LAST Tuesday evening's event of Denver Colored Civic Association will live long in the memory of those who were participants in their fifth annual banquet, given at the Civic and Commercial building, 1726 Champa street, in celebration of the Lincoln-Douglass birthday anniversary and the noble-hearted John Brown of historic fame. The banquet hall of the building was transformed into a scene of beauty and galaxy of beautifully-gowned women and well-dressed men vied with the decorations consisting of the flowers and American flags, with large portraits of Lincoln, Douglass and John Brown adorning the walls in conspicuous positions at the head table.
To the martial strains of "Remembrance," a march composed by W. E. Brown (foreign) the guests proceeded to the tables from their assembly in the reception room, led by President Thomas Campbell and his amiable wife, followed by other officers of the association, their wives and other citizens who not unmindful of the deeds and great accomplishments of these American characters, and the efforts for co-operation for the welfare of our people being put forward by this association, came to do honor and celebrate at this momentous occasion.
The proceedings began with the singing of "America," followed with invocation by Mr. Harrison Smith, one of the leading members of the Shorter A. M. E. Church, then two numbers of popular community songs. A well prepared menu of four courses under the able management of Mrs. Sarah Haffner, the well-known caterer of the Commercial Association, greeted the appetite of the guests, and ample justice was done to the sumptuous repast that was provided.
Dr. C. E. Terry, a leading physician and surgeon, a graduate of a New York medical college, presided, and afterwards introduced Dr. S. A. Huff, popular physician, as master of ceremonies, who in his versatile and witty manner opened this part of the program with very complimentary remarks on the progress of the association and paid tribute to the Indefatigable efforts of its president, Attorney Thomas Campbell, who has been at the helm ever since its inception. Haing been called upon, the president replied in a short but pity review of the association, its purpose and influence in the community, and expressed his gratitude for the splendid support given him by other officers and members, also the moral support offered from time to time by the public irrespective of race or creed.
Increased interest in this celebration was evidenced when the master of ceremonies introduced the Rev. Coyden H. Uggams, pastor of the People's Presbyterian Church, to deliver the address on Abraham Lincoln, and by his introduction prepared the way for another feast—that of literary good things. The pastor, a graduate of Lincoln University, Pennsylvania, and after laboring in Charleston, S. C., for several years, came to Denver about

a year ago, and is doing very good work both in his church and the community. Scholarly and with a delivery that charmed his auditors, with an eloquence that compelled attention, he emphasized certain characteristic features of Lincoln's life and brought out very clearly his declaration, determination of will and dedication of life to service. The speaker closed with an urgent appeal to carry out the Lincoln principles and carry on the Lincoln program which has established a standard worthy of emulation by all peoples and nations.
Miss Helen Taylor, secretary of the Phyllis Wheatley branch, Young Womens Christian Association, graduate of Tuskegee and Fisk, of high literary accomplishments and a talented musician, gave a very stirring address on John Brown, offering a beautiful portrayal of his life, with a complete review and historical incidents that proved his indomitable courage, his unswerving devotion to duty, his belief in right and liberty for all the people. She was followed by the Rev John Allen, pastor of the Central Baptist Church, who gave the address on Frederick Douglass, and forcibly reminded his hearers of the wonderworking power within this great leader and benefactor of his race. His reminder of Douglass' struggles to reach the goal of his ambition served to encourage and inspire our people for greater achievements.
All the speakers were given the rapt attention of the guests, broken here and there by applauses whenever the names of Lincoln, Douglass and John Brown were mentioned in relating some valorous deed or noteworthy incident in their championing the cause of TRUTH, JUSTICE and RIGHT. Each speaker received great applause, and the master of ceremonies expressed in very cordial terms the appreciation of the association for being so fortunate in the securing of such talented and able speakers who were largely responsible for the evening's success.
The master of ceremonies, in his "patented humorism" gave an opportunity for a number of the guests to express themselves briefly—the same filling a very acceptable role, as both sides enjoyed the "wit and humor" that came impromptu from one another.
Special mention must be made of the table decorations of flowers donated by City Park authorities through R. J. VonDickersohn; the leading of the community singing by Secretary Thos. Bell, the energetic secretary of the Y. M. C. A.; also Hewetson Watson, the ready-reckoner who responds to every beck and call in all endeavors to further community progress, and who was at the piano for the evening. Walter E. Huntley, the head waiter and his staff deserve commendation for the very efficient service which they gave and which helped materially towards the success of the function.
After impressive remarks on the worth of the Civic Association to the community in creating a better understanding between the races, and the presenting of the building proposal with the idea of erection and completion during the current year, a very enjoyable evening was brought to a close with the singing of the "Star-Spangled Banner," and best wishes for another year of success for the Denver Colored Civic Association.
DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1924
U. S. Senate Favors Howard
Medical School and All Items Deleted in House of Representatives Included in Senate Measure Which Calls for a Total Appropriation of $865,000
Washington, D. C., Feb. 15, 1924. Carrying a total appropriation of $865,000 for Howard University, an increase of $707,500 over the amount as passed by the House of Representatives, the Interior Department appropriation bill was reported favorably to the Senate Saturday, Feb. 9, from the U. S. Senate Committee on Appropriations.
The additions made in the bill for Howard University cover the $207,500 for maintenance and equipment stricken from the bill in the House one point of order and also $500,000 for additions to the Medical School of the University.
Senator Phipps of Colorado, a member of the subcommittee which handled the bill and also chairman of the subcommittee which handles the District appropriation bill, was largely instrumental in bringing about the inclusion in the bill of the $500,000 for the Medical School.
Item Is Restored
He also supported the restoration to the bill of the $207,500 for the maintenance and equipment of the university, which had been stricken out of the bill in the House on a point of order raised by Representative Byrnes of South Carolina.
During the consideration of the bill in subcommittee, the president of the university, Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, declared that the work of the university would be seriously handicapped if these appropriations are not allowed.
Howard University is one of the two universities for colored students which give degrees in medicine. The great need of more and better trained colored practitioners was pointed out to the committee as an argument for the $500,000 to be used for additions to the Medical School. Of this amount, $370,000 is to be used for additional buildings and $130,000 for equipment.
The Senate committee also added $9,000 to the items for Freedmen's Hospital for salaries, etc. The total recommended for Freedmen's Hospital is $174,700.
Pullman Porters Petitioning for Wage Increase
Pullman Porters Petitioning for Wage Increase
Chicago, Feb. 9.—Declaring the Pullman Company has not kept faith with them and that $60 per month is not living wage, several hundred Pullman porters have signed petitions to be presented to the United States Labor Board.
Thirty-five of the petitions have already been signed, it is said, and are being circulated in the Pullman district headquarters at Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, New York and Washington.
The petitions are said to have met with hearty response from Pullman porters at all terminals, and there is a clamor to affix their signatures to the petitions.
Previous attempts to obtain unified action among the porters has failed on account of the fear of many that they
would lose their jobs in case they were identified with such a movement. No such fear, however, appears to characterize the present attempt.
Lieut. Hubert Julian Colored Aviator Plans Flight Around the World in Thirty Days
Lieut. Hubert Julian Colored Aviator Plans Flight Around the World in Thirty Days
Less than twenty-five years ago, when the Wright Brothers startled the world with their marvelous feats, it was little thought that Lord Alfred Tennyson's prophecy about seeing the skies filled with commerce would in part be fulfilled. Now flying is not only a big industry, and are, but it is also a sport. Lieutenant Hubert Julian, inventor-scientist, announces that he will make a complete circle of the globe, covering a space of 24,000 miles, in a plane of his own invention. A guarantee deposit of $2,000 has already been made with the Chamberlain Aircraft Company of New Jersey to insure the delivery of the machine by July 1, 1924, according to a copy of a letter shown by Lieut. Julian. The machine is to be equipped with 2,500-horsepower Wright T. 3 motors, having flying radius of 2,000 miles, with a speed of 150 miles per hour. The machine is to be equipped with radio compass, chart and electricity. Seating capacity will be provided for our passengers.
Lieutenant Julian has startled multitudes wherever he has given his exhibits, and to see him guide and turn, dip and skim, one would think that he is made for expressing the joy of mountainous heights and ethereal regions.
Of Lieutenant Julian's invention, "Science and Invention" has this to say: "The invention-is destined to revolutionize the science of aeronautics." Lieutenant Julian rightly possesses the inventive instinct. He is the inventor of a motor-driven parachute. Lieutenant Julian is a graduate medical student of the University of McGill, Montreal, Canada, although he was born in Trinidad, B. W. I. He studied mechanics in England.
Lieutenant Julian has participated in many field day programs since the close of the World War. He was with the Canadian air service. Such feats as dropping from a height of approximately 5,000 feet in a parachute of his own manufacture, landing in front of the grand stand; playing while making the descent, "The Sidewalks of New York" is one of his pet stunts. He plays the saxophone.
Men high in military and naval circles of both the Canadian and American forces have united in praising Julian on his wonderful achievement. Inspector General Charles H. McKinley, in a letter expresses sincere thanks to Lieut. Julian for the extraordinary aeronautical program arranged by him for Police Field Day, 1923, adding further, "It is gratifying to know that the general public of New York had the opportunity to view such a feat as performed by you." Wherever he performs his wonderful feats, Lieut. Julian is greeted with rounds and rounds of applause.
Lieut. Julian states that he intends to prove the possibilities of colored aeronautics after which he says he will begin a school in order to give colored people an opportunity to learn the art of flying.
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE PROMISES WAR DEPT. INQUIRY IN HOUSTON MARTYR CASES
Receives Petition with 120,000 Signatures Gathered by N. A. A. C. P. and Replies Cordially to Delegation
President Coolidge has promised an inquiry by the War Department into the cases of the fifty-four men of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, still imprisoned in Leavenworth penitentiary for their alleged share in the Houston riot of 1917.
President Coolidge made this promise in the presence of a delegation representing the colored people of the country, after James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at noon on February 7, presented the petition signed by 120,000 names, asking for executive clemency for the men.
The President listened attentively to Mr. Johnson's address presenting the petition, and replied cordially to it and to the delegation of representative colored citizens who had come to Washington for the occasion.
The President declared he would refer the cases to the War Department, and if he was empowered to take any action in behalf of the men, he would do so.

Disastrous Fire at Wilberforce Destroys Dormitory
Wilberforce, O., Feb. 5.—On Thursday day morning last one of the boys' dormitories was completely destroyed by a disastrous fire here, and nine students were injured, two probably fatally, when they endeavored to escape
After the interview with President Coolidge in the White House office building, Mr. Johnson called upon Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas and Representative Martin Madden, chairman of the committee on appropriations of the House of Representatives, and both these congressmen promised they would add their voices to those asking favorable action by the President.
Mr. Monroe Trotter, secretary of the Equal Rights League, headed a delegation of five representing that body and spoke eloquently in behalf of the imprisoned men. Mr. Trotter submitted to the President letters and resolutions from senators and congressmen, urging pardon for the Houston martyrs.
Mr. Johnson, in commenting upon the work which culminated in the presentation of the petition to President Coolidge, said:
"February 7, 1924, was an epoch-making day, a day on which not only a great effort was made for justice to the Houston martyrs, but a day which marks the greatest actual piece of cooperation yet achieved by the various race agencies."

Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 8.—Dr. Charles R.

Disastrous Fire at Wilberforce Destroys Dormitory
Disastrous Fire at Wilberforce Destroys Dormitory
Wilberforce, O., Feb. 5.—On Thursday morning last one of the boys' dormitories was completely destroyed by a disastrous fire here, and nine students were injured, two probably fatally, when they endeavored to escape from the burning building. It is thought that the fire was of incendiary origin. The loss is estimated at $30,000.
Officials of Wilberforce University are conducting an investigation. This is the second large fire at the institution within the past two years. It will be recalled that the old famous Shorter Hall was destroyed in February a little over two years ago. Officials and friends of the institution had just about completed the erection of a modern fire-proof structure on the ruins of the old Shorter Hall.
It is said that the fire started in the basement of the building and ate its way to the upper floors. The fire was past control when discovered and great difficulty was experienced in arousing the young men sleeping in the building. More than 100 boys were domiciled in the hall. The flames had cut off all avenues of egress and the boys had to jump from the second story, the first floor being used for class-rooms, to safety. Nine of the young men were injured. The injured are: Homer Dunman, Riverside, Calif., and Charles Fairfax, Johnstown, Pa., probably fatally injured; W. A. Boone, Jonesboro, Ark., arm broken; William Davenport, Greenville, Miss, sprained ankle; Theodore Simpson, Elkhorn, W. Va., sprained back and ankle; Charles Duncan, Louisville, Ky.; Denny Moses, Battle Creek, Mich.; Alfred Harvey, Brownsville, W. Va., and Mason Davis, Birmingham, Ala., received painful cuts and bruises.
Officials of the school have indicated that a more modern and much larger dormitory will have to be erected. The loss of this hall greatly handicaps the institution, as their crying need is for more room to house the student body. It is said that several hundred students had to be turned away last fall at the opening of school because of lack of dormitory accommodations.

SENATE COMMITTEE CALLS
PUBLISHER TO STAND IN
TEAPOT INVESTIGATION
M’LEAN TO TESTIFY
JOHN C. SHAFFER ADMITS RE-
CEIVING $92,000 FOR INTERESTS
ADJOINING TEAPOT DOME
Washington.—Out of another day of
lightning developments in the oll scan-
day there emerged a definite deter-
mination by the investigating commit-
tee to go to the bottom of a rumor
that a $1,000,000 oil slush fund had
been deposited in Washington for dis-
tribution among men in high places,
Edward B. McLean, publisher of the
Washington Post, was summoned for
questioning regarding the slush fund
report and committee members said
Otto H. Kahn of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
and Benjamin F. Youkum, retired
president of a western railroad, would
be called later. Information reaching
the committee was that the story has
been a subject of discusston among
New York financiers, and that some of
{ts details had been brought to Wash-
ington by Mr. Youkum after he had
talked to Mr. Kahn.
‘The oll committee continued to hold.
out against approval of Silas H.
Strawn and Atlee Pomerene us gov-
ernment counsel in the oil cases, and
after being advised of this, President
Cooltdge withdrew the name of Mr.
Strawn. He took the position, how-
ever, that no conclusive evidence of
Mr, Pomerene's ineligibility had been
produced.
‘The testimony given during the long
sessiOn related largely to the methods
by which former Interior Secretary
Fall put into operation ls teasing po.
icy and provided the investigators
with several new sensations.
John C. Shaffer, publisher of the
Chicago Post and several other news-
Papers, testified that Full told him in
the sume month he entered the cabinet
that he would lease Teapot dome to
Harry F. Sinclair.
He himself, Mr. Shaffer said, got
a one-eighth share in the — $1,000,000
Sinclair paid the Pioneer Oil Company
in connection with the Teapot deal
and through an advance agreement
with Fall was promised In addition
200 aeres in Teapot dome,
‘rhus far, he snid, he had received
$92,000 on account of the $125;000
share out of the $1,000,000 Sinclair
paid the Pioneer company. He testl-
fied that Pall had arranged with Sin-
clair to give lim a holding in the
naval reserve after it was leased be-
cause he had submitted an appliea-
tion to the Interior Department at the
time Franklin K, Lane was secretary,
Shaffer indignantly denied that the
influence of his newspapers had in
any way entered into the transaction,
He asserted that no oll company or
anyone else had undertaken to shape
the policy of those papers with regard
to this or any other matter.
E. C, Finney, assistnt secretary of
the interior, testified that the Fall
leases were negotiated privately, and
that not even the department's own
solicitor was asked for ap opinion as
to their legality.
A letter written before the contracts
were signed, by H. Foster Bain, direc-
tor of the Bureau of Mines, saying he
understood Attorney General Dangh-
erty had given an “informal and ver-
bal” opinion upholding the leasing
policy, was put into the committee
record.
‘As a result, the committee author-
ized search of the files of the Depart-
ment of Justice, Mr, Daugherty has
suid he never gave an opinion on the
subject.
In announcing the issuance of a sub-
poena for Mr. McLean, who Is in
Palm Beach, Senator Walsh, Demo-
erat, Montana, said the committee de-
sired to question the publisher not
only with reference to rumors of the
$1,000,000 slush fund, but also as to
the $100,000 which he first said he
had loaned Mr. Fall, but which he
Inter testified had been returned to
him in uncashed checks.
Pupils Escape Burning Building
Prescott, Ariz.—Flames and smoke
swept the Campe Verde High School,
forty miles east of here, while stud-
ents in the building were ushered
without disorder from their class:
rooms to a church, where — their
studies were resumed while the fire
destroyed the structure. With the ex-
ception of a few records, which were
saved by a girl pupil at the risk of
her life, the building and its contents
were a total loss.
“Bread Trust” Probe Started
Washington.—A report charging na-
tion-wide profiteering in bread and
the creation of a “colossal bread trust
is impending” was submitted by Basil
M. Manly, director of the peopte’s leg-
islative Service, to Senator La Follette
of Wisconsin, its chalrman, and “oth-
er progressive senators and represen-
tatives.” ‘The report, which was out-
lined in an announcement by the or-
ganization, recommended congressional
action to “deflate bread prices and
cheek the growth of the bread trust.”

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE ON LINCOLN
THERE was something delightfully refreshing as well as timely and forceful in the Lincoln day address of President Coolidge, delivered before the National Republican Club of New York Tuesday night. Departing from the usual stereotyped remarks on the life and deeds of the great emancipator, the President took high ground in his application of the Lincoln ideals and principles to the vexing problems of today. None can read the address without a conviction of the President's sincerity, courage and honor. He approached every question fearlessly and with a clearness of vision that readily betokened his keen grasp of them and purpose to "carry on" in a manner not unlike that of Lincoln himself. The President found his chief comfort in the greatness of Lincoln's vision in which "he saw more clearly than the men of his time the moral relation of things." Peculiarly fitting to some questions confronting the present administration were his remarks on moral unity in which he said:
"That national unity for which Lincoln laid the foundation requires perpetual adjustment for its maintenance. How great our country really is, how diversified are its interests, is almost beyond the comprehension of any man. Yet great and diversified as it is, any pretense of sound morals or sound economics requires that each part, each section and each interest should be looked upon by the government with like solicitude; all sharing the common burdens, all partaking of the common welfare. There is no sound policy which is narrow, or sectional, or limited. Every sound policy must be national in its scope. It is always necessary to determine what will be good for the whole county."
Those are the words of a patriot, the sound utterances of a statesman and the wise conclusions of a truly conscientious executive. Our moral and national unity is being severely strained at present with a multiplicity of grave problems that seemingly grow in magnitude as the presidential election nears. There are those who would sacrifice stable forces and undermine the sacred principles of our government in order to promote partisan advantage and overthrow the party in power.
President Coolidge is undismayed in the premises, however, and meets the issue in that brave, courageous manner to be expectd of one clothed with high authority and conscious of his responsibilities. He refuses to be swept off his feet and is encouragingly logical in his interpretation of governmental functions, both as to his own limitations and that of Congress. He makes clear his position on tax reduction, farm problems and the bonus question. As to the Teapot Dome scandal, he sets at rest all doubts as to his high purpose as follows:
"The heart of the American people is sound. Their officers, with rare exceptions, are faithful and high-minded. For us, we propose to follow the clear, open path of justice. There will be immediate, adequate, unshrinking prosecution, criminal and civil, to punish the guilty and to protect every national interest. In this effort there will be no politics, no partisanship. It will be speedy, it will be just. I am a Republican, but I cannot, on that account, shield anyone because he is a Republican. I am a Republican, but I cannot, on that account, prosecute anyone because he is a Democrat."
This is exceedingly Lincolnian in concept and character, evincing the same lofty spirit that carried the beloved liberator through turbulent political storms and earned for him the affectionate tribute of all loyal American citizens.
EFFICIENCY
THE watch word of present day civilization is efficiency. It is the slogan of all human endeavor, and if followed to its logical ends means a better world in which to live. No longer will the old worn-out, slip-shod method of conducting business or even following a given profession or trade answer the needs of the hours for the world is demanding only the best in everything. Hence the cry for efficiency experts in all that-mankind encounters and endures. The young man or woman is making a poor start in life who deems a partial equipment, either educationally or industrially sufficient to meet the world's keen competition for it will not be long before they find themselves trailing far in the rear of civilization's onward tread and in many instances only complete failure is the outcome. There is a natural disposition to avoid the inefficient in any line, while increased compensation is the legitimate reward of the highly efficient.
In the Professions
Society is blessed with honored professions, the law, medicine, dentistry, science and the ministry. For the most part these have kept abreast with the advances of civilization, indeed marking the lines plainly between the old and the new. Science has at times taken such long steps in the advance as to border upon prophecy. In most instances, however, its findings are born of necessity and for this reason we readily adapt ourselves to its baffling mysteries. Thus what is seriously doubted today may become an accepted fact tomorrow. In the law, a lawyer can no longer justify his calling by qualifying as a simple barrister, nor does his legal education end with the class day essay. A five-year reading of law books before admission to the bar must be followed by a life-time study of the intricacies and entanglements of the law afterward. The same is true of medicine and surgery. The physician or surgeon who regards his education as complete with the placing of a diploma on the wall becomes merely an ally to the undertaker and is an injury to society rather than a help.
Medical science is conquering many human ailments that refused to yield to treatment in the old days and surgery is accomplishing some marvelous feats in our day. These come only from constant study and research with a view to placing the professions upon the highest plane of efficiency. As to the college halls or ministry, we are not so much concerned over the line of demarkation between modernists and fundamentalists as we are that an established increment of efficiency be found in both. No one agency of human guidance suffers more from the lack of efficiency than the church and it can be said without straining the truth that the ministry has not kept step with the tread of intelligence and the eternal cry for knowledge. Eminence in the profession is a dis-
tion that should bed evoutly sought but can only accrue to the highly efficient.
In the Trades and Labor
It is not in the professions alone, however, that one must be peculiarly fitted for the call of duty. If one finds it his lot to be a janitor, he can dignify the position by being a good one, by seeking paths of originality and doing just a little different and perhaps a little better than his predecessor. Many men have accumulated snug fortunes by shining shoes, but they have in the main proven artists in their line. In fact, the day laborer and tradesman is fast learning the lesson that maximum results and corresponding wages can only be obtained through an efficient application to their given tasks. There was a time when every community was afflicted with a lecherous horde who prided themselves upon their ability to "get by" without work, or if working at all, merely following a doubtful and monotonous routine. It is a matter of praise and thanksgiving that these social leeches are becoming fewer and fewer with each succeeding year and soon can only be classed with the outcasts and the despised.
THE BUSINESS WORLD
From a salesman behind the counter to a buyer in the great markets of the world, the essential requirement of the day is that one must be especially fitted for the job. We are sometimes astounded at the achievements of "big business," but if we would study their methods we would find it solely the result of organization which in the last analysis means efficiency. In recent months our own city has witnessed the merging of giant financial institutions and their official announcements have invariably stressed but the one term—efficiency, when in reality the layman had carried the notion that many of them had already attained the apex in this regard.
Thus if combinations of capital find it expedient to cut down the overhead expenditures without an impairment of its ability to meet public needs, how much more essential is it that the business man of small means should carefully look to a more sane and fitting conduct of his affairs.
Politics
One almost forgets the need of efficiency in governmental affairs until the public is brought face to face with such a public scandal as is now brewing in Washington over the Teapot Dome issue. A careful survey of the charges and counter charges being made on every hand reduces itself to the simple question, honesty in public affairs. Leave this element out of the calculations and no degree of efficiency is possible. But we put faith in men and measures, denying to any party or set of politicians a monopoly of political virtue and honesty. We believe for the most part our public men are inspired by a desire to serve the very best interests of the people. But when the contrary is found true, there is but one remedy, i. e., to speedily replace them with men of high honor and with a regard for their special fitness for the particular office or responsibility.
In Agriculture
A few weeks ago we reproduced the story of Riley Rogers of Lawrence, Kan., from Farm and Fireside, in which it was told how this Negro farmer makes $6,000 a year from tilling twelve acres of ground. Not only has his farm supported a large family and provided for the owner's old age, but it has furnished a university education for the farmer's six children. Mr. Riley attributed his success to the fact that he paid more attention to the business side of market gardening than others were doing. His aim was to supply everything the truck market demands, even if he lost money on some of his products. The result was that he could supply all the garden truck any merchant needed, which insured his continued trade, year after year.
This conclusion is obvious that there is still a profitable return to be gained from farming, if one raises the right kind of produce and keeps in touch with a ready market. Industry, energy and business intelligence are necescsary in farming, as in any other kind of business to bring results.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
By John T. Adams, Chairman of the Republican National Committee
L INCOLN'S life was so filled with facts which serve as examples for all American citizens that it is hard to select which should be most emphasized.
Lincoln's viewpoint was national. Early in his public career he took a firm stand against sectionalism and what today is known as the "bloc" system in politics. In a letter to Schuyler Colfax in 1859, relative to the approaching campaign of 1860, Lincoln said "the point of danger is the temptation in different localities to 'platform' for something which will be popular just there." He then pointed out how selfish sectional interests and the limited viewpoint of little groups were obstacles in the way of getting together on fundamentals affecting the welfare of all the people.
One of his dominating qualities was firm adherence to a principle, even in the face of great temptation and pressure to "play politics" for sake of temporary advantage. In fact Lincoln became the first Republican President because of this characteristic. In his contest with Douglas for election for United States senator from Illinois in 1858, Lincoln refused to compromise upon the subject of slavery. His party associates urged him to make some concessions in order that he might win the election. Lincoln refused to sacrifice a principle for expediency, giving utterance in his refusal to the famous statement that "no nation can exist half slave and half free."
Lincoln was a party man who believed in party government and party responsibility. He worked with and within the party organization at all times. In 1864 a group of malcontents became dissatisfied with the manner in which he was conducting the war. They attempted to start a third party with the slogan that the war was a failure.
He lost the election and sacrificed a seat in the United States Senate. But by so doing he aroused the North to a realization of the importance of the issue of slavery and earned the confidence of the people to such a degree that he' was nominated for President and carried the elections in 1860.
Instead of this causing him to waven or compromise it only attached him more closely to his political organization and emphasized the necessity, at such a critical period, of a responsible government. There is a timely moral in this which cannot be overestimated at this period in our national affairs—The National Republican.
Lincoln was an outstanding example of the fact that men who would be trusted leaders must know neither fear nor hypocrisy, must not blow hot and
filling in wherever his trieless hand and steady judgment was needed, culminating finally as superintendent of industries, which he held until his ill health forced him to retire from active service.
Booker T. Washington's Brother Dies Victim of Long Illness
Mr. Washington reared a splendid family, his daughters being talented musicians, and one son occupying a position of merit in Ohio. The funeral services were held in the Institute Chapel Monday afternoon.
John H. Follows Founder of Tuskegee
Tuskegee, Ala., Feb. 9.—John H. Washington, brother to the late Booker T. Washington, founder of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, died here Saturday, Feb. 2nd, after a long and devastating illness.
As the Navajos have no silver mines in their country they use the Mexican silver dollars, which are melted and molded or hammered into desired forms.
Born 70 years ago at Halesford, W. Va., Mr. Washington graduated from Hampton Institute and inspired by the vision that filled the heart of his brother, came to Tuskegee in 1885, a few years after his brother had started the institute. He was most actively associated with Dr. Washington in his development of the school, occupying many positions of responsibility and

By the New Advancing Giant Power-the Power of Organized Business Men
By PAUL P. HARRIS, Founder of Rotarians.
THE word friendship has been given a new meaning by Rotary And Rotarians, flushed by success, have even dared to dream of the day of universal brotherhood. The great opportunity of Rotary, I believe, is in cementing international friendship, in helping to establish world harmony. Business has come to be a second consideration in Rotary, although in the beginning that was uppermost in my mind.
Recently a London divine, one of the world's greatest leaders in religious thought, commenting on civilization's collapse, expressed the opinion that none of the old forces were capable of bringing the world back to peace and to God; that what politicians and churchmen had failed to accomplish, possibly might yet be done by the new advancing giant power, the power of organized business men.
Rotary must not be a small esoteric circle, a close corporation, a snug and smug bourgeois group. The Rotary ideal is too big to be confined within narrow bounds. It has already burst its bonds, not once or twice, but a dozen times. Only a portion of the power of the Rotary ideal of friendship and service is within the confines of Rotary. Vast storehouses of it are to be found radiating from and broadcast by the groups we know as Kiwanis, Lions, Exchange, Optimists, Gyro, Civitans, etc., etc.
There we have the business of our organizations—our service clubs—utilizing another way than the way of creed and dogma, to transform the individual capacity for unselfish service, unit by unit, into a force of world-wide friendship and good will—a way which ignores creed and glorifies deed, a way which is open to Protestant and Catholic, Jew and Gentile, Christian and Mohammedan. Ours must, always, I am convinced, be the service way, the way of real service, if it is to be the transformer of great spiritual energy. If we are to realize the maximum of its possibilities, the urge to unselfish service must eventually reach all men. Any ambition short of that is ethically, spiritually unsound. Let us look and pray for bigger things. This is not a day of little gods. We are in an age of big things. Material progress is almost beyond understanding.
"Shall I Say Frankly That Europe Is Envious of the United States?"
By SIR A. MAURICE LOW, in New York World.
The United States is not only financially strong, but politically powerful. It can face its future without dismay. It has no fears of its credit being weakened, or its security assailed. Of what other country in any other part of the world can this be said? Europe lives in an armed camp where men, still with nerves unstrung from the effects of the war, foolishly play with explosive bombs and tanks of death-dealing gases.
Those trembling hands and uncoordinated brains may at any time drop a bomb or turn the valve of a tank and then we shall again be wrapped in the mourning which we still wear in our hearts. Shall I say frankly that Europe is envious of the United States—her wealth, her power, her happiness, her comforts, her life of ease? Americans do not appreciate how fortunate they are.
If they went to Europe and saw life as it really is, not from the luxury of fashionable hotels, or through the glamour of smart restaurants, or the servility of expensive shops, and knew how the masses of Europeans are living, not the working classes but people who were considered well off and able to enjoy not merely comfort but luxuries, they would understand the reasons for this envy. I am sure no apology is necessary. The facts are sufficient.
"In America I Should Have Scorned the Idea of Social Welfare Work"
By EMMA GOLDMAN, in "My Disillusionment in Russia."
Life certainly has a way of playing peculiar pranks. In America I should have scorned the idea of social welfare work: I should have considered it a cheap palliative. But in Socialist Russia the sight of pregnant women working in suffocating tobacco air and saturating themselves and their unborn with the poison, impressed me as a fundamental evil. I spoke to Liza Zorin to see whether something could not be done to ameliorate the evil. Liza claimed that "piecework" was the only way to induce the girls to work. As to restrooms, the women themselves had already made a fight for them, but so far nothing could be done, because no space could be spared in the factory.
"But if even such small improvements had not resulted from the Revolution," I argued, "what purpose has it served?"
"The workers have achieved control," Liza replied; "they are now in power, and they have more important things to attend to than restrooms—they have the revolution to defend." Liza Zorin had remained very much the proletarian, but she reasoned like a nun dedicated to the service of the church.
The thought oppressed me that what she called the "defense of the revolution" was really only the defense of her party in power. At any rate, nothing came of my attempt at social welfare work.
Must Automatic Work Bring About Deterioration of the Workers?
By DR. HELEN T. DUDLEY, Merrill-Palmer School, Detroit.
It seems to be an accepted fact that automatic types of work are on the increase. The whole trend of production seems to be in the direction of increasing automatic processes.
It has further been accepted as a fact by many people that the effect of automatic work must be to bring about deterioration of the worker. But what kinds of work are strictly monotonous or automatic? The classification has usually been made by some very intelligent onlooker. Now a process which would seem hopelessly automatic and uninteresting to a highly intelligent person might contain sufficient elements of variety and interest for one of limited intelligence and small training to make it mentally satisfactory. It is notoriously difficult to get many workers who have once acquired skill and speed in a given automatic process, to be willing to change and learn another one. If the monotony were proving irksome it seems as though a change of occupation would be far more welcome than it proves to be.
Furthermore, it is very easy to confuse cause and effect. It may be that the man selected automatic work and was content to stick at it because he was a very inferior human being. It may even be that he has profited more by it than he would have by attempting something beyond his capacities.

JULIUS P. PERKINS LAID TO REST
Great Throng Attends Funeral Service
All that was mortal of Julius P. Perkins was laid to rest in Fairmount cemetery last Sunday afternoon, following one of the most largely attended funeral services ever held in Denver. Every church in the city was represented either by the pastor or officers and many prominent white citizens were in the vast throng. Mr. Perkins was one of Denver's most popular Negro citizens and his untimely death has gripped the hearts of thousands. Many elaborate floral offerings, especially the massive blanket from the Neusteter store, attested the love and esteem in which he was held by all who knew him. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. W. K. Thomas, pastor of Shorter Church, who spoke beautifully of his life and Christian contribution to the community.
Other pastors assisting were Revs. Liggins, Wilson, Perkins, Uggams, Powell, Stripling and Coopwood. Dr. Westbrook read the obituary. Shorter's full choir participated and sang with much feeling some of Mr. Perkins' favorite hymns. The sorrowing family were given every aid and comfort that loving hands and hearts could offer.

DON REEVES, POPULAR DENVER
CTIZEN, LAID TO REST
The death of Don Reeves, Wednesday, February 6, cast a gloom over the entire community in which he was held in much esteem, and the impressive services held at the People's Presbyterian Church last Sunday, attended by all classes of citizens and people of both races, and the beautiful floral offerings, gave attestation to the life he lived among his fellowmen and his usefulness to those with whom he came in contact. He was born in Smith county, Tenn., Feb. 7, 1861, and had he lived one day more would have rounded out sixty-three years of existence. He was married to Lillie Cox, April 2, 1882, in Springfield, Mo., and lived very happily for nearly forty-two years, twenty-two of which were spent in Denver. He was a devout Christian and allied himself with the Presbyterian church from early manhood, remaining unto the time of his death. He was one of the officers of the People's Church and was an ardent supporter and worker of and for its cause. The Rev. C. H. Uggams, pastor of the church, officiated, assisted by Rev. W. H. Thomas, who spoke in glowing terms of the life of the deceased.
Resolutions from the trustees of the People's Church, Class No. 12 of Shorter A. M. E. Church or which his daughter, Mrs. B. C.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES
The Hi-Y Club rendered a most interesting program at their weekly meeting last Friday night in the form of a debate on the subject, "Resolved, That Life Is a' Game of Chance." Mrs. Elliston, Mr. Titus of the Central Association, and Counselor Carey acted as judges. The affirmative was represented by Fred Polk and Hosea Hicks, while Charles Clark and "Ulie" Andrews brought up the negative. Had any one been listening from the outside he would have thought that he was listening to old and seasoned debaters rather than to a set of high school boys. The argument on each side was so close that the judges' decision came near resulting in a tie—affirmative 83, negative 85.
For the past four weeks a discussion course has been held at the Central Association each Monday noon. During the past two weeks the race problem has been much discussed. A large group of our representative men attended the last two sessions and contributed greatly to the discussion. It is expected that some permanent good may grow out of the movement as a result of these discussions.
The Father, Mother and Son banquet which was served at Scott M. E. Church on Monday evening was the most successful ever held. It was fostered by the Olinger Cadet Band and the Pioneer (C. C. T. P.) groups of New Hope, Scott, Central, Campbell and Mt. Pleasant churches. Leo H. Davis, leader of the band, was the guest of honor. A program was conducted by one of the Pioneers and participated in by different pastors and others. Seventy fathers and Mothers and Sons sat down together, and the ladies served a sumptuous dinner. Several Big Brothers also had their Little Brothers present. At the close of the dinner it was a beautiful sight to see the boys going off between their dads and mothers.
"WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO START WORK ON THE NEW BUILDING?" If you are about to ask this question, the answer is: Just keep your ears to the ground; you'll hear something drop some morning.
A splendid program will be rendered tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. The program will be held at Zion Baptist Church. Mr. R. Hickman Walker, a prominent down town attorney, will be the speaker. The subject will be "The Unfinished Work of Lincoln." In this address he promises to deal principally with the cleavage between the North and South occasioned by slavery and the war, and the still unacquired rights and freedom of the Negro. Mr. Walker is said to be one of the greatest authorities on the subject in the city. It is our hope that our people will turn out in large numbers to hear him on this important subject. The program will begin promptly at 4 o'clock.

THE DATE OF WASHINGTON'S BIRTH
THE DATE OF WASHINGTON'S BIRTH
OLD records—what stories they can tell. Sometimes full of romance, sometimes startling in their disclosures. It would seem that Washington's birthday, observed for so many years on February 22, was a celebration founded securely on accurate historical facts. Yet buried in the family Bible of Washington's mother and written in her own handwriting is an entry which makes one pause with surprise. There she has clearly recorded the astounding statement that George Washington was born on February 11. Certainly no one should know more about this important event than Mrs. Washington. There it is in black and white in her own handwriting:
George Washington, son to Augustine and Mary, his wife, was bore ye 11the of February, 1732, about 10 in the morning, and was baptised the 3d of April following. Mr. Beverley Whiting and Capt. Christopher Brooks, godfathers, and Mrs. Mildred Gregory, godmother. Family Bibles, especially in those times, were the last word in accuracy, so this statement must be accepted as indisputable.
By the latter part of the Sixteenth century the calendar year had become askew with the astronomical year. It seemed important that a readjustment be made and Pope Gregory XIII, after careful consultation with the learned men of his time, decreed that in 1582 10 days should be dropped and arranged what has since been called the Gregorian calendar. The mandate of the pope was followed that year by Spain, Portugal, Italy and France, but England would have none of it and continued on the basis of the old calendar for another century and a half.
Difference of Eleven Days.
By 1752 in England the discrepancy had mounted up to 11 days, and the disadvantages of two systems of dates was causing great annoyance. It was necessary to date letters going from England or her colonies to France with the days of both systems; for instance, February 11-22. So at last to avoid all this confusion England officially adopted that 11 days be omitted in the year 1752 between September 3 and September 14.
So for Washington, his birthday in 1753 and all succeeding years fell on February 22.
But there is another record which throws light on what was probably the first public recognition of his birthday. This time the record is in his own handwriting. While commander in chief of the Continental armies, with all his other responsibilities and duties, Washington found time to keep exact records of all his expenses. These expense accounts were several years ago made available by their transferral from the Treasury department to the library of congress where they were placed with the great collection of Washington's papers there.
In one of Washington's daily expense account books there is an entry, under date of February 22, 1778, which reads:
Cash paid the 22nd Inst. to Proctor's band by the G. O....15s.
WASHINGTON'S EXPENSE
Based on the expenses for three months in 1789, Washington figured his year's outlay at about $25,000. When Washington became president he was unwilling to receive any money from the public treasury beyond his actual expenses. At the time his household included a secretary, an assistant secretary, three aids and eighteen servants, while a livery of sixteen horses also figured into the yearly cost.
---
An interpretation of this brief note shows that the band of Colonel Proctor's Fourth Continental artillery apparently took it upon itself to serenade the commander in chief. This old record brings to light that Valley Forge, with all that that name means of privations and suffering, was the setting where was staged what was undoubtedly the first recognition in any public way of Washington's birthday.
French First to Celebrate.
French First to Celebrate.
There is still another record of those Revolutionary times which touches us perhaps most polignantly today. To the French is credit due for the first public celebration of Washington's birthday. It was in February, 1781, that Comte de Rochambeau, with true French spirit, declared a holiday for the French troops who were then located in Connecticut. Washington's birthday fell that year on Sunday, so the French general specified that the following Monday be set aside for the celebration of the birthday of his commander, whom he so highly esteemed.
It was another of the many evidences of the close ties between France and America which existed in Revolutionary times. It was on that memorable occasion that was first laid the foundation of our national holiday.

One of the unique relics of American history still extant is the 16-blade pocket knife which was presented to George Washington by Capt. Samuel De Wees in 1784. The many blades, it will be noted, are arranged to fold into four slots placed at right angles to each other in the handle. The knife is now the property of George De Wees of Chicago, Ill., a descendant of Captain De Wees.
TEAPOT DOME MAY RESULT IN GOOD
SCANDAL LIKELY TO HELP SAVE
THE NATURAL RESOURCES
OF THE COUNTRY.
By EDWARD B. CLARK
Washington.—There are some Washington officials who believe that the scandal attending the Teapot Dome transaction will prevent for years the exploitation of the mineral, forest and oil lands of the government by private capital, even if safeguarded sanely in its operation.
It seemingly is certain, however, that out of the apparent evils attending the Teapot Dome lease there will come benefit for the cause of the saving of what is remaining of the natural resources of the country. It probably will be some time before consideration will be given to leases on a large scale, and therefore the natural resources will be saved until thorough investigation can be made of proposed means to exploit them.
The government now apparently will be afraid for a time to sanction any enterprise of private capital in the public domain even though it be hedged in with all sorts of precautions to make certain a proper return to the people for that which they have leased. Men of capital probably will be afraid for some time to come to enter into any public domain enterprise because of the suspicion which at once will attack to their projects.
The general feeling in Washington is if there had been a more thorough study of conditions prior to the leasing of the Teapot Dome to the oil people all trouble would have been avoided, and some men who apparently "knew what they wanted" would have escaped their present plight and would not today be called upon to prove their innocence.
Wallace and the Forestry.
It is easy for Washington to understand now why Secretary Wallace of the Agricultural department took such a firm stand in opposition to the transfer of the forestry service from Agriculture to Interior about a year ago. Mr. Wallace did not want to see the forests under his jurisdiction turned over to the exploitation of private capital without knowing all about what ultimately was to happen to the government preserves. There was rather a grave personal controversy over the attempt to transfer forestry from one department to another.
When President Harding started for Alaska it was believed he was favorable to the plan to give the Interior department control of the forests. After he had been to Alaska in the company of Secretary Wallace he changed his mind and in a public statement declared himself entirely satisfied with things as they were and still are,
The navy has land set aside from which it can draw oil supplies. Some of these lands are in California and from time to time there have been charges that private enterprise has been doing what it could to deprive the navy of its holdings, or at least to secure them under some kind of a lease which seemingly would safeguard the sea service and yet give private enterprise plenty of returns to justify its entry into the field.
Not Likely to Happen Again.
The understanding is that the far-distant fields were saved to the government, but whether or not private enterprise has succeeded in getting some hold upon them, Washington now believes that the developments of the last few days will prevent any recurrence of the Teapot Dome happenings. The attempt to save the government resources from private exploitation goes back to the days of Theodore Roosevelt when he intervened to present an individual, or at any rate a small company of men, from utilizing the water power on a stream in Missouri without proper compensation to the government.
This case was seemingly of little importance, but it loomed large in the public eye. The law has it that the federal government has control over navigable streams. It was maintained that a small Missouri river, the waters of which the private corporation wished to use, was not navigable. It was declared navigable after it had been ascertained that small flat boats could be floated upon its waters. The government, therefore, assumed jurisdiction.
So from that time on, at least during the Roosevelt administration, private capital when it undertook to exploit the government resources was compelled to make arrangements for proper return to the federal treasury which, of course, meant a proper return to the people. Checks have come from time to time on the attempts of men to secure government concessions for private gain. The development of suspicion in the Teapot Dome case probably will prevent for some time to come even the proper exploitation of public holdings by private concerns.
Conventions and Candidates.
An old-time Democratic politician in Washington, a man whose memory casts a long shadow, has said that in one way history will not repeat itself in New York city next June. "In 1868 Horatio Seymour," he said "actually was dragooned into accepting the Democratic nomination." He added that it will take no dragooning to induce Mr. McAdoo, Mr. Underwood, Mr. Smith, Mr. Ralston, or any other man of active or latent ambi-
tions to accept the gift of the convention.
It is only in passing, but let it be said that there are two Horatto Seymours living today. The Democratic candidate of 1868 had neither sons nor daughters, but he had a nephew, Horatio, the second, who died some years ago leaving a son Horatto, who also has a son, another Horatto. The present Horatto Seymour is an engineer living in Santa Monica, Cal.
If all the dire things had happened to this republic that politicians just before national conventions predicted would happen to it if a man not of their choice were elected president, there would not be a shred of liberty left in this land. The people, however, seem to be satisfied that in considerable measure they have the same kind of freedom that was the joyful possession of their forefathers, and therefore, if one may be allowed to give opinion, some liberty is pretty sure to remain in the United States, whatever may happen in Cleveland and in New York in the month of roses this year.
Prior to the Republican conventions of 1872 and 1912 the ghost of Caesarism walked abroad in America. In a speech at the Democratic convention at Baltimore in 1872, August Belmont saw the ghost striding through the convention hall.
Dire Forecasts of Other Years.
In his speech Mr. Belmont said that Grant, aided by a corrupt congress, a congress from which all love of liberty had departed, was assuming all the functions of government of whatever kind, and that the bayonets of a military despotism already were flashing in the sun. The New Yorker declared that "Caesarism and centralization are undermining the foundations of our federal system and sweeping away all constitutional bulwarks."
In 1912 when Roosevelt entered the campaign for the nomination against Taft the ghost of Caesarism walked again, or at least so the Democrats and many Republicans made declaration. The republic, however, still lives. The country always goes to the devil in a thousand different ways just before the delegates to the great national convention start toward the meeting halls.
In the aftermath gossip of the meetings of the Democratic national committee, there is to be found little to suggest that New York became the choice as the convention city because of a desire to check the ambitions of William G. McAdoo. Many of Mr. McAdoo's friends voted for New York feeling, they said, that their chief had a start on the road to victory and that even the Alfred E. Smith enthusiasm of the metropolis could not make for the favorite's defeat.
In 1862 the Democratic convention was held in Chicago in what was called the Wigwam. The roof of the Wigwam leaked. The smallest hole in it was the skylight. There was a real wet and dry Issue before the Democrats in that convention. All the delegates carried umbrellas to the ball, and a good many of them were compelled to use them, for the heavens remained open for four days and poured their contents on the more or less devoted heads below.
Abuse of the Day Soon Forgotten.
Abuse of the Day Goes Forgotten.
The New York delegation one year, with the sole exception of one man, was for the nomination of David Bennett Hill. The New Yorkers said things about Grover Cleveland, a citizen of their state, which made some of the delegates from other places think that the last word had been used in denunciation. However, although New York was strongly opposed to the nomination of Cleveland, he carried off the prize.
Whoever it is that shall win the prize in New York probably may rest assured that the delegates will forget all the bad things they may have said against him in the convention hall. After Cleveland had been called everything just this side of things constituting criminal libel, the New York Democrats went home and said it was all in the game, "but we wanted Hill." The party men from Good Ground, L. L., to Buffalo on the Lake, Tammanyites and all, worked for the election of Cleveland and elected him. When you hear anything about a candidate in national convention from a delegate who opposes that candidate's nomination, do not believe it. Generally speaking, after the convention the delegate himself will tell you that the heat of controversy made him a first-class llar.

Cooking Rice So That It Is Flaky and Each Grain Separate. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)
Rice can be cooked so that it is flaky and so each grain remains separate, say food specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture. To obtain this result wash the rice thoroughly, boil it in a large proportion of water, and do not overcook.
To 1 cupful of dry rice, use 4 or 5 quarts of water, and 1 teaspoonful of salt. Wash the rice through several waters until all the loose starch is removed, and drain it. Have the boiling water ready in a deep saucepan, add the salt, slowly drop in the rice, and allow it to boil rapidly for about 15 or 20 minutes, or until a grain when pressed between the thumb and finger is entirely soft.
In order to prevent the rice from sticking to the pan, lift it if necessary from time to time with a fork, but do not stir it, for stirring is likely to break the grains. When sufficiently cooked, turn the rice into a colander or a sieve, and after the water has drained off, cover with a cloth and set over a pan of hot water on the back of the stove or in the oven; or turn the rice into a shallow pan, cover with a lid, and place it in a warm oven for a short time. Treated in this way the grains swell and are kept separate.
Many Little Details Which Escape Attention.
(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)
While most good housekeepers pride themselves on being able to care properly for the food they purchase and prepare for their families, there are many details in connection with the handling of specific foods which may have escaped the attention of many housewives unless they have made a special study of the subject. Again, although everyone knows that spoiled food is both unpleasant and dangerous, many persons do not know that food may be contaminated with dangerous bacteria and yet show no outward traces of spoilage.
Farmers' Bulletin 1374, "Care of Food in the Home," prepared by the bureau of home economics, gives information as to the forms and causes of food spoilage and suggests methods of keeping various ordinary foods in good condition.
Emphasis is placed on keeping all foods clean: that is, protected from visible dirt and from contamination by insects and other carriers of dangerous micro-organisms. Most kinds should also be kept cool. Dry foods, such as crackers, need to be prevented from absorbing moisture, and succulent foods, such as fresh vegetables, from losing it.
The following practices, which are brought to the reader's attention, in connection with the home care of food, serve to remind the experienced housekeeper as well as the novice of points that will bear watching in her kitchen, pantry and icebox, whether she cares for the family food personally or intrusts it largely to servants or other persons:
Milk, fresh meat, poultry and fish, and many fresh fruits and vegetables should be kept at a temperature of 50 degrees F., or preferably less, in order to check the growth of microorganisms that cause souring and decay.
All fruits and vegetables that are to be eaten raw should be thoroughly washed, for even though they look clean, dangerous bacteria may cling to skins or leaves. As a rule, uncooked meats of any kind should not be eaten. Smoking meat does not kill parasites.
Left-over cooked foods should be kept cold and covered, used promptly, especially in warm weather, and, if possible, heated thoroughly before being served again. Dangerous poisons sometimes develop in such foods without making noticeable changes in taste or smell.
Flour, sugar, cereals and other dry groceries should be kept dry and protected from household pests. Tea, coffee and spices hold their flavor best in air-tight containers. Canned foods keep best in a cool, dry closet or storeroom. Those in glass jars should be shielded from the light to prevent possible fading. Under household conditions, the refrigerator is oftentimes the best means of keeping food cool. Choose one with well-insulated walls, put only clean ice and clean food in clean containers into it, and keep it clean by the daily practice of genuine neatness. Food must be safeguarded from spoilage by bacteria, yeasts, and molds, by changes produced by heat and cold, light, and loss or absorption of moisture, by insects and household pests, and by animal parasites.
Adequate storage places and containers make for economy and safety in handling food in the home. Farmers Bulletin 1374 may be obtained free as long as the supply lasts by applying to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C.

But time can claim no victory o'er the heart.
Cake-making is an art and baking it is just as important. For a quick cake which eliminates the slow process of creaming the butter and adding the sugar gradually, a good cake may be made in half the time. Put all the ingredients together as follows: Break the eggs, add the sugar, the butter warmed but not melted, flour sifted with baking powder, added alternately with the milk, the beating done when all the mixing is over; beat well for five minutes, using a large egg beater or beat in a cake mixer.
In baking cake which should be baked forty minutes, divide the time into quarters. The first quarter the cake should begin to rise, the second quarter it should finish rising and begin to brown, the third quarter or when it has been in the oven thirty minutes, it should be well-browned and the last ten minutes it finishes cooking and shrinks from the pan. It is a good practice to thrust a toothpick into the center of a cake; if the toothpick seems dry the cake will be done. Another test is to hold the cake near enough the ear to notice any sound of cooking; if it sings slightly let it remain a short time longer in the oven. The sponge cake which is lightened entirely by beaten eggs is the foundation for jelly rolls, lady fingers, angel food and sunshine cakes. These are the most easily digested cakes and the best for young children.
The following is a form of cake which is very popular and is often used for dessert:
Krimml Torte.—Beat the whites of slx eggs until stiff, add one cupful of sugar—a little at a time, one-half pound of dates cut into bits, one-half pound of walnut meats cut fine, three tablespoonfuls of bread crumbs and a teaspoonful of baking powder, with a little vanilla for flavoring. Bake in layers and serve crumbled up with whipped cream, sweetened and flavored.
In putting a loaf cake mixture into the pan try to leave a hollow in the center of the pan as it is natural for a cake to hump up in the middle; this will insure a more level cake. This is true of layer cake also.
When making rolls, make them very mall and put three well-buttered into small gem pans. When they are baked they will break apart into three small, shapely rolls.
Ham Tomato Toast. Take one-half tablespoonful of minced onion, one tablespoonful of minced green pepper, cook in two tablespoonfuls of butter, then add two tablespoonfuls of flour, a teaspoonful of sugar, a few dashes of pepper, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-half cupful of minced ham and a cupful of tomato purée. Serve on toast.
Almond Toast.—Mix five cupfuls of flour, one and one-half cupfuls of sugar, one-fourth of a cupful of butter, one-half cupful of milk, four eggs, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, four tablespoonfuls of olive oil. Mix well and add at the last one-fourth of a pound of split almonds, unblanched. Knead lightly and well, using flour on the hands to keep from sticking. Turn into three well-greased bread pans and bake in a moderate oven until brown. Cut the loaves into half-inch slices and place in a pan to brown on both sides. Cool before packing away. These are excellent to serve with afternoon tea or coffee.
Fruit Drop Cakes.—Cream two-thirds of a cupful of any sweet fat, add one cupful of brown sugar. one teaspoonful of cinnamon, one-third of a cupful of ralsins and currants, two-thirds of a cupful of walnuts or pecans, two well-beaten eggs, one-half teaspoonful of vanilla, one pint of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Drop by spoonfuls on baking sheets. Bake in a moderate oven.
Creamed Peanuts on Toast.—Scald two cupfuls of milk in a double boiler, reserving a little to mix with a teaspoonful of cornstarch; add one teaspoonful of onion juice, one teaspoonful of salt, one-fourth of a cupful of chopped stuffed olives, green peppers or celery. Cook until thick, add one cupful of finely minced peanuts and serve at once on toast.

Small amounts of different kinds of greens can often be combined in one dish.

Ragout of Veal With Onions.—With a cleaver or pestle flatten a veal steak to about one-quarter of an inch in thickness. With a small, sharp cutter cut it into rounds. Cook these rounds in hot pork fat (salt) until the juice shows on the upper surface, then turn and cook on the other side; add a little broth and let simmer until the meat is very tender—about forty-five minutes; stir two tablespoonfuls of flour with tomato juice, salt and pepper to taste, into this dish; add a cupful of tomato pulp cut into pieces and cook ten minutes longer. Have ready small onions, cooked tender in boiling water, drained and browned in butter. Serve the veal and sauce in the center of the platter, with the onions around in a circle.
Ham Pie.—Take five large potatoes, sliced, one pound of ham, uncooked, two medium-sized carrots. Place a layer of potatoes, sliced, in the bottom of the pan; grate one carrot over the potatoes; cover with one-half of the ham, cut into serving-sized pieces; place another layer of potatoes and grated carrot and cover with ham. Pour boiling water to half-fill the dish. Cover and bake until the potatoes are soft. The last fifteen minutes uncover and add more water, if needed.
