LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY COOLIDGE ASSERTS NEGRO'S PROGRESS QUITE MARVELOUS Declares Future Is in Own Hands During Talk at School VOL. XXX Washington, D. C., June 6.—President Coolidge, delivering the commencement address Friday at Howard University, an institution partly maintained here by the government for Negroes, declared the American Negro's progress was "one of the marvels of modern history" and that his future was in his own hands. Contrasting "the rapid advancement of the colored people in America with the slow and painful upward movement of humanity as a whole," the President advanced the thought that "the black man's probation on this continent was a necessary part in a great plan by which the race was to be saved to the world for a service we now are able to vision." "The destiny of the great African continent, to be added at length—and in a future not now far beyond us—to the realms of the highest civilization, has become apparent within a very few decades," the President said. "But for the strange and long inscrutable purpose which in the ordering of human affairs subjected a part of the black race to the ordeal of slavery, that race might have been assigned to the tragic fate which has befallen many aboriginal peoples when brought into conflict with more advanced communities. Instead, we are able now to be confident that this race is to be preserved for a great and useful work." The special field of usefulness for educated Negro men and women was declared by Mr. Coolidge to be work with their own people needing "help, guidance, leadership and inspiration." "The Negro community of America has already so far progressed that its members can be assured that their future is in their own hands," he added. "Racial hostility, ancient tradition and social prejudice are not to be eliminated immediately or easily. But they will be lessened as the colored people, by their own efforts and under their own leaders, shall prove worthy of the fullest measure of opportunity." Lincoln the Ideal of President Coolidge Lincoln the Ideal of President Coolidge (Lincoln News Service) (Boston, June 10, 1924.—A man's character can often be judged by his ideals, by the expressed conception of his standards of perfection; and it is due to this fact that we as citizens are particularly interested at this time in everything that President Coolidge does, says, or writes. In his book, entitled "The Price of Freedom" he clearly presented to the public his type of an ideal leader when he says of Lincoln, "No useless burdens held him back. No wilderness of tangled ideas bewildered his vision. For him, the outward show of the world was cast aside that he might be a larger place in history, our President writes: "The place which Lincoln holds in the history of the nation is that of the man who finished what others had begun. What they had dared to dream of, he dared to do. He does not lessen State Hist & Nut Hist Society State House THE ONLY RELIABLE COLORA S NEGRO'S QUITE MARVELOUS Own Hands During School RELIABLE DRAD THE JOURN ELOUS During the glory of what he did: rather, he adds to it. They built a base that was sound and solid. They left plans by which it was to be finished. The base which they made was the Union. But Lincoln rises above them all in one thing. He never halted; he never turned aside. He followed the truth through to the end. . . . He did not discover freedom; he showed that it had a power of its own. He was not the first one who had faith in the people; he was the first who dared to put that faith to the test of every truth. . . . He opened up to the vision of mankind a new heaven and a new earth. That vision has not yet been fully realized, but people see it more and more clearly. They strive for it with greater success. . . . Lincoln belongs to every age in which men struggle for an ideal. He belongs to every place where men fight for human rights." Farm Loan Associations Washington, June 10, 1924.—The Federal Farm Loan Act provides a way of getting mortgage loans for farmers at low rates of interest, at lengths of time to suit the borrower, and on easy terms of repayment. Ten farmers, the least number the law allows, may unite to form a national farm loan association. If more than ten get together, so much the better; states Circular No. 2, issued by the Federal Farm Loan Bureau. The lowest sum any farmer can borrow is $100; the highest is $10,000. If a farmer has a mortgage on his farm and borrows money from the land bank, his mortgage lien must be the first thing paid off with the money. If any surplus of his loan remains, he can apply it for the purchase of fertilizers or live stock, the construction of a silo, the building of a barn, the erection of poultry houses, or for any other purpose which will improve the farm's value. But if a farmer has no mortgage on his farm and desires to borrow for improving it in any of the ways mentioned above, he can borrow money from the land bank, of his district, by giving a first mortgage on his farm. The mortgages may run not less than five years nor more than forty years. This system of rural credit offers the colored farmers a splendid opportunity to refinance their mortgage loans at a low rate of interest. Among the colored practicing politicians the great question now is, who among them will be selected to function as the "chief mogul" at national headquarters? Had Brother Garvey belonged to the A. M. E. connection he might have been elected bishop—if he had agreed, in writing, to take up the work in Africa. Now that the Democrats are nongling for the support of the colored voters in the northern states, there has been a let-up in the introduction of "jim crow" bills in Congress. --- SCHEWEL PHOTO THE Republican National Convention at Cleveland, Ohio, on Thursday, June 12, named President Calvin Coolidge as its party standard bearer in the 1924 presidential race. He goes before the country on the record of his administration, following the death of President Harding last year. Race Hatred Un- Christian Declares Y.W. Conference Hypocrisy to Foster Missions Abroad, Yet Spurn Other Races of Our Own Nation, Says Speaker; Tulsa Has Second Largest Delegation of Southwest New York, May 7.—As clearly as the towering shaft of the Woolworth building dominates the jagged skyline of lower Manhattan, so the spirit of inter-racial and international friendliness was the dominant motive among the many cross-currents of discussion and sentiment in the eighth biennial convention of the Young Women's Christian Association of the United States from which very nearly 3,000 delegates, representing 600,000 women, turned their way homeward yesterday. The Tulsa Association had the second largest delegation of any southwestern city, ranking next to Dallas, Texas, and followed closely by Oklahoma City. Deplores Race Hatred Racial hatred here at home evoked criticism from convention speakers. Said Miss Elizabeth Webb of Ginville, Ga., "We are wondering if we can honestly call ourselves Christians and believe In the adamant life for all mankind, and at the same time DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1924 By PAULINE LAYMAN approve of the way we actually treat people of other races, especially Negroes. We are wondering if it isn't a bit hypocritical and merely a salve for our consciences to believe in sending missionaries to other countries while we spurn friendships with members of other races in our own country. We are interested to decide if it is possible to believe sincerely that God is love and still go on fighting, persecuting, hating in His name. It is such gatherings as this that make us know that we cannot believe very intensely in the fatherhood of God and still cling to our old race prejudice—that we cannot believe in the way of love and deliberately hate." Said an industrial worker, Miss Maggie Hayton: "One does not need to go abroad to get an international mind or viewpoint, or to form international friendship for we can do that right here in our own country. In the Y. W. there is a wonderful opportunity for cultivating broad-mindedness and of breaking down barriers." In Chicago there is one ward which contains 44 per cent of the total colored population of the city, and within which our group constitutes 70 per cent of all the inhabitants. In 1920 there were ninety less children, under five years of age, 1,000 colored women between the ages of 15 and 45, than in the year 1910, as compared with a decrease of thirteen among the white women. PRESIDENT CALVIN COOLIDGE'S RECORD ON LABOR (Lincoln News Service) Washington, June 10, 1924.—When Secretary of Labor James J. Davis said, in addressing the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor: "I will place the record of Calvin Coolidge on labor against that of any man who has ever occupied the presidential chair or the governorship of any state," he gave voice to a sentiment which will stand before the closest scrutiny of all Americans, and, particularly, those who, by their daily toil, are producing America's industrial and agricultural output, which is sought by the whole world. It will be remembered that Governor Coolidge, as chief executive of the Massachusetts commonwealth, was more than anyone else, responsible for the enactment by that state of the first legislation which prevents the employment of women and children for more than forty-eight hours in any one week. Despite the war which was waged by various Massachusetts employers against this legislation, Governor Coolidge stood firm in bringing about relief for women and children workers, saying that he would rather be known as the governor who signed the forty-eight-hour bill for women and children than to be known as the governor during the police strike. Even before that time, as a member of the Massachusetts legislature, Calvin Coolidge had been active in pressing for legislation beneficial to working people. First-aid equipment in steam and electric cars and around railroad yards was finally provided by legislation which was adopted during Governor Coolidge's incumbency. Legislation empowering the state insurance commission to require insurance companies doing business under the workmen's compensation act to deposit sufficient cash with the state treasurer to meet emergency obligations and thus protect the interests of disabled workers and their dependents was finally adopted under Governor Coolidge's administration. A bill providing for an annual vacation for state laborers, workmen and mechanics was passed during Governor Coolidge's administration, after being rejected for several years. It is already more than apparent, since his elevation to the position of chief executive of the United States, that President Coolidge has lost none of his keen appreciation for the welfare of workers. Rising, as most Republican presidents have, from the ranks of America's everyday folks, the President understands their needs, and, realizing that those human masses form the bone and sinew of a great nation, intends to see that the compensation of good government is given in return for their labor and their loyalty. The 8,053,225 Negro workers, who, during the present administration, have become more permanently allied with American production than ever before, should rejoice at the prospect of President Coolidge's re-election. These workers, with their ever increasing solidarity, their full recognition by organized labor, their rapid inclusion into the high trades and crafts of industry, their highly-favorable impression upon American employers, and their great contribution to the country's output, undoubtedly NO.35 feel comforted and secure in their progress and their prospects. A better understanding than ever before exists between the labor groups of this country, all of whom are laying aside group prejudices and are advancing together as the human parts and parcels of one country, whose record is a glorious one; and it goes without saying that under he continued guidance of President Coolidge the labor groups, and in fact, all other groups, will become permanent and hard-working complements of each other, with efficiency and perfection as their goals. Sight Restored to Sam Langford New York, June 3.—A drama of the prize ring reached a happy ending in a hospital here today. The principals, a veteran Negro pugilist, an eye specialist and a sport writer were supported by boxing fans of Los Angeles and New York. Sam Langford, considered unbeatable by any pugilist of nis poundage in the heavyweight ranks, was discovered desolate and all but blind in Los Angeles. Consistent efforts by Hype Igoe, a local sporting writer, resulted in Langford being sent on funds furnished by Los Angeles boxing fans, to New York, where Dr. James W. Smith, an admirer of the fighter in his prime, performed a free operation. Today the bandages were removed and Sam saw and was happy. Our Women Voters (Lincoln News Service) (Lincoln News Service) Washington, June 10, 1924. Of the nearly 3,000,000 colored females of voting age in the United States, slightly more than $800,000 live in the northern and border states where their votes will be counted in the coming national election. The state of Tennessee leads in this respect, and is followed, in the order named, by Pennsylvania, New York, Kentucky, Maryland, Illinois, Missouri and Ohio. Due to the call of industry the colored males of voting age in these same states outnumber the females, and our total number of voters will closely approximate 1,750,000. Restrains Lodge Head Restrains Lodge Head (Lincoln News Service) (Lincoln News Service) Washington, June 10, 1924.—Justice Stafford in Equity Division granted a restraining order against James Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler, I. B. P. O. E. W., to prevent a threatened suspension of. Columbia Lodge No. 85. The petitioners alleged that Wilson had threatened to have the charter of the local lodge revoked and was about to authorize the expenditure of $70,000 of the funds of the grand lodge against the opposition of the local lodge. Columbia Lodge 85, which is one of the largest lodges in the country, designated three attorneys, all of whom are members of the lodge, to represent it. FOREIGN Capt. Pelletier Doisy, the French aviator flying from Paris to Toklo, has arrived at Senoshima (D) (Hiroshima) from Talku, Kôrea. The American army around-the-world filers have arrived in Hongkong from Amoy. The aviators made the 300-mile flight from Amoy in three hours and fifteen minutes. President Obregon returned to Mexico City carrying the felicitations of thousands of Americans and native Mexicans who greeted him at Nogales, Sonora, on his visit to his home state since he assumed the presidential chair. Lieut. Pelletter d'Oisy, French long distance aviator, who set out from Villa Coublay, France, April 24, to fly to Tokio, reached his destination June 9. D'Oisy had flown from Shanghai with a borrowed Chinese plane, his own having been damaged in landing. Two Japanese naval officers and three noncommissioned officers were killed and a fourth noncommissioned officer received injuries which are expected to prove mortal in an air disaster at the Yokosuka naval base on Tokio bay. The six were aloft in a hydroairplane when its fuel tank exploded. The craft fell about 600 feet. landing in the rocky hills above the naval base. The Francois-Marsal temporary ministry was defeated in the French chamber of deputies by a vote of 329 to 214 on the adoption of a motion offered by Majority Leader Edouard Herrlot not to open a discussion with a government not in conformity with the sentiment of the country. This action is considered equivalent to forcing President Millerand out of office. Bishop Baggia, of Prescia, Italy, has determined to put an end to immodest dressing and has had posters placed on the doors of all churches and also orders read during all masses, stating: "Ladles and girls are warned they will be expelled from the churches if they dare present themselves with naked arms and low necks; if, in other words, they are dressed contrary to modesty which any well-bred woman should feel." Nogales, Sonoran, Mexico.—Oil interests were upraided as the "most formidable barrier" in the way of Mexico's desire for moral, social and political revindication," by President Alvaro Obregon in a statement issued a few days ago in Nogales, Mexico. "Material Interests have constituted a real gravestone which prevented any movement of every noble idea," the president said, "and that gravestone is made of oil." GENERAL Jack Lawyer, Omaha prizefighter killed by Patrolman N. E. Neilsen of the Omaha police department, was slain while trying to escape arrest after an attempt to commit robbery, a coroner's jury held. The verdict recommended exoneration for the officer. The house of delegates of the American Medical Association in convention in Chicago adopted a resolution calling for the repeal of "those sections of the national prohibition act which interfere with the proper relations between the physician and his patient in prescribing alcohol medicinally." Under sentence of life in prison for the murder of Mrs. Mary C. Davis, matron of the city jail at Wilmington, Del., Anna Lewis, colored, was prepared for removal to the state penitentiary to start serving her term. The negress killed Mrs. Davis during an attempt to escape from the jail. A woman carrying a small infant in one arm and flourishing a revolver with the other helped hold up a restaurant at South Dayton, Pa. Accompanied by two men the woman backed waitresses and patrons into a corner. The trio then rifled the cash register and escaped in an automobile. Declaration of intention to file a suit asking $100,000 damages for Louise Hobly from Nathan Leopold Jr., and Richard Loeb, held as slayers of Robert Franks, was filed in court in Chicago by attorneys, who refused to discuss the suit other than to explain that it was "for an attack upon this woman." Replying to the statements attributed to President Obregon of Mexico, attacking American oil interests, Guy Stevens, of New York City, director of the Association of Producers of Petroleum in Mexico, denied that oil companies were engaged in any conspiracy against the stability of Mexico's institutions. A cordon of 150 policemen, fifty physicians and assistants effected a smallpox quarantine in Detroit, Mich., about a fifteen-block section of the East Side in a determined effort to prevent any new outbreak of the epidemic, which is now under control. No person is permitted to leave the district, which is a residential-business section populated largely by foreigners, until he is vaccinated. Street cars are not permitted to stop. That the United States Olympic swimming team this year will be composed largely of record-breaking performers was indicated when contenders for the team smashed two more Olympic records in their final tryouts at Indianapolis, Ind. Lester Smith of the Olympic Club, San Francisco, broke an Olympic record of twelve years' standing when he won the 400-meter free style event in 5:23. The Olympic record of 5:24 2-5 was established by G. R. Hodgson of Canada at Stockholm in 1912. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS SAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY WESTERN Four men in an automobile held up two employees of Frederick & Nelson's department store in Seattle, Wash., obtaining funds for bank deposit said to be approximately $26,000. The robbery took place in front of the Seattle National Bank. An unidentified burglar was shot and killed by a negro chauffeur at the home of Walter W. Head, president of the American Bankers' Association and the Omaha National Bank, at Omaha. Mrs. Head is in Europe and Mr. Head is in the Pacific Northwest. Construction of a new railroad to cost more than $15,000,000 and running from Casper, Wyo., to Craig, Colo., and thence to the Hamilton home oil fields, will be started during the coming summer, according to John E. Hayes, Denver engineer, who is one of the incorporators and directors of the newly-formed company. R. E. Talley of Arizona, Emmett D. Boyle of Nevada, and George A. Stahl of Denver were named a special committee to recommend expedients for stabilizing the mining industry. The action came at the conclusion of the annual meeting in Grass Valley, Calif., of the western board of governors of the American Mining Congress. They will report to the congress in Sacramento in September. Six men and two boys, members of a fishing party, were pounded to death on the rocks of Newport bay jetty, near Santa Ana, Calif., when the launch in which they were heading out to sea was swamped and capsized. Five others were saved. Except one, the six men lost all were well-known business men of Santa Ana. The two boys were sons of a Santa Ana merchant and died with their father. Announcement at this time that the cause of cancer had been discovered and a "remarkably successful" cure evolved is premature, it was declared in a statement issued in San Francisco by Dr. T. J. Glover. The statement expressed regret that the announcement had found its way to the papers at this time. "Any further statement from me or any discussion of this subject will be before a body of men of my profession," it continued. WASHINGTON Ninety-three million bushels less wheat than last year was forecast by the Department of Agriculture from June 1 conditions. Winter wheat prospects declined 44,000,000 bushels in the month since May 1, due mainly to drought, cold weather, insects and disease in the principal producing states. Officials of the Department of Commerce do not believe that the threatened boycott of American goods by Japan will prove to be of serious proportions. If boycotting takes place it will not affect the great bulk of the American export trade to Japan, of which the principal items are iron and steel and raw cotton, according to the view of authorities on the subject. Former Gov. John C. Walton of Oklahoma failed to secure a review by the United States Supreme Court of his impeachment and removal from office by the Oklahoma Legislature. Legal proceedings have been started in the District of Columbia Supreme Court to stop the soldiers' bonus. Benjamin Cathings of New York, who was not identified except as a "taxpayer," asked the court to get out an injunction restraining government officials from issuing the insurance certificates authorized for 4,000,000 World war veterans under the new bonus law which Congress passed over President Coolidge's veto. Apportionment among the states and Hawaii of $75,000,000 for federal aid highway construction for the year beginning July 1, has been announced by Secretary Wallace. Prompt apportionment of the federal funds insures continuation of the work without interruption. Of the 170,000-mile federal aid highway system, 60,000 miles have been surfaced and 8,700 miles graded, leaving 110,000 miles to be surfaced, which will require an annual program of 11,000 miles to be completed by 1934. Express rates throughout the country were ordered readjusted by the Interstate Commerce Commission, which authorized general increases in the eastern zone approximating 8 per cent and slight reductions in the West and South, effective Jan 1, 1925. President Coolidge does not feel that an extra session of Congress was made necessary by the failure of the Senate to pass the deficiency appropriation bill. The President directed government officials to take every step possible under the law to meet the emergency arising from the situation.

The Public Service Company protested against the application of Loveland before the commission, and the commission ruled that the company is giving perfectly satisfactory service to the consumers.

It is said that the Texas company intends to establish a tank farm on the outskirts of Craig and ship oil by rail over the Union Pacific to the Parco, Wyo., refinery. Residents of Craig are inclined to take this announcement as meaning that the Texas company will establish a refinery there in case the other five wells it is drilling in the Moffat field and the combination well it is drilling with the Midwest and Transcontinental in the Iles and Beaver Creek structures are productive. At present the Texas company has a 5,000-barrel well in the Hamilton field, brought in last January. The company has only 6,500-barrel storage capacity at the well and the hole has been capped.

Garden Week to Be Observed Yearly Until America Is the Garden Nation By MRS. JOHN D. SHERMAN. General Federation Women's Clubs. GARDEN WEEK, so successfully observed throughout the country the last two years, has become a national affair. It will be observed every year until America becomes the Garden Nation of the World. FORTY-EIGHT DEAD IN EXPLO SION ON BATTLESHIP MIS SISSIPPI Gardens mean a better home and community spirit, and a deeper sense of the meaning of good citizenship. The qualities of a normal and harmonious life which makes for good citizenship are bassed upon health, contentment, industry, tolerance and a spirit of co-operation. These are crops that I hope will be grown along with the radishes and spinach when we plant gardens. BLAST WRECKS SHIP EXACT CAUSE OF TRAGEDY ON U. S. WARSHIP IS UNKNOWN I hope that some degree of contentment will be found in our 1924 gardens. This state of mind is not entirely dependent upon pleasant surroundings but upon the inner serenity of soul. And nowhere can this be so quickly acquired as in the garden. All the wonders of creation are born anew in the tiniest garden. There the eternal cycle of birth and re-birth goes on without ceasing. In the garden man finds himself admitted into the glorious enterprise of storing up the vital energy of the sun at his pleasure. He is in harmony with the universe. There creeps into his consciousness a friendly feeling for his fellow man. And little by little he loses his discontent and envy. There is no time in a garden, after the frost is out of the ground until the bulbs and vegetables are safely stored for the winter, to nurse a real or fancied grievance. San Pedro, Calif.—Two premature explosions killed three officers and forty-five men of the battleship Mississippi and injured a score of others, and the menace of death still hounded the crippled dreadnaught as she left her dead and injured behind and headed out to sea to protect harbor life and shipping from the peril of a third and imminently expected blast. The first explosion occurred while the Mississippi was engaged in target practice off San Clemente island, forty-five miles from here, spreading death among the eighty-five men in No. 2 turret. Officers said the premature blast might have been due to a sailor giving the signal for the electric flash igniting the charge in one of the turret's fourteen-inch rifles before the breech was properly closed, or may have resulted from a "flare back" caused when a fresh charge was being loaded into the breech. As a sure, swift route to good comradeship there is none better than the common love of gardens. You may not agree with your neighbor on anything else, but if you have swapped tomato plants and watched them grow and talked over your garden plans together, you are friends. I hope that gardens will help to strengthen the family group. The greatest menace of our modern day is the disintegration of the family group. The garden will help to draw the members of the family together and to establish friendlier and closer relations. Irresistible Urge for Maintenance of Highest Possible Standards As the stricken ship reached the goal of its race for surgical assistance—the hospital ship Relief, just inside the breakwater here—a second blast rocked the vessel. The charge in the damaged turret's second fourteen-inch rifle exploded, hurling the steel projectile out to sea, and narrowly missing the stern of the passenger liner Yale, which was leaving the harbor for San Diego. By CALVIN COOLIDGE, in Washington Address. Had the turret, which was revolving at the time the first explosion occurred, remained in the same position until the second blast, the projectile would have crashed into the center of the city of San Pedro. Fortunately the turret had swung around so that its guns pointed directly out to sea. Nearly a score more were injured by the flare back that carried the terrific charge backwards through the breach of the gun instead of out through the muzzle. The gun crew were preparing to fire as one unit in the great sea-fighter's powerful broadside, when a sailor called for the electricity to be turned on for the charge. The switch was thrown to ignite the shell before the breech was locked and in another moment the interior of the turret was littered with dead and dying. A "flare-back" from one of the 14 inch rifles in the turret ignited the powder supply which practically wiped out of existence the entire crew of the turret room and also killed several men in the upper handling room. Four powder bags containing 450 pounds of explosive each, were inside the rifle turret, according to one of the surviving sailors in the handling room above, where several were also killed. By PRESIDENT SAMUEL GOMPERS, American Federation of Labor. Of the injured, several sailors in the passage spaces and handling room above the turret were terribly burned by gas and from the explosion. Coolidge Nominated on First Ballot Yukon Road Funds Cut Dawson, Y. T.—Failure of the United States Senate to ratify a treaty permitting the shipment of liquor to Yukon territory via the port of Skagway, Alaska, will prevent the territory from obtaining revenue for building roads and trails in the Keno Hill silver district from sales of liquor in government stores, according to Gold Commissioner George MacKenzie. The Yukon council, which has been in session and which has withheld appropriations for public improvements, bitterly criticized the United States Senate for its failure to act. Klansmen Found Not Guilty Edensburg, Pa.—A verdict of not guilty of riot, but guilty of affray and unlawful assembly was returned by a jury here in the case of thirty-one alleged Ku Klux Klanmen and residents of Lilly, who were tried upon charges growing out of the riot April 5 between visiting klansmen and townspeople of Lilly. Counsel for the defense immediately filed a motion for a new trial. Casper Banks Merge Casper, Wyo.—Announcement of the purchase by the Wyoming Trust Company of this city of the National Bank of Commerce, also of Casper, was made here a few days ago when the former assumed charge of all deposits, loans and other business of the other institution. Resources of the Wyoming Trust Company are increased to over $2,500,000 by the merger, it was stated. The merger reduces the number of Casper banks to six. NEW RADICAL PARTY OUSTS FRENCH PRESIDENT FROM OFFICE MILLERAND RESIGNS MILLERAND FLAYS ENEMIES WHO CAUSED HIS RESIGNATION Paris.—President Millerand has resigned. The resignation, which followed an adverse vote in the chamber of deputies, was contained in a letter addressed to M. Doumargue as president of the Senate, and M. Painleve as president of the Chamber. It read: "Mr. President: I have the honor to send you my resignation as president of the French republic. Accept, Mr. President, the assurance of my high consideration. "MILLERAND." M. Millerand plans to issue a letter to the French nation in explanation of the circumstances, as he views them, under which the resignation was forced upon him. The new parliamentary majority on the left accomplished its announced object, one forcing M. Millerand from the Elysse palace. The resignation was read before both houses of Parliament. Until the election of a new chief executive by a joint meeting of the Chamber and Senate the executive power was wielded by the acting ministry under M. Francois-Marsal. If we are to maintain the nation and its government institutions with a fair semblance of the principles on which they were founded, two policies always must be supported. Paul Painleve was designated by the Radicals, the Radical Socialists and the Unified Socialists at a caucus as their candidate for presidency of the republic. First, the principle of local self government in harmony with the needs of each state. This means that in general the states should not surrender, but retain their own sovereignty, and keep control of their own government. "In the ranks beside the good citizens of my country, I will take up the struggle for liberty, the republic and France," Alexander Millerand, twelfth President of France, declared in a message to the country which accompanied his resignation from office. Second, a policy of local reflection of nation-wide public opinion. Each state must shape its course to conform to the generally accepted sanctions of society and to the needs of the nation. It must provide a workable similarity of economic and industrial relations. It must protect the health and provide for the education of its own citizens. This policy is already well recognized in the association of the states for the promotion and adoption of uniform laws. Unless this policy be adopted by the states, interference by the nation cannot be resisted. Millerand flayed his political enemies who had driven him from office. "I expected to collaborate with them in entire loyalty," he said. "My offers met with refusal. They demanded my resignation. This was an unjustifiable pretension, violently opposed to the spirit and letter of the constitution." Throughout our whole nation there is an irresistible urge for the maintenance of the highest possible standards of government and society. Unless this sentiment is heeded and observed by appropriate state action there is always grave danger of encroachment upon the states by the national government. But it must always be realized that such encroachment is a hazardous undertaking, and should be adopted only as a last resort. New Mexico Bankers Indicted Silver City, N. M.—Six officials and directors of the Silver City Savings Bank, which suspended business two months ago, have been indicted for accepting deposits when they knew the affairs of the bank to be in an insolvent condition. No names were given out following the announcement of county officials that the indictments had been returned. Additional charges against two directors for the alleged making of excessive loans also were returned. Judge R. R. Ryan requested that Judge Mechem of Alamogordo hear the case instead of it being brought before him. The true course to be followed is the maintenance of the integrity of each state by local laws and social customs which will place it in comparative harmony with all the others. By such a method, which can only be the result of great effort constantly exerted, it will be possible to maintain an indestructible union of indestructible states. Holds Fast to the Institutions That Safeguard Human Freedom Father Kills Child and Self Fort Morgan, Colo.—Mrs. George Bath and daughter Mary, 13, are expected to die as a result of injuries suffered when the husband and father, apparently becoming suddenly insane at the home on the W. H. Payton ranch near here, crushed the skulls of his wife and two young daughters as they lay in bed before hanging himself in the ranch barn. The father and one daughter Lydia, 15, are dead. Mrs. Bath and Mary are in a local hospital. As its name implies the American Federation of Labor embraces in its struggles, its hopes and aspirations, the workers of all America, regardless of race, color, creed, sex or nationality. It is a movement of the workers by the workers and for the betterment of all mankind. Unlike European labor movements it does not believe that the present social structure must be first destroyed in order that an improved social order may come into being. It holds fast to the institutions that safeguard human freedom and permit of the full play of human forces that have made for constant and helpful progress in all the sciences and arts of man. It does not accept or cling to any arbitrary dogma of extreme individualism or collectivism. Mrs. J. D. Sherman Heads Federation Los Angeles.—Mrs. John D. Sherman of Estes Park, Colo., defeated Mrs. Wallace T. Perham of Glendive, Mont., by a two to one vote in the balloting for the presidency of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, according to official returns obtained at convention headquarters here. It repudiates anarchism as readily as socialism and communism as effectively as monarchism. The experience of man has been that too much government is as bad as too little government. To strike an equal balance is the great task of all peoples and governments of today. Much of the woes and ills of the old world may be attributed to extremes being manifested on one or the other side of the scale. Fortunately, we of the new world, the United States and Canada, are the present-day exemplars of that sanity and reason so essential to safeguard the rights and promote the interests of the people. Mexico City.—Villa Hermosa, capital of the state of Tabasco, has finally been captured by the federals without firing a single shot, the rebels having evacuated the place, marching toward Guatemala, according to a report from Gen. Vicente Gonzalez given out by the War Department. College Does Not Appeal to the Young Girls of the Flapper Type By MARY E. WOOLLEY, President Mont Holyoke College. Bandits Get $61,000 Seattle, Wash.—Four thousand dollars was obtained by four men who held up two employees of Frederick & Nelson's, a department store here, it was stated, besides checks totaling $57,000. The checks were recovered. The checks were in a bag found two miles from the scene of the holdup. There has been too much emphasis on the college flapper of late. They have been pictured, in some quarters, as painted, jazzed up, smoking, bob-haired scofflaws. My experience is that college doesn't appeal to young girls of that type. Even if some members of this class, which exists, to a great extent, in the imagination of certain people who are always ready to decry the womanhood of America, do come to college, they soon find that college is no place for them. Generally they are obliged to settle down and work hard in order to keep up with the standards of the institution to which they belong. Statue of Roosevelt Unveiled New York.—Belle Wyatt Roosevelt, 4-year-old grand daughter of the late President, and youngest child of Kernit Roosevelt, unveiled a bronze equestrain statue of her grandfather at the Roosevelt house on East Twentieth street. Several hundred school children attended the exercises, which were opened by a motion picture showing Colonel Roosevelt in many characteristic scenes. The statue was presented by Dr. Waldo Coe of Portland, Ore. It is the duty of educational institutions to show young girls that Christianity really means something. In this matter college authorities are on the defensive. We must interpret to youth the meaning of religion in the light of present-day needs. I hold, that the women of this generation have asserted themselves intellectually, and therefore, are more independent. Independence, however, is not a fault, though I would say it was a liability which needed careful watching.

Only 1-cent and 2-cent stamps IN AFTER YEARS NE of the choice bits of oratorical classics that go to grace the O literary history of our times is the undying oration of Robert Ingersoll on a memorial occasion held by the Grand Army of the Republic. In the course of an address that stirred the hearts of admiring Americans as never before nor since, he said, “The past arises before me like a dream,” and then proceeded to draw a panorama of sacri- ficial events of the blocdy Civil War, leading up to the preservation of the Union that can never be forgotten, Only recently we passed through another memorial occasion in which we again laid wreaths upon the graves of the nation’s heroes—the men who died in the service of their country. They were not alone the graves of those who yielded all in the ‘60s, for in the great stretch of years new ware have been fought, new graves have been made and new heroes have gone on to their reward. Today we are asking, will there be another war? The ques- tion is eternal and each succession of war only reveals how intensely human we are. At the very height of the great world conflict someone, either saint or sinner, pagan or believer, referred to it as a holy war. Can there indeed be such a thing as a holy war? Is not the very phrase itself a contradiction bordering upon irreverence? Can there ever be justification for nation to arm and march against nation, for manhood to slaughter manhood? Assuredly not. Any attempt on our part to deify the moloch of war and destruction is hypocritical and de- ceptive to the last degree. The American nation has known four great wars and there are many hallowed graves within our borders as a com- mon result. It is sald that: “America fought its way to freedom and independence, not through any choice, but because no other means was possible. “America fought to save the Union and to make human liberty unt- versal within its borders, but only when all other recourse had failed. “America fought to extend that liberty to the last island of the -West- ern world, and to establish an outpost of democracy on the fringe ot the Orient, when it accepted the challenge of Spain. “America fought to crush the menace of European imperialism seek: ing wider spheres of dominance, and to end the course of war.”” ‘These reasons apparently form the background of our attempted jus tification, but they are far from conclusive, Within the last month o1 so, two large church organizations, the Methodist General Conference and the Presbyterian Synod, have taken high ground against war for any cause, This is a merciful approach to the Christ and His teaching: in that “Ye should love one another,” and no matter how much we ma take pride in the valor of American arms or hold before coming genera tions the story of our achievements upon the field of battle, Christiar love and forbearance if rightly applied will do away with the need o! added heroes and added graves in years to come. DANGER IN PROGRESS 1tinues to dream of Utopi tful dream seems to be n ence, And then, suddenly are. Of late we have bee! “and how their demonia nfort and destruction of ¢ out things and progress ANKIND still continues to dream of Utopia and there are times M when the delightful dream seems to be materially aided by the distoveries of science. And then, suddenly, comes the awakening from an awful nightmare. Of late we have been reading a great deal about ‘diabolical rays” and how their demoniacal properties may be employed to the discomfort and destruction of civilization. Science is finding out things and progress is marked with mixed emotions of doubt and fear. It is not clear whether new discoveries, new sciences and progress brings to society a greater contentment or ease of mind than we have known in the past. To a very large degree we are children of the night, groping about for that something which will give to society that idealistic state that has been man’s incersant dream from the beginning. Recently a noted professor of science at Cambridge University ventured out in deep water and his sounding of the depths has only served to mystify us the more, And though he looked mainly to the future for such means as would prove a saving grace for human progress, he found civilization and science in a decidedly muddled state. Ah, there is the eternal rub. We are never satisfied with the present; and either we point with disparaging finger to the glory of the past, or else beam radiantly over the vague possibilities of the future. Verily, “Mankind never is, but always IS to be blessed.” The noted Cambridge scientist pictures an age wherein biological invention will be ‘as much a vehicle of human comfort and ease as is the automobile and airplane of today. According to his dream, stored energy generated by the wind mills is going to take the place of coal and oil, and applied chem- istry is all that will save future generations, Nothing is said, however, ‘about the possible price at which these stored commodities may be ob- tained and the future-dealing professor is too discreet to hazard a guess as to what our taxes will be when such a delightful state of human per- fection is reached, Somehow it is difficult for us, of the plain, imatter- of-fact, everyday life, to get wholly away from the more material side of life even when trying to soar with learned scientists into-vast realms. It is the mundane, not the ethereal, that grips us in the final analysis. However, it is consoling to contemplate an age in which disease of all kinds will be permanently banished, when children will be brought into the world with pure minds and natures, healthful of body and soul as ‘a result of selective breeding. We were just about to settle down and accept all this as a human possibility, as an idealistic state so devoutly wished for, that we find ourselves giving over to the regret of having been born in this seething world before our time, when lo, we are told hat still the world will not be a bed of roses, Our dream of Utopia is over and we awake to the final summing up as follows: “phe future will be no primrose path. It will have its own prob- lems, some the secular problems of the past, giant flowers of evil blos- coming at last to their own destruction. Others will be wholly new. Whether in the end man will survive his accessions of power we cannot tell, But the problem is no new one. It is the old paradox of freedom re-enacted with mankind for actor and the earth for stage. To those who believe in the divinity of that part of man which aspires after knowl- edge for its own sake, the-prospect will appear most hopeful. BUT 11 IS ONLY HOPEFUL IF MANKIND CAN ADJUST ITS MORALITY TO ITS POWERS.” 2 CHARLES G. DAWES a . ‘ I aes 5) {oa ged \ safe 4 7 A BRIGADIER GENERAL CHARLES G. DAWES, who was selected to be President Coolidge’s running mate at the convention held in Cleveland this week, is popular among the people of the United States as he distinguished himself in solving the knotty problem of reparutions after the close of the war. In this nomination for the vice presidency the Republican party has again shown its ability to choose men who are capable of leadership and who have given proof of their consist- ency in the faith and confidence of the party. With Coolidge and Dawes suc- cess should be assured. NEGRO WOMAN IS ELECTED TO G. 0. P. COMMITTEE Cleveland, Ohio, June 12.—Mary C. Booze of Mound Bayou, Miss. was elected today as Republican: national committeewoman from her state, She is the first Negro woman to be elevat- ed to the commttee and will serve with Perry W. Howard, a Negro assistant attorney general of the United States, who has been elected committeeman. The new Mississippi committeewoman is a daughter of a slave of Jefferson Davis. She was not a’ candidate for dele- gate from Mississippi and is not in Cleveland. She is represented by her husband, FE. P. Booze, who is chair- man of the Mississippi delegation, (Lincoln News Service) here are 1,000 colored policemen in the United States. Among the 202,435 colored persons employed as cooks, 168,710 are fe- males. Why expect the National Colored Democratic convention to pass a reso lution asking for a reduction of south ern representation in Congress? Including those who specialize in nutritious chitterlings and succulent pigs feet, we have 7,511 restaurant, cafe and lunch-room keepers. Out in Missouri 52 per cent of the people who have reached the axe of 100 years and over are colored. If anyone had suggested a sixty year age limit for bishops at either of the general conferences, he would have been mobbed. In the state of Indiana we have one preacher to every 822 persons, while the whites manage to worry along with one to every 779. OUR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES | (Lincoln News Service) New York, June 10, 1924.—The rapid growth of our life insurance companies, and the conservative man- ner in which most of them have been conducted by our business men who realize that they are building institu- tions that will ultimately funetfon as financial clearing houses for our group is a development along business lines that strongly appeals to every progres- sive member of the race. ‘These tn- stitutions, in which we take so much pride, are now operating in every state in which there is a considerable num- ber of colored inhabitants, and by the opening of new avenues of employ- ment and training for our young men and women they are rendering an in- valuable service. ‘These insurance companies constitute the largest single Business that is finunced and con: controlled by persons of our group, and the failure of any one of them, through bad management or other: ‘wise, would have a far-reaching and = almost disastrous effect by de- stroying the confidence m ractal en: ‘terprises, that has been so difficult to establish. Our business men should understand that their interests are in common; that what affects a part af fects the whole, and that by legitt mately protecting the other fellow, they not only protect themsetyes but are advancing the financial and busi- ness interests of the race.

Church of St. Joseph, Mis sourl, to come to Denver and at- tempt fo reorganize the church, What was said of Abram, afterwards called Abraham, might well be said of Rev, Prince, who after a period of ten years’ service, was enjoying the fruits of his labor and the confidence of his people when he was called out in the far west, into a land almost unknown to him and face a condition which he had not even dreamed of. He came, he saw, he conquered the cireumstances that had erept in and scattered a faithful congregation of more than 500 members who wept when they remembered Zion and scores of whom have passed beyond the vale of teurs but steadfast and with a vision that some one would come to rebuild the chureh, Rey. Prince took charge of the chureh January 1, 1924, and for a con- siderable period listened to what his people had to say, then commenting on same out of his vast experience and set out to make a personal survey of problems to be met and came to the conclusion that he was master of the situation, He called the church to- gether and suggested that instead of a series of revival meetings, that each member make an earnest endeavor to get all of the old members back into the church for reorganization. This, of course, met with great success and the first of March the church was duly reorganized Into all of the prin- cipal and auxiliary branches of the Baptist Church, ‘The object of this or- ganization is not only to dispense the spirit of brotherly love, but to be a community center and an outstanding factor in the civic betterment of the city of Denver. With regards to the progress of the church, the membership January 1st was less than 100; June Ist there were 450 active members. At the same time there was no Sunday School and on Sunday, June 7th, the attendance was: Officers, 5; teachers, 15; classes, 15, and 166 students. ‘The first united ef- fort on the part of the chureh and Sun- day School netted $1,000, which was ample to tuke care of all immediate emergencies existing at that time. ‘The pastor is out of the city at this time in attendance at the Natfonal Sunday School Congress, convening at Cincinnati, Ohio, from June 11th thru 15th. He will be returning within the next ten days and in the meantime the clubs and committees are continuing with heavy licks und steady blows in their effort to reach the $5,000 mark in the great rally on June 29th.

REV. I. S. WILSON ASSUMES DU TIES AS PRESIDING ELDER REV. I. S. WILSON, for several years pastor of Campbell A. M. E. Church, entered upon his duties as Presiding Elder of this district the first part of the week. It goes without saying that the many friends of Rev. Wilson are more than proud to note his advance in the ministerial field, and yet genuine regret is expressed on all sides that he is to be taken from Campbell, for no more popular pastor has ever filled the pulpit at his church. There is consolation in knowing, however, that his duties will necessitate his being in Denver and that he will maintain his residence here during the term of service as Presiding Elder. PROMINENT MEMPHIS BUSINESS MAN PAYS DENVER BRIEF VISIT Mr. M. S. Stuart of Memphis, Tenn., general manager of the Mississippi Life Insurance Company and its subsidiary, the Southern Life Insurance Company, visited with his family at 2322 Franklin street for a few days this week. Mr. Stuart is one of the South's big men and is regarded as an authority on life insurance. He is an old-time friend of our popular physician, Dr. C. E. Terry, who with Messrs. C. C. Dove, H. L. Brown, Dr. C. F. Holmes and I. F. Simmons tendered him a delightful stag Wednesday night. DENVER SENDS LARGE DELEGATION TO STATE FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS One of the largest delegations that has ever attended a meeting of the State Federation of Colored Women's clubs left Denver early Tuesday morning for Pueblo, where the 1924 session is being held this week. It was a representative body of women and Denver may well feel proud of those who attended. Practically every federated club in the city sent a full quota of delegates and many visiting friends accompanied them to the "Pittsburg of the West." LARGE CONGREGATION GREETS NEW PASTOR AT SHORTER REV. A. WAYMAN WARD, recently appointed by Bishop Carey to pastor Shorter A. M. E. Church, filled the pulpit last Sunday for the first time as pastor, and a large congregation was on hand to bid him welcome to his new duties. Rev. Ward in most essentials is a Denver product and his successful career is a source of immense happiness to the many citizens who have known him for so long and who have learned to love the Ward family for their priceless contribution to the cause of Christianity. His initial sermon last Sunday was a masterpiece, being especially adapted to the Children Day services that were the special feature for the day. We predict for Rev. Ward much success at historic Shorter. SECRETARY OF PHILLIIS BRANCH Y. W. C. A. HONORED MISS HELEN TAYLOR, secretary of the Phyllis Wheatly Branch of the Y. W. C. A. left Tuesday for Estes Park to address the Student Conference of the Y. M. C. A. on the Woman's View Point of inter-racial conditions. These conferences have become annual affairs and attract nation-wide attention because of the wide range of subjects frankly discussed and the many prominent men who more and more are becoming identified with the movement. That the door should be opened for the discussion of such a subject as has been given our talented secretary shows the breadth of those handling the affair. It is a rare opportunity given Miss Taylor and we are certain she will eminently arise to the occasion. Our cause is safe in her hands. MR. AND MRS. ROBT. L. RUSS HOLD RECEPTION The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. L. Russ, 2612 South Logan street, was a scene of splendor and beauty, not easily to be forgotten by those whose good fortune it was to attend the reception last Thursday evening in honor of their new pastor and wife, Elder and Mrs. L. H. Lawrence of the Seventh Day Adventist church, and Miss Emma E. Spillard of Omaha, Neb. Decorations of rare flowers wafting a fragrance that lent quite an effect by inhaling; a musical program rendered by Prof. Liggins and Mrs. Edith Matthews, and dainty refreshments combined in making this unique event. More than fifty persons responded to the invitations and all left declaring the Russ family among our leading entertainers. SYLVESTER STEWART IS CRITICALLY ILL Mr. Sylvester Stewart, after an illness of two weeks, was removed to the Paradise Valley sanitarium where the doctor pronounced him an almost physical wreck from overwork. The strain has been more than he could withstand and having a strong constitution fought against his illness, which was a handicap to an early recovery. He was taken to the sanitarium last week by Messrs. Griffin, Ramsey and Heidelberg. The affairs of Mr. Stewart have been left in the hands of his old trusted friend, J. H. Griffin. Mr. Griffin and he have been associated together for many years and Mr. Stewart knows that he can feel safe in leaving his affairs to Mr. Griffin.—San Diego Eagle. W. H. MORRIS PASSES William Henry Morris, former grand master and prominent churchman of Denver, Colo., passed away at his home on East Eleventh street, this city, last Sunday at 8:15 p. m.

Gross, one of the incorporators of the newly-organized Calvin Coolidge Club, received the following letter from Hon. C. Bascom Slemp, secretary to the President: The White House, Washington, June 5, 1924. My Dear Mr. Gross: The President is deeply gratified by the loyal interest in his administration which has prompted the formation of the Calvin Coolidge Club of Colorado. Your letter does not state whether you are yourself an officer, so that unfortunately he has no means of expressing to its officers his appreciation. I am sure, however, that it will be a very real help in bringing about the result'which we all desire. Mr. George W. Gross, % State Highway Dept., State Office Building, Denver, Colorado. MOORFIELD STORY ISSUES AP PEAL Eminent Boston Attorney Calls Upon All to Support N. A. A. C. P. In the fourteenth annual report of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People the following significant appeal from Hon. Moorfield Storey appears: To all Readers of this Report: 16 all Readers In the pages which follow you will read of the aims and the accomplishments during 1823 of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. We feel sure that you will heartily approve of the former and rejoice at the latter. Our ever present problem, however, is that of finding money enough to do even the most necessary work. Unfortunately, ours is not a popular cause. It is a difficult task to raise funds for it. In too large a percentage of the worth-while cases which come to us do we have to refuse aid because of the lack of necessary funds. Our executives must give much of their time towards raising money—which means a lessening of efficiency for work to be done. Will you give that they may execute? You can do so in two ways: first, by making as large a contribution as your interest and means will allow and renewing that contribution each year; second, by including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in your will. Won't you do both and thereby do your part towards bringing common justice and equal opportunity to all Americans regardless of color? MOORFIELD STOREY. President Within the grim walls of the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kansas, are fifty-four men, former members of the 24th infantry, who are now beginning to see a streak of daylight ahead for the first time since their incarceration because of the unceasing efforts of the N. A. A. C. P. All will be liberated within a very short time. In Elaine, Arkansas, are today twelve Negroes enjoying full freedom and citizenship through the fight made in their behalf by this association. In every battle for manhood rights in this country within the last fifteen years Moorfield Storey has led the way. He is the greatest champion of our cause since the days of Charles Sumner. Can we afford to turn a deaf ear to any appeal he makes. He has never received a dollar for his own services but has given freely of his time and great ability to us. A membership drive is on in Denver at present, and remember when you join the Denver branch you become one of the upstanding army that believes in and is willing to fight for common justice and equality of opportunity. AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION'S MAGAZINE Praises Legislation Urged By Denver Branch, N. A. A. C. P. When a bill was before the Colorado legislature last year designed to give power to the various cities of the state to enact zoning laws, the officers of the Denver branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People called upon the Senate committee having the bill in charge to urge that nothing be included in the proposed zoning law that would in any way imperil the rights of Negro citizens as property owners or be in conflict with the provisions of the Civil Rights bill. The sponsors of the bill readily assured the officers that nothing inimical to our rights would be permitted to pass the committee, but our race representatives insisted upon a positive declaration of policy that could not be misunderstood. And so Senator Henry Wolcott Toll was appealed to with the following result: The American Bar Association's magazine, The Journal, for March, 1924, contains an article entitled "Zoning Laws and Ordinances," by J. P. Chamberlain and Sterling Pierson, in which appears the sentence: "The Colorado law is noteworthy in its provision that it shall not be construed to confer or enlarge any authority or power to establish any restriction based upon race or color."

Facts About the World's Greatest Hydraulic Development By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN USCLE SHOALS, an enormous hydraulic power and navigation development in process of construction by the United States government on the Tennessee river in northern Alabama, is a subject of nation-wide discussion by the American people. Various circumstances have combined to fix popular attention upon these government-owned properties, the world's largest hydraulic development. M America's entrance into the World war in 1917 found us dependent upon Chile for nitrates with which to manufacture explosives. Nitrates can be taken from the nitrogen in the air. The power and the facilities for the manufacture of an adequate supply were not available. Hence the federal government decided to construct a nitrate plant of its own. Muscle Shoals was selected as the site because it had ample water power, was convenient to the raw materials, coal and limestone, and was secure from a military viewpoint. Work was begun at Muscle Shoals in July of 1918. At the signing of the armistice in November of 1918 a steam-power nitrate plant had been practically completed. Wilson Dam, however, had been barely begun. Congress decided to complete Wilson Dam and it will be ready to deliver its power some time in 1925. Muscle Shonls did not become useless at the signing of the armistice. On the contrary it possesses great peace-time possibilities. It can be made a source of two of the most important factors in our industrial development—electricity and nitrogen compounds. The uses of electrical power are almost limitless. Nitrogen compounds can be made into either explosives or fertilizer, the preliminary stages of manufacture being the same. Completion of the Muscle Shonls project will also greatly increase the navigability of the Tennessee river. During the last two years several offers have been made to the War department for part or all of the Muscle Shonls properties. The secretary of war referred these offers to congress with the request for legislation covering the situation. Muscle Shoals Project in Detail. President Coolidge, in a message to congress December 6, 1923, recommended that the properties be sold, subject to the right of the government to retake them in time of war and with a covenant that experimentation for the manufacture of fertilizers be carried on to success. He recommended that congress consider offers, conduct negotiations and report definite recommendations. This article, however, is solely for the purpose of giving the outstanding facts in connection with the physical aspects of the Muscle Shoals development. Other phases of the complicated situation are purposely ignored. The strictly war-time works at Muscle Shoals are far from representing all of the present undertakings, existing and proposed. If present plans are carried out, the complete development comprises the following: Dam No. 1—This is a small navigation dam to be erected at Florence, two miles below the Wilson Dam. Its estimated cost is $1,400,000. Its construction is not yet approved. It is to contain a navigation lock and will provide sufficient depth of water up-stream to the Wilson Dam. From Florence to the Ohio, a distance of 257 miles, there is to be a six-foot channel. Dam No. 2—This is the Wilson Dam, elsewhere described in detail. It will develop power and is provided with navigation locks. Its final cost is estimated at $51,000,000. Dam No. 3—This is a proposed power and navigation dam, located 18 miles above Wilson Dam. Its construction is not yet approved. It would raise the water in the river 40 feet and permit navigation a further distance up stream for about 65 miles. It would supply power to a maximum of 250,000 horsepower. This dam would be even longer than the Wilson Dam, but not so high. Its estimated cost is $25,000,000. Nitrate Plant No. 1—This is a relatively small nitrate plant built in 1917 for experimental purposes at a cost of $10,000,000. Nitrate Plant No. 2—This is a large nitrate plant built to supply nitrates for explosives during the war. Its total cost, including a 100,000-horsepower steam plant and a limestone quarry at Waco, was about $30,000,000. Villages—In connection with Nitrate Plants Nos. 1 and 2 complete villages for workers were built. Plant No. 2 covers a site consisting of 2,300 acres of land. It consists of six separate plants for the various chemical processes and there are in addition 186 permanent houses, with electric lights, sewers and water supply; one hotel with 100 rooms, furnished with all modern improvements; 22 miles of improved roads; 37 miles of standard- gauge railroad; 20 miles of sewers; 16 miles of domestic and fire water supply; a 60,000,000-gallon reservoir with pumping plant and filter, and an ice plant. Gorgas Steam Power Plant—In order to obtain power for construction work and for operation of the nitrate plant while its main power supply was still unavailable, a 40,000-horsepower generating plant was erected on the property of the Alabama Power company at Gorgas, Ala., 88 miles away, and connected with Muscle Shoals by a long transmission line. This plant is not an integral portion of the Muscle Shoals development. It was, therefore, sold to the Alabama Power company under an agreement made with that company at the time it was erected. illary apparatus sections and a shore section. "Ultimate installation calls for eighteen main power units, four of which are 30,000 horsepower each, and fourteen of 35,000 horsepower each. Four of the latter fourteen and the four 30,000 horsepower units are being installed at the present time, making an initial installation of 260,000 horsepower. Each power unit consists of a water turbine of the Francis type, in a vertical setting with electrical generator above on the same shaft. The four 30,000 horsepower turbines were manufactured by the William Cramp & Sons Ship & Engine Building company, and the generators for same were made by the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing company. "Five thousand men are employed on the con- Largest Dam in the World. The illustration given herewith suggests outstanding features of Wilson Dam. The inserted map shows the relative positions of the three dams. The navigation part of the Muscle Shoals project is too extensive and complicated to be described in detail here. In general it may be said that the Tennessee river rises in northeastern Tennessee, flows southwest, makes an east to west loop through northern Alabama and then flows north through Tennessee and Kentucky, joining the Ohio near its juncture with the Mississippi at Cairo, Ill. The Tennessee is 652 miles long from Knoxville, Tenn., to Paducah, Ky. At Muscle Shoals, in northern Alabama, the river falls 134 feet in 37 miles. Here is the main obstruction to the through navigation of the river. With the three dams and the supplemental locks in operation, the Muscle Shoals obstacle would be removed. The Wilson Dam, as the illustration suggests, is an impressive structure and pleasing to the eye. There are longer dams and dams that are higher, but none that is larger. Ministerial golfers in moments of stress requiring adequate expression will soon be expected to change over from Gatun or Assuan to Wilson, or at least to cap the climax with Wilson. It should be remembered that the stream here runs from east to west and that in the illustration the north bank is at the left of the picture. Wilson Dam was built primarily for the purpose of furnishing electric power, but the navigation phase had to be considered. This accounts for the lock on the north bank. Then comes the main dam and next the power house extending from the main dam to the south shore. The switch and control buildings will be located on the bluff on the south shore. If a drydock is needed in the future, it will be located upstream from the lock. Hugh L. Cooper, designing and supervising engineer of the Wilson Dam, says the entire structure will contain 36,500,000 solid cubic feet of masonry and cover 20 acres of ground. He visualizes this mass of masonry by saying it is equivalent to a concrete road from New York to Chicago, 16 feet wide and six inches thick. The project is being constructed by the War department, corps of engineers, U. S. A., under Maj. Gen. Lansing H. Beach, chief of engineers, and Brig. Gen. Harry Taylor, assistant chief, immediately in charge. The construction forces are under the direction of Lleut. Col. George R. Spalding. Mr. Cooper says of the dam proper: The dam proper rises to a height of 137 feet above foundations and backs up the water to a depth of 98 feet, from the bedrock to the new water surface. The spillway section of the dam is of the overfall gravity type of dam. Normal pool level above the dam is at elevation 501, normal tailwater is at elevation 409, thus making the normal head available 92 feet. The crest of the spillway is at elevation 483, and each spillway opening is 38 feet wide in the clear, with an 8-foot pier between. Supported on these piers and arched over each spillway proper bridge, a dam is an open spillway for the spillway control gates and providing a double track bridge and roadway across the river. In all, there are 58 spillway openings, each with a control gate of structural steel, 18 feet high and 40 feet long. "The last five sections of the dam, adjoining and connecting to the power house forebay structure, are not spillway sections," says Mr. Cooper. "In these five sections there are located thirteen sluices. Each sluice is simply a 9-foot diameter conduit extending through the dam, protected at the upstream end by a massive concrete screen, and controlled at the downstream or discharge by a 108-inch butterfly valve. These valves are operated by a small compressed air engine, mounted on a car which travels on a track above valves. When one of the sluices is opened under full head it discharges a stream eight feet or more in diameter at a velocity at about 45 feet per second or thirty miles an hour. Enormous Power to Be Generated. "The power house structure can be divided into two parts: the forebay structure and the power house building. The forebay structure is that portion of the structure which retains the water and serves as a part of the water barrier. It is designed to withstand the entire water pressure without the aid of the power house building. The arch bridge and roadway continue without change of grade over the forebay structure to the south shore. The power house is approximately 1,250 feet long, 160 feet wide and 134 feet high, and when completed will contain eighteen main units, two aux illary apparatus sections and a shore section. Ultimate installation calls for eighteen main power units, four of which are 30,000 horsepower each, and fourteen of 35,000 horsepower each. Four of the latter fourteen and the four 30,000 horsepower units are being installed at the present time, making an initial installation of 260,000 horsepower. Each power unit consists of a water turbine of the Francis type, in a vertical setting, with electrical generator above on the same shaft. The four 30,000 horsepower turbines were manufactured by the William Cramp and Sons Ship & Engine Building company, and the generators for same were made by the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing company. "Five thousand men are employed on the construction of this project. They work in three shifts, each shift working eight hours. This construction camp is in reality a fair-sized town. The main concrete mixing plant is located on an island in the middle of the river. From here the concrete is hauled in large buckets on railroad cars to any part of the job where it may be needed. Railroad tracks serve every available part of the work. In all more than twenty miles of track have been laid for construction purposes. A construction bridge carrying railroad tracks as well as tracks for huge traveling derricks had to be constructed. In order to build the formwork for the concrete, a lumber yard, sawmill and layout platform had to be erected. The lumber used on the job will run to millions of feet board measure." The manufacture of destructive explosives from nitrates taken from the air is a fascinating subject, especially in connection with the fact that the same nitrates can easily be turned into harmless and beneficial fertilizer. As it stands today, Nitrate Plant No. 2 can fix from the atmosphere the nitrates required for the continuous supply of ammunition for an army of 1,250,000 men. In war time the cost of ammunition is not an essential feature. But can fertilizer be manufactured at Muscle Shoals at peace-time prices? This seems to be an unsettled question. Maj. J. K. Crain, ordnance department, U. S. A., says on this much-vexed question in connection with the Muscle Shoals project. There is some doubt that fertilizer can be produced by the process for which Muscle Shuels properties are now equipped at a price low enough to compete with the products from other sources. However, this subject is engaging the attention of scientists in both private and governmental employ. Promising results have been attained at the fixed nitrogen laboratory in Washington, D. C., which laboratory was established by the War department, but turned over to the control of the Department of Agriculture in 1921. The doubtful outcome of experiments in this field has caused the War department to oppose relinquishment of the title to these properties and to limit their use to what must be returned to the control of the government in an effective condition to be utilized in the manufacture of explosives, should they pass to the control of persons who did not continue their use of the manufacture of fertilizers. Taking Nitrogen From Air. "The raw materials employed in the manufacturing process are nitrogen, obtained from the air, limestone, and coal, which is used in the form of coke," says Major Crain. "The first step is to burn the limestone to lime, which is an oxide of calcium (CaO). This is then mixed with coke (carbon) and the mixture is heated to a very high temperature in electric furnaces. The product thus formed is a combination of calcium and carbon, the familiar 'calcium carbide' (CaC-2) which generates acetylene when placed in water. The carbide is run out of the furnaces in a liquid state, and after cooling and solidifying, is ground to a fine powder. "The next step is to add nitrogen to the carbide. For this purpose practically pure nitrogen is needed. There are several different methods of separating nitrogen from the oxygen of the air, but the one used at Muscle Shoals, because of its simplicity and cheapness, is first to liquify air and then to separate the two gases by taking advantage of the fact that the boiling points of the two liquid gases are slightly different. (Oxygen boils at -182.5 degrees Centigrade and nitrogen at -195.5 degrees Centigrade.) The process is very similar to that used in separating mixtures of alcohol and water. "The actual fixation of the nitrogen is now accomplished by passing it over the finely ground carbide heated to a temperature of about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. A reaction takes place under these conditions and a complex compound of calcium, carbon, and nitrogen, called cyanamide (CaCN-2) is the result. "The next step in the production of both explosives and fertilizer is to heat the cyanamide in large steel tanks with steam and water, which results in the formation of ordinary ammonia. "Ammonia can be readily changed into nitric acid (HNO-3), and from this acid any desired nitrogen compound for either agricultural or military purposes can be made. For fertilizers, ammonium phosphate and ammonium sulphate are the preferred forms; while for explosives, there is a host of nitrogen products, dynamite, T. N. T., and many others." WASHINGTON SIDELIGHTS "Directed Especially at Jane Addams" Hanihara Is Well Liked at the Capital Norfleet, "Boomerang Sucker" From Texas Aviation; Central America; Panama Canal Aviation; Central America; Panama Canal The Women's International League for Peace, and slacker oath pacifist organizations was introduced the other day in the house by Representative Clarence McLeod of Michigan. McLeod announced that he had drafted it after conference with the attorney general, who, he said, admitted there were no laws today under which pacifist organizations actually boosting bolshevik plans could be curbed. The bill is intended to prevent the mailing, displaying or distributing in any way of propaganda advocating the overthrow of the government by violence or opposition by violence to any law of the United States. It is contended that under these provisions advocating the forcible resistance to a war of defense would become a crime. A statement from McLeod said: "The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom and similar organizations have made such marked headway in advocating the principles of Trotzky and other officials of the soviet government that immediate steps to put an end to their activities in the United States becomes necessary. MASANAO HANIHARA, the Japanese ambassador, whose note on Japanese immigration stirred up trouble, has always been personally popular in Washington. Hanhara, short of stature, round-faced and rosy-cheeked, went to Washington first in 1901, when he was twenty-five years old, as one of the secretaries of the Japanese embassy and almost immediately became probably the best liked oriental who ever lived in the city. He speaks flawless English and also has a thorough understanding of American idioms and slang, using both with telling effect when the occasion seems to warrant it. He is highly educated, a voracious reader and has a marvelous memory for facts and faces. In addition he is one of the most suavely polite men in the capital, has a captivating smile, is quick at repartee, plays a good game of poker and is at home and welcome in any social gathering. The newspaper men like Haniharn. He was a reporter for a time on a Tokyo newspaper before he entered the diplomatic service and he understands why reporters ask the questions they do and write as they do. Consequently he talks frankly to them and does not try to tell them what to FRANK NORFLEET of Hale county, Texas, famous as the nemesis of confidence men, will receive $17,000 by congressional appropriation if a bill introduced by Representative Marvin Jones of Texas and backed by Representative William M. Valle of Colorado passes. Norfleet is known in Denver as the boomerang sucker, who aided Philip S. Van Clee, district attorney, in rounding up and sending to prison members of the $1,000,000 Denver bunko ring. The Jones bill requests congress to reimburse Norfleet to the extent of $17,000 for expenses incurred in a roundup of 84 confidence men who fleeced him out of $45,000 four years ago. At the risk of his life and at very heavy expense he trailed Joe Furey and Furey's gang throughout the entire country, and a few weeks ago put the last of the Furey ring behind the bars, congress was told. His aid to the Denver district attorney and authorities elsewhere has been instrumental in the conviction of THIS country is likely to wake up some morning soon and find that what might become its greatest assurance of peace and insurance against war has been snatched away during a night of pacifist and no defense chatter. Industries of four nations—Japan, France, Italy and Germany—now are seeking aviation concessions in Central America, which, army and navy chiefs declare, would leave the Panama canal defenseless in time of war against the nation controlling the air to the south of it. Without the canal the problems of west const defense would be almost unsolvable. Thus, though it sounds grotesque at first to say our national safety hinges in part on development of Central America's aviation, that is what military men who have studied the question maintain. They are convinced that if this country will extend its air mail to Central America and help the nations there develop air possibilities these three birds would be killed with one stone: It would be impossible for any nation successfully to attack the canal from the air because our peace time aviation development would give us air bases and an air industry quickly convertible to war needs. "It appears that legislation of a drastic nature is absolutely necessary at the present time, and the sooner this country can avail itself of a proper law to prohibit and punish persons guilty of unwarranted and seditious acts against the government of the United States, the quicker we will be in a better position to deal with this poisonous and damnable propaganda, which does nothing more than breed discontent and undermine our institutions." At about the same time the press reported the opening in Chicago of a peace school in connection with the league. Noted women present included Jane Addams; Dr. Aletta Jacobs, originator of the birth control movement; Dr. Anita Augspurg, first woman lawyer in Germany; Mile, Luce Dejardin, labor inspector and chevalier of the Order of Leopold II of Belgium; Mme. Eplash Youssoff, first woman journalist in Turkey; Rosika Schwimmer, Hungarian ambassador to Switzerland; Dr. Gertrude Woker, noted professor of chemistry at Berne, Switzerland; politicians, social workers, doctors, philanthropists, teachers, and writers. Young—slim Dorothy Wong of China, still in college; old—Dr. Jacobs, past seventy. many with white hair—five with it bobbed. print or what not. If he knows anything he doesn't desire to see printed he just doesn't tell it. In 1901 he was assigned as one of the secretaries at Washington and was one of the staff of the embassy at the Portsmouth peace conference following the Russo-Japanese war. He was recalled to Japan in 1910. When the agitation against Japanese immigration began to stir things on the Pacific coast back in 1916, he was named consul-general at San Francisco. His tact and discretion contributed much to the settlement of the question at the time. When Viscount Ishil came to this country in 1917, touring the United States with a large suite, Hanlhara was his chief of staff. His next appearance in America was at the arms conference called by the late President Harding, coming as the secretary-general of the Japanese delegation. Later he succeeded Ambassador Sidehara, who was in poor health. With all his smiling suavity, Hanlhara never agrees with anything he doesn't want to agree with and despite his long association with occidentals and his ability to get the western viewpoint in most things he never forgets his nationalism. more than thirty other bunko artists around the country. In Denver, during the time that the district attorney was on the trail of the local bunko ring, time after time attempts to have suckers picked up by the gang net with failure. To obtain definite evidence against the ring District Attorney Van Clse needed a witness who would work with him, get the goods on the gang, tip the district attorney and permit the confidence operators to be caught red-handed. Out of a clear sky came Norfleet. In Denver on the trail of members of the Furey gang still at large, Norfleet was picked up by a steerer for the Blonger-D $\textcircled{1}$ gang of Denver. Norfleet notified the district attorney and agreed to go through as a state witness. The result is that aged Lou Blonger (now dead), A. W. Duff, Dapper Jackie French, Artful Artie Cooper, Louis Mushnick and the lesser lights in the Denver bunko constellation were sent to Canon City. It might even prevent war with any Asiatic nation, for our air position would make attack futile. It would create great peace time advantages for Central, South, and North America, linking the three by air, creating closer business friendship and stimulating trade. The United States, it is believed, could have the chance to develop Central American aviation for the asking. Guatemala already has asked us to step in. Nicaragua has indicated unofficially a similar desire. Other nations are reported officially to be holding off from offers of foreign concerns in the hope that America will act—but they cannot hold off forever. This statement came from Rear Admiral William A. Moffett: "Air strategy is today a fundamental consideration in defense of the canal, and the islands of the Caribbean are in most cases potential air bases which must enter into any problem of defense and national security. Development of aviation in Central America by our interests would assure us safety for the canal." A bill, already passed by the senate and now pigeon holed, it seems, in the house, would give navy and marine officers permission to go to Central America to train its fivers.

Herein lies the secret of the popularity of crepe de chine for children's dresses. No matter how delicate its tint, it is thoroughly practical. Another point in favor of crepe de chine for junior frocks is, it lends itself so charmingly to "self-trim" decorative schemes. Even the roses at the girdle on the pretty little dress in the picture are conjured of the selfsame material as the pown itself. So are the flatings set a rows about the sleeves and the 1 @ 1 Junior Crepe de Chine Frock skirt, stopping short just in time to better display a perfectly plain front panel. Mothers make wise selection in a gown like this, for little daughter will be tastefully frocked therein at any and every dress-up occasion and as an informal party dress this model is ideal. Self-trim with crepe de chine as the medium is effectively achieved through pin-tucks in many of the junior frocks in the summer collection. A very lovely dress in powder blue is allover pin-tucked from lace yoke to hem, with a row of crystal buttons up and down the front supplemented with a side frill of lace the entire length. Rows of plotted ruffles are charmingly disposed on some of the prettiest models and the tiered skirt is again featured. Smocking of accordion plait- W I W Collection of Summer Hats ing is artfully introduced, this hand- work applied to the yoke and on the skirt just below the waistline. Volle is competing with crepe de chine this season. Ruffles of self material and hemstitching are largely employed in the fashioning of these colorful volle frocks. Coral and yellow predominate among the high volle shades, while for crepe de chine peach, orchid and turquose are favored. After all the "to be or not to be" discussion in regard to wide --- brims, the question is at last settled, and to the joy of the "summer girl" in the affirmative. Not only is there a plentiful showing of large drooping shapes throughout the summer collection of French models, but picturesque leghorns and transparent hair bodies are especially featured by American designers of the hat beautiful. Black chantilly lace as fine as fragile cobweb forms the unique scarf which so gracefully drapes the wide-brimmed hat shown at the top of the accompanying millinery group. This model of both picturesque and style appeal is of the new canvas straw, bleached very white to accord with I the glistening snow-white lace-covered satin which scarfs it so charmingly. The apolique flowers covering the crown of the huge chiffon-brimmed hat to the right present a color study which can be credited to the creative genius of not other than an artist born. Artcraft as applied to hand made flowers and fantasies is an outstanding note of millinery designing. The vogue for ostrich is in the ascendency. Pastel ostrich in rainbow effects is one of the delights of this summer's millinery. It is the placement of lovely ostrich plumage all over the crown and part of the brim, which gives so entrancing an aspect to the mauve transparent hair hat portrayed to the small circle in this group. Even the fascination of such lovely K. large picture hats as are here shown fall to dislodge the little cloche from its pedestal of fame. There is irresistible coquery in the demure brim of a bonnet such as is shown to the right herewith. Powder blue pyroxiline braid and gay printed silk combine in the making of this naive model with a cluster of mother of pearl disks to complete its ensemble. The other bonnet owes its effectiveness to its unique trim of narrow moire ribbon. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (@. 1924. Western Newspaper Union.)
