Colorado Statesman

THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY WASHINGTON LETTER (Lincoln News Service.) Washington, Jan. 12.—Possibly no event in recent years has commanded the attention of the colored citizens throughout the country, upon affairs political, as did the splendid teamwork of a few racially alert political leaders, who recently appeared before the Republican National Committee. The concentrated and intelligent effort of these men from the various states is stimulating to the rank and file and serves to emphasize the virtue and necessity of group action. Furthermore, it appears to have marked the beginning of new era of all-around teamwork, a co-operative element which has heretofore been sadly lacking when important questions pertaining to the political welfare of the race have been up for consideration. In keeping with the cardinal principle of the Republican organization, to correct party ills from within rather than from without, the National Committee reconsidered its plan of basing convention representation upon the number of Republican votes cast in each Congressional district, as ordered by the 1920 Chicago convention, and decided that the apportionment of delegates to national conventions must be in absolute harmony with the traditions of the great Republican party. The following statement of Chairman John T. Adams clearly indicates both his personal attitude and that of the committee: "The apportionment of delegates to the 1920 Republican national convention gave every Congressional district—north and south—one delegate, regardless of its Republican strength. As a reward for party activity it gave an additional delegate to every Congressional district casting 7,500 Republican votes in the preceding presidential election. "The apportionment of delegates to the 1924 Republican national convention maintains the principle of giving one delegate to every Congressional district. It does this out of justice to Congressional districts in the south, where the Democratic party refuses a free ballot and an honest count to Republicans, both black and white. "For the Republican party to abandon that principle would be equivalent to its denying Republicans of those southern districts any voice whatever in party convention, because the Democrats had first denied them the right of citizenship at home. This would work a double injustice to Republicans of such districts and would lend encouragement to further disfranchisement of southern Republicans by the dominant Democratic machines of the 'solid south.' "The 1924 apportionment, however, raises from 7,500 to 10,000 the minimum Republican vote necessary to give any Congressional district an additional delegate. This rule gives extra representation in the party conventions to those districts which furnish the Republican vote on election day. In spite of this increase of 2,500 in the basic vote necessary to give any district two delegates, the 'solid south' gains nine district delegates over 1920. This proves a healthy increase of Republican party strength in the south which should be awarded. "Another very important change in the 1924 apportionment is the granting of three additional delegates at large to every state which cast its electoral vote for the Republican party candidate." VOL. XXX Chairman Adams' announcement is heartening to the voters back home, and, as an added joy, there is the full knowledge that the "bunching of hits" by the political gladiators of the race helped to bring about this salutary result. Prosperity Due to Republican Policies (Lincoln Service.) Washington, Jan. 12.—When Henry Ford, who employs a large number of colored wage earners, said: "I am satisfied that 90 per cent of the people feel perfectly safe with Coolidge, and I feel, too, that the country is perfectly safe with him," he gave expression to the thought that is in the minds of most large employers of labor, who are hoping for a continuance of national prosperity. With mines, factories and mills running at capacity production; with labor generally employed; and with business men preparing to make extensions that were retarded on account of the war, then appears to be a settled conviction that this is no time to rock the political boat or to try out national economic theories that have not had the acid test. If full recovery in industrial and financial affairs is desired and if the horrors of unemployment are to be avoided, the machinery of the government must function to the satisfaction of those whose investments of capital in business enterprises make it possible for industrial and financial activity. With 811 out of every 1,000 colored males, ten years of age and over, gainfully employed, and with 389 in each group of 1,000 colored females, ten years of age and over, also gainfully employed, our economic status shows a remarkable improvement, in all sections of the country, over the prevailing condition of but a few years ago. This is reflected in the homebuying activities of the race; in the organization of banking institutions; in the extensions of our insurance companies; in the increase in the number of our retail dealers; in the purchase and building of churches; in the mechanical appearance and increased circulation of our newspapers; and in the exceptionally large number of students attending the various colleges and universities all over the country. In the recent announcement of his political attitude, Mr. Ford said: "Mr. Coolidge has shown in these months of service a great many qualities that should please his countrymen. I think they all feel that Mr. Coolidge means to do right. And when a man means to do right, so far as I have observed, it is usually quite easy for him to find the way to do right." In these words Mr. Ford gave an expert opinion of a remarkably successful business man, an opinion that should cause us to think deeply if we hope for the protection of our citizenship and our further advancement in business and industry. Editor Harry C. Smith and Alderman Tom Fleming of Cleveland will probably have Central avenue fixed up in fine shape for the delegates and visitors who will flock to that city early in June. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1924 SHORT CUTS More females than males reach the age of 100 years and over. The number of colored persons employed in domestic and personal service is decreasing. The nineteenth chapter of Second Kings and the thirty-seventh chapter of Isaiah are exactly alike. As a protection to the passengers, all Pullman porters and dining-car waiters are given physical examinations regularly. Democratic newspapers and orators are no longer complaining about President Coolidge being a "silent man." Also out of the South comes an anti-Ku Klux Klan organization open to every American without reference to sex religion nationality or race. The three Kerrford brothers of Atchison, Kans., own a stone quarry in which they employ twenty-seven men. Recent improvements include a $35,000 machinery equipment. Colored veterans of the World War appear to be more interested in adequate and conveniently located hospitalization facilities for their wounded "buddies" than in the proposed bonus legislation. The president of the Merchants' Association of New York claims that the adoption of the Mellon tax plan will give assurance of prosperity and provide insurance against unemployment. There are approximately 88,000 colored females of voting age in Pennsylvania, 73,000 in New York, 69,000 in Maryland, 61,000 in Illinois, 58,000 in Missouri, 56,000 in Ohio, 38,000 in New Jersey, 25,000 in Indiana, 21,000 in West Virginia and 18,000 each in Kansas and Michigan. The Norfolk Journal and Guide says: "It is extremely doubtful if Mr. McAdoo's popularity with colored people could do much good in a Democratic national election. The bugaboo of the south looms across his horizon. The south of disfranchisement and mobs comes too close to him when he votes a national Democratic ticket. Colored Contralto Soloist Scores with Philharmonic Colored Contralto Soloist Scores with Philharmonic Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 12.—Marian Anderson, a 22-year-old colored girl, of this city, recently scored a heavy hit as contralto solostir with the Philharmonic Society, one of America's leading orchestras. The young artist, who is at present studying with Gluseppe Boghetti, rose to the occasion of her opportunity and, with musicianly sensibility and a voice of quality far above the average, randered a number of outstanding selections. First she offered "O Mio Fernando," from Donizetti's "Favorita." Then she sang two Negro spirituals, "My Lord, What a Mornln," and "Heav'n, Heav'n." Delivering the Donizetti air with tellervor and dramatic emphasis, she passed to the more congenial field of the racial songs in which she was thoroughly at home. These naive ballads she gave in a way that reached and stirred the hearts of all who heard her luscious and resonant voice, with a driving power of art and temperament behind it. The applause, when she finished, came like a sudden blast of gun-fire and continued through so many recalls that it seemed as if a rule must be broken and an encore granted. Mrs. Paul W. Walker Laid to Rest Mrs. Paul W. Walker Laid to Rest Death of Pioneer Woman Mourned by All Classes of Citizens "Friend after friend departs: Who hath not lost a friend? There is no union here of hearts That finds not here an end. Were this frail world our final rest, Living or dying, none were blest." MRS. PAUL W. WALKER, who rigthly belongs to the class of Colorado pioneers, was born in Lexington, Mo., Jan. 15, 1856, accompanying her parents to Independence, Mo., in 1864, thence to Kansas City, Mo., in 1876, afterwards to Canon City, Colo., in May, 1880, finally arriving in Denver in the autumn of the same year, where she resided until her death, which took place at her late residence, 1623 Gillip street, Friday, Dec. 28, 1923. She was the beloved wife of Paul W. Walker, also a pioneer, and lived happily with him for the period of forty-one and one-half years. A devoted wife, consistent and faithful church worker, and leading character in many fraternal circles, Mrs. Walker attained a respect and popularity from all classes of citizens, and the number of telegrams and letters received from all parts of the country by her greatly bereaved husband expressing sorrow and offering words of sympathy over the death of one who led such a long, honorable and useful life in this community, was a full attestation of the esteem in which the deceased was held as well as her outstanding characteristic features in her service to humanity, which made her life a benediction to those whom she unstintingly helped, fostered and encouraged along the journey of life. Her services to the Zion Baptist Church for forty years ("one of the pillars" as she was generally termed) will never be forgotten, and although she was a member of the New Hope Baptist within the past three years she always cherished a warm feeling for its progress. Bearing her last illness with Christian fortitude for nearly two years she finally succumbed to the inevitable—Death, the state through which all mortals must pass are the day of final reckoning. The funeral service, held at Shorter A. M. E. Church last Sunday, was very impressive and largely attended, the spacious edifice being crowded, an evidence of a touching and deserving tribute to this noble pioneer woman who had for so many years taken a recognized part in the church and fraternal activities of Denver. Many different organizations of which the deceased was a member were assigned parts in the funeral and submitted resolutions appropriately attesting the sterling qualities of Mrs. Walker. These included the Lone Star Chapter of the Eastern Star, the Household of Ruth and the New Hope Baptist Church, also Rocky Mountain Lodge, G. U. O. of O. F. No. 2320, of which Mr. Walker is an honored member, offered resolutions befitting the occasion as a mark of respect to their bereaved brother. Rev. John E. Ford, former pastor of the Zion Baptist Church of Denver, now pastoring one of the largest and wealthiest Negro churches in America at Jacksonville, Fla., preached the funeral sermon. Being an old friend of the family, Rev. Ford could speak with definite knowledge and Christian assurance of Mrs. Walker's many rare qualities, giving a profound impressiveness to the service. The floral offerings were many and beautiful, some of the rare pieces having been sent from the Western Newspaper Union and the Stockmen Record where Mr. Walker is employed, and a special tribute representing "the gates ajar" from old friends of Zion. Interment at Fairmount cemetery. She leaves a husband and host of friends to mourn her death. The COLORADO STATESMAN joins this throng in extending heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved. Cammel Undertaking Company were the funeral directors in charge. Dr. Ward Sent To Tuskegee as Chief Surgeon Indianapolis Physician Gets Appointment Through Senator Watson; Has War Record Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 4.—Dr. J. H. Ward of this city was appointed by General Hines director of the United States Veterans' bureau, to be chief of the surgical service of the government hospital for colored soldiers at Tuskegee, Ala. The appointment was made on the recommendation of Senator Watson of Indiana. The senator is quoted as saying to the newspaper men: "I was glad to recommend Maj. Ward because he measures up to the high standard established by the Veterans' bureau in selecting officers for the Tuskegee hospital. It is an appointment based on merit." Maj. Ward is a graduate of the Indiana University Medical School and has had post-graduate work at Long Island College and at Pointee Laboratory and has attended the Negro clinics. He is a member of the Marion County Medical Society and has conducted here for many years the Ward Sanitarium. Dr. Ward attained the rank of major in the Medical Corps of the United States army during the World War. He saw service in the Argonne. He is active in his church and the Y. M. C. A. of Indianapolis. The major will leave for his work within a few days. He will visit every large hospital for disabled soldiers throughout the country, as is said to be ordered by government officials. Cheyenne, Wyo. News Mrs. S. S. Fairly departed for Denver to visit relatives. She is expected home today. Mr. and Mrs. Poole Turner entertained at New Year dinner. This was one of the brilliant functions of the day. The invited guests were: Rev. S. S. Fairly and Mrs. Fairly, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Green, Mr. and Mrs. James Randle, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Peniston, Messrs. Frank McComb and George Hayes. If you miss Sunday morning church service you are missing a sermon worth while.

Million and More For Negro Schools Atlanta Completing Big Building Program— $1,200,000 Involved Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 12.—What is believed to be the most elaborate and expensive colored public school building program ever undertaken by any community is now nearing completion in this city. It embraces four magnificent new grammar schools, seating 800 to 1,000 each, and a high school seating 1,500, the five erected at a cost to date of $1,200,000, with more yet to be spent on finishing touches. These new schools are part of a general school building program involving a total of $3,800,000 and are in every sense equal to the best the city is erecting, representing the last work in construction and equipment. In addition to all the usual modern facilities, each is provided also with medical and dental clinics, where the pupils have the services of physician, dentist and nurse. The high school, which is named for Booker T. Washington, will carry the regular academic curriculum and in addition will provide training in wood work, carpentry, drawing, auto mechanics, sheet metal, plaster and cement work, tailoring, pressing, sewing, cooking, child care and teacher training. The purpose is to give to the pupils an all-round training for life and fit them for useful and remunerative employment immediately on graduation. A director of vocational guidance helps further to this end by personal conferences, lectures, bulletins and lantern slides. The colored schools are sharing fully in the efforts of the administration to bring the city's public school system up to the highest standard of efficiency. Back of this building program is an interesting story of inter-racial co-operation, Atlanta having greatly outgrown its school system, several unsuccessful efforts were made to vote a bond issue for new buildings. It was found that the colored voters held the balance of power and had thrown it against the plan. City officials asked white members of the local inter-racial committee why this was so. The latter arranged a conference with leading colored citizens and the question was passed to them. They promptly repiled: "Why should we vote taxes on ourselves when we have no assurance that we will get any of the benefits." The rest was easy. An agreement was readily reached that if they would help carry the next bond election, their schools should have approximately one-third of the proceeds. That agreement is now being carried out. Wm.

FOREIGN Discussing the resolution introduced by Representative Frear, which calls for a congressional inquiry into his administration, Gov. Gen. Leonard Wood, declared in a statement to press representatives in Manila that he would welcome such an investigation, and, he added, "I hope they'll hew to the line and let the chips fall where they may." Belated news of the capture by Tibetan hordes in mid November of the remote Chinese town of Batang, in the western part of the province of Szechwan, near the Tibetan frontier, has reached Peking. According to a telegram from Chungkeng, Szechwan, the town was taken Nov. 17. The leaders, the message says, assured the American missionaries, the only missionaries there, that they would not be molested. With last minute changes in several posts, the cabinet of the new premier of Japan, Viscount Kiyoura, finally was completed. Opposition to the appointment of Baron Fujimura, a retired businessman, as foreign minister led the premier to proffer that portfolio to Baron Keishiro Matsui, former ambassador to Paris, who announced that he had accepted it. Baron Fujimura, however, remains in the cabinet, being shifted to the ministry of communications. Scores of bear, deer, mountain lions and other denizens of the wild were washed down Rio Yaquil and Rio Mayo in the recent floods which swept mountain recesses of Sonora following heavy rains in the south, according to dispatches received in Nogales. Torrential rains caught the fleet-footed animals before they could escape and they were engulfed in the torrent and swept down to sea in the raging waters. Many cattle also were drowned, it is reported. In a great demonstration in Albert hall in London the British Labor party celebrated its victories in the recent general elections and pledged its united efforts to constructive work toward rehabilitation of Great Britain, Europe and the world at large, if called upon, as seems a certainty within ten days, to assume the task of governing the British empire. "We have been in the battle and we have brought back the trophies," said J. Ramsay MacDonald, the party leader and principal speaker. On the platform were seated most of the 1923 Labor members of the House of Commons. GENERAL The American Museum of Natural History in New York City, which has a world corner on the dinosaur egg market, has decided to sell to the highest bidder, for not less than $5,000, one of the twenty-five fossilized eggs of the protoceratops Andrews, unearthed in Mongolia last July by Prof. Roy Chapman Andrews, curator-in-chief of the division of exploration and research. Shipment of arms from the United States to the De la Huerta revolutionary group in Mexico is being discouraged by the administration as against the policy of the American government. The attitude of this government on the question was sent to the Department of Justice agents in New Orleans after a conference between officials of the attorney general's office and of the State Department. Suit for $1,000,000 damages against the Fort Worth Press by Dr. Frederick A. Cook, former Arctic explorer, was dismissed in District Court at Fort Worth, Tex. The suit filed last February followed publication of a story in which the Press was alleged to have referred to Cook as a "fakir, flim-flammer and fraud artist. Cook was recently convicted in Federal Court on oil stock selling fraud charges. The Toyo Kisen Kaisha, one of the largest Japanese steamship companies, announced today that after Feb. 4 its passenger vessels no longer would call at Philippine ports. The increasing competition of American ships was said to be the principal reason. The vessels have been operating on routes connecting Manila with other far eastern ports. Farm organizations did over a two thousand million dollars business in 1923, the Department of Agriculture announced a few days ago. The estimates are based upon reports from 6,639 organizations which did a total business of $1,200,000,000. Additional reports are yet to be received, and if the average is maintained the total will exceed two billion. Senate disclosures in the Teapof Dome inquiry at Washington recently to the effect that less than 5 per cent of the stock of the Mammoth Oil Company, a Sinclair subsidiary, was in the hands of the public, led to an order suspending trade in the stock by the listing committee of the New York curb market. The company was incorporated in Wyoming on August 19, 1922. Upward of a dozen deat resulted in one day last week from one of the most severe cold waves which has swept the entire country in years, disrupting transportation and communication and causing untold suffering. The north central section of the United States was the greatest sufferer from the cold, Chicago and Illinois having low marks which have not been passed since 1905, while Kansas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Minnesota and Iowa also reported exception- al cold. 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 Ashton Harvey, who dropped dead while playing a golf twosome with John D Rockefeller at Ormond Bench, Fla., was well known in New York business and social life. He retired from practice of law several years ago. Mr. Harvey had been Mr. Rockefeller's winter golf companion on numerous occasions. With street car accidents in Los Angeles averaging more than 2,000 a month and the Los Angeles Railway Company's claim department paying more than $300,000 in the last year, the traction company has started a series of meetings to promote effective accident prevention among its trainmen. A mammoth redwood, measuring twenty-three feet across the butt and seventy feet in circumference, was cut in the redwood forest near Crescent City, Calif., on the Redwood highway. The tree, which was 300 feet tall, was the largest ever cut by the saw mill operating in this vicinity. It will furnish 250,000 feet of lumber. *An investigation is under way in Los Angeles by fire and county officials to determine the cause of the fire which razed four blocks of the Ocean Park pleasure zone, doing damage estimated at $4,000,000. The fire is reported to have started in a small fish market in a row of one-story buildings near Pier avenue, from a stove. George A. Rooth, sales manager for a milling company in San Francisco, shot and killed himself as police detectives were entering his apartment to take him into custody in connection with serious injuries sustained by Heber Tilden, clubman, who was struck by an automobile when he alighted from a street car in the residence district. Policies of the "Benevolent Insurance Company," protecting bootleggers from loss through prohibition officers' raids, have been discovered at Arroyo Grande, near San Luis, Obispo, Calif., Constable C. C. Mahan reported. The shy bootlegger, not so trusting as he once was, however, is reported to be suspicious that the insurance is one of the schemes of dry officers to get information. WASHINGTON All interested government departments were represented at the hearing before Albert B. Fall, as Secretary of the Interior, which resulted in the allocation to the state of California of Section 36, naval oil reserve No. 1, according to testimony before the Senate Public Lands Committee. That section has been described by experts as holding the most valuable oil lands The United States Supreme Court has held constitutional the excess earnings clause of the transportation act of 1920. The clause in question was the much disputed one which provides one-half of a railroad's income over and aboxe 6 per cent on its valuation shall be placed in a fund within the control of the government and the other half retained by the railroad in a trust fund. Senator Phipps, Republican, Colorado, presented to the Senate a petition signed by several thousand Colorado residents urging modification of the Volstead act to permit manufacture and sale of light wines and beer. The economic condition of the farmer has improved considerably, according to the committee on statistics of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States and his outlook for 1924 is even more hopeful. The committee, in a semi-annual review of business conditions, attributes the agricultural improvement chiefly to the diminished spread between prices for farm products and for manufactured articles. Gold production in the United States in 1923 totaled $51,378,700, an increase of $25,555,600 over 1922 and the largest annual output since 1919, the bureau of the mint announced a few days ago. The silver production was valued at $59,541,184, a 29 per cent increase over 1922. The figure has been exceeded only in 1915 and 1916. The country's record gold production was mined in 1915, with a value of $101,035,700. Reports reaching Laredo, Texas, tell of a three-hour gun battle in Duvall county, northwest of Laredo, on the American side, state that members of the Mexican rebel army who had fled into the United States were completely routed by United States customs officers, who believed the Mexicans to be bandit rum-runners. The petition of the Ku Klux Klan for a review of its suit to restrain Hearst's International Magazine from publishing documents, lists of members and other confidential data of the klan was denied by the Supreme Court. LATE NEWS From All Over COLORADO LATE NEWS From All Over COLORADO Denver.—Fire of an unknown origin completely destroyed the grain elevator of the Summint Grain Company here. The damage is estimated at between $25,000 and $30,000 Colorado Springs.—Denver will get the next convention of the Colorado Association of Real Estate Boards, according to a decision of the convention which closed here recently. Denver.—District Judge Dunkle sentenced Alfred Bring, truck driver whose car knocked down and killed William F. Hoover, six weeks old, and who had plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter, to sixty days in the county jail. Holyoke. — Former Congressman Benjamin Hilliard of Denver announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for the long term United States senatorship before a meeting of Phillips county farmers here last week. Fort Collins.-The prediction that all of the area between Fort Collins and the Wellington oil field would be dotted with oil derricks within the next two years was made by C. S. Sherman, Colorado manager for the Union Oil Company, to a party of Greeley men. Golden.-In a motion filed before Judge Samuel W. Johnson in the District Court, Herbert M. Munroe and S. D. Crump, attorneys for A. H. Mitchell, who was found guilty recently of the slaying of Mrs. Georgia Bryan and Andrew Sherie, asked for a new trial for their client. Denver.—The L. R. Steel department store has closed permanently. The residue of the stock of merchandise from the sale conducted during the past two weeks was sold in lots to several Denver merchants, and the Steel building was turned over to its new owners, the Ritz-Carlton Company, which consists of Horace N. Bennett and Charles Boettcher. Denver.—The largest gasoline tax in history was raised by the state last year, and one-half of the total amount, $455,526.86, was forwarded a few days ago by State Auditor Arthur M Stong to sixty-two counties Denver county being the only one not entitled to participate. Under the state law, one-half of the 2-cent gasoline tax goes to counties for road construction and the other half to the state highway department. Fort Morgan.—The holiday season this year marks the opening of an era of prosperity in Morgan county which will prove to be one of the best in a decade, is the opinion of Ray White, secretary of the Morgan County Credit Rating Association. Merchants, bankers and farmers are optimistic, which is the first indication of better times. Mr. White says. "The factor that has cleared the air more than anything else is the settlement of the controversy between the beet growers and he Great Western Sugar Company." Mr. White asserts. "Growers generally are talking of improved prospects for their beet crop next year and many have already declared their intention of increasing their beet acreage. It looks as though 1924 will witness a new record so far as the beet crop is concerned. "I find that bankers are making final arrangements with the farmers to provide backing for the coming year. Bankers predict that next year will find the farmers in good financial condition. Merchants report that the debts contracted the past year, which have not been settled, are the exception rather than the rule. Practically the only debts which will be carried over are long-standing ones which, for the most part, have been materially reduced." Kiowa. — Twenty-five automobiles and all the equipment in the Kiowa Garage were destroyed in a fire recently. The total loss will be about $25,000, and T. F. Williams, owner of the garage, said he had $3,000 insurance. Greeley.—With registration for the winter quarter, students training at Colorado State Teachers College to become school teachers will pass the 1,200 mark for the year, considerably in excess of the total enrollment for the full three quarters of the college year for 1922-23. In the midst of preparation for the winter quarter administration officials have been making extensive preparations for the next summer quarter. An innovation will be extensive registration by mail. This was attempted in a small way last year but the plan was started late—too late to accomplish much. A complete working plan for mall registration will be put into effect early this year. President Crabbe expects to return to his office soon after the opening of the winter quarter. He has been confined to his home ever since his return from Oklahoma, where he was taken seriously slick early in November. Greeley.—O. H. Shoup, former governor of Colorado, will drill a well near Johnstown in Weld county in search for oil, sinking to a depth until the Dakota sands, found by the Union Oil Company on the Wellington dome, are reached, it is reported. Mr. Shoup has taken a lease on 2,400 acres west of Johnstown, which includes some of the best farms in the Sunnyside district near Twin Mounds. The land is crossed by a branch of the Great Western railway. The land will be thoroughly prospected and developed for oil. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS Limon.—Practically the entire business district of Limon was wiped out a few days ago by fire, which started from a defective flue. The loss is estimated at $150,000. Four buildings, the largest in Limon, have been razed and thousands of dollars' worth of merchandise have been destroyed. The H. O. Ellis Drug Company and the C. C. Hord Company suffered the largest losses. The fire raged for hours, assisted by a high wind, before being put under control by the local fire department, assisted by equipment of the Rock Island railroad and some 200 or 300 citizens. When the fire threatened the entire city, Mayor J. T. Osborne ordered the buildings surrounding the burning area wrecked. After removing the contents of the Lundy Shoe Store, which was located next to the burning buildings, a number of citizens began razing the structure. The building, which is a frame, was later dragged away by a large truck when the blaze came too close for the citizens to continue tearing it down. A. C. Sinclair, president of the First National Bank, and Town Marshal Marlow narrowly escaped death while fighting the fire, when a wall in one of the burning buildings collapsed. They were only slightly hurt. The fire was difficult to combat, having started between walls. It gained considerable headway before the alarm was turned in. Beside the Ellis Drug Company and the C. C. Hord Company, a large apartment house and several small buildings were destroyed. Saguache. — Nina Klimberlin, 16 years old, was killed instantly and her brother Ernest, 18 years old, and another girl, Pearl Adamson, 16 years old, were pinned under an overturned car in which they were riding for fourteen hours recently during a blinding snow storm that assumed the proportions of a blizzard. They were found by a passing motorist, who summoned aid and removed them from beneath the wrecked car. The trio had left Saguache for Mineral Hot Springs. The accident occurred thirteen miles east of Saguache. The car was wrecked in a gully, overturning, killing the Klimberlin girl instantly and holding her brother and his companion prisoners. An examination of their injuries failed to show any broken bones, and aside from exposure, they suffered but little. Persons who found them declared that but for the fact that they had been pinned under the car during the entire night, they undoubtedly would have frozen to death. Denver.—More than 1,700 individual animals—purebreds all—have been entered in the single classes for the 18th annual National Western Stock Show, Denver, January 19 to 26, 1924. Exhibitors from twenty-two states are represented. These animals include a famous array of 1923 champions and grand champions. Crystal Mischief, three times grand champion Hereford female in 1923, and Ken Caryl, Hereford bull sensation of eastern show rings, will be seen in the Ken Caryl Ranch Company's showing. The $15,000 Harrison Aberdeen-Angus bull, grand champion at the 1923 Chicago International, has been entered. Shorthorns from eleven states will compete for red, roan and white honors. The Denver Stock Show is the purebred show window of the United States. Pueblo.—Undaunted by a 3-inch snow and by temperatures around the zero mark, a large number of Pueblo men wore straw hats on New Year's day in keeping with the mayor's proclamation, issued several days ago when he declared that January 1 should be straw-hat day in Pueblo. This proclamation was issued in token of the usual mild weather experienced in this community at New Year's time. The oddity of the occasion was the combination of overcoats, heavy gloves, ear laps and other such accessories that accompanied the summer headgear. Denver.—The first step toward rehabilitation of mining in Clear Creek, Gilpin and Boulder counties was taken here last week when the Denver branch of the Colorado Metal Mining Association adopted a resolution calling upon the state association to name a committee "to inquire into and recommend measures that will lead to the rehabilitation of the mining industry in Colorado with special reference to the northern counties without marketing facilities within reasonable distance." Fort Collins.—L. C. Moore, president of the First National Bank of Fort Collins, was appointed administrator of the estate of the late Attorney General Russell W Fleming, who died at his home here Christmas day. Appointment was made by the County Court on application of Mrs. Dorothy Fleming, the late attorney general's widow, and Georgia Fleming, his daughter Fort Morgan.—Work on the dismantling of the old Fort Morgan light and power plant, the machinery of which will be shipped to the University hospital at Denver, has began. Turbines, boilers and motors will be shipped soon. Twenty-two thousand dollars were paid for the equipment. Denver.—Removing a screen from a bathroom window on the second floor of the county hospital while an officer stood guard outside the door, clinging to the window sill in a sub-zero temperature and finally dropping twelve feet onto a fire escape chute and sliding to the ground, were the means used for escape from the custody of the police by Raymond McCoy, 22, who was arrested Dec. 23, on a charge of robbing the collection box at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.

COMPLICATED BY THE BONUS By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington. — A representative in congress, after looking at the pile of mail on his desk the other morning, said: "If there is any taxpayer in the United States who has not written in behalf of a reduction of taxes, I would like to know his name. He deserves the Congressional Medal of Honor." Secretary Mellon's tax reduction plan cannot become a party issue unless one or the other of the two great political organizations forces it to take on issue form. There are Democrats and Republicans who take exception to some of the suggestions made in Mr. Mellon's proposal, but they take no exception at all to the suggestion that taxes shall be cut. In congress, however, while the thing is not strongly a party issue, there is a row on over the subject. The secretary of the treasury said specifically in a communication written some time ago that the country could not pay a bonus and at the same time reduce taxes. In a second communication Mr. Mellon outlined his plan for tax reduction and said in effect that if it were incorporated into a law, the wage earners of the country, which of course includes salaried men, would have their income taxes cut 44 per cent. Inasmuch as the men who for services rendered get pay checks once a week, or once a month, are numbered by the millions, it readily can be understood how joyfully this message of Secretary Mellon's was received throughout the land. If the letters and the telegrams received at the White House, at the Treasury department, and at the capitol form a basis of judgment, it can be said that the salaried people are unanimous in behalf of the Mellon plan. Some Say Both Are Possible. Now there are a lot of things standing in the way of the success of the Mellon plan in congress. Just at this writing the adjusted compensation bill and the tax reduction bill are struggling for precedence. There are senators and representatives who say that the bonus can be granted and tax reduction secured along with it, but there are others who say that the thing "can't be did." However, congress apparently is going to try to do the two things. Once again a sales tax has been proposed as a means of taking care of the payment to the veterans in case the house and senate shall pass the measure over the presidential veto. Senator Smoot of Utah is one of the chief champions of the sales tax. If such a tax shall be authorized it is said that it will add about one-eighth of one per cent to the cost of ordinary purchases in the stores, "a tax so small that nobody will feel it." The opponents of the sales tax, however, say that while one-eighth of one per cent means nothing to a man or woman when a small purchase is made, it will mean a lot to them when they come to add up the amounts of their purchases at the end of a year. In other words, the opponents of the sales tax say it is a sort of camouflage tax and that it will get in its work just the same even if during the days of passing purchases it is not noticed. Veto by Coolidge Is Certain. There is no evidence that the President intends in any way to recede from the position which he has taken on the bonus and which he outlined in his speech to congress. Therefore, it is just as certain today that a veto will come as it was on another day, and it also is just as certain that congress will pass a bonus bill and give the President a chance to enter his forbidding objection. It still is unsafe to prophesy definitely what will happen in the senate when the bonus measure comes back to it from the White House with the disapproval mark on it. Senator Smoot the other day said there were enough votes in the senate to pass the measure over the presidential veto. There are other senators, however, who think to the contrary. The hope of the persons who are opposed to the enactment of an adjusted compensation law is that, when the tax reduction bill is outlined definitely and it becomes apparent that the taxes cannot be cut in accordance with the measure unless the bonus is defeated, senatorial sentiment will shift and that the President's veto will be allowed to stand. A member of congress the other day paraphrased an old rhyme thus: "Taxation is vexation and the bonus is as bad." This seems to sum up the situation so far as congress is concerned. Virtually every member in the house and most of the members in the senate desire to pass the bonus bill and desire at the same time that there shall be tax reduction. They find themselves wishing today that adjusted compensation might have been put up to the veterans of the service for a referendum vote. South Dakota's Law Puzzling. Washington still seems to be confused over the South Dakota law governing entries into the presidential primaries contest. Confessedly no South Dakotan in official life here understands thoroughly the ins and outs of the statutes. About the only thing that seemingly is known definitely by the friends of the candidates of both parties is that it is necessary before New Year's day to make official declaration of their intentions to the authorities of the state. One of the somewhat amusing features of the case is that some of the men who do not understand the South Dakota law in its entirety are lawyers who have made a study of it for some years. Things are not quite as cloudy as they were four years ago in the primary laws of South Dakota. If they were, then President Coolidge and Senator Johnson would be compelled to go there in person, or by proxy, to debate some proposed subject before the voters assembled in a sort of a state meeting at Pierre. Four years ago Gen. Leonard Wood was compelled to make a winter trip to Pierre; S. D., to debate with Senator Poindexter, who was a minority candidate for the presidential nomination and who, through some curious construction of the law was allowed as memory has it, to appear not only as his own champion, but as that of Frank O. Lowden and of Hiram W. Johnson. Senator Norbeck of South Dakota tells me that the provision of the law which requires the presidential candidates to debate some question or other before the voters has been repenled. Why This Primary Is Important. Why This Primary Is Important. The primary in South Dakota has a significance far beyond that which comes to it from the number of delegates which the state sends to the national convention. It is the first state to hold a presidential primary and therefore the victor in the case gets the prestige which comes from a first success. Every effort, therefore, will be made by the friends of the President and by the friends of Senator Johnson to make good in South Dakota. Four years ago General Wood clinched his primary victory in South Dakota by the impression which he made at the debate at Pierre. The meeting at the state capital was a picturesque affair and it had a rather dramatic ending. Your correspondent was present at the debating contest between Wood and Poindexter. The latter is a trained parliamentarian and debater. General Wood knew nothing about parliamentary nor debating tactics, but he won the day, or rather the evening, through a curious misunderstanding on the part of Senator Poindexter of the temper and the temperament of the audience. The time was divided between the two contestants. One led off and talked for fifteen minutes and the other responded for a like time. Then there were two ten-minute allotments to give and take and then each had five minutes to sum up. Wood's Defeat or Poingexter. The trend of Senator Poindexter's address was against anything looking like American participation in European affairs. General Wood was for a League of Nations with the reservations which at that time had been put forward by certain senate leaders. The senator made the error of intimating that America ought to keep out of Europe in every way and what he said sounded as if he was asking the people of South Dakota if they wanted their money to go to feed people over on the other side of the water. Just at that time there was suffering among the women and children in the Far East. When the senator had said his say General Wood went to the platform front and addressing the audience said: "If the people of South Dakota are willing to see women and children starve to death when it is within the means of America to save them, I do not want their votes in the presidential primary." Then, so to speak, the roof went off. The sentiment of the audience seemingly was for Wood. Senator Norbeck of South Dakota who four years ago was for General Wood for the presidential nomination is today for Senator Hiram W. Johnson. The President, however, has several South Dakotans who hold official positions as workers in his behalf. Running to Fires Dangerous. A schooner tied to a dock at South Amboy, N. J., recently was being loaded with powder from railroad cars when a fire, started on board ship. The flames spread to the powder and caused an explosion. The freight cars on the sliding were set on fire and the glare of the flames attracted hundreds of motorists who headed in that direction. A dozen automobiles became jammed into a passageway beneath the railroad tracks. More freight cars of powder exploded, killing three of the trapped motorists and seriously injuring about twenty others. This is a result of the habit of running to fires. Older Than the Law. A salesmanlike looking inspector was surprised to find a dirty roller towel in the washroom. Indignantly he said to the landlord: "Don't you know that it has been against the law for years to put up a roller towel in this state?" "Sure, I know it," replied the proprietor, "but no ex-post facto law goes in Kansas, and that there towel was put up before the law was passed."—Topeka Capital. Nile River Very Low. The Nile river has been lower this year than ever before known in modern times, seriously curtailing the irrigation of the Egyptian cotton crop. SINKSSUBMARINE IN SEA COLLISION BRITISH UNDERSEA CRAFT GOES DOWN NEAR ENGLISH CHANNEL ALL ON BOARD LOST FORTY-THREE MEMBERS OF THE CREW TRAPPED AT BOTTOM OF SEA Weymouth, England.—The British submarine L-24 was sent to the bottom of the sea by the dreadnought Resolution, with which she was in collision, the disaster, which occurred off Portland, was similar to one which happened two years ago when the K-5 was sunk. So far as known all on board the L-24, numbering forty-three, perished. Details are somewhat meager, but it seems that the Atlantic fleet was leaving Weymouth in various groups, including several submarines, for the spring cruise, when the Resolution, belonging to the Royal Sovereign class rammed the L-24, which was a minelaying vessel, and had fourteen live mines aboard. The accident occurred in a fog, when the vessels had opened out in the channel. Another report says that the collision occurred when a combined attack on the fleet was being carried by submarines from Portland, Portsmouth and Plymouth. The L-24 sank immediately, and although salvage vessels hurried to the split and the whole area was searched by the mine-sweeping flotilla, no trace of the illfated vessel was found. After the disaster the Resolution returned to Portland harbor, where she will be examined by divers at daybreak. This was not the only accident, for the submarines K-2 and K-12 also collided near the same place, both being slightly damaged. The admiralty has issued a list of the names of those aboard the L-24, which, unfortunately, carried a much larger crew than customary, many extra men being aboard for training purposes. The king has telegraphed a message of condolence and sympathy for the relatives of the crew. Weymouth, England.—The collision which sent the submarine L-24 to the bottom occurred on the departure of the Atlantic fleet from Portland, while the fleet was maneuvering in the channel. All available salvage vessels were sent to the spot. It was said here that the crew of the L-24 probably exceeded thirty in number, because there were special men on board for training. A similar tragedy occurred on the departure of the fleet from Weymouth three years ago, when the submarine K-5 was lost. Poincare Re-elected Paris.—No party can boast of a victory in the senatorial election, the complexion of the Senate virtually being unchanged. The almost unanimous election of M. Poincaré for the Meuse gave evidence of the high personal prestige which the premier enjoys among his countrymen Insurrectors Seize Mining Town Mexico City. The capture of Pacchuca, capital of the most important mining town in the nearby state of Hidalgo, by rebellious forces under Generals Marcial Cavazos, Nicolas Flores and Otillo Villegas, was confirmed by the War Department. Hurricane Sweeps Alabama Birmingham, Ala.—The plant of the Johnson-Thompson Steel Company was partially destroyed and a dozen homes were damaged and much property loss incurred by high winds which struck the south side of the city. No one was seriously injured. The storm, which assumed cyclonic proportions in some sections, damaged the Ullman school and blew down a steel tower used in the building of an apartment house. Trees and telephone and electric wires were blown down. Probe Leonard Woods Oil Deals Fort Worth, Texas.—Federal investigation into the operations of Leonard Wood, Jr., and his Craven Oil Company has been under way for ten days, Morgan Griswold, division chief postal inspector, stated here. Griswold declared that his final report on the Craven Company, of which Wood was president, would not be completed for several weeks. He refused to divulge accomplishments of his inspectors at this time. Separatist Chief Slain Speyer, Germany.—The Separatist government in the Rhineland palatinate proclaimed a state of siege following an outbreak of shooting in a restaurant when four persons, including Heinz Orbis, leader of the Secessionists, were killed. Three other persons were wounded. The assailants, all masked, drove up to the restaurant in an automobile and began firing. Orbis fell from his chair at the first volley. He was dead when help reached him. DEADLOCK IN SENATE BROKEN FOUR MEMBERS DESERT RE- PUBLICAN RANKS ENDING FIVE WEEKS' DEADLOCK SMITH BEATS CUMMINS INSURGENTS HELP DEMOCRATS CARRY SENATE, AND MINORITY WINS VICTORY Washington.—A Democrat, Ellison D. Smith of South Carolina, was elected by the Senate as chairman of its Interstate Commerce Committee, one of the ranking committees of the new Republican Congress. Four insurgent Republicans and the two Farmer-Labor senators threw their support to Smith, thus not only breaking a deadlock which has existed since Dec 10, but also giving the country convincing manifestation that their control of the balance of power in the Senate is as complete as is that of the Republican insurgents in the House. On the thirty-second and final ballot of the deadlock, Albert B Cummins of Iowa, who had the indorsement of the Republican organization for re-election, received only twenty-nine votes, as against thirty-nine for Smith and six for Senator Couzens, Republican, Michigan, who had been the third choice of the insurgents. Smith received only one vote more than the necessary majority of the seventy-four senators voting. With the deadlock broken, organization of the Sixty-eighth Congress is complete except for an expected fight over the office of senator president pro tem. With the Iowa senator deposed from the chairmanship of the committee which handles railroad legislation, the insurgents have indicated they would support him for re-election as president pro tem, but there have been rumblings of some opposition from the Republican organization. Whether Senator Cummins remains as a member of the Interstate Commerce Committee, which handles railroad legislation, was questioned in the Senate by some of the insurgents. Republican organization leaders hold, however, that he is a member despite his defeat for the chairmanship. On the ballot which elected Senator Smith, one Democrat, Bruce of Maryland, voted for Senator Cummins as he had done since early in the deadlock when the insurgents threw their strength to the South Carolina senator. Republicans voting for Smith were: Brookhart, Iowa; Frazier and Ladd, North Dakota, and La Follette, Wisconsin; Senator Norris, Nebraska, another of the insurgent bloc, continued to vote for Couzens, as did Senator Gooding, Idaho; Capper, Kansas; Howell, Jones, Washington, and Norbeck, South Dakota. Two Killed in Battle in Everglades Two Killed in Battle in Everglades West Palm Beach, Fla.—Two men were killed and a woman was injured during a clash between officers and citizens and a band of outlaws in the Florida Everglades, twenty-six miles north of here. Possess of several hundred citizens and officers are searching the swamp lands for escaped members of the band known as the "Ashley gang." Deputy Sheriff Fred Baker, 35, was shot and killed and Joe W. Ashley, member of the gang, died from gunshot wounds. Panamaia Murder Nineteen Soliders Manila—Nineteen Philippine constabulary soldiers, including two officers, have been killed by religious fanatics believed to be members of the Colorum, a non-political society, on Bucas island, it is officially stated in constabulary advices from Surigao, on the Island of Mindanao, received here. Two hundred additional constabulary have been sent to Surigao. Only four of the party of twenty-three constabulary men which went to the island escaped. The cause of the clash and the weapons used by the fanatics are unknown here, but they are presumed to have had only a few firearms. $100,000 Army Suit Dropped Newburgh, N. Y.—The suit brought by Maj. Malcolm Wheeler Nicholson against Brig. Gen. Fred Sladen, superintendent of the United States Military academy at West Point, for $100,000 damages, was dismissed by Justice Seegar in specul term of State Supreme Court here today. No opposition was offered to the dismissal. McDonald Addresses Parliament McDonald Addresses Parliament London.—Ramsay MacDonald's address in Albert hall, in which he informed his Laborite compatriots, and through them the nation at large, that if he should be made premier his policy would be one of peace at home and abroad, is interpreted as indicating that the Labor party will proceed conservatively and slowly, with no inclination to press the extreme articles of the Labor platform. The meeting was a serious affair, even though the audience loudly sang "The Red Flag" and failed to sing "God Save the King."

This has been the question of centuries. There are now in the world 700 distinct religious denominations. Can they be confederated in one body for service and ministry? This is the paramount question that is puzzling religious leaders today. That there is a closer fellowship now than formerly no one can doubt. We all know the time when Baptist would not tolearte a Methodist in their pulpit and visa versa, but that day is past, never to return we hope. Two great organizations within the church and two without it are object lessons of how such a unity can and may be affected. First The Christian Endeavor Society where young people from several denominations unite for organized effort and second, The County, State, National and International Sunday School conventions show how such an effort could be brought about without friction. The organizations without the church are the Y. M. C. A. and Woman's Christian Temperance Union, both of these are a combination of church efforts outside of all denominational lines, not for the study of doctrines which cannot be harmonized but on the plane of wide and practical sympathy as outlined on the Jerichio road when the good Samaritan heeded the call—not of one of his nationality or creed but of stricken humanity. Such a federation would be one of the best means also of breaking down race prejudice as well as creed or doctrinal prejudice, and hasten forward the grand doctrine of "The Brotherhood of Man."

Amendment to the constitution of hypocrisy these days, heeman from Georgia takes us that a solid Democratic state today and all the times and alone because of law no GEORGIA is being heard from again. This is nothing new for Georgia is forever getting in the limelight and in this instance, as on former outbreaks the calcium glow reveals strange things and shows the monster cracker state to be a pigmy alongside the real sovereign states of the union. Long looked upon and recognized as the premier commonwealth for mob violence and lynchings, the confessed birth place of present day Ku Kluxism and its trail of blood, Georgia now steps forward as the proven breeding ground for political clowns and hypocrites. We have often wished that Georgia could keep its public circus performers and buffoons as securely within her own borders as she does her crime record. To the humiliation of the nation, no matter how exulting it may be to the state, some of her native sons get in the halls of Congress, though it has never been demonstrated that they possess even mediocre caliber for such a high and mighty place. A few days ago one of the Georgian members of the National House of Representatives embraced a means of attracting public attention that may prove very embarrassing if followed to its logical end. He signed a pledge and in doing so subscribed as follows: "Whereas, good government demands obedience to law, I will stand for enforcement of all laws, including the prohibition of the liquor traffic. I here now in the presence of Almighty God and my colleagues, sign this pledge." Yes, good government unquestionably demands obedience to the law and he is the more fit to stand within the great halls of the national Congress who will stand for the enforcement of all laws. Representative Upshaw admittedly pulled a great boner on himself when he signed that pledge in the presence of "Almighty God," however well it may have set with his colleagues. With law enforcement in Georgia strictly adhered to, there would doubtless be a far different political brand placed upon its congressional representatives. We have ample reasons to opine that Mr. Upshaw himself would not be there. Strict law enforcement in Georgia would confront her statesmen with the awkward provisions of the Fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States that "no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Perhaps Mr. Upshaw had no knowledge of such a provision contained in the constitution when he stood in the presence of the Almighty and signed that pledge. Georgia's illiteracy record is so appalling as to readily justify any claim of ignorance of the law he might make. Surely he could not have known that a strict enforcement of all laws would demand that "the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." Accept this doctrine as one of the demands of good government to which obedience should be made and the political complexion of the Georgia delegation in Congress would be vastly different. Of course, the pseudo statesman knew he was taking no chances by making a solemn oath in the presence of his colleagues for they are in the same boat with him, and the state of Georgia has pursued its criminal tendency so long without any visible evidences of providential disapproval that he no doubt felt a certain security even though playing fast and loose with the Almighty. The eighteenth amendment to the constitution is furnishing some illuminating evidences of hypocrisy these days, but the stunt of signing the pledge by the gentleman from Georgia takes the blue ribbon. Every American citizen knows that a solid Democratic delegation represents the odoriferous cracker state today and all the time, not because of law enforcement, but solely and alone because of law nullification.

Doug's protege is Sammy Baker, who weighs 230 pounds in training, is 20 years old, six feet four inches tall, and has an eighty-four-inch reach. Baker has been kept under cover for eighteen months, undergoing special training and grooming for a professional ring career—all at the expense of the great film star, who believes he has a champion of champions under his wing. The discovery of Baker makes a dramatic story. He blew into film-land from Oklahoma and was lucky enough to land at a time when colored actors were in demand to play parts in the "Thief of Bagdad." Baker was selected at once by the casting director to play the part of an African chief. Fairbanks saw him and was so impressed by the man's gigantic size, his grace of movement and his youth that he turned him over to a professional boxing instructor for an opinion as to his natural ability. Has Shown Real Punch The report was good, and the actor decided to finance his education as a fighter. For nearly two years Baker has been working with the greatest enthusiasm and in the past three months in eight private tryouts against professional heavyweights, Baker is said to have wone five of the goes with first round knockouts and three with knockouts in the second round. Critical observers of ring affairs have looked Baker over and believe that he shows a lot more than did Harry Wills when the brown panther was making a reputation out on the west coast. His education has been completed, and the chances are that he will shortly come East to show his wares to the fans. Newest "Black Hope" Weighs 230 Pounds New York, Jan. 4.—On Friday, Dec. 28, the A. I. Hart & Co. 5, 10 and 25-cent store, the largest store of its kind in Harlem, was taken over by receivers on an involuntary plea of bankruptcy. This marked the passing of another great enterprise undertaken by members of the race on a co-operative basis. It was founded a year ago when Mr. Hart, the manager, succeeded in getting enough capital through a syndicate method to float the business and form a corporation. According to information given out by the manager on the day that proceedings were started against the firm, the store has fought a losing battle due to indifference of those upon whom it depended and for many days had been losing upwards of $40 daily. Every effort was made by those in charge to stem the crash, but it was impossible to hold out against the great overhead. At the time that deputies were taking charge of the property members of the stockholders were holding a special meeting in Montserrat hall, 207 West 137th street. Mr. Hart, who did not arrive until a late hour, apologized for his tardiness by explaining that the store had been seized just as he was about to close for the day and he had been detained making a report to the receivers. He then went on to explain that he had done everything in his power to make the business successful, but that conditions were against him. At the close of his talk the stockholder adopted a resolution to the effect that they did not hold their manager at fault for the state of affairs and that they were planning a banquet in his honor for the very near future. They also went so far as to assure Mr. Hart that they stood ready to back him in another similar project if he cared to undertake one. When all reports were made and all outstanding debts were checked up, Mr. Hart assured the men that he believed it possible that they would receive at least a part of their money back. At the close of the meeting many of the stockholders hastened to assure their president personally of their confidence in his integrity and honesty. Front room for rent, upstairs.

When he returned he found he had lost a sixpence. He looked everywhere for it, but in vain. That night, when retiring, the coin fell out of the fold. The next day he had all his trousers "cuffed," and the tailor, discovering the reason, soon built up a big business.—Christian Advocate. Sugar Consumption. Sugar consumption In America has increased from an average of 11 to 90 pounds annually per capita during the last 100 years, according to official statistics. Health authorities suggest that this fact may have an important bearing upon the bad teeth that nester the present generation, pointing out that sugar may have replaced calcium-producing diet.

Deceased was a pioneer of Colorado and widely known, especially in railroad circles. His wife, Mrs. Julia Embry, well known in club and political work, left immediately for Des Moines to accompany the remains home. A large circle of friends are left to mourn his loss. The COLORADO STATESMAN extends its heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved. The Bonviviant Club in its first meeting of the new year, Tuesday, and with the new president, C. N.

Ford former pastor of Zion Baptist Church and in his day a fearless race leader and powerful religious factor, returned to Denver last Friday night for a brief period having been called to this city to officiate at the funeral of Mrs. Nellie Walker, a member of his church during his pastorate here. By strange turn of circumstances he reached Denver in time to conduct the service over Mrs. Emma Carter, another old friend and relative by a former marriage. The popularity of Rev. Ford has not waned an iota during the years of his absence and the demands upon his time from old time friends has been all but overwhelming. He has been the recipient of many notable social and church functions while here and his short stay will be mutually regretted by both himself and devoted admirers.

WALKER, Husband. Y. M. C. A. NOTES With the holidays now over we are getting back to normal again, and are glad to see evidences of happiness and good cheer on every hand. The boys' clubs, so seriously disturbed in their program by the holidays, are beginning to function again, and show signs of speedy rehabilitation. The Central Bear Trailers (pioneer groups) have already played baseball against the Shorter Bear-cats, and the High School boys are fairly aching for an engagement with somebody. Bids for the construction of the new building are nearly about all in, and the joint building committee will soon pass upon them. This will be good news to all our friends who wish to see work on the building begun at once. All those who gathered at the New Hope Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon to witness the Emancipation program were greatly pleased with it. The program opened with an instrumental prelude played by Professor Watson As the strains glided into the "Star-Spangled Banner" the audience rose while Mr. George W. Gross read a series of "Special Words," ending with a quotation from the address of President Coolidge in his eulogy of the late President Harding. Commander Franklin of the Wallace Simpson Post, in five-minute talk full of fire and enthusiasm, told why we had gathered there. After this Miss Nelsine Howard read Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. It was admitted by all that they had never heard it more effectively read. As she read the words of the Praeclation declaring that the slaves "are henceforth and forever free," the audience brought forth a loud and long aplause. The anniversary address by Dr. Westbrook was a masterpiece, thrilling the audience by its eloquence and its masterly array of facts. Secretary Bell announced at the close of the program that it was the hope of the promoters that hereafter the citizens will take charge of the movement and make it an annual affair. A committee composed of representatives from all the different organizations in the city was appointed to have charge of arrangements Tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon another great treat is in store for the people. The Rev. John E. Ford of Jacksonville, Fla., visiting in the city at this time, will be the speaker. Dr. Ford, for several years pastored the Zion Batist Church, is known and loved by everybody. The program will be held at the New Hope Baptist Church, beginning at 4 o'clock. Everybody is welcome. Our honor roll, unused for so long a time, is as follows: Miss Arula Cole; Moral N. Keelan; George C. King and Merchants Biscuit Company. BOOKER HARRIS DIES IN RALEIGH, N. C. Mrs. Maude Harris of 2326 Humboldt street received the sad intelligence early Tuesday morning that her son, Booker Harris, who had been attending school at Raleigh, N. C. had passed away in that city after a brief illness resulting from a stroke of paralysis. Booker was a remarkable bright young man and had entered the Episcopal school at St. Augustine with a view to a professional career. For a number of years he has served as one of the altar boys of the Church of the Redeemer. According to present arrangements his body will be brought to Denver for burial and it is planned to hold the funeral service Monday morning at 9 o'clock from the Redeemer. Mrs. Harris, the mother, has the sympathy of the entire city, as both she and her stricken son were well and favorably known. FUNERAL OF MRS. EMMA CARTER LARGELY ATTENDED The funeral of Mrs. Emma Carter aged mother of Eugene A. Carter and sister of Dr' Justina Ford was held at the People's mortuary last Saturday morning and was largely attended. Mrs. Carter, whose home was in Galesburg, Ill., was injured severely some weeks ago when an auto in which she was riding in company with her sister, Dr. Justina Ford, and husband, was struck by a switch engine at the Thirty-eighth street crossing. But little hope was held out at the time for her recovery and her death was by no means unexpected. Rev. John E. Ford of Jacksonville, Florida, and former pastor of Zion Baptist Church of this city, officiated at the funeral services. The remains were shipped to Galesburg for final interment, the son, Eugene Carter, accompanying them. Our earnest sympathy goes out to all the bereaved ones.

PORO COLLEGE 4300 St. Ferdinand Avenue, ST. LOUIS, MO., U. S. A. DEPT. R JUDGE GEO. A. LUXFORD OF THE COUNTY COURT Renders Important Decision in the Case of the Estate of John S. Williams, Deceased On November 30th last, John S. Williams, who was living at 3541 Wynkoop street, was seriously shot by Geo. Mitchell, a boarder in Williams' house. Williams was rushed to the county hospital and later died on December 10. The deceased had three brothers, and Leroy F. Williams employed Attorney Thos. Campbell to represent their interest in the estate as against the claims of Lottie Daniels, nee Williams, who claimed to be the common law wife of John S. Williams, deceased, and the legal heir to his life insurance and the house and lot owned by Williams. Letters of administration were granted in the estate of Leroy F. Williams, brother, and Lottie Daniels, nee Williams, filed a petition through her attorney to have Leroy Williams set aside and enjoined from acting as administrator. The case came to trial Thursday morning at 10 o'clock before Judge Luxford in the County Court, and after a trial, lasting almost the entire day, the case came to a close and was won by Attorney Campbell for the Williams brothers. Judge Luxford, in rendering his decision, gave one of the most notable opinions upon the law of common-law marriages, setting forth the basic principles of morality and the home which are the foundation of our government and society that has ever been handed down from the bench in the County Court. Judge Luxford, in giving his decision, said in part as follows: "The Court appreciates the able argument of counsel; but in order to establish a common-law marriage, there ought to be a very clear distinction between actual marriage and illicit relations. "I do not know how widespread this custom of ignoring the regular process of marriage is. It would appear from three or four cases we have had here, and from testimony in this particular case, that the practice is more general than supposed. "This ought not to be. Our very government itself depends upon 'the stability and sanctity of the home. Children, the hearthstone, home life, these are matters that go to make up the very foundation of our government and society. The usual custom of procuring a license and then having some proper officer unite the parties in holy matrimony has been established by evolution and common consent to be the desirable course. This does not contemplate a loose union, nor barnyard morals, but an actual bona fide union that becomes a matter of public record, where the husband and wife can look back to that day and say, 'This is when we were united in holy wedlock.'" "I commend this to you. Don't skate around on the thin ice with reference to the laws under which you live. Walk up fairly and fearlessly and be a real citizen, be a real mother, be a real father."

THE NATIONAL WESTERN STOCK SHOW FOR 1924 To Be Held in Denver, Jan. 19 to 26; Eighteenth Annual Event Heralded as Great Western Exposition The eighteenth annual National Western Stock Show, Denver's great mid-winter classic, which is to be held in the stadium of the Denver stockyards from Jan. 19th to the 26th, gives promise of excelling in many features the list of brilliant shows of the past. Judging from entries and inquiries received by Harry L. Youngerman, general manager of the show, interest is unusually high and indications are that the largest crowds in history will gather to pass judgment on the aristocrats of the domestic animal kingdom. It is given out from the office of the general manager that entries in almost every department of the live stock game are much larger thus early than those of a year ago. Breeders of live stock from twenty-two states will compete in the great show this year. Dairy cattle from Wisconsin, known as the leading milk producing state of the Union, have been entered, as have also the H. O. Harrison herd of Aberdeen-Angus cattle that were winners at the 1923 International Live Stock Exposition of Chicago. Visitors to the National Western Stock Show are always thrilled by the series of brilliant equine events staged by the National Western Horse Show which is held annually with the Stock Show, and is looked to as a great society gathering. In addition to the string of noted thoroughbreds owned by Loula Long Combs of Kansas City, without which no horse show in America could be regarded a success, representatives from famous California and Chicago stables will be competitors for honors during the six-night horse shows starting Monday night, Jan. 21. The railroads entering Denver have announced a special rate of fare-and-one-third for the round trip. Denver and Colorado take a just pride in this annual show for it brings visitors from many of the western states who learn from first hand of our ability to conduct one of the most successful stock and horse shows in America. JOSEPH CARTER Express, Moving and Storage Coal and Wood 2415 WASHINGTON STREET PROMPT DELIVERY Phone Main 6544 BOULDER, COLORADO, NEWS We have been having some beautiful days since our very severe cold weather the 1st—16 and 18 below. Cold enough and then some. Rev. A. C. Jackson was in Boulder Sunday. There was a business meeting held at the Baptist Church at 6 o'clock. Rev. A. C. Murphy spoke Sunday night from the subject "Acknowledgement and God's Directions." Before the sermon Rev. Murphy sang, "Get on Board" and "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot." This is the first time Allen Chapel has had the singing of our songs introduced in the service. At the Baptist Church they have had jubilee singing a part of the service each month. One Sunday night has been turned to a song service featuring our songs for about two years. We, as a race, should sing our songs more. While passing through, Mrs. Georgia Stevens from Kansas City, Kas, and the Misses Inez and Mildred Stevens from Hannibal, Mo, paid a short visit with their aunt, Mrs. Bryant, spending four days, returning home Sunday afternoon. The Cedar Arts and Literary Club will meet at the home of the president Thursday, the 10th. Mrs. Mary White is still our much-loved president. The Mite Missionary of Allen Chapel will give a chitterling and chill supper Friday, the 11th, at the home of Mrs. S. B. Harris. Prayer meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Chrysler's Wednesday night, the 9th. There will be a chitterling supper at the Missions every Saturday night in the future until further notice.

WALKER Mother's Cook Book ```markdown ``` RUNNING TIDES WHERE the oceans, seas and rivers are, where happiness dwells, where progress wends its way among the nations, the tides are running day and night in perfect harmony with the mysterious force which is prompting, swaying, driving and compelling every animate creature to action. Slowly we learn that these unforeseen tides which seem so irresistible, so destructive to our fondest dreams and aspirations, can be made subse rient to our wishes, and how by a stroke or two we may swim strongly with their currents and reach our goal. To some of us the very thought of the constant motion of these tides suggests that they are opposing us, seeking to sweep us under, when in reality they are intended to develop our prowess to keep our heads above the waters and carry us safely on to our destination in spite of ourselves. We bulk at doing this or that because of opposition. We lack the courage to breast the flood. In a moment of despair we feel that it is preferable to destroy our ambitions and forget them than to make the fight. It is pleasanter to sit by the fire and THE ROMANCE CF WORDS "ALLIGATOR" WHEN the alligator, the ugly crocodile of the new world, was first seen by the Spanish discoverers, they had a true insight into its species and called it "el lagarto" or "the lizard"—the article being accented because of the size of the monster. In Sir Walker Raleigh's "Discovery of Guiana," the word still retains its Spanish form, for the discoverer writes: "Sailing up the Orinoco we saw in it divers sorts of strange fishes of marvelous bigness, but for lagartos it exceeded. There were thousands of these ugly serpents, and the people call it, from the abundance of them, the river of lagartos in their (the Spanish) language." The English sailors who brought the word home with them had probably never seen it written and naturally considered that the article "el" was part of the noun "lagarto." In Ben Jonson, who writes it "alligarta," we find the word in the process of its transformation, "alligator" being merely the Anglicized version of the Spanish name, coupled with a more phonetic form of spelling. Mother's Not to the swift the race; not to the strong the light; Not to the righteous perfect grace; not to the wise the light; But often faltering feet come surest to the goal; And they who walk in darkness meet the sunrise of the soul. A thousand times by night the Syrian hosts have died; COOKIES FOR THE FAMILY THE cooky jar at this season of the year, to be at all popular, must be always full. Here are a few to help replenish it: Imperial Cookies. Take one-half cupful of butter, one cupful of sugar, two eggs, one table-spoonful of milk, two and one-balf cupfuls of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Mix the butter and sugar, add the beaten eggs, milk and the dry ingredients sifted together. Roll very thin and bake in a hot oven. This foundation may be used for filled cookies if desired, doubling the amount. For the filling, take one-half cupful of sugar, one-half cupful of raisins, two tablespoonfuls of flour, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and the grated rind of the lemon, one-fourth cupful of boiling water and two tablespoonfuls of butter. Rub the butter and flour together, add the boiling water and cook, then add the raisins, lemon juice and rind and cook until smooth. Cool before using. Roll out, cut, then place a spoonful of the mixture in the center, cover with another cooky and bake as usual. Dates, currants, figs or a combination of two or more may be used for this filling. Hermits. Take one-third of a cupful of butter, two-thirds of a cupful of sugar, one egg, two tablespoonfuls of milk, one and three-fourths cupfuls of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one-third of a cupful of raisins cut into small pieces, one-half teaspoonful of cinnamon, one-fourth teaspoonful of cloves, the same of mace, and nutmeg. Cream the butter; add the sugar, raisins, egg well beaten, and the milk. Mix the dry ingredients and add to picture castles in the air than it is to erect them on a substantial foundation. And frequently, while we are thus idly dreaming, the tides pick us up and whirl us off to some destitute island. If in our temporary isolation we regain our senses and see ourselves as we really are, we summon our spiritual and physical strength and strike out boldly for the main land. Whatever our sensations may have been in the grip of such emotions, if we have within us the right qualities, we are likely later in our careers to become more earnest, capable and patient. The old egotism, narrow selfishness and churlish temper, which were pulling us down beneath the waters, have scurried away. We have become more charitable, more neighborly, more inclined to pull with the tides than to oppose them when opposition is of no avail. We heed cheerfully the advice of our superiors instead of rejecting it with ugly words of protestation or rising up in rebellion against well-meant authority. And this is as it should be. The secret of success is to know when to buffet the tides and when to float complacently with them. (© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) SCHOOL DAYS HURR RUN DE THA BE Cook Book HURRY UP, ED! RUN!

Tis something to have lived completely, If only for a moment's span, Have lived a moment madly, weetly, Have lived the floodtide while we can.

This accomplished without revolution, but it has certainly a few have realized that the evolution has been political working Communism, I mean a state of desires of Communists will be realized, with things which the various lunatic fringes consider no Soviets, no dictatorship of the proletarian economic class, no violent redistribution of property, to give to the poor.

The strikes that occur for hours or better conditions, appear to be more actually most of the concessions that workers have without strikes.

A Hundred Acres of Corn the Income of New York Bricklayers PRACTICAL working Communism will exist in the United States within a very few years. In fact we have since 1890 covered more of the distance than still remains to go. This has not only been accomplished without revolution, but it has come so gradually that only a few have realized that the evolution has been going on. By practical working Communism, I mean a state in which the fundamental desires of Communists will be realized, without the fantastic trimmings which the various lunatic fringes consider essential. There will be no Soviets, no dictatorship of the proletariat or of other social or economic class, no violent redistribution of property, no taking from the rich to give to the poor. But neither will there be abject poverty side by side with superfluous abundance. We shall still operate under the capitalistic system, for that is the only system which correctly rewards and therefore stimulates ability, initiative and production. Scraping away the fungus growths of ideas that have grown around Communism we find that underneath is the entirely sound and healthy belief that all men are entitled to a large supply of necessary and luxury goods, and to a proper amount of leisure in which to enjoy those goods. That is the real purpose of Communism. While the numerous more or less the oretical advocates of this result are quibbling and squabbling over what means to employ, capitalism, urged somewhat by public opinion and aided by those who are experts in production and distribution, is achieving the desired condition in a practical way. Our farsighted industrialists not only watch public opinion and study the trends of thought among workmen—they often anticipate demands and meet them before they are made. The strikes that occur for higher wages, shorter hours or better conditions, appear to be more common than they are. Actually most of the concessions that workers have attained have come without strikes. They have come by mutual agreement. The welfare of workmen as exemplified in safety, in housing and in health safeguards have been voluntary acts of the employers. The lower production costs and the general trend over a hundred years toward lower costs of production and prices have been the result of a scientific striving for greater profits. There is no repression in this country, no undue use of the police to put down protests, nor is there ignorance of what the workers want. So long as that attitude exists, no revolution can occur. Earthworms Have a Memory and May Be Trained to Learn "Safety First" By PROF. L. HECK, in Daily Science News Bulletin. Earthworms were introduced into a passage shaped like a capital T and carved from a block of wood which was covered with a glass plate so that the movements of the little creatures might be observed. When they came to the junction about half of them turned one way and half the other. Then it was arranged so that those that took the left-hand passage received a mild, but presumably disagreeable electric shock. At first the worms did not know just what to make of all this, but after they had all been through the experience about 200 times, they nearly all were converted to "safety first" and took the right-hand turn. When the electrodes were then moved to the right-hand passage they learned to shift to the other after only 65 passages, evidently showing more aptitude. In the human sense, earthworms have no brains; their nervous systems consist of a series of little ganglions, or nerve centers, on the underside of the worms and connected with each other by nerve fibers. If the worms were cut in two, the fragments still showed the ability to distinguish between the safe and the unpleasant road to travel, showing that the earthworm remembers in every one of his ganglions, and is able to learn and profit by experience. "I Dislike Very Much the Sex-Conscious Bloc That Alice Paul—" By MRS. J. BORDEN HARRIMAN, in "From Pinafores to Politics." Women are still separate, not only biologically, which doesn't count for so much in politics, but economically. They are the vast body of houseworkers, sometimes sweated and sometimes petted. The American wife is supposed to be a member of the great leisure class, and I suppose it is true that more American wives have more time to waste or to pursue culture than any other people in the world. I dislike very much the sex-conscious bloc that Alice Paul and her party have organized. I do not think they can ever be powerful enough on their own to accomplish anything, and I do think they stir up so much antagonism in the men that it is very difficult for the rest of us to peacefully negotiate the things we want. A good many women whose opinion I value enormously, among them Ruth McCormick, thought at the beginning that the League of Women Voters was an unwise precedent, perhaps encouraging women to organize on sex rather than along the old party lines. I, on the contrary, feel that Mrs. Maud Wood Park has done a great work by giving women a preparatory school in which to learn technique for making themselves felt when they join the parties. The league has an immense value as a nonpartisan organization, or as some people call it, "all-partisan."

The Bay of Naples, where part of the Spanish fleet recently was entertained on the occasion of King Alfonso XIII's visit to Italy, has seen some strange seafaring and other events. There Nelson met and was smitten by the charms of Lady Hamilton, whose husband, Sir William Hamilton, was the diplomat accredited to the Neapolitan court. There, on the island of Capri, at the southern end of the bay, Tiberius lived in that seclusion which, according to the malicious gossip of history, was occupied in unbelievably evil doings. On the mainland east of the town of Naples was Pompeii, and the Roman fleet stood by in the bay while Vesuvius was in its fatal eruption. The sirens who unsuccessfully wooed the wanderer Ulysses, are said to have had their home in the neighborhood. The Spanlards, who recently were there as guests, for more than two hundred years remained there as masters. For from 1522 until the treaty of Utrecht in 1713 Naples belonged to Spain, and for a much longer time the kingdom of the two Sicilies, which stretched from the island across the Straits of Messina up to Naples, had a Spanish ruler. Then, and, indeed, throughout her history, until Garibaldi and The Thousand brought the south into the newly united Italy, Naples had about the worst government and the loveliest site in Europe. Constantinople alone could challenge her simultaneously on these two records. Mr. Gladstone's thunderous indignation at what he heard about the political prisoners of Naples is still remembered for the tremor it sent through the England of the early fifties. Now such iniquities are as dead as the "scotched princes and fangless kings" whom Swinburne, in the full spate of his enthusiasm for the risorgimenta, consigned ecstatically to hades. But Naples remains still very distinct from the northern and central cities of Italy. The largest, and most congested city in the kingdom, it has a certain air of being foreign about it. It belongs to the Mediterranean rather than to Italy—Manchester Guardian. Huge Waves, at Sea. Waves of extraordinary height, miscalled "tidal waves," are sometimes encountered at sea or along the coasts. They are due either to earthquakes under the sea or to a combination of several ordinary waves, which if a heavy sea be running, is sufficient to account for a wave of unusual height. Such a one was recently encountered by the British steamship Maine, near the southern edge of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. The wind was rising after a hard blow and an ugly swell about twenty-five feet high was running. Then a huge wave was seen towering above the other seas, a mile away, and rushing toward the ship. It swept the vessel from end to end, and was estimated by the officers to have been from fifty to sixty feet in height. Divorce Rare in Egypt. Divorce is listed among the rarest things in Egypt. From a moral standpoint Egyptians are prone to reject the desirability of such action. It has long been the custom of the Egyptian people to look with scorn upon those who are seeking the law of the land to sever the marital relationship. They shun as much as possible the woman in the case. She is thought to be possessed with some wickedness or weakness which has prompted her to take such recourse. Egyptian women use powder, rouge and lipstick, but they still wear their veils, and only when an Egyptian woman wishes to appear exceptionally attractive will she resort to the use of cosmetics—Detroit News. Her First Flight. Orville Wright told a story at a Dayton dinner. "A little Dayton girl," he said, "was taken one day to a flying exhibition. In the middle of the show she turned to her mother and said: "Isn't it funny? I can't remember the least bit what it's like to fly." "Silly!' said her mother. 'You have never flown.' "I have, too,' said the little girl. 'Don't you remember when the stork brought me?' The Fairy Story. A little fairy story, my children, won't hurt us now and then. Once upon a time, a more recent time, there was a ball and a prince at it. All as it should be. The prince in dancing tripped over some object and nearly sprained his nose. Whereupon he mounted a chair and held it up, asking. "Has any lady lost a large, flat, pie-shaped sandal?" And Cinderella came forward blushingly to claim it. Washed Out.

While many of Its bureaus give their atten- tion to matters which chiefly concern the farmer, such as crops, live stock, soll .conditions, Insect pests, or general (Fite ie Say aN Pa eS Ss \ ee | Soe 7 Oe Ee co Ha Boil wy es = 7 oh Dr. Louise Stanley, Chief of Bureau of Home Economics. farm management, It is part of the function of the department work as laid down by law, also to help the womn- an on the farm, In many rural homes it has been found that the life of the mother is 1 continual round of drudgery, ‘This Is sometimes due to failure to understand the best ways of doing housework to Save labor and strength. Frequently it is due to lack of conveniences. The bureau of home economics wants all women to be Informed of the best and “most modern practice in regard to everything connected with home-mak- ing. This does not necessarily mean urging people to buy expensive new equipment. It Is possible to make housework so interesting and so dignt- fied that it 1s a satisfaction, instead of drudgery, to do It. The bureau of home economics belfeves that It takes brains to manage a home to the best brush on the floor most of the time in stead of flirting it through the alr. The dust cloth should be held in a fairly compact mass, so that the surface to be cleaned is wiped or polished and at the same time the dust is held by the cloth.» While the dust ts settling, re- move spots from the woodwork and wash windows If necessary. ‘The covers may then be taken from pictures and furniture. They should be shaken out of doors if possible. Then the room and furniture should be dusted thoroughly, beginning at the top of the room and working down. Use of Vacuum Cleaner. When a room is cleaned with a vacuum cleaner, the order of proceed- ing is different. The room is first dusted, then the vacuum cleaner Is used on upholstery, hangings, walls. and carpets or rugs, and finally the floor is dusted, By this method of cleaning fewer articles need to be moved, no dust {s scattered, and more dirt is actually removed. A vacuum cleaner, therefore, saves time and labor. advantage of the whole family, and that what a mother does should be ree- ognized and appreciated. At the same time, with more information as to what other housekeepers and _ scientific workers have found out about good household “management, the proper feeding of the family, the hest utensils ‘and equipment to buy or. the most durable materials for clothing, every mother can render better service to her family with less effort on her own part. ‘To supply Information on all such questions and to make investiga tions which will lead to continued itn- provement in household methods, the new bureau of home economics was es- tablished.

THE EASIEST NUMBER TO REMEMBER IS THE SMALLEST NUMBER IN DENVER CHAMPA "2" WE HAVE TAKEN THE TAX OUT OF TAXI Phone South 7228 Pretty Handmade Underthings Jacquette of "Boucle Knit" THIS is the season of the year when women undertake to replenish their supply of underthings. They are much aided and encouraged by the shops which are staging their annual "white sales" and the holidays brought out all that is new and beautiful in underwear, so that every one has had an opportunity to review the mode and approve—or disapprove—styles. Naturally at holiday time silk underwear is emphasized for gifts. The displays leave no doubt in the mind that silk is becoming more and more popular in the crepe de chine and radium weaves as an underwear fabric. It has, besides its beauty, great durability to recommend it and is the easiest of fabrics to launder. The G 1 colors liked are pink, peach, flesh, orchid, nile and turquoise. Artificial silk is used for undersiips. There is a growing demand for band sewing on undergarments. This and the dainty and colorful fabrics used make work on them more of a pastime than a task. In silk the choice lies mainly between crepe de chine and radium, but one may choose wash satin or Japanese silk. White and colored linen lawns with fine "handkerchief" embroideries are very elegant and the linen is durable enough to justify the fine embroidery. In cotton materials there are batiste, striped and checked dimity, volle and novelty crepes to choose among—all dyed in the same colors as silk or linen. Val, fillet and Irish lace, pin tucks, hemstitching, embroidery and fancy stitching, with narrow ribbons furnish ing the body of the jacket sleeves is character's latest models. It sees the ensemble be compulsive cuffs and a collar d style. In regard to knitting proving one of the most in the knitted outwear trimming feature it is in appearance with hair. It is well to keep in new knitted modes. "Ing in thick and fast, that we are at the third preceded vogue for ted. Those who have to glimpse the advance enthusiastic over the sensations in store for such entrancing ideas embroidered knitted d A ACQUETTE LATEST JACQUETTE the usual means of embellishment. The pretty combination pictured is a good example of a lace-trimmed garment. Medallions of fillet or Irish lace, set in, are very popular and on some new models the lace is tinted to match the fabric. Some of the high shades in silk have appeared trimmed with narrow black lace, but black has never made much of an appeal to American women for use in undergarments. The rules and by-laws as issued by her imperial highness, Dame Fashion, declare that fur and furlike appearance be the smart note throughout midwinter vogue. Creators of --- knitted outerwear ever alert to the knock of opportunity at the door, in accepting the challenge, proceeded to set their machines to the pace of a new stitch which should produce a knitted fur, so to speak. The result? Knitted boucle, a shaggy loop effect which simulates fine astrakhan, and the popular caracul is also successfully imitated. The boucle jacquette as shown in this picture is undoubtedly one of the knitted triumphs of the season. The original of this model was knit of buff wool, just the color of belge caracul, and it looks furlike. Note that the sleeves are of plain brushed wool, camel colored to match the knitted braid finishings. This idea of differ G ing the body of the jacquette from the sleeves is characteristic of the very latest models. It seems proper that the ensemble be completed with boucle cuffs and a collar of distinguished style. In regard to knitted boucle, it is proving one of the most popular items in the knitted outerwear field. As a trimming feature it excels, competing in appearance with handsome fur. It is well to keep in touch with the new knitted modes. They are crowding in thick and fast, for rumor has it that we are at the threshold of an unprecedented vogue for all things knitted. Those who have been privileged to glimpse the advance models were enthusiastic over the series of knitted sensations in store for us, hinting at such entrancing ideas as all-over wool embroidered knitted dresses, mandarin A coats having one or two buttons down the front, bell sleeves and other smart details. There are charming capes knitted in brushed wool plaided effects and knitted hats are assuming the role of cleverly designed millinery. Julia Bottomley (©, 1924, Western Newspaper Union.)
