LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY DEMANDS FRANK REPUDIATION OF DUBOIS' SEGREGATED POLICY N. A. A. C. P. Must Maintain Its Position of Equality for All or Fail, Says Daniel Brooks, Reynold's School Head VOL. XXX DEMANDS FRANK DUBOIS' SE N. A. A. C. P. Must Maintain All or Fail, Says Date School THE expected annual convention of the N. A. A. C. P., planned to occur in Philadelphia in a few days, is an event of great importance—far greater than most of us seem to realize. The N. A. A. C. P. occupies the unique position of being the only organization among colored people in the United States which claims the authority to speak the will of the thoughtful and forward-looking colored people the country over. What it stands for is supposed by many white people to be what the American Negro stands for—what it acquireses in, the American Negro is supposed tacitly to have agreed to endure. The colored people of Philadelphia, therefore, have a right to expect from the N. A. A. C. P. at this convention unequivocal statements of position on certain crucial questions now confronting the American Negro as a whole, and the Philadelphia colored people in particular. A nation-wide campaign of segregation and limitation directed against Negroes was started in the border states during the World War by those who hated to see the Negro profit by his sacrifices of blood and treasure. This tidal wave early reached Pennsylvania and soon became evident in Philadelphia under varied forms. Its menace was promptly recognized by a few of the more vigilant colored people of this city and its advance has been resisted to the uttermost. Now is the time for the N. A. A. C. P. to come boldly to the aid of these efforts Philadelphia and all other Pennsylvania Negroes who love liberty are fighting first SEGREGATION—segregation in public schools, segregation in home-buying, segregation in eating houses, segregation in public parks and play-grounds, bathing-beaches, theaters, and public conveyances. Nor is this segregation a mere "bogey," held up to affright the excitable; overt acts are constantly being committed, aided sometime by the type of Negro who can always be found to lend a hand in such things when he is promised sufficient reward, which show that a general assault upon the rights of the Negroes in Philadelphia and throughout the state is held in check only by the fear that the Negroes would be driven into concerted action through the courts to test the legality of these acts which defy the Constitution of our great Commonwealth. Nor are these all the evils against which Philadelphia Negroes have been contending. We are contending against the housing of colored children in unfit schools, against the doctrine that colored teacher is unfit to teach a child of any other racial division, against the policy that colored teachers are unfit to teach in high schools or normal schools, against the pernicious efforts to cajole our young people away from the State Normal schools of widest reputation and longest standing into a Normal School planned to attract only colored students while scores of colored graduates of the Philadelphia Normal School stand holding their diplomas unable to get an appointment in local State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House FOR THE ONLY RELIANCE COLORA REPUDIATION OF AGGREGATED POLICY In Its Position of Equality for Daniel Brooks, Reynold's Head schools. We are contending against the policy of restricting appointments in public service. We contend for Negro police-sergeants, for a colored member of the Board of Education—in a word, for the "open door" for merit regardless of race or color. The N. A. A. C. P. lost many supporters this past year in Pennsylvania. The address delivered by Dr. BuBois lending aid and comfort to those who favor segregation of colored children in Pennsylvania schools, has shocked and discouraged many Pennsylvania members whose support of the N. A. A. C. P. was based on their belief that its stated object, "to combat the spirit of persecution which confronts the colored people of this land, safeguard their full political, civil and legal rights, and secure for them equality of opportunity with all other citizens," was to be an ever-guiding star, not a temporary platform to be abandoned whenever one of DuBois' friends might be embarrassed by it. Not all the concerted efforts of Dr. Pickens, Reva Bagnall and Walter White have been able to offset the effects of Dr. DuBois' blunder. This is a crucial moment for the N. A. A. C. P. in Pennsylvania. It must walk a straight road. Throwing up a "smoke screen" of social affairs, excursions and spell-binding oratory will not save the day. The thousands of dollars squandered in fine clothes, automobiles and social gaieties last Thanksgiving Day did us harm enough. Nothing but a frank repudiation of the stand taken by Dr. BuBois and a straightforward public rededication of the N. A. A. C. P. to its original position of "Equality for all; no discrimination on account of race or color," will make of this annual convention what it should be, another milestone in the progress of the Negro.—Philadelphia Tribune. "Fire in the Flint," a New Novel by Walter White, Announced for Fall "Fire in the Flint," a New Novel by Walter White, Announced for Fall New York, June 13.—"The Fire in the Flint," a novel by Walter White, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has been announced for fall publication, by the New York publishing house, Alfred A. Knopf, 730 Fifth avenue. Mr. White's novel deals with the Negro problem in Georgia, and with the tragedy of an educated colored man who returns from the North to meet the insult that is the portion of colored people in his community. Mr. White was born in Atlanta, Ga., was graduated from Atlanta University, and was for a time cashier of the Standard Life Insurance Co., until he joined the staff of the N. A. A. C. P. The publication date of his novel is Sept. 5. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1924 Colored Babies Sent to Jail With Mothers In Texas (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) New York, June 13.-The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today made public an account of the jailing in Texas of three colored babies, 7 months, 8 months and 3 months old respectively, with their mothers. The Houston Post of Thursday morning, May 22, prints the following report of the case: BLACK BABIES GO TO PRISON Mothers Sentenced to "Pen"—Take Children With Them Three suckling Negro babies passed through Houston Wednesday on their way to the penitentiary. They are charged with no crime, but their mothers, all sisters, two brothers, and their grandfather, were convicted of assault to murder in Foord county last week. They were in charge of Bud Russell, penitentiary agent. The as- THE NEGRO'S PLACE (By Ernest Fremont Tittle) IREMEMBER reading some time ago a statement made by Professor Commons of the University of Wisconsin to the effect that the Teutonic race, until 500 years after Christ, were exceedingly primitive in their civilization, yet had mental qualities which made it possible for them to absorb* the highest Roman civilization. And I was particularly impressed with his assertion that "could their babies have been taken out of the forest 2,000 years ago and transplanted to the homes and schools of modern America, they would have covered in one generation the progress of twenty centuries." Well, you say, that may have been possible in the case of the Teutonic race, but it is by no means possible in the cast of the Negro race. You might say that if you did not know Blooha, Glancing through a pamphlet published by Garrett Biblical Institute, I read with great surprise that the father of one of its students had been a "village warrior." I learned later that this student was a young African named Blooha; and that he had a perfectly fascinating lecture entitled "From Coconut Tree to College"; and that this lecture was the perfectly true story of his own life. For he was, quite literally, up in a coconut tree when he caught sight of the first white man whom either he or any member of his tribe had ever seen; and today is doing post-graduate work in an African theological school. Blooah, a native African, as black as midnight, has actually done what Professor Commons conjectured the babies of the Teutonic race might have done had they been taken out of the forest 2,000 years ago and transplanted to the homes and schools of modern America. He has actually covered in one generation the progress of twenty centuries! How impatient we are with the Negro. Only sixty years out of slavery; yet we expect him to measure up to the very highest standards of white world culture. And because he sometimes fails to do this, we jump to the conclusion that he is an inherently, and therefore permanent, inferior being who may be tolerated only if he "keeps his place." What is the Negro's "place?" The youngest student ever to receive the degree of Ph. D. from the University of Pennsylvania was Harris F. Blackstone, a Negro. In 1922, second on the list of 200 young medical students examined for internships at Cook County hospital was Dr. Walter S. Grant, a Negro. In 1922, as the result of four years of study, Smith College granted both the A.B. and M.A. degrees to Miss sault was made upon Sheriff L. D. Campbell and his deputies when they made an official visit to the farm operated by the Negroes. The brothers, Eugene, 12, and Nathaniel, 14, were sentenced to the reform school. The grandfather, Luke, and the three women, Bertha, Levy and Mandy, were sentenced to the State Farm for from two to three years. The babies are Emma Sue, 7 months old; May Lou, 8 months old, and Bobby Cloud, 3 months old. The entire family gave their surnames as Wells. When the babies are released from the farm they will be husky youngsters. "We ain't done nothin'," one of the women said. "These white folks said that we had to go and they wuz nobody to take the babies so they had to come long, too." The Negroes are said to have fired on the sheriff's force with shotguns. But in spite of this, he gave a letter to the agent directed to penitentiary officials, asking that the family be freed kindly. Eunice Hunton, a Negro. In 1921, the prize for the best French novel for the year was granted to Rene Maran, a Negro. In 1921, the Drama League of America selected as one of ten persons who during the year had contributed most to the art of the theater, Charles S. Gilpin, a Negro. The United States patent office has granted fifty-seven patents to Elijah McCoy, a Negro. And there is Scott, the mural painter; and Tanner, the painter of religious subjects; and Charles W. Chestnut, the novelist; and W. E. Burkhart Dubois, the brilliant savant, and William Stanley of Braithwaite, the widely-read literary critic; and Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the poet whose Lay me down beneaf de willers in de grass. Whah de branch'll go a singin' as it pass, An' wen I's a layin' low, I kin hayeah it as it go, Singin', "Sleep, my honey, tak yo' res' at last". has made the whole world of sensitive spirits his debtor. What, then, is the Negro's "place?" We men and women of the white race have treated the Negro badly enough, God knows. We have laid violent hands upon him and taken him from his home in Africa to serve us as a hewer of wood and a drawer of water in America. We have debauched his women folk and then branded him as unmoral. We have in many instances kept him in ignorance and then pronounced him hopelessly stupid. President Moton of Tuskegee is authority for the statement that for 2,000,000 Negro children in the United States, there are, even yet, no educational-facilities provided. We have treated the Negro badly enough. Has not the time now come for us to give him a fair chance? In his eloquent volume, "The Souls of Folk," Burghardt DuBois says that "Through all the sorrow of the Negro's sorrow songs there breathes a hope, a faith in the ultimate justice of things. . . . Sometimes it is a faith in life. Sometimes a faith in death. Sometimes an assurance of boundless justice in some fair world beyond. But whichever it is, the meaning is always clear—that sometime, somewhere, men will judge men by their souls and not by their skins." Has not the time come for us to judge the Negro by his soul—his demonstrated capacity for cultural achievement—and give him a chance to reveal what his true "place" is in the future of civilization?—Rocky Mountain News. N. A. A. C. P. APPEALS DECISION ALLOWING WASHINGTON, D. C. RESIDENTIAL SEGREGATION New York, June 13.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, today announced that appeal had been taken to the United States Supreme Court from the decision of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, handed down on June 2, affirming a decree of a lower court, which would permit real estate owners to agree among themselves not to set property to colored people, and to insert such agreements into the sale contracts. James A. Cobb, who fought the case for the N. A. A. C. P. in Washington, reports as follows: "The Court of Appeals affirmed the decree of the lower court, to the effect that a covenant entered into by a group of white people forbidding the alienation in any way of their property by themselves, their heirs or assigns to any person of the Negro race or blood for a period of twenty-one years, was not unconstitutional or contrary to public policy. The opinion by the learned justice was disappointing, not only by reason of its holding, but because of the fact that it treated in the most meagre way of the vital issues here involved. "As a matter of fact reference to the opinion will immediately reveal that the court traveled entirely outside of the case as presented for the facts upon which its decision was based; and failed entirely to pass upon or treat of the real issues as given rise to in the briefs and arguments presented in this cause. "An appeal was immediately taken to the Supreme Court of the United States; and as of this date, June 7, that appeal was allowed." In 1915, the N. A. A. C. P. won the Louisville Segregation Case before the U. S. Supreme Court, the decision prohibiting the enactment of any law or ordinance providing for residential segregation in American cities. The Washington, D. C., form of segregation by agreement among property owners threatens to nullify the victory of 1915, and the board of directors of the N. A. A. C. P., recognizing the danger, voted at their meeting of June 9 that the N. A. A. C. P. put all of its power behind the prosecution of the present legal struggle. Colored Leader on Good Will Program Colored Leader on Good Will Program Bishop R. E. Jones Tells of Cooperative Movement in the South "The movement for the promotion of good will, mutual confidence and cooperation between the dominant races in the South is regarded by many as the most significant of its kind since the Emancipation," said Bishop R. E. Jones of New Orleans, eminent colored leader, in his report to the recent General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in session in Springfield, Mass. Expressing pleasure in the opportunity to co-operate in this movement, Bishop Jones gave the following survey of its spirit and work. "We have found in the South a NO.36. group of white men and women who are sincere and courageous in their desire for justice, equity and peace for all men. The movement began as one of our after-the-war necessities. At first faith was small, vision dim, hope uncertain, but the work grew until now out of 1,000 counties in the South, 800 or more are duly organized with joint committees representing both races. There is a central office at Atlanta with Dr. W. W. $ ^{2} $ Alexander, a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, as director. Most of the states have full time interracial secretaries. Some of the states have two secretaries, one white and one colored. "The organization of the Woman's Department of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation has brought to light fine heroism on the part of the women. These women have added strength, dignity and confidence to the commission. There has been opposition in some quarters, misgiving in others, lack of interest in others, but the movement still goes forward with confidence, intelligence, equity and the leadership of Jesus Christ. This ideal of promoting a better understanding on the basis of co-operation and a more adequate appraisal of human values will strengthen our national government and its reaction will be felt throughout the world and redound to the glory of God and the advancement of His Kingdom. "I do not know a better summing up of this movement than was put in a little verse which appeared not long ago in a South African magazine: 'If I knew you and you knew me, If both of us could clearly see, And, with an inner sight, divine The meaning of your heart and mine; I am sure that we would differ less And clasp our hands in friendliness; Our thoughts would pleasantly agree If I knew you and you knew me.'" FIVE NEGRO WORKERS, FIFTY YEARS WITH A. C. L., GET AWARDS Raleigh, N. C.—Fifteen employees of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, who have been with the company over fifty years, have just received presentation pins set with diamonds. The list includes five Negro laborers. "BLUES" WRITER REFERS TO GARVEY: GETS INTO COURT New York City, June 12.—(By A. N.

AFRICANS GIVE OPERETTA Freetown, Cape Colony, June 15.—(By A. N.

The work of the performers was classified as being brilliant. Ulric Coker was conductor. COOLIDGE AND DAWES NAMED Standard Bearers Chosen by the National Republican Convention at Cleveland. IT IS ALL COOLIDGE President's Wishes Are Followed to the Letter—Wisconsin Alone Is Dissenting Voice. THE REPUBLICAN TICKET For President, CALVIN COOLIDGE OF MASSACHUSETTS. For Vice President, CHARLES G. DAWES OF ILLINOIS. By EDWARD W. PICKARD Cleveland, Ohio.—Calvin Coolidge's national convention has been held, and it will go down in political history as the quietest, smoothest, most peaceful affair of the kind ever pulled off in this country, unless one excepts Woodrow Wilson's convention in St. Louis eight years ago. And this gathering of the Republican party really was Mr. Coolidge's convention, here to do just what he wanted done and not to do the things he did not want done. Mr. Coolidge wished to be nominated for President to succeed himself. He was nominated. He wished to have for a running mate a man who could be relied on to hold for the ticket the support of certain elements of the party whose allegiance it was feared was weakening. The name below Coolidge's at the head of this column shows that this wish was complied with so far as the possibilities permitted. Mr. Coolidge selected for temporary chairman of the convention Congressman Theodore E. Burton of Ohio and told that gentleman what his views were on all the mooted public questions of the day—if he did not already know them—and Mr. Burton in his keynote speech faithfully reproduced all those views. Mr. Coolidge chose for permanent chairman Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming, because as vice chairman of the War Finance corporation which has loaned much money to agricultural interests Mr. Mondell might be considered acceptable to the rather disgruntled farmers. So Mr. Mondell presided over the convention after the opening of the second session. Mr. Coolidge had positive opinions concerning the platform on which he would have to stand during the campaign, so out of all the planks fashioned by the numerous interests that sought to have a hand in the building of that platform, were carefully picked the ones that conformed strictly with these opinions, and all the rest were thrown into the discard by the resolutions committee headed by Ambassador Warren, who was Mr. Coolidge's selection for the place of chairman. No reflection on President Coolidge nor on the Republican party is intended in recording this seeming dictation by the Chief Executive. The conditions not only justified it but made it inevitable. The rank and file of the party had, in the selection of instructed delegates, made known its firm intention to nominate Mr. Coolidge, and the political and legislative events of recent months made it evident that his preferences and opinions must be put above all else. Temporary Chairman Burton gave expression to this when he said in his address: "With some disappointment, as one whose public service has been in a legislative position, truth compels me to say that by far the greater share of our citizenship looks to President Coolidge rather than to congress for leadership." The outburst of cheering that greeted this, the first spontaneous applause of the convention, proved that the great mass of the delegates agreed with it. Significant Changes Outside the convention hall, in the rooms where the various state delegations met to organize and name their representatives on the committees, another mandate of the mass of the party was carried out. The old line leaders were relegated to the rear and the management put into new hands. Thus the Massachusetts delegation took its chairmanship away from Senator Lodge and gave it to Governor Cox, and the man who had for so long dictated to the Bay state Republicans was not even put on the platform committee. The efforts of Harry Daugherty's friends in the Ohio delegation to rehabilitate him came to naught when Maurice Maschke was chosen as national committeeman, Senator Willis as chairman of the delegation and Simeon D. Fess was put on the committee on resolutions. So it went, not in all the delegations, but in enough to show that a revolution in party management was under way. Senator Lodge was as suave and smiling as ever, and as tired looking, but his smile had a touch of bitterness, and many another former leader was in the dumps as he saw his power fading away. There was but one discordant ele- ment in the convention—the LaFollette delegation from Wisconsin. All but one of its members were selected to vote for the Badger senator and to present to the platform committee the planks representing his views. Their action of course was known far in advance and so was discounted, but to some of the members of the party it was no less ominous. They got into action early with a set of resolutions of which the following is a synopsis: Housecleaning pledged. Monoply—crush, not foster. Recover oil preserves. Vigorous prosecution of grafters. Revise public domain legislation. Public ownership of water power. Super water power systems. Public control and conservation of natural resources. Repeal Esch-Cummins law. Make rates on prudent investment and cost of service. Railroads—public ownership, final solution. Reduce federal taxes. Curtall the 800 millions now spent annually for the army and navy. Recover war stealings. Collect foreign loan interest. Oppose Mellon tax plan. Amend Constitution to permit a re-enactment to supersede a judicial veto. Reduce tariff. Promote co-operation between producers and consumers. Reduce freight rates for farmers. Abolish injunctions in labor disputes. Grant cash bonus to ex-soldiers. Provide Great Lakes waterway. Amend Constitution to provide for direct nomination and election of President, federal initiative and referendum and referendum on war. Revise Versailles treaty to comply with terms of armistice, promote treaties to outlaw war, abolish conscription, reduce armaments and guarantee referendums on peace and war. There were some other planks, but these are enough to indicate the kind of a platform Senator LaFollette demanded. He and everyone else knew they would be turned down by the committee and rejected by the convention. so no one was surprised or shocked when that was done. But upon such a platform, it was assumed, LaFollette would stand as an independent candidate for the Presidency. What would be the effect of his candidacy was naturally a fruitful topic of discussion among the delegates and other visitors. Many Women Delegates Women were prepared to play a conspicuous part in the convention. There were more than 600 delegates and alternates of the gentler sex, nearly every state giving them place in its delegation. Even far away Hawaii sent one—Princess David Kawananakoa—and she was made an associate member of the national committee. In social usage she retains her title, but she is said to be thoroughly one of the people and a power among the Republican voters of the islands. Temporary Chairman Burton overlooked the women when he wrote his address and had the advance copies printed, but he noticed the omission and interpolated a graceful paragraph warmly welcoming them to the party's councils. They were ready to do their share of the work, but really there was nothing much for them to do. It had all been arranged beforehand, and some of them were a bit peeved. They had a lot of pet ideas, but only a few of them, notably Mrs. A. T. Hert of Kentucky, were seriously consulted by the men who formulated the program. Mrs. Medill McCormick, wife of the senator from Chicago, said: "They have steam rolled the whole thing nicely. Those who are going to be elected have everything to say about the convention and the appointments and activities, and those who are elected and hold party office have nothing to say and can only go back home and work for the campaign." This was largely true at the time it was said, but a few hours later the men gave their sense of fair play a chance and accorded to the women equal participation in party management by giving them full membership on the national committee. Five of the most prominent of the ladies went before the committee on rules and order of business and pleaded that the example set by the Democrats four years ago should be followed. Two or three of the men were obstinate, but the majority of the committee yielded and their report on this matter was adopted by the convention with nearly every woman in the hall standing and shouting as loud as she could. Another thing this committee did, which also was approved by the convention, was to reduce the delegate representation of the southern states which always go Democratic. The convention of 1920 directed the national committee to work this reform, but it had refused to obey. In this convention there was no outspoken opposition to the change. To make it more binding, an additional member of the national committee was given to each states that exceeds a given Republican vote in the last preceding national election. Genuine Enthusiasm To tell in detail the story of the convention would be superfluous; to read it would be tedious. But it had its high lights and interesting phases. Regular attendants on such gatherings always are on the lookout for "ovations" and outbursts of enthusiasm frequently are suspicious of the genuineness of such demonstrations. The first session, however, witnessed several that were undoubtedly genuine. The first came toward the close of Temporary Chairman Burton's speech when he first mentioned President Coolidge by name. And it really wasn't so much the mention of the SCHCAVER CALVIN COOLIDGE name that evoked loud and long cheering as what Mr. Burton said. This was it: "With some disappointment, as one whose public service has been in a legislative position, truth compels me to say that by far the greater share of our citizenship looks to President Coolidge rather than to congress for leadership." All over the great public hall delegates and spectators rose to their feet to applaud this statement, and even many of the senators and representatives who have set themselves in opposition to the President over and over again joined in the band-clapping. Another demonstration that seemed real was the ovation given Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon. During the formalities of completing the temporary organization he rose from the midst of the Pennsylvania delegation to make a trifling motion. At once the convention burst into almost wild cheering and the secretary was compelled to mount to the platform and acknowledge it. The man who runs the country's finances might well feel flattered by the reception given him. Just after this incident a bit of real sentiment was injected into the proceedings. The chair announced that there was present the sole surviving member of the Republican convention that nominated Abraham Lincoln for the Presidency—Addison G. Proctor of St. Joseph, Mich. The venerable gentleman was led to the front and the cheering host arose to greet him, and listened with respect to his brief response. That Congressman Burton in his keynote speech accomplished with great skill a difficult task was admitted by all. He could not entirely overlook the breach that has existed between the administration and congress, nor could he be too emphatic in placing the blame for it. But he recognized the change that was coming over the party management and gave the President full measure of praise. At the same time he said little that could offend the most sensitive of those Republican members of congress who have been in opposition to the administration's polices. Nominating Coolidge An easier task and no less admirably performed was that which fell to the lot of the other Burton—Marlon Leroy, president of the University of Michigan. As his friends of many years' standing he was chosen by Mr. Coolidge to make the nominating speech on Thursday, and no more eloquent and sincere speech has been heard in a national convention. It was not flowery nor was it political. It was a sympathetic setting forth of the qualities of Mr. Coolidge as the speaker conceived them, a heartfelt tribute to his character, his stern uprightness and honesty, his unfaltering courage and his capacity for the leadership of his party and his country. "My function is to present the man," said Dr. Burton. "The emphasis must be just there. My primary task does not concern politics nor platforms as such. Anyone will tell you he is 'one of us' and he is. In keeping with his real qualities I shall make no effort to exalt him for he does not need It. He is not a superman and would be the last to think so. There is not a trace of show or ostentation about him for he does nothing merely for appearance. He may be an example but he would never set one." A little later Dr. Burton said: "He has moral fibre. To me it is his distinguishing characteristic. There is a moral grandeur about him which does credit to American life. You simply cannot think of him as soft or flabby. He aims actually to do what he knows he ought to do." And again: "In the largest sense of the term he is a patient man. He knows that time will do its perfect work. He instinctively takes the long look. He makes a calm, unhurried, steady approach to the tasks of life. No one can throw him into a panic, for he sees steadily and sees it as a whole. He cannot please every one. Therefore some, for the time, become hostile and critical. This man, in a very remarkable way, takes his punishment quietly and silently." Continuing, Doctor Burton said, In part: "At times he must oppose what appears to some as an unqualified good, because he recognizes its temporary benefits and sees in the distant future that it must work an evil to society. Through all such experiences he walks with the spirit of human understanding. He knows that time will heal the hurt. His sense of time explains the thoroughness of his work and his intolerance for superficiality. He must have the facts as first hand and will not base decisions on a partial knowledge of the situation. He will not be hurried. He avoids extremes and loves proportion. Life does not consist of detached unrelated events. It is a unity welded together by the alchemy of time. He knows how to wait and not be tired by waiting. When he acts you know he will not be impetuous, because he takes time to think to the soul of things. Democracy, in her careless blundering confidence, is in dire need of such leadership. "Has he a sense of humor? Emphatically yes. It is not the type that wastes time in recounting incidents of ever increasing triteness. There is an alertness about his mind and a nimbleness of his spirit which are very attractive. These qualities do not express themselves in just the ordinary forms. At times you might imagine he had not even heard what was being said. Then he drops a remark which makes you realize that he has taken several steps in advance and has put his finger on the real point. He is not given to bilarity. His humor is dry and delightful and its expression as a rule is just as sententious as his more serious utterances. "Beneath the characteristics we have mentioned lies something which one naturally hesitates to drag out into the light. There are some things too sacred for public parade, even though a man belongs to the people. When you find a man, however, with qualities such as we have sketched, you inevitably ask for the secret. What is the dynamic back of this moral fiber, this bitter self control, this sense of the value of things, this instructive understanding of work, this quiet patience with the ages? "It is his sense of the spiritual. No one can read his speeches without realizing that to him religion is essential to life. I am speaking in the broadest and most comprehensive terms. I am not discussing theology but religion. There are at least a few fundamental spiritual realities which are the common possession of men. He firmly believes religion to be necessary to the ideals of America. "He asserts that 'most of all there is need of religion. From that source alone came freedom. Nothing else touches the soul of man. Nothing else justifies faith in the people.' Toleration in religion is among our most notable achievements in this country. The vital realities of religion alone can satisfy the deepest needs of the human spirit. It is reassuring to know that this man believes in a personal power greater than man; in emergencies, with Washington and Lincoln, he will know that the issue lies in another hand. "What America must learn is precisely what this man is saying so clearly and forcefully. It has a ring to it which will permeate the world. He has been successful in politics, because he has been simply and unanswerably honest. The hardest thing in the world to defeat is sheer character. Some American politicians still have a great lesson to learn. The first PRINCIPAL POINTS IN G. O. P. PLATFORM mark of a public servant is not solely the desire to know what the people want, but the purpose to help the people want what they ought to have. "It is not too much to affirm that the people of the United States have intense longings which they do not entirely understand and which by the very terms of the problem they cannot focus and express. I believe this man does comprehend these intense yearnings of the people and that quietly and persistently he is putting them forth in sharp, inclusive utterances. Rated as "Conservative" Rated as "Conservative" In America we have the curious practice of classifying men. We attempt to put labels on them and imagine that thereby we have settled something. We have unusual facility in this method because we rarely pause to agree on any definition of the terms. "As a matter of fact it is not the meaning of the term that gives us concern. It is the implication it carries, its flavor or its color. We say a man is a conservative, a liberal or a radical and for us the term carries praise or approbrium, depending entirely upon our own point of view. Now, this man's Americanism comes to lofty expression in what some have praised and others have criticized as his 'conservatism.' Let us examine the actual facts. "He uses the past for the future. He is no mere worshiper of the past as the past. It has meaning chiefly as a guide for the future. He recognizes clearly the evils of dead, congealed, conservatisms. His emphasis is on the days to come. He is concerned chiefly about our tendencies. Therefore, he says, 'We review the past, not in order that we may return to it, but that we may find in what direction, straight and clear, it points in the future. His is a sane forward-looking conservatism. "He does not concede that the present clamor for change proves that our national principles are false or that our governmental organization is weak. Changes must come. Every sane person recognizes that. The real question concerns the causes of our discontent and the sources of our evil. Immediately to destroy existing institutions, because human frailties continue to exist and human nature is not speedily reformed, is scarcely to be called wise leadership. To destroy is easy, but to achieve freedom is hard. "In fact, he holds that there are genuine grounds for optimism. It is easy to complain and to overlook the great blessings of life. After all is said and done, America, more than any other country in the world today, offers real privileges and opportunities. He knows that progress will require hard unrelenting toil. To him a better future means continuous struggle and presents a constant challenge. He is no day dreamer, for he knows the stern realities of a work-a-day world. We cannot legislate mankind into a state of perfection. Here is Dr. Burton's closing paragraph, which was the signal for a mighty outburst of cheering that lasted for many minutes: "As self-respecting individuals, we can trust this man. As lovers of America we can follow one who is supremely American. As citizens with interests as broad as humanity we can accept his guidance into a new and larger world leadership because he is at heart a human being. To the national convention of the greatest party in American history, I have the distinction to present as candidate to succeed himself as President of the United States of America, the virile man—the staunch American—the real human being—Calvin Coolidge." The first ballot for vice president showed Lowden in the lead, with Burton, Dawes, Hoover and Kenyon "following closely. On the second ballot the convention turned to Lowden and he was unanimously nominated. In a telegram to the convention the former governor of Illinois absolutely refused to accept the nomination. After a three-hour recess another ballot was taken and before it was finished Dawes was so far in the lead over Hoover that the nomination was made unanimous amid the wildest enthusiasm. So, with the swift nomination of Coolidge on the first ballot and the naming of his running mate, after a few remaining formalities the national Republican convention of 1924 passed into history. The Convention City Too much cannot be said in praise of the way in which the city of Cleveland did its part in making the convention pleasant and successful. First and most important, it provided Public hall, the finest place in which a national convention has ever been privileged to meet excepting that in which the Democrats gathered in San Fran- Republican stand for agreement among nations to prevent war reaffirmed. Permanent court of international justice indorsed. Refusal to assume any obligation under League of Nations reaffirmed. Rigid curtailment of government expenses demanded.

Pledges to bring back balanced condition between agriculture, commerce and labor. clisco in 1910. Public hall cost the people of Cleveland $6,300,000 and is located in the heart of the downtown district, convenient to the hotels. Its architecture is beautiful and it seats 16,000 persons. Within its walls are all the conveniences that the builders could think of, and its stage is the largest in the country. Then there are the hotels, ample in number and well conducted. Their managers looked after the comfort of the city's guests in every possible way and, what is more to the point, rates were kept well within reason. Cleveland seems to have more automobiles than any other city in the world in comparison with the population, but the able and well-trained traffic police protected the life and limb of the convention visitor in a way that elicited the admiration of all. No one was permitted to get himself run over, whether or not he wished to do so. Local committees, social organizations and individuals arranged programs of entertainment to fill up the hours when the convention was not in session, and many of the men and women visitors were accommodated by the various golf clubs. There were theater parties, boat rides, band concerts, fireworks and other things galore. Special teas and receptions were given for the woman, and a program for colored visitors was provided. The matter of providing excitement was up to the representatives of the party, who had none to provide. The crowds in the hotel lobbies, when they were not occupied in the discussion of that elusive subject, the vice presidential candidate, gossiped with old and new acquaintances and amused themselves by picking out from the passing MOFFETT CHARLES G. DAWES throng the notables. They had not trouble in recognizing the dome-like head of Secretary of War Weeks, nor the bronze face of Bascom Slemp, secretary to President Coolidge; the genial homelliness of Joseph B. Kearing of Indiana and the Lincoln-like physiognomy of Lawrence Y. Sherman of Indiana could not be mistaken. Young Theodore Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, aroused mild interest as he wriggled through the crowds, but eyes did not follow him as they did his father. Always in a national convention the music is an attractive feature, and this Cleveland gathering was no exception. The big brass band in the hall was led by John Philip Sousa himself, and every American knows what that means. In the hall is a magnificent pipe organ, which was magnificently played at frequent intervals. The flood lights of the hall, "plain and colored," were used with discretion and art during the playing of the National Anthem and other patriotic airs. From Column bus came a large Republican glee club, which sang not only in the convention hall but at the Coolidge headquarters of the women and elsewhere. Humorous writers of wide reputation have become an established part of these national party meetings, and they were more numerous in Cleveland than ever before, and perhaps less humorous. Will Rogers, Heywood Broun, Ring Lardner and a score more were here looking for material for jokes. Tarliff act of 1922 indorsed Tariff act of 1922 indorsed. Government control of business opposed.

The top of an old drop-leaf table and the wheels from a discarded baby carriage were the most important parts of a home-made tea wagon evolved by a woman living in Chesterfield county, Virginia. Possessed of more imagination and ingenuity than spare money, this woman made a very convenient, time and step-saving piece of furniture which also looks well whenever she uses it. In fine weather, when she wishes to enjoy breakfast, lunch or tea on the porch, she has only to wheel her tea cart a short distance from the kitchen and she can turn her back on the scene of her daily tasks. The work was done as a part of the county kitchen improvement contest in which she took part, under the direction of extension workers co-operatively directed by the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and the United States Department of Agriculture. MAKING JELLIES OF ATTRACTIVE FLAVOR Pectin Extracts Help Various Kinds of Fruit. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Experience has taught the jellymaker that certain fruits are not commonly considered suitable for jelly-making, owing to their low pectin content. By the use of pectin extracts, however, attractive jellies of good flavor can be secured from such fruits as strawberries, rhubarb, ripe red and black raspberries, fresh or canned pineapples, peaches and cherries. Pectin extract may be bought or made at home from apples or citrus peel. Directions for preparing it are given in Department Circular 254, which may be obtained free by writing to the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington. The following recipe for making a good jelly from rhubarb is given in this circular: Rhubarb Jelly With Added Pectin and Acid. 1 cupful rhubarb 1 cupful rhubarb juice. lemon pectin. 1¼ cupfuls sugar This jelly is best when made from very young, tender and succulent rhubarb of mild flavor and with very little green color, since the green tissue is likely to darken in cooking. The jelly should have an acid but otherwise mild flavor, and a bright, red color. If made with lemon pectin it should be clear and transparent; if made with apple pectin the color and appearance may not be so attractive, though the flavor and texture should be fairly good. The flavor of old rhubarb is apt to be strong; when it is to be used, the addition of one or two pieces of lemon or orange peel to the stems as they cook may perhaps be considered an improvement. Wash and trim stalks of rhubarb, being careful not to remove the pink skin. The addition of extra skin improves the color of the juice. Cut into half-inch pieces and place in a granite pan. Add one cupful of water for each pound of rhubarb. Cook until tender, then strain through four thicknesses of cheesecloth. There should be about one and one-quarter cupfuls of juice for each pound of rhubarb. Add other ingredients to the juice in the proportions indicated above, and boll. The ordinary jelly test cannot always be depended upon in the case of rhubarb, particularly if the stalks are not very young and tender, because there are certain gummy substances present which cause the hot juice to sheet from the edge of the spoon, but which do not assist in making a jelly. It is therefore wise to cook somewhat beyond the usual test. Twice-Baked Bread and Milk Toast for Children Bread cut or torn into small pieces and heated in a very slow oven until thoroughly dried and very delicately browned is good food for children. The warming oven of a coal灶 is about hot enough for this purpose. In the case of gas ovens it is often difficult to get gas low enough without having the door open a little way. The advantage of tearing instead of cutting the bread is that it makes it lighter in texture and easier to eat. The crust can be torn off from all but the ends of a loaf of bread in one piece. This crust should be torn into pieces about two inches wide. The inside of an ordinary loaf of bread will make sixteen pieces of convenient size. Tear first across the loaf and then tear half into eight pieces. It is usually necessary to make a small cut in order to start the tearing. It is well to keep the crusts separate, as otherwise they are likely to get too brown. Such bread will need to be reheated before being served unless it is kept in a warm place, like a warming oven. and the wheels from a discarded baby sets of a home-made tea wagon evolved county, Virginia.

In place of the pastry crust for meat pies, a mashed potato crust is sometimes a pleasant change. This makes an attractive way of serving meat and potatoes together instead of as two separate dishes, the United States De- A Shepherd's Pie. partment of Agriculture points out. This is often called a "shepherd's pie." To make it, line a dish around the sides with mashed potatoes prepared as for the table, then fill with minced lamb, veal or any other left-over meat, well seasoned and mixed with a little gravy. Cover the top with mashed potatoes and criss-cross with a knife. Put in oven and heat until hot through and well browned on top. Leftovers of Perishable Foods in Warm Weather Moist cooked foods, especially those made with protein-rich materials, such as milk, eggs, meat, or fish, are excellent breeding places for harmful micro-organisms, including those that cause serious poisoning without making the food smell or taste spoiled. Leftovers of meat plies, dishes made with cream sauce, gravies, custards, bottled or cream salad dressing must be carefully handled and should be used promptly. Bolled rice, hominy, and other cereals also spoil quickly. In general, left-over foods should be transferred promptly from the dishes in which they were served to separate, clean, dry, covered dishes, chilled as quickly as possible, and kept in the cold storeroom or the refrigerator. The United States Department of Agriculture, in a new Farmers' Bulletin, 1374, Care of Food in the Home, advises housekeepers especially against serving leftovers of perishable foods in hot weather without first boiling them. "Warming up" such foods is not enough; it may even increase the danger of raising the temperature to a point favorable to the growth of micro-organisms, but not high enough to destroy them. Such leftovers served as "cold victuals" are not only unappetizing, but may be unsafe as well. "Shish Kebab" Is Easy to Prepare on Skewer Parts of the shoulder, in the fore-quarter of lamb, are fully as tender as other cuts, but less shapely than the leg to carve and serve. The meat close to the shoulder blade and where the "eye" of the rib chops can be traced toward the neck will furnish tender cubes of meat which can be run on skewers and broiled or pan-broiled in the same way as chops, while the less tender pieces in the shoulder or forequarter may be chopped up and stewed. In Armenian restaurants lamb broiled on meat skewers in this way is called "shish kebab." A little onion juice is sometimes squeezed over the meat just before cooking it. Salt and pepper are added when the broiled skewers of meat are served. Meat can be cooked out of doors in this way, using long sticks instead of skewers, suggests the United States Department of Agriculture. The KITCHEN CABINET Where fresh fish are obtainable the following dish will be enjoyed: Fish Pudding.—Cook one cupful of rice in boiling water until tender, drain and pour through it enough cold water to separate the grains. Cook two pounds of pickerel, bass or other fresh fish, until well done, cooking by steam in a steamer or tie in a cloth and drop into boiling water. Flake the fish after removing all the bones and skin. Combine the rice and fish, add two well-beaten eggs, one cupful of fish stock and the same of milk. Season with two teaspoonfuls of salt, one-half teaspoonful of pepper, two tablespoonfuls of butter, using the seasonings between the layers of the fish and rice. Bake one-half hour and serve hot with drawn butter sauce. Boiled Fish With Butter Sauce.—Drop the fish well-dressed, tied in a cheese cloth, into boiling water and cook at the simmering temperature until tender. Use onion, bay leaf or parsley in the simmering water. Drain the fish and serve with a rich white sauce to which the juice of a large lemon has been added and a tablespoonful of butter with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot or cold with the fish. Stuffed Fish.—For a three-pound fish, fry one minced onion with two ounces of diced bacon and a large tomato peeled and chopped. Add two tablespoonfuls of butter, one cupful of bread crumbs, three-fourths of a teaspoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of pepper, one tablespoonful of parsley, three tablespoonfuls of water to moisten the crumbs, or soak them and squeeze dry. Mix well and stuff the fish which has been well-salted and peppered inside and out. Sew up and bake, basting with butter and water during the baking. Fish Salad.—To one cupful of cold, cooked fish add the same amount of chopped cabbage and celery, season well and serve with a good boiled dressing on lettuce. Salmon makes a delicious salad; add chopped pickle and a half-cupful of fresh grated coconut and the usual salad dressing; serve on head lettuce and garnish with white of egg cut into fancy shapes. When cooking asparagus try the stalks with the thumb nail; if tender and easily penetrated it will cook quickly; the tougher portions should be cut off and cooked first, then remove them and add the tender portions; this saves all flavor. If one likes the asparagus served without cutting into bits, tie up and cook in the bunch. Then serve three or four stalks with butter sauce on toast. Fried Chicken.—Prepare a chicken by cutting it into serving pieces, then marinate for three hours in one part of lemon juice to three of olive oil, with such herbs and seasonings as one desires. Drain and dip each piece in beaten egg, season well with salt and pepper and fry in deep fat. Drain, place on a platter and pour round it a sauce prepared with a cupful each of milk and veal stock, thickened with egg yolk, and seasoned with minced parsley, mushrooms and a little lemon juice. Raspberry Whip.—Take one cupful of canned raspberries, two to four tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, one half pint of cream and two egg whites. Whip the cream, then the egg, and combine the two. Stir in the raspberries and the sugar. The fresh berries are best, but canned will do. Mash the fresh berries and mix with an equal amount of sugar. Caramel Sponge.—Soften one-fourth of a package of gelatin in one-fourth of a cupful of water, brown one-half cupful of sugar, add one cupful of boiling water, stir until dissolved, add the gelatin and stir over ice water until thick. Have ready two egg whites beaten stiff, add them to the gelatin mixture, continue beating until stiff. Turn into a mold and serve with thin cream. Club Salad.—Take one and one-half cupfuls of cooked chicken, twelve slices of bacon, three tomatoes and a bunch of lettuce. Arrange the lettuce on individual plates, place on each a peeled tomato, a little diced cooked bacon and some mayonnaise dressing, top with some of the chicken, more mayonnaise and a sprig of parsley. Around the dish arrange toast points spoke fashion, using four or six. Cherry Betty.—Take fresh ripe cherries and well-buttered crumbs; put a layer of cherries, then of sugar and crumbs; repeat until the dish is full. Bake until the cherries are well done Serve with a hard sauce. Nellie Maxwell (©, 1924, Western Newspaper Union.)

The following is a great favorite on the farm: STAR PITCHER Oatmeal Drink. —Take one-quarter of a pound of oatmeal, one cupful of sugar and the strained juice of two lemons. Add one-half cupful of boiling water to the oatmeal, mix with the other ingredients and pour into a gallon of boiling water, stir well, put through a sieve and chill before serving. Tea Punch.—Prepare four cupfuls of strong tea, let it cool, then add one pineapple cut in bits, one pound of cooked cherries, the juice of six lemons, one cupful of sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, add one quart of carbonated water, a pint at a time. Serve with a sprig of mint and chopped ice. Chocolate Sirup.—This will keep until used if kept in the ice chest. Take three squares of chocolate, one ounce of cocoa, one and one-half pounds of sugar, a pint of water and one and one-half teaspoonfuls of vanilla. Boil the cocoa in one-half cupful of water in a double boiler, grate the chocolate and mix with one-third measure of sugar; add this to the cocoa after cooking ten minutes, stir constantly, adding the remainder of the sugar and cook ten minutes. Remove from the fire, strain and cool and add the vanilla. Add a tablespoonful of the sirup to cold milk or ice water; top with a spoonful of whipped cream or a marshmallow. Fruit Punch.—Boll together for ten minutes three cupfuls of sugar, two cupfuls of water, with the rind of one lemon and one orange. Strain and while hot, add one glass of currant jelly. Set on ice and when ready to serve add the juice of nine lemons, five oranges, one cupful each of cherries and shredded pineapple. Pour into a punch bowl, add ice and water, adding a pint of charged water at a time to give it sparkle. Boston Cream—Take three quarts of water and one and one-half pounds of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of lemon extract, two ounces of tartartic acid, and the whites of two eggs. Boil the water and allow it to get cold, then stir in the other ingredients, beating the whites stiff. Mix well and pour into bottles and keep in the ice chest. When serving put in a pinch of soda in a glass, half-fill the glass with ice and fill with the cream. Drink at once. Help one another, the dewdrop erred.

ABOUT UNCOOKED FOODS The raw faddist didn't know why raw food seemed to be so healthful; but he knew he could cure anything that flesh was heir to with raw foods. Today we know that many raw foods, such as greens of all but he knew he could cure anything that flesh was heir to with raw foods. Today we know that many raw foods, such as greens of all kinds, cabbage, carrots and turnips contain life-giving substances called vitamines, which are (if eaten uncooked, not lost in the water of cooking or destroyed by heat) most valuable in keeping the body in good health. One doesn't object to raw cabbage, carrots, lettuce, water cress and an occasional turnip, but one hesitates to eat uncooked beets or potatoes; in fact, they will need to be well-masked in good rich salad dressing to be very popular with the masses. Another point which the raw food supporters will tell us is we all eat too much, which we know, and that, when eating raw foods, one feels satisfied with a much smaller amount of food. Thus we may save food and money by being a raw food eater. We are told also that every bit of such food is assimilated; you find yourself feeling good after the meal, brain clear, wits nimble, and when retiring time comes, sleep like the proverbial log. There is really something worth while in this; it is at least worth a trivial. Cabbage Salad.—Take a hard, crisp head of cabbage, chop fine—or better, shred very fine; add salt and a few spoonfuls of sugar, a generous amount of thick, sweet cream to molsten. a dash of vinegar; mix well, and enjoy a most appetizing salad. A dessert of a handful of dates and nuts will be easy to prepare and serve, and to the busy housewife who has everything to do—a great comfort. These foods are no more expensive, when time and material are counted, than many of the so-called simple desserts. Nellie Maxwell T. G.

Holmes, Sr, 2139 Curtis street, two of the most worthy citizens and mem- bers of our race to be found in Den- ver. . ‘The standing of Mr. and Ms. Holmes in the community is of such high merit that no possible excuse can be offered for such a blunder and the natural presumption is that political jobbery was back of the move. There should be no hesitancy on the part of self-respecting Negro citizens In re- senting any such insult to our group ‘even though it may come from the city ‘hall, for if the home of Mr. and Mrs. ‘Clarence Holmes may be entered with ‘impunity and upon faked letters of “anonymous import, then no Negro in | Denver Is safe.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM Cleveland.—The following is the text of the Republican platform as adopted by the convention: "We, the delegates of the Republican party in national convention assembled, bow our head in reverent memory of Warren G. Harding. "A staunch Republican, he was first of all a true patriot, who gave unstintingly of himself during a trying and critical period of our national life. "His conception and successful direction of the limitation of armaments conference in Washington was an achievement which advanced the world along the path toward peace. "As delegates of the Republican party, we share in the national thanksgiving that in the great emergency created by the death of our great leader there stood forth fully equipped to be his successor one whom we had nominated as vice president - Calvin Coolidge - who as vice president and President, by his every act has justified the faith and confidence which he has won from the nation. Financial Chaos Inherited. "When the Republican administration took control of the government in 1921, there were 4,500,000 unemployed; industry and commerce were stagnant; agriculture was prostrate; business was depressed; government bonds were selling below their par values. "Pence was delayed; misunderstanding and friction characterized our relations abroad. There was a lack of faith in the administration of government resulting in a growing feeling of distrust in the very principles on which our institutions are founded. "Today industry and commerce are active; public and private credits are sound, we have made peace; we have taken the first step toward disarmament and strengthened our friendship with the world powers; our relations with the rest of the world are on a firmer basis, our position was never better understood, our foreign policy never more definite and consistent. The tasks to which we have put our hands are completed. "Time has been too short for the correction of all the ills we received as a heritage from the last Democratic administration, and the notable accomplishments under Republican rule warrant us in appealing to the country with entire confidence. "We demand and the people of the United States have a right to demand rigid economy in government. FINANCE AND TAXATION "We believe that the achievement of the Republican administration in reducing taxation by $1,250,000,000 per annum; reducing of the public debt by $2,432,000,000; installing a budget system; reducing the public expenditures from $5,500,000,000 per annum to approximately $3,400,000,000 per annum, thus reducing the ordinary expenditures of the government to substantially a prewar basis; and the complete restoration of public credit; the payment or refunding of $7,500,000,000 of public obligations without disturbance of credit or industry—all during the short period of three years—presents a record unsurpassed in the history of public finance. "The assessment of taxes wisely and scientifically collected and the efficient and economical expenditure of the money received by the government are essential to the prosperity of our nation. Carelessness in levying taxes inevitably breeds extravagance in expenditures. Demand Sound Policy. "The wisest of taxation rests most lightly on the individual and economic life of the country. The public demand for a sound tax policy is insistent. "Progressive tax reduction should be accomplished through tax reform. It should not be confined to less than 4,000,000 of our citizens who pay direct taxes, but is the right of the more than 100,000,000 who are daily paying their taxes through their living expenses. Congress has in the main confined its work to tax reduction. The matter of tax reform is still unsettled and is equally essential. "We pledge ourselves to the progressive reduction of taxes of all the people as rapidly as may be done with due regard for the essential expenditures of the government administered with rigid economy, and to place our tax system on a sound peace time basis. "We indorse the plan of President Coolidge to call in November a national conference of federal and state officials for the development of the effective methods of lightening the tax burden of our citizens and adjusting questions of taxation as between national and state governments. Reorganizing U. S. Bureaus. "We favor a comprehensive reorganization of the executive departments and bureaus along the line of the plan recently submitted by a joint committee of the congress, which has the unqualified support of President Coolidge. "The improvement in the enforcement of the merit system both by legislative enactment and Executive action since March 4, 1921, has been marked and effective. By Executive order the appointment of Presidential postmasters has been placed on the merit basis similar to that applying to the classified service. "We favor the classification of post- masters in first, second and third class postoffices, and the placing of the prohibition field forces within the classified civil service without necessarily incorporating the present personnel. FOREIGN RELATIONS "The Republican party reaffirms its stand for agreement among the nations to prevent war and preserve peace. As an important step in this direction we indorse the Permanent Court of International Justice and favor the adherence of the United States to this tribunal, as recommended by President Coolidge. This government has definitely refused membership in the League of Nations and to assume any obligations under the covenant of the league. On this we stand. "While we are unwilling to enter into political commitments which would involve us in the conflict of European policies it should be the purpose and high privilege of the United States to continue to co-operate with other nations in humanitarian efforts in accordance with our cherished traditions. The basic principles of our foreign policy must be independence without indifference to the rights and necessities of others and co-operation without entangling alliances. Judgment Is Vindicated. "This policy, overwhelmingly approved by the people, has been vindicated since the end of the great war. America's participation in world affairs under the administration of President Harding and President Coolidge has demonstrated the wisdom and prudence of the national judgment. A most impressive example of the capacity of the United States to serve the cause of world peace without political affiliations was shown in the effective and beneficient work of the Dawes commission towards the solution of the perplexing question of German reparations. "The first conference of great powers in Washington called by President Harding accomplished the limitation of armaments and the readjustment of the relations of the powers interested in the Far East. "We firmly advocate the calling of a conference on the limitation of land forces, the use of submarines and poison gas, as proposed by President Coolidge, when, through the adoption of a permanent reparations plan, the conditions in Europe will make negotiations and co-operation opportune and possible. "By treaties of peace, safeguarding our rights and without derrogating those of our former associates in arms, the Republican administration ended the war between this country and Germany and Austria. We have concluded and signed with other nations during the last three years more than 50 treaties and international agreements in the furtherance of peace and good will. Latin-American Affairs. "New sanctions and new proofs of permanent accord have marked our relations with all Latin-America. The long standing controversy between Chile and Peru has been advanced toward settlement by its submission to the President of the United States as arbitrator, and with the helpful cooperation of this country a treaty has been signed by the representatives of 16 American republics which will stabilize conditions on the American continent and minimize the opportunities for war. "Our difficulties with Mexico have happily yielded to a most friendly adjustment. Succor to Russia and Japan "Our policy, now well defined, of giving practical aid to other peoples without assuming political obligations has been conspicuously demonstrated. FOREIGN DEBTS "In fulfillment of our solemn pledge in the national platform of 1920, we have steadfastly refused to consider the cancellation of foreign debts. Our attitude has not been that of an oppressive creditor seeking immediate return and ignoring existing financial conditions, but has been based on the conviction that a moral obligation such as was incurred should not be disregarded. "We stand for settlements with all debtor countries similar in character to our debt agreement with Great Britain. That settlement, achieved under a Republican administration, was the greatest international financial transaction in history. Under the agreement the United States now receives an annual return on $4,000,000,000 owing to us by Great Britain, with a definite obligation of ultimate payment in full. "The justness of the basis employed has been formally recognized by other debtor nations. "Great nations cannot recognize or admit the principles of repudiation. To do so would undermine the integrity essential for international trade, commerce, and credit. Thirty-five per cent of the total foreign debt is now in process of liquidation. THE TARIFE "We reaffirm our belief in the protective tariff to extend needed protection to our productive industries. We believe in protection as a national policy, with due and equal regard to all sections and to agriculture, industries and occupations. It is only by adherence to such a policy that the well being of consumers can be safeguarded, that there can be assured to American agriculture, to American labor, to American manufacturers a return to perpetuate American standards of life. "A protective tariff is designed to support the high American economy level of life for the average family and to prevent a lowering to the levels of economic life prevailing in other lands. "It is the history of the nation that the protective tariff system has ever justified itself by restoring confidence, promoting industrial activity and employment, enormously increasing our purchasing power, and bringing increased prosperity to all our people. Raises Standard of Living "The tariff protection to our industry works for increased consumption of domestic agricultural products by an employed population instead of one unable to purchase the necessities of life. Without the strict maintenance of the tariff principle our farmers will need always to compete with cheap lands and cheap labor abroad and with lower standards of living. "The enormous value of the protective principle has once more been demonstrated by the emergency tariff act of 1921 and the tariff act of 1922. "We assert our belief in the elastic provision adopted by congress in the tariff act of 1922, providing for a method of readjusting the tariff rates and the classifications in order to meet changing economic conditions when such changed conditions are brought to the attention of the President by complaint or application. AGRICULTURE "In dealing with agriculture the Republican party recognizes that we are faced with a fundamental national problem, and that the prosperity and welfare of the nation as a whole is dependent on the prosperity and welfare of our agricultural population. "We recognize our agricultural activities are still struggling with adverse conditions that have brought about distress. We pledge the party to take whatever steps are necessary to bring back a balanced condition between agriculture, industry and labor, which was destroyed by the Democratic party through an unfortunate administration of legislation passed as war time measures. "We affirm that under the Republican administration the problems of the farmer have received more serious consideration than ever before both by definite Executive action and by congressional action not only in the field of general legislation but also in the enactment of laws to meet emergency situations. More Being Consumed Now. "The restoration of general prosperity and the purchasing power of our people through tariff protection has resulted in an increased domestic consumption of food products while the price of many agricultural commodities is above the war price level by reason of direct tariff protection. "Under the leadership of the President at the most critical time, a corporation was organized by private capital making available $100,000,000 to assist the farmers of the Northwest. "In realization of the disturbance in the agricultural export market, the result of the financial depression in Europe, and appreciating that the export field would be enormously improved by economic rehabilitation and the resulting increased consuming power, a sympathetic support and direction was given to the work of the American representatives on the European reparations commission. "The revival in 1921 of the War Finance corporation, with loans of over $300,000,000 averted in 1921, a complete collapse in the agricultural industry. Financial Help Provided. "We have established new intermediate credit banks for agriculture, and increased the capital of the federal farm loan system. Emergency loans have been granted to drought-streken areas. We have enacted into law the co-operative marketing act, the grain futures and packer control acts; given to agriculture direct representation on the federal reserve board and on the federal aid commission. "We have greatly strengthened our foreign marketing service for the disposal of our agricultural products. The crux of the problem from the standpoint of the farmer is the net profit he receives after his outlay. The process of bringing the average prices of what he buys and what he sells closer together can be promptly expedited by reduction in taxes, steady employment in industry and stability in business. One Cure for Depression. "This process can be expedited directly by lower freight rates, by better marketing through co-operative efforts, and a more scientific organization of the physical human machinery of distribution and by a greater diversification of farm products. "We promise every assistance in the reorganization of the market system on sounder and more economical lines, and, where diversification is needed, government assistance during the period of transition. "Vigorous efforts of this administration toward broadening our exports market will be continued. The Republican party pledges itself to the development and enactment of measures which will place the agricultural interests of America on a basis of economic equality with other industry to assure its prosperity and success. We favor adequate tariff protection to such of our agricultural products as are threatened by competition. We favor, without putting the government into business, the establishment of a federal system of organization for co-operative marketing of farm products. "The mining industry has experienced a period of depression as the result of the abnormal economic conditions growing out of the war. This administration has accomplished much in improving the conditions affecting this great fundamental industry, and pledges itself to continue its efforts in this direction. Highways. "The federal aid road act, adopted by the Republican congress in 1921, has been of inestimable value to the development of the highway system of the several states and of the nation. We pledge a continuation of this policy of federal co-operation with the states in highway building. "We favor the construction of roads and trails in our national forests necessary to the protection and utilization. In appropriations, therefore, the taxes which these lands would pay if taxable should be considered as a controlling factor. LABOR "The increasing stress of industrial life, the constant and necessary efforts, because of world competition, to increase production and decrease costs has made it specially incumbent on those in authority to protect labor from undue exactions. "We commend congress for having recognized this possibility in its prompt adoption of the recommendation of President Coolidge for a constitutional amendment authorizing congress to legislate on the subject of child labor and we urge the prompt consideration of that amendment by the legislatures of the various states. "There is no success great enough to justify the employment of women in labor under conditions which will impair their natural functions. High Standards for Women. "We favor high standards for wages, working and living conditions among the women employed in industry. "We pledge a continuance of the successful efforts of the Republican administration to eliminate the seven-day, twelve-hour work week, in industry. We regard with satisfaction the elimination of the twelve-hour day in the steel industry and the agreement eliminating the seven-day work week of alternate thirteen and eleven hours, accomplished through the efforts of Presidents Harding and Coolidge. We declare our faith in the principle of the eight-hour day. "We pledge a continuation of the work of rehabilitating workers in industry as conducted by the federal board for vocational education and favor adequate appropriations for this purpose. "We favor a broader and better system of vocational education, a more adequate system of federal free employment agencies with facilities for assisting the movements of seasonal and migratory labor, including farm labor, with ample organization for bringing the man and his job together. RAILROADS "The people demand and are entitled to have prompt and efficient transportation at the lowest rates, consistent with good service and a reasonable return on the value of the property devoted to public service. "We believe that the American people demand, and we favor, a careful and scientific readjustment of railroad rate schedules with a view to the encouragement of agriculture and basic industries, without impairment of railroad service. "The present law regulating railroads which were enacted to meet post-war conditions should be modified from time to time as experience shows the necessity therefor. "The consolidation of railroads into fewer competitive systems, subject to the approval of the interstate commerce commission, should be provided for. Labor Board Flexibility. "The labor board provisions of the present law should be amended whenever it appears from experience that such action is necessary. Collective bargaining, mediation and voluntary arbitration are the most important steps in maintaining peaceful labor relations and should be encouraged. We do not believe in compulsory action at any time in the settlement of labor disputes. "Public opinion must be the final arbiter in any crisis which so vitally affects public welfare as the suspension of transportation. "Therefore, the interests of the public require the maintenance of an impartial tribunal which can in an emergency make an investigation of the facts and publish its conclusions. This is essential as a basis for popular judgment. "We favor a stable, consistent and constructive policy toward our railroads. GOVERNMENT CONTROL "The prosperity of the American nation rests on the vigor of private initiative which has bred a spirit of independence and self reliance. The Republican party stands now as always, against all attempts to put the government into business. "American industry should not be compelled to struggle against government competition. The right of the government to regulate, supervise and control public utilities and public interests we believe should be strengthened, but we are firmly opposed to the nationalization or government ownership of public utilities. Plank on Coal Prices. "The price and a constant supply of this essential commodity are of vital interest to the public. The government has no constitutional power to regulate prices, but can bring its influence to bear by the powerful instrument afforded by full publicity. When through industrial conflict, its supply is threatened, the President should have authority to appoint a commission to act as mediators and as a medium for voluntary arbitration. In the event of a strike the control of distribution must be invoked to prevent profiteering. MERCHANT MARINE "The Republican party stands for a strong and permanent merchant marine built by Americans, owned by Americans and manned by Americans, to secure the necessary contact with world markets for our surplus agricultural products and manufactures; to protect our shippers and importers from exorbitant ocean freight rates and to become a powerful arm of our national defense. GREAT LAKES WATERWAY "Fully realizing the vital importance of transportation in both cost and service to all our people we favor the construction of the most feasible waterways from the great lakes to the Atlantic seaboard and the Gulf of Mexico, and the improvement and development of rivers, harbors, and waterways, inland and constwise, to the fullest extent justified by the present and potent tonnage available. "We favor a comprehensive survey of the conditions under which the flood waters of the Colorado river may be controlled and utilized for the benefit of the people of the states which border thereon. "The federal water power act establishes a national water power policy and the way has thereby been opened for the greatest water power development in history under conditions which preserve initiative of our people, yet protect the public interest. WORLD WAR VETERANS "We reaffirm the admiration and gratitude we feel for soldiers and sailors. "The Republican party pledges a continual and increasing solicitude for all those suffering any disability as a result of service to the United States in time of war. No country and no administration has ever shown a more generous disposition in the care of its disabled, or more thoughtful consideration in providing a sound administration for the solution of the many problems involved in making intended benefits fully, directly and promptly available to the veterans. "The confusion, inefficiency and mal-administration existing heretofore since the establishment of this government agency has been cured and plans are being actively made looking to a further improvement in the operation of the bureau by the passage of new legislation. The basic statute has been so liberalized as to bring within its terms 100,000 additional beneficaries. The privilege of hospitalization in government hospitals, as recommended by President Coolidge, has been granted to all veterans irrespective of the origin of disability and over $50,000,000 has been appropriated for hospital construction which will provide sufficient beds to care for all. Proof of Party's Intent. "Appropriations totalling over $1,100,000,000 made by the Republican congress for the care of the disabled evidences the unmistakable purpose of the government not to consider costs when the welfare of these men is at stake. No legislation for the benefit of the disabled soldiers proposed during the last four years by veterans' organizations has failed to receive consideration. "We pledge ourselves to meet the problems of the future affecting the care of our wounded and disabled in a spirit of liberality, and with that thoughtful consideration which will enable the government to give to the individual veterans that full measure of care guaranteed by an effective administration machinery to which his patriotic service and sacrifices entitle him. CONSERVATION "We believe in the development, effective and efficient, whether of oil, timber, coal or water power resources of this government, only as needed and only after the public need has become a matter of public record, controlled with a scrupulous regard and ever vigilant safeguards against waste, speculation and monopoly. "The natural resources of the country belong to all the people, and are a part of an estate belonging to generations yet unborn. The government policy should be to safeguard, develop and utilize these possessions. The conservation policy of the nation originated with the Republican party under the Inspiration of Theodore Roosevelt. We hold it a privilege of the Republican party to build as a memorial to him on the foundation which he laid. IMMIGRATION "The unprecedented living conditions in Europe following the World war created a condition by which we were threatened with mass immigration that would have seriously disturbed our economic life. The law recently enacted is designed to protect the inhabitants of our country, not only the American citizen, but also the alien already with us who is seeking to secure an economic foothold for himself and family from the competition that would come from unrestricted immigration. The administrative features of the law represent a great constructive advance, and eliminate the hardships suffered by immigrants under the emergency statute. "We favor the adoption of methods, which will exercise a helpful influence among the foreign born population and provide for the education of the alien in our language, customs, ideals and standards of life. We favor the improvement of naturalization laws. ARMY AND NAVY "There must be no further weakening of our regular army, and we ad- ```markdown ``` vocate appropriations sufficient to provide for the training of all members of the National Guard, the citizens military training camps, the reserve officers' training camps, and the reserves who may offer themselves for service. We pledge ourselves to round out and maintain the navy to the full strength provided the United States by the letter and spirit of the limitation of armaments conference. Anti-Lynching Law. "We urge the congress to enact at the earliest possible date a federal anti-lynching law so that the full influence of the federal government may be wielded to exterminate this hideous crime. We believe that much of the misunderstanding which now exists can be eliminated by humane and sympathetic study of its causes. The President has recommended the creation of a commission for the investigation of social and economic conditions and the promotion of mutual understanding and confidence. ORDERLY GOVERNMENT "The Republican party reaffirms its devotion to orderly government under the guarantees embodied in the Constitution of the United States. We recognize the duty of constant vigilance to preserve at all times a clean and honest government and to bring to the bar of justice every defiler of the public service in or out of office. "Dishonesty and corruption are not political attributes. The recent congressional investigations have exposed instances in both parties of men in public office who are willing to sell official favor and men out of office who are willing to buy them in some cases with money and in others with influence. "The sale of influence resulting from the holding of public position, or from association while in public office, or the use of such influence for private gain or advantage, is a perversion of public trust and prejudicial to good government. It should be condemned by public opinion and forbidden by law. "We demand the speedy, fearless and impartial prosecution of all wrong-doers, without regard for political, affiliation or position; but we declare no greater wrong can be committed against the people than the attempt to destroy their trust in the great body of their public servants. Admitting the deep humiliation which all good citizens share, that our public life should have harbored some dishonest men, we assert that these undesirables do not represent the standard of our national integrity. "The government at Washington is served today by thousands of earn- st, conscientious and faithful officials and employees in every department. It is a grave wrong against these patriotic men and women to strive indiscriminately to besmirch the names of the innocent and undermine the confidence of the people in their government. It is even a graver wrong when this is done for partisan purposes or for selfish exploitation. "The Republican administration has already taken charge of the prosecution of official dereliction, and it will continue the work of discovering and punishing; but it will not confuse the innocent with the guilty, nor prostitute for party advantage the enforcement of the law. LAW ENFORCEMENT "We must have respect for law. We must have observance of law. We must have enforcement of law. The very existence of the government depends on this. The substitution of private will for public law is only another name for oppression, disorder, anarchy and the mob rule. "Every government depends on the loyalty and respect of its citizens. Violations of the law weaken and threaten government itself. No honest government can condone such actions on the part of its citizens. The Republican party pledges the full strength of the government for the maintenance of these principles by the enforcement of the constitution and of all laws. Greet Women Delegates. "We extend our greetings to the women delegates who, for the first time under federal authorization, sit with us in full equality. The Republican party from the beginning has espoused the cause of woman suffrage, and the presence of these women delegates signifies to many here the completion of a task undertaken years ago. We welcome them not as assistants or as auxiliary representatives, but as co-partners in the great political work in which we are engaged, and we believe that the actual partnership in party councils should be made more complete. "The Republican party reaffirms its unyielding devotion to the Constitution and to the guarantees of civil, political and religious liberty therein contained. Ask a G. O. P. Congress. "With us parties are essential instrumentalities of government. Our government functions best when the Chief Executive is supported by a majority in the congress of the same political faith, united by party principles and able by concerted action to carry out in an orderly way a definite, consistent and well balanced program. "In urging the people to elect a Republican President and vice president we urge them to elect to the senate and house of representatives men and women who believe in the Republican principles, acknowledge party responsibility, and who can be relied on to keep faith with the people by carrying out the program which the Republican party presents and pledges itself to fulfill." THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIANITY The St. Rose Branch of the Holy Name Society, Springfield, Kentucky the oldest Colored Holy Name Society in the United States. Many of the members of this society will take part in the National Holy Name Rally to be held in Washington, September 21st, next. More than 200,000 Catholic Men will take part in this great demonstration which will be the largest in the history of America. The Colored Catholic Men will play an important part in this great demonstration which will commemorate the 650 th anniversary of that organization.

Five thousand black-shirted Fascist militiamen, fully armed, poured into Rome from the provinces to keep order and to protect the Fascist organization.

Other features of the declaration include a pronouncement for the restoration of normal relations with Russia. Prof. Timothy A. Smiddy of Cork has been appointed minister plenipotentiary of the Irish Free State at Washington, it was announced in the Dail Eireann by Desmond Fitzgerald, minister of foreign affairs.

A shipment of arms of American manufacture consigned to Germany is reported by the Dutch newspaper Gronwel to have been seized by the police at Rosendael on the Holland frontier.

GENERAL Sale of the San Francisco Journal to Wallace M. Alexander, sugar magnate, was announced last week by Andrew M. Lawrence, publisher of the Journal. Seven arrests have been made in connection with the holdup of a Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul mail train near Chicago by bandits who obtained loot valued at between $1,000,000 and $3,000,000, but there is a difference of opinion as to how far the arrests go toward clearing up the mystery. With Frank Rossi and James Hughes under arrest, New York police are trying to find a motive for the slaying of "Big Bill" Brennan, well-known puglist, who twice fought Jack Dempsey. Brennan was called from his restaurant, The Club Tia Juana, on upper Broadway, and shot to death without warning. The Olympic record for the 400-meter hurdles was bettered by a half second by Charles Brookins, Iowa University star, when he won a trial heat in 0:53 5-10 at the final Olympic track and field tryouts at the Harvard stadium in Cambridge, Mass. A sturdy, tireless Washington crew triumphed over the eights of four Eastern colleges at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., and won the premier race of the Intercollegiate Rowing Association regatta by a wide margin, repeating last year's Washington victory. Another Western crew, that of Wisconsin, undecided by the experts, picked up its pace in the last mile, pressed the victors and finished second. A mistrial was ordered in the case of Frank McDowell, charged with the murder of his mother. Judge M. A. McMullen ordered that the clerk record a mistrial when the jury reported it could not agree.

Nail, charged with first degree murder for the killing of Ezra Sweet, on trial in the Superior Court, at Globe, Ariz., returned a verdict of not guilty. Nail admitted on the stand having shot Sweet, who, he said, had alienated the affections of his wife and broken up his home. The Pacific fleet paid tremendous and reverent homage to the three officers and forty-five men who fell in line of duty in No. 2 turret of the battleship Mississippi, "You died at your posts of duty," said Rear Admiral W. V. Pratt as he faced the long rows of coffins in the last ceremonies for the dead, at Irma field, San Pedro, Calif.

WASHINGTON Charles Beecher Warren, the United States ambassador to Mexico, who plans to resign that post soon, has been prevalued upon by President Coolidge to withhold his formal resignation for the present.

Of this number it was made known at the Democratic national committee headquarters in Washington, 143 will sit as delegates at large, thirty-four as district delegates, seventy-eight as alternates at large and 209 as district alternates. These figures, it was explained, do not include all of the women delegates and alternates from Virginia and any from Alabama. President Coolidge issued definite instructions for the administration of the soldiers' bonus law, despite the failure of Congress to appropriate funds for its initial cost. "The World War adjusted compensation act became a law over my protest," the President said, in a letter to Secretary of War Weeks. "I am not willing, however, to let the administration of the law remain practically in abeyance until Congress again convenes, simply because I would be justified under existing conditions in so doing."

INFORMAL AFTERNOON FROCKS; SERVES FOR PARTY OR DANCE DRESS designing is in some instances quite a one-sided proposition. Wandering throughout the labyrinth of dress collections exhibited by leading designers one emerges with fixed convictions and the above is one of them. The unique and attractive effects attained through curious one-sided trims discloses a revelation of new opportunity in dress designing. It is the novel placement THE NEW YORK TIMES 1910 A young woman in a long dress sits on a wicker chair, her hands resting on the back of the chair. She has long wavy hair and is wearing a dark dress with a light-colored sleeve. The background is a decorative frame with intricate patterns. of plaitings at one side only, of the dress shown in the picture, which so conspicuously stamps it as being of last-minute origination. Speaking of plaits, they have taken on a new lease of life. The latest is for three-piece costumes entirely formed of plaited crepe or silk. The frock is plaited from tip to toe, fastening down the front with tailored or fandish buttons, according to taste. There may or may not be a frill of lace, this also being left to choice. These are mere matters of detail, for it is the stunning short cape plaited all over just like the frock over which it is worn, which declares foremost style spelled in capital letters. Inset bands of flat plaits are used in every conceivable way not only in the styling of silken frocks, but especially on the new tube-like long gritish simplicity writes to the grade just enough cunning make it serve charm and party of coming. The answer to the forth in the account. Just the faintest most delicate azure a sort of shimmer over lace through and bodice of this is a tantalizing flut about the ankles, w composite of the exe are the striking feat. Quantities of lace on festive frocks the fact is quite as prosa for adult. They are airy fairy creat ting geometr n THE FASHION WEEKLY 10 THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY ```markdown ``` silk coats, which have superseded the cloth capes of last year. Separate plaited skirts also continue in fashion. The blouse dress with plaited skirt attached at the long waist line is proving a favorite. Sometimes the blouse and skirt are of contrasting material. That is a printed silk top shows its prevailing shade repeated in solid color for the sewed-on plaited skirt and to bring the dress into a unit there are collars and cuffs of the plain silk. A dress of this description revealed a unique scarf collar effect, made of the plait- ```markdown ``` ing done lengthwise. To hold it in position there were several machine stitchings run across the scarf. stitchings run across the scarf. Now is the time when "sweet girl graduates" keep the fashion world in a whirl of pleasurable excitement. What an all important matter it is to choose one's graduation frock, almost as serious as passing one's final examinations. The trick, is to select a dress which retains that A girlish simplicity which tradition ascribes to the graduation frock, with just enough cunning furbelows to make it serve charmingly for dance and party of coming summer promise. The answer to the problem is set forth in the accompanying picture. Just the faintest flesh color with most delicate azure blue combines in a sort of shimmering shadow effect over lace throughout the full skirt and bodice of this lovely model. There is a tantalizing flutter of lace falling about the ankles, while the sash is a composite of the exquisite colors which are the striking feature of the gown. Quantities of lace are being used on festive frocks this season, and this fact is quite as pronounced for youth as for adult. The prettiest dresses are airy fairy creations of diaphanous tinted georgette massed with fuffy- 1 ruffles of tissue-like lace in perfectly matched coloring. Of utmost simplicity is an all-white georgette beautiful with row after row, set in wavy lines, of fine valenciennes frills. Almost half the rather narrow skirt was devoted to these lacy rows and the waist showed the lace set in yoke fashion with more rows posed just above the waist line. A faint yellow organdile with graduated rows of pintucked net set in the full skirt and about the long-waisted blouse with a bertha collar of the net describes a lovely model emanating from the atelier of a noted French couturier. It is just such a frock as this which will grace any garden party, especially if it be topped with a typical picture hat, rose-laden and beribboned. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
