LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY THE BLACKEST SCANDAL IN AMERICAN POLITICS VOL. XXX IF THERE is any sincerity on Capitol Hill in the demand for honest government, there will be no delay in the adoption of the resolution introduced by Representative Tinkham, of Massachusetts, for congressional investigation of the national problem of franchise suppression. Under the federal Constitution Congress is charged with the responsibility for apportioning delegates in the electoral college and seats in the House of Representatives among the several states. The Constitution provides that this representation shall be based upon population, but with the specific, mandatory provision that in any case where a state shall reduce its electorate there shall be a corresponding reduction in the state's representation in Congress and the electoral college. This provision of the Constitution, which members of Congress can not ignore without direct, open violation of an official oath which enjoins upon them obedience to the Constitution, is not only constitutional law but common honesty. If a state deliberately decides that certain elements of its adult population, citizens under the national Constitution are not competent to vote at the polls, then it is clear that representation should not be claimed by the disfranchising states upon the basis of this suppressed vote. It is a notorious fact that the Solid South states have eliminated from the electorate huge masses of their population. Four-fifths of the people of these states, more white men and women than black, have no voice in government. Five-sixths of the men conscripted in Virginia to save the world for democracy during the war, were from among the politically disinherited! This wholesale disfranchisement program, accompanied by many forms of force, fraud and legal trickery employed to make government by the majority impossible, has not created government by a more intelligent or competent class. Under it these states have fallen beneath the domination of reactionary political machines which exist for the purpose of dividing spoils and preferment among the limited number of persons permitted to participate in politics. These machines include few more than the number of present, past and prospective job holders, with their immediate friends and retainers. The result of this system is that the Solid South states lag a half century behind the national procession in laws affecting schools, roads, public institutions, and especially in what may be called social justice laws—laws affecting employment, tenancy, conditions and hours of labor, protection of the legal rights of women, etc. It is no accident that the states which most restrict popular participation in government have the most backward governments. The proscriptive, personal type of politics which has grown up in these states, where the business and social boycott as well as legislative larceny are employed to prevent the rise of a political opposition, has placed a blight upon these states which nothing but a revolutionary change in political methods will remove. There is sure to be political degeneracy in any community where failure to agree with an office-holding autocracy subjects the man of independent mind to personal and political persecution. There was a time when under the disfranchisement system the South was ruled by its best minds, but a glance at the local, state and national personnel of southern Democratic leadership today proves that the aristocracy which rules the Solid South today is not one of intellect and social superiority, but of cunning, chicanery and an insatiable appetite for place and power. Under this system through which the mock has been put in Democracy, the Solid South states have fifty seats in Congress and the electoral college based upon votes which the ruling oligarchy will not permit to be cast. The election returns prove this. An examination of the laws and practices which have eliminated four-fifths of the people from participation in government prove it. In the face of this blackest scandal in American politics Congress sits supine. It has refused to be interested, despite frequently repeated appeals. In violation of their oaths of office, members of Congress refuse to obey the Constitution in the decennial reapportionments. Besides this base betrayal of the fundamentals which lie at the basis of American representative government, all other scandals in national life pale into insignificance. Representative Tinkham is to be congratulated upon the courage and genuine interest in the supremacy of the federal Constitution which has impelled him to introduce his resolution. It is to be hoped that such courage and loyalty to the fundamental principles of Americanism will be contagious. It is to be hoped that other members of Congress will begin to take an interest in the enforcement of that provision of the Constitution which imposes an appropriate penalty for wholesale disfranchisement and creates the one inducement for an American method of dealing with the franchise. At any rate it is to be hoped that sometime during the present Congress those who favor and those who oppose fulfillment of the clear terms of an official oath of allegiance to the Constitution, those who believe in American representative government and those who can with equanimity witness its overthrow in a large group of states, will have the opportunity to stand up and be counted. Why not, at any rate, have the facts? A congressional inquiry will bring them out. It will enable the country to learn how far the process of substituting autocracy and tyranny, fraud and violence, for free representative government has gone in the embezzlement of power in the states of the Solid South or anywhere in the entire nation. Many politicians were able to work themselves into a lather over the Newberry case who will be found defending the corrupt system of tyranny in the Solid South. Despite this fact the probe should go to the bottom of this deep cesspool of political corruption—National Republican Steel Industrial "Boom" Benefits Colored Workers (Lincoln News Service) Washington, March 15, 1924.—A recent dispatch to the Washington press contains the following optimistic statement regarding America's great steel industry, heading up at Pittsburgh, Pa., Youngstown, Ohio, and other important steel certers: "Notable improvement has been made in the steel industry since the turn of the new year, and reports indicate that this important barometer of American business is operating today on the largest basis in twelve months." This report has a double meaning in the trend of America's industrial prosperity. First, it bespends a genuinely substantial boom in a great industry of a great country, which guarantees good steel products, good workmanship, good wages, and good conditions of labor, insuring contented workmen and a patriotic citizenry. Second, since we know that steel foundries employ a considerable number of colored workmen in the skilled as well as the unskilled occupations, we know that improvement in the steel industry means work for colored steel artisans and resultant opportunities for their advancement, the maintenance of their families, and the education of their children. Colored men have probably had a longer industrial experience in the steel industry than in any other industry, excepting, possibly, the coke industry. In the South, for more than a generation, foundries have employed colored men as moulders, millwrights, coremakers, grinders, chippers, over tenders, japanners, shake-out men, and dozens of other skilled and semiskilled occupations. It was not until these workers were given opportunities for profitable employment in the steel founderies of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, and other northern states, that they were able to receive wages of from $.34 to $1.03 per hour. And as their numbers and opportunities have increased in the North, just so much has their optimism become an everlasting optimism, backed up by permanent employment and an unaltered ballot, whereby they may expect to share freely in American prosperity in full anticipation of the safe-guarding of their lives, liberty and property. This is truly "steeling" optimism from their past experiences, which were enshrouded by fear, low wages, and unequal opportunities. Let the steel industry continue to improve, and as each era of improvement is reached, let optimism reign in the ranks of colored steel workers for they have come into their own estate. WHITELAW HOTEL SAVED Washington, Feb. 29.—The White- law Hotel, famous hostelry of Washington, D. C., walked right on the auction block and then walked right off again—without being "knocked down." The sale was postponed pending application for a loan to pay interest on $70,000 in mortgages now past due. Total indebtedness of the famous hostelry is fixed at $150,000. Check for $5,313 Brings Joy to Mrs. Julia Chearis Primm, Tenn., Feb. 27.—After long years of toil, passed in the fields of Tennessee, Mrs. Julia Chearis, known by the whites as "Mammy" is now in position to take a well deserved vacation. In fact she is rich beyond her wildest dream. Her ship actually came in. Recently the pension bureau awarded her a check for $5,313. When it was learned that she could neither read nor write, a special government agent came here to take care of her finances. It was necessary for the agent to travel many miles from the railroad station to reach her. He found her on Rural Route No. 2. Arrangements were made in the nearest bank to deposit her money and give her free legal advice. Mrs. Chearis was awarded the pension on account of the service given by her husband in the war between the states. She is said to be nearly 90 years old. She Has No Patience With Race Prejudice She Has No Patience With Race Prejudice White Actress Feels Herself Honored From an Artist's Point of View New York, Feb. 23.—"Certainly I shall play opposite Mr. Robson. I deem it an honor to take the part of Ella." And that's that. In just so many words did Mary Blair, young white actress, assert herself yesterday when it was learned that she is to have the leading part in Eugene O'Neill's new miscegenic play, "All God's Chillun Got Wings." "Mr. Robson" is Paul Robson, full-blooded Negro, who will take Miss Blair for his wife, in stage pretense, every night and two afternoons a week during the run of the play. Helen MacKellar's sensibilities are quite different from Miss Blair's. She refused the leading role when she discovered that the part of Ella's Negro husband would be played by a black man. Although an effort was made to conceal the name of the feminine lead until the opening of the drama next month, the news leaked out today and set the dramatic world agog. Never has there been such a departure from precedent's racial lines drawn in the theater. Miss Blair is young and very pretty, and has played in several dramas put on by the Provincetown players. She has absolutely no objection to throwing herself completely into the person of Jim's sweetheart and wife. Nor does she mind kissing Jim's hand as the curtain falls. "I consider myself honored in being selected as the lead, in Mr. O'Neill's wonderful play," she said. "Indeed, I do not see how any artist could feel otherwise. I have no patience with prejudiced persons. I am looking at the matter from a purely objective and artistic standpoint. "There is nothing in the role that should give offense to the most delicate and refined white woman who Pullman Porters' Wage Increase a Trick, Says Mays R. L. Mays, President of the Railway Men's International Benevolent Association, has sent out a warning to Pullman porters to ignore the wage increase offered by the company. Mr. Mays says: "I feel that the men should be acquainted with the vast savings accruing to the Company should they permit themselves to be satisfied with the rumored increase in pay instead of fighting for, first, the basic two hundred and forty hour month with or without a penny added to the present rate of pay, and, second, the advantage of the scale we propose if applied to the two hundred and forty hour month." He advises the men to kill the proposition by not voting should the Company put out ballots which instruct representatives to accept new rates of pay with present working condition or mileage for overtime since the two hundred and forty hour month will mean an average increase of over twelve dollars monthly to men making fifty hours overtime at the present rates of pay. He says "Vote our ballot instead and write me for further information." BOULDER, COLO., NEWS We are having threatening weather but it is no more than we can expect. Mr. Oscar Moore, the head waiter at the Boulderado Hotel, left for Little Rock, Ark., to look after his two children, his other wife having died recently. Rev. A. C. Murphy is planning more repairs and touching up the parsonage and church this summer. He expects it to cost about $1,000. The lecture and showing of pictures by Mrs. Cottrell* at Allen Chapel was very interesting. We learn Rev. A. C. Murphy and Mr. Henry Stevens are planning a surprise party on Mr. James Winn, Wednesday night, the 5th, as Mr. Winn is leaving for Kansas City on the 6th, planning to be gone about thirty days. We shall miss him from our midst but wish him a safe and happy journey. Mr. and Mrs. Rowell have returned to Boulder from Casper, Wyo. Rev. A. C. Jackson, pastor of the Baptist Church, preached Sunday morning, the 2nd. In the evening, it being the first Sunday in the month, the Lord's Supper was to be communicated. Rev. A. C. Murphy preached Sunday night from 'Moses and the Rod." He gave a very plain talk, a very helpful talk if practiced by those to whom it was for. desires to portray a cross-section of life and portray it decently. Yes, I shall play Ella. I have been rehearsing with Mr. Robson for some time." Eugene O'Neill and Kenneth MacGowan, director of the Provinceetown players, declare they had no racial bias of any kind in the play. They want the production judged solely on its artistic merits. Neyertheless, they have startled dramatic circles by selecting a cast composed equally of white people and Negroes to act a play that deals with a mixed marriage. Miss Blair was born in Pittsburgh. NO.21. Howard University Lacks Team Work (Lincoln News Service) Washington, March 5, 1924—The proposed amendments providing $500,000 for an addition to the Howard University Medical School was recently jeopardized by a letter written to Senator Smoot by Professor Kelly Miller, asking that the amendments be not further pressed on the ground that the House would not accede to them. The President of the University, upon learning of Prof. Miller's action in the matter, informed Senator Lenroot that the letter did not express the sentinients of the university; that the university is anxious, if possible to secure these appropriations. Upon this representation of the situation Senator Lenroot offered the amendment, which had been abandoned because of the Miller letter, appropriating $370,000 for additions to the Medical School building. It is clearly evident from the foregoing that Howard University lacks team work upon matters of legislation. Senate Restores Appropriation for Howard University Senate Restores Appropriation for Howard University Lincoln News Service) Lincoln News Service) Washington, March 5.—Although several Democratic senators, led by Senator Overman, of North Carolina, fought desperately to prevent adequate appropriations being granted to Howard University, and to thus sustain Congressman Byrnes, of South Carolina, who made a point of order against the Howard funds, several weeks ago, in the House, the Republican senators under the leadership of Senator Lenroot, of Wisconsin, were victorious and succeeded in adding $500,000 to the appropriation for Howard University. Howard's total appropriation is now $805,000, and appeals taken by the desperate Democrats on points of order, which had been overruled by the chair, were lost by a vote of 49 to 18. Smoke Screens And Prosperity Smoke Screens And Prosperity (Lincoln News Service) (Lincoln News Service) Philadelphia, March 5.—That the wave of Republican prosperity cannot be checked by the efforts of a few melancholy philosophers and Democratic politicians who are vainly trying to manufacture an "oil scandal," is indicated by the activities of our railroad systems, many of which are placing inquiries in the market for freight cars. Among them is the Pennsylvania railroad, which is reported seeking 15,000 to 18,000 cars. The New York Central is expected to announce shortly the distribution of orders for 17,000 freight cars, and more than 100 locomotives. Other companies in the market are: Norfolk and Western, for 6,000; Louisville & Nashville, 3,000; Chicago & Northwestern, 4,000; and Illinois Central, 2,000. Total orders placed recently and pending involve more than 1,000,000 tons of steel, and this means work for thousands of men. It is generally believed that had the Democrats been as busy in the manufacture of aircraft when they used the billion dollar appropriation, as they are now in the manufacture of an oil scandal, or if they had devoted the same degree of industry that now characterizes their efforts, to the manufacture of powder at the $60,000,000 powder plant that produced no powder, or nitrates at the $116,000,000 plants at Sheffield, Muscle Shoals, Toledo and Cincinnati, which produced no nitrates, it would not be necessary for them to cover up their trail by throwing an oil smoke screen just before the national election. FOREIGN Abdul Medfid Effendl, the callip, head of the Musselmans, expelled from Turkey by order of the Turkish national assembly at Angora, has left Constantinople for exile in Switzerland. Rebellious tribesmen in Morocco have begun a violent offensive against the Spanish forces over a wide section of the Moroccan battle front, said dispatches from Melilla received in Gibraltar. A series of earth shocks, the strongest felt in Costa Rica in twenty-five years, damaged fully half the buildings of San Jose and caused a number of casualties. A part of the American legation building collapsed. M. Reibel, French minister of liberated regions, told the chamber of deputies that 52,580,000,000 francs already have been paid by the French government for reconstruction in the devastated regions. Final estimates bring the amount to be expended to 62,000,000,000 francs, thus leaving 9,500,000,000 to be found. The sponsoring by the Turkish government of the bills calling for the abolition of the caliphate and suppression of religious instruction in Turkey has been the cause of much speculation on the part of British officials regarding what will be the effect of these drastic measures in India and other Mohammedan countries. Departure of Col. James Hamilton Lewis, former senator from Illinois, who has been acting in Mexico City as legal adviser to American financiers interested in proposed loans to Mexico in exchange for important concessions in southern Mexican states coincides with reports that loan and concessions negotiations have been halted temporarily. The Socialists of Belgium, in conjunction with the Flemish party, are trying to persuade King Albert to imitate Great Britain, and intrust the government to the Socialists and the Flemish group. They have a complete cabinet ready to submit to the king. The probability, however, is that the Theunis cabinet, which resigned last week, will be remodeled. Enrique Estrada and Manuel Dieguez, leaders in the Mexican rebels' western military campaign, have disbanded their troops and are endeavoring with a small escort to reach the Pacific port of Acapulco, in the state of Guerrero, to take refuge in foreign territory, according to Guadalajara dispatches quoting information received at federal military headquarters in Mexico City. With a force of American marines and bluejackets guarding the consulate at Celiba and an American destroyer rushed from Jamaica to the Honduran port of Puerto Cortes, the Washington government has been forced to take action in connection with the confusing revolutionary outbreaks in the Honduran republic, which have already cost the life of one American citizen. An American negro, whose name has not been reported as yet, was killed in the recent fighting at Celiba during which the consulate was repeatedly struck by bullets. GENERAL Prince Wolfgang von Hessen, nephew of the former German emperor, arrived in New York last week on the America. He said there was no romance connected with his trip, and that he planned to visit friends. Eighteen years after he had fled following a murder at Jasper, Ala., a friend of George Franklin betrayed him to the authorities and he will be returned to Alabama to face trial. He is accused of having been one of the men who killed Will Eaton at Drifton, near Jasper, eighteen years ago, and was arrested last week in Roseburg, Ore., at the request of Sheriff Guy O'Rear of Walker county. Declaring he no longer could accept the principles of the closed shop as applied by the Actors' Equity of the American Federation of Labor, David Belasco announced he would, before June 1, close the engagements of all his productions on tour and darken his New York theater. Judge E. N. Bowen of the City Court of Herrin swore in a special grand jury at Herrin and charged it with the duty of ending what he called a "reign of terror" in Herrin. Steel helmeted troops stood guard at the door of the courtroom, barring the entrance with leveled bayonets, challenging everyone who sought entrance and searching all comers for arms. Effie Cherry, one of the trio of Cherry sisters, famous on the stage a quarter of a century ago, opened her campaign for mayor of Cedar Rapids, In., by appearing twice on the vaudeville stage, where she delivered campaign speeches that evoked a more kindly reception than was given the sisters when they tried out in New York twenty-five years ago. At that time they were greeted by a vegetable shower. Mrs. Asa G. Candler, Sr., wife of the Atlanta soft drink millionaire, was exonerated at a Police Court hearing in Atlanta, Ga., of having been an occupant of a "dive" which charge grew out of a raid made by the police on an apartment in a fashionable residential section here in which Mrs. Candler, W. J. Stoddard and G. W. Keeling, business men, were arrested. Gov. Alfred Smith entered the Illinois primaries when his petition as candidate for, the Democratic presidential nomination was filed with the secretary of state in Springfield. THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS A BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR-EIGN COUNTRIES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE WESTERN Earl Denny stepped off a cliff near Terrebonne, Oregon, falling 35 feet and suffered fatal injuries. His skull was so severely fractured that he lived only 25 minutes after the accident. The proposal to change the commission form of government of Roswell, N. M., was lost in a bitterly contested election held in Roswell by a vote of 1,344 to 718. Paving streets and other municipal improvements were issues in the election. Declaration that he and his associates "are going to resist the government's effort to enjoin us from proceeding with the work at Diamond Creek" was made by James B. Girand in a statement made in Phoenix, Ariz., when informed that he had been made a defendant in a suit to halt construction of the Diamond Creek dam on the Colorado river. Six indictments, each specifying two counts, were returned by the Cascade County grand jury at Great Falls, Mont., against L. B. Lochkart, arrested in Los Angeles. The indictments allege grand larceny as an individual and fraudulent entries in reports submitted to the state superintendent of banks while Lockhart was president of banks at San Coulee and Belt, Mont. Executives of the federal bureau of animal industry in Oakland, Calif., and in Washington, and state experts, in the campaign against the foot and mouth epidemic in central California, made simultaneous announcements a few days ago that the epidemic is definitely controlled. Steps were taken to remove the provisional quarantine from fifteen counties that adjoin the infected area. Aolrmen have called on artists for aid in making the army's round-the-world flight, scheduled to start at Santa Monica March 17, a success from every angle. The four big world cruisers being groomed for the globe circling tour have no official squadron insignia, it was pointed out by Lieut. C. C. Moseley, commandant of the army flying field at Santa Monica, and artists everywhere are invited to submit designs at once to supply the deficiency. WASHINGTON Eighty-nine first class railroads asked the Interstate Commerce Commission to modify its order for installation of automatic train control devices. It was requested that a part of the requirements be set aside entirely and that the effective date of the others be delayed. New terms and conditions under which the government would dispose of its entire merchant fleet, comprising 1,335 vessels of various types, were announced recently by the shipping board in a general advertisement calling for bids. Records show that only a quarter of the whole tonnage now is in operation, the remainder comprising the "laid up" fleet. Strictest neutrality as between the rival revolutionary movements in Honduras has been enjoined upon American naval commanders in Honduran waters. Forestalling efforts on the part of powerful influences to "get him" for his uncovering of the oil scandals, Senator Thomas J. Walsh, Montana, sprung a new sensation by presenting the Senate oil committee correspondence between himself and E. L. Doheny, California oil magnate, regarding a suggestion that they become associated in Montana oil operations. Details of the wealth of six states at the close of 1922 were issued last week by the census bureau. Wyoming's wealth was $976,239,000, an increase of 177.2, with a per capita wealth of $4,663, an increase of 100.1 per cent. New Mexico's wealth was $851,836,000, an increase of 74.4 per cent, with a per capita wealth of $2,299, an increase of 67.9 per cent. Arizona's wealth was $1,314,255,000, increase of 190.8 per cent, with a per capita wealth of $3,511, an increase of 72.9 per cent. The public debt has been cut more than $4,800,000,000 in the four and a half years since the great war indebtedness was at its peak Aug. 31, 1919. Figures made public by the treasury show that at the opening of business Saturday the national debt was $21,781,966,852. It has been reduced $933,000,000 in the last year. President Coolidge has ordered an immediate grand jury investigation of charges that two members of Congress had accepted bribes to obtain paroles and pardons for persons convicted of crime POLITICIANS FEAR THE ALIEN BILL JOHNSON MEASURE, APPROVED BY COMMITTEE, MAY BE MADE LESS RESTRICTIVE. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—Some of the leaders of both parties today are showing signs of fear that immigration legislation as framed may injure their chance of success in the presidential election. The nature of the proposed restrictive bill is making some of the members tremble. Democratic members of house and senate who happen to represent districts outside the great cities seemingly are as strongly in favor of restrictive legislation as are the Republicans from districts usually called rural, but the majority party in congress must bear the brunt of possible antagonism from certain voters next year, because even if the legislation goes through by a non-partisan vote, the dominant party naturally will be held responsible. Rumors have been floating about recently to the effect that the Republicans will insist on changes in the Johnson bill which will rob it of some of its restrictive features and which presumably might save to the party the votes of some Americans whose hearts in the half part at least are over the water. Belflet is fairly strong here, however, that party politics will have little or nothing to do with the voting in congress when the bill reaches the stage of action. There have been developments in American life in the past few years which make it appear the question of immigration no longer is a party one. Johnson Bill Is Commended. The house committee on immigration has reported the Johnson bill favorably by a majority all-sufficient to give it standing. In reporting the bill the majority members of the committee have said that it meets every requirement which investigation has developed and that its terms meet everything which the experience of the immigration bureau have shown to be proper. The basic law of 1917 is maintained in Representative Johnson's measure, but it must be remembered that this law has no percentage quota provision within it. If the provision should be dropped out of the new law the chances are that the United States literally would be over-run with immigrants within the next year or so. This is provided against, however, in the Johnson measure by the retention of the numerical limitation given in the act of May 19, 1921, but the basis of the quota of that law is changed from the census of 1910 to the census of 1890. It readily can be seen how this will act on the quotas of the different countries of the old world. The number of the southern Europeans which can enter the country if the Johnson measure shall become a law will be materially reduced, while the number from the northern countries who will be admitted will be considerably increased. This is probably what the advocates of the new immigration law are driving at. New York State Interested. In New York state there is an actual drive on to bring pressure to bear to defeat the Johnson bill. New York cities have hundreds of thousands of voters who, it is believed, will be influenced in the next election more by what happens to the immigration bill than by what happens to the tax reduction bill. Nevertheless, this insistence on the part of thousands of the voters in the big cities that the immigration law shall be framed to let more voters in, is making other communities more insistent that the foreigners should be kept out. If congress should vote as its members feel on this subject, the Johnson bill probably would go through with few negative votes. However, the matter seems to have become one of fear to the party politicians, and it may be that the fact that this is a presidential year will act to prevent the passage of the bill in its present form. It can be taken for granted, however, that congress will not vote for anything which will give admittance to more immigrants than are allowed to come in under the present law. Tax Reduction Fight Stubborn. Tax Reduction Fight Stubborn. There is a hard continuing fight today in the lower house of congress between the different schools of thought on the best methods of reducing taxes. There are growing evidences that despite the known preference of President Coolidge for the Mellon plan as at first proposed, he will sign a bill which, if otherwise satisfactory, shall provide a compromise which will place the surtaxes at a figure considerably higher than that at which the secretary of the treasury would like to see them fixed. In letters from Washington recently it was predicted that the administration would accept a compromise in this matter. There were those who believed that the prediction was baseless, but a recent letter written by the President's private secretary, Mr. Slemp, to Representative Davey makes it appear that the forecast was sound. In his letter Mr. Slemp said: "I think he (the President) is averse to making any unqualified statement that would seem to commit him to a course of action in advance of detailed knowledge of the form the legislation will take. All of the President's discussions have indicated that he is disposed to a liberal attitude." Secretary Mellon has maintained from the first that the masses of wage and salary earners who pay income taxes will benefit from a reduction of the surtaxes. Position of Republican Party. The position of the Republican party on this matter is shown by what the Republican national committee has just had to say on the subject: "The Democratic tax plan would continue to drive men of wealth to invest their capital in non-taxable securities and thereby diminish the taxes which men of wealth pay the federal government. The Mellon tax plan reduces the surtax rate to a point where men of wealth would find it more profitable to invest their money in industry, business and other profitable enterprises and pay taxes on the profits they make at the surtax rate fixed by the Mellon plan, than they would to invest their money in tax-exempt securities." The Democrats combat this view and so prominent a Democrat and financier as William G. McAdoo, one time secretary of the treasury, has declared the Republican argument "is all bunk." The desire of the Republican leader of the house of representatives Nicholas Longworth, is to effect a compromise on the surtax rate matter which will bring to his support those Republicans who believe that the surtax should remain where it is at a 50 per cent figure rather than be reduced to the 25 per cent figure asked by Mr. Mellon. The Democrats in their plan have agreed upon a 44 per cent figure for the surtaxes. If the Republican leader can effect the compromise that he wishes it is believed that the final surtax figures will be 35 or 37 per cent. Arguing Against a Deficit One of the Republican arguments is that the present tax law together with the tariff law as it exists provides enough money to meet the operative costs of the government and to admit a surplus of over $550,000,000. This surplus, they say, could be used to pay off the public debt at a faster rate than is now the case, but they add it also could be squandered in appropriations. The Republican declaration is that the policy of the administration is to do neither of the two things. "It proposes to reduce the taxes sufficiently to eliminate the surplus." "But," it is added, "it is apparent that taxes cannot be reduced in the aggregate more than the existing surplus, else there will be a deficit. It is not economy, it is not even common sense, to propose a tax reduction program which on the face of it immediately will produce a national deficit." The Democrats in congress are meeting such statements as this with their own arguments in rebuttal. They maintain that the taxes can be reduced $623,000,000 without injury to surplus or anything else. It will take a good while for any tax reduction bill to prove whether it will work ill or good to the country. Therefore it seems to be certain that during the coming campaign all that can be said for or against the effect of any tax legislation must largely be in the nature of surmise. Scouts Give Double Service "How did we get along before we had the boy scouts, and what would we do without them?" were the queries raised by the Casper (Wyo.) Tribune in reporting two recent good turns by local scouts, in finding a lost child and in saving his mother's life by prompt first-aid. In 15 minutes after the scouts were mobilized to search for two-year-old Norman Wilson who had been lost several hours, the triumphant squad had found the little chap. When they reached the child's home they aided in restoring consciousness to the child's mother who had fainted. Not Fit for Mother "I hope that's a nice book for you to read, darling," said a conscientious mother to her engrossed schoolgirl daughter. "Oh, yes, mummy," said Miss Thirteen. "It's a lovely book, but I don't think you would like it. It's so sad at the end." "How is it sad, darling?" "Well, she dies, and he has to go back to his wife." Lingering Farewell A golfer with a reputation for excessive thrift was playing at St. Andrews, and, having teed his ball, he hesitated for so long a time that another Scotchman became annoyed and exclaimed: "What are ye dilly-dallying about, Tammas? Play off!" "Mon," replied the other glancing down at the tee, "yon's a bran new twn-shillin' ba"—and I may never see it again." Blind Scout Ranks High A blind boy scout who has so successfully combated his handicap as to be ranked an expert in knot-tying and "qualified to serve as instructor in this branch of scoutcraft," is twelve-year-old William Nottingham of Eaton, Ind., a student at the Institute for the Blind at Indianapolis. Because of his efficiency the lad during the past summer was made official timekeeper at the scout camp. The lad is said to be a "wizard" at signalling, and is interested in nature study, being able to identify a large number of plants and trees. No Microscope Needed "Do you realize what wonders there are in a drop of water?" "Sure! My wife and I spent a considerable part of our honeymoon looking at one." "What, gazing at a drop of water?" "Yes; Niagara Falls."

The well is about 1,400 feet deep and the cement has been laid at this depth. Pueblo.—Secretary Work has directed the land office at Pueblo to offer for lease a tract embracing 240 acres of public coal lands in Huerrano county, Colorado. The lease will provide for a government royalty of 10 cents a ton. Denver.—B. B. Allen, mayor of Silverton and cashier of the First National bank of that town, has been appointed a member of the state highway advisory board to replace J. A. Clay of Durango, whose term on the board is expiring. Fort Morgan,—Predicions made here that development of the oil and gas pools in northeastern Colorado will make Fort Morgan one of the largest cities in Colorado has caused animated discussion and a marked interest in real estate values. Englewood.—A lone, unmasked bandit entered the Aldridge and Benton grocery store, held up Aven Aldridge, mayor of Englewood and proprietor of the store, and his wife, and escaped in an automobile with an accomplice after obtaining $480. Denver.—Latest available reports show that there is now in Colorado 7,753,218 acres of unreserved and unappropriated land, popularly known as homestead land. This is 11.68 per cent of the state's total area, and is compared with 7,951,963 acres a year ago, or 11.98 per cent of the state's area. Calhan.—After kissing his three children,死bye, Robert W. Parsons, a farmer living three miles south of Calhan, stepped out of the kitchen door, placed the muzzle of a 22-caliber rifle to his head and killed himself. Financial difficulties, as well as domestic troubles, are thought to have deranged Parsons temporarily. Pagosa Springs.—County Superintendent R. M. Thomas is busy arranging for the county spelling contest, which will be conducted at the courthouse in Pagosa Springs Saturday, March 22, for the purpose of sending a winner to the state contest at Denver March 31. The test will consist of 100 of the most troublesome words, which will be in writing. Denver.—Rosalind Elsner, one of the heirs to the $100,000 estate of the late Dr. John Elsner, who disappeared Sunday while awaiting an examination into her sanity by a lunacy board appointed by the County Court last week, was found in Cheyenne, Wyo., with W. A. Sharpe of Denver, and taken into custody by sheriff's officers at the request of Denver police. Durango. — Edmmanis Maestaz, held at Aztec, N. M., for the murder of Juan Maestaz, permitted officers to take his photograph while standing with the skull of his victim in his hand before him. The murdered man was no relation to the prisoner. Maestaz is said to have confessed the slaying and to have admitted burying the body in a clump of sagebrush, where he later led officers. Leadville.—Society and business circles of Denver and Leadville received a surprising shock when news reached Denver of the marriage in Springfield, Ohio, of Jesse F. McDonald, former governor of Colorado, and Mrs. W. G. Harrington, prominent society matron of Denver and Leadville. The wedding took place Feb. 16 at the home of Mrs. Harrington's married laughter, Mrs. Edward Gilcrest. Loveland.—A crew of men under W. H. Campbell, road overseer, is blasting 'large rocks in the Big Thompson river, in the cimon west of Loveland. This is done as a matter of flood prevention. Limon. The most important meeting of the campaign by the Denver Civic and Commercial Association, Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad; Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce and others for better farming in eastern Colorado was held here last week. The Limon Commercial Club arranged for the gathering of farmers and business men of Lincoln county. The crowd was one of the largest ever assembled in Limon. Fort Collins.—Oil experts are mystified by the constant flow of natural gas from the bore of Fort Collins well No. 1, located three miles north of here on the Whitaker ranch, which is now at a depth of 1,500 feet. Approximately 250,000 cubic feet of gas is escaping daily from between the twelve-inch casing which is inside of a fifteen-inch casing. The larger casing is to be withdrawn and cement packed about the smaller within several days, it was announced. Denver.—Following hearings completed here relative to the proposed regulations to be issued by the department providing for storing of potatoes in licensed warehouses so they may be used as the basis of bank credits, H. S. Yobe, representing the department, said, "Almost without exception all attending the different meetings throughout the country are agreed that storage of potatoes as proposed would result in improving the potatoes entering commercial channels, as well as prove to be a financial benefit to the entire industry." CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS Denver.—A proclamation establishing an embargo on all cattle, sheep, swine and other livestock shipped into Colorado from California was issued by Acting Governor Rockwell here on account of the hoof and mouth disease prevalent in the coast state. Dr. Charles G. Lamb, state veterinarian, advised the acting governor that such a step was imperative if Colorado stockmen were to be protected, and the proclamation was the result of the conference between Dr. Lamb and Lieutenant-Governor Rockwell. Stock for which a state certificate of health has been issued will be permitted to be received in the state, however. Acting Governor Rockwell was actuated in issuing the proclamation by the fact that the hoof and mouth disease is reputed to be incurable. The last serious outbreak in this country was in 1914. Cripple Creek.—Cripple Creek's fourth important high grade ore strike since the Portland discovery, Dec. 16, 1923, is credited to the Glorietta territory of the Vindicator, classed as virgin ground. It was made in Dr. C. E. Elliott's leases, some 1,000 feet below grass roots, and northeast of the Vindicator shaft. With every shot fired by the underground force, under the direct supervision of Superintendent James W. Pherson—a successful ore-finder—the discovery grows richer in value and of greater extent, indicating another high grade shipper for the camp. Course rock, taken the full width of the ore vein—from five to seven feet—assayed $88.40 to the ton, while the screenings ylelded $105.20 to the ton. Pueblo.-Police here are puzzled by a new kind of burglar—one who enters homes, sticks pins in persons who are asleep, evidently to see them jump and hear them cry, and then disappears. That the burglar is real and no trick of the imagination is vouchered for by Mrs. Mary Jane Oldham. Her frantic calls for police brought several excited officers who, with ready weapons in their hands, were prepared to face the most desperate criminal. "He stuck a pin in my arm," Mrs. Oldham cried hysterically. "I woke up and screamed, and then he ran." Denver.—A police investigation into the activities of Patrolman Lewis R. Agnew, for six years a member of the Denver police department, was started here as the result of Agnew's suicide in the rear of his home. The patrolman shot himself in the head with a borrowed shotgun a short time before he was to report for duty at the central police headquarters. His revolvers, which could not be found, are believed by police to have been pawned. Englewood.—A million dollar foundry and machine shop will be constructed by the General Iron Works Company in Denver near Englewood during March, Robert W. Gordon, general manager of the Stearns-Roger Manufacturing Company, announced a few days ago. When completed this plant will be one of the most extensive jobbing works in the United States. Sterling.—With the death here of a man and a 5-year-old boy, the total number of fatalities from eating poisonous sausage stands at five. Every available physician has been called to attend the nine persons who are now in the Sterling hospital, seriously ill of botulinum poisoning, caused, it is believed, by the casing of the sausages. Fort Morgan.—Crushed to death between a heavy wagon laden with corn and the wall of a granary, Reuben Helfenstein of Sterling, Colo., was found by fellow workers on the farm of W. S. Stratton, ten miles north of Hillrose, Colo. The team had backed, the rear of the wagon pinning Helfenstein against the granary wall. Leadville.—Two shipments of high-grade gold ore were made from the Gilovitch lease on the Little Jonny property last week, it was announced by officials of the Ibex Mining Company. The officers declined to give the value of the shipments, which was reported to have been high. The ore was shipped to the Arkansas Valley smelter here, where the metallies were screened out and shipped to the United States mint in Denver. The remainder of the ore was treated by the smelter. In being shipped from the mine, the ore was sacked and was accompanied by a driver and another man. Inefficiency, insubordination and collection of cash not transmitted to the state treasurer as provided by law were alleged in a complaint filed last week with the state civil service commission in an effort to have removed from office James L. Beaman, manager of the Colorado Fair Association. The charges were preferred by John H. Thatcher and State Senator John J. Tobin, president and secretary, respectively, of the State Fair Association, both of whom live in Pueblo. Idaho Springs.—One of the largest crowds ever gathered together in this county attended the third get-together dinner given by the bureau of mines and commerce, citizens being present from all over the county, to listen to "booster" talks on mining and community spirit. Boulder.—Drilling operations are expected to start soon on a 4,000-acre leased area near Haystack mountain, nine miles north of Boulder, following the arrival of two carlonds of drilling machinery at Niwot, Colo. Washington Sidelights Professional Men on Income Taxation Water Supply in the Oil Shale Industry Japanese Sensitive on Race Question Secretaries Would Save the Public Land WASHINGTON. - Organizations representing more than 500,000 professional men in the United States have joined forces to indorse and support the Mellon tax reduction plan from a nonpartisan point of view. Not the least significant aspect of the meeting was the fact that it resulted in the creation of a permanent organization which will act as a national clearing house of opinion and action on matters affecting the interests of professional people as a whole, a class that has hitherto not been organized in any way. The new society is called the National Organization for Professional Co-operation. Professional societies represented at the meeting included the American Dramatists, the Actors' Equity, American Chemical society, American Institute of Chemical Engineers, American Medical association, American Society of Authors, Composers and Publishers, Artists' guild and the Authors' League of America. It is also stated that representatives of other organizations were present but could not take formal part in the movement as yet because the constitutions of their organizations required action at annual meetings or had similar restrictions on immediate action. Among organizations not listed but said to have expressed sympathy with the general purposes of the meeting "Any engineer making a trip through the oil-shale region of the Rocky mountain country will be struck by the fact that the water supply problem will have to be solved before an oil-shale industry of any considerable size can be started there," the report says. "The situation does not appear so serious to those who do not travel far from the main streams or arteries of travel, although even in these places it may cause thought. Only when one gets away from the railroads—and often that means visiting the richer shale deposits—does the magnitude of the water supply problem become fully evident. There are few large water courses, and these are generally far apart. Many of the smaller tributaries are periodic; they may be entirely dry part of the year, but roaring torrents during the rainy months. "Those deposits situated on the main water courses may seem to be adequately supplied, or so situated that they may be adequately supplied, with water for development or production work. It must be borne in mind, however, that much of the water of these streams is already appropriated for agricultural or other uses, perhaps lower down on the stream, and SECTIONS of the immigration restriction measure, pending in the house, would operate to exclude Japanese from the country, and such exclusion would be "inconsistent" with treaty obligations with Japan, Secretary Hughes contends in a letter to Chairman Johnson of the house immigration committee, made public at the State department. "The Japanese government has already brought the matter to the attention of the Department of State, and there is the deepest interest in the attitude of congress with respect to this subject," the letter added. "I am unable to perceive that the exclusion provision is necessary and I must strongly urge upon you the advisability, in the interests of our international relations, of eliminating it." If a provision making certificates necessary for immigrants coming to the United States were made applicable to Japan, Secretary Hughes said, it would be possible to obtain active co-operation of the Japanese government and an arrangement could be perfected "involving a double control over the Japanese quota of less than 250 a year," which could enter the country. Secretary Hughes called attention SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR WORK and Secretary of Agriculture Wallace have recommended to congress that the right of the Northern Pacific Railway company to acquire approximately 8,000,000 acres of government land in Idaho, Montana and Washington, under the terms of old land grants, be made the subject of an investigation by that body. The two cabinet members have asked that a joint resolution be considered withholding the issuance of any further land patents to the Northern Pacific Railway company until after congress shall have made a full and complete inquiry into that company's land grants for the purpose of considering legislation to meet the respective rights of the railway company and the United States government This request was made in the form of letters to Senator Lenroot (Rep. Wis.), and Representative Sinnott (Rep. Ore.), respectively chairmen of were the American Bar association, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, American Society of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, and the American Society of Civil Engineers. The National Organization for Professional Co-operation will be a permanent organization, and its headquarters for the present will be the Authors' Lenge of America, at 2 East Twenty-third street, New York. The meeting adopted the following resolutions: "Resolved, That the National Organization for Professional Co-operation approve and indorse in principle the bill advocated by the secretary of the treasury for the revision of income taxes, and respectfully urge upon the congress of the United States its immediate passage. "Resolved. That as professional workers, feeling that we have already been discriminated against during the nine years of the existence of the federal income tax, we emphatically protest against the proposal to limit the differentiation between earned and unearned income, because any limitation to the principle that the earned income of the individual should be treated on a different basis from unearned income is a discrimination against the best human effort of the individual, and as such is undemocratic and unjust." that the amount of such appropriation may increase, as agricultural demands ordinarily take legal precedence over industrial requirements. "At the present stage of the shale industry in this country it is almost impossible to state definitely the amount of water required for large-scale operations. The amount required known as to the possibilities of obtaining adequate water supplies by well drilling, but in many places the prospects do not look very favorable, for mining and crushing the shale will probably be similar in the coal-mining industry where similar conditions exist. The per capita domestic requirements for water will vary with the location of the plant and with local conditions. The most important use for water is in retorting and refining, but the amount that will be required for these purposes is more in doubt than that for power or domestic use. "No standard retorting or refining practice for oil shale and shale oil has yet been established in the United States. Many retorting processes have been proposed, and perhaps twenty-five or thirty experimental or demonstration plants have been erected in different parts of the country. Practically without exception, however, these plants are too small to be considered as commercial, or to give operating data that would be of much value in estimating water requirements." to the existing understanding between the two governments under which Japan undertakes to prevent immigration of laborers to the United States. In connection with his opposition to the Japanese exclusion features of the bill, Secretary Hughes said: "The Japanese are a sensitive people and unquestionably would regard such a legislative enactment as, fixing a stigma upon them. I regret to be compelled to say that I believe such legislative action would largely undo the work of the Washington Conference on Limitation of Armament, which so greatly improved our relations with Japan. "The manifestation of American interest and generosity in providing relief to the sufferers in the recent earthquake disaster in Japan would not avail to diminish the resentment which would follow the enactment of such a measure, as this enactment would be regarded as an insult not to be palliated by any act of charity. "The question is thus presented whether it is worth while thus to afront a friendly nation with whom we have established most cordial relations and what gain there would be from such action." the senate and house committees on public lands. A resolution for an investigation was introduced in the house by Representative Sinnott. The government land in question is mainly located within national forest areas in the states mentioned, and the railway company is asserting its claim to these lands under the provisions of the land grants made by congress on July 2, 1864, and May 31, 1870, commonly known as the Northern Pacific land grants. These grants were made for the purpose of aiding the railway company in the construction of its lines from Wisconsin to the Pacific coast. Secretary Wallace, under whose direction all national forests are administered, contends that congress has authority to save most, if not all, of this national forest acreage to the government if it desires to investigate the entire matter and pass the necessary legislation.

SOUND THE ASSEMBLY THE Chairman of the National Republican Committee evidently believes that conferences are good things and proper preliminary procedure with which to start a great campaign. The chairmen of the state and local committees ought to catch the spirit and get to work among the representatives of the various elements in the party ranks. It is none too early and may soon be too late. The system of cajoling and drifting and substituting of spineless servants is a dead one. Sound the assembly before the long roll has time to begin. LEST WE FORGET HUMAN society is so everlastingly indebted to the sweet ministrations of deeds of philanthropy that it would seem that it should assume a large part of our daily calculations, and should never be forgotten. Yet the fact that it is a silent factor, even though a great force and a force always for the uplift of humanity, often causes the author of a specific act of philanthropy to be soon forgotten. Sometimes it is an individual and sometimes an entire race that is the direct or indirect beneficiary of philanthropic purposes. And in this regard we know of no people on earth who have profited more than the Negro race of America. At the present time there is never a race gathering of any character in which there is not a recital of the story of our marvelous progress and achievements in such a short length of time. And well might it be, for it is a story that has no counterpart in history. We point with pride to our vast temples of worship, where the God of religion is worshipped; we speak boastingly of our temples of learning where the God of knowledge is approached. But what of these have arisen from our own efforts, have sprung from our own initiation, have been erected by our own hands, unassisted? On the contrary it would be a difficult task to point to a single avenue of advance that has not been paved in part and rendered less rough and hazardous through the big-hearted philanthropy of white friends. There are many persons, many whom we term and look to as leaders, who owe their education and mental development to the endowment or gift of some kind-hearted person, moved solely by the impulse to add to human enlightenment. Let us not confuse philanthropy with charity. The difference is easily definable though both are born of Christian knowledge and convictions. Charity, one of the sweetest of the graces, is often limited in its scope, and sometimes misguided in its ministrations. Not so with philanthropy, for arising from a sweet communion of soul known strangely to only the God sent philanthropist, there is an immortality and virtue in their benefactions that will live through all posterity. The Negro has made his greatest strides toward manhood through such benefactions. Freedom would have meant nothing to us without access to corresponding enlightenment and education. We were turned loose on a vast sea where philanthropy was a safer rudder and leading to a calmer port than law. It has been demonstrated that the cunning and evil minded may find ways of rendering the law impotent and ineffective, but there is no means within the power of man to discount the effects of a kindly deed nor to take from the cultivated mind the blessings of a rudimentary and practical education. Philanthropy then more than law has worked and is still working wonders. There is no selfish motive in the act of true benefactions, while a law may be brought into being through most selfish and hurtful motives. There is no undue pomp, ostentation or display in the kind-hearted deed of the man or woman of means who seeks solely to contribute to the immeasurable task of improving human conditions in a world full of ignorance and suffering. What a wonderful accomplishment is theirs, what a wealth of gracious good, and what an endless stream is set flowing by such liberal and wise endowments. We have in mind Meharry, Fisk, Hampton, Wilberforce, Tuskegee and many others. And we turn to all sides only to meet many professional men and women whose shingle comes not so much from these schools of themselves as from the sweet, heaven-born philanthropy that gave them being and direction. These splendid gifts more than honor those who gave, like the quality of mercy, it is not strained and blesses alike the benefactor and beneficiary. We have in our midst today some who have been so benefited, some who passed through school and were fitted for the world combat through the open nurse of kindly white friends. Shall we then forget these, even in the grievous hour that confronts us at present and seems to make our further progress difficult? Such would savor of ingratitude and surely the Negro race must never appear ungrateful for its many past blessings even though dissatisfied and indignant over present wrongs. AS TO MATTERS OF HEALTH WE ARE not far from the Annual HealthWeek Crusade and with its near approach must come a realization of the grim, relentless battle to the death being fought in every city, town, village and hamlet in America. And even out in the rural district where the air is presumably purer and food plentiful, there is the struggle going on. It is not an unusual battle that is going on, but an educational crusade and everlasting fight against one of humanity's worth enemies—Tuberculosis. In the past ten years it has claimed nearly one and a half million victims—men, women, youths, maidens, boys, girls and babies. Certainly an astounding record and it is not to be wondered that a nation is so aroused to activity. There is much encouragement to be found in the fact that the death rate is being cut year by year, and if the results of the present campaign are maintained a few years longer, tuberculosis will be ultimately reduced to a third-rate disease. We have referred to it as a campaign of education and the need of it is apparent when it is recalled that six thousand children under five years of age died in a single year, and that one man in every five whose death is recorded between the ages of fifteen and forty-five owes his death to this disease. But what is the use of digging up morbidity statistics; the thing needful is a knowledge as to how to prevent its further inroads into the human family and to curb its awful consequences with as much rapidity as possible. There is cause for evident alarm when brought face to face with the fact that about fifty per cent of all children between five and ten years of age show signs of tuberculosis infection, and only the widespread knowledge that good food, sunshine and fresh air, exercise, rest, and sleep make it possible for most children to overcome the infection and keep the death rate as low as it is. A single tubercular patient is a menace to society and so it becomes the duty of all people of all races to work co-operatively in the effort to stamp it out. Whether rightly or wrong the Negro has been held up as particularly susceptible to the disease, especially in the crowded city where living conditions are never any too good for him. Many insurance companies use this as a means of discriminatory practices. We are not prepared to dispute statistics offered in this regard, but will urge that if it be true, the lack of the proper appliances, such as open air schools, preventoria, out-door camps and sanatoriums are largely contributive to the condition. Manifestly the fight against the dread white plague is not the job of any of one race, but the task of all. It is the ambition of all agencies engaged in the battle to eventually eliminate tuberculosis in the United States, just as yellow fever has been wiped out of Cuba and Central America. To many this sounds visionary, but in the eyes of science it is a possible thing; also it is a highly probable achievement, although it means long, hard, and concerted effort. However, there are some necessary "don'ts" that must be carefully observed and impressed upon careless persons who may be sufferers from the disease. It might be of value to give a few of them here, even at the risk of tiresome reptition: Don't take any exercise except upon the advice of your doctor. Always sleep with your windows open, no difference what the weather may be. Avoid fatigue. Don't take any medicine unless it has been prescribed by your physician. Don't use alcoholic stimulants of any kind. Don't eat pastry or dainties. They do not nourish you, and they may upset your stomach. Take your milk and raw eggs whether you feel like it or not. Keep up your courage. Make a brave fight for your life. Always keep in mind that consumption can be cured in many cases and that it can be prevented in all cases. If your own disease is too far advanced for you to recover, console yourself with the idea that you can keep those who are near and dear to you from getting it. These are rules worth knowing and remembering. One of the Greatest Services America and Britain Can Perform for World By FRANK B. KELLOGG, Ambassador to Great Britain T THIS time, when Europe is divided by age-long racial hatreds, commercial rivalries and national jealousies, and when some governments have broken down, and ruin and starvation face the peoples, it is my judgment that one of the greatest services that the United States and British governments can perform for the world is to set examples of fair and broad-minded statesmanship in international dealings, maintain the sacredness and inviolability of their treaties, deal with all nations, large and small, with a spirit of fairness and tolerance, keep our own houses in order and maintain in their purity the fundamental principles on which our governments are founded. I personally favor the codification of international law rendering easier decisions of judiciable questions arising between nations under treaties and international law, arbitration through some sort of international court of justice and the limitation of naval armaments and land forces. Individuals, in their relations to the state and society, are governed by principles of law. Why should not nations, in their dealings and relations, be regulated by settled principles of law? At the pan-American conference last spring we unanimously adopted a resolution reviving and reconstituting a commission for the study and codification of public, private and international law and to renew the work interrupted by the breaking out of the war. I believe that this will be accomplished and that it will be the foundation for the establishment of settled principles for the government of nations. No question is of more importance today than the extension of arbitral and judicial settlement of disputes on all questions arising under treaties and the well-settled principles of international law. "You See, My Life Has Been Devoted to the Farm and to My Family" Ey MRS. MAGNUS JOHNSON, Wife of Minnesota Senator. I think Washington is a beautiful city, and I am glad to be here. But it is the first time the family has been separated, and if the children were here I should be quite happy, although I do miss the farm, I'll admit. I suppose I must be considered a bit old-fashioned because I do not play bridge; I do not understand it, and I have never had the time to attempt it. I don't dance, either, and I don't play golf or tennis, and I do not go in for all the latest fads in dress. You see, my life has been devoted to the farm and my family, and I have found the greatest happiness in these two interests. Unlike most folks, I suppose, who come here to live, we have made no social plans, as you call them. We are just simple people, and if anyone cares to drop in on us, same as they do at home, we shall always be happy to see them. In the short time we have been here everybody has been awfully friendly, and I have been asked to join some of the ladies' organizations. But, looking after my house, I don't think I shall have much time to go about. It Is Not Enough That Everybody May Be Taught to Read and Write By MRS. MAUD WOOD PARK, National League of Women Voters. We cannot set aside a chosen few and train them to be the ruling brain for all, or select an unhappy few for servitude. Nevertheless, the training for citizenship is an important part of any program. It is not enough that we shall work to the end that everybody may be taught to read and write. The nation will continue to suffer from real illiteracy as long as there is any qualified voter, man or woman, who cannot trace the responsibility for evil government to his own door; as long as the geography of politics is not as well understood as the geography of states. I am sorry to say that we have many illiterates in this sense of the word among us. The removal of the stain of illiteracy is a task for the men and women of the nation, and for the performance of this task we have one indispensable tool, the ballot. We cannot secure education for all our people unless we bring out the strength of all the voters to enforce their demands. The first thing to do, I believe, is to foster a new ideal of citizenship. The House Cat and the Emersonian Question Why So Hot, Little Man? By WILLIAM LYON PHELPS, in Scribner's Magazine. I believe that every household should contain a cat, not only for decorative and domestic values, but because the cat in quiescence is both a rebuke and an inspiration to irritable, tense, restless and tortured men and women. In spite of the fact that there are a hundred books published every year in which human beings are told to "relax"—tremendous and continued energy seems to be required in order to keep quiet—very few men, women and children have mastered even the elementary principles of repose. Now, when the cat decides to take his repose, he not only lies down; he pours his body out on the floor like a glass of water. It is restful merely to behold him. . . The cat seems to put up to the householder every day the Emersonian question—Why so hot, little man? Democracy Is on Trial: The Movie Is One of the Tests of Its Quality By LOUISE HAMBURGER, in Drama. The tremendous world-wide power of the movies makes it the sacred duty of every person of culture, of education, of vision to help guide their destiny. If you do not, the low-minded, the vicious and the stupid will. Democracy is on trial now as it never was before; the movie is one of the tests of its quality. What will the movie of the future reveal? How will it show up the soul of America? Will the movie of the future be a cheap, insincere, tawdry, banal, sentimental thing, or will it be a big, primal, generous, joyous picturing of life in terms of reality and beauty? The moving picture is capable of welding the world into a genuine democracy—a democracy of people who understand the same language, sense the same emotional heights and depths, and thrill to the same humanitarian patriotism. The moving picture is the level upon which democracy will turn, liberating thousands of imprisoned souls, waking thousands of dumb sleepers, swelling the procession of articulate workers who believe that truth and beauty will save the world.

Later he will go to Greenville, Miss., for a short visit with his niece, and en route home will make a brief stop in Chicago. THE COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION was favored with a splendid address from the Rev. Liggins, pastor of the New Hope Baptist church last Wednesday evening at their regular monthly meeting. A fairly large audience was present, and everything indicated new life and a determination to carry on the organization's work to a greater success for the current year. The members ought to be encouraged in their purpose to build and uplift our youth and others of the community. JAMES B. RUSSELL AND MRS BLANCHE SLAUGHTER UNITED IN MARRIAGE Stealing a march on their many friends, James B.

MASS MEETING LARGELY ATTENDED Unuual Demonstration Held at Shorter Church by N. A. A. C. P. Without single inflammatory speech, without loud acclaim of purpose and wholly devoid of the sensational, nearly a thousand of Denver's Negro citizens assembled at Shorter Church last Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock in a mass meeting of solemn determination led by the Denver branch of the N. A. A. C. P. It was in many respects the most unique and at the same time one of the most effectual mass meetings ever held in Denver. Since January 14, the night Julius Perkins received wounds that proved fatal three weeks later, Denver Negroes have stood united in purpose and in thought. At the great mass meeting of Sunday they gave substantial expression of their attitude and determination. A splendid program was rendered and of especially high value were the addresses of Miss Nelsine Howard, Rev. G. Prince and Rev. W. H. Thomas. Rev. Bryant, evangelist, conducting special services at Shorter, led the congregational singing and did much to make the meeting a success and to give it prayerful, determined air. Miss Mable Cole, with Miss Taylor of the "Y" at the piano, sang a beautiful solo. The entire program was impromptu and not one person called upon, failed to respond with their best. Nearly every colored minister in Denver took part in the meeting. Geo. W. Gross presided. Best city talent, St. Stephen's Baptist church, Monday, March 17. Grand Musicale, Auspices Men's Thrift Club.

Thus with poetic exactness did the Informal Dames Whist Club entertain their husbands at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Jenkins, 3131 Gilpin Street, Saturday, and a most enjoyable evening was spent in near fairy land. For to go back to the childhood and renew once again childish pranks and amusements is very suggestive of dream days and fairies. Mrs. James Waddell, dressed as Mary Pickford, and Joe Galnes as Oliver Twist were awarded prizes as the best interpretation of the boy and girl.

Two Girls Rescued from Blazing Club House Two girls were saved from serious injury or possible death Sunday night when they were thrillingly rescued from a second-story window of the Lafayette Young Women's club at East Sixteenth Avenue and Lincoln Street during a fire which for a time threatened to destroy the building. Fireman Tommy Gross, colored, of Department No. 3, scaled a ladder thrown against the building and caught the girls, Loretta Taylor and Ann Whipp, in his arms just as they were about to jump. He carried them down the ladder to safety through smoke rising from the blaze, which started in the basement. More than 100 girls who were in the building when the fire started fled to the street in their night clothing. Miss Taylor and Miss Whipp, frightened by the dense smoke which filled the building, appeared at the window and seemed about to jump to the sidewalk below. Firemen who had just arrived shouted to them to wait and soon the ladder was placed at the wall. Fireman Gross hurried up and brought back the girls to safety. Tommy Gross, nephew of our well known townsman, Geo. W. Gross, was appointed on the Denver Fire Department on May 1st of last year. From the very first he gave evidence of becoming a fire fighter of intrepid worth and those friends who know him best are in no sense surprised by his brave response to duty in the rescue-of two girls at the Sunday night fire. Chief John Healy and other superior officers are warm in their praise of young Gross and congratulations have showered in upon him from all quarters, in which the COLORADO STATESMAN joins. LITTLE CLUB MAKES BIG LEAP One of the most unique affairs of the pre-Lenten season was a reap-year wake given by the Lend-a-Hand Club of the Y. W. C. A., on Friday evening, Feb. 29, at the home of Dr. McClain's, 2538 Marion street. Over sixty young people danced at their mystic shrine. The house was beautifully decorated with the club colors of royat purple and gold. The color scheme extended to the sherbet and cake. In the colonnade the name of the club was cleverly and artistically suspended. The lights were made to resemble flowers of purple and gold. Caps were worn and balloons were had of the colors of the club. The guests arrived about 8:30 o'clock, each beautiful maiden escorting the gentleman whom she had chosen to bring. The music was superb and as the catchy strains floated out the heretofore bashful maidens secured herself a young knight in the leap-year fashion and glided across the floor in the moonlight array. At 11 o'clock Miss Louise Mayse, the honorable president of the club, presented Mrs. McClain two lovely presents for her kindness to the club, ope a lovely silver sugar and creamer, the other a beautiful sweet meat set. Everyone enjoyed themselves intensely and look forward to the next leap to be made by the Lend-a-Hand Club. They wonder if the men have anything to complain of and how much they surely must have learned. The officers of the club are: Miss Louise Mayse, president; Miss Mayzelma Stell, vice president; Miss Willa Hanna, secretary; Miss La Verne Williams, treasurer; Miss Eula Hicks, editor.

About the same time, according to present plans, three British army officers in a Vimy amphibian plane of 450 horse-power will start from London and fly east, over practically the same route. They are Squadron Leader A. S. Macklaren, Flying Officer W. N. Plenberleith and Engineer Sergeant Andrews. Capt. Ssecadura Cabral and Admiral Gogo Coutinho of Portugal are reported to be ready to start in the race with Fokker seplanes under government auspices. France has been talking of entering the race, but her present intentions are not known. Aviation enthusiasts speak of the American flight as "outrivaling In importance the navigation of the globe by Magellan." Anyway, it was conceived by Maj. J. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief of air service, who has secured the approval of the secretary of war. Preparations for the flight, at home and abroad, have been under way for months. Details made public by Maj. Henry H. Arnold, commander of Rockwell field, San Diego, and by General Patrick himself, made possible the following facts, many of which are of course subject to last-minute change: General Patrick's purposes appear to be in effect as follows: To gain for the army air service added experience in long-distance flying under various climatic conditions, particularly in the supply problems connected therewith; to complete an airplane flight around the world in the shortest practicable time; to demonstrate the feasibility of establishing an airway around the globe; to stimulate interest in commercial aviation; to demonstrate the importance of aircraft in national defense, and last—and not least—to win for the United States, the birthplace of aeronautics, the honor of being the first country to encircle the world entirely by air travel. Maj. Frederick L. Martin will be squadron commander. He is forty-two years of age and was born in Indiana, His companion officers are: Lieut. Erik H. Nelson, squadron engineer officer, who was born in Sweden and is by profession an aeronautical motor expert. He was engineer officer of the flight to Alaska in 1920 and of the San Antonio-Porto Rico-Washington flight last summer. Lieut. Lowell H. Smith, one of the country's flyers, well known for his refueling-ha-air performances. He is a California native son. Lieut. Leigh Wade, an army air pilot, who entered the aviation serv- Origin of Honeymoon The origin of the word honeymoon is disputed. The old theory was that it refers to the practice of the ancient Teutons who drank "hydromek," a drink made of honey, for a month, or "moon," after marriage. There is an old story that Atilla the Hun indulged so freely in hydromel at his wedding feast that he died. Thus the month after marriage when people drank honey wine was called "honeymoon."

Lieut, Leslie P. Arnold and Lieut, Le Claire D. Schulze have been named as alternates. The names of the four enlisted men are not at hand. At this writing, according to the tentative route selected, the start will be from Washington, D. C., proceeding to Seattle; then flying northward along the coast of Canada and southern Alaska, across the Aleutian islands, down through the possessions of Japan; along the shore of China, French Indo-China, Siam and Burma; across India; up the Persian gulf; across Turkey and Europe to England; thence north through the Faroe islands/to Iceland; thence to Greenland and southward along the eastern shore of that country to Cape Farewell, Greenland, from which point a direct flight will be made to Hamilton Inlet, on the Labrador coast; thence southward along the Canadian shore, and up the St. Lawrence river to Quebec and Montreal, from which point the flight will proceed south, via New York, to Washington. The flight has been divided into six legs, each in charge of a control officer, as follows: Seattle to Attu island, Lleut, Clayton L. Bisnell; Attu to Nagasaki, Japan, Lleut, Clifford C. Nutt; Nagasaki to Caleutta, India, Lleut. M. S. Lawton; Caleutta to Constantinople, Lleut, H. A. Halvorsen; Constantinople to London, Maj. Carlisle Walsh; London to Canada and Washington, Lleut, Clarence Crumrine. The longest hop will be from Attu island to Paramishiru island, in the northern part of the Eurile islands group, a possession of Japan. Other long hops will be necessary over the Atlantic ocean between the Faroe islands and Iceland; between Iceland and Greenland, and between Greenland and northern Canada; the longest of these being about 700 miles. The flight will total a distance of between 27,000 and 30,000 miles. It would be only 20,000 miles, traversing the northern route and crossing from Alaska over to Siberia and continuing in a straight line ground the globe. Not being able to follow this route, due to the fact that the United States has not recognized the soviet goverm. But modern philologists frown on this derivation. They say originally the word had no reference to "month" at all, but referred only to the ever-changing character of the moon. At any rate, honeymoon now refers to the period immediately after marriage, especially that part spent away from home, when everything is supposed to be as sweet as honey.—Pathfinder. Garden in a Bank. There is a garden and a fountain within the Bank of England enclosure. ment of Russia, means that the route will be lengthened some 7,000 miles. The airplane selected is the Douglas World Cruiser, built by the Douglas factory at Santa Monica, Cal. This plane can travel at an average speed of 105.4 miles per hour. The undercarriage, or landing gear, is convertible; it can be fitted to fly either over land or water. The land type consists of the divided axle form of chassis, with two 36-inch by 8-inch straight-sided wheels and an articulated steerable tail skid. The water type undercarriage consists of twin pontoons to replace the land type, capable of withstanding rough water landings. The four cruisers will be equipped with pontoons at Seattle and will make water landings in sheltered harbors along the coast of British Columbia, Alaska and through the Aleutian islands down into Japan. The present plan contemplates the removal of the pontoons and the use of landing gears from Tokyo to London. This plane has six aluminum gas tanks, with a total capacity of 600 gallons. Two terne-plate oil tanks are mounted, one on each side of the engine, one with a capacity of 20 gallons and the other of 30 gallons. The radiator is of the nose type. A tengallon copper reserve water tank is installed in the pilot's cockpit, provided with an air pump, so that the pilot may pump water from the tank to the radiator if necessary. There is an electric starter, and the plane is equipped with dual control throughout. A radio direction finder forms part of the equipment. The plane is designed to carry a load slightly in excess of 4,500 pounds, and its total weight will be approximately 8,800 pounds. Carrying its full gasoline capacity, the Douglas World Cruiser is capable of making a nonstop flight of about 2,200 miles, equal to a duration flight of 27½ hours. The motive power of the cruiser is the famous old reliable Liberty "12," the efficiency of this American-made wartime product having been proved on numerous occasions, notably on such extraordinary feats as the Alaskan and Porto Rican flights; the duration flight of over thirty-six hours, made by Lieuts. John A. Macready and Oakley G. Kelly, air service; their non-stop flight across the continent from New York to San Diego, Cal.; the one-stop flight across the continent from Jacksonville, Fl., to San Diego, Cal., made by Lieut. James H. Doolittle, air service; the novel duration flight made by Lieuts. Lowell H. Smith and John P. Richter, air service, who eclipsed the duration record of Lieutenants Kelly and Macready by having their plane refueled in flight through a hose connected to another airplane flying directly above theirs, and recently the non-stop refueling flight of Lieutenants Smith and Richter out on the Pacific coast, when they flew from the Canadian to the Mexican border, Should the army air service succeed in its undertaking, it will mean that the United States will have achieved the distinction of setting up a record for the longest distance ever covered by an airplane on one mission. Up to now the greatest distance ever covered by an airplane on one particular mission was the flight from London to Melbourne, Australia, made from November 12, 1919, to February 25, 1920, by the British pilots, the late Sir Ross Smith and his brother, Sir Kelth Smith, when their Vickers-Vimy machine traversed a total distance of 15,000 miles. The next longest flight, a distance of 9,823 miles, was made in a Martin bombing plane, piloted by Lieut. Col. R. S. Hartz and Lieut. E. E. Harmon of the army air service, who between July and November, 1919, made a complete circuit of the United States, starting from Washington, proceeding to Spokane, San Diego, New Orleans, and returning to Washington. Forests Affect Climate The forest service says that cutting down trees has a decided effect on climate and soil fertility. It is an established fact that forests tend to prevent extremes of temperature, either hot or cold, and thus moderate climate. They also prevent the washing away of soil, retard and often prevent floods and thus make cultivation of much land possible, land which without trees would be arid waste. WIRES SENT TO M'LEANAREREAD WIRES SENT TO M'LEANAREREAD COOLIDGE TELEGRAMS TO Mc LEAN AT PALM BEACH DISC- CLOSED BY SENATE PRESIDENT EXPLAINS ADVICE ON LQCAL GOVERNMENT SOUGHT IS ANSWER TO CRITICS Washington.—Two telegrams sent by President Coolidge to Edward B. McLean in Florida were read into the records of the oil committee. Immediately afterward the President issued a statement saying that the matters referred to in one message related to questions of local government in the District of Columbia, and that the other was merely an acknowledgement of a complimentary message from McLean. The first telegram from President Coolidge to McLean, sent on Jan. 12, said: "Prescott is away. Advise Slemp with whom I shall confer. (Signed) Calvin Coolidge." Slemp was then in Palm Beach. Members of the committee said they did not know who Prescott was. As to this message, President Coolidge issued this statement. "The telegram related to the district commissionership. Samuel J. Prescott is the Republican city chairman and the President desired to confer with him regarding district matters." President Coolidge telegraphed McLean at Palm Beach again on Feb. 12, according to the committee's telegrams. "Thank you for your message," the second Coolidge telegram read, "you have always been most considerate. Mrs. Coolidge joins me in sending kindest regards to Mrs. McLean." The first Coolidge telegram was sent after McLean had testified that the $100,000 loan he previously had paid was made to Fall on a note, was in reality in the form of checks which were returned to him uncashed. The second was dated two days before McLean was summoned here by the committee to explain. President Coolidge later made this statement relative to the second telegram to McLean: "The telegram sent to Mr. McLean on Feb. 12 was in regard to a message from Mr. McLean congratulating the President on his Lincoln birthday address in New York. The telegrams exchanged were similar to others received and sent out in that connection. It amounted simply to an exchange of amenities." C. Bascom Slemp, secretary to President Coolidge, later issued a statement correcting the previous White House announcement with respect to the McLean telegram of Feb. 12. The statement said: "The telegram sent to Mr. McLean under date of Feb. 12 was in answer to a telegram received from McLean congratulating the President on his statement with respect to the Senate resolution calling for the resignation of Edwin Denby, as secretary of the navy. Owing to the date of the telegram it was at first thought it related to the President's Lincoln day address at New York. An examination of the White House files after issuance by the President of his statement disclosed, however, that the McLean message related to the Denby matter. A number of congratulatory messages were received in connection with both the statements on the Robinson resolution and the New York speech. Impelled by the disclosures that he had sent two telegrams to Edward B. McLean while the oil inquiry was at its height, a half dozen Democratic senators turned upon the President the same implements of attack they have employed so often recently against members of his cabinet. He was defended with an equal favor by Henry Cabot Lodge, the venerable Republican Senate leader from his own state. Gift Made to Florida Press Tampa.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) A new Farmers' Bulletin, 1374, entitled "Care of Food in the Home," has been issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. It points out, in connection with the proper storage of good, that success depends not only on a good storeroom or pantry and an icebox or other means of keeping foods cool, but also on the use of suitable containers. The choice of proper containers for foods prevents much deterioration and waste. As a general thing each food is best kept in its own closed container. Dry foods may be stored in glass, earthenware, metal, wooden, or specially treated cardboard or paper containers, depending on how carefully they must be protected from air, light and vermiln. For moist and watery foods the choice of containers is more limited, for not only must leakage be prevented, but the effect of acids or some metals must be considered. A container that has no LESSENING DRUDGERY IN HOME LAUNDRY LESSENING DRUDGERY IN HOME LAUNDRY Suggestions Make Washing and Ironing Easier. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The United States Department of Agriculture makes the following suggestions for lessening the drudgery of washing and ironing: Stand erect. Have tubs and ironing board at comfortable heights. Use portable tubs. Fill through a piece of hose attached to the faucet or pump. Empty through a hole cut in bottom or in side near bottom. Use a washing machine, if possible. It saves rubbing. A good hand machine may be obtained at small cost. Use a smooth, well-made washboard. A jagged washboard tears the clothes. Use a wringer. It presses out the water without straining the fibers. A woman ironing a dress. Ironing Board at Right Height. Have clean, well-kept irons. A smooth clean iron makes for good results. Wash clothes frequently and before they become too soiled. It saves your strength and the clothes. Save ironing by choosing simple clothing and linen. Many articles, including crepe, seersucker, and knitted garments, may be pulled into shape instead of being ironed. Remember that strong soap hardens and shrinks woolens, yellows white silks, and removes color in colored materials. Rubbing wears all fabrics, hardens woolens, gives silks a rough and wavy look, and injures color. Sunlight bleaches and whitens white cotton and linen material, hardens and shrinks woolens, yellows white silks and woolens, and fades colors. Sudden changes in temperature harden and shrink woolens, and anything hotter than lukewarm injures silk and may change or remove color from any fabric. Homemade Flavoring Is Delicious in Custards A homemade flavoring which is not new but which is cheap and always delicious is caramel. Its more frequent use is recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture. It may be used successfully in custards, ice creams, and many other desserts. To make caramel flavoring, place one cupful of sugar in an iron saucepan. Heat it until well browned, stirring constantly even after the dish has been taken from the fire and until the danger of burning in the hot dish is past. Before the mixture hardens add one-fourth cupful of hot water and cook the mixture until it is about the consistency of thick sirup. Bottle and save for use when needed. The KITCHEN CABINET A nice dish and one which will not have any reference to food previously served is: Stuffed Peppers.—Cut off the tops and remove the white membrane and seeds from as many peppers as there are people to serve. Parboll them until soft in boiling water to cover, then fill with the following: Drop a half-teaspoonful of beef extract into each pepper mixed with buttered crumbs, chopped meat of any kind seasoned with onion, pepper and salt. Put to bake in gempans so they will keep their shape. Bake until well-heated through and serve hot. Meat and Potato Pie.—Moisten two cupfuls of cold minced meat or beef with canned soup, and season well before putting into a greased baking dish. Have ready a large cupful of mashed potato, seasoned with melted butter and warm milk. Cover the meat with this seasoned potato; smooth the surface and bake until it is well-heated through, then brush with the beaten white of an egg and return to the oven to brown. Molded Rice.—When putting away the leftover rice of today, press it while warm into a buttered mold. When ready to prepare the meal, turn it out carefully on a pie plate and set into the oven. When it is heated through, butter well and return to the oven to brown; butter again and sprinkle with grated cheese and return to the oven until the cheese begins to melt. Serve hot. Cheese Custard.—Place slices of buttered bread in a baking dish in layers, using enough bread to supply the family, sprinkling each buttered slice generously with finely-minced or grated cheese—the rich kind, which will not become stringy when heated. Pour over a pint of milk to which two beaten eggs have been added, salt and cayenne to taste for seasoning. Bake in a moderate oven until the custard is set. Serve hot from the dish in which it was baked. This is a good way to use leftover slices of bread. A nice dish to serve a small company is the following: Chicken au Supreme With Mushrooms. — Cut the meat into small pieces from a cold cooked chicken, saving the bones for soup. There should be two cupfuls of the chicken and one-half cupful of mushrooms. Prepare a sauce of two tablespoonfuls each of melted butter and flour well-mixed, add the liquor from the can of mushrooms and one cupful of milk. Cook until smooth then add the chicken, cook three minutes, then add the mushrooms. Cook two minutes longer very slowly. Beat in two well-beaten eggs, stirring all the while and as soon as the eggs are cooked remove from the fire. Serve in hot patty shells. Brown Fricassee of Chicken.—Joint the chicken neatly and lay in cold water for an hour. Fry one-nalf pound of fat salt pork to a light brown. Strain it and return the fat to the fire, add butter enough to make the amount of fat needed to fry the fowl. Fry all the larger pieces in this fat with a sliced onion. Chop the fried pork fine and put into the double boiler, adding the onion and chicken. Pour in water enough to cover well, put on the lid and set in the lower vessel partly filled with cold water. Set back on the range where it will not boil for an hour, hold this at a simmering temperature for four hours without opening the top, keeping the lower boiler well replenished with water. The longer the chicken stews the more tender it will be. Serve on a hot dish, cover with a thickened gravy made of browned flour and serve after letting stand in an open oven for ten minutes. Scalloped Salmon.—Make an ordinary white sauce, using two tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour and one cupful of milk. Flake canned salmon and add to it finely shredded green peppers and let cook gently. Cut up ripe olives rather coarsely and add to the salmon. Just before serving add a few walnut meats, cover with buttered crumbs and set into the oven until the crumbs are brown. Apple Crisp.—Butter a fireproof dish and fill with sliced apples, using eight; add one teaspoonful of cinnamon and one-half cupful of water. Work together one cupful of sugar and three-fourths of a cupful of flour and seven tablespoonfuls of fat until crumbly. Spread over the apple mixture and bake uncovered. Serve with whipped cream or maple syrup. Nellie Maxwell cracks or seams in which dirt or micro-organisms may lodge and that can be thoroughly washed and aired before fresh supplies are stored in it is in many cases preferable. Labeling food containers plainly saves time when preparing meals and helps to prevent the wasteful and sometimes harmful accidents that happen when one material is mistaken for another. The food containers used in the refrigerator should be convenient in size, washable, as light in weight as possible so that undue quantities of ice will not be melted in cooling them to the temperature of the refrigerator, and fitted with covers to prevent the food from drying out and the escape or absorption of odors. In fact, all foods and food materials that are to be used without washing, such as butter, cheese, or sugar, should be wrapped or kept in covered receptacles, whether stored in the refrigerator or in the pantry, cellar, or any other place. ASPIC SALADS HELP USE UP LEFTOVERS Plan Outlined to Utilize Surplus Meat and Vegetables. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) A good way to use meat and vegetable leftovers is to incorporate them in firn unsweetened jellies made from meat stock or well-seasoned and flavored vegetable water stiffened with jelly which need not be accompanied by salad dressing unless one wishes. When there is not enough chicken left over to make regular chicken and celery salad, a chicken aspic is still possible if there is broth available, and perhaps a few tablespoonfuls of cooked peas, carrots, celery or beets. This aspic jelly would not be an equivalent in food value for the ordinary chicken salad, but it would have its place in a meal at which other foods were served. Beef or veal stock is good in making jellied meat for salad. Tomato-jelly salad is well known. Beets are good in a spiced jelly made with water flavored with vinegar or lemon. To make one of these savory jellies a little less than a quart of liquid—stock or water—is used with one envelope or ounce of gelatin; the seasoning with salt, pepper, bayleaf, or vinegar, is a matter of family taste. When the jelly needs to be firm to inclose a good deal of solid material it is well to reduce the amount of liquid. All such jellies must be made some time in advance of the meal at which they are to be served, and set in a cool place to stiffen. The fact that they can be prepared beforehand is sometimes a convenience. Salads made of these savory jellies, thoroughly chilled, are especially acceptable for lunch or supper in hot weather when "hearty" dishes do not tempt the appetite. Baked Pears Are Equally as Dedicous as Apples Baked pears are not so familiar as baked apples to many people, but are equally good, says the United States Department of Agriculture. The pears may be paired if desired, but many people prefer the flavor when the skins are not removed. Halve or quarter the pears and remove the core. Cook in a small amount of water for ten minutes; add sirup or sugar and bake until tender. A few whole spices or a small piece of ginger root give additional flavor if desired. Household Questions No wonder the broom looks dejected. Hang it up and let it rest its feet. Badly stained knives may be made to look as good as new by rubbing on charcoal. * * * A little charcoal mixed with clear water and thrown down a sink will purify it. * * * When preparing clothes for ironing have them evenly dampened and smoothly and tightly rolled. * * * Old nail holes may be filled with a mixture made of fine sawdust and glue. Fill the hole with it and leave till dry. * * * Save the chiffon velvet hat trimmings. There is nothing better for brushing the silk skirt free from dust. Keep a piece on the hat rack. It is excellent for brushing felt hats. (©. 1924. Western Newspaper Union.) Stuffed Peppers.—Cut off the tops and remove the white membrane and seeds from as many peppers as there are people to serve. Parboll them until soft in boiling water to cover, then fill with the following: Drop a half-teaspoonful of beef extract into each pepper There is no mystery about happiness whatever. Put in the right ingredients and it must come out. We may encourage others by our cheer, but we have no right to dishearten them by doubt and gloom. SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS Chicken au Supreme With Mushrooms. — Cut the meat into small pieces from a cold cooked chicken, saving the bones for soup. There should be two cupfuls of the chicken and one-half cupful of mushrooms. Prepare a sauce of two The KITCHEN CABINET (© 1924, Western Newspaper Union.) The woman who undertakes the administration of a home without understanding it, is on par with a man who establishes a home without being able to support it. It cannot be said too often that foods that should be served hot, should be hot, served on warmed plates. On the other hand, food such as salad, be it prepared of fish, flesh, fruit or fowl if lukewarm, is a "gastronom- be not, served on warmed plates. On the other hand, food such as salad, be it prepared of fish, flesh, fruit or fowl if lukewarm, is a "gastronom- ie solecism, intolerable and not to be endured." Charlotte Russe.—Take a stale sponge cake, one-half pint of whipping cream, half-cupful of powdered sugar and the whites of two eggs whipped to a stiff froth. Line a cake mold with slices of cake, fitting one piece into the bottom of the mold. Whip the cream stiff and beat into this the merengue and sugar flavoring with vanilla. Fill the cake-lined mold with this, cover with more slices of cake and set on ice for an hour or two. Loosen the contents of the mold with a broad knife and turn out upon a chilled glass dish. Panned Oysters.—Toast bread and butter well, wet with the oyster liquor and lay in a baking dish. Arrange as many oysters as the bread will hold, dot with bits of butter, cover and bake eight minutes in a very hot oven, until the edges of the oysters are ruffled. Serve at once. Jellied Chicken.—Boll a good-sized fowl until tender and leave it in the water all night. Remove the fowl and season the stock, skim and strain and put over again with the bones from which the meat has been stripped. Crack the bones so that all the flavor will be extracted: Soak one-fourth of a cupful of gelatin and stir into the hot stock. When it is dissolved take from the fire and cool. When it begins to jelly pour into a buttered mold. Arrange in this hard cooked egg minced, two chopped olives and the chicken meat cut into neat cubes. When filled the mold should be set in a cold place for several hours. Turn out when ready to serve. Nice for a picnic luncheon. This jellied chicken may be molded in small molds and served on lettuce with mayonnaise, making a very fine salad. "All riches are desirable, and we are justified in seeking them all; but the riches of mind and soul give the greatest happiness and add the most to value of life.

Pour over the mixture two cupfuls of hot milk and simmer ten minutes until all is dissolved. Meanwhile soak an inch-slice of bread in cold water until soft and press out all the water and crumble into bits. Pour the milk, sugar and butter mixture over the bread and beat in the yolks of two eggs, a little salt and a small teaspoonful of vanilla. Pour into a buttered baking dish and bake in a pan of water twenty-five minutes. Beat the whites of the eggs stiff, add two table-spoonfuls of powdered sugar, the juice of half a lemon and beat again. Spread over the pudding and brown in a moderate oven. Lemon Cheese Cakes.—For the filling for five individual pies, take one egg, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt, the grated rind and a tablespoonful of lemon juice, one-fourth of a cupful of cake crumbs. Beat the yolk of an egg, add the sugar, salt, lemon juice and rind with the crumbs, mix well, fold in the beaten white of the egg which has been beaten stiff and turn into pastry-lined patty tins. Bake until the filling is set. Tapioca and Date Sponge.—Cook a one-third of a cupful of tapioca in a pint of boiling water slightly salted. When the tapioca is transparent, stir in one-half pound of dates which have been washed and pits removed, add one-fourth of a cupful of sugar and the juice of a large lemon. Beat the whites of two eggs very light and fold in the tapioca mixture. Cover and let stand on the back of the range until ready to serve. Serve with sugar and cream. Fried Apples and Onions.—Heat the frying pan, add one-third of a cupful of meat drippings, and when hot add a pint of sliced onions; cook gently, adding salt to season and a tablespoonful of sugar; after ten minutes of cooking add two times as much apple as onion, cover and cook until the apples are tender. Serve hot with pork chops.

Either silk or tinsel ribbons are used for these while the flowers are made of changeable ribbons in silk, or silk and tinsel, and having a narrow edge, in a contrasting color, or in silk or a metal thread.
