LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY RACE ORGANIZATION TRICT OF COLUM SANDS OF D DEP Reliable Race Institutions Ge EMANCIPATION RACE ORGANIZATIONS IN THE DIS- TRICT OF COLUMBIA HAVE THOU- SANDS OF DOLLARS ON DEPOSIT Reliable Race Institutions Get Very Little of the Business By John H. Paynter, Historian DOCTOR LUDWIG B. BERNSTEIN, a Jewish social worker of Pittsburgh, in a recent address before the Urban eague of that city, emphasized the duty of Negroes themselves in the work for progress and uplift in their racial group. The address sparkled with wit, wisdom and sincerity and carried a resonant note of advice and sympathy from the representative of another group which in many ways has felt the sting of Anglo-American scorn and ostracism. Dr. Bernstein in the course of his remarks touched the real cause of the tardy acceptance of the Negro people on a plane of civic equality with other groups of citizens. He emphasized the contrast presented by the civic and economic status of his people through a series of pithy and significant questions and statements. "We carry our own burdens," said he "do you carry yours?" "What do you do actually for your dependent people?" Not what the Associated Charities and the numerous agencies organized and operated by white philanthropy are doing for you. share of muscle in everyday work of the enlarged opportunity only made available largement and multiply own self established erated institutions, in which the schools a which are now going find profitable and ployment. In the district here realized many social anomalies for which proportional citizens may be in great need. It is seen that while assured position in nancially, through a merial awakening, time finds himself in equal civic oppoage than at any time fifty years. In illustration of cade from 1880 to 1890 propriately be termed of Equality and B white citizens in the It is not difficult to realize the force of the lesson that is here taught, for the time is within the memory of many here present when the Jewish citizen was in but little better standing from a social and civil view point than the Negro. The difference lies in the fact that the Jew by intelligent organization; by wise and liberal expenditures and investments of funds subscribed from their own large wealth and a not too tender a conscience in the use of advantages growing out of a genius for commercialism, established a point of contact that carried its own recommendation. They made themselves economically desirable and maintained a scrupulous economic independence. The poor among them were given relief from money earned by Jews and contributed by Jews. Self-support and independence invited consideration and respect and in this way the Jew beat down the barriers of scornful prejudice and built himself into the very warp and woof of American industry and finance. Furthermore he is there to stay, for to dislodge him would probably bring as much destruction to the temple of American progress as the blind Samson inflicted upon the haughty Phillistines of old. It should be easy and natural for the Negro to profit by this lesson; to improve his system of contact with his dominant fellow citizens and in similar degree win for himself an assured and ever increasing economic and civil recognition and respect. It is indeed creditable that in every important center where the Negro is numerically strong, a long step in this direction has already been made. Industrially he is contributing a full VOL. XXX share of muscle in accomplishing the everyday work of the world and with enlarged opportunities which may be only made available through the enlargement and multiplication of his own self established and racially operated institutions, much of the brain which the schools are devolping and which are now going to waste, may find profitable and appropriate employment. In the district here there have been realized many social and economic anomalies for which the very large proportional citizenship of the Negro may be in great measure responsible. It is seen that while he is in a more assured position industrially and financially, through a remarkable commercial awakening, he at the same time finds himself now more lacking in equal civic opportunity and privilege than at any time during the last fifty years. In illustration of this point the decade from 1880 to 1890 may very appropriately be termed the Golden Age of Equality and Privilege for non-white citizens in the district. During this time there was no class of public utility, amusement or convenience that was absolutely race or color tight. The respectable appearing Negro was enabled to have his thirst or hunger appeased in the very center of the business district, or he might enjoy his soda phosphate or other brands of "mornings-mornings" at the most frequented drug store fountain or a popular down town bar. The choicest offerings of opera, tragedy or comedy were his to enjoy and the location of his seat was circumscribed principally by his own inclination or the size of his bank roll. In this connection, if one might restore the row of red brick dwellings where at one time James G. Blaine, Hamilton Fish and other notable men made their homes, on the south east corner of 15th and Eye which at a former day did duty as the famous Chamberlin Club, and recalling an afternoon in early spring, would stroll by on the Eye street side, he might see at one of the bay-window tables a U. S. senator, a member of the lower house, a U. S. minister, a former lieutenant governor, an assistant librarian of Congress and a messenger politician of the Treasury Department—the last four of the group being colored. They were congenially and convivially engaged in naming ingredients for a soothing syrup that was guaranteed to put sectionalism to sleep and that might be depended upon to knock old man Race Prejudice into the kind of a cocked-hat that might have tickled the fancy of the late President Woodrow Wilson. The contrast is in some ways both painful and misleading for in this year of 1924 there is no place in the State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ABLE PEOPLE'S PA ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, S down town district that a colored lady or gentleman (known as such) may enjoy a sandwich or a refreshing drink; that not one of the dozens of picture and play-houses desire or accept the patronage of colored folks and that all other avenues of trade and accommodation are similarly restrictive. Seemingly the wheels of progress have reversed themselves, but who shall say that being forced to establish his own industries and furnish his own facilities to satisfy the daily requirements of pleasure and business, is not the greatest blessing that has come to Negro citizens of the district since their emancipation sixty-two years ago. wholesome moral and financial port which insures substantial g and development. It would be invidious to name and institutions that have a worked a miracle in lifting the into a larger and more proeconomic life. The difficultie discouragements they have entered have been enormous. achievements are both creditable wonderful. The increased prestige and ence; the larger civic and com importance that would accrue through a more adequate m of both moral and financial s may easily be realized. The larger and more complete blessing is in the hands of the Negro himself and may be fully realized, if a broader, more intensive and an all inclusive forward racial movement may be built upon the business awakening of the past fifteen years. The inspiring shiboleth for this movement might very well be "Segregation and Discrimination the Stepping-stones to Independence" for as those manifestations of an unjust and illegal practice are responsible for the progress already made, it may reasonably be concluded that further advance will depend upon a more intensive application of the principle of a personal as well as racial self-dependance. Any number of wholesome examples of the effectiveness of such an attitude abound here at the Capital of the Nation. The more noticeable are furnished by residents of Jewish, Greek or Italian birth. We know that these groups, in all essentials foster and promote the efforts and interests whether business, civic or social, of its own particular clan or connection. With the Jew religion and race are both powerful cementing forces and with the Greek and Italian the tremendous incentive for an absorbing inter-racial helpfulness is found in the sacred ties of an alien brotherhood. There are more Negro residents of this district than are comprised in the combined population of these other three groups and yet from a civic, social or economic view-point the proportionate value of the former, in prestige and influence, is so much less than that of the others as to be practically non-existent. A notable exception to this general appraisement, however, should be made concerning the public school system, which though in many ways a paradox furnishes the nearest approach to that equality of status and consideration which should be fundamental with all municipal government. Doubtless our race churches should have place with this class of creditable exceptions. Church building and support is in some respects the leading industry of the race, albeit this achievement has been somewhat at the sacrifice of the great spiritual system, whose impelling motive was to build the Kingdom of God and His Christ into the lives and hearts of men. In many instances the enormous outlay for church property has been grossly in excess of the actual needs and represents in large measure the unscrupulous greed of speculative priests and laymen who have modernized the graft and thievery of the money-changers who were driven from the Temple by our Lord and Master. The lesson which this brief economic survey seems to teach is the effective value of intelligent racial solidarity and co-operation, and the tremendous importance of confidence in racial business men and institutions and that wholesome moral and financial support which insures substantial growth and development. It would be invidious to name men and institutions that have already worked a miracle in lifting the Negro into a larger and more promising economic life. The difficulties and discouragements they have encountered have been enormous. Their achievements are both creditable and wonderful. The increased prestige and influence; the larger civic and commercial importance that would accrue to the race through a more adequate measure of both moral and financial support may easily be realized. Could only one fourth of the hundreds of thousands of deposited savings be distributed among the several safe and dependable banking institutions of the race here in the District we venture to say, it would not be long before a notable improvement would be noticed along all lines of racial relationship. At this time these enormous deposits are held in sources from which few, if any, benefits flow to the race, but as can be shown, this, their own money, is used to finance building and other business enterprises in which Negroes are only admitted in a menial capacity or as customers restricted to the bare privilege of spending. It should be evident to the most careless that the philanthropy and patronage which has been generously allotted to the "man and brother" ever since Emancipation, has now almost reached the vanishing point. Our good white friends now consider and very justly so, that the Negro has already acquired considerable wealth which with his God-given brains make him both a menace and a challenge to that relationship of superior and inferior which was a corollary of the slave system of an earlier day. Considering these facts which every intelligent person must acknowledge, the conclusion may not be escaped that many of the Negro organizations of the District are absolute failures in so far as their support of racial efforts and enterprises are concerned. Standing at the head of the list through a traditional, sentimental and civic importance, which also suggests a larger measure of responsibility, is this Association of Oldest Inhabitants (Col.) of the Districts, with its funds distributed $92\%$ in white trust and savings institutions and a pitiful $8\%$ divided between two race banks, which are worthy and dependable in every respect, but which with the use of a respectable share of these wayward savings many of our financial problems might find a prompt and profitable solution. The situation is most regrettable and until modified in large degree and a more liberal support and patronage extended our financial concerns as well as our worthy racial enterprises, we may rest assured that the day of equity for the Negro in civic and commercial affairs is yet a long way off. "Great Black Cross" Warns Alabama Negroes to Move "Great Black Cross" Warns Alabama Negroes to Move Tuscaloosa, Ala., April 23.—Tacked to trees along the Hargrove road about seven miles from Tuscaloosa, for a space of about three miles, deputy sheriffs of Tuscaloosa county today found seven posters signed by the "Great Black Cross" and warning the Negro residents of the section that they must move. "We are worse than the Ku Klux Klan, so look out!" says the poster. Beneath the figure is the declaration, "We mean business. Every Negro must move." War Department Commutes Sentences of Seventeen Houston Martyrs N. A. A. C. P. Secretary Goes to Washington to See War Secretary Weeks New York, April 19.—Sentences of seventeen of the thirty-eight life-termers among the fifty-eight members of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, in whose behalf the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and other bodies recently presented a petition with 125,000 signatures to President Coolidge, have been commuted by the War Department, it was announced today. Press dispatches announce that "their sentences in most of the cases were cut to thirty years" from life imprisonment, making the men eligible for parole in from three to four years. BOULDER, COLO., NEWS Easter was fittingly celebrated in praise and thanksgiving that the Lord had risen. There was a surprise meeting at Panorama Park (about half way up Flag staff mountain.) A large crowd attended and had a joyful time for nearly an hour. It was a union meeting and everyone was welcome. The Easter program at the Baptist church was fine. Quite a large crowd attended and enjoyed the program. At Allen chapel the church was dee The national office of the N. A. A. C. P. immediately upon receipt of the news, telegraphed both to Warden W. I. Biddle of the Federal penitentiary at Leavenworth and to the War Department in Washington, asking for detailed information covering the cases of all the men of the Twenty-fourry Infantry whose cases had been reviewed by the military board and informing Secretary Weeks that the dispatch from Leavenworth "indicates a result bitterly disappointing to colored people of the country." James Weldon Johnson, N. A. A. C. P. secretary, is leaving for Washington to take up the matter directly with Secretary of War Weeks. Before leaving New York, Mr. Johnson said the N. A. A. C. P. would continue this fight until all the men were released from prison or dead. Gary Says Discrimination Against Any Other Nation Because of Color Is Unjust Gary Says Discrimination Against Any Other Nation Because of Color Is Unjust New York, April 19.—That neither America nor Japan wants war and that Congress should not pass laws discriminating against Japan on the basis of color, were views expressed Saturday by Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel corporation. For many years a warm admirer of Japan and her people, Judge Gary said he was deeply grieved at the attitude the Senate had assumed on the question of excluding Japanese from this country. His attitude against exclusion, he explained, did not single out the Japanese race. The United States should not discriminate against any other country or its citizens, race or color. "Of course, it is proper to seek and, if possible, secure mutual agreements with other nations for limiting the number of immigrants, and it is proper also to pass laws for the prevention of entrance to this country by citizens of other countries if they are disqualified or would exceed the number allotted by law to all foreign countries." He insisted, though, these laws to apply to all other nations alike. "But I fear," he added, "that some of the members of our Congress are disposed to go further and prevent entrance to the United States on the basis of race or color. This I deeply grieve." NO.28. Easter was fittingly celebrated in praise and thanksgiving that the Lord had risen. There was a surprise meeting at Panorama Park (about half way up Flagstaff mountain.) A large crowd attended and had a joyful time for nearly an hour. It was a union meeting and everyone was welcome. The Easter program at the Baptist church was fine. Quite a large crowd attended and enjoyed the program. At Allen chapel the church was decorated in appropriate form. The service in the afternoon was fine and also at night. Quite a large crowd attended. Mrs. A. Jenkins' husband, Mr. W. Jenkins, was a Boulder visitor Sunday. They attended the Allen chapel in the afternoon. Mr. Jenkins lives in Denver. We were very sorry to learn of Mr. Curtis Harris' death, of Denver. Mr. Harris was a very nice young man and was a credit to the race. Mr. Harris is well known in Boulder as an enterprising young business man. We sympathize. Mr. and Mrs. Randal, from Cheyenne, Wyo., were Boulder visitors Easter, Mr. Randal remaining in Boulder to the services while Mrs. Randal and sister, Miss Goldie Mosely, went to Denver for Easter. We are sorry to learn of Mrs. Oscar Moore's illness. We learn she is ill in bed with a nervous breakdown. We hope she soon recovers. There was a birthday surprise given on Mr. Frank Williams Monday night, after which Mr. Williams and sister left for Akron, Colo. Laying of Y.M.C.A.

M. 8091 It was an English humorist, Charles Dickens, who invented that supreme type of the laughing philosopher, Mark Tapley. Mark Tapley was a kind of Don Quixote of humor. He made it his business to seek out those most desperate situations, in which most people would find little enough to laugh at and pit his invinible gayety against their blackest gloom. The drearler the situation in which he found himself the higher his spirits would rise, and the only occasions on which he grew mournful were those which were not gloomy enough to afford a worthy background for his art, says Richard Le Gallienne in McNaught's Monthly. He was a priceless creation and he should be living at this hour, for the food for his mirth was surely never so mysteriously plentiful. How the European situation would make him rub his hands with delight! For, while on every hand the prophets of woe are vaticinating the direct happenings, he would contrive somehow to extract sunshine from the inky chaos and gild the storm clouds with rainbows. No more valuable human being could be born just now than a new Mark Tapley. The whole world cries out for him. For, while we could well do with a higher percentage of greatness in our statesmen, there is no one we need so much as a new great humorist, that once more the world may return to laughter. We have plenty of minor humorists both in England and America. I don't know how it is with France and Italy. From all accounts, laughter is not quite dead even in soviet Russia. But since Mark Twain there is no great world laughter, no humorist on a large international scale. Our humorists are all sectional. We have no humorist big enough to lash the gloom away with satire, to bring good humor back to the world and rouse it out of its doleful dumps. If you say that there is not much to laugh at, the spirit of Mark Tapley is ready with the retort that evidently then the more need for laughter. Silver and Gold The crescent of the little beach was like a silver bow. Far out over the glistening waters stretched the gleaming pathway of the moon. The tide was on the turn and each succeeding wave tossed glittering jewels nearer to our feet. The moon had lightly touched the sands and transformed them to grains of the purest silver; she had changed a prosaic row boat to a ship of dreams. Above us the depth of the inky sky was thickly inlaid with golden stars. Other stars, nearer the horizon, were caught and held by the sea as, huddled close together, they vainly strove to vie with their loftier brethren. The little ripples seemed to be sharing some delightful secret. We could hear them whispering together about it, and when they met and played among the rocks they chuckled gleefully. Who cares for the silver and gold of merchandise, with its clink and jangle? Richer far, is he that holds the memory of one precious hour when words were not spoken, but felt, when silence brooded, fraught with meaning, and the soft, sweet chuckles of the waves were the only voices. An hour all inwrought with nature's silver and gold. Queer Excuses Governor Ritchie said at a dinner in Baltimore: "France spends money lavishly, but won't pay her debts. Her excuses—well, they remind me of a story. "As a bankrupt broker sat in his dining room feasting on a 26-pound turkey one of his creditors called: 'Ah, George,' said the creditor, 'when a man can't pay his debts he oughtn't to be eating a magnificent turkey like that. 'I know it.' Thus the bankrupt regretfully excused himself as he sliced off a superb slice of breast. 'I know it, old fellow, but how could I afford to keep such a bird?' Why He Was Gloomy When Jones' rich grandmother passed away all his poverty-stricken friends rallied round him with words of cheer and comfort. But Jones remained sad and dejected. "She left a last will and testament, I suppose?" murmured Jenkins, carelessly. "Oh, yes," said Jones, "she left a will and testament." They waited expectantly, while sobs choked back his words. "I, he declared at last, "am to have the Testament." Seeing Things Opening a wine shop near the famous leaning tower of Pisa, a native struggled for several months and then suddenly pulled up stakes overnight, removing to a distant part of the city. An American friend ventured to inquire the cause of his hasty departure. The explanation was graphic. "Ze tourist, he came to my wine shop. He takes two drinks of my good wine, maybe three. He stroll out. He see zat leaning tower. He rush to ze notary and take ze pledge. I have to move."—Rehoboth Sunday Herald. A Stony Ancestor Josiah Quincy, of Boston, tells of how he was once identified by a laborer who was enlightening a friend. "That is Josiah Quincy," said the first laborer. "An' who is Josiah Quincy?" demanded the other. "Don't ye know who Josiah Quincy is?" demanded the first man; "I nlver saw sich ignorance. Why, he's the grandson of the statue out there in the yard." FOREIGN Great Britain is opposed to any further conferences of experts as a means toward inducing nonsignatory states to subscribe to the principles laid down in the Washington naval treaty. The Mexican embassy in Washington has announced receipt of advices from Mexico which said that with the occupation of the southeastern states "the rebellion started last December has come to an end, and the authority of the government re-established over the whole of the republic." A cable to the Nippu Jlju, a Honolulu Japanese newspaper, from Japan states: "Japan has a counter plan to the United States immigration bill, but it will not be executed at present." Ambassador Hanihara is returning to Tokio to report to the Japanese government and will not return to Washington for some time. Further litigation has been started in connection with the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb, according to the London Daily Express, which says a writ was served at Howard Carter's instance upon the directors of the British empire exhibition at Wemby for alleged violation of his copyrights through the erection of a model of the tomb as a sideshow on the exhibition grounds. After an absence of nearly six months from all participation in soviet affairs, Leon Trotzky, war minister, has re-entered public life with an energetic and aggressive spirit. He has addressed numerous political meetings at Tiflis, Baku, Kharkov and elsewhere, and he told of plans for physical development of the Red troops to enable them to combat the armies of bourgeois countries more effectively. Inhabitants of Batan island are menaced by the eruption of a volcano three miles northwest of San Bionisio valley, according to a wireless message received in Manila from the yacht Apo, on which Gov. Gen. Leonard Wood is inspecting the northern islands of the Philippine archipelago. The report describes the eruption as violent, with stones and ashes and devastating clouds of gases rolling down the mountainside and causing the adjacent country to look like "no man's land" in France during the World war. GENERAL Mourning over the death of her 10-day-old baby which was buried only a few hours before her capture in Jacksonville, Fla., Cella Cooney, New York's "bobbed hair bandit," confessed to taking part in fourteen robberies in that city, according to police, and said she was "glad it's all over." Miss Jane Cody Carlos, 14 years old, granddaughter of Col. William F. Cody, will unveil the bronze equestrian statue of "Buffalo Bill," at the Cody, Wyo., entrance to Yellowstone Park, the Buffalo Bill American Association has announced in New York City. The statue is the work of Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney. St Paul will be the concentration point for more than 2,000 high-grade cows which are to be placed in the hands of Montana farmers through the medium of the Montana Mutual Dairy Loan Association of Missoula, Mont. Purchase of a 160-acre farm, just north of the state fair grounds at St Paul for this purpose was announced a few days ago by Montie Levinson, general purchasing agent of the Montana concern. A hospital has no right to hold a human being because of an unpaid bill, Judge Joseph B. David of Chicago ruled in signing an order giving Mrs. Gertrude Nodine the custody of her 14-month-old baby. Judge David issued a writ ordering the removal of the child from the hospital and placing it in the hands of a temporary guardian when Mrs. Nodine charged that authorities of the Englewood hospital refused to turn the child over to her until a hospital bill of $195 had been paid. Insects and flies, rather than curses projected through the ages by monarchs of King Tut's era, and their priests and undertakers caused him to suffer much during the thirty-four years he has been delving into their ancient past, said Howard Carter, who "dug up" King Tut, on his arrival in New York City on the Berengaria. Dr. Charles W. Baker, a physician at Rossville, Tenn., a village thirty miles north of Memphis, was arrested by federal authorities on a warrant charging misuse of the mails in connection with the alleged collection of fraudulent claims from the Woodmen of the World, fraternal insurance organization with headquarters in Omaha, Neb. The deathbed wish of Mme. Eleanore Duse will be respected and her body will be buried in a little cemetery behind an old stone church at Asolo, near Venice, it was made known in Pittsburgh. The famous tragedienne's love affair with Gabrielle d'Annunzio bad Italy as its stage and members of her troupe here believed Duse wanted her mortal remains to rest amid the ruins of her castles of dreams. A woman, believed to be Brooklyn's bobbed-haired bandit, and a man who said he was her husband, were arrested at Jacksonville, Fla., by two New York detectives. The woman gave her name as Cecilia Cooney, and the man was booked as Edward Cooney. Formal denial that he had intended to "threaten" the United States when he told Secretary of State Hughes that "grave consequences" would follow the passage of the Japanese exclusion act in Congress, has been made by Masano Hapanhara, Japanese ambassador to the United States. AN EPITOME OF LATE LIVE NEWS CONDENSED RECORD OF THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS AT HOME AND ABROAD FROM ALL SOURCES SAYINGS, DOINGS, ACHIEVEMENTS, SUFFERINGS, HOPES AND FEARS OF MANKIND WESTERN Charles M. Hatfield, known as "the rainmaker," who signed a contract to make it rain at least one and one-quarter inches within an area seventy-five miles in diameter in the vicinity of Hanford, Calif., between March 15 and April 15, was given a check for $8,000 by farmers who engaged him. Police of San Francisco are seeking George F. Carr as a result of the startling story told by Miss Rose Fahey. She appeared at police headquarters and said that Carr, her brother-in-law, had abducted her six days ago in Seattle and forced her at the point of a gun to accompany him on the 1,200-mile ride to San Francisco. She was on the verge of collapse as a result of fright and exposure. California and Arizona, sovereign states of the Union, are in arms against each other over the cattle infection quarantine. Measures to prevent the spread of the foot and mouth disease from California into other parts of the United States have brought about an extraordinary situation where armed guards from each of these states are face to face on the border near Yuma, Ariz. The California State Supreme Court denied the appeal of Joseph Wagner, D.C. Russell and Joseph Vargo, convicted in Sacramento last August of violating the California criminal syndicalism act. The appellants contended the evidence was insufficient to convict and that witnesses testifying in behalf of the prosecution were prejudiced. Attorneys for the defense, however, conceded the men were members of the Industrial Workers of the World. J. Frank Norfleet, "Nemesis" of the Denver bunco pack, most of whom are now kenneded at the Colorado state penitentiary, may be reimbursed for his years of man-hunting to bring the pack to justice if a bill introduced in Congress by Representative Marvin Jones of Texas and backed by Representative William N. Vail of Denver goes through. The bill would give Norfleet $17,000 which he spent in chasing over the country rounding up the bunks. Since the beginning of the year 1924 there have been 4,758 cases of smallpox reported in California, says the weekly bulletin of the State Board of Health, issued in Sacramento. This means, the bulletin says, that during the first fifteen weeks of this year more cases of smallpox have been reported than have ever been reported during any single year, with the exception of the year 1921. Incomplete figures, according to the bulletin, show that seven deaths occurred out of the total number of cases reported. WASHINGTON The John D. Rockefeller Interests have contributed $27,000 to the American Society of University Women, to be used in promoting rural education, it was announced at the opening of the organization's third annual convention in Washington. The grant will be known as the "Laura Spelman Rockefeller fund," in memory of Mr. Rockefeller's wife, who died in 1915. Senate Democrats went on record for a cash and insurance bonus bill in a minority report of the finance committee made public by Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, although it was indicated on the floor the party would support the pending straight insurance bill "to assure enactment into law of a bonus measure." The report declared such a plan would cost the government about $1,000,000,000 less than the pending bill. President Coolidge announced in an address at the annual luncheon in New York City of the Associated Press that with firm establishment of a settlement of the German reparations question he would favor steps looking toward the calling of another world conference to consider further limitation of armaments and the codification of international law. Disclaiming any ability to announce a formula that would guarantee the peace of the world, the President declared there were, however, certain definite things which should be done to relieve the world "of much of the burden of military armaments and diminish the probability of military operations." The Interior Department announced the opening of about 341,000 acres of public land in Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Arizona and Nevada to homestead and desert entry. Official plats of the land surveyed are to be filed in local land offices, which later will announce the dates when the tracts will be available for entry. An extra appropriation of $1,500,000 to combat the foot and mouth disease in California was approved in the Senate. The House had previously acted favorably on the bill.

Mr. Fox is a graduate of the University of Michigan and is well known in Colorado educational circles. Grand Junction.—The American Refrigerator Transit Company has asked for bids for the construction of an ice manufacturing and cold storage plant in this city which will cost in the neighborhood of a quarter of a million dollars, work to begin this coming fall. This plant will have an ice production capacity of around 200 tons daily and will have storage room for 20,000 tons. Longmont.—A power plant to cost $60,000 is to be constructed by the city of Longmont, it was decided by the council, to serve as a "standby plant" to the municipally owned hydraulic plant. Bids are to be asked for on May 6. A 600-horsepower Diesel-type oil engine and a plant capable of producing 350 kilowatts is planned. The capacity of the plant will be but 120 kilowatts less than the hydraulic plant. Denver.—Orders for approximately $1,000,000 worth of steel rails, frogs, switches and other steel have been placed by the Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad with the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company and the Elliott Frog and Switch Company, according to announcement by Receiver T. H. Beaom. The steel is to be used in carrying out the rehabilitation program announced by the receiver some time ago and approved by Federal District Judge Symes. Denver.—Inheritance tax collections for the first two weeks of April amounted to $228,783.55—the largest for a similar period in many years—according to the report of Commissioner George Hetherington. The total collections for the biennial period are $1,236,803.30. The unusually large collections are the result of a partial payment of $100,000 by the Charles M. MacNeill estate of El Paso county, and a partial payment of $110,000 by the Dennis Sheedy estate of Denver. Thirty estates paid taxes. Pueblo.—John Bargfrede, a dairy hand, was held by a coroner's jury here for the slaying of Judge John H. H. Low, prominent attorney and jurist, who was shot to death in his office in the Thatcher building. The jury's verdict charged that Judge Low came to his death from bullet wounds inflicted by Bargfrede with felonious intent. Lamar.—Voiture Locale, No. 159, La Societe Des 40 Hommes at 8 Chevaux, held a session at the Elks home in this city recently and fifteen candidates were initiated into the order. This is the first chapter that the American Legion has organized at Lamar. Members of the voitures at La Junta, Las Animas and Fort Lyon attended the session. Meeker.—A grand jury investigating alleged acts of lawlessness and riot here, last February, at which time it was charged by the Rev. D. A.

Fort Collins.—Word was received here a few days ago of the filing of a $5,560 suit of attachment against funds of the Colorado Potato Growers' Association in possession of the Weyl Zuckerman Company, marketing agent of the association. The suit was brought by Aaron Sapiro, active in Colorado last year in organizing the association. Sapiro also filed suit for $3,389 against the Idaho Potato Growers' Association. The suits charge that the Colorado and Idaho associations owe him for services as organizer. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS Denver.—Detailed plans for the proposed construction of a new railroad from Denver to Los Angeles by Pacific coast promoters, which provide for purchase of the Moffat road as the first unit of the proposed line have been received in Denver. Plans for the road announced in Los Angeles, however, met emphatic denial as far as the Moffat road is concerned by W. R. Freeman, receiver. The Los Angeles promoters, according to Los Angeles newspaper publications, declared they hold an option for purchase of the road at a price of 32 cents on the dollar. De Beque.-The Colorado oil shale industry is on the verge of a great development which will come suddenly and without preliminary flourish. This is shown by the recent largest autonomous oil shale deal thus far accomplished in Colorado and the announcement that the 100-ten Ginet retort of the Monarch Oil Shale Company will "blow in" about the middle of May. A record for transfers of oil shale land was made when 12,000 acres of choice shale acreage, known as the S. O. S. tract, located on Clear Creek in the DeBeque district and cut by the Denver & Rito Grande Western railroad, was acquired under option by D. D. Potter, R. P. Ralston and Maj. G. R. DeBeque. Florence.—The Kit Carson rock, a slab of sandstone on which the famous scout and Indian fighter had carved his name, has been lifted from its bed on Hardscrabble creek, just south of here, and stolen by some vandal. This rock, which is a well-known relic of pioneer days, was within the boundaries of the San Isabel National forest, and this spring was to have been moved to a point near the main highway by the San Isabel Public Recreation Association and the Florence Chamber of Commerce co-operating. Telluride.—Representatives of western slope chambers of commerce and county commissioners here agreed to raise a fund of $10,000 for the joint advertising and publicity of the western slope. Illustrated booklets will be issued and distributed. Ten or twelve counties are to co-operate in the gigantic undertaking to advertise Mesa Verde, the San Juan, Ouray, Black canon, radium land, Grand mesa and other natural attractions, as well as the agricultural, mining and recreational features. Craig.—With trains running regularly on the Moffat road, the rush into Craig of oil well materials has begun. Now that the roads in the Craig field are drying out, these materials are being hauled out to many locations preparatory to a summer of active drilling in the district. Twenty companies have rigs ready to be set up, with the promise that drilling will begin as soon as the weather permits. The belief prevails that by June 1 there will be drilling under way on twenty holes. Leadville.—The Stearns-Rogers Engineering Company, one of the instigators and financial backers of the proposed $1,500,000 foundry and machinery plant located at Englewood, Colo., has conferred upon the Leadville mining district an up-to-date mining plant for gold-copper ores, which also carry fair values in silver, lead and zinc. Fountain.—Watson D. Shaw, president of the Bank of Fountain, was shot and killed at his home on the George Stinson ranch by Henry Hill, an employee of twenty-five years standing, after the banker is said to have attacked Hill and Shaw's wife with a flatiron while in a state of murderous insanity. Trinidad.—Jullus Cibello, of Starkville, was killed instantly when he clutched a loose telephone wire which had been charged by contact with a high-tension electric wire. Efforts to resuscitate him failed. The boy was the son of Antonio Cibello, a coal miner of Starkville. Loveland.—The last chapter in a twelve-year struggle of the city of Loveland against the Western Light and Power Company, later absorbed by the Public Service Company of Colorado, has been written. The city has decided to ignore the hearing completed last Thursday before the Public Utilities Commission and has begun active work on the construction of a hydro-electric plant at a contract price of $371,685.14. Pueblo.—Mrs. J. M. Majors of Trinidad was elected president of the southeast district of the Colorado Federation of Women's Clubs, in convention here. Other officers elected are Mrs. W. F. Rich and Mrs. Juan Rayner, Pueblo, first and second vice presidents; Mrs. Edwin Haver, Pueblo, secretary; Mrs. Juan McCallum, Florence, treasurer. Canon City.—Mrs. Minnie Dickey must stand trial for homicide for the death of her husband, James Allen Dickey, whose body with a bullet in his brain, was found in his automobile at the side of the Canon City-Colorado Springs road near here, it was announced after a coroner's jury had returned its verdict. Denver.—Consolidation of half a dozen long dormant railroad enterprises in Colorado, Utah, Arizona and California, with a view to opening a new line between Los Angeles and Denver is the subject of conferences under way in Los Angeles, according to the Los Angeles Times. The proposed new road, says the Times, will be called the Colorado-Utah-Pacific railway. The promoters of the project have not yet incorporated and do not plan to offer any stock to the public, but have opened offices in Los Angeles, Salt Lake and Denver. PETER H. T. G.

We have just passed through the severity of lenten observance into the bright, hopeful spirit of Eastertide with its many promises of new life and a glorious resurrection. It was all for man; and yet the ages ask of the Almighty, "What is man that Thou are mindful of him or the Son of man that Thou visitest Him." Near the close of the lenten season a remarkable gathering of men was held in one of our Denver homes. There were present men of all denominational learnings, some with no church affiliations whatever. Yet it was an earnest, determined body of men eagerly inclined toward a careful study of the worthwhile things of life. Splendid talks on the meaning and significance of Lent, of Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and Easter, featured the meeting. It was a voluntary gathering, not a preemptory summons from any definite source or authority. We venture the opinion that no such meeting of men, under similar circumstances was ever before held in Denver. Ecclesiastical gatherings are frequent and germane to the season; men of the cloth are presumed to assemble during such a period; but a meeting of men, under no spell or influence other than to be of service in the general uplift of a community, a gathering of men eager to "know then thyself" is certainly full of significance and bids us on to finer endeavor and greater personal sacrifice. Then again on Easter morn another evidence that we are bent upon a better mission in life aside from our own immediate happiness came from a club of "13" young men of Denver. Flowers beautifully symbolize the glory of Easter in a strange and fascinating way and these young men of "13," without ostentation and wholly unannounced, went from church to church Easter morning leaving fragrant flowers, living plants in fact, as their prayer and benediction. It was a worthy thing, a splendid mission, betokening a native virtue in the hearts of men, certain to bring infinite blessings of untold worth. Follow the incident to its logical conclusion and the only possible answer is that our young men are exemplifications of the lessons taught by Him whose resurrection was sung wherever human tongues abide that "Whatsoever ye do unto the very least of these, is done in His name." In close relation to these acts came another manifestation of our growing charity and Christian following; when one of our public men was borne to his last resting place on Tuesday last. The lines of rivalry in business melted away and the anguish of the hour soothed by the presence of representatives from each of the other undertaking firms, doing a handsome and full part to pay the last measure of respect to one of their fallen co-workers. Thus in life and in death, we have been given abundant evidence that in the aggregate, the heart of man beats in mighty unison for a common cause and in response to the firm touch of humanity. We repeat that the world cannot go far amiss, our civilization will not stray a great way from the path of righteousness and honor as long as we can assemble upon a high plane in a holy hour, for a holy cause and in a holier manifestation that "man liveth not by bread alone." DUTY AND RESPONSIBILITY AS WELL AS RIGHTS We hear so much about the acquisition of "our rights," coming from so many different quarters, emanating from unintelligible minds and uttered by many incoherent tongues that at times we weary of their tom-tom resoundings. The question of fundamental human rights is always a valid one and no race or nation could be excused for a moment in a relaxation of vigilance. But a contention for human rights without a corresponding comprehension of the duties and responsibilities that go hand in hand with their acquisition is worse than tragic. On another page of this issue of the COLORADO STATESMAN appears an excellently written article by a former citizen of Denver that should be read with a vast deal of interest and understanding. The story is not new. We have heard it before, but our correspondent has placed this delicious old wine of ancient vintage into such new, crystal bottles as to render it doubly seaosnable and palatable. We commend a full, deep draught of it to many who in season and out, cry for "our rights." He draws a striking lesson from the recognized status of the Jewish citizens in the United States as compared with a few years ago. He points out that time was when the Jewish citizen was in but little better standing from a social and civil viewpoint than the Negro. He further avers that "the difference lies in the fact that the Jew by intelligent organization; by wise and liberal expenditures and investment of funds, subscribed from their own large wealth—established a point of contact that carried its own recommendation." The inspiration for this timely article was gained by listening to a lecture of a note Jewish social worker before the Urban League of Pittsburgh, Pa., recently. In speaking to our group he was commendably frank. The occasion and the hour demanded it. He neither shrank from an apparent duty nor the responsibility involved, and at an impassioned moment of his address shouted, "We carry our own burdens, do you carry yours?" The declaration and the query is almost a rebuke, perhaps just and deserved. There can be no doubt that the tightening-bands of proscription and discrimination is placing more and more a very heavy responsibility upon the shoulders of the American Negro. The days of voluntary charity and philanthropy have disappeared for all time. It is our due to shift and go for ourselves. The situation cannot be successfully met simply by a constantly plaintive cry about "our rights." Intelligent organization, racial solidarity, unselfish leadership and confidence in that leadership will go a long way toward establishing a more secure status for us nationally and otherwise. Organization is a certain source of power, but to be simply cognizant of power, without intelligent use of it, means little or nothing to a people. In strenuous campaign times we boast of our political strength and power, but it is most invariably used for furtherance of the white man's ambitions and purposes. Negro power for Negro upbuilding is little thought of. We boast of our property holdings and financial gains year by year, but is there an appreciable increase of business enterprises and financial institutions within our ranks? It has been many years since the Negro has had representation in Congress and in but few states do we have legislative representation. But every two years, with astounding regularity we use "our rights" and "power" to vote the white man into office, when a solemn impress of duty and responsibility would suggest a racial cohesion wherein we could have our own representatives in many places. The misuse of our power, this misconception of our rights is local as well as national. We are not looking to distant points with far reaching glasses, when Denver and Colorado stand so guiltily before the bar. There is a possibility that some momentous questions may be up for consideration before the electorate of Colorado this fall that may have a distinct and mayhap disastrous effect upon our future. Let us say no more about our rights if we do not properly equip ourselves for the imperative duty of voting and registering our own sentiments at the ballot box as full grown American citizens. SENATE PASSES BONUS MEASURE The Greater Hope of Living in a World Completely Organized for Service By WILLIAM E. SWEET, Governor of Colorado. THE thing that interests me is that greed defeats itself. As a social principle it doesn't work; and to call greed individualism won't make it work any better. Let the farmers and the workers VOTE OF 67 TO 17 ASSURES PAS SAGE OVER PRESIDEN- TIAL VETO try to operate on that principle and they will make as big a failure as anybody. At least, they couldn't make a big enough success to enlist much human enthusiasm in the cause. The so-called beneficiaries of our acquisitive society have not been successful. They are half blind and only half alive, narrow, suspicious and full of fears. They put their trust in property, and property is no decent haven for a human soul. There is much more hope for the workers and the farmers, for they haven't so much property to blind them. CASH OPTION OMITTED MONEY PROVISION LEFT OUT OF SOLDIERS' INSURANCE BILL BY SENATE To be sure, they have been blinded to a great extent in the past; for each person in America has hoped some day to win a competence and live without working ever after. But that hope seems to be passing, thank God. They are now beginning to perceive the greater hope of living in a world completely organized for service. That is the Farmer-Labor program as it must be worked out. The government may help a little, but such a program cannot be imposed upon a people by the government. It must be worked out by the people themselves. Washington.—The Senate, following in the footsteps of the House, passed the soldiers' bonus insurance bill by a majority sufficient to carry it over a presidential veto. The vote was 67 to 17. President Coolidgs has declared against a bonus, but proponents of this particular kind of adjusted compensation legislation are hopeful that it will meet with his approval. Before the bill reaches him, however, it must go to conference for adjustment of minor differences from the House. Assured by Republican leaders that they would vote to override a veto of this bill, but would support a veto of a cash bonus measure, the Senate resisted all efforts to add a cash option. The Kingdom of Heaven is within the people. We have Jesus' own words for that. The new order must come out of them; it can't descend upon them from the clouds or from the state. The best that the state can hope to do is to serve the interests of this new order as fast as those interests can be ascertained. Heretofore the state has lined up on the side of property instead of on the side of human life. But the capitalistic state did not create property; it grew out of it. The new state cannot create the new order; it must grow out of it, to serve its purposes, day by day, as those purposes may be ascertained. The test on this question came with the rejection, 48 to 37, of an amendment by Senator Copeland, Democrat, New York, which would have left with the former service men the choice of full cash payments or the insurance certificates provided for in both the Senate and House bills. "Bogey Man Is Waiting Just Around the Corner to Eat Naughty Boys" By DR. H. E. BUNDESEN. Chicago Health Commissioner. Of all the instincts to which human beings are heir fear is one of the most common, most compelling, and most disturbing in its results, both mentally and physically. Many Democratic senators who voted for the measure in its present form denounced it as a "miserable makeshift" and a "gold brick" and formal notice was given that at some future time efforts would be made to amend it so as to enable the veterans to get cash. Despite its distressing effects, fear is a weapon commonly invoked by ignorant parents to obtain obedience from their children and to make them behave. The fretful child, demanding something that is not good for him or that he should not have, is told the "bogey man" is waiting just around the corner to eat naughty boys who ask for such things. On the final vote on the bill, nine Democrats and eight Republicans opposed it, while thirty-three Republicans, thirty-two Democrats and the two Farmer-Labor senators supported it. Though the child is terrorized, his crying is hushed and the parent has "some peace." Many parents do not realize the evil consequences of fear repressed, nor do they suspect they are laying a groundwork for later nervous disturbances far more sinister than could be produced by a moment's crying. There is no difference between the Senate and House on the main features of the bill; each has approved the major provisions, which are: It is generally accepted among modern students of psychology that stories about ghosts, goblins and the like, who are supposed to live in the dark and prey upon little children, create a vivid, lasting and harmful impression upon the minds of the young. The practice of telling terrorizing stories to make them mind is all wrong. Cash payments to veterans whose adjusted compensation would not exceed $50. Twenty-year endowment insurance policies based on adjusted service pay at the rate of $1 a day for domestic service and $1.25 a day for overseas service. It Is Because We Are Aware of Sex That We Wish to Understand It Provision is made in the insurance feature under which the veteran after a period of two years from the date of the issue of his certificate could obtain loans from banks up to 90 per cent, of the current cash value of the certificate. By PROF. JOHN ERSKINE, Columbia University. I explain the large amount of recent literature dealing with sex by this conviction of our time that we ought to understand ourselves and our passions. But very little of this literature seems to me to have much value either for life or for art. The novelists who exploit sex usually fail to explain it; they really exploit the physical aspects of it as though it were a new discovery and needed advertising. The more important amendments written into the house bill by the Senate were: That cash payments be made available immediately, instead of after nine months from the date of the enactment of the measure. Of course it is just because we are all aware of sex, as an external aspect of life, that we wish to understand it, to live on better terms with it. The books, therefore, which merely record sexual attitude, whether or not they are considered indecent, become pretty tiresome to a reader who wants to get on in his knowledge of human nature. That the insurance certificates would issue after July 1, 1925, instead of after January 1, 1925. That veterans should be relieved of paying compound interest to the treasury department upon redemption of certificates which had been allowed to lapse as security for bank loans. And these books also offend, for the most part, the finer sensibilities of men, what may fairly be called their poetic sensibilities. They are willing to admit, like the centaur-poet in the novel, that we are half-animal at least, but they know by experience that in moments of love we are also half-ged and no discussion of this twofold nature of ours will satisfy which examines only the animal in us. Placing entire control of the administration of the act under the director of the veterans' bureau instead of under the secretary of war and secretary of the navy. Eliminating employees of the public health service from the benefits of the bill. Coffee the Servant Rather Than the Destroyer of Our Civilization Making the legislation applicable to female yeomen of the navy, female marines, the Philippine scouts and the Porto Rico regiment of infantry. By PROF. S. C. PRESCOTT, Mass. Inst. Technology. After weighing the evidence, a dispassionate evaluation of the data so comprehensively surveyed has led to no conclusions that coffee is an injurious beverage for the great mass of human beings, but, on the contrary, that the history of human experience, as well as the results of scientific experimentation, point to the fact that coffee is a beverage which, properly prepared and rightly used, gives comfort and inspiration, augments mental and physical activities, and may be regarded as the servant rather than the destroyer of civilization. Bobbed Haired Bandit Admits Guilt New York. The bandit careers of Celia and Edward Cooney, arrested in Jacksonville, Fla., came to a drab close here when they pleaded guilty to robbery in the first degree. They will be sentenced next Tuesday. They repudiated attorneys who appeared in the court and attempted to enter pleas of not guilty for them. Judge Martin accepted the pleas, rivaling the speedy justice that has made New Jersey famous. Thirteen persons identified Mrs. Cooney as the "bobbed-hair bandit." Coffee, if properly prepared, has a remarkable stimulating and fatigue-relieving effect, due to the action of caffein, which acts on the central nervous system. It promotes heart action mildly, increases the power to do muscular work, and increases the power of concentration of mental effort, and therefore is an aid to sustained brain-work. It has no depressive after-effect. Air Pilot Breaks Speed Record It is not habit-forming, and does not require continually increasing quantities to give satisfactory stimulation. The action of caffein might be likened for purpose of visualization to lubrication of machines, although the analogy is not perfect. San Antonio, Tex.—Shooting around a forty-five mile course, Lieut. A. O. Powers at Kelly field attained a speed of 174.7 miles an hour and established a world record for the MB 3-A type of airplane. Lieut. R. L. Maughan, holder of the non-stop flight record, was only three-tenths of a mile behind the winner. Loyalty Is a Creed, a Duty, a Sentiment; and It Must Be Lived By DAVID KINLEY. President University of Illinois. Plague Closes California Resorts San Bernardino, Calif.—Temporary closing of the San Bernardino mountains, one of the principal summer playgrounds of southern California, to all persons except residents and those on urgent business, was ordered by the board of supervisors as a precaution against the foot-and-mouth disease. Fruit growers demanded the action, arguing that if the disease ever reached wild game and cattle in the region it might take years to stamp it out. Loyalty is a creed, a duty and a sentiment. It is a creed because the loyal person says, "I believe in my organization, what it is, what it stands for, and what it does." The implication is that he will do his best to make it and keep it in the path of its life. Loyalty is a duty because it implies allegiance. Every member of an organization by the very fact of his membership is bound to obey the laws of the organization. Loyalty is a sentiment. It implies affection, love and enthusiasm. These three are not fully expressed in shouting or "rooting." Loyalty to your organization must be lived. Germans Stop Hayes Germans Stop Hayes Rank Color Prejudice—German Protests Aimed at Roland Hayes May Be Forced to Abandon Part of His European Tour—Protests to American Embassy According to a wireless dispatch reaching here last week from Prague, Germany, Nationalists there are threatening to force Roland Hayes, colored tenor singer, to cancel a series of fourteen concerts in Czecho-Slovakia. Bitter protests have been made, it is said, in sections where the German element predominates, based upon the alleged misdeeds of French colored troops on the Rhine. Hayes' representatives have appealed to the American Legation here and have received a letter testifying to Mr. Hayes' American birth. In spite of this, one paper states that "a Negro cannot grow out of his hide. While he may understand modern music, it would be impossible for him to interpret the cultured works of German poets, since he speaks out of the soul of his aboriginal people. We decline in this section to have the works of Mozart, Bach, Handel and Schubert presented by this Negro." Germans in Carlsbad and in other resorts are understood to have joined the protestants. The charges against the French colored troops on the Rhine, however, were investigated and found untrue, so there must be a deeper reason for the move.

Bolden and Curtis M. Harris, both of whom passed away and were buried the past week. Nor does it often happen that a notable similarity in funeral services, so impressive and so largely attended, are held within a few days of each other, as prevailed in the burial of these two outstanding citizens. Both were, in the strictest sense, community men, possessed of a wide circle of friends, and both enjoyed unmeasured popularity. Rufus B. Bolden was buried last Sunday afternoon, following a most marked funeral service at Central Baptist church, with Rev. John E. Allen in charge. Here beautiful tributes of love and esteem were offered; here resolutions of sincere regard were read from many organizations; here a vast throng of fraternal brothers and fellow citizens turned out in mute testimony of the deceased, well known business man and at all times hale fellow well met. Led by the Elks' band a solemn funeral cortege marched with measured tread from his late residence on Downing street to Central Baptist church, while on each side of Welton street thousands were standing with heads bowed as the last mark of respect to one who had filled such a large place in the life of Denver Negro citizens. ALL THAT WAS MORTAL of Curtis M. Harris was laid to rest Tuesday afternoon and again all Denver stood aggrieved and an immense throng of admiring friends evinced genuine sorrow over the loss of one of Denver's most useful and beloved citizens. Business of all kinds among our group was practically suspended during the hours of the funeral service. And it was a service in eminent keeping with his life and activities, conducted with becoming dignity by Rev. G. L. Prince, pastor of Zion Baptist church, where the funeral was held. The body had hain in state within the great church auditorium and was viewed by several hundred persons. Curtis M. Harris, in his chosen profession, had ministered unto all, rich and poor alike. His native tenderness and inborn compassion knew not the bounds of condition nor denominational lines. Thus it was truly fitting that people from every walk of life should lay down their labors for the day and weep beside his bier; thus it was more than fitting that practically every Denver pulpit voiced its appreciation and admiration of the fallen chieftain, called in the very prime of life. The Elks, Masons and Pythians attended in large numbers and each offered appropriate tribute to his blessed memory. The floral offerings were of exceptional rarity and beauty. Aside from short addresses by the various pastors of the city and representatives of the fraternal orders present, solos were sung by Mrs. Senora Maxwell and Mr. Shirley Liggins, while Mr. Geo. Morrison reached the hearts of all by a beautiful violin solo. The COLORADO STATESMAN bows its head in loving homage and reverence beside the graves of Rufus B. Bolden and Curtis M. Harris.

Dollar International Trade Unit Is British Embassy to Seek New Home? President's Views as to Porto Rico Nine Raw Materials Uncle Sam Lacks Nine Raw Materials Uncle Sam Lacks sponsibility in its relation to world economic affairs, in the opinion of the federal reserve board, which in its annual report indicates a belief that increasingly greater influence in world economic progress will emanate from these shores. The great influx of gold into the United States which now has one-fourteenth of the world monetary stock, the growing use of the American dollar with its gold standard as a trade basis, gradual expansion of American foreign trade, the adoption by many foreign interests of American trade and commercial policies—are cited by the board as showing the responsibility that must be borne and accounted for by the leaders in the United States. Since the federal reserve system is accepted as charting the business course at home, its correspondingly increased power and responsibility in the larger field is examined by the board in its report, and it has set itself to the task of explaining the peace-time functions of the system. It indicates a belief that the general conception of how the system can give full force and effect to its chartered powers of aiding commerce and industry is too limited and makes a definite move toward ACCORDING to gossip, one of the first activities which will engage Sir Esme Howard will be to select a suitable location for a new embassy. Taking a cue from the versatile M. Jusserand, who sold a site which the French government had owned for the past fifteen years, at a figure which permitted the purchase of another and more spacious piece of ground and in a more desirable neighborhood, the British ambassador has been advised that the psychological moment has come to dispose of the fine property in Connecticut avenue already submerged in the rising tide of business. It is a fascinating tople to speculate on the chances of Sixteenth street obtaining another stately establishment or whether the decision will be in favor of Sheridan Circle, or even the remote heights of Massachusetts avenue, where it becomes semi-suburban, Great Britain built her diplomatic establishment when the houses of Connecticut avenue could be counted on one hand, and she erected the finest domicile which Washington had known at that date. Possibly Sir Esme Howard will follow the traditions, but one of the most interesting landmarks of the city PRESIDENT COOLOIDGE entertains some decided views respecting the insular possession of Porto Rico. It was made known at the White House. A bill now before congress that would give to the people of Porto Rico the power to elect their governor, it is said, has the approval of the President. A delegation recently called upon the President to urge a change in the manner of naming the governor of Porto Rico. The President, it is understood, told the Porto Ricans at that time that in his judgment the fundamental question involved in the government of Porto Rico is the difficulty of having an elective legislature and a governor who serves by reason of appointment by the President. Mr. Coolidge, it is said, takes the view that an arrangement of that kind, even when all parties proceed with the greatest possible tact, has in it necessarily elements that are quite likely to lead to some kind of conflict between the governor on the one hand and the local legislature on the other. At this particular time it appears that affairs are in good shape politically in the island, but the President believes that some means should be provided whereby a governor is elected by the people rather than appointed by the President, Mr. Corlidge, it is said, NINE raw materials essential to Americenn industry and agriculture, whose principal production sources are abroad, are controlled in greater or less degree by combinations. Secretary Hoover has written to Senator Capper (Rep. Kan.) The circumstances affecting each commodity have been determined by special Commerce department investigations, and the secretary asserted that the situation required federal legislation suggesting particularly modification of foreign trade statutes to allow American purchasers to combine in their buying, without regard to existing anti-trust laws. He advocated the extension of the Webb-Pomerene act, which allows American producers to combine for the purpose of selling in export so as to permit the setting up of common purchasing agencies by American interests which utilize the monopolized foreign raw materials. "Foreign monopolies or combinations are potentially or actually in control of prices and distribution of the following commodities," Mr. Hoover's letter said. a policy of promulgating such information hereafter. Turning to the question of gold movements, the board says great concern is manifest because of their probable future extent and direction. It says that no future inflow such as that that has taken place can be expected because of the restrictive measures taken by the European powers which are designed directly to control gold exports from their territorial jurisdictions. Then, too, the board asserts that in international trade gold has maintained its conventional position throughout the decade of currency disorganization and with the growing necessity for a common basis for calculating commodity prices there has been a marked tendency to equalize values on the basis of the American dollar because of the gold that backs it. "Thus," the report adds, "the American dollar has become the link between countries on a paper currency basis and the gold standard. "In this adjustment the American dollar, not only because of its convertibility into gold but because of its stability and because of the trade position of the United States, has become increasingly the unit of account in international trade." will disappear if the old brick residence from which the "lion and unicorn" look down on the passing throngs is to be demolished like its aristocratic neighbor, the former embassy of Austro-Hungary. Italy and France are to erect splendid embassy homes on Sixteenth street, and the Spanish, Mexican and Cuban embassies already are established there, together with the legations of Poland, Persia, Czechoslovakia and Venezuela. It therefore seems probable that Great Britain will seek another locality, possibly near the great cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul, where the ground may still be purchased in acreage. Ground plots for embassy and legation buildings are becoming more spacious in recent years, and in Washington, where the official world is generally kept in residence during the entire summer, gardens and wide verandas are necessities instead of luxuries. Then garden parties and al fresco amenities of every variety make up a large part of the social activity. President Coolidge recently laughed off the story about a summer White House by saying that he had already selected one and it was the Mayflower. believes that a fundamental change of this kind would help largely to remove the political difficulties that arise from time to time in Porto Rico. Governor Towner of Porto Rico, in his first message to the legislature, estimated the income for the coming year at between $11,000,000 and $12,000,000, and he said he did not deem it wise to make drastic revenue laws for providing increased revenues. With an assessed property valuation of more than $300,000,000, the governor pointed out that the bonded indebtedness of the island is limited to $30,000,000 and that the present indebtedness is only $11,000,000. He suggested the authorization of an additional issue of $5,000,000 in bonds, the refunding and interest charges for which can be adequately cared for Among the projects proposed, and to be paid for by the bond sale, are the completion of the capital building; the building of a new insane asylum, a new penitentiary, and a school for the blind; the development of community centers through the co-operation of the departments of education and agriculture by building in designated district; is model consolidated rural schools near model farms, and the strengthening of the University of Porto Rico by means of more buildings, equipment and faculty. "Sisal for binding twine is controlled through a combination of producers reinforced by legislative action of the Yucatan government. "Nitrates and iodine are controlled through a British selling agency and reinforced by export duties in Chile. "Potash is controlled by combinations of German producers. "Crude rubber and gutta percha are controlled by partly legislative and partly voluntary combinations of producers in the British and Dutch colonies.

CLARK Washington.-While the Republicans here still are trying to figure out the effect on the party of the forced resignation of Attorney General Daugherty, they are also thinking on the subject of the platform to be adopted at the national convention. The leaders seem to think that on the platform this year the chance of victory may depend. Some of them say that a lesson ought to be learned from recent happenings, and that the lesson has been learned they declare ought to be shown in the platform to be framed and put into use next June. The basis of this belief of course is that a great many progressive Republicans cannot be held loyal to the party if they know in advance that old-line Republicanism still is to rule the roost, old-line Republicanism being the polite name for reaction. The Republican party, the progressives here claim, swung back to the old-time moorings after 1920. There was promise of progress, they say, but it did not materialize. A good many Republicans in Washington admit that many of the things which have been done by the appointed officials of the party in the last three years would not and could not have been done if the size of the victory in 1920 had not made some of the old-timers believe they could get away with murder or something close to it. Poor Appointments Resented. The real trouble, some old Bull Moosers here say, was the appointment to high office of men chosen because they were personal and political friends and perhaps also because they were of reactionary tendencies, little or no thought being given either to their ability or to the certainty that progressive Republicanism would resent their being named to high places. It is a striking thing, perhaps, that the recent and most insistent demand for removals or resignations of certain high officials of government has come from the leaders of the most extreme conservatives in the Republican ranks in congress. Three years ago there wasn't a murmur from any of them because of the seeming reactionary nature of some of the appointments. They thought the country was tired of so-called progressivism and that all would go well. Now it is the old-timers of Republicanism who are demanding that the next platform shall be made so insistently progressive that its meaning cannot be misunderstood. It was thought, old Bull Moosers here say, that the Republicans had learned their lesson in 1912. They did learn it, but as the thought of progressives here runs, they later forgot it. It is about as sure today as anything can be that President Coolidge will be nominated and that he will write his own platform, write it with progressive ink, and for the text of his pronouncements in the name of the party he will have the ready endorsement of old-time conservatism which, whatever its thoughts may be about the dangers of radicalism, certainly desires to keep its party in power. Rely on Coolidge's Wisdom. The Republicans here seem to think that the President can be depended upon to propose platform planks that will be so nicely balanced between a proper conservatism and a proper progressivism that all elements of the party can view them without alarm. This sounds as if evidences of trimming will be found in the next Republican platform. The President's New England friends, however, say that he is not a trimmer and that if his influence is paramount in platform-making the expressions of party intention will be explicit and that, furthermore, if he is elected he will carry out every promise provided congress will help him along. The task that will confront the Republican platform makers will be hard because one endeavor will be to make the pronouncements sufficiently progressive not only to satisfy the pupils of the midfier schools of progressivism, but to satisfy the radical Republicans who are threatening a bolt. The one thing that the party managers desire is to keep the northwest in line for the ticket. While Republicans seem to be convinced that the people are getting fed up on the oil scandals and some other things noxious and to believe a reaction favorable to Republicanism has set in, the fact remains that not one of them but knows and says the party has been hurt by the doings that have been disclosed in certain of the departments. Women Flock to Washington. Woman is coming to town, and let it quickly be said none of them are in rags, but most of them in the velvet gowns of the nursery rhyme or in the equivalent of such. During the month of April there will be thirteen conventions to which delegates representing as many different organizations of American women will hold credentials. Confession is made that one is glad he can put first and foremost the convention of a highly patriotic body of American women representing every state of the Union, the Daughters of the American Revolution. The Daughters not only are patriotic but they are militant in the proper sense. They are for peace and they say so, but they do not believe if their country shall become involved in war it is its duty to take it lying down and to depend upon palver and turning the other cheek to keep the enemy from striking a defenseless land. Some representatives of an international peace and liberty society or something with a name like that will hold a convention in Washington. This society largely represents that element in the community which wants peace at any price. Some of its members are engaged in the daily occupation of preaching down the nation's heart and of declaring that whatever any other country on earth may attempt to do to this good country of ours, there should be no resistance. These women preach the abolition of the army and navy, and some of their members have gone so far as to indorse the slacker's oath. No D. A. R. Election This Time. The Daughters of the American Revolution will meet through the week in which occurs the anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, April 19. Longfellow's poem, "The Ride of Paul Revere," pictures him as waiting on the night of April 18 to get the signal which would start him on his ride to rouse the countryside. This year there will be no election of officers at the convention of the Daughters. They are glad of it, for it gives them a chance to lay plans for constructive service to their country without the accompanying disturbance of electioneering and balloting. Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook of Pennsylvania is the president general of the Daughters of the American Revolution. A few days ago she was the honor guest at lunch of the Women's National Press club of this city, an organization composed of working newspaper women. She promised them plenty of news at the coming convention of the Daughters, and so apparently there are to be some doings this year of high importance. The Daughters have been much disturbed by the various signs of advanced radicalism in the United States, a radicalism which includes the evident desire of the Red fellowship to communize these United States of America. These daughters of America apparently are awake to the situation, while some of the sons of America seemingly have been asleep. Five Women in Beautiful Setting. Washington puts on its best clothes in which to receive the Daughters of the American Revolution. By the middle of April spring is well advanced in the capital. The Oriental magnolias are in full bloom, the tulips are opening to the sun, and the hundreds of Japanese cherry trees which line the Potomac drive are budding into a really glorious bloom. The Daughters of the American Revolution are good to look on. There is no sign that either in spirit or in physique there has been any deterioration from the days of the forefathers and the foremothers. The officers of the Daughters of the American Revolution work hard throughout the entire year. The organization has a large membership, and it steadily is growing. There is no yellow in their flag and they are not afraid to let the world know it. There is a proposal today in the New York legislature to turn over the homestead of old Gen. Nicholas Herkimer in central New York to the joint care of the Daughters of the American Revolution and what is known as the Steuben society, the latter being the successor of the German-American alliance. The Daughters are not friendly to the proposition. They do not think that any society which suggests the hyphen should as such be the custodian of anything that is purely American. Slight Improvement "Good day, Mrs. Brown. How is your husband this morning?" asked one country woman of another whose husband was ill. "Well, I think he's a bit better," was the reply.

SOMETHING FOR DINNER A soup which is somewhat out of the ordinary and provides a nourishing dish for the bill of fare is: Cauliflower and Tomato Soup. Rub a head of cooked cauliflower through the colander, mix with two ounces of Cauliflower and Tomato Soup.—Rub a head of cooked cauliflower through the colander, mix with two cupfuls of sifted tomato, add two cupfuls of broth in which the bones of a turkey or roast have been cooked. Season with three teaspoonfuls of salt and one teaspoonful of pepper. Cook one tablespoonful of minced onion in three tablespoonfuls of fat until brown. Stir in four tablespoonfuls of flour and add the vegetable pulp and stock. Stir until boiling. Serve with rings of sweet pepper as a garnish. Apple Delmonico.—Butter a baking dish and lay in a layer of tart apples cored, pared and cut in rings. Sprinkle with ground almonds and sugar, cover with another layer of apples, add crushed macaroons, pour over a sweet preserve juice or jelly and bake three-quarters of an hour in a quick oven. Pile on whipped cream and serve. Virginia Sweet Potatoes.—In Virginia, the home of this delicious vegetable, this is the popular way of cooking it: Parbell the potatoes, peel and slice while hot. Lay in a buttered dish, sprinkling each layer with salt, sugar and bits of butter. Cover with a layer of buttered crumbs, add a few tablespoonfuls of hot water, cover closely and bake until the upper layer is browned. Green Peppers Stuffed With Rice.—Cut the stem ends from green peppers, remove the white fiber and seeds, parboil for five minutes then dip in cold water, drain and stuff with seasoned rice. Pour a cupful of stock around the peppers and place in a hot oven to bake, basting three times with the broth. Serve as a luncheon dish. "Take a dash of water cold, And a little leaven of prayer, A little bit of sunshine gold Dissolved in morning air; Add to your meal some merriment And a thought for kith and kin; And then as a prime ingredient, A plenty of work thrown in; But spice it all with the essence love. And a little whiff of play: Let a wise old book and a glance above Complete a well spent day." Rarebits are dishes quick to prepare and make a hot dish which most people like CHEF'S TABLE Mexican Rarebit. Melt one tablespoonful of butter, in it cook one green pepper cut into squares. When softened a little add one pound of common cheese, cut into small bits and stir constantly until melted; add two-thirds of a cupful of fresh or canned corn, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of paprika, two eggs well beaten and two-thirds of a cupful of tomato. Stir and cook until smooth and well blended; when thoroughly hot serve on rounds of toast, toasted on one side. Berry Cake.—Butter the inside of a baking dish and fill for one-half inch with buttered crumbs, toasted. Fill the dish with canned or fresh fruit, adding sugar if needed.

Cabbage Salad.—Shred a hard head of cabbage very fine, put into cold water to become crisp. Just before serving drain and dry well and dress with thick sweetened cream, sugar, salt and a dash of vinegar. Some like the cabbage brushed with a potato masher before adding the dressing. Orange Cream.—Whip one-half cupful of cream, add orange extract and little of the carefully prepared fruit. Serve in sherbet glasses. Nellie Maxwell HOW TO GET RID OF RATS IN THE HOUSE Thorough Cleanliness Discourages Presence. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Thorough cleanliness and orderliness discourage the presence of rats and constitute a strong incentive for them to seek other quarters. To eliminate food and hiding places entirely is to eliminate rats. This is not always possible, but the nearer the approach to this condition the more simple the ratriddance problem becomes. The most important means of eliminating food and shelter are to store foodstuffs in rat-proof containers, to dispose of waste and garbage in tightly-covered vessels and to prevent the accumulation of trash, refuse and other similar material. Not only does lack of food and shelter reduce the breeding of rats, but increased hunger renders poisoning and trapping more effective. The most efficient means known to the department for destroying rats is by poisoning, and poison is recommended for the purpose wherever it can be used with safety. Powdered barium carbonate is an inexpensive mineral, and seems best adapted for poisoning rats. It is both odorless and tasteless, and balts containing it are readily taken by these pests. It also has the advantage of being slow in its action, so that rats affected by it usually have time to leave the premises in search of water or to return to their burrows before they succumb. A variety of baits used separately not only gives the rat a choice of foods but tends to make it less suspicious. One kind of each of the following classes of food mixed with barium carbonate is recommended: (1) Meat or other animal substance. —Hamburg steak, sausage, fish, liver, bacon, or cheese. (2) Vegetables and fruits.—Thin slices of muskmelon, apple, tomato, or cucumber, canned corn, or squash or pumpkin seed; or mashed banana, boiled carrot, or baked sweet potato. (3 Cereals—Rolled oats, bread, corn meal, flour or cake. Kitchen scraps and garbage can be worked into the ration to advantage. Balts should be fresh and preferably of good quality. The powdered barium carbonate should be thoroughly mixed and worked into the soft baits in the proportion of 1 part of the mineral to 4 parts of the selected food. Add water when necessary to make the baits moist. Baits molested to the consistency of a soft mush are particularly acceptable to rats in dry weather. Barium carbonate should be sifted over sliced baits and rubbed well into them with the fingers or a knife. The slices should be thin and should be moistened if necessary in order to attain as nearly as possible the 1 to 4 ratio. Soft baits may be mixed with the hands or with a spoon. A teaspoonful, or its equivalent, of each of the three or more kinds of baits prepared, should be exposed in places frequented by rats. In buildings baits should be set on strips of paper or boards where they may be easily removed. A convenient and successful method of exposing balts is to place a teaspoonful in each of a number of small paper sacks and drop them in places accessible to rats or frequented by them. The sacks should be closed by twisting the top. Bait distributed in this manner serves to allay the suspicion of rats and will be taken by them more readily than if exposed in the open. Barium carbonate is a relatively mild poison, but the danger from accidents cannot be overemphasized. Keep it out of the reach of children and irresponsible persons and from domestic animals and fowls.

When planning a new home, have the fixed working surfaces, such as the sink, tubs, kitchen cabinet and pantry counter, placed at carefully determined levels. Tables which ordinarily came in standard sizes, can be raised by means of blocks or casters.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) It is a simple matter to prepare fancy cookies, says the United States Department of Agriculture. The top may be decorated by pressing onto each cookie before baking a plump raisin or pieces of other dried fruit and dusting lightly with sugar. Ground nuts may be strewn over the top, or halves of nuts, such as pecans, English walnuts, and almonds be pressed onto the surface either singly or in form of a design. Again, the cookies may be coated with a plain icing when they come from the oven and halves of nuts or fancy forms in the shape of stars, diamonds, etc. cut from fruit paste may Fancy Cookies. be used to further decorate the cookies. The plain icing may be mixed with shredded coconut, ground nuts, or a mixture of nuts and dried fruits and spread on top or between two plain cookies. Marshmallow frosting, soft chocolate frosting, maple frosting, may all be used as a filling between cookies. In fact, the housewife may imitate a number of fancy cakes of the confectioner if she wishes to spend a little extra time and care on her baking. The following recipe for rich cookies makes a good basis for fancy cookies, which are so useful to have on hand at holiday time, for afternoon tea, or the unexpected caller. Rich Cookies. Cream together the sugar and shortening; add to this the well-beaten eggs, the flavoring, and the flour with which the salt and baking powder have been sifted. This dough will be about the consistency of that for drop cookies. If rolled cookies are desired, omit the water, and increase the flour to three cupfuls, or enough to make a dough stiff enough to roll thin. Cut and bake as usual. Dried fruits, nuts, etc., may be added if desired. Household Questions Singing together is a good way to get folks working together. Somebody has called the family breakfast the backbone of the nation. The hot school lunch and bright pupils have a peculiar affinity for each other.

ALL TABLES AND SINK 5'8" 36" ferent heights, is an excellent proof of the need for variation in working levels. Extension specialists, directed by the Washington Agricultural college and the United States Department of Agriculture, have found by experiment that the young girl who lacks an inch of being five feet tall should have the sink 'set so that its bottom, which would be at a point 6 inches below her elbow, comes $31\frac{1}{2}$ inches from the floor; a woman of medium height, 5 feet $31\frac{1}{2}$ inches, would work best if the bottom of the sink were $34\frac{1}{2}$ inches from the floor, while a tall woman, 5 feet 8 inches in height, would not be able to work comfortably unless the point 6 inches below her elbow, the bottom of the sink, is 30 inches from the floor. --- 2 teaspoonfuls baking powder teaspoonful salt vapor to suit taste The Kitchen Cabinet (@, 1924, Western Newspaper Union.)

Clder Cake.—Cream one cupful of butter, add two cupfuls of sugar, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of clnnamon and allspice mixed; add three well-beaten eggs, a cupful of cider and one teaspoonful of soda. Mix with three cupfuls of flour and bake in a loaf in a moderate oven. Cover with brown sugar frosting. Little Plum Cakes.—Measure four cupfuls of flour, one cupful each of sugar and butter, one teaspoonful of mixed spices and one-half teaspoonful of salt. Beat the butter to a cream, add three well-beaten eggs, one-half pound of raisins, the seedless kind, and one-half pound of currants. Add to the flour mixture and beat for ten minutes. This will form a stiff paste. Dredge flour on tin baking sheets and drop the cake in spoonfuls the size of a walnut. Bake in a hot oven. Creamed Lobster on Toast—Make a well-seasoned white sauce, using thin cream and plenty of butter; add flaked lobster, with cayenne for seasoning. Serve on rounds of buttered toast. Chestnut croquettes are not difficult to make and are a delicious variety to serve. Use the paste, adding egg and such seasoning as one likes.

VIVACIOUS SPORTS FROCK; SPRING HATS ARE WONDERFUL THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY SPORTS FROCK WITH SHIRT BOSOM THERE is something new in sports frocks this spring—it is the pretty and vivacious two-piece affair made of dependable fabrics, and in a casual style, that just suits our up-to-date women. When the wind is from the south and the sun shines, out come these frocks for out-dooring. They are interpreted in several different kinds of materials, including some alluring novelties, with French flannel, alpaca, wash silks, wool crepe and the always-good ponge or linen, offering choices that cannot be anything but good. milliners entrancing and joyfully departes er of heart and But if there is on world better than being a bit extravagant—a becoming hat. In wonderful milline numerable variation style inspirations no the mode, and any relection of new hats shapes that adroitly ent types of faces, that add dignity—or In many of these frocks a plain material is used alone, or two colors, in the same goods, are used together, as when white is used with green, brown, blue, or other color, in French flannel. But more assertive patterns are well represented, in which plaids, stripes and cross-bars are cleverly used, very often in combination with plain goods. Designers are distinguishing them Designers are distinguishing them M "EVERYTHING IS GOOD IN MILLINERY" setives in these frocks that put their resourcefulness to the test in combining utility with chic style and durability with daintiness. The color combinations in plaids, or in the striped and barred materials, prove an incentive to the introduction of matching accessories in ties, scarfs, plplings or buttons. The shirt-bosom vest is a new style note, allowing the introduction of white or a color in the blouse that is eloquent of this particular spring. But sometimes the shirt bosom is merely hinted at, by means of braid or of tucks as in the frock pictured here. Any of the fabrics mentioned might be used for this model which has a plain skirt and a slip-over blouse that is tied toward the back. This simple-seeming dress is a masterpiece of good designing—furnishing a perfect equipment for joyous spring and summer days. semi-dress models, which seen fit to approve either tailored or an Even with severely tails suits the mode is inductive type of hat one may wear present plain, tailored these are less become trimmed variety, the becomingness above are not contenting the single hat, but find it have a sports hat at lt to a trimmed model. Of this season are app wear, unless they are intended for sports wear. Something of the var. and trimmings in s may be gathered from tured, but this is a "everything is good" l therefore there is a be Hopefully the procession of womankind takes its way toward the milliners entrancing establishments—and joyfully departs therefrom lighter of heart and of pocketbook. But if there is one excuse in the world better than all others for being a bit extravagant that excuse is—a becoming hat. This spring is rich in wonderful millinery; there are innumerable variations of the several style inspirations now established as the mode, and any representative collection of new hats is made up of shapes that adrottly flatter the different types of faces. There are hats that add dignity—or take it away—hats that add pliancy, hats that make the commonplace look distinguished, hats that lend color, hats that rescue one from tameness and hats that take off a decade or so from one's age. It is marvelous what hats and hair dressing can do to and for us mortals. The group of five hats shown here is made up of what may be classed as J semi-dress models, which fashion has seen fit to approve for wear with either tailored or afternoon dress. Even with severely tailored, mannish suits the mode is indulgent as to the type of hat one may wear. The shops present plain, tailored hats, but when these are less becoming than the trimmed variety, the decision is for becomingness above all else. Women are not contenting themselves with a single hat, but find it necessary to have a sports hat at least in addition to a trimmed model. The sports hats of this season are approved for street wear, unless they are too assertively intended for sports wear. Something of the variety in shapes and trimmings in semi-dress hats may be gathered from the group pictured, but this is a season when "everything is good" in millinery and therefore there is a becoming hat for every face.
