THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY THELMA BERLACK WINS N. Y. WORLD PRIZE FOR NEWS ITEM SELECTION Colored Girl Is Awarded Cash Prizes of $70 for Selection Most Important News Item of the Month THELMA BERLACK N. Y. WORLD NEW Colored Girl Is Awarded Ca —Most Important Ne For several months the New York World has been conducting a news story contest among the high school students of Greater New York. The contestants select the most Important piece of news of the week and write a short article giving the reason for their choice. First, second and third prizes in cash are awarded for the best selections. In the contest ending Saturday, March 1, Thelma E. Berlack, 17 years of age, of 202 West 143rd street, who is a senior at the Roosevelt High School, won both the first prize for the week of $20 and the monthly bonus prize of $50. Her prize winning article was on the proposed Child Labor amendment to the Constitution and the judges made the comment: "It shows the greatest breadth and depth of thought." When informed Sunday morning by a World reporter that she had won the coveted prizes, Miss Berlack could hardly refrain from crying with joy. She said the money came just in time as she was about to quit school because of a lack of funds. Now she will be able to complete her course in May and expects to take a course in accounting at New York University. She was born in Florida but came to New York about five years ago. During the past three years she has been an honor student at Roosevelt High School and has made one of the most perfect records of any student in the public schools of the City of New York. Amid waves of applause from her fellow students in the auditorium of the Roosevelt High School on Monday, Miss Berlack was presented with a check for the amount won by Paul E. Sifton of the World. He told her that her article had been chosen from a field of 1,800 entries. The prize winning article was as follows: The Proposed Child Labor Amendment "That the boys and girls of the United States shall have equal opportunities, in all parts of the country," begins what seems to me to be the biggest news item of the week. This proposed amendment, if passed, will help to conserve the rising generation of America. Such a conservation of humanity means: 1. Higher standards of living for the average family, physically, mentally and financially. 2. Economic, industrial and social advancement for the country at large. 3. America as a protector of its young minds in the making. 4. The practical application of the theories of science, education and logic, in that we love and protect our future citizens. The New York problem of child labor is sometimes overlooked because of the equitable educational system here. Horrors, however, face us as we think of the hundreds of children working in tenement houses, straining their eyes, stunting their growth, and probably spreading disease through the garments they work on. The textile mills of the South, the sugar beet fields of the West, the truck farms of the East, and the coal mines of Pennsylvania—these, all of these, are the base of our child labor problems; therefore we are all guilty. If state regulation has not solved and cannot solve this bugbear situation, a national regulation is needed and should be demanded. The proposed solution of this vital American Problem is truly the biggest news item of the week—New York Age. Mechanics' Bank Depositors Present Petition Ask Dismissal of Receiver John Mitchell, Jr., Renews Litigation to Clear Name A petition signed by depositors of the Mechanics' Savings Bank will be presented to Judge Moncure in chancery court today by John Mitchell, Jr., colored, and a committee of depositors, asking that the receivership over the bank be vacated. It is maintained that there are sufficient funds on hand to pay 20 per cent cash payment to the depositors, which is one of the requirements of vacating the receivership and that enough waivers of 50 per cent of deposits by depositors accompany the petition to wipe out the remaining shortage of $194,000. It is said that there is more than $62,000 to the credit of the colored financial institution and that this amount is more than sufficient to pay the outstanding claim held by a local bank to the amount of $26,-607.42. Funds brought in by the sale of the Strand theater and the transfer of property of John Mitchell to the control of the bank are sufficient to justify the depositors in asking the vacating of the receivership and the reopening of the bank under the supervision of a committee of white bankers until such time as it functions properly, it is said. Republican County Convention Names Committeewomen Republican County Convention Names Committeewomen Hopkinsville, Ky., March 11, 1924.—The Christian County Republican convention, which recently met in this city, named the following colored women as committeewomen from their respective precincts: Mesdames Phil H.

State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House LIABLE PE RAD THE JOURN DENVE ABLE PEOPLE'S PA ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA Unusual Honors to Colored Hero Four Wreaths Hung by City, State and Civilians in Boston for Crispus Attucks—Mayor a'Speaker Boston, Mass., March 8, 1924.—After issuing a "Call to the Race" to observe March 5th as Citizenship Foundation Day, for Crispus Attucks as the first martyr for American independence and liberty, the National Headquarters of the National Equal Rights League certainly practiced its own preaching on Wednesday in Boston. For on that day the great Merchants' National Bank on State street opposite the wheel in the Cobblestones marking the spot where Attucks fell hung out its big U. S. flag. On the electric pole there the Boston Branch hung a laurel wreath, Jas. G. Wolff making a statement to the crowd held back by two mounted police. Wm. H. O'Brien, champion of the Irish cause, at the League's suggestion placed a large galox wreath on Attucks' grave near the Common. At 10 a. m. Boston's Public Celebrations Director flanked the Attucks monument with the state and national colors. Noontime found two wreaths on the statue, one by the state and one by the city, the former one placed by Major Sampson of the governor's staff and the latter by Mayor Curley himself. The flags were flown from all city buildings. Then at 12:30 national headquarters held out-door exercises in front of the statue, the keynote of which as sounded by Secretary Wm. Monroe Trotter was that the race which shed its blood first for the founding of the Republic and liberty certainly has original ground title to every public right and privilege. The speakers were Mayor James M. Curley, Maj. E. J. Sampson of the staff of Governor Cox, Stewart E. Hoyt, the colored deputy collector and prominent Elk and Mason, Rev. O. S. Klugh, Chas. L. Raysor, Esq., Mrs. Mary James and Rev. J. W. Powell of the Sons of Veterans. The crowd stood in the rain through nearly two hours of eulogy of Attucks and his Irish comrades. Mass Meeting at Night The Boston Branch loyally backed up the national body by a great Attucks mass meeting in the old Twelfth Baptist Church at night. Demands for the Dyer Bill, for Soldier Pardons, for abolition of federal segregation, in view of Attucks' heroism were voiced by white and colored orators, including E. T. Morris, presiding, Rev. D. S. Klugh, John A. Hagan, E. Mark Sullivan, corporation counsel, Rep. W. H. O'Brien, Dr. Alice W. McKane, A. G. Wolff, Esq., L. T. Dolich, Esk. and J. W. Schenck, Esq., colored assistant U. S. district attorney. Carl Logan sang at the statue and Mrs. Ethel G. Russell at the church.

Washington, March 11, 1924.—Cortez Peters, a graduate of the Department of Business Practice of Dunbar High School, 1923, has been awarded a brand-new No. 12 Remington typewriter for accuracy and speed in an officially-conducted test. Young Peters wrote 67 words a minute from unfamiliar copy for 15 minutes without error, causing the Remington Educational Director to say: "The paper of Cortez Peters is one of the best ever received by the company in ten years." The young "phenom" has just been appointed as typist-clerk to one of the important committees in Congress. Town Turns Out to Honor Negro Citizen St. Thomas, Canada, March 5.—The entire town of Mt. Salem turned out last Friday evening to celebrate the 100th birthday of Mr. Lloyd Graves, a venerable citizen and landmark of that district. The public reception was held in the town hall at which time an interesting program was rendered, after which practically the entire population sat down to an old-fashioned inside picnic. His 100th birthday found Mr. Graves in entire possession of all his intellectual faculties and he was reminiscent. Slavery in Illinois and Indiana (Lincoln News Service.) (Lincoln News Service.) Aurora, March 11, 1924.—Illinois, by the census of 1820, had slaves in every county but two. There were still 746 slaves in Illinois by the census of 1830, and slavery was to be found in the state in a few counties as late as 1847, or sixty years after the adoption of the Ordinance of 1787, which declared: "There shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in the Northwest Territory, otherwise than in the punishment of crimes." Indiana sought repeatedly to have the anti-slavery clause of the Ordinance of 1787 abrogated, and Governor William Henry Harrison (afterward President) was the leader of this movement to introduce slavery into Indiana. Great Artist To Paint Panel H. O. Tanner, one of the world's greatest artists, a son of Philadelphia, has agreed to paint the panel for the top of the Bronze Tablet to be erected at Mother Bethel A. M. E. Church. The unveiling of the tablet will mark the 136th anniversary of Mother Bethel Church, founded by Richard Allen. This same period will be the 150th year of American Independence. It is well to note how closely this church followed the birth of a great nation. The tablet will have engraved on it the names of all great colored Americans, both the dead and the living. It is to be the roll call of a century and a half. H. O. Tanner will greet the public of Philadelphia, March 14, at Mother Bethel prior to his sailing for Europe. TEXAS SHRINERS LOSE CASE TO WHITES Race Order Permanently Enjoined in U. S. Court from Using Pin and Regalia Houston, Tex., March 6.—(Informer News Service)—In the legal tilt between the colored and white Shriners—which had its origin in 1922, when the whites secured a temporary injunction restraining the colored members of Doric Temple, Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, from wearing the fez, pin, emblems and regalia of the white Shrine organization—the white Shriners drew first blood, when Judge J. D. Harvey, in the Eightieth District Court, made the temporary injunction permanent last Friday morning. order antedated the white Shrine and originated in Egypt as far back at 656 A. D. SHORT CUTS (Lincoln News Service.) (Lincoln News Service.) Denver as a colored civic organization. We have 608 photographers, 101 of whom are females. Attorney John A. Sparks of Philadel Will Appeal Case Counsel for the colored Shriners immediately served notice of an appeal. Wilford H. Smith, eminent local race attorney, has charge of the appeal papers. The case was originally instituted by the Arabia Temple Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, of which Homer E. McCoy was illustrious potentate, and then when the national body of colored Shriners intervened on behalf of the local temple, the national white body also intervened on behalf of their local temple. This gives the decision of the local judge far-reaching effect and nation-wide scope. Effective in Any State It is stated that under the "full faith and credit" act of the United States constitution, the judgment of the Eighteenth District Court can be made effective in any other state in the Union. The process would be for the national white Shrine organization, the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, to apply to a district judge in any particular state, who would issue in the nature of an injunction an order giving "full faith and credit" in that particular state to the decree and decision of Judge Harvey. Submitted Without Argument The case decided upon by Judge Harvey was submitted on the record and without argument of the attorneys, John H. Crooker and Claud Pollard for the white Shriners, and S. A. T. Watkins and James E. White (colored) of Chicago, and J. H. Carmichael (white) of Little Rock, for the colored Shriners. The record was one of the most voluminous and most interesting ever heard in a Harris county District Court owing to the amount of Masonic history included in the many depositions used on both sides. York Riters Cited Considerable space in the depositions of each was devoted to the origin and authority of the white and the colored Grand Blue Lodges, York Rite bodies and Scottish Rite bodies. It is presumed that this was done in order to attack the defense side in more than one place. Judge Harvey Saturday said he did not consider in his decision the claims of any of the Masonic bodies prerequisite to the Shrine, but gave his decision on the theory that the colored "Shrine" is a "colorable imitation" of the white Shrine as organized in New York City in the seventies. The colored Shriners introduced testimony to show that their NO. 22. order antedated the white Shrine and originated in Egypt as far back at 656 A. D. SHORT CUTS (Lincoln News Service.)

"I Am a Republican" (Lincoln News Service.) Washington, March 11, 1924.—When President Coolidge, during his New York Lincoln Day address, proudly exclaimed: "I am a Republican," he attracted the entire attention of thinking men and women throughout the country to matters of government. With him, and to them, such a statement on such an occasion had a deeper significance than a mere declaration of party affiliation. It took the form of a solemn affirmation that he stands for the highest practical national ideals, for honorable dealings, private and public, for law and order, for the protection of life and property, for the continuation of the constructive policies that have made this nation great, and for everything else that is calculated to promote, not to retard nor destroy, the general welfare of the people without regard to creed, color or race. The proudest boast of an American citizen should be, "I am a Republican," because it identifies him with the creative forces of all that is distinctively constructive, and connects him with a glorious party under whose banner our greatest national achievements have been effected.

Allen, administratrix of the estate of CHAIRMAN JOHNSON of the immigration committee has filed a report on the proposed immigration measure signed by 14 committee members. Dissenting views will be presented by three other members. Pointing out that the present 3 per cent law, based on the 1910 census, expires June 30 next, the report declared there was "immediate and urgent need for enactment of immigration legislation." "The committee is advised," the report continued, "that the number of allens desiring to enter the United States is very large. It is reasonable to assume that, despite unfavorable exchange rates, high steamship tariffs, and other untoward factors, an immigration of between 1,500,000 and 2,000,000 would have entered the United States during each of the last two years if the 3 per cent law had not barred the way. "If the 3 per cent law is permitted to expire, and no other legislation is enacted, the movement to our shores of the largest migration of peoples in the history of the world may be expected to begin July 1, 1924. The exclusion clauses of the act of February 5, 1917, will be powerless to stay the tide. "Such a situation should not be permitted to arise. The country demands THE annual naval bill carrying $271,942,867, of which $30,000,000 would be available for completing more than a score of vessels now under construction, has been reported by the house appropriations committee. The total is $4,403,000 less than budget estimates and $23,024,000 less than the amount allotted the navy by congress a year ago. The bill provides $117,000,000 for pay, enough to keep the navy at its present strength of 6,468 officers and 86,000 enlisted men. Provision also is made for 1,002 officers and 19,500 enlisted men in the marine corps—the present strength. For aviation the bill carries $14,590,-000, or $57,174 less than last year's appropriation. The committee explained that it had slashed $410,000 from the budget estimated for aviation on account of a development program recommended at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and Coco Solo, Canal Zone, which have not been authorized by law. Commenting on the proposed polar exploration trip of the dirigible Shenandoah next summer, the report said actual expenses over normal operating BILL designed to strengthen the national banking system is proposed by Representative McFadden of Pennsylvania, chairman of the committee on banking and currency. The purpose of the measure is to lift the handicaps under which national banks are now compelled to operate. The McFadden bill proposes to amend both the national bank act and the federal reserve act in several important particulars. One of the most important features of the bill would permit national banks to engage in branch banking within city limits in those states where the similar right is given state institutions. In this same connection, it also is provided that there shall be no further extension of state-wide branch banking by any member of the federal reserve system. National banks in agricultural districts would be aided by a provision permitting all national institutions to lend up to 50 per cent of their time deposits on real estate. The bill also would permit national banks to operate bond departments for the purchase and sale of investment Dorothy D. Allen, deceased. $1,267. Dorothy D. Allen, deceased, $1,267. Cora A.

The public demand is not only for restriction but for more ripid and more effective restriction than that imposed at present." Provisions of the Johnson bill were summed up in the report as follows: Preserves the basic immigration law of 1917; retains the principle of numerical limitation as inaugurated in the act of May 19, 1921; changes the quota base from the census of 1910 to the census of 1890; reduces the percentage from 3 to 2, plus a small base quota for each country; counts certificates, not persons; provides for preliminary examination overseas; exempts wife, children under eighteen, and parent over fifty-five, of American citizen; reduces classes of exempted aliens; places burden of proof on alien rather than on the United States; meets the situation with reference to admission of persons ineligible to citizenship; carries numerous sections to lessen hardships of immigrants; tightens the bars against immigration of Japanese and other Orientals. "The prosperity of the United States," the report says, "does not depend on additional unskilled alien laborers coming to this country. Industry and activity have survived the slackened immigration caused by the European war and the quota law." costs would approximate $183,000 and that since most of this amount would be met with current appropriations, the committee had not seen fit to interfere in any way with plans for the expedition. As to new ship construction, the committee said, it was without power to authorize expenditures for vessels not yet sanctioned by congress, but cited information that the Navy department is committed to a program for building types permissible under the arms conference treaty which, with the modernizing program already under way, would involve expenditure of approximately $35,000,000 for the next ten years. The committee declined to accept a budget recommendation that $2,850,000 be appropriated to commence the construction of three fleet submarines authorized in 1916, declaring the value of this type of craft had not yet been proved. With a view of cutting down the officer strength of the navy, the committee recommended the appointments to the Annapolis Naval academy be reduced on a 5-to-3 basis, bringing the graduating class down to 254 In 1928. securities. This provision is designed primarily to afford relief to the smaller national banks. Another provision permits national banks to hold their charters in perpetuity, thus enabling institutions exercising trust powers to administer perpetual trusts without encountering legal complications. The McFadden measure contains other features designed to harmonize and clarify laws governing the operation of national banks. The circulation of false reports relative to the condition of a national bank or a member of the federal reserve system is made a crime under the provisions of the bill. "The enactment of this bill by congress would have a far-reaching effect by enabling national banks to meet the demands for service under modern economic and social conditions," Mr. McFadden said. "The enactment of this bill would have the further effect of greatly strengthening the federal reserve system by increasing the confidence and efficiency of its predominating membership, the national banks." MANY INQUIRIES DUE TO POLITICS STARTED OR PROPOSED IN THE SENATE BECAUSE THIS IS A PRESIDENTIAL YEAR. B. EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—A pleasantly ironical Washington writer, in commenting on the investigating fever of the senate, suggests that an inquiry should be started to fix the responsibility of the Punic wars, and suggests also "that there are a good many uncovered circumstances concerning the mystery of who hit Billy Patterson." There are so many committees of investigation at work in the senate that during some of the sessions of the greater body the only quorum present is that of the pages. Of course some of the greater investigations are absolutely necessary, but some of the minor ones probably have been started for political effect, for neither of the great parties has been at all backward in attempts to force a digging into affairs which perhaps might injure the other party's presidential prospects. If there were no presidential campaign on this year there probably would be less investigating activity in congress. Not all of the demands for investigation have been granted, but a favorite method of senators and representatives is to put in a resolution for an investigation because they think the mere calling of attention to something or other may arouse suspicion and perhaps produce votes for the party to which the resolution-introducer belongs. Some Aspirants Hurt. In a way the turmoil over off and some other things seems to have crowded out the interest in the campaigns for the presidential nominations. As a matter of fact the oil affair has injured the chances for the nomination of one or two gentlemen who formerly were well placed and running strong in the race. Just now, especially in the Democratic party, there seems to be a casting about for information concerning the present availability of some man whose availability in the past was not doubted. Opinion here seemingly is that Calvin Coolidge will secure the Republican nomination without doubt. A few weeks ago there was some doubt about it, but now the leaders of the Republican party seem convinced not only that he will be nominated but that he must be nominated. The friends of Senator Johnson have in no wise given up hope that he will secure the prize, but seemingly they are pinning their hopes more upon possible new developments in legislation and in the investigating field to strengthen their cause enough to bring about the defeat of the President and the nomination of the senator. Naturally enough Washington politicians, notably the Democrats, were intensely interested in the Chicago meeting of William G. McAdoo's friends to determine whether or not his connection as an attorney with the Doheny oil interests militated against his nomination ambitions sufficiently to make him unavailable as a candidate. It was rather expected that the Chicago meeting would declare that the former secretary of the treasury should remain In the field, and remain in the field he will. Underwood's Chance Improved. It will take some little time to determine whether his candidacy has been injured by the fact that he acted as an attorney for the Doheny interests although having nothing at all to do with the mutters of the leases which have roused so much controversy. It can be taken for granted now that the McAdoo campaign will go on with vigor. It seems to be unquestionably true that the prospects of Senator Osar W. Underwood of Alabama, who is an aspirant for the Democratic nomination, have been brightened by the seeming setback which came to the McAdoo cause. There are politicians here, however, who seem to think that another than either Mr. McAdoo or Mr. Underwood will get the prize. Who this is to be no one cares to predict definitely, but the name of Samuel M. Ralston of Indiana frequently is mentioned. The other day in the senate Senator Ralston made his maiden speech. Senatorial courtesy is not all that it is cracked up to be, for many of Mr. Ralston's political opponents did not remain in the chamber to hear his first effort. His party members, however, announced themselves as exceedingly pleased with the way the Indiana senator treated the subject in hand. John W. Davis of West Virginia, American ambassador to the court of St. James during the latter part of the Wilson administration, still is mentioned as a possible dark horse or a compromise candidate if either of the first favorites in the convention shall fail to get the two-thirds majority necessary. Cuba to Honor Mrs. Gorgas. The government of Cuba soon is to entertain as its guest an American woman, Mrs. Marie Doughty Gorgas, widow of Maj. Gen. William Crawford Gorgas, the great sanitarian. Accompanying Mrs. Gorgas to Cuba, also as a guest of the island government, will be Mrs. Katherine Davis Gaillard, widow of the distinguished American engineer who dug the Culebra cut of the Panama canal, a cut which now bears in his honor the name of Galliard cut. In the Cuban government there is a cabinet officer known as the chief of the sanitary department. Sanitation in Cuba is a prime requisite. It was Major General Gorgas, better known in the service as Doctor Gorgas, who, while a lieutenant colonel and stationed in Havana years ago, put that city into a condition which made it immune from that plague of its life, yellow fever. When he was formulating his great work in Cuba General Gorgas was accompanied by his wife. She ran all the risks of the plague which the men of the service ran, and her courage endered her to the Cubans. Of course, in greatest part, the high honor which has come to this American woman in the form of an invitation to be the guest of a government is in recognition of the services of her husband to the Cuban people, but the honor due to his widow also was a moving factor in the Cuban invitation to her to visit Havana as the honored guest of the Cuban people. Gorgas' Great Work for Havana. It was Dr. Walter Reed, acting with other physicians and with American Medical Corps volunteers, who proved that yellow fever was transmitted by the mosquito known as the stegomia faciata, but it was Doctor Gorgas, who formulated and put into operation all the methods and the plans for ridding Havana of yellow fever at a time immediately following the mosquito transmission discovery. This whole work was that of Doctor Gorgas. Just after Havana had been cleared of the plague through the skill and high understanding of Doctor Gorgas, he was ordered to Panama to make safe the Canal zone. He put into force the plans, regulations and methods which he had formulated and had used with such signal success in Havana, and added to them new methods as the work suggested them, that Panama might be made the safest place on earth so far as threats of disease were concerned. Mrs. Marie Doughty Gorgas, the great physician's widow, is writing a life of her husband in connection with Burton J. Hendrick, who edited and connected the letters of Walter Hines Page, our war-time ambassador to Great Britain. It is a remarkable thing that yellow fever played a part in the lives of William C. Gorgas and his wife from the time that they first met. The story is a romantic one from every possible viewpoint. Romance of Yellow Fever. The two met for the first time in a frontier post when Doctor Gorgas was a young lieutenant in the Medical corps. Yellow fever struck the garrison. Mrs. Gorgas, then Miss Doughty, contracted the disease, and Doctor Gorgas was her physician. All hope that she might survive was abandoned and her grave was dug, and in the absence of a clergyman, Doctor Gorgas was to read the service. She recovered and then the doctor was taken ill; he narrowly escaped death, but came through, and later they were married. It is not hard to understand why yellow fever and all the problems connected therewith became of intense interest to this American army surgeon. He was called upon after his Panama success to go to South Africa, and there instituted methods which reduced the pneumonia plague to a low percentage. Doctor Gorgas was surgeon general of the American army when this country entered into the World war, retiring age came to him before the war was over. At the conclusion of the conflict the British government asked him to go to Africa to solve a plague problem which was affecting one of its great tracts of territory. Doctor Gorgas went to London, intending from there to start on his mission, but he was taken ill and was removed to a military hospital where he died. Before his death the king went to the hospital and decorated the general with the Order of St. Michael and St. George. After General Gorgas death he was accorded the honor of a funeral in St. Paul's, all the available troops being turned out to do his memory honor, and later the British government offered a battleship to carry the body to the United States. Mrs. Gorgas, however, preferred that an American vessel should bring home to his native heath the body of her husband. The Last Straw Mr. Busman was exasperated with the telephone. Ten times that morning he had tried to get a number and each time something had prevented him from speaking. At last he got through. "Hello!" he said. "Is Mr. X, there?" "Yes," replied a voice. "Do you want to speak to him?" That was the last straw. Back went the reply in ice tones: "Oh, no! I merely rang him up to hand him a cigarette." New Type of Motor Body A new type of air suspension of motor car bodies is being used in England, wherein the body floats on a type of encased rubber tubing in such a manner that it acts much the same as a pneumatic tire, permitting the car the same resilience afforded by the pneumatic tire, while at the same time the wheels themselves are shod with less expensive hard rubber tires.

JOSEPH CARTER Express, Moving and Storage Coal and Wood 2415 WASHINGTON STREET PROMPT DELIVERY Phone Male 0544 The death of Lopez Gutierrez, de facto president of Honduras, was reported to the State Department at Washington, D. C., in a telegram from Tegucigalpa. The members of the caliph's household left behind on his departure from Constantinople for Switzerland are penniless and in acute distress, no provision having been made for the eunuchs and members of the harem. Vatican authorities state that there is no foundation to the report printed in a Rome newspaper that the vatican was about to acknowledge the Russian soviet government. It was added that such an understanding had not been asked for and would be unwelcome to the soviets. Former Premier Venizelos, whose health gave out after he had assumed the premiership early this year in an attempt to straighten out the tangle over Greece's future form of government and the fate of the dynasty, has left Athens. It is understood his destination is Paris. Colorum agitators have aroused the wild natives in northern Mindanao and trouble is feared in Agusan province, where a band of 200 is reported preparing to surround the constabulary detachment stationed there. Reinforcements are being rushed from the provincial capital. The mutinous activity in the Irish army continue to be the absorbing topic of interest in Dublin. President Cosgray in the dail announced the letter of General Tobin and Colonel Dalton, written on behalf of the executive council of the Irish Republican army, demanding a discussion with the government of the Anglo-Irish treaty provisions, was a challenge the government could not ignore, and that the government has taken the necessary steps to deal with the situation. Responsibility for the murders of Sukao Osugi, Socialist leader, and his wife, Noe Ito, who were killed by Captain Amakasu of the Tokio gendarmerie after the September earthquake, has not proved costly to the chief affenders concerned. Lieutenant General Koizuma, military commandant in Tokio after the disaster, and Colonel Koyama, commander of the Tokio gendarmerie in the same period, were suspended from active service as a result of the murders. Now orders have been issued reinstating them and the general is to be given command of an army division. GENERAL Mrs. Mary Struttyk, who shot and killed the Rev. Basil Steelsuk in the confessional at the church of St. Michael the Archangel in Chicago, was adjudged insane and committed to the Kankakee asylum for life. Three robbers rifled the safes of three oil companies in an outlying district of Phoenix, Ariz., and escaped with approximately $2,200 in currency and checks after a hectic gun battle with a night watchman. Gov. Warren T. McCray entered a plea of not guilty to a charge of violating the national banking laws when arraigned before Federal Judge Albert B. Anderson at Indianapolis. Amos D. Morris, cashier of the Kentland Discount and Deposit bank, of which Governor McCray was president until it closed, pleaded guilty to the same charge. Circumstances linked up with statements in what Loulsville, Ky., police held was substantiation of the strange story of William Gates, that he killed Richard Heaton, his former business associate, to save himself from mutilation in revenge for the fancied violation of Heaton's home. Surgical implements, rubber sheeting and an improvised operating table were found in the house where Gates said he was held captive two days and where Heaton's body was found. A jury in Decatur, Ga., awarded a verdict in favor of Walter T. Candler, Atlanta capitalist, growing out of a $100,000 suit brought against him by Mrs. Clyde K. Byfield. She charged that Candler attacked her on the steamer Berengaria during the summer of 1922. Jack Dempsey, world's heavyweight champion, probably will accept a motion picture contract which will prevent him from defending his title before next September, his manager, Jack Kearns, told John Griffin, Providence, R. L., promoter, after rejecting the latter's bid for a Dempsey-Harry Wills match at Cumberland, R. L., July 4. Stocks of wheat on farms were 21,603,000 bushels smaller on March 1 than they were a year ago, while stocks of corn, oats and barley were larger. The Department of Agriculture's farm reserve estimates placed stocks of wheat at 17 per cent of the 1923 crop compared with the ten-year average of 19.2 per cent. Corn stocks were 59,869,000 bushels larger than a year ago, oats stocks 23,692,000 bushels larger, and barley stocks 2,375,000 bushels larger. George M. Sutcliffe of Unionville, Conn., who admitted he had obtained an ectolic license to practice medicine by fraudulent means, was sentenced to jail for six months for manslaughter. He had pleaded nolo contendere to causing the death of Albert G. Moody, an ex-service man, through overdose of ether. Moody had crushed a finger and Sutcliffe was preparing to amputate it. The grand jury found that Sutcliffe was an agent for a Missouri "diploma mill." His was the first license to be revoked by the State Health Council. AN EPITOME OF LATE LIVE NEWS CONDENSED RECORD OF THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS AT HOME AND ABROAD FROM ALL SOURCES GAYINGS, DOINGS, ACHIEVE MENTS, SUFFERINGS, HOPES AND FEARS OF MANKIND WESTERN Four men, heavily armed, held up the Antelope Valley bank, at Lancaster, Calif., locked four employees and a customer in a vault, and escaped with $2,800 cash. Detective Lieut. F. L. Pratt of the Los Angeles police department was shot and killed by Mrs. Mildred Pearl Lloyd, divorced wife of L. P. Schutz, who then ended her life by drinking poison, according to Los Angeles police. Removal orders for Kenneth B. Anderson and John Graham, held in Chicago in connection with the $1,000,000 Los Angeles mall robbery March 3, 1921, were signed in Federal Court at Chicago by United States Commissioner Glass. Bond of $10,000 each was furnished by the defendants. Charles Peter of Salt Lake City, Utah, arrested recently charged with grand larceny in connection with his alleged promotion of stock in a silver mine at Pocatello, Idaho, succeeded in causing several hundred persons to invest $1,100,000 in the stock, Assistant District Attorney Hart of New York City said. Customs Collector Schwaebe has received explicit telegraphic instructions from the Treasury Department at Washington to close the Mexican border at Mexicali and Tla Juana to both pedestrian and vehicular traffic from 9 a. m. each night to 6 a. m. Schwaebe said he had issued instructions accordingly to his officers at the boundary line. He added that with his present force of officers, the order will be difficult to carry out. A total of 10,284 animals have been killed in the campaign against California's epidemic of the hoof and mouth disease. The epidemic is the first in the history of the state and the worst on record in the country since 1915, when the disease spread to twenty-two states. So treacherous is the disease that it may be weeks or even months before the epidemic is stamped out and fresh outbreaks may be expected at any moment, said Dr. J. P. Iverson, chief of the division of animal industry of the State Department of Agriculture. WASHINGTON The McKenzie bill providing for acceptance of Henry Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals, passed by the House, is now in the hands of the Senate. Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin has resigned as chairman and member of the public lands committee, which is investigating oil deals involving government lands. The Senate refused by a vote of 34 to 28 to approve an appropriation of $5,000,000 to be loaned to farmers to finance purchases of fertilizers. It was the first record vote of the session upon a farm relief measure. The House passed the Senate bill which would authorize colage of 2,500,000 50-cent pieces to commemorate the beginning of work in 1918 of the carving of a memorial to Southern soldiers on Stone mountain, Georgia. With a five-word message to Almay—the whole naval establishment—Secretary of the Navy Denby stepped out of office and back to private life. His farewell to the navy was: "Goodby and God bless you." It was broadcast to every ship at sea and in port, to all American naval stations throughout the world. President Coolidge declined to turn over to the oil committee the tax returns of individuals and corporations prominently mentioned in the oil investigation. Replying to a Senate resolution making the request, the President said he had been advised by the acting attorney general that he was without authority to comply. Attorney General Daugherty advised the Senate that the packer dissolution "consent decree" of 1920 had been fully carried out except for the clauses dealing with unrelated commodities and to the stockyards, and that these provisions had been carried out "in spirit." Only one of the "big five" group has not discontinued distribution of unrelated lines, he said, while considerable progress has been made in disposing of stockyard marketing companies. Machinery has been set in motion in Congress to remove from the revenue bill the provisions for a twenty-five per cent reduction on personal income taxes payable this year and incorporate it in a joint resolution which could be adopted before March 15, when first installments are due. Special government counsel in the oil lease cases have left Washington for Wyoming and California to initiate the long court fights looking to the recovery of the naval fuel reserves in those states from the Sinclair and Doheny interests. LATE NEWS From All Over COLORADO LATE NEWS From All Over COLORADO Grand Junction.-The late A. R. Sampliner, prominent Grand Junction merchant, has left to his daughter, Cornelia, a junior at the University of Colorado at Boulder, one-fourth of his estate, valued at $100,000. Denver.-Joe Brindisi was found guilty of murder in the first degree and will serve a sentence of life imprisonment for the murder of Mrs. Lillian McGleone, Aug. 27, 1923. This verdict was brought in by a jury in the West Side Court following over thirteen hours of deliberation. Fort Morgan.-Morgan county set a new high record for the season at the Kansas City stockyards when John Clay & Company sold for Bath & Warner of Fort Morgan 315 ewes averaging 102 at $10, and for Peter H. Peterson of Brush 216 ewes averaging 111 pounds at the same price. Denver.—State Game and Fish Commissioner R. G. Parvin is investigating a complaint of residents of the San Luis valley that mining companies are polluting Kerber creek, a tributary of the Rio Grande. The charge is made that water containing kaolin is permitted to run into the creek, and that the presence of the foreign substance is killing the fish. Craig.—A twenty-four hour test of the Texas Company's new oil well in the Hamilton dome, twelve miles from here, has shown the well has a daily flow of 4,500 barrels, A. R. Wilson, assistant treasurer of the company, announced. The flow was announced following the test. According to the announcement of the company the flow was a natural one and the quantity at the end of the test was just as great as during the first hour. This well, Colorado's latest, was drilled in the oil sands at a depth of 3,820 feet. Denver.—As the climax of a chase through downtown Denver streets and a gun battle in full sight of hundreds of pedestrians, Lawrence Clifford Nelson, alleged member of a bandit gang that has terrorized Denver for the last month, was fatally shot, and his companion, Eugene Charles Vos was arrested. Nelson was shot with a riot gun in the hands of Patrolman Arthur C. Wachter, when he pulled his gun from his pocket to shoot the officer after he had been cornered with Vos by a police automobile. Denver.—Another dollar a ton for its sugar beets for the 1923 crop will be paid to beet farmers by the Great Western Beet Sugar Company on April 1, it was announced here. Total distribution among the growers by the company on that date will be about $2,500,000. This represents the second payment, each of $1 per ton, since the close of the 1923 beet harvest, or a total ton payment to date of $7.50 in the Colorado-Nebraska districts of the company and $8 a ton for the beets of higher sugar content in the Montana district. Boulder.—Windsor high school basketball team, backed by the Windsor band and a rooting squad of more than 200 frenzled Windsor fans, won the state championship at the state high school tournament, which came to a close here, when they defeated the Canon City team 31 to 13. Windsor went through the entire three days of play without losing a game, and as a result captured the second leg on the large silver loving cup, which represents the championship of the Colorado high schools in basketball and which must be taken three consecutive times to be retained. They also won the Spalding cup as a permanent trophy. Canon City wins the cup offered for runnersup as well as a bronze shield for second place. Longmont.—Wilmer Dell, 17 years' old, the son of John W. Dell, a Longmont laborer, was found dead on the Colorado & Southern tracks near the city, his body mangled almost beyond recognition. Windsor.—Windsor high school basketball team, champions of Colorado, will attend the national basketball tournament to be held under the auspices of the Chicago University at that city on April 1 to 6. Colorado Springs.—One of Denver's first Catholic priests, who labored in the community when it numbered but a few thousand back in 1876, celebrated his golden jubilee in the priesthood here last week. He is the Rev. Father John H. Brinker, for eighteen years at the local Sacred Heart church. Denver.—A secret thirty-day reprieve by Governor Sweet last week will save Joe McGonigal, murderer of Ella Centers and Wilbur Ferguson, from the gallows for the present. The reprieve was signed, according to Hale Smith, the governor's secretary, to give alienists an opportunity to examine McGonigal to determine his sanity. Boulder.—The general education board of the Rockefeller foundation has offered a gift of $180,000 to aid in the purchase of equipment for the University of Colorado Medical School and General Hospital at Denver, it was announced here by George A. Norlin, president of the university, after his return from a trip to the East on which he conferred with Dr. Abraham Flexner, chairman of the education board. Dr. Flexner announced definitely that the board will donate $180,000 to the hospital, President Norlin announced. Denver.—Recently one thousand Colorado high school pupils, freshmen and seniors were asked if they knew the length and width of their home state. Not one answered. They did not know that Colorado is 387 miles in length, approximately the distance from Philadelphia to Portland, Maine, and 276 miles in width, approximately the distance from St. Louis to Chicago. They did not know if placed upon the Atlantic Seaboard, that Colorado's length would reach from New York to Toronto, Canada; or from New York to Cleveland, Ohio. This state with a population of one million, represents an area equivalent to almost thirty million people. Perhaps we can better visualize Colorado, when we know that in area England, Scotland and Wales could easily be placed within its boundaries, with room to spare. This inland empire is long on territory, but short on population. It is well known to have more days of sunshine, more where touring, tennis, golf and other sports that keep one out of doors, can be enjoyed almost the entire year. The people of this glorious state should make it a point to know more of the land in which they live, and broadcast this fact to their friends in the east, show their appreciation of Colorado's many advantages, by saying something good for the state wherever they can. 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. Craig—W. K. Moorehouse, a homesteader near Mount Harris, shot and killed Charles Reiss, a neighbor, during a quarrel, according to news reaching Craig. According to the version of the shooting reaching here, Reiss was involved in a quarrel with a 15-year-old boy of the district and Reiss is said to have threatened the youth with a rifle. Moorehouse interfered and engaged in a violent quarrel with Reiss, after which he left the scene, went to his home and procured a rifle. Sterling.—With the death here of a man and a 5-year-old boy, the total number of fatalities from eating polsonous 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. Englewood.—A million dollar foundation 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. Fort Morgan.—Crushed to death between a heavy wagon loaded 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. Colorado Springs.—The historic old Ramona hotel at Cascade, built in 1886, and which housed many great and near great in the early days of the Pike's Peak region, is to be razed. Thomas F. Cusack, Chicago sign-board baron, who owns the town of Cascade, five miles west of Manitou in Ute pass, has asked for bids for wrecking the old structure, which has been condemned by every grand jury here in recent years. Denver.—Milton Schayer, chairman of the Civic and Commercial committee which has been raising money for a flying field in Denver, gave positive assurance that such a field will be located here. Arrangement for a tenyear lease with the privilege of purchase of 132 acres on Colorado boulevard has been made by the committee. The government is satisfied with the arrangement, Mr. Schayer said. Denver.—The retirement of Secretary of State Carl S. Milliken as head of the 120th observation squadron of the Colorado National Guard on account of press of official duties was announced last week by Col. Paul B. Newlon, adjutant general of the National Guard. Fort Morgan.—Plans for a series of community health conferences under the auspices of the bureau of community organization of the extension department of the University of Colorado have been arranged in northeastern Colorado by Arthur C. Cross, executive secretary of the bureau. Conferences at which special attention will be given children of pre-school age have been arranged for Fort Morgan, Orchard, Brush, Sterling, Fleming, Haxtun, Holyoke, Wray, Eckley, Yuma, Otis and Akron. The Fort Morgan conference will be held April 1. PETER T. G. Granberry, President Lady Assistant and Soloist With All Funerals W. T. C.

They are the beacon lights for knowledge, intelligence and advancement, but when the church for the sake of enthusiasm, emotion or to satisfy some old-time whimsical ideas permits an ignoramus jackleg preacher without knowledge, preparation or good sense to fill its pulpit and do hallelujah stunts in the rostrum to the shame of intelligence and the mortification of the saints, but for the satisfaction of a few back numbers, it is time for the press to speak out, and speak plainly. The shame of it is that sensible men and women would tolerate this kind of a thing in Denver for a moment shows how easy it is for people to revert to former times. It also shows how reel appreciation is given to men who are giving the best talent they have to exalt religion and make the church the example of the high wisdom and intelligence that it ought to be. It is no wonder that good ministers often grow impatient when they see how little a high standard of talent is rewarded in colored churches. While many Denver people are not church members, yet when they do go to church they wish to be informed, instructed afd led in in- telligent worship. To encourage weak men in the pulpit is to invite destruction to the cause of religion. May that day never come in Denver. OPTIMISM AND THE NEGRO PROBLEM PTIMISM is a good quality to possess under any circumstances. It O brings success in many cases where pessimism would have brought failure. Light-heartedness, hopefulness, patience and faith in the ultimate triumph of righteousness are universally recognized among the Nogro’s saving graces. There are many friends of the Negro, in the white raco, who believe as steadfastly as the Negro himself believes, that the latter, ultimately, will be elevated to a position of equal importance in the affairs of the nation and of the world, as that enjoyed by the more fortunate races of the earth. A far greater number of white people, however, believe that the Negro is destined to be forever a follower and a mim{e of the advanced races, rather than a sharer and partaker of equal advantages and benefits with them. ‘There are extremists to be found in each of these elements, outside of the Negro race, whose ideas are not safe considerations for the establishment of either extreme hope or extreme fear in the minds of sober persons who are watchful over the changing conditions of the Negro citizen. The ex- tremist who condemns the Negro to everlasting inferiority need not be abjectly feared, for the weight of accumulated evidence is entirely against him. The extremist who expects the Negro suddenly to shake off all of his disabilities and inequalities should not be too implicitly confided in, for a too great measure of hopefulness nurses manifold dangers, such as have ever brought disappointment, desolation and destruction to mankind. An English expert observer of racial conditions once expressed the belief that there would be no Negro problem in the United States in twenty years. “‘It is a consummation devoutly to be wished,” but it partakes too much of the character of a miracle to become a reliable prophecy. ‘Twenty years cover the life of only one generation. The young man or woman graduating’ from school this year will not have passed off the stage of active effort twenty years hence. ‘The Negro has been struggling fifty years since emancipation, and while he has seen tha coming of great changes many of the fundamental ills of '65 yet remain. He must not expect them to vanish in some sudden and mysterious way. He must re- alize and accept his burden and work with untiring faith and optimism until the generations, in God's own time, bring their full reward. ADVANCE IN BUSINESS VERYWHERE there is expectation of marked advance in business dur- E ing the coming spring and summer, and everywhere the wide awake business man is anticipating this expected advance with increased ac- tivity in all those preparatory lines which exert an influence upon trade. Throughout the past year the uncertainty which always attaches to presi- dential years has been manifest in stagnant business and industrial condi- tions, and dull times have been a by-word throughout the land. While Colorado, with its numerous natural resources, may not have suffered as much as other states from the universal slump in trade, a de- cided falling off in business has been apparent but because of those re- sources and many other fortunate advantages, we should be among the first to feel the effects of an assured return to those normal settled condi- tions which inspire confidence and set everybody to work in the develop- ment of enterprises and the re-establishment of commercial and business relations which indicate the general prosperity of the masses. The only thing needed for the present is for business men generally to get in touch with the people, through such judicious advertising as, in the past, has af- forded them safe and logitimate returns. ‘The people are waiting. We are well aware that the readers of THE COLORADO STATESMAN are expectant. The advertising columns of this paper has proven the insti- gation of a sure, legitimate and profitable volume of trade in the past, and the peculiar conditions which make them profitable to the merchant and tradesman were never more favorable than they are today. We therefore urge upon the merchants of Denver the advisability of making our columns ‘a source of convenient and profitable communication. =~ ‘No Man or Woman Should Be Permitted to Carry a Revolver Unless—” Ty FRANK C. NICHOLS, Colt’s Manufacturing Co. i ET it be distinctly understood that American manufacturers do { not favor promiscuous gun toting. We believe no man or woman should be permitted to carry a pistol or revolver unless properly licensed, and such licenses or permits should be granted only to uch persons as are proven capable of properly handling a loaded firearm snd have a legitimate reason for going armed. We believe every pistol vr revolver should bear a manufacturers’ serial nuraber. This number hould be recorded at time of sale. ‘The unfortunate angle, however, is that neither laws nor records ave so far kept pistols and revolvers out of the hands of criminals. Our ‘coling is that the free possession of small arms by this class is due to he general lack of enforcement of existing laws. It may be questionable, even in these days of common violence, vhether there is an advantage in a reputable citizen being armed, but if ‘ircumstances should justifly such mean8 of self-protection, a license to arry shoulé be procurable. However, waiving the “carrying” problem, we now turn to the pos- session of arms for home protection. That is the constitutional right, we believe,,of every American citizen and we, as manufacturers, believe we have the right te supply that want. As to more legislation, we doubt its usefulness, except it ve a clear- ing up of the conflicting state laws, greater penalties for the misuse of small arms, the recording of all sales, thé stoppage of sales to irrespon- sible persons through the medium of the mails and sales to be made to known and reputable persons by a responsible dealer over his counter. It is our opinion that shipments to individuals by mail or express shouid be prohibited in order to insure proper respect for city ordi- nances and state laws. We believe the indiscriminate distribution of arms hrough the mail to persons of unknown age or character is a menace. Plans of Father and Son Movement Now Pecu- liarly Appropriate : ’ ee eee By CALVIN COOLIDGE, President United States. 4 In view of the present conditions throughout the world, which might involve even our own country, now so contented and peaceful, it seems peculiarly appropriate that there should be launched in our home land a program that has as its chief objective the desire that fathers reconse: crate themselves to their paternal obligations, and that the attention of sons de directed to their obligation to their fathers, to their homes and to their country. The father and son movement is intended to lead sons to a greater appreciation of their fathers and of their homes, and to a higher respect for them. It is also intended to encourage them to accept in a larger way theix responsibilities as citizens. With the process of recuperation now going on throughout the world, it is imperative that the basic principles on which America rests should be recognized by all our citizens. History points in no uncertain terms to the fact that great advances in civilization have come as the result of the awakening of the spiritual forces within the individual. No more appro- priate way to accomplish this can be devised than that proposed in the plans of the national father and son movement. The Adoption of the Dollar-and-Cent System by the British Empire By J. RUSSELL GUBBINS, in the English Review. ‘The main reasons for giving the preference to the dollar-and-cent system (over the existing English coinage, or a pound subdivided into a thousand “mils”) may be summed up as follows: Its adaptability for every-day transactions, and its greater simplicity for the keeping of accounts. If we are to aim at one uniform empire currency, that object is more likely to be attained through the dollar than through pound and mil. In not many years from now the number of people using the dollar will be much larger than the number of those using any other coin. ‘This will make the dollar the predominant standard. ‘The adoption of the dollar by the British empire would bring us into line with the great English-speaking communities of North America, and strengthen ties between Anglo-Saxon nationalities. . Four Millions of Americans Lost to Civilization and to Progress By ALBERT V. SIMIS, in McClure’s Magazine. Todawin the United States 4,000,000 native-born American citizens, sons and daughters of American-born parents, are locked up and lost to progress and civilization on an “inland island” 100,000 square miles in area—the Appalachian mountain region of the South. Many of them are today living as their forebears did two centuries ago—in some cases not even as well. In the past year I have talked with persons in these mountains of Kentucky, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee who have never seen an American flag, who have never seen a railroad train, a city, a building more than two stories high, a movie, a radio, a telephone, an airplane. There are thousands of families there whose cash income for a year does not reaeh $50. I know a schoolhouse, if you can dignify the shack by that name, that never had a bench or a chair in it, where the children sit on a rail around the walls—and where they speak the language of Shakespeare, sometimes using words almost obsolete in Shakespeare's day. “Settlement Based on Fair Play and a Sporting € Chance for Under Dog” By CAPT. PERCY REDFERN CREED, British Sportsman. ‘There can be no peace on earth or good will, or the settled conditions oni which trade and commerce, the lifeblood of humanity, depend until a settlement is reached based on fair play for all and a sporting chance for the under dog. It is up to the sportsmen of the world to get together and to infuse into the public opinion of the world and of their own countries the spirit and freemasonry of sportsmanship, for in this spirit lies the only hope of nan. No real sportsman was ever a bad Christian. And it is up to America to lead the way. She holds the Yachting cup, the Polo cup, the International Horse Racing cup, and most of the championships in games and athletics. She is the largest country. She is the biggest nation. A gesture from the sportsmen of America would have fgr-reaching and immediate reactions. a ee ae s es Ee a ee = * ada Os io ea ea 2 Se Sos pete jos pay ariraae S ioa TOSS Paar Fee "a RARE obo tae EO aes ae ae Se a!

H. P. Westbrook, who was elected as one of the alternates. It was a proud honor conferred upon a worthy Race leader, a man strongly identified with the N. A. A. C. P., many fra- ternal organizations and president of the Men's Club of Denver. Dr, Westbrook is also a member of the “Tolerance Group,” also an Inter- racial Commission, both studying at seeking first hand knowledge of the progress and development of the Negro race. He is a fearless champion of our cause at all times, a forceful public speaker and a man of high ‘standing in the community. His name was presented to the convention ‘by Geo. W. Gross in a brief but spirited address, and Hon. John F. Vivian offered the motion that he be declared elected by acclamation, which was done. THE COLORADO STATESMAN heartily congratulates Dr. West- brook, with a feeling of certainty that the interests of the Race will be carefully guarded by him at all times. =e 1 o—=——— mgr) NG L__ Dias a ceceamel SANSA i i WW ) A, iI 1a at BN AG t Aiea aveeem NA aR ERS fi r Heh fei i i eet] PNG i Aaa i} ewe" i Pe An | \ i ona Dry i | iM Heiaaegt |! es I) Hk | ame | I a FRc PRIME UT 1 See i Mies SSNS i ee Ge i << rat Se itil ha I. eas a AN Tal a lb pan MIPS allt t Wi ee TNT cay TU aN iaieearieule aaa Pe Le TT TT eg NTS Hae NNT gh SEEN ° Will Your Floors Stand ° G Punishment? all depends on the varnish.

CHARLES TROPTER our esteemed townsman returned to the city this week after a two months’ sojourn in Hot Springs, Ark., where he went for rest and to receive the benefits of the baths. Mr. Trotter wears every ap- pearance of restoration to health and expresses himself as feeling so many years his junior. He is loud in his praises of the great Pythian Baths owned by our people—the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, the building being estimated to be worth over $400,000 It is said to be the fin-| est of the baths in Hot Springs, and the furniture, service and hospitality are unsurpassed. Mr. Trotter's opin- jon of the colored citizens is they are very progressive and in his contact with some oil kingg of our group feels certain we are not far off success as a whole.

Denver's’ colored delegates to the State Convention last Tuesday were: Attorneys Thos. Campbell and E. P. Blakemore, Mrs, Parthenia George, Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook and Jos. D. D. Riv- ers, Editor of THE COLORADO STATESMAN. CRIME WAVE DRAWS COLOR LINE It is not always that we approve of drawing the color line. In fact we think we have been over zealous in op- posing all forms of racial discrimina- tion, failing to take into account the possible contingency when hae position might be regarded as untenable. of late Denver has been within the grip of criminal element that has terror- ized all parts of the city. “Baby” ban- dits, youthful bandits, and hardened criminals have been sought and round- ed up by the police in a frantic at- tempt to stop deeds of banditry, carried ‘on with such reckless abandon. How- ever, the “crime getm” seems to dis- criminate as to white and colored races. So far the finger of guilt does not point toward the Negro, nor does the police department find it necessary to order a cleanup.in the Negro sec- tion. This is sémething new fn erim- inal circles and wé are duly grateful for the distinction. On the whole, Den- ver has a respectable class of Negro citizens, a fact that’stands out in bold relief, during such a period as the city has been passing through recently. MR. ROBERT W. BAGNALL. Director of Branches of the N. A. A. C. P. to Be in Denver March 24 On March 24 Denver will be favored with a visit by one of the most schol- arly and polished speakers of the race in America, when Robert W.

JUDGE BUTLER OF THE DISTRICT COURT RENDERED IMPORTANT DECISION IN THE CASE OF THE ESTATE OF JOHN S. WILLIAMS, DECEASED. On November 30, 1923, John S. Wil- liams was shot in his home by Geo. ‘Mitchell, who wis a roomer at the home of Williams, and after Williams was taken to the General hospital he lingered and finally died on December 10, 1928. George Mitchell was arrested and tried for the murder of John S. Williams and acquitted in the West Side Criminal Court by a jury. John S. Williams owned a house and lot valued at $1,500 and held lite insur- ance policies and other money aggre- gating about $600.00. Leroy F. Wil- liams, brother of John S. Williams, de- ceased, employed Attorney Thos. Campbell to represent him in the mat- ter of the estate of his deceased brother. Attorney Thos. Campbell immediate- ly took legal steps to have Leroy FP. Williams appointed as administrator of his brother’s estate and Judge Lux- ford issued letters of administration to him upon the application and show- ing made to_the court by Attorney Campbell. Thereupon, Lottie Daniels, who represented herself to the court as the common-law wife of John S. Williams, deceased, made application to the County Court for letters of ad- ministration and was denied the same. She thereupon filed petition in court to have Leroy Williams set aside as administrator and his letters revoked. ‘The case come to trial in the County Court on January 10, 1924, and Attor- ney Thos. Campbell, representing Le- roy F, Williams, won a sweeping vic- tory, wherein Judge Luxford rendered one of the most temarkable opinions on common-law marriages that has ever been handed down in the County Court. Lottie Tagniels, through her counsel, took an appeal to the District Court and the case went to taal before Judge Charles C. Butler February 28. After the evidence was heard and ar- guments of counsel on both sides made to the court, Judge Butler reserved the decision in the case until Thursday morning when he handed down a de- cision affirming the decision of the County Court in the appointment of Leroy F. Williams as administrator of the estate of John S. Williams.

NOTES ‘The HI-Y group held an interesting meeting, The devotional hour was es- pecially spicy, the subject being “Prayer.” Rey. J. E. Allen, leader of the devotional hour, is greatly pleased with the interest manifested on the part of the boys, f The meeting at Zion church last Sunday afternoon was one of the most interesting held for some time. In spite of the inclement weather a large crowd was present. The subject was “The Bootlegger—the Peril of Our Times.” The discussion was led off by Mrs. L. F. Prince who spoke on the “Bootlegger as 1 Menace to So- ciety.” Everybody was proud of her as a lady speaker. She’was followed up by Mr, ‘0. K. Price who spoke on the “Bootlegger and His Customers.” Counselor 8. E. Cary spoke on “Out- lawing the Bootlegger.” ‘The discus- sion was closed by Dr, 8. A, Stripling, speaking on the “Bootlegger and Pub- le Opinion.” It has been a long while since so good a set of addresses was heard. The inclement weather of the week has tended to retard the work on the new building. Up to that time rapid progress was being made, and with the clearing up of the weather it is natural to suppose that the same pro- gress will be maintained, The meeting tomorrow (Sunday) at- ternoon will be held at the Seventh Day Adventist church, Ogden street between 25th and 26th avenues. The Rey. Dr. Perey Chandler Ladd, pastor of the Plymouth Congregational church will be the speaker. Dr. Ladd ‘ranks among the ablest ministers of this city, and will give an inspiring message. The meeting will be open to everybody, and it is hoped that all the friends will attend. J 5 Famous Violin Virtuoso, Clarence Cameron White, People’s Presbyterian church, Monday, April 7. MRS.

Public Service Company OF COLORADO COMMUNICATION. The Republican state convention, el sembled at Colorado Springs March 11, 1924, made history by choosing a| full delegation of loyal Republicans et espouse the cause and the true prin- ciples of the party and who are united in the one effort to carry out the wish of all Republicans in the state of Colorado, that being the nomination of the great standard bearer, Calvin Cool- idge. But with it all the Negroes of Colorado, constituting a voting part of this G. O. P. who are always true and loyal to a trust, and who have the same God-given rights as other ‘men, think and act for themselves, are iden- tifled with the G. 0. P. were rep-| resented by members of the race, in the convention assembled, as dele- gates, not as any particular race dele- gate, but as Republican delegates; feeling it a duty to the party and gov- ernment with which we are all identi- fied to so recognize each other on equal terms with all as Republican delegates, went pledged to a duty, that of harmony «and party loyalty, placed before the convention by Joseph D. D. Rivers, editor of the Colorado States- man, a lifelong Republican, the name of a member of our race, as a candi- date for delegate at large to the Na- tional Republican convention from this state; also George W. Gross, a hard-working Republican, the name of a member of our race, for alternate, expecting the delegation of Republi- cans of Denver to at least give a com- plimentary vote as an expression of gratitude to the Republicans of the Negro race; not because of our iden-| tity as a race, but because of what we merit, and our worth as a part of the voting constituency of the Repub- lican party, but nay, not a vote from our own delegation, Suffice it to say | that Weld, Montrose, Douglass and other counties of the state heralded a righteous cause; came to our rescue with a proportionate share of their votes and by their attitude and action caused to be elected Dr, J. H. P. West- brook as alternate after the leader, with the majority of the Denver dele- gation, had stealthily walked out of the convention hall, and by the action of the outside counties, in supporting as they did the race delegates nomi- nated and further electing the race alternate, was a flat condemna- ion brought_ on the weak Repub- leans of the Denver delegation | who declared by their acts that the| oly thing desired by the Negro in the} party is his vote. The Negro, as a) man, has been trusted with the affairs | of home and state in the times of rurmoil and war, certainly should be rusted in the times of peace with a] lelegated power of casting a ballot in favor of the nominee, Calvin Cool- dge, and the party at Cleveland June Oth. Some might say, as our fellow Re-/| mublican was heard to say, Monday, March 10th, at the Republican con- rressional convention: “Why ask for Negro delegates any more than for few, Italian or Irish delegates?” We lo not think that the same rule ap- lies to our race, as intimated by our earned and distinguished Republican. sorry to say that we are not to be Named, but the Jew, Italian and Irish, eing recognized as members, and ruly $0, members of the white or Cau- asian race; thereby not being so cir-|s umscribed as are members of my own ace, but we as a people are encircled n a certdin sphere and group not by ny choice of our own, color being the nly barrier, are forced to ask, not de- nand, but insist upon just recognition inder the rule and custom of our plea s a race, for what under the Federal onstitution and the amendments hereto provide for us as our civil and olitical rights, and further, we be- leve in one of the basic principles ought for during the war with Eng- and, “That taxation without repre- entation is tyranny.” But as Repub- icans, we do not intend to desert the old of Republicanism, but fight it out n and with the party. There comes a eckoning day, when the chaff will be eparated from the whent, so will the retenders be separated from the true tepublicans. E. P. BLAKEMORE.

Wearing of the Green of Mary Graham Bonner OH, Kathleen laughed a merry laugh, And she dressed herself in green. "To celebrate St. Patrick's Day," Said this blue-eyed Irish queen. And she met a man so handsome With a shamrock in his hat. And their eyes they met, and lingered; Just what do you make of that? Oh, yes, you're right, it is quite true That before long they were wed. And all because they wore the green, Each of them since has said! HERE is no ground for wondering at the zeal and piety with which the Irish people commemorate the anniversary of their patron saint, since, for HERE is no ground for wondering at the zeal and piety with which the Irish people commemorate the anniversary of their patron saint, since, for reasons based on fact, St. Patrick means more to them, and has for centuries meant more to Ireland, than any other patron saint in the calendar has meant to the land that reveres his name. Indeed, he is the only one who can be said to have been associated with his country to such a degree as to shape its destiny and to dominate all its subsequent history. Some of the most famous patron saints have had only the most shadowy and legendary relations to the countries which adopted them. Such conspicuously is the case with St. George, who never was in England nor had anything to do with it. If we are to believe Gibbon, he was a most undesirable and discreditable person, a grafter, a tyrant and a heretic, who richly deserved the killing which was administered to him; and he was adopted as a patron by Richard Coeur de Lion because he saw him in a dream, before the Battle of Acre, as a precursor of victory. Butter, the Catholic historian, makes him an entirely different person, of saintly life, who suffered martyrdom under Diolefian, but was never near England. Finally, the erudite and reverent Sabine Baring-Gould doubts if there ever was such a person, outside of a gun myth. St. Andrew was a real enough person, the brother of Simon Peter, of Bethsaida, in Galllee. But all that we know of him is in the New Testament, and there is only the most legendary foundation for the story that his body was taken to Scotland; and interred where now stand the city and cathedral which bear his name. David, or Ddewl, was a real person, too, archbishop of Caerleon and primate of Wales. But he had no lasting influence over the life of the Welsh people, and, indeed, he was regarded as belonging more to England than to Wales—especially since he was reputed to have wrought the miracle which created the thermal waters at Bath! Denis, or Dionysius, was an early—by no means the first—missionary to the Gauls, and was the first bishop of Paris; but his mark in French history is so slight as to be almost negligible—perhaps most remembered through the epigram of the irreverently witty lady of the old regime who, being reminded that after his martyrdom by decapitation the saint walked two miles with his head under his arm, before he died, observed: "The distance doesn't matter; it's the first step that counts!" As for James the Elder, brother of John, and son of Zebedee, he appears to have suffered martyrdom under Herod Agrippa in A. D. 44, and there is only legendary authority for the story that he preached in Spain and that after his death Spanish converts bore his body back to their country, where in the year 541 he rose from his tomb, mounted a white horse, led the army of King Ramiro of Leon against the Moors at Clavijo, and with his sword slew sixty thousand of the infidels. And Nicholas, our old friend Santa Claus, Archbishop of Myra—perhaps his remains were removed to Barl, where those marvelous celebrations in his honor are yearly held; but it is quite certain that he had nothing to do with Russia. But Patrick, or Succat (in Celtic), whether of Irish blood and birth or not, was, from his boyhood to his death, inseparably identified with Ireland and the Irish, and his teachings and his influence have for fifteen centuries been so closely interwoven with the intellectual and spiritual life of that people as to be bone of their bone, flesh of their flesh, brain of their brain, heart of their heart. The very map of Ireland is a record of his life. He landed at Innispatrick and thence went to Holmpatrick. Converting a chieftain in County Down on his own threshing floor, the place became known as Sabbalpatrick and Saulpatrick. In Antrim there is Templepatrick, and also Ballyligpatrick, and a mountain in Mayo is Croaghpatrick. In East Meath he founded the Abbey of Domnachpatrick; in Donegal there is St. Patrick's purgatory, in Leinster St. Patrick's wood, at Cashel St. Patrick's rock, and there are a dozen St. Patrick's wells. There is Downpatrick where he died, and Downpatrick head. In other lands, too, his name is thus preserved. He was said to have been born at Kilpatrick, in Dumbartonshire; he lived at Dalpatrick in Lankshire; he visited Craigpatrick, near Inverness; he built churches at Kirkpatrick in Kirkendbright, at Kirkpatrick in Dumfries, and at Kirkpatrick in Durham; he preached at Patricksdale or Patterdale in Westmoreland; he walked into Wales over Sarnpatrick, or Patrick's causeway; the Isle of Man was called Innispatrick after he had visited it and had founded the Church of Kirkpatrick, and he sailed for France from Llanpatrick, in Anglesen. Note, too, the manner in which various notable traditions have come to be identified with Patrick, though existing long before his time. trefoil was venerated by the ancient Persians as emblematic of the Triads in their religion, and in Arabic it was called "shamrakh." But nobody ever thinks of it, or of oxalts, now save as the Irish shamrock, used by St. Patrick in his demonstration of the Christian Trinity. Again, centuries before his time, it was scientifically asserted that serpents were never seen where trefoil grows and that herb was a specific against their bite. But who thinks now of the Elder Pliny by the side of the story of St. Patrick's expulsion of all serpents from the land where the shamrock grows? It might indeed he plausibly questioned whether, with the one obvious exception, any other single man has for centuries meant so much to the genius and the life of a people as St. Patrick has to the Irish race throughout the world. St. Patrick's Day Dreams I wonder today in old Ireland If someone is thinking of me. I wonder if thoughts are a turning To a man who lives over the sea? I wonder if shamrocks they gather, If they're picking a one for me. And when the neat fires burn, in the FRANCE GIVEN LARGE CREDIT MORGAN ARRANGES $100,000,000 LOAN FOR BANK OF FRANCE LOAN IS ARRANGED CREDIT IS GIVEN IN ORDER TO STABILIZE FRENCH EXCHANGE New York.—Establishment of a banking credit of not less than $100,000,000 in favor of the Bank of France has been arranged by an American banking group headed by J. P. Morgan and Company, it was announced here. The loan is fully secured by gold held in the Bank of France, which is acting for the French government, and will be used to stabilize French exchange and as the French government may determine. While details of the loan were not made public, it is understood that it will not run for more than one year. In the event that the credit is not at maturity liquidated in other ways, gold in amount equal to the loan will be shipped to the Morgan firm in New York. In view of the excellent security, it is believed the interest rate is relatively low. The group is limited to bankers of New York and neighboring cities, applications to share in the loan largely exceeding the amount required by the French government. In connection with this credit, the governor of the Bank of France has issued a statement which sets forth the following points: 1. Complete measures are being taken to better the financial situation. 2. The French government is insisting that the Senate shall ratify the new tax measure, which means balancing the budget, and shall approve the policy of stopping new expenditures. 3. Until the financial situation has been greatly bettered the government will undertake no new borrowings whatsoever except for funding existing floating indebtedness. 4. After such improvement in the financial situation has been shown, the government will make no new loans, even for reconstruction in the liberated regions, without being assured that the budget will cover the service of such new loan. 5. The Bank of France will continue to envisage and assist the situation. Tut Tomb Parleys Collapse Cairo, Egypt.—Negotiations for a peaceful solution of the controversy over the tonib of Tutankhamen have collapsed and it is understood the Egyptian government has withdrawn its offer of a new concession to the countess of Carnarvon, to carry on the work in the tomb begun by her late husband. Breaking off of negotiations was due to a remark made in court by the lawyer representing the Carnarvon trustees, who referred to the Egyptian ministers who closed the tomb at Luxor or bandits. Storm Ruins Florida Fruit Crop Orlando, Fla.—A cloudburst, followed by a terrific gale, has caused considerable damage to fruit crops in this section, according to messages drifting into Orlando from growers over this section. The damage, it was said, resulted in those sections where the fruit had been unpicked. Abandon Immediate Tax Reduction Washington.—The movement to obtain immediate action on the proposed 25 per cent reduction in income taxes payable this year was revived in the House, but as quickly turned down, Republican leaders decided that action could not be obtained on a resolution before first installments are due. Republican members of the ways and means committee meeting with Representative Longworth, party leader, agreed, however, that if the revenue bill, already passed by the House and containing this provision meets with any delay in enactment, a separate resolution to make the cut effective before June 15 would be pressed. British Liner Seized by U. S. New York.—Seizure by customs authorities on order of Secretary of Treasury Mellon of the Royal Mall liner Orduna was the direct cause of a raid made on the vessel, when eight members of the crew were arrested and $10,000 in whisky and narcotics were seized, it was announced. Eight persons were arrested, including the chief steward of the steamer. U. S. Steamer Sinks New York.—The captain of the Ward line freighter Santiago and twenty-four of his men are believed to have been lost with their vessel in the hurricane which swept the Atlantic coast, taking eight lives in New York City alone. Ten men were reported rescued and twenty-five were missing from the Santiago, news of whose sinking sixty miles south of Cape Hatterus was carried in a radio message intercepted by the Charleston, S. C., navy yard station, from the Norwegian steamer Cissy. COOLIDGE NAMES NAVY SECRETARY COOLIDGE NAMES NAVY SECRETARY CHIEF JUSTICE WILBUR OF CALI FORNIA APPOINTED SECRE- TARY OF NAVY WILBUR ACCEPTS OFFER DENBY'S SUCCESSOR IN CABINET IS WELL KNOWN LAWYER OF PACIFIC COAST San Francisco.—Curtis D. Wilbur, chief justice of the California Supreme Court, announced here that he had received a telegram from President Coolidge tendering him the office of secretary of the navy, made vacant by the resignation of Edwin Denby and that he had accepted. Justice Wilbur said he telegraphed to President Coolidge that he would arrange to come to Washington as soon as his appointment was confirmed by the Senate. Chief Justice Wilbur has been one of California's leading lawyers and jurists for many years. He is known especially well for his work in behalf of child welfare, both as an official and as a citizen. While he was judge of the Superior Court in Los Angeles, he organized the Juvenile Court there and drafted several bills which later formed the basis of California's Juvenile Court law. The judge also is prominent as a Sunday school worker. He is a Congregationalist. Judge Wilbur was born in Boonesboro, Iowa, May 10, 1867, and was educated at the public schools there. He attended high school at Jamestown, N. D. He was graduated from the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis in June, 1888. Later he studied law and began his practice in Los Angeles. The lure of the sea has remained with the judge. Only recently, before Secretary Denby resigned, Judge Wilbur said that "next to the sea I like law as an occupation." The judge is a brother of Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Stanford University. He was elected chief justice of the California Supreme Court in 1922, after having served as associate justice since 1919. Washington, —President Coolidge's tender of the navy secretaryship was declined by Federal Judge William S. Kenyon, and the chief executive offered the portfolio to Chief Justice Curtis D. Wilbur of the California Supreme Court. Judge Kenyon, himself, announced the declination, declaring in a formal statement that he could not escape the conclusion that he did not possess "the essential qualifications or training for the office." Teapot Drilling Stopped by Court. Cheyenne, Wyo.—All drilling operations of the Mammoth Oil company on the Teapot dome oil reserve are halted and the operation of existing wells is reduced to the minimum deemed "necessary to prevent loss or damage" under the terms of a temporary injunction granted by Federal Judge T. Blake Kennedy at the request of the United States government. Judge Kennedy appointed Rear Admiral Joseph Strauss of the United States navy and A. E. Watts, vice president of the Sinclair Consolidated Oil corporation as joint receivers to take charge of the properties and sell oil from producing wells pending the final settlement of the government's suit for annulment of the lease of the reserve to Harry F. Sinclair and the Mammoth Oil Company. Fire Sweeps El Jebel Temple Denver.—Fire, estimated to have done $75,000 damage to the building and fixtures, broke out in El Jebel temple and for a time threatened to destroy the entire building. The fire, said to have started on the auditorium stage on the fourth floor of the five-story building, swept through the upper part, penetrating to a portion of the fifth floor at the southeast corner of the building. The entire stage was destroyed by the flames. The flames were first discovered, bursting through the fourth floor windows, by a passerby, who turned in the alarm. Girl Confesses Killing Father Ttmpa, Fla. — "I stamped him to death with my feet." This was the statement made by Eva Winchester, the 18-year-old daughter of J. C. Winchester, 65, whose body was found at his home in Seffner. The girl implicated her mother in a statement to the sheriff, in which she said she was ordered to kill her father by her mother. Both are in the county jail here charged with murder. German Reichstag Is Dissolved Berlin.—For the fifth time in Germany's history, and the first since the nation became a republic, the reichstag was dissolved as calmly and quietly as it came into existence nearly four years ago. Chancellor Marx read the decree of President Ebert which brought an end to the German parliament. The date of the election has not yet been set, as much depends upon the attitude of the inter-allied Rhineland commission concerning elections in the occupied territory.

Eggs in water glass properly preserved will keep in good condition from six to ten months and can be used satisfactorily for all purposes in cooking and for the table. They will prove an economy for use in cakes, puddings and other cookery, and a convenience when the hens are not laying enough for ordinary daily needs, or when it is impossible to send to the store for the usual order, or when unexpected company comes. it and allow it to do twelve quarts of water point and cool it. With nine quarts of water add one quart of soda monly called water g be purchased at m Stir well to mix the sly. Put Eggs in A The solution is no eggs, which may be or from time to time Eggs fresh from the nest, gathered as soon as possible after being laid, are best for preserving. When only one day old they will be almost equally satisfactory, but should not be "put down" after they have been kept three or more days. Best results have been obtained by the United States Department of Agriculture by using one part water glass to nine parts of water. Select a five-gallon earthen or stone crock which will hold about 15 dozen eggs and clean it thoroughly. Scald CANNED VEGETABLES IN DIFFERENT WAYS Family Soon Tires of Them Served in Same Way. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) If canned vegetables are always served in exactly the same way, the family soon tires of them whether put up at home or bought. There are many ways of dressing these products up, however, to make them more tempting. No matter how canned vegetables are served, they should be boiled thoroughly after they are poured from the can and before they are tasted, the United States Department of Agriculture counsels the housekeeper. A little onion juice or celery salt or a bit of green pepper or celery tops or a small piece of bay leaf, improves the flavor of many canned vegetables. Here are some suggestions: Canned tomatoes, spinach, asparagus, okra, eggplant or corn can be scalloped by spreading in layers in a baking dish, with bread crumbs in between. Each layer is sprinkled with butter, salt, pepper, or paprika, seasoned with the liquor from the can, and any other preferred flavoring. Bread crumbs usually form the top layer, so that when the dish is baked, it is attractively browned. Canned sweet potatoes may be mashed and baked, or made into sweet potato pie, or baked in layers with slices of apples between. Canned vegetables can be combined with each other or with the so-called winter vegetables. Tomatoes are good with peppers, or with okra and onion, with corn, with string beans, or both or with celery. These may be served as vegetable dishes or combined in soups. Turnips and celery in combination are excellent, especially in a white sauce. Diced carrots with canned peas or string beans cut in small pieces, are usually liked. Beets and turnips may be hollowed out to make cups in which peas or small lima beans are served. A ham bone or piece of bacon put in for flavor, with a little vinegar, is often liked with canned string beans or canned spinach. Spinach souffle and spinach loaf are two dishes that make plain canned spinach seem different. When serving canned baked beans, they may be reheated to advantage with a little extra seasoning consisting of a tablespoonful of molasses, a pinch of mustard, and a bit of salt pork or bacon. Keep Cut Bananas White Very often it is necessary to cut up bananas for salad or desert and leave them standing for some time. As a rule they turn black and spoil the appearance of the dish. This can be prevented if you sprinkle the cut fruit with a little lemon juice. The juice will improve the flavor. A Baking Hint Take a dripping pan that will about fit your gas oven and fill with beach sand; put it underneath the first grate of your oven and you will have no difficulty in browning your cake or biscuits on top. it and allow it to dry. Heat ten to twelve quarts of water to the boiling point and cool it. When cool, measure nine quarts of water into the crock, add one quart of sodium silicate (commonly called water glass), which can be purchased at most drug stores. Stir well to mix the solution thoroughly. Put Eggs In Any Time. The solution is now ready for the eggs, which may be put in all at once or from time to time as they are obtained. Before any eggs are put in the crock it should be set in a cool dry place where it can remain undisturbed. If any attempt is made to move the jar after it has eggs in it some of the eggs might crack and spoil, affecting the entire crock. The solution should cover the eggs at least two inches at all times. If any of the solution evaporates, more should be mixed in the same proportion and added. If the jar is covered with a tight lid or waxed paper, very little evaporation will occur. DO NOT SPREAD DUST IN CLEANING HOUSE Vacuum Cleaner and Dustless Mop Are Favored. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The feather duster and the broom scatter the dust; the vacuum cleaner and the dustless mop take it up. A carpet is not as easy to clean as a rug; too many ornaments catch dust. There are several hand-power carpet A woman mopping a hardwood floor. A Dustless Mop Can Be Used Anywhere. sweepers on the market not requiring electricity, any of which collect the dust instead of scattering it. A dustless mop can be used anywhere. If a broom must be used, the dust may be laid to some extent by scattering wet shredded newspaper or tea leaves or any of the harmless sweeping compounds offered for sale. The strokes should be even and firm and taken in such a way that the broom or brush is kept on the floor most of the time and not flirted through the air, says the United States Department of Agriculture. The dust cloth should be held in a fairly compact mass, so that the surface to be cleaned is wiped or polished and at the same time the dust is held by the cloth. Small pictures and bric-a-brac should be dusted and removed from the room or placed in a pile and covered. Draperies and portieres should be taken down or pinned up. Furniture, mirrors and large pictures should be dusted and covered with cloths. Both cleaning and dusting should be done from the top down. Household Questions The kitchen should be the pleasantest room in the house. How about yours? Before using a lamp wick soak it in strong vinegar, then dry it thoroughly and it will burn brightly and without any unpleasant smoke or smell. ( @, 1924, Western Newspaper Union.) There are two words in the English language, simple words in themselves, yet they have caused untold misery. They have broken friendship, disrupted homes, broken hearts and killed people. These words are—"they say"—Hunter. For a nice dinner which may be spread over several days the following meat will be found eco- X chopped fine, a tablespoonful of melted butter, one teaspoonful of chopped parsley and the same of onion juice. Season well with salt and pepper. Skewer the stuffing within the meat carefully and roast in a covered pan. Prepare the gravy by, adding a tablespoonful of melted butter to one teaspoonful of chopped parsley, the same of onion juice and kitchen bouquet. Baste the meat liberally with this sauce before taking it from the oven, then let stand in the oven five minutes longer. Serve on a hot platter garnished with fried potatoes. Serve with sauce in a gravy boat. Pea Pancakes.—Drain the liquid from a can of peas and rub them through a sieve or colander and mash to a paste with butter. Season well and add two well-beaten eggs, one cupful of milk and just enough flour to make of the right consistency for griddle cakes. Fry on a hot griddle. If the family likes kidneys this will be enjoyed; Kidneys Sauted.—Split each kidney, wash, trim off all fat and cut into quarters. Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter in a frying pan; sprinkle the kidneys with salt and pepper, roll in flour and fry in hot butter. Turn often while they are cooking. When they are a nice brown place on a hot platter and pour round the fat after seasoning it with catsup, onion juice and a dash of jelly, all boiled up once before serving. Oyster Omelet.—Chop a dozen oysters. Make a sauce of a tablespoonful of all flour and butter; add three tablespoonfuls of cream, a pinch of soda and the same amount of liquor, strained. Season well; add the oysters and bring to the boiling point. Cook the omelet, cover with the oyster sauce and serve hot. Browned Mince of Beef.—Chop the remains of yesterday's beef fine and mix it with one-third as much mashed potato; season well with pepper, salt and onion juice; moisten with a little of the gravy or butter and hot water. Mix well, turn into a baking dish, cover with buttered crumbs and bake twenty minutes in a hot oven. A salad is always a welcome dish and the following dressing will be enjoyed on lettuce: Russian Dressing. Beat one-half cupful of French dressing, using six tablespoonfuls of oil with two of vinegar. Salt, paprika to taste. Add gradually this dressing into a half-cupful of mayonnaise, beating with an egg beater; then add two tablespoonfuls* of chill sauce and fold in one-third of a cupful of cream, whipped. Season well with chopped green and red pepper, onion juice, parsley and chopped cucumber pickle. Apricot Sponge.—Soften one tablespoonful of gelatin in one-quarter of a cupful of cold water, then add one cupful of apricot pulp and juice, heated hot; add one-quarter cupful of sugar; stir until the mixture thickens, then fold in the whites of two eggs, stiffly beaten. Serve with whipped cream. Prunes are good used in the place of apricots. Cheese and Chicken Dish.—Rub the yolk of one hard-cooked egg to a paste with a tablespoonful of olive oil or butter. Add one teaspoonful of salt, one of made mustard, one of granulated sugar and one-quarter teaspoonful of cayenne. Mix with two cupfuls of grated cheese and one cupful of chopped chicken. Press into scallop shells or ramekins and bake just long enough to become hot and the cheese melted. Made Mustard.—Into four tablespoonfuls of dry mustard beat one tablespoonful of salad oil. Mix well, adding enough vinegar to make a smooth paste, then add a teaspoonful each of white pepper, onion juice and sugar. Beat hard and long to mix well, then bottle. This mustard equals the best mustards in the market, at very little cost. Another Salad.—Take one cupful each of cooked pens, peanuts finely minced and one-half cupful finely minced good-flavored pickles and the same of chopped ripe olives. Add a good well-seasoned boiled dressing, mix well and serve on lettuce. Nellie Maxwell FOOD FOR THE FAMILY Stuffed Shoulder of Lamb.—Have the bones taken out neatly and fill the cavity left with stuffing made of bread crumbs, raw oysters, using a cupful of crumbs and a dozen oysters. Others shall take patience, courage to their heart and hand. From thy hand and thy heart and thy brave cheer. And God's grace fructify through thee to all. —E. B. Browning. GOOD THINGS FOR OCCASIONS Russian Dressing. — Beat one-half cupful of French dressing, using six tablespoonfuls of oil with two of vinegar. Salt, paprika to taste. Add gradually this dressing into a half-cupful of mayonnaise, beating with an egg beater; then add two tablespoonfuls* of Just remember today is the day you worried about yesterday and the day before yesterday; and today isn't what you expected.

SOMETHING ABOUT OLIVES A ripe olive yields twice as much heat or twice as many calories as the green olive and is nearly equivalent to bread which we consider the staff of life. The ripe olive like the green has to be eaten often be- green olive has is nearly equivalent to bread which we consider the staff of life. The ripe olive like the green has to be eaten often before it is well liked by most people. Those who become accustomed to it like it far better than the green; it is more easily digested and much richer in food value. Ripe olives because of their flavor, which is very delicate, are especially good in meat sauces and dressings and made dishes. A half-dozen ripe olives chopped fine and added to the giblet sauce to serve with chicken or turkey are especially nice. Olive Sauce.—Melt four tablespoonfuls of butter and add a tablespoonful of chopped chives; cook until softened. Remove the chives, add five tablespoonfuls of flour and one-half teaspoonful of salt with a few dashes of cayenne pepper. Add two cupfuls of brown stock and cook until thick. Cut one dozen ripe olives from their pits, cover with boiling water for five minutes, then add the sauce. Serve with meat or game. Hawaiian Salad.—Place a slice of pineapple on a leaf of lettuce. On it arrange alternate sections of orange and grapefruit, between each section a piece of ripe olive. In the center of the pineapple place a ball of cream cheese seasoned with mayonnaise to hold it together. Sprinkle with paprika and serve with French dressing. The pineapple juice may be used in place of vinegar for the dressing. Pass mayonnaise for the salad. Olive Salad.—Take four tart apples, one bunch of celery, one-half cupful of walnut meats and three-fourths of a cupful of pitted ripe olives. Cut the celery, apples and olives into julienne strips, add the nuts, moisten with mayonnaise and serve in a nest of lettuce. Today is ours, what do we fear? Today is ours; we have it here; Let's treat it kindly; that it may Wish at least with us to stay. Let's banish business, banish sorrow; To the gods belongs tomorrow. —Anagreon. WHAT TO SERVE FOR DINNER Chicken served in the ordinary manner may become monotonous; try the following: Chicken en Casserole. — Disjoint a chicken and roll in seasoned flour, then saute in hot fat until well browned on all Chicken en Casserole. — Disjoint a chicken and roll in seasoned flour, then saute in hot fat until well browned on all sides. Cut a carrot into even slices, add one onion for each person served. Cut out a dozen potato balls. Cook the vegetables in a little fat until they are slightly browned, then arrange the chicken and vegetables in the casserole. With the giblets, neck and wing tips make a broth by covering with cold water, pour this while hot over the chicken, season well, cover and let cook in the oven until the chicken is tender. It will take about two hours. The broth should be prepared before the chicken is ready to cook. Oysters With Macaroni. — Cook three-fourths of a cupful of macaroni broken into inch pieces until tender. Scald one pint of oysters. Put a layer of buttered crumbs, one of cooked macaroni and a layer of cheese, using a half cupful of crumbs and three-fourths of a cupful of cheese, salt, pepper and the oyster liquor. Repeat until all the ingredients are used. Cover with buttered crumbs. Bake thirty minutes in a moderate oven. Baked Eggplant.—Pure, cut into cubes and cook until tender in boiling water a small eggplant. It will take from ten to twenty minutes. Drain in a colander. For three cupfuls of cubes, chop fine one small onion, add one half cupful of mushrooms and cook in two tablespoonfuls of fat; then add the eggplant, a cupful of tomato strained, bread crumbs, parsley and salt and paprika. Place in a baking dish, cover with buttered crumbs and bake until brown. Tea Cakes.—Bake a plain cake recipe in gem pans. Cut open, scoop out the centers and fill with sweetened and flavored whipped cream. Fruit may be used in place of the cream if desired. Top with whipped cream. Baked Tripe, Spanish Style--Boll four pounds of tripe until tender—the fresh tripe is used for this—drain, sprinkle with salt, pepper and arrange in a well-buttered baking dish. Four over one quart of chopped tomatoes or the amount of canned tomatoes, season to taste and bake one-half hour in a moderate oven.

Spring Hat for Every Face; Knitted Jacquette for Spring THE small, cozy cloche has given womankind its blessing and turned its face to the wall. It has fulfilled its mission and proved a great comfort, demonstrating that hats can make all women look prettier—and often younger. In order to pass in peace it had to bequeath to us many descendants, and they are pledged to do even more for us, in the way of becomingness. The hat at the top of the group shown here, bears a strong family re- C C ili NEW SHAPES FOR SPRING semblance to the cloche but has taken on a wide coronet at the front, covered with silk. The crown is apparently covered with hairstroch or one of the new millinery crepes. An ornament that looks like a bar pln and a pair of wing-like feather fancies make a graceful trimming. The hat at the left, of milan braid has a brim about the front and sides, where it curls up and stops short. The back is brimless. It is bound with a narrow plaid ribbon and there is a monture of silk flowers and fruits in bright colorings, posed at the front. 1 THE ROSE JACQUETTE WITH UP-AND-DOWN STRIPE In the hat at the right, the brim goes almost once and a half about the crown. The shape is covered with crepe, in a light color and trimmed with a huge flower rosette set in silk follage. Paris sent us the original of the charming hat of moire ribbon and milan brald which appears at the lower left of the group. It has a collar and a scarf end of cire ribbon and is entirely in black and is called a sailor. The last hat is a gay little affair having its crown covered with small flowers, a coronet of shirred taffeta with wing-like trimming of the silk at the sides and a jeweled, short bar pin at the front.

JULIA B © 1924 Western News --- --- tous importance, "What shall I buy for spring?" in reply to which Fashion flashes instantaneous reply, "Something knitted." Why not, then, a knitted jacquette? Of all the sweater interpretations which glorify spring showings of knitted outerwear, there is none more popular than the jacquette. When it comes to the knitted jacquette as part of one's spring wardrobe, the question of "to be or not ili to be" should in all wisdom be answered in the affirmative. The new plaited skirts and the knitted ones, too, second the motion, for they fairly conx the jacquette to serve as their ally for a stylish ensemble costume. For the new season knitted jacquettes have a clever way of expressing themselves in stripes, either vertical or horizontal. The one in the picture exploits the up-and-down stripe intermingling the much-talked-of new wheat color with Mexican brown. Other points of latest fashion inspiration are the Byron collar, the wide I cross-over button effect at the hipline and the loose-flowing sleeve. Many of the jacquettes trend to the surplice mode. This is a feature very well liked, since it gives opportunity for display of lace and lingerie jabot, a point of style distinction emphasized this season. Another point of interest in advance jacquette modes is that they are more or less designed to preserve the thin straight silhouette. It adds also to the prestige of the knitted jacquette in that it is developed not only in fine woolen yarns for practical wear, but luxury is expressed in exquisite overblouses knitted of pure silk, fiber silk or for summer wear, filmiest iced wool in ravishing pastel tones and tints.
