THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY WAR DEPT. REPORTS TO N. A. A. C. P. ALL HOUSTON MAR TYRS GET REDUCED SENTENCES 10 Life Termers Eligible for Release Within a Year VOL. XXX WAR DEPT. REPO N. A. A. C. P. ALL TYRS GET RI 18 Long Term Men to 10 Life Termers Eligible New York, May 16.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, today made public a letter from John W. Weeks, U. S. secretary of war, reporting that the prison sentences of every former member of the Twenty-fourth Infantry still imprisoned for alleged participation in the Houston riot of 1917, had been reduced, and that, according to the present revisions of sentence, every one of the men will have been eligible for release over a period from now until three years and seven months from now. The letter from the secretary of war to the N. A. A. C. P. is as follows: WAR DEPARTMENT WASHINGTON Ag 253, 1 (5-12-24) Pris. May 13, 1924. Mr. Walter White, Assistant Secretary, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York City, N. Y.: Dear Sir: In harmony with the understanding with you, I am furnishing you the following information relative to the so-called Houston rioters: Of the fifty-four of these men who were in confinement in the penitentiary when the board of officers visited that institution, thirty were serving life sentences. As the result of the recommendations of the board of officers, made after a most careful and exhaustive investigation and consideration of each case on its individual merits, ten of the thirty men under life sentences have received reductions in their sentences that will make them eligible for release on home parole during the calendar year 1925; and the remaining twenty have received reductions from life to thirty years, which will make sixteen of them eleigible for home parole in 1927, and four of them eligible for home parole in 1928. In passing upon these cases great weight was laid upon the evidence presented at the trial and the conduct in confinement of the prisoners concerned; and the investigation showed that the men whose sentences were reduced to thirty years were the more deeply involved in the affair, and had the poorer records of conduct in confinement. Of the other twenty-four prisoners involved in the Houston riot, serving sentences of less than life at the time of the investigation of the board, eighteen are eligible for parole during the calendar year 1924, and six will be eligible for home parole in 1925. As this recent investigation has resulted in reductions in sentences in every case of the so-called Houston rioters, with the exception of six who are eligible for parole not later than August, 1924, and as the latest date (under the modified sentences) on which any prisoner will become eligible for home parole is August, 1928, is considered that the War Department has been most liberal in its treatment of the prisoners. Under a rule of the War Department governing the subject, the cast of ev- --- ery military prisoner is considered for clemency at least once each year; and neither the recent investigation by the board of officers, nor any action taken upon its recommendation, will preclude the consideration annually of the case of each one of the prisoners involved. In making public this report, the N. A. A. C. P. made the following statement: "To summarize the above letter the facts, in brief, are: 18 of the Houston Martyrs are eligible for immediate release; 16 of them—10 serving life sentences and 6 long terms—will be eligible for release within a year; 16 will be eligible for release early in 1927; and the remaining four early in 1928, or three years and seven months from now. The men were committed to Leavenworth prison in December, 1917, and have thus served six years and five months. "While the results obtained thus far are not all for which the N. A. A. C. P. and co-operating agencies hoped and worked for, nevertheless there is cause for rejoicing in that those who have the longest sentences yet to serve have only three years and seven months." "The N. A. A. C. P. and those agencies which worked so faithfully in this effort yet feel that full pardon which was asked for should have been granted these men. It will be noted from Secretary Weeks' letter that these cases are to be reviewed annually. The N. A. A. C. P. is gratified at the results secured. At the same time it will continue its efforts for further reductions of sentence." N. Y.'s New Asst. State's Attorney N. Y.'s New Asst. State's Attorney New York, May 15.—Civil Service Commissioner Ferdinand Q. Morton announced last week the appointment of Attorney Cornellus W. McDougald as special deputy attorney general of the state of New York at a salary of $6,000 per annum. Mr. McDougald has been assigned to investigating corporations which have been reaping a rich harvest by the selling of bogus stock. His appointment is gratifying to colored Democrats because it is regarded as evidence of the continuance of the policy of the late Charles F. Murphy, Tammany leader, who by his recognition of colored men in appointing them to high official positions practically wrecked the Republican party among colored people as he had previously wrecked it among whites. Mr. McDougald is a graduate of Lincoln and New York University Law school. He will continue his private practice as well. State Hist & Nut Hist Society State House GEO. W.

Among these will be a trip through England, Ireland, Scotland, visits to Paris and over the world war battlefields. Denver friends of Mr. Bixler will be proud to know that he is to enjoy such a well earned vacation, and none wishes him greater happiness on the trip than does the COLORADO STATESMAN.

Many distinguished men will speak before the convention, among whom will be Premier McDonald, Winston Churchill, Frank W. Kellogg, American ambassador to Great Britain and David Lloyd George. Move to Stop Calling Train Porters "George" (Wreston News Service) Washington, D. C., May 14.—It is said that one of the most popular organizations in Washington of a "non-partisan and non-political" nature is the Society for the Prevention of Calling Pullman Porters "George." It is claimed that the society had its inception in Chicago, but now has 100 members in Washington, among them being Georges in the Senate—Senators Pepper, Norris, Moses and McCumber, as well as Senator Walter F. George. The patron of the society, whose name appears on the back of the membership card, is George Washington. Honorary members are Georges Clemenceau and George M. Cohan. The aim of the society, it is said, is to get 100,000 members whose first or last name is George. Each must pledge himself to discourage the practice of giving the name of George to the car porters. --- Bishop Carey's Son Wins Prize For Speaking Chicago, Ill., May 15.—(By A. N. P.)—Archibald J. Carey, a student in Wendell Phillips high school and son of Bishop and Mrs. A. J. Carey, was awarded first place and a prize of $1,000.00 in the district oratorical contest for high school students held here Saturday night. These contests are being held all over the United States among high school students. Winning the contest last evening marks him as the first orator of the High Schools in Illinois, Michigan, Iowa and all of Indiana north of Indianapolis. It will also give him the right to compete this Friday evening in Chicago, against representatives who were chosen at the same time in similar contests in Indianapolis, Buffalo, Huntington, W. Va., Louisville, Ky., and Cincinnati, Ohio. This next contest will be known as the central zone contest and the winner will be given the honor of representing the entire zone in the national competition at Washington, D. C. 166,000 East Indians Give South Africa "Fits" Pretoria, South Africa, May 1.—The 166,000 East Indians now in South Africa must either submit to segregation or be deported. This is the view of Sir Abe Bailey, speaking in the House of Assembly during the debate on the second reading of the seregation bill. Whites in South Africa are aroused at the rapid increase of East Indians among the population. According to Sir Abe there are at present 166,000 Indians, 6,000,000 native blacks and 1,500,000 whites in South Africa. He estimates in ten years time 19,000,000 native blacks, 3,500,000 whites and several million East Indians. Through their ability to live more cheaply, Sir Abe declared East Indians are taking most of the store trade away from the whites. "Asiatic trading is on the increase in the Western Transvaal. At the Klerksdorp there are fifteen European traders with a turnover of 88,410 pounds and twenty Asiatics with a turnover of 74,919 pounds. "In Johnnesburg, 2,000 hawkers' licenses are given to Asiatics. It is said on behalf of these people that they are treated like dogs. Well, most of their ancestors came here with a bootlace round their loins. (Laughter.)" "The Asiatics are a menace to the authority and the supremacy of the white races in South Africa. If equal social and economic rights were granted to the Asiatics in this country, we should be placing razors in their hands to cut our throats." "The time has come to set aside all kinds of hypocrisy and cant, and we must tell the Indian that he is not a portion of South Africa—he is an absolute stranger, and if he wants to remain here he must conform to the views and ideals of the white people, and if he does not want to do that he must be segregated or go back to his own country." Colored Woman Put on "Y" Board New York, May 15.—For the first time in the history of the Young Women's Christian Association, a colored woman, Mrs. George E. Haynes, of this city, has been elected a resident member of the national board. This action was taken near the closing of the eighth biennial convention last week. As a member of the national board Mrs. Haynes will have as her associates and co-workers some of the leading women of the world. Mrs. Haynes, whose husband, Dr. George E. Haynes, is at present the secretary of the interracial commission of the Federated Council of Churches in America, is a graduate of Fisk University. She taught in the Summer High school, St. Louis, Mo., and was at one time principal of the normal department of the State Normal School, Montgomery, Ala. She was the first colored woman to serve as secretary to the national board of the Y. W. C. A. She holds a master's degree from Columbia University. Mrs. Haynes is closely identified with the Manhattan (colored branch) of the Y. W. C. A. in this city. In addition she is the author of "Unung Heroes," a collection of biographical sketches of noted Negroes. NO.32 Mob Makes Man Sell His Home Piedmont, Cal. May 16.—Sustaining the objection of the West End Improvement Club to a citizen of Color residing on Wildwood Ave., an exclusive residential section of Piedmont, the home of Sidney Bearing, West Oakland business man, was surrounded by a mob of 500 citizens who demanded that he sell his property at 67 Wildwood Ave. and move from the neighborhood. According to the records the property was once owned by J. Edward and Emma Little (white), who on Jan. 21, 1924, sold it to Mrs. Julia Davis, mother-in-law of Bearing. Mrs. Davis later sold the property to her son-in-law and he moved into his new home. As soon as the West End Improvement Club learned of the transfer and that Bearing was living there an option on his home was demanded. This was refused and he was told by a committee that his owning a home in Piedmont would not be permitted. A realty broker visited Bearing and he was told a second time that he must give the improvement club an option on his property. The Piedmont citizens were angry, the broker explained, but Bearing refused to consent. As a last resort the citizens held a meeting and decided to storm the Bearing home. They gathered a force of 500, surrounded the place and called Bearing to come out. George Nellis and B. A. Stuart, spokesmen for the mob, told Bearing he must sell and get out. "Give me time to think it over," Bearing requested. His request was refused. An immediate answer was demanded. The crowd threatened him until this was given. Bearing finally promised to call the next day at the home of Nellis, 3555 Jerome St., to negotiate the sale of the property. THREE NEW A. M. E. BISHOPS NAMED Rev. Ransom, New York, A. L. Gaines, Baltimore, and J. A. Gregg, Wilberforce, Ohio Louisville, Ky., May 15.—A. L. Gaines of Baltimore, James A. Gregg of Wilberforce, Ohio, and Reverdy Ransom of New York were elected bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal church after balloting lasting all day Tuesday. The Rev. Gaines was elected on the first ballot and the Rev. Ransom and Rev. Gregg were chosen on the second ballot. Brother of Local Man Bishop-elect Gregg is president of Wilberforce University at Wilberforce, Ohio, and is a brother of G. Archibald Gregg, secretary of the Paseo Y. M. C., A. Mr. Gregg lives in Kansas City, Kan., is attending the conference as a lay delegate from the Fifth district. John R. Hawkins was re-elected financial secretary after making one of the greatest reports in the history of the church. Ira T. Bryant was re-elected secretary of the Sunday School union by an overwhelming majority. The efficient administration of his department as indicated by his report literally swept him into office. FOREIGN Dispatches received in Constantinople reports that further earthquake shocks have been felt at Erzerum, Hassan Kale and Kars. Entire villages in the neighborhood of Hassan Kale are said to have been destroyed. The number of additional victims is given as 120. Ambassador Hanlara may be "permitted to resign" his Washington post shortly, Foreign Minister Matsul told newspaper men in Tokio. The minister's statement was made to a gathering of representatives of the Japanese press after today's cabinet meeting, at which he admitted the subject had been discussed. The statement was the result of insistent inquiries. President Millerand of France now is the object of almost the entire attention of the radical and Socialist press, which, in the absence of indications as to how the three parties of the successful coalition are going to be able to profit from their victory and what their program is going to be, insistently demand that the chief magistrate of the republic give way to a new man. In reply to the demand of the Nationalists that the government resign, it was semi-officially announced in Berlin that the government has resolved not to retire until the rechstag assemblies. It is the government's view that it must continue to represent the nation in the discussions on the experts' reports and must prepare the necessary decrees to put the report into effect. On the initiative of War Minister Trotzky, who is constantly warning the Russians to prepare defensive measures, a special campaign is being inaugurated throughout the country urging upon the people the necessity of spreading knowledge of chemical warfare. A voluntary society will be organized for the development of the chemical industry as a means or defense. The meeting in Milan, Italy, of Premier Mussolini of Italy with Premier Theunis and Foreign Minister Hymans of Belgium has been satisfactorily concluded, the representatives of both nations agreeing that the Dawes report must be applied without delay and that an interallied conference on the subject was advisable as soon as preliminary discussions were sufficiently advanced. Five men named in a Free State proclamation as having been responsible for the attack at Queenstown on a party of British soldiers March 21, have sent to Dublin newspapers a statement denying the charge and declaring the government issued the proclamation to justify it in shooting them if they were captured. They declare they have been "on the run" for two years as officers of the Cork Republican brigade. GENERAL The L. C. Smith typewriter factory at Syracuse, N. Y., was badly wrecked by an explosion of unknown cause recently. The federal grand jury in Newark, N. J., which has been investigating transportation of the Dempsey-Carpentier fight films, returned indictments against Tex Rickard and six other men.

Gray, their attorney, withdrew his motion for a new trial. Transmission of photographs from Cleveland to New York over an ordinary telephone wire was successfully accomplished recently by engineers of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, it was announced in Cleveland, O.. The test was the result of weeks of experimenting. Eddie Collins, star second baseman of the Chicago Americans, has been put in charge of the club as acting manager. He succeeds Johnny Evers, who was operated upon at his home in Troy, N. Y., for appendicitis. Evers succeeded Frank Chance as the season opened, making Collins the third pilot of the White Sox this year. A large section of the Union stockyards in Chicago was threatened by fire which broke out in the Union Stockyards and Transit Company's hay barn, destroyed thousands of tons of hay and was rapidly spreading as six special alarms called in all nearby fire apparatus. A strong breeze fanned the flames and made further spreading of the fire probable. No loss of life was reported. The price of gasoline in Omaha was cut $3\frac{1}{4}$ cents to 17 cents a gallon by the Standard Oil Company and the Nicholas Oil Corporation, with statements the reduction was made "to meet existing competition in Omaha." Their action was followed by a statement by City Commissioner John Hopkins, who has been selling gasoline at a municipal station for 17 cents, that he could cut his price to 15 cents. A few minor clashes, none of which are of a serious nature, with persons out of sympathy with the klan, marked the gathering in South Bend, Ind., of members of the Ku Klux Klan from a number of northern Indiana, eastern Illinois and southern Michigan districts. The klansmen met for a demonstration, but the meeting was said to have been poorly attended and a parade was called off. The three United States army airplanes have arrived in Minato, Japan, from Yetorofu island on their flight around the world. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD DURING THE PAST WEEK DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE WESTERN Lleut, Gov. Jose A. DeBaca of New Mexico died at his home in Las Vegas a few days ago. He was taken sick Tuesday and developed pneumonia.

Burglaries entered the Great Northern station at Belt, Mont, knocked the dial off the safe with a sledge, blew open the safe with nitro and carried away the entire cash contents—53 copper pennies—the agent having deposited the receipts earlier in the day and left only the 53 cents. There is no clew to the identity of the burglars. The dead bodies of Agnes Black, a divorcee, and Robert M. Snyder, a watchman, each with bullet wounds in the head, were found in Snyder's apartment in a downtown rooming house in Seattle. Deputy County Coroner Howard F. McDonald, after an investigation, said Snyder had evidently shot the woman and then taken his own life. Unrequited love, he said, appeared to have prompted Snyder's act. Flames and smoke are belching from the crater of a volcano, supposedly extinct for centuries near the Colorado line in New Mexico, according to automobile travelers reaching Walsenburg, Colo., from the South. The eruption is said to be from a cone near the Raton pass. The travelers did not go near enough the eruption to ascertain whether lava or ash was being thrown from the old crater, but declared smoke was issuing from a fissure in the ground near Folsom, New Mexico. Officials of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company at Denver have received instructions from the American Telephone and Telegraph Company to submit license blanks to all owners of commercial radio broadcasting stations in this territory with a view to eliminating infringements on the company's patents.

A number of suits recently were instituted by the company to protect its patents affecting radio telephone broadcasting, and each decision so far rendered has been in favor of the telephone company. WASHINGTON Republican members of the Senate foreign relations committee were told by President Coolidge at a White House conference that his position with reference to the world court question was the same as indicated in his message on the subject and in various statements since made. William M. Butler, manager of President Coolidge's preconvention campaign, has issued a statement declaring 948 delegates to the Republican national convention have been selected who are instructed or favorable to the nomination of Mr. Coolidge. The number necessary for a choice is 555. The statement gave Senator Hiram Johnson fifteen delegates. Edward B. McLean, editor and publisher of the Washington Post, has issued the following announcement: "I have much pleasure in announcing that I have arranged with George Harvey, former United States ambassador to Great Britain, to become editorial director of the Washington Post on June 1." It is estimated that 3,038,283 veterans will be entitled to the insurance policies provided by the soldier bonus bill, while 389,583 will be paid cash of $50 or less. The bill also provides for payment to dependents of deceased veterans of the amount of adjusted service compensation to which they should be entitled. Forest fires which have been raging in northern Montana are reported as being under control. Favorable weather and an absence of wind enabled fire fighters to confine the fires to areas which had been partly burned over. Reports from Whitefish and Kalispell indicate that the fires, which have destroyed several thousand acres of timber have been checked and that no more ranchers had been driven from their homes. The federal grand jury in Montana was justified in returning an indictment against Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of that state, in the opinion of Senator Sterling, Republican, South Dakota, who submitted a minority report to the Senate in his capacity as a member of the special committee which investigated the incident. Cyrus E. Woods, American ambassador to Japan, has tendered his resignation to President Coolidge and asked to be relieved of his duties at Tokio as soon as the president can conveniently replace him.

D. 1812 The greatest of modern adventurers, Napoleon Bonaparte, was something short of a gentleman, a person of mean build, coarse tastes, odious manners and defective courage, yet gifted with Satanic beauty of face, charm that bewitched all fighting men, stupendous genius in war and government. Beginning as a penniless lieutenant of French artillery; he rose to be captain, colonel, general, commander-in-chief, consul of France, emperor of the French, master of Europe, almost conqueror of the world—and he was still only thirty-three years of age when, at the height of his glory, he invaded Russia. His army of invasion was gathered from all his subject nations—Germans, Swiss, Italians, Poles, Austrians, numbering more than half a million men, an irresistible and overwhelming force, launched like a shell into the heart of Russia. The Russian army could not hope to defeat Napoleon, was routed again and again in attempting to check his advance, yet in retreating laid the country waste, burned all the standing harvest, drove away the cattle, left the towns in ashes. Napoleon's host marched through a desert, while daily, by waste of battle, wreckage of men left with untended wounds, horrors of starvation, and wolf-like hordes of Cossacks who cut off all the stragglers, the legions were swept away. In Lithuania alone Napoleon lost a hundred thousand men, and that only a fourth part of those who perished before the army reached the gates of Moscow. That old city, hallowed by centuries of brave endeavor, stored with the spoils of countless victories, that holy place at the very sight of which the Russian traveler prostrated himself in prayer, had been made ready for Napoleon's coming. Never has any nation prepared so awful a sacrifice as that which wrenched a million people from their homes. The empty capital was left in charge of a few officers, then all the convicts were released and provided with torches. Every vestige of food had been taken away, but the gold, the gems, the silver, the precious things of treasuries, churches and palaces, remained as bait. Despite the horrors of the march, Napoleon's entry was attended by all the gorgeous pageantry of the Grand Army, a blaze of gold and color, conquered Europe at the heels of the little Corsican adventurer with waving flags and triumphal music. The cavalry found cathedrals for stabling, the guard had palaces for barracks, where they could lie at ease through the winter; but night after night the great buildings burst into flames, day after day the foraging parties were caught in labyrinths of blazing streets, and the army stalled on a diet of wine and gold in the burning capital. In mortal fear, the emperor attempted to treat for peace, but Russia kept him waiting for a month, while her troops closed down on the line of escape, and the winter was coming on—the Russian winter. From the time when the retreat began through a thousand miles of naked wilderness, not a single ration was issued to the starving army. The men were loaded with furs, brocades, chalces, ingots of silver, bars of gold and jewels, but they had no food. The transport numbered thousands of carts laden with grain, but the horses died because there was no forage, so all the commissariat, except Napoleon's treasure train, was left wrecked by the wayside. No words of mine could ever tell the story, but here are passages from the Memoirs of Sergeant Burgogne (Heineman). I have ventured to condense parts of his narrative, memories of the lost army, told by one who saw. He had been left behind to die: "At that moment the moon came out, and I began to walk faster. In this immense cemetery and this awful silence I was alone, and I began to cry like a child. The tears relieved me, gradually my courage came back and, feeling stronger, I set out again, trusting to God's mercy, taking care to avoid the dead bodies. "I noticed something I took for a wagon. It was a broken canteen cart, the horses which had drawn it not only dead, but partly cut to pieces for eating. Around the cart were seven dead bodies almost naked, and half covered with snow; one of them still covered with a cloak and a sheepskin. On stooping to look at the body I saw that it was a woman. I approached the dead woman to take the sheepskin for a covering, but it was impossible to move it. A piercing cry came from the cart. 'Marie! Marie! I am dying!' "Mounting on the body of the horse in the shafts I steadled myself by the top of the cart. I asked what was the matter. A feeble voice answered, "Something to drink!" "I thought at once of the frozen blood in my pouch, and tried to get down to fetch it, but the moon suddenly disappeared behind a great black cloud, and I as suddenly fell on top of the three dead bodies. My head was down lower than my legs, and my face resting on one of the dead hands. I had been accustomed for long enough to this sort of company, but now—I suppose because I was alone—an awful feeling of terror came over me—I could not move, and I began screaming like a madman—I tried to help myself up by my arm, but found my hand on a face, and my thumb went into its mouth. At that moment the moon came out. “But a change came over me now. I felt ashamed of my weakness, and a wild sort of frenzy, instead of terror, took possession of me. I got up raving and swearing, and trod on anything that came near me . . . and I cursed the sky above me, defying it, and taking my musket, I struck at the cart—very likely I struck also at the poor devils under my feet.” Such was the road, and here was the passing of the army which Burgogne had overtaken. "This was November twenty-five, 1812, perhaps about seven o'clock in the morning, and as yet it was hardly light. I was musing on all that I had seen, when the head of the column appeared. Those in advance seemed to be generals, a few on horseback, but the greater part on foot. There were also a great number of other officers, the remnant of the doomed squadron and battalion formed on the twenty-second and barely existing at the end of three days. Those on foot dragged themselves painfully along, almost all of them having their feet frozen and wrapped in rugs, and all nearly dying of hunger. Afterward came the small remains of the cavalry of the guard. The emperor came next on foot, carrying a baton; Murat walked on foot at his right, and on his left, the Prince Eugene, viceroy of Italy. Next came the marshals—Berthier, prince of Neuchatel, Ney, Mortier, Lefevre, with other marshals and generals whose corps were nearly annihilated. Seven or eight hundred officers and non-comissioned officers followed, walking in order, and perfect silence, and carrying the eagles of their different regiments which had so often led them to victory. This was all that remained of sixty thousand men. After them came the imperial guard. And men cried at seeing the emperor on foot." So far the army had kept its discipline, and at the passage of the River Berezina the engineers contrived to build a bridge. But while the troops were crossing, the Russians began to drive the rear guard, and the whole herd broke into panic. "The confusion and disorder went on increasing, and reached their full height when Marshal Victor was attacked by the Russians, and shells and bullets showered thickly upon us. To complete our misery, snow began to fall, and a cold wind blew. This dreadful state of things lasted all day and through the next night, and all this time the Berezina became gradually filled with ice, dead bodies of men and horses, while the bridge got blocked up with carts full of wounded men, some of which rolled over the edge into the water. Between eight and nine o'clock that evening, Marshal Victor began his retreat. He and his men had to cross the bridge over a perfect mountain of corpses." Still thousands of stragglers had stayed to burn abandoned wagons, and make fires to warm them before they attempted the bridge. On these the Russians descended, but it was too late for flight, and of the hundreds who attempted to swim the river, not one reached the farther bank. To prevent the Russians from crossing, the bridge was set on fire, and so horror was piled on horror that it would be gross offense to add another word. Of half a million men who had entered Russia, there were only twenty-five thousand left after that crossing of the Berezina. These were veterans for the most part, skilled plunderers, who foraged for themselves, gleaning a few potatoes from stripped fields, shooting stray Cossacks for the food they had in their wallets, trading with the Jews who lurked in ruined towns, or falling back at the worst on frozen horseflesh. Even to the last, remnants of lost regiments ralled to the golden eagles upon their standards, but these little clusters of men no longer kept their ranks, for as they marched the strong tried to help the weak, and often comrades would die together rather than part. All were frozen, suffering the slow exhaustion of dysentery, the miseries of vermin and starvation. From Smorgony, Napoleon went ahead, traveling rapidly to send the relief of sleighs and food which met the survivors on the German border. Thence he went on to Paris to raise a new army; for now there was conspiracy in France for the overthrow of the despot, and Europe rose to destroy him. So on the field of Leipsic, in the battle of the nations, Napoleon was overwhelmed. Once again he challenged fate, escaped from his island prison of Elba, and with a third army marched against armed Europe. And so came Waterloo, with that last banishment to Saint Helena, where the great adventurer fretted out his few sore years, dreaming of glories never to be revived and that great empire which was lost forever. SECRETARY WILBUR ASKS NAVY CAPABLE OF MEETING FLEET OF ENGLAND LARGER NAVY URGED PRESENT RATIO DOES NOT INCLUDE BASES OR MERCHANT MARINE Washington.—Supporting the contention that the American navy, while stronger than Japan's, is not on a par with Great Britain's Secretury Wilbur in a lengthy report transmitted to the House naval committee, declared the comparative fighting strength of the three navies appeared to be 5-4-3. Much of the report was a verbatim reiteration of observations made recently by Assistant Secretary Roosevelt in a letter to Chairman Butler of the committee, commenting on statements of W. B. Shearer, a naval expert, that the actual ratio is 5-3-1, with America 1. Mr. Wilbur pointed out that the 54-3 estimate "does not take into consideration strategically located and well equipped naval bases which add greatly to the sea power of a nation, nor does it take into consideration the relative strength of the various merchant marines." The secretary urged that Congress authorize the modernization of thirteen battleships—the New York, Texas, Florida, Utah, Arkansas and Wyoming to provide additional deck torpedo and mine protection, for oil instead of coal burners, and some increased elevation of guns; and the New Mexico, Mississippi, Idaho, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada and Oklahoma to increase the angle of elevation of guns and to afford additional torpedo protection. He also urged that funds be provided for construction of eight fast cruisers. The report pointed out that Great Britain is building two battleships and the United States and Japan none; that Great Britain is constructing nine cruisers, Japan twelve, France five and the United States two; that Japan is building twenty-seven destroyers, France twenty-four, Great Britain four and the United States none; that Japan has thirty-seven submarines under construction, France twenty-three, the United States eleven and Great Britain six, and that England is building two aircraft carriers, the United States and Japan two and France one. As to submarines, he said the American navy has none capable of maneuvering with the fleet at battle speed nor at the usual fleet cruising speed under all conditions of sea weather. The naval secretary said that the construction of the following non-combatant auxiliaries was needed to round out the fleet and to prepare it adequately to defend the United States possessions: Distilling ships, two; destroyer tenders, two; submarine tenders, three; fleet repair ships, three; aircraft tender, one; first-line mine layers, ten; mine sweepers, twenty. A number of these, he added, could be taken over from the merchant marine and fitted out. Polish Guards Slain Warsaw, Poland—Several Polish police, frontier guards and a priest were killed in a battle between raiders from soviet Russia and a number of Poles at Krzewicze, near the border, said a dispatch from that place. Forty armed men crossed the line, armed with rifles, machine guns and grenades. 50 Reported Killed by Bandits Bisbee, Ariz.—The rumor that fifty Chinese were killed in a clash at Cananea, Sonora, Mexico, probably evolved from the report that a band of outlaws were raiding Chinese ranches south of Cananea, according to officials of the Four C Copper Company, who said that camp had been greatly disturbed by the proximity of the bandits. Three railroad bridges between Cananea and Nogales and one bridge between Cananea and Naco have been burned by the band and several Chinese robbed. Firebug Found Guilty New York.—William S. Ford, indicted for first degree murder for setting a fire in which six persons were killed, was found guilty by a Brooklyn Supreme Court jury, which deliberated fifty-five minutes. Ford was charged with firing the apartment house in which the deaths occurred in order to avenge himself upon his father-in-law, George F. Keim, one of the victims, because of a dispute over property. 11 Guilty of Liquor Conspiracy Mobile, Ala.—The Jury in the case of forty-four defendants charged with conspiracy to violate the national prohibition act, returned a verdict of guilty against eleven of the defendants in the federal District Court. The other thirty-three were acquitted. The defendants in the conspiracy case convicted are Harry B. O'Connor, Ben F. Cody, Perry Collins, Thomas Corsow, James F. Haves, G. L. Donaghue, Dan L. Jenison, Percy K. Hearns, John H. McEovy, P. J. O'Shaughnessy and Geronimo Perez. POLICE CHIEF ALSO GIVEN A CLEAN SLATE in SECOND TRIAL AT PUEBLO JURY ACQUITS MAYOR COLORADO MAYOR FREED OF CHARGES OF LIQUOR CONSPIR- ACY BY U. S. GRAND JURY Pueblo, Colo.—Mayer H. D. Mustain of Walsenburg and Night Captain of Police Charles Sanchez of the same city were acquitted on charges of conspiracy to violate the Voltest law, the jury reaching a decision after less than thirty minutes' deliberation. The case was heard before Federal Judge J. Foster Symes in the United States District Court. This was the second trial for Mustain and Sanchez on this charge, the first jury hearing the case disagreeing. United States District Attorney Granby Hillyer and Assistant United States District Attorney John C. McCann of Denver prosecuted for the government. The defense was handled by Attorney Philip Hornbein of Denver assisted by Attorneys R. E. Foote, John Eastt and Starbuck of Walsenburg and John A. Martin of Pueblo. Testimony varied but little in the second trial from that of the one held a week ago, Mayor Mustain and Captain Sanchez denying all charges made against them by the confessed bootleggers who were the government's star witnesses. The courtroom was crowded for all sessions, many persons from Walsenburg coming to Pueblo to hear the final testimony. During both trials Mrs. Mustain and her two baby daughters were in the courtroom. Mayor Mustain, following his acquittal, expressed his elation at the outcome of the trial and expressed his gratitude to the jury for their prompt verdict of acquittal. "The whole affair has merely been persecution on the part of my political enemies," he declared. "The verdict of the jury is complete vindication, both of myself and for Mr. Sanchez." A general celebration by Walsburg citizens was staged in honor of the acquittal of the two men, according to reports from there. Ex-Mayor Held for Horse Theft Los Angeles, Calif.-Ole Hanson, a wartime mayor of Seattle, now a Los Angeles real estate subdivider, will have an opportunity to prove that he is not a horse thief in a Pasadena court. Hanson joked about the charge filed against him by Clarence W. Basten, who alleged the former Seattle mayor stole a strawberry roan from his pasture. Hanson admitted taking the horse but explained it was one stolen from him eighteen months ago and no doubt had been purchased in good faith by Basten. Man Held for Double Killing Independence, Kan.—Bearing bullet wounds, the bodies of Mrs. Harley Etter, 18, and her 2-year-old baby, Belinda, were dragged from a burning barn on the Etter farm, near here by officers searching for them. The woman had been shot in the back and the child through the head. Harley Etter, 23, the husband and father, is being held for questioning. He admitted, according to officers, that he had quarreled with his wife recently, but denied any knowledge of the slayings. Bonus Applications Swamp Bureau Washington.—Already besieged by requests from veterans for adjusted compensation under the law, the war department has issued a statement pointing out to former service men the futility of writing or calling for bonus payments at the present time. The special application blank has been prepared and an order for 15,000,000 has been placed with the public printer, the statement said. The necessary paper to fill the huge order is being shipped to the public printer by the factories and on receipt the application blanks will be promptly delivered to the department for distribution to veterans throughout the country. Committee Rejects Ford Bid Washington.—By a vote of 10 to 6 the Senate agriculture committee rejected Henry Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals nitrate and power project. Ford's offer was indorsed by the House by an overwhelming vote last month. The committee's action forces supporters of his bid to fight to bring it up on th floor of the Senate. Prisoner Riddles Court Room Prisoner Ridieres Court Room Butte, Mont.—When called by Judge Pray in Federal Court to stand up for sentence after conviction on a liquor charge, John O'Leary drew two guns and fired twelve shots in the crowded court room. He opened fire in the direction of four federal prohibition officers who were on one of the seats for spectators. Eleven shots were fired without hitting anyone, and the twelfth inflicted a bullet wound in O'Leary's own head which may be fatal, accord- ing to attending physicians.

Burther particulars on ap- wera, “A RECORD OF THINGS ACCOMPLISHED FOR THE NEGRO” ITH THE above simple announcement across the cover page of its W 14th annual report, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People gives in detail some startling figures as to its 1923 achievements. And it is a report of such a character, that no, one ean read it without givihg way to the conviction that a mighty force is at work in this country for the full, free and unhindered vindication of the American idea. That idea is, as tersely told in the pages of the report: “that every man shall have opportunity for the highest self development and that his achievements shall not be denied recognition on their merits.” We very much doubt if the greater portion of our group rightly compre- hend the power and worth of the N. A. A. C. P., else there would be. no appeal necessary each year to assure the national office funds sufficient to enable it to function properly. ‘ In speaking of the National Association, we ought to be in position to speak for every Negro in America. Each and all should glory in an opportunity to be contributory factors to such a record in behalf of a single race as is contained in this report. We will not comment upon details; the report speaks for itself. Within its folds you will find, 1, A complete record of the Tuskegee Hospital controversy. 2. ‘The lynching statistics and other information for the year. 3. An account of the Supreme Courts decision upholding our fight against peonage in Arkansas, 4. Record of the fight against discrimination, segregation, and mob rule, the Johnstown deportations, etc. ‘There is a drive on by the Denver Branch just now for an increase in membership. The effort should succeed without question and no doubt will, for Denver is regarded as one of the best branches in the country. Our record must remain inviolate. We beg of you to read carefully this 14th annual report, read the appeal of Moorfield Storey, a noble hearted white man of the Charles Sumner and who assumes the full weight of re- sponsibility as national president in the observation, “Ours is not a popu- Jar cause.” With such a man of Mr. Storey’s eminence speaking glow- ingly of “our cause,” would it not be a happy fruition if a million or more Negro citizens were enabled to speak as glowingly of “our associa- tion.” CAN YOU STAND FOR THE TEST? ANKIND loves to look back and glory upon his achievements; man- M kind loves to look forward and contemplate possible triumphs. This has been so from the beginning and will remain so until the end. Dreamers have flourished in every age and sometimes the most fantastic of dreams come true. But the present is an age of competition, of prac- ticability, of character, brains and reliability. There is but little open space left for the idle dreamer, or for that relic of other days who is secure in the belief that the world owes him a living. We very often hear the cry of a lack of opportunity and many there are who assert their pos- sibilities of success if only “given a chance.” But the world is not in debt to any man for his livelihood and in the great race of life, chances are not given, chances are taken. Never in the history of our country was there a time when a greater call went out for the thoroughly competent man and woman in any line, The day has: passed and forever, when the incompetent, the unprepared and makeshift individual can succeed for any length of time, no matter whether it be a common laborer or a mere hostler. Competition and the demands of the time seek and will have only the best. We recall with much satis- faction that, at the very height of the war prosperity era a large number of colored laborers were imported by one of the big ship building firms in a Northern city. It was naturally presumed that common day labor was their only forte. But out of the group came one who showed exceptional ability and soon set up a world record in handling a riveting machine. The news was heralded far and broad with the result that this supposed untutored Negro laborer was recorded as the highest salaried man in the shipyards of the country. His ability pushed back anything resembling a color line and every agency was on the lookout for more of his kind. His achievement surely carries a simple lesson, The man entirely com- petent to do good, rapid, exact work, with a conscientious conception of his responsibilities, thoroughly honest, industrious and punctual, will not only find an open door awaiting at all times his endeavors, but will pave the way for many others. It is but the law of recompense and compen- sation, as natural and certain as the law of gravitation, Somehow we re- gard it as passing strange that more of our young men and women do not learn this valuable lesson and properly fit themselves for many as- piring positions. If one enters upon the profession of a school teacher a serious blunder is made at the start unless full preparation is made to honor the profession with thorough application and deep study. A clergy- man of the present day must display knowledge somewhat beyond an ability to discourse eloquently upon the horrors of hell or the eternal beauties of heaven. A successful lawyer or physician must go beyond the stage of apologists, trimmers or makeshifts. The age clearly calls for 100 per cent. men and women, but this percentage must be along the line of actual accomplishment and not a mere pronouncement from the plat- form or press. There is a growing tendency to round out one’s education by following some line of special training. The general idea is good and should be enlarged upon, for it is only through careful, serious applica- tion of one’s very best to the job assigned that the trying exactions of the hour can be successfully met. Disarmament in Accordance With the Theory of the Washington Conference By PRESIDENT COOLIDGE, in New York Address, Se ON oe cee ee ee ete ec ene a a ee came of Europe is restored. We hope further that such a condition will be the beginning of a secure and enduring peace. Certainly it would remove many of the pres- ent cources of disagreement and misunderstanding among the European nations. When this adjustment is finally made, and has had sufficient time of operation to become a settled European policy, it would lay the foun- dation for a further effort at disarmament in accordance with the theory of the Washington conference. Although that gathering was able to limit capital battleships, it had to leave the question of submarines, aircraft and land forces unsolved. ‘Whe main reason for this was the unsettled and almost threatening condi- tion that still existed in Europe. A final adjustment for the liquidation of reparations onght to be the beginning of a new era of peace and good will. Our past experience should warn us not to be overconfident in the race of so many failures, but it also justifies the hope that something may pe done where already there has been some success, and at least we can demonstrate that we have done all that we can. . The world knows that we do not seek to rule by force of arms; our strength is in our moral power. We increase the desire for peace every- where by being peaceful. We maintain a military force for our defense, but our offensive lies in the justice of.our cause. We are against war because it is destructive. We are for peace be- cause it is constructive. We seek concord with all nations through mutual understanding. We velieve in treaties and covenants and international law as a permanent record for a reliable determination of action. All these are evidences of a right intention. But something more than these is required to maintain the peace of the world. In its final determination it must come from the heart of the people. Unless it abide there, we cannot build for it any artificial lodging place. If the will of the world be evil, there is no artifice by which we can protect the nations from evil results. Five-Five-Three Ratio in Reality Five-Three One, America Being One By WILLIAM B. SHEARER, American Naval Expert. The Washington conference established a naval ratio of five-five ihree; England five, America five, Japan three. This was considered « victory for the United States because it marked the end of the two-power standard England had maintained for a century and it brought the United States on a level with her and gave us at the same time a marked superi- ority over Japan, But whatever advantages might have bsen ours under that treaty have been thrown away. Today the five-five-three ratio exists on paper only. In reality is is five-three-one, America being one. Not only are we outgunned so far as our battleships are concerned, but we are outnumbered in light cruisers and in fleet submarines, ‘The Brit- ish are four to one over us in light cruiser strength and the Japanese two and one-half to one. Outgunned, outnumbered, part of the fleet in a deplorable condition, with no naval bases, and our only fuel reserve 2,100 miles distant, we have lost our position in the five-five-three treaty. ‘To establish our ratio, or rather to re-establish it, we need 4,172 offi cers and 11,175 men, a reserve of 256 officers, and 18,179 men. Japan needs none. Such a situation is almost treason to our security. Woman Who Declines Responsibility of Parent- hood Is Traitor to Race a a aii eal By PRESIDENT ARTHUR E. MORGAN, Antioch College. America has many millions of stupid, primitive men and women who can live in a complex civilization only because people of better quality furnish intelligence, character and skill. In certain rural districts in the eastern United States, where people of intelligence and character have moved away to farms more fertile or to cities, one can always find neigh- borhoods where perhaps half the population is feeble minded. ‘There is no divine assurance that America will keep its greatness. In any community where intelligent people do not assume the responsibility of parenthood barbarism will follow in a few generations. Our intelligent-young men and women have inherited all that is fine from the ages that have passed. Only through them can that inheritance be transmitted to the future. The woman who decides that she personally will not assume the responsibilities of parenthood is a traitor to the race. No amount of social service or skillful government can make up for that irreparable loss, and no indignant revolt of feminism can alter that fundamental biologic fact. ‘An education which sees the end and aim of woman's education to be preparation for a calling, with the probable or necessary sacrifice of a home and family, is far from the last word. New York Is Full of Girls Down and Out and Too Proud to Write Home By MRS. MARY HAMILTON, New York Policewoman. New York is full of girls, well educated and of fair social standing in their home towns, who are simply down and out and too proud to write home and admit it. And, again, it is also full of foolish young things out for a thrill—mad to do something different, cause a sensation, make up for the colorlessness and uninterestingness of their lives—even though it lands them in jail for their pains. None of them is vicious. They all just want to live. They come here with about $500 and a fair showing of clothes—according to home- town standards. They are going to enter college, work their way through. Or they are going into the movies. Or they are going to dance on the stage. Or they are going to make their mark in grand opera! Fine— until they see New York styles, Their wardrobe seems somehow inade- quate. Just a few new things will freshen it up a bit. And before they know it the small hoard is gone. ‘They are absolutely broke. ‘There is no one to turn to. No way of hoping for better things ahead. And write home, admitting defeat, they will not. ‘They're just plain up against it hace where we copie in: J. R, DRESSOR L, A.

SYRIAN COURT NO. 40 OF DAUGHTERS OF ISIS HEAR ANNUAL SERMON. It was Sunday, May 18, that Syrian Court No. 40 of Daughters of Isis, enjoyed their annual sermon at New Hope Baptist church. Following the opening hymn by the choir and the invocation by Rev. Liggins, the twenty-seventh Psalm was read by the adviser, Noble Burrel Moore, who was master of ceremonies. Singing by the congregation and responsive reading preceded the memorial eulogy for Daughter Sarah Palmer, grand outside spy, who passed away on March 23, 1924. The eulogy was read by Daughter Ruth B. Bright, deputy of Oasis, Desert of Colorado. The theme of Daughter Marie O'Neil, vocal solo, to which the listeners were very responsive was appropriate and encouraging. The sermon delivered by Rev. Liggins was an excellent and inspiring one. It was through the grateful talk of Illustrious Commandress Daughter Hattie Williams, that the Daughters of Ists expressed their appreciation to Rev. Liggins for his helpful sermon.

MAY MEETING OF MEN'S CLUB BRILLIANT AFAIR Home of Mr. and Mrs. John Levell Scene of Gay Event The Men's Club of the Church of the Redeemer was more a gathering of the "boys" Wednesday, if one might judge by the frolic and fun indulged in by every one of the large number gathered. The club met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Level, 2540 South Broadway, with Dr. T. E. McClain and I. H. Simmons serving jointly as hosts. The hospitality of the Levelv home is known far and near and it was a pleasing diversion to see Denver's staid and solid business men and churchmen having the "time of their lives." The dinner served was most elaborate and a rising vote of thanks was extended the ladies who served so graciously. The club took steps to present the annual oratorical contest in the new parish house when completed. MRS. LOTTIE WILLIAMS PASSES AWAY Denver Shocked at News of Death of Well-Known Matron That death loves a shining mark is noted by the number of prominent and well-known persons that have been called to join the great silent majority in recent months. Denver has faced one surprise right after another, but none coming with greater force than when the news went out Saturday noon that Mrs. Lottie Williams, youngest daughter of Mrs. Sara L. Trusty, 1303 East Twenty-sixth avenue, had passed away. Mrs. Williams entered Mercy hospital for an operation May 12, and while its seriousness was known to a few close friends, the majority of her large circle of friends were wholly unprepared for an announcement of her death. Mrs. Williams was born in Leavenworth, Kan., thirty-six years ago and has resided in Colorado since 1912. She possessed an unusual congeniality of nature and was a very popular matron in Denver's social circles. She died Saturday morning, May 17, at 11 a. m., leaving a grief-strecken mother, one sister, Josephine Harding, three brothers, Fred, John and Tollver, and Louise and Freddie Mayse, niece and nephew. Funeral services were conducted from the home Wednesday afternoon, with Fr. H. E. Rahming officiating. A very large number of floral offerings, beautifully attested the love and esteem a community felt for Lottie Williams. Interment was in Riverside cemetery. For Rent—Nicely modern furnished rooms.

RECTOR HONORED Awarded Life Membership in Many Organizations for Faithful Service 9 THAT beautiful, common sense sentiment of the present day, to bestow flowers while yet on earth and fully able to enjoy their meaning, found a most worthy exemplification recently in the gracious acts of Rocky Mountain Lodge No. 1, F. and A. M.; Arapahoe Lodge No. 2936, G. U. O of O F, and Corporal White Camp of Spanish Veterans, each of whom conferred life memberships upon Denver's noble patriarch, Titus S Rector. Having been a member of Rocky Mountain lodge for fifty years, and of Arapahoe lodge for thirty-five years, giving liberally of his time and services, faithful to every trust and interest, Titus Rector is eminently worthy of the high honor conferred upon him and the organizations alike honor themselves by their generous acts. Mr. Rector is a veteran of the Civil war, but his heart, soul and spirit have kept in touch with the constant march of events and he has kept young with the very youngest. So it was a most noble-hearted thing for Corporal White camp to extend its arms over the chasm of years and bring into their fold as a life member one so worthy and upstanding as Titus Rector. He is a grand old man, a citizen of high type, and holds a place in the affections of the community that comes not by chance, but only through superior worth. The COLORADO STATESMAN congratulates all concerned, those who gave and him who received. Rev. W. H. Thomas Gives Up Denver Pulpit Rev. W. H. Thomas Gives Up Denver Pulpit Learned A. M. E. Minister Assumes Charge of Baltimore Church Rev. Wm. H. Thomas, for five years popular pastor of the Shorter A. M. E. Church, has accepted an assignment to Trinity A. M. E. Church in Baltimore, Md., and severed his connections with Denver on Sunday last. Reverend Thomas was a prominent candidate for the bishopric before the general conference of the A. M. E. Church at Louisville, Ky., recently, and while his ambitions were not realized, still his unusual merit and ability was given substantial recognition by elevation to the Baltimore pulpit, made vacant by election as bishop of the Rev. A. L. Gaines. During the five years of his Denver pastorate, Rev. Thomas has proven a tower of strength in all civic movements and his leadership has been unquestioned. Word received from him Monday was to the effect that his family would remain in Denver until the close of the school term when they would move to Baltimore. It is possible that Rev. Thomas himself will be in the city the first Sunday in June to close up some business affairs. SPECIAL NOTICE All members of Mountain Lodge No. 39, I. B. P. O.

PUSSE-ARGONNE AMERICAN CEMETERY, 13,938 GRAVES By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN LUE, Gray and Khaki—the Blue and Gray of the Civil War and the Khald of the Spanish-American War and the World War; America reunited under one Flag and in one uni- form! So in half a century Memorial Day has come to have a new meaning— STONE MOUNTAIN Wide World Photo paid to Harding and Half a century ago Memorial Day In its beginnings was an American holy day, for our soldier dead lay here at home. Memorial Day In 1924 will be observed the world over, for our soldier dead are scattered to the ends of the earth. We, here at home, who can do no better, wear poppies in their honor and entrust to other hands the strewing of blossoms "Over There." In the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery, No. 1,232, Romagne-sous-Montfaucon (Meuse), France, lie 13,938 of our soldier dead known and identified, and 483 unknown. Loving hands, American and French, will pay tribute with flowers. And there will be no dearth of blossoms in the other overseas American cemeteries—St. Mihiel, Somme, Oise-Alsne, Alsne-Marne and Suresnes in France; Flanders Fields' in Belgium, and Brookwood in England. Sald Myron T. Herrick, American Ambassador to France, at the dedication ceremonies last year: We are assembled here as we were last year and in the years before, and as will others be in all the years to come, to do honor to the men who died in France in defense of our honor and the world's liberty. Diverse indeed were the tongues and races that made up the A. E. F. In life America's fighting men came from the ends of the earth. In death they lie as far-scattered. Uncle Sam, responsive to the call of bereaved hearts, has sent these soldier dead to rest at home in Italy, Ireland, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Scotland, Czechoslovakia, Norway, Finland, Sardinia and even China. One likes to think that not one of these far-flung graves will be forgotten on Memorial Day. For six years the Graves Registration Service has been at work. Except for permanent construction work in the Fields of Honor overseas its work is done. It brought some 46,000 soldier dead to America. Approximately 30,000 were concentrated in the American cemeteries overseas, and 700 were sent to foreign countries. A colossal work and well performed. Let us do honor to those who did it. Those who picture the bringing in of the dead of a combat organization as a leisurely occupation performed after fighting and firing has ceased, might turn to the report of General Pershing describing the fighting of late April, 1918, and read: On April 20, Lieutenant McCormick and his group arrived at Mandres and began their work under heavy shell fire and gas; and although troops were in dugouts there they went to the cemetery and in order to preserve remembrances, repaired and erected new crosses as fast as the old ones were blown down. They also completed the extension to the cemetery, this work occupying a period of one and one-half hours, during which time shells were falling continuously and they were subjected to mustard gas. They gathered many bodies which had been first in the hands of the Germans and were later retaken by American troops. Identification was especially difficult, all papers and tags having been removed and most of the bodies being in a terrible condition and beyond recognition. The other pictures are equally suggestive of phases of the observance of Memorial Day. Surely it is inspiring—the group picture made at the opening of the Citizens' Military Training Camp at Foot Sam Houston. In the center, seated, is Gen with more soldier dead, alas, and with more graves for decoration—but also with more heroes and with new responsibilities and new ideals. Row upon even row they stretch, A white and shining multitude; Line of Crosses on the soil of France, To mark the plighted brotherhood That knew no barrier, no breed, When heroes side by heroes stood. John J. Pershing. The others seated in the picture, from left to right, are a Spanish-American War veteran, a Union Civil War veteran, a Confederate Civil War veteran and a Mexican War veteran, now ninety-five years of age. Standing, from left to right, are a World War veteran and commander of the local American Legion post, a Civil War nurse and a World War nurse. Seated in front and not the least interesting of the group is a member of the C. M. T. C. He is interesting because of his potentialities. To him the future of the nation is to be entrusted. What situations will he be called upon to meet? And will he meet them? Why doubt? Old Glory has never yet been lowered in defeat. In the meantime this C. M. T. C. young American is symbol of a preparedness that does not exalt militarism and should further the cause of peace. This summer there will be many thousands of him—including the two sons of President Coolidge. The veterans in this Camp Sam Houston group suggest that the ranks of both the Grand Army of the Republic and the United Confederate Veterans are thinning fast. The time is fast approaching when there will be no more Blue and no more Gray—only the Khaki which grew out of the Blue and Gray. The latest pension figures give a hint of the way the veterans are dropping from the ranks. Pensioners for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1923, numbered 539,756, as compared with 547,016 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922. The amount of money paid out for pensions for the fiscal year of 1923 was $263,012,500, as compared with $253,807,583, an increase of $9,204,917. Soldier pensions of the Civil war decreased by 25,250 during the year by 1938,811 in 1922 and 165,823 in 1923, while the widows of Civil war veterans drawing pensions fell from 272,194 in 1922 to 264,508 in 1923, a reduction of 7,614. Pensioners of the Spanish-American war were increased during the year by 22,438. The number of widows of veterans of this war drawing pensions also increased from 9,198 to 13,167. An increase of 56 pensioners of this war wars the Mexican war. There are only 49 soldiers of the Mexican war drawing pensions from the government. Widows being pensioned from the War of 1812 declined from 49 to 40. Another picture shows Prof. Edwin D. Meeny and David Spaulding unveiling a bronze tablet on the campus of the University of Washington in honor of fifty-seven men and one woman who gave their lives for their country in the World War. The sense of responsibility in the youth, of the day is one of the things that gives us hope. All the college men were vallant in the World War—as in every war. There was intense love of country and a passion for service no less strong. It is the picked youth of the country—the high school boys and college undergraduates—who are resorting voluntarily to the military training camps. Doubtless they hate war, but doubtless they intend to be ready for intelligent service in the next war—if it comes. The Washington Monument at the capital is impressive—perhaps there is no more impressive memorial on earth to a human being than this great shaft in honor of the "Father of His Country." The Lincoln Memorial at the capital is beautiful—perhaps there is no more beautiful memorial on earth to a human being than this temple erected in honor of the "Savior of His Country." The recent unveiling of the sculptured head of Gen. Robert E. Lee suggests that the great Stoeze Mountain memorial to the Confederate army will be WORLD WAR MEMORIAL STONE MOLINTAIN Wide World Photo is seated in the piccadillo a Spanish-American War veteran, a Conquistador a Mexican War soldier of age.

He was a fighter who never gave up. He elected to go down with colors flying. The undaunted spirit remained undimmed to the end, and those last moments must have been fortified by the conviction that his fight had not been in vain. For he appealed to the conscience of the world and that appeal is slowly bearing fruit. Many are they pronounce him the greatest personage produced by the World War. Let the man speak for himself—in his proclamation of dedication read during the ceremonies at the dedication of the majestic memorial amphitheater in the National Cemetery at Arlington. It reads, in part: The dedication of the national memorial at Arlington closes and commits to history a great episode in the making of a nation. Gathered in this national cemetery and elsewhere are most of the men who fought out the constitutional question, insoluble by other processes, and now the grave was set the ground and beautifully built to stand like a sentinel on the banks of the Potomac and to view for all time the capital of a reunited nation. Time has thrown its softening influence over the controversy, time has eliminated from our memory the bitterness which that controversy aroused, but time has only served to magnify the heroic valor of the captains and men who fought the great war. As the nation arose, united, it found itself blessed with a great tradition. In these later days that tradition has nerved the arms of millions of Americans called upon to vindicate upon foreign fields of battle the principles of political liberty. They I have taught and taught and taught and taught from the New world should, conscious of their strength, confident of the cause, alike unselfish and uncompeterable. And I like to think that in their hour of triumph, unseen but potent, there stood beside them the spirit of the great dead, the spirit of those who originally rescued America from the tyranny of slavery and world oppression and kept her free and just. I cannot attend the ceremony of this dedication, but my heart is there and with my fellow countrymen everywhere I join in grateful recognition of the virtues which this memorial commemorates and in reverent thanks to the God of nations that it possible for us in this way to show the world that America is baptised in the spirit of the founders and builders. ```markdown ``` --- --- unique among the memorials of the world. Tons of granite were let loose from the scaffolding 400 feet up the mountainside. The loosened stone crashed to the ground with a roar and two American flags slowly unfurled, disclosing the features of the Confederate chieftain. In the sculptured area waved the stars and bars of the Confederacy. Those present at the ceremony included governors of the several states, MnJ. Gen. David C. Shanks, representing the army, and Rear Admiral James G. Williams of Charleston, S. C., representing the navy. Daughters of the Confederacy and hundreds of citizens also witnessed the unveiling. Lee's head which is eighteen feet in height, is but a unit in the great memorial now being carved on Stone Mountain. When completed the memorial will cover an area of 1,300 feet by 140 feet and embrace some 700 figures, depicting in granite the history of the Confederacy. Stone Mountain is in Georgia and is 700 feet high, and the face being carved is almost perpendicular. Harding and Wilson! The thoughts of the American people will turn on Decoration Day to these two great leaders who have "Gone West" since the last strewing of blossoms on the graves of the soldier dead. "Gone West" is appropriate, for they fell in the service of their country as surely as any fighting man on the firing line. No finer tribute can be NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS U. S. Has a Monopoly of Helium Gas Steam Has Not Killed Romance in Trade Applying the Simple Life Principle WASHINGTON.—Setting anew the government's "stamp of approval" on the work of the National Academy of Sciences and the national research council, President Coolidge, speaking at the dedication of the new home here of the two organizations, predicted the coming of "a new day in scientific research." "A new sun is rising," he said. "It is destined to illuminate the scientific world by illuminating this hall." The President traced the intimate relationships which from the days of Benjamin Franklin have existed between science and the American government and declared that "if there be one thing in which America is preeminent, it is a disposition to follow the truth." "It is the same spirit," he declared, "that has moved through all our life, which makes it particularly appropriate that our national government should be active in its encouragement of the searching out of the truth in the physical world, and applying it to the well-being of the people, as it is interested in the searching out of the truth in the political world, with the same object in view." Pointing to the declaration of Washington in his farewell address for promotion of "institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge," President Coolidge said: "The beginning of our government, therefore, had to do with the inception of scientific research in the United States." HELIUM would have prevented the burning of the Dixmude, ZR-2 and the Roma, Dr. Richard B. Moore of New York city, formerly chief chemist of the United States bureau of mines, declared in an address on "Recent Developments in the Recovery of Helium From Natural Gas" before the petroleum chemistry division of the American Chemical society. "In addition to the disaster to the Dixmude," Mr. Moore continued, "the ZR-2 burned over Hull, England, and the Roma burned at Langley Field, Virginia. In each case the disaster was preceded or accompanied by mechanical troubles, but these need not necessarily have been fatal to any of the crew had these airships been filled with helium. "In other words, the last three big disasters have been accompanied by fire and have been primarily due to fire. In addition, a number of small blimps have also burned, and it is time for the facts to be thoroughly known and appreciated." Doctor Moore said the export of helium should be forbidden by federal legislation, as the United States possesses a practical monopoly of this gas. STEAM and steel boxes have driven the old-time clipper ship from the seas. But romance in commerce is not entirely dead because of the change. Deep in the holds of oil-burning cargo boats curious commodities recall the days of junks and galleons and pirates. Ambergris from the Arctic cast up by seasick whales, feathers plucked from South African ostriches, sesamum seeds from Arabia, silks woven from the webs of industrious worms in China and Japan and skins of strange Siberian beasts appear in the lists of declared exports from foreign ports to the United States, along with prosac products like Chilean nitrates, tin from Bolivia and rubber from tame trees of the Malay peninsula. And among them are thousands of more modern things one seldom thinks of as articles of trade. Commercial attaches, trade commissioners and consuls are daily transmitting to Washington inquiries from merchants in the farthest markets of THAT the movement for elimination of seldom-used varieties of everyday commodities is growing in scope and is saving millions of dollars to American commerce and industry, as manufacturers recognize the benefits from this simplification process, is shown in a report to Secretary of Commerce Hoover by William A. Durgin, head of the division of simplified practice of the Department of Commerce. During the last quarter of 1923, the report shows, ten industries, with the co-operation of the division, put into effect eliminations and simplifications covering a vast number of varieties of their products, the effect being to bring down manufacturing costs, and to benefit distributors and consumers as well. In addition to these, several other industries are on the way to accomplish similar savings. In the industries tied up with building construction, Mr. Durgin points out, simplifications affected metal laths, building bricks, range boilers and hollow building tile. Surveys of the brick industry showed 39 sizes of rough-face brick and 36 sizes of smooth-face brick. The conference of "American science," he continued. "may be divided into five periods—the Jefferson period, that of Silliman; the Agassiz period, the present period of co-operative research, when no one dominates, and the future, for which definite foundations are being laid." During the first period, the President said, Jefferson distinguished himself in paleontological researches and set up his laboratory in the east room of the White House. During the Silliman period John Quincy Adams was concerned in the founding of the Smithsonian institution and other important scientific societies were founded. After the Civil war, President Coolidge declared, Lincoln interested himself in science and signed a bill incorporating the National Academy of Sciences. During the World war when the need for solution of important problems by groups of thinkers rather than individuals became apparent President Wilson had a part in the next scientific stride. To this end, the speaker went on, the national research council was formed and after the war it was, on request of President Wilson, organized on a permanent peace-time footing. The President then told of the acquisition through the contributions of a number of philanthropists of a site for the building dedicated and the donation of funds to erect the building, which, he said, might be termed "the temple of science in America." Hellum, he asserted, has far-reaching possibilities in commercial aviation, but these would be endangered by the construction of hydrogen ships, which, he thought, would probably burn up. "The United States possesses the only large supplies of hellum-bearing gas in the world," Doctor Moore continued. "The gas belt containing helium extends through Texas, up through Oklahoma, southeastern Kansas, Ohio, Penasylvania and New York, and comes back through West Virginia to Kentucky, and the richest gas is in Texas, Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas. "With helium, it would be impossible to destroy an airship with a single incendiary bullet; it would be necessary to rip the bags to pieces by menas of a large bomb or shell before the airship could be brought to the ground. In future wars, airships will be built sufficiently large to carry a number of small fighting airplanes, and these can be dropped or recovered by the airship at will. "The cost of helium is being cut so rapidly that within a year or two it will be virtually as cheap as hydrogen." the world for wares of strange and sometimes startling sorts. These inquiries, along with numerous other novel and interesting facts, reported from every corner of the globe, are published in the Commerce department's weekly survey of foreign trade. From Belgium, scales to weigh diamonds; from Colombia, suspension bridge 110 meters long; from watery Holland 1,000 pairs of skates; from India, machines for separating peanuts from their shells; from Turkey, swivel chair mechanisms and advertising signs. A merchant in Bordeaux wants "bones and horn" and netsfoot oil. A call for "match-making machinery from Germany" has matrimonial implications, but probably refers to unromantic sulphur sticks for lighting gas and cigarettes. China seeks elastic arm-bnads, which the Chinese do not wear on their arms, but on their legs, to hold up, their short silk socks. manufacturers, builders and architects adopted one size and style in each case, eliminating 73 numbers previously made. In dealing with hollow building tile the varieties of sizes and weights were reduced from 36 to 19, while in the case of metal laths sizes and weights were reduced from 125 to 24, covering both flat and rib-type laths. Developing the simplification process with regard to range boilers, 13 varieties were retained out of a list of 130, which had been revealed in the survey of this industry. Where there had been more than 200 various dimensions of beds, springs and mattresses, the division was able to bring about an agreement of one length and four widths as standards for this group. And in the case of milk bottles the division's survey indicated 40 styles and sizes of milk bottles, with tops necessitating 28 sizes of caps. Meetings of those interested reduced the styles and sizes of bottles to nine and of caps for bottles to one. Hotel chinaware has as its program a reduction from 700 sizes and types to 160 varieties.

ECONOMICAL MEAT DISHES The Scotch kettle (a small iron kettle with an iron cover) is being revived. One who is not fortunate enough to possess one may purchase it, as they are now manufactured. There is no utensil which cooks meat to such perfection. Covered tightly and is not fortunate enough to possess one may purchase it, as they are now manufactured. There is no utensil which cooks meat to such perfection. Covered tightly and cooked long and at a slow heat, it thus confines all the juices and flavors. The meat will taste so delicious and different, that one will think he is eating some rare, choice morsel. Lamb Haricot.—Take three pounds of the breast of lamb or mutton; if mutton, remove all skin carefully, cut into squares after wiping, and roll in seasoned flour. In the bottom of the kettle put a pint of lima beans which have been soaked overnight. On top of the beans slice two small onions, then lay the meat on top of all. Bake three hours, well covered. Oxtail Kettle Roast.—Take two or three oxtails, wash and parbull for five minutes., wipe and roll in seasoned flour. Put one-half of a can of tomatoes in the kettle, lay in the oxtails and cover with finely chopped carrot, turnip and onion. Cover tightly and cook for about four hours in a slow oven. Thicken the rich juice which is left and serve with mashed potatoes. Roast Cannelon of Beef.—Take one and one-half pounds of ground round steak, the grated rind of a lemon, one tablespoonful of grated onion, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of ground mace, two tablespoonfuls of butter, one-fourth teaspoonful of pepper, the same of paprika, and a sprinkling of cayenne. Mix together thoroughly, make into a roll and place in a greased baking pan and bake for twenty minutes in a moderately hot oven. Now place six strips of bacon across the roll and arrange four large bananas halved lengthwise about the roll. Sprinkle with a little lemon juice and bake a delicate brown for about fifteen minutes longer. Serve the roast with the bananas about it. THINGS THAT HELP A small "housewife" holding needle, thimble and thread, carried in the apron pocket, will be found helpful in taking a stitch or two which would otherwise go unstitched. When taking disagreeable medicine hold a piece of ice in the mouth a moment; it dulls the sense of taste so the medicine goes down easier. Patterns in oilcloth make nine models for patchwork, for those who enjoy that kind of work. Keeping things from year to year because we may need them sometime is a wearliness to the flesh and really a most selfish way to live, while others need the things and could be made comfortable and happy with them. The stains of water on enamel in the sink and lavatory may be removed with a few drops of muriatic acid rubbed over. Rinse well or it will eat the enamel. Cool all bread and rolls on a rack. By covering with a cloth or pan the bread steams and it destroys the delicious flavor which is the chief charm of well-baked bread. Onlons cooked with tart apples, adding a little sugar, salt and frying in sweet fat, make a delightful change to serve with either chops or beefsteak. A roll of adhesive tape is indispensable in the household. A piece put on a sore thumb, a corn, or callous will give relief. Pure glycerin diluted with a little lemon juice or bay rum or rose water is a good softener of the hands. To remove fresh paint apply turpentine; old dry paint should be soaked in naphtha—away from all fire. Charcoal is a fine absorber of odors. Keep some in the ice chest, in cupboards where there is any dampness and renew it occasionally. Keep the used charcoal to start the fire, for it is just as good for that as the fresh. Baked Apples With Dates.—Wash and core four small apples. Fill the centers with sugar and two dates. Bake until tender and serve with one-half cupful of cream whipped and sweetened with a little sugar. Sugar Cookies.—Cream one cupful of butter with three cupfuls of sugar, add three unbeaten eggs, one cupful of milk in which a teaspoonful of soda is dissolved, one small nutmeg grated and flour to roll. One may vary this recipe by changing the flavoring, using grated peel, seeds of various kinds, raisins and nuts. This recipe makes a large quantity, but they are so good they do not last very long. Nellie Maxwell USE BISCUIT DOUGH FOR MAKING CAKES Opinions Differ as to Merits of Old-Fashioned Delicacy. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Opinions will always differ as to the respective merits of the "old-fashioned strawberry shortcake". made with biscuit dough, and the kind in which "cake" literally means cake. The success of the first kind can always be relied on if the housekeeper is considered a good biscuit maker, for she simply bakes her biscuit dough in one large round piece in a pie tin, and splits it open when done. She may, of course, cut the dough with a cookie cutter and bake individual shortcakes if she prefers. If one wishes to make the other type of strawberry shortcake it is sometimes a question as to just which one to use of the many different cake recipes offered in the cookbook. Many persons prefer a sponge cake or sunshine cake. This is not a "short" at 100 Strawberry Shortcake. all and it combines pleasantly with the whipped cream that garnishes the strawberries. The following recipe is recommended by the experimental kitchen of the United States Department of Agriculture. Sponge Cake. 4 eggs % cupful pastry % cupful sugar flour 1 teaspoonful va- nilla % teaspoonful salt 1 teaspoonful lem- on juice 1 teaspoonful baking powder To the well-beaten yolks of eggs gradually add the sugar and the flavoring. Sift together twice, the flour, salt and baking powder, and fold into the egg yolk and sugar. Fold this mixture into the well-beaten egg whites. Bake the cake in shallow pans in a moderate oven for about 30 minutes. This makes two sheets about 7 by 10 inches. When done, place the two sheets to together with the slightly crushed berries and whipped cream between and on top. The whipped cream should be sweetened and flavored. Government Recipe for An excellent starch is made by adding one cupful of water to from one to four tablespoonfuls of starch, according to the stiffness desired, says the United States Department of Agriculture. When the paste is smooth add one-half tablespoonful of borax, one-half teaspoonful of paraffin or white fat and one quart of boiling water. Boll 20 minutes, stirring thoroughly until clear and smooth. If a scum or lumps form, strain. Use hot for all except colored clothes. Turn garments wrong side out before starching and starch first those things in which the most stiffness is desired, as water from the garments thins the starch. Freezing and wind both take the starch out of clothes. OF IMPORTANCE TO OF IMPORTANCE TO KEEP FOODSTUFFS DRY BREAD Closet Arranged to Keep Dry Foodstuffs Dry.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) There are three general measures to be observed in combating files in the home: Keeping them out entirely, by means of screens; using fly paper, traps, and poison to destroy any that manage to get in; getting rid of all near-by breeding places, through personal or community effort. The bureau of entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture has explained many times over exactly why the common house fly is such a dangerous visitor. Every school child understands that this insect breeds in manure and decaying garbage, that the adult may alight on animal or human excreta and then fly directly to the food on the table, carrying filth and dangerous disease germs, and that a well-screened house, promptly closed doors, and a good fly swatter are aids in protecting the family from contamination and possible slickness. It is the part of the good housekeeper to have the screen doors and window screens in place early in the season before the files get into the house, and to trap, or otherwise kill, as many of the early-season files as possible, before they have had an opportunity to multiply. An individual female fly will lay from 120 to 150 eggs at one time and will usually lay from two to four such batches during a season. These eggs will hatch, under favorable conditions, in less than 24 hours. The larva, or worm, stage usually lasts, in summer, from four to seven days and the pupal, or sleeping stage from three to six days. A few files usually manage to get in any house during the warm weather, either when doors are opened and shut, or through unnoticed cracks or spaces around screens, broken window panes, or other entrances. All foods should be kept covered or screened so that stray files cannot light on them. Putting sticky fly paper and poison preparations about helps to rid the house of those which accidentally get in. A very effective fly poison is made by adding three teaspoonfuls of commercial formalin to a pint of milk or water sweetened with a little brown sugar. It is perfectly obvious, from all that is known and has been written about the life habits of the house fly, that screens, flytraps, fly paper, and fly poisons would be unnecessary if all substances in which files lay their eggs and breed were properly attended to. These include horse, chicken, hog, and cow manure, fermenting garbage, human excrement, and a great variety of fermenting and decaying vegetable and animal materials. All accumulations of these substances should be eliminated, or, if this is not possible, tightly covered or screened so that files cannot reach them. In the country the main source of files is the necessary manure heap. Farmers' Bulletin 851 tells how to care for manure so as to reduce this difficulty to a minimum. The proper disposal of sewage in rural districts is also of the greatest importance because of the likelihood of the spread of fly-borne diseases from human excrement. Other bulletins of the department make valuable suggestions for modern methods of sewage disposal for the farm home.

MEATS FOR THE FAMILY Chicken is so well liked that a different way of cooking this favorite TABLE Chicken en Caserole.—Cut into joints a large fat fowl or two small ones, removing as many of the bones as possible. Put two tablespoonfuls of olive oil, pork fat or butter into a frying pan; as soon as it is hot lay in a few pieces of chicken at a time, turning often until it is well-scaled through but not brown. Take from the pan and add more chicken until all is partly cooked, adding more butter or oil as needed. Put three tablespoonfuls of butter into the pan where the chicken was cooked, add two tablespoonfuls of flour and when well blended turn in three cupfuls of veal stock, or chicken stock made from the bones and trimmings. Scalding the feet of a fowl, removing the skin, then adding the feet to the bones will give the gelatin to the soup which is so desirable. Add a little onion and carrot for seasoning, add the chicken and cover the casserole, baking an hour or more, depending upon the age of the fowl. A spoonful of any good-flavored fruit juice may be added to give additional flavor if desired. Serve in casserole. Baked Chops With Vegetables.—Slice potatoes, using as many as the family usually consumes. Arrange in a large, shallow baking pan, cover with a thin layer of sliced onions, add salt and pepper to season and cover the top with a pork chop for each serving. Season the chops well and bake in a hot oven. When the tops of the chops are brown turn them so that they will be well browned on both sides. Serve from the baking dish. This will also make a substantial meal with a light dessert and a salad if desired. Chicken Baked in Milk—Melt one-fourth of a cupful of butter, add one large onion thinly sliced; cut two young chickens into pieces for serving, cover and cook slowly, turning often, for ten minutes; then add one cupful of chicken stock and cook until the chicken is tender. Remove the chicken, put the stock and onion through a sieve and add one and one-half table-spoonfuls each of butter and flour cooked together. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken on a serving dish, pour the sauce around it and garnish with sliced bananas cut into diagonal slices, dipped in flour and sautéed in butter. There is only one way to get ready for immortality, and that is to love this life and live it bravely and faithfully, and cheerfully if we can.—Henry Van Dyke. A FEW SUBSTANTIAL DISHES Calves' tongues are delicious eating simply stewed until tender, sliced and served hot with the following sauce: Espagnole Sauce (Brown Sauce). — Take chopped calves' feet and veal bones crushed, with raw ham trimmings, cut into pieces, chopped carrots, leeks, onions, celery, Espagnole Sauce (Brown Sauce).—Take chopped calves' feet and veal bones crushed, with raw ham trimmings, cut into pieces, chopped carrots, leeks, onions, celery, parsley roots, salt and pepper, with a little thyme. Practice alone and much tasting will determine the quantities to be used. Add a few cloves, a bay leaf or two; these should be used with caution, and put all into a flat roasting pan, spread sweet fat over all and roast until a golden color. Stir, then the whole may be evenly colored; then sprinkle with flour and brown again, using care that it is not scorched. Now remove the whole mixture to a kettle, add soup stock to fill the kettle and a can of tomatoes. Simmer for six hours, strain and reduce by simmering again three hours. Clear by skimming and straining. Put away on ice. Calves' Tongues Boiled.—Cover four fresh calves' tongues with boiling water, add five slices of carrot, two stalks of celery, one onion stuck with six cloves, fifteen peppercorns and one-half tablespoonful of salt. Cook until the tongues are tender. Remove the skin and roots and cut into halves lengthwise. Cook one-half can of tomatoes with two cupfuls of brown stock reduced to one-half. Reheat the tongues in the sauce. Serve garnished with parsley, lemon slices and triangles of bread sautéed in butter. Virginia Macaroni.—Boll one and one-half cupfuls of inch pieces of macaroni in boiling salted water until tender. Dash over cold water, drain and put half of it in a buttered baking dish, sprinkle with one-half table-spoonful of butter, one-half teaspoonful of musturd, and one-fourth cupful of grated cheese; repeat, pour over one and one-half cupfuls of white sauce, cover with buttered crumbs and bake in a hot oven until the crumbs are brown.
