hard ball when dropped into cold water, then add one teaspoonful of soda. Pour into buttered pans to cool. Omit the soda and vinegar and the candy will pull nicely. Butterscotch.—Take one cupful of butter, two cupfuls each of sugar and extracted honey, one teaspoonful of cinnamon. Boll ten minutes; pour into a buttered pan and, when cool, mark off into squares. Crackerjack.—Take one cupful of brown sugar, one cupful of honey; boll until it hardens when dropped into cold water. Remove from the fire; add one-balf teaspoonful of soda. Stir in all the popcorn or puffed rice it will take; spread in a greased pan and, when cool, mark into squares. Nellie Maxwell It is many centuries since Marcus Aurelius observed the fretful disquiet of Rome, which must have been strikingly like our fretful disquiet today, and proffered counsel, unheeded then as now: "Take pleasure in one thing and rest in it, passing, from one social act to another, thinking of God."—Agnes Repplier. TASTY FOODS After the family have enjoyed boiled tongue save a few slices for: Tongue Torta. —Take a cupful of chopped tongue, add two tablespoonfuls of cream, one egg yolk well mixed with the cream, a tablespoonful of —Take a cupful of chopped tongue, add two tablespoonfuls of cream, one egg yolk well mixed with the cream, a tablespoonful of kitchen bouquet, salt, pepper, a grating of nutmeg and a bit of chopped parsley. Stir over the heat until well blended, then spread on buttered toast; sprinkle lightly with buttered bread crumbs and brown in a hot oven. Garnish with watercress and serve. Mock Mince Pie.—Roll twelve crackers, add one-half cupful of vinegar, one cupful of sugar, one cupful of hot water, one-half cupful of honey, one cupful each of currants and raisins. This makes filling enough for three or four pies. The Real Mince Meat.—Get a piece of meat from the neck, cook in simmering water (seasoning well) until tender. Chop very fine in a wooden bowl with chopping knife. To one measure of chopped meat add two measures of chopped fine-flavored apple. Add to two quarts of chopped meat two glasses of apple or plum jelly, a cupful of chopped suet, two pounds of brown sugar, two tablespoonfuls of cinnamon, one tablespoonful of cloyes, a finely-chopped orange with the seeds removed, the grated rind of a lemon, the juice of a lemon, a pint of good vinegar, and a pint of the broth that the meat was cooked in; a pound each of raisins and currants, will make a large pie. Candied fruit and chopped almonds may be added if one does not consider expense, but the recipe as it stands is exceedingly good and a cherished one in a family of good cooks. If a book is dull, that is a matter between itself and its maker; but if it makes me duller than I should otherwise have been. I have a grievance.—Samuel M. Cothers. MEATS IN DIFFERENT WAYS A tough portion of meat from the neck or rump may become tasty and tender by proper cooking. The tougher parts of meat are full of extractives which add flavor. These are found in less amount in the tenderer and cooking. The tougher parts of meat are full of extractives which add flavor. These are found in less amount in the tenderer and more expensive cuts. Of course one has to take into consideration the amount of fuel burned if a cheap cut is cooked, although the fitless will do away with all expense after the dish and stone are heated. Beef a la Mode.—Take four pounds of the rump of beef, brown the meat in a little fat. Add five or six sliced onions and three cupfuls of boiling water. Simmer for an hour, then add three-fourths of a cupful of vinegar, two or three pieces of stick cinnamon, two tablespoonfuls of brown sugar, two teaspoonfuls of granulated sugar caramelized, two teaspoonfuls of whole cloves and simmer three hours, adding water as needed. Thicken the gravy with two tablespoonfuls of flour after straining the broth. Stew With Dumplings.—Take two pounds of lean beef, mutton or veal; wipe the meat, put into a kettle and cover with boiling water; cook slowly for one and one-half hours. Now add two cupfuls each of cut-up carrots and onions; boll fifteen minutes, then add one part of potatoes diced or thinly sliced; add one cupful of tomato, one tablespoonful of salt, one-fourth teaspoonful of pepper, and cook until the vegetables are tender or nearly so. Add the dumplings and cook carefully covered without lifting the cover for ten minutes. Add a tablespoonful of flour to part of the broth, cook it well and add to the meat and vegetables as it is served; sprinkle with chopped parsley. Dumplings—Take one cupful of buttermilk, two level teapoonfuls of baking powder mixed with a cupful of flour or just enough to make a drop batter; add one egg, a little salt and mix to make a mixture stiff enough to drop from the spoon. Drop from a teaspoon onto the boiling stew and vegetables and quickly cover and cook. Dumplings made from buttermilk are delightfully tender and of good flavor. Pot Roast.—Take a piece of rump, neck or a flank steak, wipe with a cloth dampened in vinegar. Put to cook with a very little fat in a hot iron kettle, add a tablespoonful of water just when needed, season to taste and cook closely covered for three hours.

IF THE sprightly and capricious flapper of today could look back on the flappers of bygone times, she would probably make comparisons (in the matter of good looks) odious to her forebears. She may be no prettier than her grandmother was, but it is certain that she is more flattered by her clothes. Clever people spend their time thinking up ways to con- Y C ceal her acute angles, dress her pretty hair, bring out her naive charm and, above all, to conceal the art that turns her out apparently so simply clad. Therefore every mother, who undertakes to make her daughter's wardrobe at home, will do well to be a copyist and follow the styles presented for girls of all ages rather than to design independently. The miss of fourteen and upward wants to dress beyond her years, about nine times out of ten, and when allowed to do so loses the sweet charm that belongs to her. For a slender girl the pretty, dark cloth frock, shown in the picture, reveals the fine hand of an expert. It is trim but full enough to soften her sharp angles; it boasts a clever emojoered decoration on the blouse, a smart waistline and graceful length. These work a-day dresses, in which the young miss wends her way to school, or wherever the everyday business of life takes her, are varied by removable cuffs and collars in many styles that keep them dainty and interesting. Two of these are illustrated and the sets may be bought ready made, or the embroidered batiste by the yard and made up into sets at home. They launder easily and successfully. Mankind looked first to fur for his protection from the wind and cold. It meets his needs so well that at I I this late day the demand for fur is so great as to threaten the extinction of many fur-bearing animals. The love of fine furs has been a characteristic of the human race so long that it may be said to be an instinct. Such furs asermine and sable have reached such high prices that furriers are developing other more common, and far less expensive furs, to take their places. The last decade has seen the introduction of many processes of dyeing and manufacture which have placed beautiful and practical furs within the reach of persons of moderate means. those of the muskrat cleverly manipulated imitations of more those of the muskrat and durable—those of the beautiful, but very "so do not wear long, but the erate considering the make them up.

It is cut three-quarter length and the skins are placed to give a C 1 DRESS MADE OF DARK MATERIAL wide band effect at the hem. The coat at the right is of dark caracul and also has a deep shawl collar. In this garment the sleeve treatment is extremely novel, the trimming being rows of silk tassels. Fashion this year dictates that the coat for evening wear must be long. For day or street wear there is considerably more latitude since three-quarter lengths and jackets are both in good style. For sport wear nothing is in such favor as the close-fitting jacket with shawl or military collar. Certain very plentiful skins, like I those of the muskrat and hare are cleverly manipulated by furriers into imitations of more expensive pelts.
