THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY CONGRESSMAN PRAISES WOMAN'S ORGANIZATION VOL. XXX (Lincoln News Service) WASHINGTON, May 28th, 1924.—When Hon. John L. Cable, Republican congressman from the Fourth District of Ohio, recently addressed the U. S. House of Representatives upon the present-day triumph of women as full-fledged citizens, he embodied in his able remarks references to the National Association of Colored Women and the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, pointing out that the last-named organization belonged to a parent body, the National Council of Women, which has a combined membership of 11,000,000 women, who keep active a great clearing house for thirty-three organizations of women. The congressman spoke of the high privileges and obligations which have rightfully been bestowed upon the women of America, and showed that during the last two years 287 legislative measures, supported by organized women voters, have become laws in the various states. He emphasized that women's organizations are particularly concerned with hygiene, child welfare, education, and efficiency in government, and praised the conferences which have been recently held by the Women's National Farm Gardens Association, the War Mothers' National Memorial Association, and the Women's National Committee for Law Enforcement. Even though only two large organizations of colored women were all that appeared to be active in these national organizations of women, and while their membership must be increased in order to keep apace with the remedies of our needs, it is encouraging to know that her close application to the home and to work has not kept the colored women from participating in these national affairs of which she and her interests are integral parts. This hope is further stimulated by the attendance of colored women at the recent "Political Plattsburghs" of the Republican party, in which they were schooled in the background and platform of the political creed of that party. Reverting, however, to the full citizenship of women, the colored woman has even a greater opportunity than the colored men did when he was led into the forum of voices and votes. The trail has been blazed by the patrols, both black and white, who made possible the continued guardianship of the Republican party over the freemen. The women of today, then, reinforced by the experiences of their men-folk during the past half century, and backed by the political party which has made their advancement more certain, should take care to swell their representation in every activity that bespeaks the full equality of citizenship and the consummation of those hopes which must reign in the hearts of all free-born Americans. Congressman Cable's remarks are well taken, and the references which he made a strong organizations headed by our colored women are inspiring. They made a vivid contrast when compared with the "Black Mammy" monument movement, or the dominated citizenship which the Democratic party has endeavored to prescribe for the colored women, whose vote this year, State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House THE ONLY RELIANCE COLORA RAISES WOMAN'S ZATION Y RELIABLE ORAL THE JO however, will be larger and more powerful than ever.

George Sample, a Negro youth of Binghamton, won first prize in the annual state inter-aqademic speaking contest conducted at Hamilton College on May 10th. His subject was "Abraham Lincoln." --- Virgin Island Schools Gain Under American Tenure Washington, May 28, 1924.—The provisions made by Uncle Sam to educate his wards in the Virgin Islands are shown in a recent report outlining the activities of the department of education of the islands. In the last year of Danish rule (1916-1917) the educational budget was $16,932; in 1917-1918, the year in which the islands were taken over by the United States, it was $19,506, and in 1923-1924, $104,282 was provided. Enrollment of pupils in this period has increased from 2,455 to 2,947. The average daily attendance in 1922-1923, 98.42 per cent, the reports out, is believed to be the highest for the number of pupils enrolled to be found anywhere under the American flag. "It is the current opinion," says the report, "that the public school system of the Virgin Islands is the best in the West Indies and certainly compares very favorably with the public school system of our Southern states. The school equipment is ample and adequate; the school buildings are roomy, well ventilated and well cared for; the teachers are competent and of pleasing appearance, and the pupils, on the while, are well-dressed, appear well advanced in their work and show no signs of malnutrition. There are twenty-nine schools on the islands, divided as follows: Public, 17; private, 8; parochial, 4. Courses in sewing, cooking and woodworking are offered in the public schools, and much emphasis is being placed on mechanical arts, home economics and practical agriculture. Agriculture is now being taught for the first time, and the results are said to be gratifying. Music is a prescribed subject in all schools of the islands, and specially trained teachers are employed to take charge of this work. School orchestras have been organized in the three junior high schools, the instruments having been donated by the American Red Cross. The entire course in musical instruction is under the supervision of a bandmaster of the United States navy and seven competent instructors. There are 107 teachers in the entire school system, and of these 101, or 94 per cent, are colored. The school nursing service, which was established three years ago by the American Red Cross with the assistance of the local government, has developed into one of the most important features of the school program. More than 10,000 treatments have been given to the children by the nurses each year. A splendid co-operation of the navy doctors connected with the department of health, physical defects found are immediately treated and physical examinations are thorough and compare favorable with those given to recruits. A municipal dentist is employed in each health center, who gives free dental treatment to all school children. A marked improvement in the condition of teeth has been revealed by the comparison of the defects found in the yearly physical examinations. The "River of Jordon" in Palestine has at last got to go to work. It is to be harnessed for the creation of power and light. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1924 (Lincoln News Service) Holy Land Contest Drawing to Close Indianapolis, Ind., May 24, 1924. The offer made by the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. of this city to send three ministers on a free trip to Palestine and another to Paris, France, is soon to be fulfilled. The nationwide contest in which the trips are to be awarded is fast drawing to a close. But five short weeks remain to be run and then, July 1, the world will know the winners of these matchless travel prizes. Three hundred fifty-eight ministers were nominated to the contest and have made it the biggest thing of its kind ever attempted by Negro business. Many have proved themselves good campaigners and set dizzy paces for the others. Contestant has rivaled contestant, city has fought against city, state against state, district against district—all in friendly but no less determined competition. Friends have rallied to support their favorite. Churches, lodges, entire cities, organized to put their candidate over and in these last and hottest days of the contest an appeal goes up from them and the candidates to rally round your own. Do your bit. Help send your favorite contestant on a 10,000-mile tour to Palestine free of cost to him. A broadcast warning urges all coupons to be in to the Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. by midnight, June 30. Better Type of Migrants Coming North Better Type of Migrants Coming North (Lincoln News Service) (Lincoln News Service) Columbus, Ohio, May 28.—Writing in the May issue of the Economic World on the subject, "The Southern Negro in Northern Industry," Mr. John B. Abell gives a very interesting and encouraging account of the progress that is being made by the migrants, and in commenting upon the differences in the type of those who came North during the war and those who are now coming says: "A recent check made of 200 newcomers arriving at Cincinnati showed that all but a few had received high school training, had worked at some trade, and were urban dwellers. No small proportion of the number had had one or more years of college training, and were coming North with the hope that they might find some suitable outlet for their knowledge gained through schooling. Of twelve hammer men employed in one plant in Cleveland, five had attended college, and all of the balance had gone through high school." The writer quotes a northern production manager as follows: "For fifty years the North has been sending money into southern states for the education of the Negroes. We are only just beginning to reap the benefits of this expenditure and to realize that we have had a splendid source of labor supply at our back door, while we have been moaning over the decrease of immigration from southern and eastern Europe." A reform edifice has been issued that peek-a-boo waists no longer are to be worn in business by women. Men must concentrate more—on business affairs. Methodists Likely to Elect No Race Bishops Springfield, Mass, May 22—The general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church which will adjourn here next week is not likely to elect any new race bishops. Only three white bishops, it is declared, will be elected. There not being enough work for Bishop Clair in Liberia, his residence will be fixed in Covington, Ky., where he will have charge of the Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas and Tennessee conferences as well as the conference in Liberia. Fraternal Delegates Monday night the conference listened to Bishop J. Arthur Hamlett, of the C. M. E. church and Rev. Sandy Simmons, of South Carolina, of the A. M. E. church, make their fraternal addresses. Bishop R. E. Jones presided. Colored Methodist Union The conference passed a resolution continuing its commission on the federation of colored Methodist churches. Other colored denominations were asked to appoint commissions to work with the M. E. group, first, to effect a union of the race Methodist churches; second, to unite upon the question of denominational school and preparation for the ministry; third, to undertake a full and frank discussion of the work in Liberia in order to avoid duplication. Last week the conference voted that to avoid duplication in schools, the M. E. church would co-operate or unite with schools of other denominations or those under independent control. Bishop Jones Speaks Bishop Jones stirred the conference in an address on Inter-racial Relations last week when he said: "Mixed blood. "It isn't fair to taunt us with it. In states where laws permit there are fewer instances of intermarriage than in territory where it is forbidden. If we had our way we would build a wall so high against intermarriage that no Negro could climb over nor white person break through. "Difficulties with white people! "We do have difficulties, but not all of them are racial difficulties. You and your wives have trouble and belong to the same race. Be thankful for the easy-going, long-suffering disposition of the Negro. You would paint red the Atlantic if you had to put up with the things he patiently endures. "White supremacy! "If you mean by 'white supremacy' the supremacy of the Anglo-Saxon ideals, we agree. If you mean color —no. "Segregation! "If racial consciousness is dynamite, then racial solidarity is TNT. If you want a Negro block that you will have to reckon with, keep on arousing prejudice. "Laziness! "Yes, the Negro is lazy. So are some other folks. He has done more work and done it more cheerfully and received less for it than any other group in America. He does not strike. He may quit work to go to a revival or to a circus, but he doesn't strike. No Negro Near Moses "Thievery! "Yes, the Negro steals. But when the Ten Commandments were passed down to Moses, there wasn't a Negro within a thousand miles." NO. 33. Time to Leave (Lincoln News Service) Baltimore, May 28, 1924.—"When mobs murder or outrage Negro men or women and the victim is unable to protect himself and the law fails or refuses to intervene and extend protection, the Negroes of such community should leave en masse. The happy day has arrived when Negroes can secure work in any part of the country and there is no need for any Negro in any part of the South to remain where he is mistreated, outraged, or murdered. Every mob murder, every mob outrage upon a man, woman or child—every act of oppression winked at by law is an accelerator to Negro migration." (From the Baltimore Herald). "I Am for Economy" (Lincoln News Service) Washington, May 28, 1924.—Striking a note that strongly appeals to the overburdened taxpayers of the country, President Coolidge, in vetoing the Bursum-Fuller pension bill, which veto has since been sustained by the Senate, said: "The need for economy in public expenditure at the present time cannot be overestimated. I am for economy. I am against every unnecessary payment of the money of the taxpayers. No public requirement at the present time ranks with the necessity for the reduction of taxation. This result cannot be secured unless those in authority cease to pass laws which increase the permanent cost of government. The burden of the taxpayers must not be increased; it must be decreased. Every proposal for legislation must be considered in the light of this necessity. The cost of commodities is diminishing. Under such conditions the cost of government ought not to be increasing. The welfare of the whole country must be considered. The desire to do justice to pensioners, however great their merit, must be attended by some solicitude to do justice to taxpayers. The advantage of a class cannot be greater than the welfare of the nation." SHORT CUTS (Lincoln News Service.) There are forty colored school teachers in Detroit. Most women drive automobiles like they do nails. It's not far from a rumble to a rumpus in Congress. We need a few more people like the Malones of St. Louis. Although time is money, it won't buy a prescription in Cleveland. Any ten farmers may unite to form a national farm loan association. If Methuselah had not been a drinking man he might have lived to a ripe old age. In the United States as a whole, about 576 persons in each 1,000 are of voting age. There are more colored persons 65 years of age and over in Philadelphia than in New York or Chicago. In the Congo, where fur coats are not expensive, a man's wealth is reckoned by the number of his wives. It would be great if we could win as many prizes in science and in mechanical skill as we do in oratory. Because most of our "boy orators" are now getting rather old, gray and feeble, we need a new supply for the purpose of entertainment. FOREIGN Premier Raymond Poincare, in a speech at Bar-le-Duc, revealed that he is in complete accord with Premier MacDonald of England, and Premier Theunis of Belgium, "regarding the establishment of economic unity for Germany as soon as Germany puts the Dawes reparation plan into effect." Ambassador Hanlhara may be "permitted to resign" his Washington post shortly, Foreign Minister Matsui told newspaper men in Tokyo. 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. In the largest and most terrific eruption of the volcano Kilauea the entire island of Hawaii was shaken to its foundations according to reports received in Honolulu. The explosion, which sent dust and rocks aloft to a height of approximately one and a half miles lasted for fifteen minutes. Tourists have been warned to visit the vicinity of the volcano at their peril. More than eight million acres of wheat land in western Canada will be signed up under contract to wheat pools this year, according to officials of the organizations in the three prairie provinces. In Alberta, directors of the provincial wheat pool report that between 6,000 and 7,000 acres are being added daily to the contract acreage and they expect three or four million acres to be signed. Red outrages flared up in the Ruhr last week, Communists dynamiting a police station at Stoppenberg and hurling hand grenades into the smoking ruins to complete the destruction. The commandant at Gladbach in the Rhineland, fearing further violence, notified the Reds that a neutral zone has been established around troop headquarters. If the line is overstepped during any disorders, the trespassers will be subject to immediate death, he warned. The great flight of the American around-the-world aviators and the terrible weather which they encountered on their record-breaking trip, was vividly described in Tokio by Lieut. Lowell H. Smith, the acting commander. "It's been one battle after another," said Lieutenant Smith, "one continual fight to keep the airplanes from being damaged by the terrific weather through which we have gone. We knew that the transpacific leg would be the worst of our flight. It was ten times worse than we expected." GENERAL Williamson county returned another of its unusual coroner's jury verdicts when a jury, composed of klan and antklansmen, returned a verdict that Jack Skelcher, suspected assailant of S. Glenn Young and his wife, at Okawville, Ill., "came to his death at the hands of unknown parties." 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. The big dirigible Shenandoah, pride of the United States navy, recently successfully completed its first test flight since Jan. 16, when the big ship was torn loose from its mooringast here during a violent storm. The ship circled around the field, and then proceeded to Lakewood and Tom's river at an altitude of 500 feet. Returning to the station, the ship reached an altitude of 1,200 feet and at times attained a speed of fifty-four miles an hour. A resolution seeking to outlaw war, a plea for uniform marriage and divorce laws, attacks on so-called "vile literature," and the pledging of renewed efforts to close theaters and other amusement places on Sunday, was adopted by the Presbyterian general assembly in session at Grand Rapids, Mich. The "universal peace" resolution was adopted unanimously. Chicago police are engaged in a determined search for a man who mailed a typewritten card to Chief of Police Collins confessing that he murdered Robert Frank, 13-year-old schoolboy, and declaring his intention to take his own life. The card, contained in a plain envelope, and bearing the postmark of a subpostal station, was received by the police chief. Four workmen were killed and ten others injured when they were trapped beneath falling timbers and debris following a dynamite blast in a building excavation in Forty-sixth street, near Broadway in New York City. Forty men were at work in the excavation when the timbers supporting a concrete mixer and a wooden motor truck runway gave way, carrying down tons of gravel and dirt. A 3-year-old girl, Ida Kirtaman, was fatally injured during a riot between groups of white men and negroes in the Hill district of Pittsburg, Pa. The girl was struck on the head by a brick and died later in a hospital. The disturbance was quelled by several squads of police. Plans have been made to accommodate 2,000 visitors in Cincinnati during the week of May 12 to 17, when the annual convention of the National Coal Operators' Association and manufacturers, division of the American Mining Congress will be held there. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE WESTERN The nude body of Theodore Speer, was found in the Snake river near Lewiston, Mont., after county officials had conducted a search for him over a period of several weeks. Speer, a student at the Montana State Normal school, disappeared a few months ago. W. W. Aber entered a plea of guilty in the Circuit Court at Portland, Ore., to charges of practicing fraud in conducting spiritualist seances, and a fine of $25 was imposed upon him by the judge, who set aside a fine of $250 and a jail term of ninety days, which had been imposed upon Abner in Municipal Court. The nation's greatest slaughter house in automobile accidents for its size, Los Angeles' death toll in motor vehicle mishaps for the first four months of 1924 reached a total of 103, according to Los Angeles traffic bureau reports. The total injured was 2,647, the figures revealing an increase in the number killed and a slight decrease in the injured, it was said. Western Colorado stockmen will be interested in an order issued in Washington by the secretary of interior abolishing the driveway between the Utah line and the White River National forest. The order establishing this driveway was rescinded and an order was issued restoring it to entry. This releases a great stretch of land for homesteading and puts a stop to the invasion of swarms of Utah livestock on Colorado soil. Mary c. Tenney of Los Angeles, has filed n $200,000 suit for damages against Jack Kearns, manager for Jack Dempsey, world heavyweight champion, alleging criminal assault May 3. Of the sum demanded in the suit $100,000 is asked for actual damage caused by mental anguish, and $100,000 punitive damages. The complaint alleges the plaintiff was overcome by force and the use of narcotic drugs. Battered and malmed at the hands of enraged convicts, William B. Ward, confessed slayer of Ted Grosh, 19-year-old college athlete, still lived to die by the hangman's noose, after running amuck with a weapon in the state prison at Florence, Arliz. Rising from his knees in prayer, after being baptized by a woman evangelist at the door of his death cell, Ward armed himself with an ice pick and began his attack. He felled a guard and stabbed a choir singer who sung a ceremonial hymn at the religious service for the condemned man. Only a few minutes before, Ward, a negro, had submitted a written confession of the murder of Grosh. WASHINGTON The tax reduction bill has been put up to President Coolidge for final enactment into law by Congress. Like the Senate, the House by an overwhelming majority approved the conference compromise on the main provisions. The vote was 376 to 9. The conference report on the tax reduction bill was approved by the Senate, 60 to 6. Municipalities are free to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors upon physicians' prescriptions, the Supreme Court has ruled. In an opinion by Justice McReynolds it stated that "neither the eighteenth amendment nor the Volstead act grants the right to sell intoxicating liquor within a state. The Senate adopted the majority report of its investigating committee exonerating Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, of the charge of accepting a fee to prosecute oil land claims before the Interior Department after his election to the Senate. The vote on exonerating Senator Wheeler was 56 to 5. The Supreme Court has advanced for hearing on Nov. 10 next the boundary dispute between New Mexico and Colorado. At the request of New and Texas, the Supreme Court Monday set for hearing on Nov. 10 next the case involving their boundary dispute, which has been pending in the court since January, 1913. At least $150,000,000 must be expended if the American navy is to equal Great Britain's in strength, the House was told by Chairman Butler of the naval committee. Before the close of the present session, he said, action will be sought on a bill designed to establish so far as the United States is concerned, the 5-5-3 arms conference ratio. Troops in cantonments in this country during the world war, in training to go over seas, were "not operating against an enemy," the Supreme Court held a few days ago. LATE NEWS From All Over COLORADO Montrose.—With excellent prospects for a good season more than $0,000 sheep were shipped last week to the hills near here for summer pasturing. Some of these came from eastern Utah having been wintered on the desert there, and many of them were driven up from nearby places in the Uncompahgre valley. Boulder.—Maxy Alice Pope, instructor in biology at the University of Colorado, has been awarded a prize of $100 by the Boston Society of Natural History.

Estes Park.—This village, administra- Estes Park.—This village, administra- tain National park, is to have a jail, fire house, and city hall all in one building. For lack of a jail it has been the custom of Estes Park police officers in the past to hold their prisoners by locking them in a room of a hotel and confiscating their clothing. Boulder.—Forty-one vocational students at the University of Colorado are to be graduated June 9, leaving but seventy-five government students at the university.

Leadville.-Mining in the Leadville district is notably encouraged by an important strike of smelter-grade ore in the New Monarch group, for years rated as one of the largest producers of gold-copper ore in the camp, so large, in fact, that the $3,000,000 plant of the Ohio-Colorado Smelting and Refining Company—which "blew in" at Salida in 1801—was originally based upon New Monarch ores. Colorado Springs—Caldwell, Loveland High school track athlete, is the grand pentathlon champion in Colorado scholastic ranks for 1924, with a grand total of 4,915 points, Coach Telfer L.

Craig.—The Union Oil Company of California, discoverer of the Wellington oil well in Larimer county, is soon to be a heavier operator on the western slope of Colorado than it is in the Wellington section, according to C. H. Sherman, superintendent of operations in the Rocky Mountain section. The Union company definitely cast its lot with northwestern Colorado last week when it entered into a contract to drill a well on section 31-5-98 in Moffat county. Denver.—Plans for a $100,000 automobile racing stadium containing a $2½-mile track to be built within a year were announced here by W. W. Whiting, chairman of a special committee of the Denver Motor Club, who will have charge of a series of races to be staged in Overland Park until the club can construct its own bowl. Club officials hope to stage an international automobile race meet in Denver during the semi-centennial celebration in 1926. Idaho Springs.—R. S. Wild, representing the Wild Electric Furnace and Engineering Company of New York, in conference with local mining men, offered on behalf of his company to erect and operate an electric smelter in Idaho Springs provided a tonnage guarantee of at least fifty tons of ore daily would be made.

Pueblo.—Two pleas of guilty to charges of theft were heard here by Judge J. Foster Symes of Denver in Federal District Court. Elmer C. West, who recently went to the postmaster at Grand Junction and confessed voluntarily to a series of small mail robberies at Engle, Rifle and Grand Junction, was freed on his personal recognition with orders to report to the court this coming fall. Asked by the court what prompted him to confess, West declared that he had "gotten religion" and that his conscience forced him to make a clean breast of the past. Lawrence Rickman, express messenger at Salida, Colo., pleaded guilty to thefts amounting to $165, and explained that large doctor bills for himself and wife had led him to get the money in that way. Leniency was recommended by R. E. Blackman, deputy district attorney, and the court sentenced Rickman to ninety days in the county fail. Sterling. — The Colorado Wheat Growers' Association held its annual meeting in Sterling last Tuesday and Wednesday.

Twenty-seven birds have reached the 100 mark during the first six months. Greeley.—H. F. Allen, an attorney of Eaton, Colo., who is alleged to have Jumped a $1,000 bond here in 1923, has been arrested in New Orleans, according to a dispatch. Allen was arrested here on Jan. 5, 1923, charged with the embezzlement of $483.33 from W. J. Michel and Conrad Sitzman of Eaton, Colo. Colorado Springs.—Colorado Springs taxpayers voted a bond issue for $1,250,000 to erect, purchase or equip a municipal light and power plant, ending the bitterest campaign ever waged in a special election. The forty-one precincts gave a majority of 884 votes to the issue, the vote standing 3,178 for the bonds and 2,294 against. Denver.—The aim of the Denver Chamber of Commerce in its reorganization and expansion campaign is centered, not so much on a large membership as on an active 2,400-manpower, according to chamber officials.

L. RIFKIN When it comes to bringing in the local stations (which, after all, are the best in the world) nothing is better than the ordinary crystal for faithful reproduction, clarity and naturalness of tone. it is clean and smooth. A strip of sandpaper about 6 inches by 1 inch is then rolled into a narrow tube and pushed back and forth a few time through the hole in the spool. The spool is then held to the lips and the breath blown forcefully through the The crystal has its disadvantages, however, in that it is unstable and hard to adjust. One must experiment long and patiently in order to find a sensitive spot on the crystal and when after much trouble a sensitive spot has been found a slight accidental jar is enough to get the crystal out of adjustment again. These faults may be remedied by Fig.1. How Detector Is Mounted. the use of crystal detectors of the "fixed" type, that is, those that need very little or no adjustment. These fixed detectors are of three general types; a crystal with a cat whisker permanently attached or sealed to a sensitive spot, two crystals pressing against each other and making contact at one or more sensitive spots, and electrolytic detectors which really are not crystals at all, but are made with chemical pastes that have the property of rectifying or "detecting" radio waves. All three types have their disadvantages. In the first type the permanently connected spot slowly loses its sensitivity and becomes inefficient. In the second type the crystals become oxidized after a time and do not work well. In the electrolytic detectors the paste gradually dries up or is changed by the action of the current passing through it. The Ideal Detector. Obviously, then, the ideal fixed crystal detector would be one which would stay "fixed" when a sensitive spot was found and which would allow adjustments to be made in the Fig2. The Dowel Sticks. event of the original adjustment losing its sensitivity after a period of use. Such a detector can be easily made by any radio fan from a few simple parts found in every home. The materials needed are: A small spool; a crystal; a small dowel stick; two small brass angles; two small machine screws; two small bolts with nuts; 2 feet No. 26 or 28 wire. The spool is first sandpapered until BY WILFORD LAHMAN An efficient grid leak can be made directly on the base of the tube, and will give excellent results. Holding the tube with the base facing you, having the pin up as shown in the diagram, the top and bottom posts on the right are the grid and filament terminals respectively. A drop of india ink is placed at the base of these Pin Pencil lines Socket Drop of India ink An Excellent Grid Leak. posts and allowed to dry. Several pencil lines are now drawn from one drop to the other according to the resistance of the leak desired. Best results will usually be had by connecting the positive terminal of the "A" battery to the leak. China Cups and Bowls An emergency loud speaker can easily be made by putting each telephone receiver of a headset in an ordinary china cup, with the ear cap down. The volume obtainable is often astonishing. Round cut glass fruit bowls, or wooden chopping bowls are also quite effective. If the bottom of the dish is rather flat, the 'phone must be propped up by a couple of match sticks. Working along the same lines, picture frames and window panes can be experimented with. A very novel effect can be had by hanging a loud speaker unit, or a particularly good earphone, against a window which is draped with curtains. If an unsuspecting person is then seated it is clean and smooth. A strip of sandpaper about 6 inches by 1 inch is then rolled into a narrow tube and pushed back and forth a few times through the hole in the spool. The spool is then held to the lips and the breath blown forcefully through the hole to expel the sawdust. The dowel stick is now split in half lengthwise and a 12-inch length of No. 26 or 28 wire is placed between the two halves so that about three-sixteenths of an inch of the wire projects from the end of the dowel stick, as shown in Fig. 2. The stick is then pushed into the spool hole about one-fourth of the length of the spool and is then cut off flush with the end of the spool. Care should be taken not to break the wire in cutting off the surplus end of the stick. A crystal is now broken into little pieces by a heavy blow with a large headed hammer. These pieces are tested for sensitivity by the method shown in Fig. 3. Crystal Sifted Into Spool. The most sensitive pieces are then pulverized into a coarse powder with the hammer. Care should be taken not to touch the crystal grains with the fingers, since this would spread a thin film of oil over them and render them practically useless. These grains are scooped up with a piece of clean paper and sifted into the open end of the spool hole until the hole is about three-fourths full. Then another cat whisker is made from the rest of the dowel stick and Battery Turns around ground wire Push Button Crystal Fig.3 To Test Crystal. another 12-inch length of wire and pushed into the open end of the hole. These dowel sticks should fit very tightly, so that some pressure is required to force them into the spool hole, otherwise some of the crystal grains may fall out. The two small brass angles are now attached to the ends of the spool by means of the machine screws (Fig. 1). The detector is then placed on the panel or base and the holes for mounting it are marked and drilled. Fig. 1 shows how the detector is mounted. The wires leading from the cat whiskers are wound around or soldered to the heads of the bolts and connections to the set are made from lugs placed between the two nuts on the ends of each bolt. When all is completed the detector may be given a really businesslike appearance by two or three coats of shiny black enamel. To adjust the detector, tap the thin part of the spool with the end of a pencil. A sensitive spot will soon be found. If after use the adjustment loses its sensitivity somewhat a few more taps with the pencil will again make the crystal "bring home the bacon."—New York Sun and Globe. near that window, and the set turned on suddenly, the result is very amusing. Avoid Oscillation The main difficulty with homemade radio frequency amplifiers is that the tubes go into oscillation, and in such condition the only thing received will be howls and squeaks. The same applies to a neutrodyne set, unless the neutralizing condensers are properly adjusted. In this latter type of set the squeals and whistles are supposed to be neutralized out. SHORT CIRCUITS Single circuit tuners may be made more selective by using a short antenna. When the storage battery runs down, just when company is coming to hear the set, connect a dry cell in series with the battery and you can receive the concerts as well as formerly. By connecting the variable condensers in the correct manner all capacity effect from the operator's hands will be eliminated; therefore if there is any capacity noted in a set shift the connections to the condensers. A makeshift vernier may be made by using a pencil with a rubber on one end. The rubber is placed on the panel and touching the edge of the dial. By turning the pencil the dial will turn slowly. It must be understood that a loosely coupled varlocoupler of the three-circuit design is by far much more selective than that of the close-coupled tuner. A loose binding post on a panel is a source of annoyance. This may be prevented by the use of small lock washers, which may be put under the nut at the rear of the panel before the nut is tightened down. DONKEY AND MULE SERVE MAN WELL In Some Countries Rank Far Above Horse. The donkey and the mule, slandered and slurred, more often cursed than discussed, maligned and impugned as obstreperous, cantankerous beasts of burden, have served man long and well. The best donkays, says the Brooklyn Eagle, are not to be found in this country, although in the coal mines and mountainous regions the patiently working little beasts daily render a service that no other animal could well perform. Because of their hard, tough hoofs they are able to climb rugged and rocky mountains and to traverse parts of the earth's surface that would be impassable to a horse. The donkeys of Spain are especially good, and in Egypt the donkey is far more precious than the horse. It is said that the donkey is far better able to find its way over the desert than is the camel, and travelers have reported seeing long lines of camels traveling in a caravan with a single donkey in the lead. The camels carry the water supply for their little pilot of the caravan and, in return for this service, he leads them safely in the right direction. The donkey is the father of the mule. On the eastern continent donkeys run wild and have interbred with horses. The mule is the result of this interbreeding, its father being the donkey and its mother the horse. The mule and the donkey are alike in many respects. The mule is the larger of the two animals, but both have the same streak of obstinacy and an excellent memory. As a matter of fact, their memory is often too good. They will long remember people who have mistreated them and plainly show their resentment for a long time after. They are allike endowed with a will power that is peculiarly strong and they like to have their own way. This trait has earned for them the reputation of being balky, obstreperous and obstinate. The donkey has a mouth that is lined with very tough skin so that he can live on vegetable fare that would probably kill a less hardy animal. Thistles he can mastache thoroughly. Both the mule and the donkey can live on rough food on which a horse would starve to death. Each eats considerably less than a horse. In European and Aslatic countries and, in fact, in all countries where there is much mountainous territory, a great part of the commerce is dependent upon the donkey. The hardy little animal can carry a load of unbelievable weight with apparent ease and little discomfort. Caravans of them will start on a long trip over the mountains heavily loaded with merchandise for all parts of the world. Over the mountains and down to a seaport he will carry his burden. There the cargo of spices, camphor and what not is loaded on ships and carried to the four corners of the earth. The Caste System This is a social system in India. The population is divided into a large number of hereditary groups which refuse to have anything to do with members of any other group. In some parts of India there are as many as two hundred of these groups, any member of which would be considered tainted if he so much as sat down at a table with a member of a lower caste. The system is now being rapidly broken down by the influence of the British. Castes are supposed to have had their origin in the successive conquests of the country by peoples from the north. With each conquest the superior caste was supplanted by a conquering caste. These different classes refused to intermarry and for the most part the individuals followed the occupations of their fathers. The word "caste" is now loosely applied to the different social classes in any country.—The Pathfinder. Pre-Raphaelites The name "Pre-Raphaelites" was given in England about 1850 to a group of painters, including Millais, Holman Hunt, Alma Tadema and Dante Gabriel Rosetti, who rebelled against the conventionality of routine teaching in art, and sought to return to the natural method, as practiced previous to the time of Raphael (1483-1520). The Pre-Raphaelites were ably championed by the famous art critic, John Ruskin. As a school they were severely criticized, but their work was productive of much good.—Kansas City Star. Don't Pass on Learning Descendants of educated rats are just as stupid as their parents were before going to school. At least that is what results of experiments on 247 animals by E. M. Vicarl of the zoological laboratory of Columbia university, published in Science, seem to indicate. He found that rats of the fourth generation did not learn how to find food in a labyrinth any quicker than had their ancestors of the first generation. Pleasing Bobby "That's a remarkably strong sauce you have, Mrs. Tabasco," said the visitor, as he wiped a tear from his eyes. "Yes," was the reply. "We always have a bottle on the table, although we don't use it ourselves." The visitor looked puzzled. "Well, you see," came the explanation, "it does so amuse Bobby when people take an overdose and pretend they like it." EXCLUSION ACT IS PROTESTED JAPANESE CABINET APPROVES TEXT OF NOTE SENT TO UNITED STATES JAPAN SENDS NOTE IMMIGRATION BILL EXCLUDING JAPANESE BRINGS PRO- TEST FROM TOKIO Tokio.—The cabinet has approved the text of the protest against the provision of the American immigration bill excluding Japanese from that country. The protest will be sent immediately to Ambassador Hanihara, whose return to Japan, when the protest has been dealt with, the cabinet also approved. Tokio.—Final touches were given the Japanese protest to the American immigration bill at a lengthy conference between Tsuneo Matsudaira, vice minister of foreign affairs; Kijuro Shidehara, former ambassador to the United States, and Sadao Saburi, who was left in charge of the Japanese embassy in Washington when Shidehara's health necessitated his return home. Foreign Minister Matsui admitted in interviews with newspaper men that he was deeply disappointed at the final enactment of the immigration bill. He refused, however, to discuss the protest or make any statement regarding its contents. Concerning the possible future of Ambassador Hanihara, the foreign minister only said that Hanihara is expected to return to Japan and that the government would permit him to do so. From official sources, however, it was learned that Hanihara is likely to leave Washington as soon as all official business in connection with the Japanese protest is safely out of the way. This, it was stated, may be within three weeks. It was pointed out that such a return to Tokio would not mean that Hanihara had resigned, as the rank of ambassador is a permanent one in the Japanese foreign office. It is anticipated in official circles, however, that Hanihara will request a change of post on his return to Japan and will either remain in Tokio or be assigned to some other post than the American capital. Signature of President Coolidge on the new American immigration does not settle the question of Japanese exclusion, from the point of view of the Japanese government, it was indicated here. Methodists Lift Amusement Ban SSpringfield, Mass.—The Methodist ban upon amusements, except those "which cannot be used in the name of the Lord Jesus," was lifted by a 5 to 1 vote of the Methodist Episcopal general conference here. A minority report forbidding theater attendance on Sundays and specifying dancing and immoral theater performances was tabled by 400 votes to 295. There was no debate. Dr. George Elliott of Detroit presented the majority report of a standing committee on the state of the church. Inventor Rejects U. S. Offer Paris.—H. Grindell Matthews, inventor of the "diabolic ray," received an offer from the United States Navy Department to purchase his secret, but rejected it, says the Herald. Cancer Cure Predicted by Dr. Mayo New York.-American doctors will find a cure for cancer within a few years, it was predicted by Dr. Charles H. Mayo of Rochester, Minn., who spoke at the opening of the New York City Cancer Institute. "We're going to conquer cancer—that terrible disease—and rid the world of it, regardless of cost," he said. He added it was not certain whether serum, radium or X-ray would be found to be the cure. Overeating, he said, was one of the principal causes of the disease. Daring Girl Bandit Captured Peoria, Ill.—Norma Anderson, 18 years old, who, with a baby in her arms, held up the Steenburg bank at Farmington, was arrested at Hanna City after she forced a taxicab driver at the point of a gun to hurry her away. Over $1,000 in cash which she grabbed from a teller's window was recovered. The girl, after her arrest, claimed she held up the bank because it owed her some money. Bank officials deny this, and say they never saw the girl before. Ludendorff Assailed by Reichstag Berlin.—The first session of the rechsting closed amidst turmoil precipitated by the Communists. Communist members holding blue goggles in their hands, advanced upon the seat occupied by Gen. Erich Ludendorff, shouting "bloodhound" and "murderer." The goggles were an allusion to the disguise adopted by Ludendorff when he fled to Sweden after the collapse of the German army in 1918 wearing a disguise.

IT is evident from what has already taken place in several states of the union that issues are going to be injected in the national election of this year that will call for a more studious consideration on the part of members of our group than in any election since the civil war. "A certain organization" boasting of its strength and influence has openly invaded the political field in many states, with an offering of its support to those candidates that would, in a measure, be susceptible to its bidding. It is the old, old story of Satan offering the world and all its riches to any who would bow down and worship him. Plainly speaking, it appears almost certain at this time that the "klan" issue will be fought out in many states, if not nationally and Colorado may be one of the hottest battle grounds. As members of the Negro race we know in advance what to expect, should this 'certain organization' come into power, and knowing it, the next question is what are we going to do to hinder its program. Of late years it has been exceedingly painful to note the awful disparity existing between the boasted numerical strength of the Negro and the actual voting strength of the Negro as revealed on election day. Accepting as true that a rigid, intelligent use of the ballot is our greatest source of power, can it be said we are properly utilizing the power that is so easily within our grasp. The history of the past few years tell a painful story. Thousands of Negroes in Denver and Colorado do not register and vote, yet prating loud about what they call "our rights" and constantly abusing the "Jim Crow" and disfranchisement policies of the South. Negroes are leaving the southland and flocking to the North because of unfair, unjust and criminal oppression that no self-respecting race should submit to. Every thought surrounding the immigration movement, suggests the common sense seeking of a land of larger opportunity and a freer application of Constitutional rights. But subsequent facts fail to sustain our thoughts and beliefs. What comes much nearer being true, is that we complain loud and long against disfranchisement in the South through the criminal cunning of the white man, while in the North virtual disfranchisement is brought about through the criminal indifference of the Negro himself. In the South we contend for the rights and privileges guaranteed us by the Constitution of the United States, while as soon as we reach the North we sleep upon these same-rights. If, as appears highly probable at this time, issues peculiarly vital to the Negro be injected in this campaign, there is but one thing for us to do, and that will be to qualify ourselves to smite the enemy, hip and thigh, at the ballot box. Those of the race holding positions of leadership, whether in church, school or lodge, should preach the one gospel to Negroes, that they register and prepare. We are not urging the interests of any candidate nor even of a party at this time. We want the Negro to wake up and be cognizant of his power, and not lay sleeping while he is being shorn of that power through the "Dellah" of political indifference. Unless this is done, let us hear no more about others denying to us "our rights;" let us hold no more indignation meetings, let us put a silencer on public protests, and confess ourselves unwilling to exercise the right of citizenship at the polls in the North, that is so flagrantly denied us at the polls in the South. MEMORIAL DAY REVERENCE and patriotism marked the 1924 observance of Memorial Day in Denver Friday. May it ever be so. We trust the day will never come when there will be less of reverence for the nation's heroic dead, of all wars, than was shown in every part of our city. It reflects to our honor and glory that years and age has in no wise dimmed the memory of the living for their fighting dead. The great Memorial Day parade participated in by many organizations was both panoramic and historical. Marching side by side and linked by an unbreakable bond of patriotic devotion were veterans of three generations and of three great wars. The first to command our supreme respect were the white haired veterans of the Civil war, out which sprang the greatest nation in the world and a new meaning given to liberty and freedom. Then, coming to challenge our admiration in rapid succession were veterans of the Spanish-American war and of the great World war. We cannot, we must not, discount the meaning of Memorial Day nor should we fail to draw from its observance every inspiration for a deeper spirit of true patriotism. In a sacred tribute from the living to the dead, we honor ourselves far more than is possible for us to honor those who met the supreme crisis of civilization with a conquering courage and limitless devotion. Graves were strewn with flowers, the beautiful folds of the stars and stripes floated gracefully from public buildings and from private homes. But flowers were not placed upon the graves of those, our countrymen, not alone because of their death, but because we rejoice that they are in God's keeping and the principles for which they died have become a great part of our national honor. A pretty ceremony was enacted in one of the local churches last Sunday where assembled the Spanish War Veterans, the American Legion and their women auxiliaries. Each of the units seem imbued with a common spirit, a touch, pathetic comradeship was evidenced among the men, and tender solicitude offered their auxiliaries. The occasion seemed strangely hallowed as men and women assembled, not to exalt over the conquered nor even to glorify over extended domain or increased power, but to invoke the favor of a kind Providence that has watched over our nation and to pledge ourselves anew to the cause of liberty, humanity and justice to which our nation is dedicated. Moreover, the occasion was seized upon as fitting for the distribution of "Poppies" the emblematic flower of Flanders Fields, the very thought of which brings a tear to the eyes as memory reverts to the sleeping thousands "Over There." Memorial day is the one holy day in our American life that can be properly observed by all races of men, for all have walked with equal intrepidity into the jaws of wars inferno, all have known the lonely vigil, the muddy trench, the dangerous past, the hail of shot and shell, the blood and tears. The glory of heroic service on land and sea, at home and abroad spreads its mighty mantle over all who go to make up a great cosmopolitan, American citizenship. It was for these and to these we paid our tribute of praise, to these, the veterans of the sixties, the veterans of the Spanish war, and to the buoyant, light hearted heroes of the World war we give of our heartiest affection and offer the sincerest tribute. A nation will not drift far from its moorings so long as its heart throbs are measured by gratitude and so long as the value of heroic sacrifice carries the priceless love of country to the high throne of God's mercy. American destiny is assured along high ground and her heritage beyond the grasp of greedy powers if we bnut continue through the ages, the custom of today of holding sacred a Memorial Day in honor of those who died that a nation might live. Immediate Filipino Independence a Heartless Betrayal of Our Trust By GEN. LEONARD WOOD, in Report to Secretary Weeks. ISYMPATHIZE deeply with the desire of the Filipino people for independence but know they are not yet prepared to assume its responsibility, either from the standpoint of instructed public opinion, preparedness for defense, a common language or economic resources. To grant immediate independence would be a heartless betrayal of our trust and result in turning over the 12,000,000 people of these islands to strife and disorder in the near future, for it would result in almost immediate serious clashes between the Moros and Christian Filipinos, the former being a unit against independence and desiring the continuance of American sovereignty. It would defeat true independence, both economic and political, ruin the sugar and tobacco industries, destroy confidence in investments with resulting wrecking of the finances of the islands with attendant idleness and disorders. It would be a serious blow to western civilization and to the Christian effort in the Far East, and render unavailing or destroy much of our work here. I am convinced that the people as a whole in their hearts appreciate the benefits which have come to them under our flag and that our government here is conducted for their best interests. I am sure that once the actual conditions are known to the American people and to congress it will not be the policy of either to abandon these people until they are prepared to maintain a stable government and meet the obligations of an independent national existence. We must not be swept off our feet by the purely local and artificial agitation produced by a small group fanning the very natural desire of the people for independence. In conclusion, as I see it, the responsibility rests squarely upon us to continue our work here until we ourselves are satisfied these people are prepared to maintain an independent national existence. "In Future Warfare the First Big Naval Fight Will Settle the War" In future warfare the first big naval fight will settle the war. Hence in peace you've got to train men so that in their first battle they'll be veterans. Simple justice to our men requires providing them with ships and guns at least equal to any other nation's. Less than that is to send them to execution—to say nothing of the safety of the nation. The folly of having anything less than the best would be criminal folly. The particular naval problem most appealing to me is the moral equation. There are two sides to it. First, the general moral elevation of the nation. Second, the high efficiency in morale and training of the navy. The days when men could win battles in a blind, drunken fury have long since passed. Today the winning of battles requires a moral courage so great that a man can engage in the intricate problem of hitting a target without even thinking of danger, although he knows that in an instant he may be annihilated. We must recognize that, even if every nation in the world subscribes to the principle that there never shall be war any more, it will be necessary to buttress that resolution by adequate armies and navies and by continued and daily effort to keep the peace among nations. Hitting a target shows how the moral life of a nation enters into the good shot. For in the matter of the training and the equipment and the supplies the whole nation has been making ready for that shot. It's really the nation that's hitting. "When I Think of the Millions of Downtrodden Men in Latin America—" By IGNACIO CALDERON, Bolivian Diplomat and Publicist. When I think of the millions of downtrodden men in Latin America capable of becoming valuable and worthy citizens of a republic, left to the miserable, pitiful fate that is theirs, I am astonished there has not been created some Pan-American association for general education, an organization which would establish as many schools as possible to start the work of redemption of the Indian inhabitants of the Spanish republic. Such a Pan-American educational organization as I suggest, if it strictly avoids proselytizing, which only creates disturbances and opposition, could accomplish much. The schools to be established should be entirely educational, for manual training and agriculture. Notwithstanding centuries of submission, the Indians remain a sturdy and intelligent race, without which the countries that have them could not subsist. No greater duty devolves on the democracies of America than to make intelligent and educated citizens of the now abject and oppressed Indians. Every sentiment of humanity, every principle of justice and duty call for the redeeming of those millions of abused members of the so-called Latin-American republics, where no equality in fact exists, and where want of education leaves these victims at the mercy of their oppressors. Bolshevism Nothing More and Nothing Less Than Socialism in Action By CHARLES H. SHERRILL, in "The Purple or the Red." There is no better background against which to study Bolshevism than the cool common sense of Belgium. It throws out into bold relief all the nonsense of the movement. The Belgians are a hard-headed people with few enthusiasms, and therefore well qualified to strip off shams. It did not take long for them to see that Bolshevism is nothing more and nothing less than socialism in action, socialism given a free hand to carry out in government the theories which they urge in their campaigns. Perhaps it is unfortunate that this new word Bolshevism has come out of Russia and has been so generally taken up by the press of the world, for it enables the Socialist party elsewhere in Europe to sidestep the responsibility of blood brotherhood with it. As it is, Socialists possessing an innocuous name are able to carry on and to claim that theirs is a different system from that which under the label of Bolshevism has made such a hideous failure in Russia. Socialism has a way of constantly shifting its ground, but the underlying fact, better understood in sensible Belgium than anywhere else, is that wherever socialism arrives politically it proves to be communism, and communism in practice means that the slackers knock off work and live on the stock in hand Gales of GOTHAM and other CITIES What to Do? And What Would You Do? What to Do? And What Would You Do? CHILCAGO.—Your conscience is clear and you are minding your own business as you walk down Michigan boulevard. A girl you've never laid eyes on before snuggles up to you and murmurs, decisively, "Give me your dough or I'll scream and call a cop." What would you do? Nineteen-year-old Harold Brophy, as he told the Central police, calmly handed over $23 and his 26 cents, and called it cheap at the price. Harold was strolling down the boulevard when a smartly-gowned woman gripped his arm and ordered, "Give me your money, quick, or I'll scream." Harold proffered a dollar. The lady demanded his roll. He handed over $23 and some change. She returned 26 cents, and went on her way. "I gave her the dough," Harold explained to the police, "because I thought she'd make good her threat, and scream. The cops would have come. Sure, they'd believe her story. Hauled me to jail. What judge'd believe my yarn? Fat chance I'd have had." But other Chicago men, prominent and married, are of the opinion, theoretically at least, that they would "let her scream." Some even hinted that they'd add the suggestion that she "go to the devil." And as they speculated on this new feminine outdoor sport of shakedown, these Chicago men charted the several Collie Gets a Medal and Deserves It SILVERTON, ORE. — One fine morning in August, 1923, Mr. and Mrs. Brazier started from their home in Silverton, for a motor trip to Wolcott, Ind. Bob, a collee puppy, nearly grown, was taken along. He rode in the car and on the running board, and when the car was left in garages he remained with it as guardian. One day in eastern Iowa Bob disappeared. Mr. and Mrs. Brazier went on to their Indiana destination, where they visited two or three weeks, and then turned back toward Oregon. Months passed and the Braziers had given up all hope of ever seeing their dog again as advertising and all other efforts had proved vain. Their surprise can be imagined when, February 15, 1024, he came bounding upon the porch of his old home in Silverton. He was no longer a puppy, he was travel-worn and thin, his toenails were ground down almost into the flesh from long contact with hard roads and his coat was weather-stained and shaggy; but it was Bob. There was no mistaking that, and there was no mistaking his joy at being home again. He was given a sirloin steak and a pint of cream and taken to the basement, where his old bed remained undisturbed. He curled up on the Barnum's "One-a-Minute" Far Too Small DESPLAINES, ILL. — Sheriff Peter M. Hoffman of Chicago saved his old friend, Barney Winkelman, proprietor of the Desplaines hotel in Desplaines, from being bliked of $14,000 by a group of clever con men. Winkelman was about to hand an agent of the con men a certified check for that amount when deputy sheriffs and three Chicago detectives stopped the deal. They arrested the agent who gives the name of Harry Nelson and says he hails from Dennison, Texas. According to Winkelman's story to the police, he was working in his garden when Nelson, a suave mannered man with "a line all his own," paused to inquire if he had any property to sell, such as a hotel, for instance. Winkelman said he'd sell his property for $40,000. Nelson said he'd have to consult first with the prospective purchaser, a "Mexican colonel" residing at the Chicago Beach hotel. He escorted Winkelman to room 622 in the Chicago Beach hotel where he was introduced to the "colonel" and a man named Tom. The "colonel" instructed "Tom" to make out a check for $5,000 to bind the deal. But the conversation turned to Mexican bonds and bonds on lands in Girl Scouts as Heroic as the Boy Scouts Girl Scouts as Heroic as the Boy Scouts NEW YORK.—Eighty-one girl scouts have helped to save the lives of others and more than one-third of these did so at the risk of their own lives. These are the figures for the last four years given out by Mrs. Arthur O. Chonte, chairman of standards committee of girl scouts from the headquarters of that organization at No. 189 Lexington avenue. The girl scouts award silver medals to those saving the lives of others without jeopardizing their own. Bronze medals go to those rescuing others at the risk of their own. Girl scouts have not kept a complete record of their heroines for the entire 11 years of the organization's existence in America. Medals were awarded to girls in New York state, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Illinois, Ohio, Georgia, Massachusetts, Maine, Alabama, Connecticut, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Colorado, California, Michigan, Minnesota, Florida, Texas and Wisconsin. Hawaii has one girl scout heroe in its capital, Honolulu. courses open to a man placed suddenly in this not too comfortable position —namely: 1. Hand over the money. 2. Bargain for terms. 3. Give her some money, follow her, and get a policeman. 4. Refuse the money and tell her to go to the deuce. 5. Refuse the money, dare her to yell, and pray she won't have the nerve. 6. Beat it as quickly as possible. This sextet of reasons, discussed by the city's braver sex, agreed on one thing—that the girl had the best of it, no matter what the man did. That bachelor gentleman in the story who was compelled to choose between the lady and the tiger had an easy time of it compared to the married man on Lake Shore drive who is obliged of a sudden to decide between the lady shucked down artist and the mob. In spite of this, there are plenty of Chicago men who would prefer to try to "outsmart" the lady and would refuse to part with a cent. Henry Kitchell Webster, novelist, thinks the situation is almost too dramatic to be real. "It would be a splendid bit of drama for a play." Mr. Webster points out. If the girl really screamed there'd be fifteen or twenty fists ready to punch the man. And, whatever the poor man said, whatever he did, the public would murmur, "A likely story that." bed and for three days was "dead to the world." When he awoke and stretched himself he seemed as good as ever and ready to take up life where he had left off when he started on his long adventure. Mr. Brazler wrote to many persons along the route. Back came numerous letters establishing the fact that Bob had set out on foot for Wolcott, guided by some strange sense that enabled him to follow the exact roads his master had taken. When he reached Wolcott he found the Brazlers had turned back toward home; so back he turned. Garage men wrote that they recognized him when he appeared, but that he would not permit anyone to catch him. He would eat quickly the food they gave him and depart. Summer changed into autumn and then a cold, stormy winter, but through it all the collile continued to make his way westward, back to the home of his puppyhood. The Oregon Humane society put in a lot of time verifying Bob's "log." It then staged a public ceremony, at which he was given a silver medal bearing this inscription: "Bob; lost in Iowa, walked to Indiana and returned to Silverton, Ore., February 15, 1924; about 3,000 miles." Texas—"leaders," Winkelman believes they were called—and the "colonel" wanted to know if Winkelman cared to go into a deal to make 1½ per cent profit quickly and surely. Winkelman did. All four taxed out to an address on Lill street, South Chicago—Winkelman thinks it was 4410—and there met an old man. This old man had 5,066 bonds which he wanted to sell for $20 each. "Tom" bought 16 of the bonds and they were taken over to a broker in a hotel on Fifty-seventh street who bought them for $800. There was a profit of $480 inside of an hour. The old man was induced to take the remaining 5,050 bonds to the broker who pronounced them o. k. He tendered the old man a check for $100,-300 and gave him $700 in cash. The bonds had to be signed by the old man. He refused to sign unless he was paid fully in cash. The "colonel," "Ton" and Nelson were able to raise all but $15,000. Winkelman went back to Desplaines, had a certified check made out for that amount and was awaiting the arrival of Nelson when he happened to see his old friend, "Pete" Hoffman. Sheriff Hoffman listened. Then he grabbed the phone. According to the records, New York and Massachusetts tie with the highest number of girl scouts who have won the bronze cross. Each contributed four. New Jersey and Pennsylvania come next with three bronze crosses. Massachusetts has the largest number of girl scouts who have won the silver cross by rescuing others by their quick wit and knowledge of life saving. Massachusetts numbers 12 girl scout silver medal holders. Pennsylvania is second with 11. New Jersey has ten and New York has seven. The girl scouts rescued people from fire or from drowning in many cases. In one case a girl scout saved a baby in its perambulator from an oncoming train. Another instance of service was that of a girl scout who was able to bind up a wound caused by the reopening of a major operation and then summon an ambulance immediately. The hospital authorities were certain that without the prompt aid given by this girl scout the woman would have bled to death. FANE COLORAD Us STATESMAN * Mrs, R. H.

EDNA FISHER DIES Sudden End Comes When Complete Recovery Seems Certain Mrs. Edna Fisher passed away sud- denly Sunday afternoon at her home, 2341 Downing street, within less than an hour after she had reached home from St. Luke’s hospital apparently, triumphant over a serious illness fol- lowing a severe operation on April 29. Alighting from a taxi at 8:30 to greet her anxious mother, whose vigil for hours on the front porch was being re- warded by seeing her daughter return home with every prospect of perfect health, Mrs. Fisher walked, unassisted up the stairway, only to fall in a faint- ing spell from which she could not be aroused. All that human aid and knowledge could was rushed to her, but of no avail. Thus week after week ‘Denver Is given shock after shock over the sudden death of some outstanding man or woman.

CRITICISM or the calling to one’s attention of their faults is seldom kind: ly received, therefore we do not expect to add to our list of subseribers those who we criticise, but as they happen tto be members of our race and our object is to help as much as we can to bring It ont of the background to_ the front ranks among races of mankind we sometimes offer friendly eriticism. ‘To accomplish our desire we know that it will take brave men, noble women and good children, but these cannot be obtained from dissipated menor immoral women. ‘Thus it is In the spir- it of friendship that we offer friendly criticism to those members of the race who persist. in living the lives of hypocrisy and deceit, Pushing them: selves by one device or another into places where they are utterly unfit to ‘occupy. Race pride, if nothing else, should keep those persons who are morally unfit for any kind of decent compan: fons, from entering homes where par- ents are honestly endeavoring to raise good families. Shame should make them hide their faces from places where decent peo- ple assemble and their moral unfitness should be brought to their knowledge with the hope that they may change their way of living and honestly en- deavor to live better lives. We feel that any true friend will tell us of our faults and that it Is ev- ery man’s duty to try to correct those faults and become a strong, beneficial man in every respect. In that way we believe that friendly criticism will help each-of-us to become:stronger.

Nisner FEATHER PLUME FALLS Photo © by Hileman TWO MEDICINE LAKE Photo © by Hileman this fall (1923). Also a contract has been let for the construction of eight or nine miles, on the east side, including the construction of a bridge across ROCKY MOUNTAIN GOAT Photo © by Hileman By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN G LACIER NATIONAL PARK, up next to the Canadian line in Montana and a public playground of the first class, had its most successful season in 1923 and will doubtless set a new record this year. Glacier will come to its own in the matter of attendance with the completion of its Transmountain Road across the Continental Divide, over Logan Pass, now in the third year of construction by the national park service. Already the service is planning for substantial extensions to present accommodations for visitors, which will then be necessary. Says Stephen T. Mather, director of the national park service, in his 1923 annual report to the secretary of the interior: In common with the majority of the other national parks, Glacier experienced her most successful season, enjoying more patronage than in any previous year, 33,988 visitors having registered in the park as compared with 23,935 visitors in 1922. This is only a forerunner of a tremendous increase in travel that is certain to take place on the completion of the Transmountain Road, now in its third year of construction. Motor trailing on northern highways to Glacier never have had a direct route across the Continental Divide, this barrier requiring a detour of several hundred miles to the south. The Transmountain Road, crossing the Continental Divide through Logan Pass, will aside from furnishing a direct means of traversing the mountains, attract thousands of motorists by its unsurpassed scenic qualities. This is good as far as it goes, but the situation may be made plainer by a more detailed explanation of Glacier's hard luck in the matter of automobile highways. An attendance of only 33,988 for a first-class national park like Glacier is a joke—and a bad one. But the reasons for this comparatively small attendance are easily found. A few years ago the bulk of the tourist travel to the national parks was by railroad. Now the bulk of it is by private car. The per cent varies. Contrasting examples: Rocky Mountain, in 1923, had 51,800 private cars in which probably more than 80 per cent of its 218,000 visitors traveled. Glacier had 5,590 private cars; not more than 50 per cent of its 33,988 visitors arrived by private car. This tells part of the story. Rocky Mountain is of no higher class than Glacier and is only about one quarter as large—400 square miles in the one and 1,539 in the other—but Rocky Mountain is the most easily accessible by automobile from the geographical and population center of the country of all the 19 national parks. Another factor in the attendance comparison between Rocky Mountain and Glacier is this: Each park has an independent east and west entrance on either side of the Continental Divide, each entrance taking care of separate and distinct lines of automobile tourist travel. In Rocky Mountain the east and west entrances are Estes Park and Grand Lake. In Glacier they are Glacier Park and Belton. In Rocky Mountain the Fall River Road crosses the Continental Divide, connects Estes Park and Grand Lake and makes possible through traffic, which otherwise would be impossible. In Glacier automobile tourist travel from both the east and west halts at the Continental Divide. The Great Northern, which serves Glacier and runs along the south line of the park, ameliorates the situation by maintaining daily shipments of motor cars between the two entrances. Unless motorists take advantage of this rail shipment they have to make a wide detour either through Montana—as far south as Helena—or through Canada. What the Fall River Road does for Rocky Mountain the Transmountain Road will do for Glacier. Here is what the 1923 reports says of the progress of the work: Work on the second section of the Transmountain Road on the west side was begun and about six miles extending from the end of the first sec. to the head of Lake McDonald. up McDonald Creek to above Avalanche Creek, will be finished this fall (1923). Also a contract has been let for the construction of eight or nine miles, on the east side, including the construction of a bridge across the St. Mary River, extending from St. Mary Chalet along the north shore of St. Mary Lake toward Going-to-the-Sun Chalet. With construction under way on both sides of the Continental Divide, the Transmountain Road can be pushed with more speed to completion. And here is a glimpse into the future that promises all kinds of things for Glacier: It will be oaly a short time before the Babb-International Boundary Road is improved. This road runs through the Blackfeet Indian reservation adjoining Glacier on the east and will connect with the Canadian National parks highway system. The National Park-to-Park Highway, which connects all the western national parks, is in full operation and getting better every season. The Banff-Windermere Highway across the Canadian Rockies, opened last year, makes direct connection with the National Park-to-Park Highway at Spokane, Wash. With the Babb-International Boundary Road and the Transmountain Road completed, Glacier will offer much to automobile tourists. Any car owner in the United States or Canada can easily reach Glacier, either to stay or go on. The entire Scenic West, Americana and Canadian, will be open to him. When Glacier comes to its own, its attendance will jump up amazingly. And what it gains it will keep, for its visitors have a habit of going back year after year. Glacier has its devotees, just as have Rocky Mountain in Colorado and Yosemite in California. Yellowstone, oldest, biggest and most famous of all our 19 national parks, has been lacking in this to date. Take Mary Roberts Rinehart—nature lover, outdoor woman, novelist and nature writer—she's an example. She has been much in Glacier. And here is the way Glacier got her. Her enthusiasm induced her to write an "Appreciation of Glacier" for publicity purposes. And here's what she says, in part: There are no "Keep Off the Grass" signs in Glacier National Park. It is the wildest part of America. . . . It is perhaps the most unique of all our parks, as it is undoubtedly the most magnificent. . . . Here the Rocky Mountains run northwest and southeast, and in the glacier-carved bays are the blue lakes; mountain-sides threaded with white, where, from some hidden lake or glacier far above, the overflow falls a thousand feet or more, and over all the great silence of the Rockies. . . . Here is the last home of a vanishing race—the Blackfeet Indians. Here is the last stand of the Rocky Mountain sheep and the Rocky Mountain bears, and mountain lions. Here are trails that follow the old game trails along the mountain side; here are meadows of June roses, forget-me-not, larkspur, and Indian painbrush growing beside glaciers, snowfields and trails of a beauty to make you gasp. But there is no voice in the call of an insistent noisemaker call of these mountains. I shall go back. Those who go once always hope to go back. The lure of the great free spaces is in their blood. One can imagine without the slightest difficulty a throng of devotees of other national parks surrounding Mrs. Rinehart, bawling her out—in perfectly polite language, of course—and asking in unison: "How do you get that way, Mary?" And the babel, sifted out, interpreted and reduced to prosaic utterance, would contain these statements: There's nothing in Glacier wilder than are areas in other parks. Glacier isn't "perhaps the most unique," nor is it "undoubtedly the most magnificent." Other parks have "glacier-carved basins," lakes, glaciers, falls, wild animals and flowers. Yellowstone beats all the parks—except possibly Mount McKinley—for wild animal life. Rocky Mountain probably has more mountain sheep than Glacier. Mount Rainier is the champion "Wild Flower Park." The Blackfeet are a liability rather than an asset, inasmuch as they slaughter relentlessly the park game that strays into their reservation; the big game on the east side of the Continental Divide is gradually being wiped out. Glacier's highest mountain, Mount Cleveland, is only 10,438 feet; Rocky Mountain has 43 between 10,000 and 14,255 feet.

Getting down to the really unique features of the carved and colored, is one of the natural wonders of the world. Curiously enough, Mrs. Rlinehart omitted mention of the one feature that, in the opinion of many, does entitle Glacier to a place among the unique national parks—its "Lewis Overthrust" and the gorgeous coloration of its mountains. Zion National Park in Utah, Bryce Canyon in Utah, likely to be made the Utah National Park, and Grand Canyon probably surpass Glacier in coloration, but their colors are down in the depths, while Glacier's are flung up into the sky. Now, don't be scared by the Lewis Overthrust. Here's briefly what the geologists mean by the term: The rock nearest the center of the earth is called Archean and the geologists know very little about it. The next oldest strata are the Algonkian, which were laid as an ocean bottom sediment something like 80,000,000 years ago. It is this Algonkian group that are exposed in 'Glacier; nowhere in the world are they displayed in such area, profusion and variety and in such magnificence of coloring. These Algonkian rocks lie in four differently-colored strata, all of which the Glacier visitor may see for himself. The lowest is the Altyn limestone, about 1,600 feet thick. It weathers a pale buff. There are whole yellow mountains of this on the eastern edge of Glacier. Next above lies a stratum of Appekunny argillite, or green shale, about 3,400 feet thick. It weathers every possible shade of dull green. Next above that lie about 2,200 feet of Grinnell argillite or red shale. It weathers every possible shade of deep red and purple. On top is about 4,000 feet of Slyeh limestone, gray and running in places to yellow. Horizontally through the middle of this limestone is a broad dark band called the dlorite intrusion. Now, when these brilliantly colored strata were thrust up from the bottom of the sea, they were practically level. Then there came a gigantic squeeze. The strata yielded in long irregular, wave-like folds. Finally they cracked and then broke. One broken edge, the western, was thrust upward and over the other. This western edge was thousands of feet thick. It overlapped the eastern edge ten to fifteen miles. This is the Lewis (Range) Overthrust. It is this overthrust that accounts for the inconceivably tumbled character of the vast rocky masses. There is a sag where the park lies. A horizontal line drawn straight across Glacier would pass through the bottom of the Altnay limestone on the east and west boundaries and in the middle of the park through the top of the Slyeh limestone. It would cut diagonally through the green and red shales on both sides of the Continental Divide. The untaformed tourist doubtless says to himself, as he heads the flver west, "Three fine national parks in a row—Rocky Mountain, Yellowstone and Glacier. All three in the Rockies and on the Continental Divide. Probably all much alike. See oae and I've seen them all." That shows the necessity of the campaign of education that the federal government and the National Parks association and many out-of-door organizations are waging to get the American people to see their national parks with understanding as well as emotionally. For Rocky Mountain, Yellowstone and Glacier are essentially different. Rocky Mountain is solid granite, a most astonishing aggregation of lofty peaks and beautiful valleys perched on the top of the Continental Divide. Yellowstone is volcanic, with volcanic activities everywhere in evidence. Glacier is sedimentary rock, twisted and jumbled and gorgeously colored. Congress has just passed an act authorizing the making of a budget for road building purposes in the national parks, carrying a total of $7,500,000 over three years. If funds are appropriated, Glacier's tentative allotment is $1,000,000. This would doubtless hurry the Transmountain Road to completion. Speed the day!

The bill would permit the island territory to elect its governor in 1928. Governor Towner and leading men of Porto Rico appeared in Washington recently to argue in its favor. They impressed congressional committees with the belief that the granting of more autonomy was justified by conditions, and that it would lead to a better feeling among the people of the island, who in 1917 became citizens of the United States and enrolled 400,000 men for the World war. In 1917 the people were intrusted with the power to make their own laws, and the only evidence of American rule in the island today is that the governor and the members of the Supreme court are appointed by the President of the United States. "In my judgment the Porto Ricans are entitled to the proposed extension of self-government," said Governor Towner. He has presided over the affairs of the island for a year, and before that he was chairman of the THE Smithsonian institution at Washington has issued an illustrated booklet describing the explorations and field work conducted by members of its staff or in cooperation with other organizations during 1923. Besides many localities in the United States, the regions visited include the Canadian Rockies, the Yangtze valley, China; several islands of the West Indies; Panama and Central America; Labrador, and various countries in Europe. The branches of science represented include geology, paleontology, astrophysics, zoology, botany, anthropology and ethnology. Secretary Charles D. Walcott continued his geological research in the Canadian Rocky mountains, working especially on the pre-Devonian strata from the Clearwater river southeast to the Bow valley and along the eastern side of the Columbia river valley. Much new information was obtained regarding the formations themselves and large collections of fossils were shipped back to Washington for study purposes. C. G. Gillmore of the National museum, conducted a very different piece of excavating in the Dinosaur national monument, Utah, for the purpose of AN APPEAL to tourists to refrain from carelessness in road habits has been issued by Thomas P. Henry, president of the American Automobile association. It embraces these requests: "When you come to a beauty spot that has been wrecked by an earlier picnic party don't complain. See that you don't leave a similar sight for the motor tourist who follows you. "A wildflower on the bush is worth ten in the tonneau, withered and trampled. Leave the flowers where you can enjoy them most. If motorists are to strip America of her foliage motoring will be stripped of one of its fundamental assets. "Debris is dangerous. The careless smoker plus the littered picnic spot result in the forest fires that wreck the countryside, literally and figuratively. Bare hills encourage swollen streams and floods. "There are many roadways that will never be attractive again, and the number of beauty spots in America is decreasing. The tourist always selects the cream of countryside beauty, and THE whole country is apparently interested in the passage of the bill in congress to make a government reservation of the river bottoms along the upper Mississippi for the preservation of game fish. Of this area Representative Harry B. Hawes of Missouri said in a house address: "This area is famous for producing all types of fresh-water food fish and all types of fresh-water game fish, such as perch, croppie, drum, rock bass, pike, pickerel and muskellunge, and it is especially famous for black bass. Scientists declare this area represents the last stand of black bass in the Mississippi valley, and, some declare, in the whole United States. These scientists state that the yearly toll of black bass in this country is so great compared with the yearly hatch that this greatest of American game fish is certain to become extinct within ten years unless extraordinary effort is made to protect their natural spawning beds. "From the area covered by this bill it is estimated that $400,000 worth of pelts are yearly taken from muskrats, skunk, raccoon and fresh-water otters, and if these are taken over by the national government and put under the direction of the biological survey, it is house committee on insular affairs, "Personally I think that the island will in time become a state in the Union. They are not asking for independence. They want to continue as part of our territory; so their desire for extension of self-government is not for the purpose of becoming an independent republic. That is not in their minds. But as our states elect their governors, so they ask to elect theirs. To grant their prayer will bind Porto Rico closer to us as a friendly neighbor. "Education in Porto Rico has been a difficult task. But let it be remembered that in the last twenty years illiteracy has been reduced from 90 per cent to 50 per cent; that now there are about 2,000 buildings for school purposes, with about 200,000 pupils enrolled and 3,000 teachers employed, and that the government spends annually $4,000,000, or about 37 per cent of its budget, for educational purposes. "In sanitary progress Porto Rico has made great strides. The total mortality rate in 1898 was 41 per 1,000. This has been reduced to 18.6. Better conditions and better methods will undoubtedly result in still greater reduction." securing for exhibition in the museum a mountable skeleton of one of the large sauropodous dinosaurs. The often fragile bones of these gigantic extinct reptiles are found imbedded in a thick sandstone of variable hardness that is tilted up at an angle of 60 degrees, and the work of quarrying them out without doing irreparable damage is a slow and tedious operation involving the skill of both the stonecutter and the miner. The boxing and transportation of the immense blocks of rocks inclosing the bones, the largest of which weighed 6,000 pounds, involved the most arduous labor. Over twenty-five tons of material were safely transported, from which it is certain that a good skeletal mount of diplodocus will be obtained measuring over eighty feet in length, with a height of fourteen feet at the hips. Mr. Gilmore also obtained interesting evidence of the presence of dinosaurs in Virginia, in the form of a slab of red Triassic shale bearing the imprints of a three-toed dinosaur, taken from a farm near Aldie in Loudoun county. This slab, now on exhibition, shows that the animal had a stride of 56 inches. if each motor party leaves behind it a trail of ruin it will not be long before old-timers will be talking of the countryside that used to be. "This is what will happen if tourists fall to appreciate the fact that the problem is a matter of personal duty. It requires only a few broken bottles, some tin cans, a defunct tire and a few discarded newspapers to make an ideal spot the last word in unsightliness. "Just one tourist party can put out of business a spot that might otherwise be of unending delight to hundreds of other people who take pride in the country and who know that if they do not preserve it no one else can do it for them. "When you are tempted to wreck some ideal location you have selected for your evening rest or your noonday luncheon, just keep in mind the fact that you'll probably come back again some day and taste of your own selfishness. The country is not so large that 15,000,000 tourists can wreck each beauty spot they chance upon and never return to it again." estimated that under the protection of this commission five times this amount would be raised."

THE FISHING CO. Cutting and Preparing Jellied Peel. Place the water, salt and sugar for the sirup in a saucepan about 6 inches in diameter at the top and stir until the sugar is dissolved; then add the strips of peel, arranging carefully so that they lie parallel to each other, to prevent their being broken when turned. Place the pan over the flame. Cook the contents rapidly for about 20 minutes, then reduce the heat and continue to boil very gently for about 20 minutes longer, or until the sirup is all absorbed by the peel. Great care must be taken at this point that the sirup does not scorch, and the strips of peel must be lifted or turned frequently so that all are equally penetrated by the sirup. Use a fork in turning the strips and in removing them from the pan. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Jellied peel from grapefruit, oranges or lemons, sometimes referred to as "candied" or "crystallized peel," is easy to make. If wrapped in waxed paper and kept tightly covered in tin or glass containers until used it will keep tender two or three weeks. The following directions for making jellied peel are given by the United States Department of Agriculture, which has thoroughly tested the recipe. Jellied Grapefruit, Orange or Lemon Peel. 5 ounces of peel ¼ teaspoonful salt 1 cupful granu- ½ cupful granu-lated sugar for sirup (7 ounces) rolling strips ½ cupful water (about 3 ounces) 5 ounces of peel $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoonful salt 1 cupful granu- lated sugar for sirup (7 ounces) $\frac{1}{2}$ cupful water for sirup, or enough to cover Thick, soft, unblemished peel from smooth rolling strips (about 3 ounces). Light-colored grapefruit skins are best for this purpose, since russet skins im- part a dingy shade. Orange skins may be bright or pale in color, but should not be russet or spotted. Small oranges from which the juice has been squeezed may be further utilized in this way. Keep for Weeks. Place the peel on waxed paper and when cool roll the strips in granulated sugar, turning them carefully with a knife. Let them dry out for a few hours or over night, then wrap in waxed paper and keep in tightly covered tin or glass containers until used. If left in paper boxes they tend to become hard and crusty in winter or sticky in summer. However, they should keep in good condition for two or three weeks if properly stored in a moderately cool place. Cut the peel into strips $ \frac{1}{4} $ to $ \frac{1}{2} $ inch wide, or into inch squares, which are not so easily handled. Parboil three times, using one quart of cold water and boiling in a lightly covered pan for one-half hour each time, and discarding the water after each cooking. The strips should then be tender and must be handled gently to prevent breaking. The peel should be jellied throughout, translucent, thick, tender and juicy, not shrrunken nor gummy; the skin should be soft and the outer coating of sugar in distinct crystals, not in a crust. MAKING CORN BREAD WITH USE OF MILK MARK CLOTHES WHEN PUTTING THEM AWAY Two Ways of Mixing Outlined by Federal Experts. Use of Individual Boxes Will Simplify Matters. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Good corn bread may be made with either sweet or sour milk. The United States Department of Agriculture has found that in the sour-milk breads the method of mixing influences the texture. The first method described in this recipe, though longer than the second, yields bread of better texture. If individual boxes are used from year to year to put clothes away in, there may be kept in or near each one a small roll of mending pieces belonging to the person whose clothes are in the box. If the scraps left over when a dress is cut out are stored in the right place at the time of cutting, patching or remodeling pieces may be found in a jiffy, suggests the United States Department of Agriculture. 1½ teaspoonfuls salt meal 2 cupfuls sour milk 1 egg 1 teaspoonful soda 1 tablespoonful cold water Millinery trimmings (feathers, ribbons, flowers, velvet pieces) should be stored if in good condition, in a box by themselves, where they can be easily found if a hat must be un- 2 tablespoonfuls butter 2 tablespoonfuls sugar, white or brown There are two ways of mixing this bread, which includes milk and eggs. By the first method the meal, milk, salt, butter and sugar are cooked in a double boiler for ten minutes. When the mixture is cool the eggs are added, well beaten, and the soda dissolved in the water. A woman sewing a dress. By the other method all the dry ingredients, including the soda, are mixed together, and then the sour milk, the well-beaten eggs and the butter are added. If the second method is followed the cold water is not needed. The bread should be baked in a shallow iron or granite pan for 30 minutes. Buttermilk may be substituted for the sour milk, in which case the butter should be increased slightly; or sour cream may be used and the butter omitted. This serves six persons. **Sweet Milk Corn Bread.** 2 cupfuls yellow $\frac{1}{2}$ cupful sugar cornmeal 1 teaspoonful salt 1 cupful wheat 2 eggs flour 3 teaspoonfuls 2 cupfuls milk baking powder Sift together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add the well-beaten eggs and the milk, and bake for one-half hour in a moderate oven. Marking Clothes. In this case, as in the recipe for sour milk corn bread, the cornmeal can be cooked for a short time with the milk if a softer bread is desired. expectedly freshened. Laces of different kinds can be wound on cards or otherwise put away, so that a glance will make the right piece accessible. Lining materials and old dress foundations which have further uses are best collected by themselves. Each housekeeper must evolve her own system, but if she alms to arrange the family clothing and materials in storage so that everything is readily found when wanted she serves the double purpose of saving much time and keeping the storage room in good order, says the United States Department of Agriculture.

SUMMER GOOD THINGS Peas are one of our most valuable vegetable proteins for the family. Green Pea Soup. —Take a pint of shelled peas, six spring onions, a teaspoonful of sugar, cook until tender enough to put through a puree sleeve. Heat —Take a pint of shelled peas, six spring onions, a teaspoonful of sugar, cook until tender enough to put through a purée sieve. Heat a quart of milk, thicken if liked with a tablespoonful of flour cooked with two tablespoonfuls of butter, add the purée, salt and pepper to season and boll up. Serve hot. Peas and Peppers.—Cut the stem ends from six peppers, let stand in strong salt water for several hours. Drain and fill the shells with cooked peas, one-half cupful of chopped chicken or other meat, one-half cupful of bread crumbs, onion juice, salt, pepper and some of the liquor from the peas to moisten. Bake until well-heated through and the peppers are tender. Sprinkle the tops with buttered crumbs and brown under the gas flame. Hot Cherry Pudding.—Take a cupful of flour, a teaspoonful of baking powder, pinch of salt, and milk to make a drop batter. Grease pudding cups with butter, add a small spoonful of the batter, then two tablespoonfuls of cherries, juice and all. On top add another spoonful of the batter, leaving room for the mixture to rise. Place the cups in a deep pan with boiling water to cover the bottom well but not come up into the cups. Cover closely and boil fifteen minutes. Serve with cream and sugar. Spanish Salad.—To two cupfuls of diced chicken add one diced cucumber, a cupful of walnut meats and a cupful of cooked peas. Mix with any well-liked salad dressing and serve on lettuce. Pound Cake.—Cream one cupful of good, sweet, fresh butter, add one and two-thirds cupfuls of fine granulated sugar, beating until all is added, then add five eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition; fold in two cupfuls of pastry flour, flavor with grated lemon rind and bake in a loaf-pan one hour. Line the tin with buttered paper. Sponge Cake.—Beat the yolks of six eggs until thick, add one cupful of sugar gradually, and continue beating; add one tablespoonful of lemon juice and the grated rind of half a lemon. Beat the whites of the eggs until stiff and fold in until partly mixed, then add one cupful of flour and a little salt. Bake one hour in a tube pan. Ice Cream Frosting.—Boll to a thread two cupfuls of sugar and six tablespoonfuls of water; pour the sirup gradually over two well-beaten egg whites. Beat until thick, flavor and spread over the cake. Pudding sauce may be prepared using fruit pulses, canned or fresh, water or vinegar with various flavorings, thickened with butter and flour.

MORE ABOUT BREAKFASTS Let us begin at the beginning and serve something different. Breakfast may be the easiest of menus to prepare, or the hardest, depending on the cook or those cooked for. Begin the meal with a little fresh fruit in sea may be the best list of meals to prepare, or the hardest, depending on the cook or those cooked for. Begin the meal with a little fresh fruit in season. The family must be indeed hard to suit if they may have fresh brook trout, broiled, or baked in cream, or fried in butter until crisp and brown. You may not care for salt mackerel, if you can't get fresh, but it is a delectable dish when well cooked. Baked Mackerel.—If the fish is salt, soak it overnight and change the water to remove enough of the salt to make it palatable. Wipe dry, place in a baking dish skin side down, if it lacks fat, dot it with bits of butter and add a very little boiling water, cook until thoroughly heated through and well seasoned with the butter. Ten minutes before serving cover with a cupful of thick cream and simmer until ready to serve. Serve piping hot with the cream poured over and around the fish. Heavy, hearty foods are not good for inactive people, or those inclined to put on weight. When one feels stupid, with a headache and wholly good-for-nothing an hour after breakfast, the diet needs to be looked into most carefully. The hurried eating of the morning meal, with a rush to catch a car or a run to school, is never a wise way to start the day. A few minutes earlier rising with a pleasant, quiet, unhurried meal, starting the family off in a cheerful frame of mind, will naturally mean a more successful day, no matter how trying are circumstances. We have no statistics to tell us of the tragedies and crimes which have been fostered by food eaten hurriedly in a disordered household on a disagreeable day. Who can tell of the far-reaching effects of a quiet, happy cheerful breakfast table? The streets are full of human toys Wound up for three score years; Their springs are hungers, hopes and joys, And jealousies and fears. They move their eyes, their lips, their hands; They are marvelously dressed; And here my body sits or stands, A plaything like the rest. The toys are played with till they fall. Worn out and thrown away, Why were they ever made at all? Who sits to watch the play? Robert Louis Stevenson. GOOD COMPANY DISHES Tasty salad is always a well-liked dish whether one is entertaining or r one is entertaining or preparing meals for those nearer and deurer than company. A Cabbage Salad.—Shred very fine a small, hard head of cabbage, add one-half cupful of shredded blanched almonds, four ripe bananas cut in strips, one-half cupful of sour cream, a tablespoonful of vinegar with seasoning of salt and sugar. Serve with crackers and cheese. Cheese Crackers.—Take the long, narrow salt wafers and lay them side by side in a dripping pan. Cut thin oblongs of cheese and lay on the crackers; cut the cheese a trifle smaller than the crackers; on this place four or five halves of pecans. Place in the oven and melt the cheese. Hungarian Roast—Select a five-pound roast. Have the ribs removed and the roast rolled. Wipe the meat with a damp cloth and place it on a layer of suet in the baking pan, add two slices of onion, dredge well with flour. Cover the top of the meat with sliced onion, cover with three or four slices of bacon and roast, basting often with the fat from the pan. Add a tablespoonful of boiling water when the meat is first put into the oven; this starts the cooking. Prune Cake—Cream a tablespoonful of butter with four tablespoonfuls of sugar; add the grated rind of a lemon and one beaten egg. To one cupful of flour add one teaspoonful of baking powder and one-quarter cupful of milk. Add one-half cupful of finely-chopped prunes; bake in a slow oven. For a dainty dessert take a pint of cooked chestnuts, mash and add to gelatin or prepared jello of any flavor, pour into a mold and when firm serve with whipped cream and sugar.

Washington, Colorado SEMI-SPORTS FOR SUMMER; TAILORED HATS THE VOGUE IN SUITS and day dresses, coats and millinery for summer wear, we find a flavor of sports styles everywhere present. There is a middle ground between the tailored mode and real sports wear, which fashion takes to most kindly—and the designers of clothes for outdooring govern themselves accordingly. They are turning out what have been best described as "semi-sports styles" which prove to be so adaptable and accommodating that one may wear them almost anywhere. A suit and a street dress as shown in the picture (both made of flannel), reveal the assertiveness and the re- G A G Two Pretty Summer Modes. serve that combine to make semi-sports styles. The suit is as simple as possible, a plain straight coat in company with a plain straight skirt, which would certainly be commonplace if each garment were not bordered with bands in contrasting and fascinating colors. There are many color combinations offered in suits like this, with tan, brown and all kindred tones, gray and belge, presenting themselves as backgrounds for bands in the season's higher colors. With a suit of this kind one may elect to wear either a sports or a street hat, and footwear which also will emphasize the tailored or the sports aspect of the costume. Striped flannels seem to belong to sports dress and it is not so easy to J THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY A Group of Tailored Hats convert them into tallored frocks. But color is a factor to be reckoned with in them and they bring much grist to the mill of the designer of semi-sports clothes. The straightline dress pictured appropriates a tallored decoration, in the long row of buttons from neck to hem and in the dainty batiste collar and cuffs, worn with it. Shoes, hat and strand of beads, all proclaim its intention of doing service as a street dress. But one can easily imagine it with a little felt sports hat, and the proper sports shoes, vicing with regular sports clothes—upon occasion. If fate were to say to nine out --- of ten discriminating women: "You may have but one hat this season," it goes almost without saying that nine tailored hats would be very carefully chosen by their prospective wearers. For the tailored hat may be designed to be quite versatile and is a necessity with the tailored suit, so every woman must have one. But there are tailored hats and tailored hats, some of them very trim and businesslike, and others not at all severe, but showing a disposition to be a little frivolous. One kind is as becoming as the other, but the strictly tailored hat is not as adaptable as its more easy-going sister. The matter of 1 becomingness is the most important thing one has to consider in selecting a tailored hat. If precision of line and absence of warm color make the severely tailored type less becoming than others, one is warranted in passing it up. A very becoming model in the group pictured, with black milan brim and crepe crown, reveals one interpretation of the tricorn—dear to the hearts of those who make tailored hats. A bit of silver ribbon and two little ostrich feather pin wheels, contribute a smart trim to it. It belongs to the tailored suit. At the right is one of those delightful becoming hats, made entirely of wide motre ribbon, a turban beautifully draped and artfully finished with two jewel-like pins. This I Is the sort of hat that may be worn with tailored or with dressier clothes, and opposite it is a hat of the same character but more colorful made of Roman striped ribbon. Two black and white models finish the group, one of white straw braid and crepe in sections, overlaid with narrow black braid and finished with a flat cabochon. The black milan sailor has a collar of two-toned ribbon and a silver ornament supporting long ends of ribbon that are unusual on hats of this kind. But this wide-hanging ribbon takes the place of a scarf and is worn wrapped about the throat. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (©, 1924, Western Newspaper Union.) DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING CO.
