THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY COLLECTOR CHAS. W. ANDERSON OF THE 3RD N. Y. DISTRICT, IN BIGGEST JOB HELD BY NEGRO Formerly Over 2nd New York District, Wealthiest in United States—Has Served Under Five Presidents Mr. Anderson Has Won High Honors for Efficiency In Conduct of Affairs of His Office. VOL. XXX COLLECTOR CHAS. OF THE 3RD N. BIGGEST JO Formerly Over 2nd New Y United States—Has Seri Mr. Anderson Has Wor In Conduct of Affairs of THE biggest political job now held by a Negro is being han- dled in a big way by Charles W. Anderson, collector of internal revenue for the Third district of New York. Mr. Anderson previously served as internal revenue collector for the wealthiest district in the United States, the Second New York. He served four years under President Roosevelt, four under President Taft, two under President Wilson, six months under President Harding, and was reappointed by President Coolidge because he had not been confirmed by the Senate at the time of the late President's death. The Third revenue district was recreated a little over a year ago upon recommendation of Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon. This district takes in all the territory on Manhattan, north of Twenty-third street, in which is located the world's largest theatrical district, Madison Square Garden, the Polo Grounds, the leading hotels and restaurants of New York, the jewelry and shopping center. By a recent ruling of the F. S. District Court, the taxes from the Yankee Stadium and the racing associations, which have offices on Manhattan, pay taxes to this office. The principal residential sections of Fifth, Madison and Park avenues and Riverside Drive are also located in this territory. Collections from income taxes and all other sources in this district for the year ending March 31, amounted to $34,000,000. Receives 12,000 Letters Daily The main office of the district is located in the Fisk building, which occupies the south side of Fifty-seventh street from Broadway to Eighth avenue. The offices take up the entire eleventh floor and the collector's private suite overlooks Broadway. During the month of March, when income tax returns were being filed, it was estimated by the chief elevator starter of the building, that from 5,000 to 12,000 people visited these offices and had their income tax returns investigated. The mail received during this period reached as high as 16,000 letters per day, and a force of twenty employees were required to open it, with eight assigned to opening and sorting the registered mail. The office is manned by a force of 300 clerks, deputy collectors, stenographer-typists, Elliott-Fisher operators, Burroughs adding machine operators, auditors, bookkeepers, income tax experts, a chief field officer, a chief deputy, and five division chiefs. Among its employees are representatives of almost every race and religion in America, who work together with harmony and with full co-operation and with mutual respect. The colored deputy collectors, clerks and stenographers are the equal in efficiency, courtesy and devotion to duty of any other group in the office. It is needless to say that there is no such thing as grouping or segregation because of race or religion. Under Collector Anderson this office is and has been in balance to a cent. All journals, ledger entries and list postings have been checked and verified with original vouchers and all accounts have been brought into balance without the necessity of a single arbitrary correction entry. This office is one of the three in the country, which have installed the Library Bureau systems for correspondence and income tax returns. When Mr. Anderson returned to office on April 2, 1923, a committee of distinguished New Yorkers, of which Colonel William Hayward was spokesman, presented him with a solid gold badge in which was set a large diamond. The badge bore the shield of the United States and was crowned with the American eagle. When it became necessary for him to be sworn in a second time on February 1, 1924, after being reappointed by President Coolidge, the office and field force of the Third district presented Collector Anderson with a mahogany chest containing a complete set of silver plate with the following inscription: "To Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue, from the employees of the Third Internal Revenue District, February 1, 1924." The collector's secretary, Abraham Cohen, is a district captain of the Nineteenth Assembly district. At the last election Mr. Cohen's was the only white district which gave the Republican candidate for alderman, a Negro, a majority over his white opponent. Mr. Cohen extends every courtesy to visitors to the internal revenue office of the Third district.—New York Age. Dept. of Justice Notifies N. A. A. C. P. Houston Martyr will Be Pardoned New York, April 25.—The Department of Justice, through H. C. Heckman, acting president, Boards of Parole, has notified the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, that Ben McDaniel, a Houston riot prisoner, is now eligible for parole and his case would be heard at Leavenworth penitentiary in May. The letter from the Department of Justice to the N. A. A. C. P. is as follows: "In reply to your letter of April 15, 1924, I have to advise you that Ben McDaniel is now eligible for parole on May 9, 1924. His case will be heard by the Parole Board at its meeting to be held next month at the penitentiary. "You are further advised that the Parole Officer at the penitentiary will see that all necessary papers are filled out by the prisoner and he will appear automatically before the board at the proper time. I assure you this case will have careful consideration." Record of Efficiency. State Hist & Nut Hist Society State House LIABLE PEOPLE RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER BLE PEOPLE'S PA ADO JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1924 White Southern Editor Tells "What a Lynching Means" (Chattanooga, Tenn., Times, April 13.) A 15-year-old Negro boy was lynched at Woodbury, Ga., on Thursday of the past week, for having shot a police officer who had arrested him on a charge of larceny. The method provided by law in such cases for dealing with offenders is a commitment by a grand jury after an investigation of the facts, a trial by a jury and the enforcement of the verdict by a constituted judge and authorized peace officers. The killing of this Negro boy was, therefore, murder; it was done willfully, premeditatedly and maliciously and in the spirit of revenge. It was done, too, by responsible citizens who are sworn to obey the laws and to give to every offender under charges his constitutional right to "a day in court." The lynching was, therefore, an act of community outlawry, otherwise known as anarchy. It will never be known, of course, what the offense of the victim was—the only evidence that he was "guilty" was the "clamor" of a mob. He had shot an officer of the law—whether he was justified or not his executioners did not stop to inquire. His tender years was no protection; he was needed as a victim "to be flung to the wolves," an example to others of what would happen to them in any event, whether they acted in self-defense or from a purely murderous propensity. Besides the offense against lawful procedure and the sentiments of enlightened and civilized society, this act emphasized in all its parts the total failure of our present system to maintain the ideals of a Christian people we so often and so smugly boast we are. If we were doing our duty as citizens and lawmakers, this boy would never have had a pistol with which to kill; we, therefore, must share whatever guilt was his. And yet we take him out and kill him for the very thing for which we are more responsible than he! He was ignored; perhaps brought up in criminal environments —neglected and in a way despised under the social order in which he was living. The men who killed him had the advantages of education; had been brought up in the shadow of the Christian churches and had all the opportunities for spiritual and moral enlightenment a cultured community affords. That they should resort to an act of savagery in defiance of every uplifting an ennobling sentiment of their bringing-up illuminates the solemn truth, not that Christianity or the Christian spirit is thus crucified and set at naught, but that there has been a total default of men in a Christian community to model their lives and govern their conduct according to the professions they make. In other words, this and similar incidents bump us with the hard, unmistakable and disheartening fact that ours is still a society, for the most part, made up of pharisees. We shout love of God, truth, righteousness, justice, fair play and law enforcement from the housetops, and then we go out and lynch a Negro. --- Cheyenne, Wyo. News G. A. R.

ATTRACTS LARGE CROWD Striking Ceremony by Masons and Stirring Addresses of Leading Citizens Give New Inspiration to Founders and Supporters ONE of the largest crowds that ever attended an event of any character in Denver assembled at Twenty-eighth street and Glenarm place at 2:30 last Sunday afternoon to witness the laying of the cornerstone of the new Y. M. C. A. building, now in course of erection. Secretary Thos. J. Bell presided in the absence of Mr. L. H. Walton. The special ceremonies were conducted by the Rocky Mountain Lodge of Masons with P. G. M. William Sprague in charge. It was a beautiful ceremony and deeply impressed the very large crowd that witnessed it. The day was ideal for such an auspicious occasion and many citizens of the white race were attracted by the epoch-making event. In addition to a large Masonic turnout, Mountain Lodge of Elks No. 39 attended in a body and made a most striking appearance in their brilliant purple headpieces, marching behind the stirring music of the Elks' band. A well arranged program was rendered, which seemed to lift the vast audience to the highest plane of optimism. Mr. C. A. Johnson, chairman of the building committee and member of the firm of Lyons & Johnson, leading realtors of Denver, the man who offered the inspiration for the new building by giving the first $5,000 towards its erection, in a short but very impressive address spoke on behalf of the citizens of Denver, offering a welcome and commendation to those whose efforts had brought about the present achievement. Mr. Johnson was loudly cheered and applauded. Gov. William E. Sweet, president of the Central Y. M. C. A., who was to have delivered an address, was unexpectedly called out of the city and Mr. Frank McDonough, Sr., substituted in his stead with a pointed address. Hon. Halstead L. Ritter also spoke as a representative of the Community Chest, expressing great pride in the achievement of such a splendid building for our group. Assisting Grand Master Sprague In the Masonic ceremonies were Oglesvie Lawson, Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, William Spivey, Ledger Jones, William Russ, S. A. Bondurant, Carl Wilson, W. S. Humphries and others. George W. Gross of Pike's Peak Lodge No. 5 was selected as grand orator of the day. A great outburst of applause greeted the venerable Titus Rector when he was introduced as one who had long worked and sacrificed for just such a scene as was enacted at Twenty-eighth and Glenarm Sunday. Several musical selections were rendered by the Olinger Cadet band and the Elks' Military band; also a combined choir from the various churches accompanied by Hewetson-Watson at the organ and A. Madison, cornetist. The singing was led by Prof. Shirley J. Liggins of Zion Baptist church. All the ministers of the different denominations were present, those taking particular parts being: Rev. F. M. Liggins of the New Hope Baptist church, who read the Scriptures, while Rev. C. H. Uggams offered the special prayer for divine guidance and maintenance of the work, and the Rev. J. E. Allen made special remarks, emphasizing the support financially necessary for the NO.29. work. A splendid offering was taken up before the close of the ceremonies, which marked a red-letter day among Denver citizens. Mr. Ira E. Lute, general secretary of the Central Y. M. C. A., was very energetic during the proceedings, in which he ably assisted the branch secretary, Thos. J. Bell, to carry out the program successfully. The committee of management, building committee and financial committee, consisting of the leading professionals, business men, clerks, etc., were present and carried out their respective assignments successfully. Thus another chapter is written in the life of the Glennarm branch of the Y. M. C. A. in the laying of a cornerstone to its building, which promises to be a very imposing structure and which, as one of the speakers said, "Will not only serve the institution but the community of Denver, Colo." Dr. George E. Cannon Leads all Candidates for New Jersey's Republican Delegate at Large Dr. George E. Cannon, president of the Jersey City Branch and member of the National Board of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was elected New Jersey's delegate-at-large to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland next June, leading a field of seven, among whom were an ex-governor of the state, one of the state's ex-senators and the present senator in Washington. The primary elections took place on April 22. The results showed that Dr. Cannon was first, Senator Edge second, ex-Governor Silzer third, and ex-Senator Frelinghuysen fourth. This is one of the most signal and decisive triumphs yet achieved by any colored candidate for office. Negro Unit for Ohio National Guard announced by Harry E. Davis. Negro Unit for Ohio National Guard announced by Harry E. Davis. Harry E. Davis, colored member of the Ohio Legislature, and member of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has announced the formation of a colored unit of the Ohio National Guard. On his return to Cleveland recently from Columbus, O., where he conferred with the adjutant general, Mr. Davis said: "The company here will be mustered in between May 1 and 15. It will be part of an Ohio battalion. Other companies will be organized in Dayton and Cincinnati or Toledo.

All Americans were reported safe. The steamer Robert Dollar, now in the Yangtze river service, was wrecked on the Yangtze April 23, near Chungchow, according to delayed dispatches received in Peking by the American legation. All the passengers, crew and officers were saved. The replies of four big allied powers to the reparation commission's communication regarding the Dawes report all accept the experts' findings wholly. France alone raises the question of procedure, while Italy declares the report to be "an indivisible whole" which should be taken in its entirety without condition or qualification. J. H. Thomas, the colonial secretary, announced in the House of Commons that as no settlement by agreement was possible, the boundary between northern Ireland and the remainder of Ireland must be determined in accordance with Article XII of the Anglo-Irish treaty. This article provides for the establishment of a boundary commission. Japanese reaction to the United States immigration legislation is in a quiescent state while officials and public alike are waiting to learn whether President Coolidge will sign or veto the measure.

Heiser, Far East representative of the Rockefeller foundation, now in the Philippines on an inspection trip, has issued a warning to health authorities to fake every precaution against spread of yellow fever to this part of the world. He said yellow fever now is prevalent in Brazil and that there was great danger of transpacific steamers carrying the disease to Far East ports. A general mobilization, including the calling to the colors of all men up to 42 years of age, is reported to be under way in Rumania. According to information given the German government, this is merely a "trial mobilization," but it is believed it is also intended to serve two other purposes—to serve as a demonstration of Rumania's readiness for war and a warning to Russia and Jugo-Slavia, with both of whom Rumania is living in strained relations. Premier Polincare and Premier Theunis of Belgium, in conference in Paris, decided that military occupation of the Ruhr by Franco-Belgian forces must be continued. Polincare insisted that no modification of the occupation can be consented to until the reparations committee has worked out a complete and definite program for application of the Dawes recommendation, and the Belgian premier agreed. Great Britain and Italy are known to favor early cessation of the occupation against which Germany has protested bitterly. GENERAL The first severe electrical storm of the year caused heavy damage in the Northwest last week. Many houses, barns and other buildings were struck by lightning and most of them destroyed. Telephone and telegraph communication suffered heavily from lightning and wind. Hundreds of trees were blown down. White men and negroes attending the Tenth district Republican convention at Memphis, Tenn., came to blows at the outset of the session, and before order was restored one negro had been taken away in an ambulance and several on each side bore marks of battle. The clash resulted when white delegates are said to have ordered negroes attending the convention to take seats in the rear of the hall. More than 100 miners were entombed by an explosion in the Benwood Mill mine of the Wheeling Steel Corporation at Benwood, near Wheeling, W. Vn. All entries to the mine were blocked by falls of rock and dirt. Little hope was entertained for the trapped miners, for the mine was on fire and choked with deadly fumes. Bandits robbed T. D. Gradinaroff, assistant cashier of the Granite City, Ill., National Bank of $63,000 in currency which he had just received at the postoffice from the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank. Several shots were fired by Gradinaroff and the bandits, but no one was wounded. The robbery took place in front of the bank, across the street from the postoffice. Luis Angel Firpo announced in Buenos Aires that he had definitely rejected the offer of Tex Rickard for the Argentine boxer to return to America and that he would not fight under Rickard's management under any conditions. He declared that he never could forget that Rickard insisted that he fight Dempsey last year before he was prepared to do so, and that Rickard's insistence had lost him the world's championship. Three bandits bound and gagged Charles Kresney in his office and jewelry manufacturing plant in Nassau street in the heart of the lower Manhattan skyscraper district in New York city and escaped with diamonds and platinum mountings valued at $150,000.

NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY WESTERN Mrs. N. E. Smythe, formerly of Colorado Springs, Colo., and Castle Green, Ind., shot and killed her daughter, Hazel Day, and then killed herself as they lay in bed in a rooming house in Phoenix, Arizona, according to the verdict of a coroner's jury at Phoenix. Increased humidity aided in checking the spread of seventy-five or more forest fires over the state of Washington, but large crews of men still are fighting blazes, three of which are declared by State Forester Fred E. Pape of Olympia to be extremely serious. Harold H. Dolley, chief field agent under State Prohibition Director Samuel F. Rutter of California has been dismissed from the federal service and has returned his commission and credentials to Mr. Rutter in San Francisco, according to the Los Angeles Examiner. Following an explosion that was caused by an acetylene torch igniting gases at the General Petroleum Company oil plant at Taft, Calif., fire swept the mammoth tanks of the company and a call for assistance was sent to Bakersfield. Tanks containing fuel value at $300,000 were in flames. A severe earthquake was felt in Seattle, Wash., last week. Restdents pronounced it the most severe tremor in this district for many years. No damage has been reported. The tremor lasted seven seconds, according to a record made by the seismograph at the University of Washington. The last severe shock felt in Seattle was one in 1912, of one minute duration. Fred Bookman, city marshal at Libby, Mont., was shot and killed by a transient whom he was attempting to arrest after the latter had shot at Warren Hill.

Several bottles of liquor were found after his arrest on the person of the slayer, who was declared to have been intoxicated. Arizona has put into effect one of the most drastic quarantine orders in its history against the spread of pestilence. With the foot-and-mouth disease raging within the borders of her neighboring state, California, the state of Arizona, which already has invoked embargoes against vehicular traffic and products from the infected areas, began the disinfection of every railroad passenger from California and Lower California destined for an Arizona city. WASHINGTON Tegucigalpa, capital of Honduras, has fallen to the rebels, the Navy Department was advised in a dispatch from the commander of the U. S. S. Milwaukee at Amapala. Imposition of a 10 per cent tax on radio sets and reduction of the levies on automobile trucks and tires and accessories was ordered by the Senate in approving committee amendments to the revenue bill. Categorical denial was made by President Cooldge in a statement that he was "trying to deliver Muscle Shoals to Mr. Ford or to anyone else." The President in his statement said he did not think Mr. Ford's favor was for sale and that the question of the disposition of Muscle Shoals ought to be decided on its merits. President Coolidge imposed his will upon leaders in Congress and prevailed upon them to extend until July 1 next the time at which the Japanese exclusion clause of the immigration bill would take effect. The avowed purpose of the extension is to allow Secretary of State Hughes time in which to negotiate an agreement on the subject Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, in an exhaustive report to President Coolidge, flatly denied charges preferred by Charles B. Brewer, special attorney for the department of justice, that fraudulent duplication or over-issue of government wartime securities had taken place, that treasury officials suppressed information concerning these alleged irregularities, and that there was fraud and carelessness in the handling of securities after retirement. A resolution proposing a child labor amendment to the Constitution was passed by the House. Every effort to modify the measure which now goes to the Senate, failed. It would empower Congress to limit, regulate or prohibit the labor of children 18 years of age. The vote was 297 to 69, or 53 more than the two-thirds required Secretary Mellon advised President Coolidge a few days ago that the treasury had completed its inquiry into charges of irregularities in the bureau of engraving and had found them baseless.

Bv EDWARD B. CLARK Washington—The Washington list of twenty-six names, any one of which possibly may be that of the Democratic nominee for the presidency, has been increased by one name—that of Brand Whitlock, one-time mayor of Toledo and later ambassador to Belgium. There are several newspaper men in the list of Democratic possibilities for the nomination. Once a newspaper man always a newspaper man in instinct and feeling if not in fact. Brand Whitlock has done pretty nearly everything in the newspaper field from police reporting to editorial writing. Josephus Daniels, former secretary of the navy, a newspaper man, is now in Washington writing a book. Brand Whitlock has written several books, one of which, a political story, attracted the attention, the admiration and the praise of Grover Cleveland. It probably will not be that the next nominee of the Democratic party will be a newspaper man, but there is a chance, nevertheless. One gray-haired veteran of the newspaper profession in Washington said the other day that if one of the craft were to be nominated and perhaps elected president of the United States, he hoped it would be one who had served his time as an all-round reporter. The best editorial writers and the best "highbrow correspondents," this veteran said, were those who had served apprenticeships as night police reporters or as all-round reporters of street, court and fire happenings. When Whitlock Was Reporter. The suggestion of Brand Whitlock's name in Washington, of course, brings to mind his remarkable career as minister to Belgium, but it also brings to some of the newspaper workers here memories of Whitlock's career as a reporter in the city of Chicago a good many years ago. He was one of a group of general news-gatherers in the big western city when things were done differently than they are today. There was more individuality in the game then is possible under modern conditions. Things were not cut and dried. There were no conferences of reporters of different newspapers to make it sure that no one of them was to be scooped by another of them. Every man was on his own then and if he pulled off a scoop he felt himself greater than "He that taketh a city." When one looks back and memory helps his eyesight, he tries to visualize what would have happened to a gathering in the old Whitechapel club in Chicago if some reporter with sooth-saying qualities well developed suddenly should have announced that a certain man present one day was to be prominently named as a presidential candidate. Those were light-hearted gatherings in the old days, and the chances are that even if the prophetic qualities of the forecasting reporter had been recognized, there would have been no marked evidence that the reportorial mind was staggered in the least. Some of Hia Old Comrades. Some of His Old Comrades. There are one or two Washington correspondents who look back somewhat longingly at the doings of the old days. The one or two were fellow-reporters with Brand Whitlock in Chicago. Today they are wondering if by any chance they ever will be among those present when their former comrade of the street and the office shall hold a conference as president of the United States with the assembled corps of Washington correspondents. Stranger things have happened. Some of those old-time reporters are dead, most of them are dead in fact, but some are much alive. Brand Whitlock is a possible nominee for the presidency. Finley Peter Dunne (Mr. Dooley) is in New York, famous and rather gray. William E. Lewis, brother of Alfred Henry Lewis, is the editor of the New York Telegraph, also rather gray, a grandfather, but still in the game. George Babbitt is on the Chicago News and probably is the dean of the Chicago newspaper profession. There are one or two others, one other certainly, who is in Washington and his name is held modestly in reserve. One of the associates of Whitlock, Dunne, and the rest of them in the newspaper game in Chicago in the old days was John E. Wilkie, now a ranking street railroad official in Chicago, and for twelve years the chief of the United States secret service. Wilkie came to Washington about the time that Frank A. Vanderlip came here and they both hailed from the Chicago newspaper field. Probably Brand Whitlock will not be the next president of the United States for probably he will not be nominated, but nevertheless all things are possible and if such a happening should come about there is at least one man in this city, who will look upon the president of the United States with a view to determining the changes which time has wrought in making an old-time reporter into a next-time president. It won't hurt a bit probably if the old-time qualities still persist. Early Adjournment Unlikely. Again it seems to be timely to call attention to the extreme optimism of President Coolidge on the subject of an early adjournment of congress. Within a day or two there have been conferences between the chief executive and leaders of the two houses, and after the conferences the smile of confidence is said to have been noted on the presidential visage. The old-timers here are not in the mood of optimism with the President. They say there will be an early adjournment of course if the work can be done, but they seem to think that in this case the "if" is not going to have it and that the work will not be done. Certain it is that if congress does not adjourn prior to the first national convention there will not be many congressmen in town to carry on the work. As the country ought to know through constant repetition of the statement, early adjournment or late adjournment depends upon the senate. It seems entirely probable that the senate will dispose of the bonus bill before the revenue act is debated. The revenue act will occupy the time of the senate for weeks. In the form in which it has come from the senate finance committee it does not suit the Democrats nor the so-called radical Republicans. It contains also many features which were not to be seen in it as it passed the house of representatives. Long Immigration Debate Likely. Long Immigration Debate Likely. The situation concerning immigration legislation has been set forth in many letters and dispatches going out of Washington. The senate will talk immigration probably longer than it will talk bonus. If the senators who stand in opposition to a marked strengthening of the present restrictive laws shall desire to talk to patience's limit on the matter, the chances are there will be no new bill enacted into law. Congress in this case will be compelled to extend the existing law for another year. This will mean that the same number of immigrants will be admitted between July 1, 1924, and July 1, 1925, that have been admitted during the fiscal year now passing. Representatives of California are most vitally interested in the exclusion of the Japanese. Seemingly they are afraid that the present "gentleman's agreement" between this country and Japan will not prove to be lasting and that unless an actual inhibition act is put into the new immigration measure there will be a Japanese influx into the country. Farm Relief a Problem. The administration, and congress with it, is worried over the question of farm relief. It is understood that President Coolidge is opposed to the McNary-Haugen bill because, as he seems to think, it is a price-fixing measure. There is some chance, however, that amendments which may be adopted can bring this bill into a form to be acceptable to the administration. President Coolidge still seems to be relying for farm relief on the Agricultural Credits corporation, which, with a capital of $10,000,000 subscribed by nongovernmental interests, may, in connection with the War Finance corporation, be able, it is thought, to relieve the situation in the wheat-growing regions. Within a week it is probable that all the appropriation bills will have been reported out of the committees. This is only a first step, however, and specially so as far as the senate is concerned. The house makes short work of appropriation bills. If certain senators do not like certain provisions in the bills there is bound to be an almost endless flow of talk. It is thought that in the senate the army and navy bills will be provocative of so much discussion that night sessions will be inevitable. There are in the senate some men who seemingly think that we ought to be able to get along without an army and a navy. These senators represent that thought in some of the communities which insisted there should be no preparation for war when it virtually was certain that this country would be compelled to enter into the recent conflict. New Zealand Gum Deposits Many centuries ago a large section of New Zealand was covered with a heavy forest of gum-bearing trees, and the fossilized gum is found only a few feet below the surface, the forest having disappeared. Scientists have found the gum deposits extremely valuable and they are being hunted and bring ample rewards for the toll when found, as they supply a valuable material in the manufacture of transparent varnish. The same sort of deposits is found on the shores of the Baltic, where the giant pines once flourished, the gum being clear amber in color and extremely pure in quality. Adventure Magazine. Ancient Almanacs How many persons know that the second item printed in America was an almanac? Yet so it was. "An Almanac for the year of Our Lord, 1639, calculated for New England," by Mr. William Pierce, mariner, "was printed as a broadside" by Stephen Daye in Cambridge in 1639. No copy is known to be extant. There was printed at the Cambridge Press every year after 1639 one or more almanacs, and all of them begin with the month of March. The almanacs printed by Stephen Daye for 1640, 1641, 1642, 1643, 1644, 1645 have vanished utterly. Can't See 'Em Billy—"I tell you, marriage is an eye-opener."

HOME HINTS AND DIET HOME HINTS AND DIET By INEZ SEARLES WILLSON (United States Department of Justice) DAINTY SANDWICHES FOR AFTERNOON TEAS There are infinite possibilities for making sandwiches which rival confections in attractiveness and taste. I have often heard guests exclaim over the lovely little cakes as they approached the tea table. The "lovely little cakes" were none other than extremely beautifully made fancy sandwiches. These little "open faced" sandwiches may be cut in fancy shapes and decorated in a variety of pleasing and palatable ways. There are any number of spreads which may also be used as a filling for closed sandwiches. The decorations or spread, because we must not think of them entirely in terms of beauty, but also as something good to eat, may be selected with the idea of carrying out a definite color scheme as there are many color combinations possible. Just a word about sandwich making in general. The bread should be fine in texture such as is found in the sandwich loaf made by all bakers. It should not be too fresh. Bread baked the day before is easy to cut. For the open sandwiches, the slice should be at least a quarter of an inch thick. Be sure your knife is sharp. Have all your tools and ingredients ready. It makes the work much simpler to have everything gathered together on the table before you begin operations. You will need a set of cookie cutters. The ways of making the sandwiches given below may prove helpful as well as suggestive of other ideas. If a large number of people are to be served, make at least half of the sandwiches of the plain or ribbon variety, as these are made very quickly. It is usual to count on two sandwiches for each person. Take two slices of wheat bread and one of brown or graham. Spread one of the slices of wheat bread with butter and a filling which may be cream cheese and chopped nuts, jam or jelly. Place the dark bread on this and spread as before. Next, put the second piece of wheat bread in place. Trim the edges and compress them under a weight so that they will not fall apart when they are sliced. Slice in "ribbons." Three pieces of bread will make five or six sandwiches. A great favorite is made with cream cheese, the kind that comes wrapped in tinfoil, and marmalade or jam. Cut the bread in small round pieces and spread with butter. The cheese should be moistened with milk or cream so that it may be manipulated easily. Spread it around the edges so that they have a scalloped appearance. Drop a spoonful of jam or marmalade in the center. Ham paste, spread on diamond or triangular-shaped pieces, may have the yolks of hard-boiled eggs sprinkled around the edges. Put the egg yolk through the potato ricer. To make the paste, run the ham through the food chopper and mix with mayonnaise. Green sweet peppers, chopped fine, may be used instead of the egg yolk. The whites of the eggs may be mixed with anchovy paste and used as a spread or as a filling. Pastes may be made from fruits such as dates, figs, prunes and raisins. Tuna fish, salmon and chicken may also be used in this way. Candied fruits, cut in thin slices, combine well with cheese, and the imagination can conjure up many ways of using them as decoration on the sandwich. DO YOU KNOW? 1. That one egg is equal to four tablespoonfuls—this may help when you have either yolks or whites left and you want some way of measuring a part of them. Measure in a cup. 2. That one cup equals sixteen tablespoonfuls. 3. That one tablespoonful equals three teaspoonfuls. 4. All measurements should be level. 5. More accurate measurements are obtained, when a part of a spoonful is required, by making the division lengthwise rather than crosswise of the spoon. 6. Flour is stirred more easily into a liquid by using a salad fork. 7. That there are four general classes of white sauces and the proportions of flour and liquid determine the use. (a) Thin white sauce is made by using one tablespoonful of flour to one cup of liquid. It is used for cream soups. (b) Medium—Two tablespoonfuls of flour to one cupful of liquid, used for creamed vegetables and gravies. (c) Thick—Four tablespoonfuls of flour to one cupful of liquid, used for croquettes. (d) Very thick—slx tablespoonfuls of flour to one cupful of liquid, used for souffles. While sauces often have a pasty taste which is due to insufficient cooking of the starch. A very important consideration in the cost of oils is the kind of container in which they are purchased. Olive oil, for example, has been shown to cost three times as much when bought in a four-ounce bottle as when bought in a quart can. NIGHT SESSION MAY BE CALLED SPEED UP TAX BILL SPEED UP TAX BILL SUSTAINED ARGUMENT BRINGS CALL FOR ACTION FROM UTAH SENATOR Washington.—The tax reduction bill was suspended in the Senate a few days ago on a wave of oratory which ran unchecked until adjournment, when Chairman Smoot of the finance committee, warning that, under such a program, the measure faced delay, said he would call night sessions to speed up its disposition. Pointing out that almost all of the vital provisions of the bill were yet to be acted upon, Senator Smoot called attention also that a conference on the measure would be necessary to adjust differences between the House and Senate. This alone would require two weeks, he predicted. Debate carried into the approaching fight on normal and surtax rates, and while Senator Bruce, Democrat, Maryland, openly left the Democratic ranks to support the Melon surtax rates, Chairman Smoot conceded that there were "probably not enough votes" to gain adoption of this schedule, reinserted in the bill by the finance committee. In this regard, Senator Smoot denied he would negotiate for a compromise on the Melon surtax rates within the Republican party, but said he might offer compromise amendments on the floor, if the treasury rates were turned down, to make the maximum surtax 32 per cent. Beyond this point, he declared, he would not go. World Court Adherents Make Plea Washington.—Advocates of American participation In the permanent court of international justice continued to pour an avalanche of indorsements into the record of the hearings before a sub-committee of the Senate foreign relations committee. Member organizations of the several national groups, whose views were expressed at the first meeting, were given brief opportunity for individual reiteration of their approval. The American Federation of Labor was placed among supporters of American adherence to the court in a statement by President Samuel Gompers. International Trouble Over Argument Manila.—Refusal of two British subjects to permit two Filipinos to sit at the same table with them in Iloilo has led to international complications, it became known with the admission of the British consul here that he was preparing a complaint to the governor general regarding treatment later accorded the Britishers. Governor Montinola of Iloilo in his report on the affair said a fight followed the Britishers' refusal to share their table and that only the intervention of the chief of police prevented the lynching of the two. Butler to Manage Coolidge Campaign Butler to Manage Coolidge Campaign Washington—William M. Butler of Massachusetts will manage the 1924 Republican national campaign and succeed John T. Adams of Iowa as chairman of the Republican committee if President Coolidge is nominated at the Cleveland convention as the Republican standard bearer. Knutson Acquitted of Serious Charge Washington—Representative Harold Knutson of Minnesota, was found not guilty by a jury in Arlington county, Virginia, of serious charges filed against him last March by three Virginia podie officers who arrested him when in an automobile with Leroy M. Hull, a Washington government clerk. The case occupied two days and the jury upon receiving it deliberated little more than an hour, taking three ballots. Immediately upon announcement of the verdict the commonwealth attorney entered a motion dismissing the case against Hull. Knutson, commenting upon the result, declared that it was what he had expected, and that he had been "confident of the outcome right along." Tornado Death Loss 109 Atlanta, Ga.—A revised check of the regions stricken in seven Southeastern states by the most violent wind storms in history, placed the total known dead at 109, more than 500 injured, scores homeless and estimated property damage of more than $10,000,000. Methodists Indorse Dry Amendment Springfield, Mass.—A petition to Congress to permit no modification of the prohibition amendment was approved unanimously by the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church at its meeting here. The resolution, proposed by Judge Charles A. Pollock, delegate from North Dakota, was amended before passage to include a request to the board of bishops for a committee to carry the petition to the judiciary committee of the Senate and ask for a hearing in Congress.

A STEP FORWARD THE IMPRESSIVE services attendant upon the corner stone laying at the Glenarm branch of the Y. M. C. A. last Sunday was one of those epochal events in the upbuilding of a cause that comes on very rare occasions in the life of a community. All Denver was and is interested in a further spread of the great work and ideals of the Y. M. C. A. We think a decided step forward was taken when an official designation of the new building was given, so as to be hereafter known as the Glenarm Branch rather than that of race or color. It was a happy thought on the part of some one, clearly of literating any racial lines, an advance that should always obtain in Christian work. It is readily admitted that there is great need of such a building as is now going up at Twenty-eighth and Glenarm. The laying of the corner stone, amid ceremonies of pomp and dignity, participated in by virile fraternal orders, and by citizens of all races, means much, but the completed building must mean more. The mere assembling of brick and mortar, of concrete and iron; yea, of even fine furnishing and trappings, will have fallen far short of a useful purpose unless all be followed up by a sincere, systematic and Christian program of character building. This will be forthcoming, we are sure, for the building as now being reared, and the corner stone as now laid, represents years of toil and unity of effort that will undoubtedly contribute in priceless volume to the betterment and glory of this community. A BIG MAN FOR A BIG JOB CHARLES W. ANDERSON has long been in the public eye. As collector of internal revenue for the Third New York district he is evidencing that ability for grappling with and handling big business that has always characterized his political life. Mr. Anderson is not new to public service and the fact that he has served under five Presidents with marked distinction, attests unusual ability and conscientious application to duty. No other member of the Negro race holds such a responsible government position, and it is doubtful if a public official of any race enjoys a greater degree of personal popularity. Our chief pride in Mr. Anderson is that he is essentially a business man and never carried away by success. In the conduct of his office he requires the same high type of efficiency, courtesy and devotion to duty that he himself practices at all times. The volume of business that passes through his office is of astounding magnitude, requiring a force of clerks, deputy collectors, etc., of 300 persons. It is well to pause and reflect upon just what lies back of Mr. Anderson's wonderful public record. Holding a position where the collections from income taxes and other sources run up into many millions of dollars, supervising a system of bookkeeping where all accounts balance to a penny, the conclusion is inevitable that there is no well defined line of difference, based on color, so far as actual ability goes. Time was when the Negro held many commanding public positions, and we point with pride to the records made in most cases. In late years, however, a change of heart has been responsible for the adoption of a new policy and it is only in rare instances that our worth, politically or otherwise, has been given substantial recognition. So we may be pardoned if we find it expedient to offer a word of praise in behalf of our so emiently fitted for the responsibility assigned him, as in the case of Chas, W. Anderson. However, to know him at his best one must know him socially. It was our pleasure to be in his company on many occasions at the Republican national convention four years ago in Chicago. He is ever ready with a bon-mot, and never fails to interest any audience he addresses. He is an intense Race man, fearless and upstanding in any crisis. He has not always been understood, but we believe in his present position, Charles Anderson will come into his own as a great big man well fitted to hold a big job. THE COLORADO STATESMAN has for so long been a standard bearer of Republicanism in the Rocky Mountain region that it would hardly seem necessary that we should, at any time, re-announce our policy at the very opening of a national campaign. But of late years Republicanism has been used as a mast by so many to get into office, only to compromise or surrender to demagogic radicals, completely out of harmony with every real principle and ideal of the party of Lincoln, Grant, McKinley and Roosevelt, that a declaration all along the line would serve a useful purpose. So that no one may mistake our attitude, nor misinterpret the things for which we stand, the COLORADO STATESMAN raises the banner of constitutional, representative government as embodied in the true principles of the Republican party as against the doctrines of destructionists whose appeal is to the spirit of envy, class and racial hatred. We stand opposed to the advance of socialism, anarchism and bolshevism in every form, public* or private. We will refuse to support, and are unalterably opposed to a type of Leadership which uses the livery of the Republican party to serve and advance un-Republican causes. The COLORADO STATESMAN is opposed to every form of revolutionary, unreasoning radicalism which would abandon the land marks of representative government and substitute destructive, un-American principles both as affects capital and labor. A foe of sectionalism, of political division based upon class or occupational self-interest, of corruption and intimidation, of the use of great government agencies having the power of life and death over industry, for personal and partisan purposes. An open advocate of the freedom of the ballot and the entire doing away with such dishonest, criminal, political practices as are cloaked under so-called grandfather clauses in Southern states. Also a corresponding reduction of representation in Congress from the South in proportion to its disfranchised citizens. A preacher of the duties as well as the rights of American citizenship; its obligations as well as its opportunities. A believer in the doctrine of the square deal, before and after the election as well as on election day; also appropriate recognition of service to all whose loyalty aided in party success. An advocate of industrial peace, through justice to all elements of American citizenship, and the overthrow of demagogism, with its appeals to class prejudice and hatred; to envy and cupidity, to laziness and disloyalty, to indifference and inefficiency. A champion of a stalwart, unwavering Americanism, which at all times and everywhere throughout the world stands for the protection of the lives and rights of American citizens, on sea or land, on this and other continents; which is for America first, last and all the time, and would sacrifice no just interest of the American people in behalf of any visionary scheme of internationalism; which will devote itself in domestic legislation and administration, and in its diplomacy, to the welfare of America and Americans, backing its words with deeds, and commanding respect for itself in both hemispheres, by deserving, firmly demanding and promptly enforcing that respect where it is not voluntarily yielded. A believer in the Republican party as the natural conservator and administrator of the fundamental traditions and doctrines of historic Americanism, laboring, as the organ of no feud, faction or individual, for the upbuilding of that party, from without and within, as an essential instrumentality for the preservation and progress of the republic in whose history it has written so many splendid pages, and, if true to its traditions, will write many more. "Leads to That Sinister Influence Which Does More to Break Down—" By SENATOR WILLIAM E. BORAH, of Idaho. SO LONG as political parties seeking power or control of the government accept vast contributions from those who are interested in matters of legislation or administration, you will have sinister and corrupt and controlled governments. In these days the government deals with all the vast concerns of business, coal, railroads, ships, oils, tariffs, and it is simply intolerable that political parties accept vast contributions from those vitally interested in these matters. Both political parties have for years placed themselves in an indefensible position in these matters. It all leads to that sinister and subtle influence which does more to break down representative government than any specific instance of open bribe. Besides, the open bribe follows inevitably. Through constitutional means, but in searching and remorseless fashion, let us make the hour of reckoning a memorable one. These days are the agony, but they may also be made the glory of a truly great and self-governing people. War brings waste and extravagance, and then corruption. One of its spawn is corruption in public office. But the people of this country are sound. The government is not corrupt. There are honest and faithful public servants and loyal and patriotic constituents. But I believe that so long as the present system and standards prevail in American politics, regardless of party, you will have conditions no less deplorable. The country was shocked to learn that a large sum of money was given to a high official by a party having business with the government. Well, what have we to say about an individual having business, or expecting to have business, with the government, giving a very large sum of money to the political party which is in control, or is seeking control, of the entire machinery of the government? You can buy influence with a political party quite as effectively as you can an individual. In the latter instance it is still denounced; in the former instance it has become an accepted practice. "I Resolved That I Would Devote My Life to the Prevention of War" By LORD THOMSON, British Air Minister. I joined the Fabian society and the Labor party because I attended the Versailles conference—a brigadier general of the British army—and saw face to face the utter incapacity, folly and dishonesty of the politicians assembled there to dispose of the destinies of the world. I had been in the army twenty-six years, but I had never seen anything like the thick-headedness of the Versailles statesmen. I came away with the conviction that this sort of thing must not happen again. I resolved that I would devote my life to the prevention of war. This, not in spite of my being a soldier—rather because I am a soldier. Soldiers hate war. The best anti-militarists in the world today are to be found among the officers who fought in the late war. But war cannot be prevented by setting up mere agreements or institutions, by organizing an international debating society at Geneva or anywhere else. What we need most of all is not new treaties, but a change of the international mind. Man fights because he wants to. It is this will to fight that we have to combat above all, and we have to do it through education—through what I might call Fabianizing the world. It is the futility of war even more than its immorality and wickedness that we must bring home to the masses—so that they can bring it home to their rulers. There Are Several Main Reasons Why the Men Pull Out and Leave Home There are several main causes why men leave home. Pay checks don't go as far as they used to. The man remonstrates, gets mad and pulls out. The family may have increased. Costs may be higher, but the man doesn't understand; and when conditions become unbearable off he goes. Lack of understanding on the part of the wife makes it worse. There is a case where a smile, coming out of the difficulties of the home, would go a long way to straighten out matters. It is then our business to put the family on a budget to show the woman how to make a dollar go as far as possible, to spend the money wisely. We bring the man home, bring his money back into the house, and then work to have conditions better inside the home for the family. Another cause is the "sick wife." We care for the woman, give her hospital or medical attention if necessary, clean up the house and the children and try to make the place more attractive to the man. Back of all is the necessity of human understanding. We always find that where the woman is good-natured, where she is inclined to smile a bit, there is less inclination on the part of the man to quit and run. "Shipmates Did Say That Allen Was What You Might Call a Tough Man" By JAMES B. CONNELLY, in World's Work. I knew a man named Allen who was capsized one winter day with his dory mate. Allen's mate clung to the bottom of the dory and there froze to death. Allen, who had decided early that he was not going to freeze to death in the same way, dropped overboard, reached under water for the dory painter, passed it up through the ring in the bow, adjusted it to such a length that he could stand in the bight of it, took a couple of half hitches to secure it in the ring, and there hung, with his body immersed to his chin. He figured that the water would not be as cold as the northwestern winter wind. After eight hours under water he was picked up by his vessel. We may think it a wonderful thing that he lived through that; the really wonderful thing was that it did not occur to him that he was entitled to lie in his bunk a while after what he had gone through. A shipmate fell sick and there was Allen on deck early next morning to take the sick man's place in a dory. He had had a good night's sleep and a couple of good meals—why should he stay loafing aboard? He went out in the dory. Shipmates did say Allen that he was what you might call a tough man.

(Prepared by the United States Department ed frequently to rem of Agriculture) Most fresh fruits and vegetables need to be kept clean, well ventilated and, if possible, at a temperature between 60 degrees and 40 degrees F. These conditions help to prevent spoilage by wilting and by molds, bacteria and yeasts, and to check ripening changes. Fresh fruits and vegetables are living materials, even after they are picked from the plant or the soil where they grew, and certain substances, called enzymes, continue to work in the cells and bring about ripening. From the standpoint of edible quality, there is a certain stage of ripeness when every fruit and vegetable is considered prime, and the care it receives in the home oftentimes is very important in maintaining this period or in handling foods that have passed it. Sort Over Frequently. To prevent single pieces of decayed fruit or vegetables from infecting others in the same container the United States Department of Agriculture suggests, in a new Farmers' Bulletin, 1374, "Care of Food in the Home," that fruits and vegetables stored in boxes, barrels and bins should be sort- (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Clothes moths deposit their eggs, which hatch into fabric-eating larvae, at almost any season of the year, but with the increase of warm weather in the spring they may become more visibly active and their eggs will hatch more rapidly. In steam-heated buildings conditions are at all times nearly as favorable to clothes moths as dur- MILITARY CLOTHING Carefully Kept Closet ing summer weather. The housekeeper must not only watch the family clothing while it is in use, but make especially intelligent preparation for preventing damage by clothes moths at the season when she begins to store away woolen clothing, furs, rugs and blankets. The United States Department of Agriculture has a very comprehensive bulletin, F. B. 1353, Clothes Moths and Their Control, which will be sent for the asking. This describes in detail various ways of protecting articles by such means as careful wrapping in unbroken paper, using naphthalene flakes or balls, and other preparations which give off fumes, cold storage, fumigation, putting in cedar chests and other methods. Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the value of frequent brushing, beating, sunning and cleaning articles subject to clothes-moth attack. The eggs of clothes moths are delicate and can usually be crushed or dislodged by brushing and beating. Pay special attention to crevices, seams and pockets. Sunning is a valuable aid in control work. In articles laid away moths are much more likely to concentrate upon soiled spots if these have not been removed. Brushing and beating usually remove or kill the larvae or worms. If clothing is thoroughly ed frequently to remove decayed ones. The commercial practice of wrapping oranges, apples and other fruits, and sometimes choice vegetables, in separate papers is in some cases worth following in the home. The wrappers prevent the fruits from bruising each other, and also keep the skins from touching and so offering a favorable place for the growth of molds. Soft fruits, such as berries, peaches, plums and pears should, if possible, be spread out on clean wrapping paper or in shallow pans or platters rather than kept in deep receptacles. All vegetables and fruits, especially those to be eaten raw, should be thoroughly washed before use as a protection to health as well as for the sake of general cleanliness. The loss of flavor and texture is very slight, even in such thin-skinned fruits as strawberries, provided they are not allowed to stand in the water and are drained thoroughly, and lettuce and other salad plants are made crisper and more attractive. Lifting them from the water rather than draining it off is an effective way of freeing these foods from grit and dirt, or washing them in running water is perhaps best of all. brushed every two-weeks, it is doubtful if moths can affect it seriously. Carpets and rugs cleaned by strong vacuum cleaners and thoroughly brushed on both sides, or electrically cleaned, are freed from infestation if the work is properly done. Clothing dry-cleaned is also freed from infestation by the process. Once freed from infestation, clothes should be protected, if they are not to be used during the warm season, by being immediately wrapped in paper or placed in tight chests or treated closets. The public is familiar with "moth-proof" paper bags of various types that appear upon the market each summer. These bags, if not torn and if properly used, are excellent for keeping moths from reaching clothing. They are of no value in killing moths that may be in the clothing when it is placed in the bag, and those made of plain paper are just as good as those containing tar. The value of such bags as protectors against infestation ceases largely as soon as they are torn, even slightly, or are left unscaled. Ordinary firm wrapping paper is satisfactory, or several thicknesses of newspapers will serve. Clothes moths do not eat into paper to reach clothing. For this reason, if woolens and other fabrics subject to moth attack are cleaned and freed from moths by any of the methods mentioned, above, they will remain safe if wrapped at once and tightly in several thicknesses of firm wrapping paper or in newspapers. There is a general belief that the print on newspapers keeps moths away. This is not true. Any paper of moderate thickness and unbroken will protect clothing. Care must be exercised to bend back the folds of the paper upon themselves at the ends of the bundles so that the moths cannot crawl into the bundler at the ends. After clothing has been made into bundles or sealed in boxes, these bundles and boxes may be left exposed in garrets or on storeroom shelves without danger of infestation from without. If flake naphthalene is wrapped among the folds of clothing made into bundles, any small larvae that may have got into the cloth before it was wrapped will be killed. The main point about using naphthalene flakes or any substance that is expected to kill moth larvae by giving off fumes is that the bundle, trunk or container must be absolutely tight in order to confine the fumes or they will not be effective. OF INTEREST TO THE HOUSEWIFE A mop wringer saves manicure worries. Use silk thread when basting on silk, velvet or cloth. It will not leave an impression under the iron. Cotton thread does. A good sauce is an addition to many dishes, without which the dish itself would be unpalatable. Spanish Sauce. — This is a delicious sauce to serve with cold roast beef, veal, lamb chops—in fact, with any kind of meat or fish. Put into a saucepan two tablespoonfuls of butter, one of olive oil, a few dashes of salt, one onion, a clove of garlic, half a green or red pepper, all finely chopped. When this is all brown add a pint of tomatoes and simmer twenty minutes. Season with paprika, a few drops of tabasco and a tablespoonful of worcestershire sauce. Breakfast Mackerel. — Soak salt mackerel skin side up until the fish is fresh enough to bake. Place in a dripping pan, cover with thin cream, season with pepper and bake twenty to thirty minutes. Serve with baked potatoes. This makes a fine New England breakfast. Lettuce With Columbia Dressing. — Remove the outside leaves from a head of lettuce, wash and chill in cold water, drain and dry in a towel. Arrange in a salad bowl in its original shape and pour over the dressing; mix one teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of mustard, one-half teaspoonful of onion juice, one tablespoonful of worcestershire sauce, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and six tablespoonfuls of olive oil. Put into a small fruit jar and let stand in a cold place; shake well before using. India Curry.—Wipe a slice of veal, weighing one and one-half pounds, and cook in a frying pan, without butter, searing well on both sides. Cut into one and one-half-inch pieces. Fry two sliced onions in one-half cupful of butter until the onions are a light brown; remove them and add the butter to the meat, with one-half tablespoonful of curry powder, then cover with boiling water. Cook slowly until the meat is tender. Thicken with flour, mixed with a little cold water; add one teaspoonful of vinegar. Serve with the sauce poured around the meat. DISHES THAT ARE SEASONABLE For those who are fond of pie, the following is a good recipe: Chicken Pie.—Put a fowl weighing four to five pounds into a kettle of boiling water, add one small onion, two bay leaves, and simmer until tender. Celery instead of the bay leaves may be added if that seasoning chicken is well done cut the meat into inch squares and put a layer into the bottom of a baking dish, then a layer of diced potatoes, a dusting of salt and pepper; repeat until the chicken and a pint of the cubed potatoes have been used. Rub two tablespoonfuls of butter with three tablespoonfuls of flour, add one teaspoonful of salt and a pint of the chicken broth; stir until boiling and pour over the chicken. Cover with a rich biscuit dough crust, leaving a good-sized opening for the steam to escape and bake an hour or long enough to cook the potatoes. A short time before it is served add a half-cupful of cream, pouring it through a funnel into the pie. A few oysters or mushrooms will improve the flavor, but eare should be taken not to over-cook them. Chicken Tapioca Soup.—Cook a fat fowl in boiling water until tender, remove the meat from the bones and reserve for salad or creamed chicken. Cool the stock and skim the fat, save it for shortening for cookies. Pour one and one-half cupfuls of boiling water over one-half cupful of tapioca. Simmer until the tapioca is transparent. To the chicken stock add one-half of a chopped onion, three allspice berries, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt, a dash of pepper; cook for fifteen minutes, strain and add one cupful of milk. Take two tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour, cook until well blended, then pour over the soup. Add the tapioca and pour over one cupful of cream. Heat again and serve at once. A beaten egg or two may be added with the cream, making a more nourishing soup. Barbecued Ham.—Soak two thin slices of ham in lukewarm water half an hour. Drain, wipe, cook in a hot frying pan until brown. To the fat in the pan add two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, one teaspoonful of mustard, paprika and one-half teaspoonful of sugar. When thoroughly heated pour over the ham. O may I steal Along the vale. Of humble life, secure from foes! My friend sincere. My judgment clear. And gentle business my repose. —Edward Young. Spanish Sauce. — This is a delicious sauce to serve with cold roast beef, veal, lamb chops—in fact, with any kind of meat or fish. Put into a saucepan two tablespoonfuls of butter, one of olive oil, a few dashes of salt, one onion, a clove of garlic, half a green or divine Rolls through the dark blue depths Beneath her steady ray The desert circle spreads. Like the round ocean, girdled with the sky, Like the ocean, grilled with the sky. How beautiful is night. Chicken Pie. — Put a fowl weighing four to five pounds into a kettle of boiling water, add one small onion, two bay leaves, and slimmer until tender. Celery instead of the bay leaves may be added if that seasoning is not liked. When the The Kitchen Cabinet "A kindly deed Is a little seed, That groweth all unseen; And lo, when none Do look thereon, Anew it springeth green." A discarded safety razor blade is a fine thing to scrape paint from windows as well as to use to rlp with WASHINGTON Corn which refuses to pop will often do so if sprinkled lightly with water before popping. When roasting pork, slit it at intervals and insert pieces of tart apple. This not only improves the flavor of the meat but gives a delicious flavor to the gravy. When salting almonds use olive oil instead of butter. It gives them a very delightful flavor. Candy animals may be made from the celluloid forms to be bought at the ten-cent store. Separate the animal with a sharp knife along the seam. Fill with any candy mixture after giving the mould a greasing with butter. In a few minutes it will be ready to unmould. These will delight the small children. Keep cress, mint, parsley or any of the green herbs, after washing well, in a mason jar. Seal and set in the ice box or in a cool place. They will keep fresh and crisp for a week. The old fruit jar rubbers together in the form of a mat to use in the sink to save the scratching of the enamel when using the dish pan. These mats may be used (made smaller) for supporting dishes on ice. Cream of tartar and a soft brush with water will clean filgree jewelry. When making a layer cake with a soft filling, to keep the layers from sliding stick tooth plics through the layers to hold them in place until the iceing is set. A pair of day pillows for the bed will always keep the bed fresh and attractive looking. For a quick salad dressing beat up any eggs left over—either whites or yolks as many or few as one has—add equal quantities of mild vinegar and cook until thick. Add such seasonings as is desired for the salad to be made, thinning with a little cream when mixing. When rendering lard try putting it through the meat grinder after removing as much as possible of the connecting tissue. There will be much less waste and it will try out quicker. The market man will do this for you at small cost if you request it. Before roasting the leg of lamb place it in a kettle with one-fourth of a cupful of rice, a seasoning of salt, pepper, parsley and celery, add two quarts of water and simmer one hour. Remove and roast as usual. The broth makes delicious soup. Serene will be our days and bright, And happy will our nature be, When love is an unerring light, And joy its own security. —Wordsworth. Rich desserts and candies should not be given the growing child. Their love for sweets may be satisfied by a few dates, figs, prunes and such fresh fruit as the season furnishes. Their desserts should be simple and easy of digestion. may be satisfied by a few dates, figs, prunes and such fresh fruit as the season furnishes. Their desserts should be simple and easy of digestion. Oatmeal Bread.—Add two cupfuls of boiling water to one cupful of oatmeal and let stand for one hour; add one cupful of molasses, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-half of a yeast cake dissolved in one-half cupful of lukewarm water and four cupfuls of bread flour; let rise, beat thoroughly, turn into buttered bread pans, let rise again and bake. Mock Angel Cake.—Mix and sift one cupful of sugar, one and one-third cupfuls of flour, three teaspoonfuls of baking powder and one-third teaspoonful of salt, four times. Pour on gradually while stirring constantly two-thirds of a cupful of scalding hot milk. Fold in the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs and add one teaspoonful of vanilla. Turn into an unbuttered angel cake pan and bake in a moderate oven forty minutes. Puffed Rice Brittle.—Cook until smooth in an omelet pan one cupful of sugar until clear and brown, stir into the stirup one cupful of puffed rice and pour onto a greased plate to cool. Mark off into squares and break. Puffed wheat or popped corn may be used in place of the rice. With the addition of a few nuts one has a richer confection. Graham crackers put together, with peanut butter, with a glass of milk make a good lunch for a child. The crackers alone with the milk will be often all that is needed. Fish Kedgeree.—Take a pint of cold cooked fish well flaked, add two chopped, hard-cooked egg whites, season with salt, pepper, onion juice and a little kitchen bouquet; add a cupful of hot-cooked rice seasoned with three, tablespoonfuls of butter, mix well, pile in a hot dish and sprinkle with riced egg yolks.

WARM-WEATHER DAY-FROCKS; SIMPLE STYLES IN GIRLS' COATS THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY DAY-FROCKS IN MANY SORTS OF FABRICS epes and to those handsome new THE warm-weather frock, for any time of day, has chosen to restrict itself, in the matter of design, to simple and straight lines—thus it makes a good beginning. Having practiced so much restraint in this direction it finds compensation in an almost unlimited choice of fabrics and casts about for clever devices for varying its simplicity. To this end it adopts cape and scarf attachments, tunels, flat draperies, godets and combinations of two materials. It divides allegiance between the long and the short sleeve, DAY-FROCKS IN MAN with long ones in the majority and made in several styles. Wool, silk and cotton fabrics all contribute their utmost in beautiful weaving, toward the success of the unassuming but distinctive dress for summer days. Silk crepes, in unending variety, plain and printed, appear to lead in point of popularity. There are lovely new weaves in fiber silk, also to be reckoned with, and all the lightweight wool in wool crepes, channel, challies and the like. Then comes an army of cottons, ranging from ratine to voile, so that there is no lack of diversity in smart day frocks. It would be hard to find a better exponent of the mode in day dresses than that which appears in the accompanying picture. This design is adapted to any of the supple silks and ```markdown ``` crepes and to those handsome new knitted weaves of silk fiber. The scarf attached, starting with a little pocket and ending with one, is a telling touch of smart up-to-dateness in which the small pockets are practical and utilize a plain dark satin or corded ribbon, with a buttoned-down flap made of the dress material. This combination of materials reappears in the cuffs. Two colors in plain flannel have been used in this way and in other clever developments of the attached scarf idea. Plaited georgette finds frequent use in combination with heavier crepes, or making the summer day frock. It appears in godets, undersleeves, cuffs and cape attachments. This combination of georgette with other materials and the use of two colors in one material, or of plain and printed patterns together, affords a means of converting old frocks into new ones. In a season when diversity seems to be the main concern of the mode it is refreshing to find designers single-minded about anything—and more particularly about little girls' belongings. Except in the case of suits, "no two alike" appears to be fashion's slogan for women's outer apparel, but for children this does not apply—there the main ambition seems to be to make little girls' clothes "little girlish." There are many pretty frocks and coats, as like as peas in a pod—individualism is not something to be sought after for children. In fabrics and colors the bulk of coats for children look much the same as those for their elders, but in coats a greater proportion of lively colors is Y SORTS OF FABRICS noted. Among the tans, light browns, grays and belge shades there is a generous sprinkling of rose and of green in the lighter tones. Nearly all the models are very simple, straight-line and without decorations other than groups of tucks, or a little narrow braid put on in the simplest ways. More than the average of adornment appears in the model shown here for a child of eight years and upward. It is made of a plain twill cloth in a tan shade and has groups of tucks on the front and sleeves. Scarf ends attached to the collar is a concession the designer has made to the furore for scarfs in grown-up's togs and there are slit pockets at each side finished with bands of the twill. Only two buttons are used, but again the designer is governed by the mode and nas A COAT MADE OF PLAIN TWILL chosen large and handsome specimens of the button maker's art. Buttons are few but vastly important. Little Curly Locks looks well in this cleverly designed coat and a soft, plain hat with a wayward brim and irresponsible crown which might be of silk, light felt or fine straw braid. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
