An audience of 3,000 cheered Senator James J. Walker of the New York State Legislature, author of the Anti-Klan bill, and Col. William Hayward, former commander of the old fifteenth regiment, now the 369th, who spoke at the third New York mass meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in the Renaissance Casino on Sunday, March 9. James Weldon Johnson, N. A. A. C. P. secretary, in introducing Senator Walker, "dared" the Klan to parade through Harlem or any other section of New York in their regalia, and Senator Walker took this up. "If the Ku Klux Klan were to go up Lenox avenue or any other avenue," said Senator Walker, "if we knew who they were, we would not worry about them. The most unfortunate aspect of this thing in America is that they don't come like men in the sunlight where we can see them, but wear masks like the cowards they are. Arthur Little and many members of the 369th regiment, including the cadet band, attended the meeting in honor of Col. Hayward. URGES FARM LABOR BUREAU At the suggestion of Mr. Quince Record, who is in charge of the Information Service of the U. S. Employment Service, Rocky Mountain District, Senator Phipps is backing a plan to establish a Farm Labor Bureau in Denver. The matter has been taken up with the Denver Civic and Commercial Association, which is willing to give every possible assistance, and the early establishment of such a bureau, which would be available to all citizens of the state, is anticipated. An employment office of this sort would prove helpful to farmers needing labor, as well as to laborers themselves. N. A. A. C. P. Wins "All we want to do is to make them take off the mask. Let us get a good look at their faces. While the mask is on, the fellow with whom you and I are rubbing elbows every day, whom you and I perhaps know best and are trusting, is quietly underpining the foundations of this wonderful country and doing it in the dark. All we want is to be able to look at them, just to be able to catalogue them and then whether it is on Lenox avenue or down on the Bowery, don't you worry about them." Col Hayward, declaring that no regiment in the United States army had had a more distinguished record in France than the colored troops he had commanded, spoke of the insults to which colored soldiers wearing the uniform had been subject. He declared that as United States attorney, his present office, he had no right to make recommendations, but if it were in his power he would recommend clemency for the men of the 24th Infantry still imprisoned for their alleged share in the Houston riot of 1917. Col Hayward declared himself as strongly favoring enactment of the Dyer anti-lynching bill. John E. Nail, president of the Association of Trade and Commerce of Harlem, another speaker of the meeting, urged that the seventy-two Negro banks throughout the country and various other financial institutions controlled by Negroes unite their forces to bring about political and civic justice for the race. The audience gave $335.94 in cash and $69 in pledges toward the work of the N. A. A. C. P. Miss Revella Hughes of the Runnin' Wild Company, sang and was encored enthusiastically. William H. Roach, owner of the Renaissance Casino, for the third time, returned the check paid him by the N. A. A. C. P. for rent of the hall, donating it to the association. Col. Arthur Little and many members of the 369th regiment, including the cadet band, attended the meeting in honor of Col. Hayward.

Wins $1,000 Offered by Philip G. Peabody of Boston Raises More Than the $9,000 Required to Meet His Gift The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, today announced that on the evening of March 10, the last day of the sixty-day drive for a $10,000 fund, it had received and had in hand the sum of $10,102.14, thus entitling the association to the $1,000 offered by Mr. Philip G. Peabody Boston, on the condition that $9,000 be raised in sixty days to meet his offer. In announcing the successful termination of the drive, James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., said: "Several large contributions came from white members of the association and from those interested in the work, among them Mr. Edward Lasker of New York, who gave $500; Mrs. J. E. Spingarn, who gave $1,000, and Mr. Louis Marshall, who gave $250. Very gratifying has been the general response on the part of colored people, both through branches of the N. A. A. C. P. and from individuals. A number of large contributions were made by colored people, among them Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, who sent $200 for the Independent Order of St. Luke and $50 as a personal contribution. The successful completion of this drive to complete the $10,000 fund begun by Mr. Peabody, is the best possible evidence that colored people are rallying to the organization which is fighting their battles on a national scale and that those who have are willing to support the fight for those who have not." Free the Houston Martyrs (From the Indianapolis Recorder, March 8, 1924.) President Coolidge has referred the huge petition of the N. A. A. C. P., containing more than 120,000 signers seeking the release of the. Houston martyrs now imprisoned in federal prison, Leavenworth, Kansas, to the War Department to review the cases of the men involved, is cause for gratification to all the race agencies that took part and co-operated in this effort in behalf of the men of the Twenty-fourth infantry. Let us not be deceived by this, though. It is a good move, we all agree, but we should keep right on after the release of the men who are now suffering for the prejudice of Texans who would humiliate and crush them, who are now fighting their release. Nothing should be left undone by the Negro race to gain the release of the Houston martyrs. If they are allowed to remain in prison, it will not only be a blot upon the American nation and the officials of the War Department, but also upon the race, if the race stands idly by and allows such cases as the Houston matter go unchallenged. Nothing less than an unconditional pardon could be desired or accepted. Write your senator and congressman at Washington and ask him to follow the case through to the end. Write the War Department and ask for immediate and careful review. That's your duty. Can you, and will you measure up? Colleges Teach Right Racial Attitudes Colleges Teach Right Racial Attitudes Many Give Courses in Race Relations—Texas Educators Formulate Austin, Texas, March 18, 1924.—Eighteen professors from thirteen of the big white colleges and universities of Texas met here some days ago to lay plans for promoting the study of race relations in the higher educational institutions of the state. It was found that such courses are now being given in a number of Texas colleges, and that they are popular with the students, well attended and gratifying in their results. The educators gathered here recommended that such courses be introduced if possible into all the colleges of the state, and that graduate students be encouraged to undertake special research in this field. A standing committee was appointed to promote these objects and to formulate a general program for such study. Steps were taken also to have the subject brought to the attention of the next state teachers meeting. The meeting here was called by the Commission on Interracial Co-operation, in connection with its effort to have the study of race relations introduced into all the colleges of the South. A meeting of educators from the Southeast is held annually at Blue Ridge, N. C., in the interest of this plan. Race relations classes are already being conducted in many of the big institutions, sometimes in voluntary groups, sometimes as part of the regular college curriculum. "If I Had You Down in Texas" MILLIONIARES WILL BOYCOTT O'NEIL'S PLAY (For Associated Negro Press.) A few nights ago, leaving New York City at 11:30 over the New York Central en route to Rochester, passengers in one of the Pullman cars were awakened by a controversy between another passenger and a Pullman porter. Some misunderstanding arose in connection with the handling of the passenger's baggage. The other passenger's attention was attracted to this discord by the loud speaking of the fellow-passenger who exclaimed to the porter at the top of his voice, "Shut up! If I had you down in Texas, I would swing you to a limb, cut off your ears and take them for a souvenir." Without any further discussion, it is clear to the reader as to the race and nationality of the passenger in question as well as the geographic boundry of his birth place. The Constitution of the twenty-first chronicle one of the most peculiar horrible murders that have ever been committed in any civilized community and especially as it seems to be a sequel to a criminal escapade covering a period of a year. A young man by the name of Frank McDowell, claiming to be directed by some invisible spirit and actuated by some divine impulse at the command of a "Jehovah," killed his father and mother while they slept on February 19, exactly one year after the date that his two sisters were burned to death in their bedrooms at Decatur, Ga. An untiring effort was made to connect the discharged maid (Negro) with the soaking with oil and setting on fire the mattress of the bed where these young women slept in Decatur. This woman was taken through the "third" degree and perhaps the "thirty-third degree" and made to testify that her husband set this room on fire that burned to death these girls. If this had occurred in many parts of this state, it would not be surprising if the husband of this discharged cook would not have been "down in Texas." Young McDowell, brother of the two unfortunate girls, now confesses that it was he instead of the discharged maid who planned the destruction of his sisters for the same spiritual reason that he murdered his mother and father while they slept in St. Petersburg, Fla., to which place they moved shortly after the death of the girls. It now appears before the testimony of some of the legal minds employed in an effort to fasten the guilt on one of four Negroes under suspicion as well as statements from the relatives of the family, that it was pretty generally conceded at that time that Frank knew something about the burning to death of his two sisters. I wonder what Frank would do if he had a Negro "down in Texas?" On the other hand, I wonder if Frank's father ever had a Negro "down in Texas?" I wonder if Frank's grandfather on either his father's or mother's side of the fence, ever had a Negro "Down in Texas?" In other words, I am afraid that some of the people who have Negroes "Down in Texas" do not realize what influence this may have on their children even down to the third or fourth generation, in the matter of twisting or warping their mental selves so that they become mentally depraved and thirsty for blood. Psychologist might give some interesting information on this ques- New York, March 13.—Otto Kahn, Mrs. Willard Straight and Eddie Meade, manager of professional boxers, are all lined up together in opposition to the Provincetown Players' attempt to produce a new play by Eugene O'Neil, "All God's Chillun Got Wings," which deals with the marriage of a white woman and a Negro. It is reported that Mrs. Straight and Kahn are threatening to withdraw their financial support from the Provincetown Players if they insist on producing the play. Meade objects to the play because one of the characters in it is portrayed as a boxer, but not as a gentleman. The players have expressed their determination to produce the play no matter who fails to support their efforts.

As important as it is to the Negroes who are the victims, it is of very much more importance to the white people—the victors, and their children to cease to have Negroes "down in Texas." Democrats Oppose Education (Lincoln News Service) Washington, March 18, 1924.—That the Sterling-Towner Bill, a Republican measure which provides for the creation of a Secretary of Education, to be a member of the President's Cabinet, will be bitterly opposed by the dominant wing of the Democratic party is a foregone conclusion, the first gun having been fired by Congressman St. George Tucker, a Virginia Democrat, who pretends to see in the enactment of this bill an invasion of the doctrine of "States' Rights" and the establishment of "mixed schools." When the Lincoln News Service recently called attention to this proposed legislation, it urged upon our colored educators throughout the country the advisability of studying the bill in order that they might intelligently support the measure, the passage of which will open up to our youth educational facilities now so generally denied them in certain sections of the country. Ignorant of, or purposely disregarding the benefits the South has received and is now receiving through the ap propriations made available by the Smith-Hughes and by the Smith-Lever acts, this Democratic congressman calmly questions the constitutional power of the Federal Government to appropriate money for school purposes, and stoutly maintains the position that the "Nationalization" of education can never be as effective in meeting the wants of the people in the various parts of the country, or in its efficiency, as that adopted by the people of the separate states. But his view of the educational requirements and efficiency in Virginia, for instance, is not shared by the thousands of interested educators most of the other and more progressive states was nothing but a tangled wilderness. It is largely due to these outstanding facts that Virginia Democratic efficiency of the Tucker brand does not appear strongly to the Republican members of Congress, who, in consideration of the future requirements of American citizenship, are trying to wipe out the curse of illiteracy by extending to all children in all states and without regard to race, color or creed, a system of education that will contribute to their usefulness as citizens of the Republic. The Republicans believe in the doctrine that nothing more essentially benefits our country than the proper instruction and direction of the minds of our youth, while the Democrats appear to cling to the idea that for the masses even an elementary education is a dangerous thing. Emphasizing this Democratic policy of educational retardation, and forgetting that it is difficult to hold the other fellow down unless you stay down with him, Congressman Tucker, during his speech of opposition to the bill said: "Only seventeen states of the forty-eight provide for separate schools for the whites and blacks. With the power to fix conditions upon which the money shall be spent, will not thirty-one states control seventeen in eliminating the separation of races in the schools? The seventeen states that demand a separation of the races have in the House of Representatives 152 members. The thirty-one states that make no such requirements have 283 members, leaving a majority of 131 from states that have no such requirements. In the Senate the proposition would be thirty-four to sixty-two. The preponderating influence would certainly be felt by the Secretary of Education. To allow our school systems of the South to be put in this dangerous position cannot be defended." The colored people of the South are not asking for "mixed schools," but they do want a fair distribution of the school funds, extended school terms, and compulsory school laws. ; NEWS2’GOSSIP of WASHINGTON ire a a ee i 1,000,000 Farmers “Going Into Business” But Congress Will Not Buy the Land No More Immigrants Till After June 30 Is Cooking for Her Fourth President VV business,” via the co-opera- tive marketing route, and to the* tune of $2,000,000,000. or more during 1923, according to latest fig- ures at the Department of Agricul- ture, where a survey of the co-opera- tlve associations is being made. This exact statement, coupled with B, F. Yoakum's project for an inter- state farm marketing —assoctatton, heading up at Washington, as de- scribed to President Coolidge, and the plans of the National Council of Co- operative Marketing Associdtions for thelr new headquarters to transfer from Chicago to Washington, gives promise that the “farm co-op” will soon become as well known about the capitol as the “farm bloc.” The “co-op” is a slang phrase which has been used for many years to designate the loosely knit associa- tions of farmers who make butter and cheese co-operatively, or bargain co-operatively for the sale of farm products, But In the last three years the Introduction of the Cnlifornia- contract plan, which guarantees the @elivery of the farmers’ entire crop to the association selling ugents, has worked a remarkable evolution In the marketing of most farm products and RGANIZATION of a commit- tee of five publie-spirited citizens to conduct a thor- ough study of the Southern Appalachian mountain range for the purpose of selecting the most typically acenic area as a national park has been begun by secretary of the In- terior Work.

Welch, general manager of the Palisades In- terstate park commission of New York, and Colonel Glenn Smith, of the geological survey, asking them to serve on the committee, The Council on National Parks, Forest, and Wild Life, with headquarters in New York, through its secretary, arrington Moore, was requested te name two other members, In those communtea- tions Secretary Work said: “as you know, there has been awakened a widespread interest In the East in the creation of additional na- tional parks and several bills have been introduced in the Sixty-elghth congress proposing the establishment of areas in several of the southern states us national parks. “Our national park system ts the finest in the world and in making any additions to it, sites should be chosen that will be in every respect up to the standard, dignity, and pres- O MORE tmmigrants, barring a few scattered handfuls, will be admitted to *the United States during the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, next, according to Information made public by the Department of Labor, All Europe, except for Seandinayin and France, with n sprinkling of a few score or hundreds of immigrants else- where, has exhausted “its quota for the current year.

Mrs, Mulvey was born in Sweden something more than fifty years ago. She has been cooking ever since ghe can remember, but she is extremely modest about It all. She realizes to the fullest extent the dignity of her position and las invested jt with a sort of sanctity that is entirely par- donable when you consider the per- sonages, American, foreign, whom she fas served. Her proudest moments the 1,000,000 co-operatives have nearly all been signed up ‘within the last three years. Erstwhile farmers, recently turned business men, attended In large num- hers the second annual convention of the National Council of Farmers’ Co- operative Marketing Associations, re- cently held here. Almost every co-operative who spoke described business aperations running well up into the millions and showed how thousands of producing farmers are Joining the moyement each month, In the expectation that “co-operation” will stabilize market prices, and eliminate most of the waste and losses that come from in- dividual shipments to a strange mar- ket, where the farmer has little or no representation in the dealing. “Co-operative marketing,” sald for- mer Governor Lowden of Tllinols, “is our new national business policy. ‘Thirty states and the federal govern- ment have passed laws establishing it. The Supreme court has approved these as constitutional.

I am confident that when such selection 1s made the vari- ous interests urging the creation of national parks can be centered in hav- ing the selected area acquired. AS there are no government-owned lands in the East, excepting those acquired under the Weeks act for the protec: tion of the headwaters of navigable streams and which are designated as national forest reservations, any area that might be selected probably would be privately owned, but little doubt exists, however, that when a suitable area Is selected It will be found that the owners, through patriotic motives, will donate at least part of the land for national park purposes to remain as a memorial to thelr generosity and interest in public affairs. In any event selection should be made and the property purchased when the ground Is cheap. “{ have in mind asking a committee of five public-spirited persons to un- dertake such a study and if you can devote the time this summer T would like to have you serve ‘as a member.” sons; the next, Germany, with 67,- 587, while Italy, with an annual quota of 42,057; Poland, with 30,077; Russia, with 24405; Sweden, with’ 20,042; Czechoslovakia, with 14,857, and Nor- way, with 12,202, follow in the order named. Buch of the remaining 36 nations affected has an annual quota of less than 10,000; seventeen have quotas of less than 1,000. Under the Labor department's rul- ings not more than one-fifth of a na- tion's annual quota may be admitted in any one month, Even with this check the annual race among steamers to reach New York In the early morn- ing hours of July 1 each year is participated in by from ten to twenty vessels, each Inden with immigrants. Before July the present law will be extended or a new law enacted. Pro- posals looking to a new Inw contain restrictions which would reduce. still further the number of udmissibles to 2 per cent of the nationalx numbered in the 1890 census, How effectually the bars will then be up is shown by the estimate that less than 200,000 persons would be admissible under such a law, as com- pared with 357,000 this year, 805,000 {n 1921 and 1,218,000 in 1914. come when some world-known celeb- rity Insists on making his way below stairs to tell her personally how good her food tasted. Mrs. Mulvey is main figure in a ro- mance of the White House, too, She was working hard on her job there when she met James Mulvey, a special policeman, who had been guarding presidents for 25 years. This was during the Taft administration, “You can't leave me,” Mrs. Taft pleaded in considerable apprehension when she heard the news. Accordingly Mrs. Mulvey fixed it up with James so she would keep her White Mouse position, and now the Mulvey family fs a completely happy one. Mr, and Mrs, Mulvey, own their own Uttle home far over in the north- east section of Washington, several miles from the White House, and Mrs. Mulvey rises at some unbeavenly hour each morning and starts by trolley for the scene of her day's activities and enjoys it. DEMOCRATS CAN'T PIGKTHELR MA ey: See ee eee fey eee te ee gaging occupatton to keep the minds of the Democratk in Washington from dwelling on the problem of the name of the man whom they should nom!- nate for the presidency, A first Une or two of an old household poem seems Just now to fit the case: “Which shall it be? I looked at John and John looked at me.” Certain it Is that the Republicans are haying trouble enough just at present, and naturally therefore they are not at all lachrymose over difii- culties which beset the Democracy. Senator Reed of Missourl $s engaged almost daily in rapping away at Wil- Mam G, McAdoo of California, while other candidates for the nomination, or at any rate thelr friends, are say- Ing not altogether pleasant things about one another, . This ts a condition which always exists In any party prior to a nattonal convention provided that party has more than one prominent candidate seeking first place recognition. The Democrats say {t will be nothing but a love feast after the convention. So far as the Republicans are concerned, they seem to feel that eveh with the outpourings of some of the brethren who are not enamoured of the Cool- {dge nomination {dea, all Hkewlse will be pleasant within their ranks after the convention has done Its work, Quandary of the Democrats, However, Democratic leadership in Washington 1s Ipterested seemingly to the worry point in the ease of who 1s to be who In the lending place in the campaign next summer, There are Osear W. Underwood, William G. McAdoo, James M. Cox, Alfred E. Smith, Samuel M. Ralston, John W. Davis and some others whose per- sonalities, policles and, If you will, persistencies, enter into the problem. General appearances are that con. servative Democrats generally would be satisfied with the nomination of Mr. Underwood, although, of course, conservatism looks kindly also oa James M. Cox of Ohio. There are reasons, however, why It Is possible that fear of policy complications may make the conservative strength exert Itself elsewhere In the fleld of eandl- dates, but, of course, this is only more or Jess guesswork. . Advoentes of the Woodrow Wilson plan for world peace would: like “fo see Mr. Cox nominated provided they thought he could get united Demo- cratic suppert—but can Mr. Cox get It? It 1s sald for him that he is the only Democratie candidate for the nomination who has had the courage to stand by the guns which he used, although to little purpose, In the cam- paign of nearly four years ago. One hears and hears and hears dally of Samuel M. Ralston of Indiana und his fair chance of success in the New York conyention next June. Probably the Indiunan does not like to be looked at as merely a dark horse in the mice. As a matter of truth, however, Mr. Ralston is keeping himself and his hopes, if he hus any, very much in the dark, that Is, in the modest retire ment of a stable of reticence. Prob- ably Mr, Ralston's chief regret today, Is that he wns not born some six years later than the cold record shows to be the case, However, a good many prophets say unflinchingly that Ralston is the man. Split on Wet and Dry Issue, One of the “Democracy's chief troubles is sald to be that one-half. the lenders, and this means presuin- ably one-half the followers, want a dry, and the other half of the leaders, and presumably the other half of the followers, want a wet. They can't have both a wet and a dry, and a compromise between’ wetness and dry- ness is one of the hardest things in the world to get. So far as this mat- ter is concerned Mr. Underwood's friends say he !s In the “best osition to gommand support. Smith, they as- sert, Is hopelessly soaked, while the garments of nny one’ on whom Mr. Bryan and his followers might look approvingly must be tinder dry Inside of a molsture-proof mackintosh: Out of the woods or from the plains somewhere there may come a conven- tion nominee whose name thus far has not been so much as mentioned. This has happened before. In 1896 “Silver Dick” Bland would have been nominated by the Democratic conven- tion In Chicago if the delegates had not been frightened away from his support by a rumor that a certain thing, not at all to Mr. Bland’s dis- credit, might war against the chances of his election, Then William Jennings Bryan made his speech and was given the crown which In a way proved to be one of thorns for him, and the rest Is history, Some of the Democrats here in Washinton belleva tat inva: way hie sional Record, There in print they will find in large numbers transcrip tlons of speeches made for politica) effect, Oh, yes!

It is something of a spectacte. Some of the leaders of the noml- nally dominant party In Washington are comforting themselves with the hope, which they say 1s based on be- lef, that the party members at a dis- tance from the capital are nothing like so troubled about the future fortunes of Republicanism as are thelr fellow party men here who are watehing the bolling of the troubled pot. Democratic leaders here likewise are comforting themselves with the hope, which they say 1s based on be- lief that their party members who are at a distance from the capital also.are not worrying because the names of high party men haye been brovght within the somewhat garish light of publicity shed by the oll lamp, Some men who bear the party Inbel of Republicanism and who hold office in congress are attacking the Repub- Heans Just as hard as the Democrats are attacking them, and some Demo- crats In congress are hammering away at other Democrats. It is a fine Donny- brook fair kind of exhibition all around. Third Party Is Expected. As nonpartisan observers here Pe at the matter, It may be that Repub- Ucanism in the country at large ts not particularly worried about the party's future fortunes, and It may be that things which have happened or seem to have happened will not prevent an easy course fi. the convention with the fixed certainty of the nomination of Calvin Coolidge, but nevertheless it is held that the charges of wrongdoing and the general susplelon of things that virtually are sure will bring: a third party into the field. Some time ago in Washington let- ters It was said that the formation of a third party seemed Inevitable. There is real conviction In Whshington to: day that such a thing fs to come about, and that unless the third party man| shfll be so manifestly redly radical as to drive all thinking and patriotic Americans to the support of the most conservative candidate in the fleld, irrespective of party, there will be no election at the polls and the matter of the chotce of the president will be thrown into the house of representa: tives, ‘There ts more polities than off In the Teapot Dome.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.25 Three Months ..... 7.5 DEVELOPING THE NEGRO BOY AMERICAN boys are pampered too much by indulgent parents, once declared a learned professor of the University of Colorado, in a lecture full of logic and striking conclusions. Crying as well as laughing is a necessary and valuable form of exercise in the development of youthful faculties, and parents make a mistake in seeking to have their children spared the one or avoid the other to the fullest natural extent. Punishment for youthful errors and the sting of healthful hardship are beneficial to boys who are later to assume the labors and responsibilities of the world, and the desire of fathers to save their boys from the rough experiences through which they themselves have passed is often the excuse for pampering which injures and unfits the youngster for the things he should do. This lesson has a special application to the colored boy, which is very little recognized. In spite of the generally crude domestic surroundings of the average Negro family, where the problem of daily sustenance allows little room for consideration of the finer development of the child, there is nevertheless the lurking memories of the master-driven lives of our forefathers, and the natural but spasmodic sternness of the parent in the endeavor to direct the upbringing of the child, is often tempered with over-indulgence or utterly spoiled with long periods of leniency or slothful neglect. No American child can have a harder row to hoe than that which falls to the lot of the average Negro boy, but he gets very little instruction or parental preparation at home of the kind needed to properly meet his coming trials. The fact that his conditions are to be hard makes it more necessary that the Negro boy should be made brave and hardy, but often he is not so. He is apt not to average up well in contact or in youthful conflict with the white boy. While every idea of the natural necessity of race conflict should be avoided carefully and consistently, Negro boys have no more excuse for cowardly conduct under any circumstances than white boys have. The writer recently saw three white boys, 8 to 10 years of age, meet on the street a colored boy as big as the largest white boy, and when the crowd of little white rough and readies made a show of chasing the colored boy, the latter took to the street yelling "mama" at the top of his voice. The three toughs were satisfied with the yelp of their frightened "inferior," and went their way busily discussing more important things. The colored youngster was a pampered coward. He was in no danger, but he screamed and ran at the first evidence of hostility. There are too many like him. It is a big mistake to raise colored boys in this way. They have not had enough lickings at home to make them indifferent to the dangers of the street. Their tear wells are full to overflowing because their mothers have made soft-hearted darlings of them. They are not as rough and ready as boys should be, and with the home coddling and indulgence of after years, they neglect passing opportunities, get false ideas of life and its conditions and fail to do what they should do for the rugged development of a race that must fight to win. PRACTICAL POLITICS THE POLITICAL game having started in true form and with much earnestness all over the country, a few timely hints, we think, are necessary for the guidance of our people so that they may not become the victims of either negligence to groom themselves for the part they play in the government or the mercenary role that is generally assigned to them resulting in their being the recipients of the smallest awards after victory is won. When we review the numerous complaints of lack of recognition at the hands of the great political parties, or recall the apologies offered from time to time for non-fulfillment of promises made to our people during the campaign, we are forced to conclude that a portion of the blame may be attached to our side because of our refusal to enter the game at the proper time and start right. Stop and reason a moment: In politics, as in business, as an individual or as a race, the Negro need expect no more favors other than his ability and industry demand. If he wants business he must go after it strenuously and wisely, staying with it until he gets it, and like other men will secure as much business as his merit, ability and capital call for and no more. The same is true in politics. He must begin at its very foundation, having a correct knowledge of the precincts, districts or wards in the city and the names and number of counties in the state. He should become acquainted with his precinct commitee man or woman, so that local matters can be adjusted with better satisfaction to all as the approach would be made through the right channel and in the quickest possible time. Interest in the caucus, primary and final elections should never be lacking, and one should be thoroughly conversant with every phase of the political game if he is to acquire political rewards for the part he plays. While it is true that at times we fall into the hands of bad or poor leadership not through our own choice, but the members of the other side adhering to the old idea, "that we are still children and need sponsors," yet the time has come when we can demonstrate beyond a doubt our ability to do for ourselves, being aware of the fact that the more we invest the more we hope to receive, and that man or woman to be our leader politically must qualify and that thoroughly, so that the help needed to advocate our political advancement would be forthcoming, and from a source or through an agency that will merit our entire confidence and win the respect of others. In Denver where there is no denial of the right to the exercise of the franchise, and where a voice, vote and representation mean something of great advantage, the Negro should resolve to stop whining about jobs and appointments, and with the resolution further to study that which makes him a very valuable asset in the government of himself by himself—politics, he should be strong in his determination to start right, (we say from the bottom) and earn the right to be respected and hold office. Says John T. Adams, chairman of the Republican Party National Committee—"It should be kept in mind that the work of getting good public officials is not all done on election day. It begins in the party primaries and conventions. It is the duty of every citizen who wishes good government to belong to a party and to participate in his party primaries. It is his duty to see that the candidates nominated are party men who represent the party principles and who are pledged to support the policies and co-operate with its organization." We heartily endorse the foregoing timely expression from an experienced politician who is so versed in the game as to be entrusted with the leadership of the great Republican party, and we are convinced that as long as our people are content to be an echo and not a voice, as long as they are satisfied to be a tool and not a vital factor in a free government, as long as they sit idly by while others go to caucuses and primaries, arrange the delegate lists, making the slate and naming the candidates, the more will they complain and the opportunity for choosing their own leaders will be lost to them, leaving them to be satisfied "with the crumbs that fall from their master's table." We therefore advise that the Negro in spite of his numerous little organizations that blossom and bloom at election time, then wither and die, should be on the precinct committee, should play an important part at the primaries and all other activities in which being vitally interested he would not be overlooked as a delegate, and then there would be no cause for complaint. We say again, wise and judicious leaders among us should not fail to instruct the people, as each being in preparation to meet the nation's needs in government can accomplish much for ourselves within ourselves and by ourselves, and the onlooker viewing with pleasure our determination to succeed, cannot but offer a commendation for our practical knowledge of the game, appreciating us for our contribution to the government physically, financially and politically. Better Homes in America Movement an Outstanding Form of Public Service By HERBERT HOOVER, Secretary of Commerce. THERE is danger that the shortage of homes which was occasioned by the great war, and the increasing drift to the cities, may deprive an increasingly large portion of our population of the inestimable values which lie in the true home. Through local organizations, however, it is possible to increase the amount of available housing. It is possible and desirable also to maintain and develop high standards, not only of safety, convenience and comfort, but also of privacy and beauty, which may be expressed in the house itself, its equipment and its surroundings. The amenities of our civilization should be accessible to all persons, whatever their income is or their occupation. High standards are consistent with economy and can be put within the reach of all. Our families are self-reliant; they have a strong creative instinct; they strive ever for something better, and ever to make the best use of what they have. Beyond having their homes decent and beautiful and healthful they want to make them attractive and beautiful, and they are eager in contriving to reduce household drudgery. Besides the will, they have the education and practical ingenuity needed to make the best use of the devices which modern civilization has placed at their disposal. On the other hand, with the passing of individual handicraft in making articles for the home, men and women find difficulty in making the best selection from the vast number and variety of articles and methods that are offered to them. A great need is apparent for well directed concerted efforts to work out a solution from the point of view of the family with a small income, that has to make both ends meet. The co-operation of the citizens of each community in better homes demonstrations has been found successful and agreed upon by leading organizations representing millions of men and women as a practical way of meeting this need, and of presenting the results of study to the public in a way that can readily be grasped. I therefore have no hesitation in urging such co-operation as an outstanding form of public service. From this movement there should develop steadiness of character, high ideals of family life, civic pride, and responsibility throughout our land. "Lenin Is Here No Longer. Is It Believable? Is It Imaginable?" By LEON TROTSKY, in Pravda Lenin is here no longer. Lenin is here no longer. These words hurl themselves upon our consciousness like a gigantic cliff falling into the sea. Is it believable? Is it imaginable? Is it comprehensible? The working people of the world will not be able to grasp it. For the enemy is still very powerful. Long is the road that we still have to go. Unfinished is the great work, the greatest to be mastered in the history of the world; for Lenin was more needed by the working class of the world than perhaps anyone else in the wide world, than perhaps anyone was ever needed in human history. Lenin is here no longer. But Leninism is here. The immortal part of Lenin, his teaching, his work, his method, his example—all these live in us, in that party that he created, in the first working class state, at whose head he stood. How are we to go ahead? With the lantern of Leninism in our hands! Shall we find the right road? Through our collective thought we shall find it. And the collective will of the party will help us in doing so. Your responsibility has increased. Be worthy of your teacher, of your leader! While we are overcome by sorrow, let us close our hearts and our ranks more tightly. Let us close them all for new battles! Comrades, brothers, Lenin is no longer among us. Farewell, Ilyitch! Farewell, leader! There Are No Higher Ideals Than Those of the Legal Profession By CHARLES E. HUGHES, Address to American Law Institute. There are no higher ideals in the community than those of the legal profession. We can never in the complexity of relations afford to lose the ideal of the independent lawyer, learned in the law, secure in his reputation for honorable conduct of his trust, loyal to his government no less than to his client. His loyalties never clash with the standards of honor. There always have been and always will be defections from these standards, but the standards themselves are not impaired, and those who are disloyal to them lose the highest reward that any lawyer can obtain, and that is the esteem of his professional brethren. But we are thinking tonight not of these old-fashioned and essential virtues, but of the less emphasized duty that the lawyer owes to the law itself—to contribute to its improvement, to its adequacy, to its certainty, to its appropriate exposition. In the great task this institute has assumed we are pledging our service to the highest of causes, as in perfecting the understanding and in facilitating the administration of the law we are buttressing the foundations of justice, which cannot be established by any arbitrary devices or by confiding the interests of liberty to an uncontrolled official discretion, but only through laws reasonable, understandable, and impartially and effectively administered. College Should Fit Itself to Field in Which It Can Become Strongest By DAVID KINLEY, President University of Illinois. The field of education demanded by the public in a country like ours, depends, in part, on the strength of the particular economic and social classes that want an education. In the days when only the leisure class could afford a higher education, they demanded that it be of a type which they regarded as suited to their purposes. Other classes have become strong enough in modern democracies to insist on a higher education for themselves. Hence we have had pressure for vocational education in all lines, for professional education for a growing number of professions, and here and there a demand for a general education, although the term has been variously defined. It is clear that no institution, and particularly no college with a limited endowment, can offer courses of study to meet all these demands. That college is wise, therefore, which fits itself to the field in which it can become strongest. It is wise, too, if it selects the field whose cultivation is, on the whole, most conducive to the general interests. In my opinion, it is wise in both these respects if it provides a curriculum of carefully selected and adjusted studies that will give that general training of body, mind, and heart which will make its graduates all-round products, as far as all-round human products can be made in four years.

THE COLORADO STATESMAN LABOR SHOULD BE FREE BACK COUNTRY PARTY W. F. Hall of 167 Columbine street, who has been quite sick for several weeks, is able to be out again. MEN'S CLUB HOLDS MEETIN Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, who was reported on the sick list last week, is still confined to his bed, though showing much improvement at this time. Mrs. Jessie Roy is numbered among the sick this week, at her home, 3032 Columbine street, and while some what improved, will be unable to be out for several days. Miss Alberta Hickman has returned to Greeley, Colo., to resume her studies in the Teacher's College, joining her sister, Florence, and the other Denver colony that are so prominent in the school life of Greeley. Oglesvie L. Lawson of the Radio Pharmacy, desires to extend an invitation to his friends to attend the annual exercises of the class in public speaking, of which he is a member, which will be held in the auditorium of the Manual Training High school Tuesday evening, March 25th. Fr. H. E. Rahming, rector of the Church of the Redeenser, who has been in the East for the last month, will return to the city in time to resume his duties at the church next Sunday. He will be accompanied by his mother, who had also been called to Rhode Island on a sad mission. One of the most sumptuous dinner parties of the season was the one which Mr. Frank Claughton gave a number of his friends on last Sunday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Isabelle R. Brown. Seated around a table of beautiful appointments which was laden with a twenty-pound turkey and all that goes with it, were Mr. and Mrs. Robert T. Roy, Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan R. Contee, Mr. and Mrs. Ledyard C. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Logan Brown, Mrs. H. L. McCain, Miss Claire Gilmore and the host. THE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION BUREAU, a corporation of St. Joseph, Mo., with William Haney as its vice president, is of more than ordinary service to any community, and specializes in the giving of information of "missing persons" and "unidentified dead," and the discovery of relatives and friends when strangers and travelers arrive in any city. The organization is also advantageous to the undertakers' business as it recovers many death claims, as well as former residences or locations of persons who may be a long distance from relatives end friends. Jesse Douglass of the Douglass Undertaking Co., has been appointed representative for Denver and vicinity. The Men's Thrift Club of the St. Stephen's Baptist Church offered a very commendable program to the public last Monday evening, when they presented a quartet of voices and two speakers. Miss Oma Brown and Miss Mabel Cole, leading choir members of Shorter Church, and Messrs. Brown and Hewetson-Watson of the New Hope Baptist Church, and the Episcopal Church of the Holy Redeemer, respectively, comprised the quartet with Mrs. Virgie Farrell, (nee Cole) as accompanist. A fairly large and appreciative audience expressed their delight by their applause to the singers who responded with encores, also to the very instructive and encouraging remarks of Mrs. William Gatewood and Mr. Jonathan Contee, popular and influential residents of the city. GAINES SYMPHONY CONCERT ORCHESTRA RENDERS RICH PROGRAM AT VESPER SERVICES The inclement weather of last Sunday did not keep a goodly crowd from attending the 5 o'clock vesper services at the Church of the Redeemer to hear an unusually fine program given by the Frank Gaines Concert Orchestra. The four numbers given by the orchestra members were all classics and showed each to be stars in their respective lines. The trombone solo, "The Rosary," by Eddie Caldwell, was of such distinctive merit as to call for special mention by the visiting rector from Greeley, who was the speaker of the day. MEN'S CLUB HOLDS MEETING Mr. Ira E. Lute, secretary of the Central Y. M. C. A., was the principal speaker at the regular monthly meeting of the Men's Club of the Church of the Redeemer Wednesday night, and his narrative of his recent travels through Europe proved of great interest to the large crowd assembled. The meeting was held at the residence of Mr. Octave Dishman, with Messrs. Mosely, Pittman and Oliver as assistant hosts. A lovely supper was served, following the interesting program, which was featured by a question box. Owing to the illness of Dr. Westbrook, vice president, James Adams presided and conducted the meeting with much dignity. F. S. RUTHERFORD, FORMER TENOR WITH ALMA GLUCK, TO SING AT VESPERS The high standard of programs rendered at the Church of the Redeemer vesper services will be further augmented Sunday when F. S. Rutherford, famed tenor of the Alma Gluck Company, will sing several selections. Mr. Rutherford's services were secured by W. W. Grant of St. John's Cathedral, and this, in addition to the Denver Harmony Quartette, will prove a stellar attraction. DR. E. W. MOORE LECTURES AT CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH Dr. E. W. Moore, noted Philadelphia preacher and platform orator, delivered a strong lecture on the "Emigration of Negroes From the South," at Central Baptist Church Monday night. A very large crowd attended the lecture and enjoyed an oratorical feast as well as historic treat. Dr. Moore, a former pastor of Zion Church of Denver, greeted many old-time friends and found many new ones ready to accord him a warm welcome. Don't fail to hear Clarence Cameron White, premier violinist, in recital, Monday, April 7, People's Presbyterian Church.

Mrs. Anderson is a charming hostess and the club greatly enjoyed the surprise arranged for them. PATROLMAN ACQUITTED FOR KILLING DENVER NEGRO Patrolman Roy Robinson, on trial in the West Side Court Tuesday before District Judge A. C. McChesney of Trinidad, for the murder of Julius P. Perkins, Negro, who was fatally shot by the patrolman on the night of Jan. 14, was found not guilty of murder, the verdict being returned by the jury at the direction of the court. Robinson, on the stand in his own behalf, testified that the Negro shot several times at him, wounding him in the back, and compelling the officer to return the fire, resulting in the colored man's death. Robinson's testimony was corroborated by all of the state's witnesses who took the stand. City Attorney Rice W. Means conducted the case for the accused.

SO THE PUBLIC MAY KNOW In some manner the colored citizens of Denver have been led to believe that the undersigned, S. E. Cary, was actively employed in the prosecution of the police officer who shot and killed Julius P. Perkins. I desire to state that I have neither been employed nor received any money from any source in connection with the incident resulting in the death of Mr. Perkins. I have, however, merely as a private citizen, without any reward or expectation of a reward, done all that I could to clear the name of Mr. Perkins, because I believe him to be a man and a good citizen and this incident has not changed my opinion. I desire to say further that in my judgment the N. A. A. C. P., through its officers, has in good faith done all possible for them to do in this matter. Signed, S. E. CARY, Attorney-at-Law, 2640 Welton St. Monday, April 7, Clarence Cameron White, renowned violinist, People's Presbyterian Church. ROBERT W.

At a mass meeting held in Shorter Church, March 2, the sum of $101.25 was taken up as a defense fund. Of this amount $30 was paid a trained nurse to look after Mr. Perkins the week prior to his death, and $12.65 was paid to the Court Stenographer for a transcript of the evidence taken at coroner's inquest.

Fire virtually destroyed the boys' dormitory at Western University in Kansas City, Kan., the largest Negro college in this part of the country, early Wednesday. The 102 students in the building were asleep when the night watchman discovered the blaze in a storage closet in the basement. The boys were roused and marched downstairs in orderly fashion. No one was injured. Many were wearing only their night clothing. The four-story building, part brick and part stone, is on twenty-seventh street, just north of the city limits of Kansas City, Kan. The brick half of the building was built in 1913; the remainder, of stone, was built in 1921. The loss is estimated at $80,000. The other buildings of the college, the girls' dormitory and the classrooms, were untoned. The distance from the city gave the fire a chance to gain good headway before the fire department arrived. There were no fire escapes on the building. The boys marched down the staircases. Those on the ground floor climbed out the windows. Most of the boys come from outside of the city, many from as far away as California. They are homeless and are being cared for in nearby houses. Most of them lost all their clothing. SENATE CONFIRMS NEGRO POLITICIAN AS CUSTOMS HEAD Washington, March 17.—Walter L.

The Cottage Gardener The Gardener Who Really Cares, and Who Is Depending Upon His Own Past Experience to Gain the Best Results—the First Vegetables and Flowers of the Season—Must Have a Good Coldframe to Harden Off His Plants. Do Not Overcrowd Your Young Plants Transplant From Flats to Larger Boxes or Roomy Flower Pots. Overcrowding, perhaps, is the greatest fault of the average gardener. Because the plants are small when they first appear above ground, he will not space them properly, because they look lonesome with an expanse of bare soil between them. However, they will grow fast, and at maturity will use all the space allowed them, and usually are growing into and over each other. This fault should be corrected when the transplanting is done, or if the seeds are sown in the open ground, by judicious thinning. Follow directions, which are always contained on seed packets as to proper distances, to the letter. Work with a tape measure or yardstick. The crop of many vegetables will be in proportion to the chance they have to develop. The bush lima bean is an excellent object lesson. Many gardeners have given up the bush lima as not being productive enough to justify its space. But give the individual bushes 18 inches apart, so they will have a chance, and there will be a bountiful crop with ordinarily good soil and moisture conditions. The rule to follow in transplanting seedlings is to move them as soon as the leaves touch. The first transplanting should be done when the first pair of true leaves appear. If they are not placed at sufficient distance, and often it is not convenient to do so at this time, because of lack of space indoors or in the hotbed, be prepared to move them when the developing leaves touch. If you do not, they will begin to spindle in the struggle to reach the sunlight. The percentage of loss is greater as the plants attain size, but early transplanting goes a long way to ob- WHEN SEEDLINGS ARE 2 INS. HIGH TRANSPLANT NOT CLOSER THAN 2 INS.

POT PLANT plate this loss by developing strong fibrous root systems especially in the case of plants which, undisturbed, form tap roots, or a long root that goes straight down some distance before giving off branches. When this long root has developed far the plant receives a severe check in being transplanted, from which it takes a long time to recover.—National Garden Bureau. SPRAYING TREES Spray fruit trees with arsenate of lead and bordeaux mixture first, as the buds swell; second, when the blossoms show their characteristic color; and third, as the last of the petals are falling. GARDEN TOOLS The first cost of garden tools is of minor consideration. The care they are given and the years of usefulness is the all important factor. PLANT SWEET PEAS EARLY Early and deep-planted sweet peas are likely to prove most satisfactory. A sponge's capacity to take up water is largely dependent upon the size of the holes in it. A coarse sponge with holes as wide in diameter as the finger and many of them, will not hold as much moisture in suspension as will a sponge of the same size with fine pores and smaller orifices. The soil acts as a sponge, holding moisture for the plants, and the finer the soil the more readily it holds moisture and the more moisture will it contain. Finely sifted and close packed, the tiny rootlet of the seedling comes in contact with its nourishment at once and starts rapid growth. If the soil is lumpy, with large interstices, a seed may send its first sprout SIFT THE EARTH TO BE USED IN STARTING SEEDS IN POTS OR FLATS. IT IS EASILY DONE AND WELL WORTH THE EFFORT SIFT THE EARTH TO BE USED IN STARTING SEEDS IN POTS OR FLATS. IT IS EASILY DONE AND WELL WORTH THE EFFORT. out into space until it can reach more closely packed earth. The fine soil draws moisture from the bottom upward by capillary attraction, and the finer it is the more readily the moisture is drawn through the surface and the soil evenly moistened. In coarse, lumpy soil the water is not drawn up regularly from below. For this reason it is necessary to take extra care to sift the soil for seed boxes, and for the top layer of the hotbed or coldframe. In order to prevent too rapid drying out, it is necessary to pack the fine soil firmly over the seeds. The coarse screenings from the soil are useful to spread over the bottom of the seed box to provide drainage. Over this the fine soil should be spread evenly and firmed down. The finer the soil and the more fertile it is the better the germination and quicker the growth of the little plants. A great deal of seed is wasted, and many attempts at sowing seeds indoors prove failures at the very start because the soil is not properly prepared. Next to this is the failure to provide suitable drainage. The seed box must be built so that the soil will retain moisture, but will not remain water soaked and sour. Overwatering promotes a fungous disease known as "damping off" which causes the seedlings to rot off at the surface of the soil. This fungus often will ruin a box of seedlings before the grower knows what is happening. It can be oblived by providing drainage at the start.—National Garden Bureau. PLANTS MUST BE FED Plants, like animals, must be fed. Their diet consists of organic matter derived from manure or decaying vegetation and from chemical fertilizers, especially nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash.

The growth in the known size of the universe which began when Galileo devised his small, low-powered telescope has just received another startling increment at the hands of the astronomers of the Harvard observatory. This time a new and distinct universe has been found, and its great distance adds a matter of 700,000 light years, or about four quintillions of miles, to the greatest known distance to anything in existence. Man still continues to diminish in relation to the general plan of things. The new universe is so far away that the rays of light which reach us after traveling through empty space at a rate that would carry them twelve times around the earth in one second have been journeying from the newly discovered universe to the photographic plate of the Mount Wilson telescope ever since the earliest known type of man, the apeman of Java, began evolving from his altogether simian ancestor nearly a million years ago. One cannot grasp its significance, even dimly. Stars have names, but so far astronomers have had to do without names for universes. "N. G. C. 6822" has been known for many years, but pictures of it made by the 100-inch reflecting telescope at Mount Wilson (Cal.) observatory have now resolved it into a complete universe of suns, like our own stellar universe of suns or "stars." Whether there are also planets or "worlds" cannot be said, because at these immense distances they would not be visible. In fact, "N. G. C. 6822" itself is wholly invisible to the naked eye. It lies in the constellation known as Sagittarius, the Archer, which is itself too close to the sun at this time of year to be visible. Visible from the southern hemisphere are the Megallanic clouds, which are now known to be stellar systems wholly separate from our own and from the Milky Way. In apparent magnitude "N, G, C. 6822" is very much smaller than the Magellanic clouds, but the great difference in size is only apparent, for it is vastly farther away. In other respects it is similar. It is a universe, distinct and isolated in space by distances which, when compared with those between the earth and other objects in our own universe, such, for instance, as the distance to the nearest fixed star (some 200,000 times as far as from the sun to the earth), are even then almost incomparable. The mind reels. It has been said that nothing so greatly influences to a belief in religion as the study of astronomy.—Outlook. California Cork Trees It is said that within the past decade cork culture has shown promise of becoming one of the important industries of California. A considerable acreage of Spanish cork oak is now in cultivation at the forest plantation owned by the University of California, and all of the trees are, it is said, thriving and growing vigorously. On the elder trees there is a good growth of young bark, some of it more than an inch in thickness. Most of the trees are now about seven years old and are from twenty-five to thirty feet in height and from eight to ten inches in diameter at the butts. This culture has been made in ordinary soil. Both the climate and soil seem very favorable to the growth of the Spanish cork oak. This is the first time that any attempt has been made to grow cork in California and the experiment seems to have been worth making. A Serious Case A notoriously absent-minded man was observed walking down the street with one foot continually in the gutter, the other on the pavement. A friend meeting him said: "Good evening. How are you?" "Well," replied the absent-minded one. "I thought I was very well, when I left home, but now I don't know what's the matter with me. I've been limping for the last half hour." Where Is Florence? An old colored woman came up to the ticket window at a big railway station and addressed the agent. "I wants a ticket fo' Florence," she said. The ticket agent spent some minutes turning over railway guides, apparently with no success, and then asked: "Where is Flarence?" "Settin' over dar on de bench," replied the colored woman.—Every body's Magazine. Diseased A young doctor said to the girl of his choice, "Do you know, dear, I have a heart affection for you?" "Have you had it lung?" she coyly inquired. "Oh, yes. I feel that I will liver troubled life without you," he fervently responded. "Then you had better asthma," she lisped softly. Faithless Lady—Why, have you no faith in self? Tramp—No, mum, I ain't. If you have faith in yourself, other folks won't. Don't expect other folks ter have in you what you ain't got yourself. INVESTIGATORS PROBE RICKARD INVESTIGATORS PROBE RICKARD FIGHT PROMOTER STARTLES IN QUISITORS BY TESTIMONY IN DAUGHERTY PROBE FILM EACTS ARE GIVEN RICKARD STATES THAT PROTECTION FOR EXHIBITION OF FIGHT FILMS WAS PROMISED Washington.—More reels of the famous fight film "deal" were run off before the Daugherty investigating committee by Tex Rickard, promoter, and Thomas G. Spellacy, a former department of justice agent. Their testimony partly corroborated and partly conflicted with previous stories told the committee. In his statement summing up the day's developments, Attorney General Daugherty declared that Rickard had "exonerated" him from failure to prosecute film exhibitions, and that Spellacy's testimony mainly was "hearsay." Rickard, in two lively hours on the stand, told of his part in the contract for widespread exhibition of the Dempsey-Carpentier fight films of 1921, but said he had been "bunked" by his associates, had made little money and had been twice fined for his part in the exhibition... Spellacy confirmed generally the statement of Gerald O. Holdridge, another former department of justice agent, regarding the story told them by Jap Muma and its involvement of Mr. Daugherty, Edward B. McLean, the Washington publisher, and others. He quoted Muma as saying Daugherty suggested that Muma should get a "cut" in the profits of the exhibitions, but disclaimed Holdridge's version, that the attorney general suggested a 50 per cent "cut." "I got bunked—that's all," was Rickard's only explanation of the promises of legislation when senators expressed amazement that he considered them seriously. "They did not do anything for us," he said, regarding Muma and his associates. "We got no protection and got nothing and they got their money without doing anything." The entire picture netted only $36,056. Rickard declared, challenging the testimony of Quimby that the profits were $125,000 and that $65,000 was paid to Orr, Martin and Muma. Presenting an auditor's statement, Rickard said Orr received $4,509.02 and Muma and Martin each $3,381. Pressed vigorously by senators, Rickard admitted knowledge that the film exhibitions outside of New Jersey were illegal, but said he did not personally participate in any transactions except those in New York and Illinois. Quimby shipped the other films, he said. Reference to the testimony of the witness was made in a statement from the Department of Justice. It follows: "In commenting upon the proceedings before the committee investigating the Department of Justice, the attorney general is glad to note that the testimony of Tex Rickard, the noted promoter, exonerates him in every way from any possible charge of favoritism or laxity in the enforcement of the law against shipping prize fight films in interstate commerce. He testified he immediately was arrested on the very first showing of the fight films in New York city and fined $1,000; that he was arrested in Chicago and fined $500 and costs for transporting the films to Illinois." Accused of Anti-Trust Violation Cleveland, O.—Conspiracy in restraining of trade and in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law was charged to the General Electric Company in a suit filed in Federal Court here by United States District Attorney A. E. Bernstein. The petition demands that a system of contracts existing between the General Electric Company and the several companies engaged in the distribution of lamps manufactured by the company be adjudged a violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. Dog Fails to Save Drowning Boy Peoria. Ill.—Faithful efforts of "Buddle," a pet fox terrior dog, failed to save the life of 4-year-old Hartzell Kellenberger of Peoria. The boy was drowned in a well. The dog plunged into the well after the boy had fallen and strove desperately to save him, clawing at him and tearing at his clothing in an effort to pull him from the water. The dog was later pulled out and was revived by artificial respiration. He had a broken leg. U. S.

DESSERTS THE FAMILY WILL LIKE When serving a heavy dinner with plenty of vegetables and a good main dish of meat, the dessert is much better to be light. The following recipes will be suggestive of many others equally as good. COFFEE Gelatin 1s called a protein saver, and when served with fruit in some form is an ideal dessert for warm weather or for a hearty dinner. There are so many forms of gelatin on the market that one may find the flavor agreeable; or many varieties of flavor. Grape Juice Sponge.—Soften one-fourth of a package of gelatin in one-fourth of a cupful of cold water and dissolve in half a cupful of hot grape juice; add two-thirds of a cupful of sugar, one-half cupful of cold grape juice and the juice of half a lemon. Stir over ice water until the mixture begins to thicken. Beat the whites of three eggs until light, then gradually beat the grape juice mixture into them. Continue to beat the mixture into firm, then dispose it a teaspoonful at a time in a mold lined with mashmallows cut in halves. Cut the other half of the lemon into slices and above each slice pipe some of the gelatin mixture. Use these to decorate the unmolded sponge when serving. Jellied Fruit Salad.—Soften two and one-half tablespoonfuls of gelatin in one-half cupful of water and dissolve in one cupful of boiling water; add two-thirds of a cupful of sugar, the juice of half a lemon, one cupful of pineapple juice and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Cool and when the mixture begins to thicken stir in six slices of pineapple cut into wedge-shaped pieces and two-thirds of a cupful of seeded Tokay grapes. Mold in a shallow pan, cut into eight pieces, serve on lettuce with dressing, sprinkled with nuts. "If you'd make life worth livin' Try these big things worth while; They're three—I'll sum 'em up ag'in— Jest love an' work an' smile." DINNER DISHES With a healthy body, a mind at ease, a simple dinner will always please. Timbales of Chicken.—Take one-half cupful of cream, the whites of four eggs, one-half table-spoonful of truffles finely chopped, two cupfuls of cooked white meat of chicken, with salt and pepper to taste. Chop Take one-half cupful of cream, the whites of four eggs, one-half tablespoonful of truffles finely chopped, two cupfuls of cooked white meat of chicken, with salt and pepper to taste. Chop the cooked white meat very fine and pound it to a smooth paste. Add the cream gradually, when well-mixed, season and add the truffles. Then add one at a time the unbeaten whites of two eggs, mixing the first with the paste until it has disappeared before adding the second. Beat the remaining whites to a stiff froth and stir them carefully into the mixture. Fill greased timbale molds half full of the mixture, place in a pan of water to the height of the mixture in the mold. Bake thirty minutes in a moderate oven. Serve with mushroom sauce. Hungarian Goulash.—Put three tablespoonfuls of fat fried from salt pork in a frying pan with a sliced peeled onion; cook until brown. Remove the onion and put in a pound of veal cut into small pieces. Stir and cook until the meat is seared and lightly browned, then place in a casserole. Add a plint of broth, a teaspoonful of paprika, put on the cover and bake. Brown in hot fat a dozen small potato balls and the same number of onions. As soon as the onions are well-browned add the vegetables to the casserole after the meat has cooked an hour. Season with salt and add two tablespoonfuls of flour mixed with cold water. Cook about two hours in all. Spanish Cream.—Dissolve one tablespoonful of gelatin in one-fourth of a cupful of water, then add to one-half cupful of scalded milk. Scald two cupfuls of milk in a double boiler, beat two eggs and add one-third of a cupful of sugar and one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt; gradually add the hot milk, return to the double boiler and cook until slightly thickened; add the gelatin mixture, the flavoring, and two egg whites beaten stiff, folded in lightly. Turn at once in a mold and the cream will settle into three layers. Serve with sugar and cream or sugared strawberries. Chicken Custard.-Beat the yolks of four, eggs until thick and stiff; add a little salt and beat into one cupful of cream. Heat a cupful of strong, well-seasoned chicken stock in a saucepan; add the beaten eggs and cream and cook carefully until the custard coats the spoon. Serve cold in small custard cups with a garnish of watercress. HEAT AND MOISTURE HARM CANNED GOODS THE SUPPLEMENTARY SUPPLIES Vegetables and Fruits in Storage in Clean, Dark, Dry Cellar. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Jeillies, jams, and home-canned fruits and vegetables should be kept in a clean, dry, cool closet or storeroom, preferably on narrow shelves so that the supply can be looked over easily and spoilage quickly detected. If canned goods must be stored in the kitchen cupboard, they should be placed on the lower shelves where they will be least exposed to heat and steam. Heat and excessive moisture tend to injure the texture and to favor the growth of molds on jellies and preserves that are not sealed in air-tight containers, says the United States Department of Agriculture, in describing how to care for various kinds of foods. The new Farmers' Bulletin, 1374, entitled "Care of Food in the Home," may be obtained as long as the supply lasts by applying to the United States Department of Agriculture. POISONED SIRUP GOOD FOR DESTROYING ANTS Greatest Precautions Should Be Used With Bait. [Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.] (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) An efficient remedy for household ants, according to the bureau of entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture, is slurp poisoned with arsenate of soda, if it can be used safely. The greatest precautions should be taken in preparing this slurp and in safeguarding it afterwards from human beings or domestic animals. Ants will carry the mixture to their nests, so that not only they, but the stay-at-homes are reached by the poison. The formula for the preparation of the poisoned slurp is as follows: One pound of sugar dissolved in a quart of water, to which should be added 125 grains of arsenate of soda. The mixture should be boiled and strained, and on cooling used on sponges. The addition of a small amount of honey is said to add to the attractiveness. The first step in the control of ants in the house is the removal of all attractive substances wherever practical. Ants like sweet, starchy food materials, especially cake, bread, sugar, preserves, sirups, and even meat. By cleaning up promptly all food crumbs scattered by children, keeping all shelves and corners clean, and storing food supplies in ant-proof glass or tin containers, or in tightly closed iceboxes, the ant nuisance may be largely limited. Daily supplies only of foods likely to attract ants should be purchased. Entomologists of the department have found that most of the repellents considered effective, such as camphor and naphthalene flakes or powdered moth balls, are of little benefit. If the nest of the ants can be located by following the workers back to their point of disappearance, a number of the ants in the nest may sometimes be reached by injecting a little disulphid of carbon, kerosene or gasoline into the opening by means of an oil can or small syringe. These substances are inflammable and should never be used near fire. If food and other conditions continue to attract ants and favor their continued breeding in the house, such control measures are of only temporary avail. The collection of ants by the use of attractive baits is frequently recommended, but unless the bait is polished as previously described, it is of doubtful benefit. Small sponges moistened with sweetened water will attract many ants. The sponges can be collected several times a day, and the ants swarming on them destroyed by immersion in hot water. The use of sponges moistened with borax and sugar dissolved in boiling water to poison the ants is also sometimes recommended, but has not been found effective. The distribution of sweet baits which do not actually kill the ants often results in increasing their numbers. When Used as Vegetable Celeriac Is Best Liked Celeriac is known also as "knot celery" or "turnip-rooted celery," the United States Department of Agriculture states. The roots, which are about the size of a white turnip, and not the stalks are eaten. They are more often used as a vegetable than as a salad. Prepare the celeriac by paring and then cutting it into thin, narrow slices or dice. Put into cold water. Drain from this water and drop into boiling water and boil thirty minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Make a white sauce with one tablespoonful of butter, one tablespoonful of flour, one-half teaspoonful of salt, and one cupful of milk. When smooth and well cooked add the celeriac. CUCUMBERS COOKED ARE QUITE SAVORY Tender and Delicious if Steamed in Colander. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Cucumbers are excellent as a cooked vegetable, suggests the United States Department of Agriculture, though many people do not know or use them in this form. To prepare them for cooking, peel them, cut lengthwise or crosswise or both, and scoop out the seeds. They are tender and delicious if steamed in a colander or steamer and served with a white sauce like sliced carrots or turnips, kohl-rabi, Jerusalem artichokes, or asparagus. Baked halves of cucumbers stuffed with fine bread crumbs from the center of the loaf which have been seasoned with salt, pepper, and onion juice, or a little chopped onion, are appreciated as much as stuffed eggplant, peppers or tomatoes. The cucumbers may be mashed after steaming or stewing in a very little water, seasoned with butter, salt and pepper, and served in the same way as yellow or white or hubbard squash. Lengthwise halves of peeled cucumber may be roiled in flour and fried A woman in a white apron is arranging a plate of sliced meat on a table. like eggplant. Sliced cucumbers may be sauted in butter in which a tablespoonful of chopped onion has been cooked till golden brown. In Switzerland, France and Hungary cucumbers are prepared and served in all these ways, which are worth trying by American housewives. Roach Nuisance Can Be Reduced by Cleanliness Roaches will not frequent rooms unless they find some valuable food material, says the United States Department of Agriculture. If such materials can be kept from the living rooms and offices, or scrupulous care is exercised, to see that no such material is placed in drawers where it can leave an attractive odor or fragments of food, the roach nuisance can be restricted. Thorough-going cleanliness will go a long way toward preventing serious annoyance. The most efficient remedies for the control of roaches are powders, particularly sodium fluorid, a liberal dusting of which about the premises will furnish a sufficient means for the elimination of the pest. The sodium fluorid should be blown into the crevices with a dust gun or blower. The immediate effect is to cause these insects to come out of their retreats and rush about more or less blindly, showing unmistakable signs of discomfort, to be followed in a few hours by their death.

A half-pound of marshmallows kept on hand for emergency dishes will be found a most valuable addition to the supplies. A WOMAN READING A BOOK A meringue with a few marshmallows cut in halves or quarters scattered over the top is much improved. Brown as usual and find a meringue with a flavor and appearance quite different from the ordinary. Marshmallow Frosting.—Put the unbeaten white of an egg, seven-eighths of a cupful of sugar, three tablespoonfuls of water in the double boiler. Have the water underneath rapidly boiling and with a Dover egg beater begin to beat; after seven minutes add twelve marshmallows, remove from the heat and beat until the mixture is smooth and cool enough to hold its shape. The flavor and appearance of many otherwise ordinary dishes is enhanced by a few marshmallows. Drop one on top of the cupful of cocoa when short of whipped cream or into a hot cup of coffee a marshmallow is an addition. An apple pie pleated with a baked shell, filled with strained apple sauce sweetened and flavored, then covered with marshmallows and browned in the oven makes a delicious dessert. Gingerbread or sponge cake cut while hot and filled with marshmallow filling placed in the oven until melted, makes another delicious dessert. Chocolate and cornstarch pudding are both improved by adding a handful of marshmallows. Chocolate pie covered with marshmallows instead of a meringue is especially nice. Fudge, cream candy, boiled frosting, stay creamy and moist much longer if a few marshmallows are added to them. Drop them into the hot mixture and beat as usual; if the marshmallows are fresh they will melt at once. Plain cookies, vanilla wafers, saltines or crackers are transformed into toothsome little cakes by topping with a marshmallow and browning in the oven. Mix marshmallows in the salad dressing, finely cut up and added with the whipped cream. It adds greatly to a fruit salad. If mixed with fresh fruit and allowed to stand several hours to soften, the flavor is much improved. A Lice dessert is a plain cake frosted with marshmallow frosting then covered with melted chocolate. fag, And not to murmur nor to lag— The test of greatness is the way One meets the Bear. Edmund J. Kane Cook. BREAKFAST DISHES A good dish of oatmeal is a breakfast in itself when properly cooked. Sonk it overnight and then early in the morning put it on to cook in a double boiler set deep in boiling water. Keep this water boiling for two oaked. Soak it overnight and then early in the morning put it on to cook in a double boiler set deep in boiling water, Keep this water boiling for two hours or more. Salt lightly, uncover and beat. When thus prepared and served with top milk, it is a vastly different dish from the cereal usually served as first course at the family table. Popovers.—Beat two eggs well, add seven-eighths of a cupful of milk and one cupful of sifted flour, one-half teaspoonful of salt. Beat well and bake in deep granite popover pans until puffed and brown. Another nice hot breakfast bread is: Oat and Cornmeal Muffins.—Melt two tablespoonfuls of shortening in one cupful of hot cooked oatmeal; and one teaspoonful of salt and one egg beaten light with three-fourths of a cupful of milk. Mix all thoroughly. Mix and sift together two cupfuls of cornmeal, four teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one-fourth of a cupful of sugar, and stir into the first mixture; bake in a hot oven in a well-greased muffin pan about twenty-five minutes. Scrapple.—This old-fashioned breakfast dish is always one which will be welcomed. Prepare a stew of meat—a combination of pork and beef is good. Cook until tender. Save the broth and chop the meat. Cook corneal mush using the broth for part of the liquid, adding salt and pepper to season. When well cooked and ready to mold stir in the chopped meat and turn into a mold which has been rinsed in cold water. Small bread pans make nice slices. Slice when cold and fry in butter until well browned on both sides. Tomato Toast.—Toast bread by browning in a dripping pan in the oven until hot. Butter well and pour over well-seasoned hot tomato. Tomato soup may be used if fresh or canned tomatoes are not at hand. Set in the oven until the tomato is all absorbed and serve very hot.
