THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY PRESIDENT COOLIDGE PRAISED BY TUSKEGEE PRINCIPAL VOL. XXX (Lincoln Service.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—Declaring that the colored people of America have every reason to expect from President Coolidge "calm, deliberate, high-souled action," Dr. Robert Russa Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, has paid a glowing tribute to the nation's chief executive in a 1,500-word editorial which appears in "The Tuskegee Student," the official organ of the Institute. A deep feeling of loyalty must have inspired the educator when he wrote his estimate of the President, for kindly reference is made to Mr. Coolidge's remarks at the dedication of the Government Hospital for Colored Veterans of the World War at Tuskegee on Lincoln's birthday, February 12, 1923, and emphasis is given to the sentiment which caused Mr. Coolidge to revere the policies of the marryd Abraham Lincoln. In other paragraphs of his editorial tribute to the President, Dr. Moton wrote: "Behind him there is the weight of the New England tradition and the advantage of an extended career of effective public service. He brings to the presidency the atmosphere of traditions of liberty, of liberal education, of constitutional government and lofty ideals of citizenship. The transfer of those traditions and ideals to the sphere of the presidency of these United States must be the occasion of profound satisfaction to all those who wish to see America maintain her foremost position as the exampler of enlightened democracy. * * * "He comes to power when momentous decisions must be made—decisions involving the foundation principles of our social order, the effects of which will be felt in the immediate future as well as in the long years which are to follow. * * * "Heretofore our presidents have been chosen largely for their ability to hold things together, to maintain the status quo, if not indeed to brake the wheels of swiftly moving progress and forestall any sudden or radical change in the accustomed order of life. But twice now has Providence intervened to choose a President whom the politicians had rejected. Coolidge is an idealist, as was Roosevelt, and both are nevertheless regarded as practical men, though of almost opposite temperaments. It was the problem of the politicians to keep Roosevelt from talking. It seems to be their problem now to get Coolidge to talk. Yet each is alike capable of resolute, determined action and both base their conduct upon the lofty principles of public duty. Both chart their course by the Constitution. * * * "Twelve million black Americans are interested as never before in the man who occupies the Presidential chair. The accession of Calvin Coolidge to the Presidency bids fair to strengthen the hold of the Republican party upon the Negro vote throughout the country." Touching upon a number of public utterances of the President, wherein he strongly set forth his beliefs in justice, reason, and the avoidance of class distinctions, Dr. Moton said: "Negroes need not fear to give their State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House THE ONLY RELIANCE COLORA GE PRAISED SKEGEE PRINGIPAL confidence to a man whose conduct is based on principles such as those." After alluding to Mr. Coolidge's "appoint Negro policemen" order when Boston was in the toils of police strike difficulties and Coolidge was governor of the Massachusetts Commonwealth, Dr. Moton concluded by saying: "Calvin Coolidge may, therefore, be expected to preserve inviolate those early traditions of the republic and to be, after nearly one hundred and fifty years of common struggle, sacrifice and achievement, the President of every section of the country and of all the people who pay allegiance to its flag." Phil Brown Passes Away in Washington Washington, Dec. 7.—Phil H. Brown, director of Negro economics in the department of labor, dropped dead in his home, 1326 Riggs Pl., last Friday morning at the age of 54. The cause of his death has been ascribed to acute indigestion. Funeral services were held at the residence Saturday afternoon by Rev. J. C. Oldham of the Plymouth Congregational church and Rev. T. J. Brown of St. Luke's Episcopal church, and the body was taken to Hopkinsville, Ky., by his widow for burial Monday. Phil Brown was born in Ironton, Ohio, in 1869 and came to Washington at an early age, where he took up the printer's trade. Later he became employed in the government printing office and was said to be the first member of the Race to be admitted into the printers' union. Owned Newspaper From his printer's beginning Mr. Brown had an interesting and varied career. He had at different times been owner, editor and publisher of many different newspapers and magazines. At one time he was junior editor of the New York World and after leaving that paper became an associate editor of Judge, a weekly magazine published in New York. It was while Phil Brown was publishing his own paper in Kentucky that he was elected to the National Republican convention from the Bluegrass state. From that time until his death he was a power in the Republican party. In 1921 he was appointed by Secretary of Labor Davis to the position which he held until his death. Mr. Brown was a personal friend of the late President Harding and General Charles G. Dawes. Many telegrams and letters of condolence have been received by the widow, Mrs. Dollie R. Brown, from men high in the ranks of public dignitaries, some of whom are Senator Medill McCormick of Illinois and President Coolidge. President Regrets Death The President's telegram was as follows: "My Dear Mrs. Brown: The news of your husband's death has just reached me and I am hastening to express my sympathy and most sincere condolences. I have had occasion to know something of his long, faithful and highly efficient service to the government and wish you to know of my conviction that the country and the public service have sustained a very real loss in his death. "Most sincerely yours, "CALVIN COOLIDGE." St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 14.—Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Malone, heads of Poro College, returned home last week and were given a royal reception by the employees of the famous Poro College. They were in fine health and full of enthusiasm over observations on their western trip, and especially progress made by Poro Agents. A kindly welcome was extended by the friends and employees of Poro College. A source of joy came to Mr. and Mrs. Malone when they were ushered into the assembly hall was a splendid program rendered by the Choral Society and Orchestra. The splendid work done by the orchestra under the direction of Mr. Harris was highly pleasing to the Malones, and the heads of Poro College see great possibilities for this musical organization. Among the guests during their homecoming were Banker and Mrs. Jessie Binga, Chicago, Ill. This was the first visit of Mr. and Mrs. Binga to Poro College and they were elated over the wonderful progress made by Mr. and Mrs. Malone, and the fine co-operation exhibited by all of their employees. Editor Franklin, of the Kansas City Call, Kansas City, Mo., spent two days visiting Poro College during the homecoming. Mr. and Mrs. Cary B. Lewis and Cary B. Lewis, Jr., Chicago, Ill., were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Malone and spent one week enjoying their courtesy and hospitality. The Lewis', however, were present at the dedication of the new building, the annex, and the unveiling of the beautiful painting in the lobby. Mr. and Mrs. Malone arrived in the city just in time to take part in the Community Chest Fund drive.

(Pryce Service Bureau) LOAFING AROUND PLACES OF BUSINESS It is a common thing to visit an office or a business establishment owned by our people and see two or three men who are out of employment or who may be employed, but off duty, sitting around engaged in a useless conversation or a heated argument that at- mort thing to visit an office or a business establishment owned by our people and see two or three men who are out of employment or who may be employed, but off duty, sitting around engaged in a useless conversation or a heated argument that attracts the attention of pedestrians on the streets, and particularly persons who come in stores or business places to transact business. Such persons may be there because they have nothing to do, or have no other place to go, or because the proprietor wishes them to come in to gossip. Let the circumstances be what they may, it is bad policy, and poor judgment from a business standpoint. Customers who go to a meat market do not care to see persons standing or sitting around observing their purchases, especially women. People who go to a doctor's or lawyers' office, as a rule, go there for private business. They do not want to see anyone sitting around listening to their conversation, or wondering what the trouble may be; and as it is with the businesses and offices mentioned, so it is with every kind of business in which we are engaged. We always prefer when we go into any business establishment that no one be present, except the person or persons we are to do business with, or to make our purchase through. Barber-shops, pool and club-rooms are supposed to be places where men gather to waste their time and engage in small useless conversations. Often these do-notothing people who gather about different places, get so loud and bolsterous that they can be heard by persons passing on the street or by customers coming to the place to transact business before they enter. Or when not too loud, they often show equally as poor breeding by continuing to sit, talk and laugh, when customers come to transact business with the proprietor. Such conduct constitutes a nuisance, and the sooner the "boss" of the place learns that and puts a stop to it, the better it will be for his business. Many a doctor has lost a good patient who has come near enough to hear or see people loafing in his office, and desiring to see him personally and not being seen, have passed by his office and gone to some other doctor where more privacy is observed. Especially is this true of women. The same thing holds good for all the businesses and professions. A business place of whatever kind, should be used strictly for the purpose it was established and should be kept clean and inviting at all times. A place of business should "cut out" everything but business during business hours. Save the Children (Lincoln Service.) Washington, Dec. 10. Of intense interest to the colored women of the country is the concerted effort being made by representatives of fifteen of the most influential organizations of women, affiliated with the Women's Joint Congressional Committee (white), for the purpose of pushing a campaign for a child labor amendment to the Federal Constitution. In a republic like this, where the children of today are the rulers of tomorrow, the best thought of the nation is directed to the improvement and preservation of American ideals and institutions. Conditions that permit more than one million children, ranging in age from ten to fifteen years, to be physically dwarfed and mentally stunted because of the greed for money that is so apparent and so merciless among a certain type of employers, is a national disgrace; and it is hoped that the efforts now being made will result favorably. President Coolidge touched a responsive chord in the hearts of the people when he said: "We have no higher duty than supporting and encouraging the future citizens of this country." Fortunately, and due to industrial prejudice, the exploitation of child labor has not yet reached an acute stage among the colored population, there being but 317,231 colored children out of a total of 1,180,848 children who are regularly employed in the fields, factories, mines and mills, but should this federal amendment fail of adoption, it is not improbable that the industrial bars will be let down to the destruction of countless thousands of the children of our race, whose economic background is too weak to withstand the allurement of an increased family wage. It is plainly up to the colored women and men to get squarely behind this movement, when called upon, with their influence and their votes. In our children lie our greatest racial hopes. BOULDER, COLO., NEWS Rev. Jackson Sunday morning, the 9th, spoke fine, admonishing his hearers to have Christ enthroned within. At night they had song service at 7 o'clock. The Y. W. C. A.

Woman Receives A $10,000 Check For Photo Play Woman Receives A $10,000 Check For Photo Play Mrs. Mary E. Baker of West Philadelphia Sells Moving Picture Story Mrs. Mary E. Baker, of this city, very recently had accepted her five-reel drama entitled "THE HOUSE OF MYSTERY," for which she recieved a check for $10,000. Mrs. Baker has been doing odd bits of writing for some considerable time, but has only within the last six months entered actively in the "movie game." Since last spring she has composed several songs, and just the other day since receiving her check for $10,000, she has submitted "The Lost Jewel," a thrilling play, three-reels. She has finished "The Pink Slipper" and "The Ruined Father." Mrs. Baker was born in Hazelhurst, Georgia, where she spent most of her life. She taught school there. She has been living in Philadelphia for about seven years. She has a husband and a daughter, twelve years old. Mrs. Baker is fond of reading, but is more fond of writing, and before coming to this city has been actively engaged in church work, and while so engaged wrote a number of church plays, and two pageants, which she presented.—Philadelphia Tribune. Heroism of Conductor and Porter In Cole Creek Disaster Will Be Rewarded by Pullman Company Heroism displayed by L. D. Coburn, Pullman conductor, and D. L. Littleton, Pullman porter, in rescuing passengers from the Cole Creek wreck on the Burlington Railroad at Cole Creek, Wyo., last September, has been recognized by the Pullman Company. Each man according to reports prevalent in railroad circles in Denver Wednesday, is to be rewarded for his bravery by a gift of $1,000 by the Pullman Company. The Burlington railroad, also, according to reports, has recognized the valiant service performed by the men and is taking steps to show its appreciation. Coburn distinguished himself when he went into the submerged Denver Pullman coach which had fallen into Cole Creek after the train had plunged through a bridge, weakened by a flood. At the risk of losing his own life, Coburn stayed in the coach, tipped at a dangerous angle, and succeeded in rescuing all passengers who were alive. Littleton stood on the banks of the creek while the earth was slipping into the swollen waters of the creek and aided in helping passengers from the submerged coach to safety on solid ground. Coburn and Littleton, according to B. H. Vroman, superintendent of the Denver Pullman offices, were called to headquarters at Chicago and commended for their bravery by officials. Coburn resides at 4003 Vallejo street, and Littleton resides at 2212 Curtis street. Passengers who were saved from the wreck by the men signed a round robin commending them and sent it to the Pullman Company following the wreck—Denver Post. ee eRe Ry eer ae ae are ee roe ae a age ae pe c.

Thus is perpetuated as the struggle becomes more will come to prevail. Let us and all persecuted people as we wisdom and justice of an intelligent and color prejudice shall not liberty loving age. THE PERSECUTION against the Jews has a striking analysis in the ostracism and prejudice against the Negro. In both cases it is a blot upon our civilization. Nobility of character spares neither. To say that he is a Jew or Negro is enough to count any kind of contempt or discrimination. Either the Jew or a Negro may be accused of all sorts of high crimes and misdemeanors, which every sensible man knows that he never committed, yet the very accusation has its due effect in prejudicing the minds of the people and the prejudice leads to the infliction of all kinds of pain, suffering and imprisonment and even death. The prejudice in either case is based on nothing reasonable. The accident of birth is beyond our control. Both the Jew and Negro would willingly associate with other people and mix freely in their life and affairs if social barriers were cast away. But as the Jews feel the force of this class distinction it ought to bring them into greater sympathy with the Jew, but strange to say that here the analogy ends for both of these persecuted people while not enemies of each other at least have many divergent points that they cannot coalesce. Thus is perpetuated in the world these differences but perhaps as the struggle becomes more intense right thinking and right acting will come to prevail. Let us hope that the Union will come very soon and all persecuted people as well as their persecutors will see that the wisdom and justice of an intelligent public opinion demands that senseless and color prejudice shall not continue in this new era of civilization and liberty loving age. PULLING TOGETHER WE ARE GLAD to note through the columns of our exchanges, a tendency to preach and emphasize the need and value of unity among us. The word "unity" is a far embracing term. Through its use and proper application, semi-hostile peoples may be brought to a better understanding, nations welded together and the sick in body and mind healed. But it is in the relation to which unity affects our racial status and advancement that we are primarily interested just now. Its necessity as an accomplished fact is apparent to all, and as one enthusiastic writer ably observes, is the imperative need of the times. The question arises, bluntly at this point, how may it be obtained. Racial unity has long been the dream of many people; the actual accomplishment however of a very few. None need it more than our group and we are willing to persevere to that end in the face of any and all discouragements. We are willing to adopt the "try, try again" policy, if at first we don't succeed. Selfishness is back of all disloyalty and disunion, and unfortunately selfishness is an inherent element of human nature, difficult of eradication. Of late years the COLORADO STATESMAN has felt that here in Denver, the lines were being drawn a little closer, that we were beginning to pull together a little more harmonious, and something of a spirit of real unity invading our ranks, though limited in scope. We wish it were more general, for, while we have been accorded splendid political recognition in respect to our numbers, commercially and industrially we are still roaming far apart. And even politically we fear that we have sacrificed to some extent the larger things upon the altar of patronage and official favor. There have been evidences at times of magnificent team work in Denver and upon some vital issues we have no complaint whatever to make. Men and women, organizations, clubs and churches have pulled together upon occasions against the common enemy. The lesson was wholesome and showed completely the possibilities of united effort and oneness of purpose. The tragedy of it however is that our occasional bursts of unity came from pressure from the outside, rather than from a growing intelligence and appreciation of our united powers. We must be able to unify our forces and get together at times other than when danger threatens. Let the world understand that we are a strongly united people and the things that threaten will be few and far between. Some months ago a well known organization set upon the commendable task of securing freedom for the imprisoned soldiers of the 24th U. S. Infantry, by securing the signature of 100,000 persons to petitions to be presented to President Coolidge. The organization in question sought no glory for itself by the effort, nor sought an exclusive right in the matter. As a matter of fact it solicited the co-operation of all Negro organizations of every character, hoping thus to arouse that spirit of unity so needful in the consummation of a task so difficult. The response has not been as enthusiastic as was candidly expected, and while the necessary 100,000 names may be forthcoming, the Negro race in America has failed and failed dismally in an imperative call for united action if fully one million names are not offered the president in a special plea for the pardon of these men. The Shakespearean suggestion that "security is mortal's chieftest enemy," may be a little puzzling at first to decipher, but followed to its logical conclusion, the meaning becomes clearer. That security which one feels in their own progress, happiness or surroundings and which breeds selfishness and propagates discord; or that security which prompts an organization, whether political, civic or religious to assume a self-righteous stand against all pleas for unity with other organizations of similar aim and similar purpose, is indeed civilization's chiefest enemy. In most of the affairs of life the Negro as a race stands with its back to the wall. It must fight for all it gets. We can and must look solely to ourselves in such a fight if we would prove a definite force, and this could be done more effectually as a unit than through individual initiation. Other groups and races have all they can possibly do to look after their own; and yet, strange admission to make, all seem to have learned the value of racial unity except the Negro. But we do not despair; we are not going to look through dark glasses at a situation that impels intelligent application and common sense. As we stated earlier, Denver is one city where results of getting together can be noted favorably. Not all that we wish, 'tis true, but a long step in the right direction has been made and we can see no reason why it should not be perfected and rendered a definite asset to the Race. We cannot expect others to assume our burdens, that day is gone forever. Let our faces and hopes be lifted to the skies, over and beyond the everlasting hills and heed the imperative call of the times, for racial unity and solidarity.

Aside from the selection of the city in which to hold the national convention next year, the one big issue before the Republican national committee which met in Washington this week was the matter of reducing the number of delegates from the South in the next convention, as recommended by the subcommittee some time ago in an effort to avoid the scandals usually growing out of the selection of delegates from that section. The move was regarded as a direct blow to colored Republicans as for the most part they form the major strength of the party. Negro leaders from all parts of the country were drawn into the fight with the result that the delegate rights were restored to Southern districts. Our own national committeeman Hon. John F. Vivian was on the ground and that his attitude toward our group was duly appreciated is evidenced by the following telegram which came to the city Thursday morning. Washington, D. C., Dec. 12. Hon. George W. Gross, Governors Office, Denver, Colo. Mr. Vivian stood by us loyally. Regards to the boys. AN EVENING OF MUSIC IN A BEAUTIFUL HOME Mr. and Mrs. William Price and Frank DeMarr of 1750 Humboldt St., are enjoying the ideal home life, as the editor of the COLORADO STATESMAN and his wife readily found out when they dropped in for a social visit Wednesday night.

For more than two hours we were wafted to a strange fairyland of classical and popular music. The evening was ideal and the congenial host and hostess were joined by Mr. Frank DeMar in adding to our comfort and pleasure. At a late hour we departed for home, but carrying with us cherished memories that will abide well into the Christmas season. MISS HALLIE Q. BROWN COMING TO DENVER Miss Hallie Q.

MARY WINSTON. DECEASED. When Mrs. Mary Winston was taken to the county hospital on Nov. 12 last, unconscious from a protracted illness, from which she died on Nov. 16, she left her purse behind with a large sum of money in it under her pillow in her sick room. Mrs. Robert Taylor, who had attended her at times, together with other neighbors, took the purse containing the money and claimed that Mrs. Winston gave her the money for attending upon her during her illness, and that she considered it was her money. Mr. Benj. R. Hannah, grandson and only heir of Mrs. Winston, made legal demand upon Mrs. Taylor for the money through his attorney, Mr. Thos. Campbell, and Mrs. Taylor refused to give up the money. Thereupon, Attorney Campbell had Mrs. Taylor cited into the County Court to show cause why she should not turn the said money over to Mr. Benj. R. Hannah, administrator of the estate of Mary Winston deceased. The hearing on the citation was had before Judge Luxford in the County Court on last Friday, Dec. 7, and Mrs. Taylor was ordered to turn the money over to Mr. Benj. R. Hannah and to pay the costs of the court. WEDDING MOORE—DE FRANTZ Prominent real estate owners of Denver. All God could do He has done to render each happy in the other. God in His natural laws will bless all who obey. Denver received the surprise of its life, with the reports of the marriage of Mrs. Mabel Z. De Frantz to Mr. W. A. Moore on the evening of Dec. 9th at 6 o'clock at the residence of Mrs. R. A. Randolph, 2918½ Marion street. The ceremony was solemnized by the Rev. T. E. Henderson. The bride was beautifully gowned. The groom also was handsomely dressed. The two made a lovely couple. She had dreamed how his coming would stir her soul, As the ocean is stirred by the warm ormn's strife. He browns the palm of a Heaven- storm's strife, He brought her the balm of a Heavenly calm, And peace which crowned her life. Among her many gifts was a Cole S touring car given to her by Mr. W. A. Moore, her husband. The guests attending were: Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard, Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Manley and daughter Mildred. After the ceremony covers were laid for fourteen at the home of the bridegroom. The future home of Mr. and Mrs. Moore and their two charming little daughters Roberta and Faye De Frantz will be at 2331 Ogden street. May God bless the happy couple. DENVER BRANCH N. A. A. C. P FAILS TO ELECT PRESIDENT Other Officers Selected. The annual meeting of the Denver Branch N. A. A. C. P. at the Negro Woman's Club Home Tuesday night did not attract as large a crowd as the importance of the meeting deserved. The occasion called for annual reports and the election of officers. The reports of treasurer James C. Cooper and of Mrs. Stell as secretary brought many bright bits of work during the past year and showed the branch to be in a sound condition and prosperous. In the election of officers many of the old roster were retained for another year, though Miss Nelsine Howard was selected as secretary. The important office of president was not filled as the result of a deadlock following the report of the nominating committee. Geo. W. Gross who served as president for many years was urged to stay at the helm until his successor could be chosen. Mr. Gross is emphatic in the declaration that he will not serve another year.

The monument was being ceremoniously dedicated to the memory of nine local youths who died in France, when a Klan delegation advanced to place a wreath at the base of the statue. A patriotic mother, who had lost a son in the great war, protested against the Klan's being allowed to decorate the memorial to the dead heroes, and American men drove the delegation of Kluxers back. The Klan insisted however and a fight followed, in which the Klansmen's wreath was destroyed and the delegation repulsed. Have you seen The May Co. Arcade? NOTHING more modern or effective in New York or the east in window display construction. It is with distinct satisfaction and pleasure that we announce their completion and dedicate them as evidence of the progressive spirit of the city of Denver, another step in the reconstruction policy of this store.

The skilled mechanics of Denver have played their part well, and we take this means of paying them the highest tribute for the splendid and workmanlike manner in which they have executed their task. Facts of interest about these windows are: From August 8th up to now, from four to seventy-five men have been continuously employed on the construction of these windows, all under the direct supervision of the F.

"A hundred souls of turkeys in a ple." SOMETHING TO EAT Fish is such an easily obtainable food in all parts of the world, either fresh, canned or dried, that a few ways of serving it may be helpful. Fish Pudding—This is a good way to use bits of cooked left-over fish. Take about one-half pound of fish flakes or shredded cooked fish. Fish Pudding.—This is a good way to use bits of cooked left-over fish. Take about one-half pound of fish flakes or shredded cooked fish, one tablespoonful of parsley, the whites of three eggs, beaten stiff, one-half cupful of melted butter, one and one-half cupful of milk, one cupful of cracker crumbs. Mix thoroughly; season to taste with salt and pepper, put into a well-buttered baking dish and bake twenty minutes in a pan of water in a hot oven. Cover the top of the dish with well-buttered crumbs. Baked Salt Codfish.—To every cupful of codfish, after being picked fine, add two cupfuls of mashed potatoes, two cupfuls of milk, two well-beaten eggs, one half cupful of butter, season with salt, if needed; mix thoroughly and bake in a buttered baking dish for half an hour. Serve with a condiment or relish. Tuna Fish Salad.—Take a can of tuna fish, flake it and add twice as much celery as fish—the celery should be cut fine. Cover with a tart salad dressing and serve on lettuce. Clam Chowder.—Take three slices of fat salt pork, cut into small dice and fry until crisp and brown; add one small onion finely sliced, then add three medium-sized potatoes, cut fine; cover with water and cook until the potatoes are tender; now add three cupfuls of milk and a can of clams. Heat until boiling hot; add four milk crackers, previously soaked in hot milk; season well with salt and pepper and serve hot. Parisian Sweets.—Take a pound each of dates and figs, one pound of walnut meats. Pick over the fruit, remove stones from dates and put fruit and nut meats through a meat-chopper. Take out on a board covered with confectioners' sugar. Mix until well-blended. Roll out to one-quarter-inch in thickness and cut into squares, or use a small round cutter. Roll each piece in confectioners' sugar and pack in layers in a tin box. I sing the joy of little things. The daily news the postman brings. The needs, the calls my household asks. The friend who comes—the daily tasks. SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS Let the children make candy. They enjoy the making and the product is much better for them than the highly-colored or rich candies which may be bought. The foundation for all French candies or bonbons is fondant. To make much better for them than the highly-colored or rich candies which may be bought. The foundation for all French candies or bonbons is fondant. To make it take two cupfuls of granulated sugar, three tablespoonfuls of light corn sirup, one-half cupful of water, and cook to the soft-ball stage. Set away to cool, or pour carefully from the kettle onto a greased platter, being careful that no grains of uncooked sugar drop into the mixture. When cool enough to dip in a finger, stir with a wooden spoon until creamy. Pack in a bowl, cover with waxed paper and let stand in a cool place to ripen. Ice Cream Candy.—Take three cupfuls of sugar, one-quarter of a teaspoonful of cream of tartar, one-half cupful of boiling water, one-half tablespoonful of vinegar. Boll all together without stirring until a little dropped into cold water turns brittle. Turn onto a buttered platter and, when the edges cool, fold towards the center. As soon as it can be handled pull until smooth and glossy. Flavor when pulling. Cut with buttered shears into small pieces. To a half-cupful of fondant add some chopped fruit and nuts, one or both; pack this in a layer into a tin biscuit box that has been buttered or lined with waxed paper; on this put a layer of plain fondant, flavored ith vanilla, and on top of this a layer that has been colored green or pink and flavored with appropriate flavoring. Set away to harden and, when firm, cut into slices, wrap in waxed paper and arrange in the candy boxes with other varieties. Norfolk Oysters.—Cover the bottom of a buttered baking dish with three-quarters of a cupful of hot boiled rice; cover the rice with one-half pint of oysters; pour over one-half cupful of white sauce, dot with butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat, using the same amounts. Cover with a cupful of buttered cracker crumbs and bake in a hot oven thirty minutes. Potatoes au Gratin.—Cut boiled potatoes into half-inch cubes; there should be two cupfuls. Mix one-third of a cupful of grated cheese with one half cupful of white sauce and add to the potatoes. Put into a buttered dish, cover with buttered cracker crumbs and bake until the crumbs are brown. Nellie Maxwell (© by Western Newspaper Union.) There be numbers past compare, Who think what's homemade, best of fare." CANDY A FEW WAYS Everybody likes the old-fashioned candles which mother used to make, such as: Butterscotch. Take one cupful of white sugar, one quarter of a cupful of molasses, one tablespoonful of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of Butterscotch, — Take one cupful of white sugar, one quarter of a cupful of molasses, one tablespoonful of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of boiling water and one-half cupful of butter. Boll the ingredients together until, when tried in cold water, the mixture will be brittle. Turn into a well-buttered pan when slightly cool and mark with a sharp knife into squares. Flavor with a few drops of vanilla before pouring out, if desired. **Chocolate Caramels.**—Put two and one-half tablespoonfuls of butter into a kettle and, when melted, add two cupfuls of molasses, one cupful of brown sugar, one cupful of milk and three squares of chocolate. Boll all together until, when tried in cold water, a firm ball may be made, then add a teaspoonful of vanilla. Turn into a well-buttered pan to cool. Mark off into squares before it is too firm. Sultana Caramels.—Put one-quarter of a cupful of butter into a saucepan; when well melted add two cupfuls of sugar, one-half cupful of milk and one-quarter cupful of molasses. Heat to the boiling point and boil seven minutes. Add two squares of chocolate and stir until the chocolate is melted, then boil seven minutes longer. Remove from the fire, beat until creamy, add one-half cupful of hickory nut meats or walnuts, cut into pieces, and two tablespoonfuls of sultana raisins. Cool slightly and mark off into squares. Peppermints.—Take one and one-half cupfuls of sugar, one-half cupful of boiling water and stir until the sugar is dissolved, then boil ten minutes; remove from the fire, add six drops of peppermint and beat until creamy. Drop from the tip of a spoon on buttered paper. Pralines.—Boil together one and seven-eighths cupfuls of powdered sugar, one cupful of maple slurp, one-half cupful of cream until a soft ball may be formed. Remove from the fire and beat until creamy; add two cupfuls of hickory nuts or pecan meats. Drop into small piles on buttered paper or mold in small gem pans. It is the greatest of all lies that any two human beings can think alike in everything.—Raden Kartini. SAUCES FOR VARIOUS DISHES The appropriate sauce to serve with fish, flesh or fowl is very important to understand. If one has a list of one or two for use with the various foods they will add variety to the menu. CHEF'S TABLE Shrimp Sauce (for Fish). Measure one-third of a cupful of butter and melt half of it; add three tablespoonfuls of flour and cook until smooth and well-blended; then add one pint of boiling water and cook until slightly thickened; when smooth, add the rest of the butter in small pieces and stir until all is absorbed. Add one cupful of shrimps, two teaspoonfuls of lemon juice, one-half teaspoonful of salt and a few dashes of cayenne. Just before taking from the fire add a teaspoonful of kitchen bouquet. Flemish Sauce (for Beef or Veal).—Cook one cupful of finely-cut carrot until tender; drain and reserve one and one-quarter cupfuls of the carrot water. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter; add two tablespoonfuls of flour. When well-blended add the carrot water, boiling hot; stir until slightly thickened. Add the cooked carrot, one tablespoonful of minced pickle, one-half tablespoonful of finely-minced parsley, one tablespoonful of grated horseradish, and salt and pepper to taste. Season with a dash of worcestershire sauce. Oyster Sauce (for Chicken, Turkey or Fish).—Parboll a pint of oysters in their own liquor for a minute, or until their edges curl; drain, saving the liquor. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add two tablespoonfuls of flour; stir and cook, then add the oysters and the liquor, adding water enough to make a pint of both oysters and liquor. Season with tabasco, a teaspoonful of kitchen bouquet; add two more tablespoonfuls of butter in small pieces, until all is melted. Remove from the heat and add a beaten egg yolk. Serve hot. Lobster Butter.—Clean and wipe the coral and force through a fine sieve. Put into a mortar with one-quarter of a cupful of butter; pound until well-blended. Use in lobster soup or sauce to give color. Darioles. Bake a good plain cake in 1 sheet about two and one-half inches thick; cut with a small biscuit cutter into cylinder-shaped pieces; cover with chocolate frosting, then roll in chopped nuts.
