THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY PRESIDENT COOLIDGE SENDS MESSAGE TO ADVANCEMENT ASSOCIATION'S CONFERENCE Hopes for "Fullest Realization of Its High Purposes" VOL. XXX PRESIDENT COOLIDGE MESSAGE TO A ASSOCIATE Hopes for "Fullest Realization Philadelphia, June 26.—President Calvin Coolidge sent a message of greeting to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, now in fifteenth annual conference, which was read at the opening mass meeting (First African Baptist Church) last night, in which he expresses his "good wishes to your splendid organization and my hopes for the fullest realization of its high purposes." President Coolidge's message in full is as follows: "My dear Mr. White: "Your thoughtfulness in calling my attention to the impending annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is much appreciated. You will add to the service you have already done me if you will at some appropriate time during the session extend to the gathering the assurance of my deep interest and concern for the progress of the colored people of this country. Within the last decade, when all sections of the country have been making drafts upon the great reservoir of industrial capacity that is represented by the colored population of the South, we have undoubtedly come to a new appreciation of the great importance of this element of our population. It cannot be doubted that these new conditions point to the certainty of a yet more rapid improvement of the status of the colored people. "In this connection, I am sure you will pardon me if I repeat a few words from my address some days ago at the commencement exercises of Howard University, in this city. After referring to the rapid advancement of the colored people in America as one of the remarkable phenomena of the human history, I said: "It has been a painful and difficult experience, this, by which another race has been recruited to the standard of civilization and enlightenment; for that is really what has been going on; and the episodes of Negro slavery in America, of Civil war, and emancipation, and, following that, the old advancement of the American cloaked people both materially and spiritually must be recognized as parts of a long evolution by which all mankind is gradually being led to higher levels, expanding its understanding of its mission here, approaching nearer and nearer to the realization of its full and perfected destiny. "In such a view of the history of the Negro race in America, we may find the evidences that the black man's probation on this continent was necessary part in a great plan by which the race was to be saved to the world for a service which we are now able to vision and, even if yet somewhat dimly, to appreciate. The destiny of the great African continent, to be added at length—and in a future not now far beyond us—to the realms of the highest civilization, has become apparent within a very few decades. But for the strange and long inscrutable --- State Hist. & Nat. Hits Society State House FOR THE ONLY RELIANCE COLORA DGE SENDS ADVANCEMENT NON'S CONFERENCE tion of Its High Purposes" purpose which in the ordering of human affairs subjected a part of the black race to the ordeal of slavery, that race might have been assigned to the tragic fate which has befallen many aboriginal peoples when brought into conflict with more advanced communities. Instead, we are able now to be confident that this race is to be preserved for a great and useful work. If some of its members have suffered, if some have been denied, if some have been sacrificed, we are able at last to realize that their sacrifices were borne in a great cause. They gave vicariously, that a vastly greater number might be preserved and benefited through them. The salvation of a race, the destiny of a continent, were bought at the price of these sacrifices.' "Such being my firmly held view of the great part which the colored community of America is playing in the development of a world civilization, I cannot too earnestly express my good wishes to your splendid organization and my hopes for the fullest realization of its high purpose. "Most sincerely yours, "CALVIN COOLIDGE." Judson W. Lyons of Augusta, Ga., Fermer Register, Is Dead Augusta, Ga.—Judson W. Lyons, attorney at law, formerly register of the United States treasury, died here at his late home on Sunday, June 22. Captain Lyons (he was for a short while an officer in the state militia) was prominent in Republican party activities for many years, and was at one time national committeeman for Georgia. During McKinley's first administration, Captain Lyons was a candidate for appointment to the post-mastership here, and he was endorsed by many of the most prominent and influential men of the community, white and colored. After a long fight with William H. Stallings, a white Republican, as his opponent, President McKinley finally offered Captain Lyons the registership of the treasury, which he accepted, and Stallings was made postmaster. After leaving the register's office Mr. Lyons maintained law offices both in Washington and Augusta, and continued his active interest in national politics for a number of years. Lately his health has not been so good and his physical activities have been curtailed. But he retained the confidence and respect of all classes of citizens, white and black, of all shades of political belief. Mr. Lyons married Miss Jane Hope of this city, a sister to Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse College, who survives him, with three daughters and one son—the Misses Hope and Edith, who are teaching in the Washington schools; Miss Alice, in business in New York; and Judson, Jr., who is in school. ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION James A. Cobb, Former United States Attorney in Washington Discusses "Segregation in American Law" Reclares Residential Segregation Violates U. S. Constitution Speaking at last night's (Friday, June 27) mass meeting in the Union Baptist church, Nineteenth and Fitzwater streets, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, now holding its fifteenth annual conference in Philadelphia, James A. Cobb, former assistant U. S. attorney for the District of Columbia, declared that residential segregation of colored people was a violation of the federal constitution. Mr. Cobb said in part: "Several years ago there sprung up a veritable epidemic of city ordinances passed to accomplish the purpose of racial discrimination and segregation in the matter of occupancy of homes, Atlanta, Ga.; Louisville, Ky.; Richmond, Va.; Baltimore, Ml., and Raleigh, N. C., may be mentioned as typical of the cities which attempted to pass such laws. So flagrant was this attempt to defeat the constitutional rights of citizens that the courts even of some of the southern states, put themselves on record as definitely opposing such legislation. * * * "Mr. Justice Day, delivering the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the well-considered case of Buchanan vs. Warley (known as The Louisville Segregation Case), said in part: 'That there exists a serious and difficult problem, arising from a feeling of race hostility which the law is powerless to control, and to which it must give a measure of consideration may be freely admitted. But its solution cannot be promoted by depriving citizens of their constitutional rights and privileges.' And further on in the same opinion, he said: 'We think this attempt to prevent the alienation of the property in question to a person of color was not a legitimate exercise of the police power of the state, and is in direct violation of the fundamental law enacted in the Fourteenth amendment of the constitution, preventing state interference with property rights except by due process of law.' "Certainly this would appear to be the last word on this question of segregated housing. But now the individual flat of a group of people, entering into a mutual covenant not to dispose of their land to people of the Negro race or descent, is chosen as a means of doing what the constitution of the United States, and the interpretation by the Supreme Court of the United States, has indicated definitely cannot be legally done. "If the constitution does not protect the rights of all citizens, it does not protect the rights of any, since it knows no distinction of race or color." DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1924.

We earnestly solicit the patronage of all race-loving people. We own our own hearse and rolling stock, all manned by uniformed licensed chauffeurs, which enables us to give the very best of service. Mr. Granberry, president and manager of the organization, needs no introduction to the public as an upright, progressive business man, having served Denver for the past five years. Mr. James T. Sims, assistant manager and secretary, has spent the greater part of his life in Denver. He is a young man of exceptional qualities and ability. He is a graduate of East Side High school and is now a student at Denver University School of Commerce.

C. Dyer. At this meeting, too, a greeting was read from President Coolidge expressing "my good wishes to your splendid organization and my hopes for the fullest realization of its high purposes." Welcome to the conference in behalf of the city of Philadelphia was extended by Charles Hall, president of the city council, and by Isadore Martin, president of the Philadelphia Branch, N. A. A. C.

Born June 3, 1911,ville, Georgia, Hayes was a stove molder when his covered by Mr. Calhoun singer, who urged him gave him his first instru Hayes worked his way to University coming North Bishop John Hurst, presiding officer at the opening mass meeting, charged that southern sentiment was dominating the nation despite northern victory in the Civil war, and asserted that the time had come for Negroes to stand together and make common cause for their rights. Mr. Storey in his address, reviewed the growth of the N. A. A. C. P. from a small committee to a membership of 100,000, an asserted that it rested with colored people whether the campaign for their full citizenship rights was to be carried victoriously onward by the N. A. A. C. P. Commenting upon President Coolidge's message of greeting to the N. A. A. C. P., Mr. Storey said: "There is a very simple way of testing President Coolidge's wishes for the realization of our high aims. Let us test the President in the matter of segregation in the government departments in Washington. It began under President Wilson. It can end under Coolidge." Representative Dyer in a flery attack upon "the most cowardly Republican senators who have ever been in office," urged colored voters* to vote upon the basis of present issues, not the Civil war. He asserted that not by the action of a Republican but through the efforts of a member of the Farmer-Labor party the case of Walter Cohen had been reconsidered and Mr. Cohen confirmed as customs collector at the Port of New Orleans. He charged Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania with giving more attention to the World Court than to his colored constituents and denounced the Ku Klux Klan. "I will not vote for or support," said Mr. Dyer, "for any office, anyone who is a member of or countenances the Ku Klux Klan. If I lived in Indiana, I would not vote for the Republican candidate for governor because he owes his nomination to the klan." Spingarn Medal to Roland Hayes The Spingarn medal, it was announced at the N. A. A. C. P. confer- NO.38. ence, goes this year to the greatest singer of his race, Roland Hayes, now trumphantly touring European cities.

The committee making the award consists of Bishop John Hurst, chairman; Dorothy Canfield Fisher, author of "The Bent Twig," etc.; James H. Dillard, director of the Jeanes and Slater Funds; John Hope, president of Morehouse College; Theodore Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, and Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, editor of The Crisis. Roland Hayes, to whom the Sping-arn Medal goes, has achieved unique distinctions, having been hailed by leading critics in Europe and America as one of the greatest living artists of any race. Born June 3, 1887, at Curryville, Georgia, Hayes was working as a stove molder when his voice was discovered by Mr. Calhoun, a colored singer, who urged him to study and gave him his first instruction. Roland Hayes worked his way through Fiske University, coming North with the Fiske Jubilee Singers and remained to study in Boston, where he gave his first recital in Jordan Hall in 1912. Since then he has toured the countries of Europe as well as the United States achieving new triumphs at each appearance. In April of 1921 he was accorded the honor of being commanded to sing before the King and Queen of England. He has given more than sixteen recitals in England, has sung more than forty times in the salons of Paris, and has been soloist with the Boston, Philadelphia and Detroit Symphony Orchestras in the United States. On his present tour of Europe, Mr Hayes is to appear with Sir Henry Wood's Orchestra in England and will give recitals in Paris, Vienna, Budapest, Prague, and other cities of Czecho-Slovakia, Hungary and Italy. On his return to America early in October of this year, Mr Hayes will fill sixty concert engagements throughout the United States on a tour which will take him to the Pacific coast.

Both houses of the Japanese diet, at the first sittings of the current session in Tokio and almost as their first business, passed resolutions strongly opposing the action of the United States in enacting, as part of its new immigration law, a clause prohibiting the entry of Japanese. The passages of the resolution in each instance followed the presentation of addresses by the premier, Viscount Taka-Akira Muto, and the foreign minister, Baron Kijuro Shidehara. Transvaal, the rangy bay son of Tracey, won the grand Prix de Paris at 120 to 1, the longest odds with which a winner of this blue ribbon event at the French turf has ever rewarded its backers since the race was created. Never was a grand prix victory received amid such dead silence; the 150,000 spectators, a record crowd, appeared to be stunned. There were a few hysterical shouts here and there among the immense crowds, testifying that there were a few holders of lucky tickets. GENERAL Adolph B.

American Jews have contributed $8,500,000 toward the rebuilding of the Jewish homeland in Palestine under the British mandate within the last three years, it was reported in Pittsburgh at the twenty-seventh annual convention of the Zionist organizations of America by Emanuel Neumann, national secretary of the Palestine foundation fund. Of this sum, the Palestine foundation fund has raised $8,000,000, the balance being obtained by sixteen other agencies, Mr. Neumann said. The international committee of bankers of Mexico announced in New York that the Mexican government had failed to deposit sufficient funds to meet interest payments on the $500,000,000 debt for the first six months of 1924. No further disbursements on warrants of the various bond issues involved in the debt agreement therefore will be made until further notice. Unofficially bankers interested in Mexico's finances expressed the opinion that the suspension of payments, made necessary by the recent revolution, would be only temporary. The committee, they said, would not declare Mexico in default at this time. Approximately seventy-five out of 130 leases for sale on Osage land were disposed of for a total of $2,263,200 at Pawhuska, Okla.

NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Democratic Convention War of Fighting Factions and Mad Tumult. By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN WHEN the Democratic national convention, which opened Tuesday in Madison Square Garden, New York city, adjourned Thursday evening to Friday morning the net results were these: Two keynote speeches; many tumultuous demonstrations; a platform committee desperately struggling with seemingly superable complications, and an apparent deadlock between the forces of McAdoo and Smith, with favorite sons in plenty and going strong. Of the rival McAdoo and Smith demonstrations the New Yorker staged the longer and noisier. In the only test vote—that Thursday afternoon on the question of adjourning to Thursday night or Friday morning—the Smith forces won by a vote of $55½ to 513. The convention decided to stick to the two-thirds rule—which may or may not have been a victory for Smith. There are 1,008 delegates; necessary to nominate, 732. Each state is a law unto itself as to the unit rule. As to the platform the situation was this: The subcommittee was still at work on a draft to be submitted to the full committee. This draft contained alternative planks on several controversial subjects, including the League of Nations, the Ku Klux Klan and prohibition. It was hoped to have the platform ready for the convention sometime Friday. There was every prospect of a fight on the floor over the League of Nations and Klan planks. Those who had been placed in nomination were: Senator Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama, Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas, William Gibbs McAdoo of California, Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York, Willard Saulsbury, former senator from Delaware; David F. Houston, cabinet officer in the Wilson administration; Samuel M. Ralston, former governor of Indiana; Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, Gov. Jonathan M. Davies of Kansas, Senator Woodbridge N. Ferris of Michigan. THE feature of Tuesday, the opening day, was the address of Senator Pat (Byron Patton) Harrison of Mississippi, temporary chairman and official keynoter. In congressional life he is "chief bear-batter" of the Republicans—a party duty which he cheerfully performs with his tongue in his cheek. But nothing like that here. His tongue was hung in the middle with both ends working. He lambasted. He flayed. He blistered. He charged the Republicans with responsibility for pretty nearly all the evils of the day, except the World war and the foot-and-mouth disease. Exhausted by his own eloquence, he brought in an artful and eloquent reference to Woodrow Wilson and sat down to rest and receive congratulations for 13 minutes by the watch while the vast assemblage made demonstration of regard for the dead leader. Then he brought his keynote to a brass-band close. Wednesday Thomas J. Walsh, United States senator from Montana, tireless watcher beside the oil well of Teapot Dome and a dark horse with many admirers, took command of the convention as permanent chairman and made the second keynote speech. The committee on platform not being ready to report—for many and divers reasons—Chairman Walsh started the nominations. Alabama nominated Senator Oscar W. Underwood, its spokesman being Forney Johnston of Brimingham. Underwood is the original anti-Klan man. Johnston led artfully up to a climax where he named the Ku Klux Klan right out in meeting. A large part of the convention thereupon went plumb crazy in a long, riotous anti-Klan demonstration marked by parades and fist fights. Its significance was that it was spontaneous and not staged. Arkansas nominated Senator Joseph ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION T. Bobinson through Gov. Charles T. Brough. THEN came California and McAdoo, Former Senator James D. Phelan (1915-21), chosen because he is a Roman Catholic, made the nomination while the great crowd got set for the demonstration to follow. It started at 3:30 with staged and boosted accessories and spontaneous fast fights — it was in part a pro-Klan demonstration. At 4:35 it was still going strong with the Smith forces trying to drown out the McAdoo shouters and the band inaudible. Then George Brennan of Illinois, in command of the anti-McAdoo forces, caught the eye of Chairman Walsh, and moved to adjourn. Walsh declared it carried without consulting the milling and shouting crowd. Thursday was Smith day, Connecticut yielding to New York. Four years ago a vigorous young man seconded the nomination of Smith at San Francisco and won for himself the vice presidential nomination. Thursday this same young man, Franklin D. Roosevelt, manager of the Smith campaign, fighting against the inroads of infantile paralysis, had virtually to be carried to the platform to make the nomination. The convention paid him a fine personal tribute. The Smith demonstration which followed lasted from 12:30 to 1:55 and was the wildest and noisest ever staged in a national convention. The McAdoo forces said it at least explained the puzzle of the 1924 convention, "Who got the tickets?" HARLAN F. STONE, the new attorney general of the United States, filed suit Wednesday in the United States District court in Chicago, charging the Standard Oil companies of eight states and 44 other oil companies with violation of the anti-trust act. Yes; this is the Sherman anti-trust act and the Standard Oil company of 1911, when Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis said "Gulity" and imposed a fine of $29,000,000. The petition is aimed primarily at the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, parent organization of the series of corporations into which the old company was split, the Standard Oil Company of Indiana (covering the 15 Central states); the Texas company, the Gasoline Products company and the Standard Development company. The other interests named in the bill, including the Standard Oil companies of California, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, New York and Ohio, are termed "secondary defendants" and are concerned as holders of contracts with the five "primary defendants." Specifically, the charges allege that the defendants are "engaged in a combination and conspiracy in restraint of trade and commerce among the several states and with foreign nations in gasoline, kerosene and other hydrocarbon products." UNITED STATES Ambassador Kellogg at London was instructed Wednesday from Washington to attend the allied conference of premiers to be held July 16 in London to discuss execution of the Dawes plan. The statement given out at the White House was as follows: "It is the desire of the administration that the Dawes plan should be put into effect as speedily as possible. This is the first essential step to economic recovery abroad in which this country is vitally interested. It is with this in view that in response to the invitation extended by Prime Minister MacDonald, instructions have been given to Ambassador Kellogg to attend the conference in London on July 16 for the purpose of dealing with such matters as affect the interests of the United States, and otherwise for purposes of information. Colonel Logan will go to London to assist the ambassador." It is now expected that in attendance will be Premier MacDonald of Great Britain, Premier Herriot of France, Premier Theunis of Belgium, Premier Mussollii of Italy and Baron Hayashi, Japanese ambassador to the Court of St. James. LIEUT. RUSSELL MAUGHAN. United States army aviator, flew from New York to San Francisco Monday in 21 hours and 48 minutes. Seventy-two years ago Ezra Meeker crossed the continent in five months—and is still alive and telling about his record journey. So the span of a single life covers the transportation development of America from the ox team and covered wagon at two miles an hour to the airplane at 150 miles. In between are the stage coach, pony express, railroad and the march of the American people across the continent. Maughan, in accomplishing the seemingly impossible, won fame for himself and prestige for the air service and for his country. His flight is epochal, from both military and commercial viewpoints. Incidentally, a transcontinental all-night air-mail service goes into effect next Tuesday. PREMIER MUSSOLINI of Italy, whose speedy downfall had been predicted by his opponents as the result of the abduction and murder of Socialist Matteotti, is today more than ever his country's national hero. Incidentally he confounded the prophets and set all diplomatic Europe agape by his magnificent gift to the Italian people. In an epochal address before the senate Tuesday, confirmed by an address Wednesday to the Fascist majority in the lower house, he promised to reform the Fascist government and to return to constitutional parliamentary government. He promised this: "First, I will cause the institution of parliament to function regularly and nobly as an organ of legislative power, restoring to it its capacity and its prestige." "Second, I will regularize under the constitution the situation of the national militia." "Third, I will repress the superimposed illegalisms in the organization of the Fascist party. Even the Socialists do not doubt Mussolini's sincerity and good faith. By giving up the dictatorship he is apparently more powerful than ever. GEN. JAMES BARRY HERTZOG Tuesday accepted the premiership of the Union of South Africa, succeeding Premier Jan Christian Smuts, resigned. Smuts, soldier-statesman, reckoned in other parts of the British empire as one of the greatest figures of his time, is the champion of the policy of strict allegiance to the British home government. Hertzog, the Nationalist-Labor leader, is champion of the movement of the South African party to establish an independent Dutch-governed republic. The recent election campaign was fought on this issue. The result was a substantial majority in parliament for the South African party. Thus the first avowedly republican government in the British empire will soon be in existence. It is apparently a second blow at the principle of imperial unity. It will be remembered that Premier King of Canada declined to submit to parliament the treaty made by Great Britain with Turkey—the so-called Lausanne treaty—on the ground that Canada had no share in making it. BRIG. GEN. CHARLES G. DAWES. Republican candidate for vice president, will have his first conference with President Coolidge Tuesday. He and Mrs. Dawes will be guests at the White House for several days. Chairman William M. Butler of the Republican national committee and other leaders will attend the conference. At an Association of Commerce meeting before leaving Chicago General Dawes said that he would make no speeches until the campaign opened, when he would do "his best." Presumably "Hell Maria" Dawes can be relied upon to enliven the campaign. Chairman Butler Thursday in New York began to arrange for the opening of eastern headquarters for the Republican campaign. He said the Coolidge clubs of the country would be organized and centralized in a bureau at New York, as an adjunct to the campaign. The Democrats are "chortling with glee" over an alleged discovery in connection with the appointment of William Hodges, a Denver lawyer, as treasurer of the Republican national committee. They expect to link up Republican funds with Wall street through the fact that Hodges was a classmate at Columbia law school with Dwight Morrow, a partner in J. P. Morgan & Co., who was a classmate of President Coolidge at Amherst. DAY AND NIGHT SERVICE STARTS FIRST DAY AND NIGHT AIR MAIL RECEIVED ON OPPOSITE COASTS POSTAL TEST SUCCESS MAIL PILOTS REACH SAN FRANCISCO AND HAZLEHURST ON SCHEDULE TIME San Francisco.—The first west und air mail, which had left Mineola, N. Y., 34 hours and 40 minutes earlier, arrived at the air mail field here. The two planes, which arrived five seconds apart, were piloted from Reno, Nev., by Curr H. Winslow and W. Huking. The mail which had started west from New York at 11:05 eastern daylight saving time, had traversed the width of the continent in a total elapsed time ten seconds more than the schedule for the New York-San Francisco service. Six sets of pilots had driven the planes which carried the westbound mail. Eight hundred and eighty-five miles had been traversed in the dark. Hazlehurst Field, New York.—The first east-bound transcontinental mail service airplanes, piloted by Wesley L. Smith, arrived here six minutes behind schedule, with 12 pouches of mail weighing 231 pounds. The plane left Cleveland 14 minutes behind schedule, due to the delay of a mail truck. Although Pilot Smith encountered an unfavorable east wind of twenty miles an hour and a thunder shower over the coal region of Pennsylvania, he "picked up" eight minutes. One of the pouches contained an assortment of fresh-cut Colorado flowers for Mrs. Calvin Coolidge from Mrs. James B. Power, wife of the postmaster of San Francisco. The San Francisco mail reached here thirty-two hours and five minutes after being dispatched from Crissy field. Omaha.—Formalities and novelty of the first flight over, and with mail to be moved along on a minute-saving schedule, filers of the night air mail service have settled into the routine of carrying the transcontinental mail on time. The whoops and shouts that greeted the first ship as they swooped out of the darkness onto the illuminated landing fields are missing. In contrast to the crowds which hailed each arrival, mechanics roused from sleep inspected incoming planes and tuned up those scheduled to go out. Field attaches instead of high postal officials transferred the mail from one plane to another. W. C. Hopson, who left Chicago several hours earlier, was the first flier to land at the Omaha field. Frank Yager hopped off a short time later for Cheyenne, Wyo., with one stop scheduled at North Platte. Pilots reported the flares marking the course worked perfectly and weather conditions were reported favorable. Broadway Limited Wrecked Lancaster, Pa.—The "Broadway Limited," one of the Pennsylvania railroad's fastest passenger trains from New York to Chicago, was wrecked one mile east of this city, eight of the nine cars leaving the rails. Two women passengers and one member of the crew were slightly hurt. Use of Super-Power Advocated London.—The importance of super power development as a factor in improving public welfare was endorsed at the world power conference by speakers of many nationalities, including American, British, Spanish and Italian James P. Noonn, president of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, declared that American labor had no quarrel with such developments and was ready to co-operate with finance and engineering skill to bring the power industry to its finest development. Synthetic Law Branded Illegal New York.—The synthetic law, a blend of state and federal statutes under which Prohibition Director Yellowley raided a cafe and arrested four patrons as material witnesses, was called "illegal and unheard of" by Federal Commissioner Boyle, when the prisoners were arraigned before him. The commissioner warned Director Yellowley that the agents who conducted the raids were subject to charges of false arrests. The four witnesses were dismissed. Lorain Death Loss 64 Lorain, Ohio.—Efforts are being made to make an authentic inventory of the property damage sustained by this city in the tornado which demolished the main business section and much of the residential section. The loss has been estimated at $25,000,000 to $30,000,000. The death list was reduced one, to sixty-four, when it was definitely established that Harry Arndt was a duplication of Harry Artin, who was killed in the State Theater block.

We are within a great convention hall credit upon our brand of citizenship such to say that an underlying sense for much of the disturbance goes of this republic and of the great count consideration within the heart our full part by our nation and inventory is imperative. We we are not enough concerned about nations many, and if only we disch your obligations bravely, we took conception of our material, spirit. ONCE each year at this time the government of the United States closes its official business, strikes a balance where balances are possible, counts the profit and loss and starts afresh July 1st on its yearly business cruise Strictly speaking the government is but a huge corporation, doing business for all the people and its example of completely taking stock once a year could be profitably followed not alone by lesser financial institutions and big business enterprises, but also by the individual citizen. And by this we do not point to it as a necessity for one to take stock of their material gain and financial resources for the government comes pretty close to doing that for us. But the complexity of our citizenship is such, just now, that a personal inventory would serve a useful purpose, for the governmental affairs could proceed along with better poise when re-assured that an improved lot of citizens were to be found within its borders each year. We need to know ourselves better and in going over our personal stock, our prejudices, neighborly contact, our politics and religion we but fit ourselves the more aptly for that high standard of American citizenship that should be the ultimate aim of all. Nothing else is worth while and no obligation is more binding. We are witnessing this week, turmoil and conflicts within a great convention hall that does not reflect a vast amount of credit upon our brand of citizenship. It is not too much to say that an underlying spirit of intolerance is directly responsible for much of the disturbance going on at Manhattan Island. As citizens of this republic and of the great commonwealth of Colorado, the paramount consideration within the hearts of all is whether or no we are doing our full part by our nation and state. To know this properly a personal inventory is imperative. We worry too much about the other fellow, we are not enough concerned about self. Our duties are plain and our obligations many, and if only we discharge our duties as we should and assume our obligations bravely, we too, can start the fiscal year with a clearer conception of our material, spiritual and civic balances. THE POLITICAL SPEEDWAY is for president and vice preside and Democratic tickets, the two out at the polls next November now well under way. Then the candidates and a cleavage of platforms that American voters' political camp suitable to their ne WITH candidates for president and vice president nominated on the Republican and Democratic tickets, the two major parties that must fight it out at the polls next November, the quadrennial political marathon is now well under way. There is a sufficiency of difference between the candidates and a cleavage of such marked sharpness between the platforms that American voters should have no difficulty in finding a political camp suitable to their needs. The Democratic party, true to its tradition in national convention assembled, maintained a stoical silence on anything that might in any way be of benefit to our group. Of course no one expected anything different, even though quite a number of Negro "Democrats" graced the occasion with their presence. However, the bourbon party missed a glorious opportunity to make a direct appeal to the Negro vote of the country in a way it has never had and most assuredly will not have again, and that would have been by adopting a strong anti-Klan plank in its platform. But the platform builders sidestepped on this question as it did on the League of Nations and its much heralded wet plank, and in so doing they not only failed to heal the differences between clashing factions within its own ranks, but offered no appeal to those not entirely in accord with Klan affiliations. Whatever else may be said of the Cleveland convention, public opinion will agree that a greater element of sanity prevailed there than at the big Madison Square Garden conflict. The more clearly defined issues will be brought out during the campaign which promises to be a heated one from wire to wire, and these the COLORADO STATESMAN will discuss from time to time. Our interest at present extends solely to the Negro as a citizen of the great American commonwealth rather than as a devotee of any particular party. We have a common duty to perform and an obligation to assume at every election period but these are unquestionably of greater import in the campaign of this year than usual. Some years ago the rights of citizenship was conferred upon us and the ballot placed in our hands as a weapon of defense, and while there are sections of the country that would deprive us of the use of the ballot through devious means, there are other sections where, to our everlasting shame and disgrace, we deprive our ownselves of this powerful weapon of defense through failure to register and vote. We want to see the Negro vote in this country be a known factor in the present campaign. In communities where we hold the balance of power, and there are many of them, in God's name use that power. Nobody counts the favor of a weakling, but everyone respects power; and it is through use of this power rightly directed that the Negro race of America will more readily approach a solution of its problems than through any other agency.

So be that clothes were worn for one of two pups or to keep one warm; but now, there are enough worn to meet either of these ends.

In Not Something We Can Com Slip Off at Night OUR medicine men and magicians are not so fantastic in their dress, their rites, or their appearance as the medicine men of old, but they resemble them in several very important ways. One of the great powers of the magician among primitive men was his supposed science and his control of words. And the chief instrument of the magic to which we appeal today is to the magic of names. It is by a formula, an incantation, an idea that contemporary magic appeals. It is a single phrase, a single principle, a single method, a single hope upon which we are to rest our salvation. And these single sesames to security happiness, progress and peace that rise and fall so rapidly in popular interest and esteem are all bathed in the aura of science.

"I Never Look Upon the Money I Earn as My Own, It Is Public Money" By FRITZ KREISLER, Famous Austrian Violinist. My present success means an opportunity to serve humanity. As for the financial end of my art—to be quite truthful, I must admit that, as my dear father did not believe in selling his medical knowledge, so it nauseates me to have to sell my musical ability. I was born with music in my system. I knew musical scores instinctively before I knew my ABC's. It was a gift of Providence. I did not acquire it. So I do not even deserve thanks for my music. Do you thank birds for flying in the sky, or do the birds charge you fees for singing in the woods? Music is too sacred to be sold. And the outrageous prices the musical celebrities charge today! Truly, it is a crime against society. Well, I have my own way to solve this problem for myself, and to keep my conscience free from contamination: I never look upon the money I earn as my own. It is public money. It belongs to the public. It is only a fund entrusted to my care for proper disbursement. My beloved wife feels exactly the same way about these things as I do. In all these years of my so-called success in music, we have not built a home for ourselves. Between it and us stand all the homeless in the world. Women Should Wear Enough to Make Bathing Suit for Humming Bird By DR. A. H. C. MORSE, First Baptist Church, Denver. I am neither a prig nor a prude, and I would not have women return to the style of dress that was worn twenty-five years ago; nevertheless, I think that they should at least wear enough to make a creditable bathing suit for a humming bird. If I were asked to point out the dangers or to mark the snares and pitfalls in the highway of youth, first among them I would say a word about the matter of dress. It used to be that clothes were worn for one of two purposes—either to cover the body or to keep one warm; but now, there are instances when there is not enough worn to meet either of these ends. I do not like the extreme cut of evening dress that is worn by women; and I don't believe other men like it, either. I never know where to look. I never know where the women want me to look. And I always feel as guilty as though I had been caught peering into some woman's window at night. It Is Criminal Negligence Not to Swat the Fly in the Springtime By DR. H. N. BUNDESEN, Chicago Health Commissioner. It is criminal negligence to come upon a fly at this season of the year and not swat it. Any one who fails to do it, may be the cause of the coming of other myriads to buzz and carry filth, disease and death through the summer. On April 15, a single over-winter fly lays 120 eggs; on May 1, 120 adults issue, 60 of them females. On May 10, 60 females each lay 120 eggs, and on May 28, 7,200 adults issue, 3,600 of them females. On June 8, the 3,600 females lay and on June 20, 216,000 females issue. These lay on June 30, and on July 10, 25,920,000 adult flies issue, half of them females. When these lay there is an issue of 1,555,200,000; and when the female half of these lay, there follows an issue of 93,312,000,000. From the female half of these there is an issue of 5,598,720,000,000, and adding up the whole buzzing swarm we finally have on September 10. more than five trillion offspring of the one over-the-winter fly. Is there any need for more to be said about why every one should swat every fly? Patriotism Not Something We Can Conveniently Slip Off at Night By GEN. JOHN J. PERSHING, U. S. Army. I would understand that patriotism is not some slip off at night. When war comes and daugh to kindle its embers. But after it is all forget our lack of foresight to meet war. Our never comes again. We may be accused of our thoughts. Advocate a strong army or appropriations for the conception of that would be decried in but I do urge that every American underst and that the government under which he live and if he is worth his salt. We should understand that patriotism is not something we can conveniently slip off at night. When war comes and danger threatens it is easy enough to kindle its embers. But after it is all over and peace is signed we forget our lack of foresight to meet war. I hope war never comes again. We may be accused of militarism, but it is far from our thoughts. I do not advocate a strong army or appropriations for a strong military system—the conception of that would be decried in a democracy such as this—but I do urge that every American understand that he is an American and that the government under which he lives and prospers he must defend if he is worth his salt. WOULD ADD MONTH TO PRESENT YEAR WOULD ADD MONTH TO PRESENT YEAR Suggestion Made for Reform of the Calendar. During the past two years belief in the desirability of simplifying the present calendar has progressed to a point where efforts are being made to bring about an international congress to consider the best way to do this. Prof. C. F. Marvin, chief of the weather bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture, is greatly interested in this movement and advocates that form of simplification which would result in a year based on our present seven-day week as a unit. The year would consist of 13 months of 28 days or exactly four weeks each, and an extra day. The suggestion favored by Doctor Marvin is that this 365th or extra day be given a special name, such as "New Year's Eve" or other equivalent designation, made a world-wide holiday and placed between December 28 and January 1. The extra month, for which a new name must also be invented, would be least likely to upset our present way of calculating, if introduced in midsummer, between June and July. "Leap year day," by whatever name it may be known, would be acceptable as a midsummer holiday every four years. A slight change in the system of establishing century leap years is also recommended. The division of the year into months, which are exact multiples of a seven-day week without a fractional remainder, will greatly simplify the assembling of meteorological data, accounting and paying in business and industry generally, computing interest, and making many financial and other reckonings based on the calendar. Business men are in favor of an exact number of weeks in a quarter, and school terms and recesses could be arranged with much less disturbance to the curriculum than at present. It is believed that there will be no insuperable difficulty in arranging a consideration of the matter by representatives of the Roman, Angelican and Greek and other churches, and leading astronomers, if an international congress or council is called, either through the League of Nations or some independent nation, such as Switzerland or the United States. If such a congress succeeds in taking action before 1928, the nearest year in which January 1 falls on a Sunday under our present system, the change can be instituted without inconvenience. Sweetness From Trees It has just been announced that the existence in British Columbia of sugar-bearing fir trees has now been scientifically established, observes London Tit-Bits. The presence of these trees in that province has for some time been the subject of more than mere conjecture. Two or three years ago it was stated that an American botanist had made exhaustive investigations in the Thompson river valley, and that he had all but satisfied himself that the Douglas fir tree in that locality yields a whitish sugarlike substance in considerable quantities. Recently a settler noticed a similar substance lying on some ground he had just bought. At first he was unable to account for its presence there; then he noticed that it invariably appeared after rain, and the fact caused him to transfer his attention to some trees that grew near by. The trees were specimens of the Douglas fir, and the tops of the branches, he was surprised to find, were laden with a substance which, on being washed off by showers, crystallized like sugar on the ground. The settler then discovered that the Indians had long used the substance for sweetening purposes. New X-Ray Safety Tube The new X-ray tube invented by the famous electrical works of Eindhoven, where over 4,000 men are engaged in the manufacture of electrical instruments, has just been completed, and numbers are arriving in London from Holland. It is a wonderful tube, because it throws out a beam of X-rays in the manner of a little searchlight which can be directed on any given spot, so that no more fear of the dangerous burns produced by stray rays need be felt. The tube is so simple that it can be held in the hand, and the beam of rays can be so finely regulated that absolute uniformity of work is assured. It marks a step forward of enormous importance in the history of X-rays. Northern Hot Springs That ancient volcanoes had something to do with the "lay-put" of western America is evident not only from the wonderful display of mountain scenery in the Rockies and minor ranges. Springs that send out hot water in lessening volume and temperature indicate that there is still some lively action away down inside, and they occur not in one locality alone, but at very considerable distances. Two Tones A young man who had reached the stage at which his voice was changing went into a grocery store. In a deep bass voice he demanded "a sack of flour"; then, his voice suddenly changing to a high pitch, he added "and a pound of coffee." "Just a minute, please," said the clerk; "I can't wait on both of you at once." NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT DAY Estate of Mary Foreman, Deceased. No. 34,369.

DENVER RESPONDS TO APPEAL OF ZION BAPTIST CHURCH Zion Baptist Church has "come back" in the most accepted use of the term, and at the close of its financial rally last Sunday, in which all Denver has taken part, the startling sum of three thousand, forty-three dollars and fifty-five cents ($3,043.55) was reported. The rally was brought to a close midst stirring scenes of joy and enthusiasm, for it is plain Zion has come into her own once more. In this however, fullest praise should be given the broad Christian spirit and unity shown by Denver citizens in general, for friends and members of practically every church in the city has contributed in some manner to the success of this effort. DAILY VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL SUCCESSFULLY CONDUCTED A representative of the COLORADO STATESMAN visited the Daily Vacation Bible School at Shorter Church one day this week and met with a complete surprise both as to the large number in attendance and interest manifested. We must confess to some misgivings about the success of this school when knowledge of it first came to us, but a brief visit is all that is needed to dispel any semblance of doubt. The school is conducted along the most improved lines with Mrs. Josephine Davis Price as principal, and Mrs. Gertie Ross, deputy. The teachers in the various departments are as follows: Primary—Mrs. Nelson, Miss Myra Glenn. Kindergarten—Mrs. Williams, Miss Graham, Miss Jarrett. Griffin, miss officer Handiwork—Miss Rurdine, Miss Payne, Miss Randolph, also Theodore Von Dickersohn. OUR MAN ABOUT TOWN Colorado Statesman Notes Progress Among Our Group The Colorado Statesman went upon its yearly cruise on Saturday of last week and our group's still adding to its Denver real estate holdings and making much progress in every way. What mainly attracted our attention was not so much the extent of our property holdings as was the value, beauty and general improvements to be noted on every hand. We dropped from the "Tram" car at Twenty-fifth and Marion and strolled leisurely on to Twenty-sixth. This block is noted for the number of handsome residences to be found on both sides of the street and almost without exception they are owned by members of our group. The carefully groomed lawns, the neatly trimmed lawns and clean, brightly painted exterior shows a commendable spirit of civic pride that cannot be surpassed by any other group of property owners in Denver. This fact alone should discount any attempt on the part of any one to restrict our home-buying to any particular section of the city. And in this regard it is pleasing to note that we do have possessions in most every part of the city. At 1625 So, Lincoln street resides Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Hammond in a lovely up-to-date home, strictly modern, and in keeping with the general surroundings of that aristocratic neighborhood. Mrs. Hammond has as her guest, Mr. Martin Hawkins, student at Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga. Another residence of attractive points is that of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Fagan, at 2529 Marlon street, which has been entirely remodeled until it is both beautiful and convenient. Mr. Fagan was chief beneficiary of the Basil Hill estate, a recent settlement of which gave $500 to the Negro Woman's Club Home and $300 to a Catholic church. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Scott of 1017 E. Twenty-sixth avenue are to be listed among progressive home owners and are beautifying their residence by addition of a spacious bungalow porch. The home of W. M. Fowler at 1811 Boulder street is another residence to which we can point with much pride. Mr. Fowler is an employee of the Climax Ice Cream Co., and is a thrifty, substantial citizen. Not all the beauty nor all the comforts of home are to be found within the city limits, as a brief visit to the suburban home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Britton will readily disclose. Ideally located on the paved Arvada road, one finds in this country home all that is needed for happiness and ease; fruit in great variety, luscious strawberries in plenty, as well as a wreath of adornment in carefully selected flowers and shrubbery. And so it goes all through the city, wherever you find Negro property owners you find improvement. Small wonder then that tourists coming into Denver are always impressed with the home life and spaciousness of our surroundings. SPECIAL NOTICE Having purchased the Creo Cafeteria and Cafe, located at 2709 Welton St., formerly owned by Mr. Craig, we desire to announce that we are now prepared to give prompt and courteous service to the public.

It is a positive fact that the music of the American Negro is the only Folk Song America has. There is existing in our city a choral organization which is making steady progress in the rendition of music by Negro composers, interspersed with thoseo f older music masters. The organization is open for membership to all who are desirous of obtaining instruction, and help give to the community something worth white.

Braxton, D.D., delivered a most soul-stirring sermon to the immense throng which filled Shorter chapel last Sunday morning. His subject was "The Parallelogram of Love," and his theme the wonderful love of God to man. There were four additions for the day. The Rev. Mr. Braxton is presiding elder of the Clarksdale district of the A. M. E. church, in the Mississippi conference. Dr. A. D. David of Armenia and Hon. E. P. Blakemore were the speakers on the evening program. Dr. David spoke of the Near East Relief work. Mr. Blakemore reported the doings of the late A. M. E. General Conference. The pastor, Rev. A. Wayman Ward, B.D., will occupy the pulpit on this Sunday morning. The Holy Communion will be delivered at both the morning and evening services. Every member and Christian visitor is urged to observe this sacrament at one service. Shorter's choir, known from coast to coast as an outstanding musical organization, will appear in concert at the Sunday evening service. All attendants are asked to be in their seats by 7:45 p. m. to observe the processional. The choir will be assisted and augmented by several accomplished visitors. The class leaders are to be busy during the next few days getting in the Dollar Money. The honor list will be made up of all members and friends who pay their dollar before August 1. The pastor is anxious to meet all his members personally as soon as possible, so urges them to attend both the Friday night class meeting as well as the Sunday services. One of the big annual affairs of the entire church and community is Shorter's summer picnic. This affair will be held at Dome Rock this year. It is the one big opportunity for the townspeople to meet the out-of-town visitors. The pastor and family expect to be domiciled in the parsonage this week, at 220 Twenty-third street. Sunday, July 13, is "Catch Up Sunday." The plea is for all financially delinquent members. DENVER CITIZENS GIVEN PLACES OF HONOR ON N. A. A. C. P. PROGRAM James G. Adams and Carrie S. McClain Speak Before Large Denver's delegates to the fifteenth annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, James G. Adams and Carrie S. McClain, were both given places of prominence on the fine program rendered at the Philadelphia meeting last week. Mr. Adams spoke on "Co-operating With Jews, Catholics and Other Anti-Klan Groups," while Mrs. McClain was given the subject, "Segregation in the Schools." Reports from the convention are that both speakers handled their subjects well. THE DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING CO-FUNERAL NOTICES Stell—W. H.

Japan Leads in Divorces In proportion to population, Japan leads all other countries in the number of divorces. All the brook's a stage, and speckled trout mercury swimmers, and one trout in his time plays many patrols. First Age—At first the Infant under legal size, that oft is captured and to the water not returned. Second Age—Then the Schoolboy at shining morn gobbles down a juicy worm and proceeds to frolic all day long. Third Age—And the Lover, sighing like a furnace, makes a woeful plop at a fluffy fly hovering over the brook. Fourth Age—Then the Soldier, full of strange moods, sudden and fierce in quarrel, seeks a bubble reputation in front of a rod trout. T IS the willow tassel-time of spring and on the pebbly bed of a clear, cold mountain brook is a nest full of eggs placed there by a careful mother in the most ideal situation for the future growth and development of the young infant trout. If you are fortunate enough to be there at the right time T IS the willow tassel-time of spring and on the pebbly bed of a clear, cold mountain brook is a nest full of eggs placed there by a careful mother in the most ideal situation for the future growth and development of the young infant trout. If you are fortunate enough to be there at the right time and peep down, you will observe the tiny infant struggling to get free by splitting open the egg. First to get out into the water is the tail which wags helplessly about until the bulky head is entirely free from the shell in which it has been confined all winter. As yet, the infant is more like a tadpole than a fish, much too weak to search for food. So it is that nature provides a wonderful means of self-feeding by placing on its breast a round sac, or yolk of the egg. For a few weeks the young infant lies helplessly on its side in the pebble sand—"bottle-fed," so to speak, gaining blood and strength till the yolk-sac is empty. During that time the body grows more shaped, the large round eyes seem to shrink, and the infant begins to realize it is time to leave the dark sandy bed of the brook and get some practice with tall and fins in swimming the rippling waters, for it needs to be vigorous and well prepared to enter an independent career. In a little while we see the infant searching round about sticks and stones after bottom creepers—then, more bold, goes swimming with head up upstream after some of the plump little larvae that come drifting down along the surface. The first taste of natural food seems queer to him, but after several trials he likes it so well as to gobble every small creature in sight. His growth is so rapid, that, at two inches long, he becomes aware that he is a desirable tit-bit for the many enemies that surround him who are bent upon his destruction. In addition to his adroitness in the capture of food—he must use skillful cunning to evade capture. We now find the schoolboy trout taking lessons from Dame Nature and his instinct as guides along the dangerous pitfalls of life; after many narrow escapes and adventures he attained the goal of his desire. He is now grown shapely in form, a true Salmo fontinalis, litle and graceful in movement—very different from the infant's abnormal head on a small body. He still wears the dark bars of youth across his sides, which already show the lovely red and blue spots and the cream-colored fins edged in bright orange. His great round baby eyes appear smaller, though grown keen to avert danger, for he no longer haunts the brookside shallows, nearby, where the nodding violets are hanging over the water's edge. He has now become shy indeed, prefers to get away from sunlight and lie under the protecting roots of trees—or beneath a shelving rock from whence he dashes upwards after the wing-cocked insects that float along like miniature yachts on the surface of the stream. His school hours are not limited, his time is fully occupied both night and day for two purposes—evading his enemies, and taking in all the food available. He is now fully aware of the dangerous rod or pole carried by the sharp-eyed wicked boy that creeps through the bushes well supplied with luscious worms to tempt him. A delicious morsel is that wiggling worm, so rarely seen in the rippling water of the brook. He has tried more than once to nip those worms from the curved barb that seems to be fashioned just right to slide down his gullet along with the worms. Once he did manage to gobble one; in a second he found himself yanked out of his water abode, but fortune was kind to let him flop back to the water. It was a narrow squeak and he made a row to take no more chances in the presence of by Louis Rhead Illustrations from Drawings by the Author. In Nature Magazine. boys and their poles, however juicy and nice their worms might taste. Abundance of summer feeding finds the schoolboy trout has grown big and strong. His sides bulge out with healthy roundness, and in troutland—it is not spring—but in the fall "his fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love." He had become dissatisfied with the meager fare of the brooks, and so determined that when the heavy rains of May caused the brook to rise in a roaring flood he would make the venture and run down into the big river for greater freedom and wider space, without serious thoughts as to how the change of environment would affect him—good or bad. When he got there in his travel upstream he soon became aware of entirely new trials and dangers to encounter, for he found all the larger trout in the most desirable situations, savage and distrustful of the handsome young stranger's appearance among them. Driven from one place to another he hardly knew what to do or where to find a snug place to rest and feed. He was mortally afraid of the big fellows, especially the ugly brown trout that showed fierce teeth with which nature had not provided him. . . . Onward he sped, and at last got to a mighty rock, just in the middle of the stream, when the water surged past each side forming a round blanket of white foam on the surface. Just as he was satisfied this would make an ideal haunt to abide, he saw a great trout rushing at a tremendous rate to the river bed, rooting his nose among the pebbles, vainly trying to tear out a barbed fly fast to his upper lip. Failing to get free, the great trout was dashing up for a supreme effort to leap above the surface. . . . The great trout was seen no more by the young, yet startled lover, who at once decided to occupy the now vacant haunt, and take heed the angler did not likewise capture him. Almost every day other fish came to contest the rights of that ideal place, but after many battles, he at last became sole occupant of the pool. In that fruitful place he gorged day and night till the fall of the year when in all his youthful vigor and strength, in brilliant array he left his favorite haunt in search of a mate. The long, cold winter is at hand and the ardent lover has become the parent of six hundred infants whom he will not see—and if he did, would strike among them for a hearty meal. He is now about to change quarters to the bed of a deep pool where the water is least affected by freezing temperature, there to lie dormant with other aquatic denizens, most of the time to be unconscious of any happening, of frost, snowstorms, lee jams, then, at springtime to wake up with advanced ideas of his prowess. No longer the young modest lover, he is very hungry, dominant, ready for a fight, in fact a soldier of fortune flushed in the pride of vigorous adult troushood he awaits with impatience the awakening of aquatic life that comes immediately after the melted snow-water has run down to the sea. Not so lusty as in the fall, his broad shoulders and sides are narrowed down by winter's fast, his appetite craves for more varied diet. With a body fifteen inches long he can take in his maw, with ease, a young muskrat, a four-inch minnow or trout, and would not despise a frog. The pugnacious crawfish that scared him in infantile days would find life very short once he got its tail between his wide taws. On the very day the temperature is just right, he moves away from the dark winter pool, and during the journey upstream he looks keenly about for helgramites and other bottom creatures who, like him, have their spring appetite on keen edge. The river is big, a torrent of rushing muddy water, but he darts onward towards the big rock, his favorite haunt of a season past which he finds to be just the same as of yore. He is familiar with every pebble and stone, curving eddy and cross-current. A bunch of young dace resting quiet from the torrent, in a flash scatter in all directions at his approach. His size, his very demeanor is instant proof their doom is sealed should they linger within reach of his lightning darts. The river soon runs gradually down to its normal size, though insects are still scarce, fighting shy of the cold April blasts, so the only food available are bottom creepers. Halcyon days are near, the lovely month of May ushers in the warm sun, and anglers begin to wade the riverside casting their worms and flies. The bold, yet crafty soldier trout is fully aware of their snakes, for several times has he been nipped yet managed to get free, by inefficient efforts of the angler. One time he made a savage dash at an artificial minnow that was played along the surface by an expert, and got fairly hooked in the lower jaw. Thoroughly angered, he swam at full speed twice around 'the big rock, tightened the line, with a supreme effort leaped above the surface, and cut the line, which immediately obtained his freedom. Hurrying away for a con- siderable distance, he wandered about homeless, with the barbed minnow still fast to his jaw and the line trailing after. For many days that minnow tortured him. At every sharp-edged rock he rubbed and rubbed to get free from the obnoxious hook which at last came off along with a piece of bone and flesh. After many days he returned to his lair again to meet the angler, his rod, and his lures. The fifth age finds our justice domiciled in a very different situation than he occupied as the soldier, more in keeping with his rounded form and jovial disposition. His previous characteristic, impetuosity is replaced by a sedate though wobly dart in trailing his food at night. He has chosen a lair far down the river, where the water is wide, slow-moving and very deep, midst great boulders and rocks. Numerous and varied are the neighbors round about him—large and small chub, many bass swim leisurely by to now and then poach his favorite feeding place, to steal his dace and shiners. Great suckers are everywhere licking the rocks or lying flat on the pebbly bed. Grown extremely wise and solemn the justice never moves while the sun is up; after sundown, when night-moths flicker on the surface, you can perhaps see or hear periodic splashes, a proof that he now dines. It is not a hurried function, but continues throughout the night. All the other denizens of his hair are familiar with his habits and have profound respect for him. His size commands it. The curved hook on his lower jaw has a sinister appearance and the weighty look of his broad shoulders and ponderous belly does not encourage or permit any interference with his actions or feeding, from setting sun till dewy morn. No angler can seduce or tempt him from his abode whatever skill or lures they employ by day at that time. The sixth age ushers in the weakening grandeur of advancing age, whereby gross indulgence pays the penalty. For some cause or other the appetite wanes. Hungry desire no longer tempts him to move from the dark, deep hole he has chosen; lying still the vast bulk begins to dwindle away, the sides shrink to shabbiness and parasites attach themselves to the skin, once so sleek and shiny. . . Last scene of all finds the pantaloon at the foot of a great falls where no angler would imagine a trout would choose to haunt. Under shelving rocks far beneath the boiling water there he lies, solitary and still—day after day, week after week, without friends, without food, a self-imposed prison in semidarkness and gloom. It is lovely springtime, the river is teeming with life and movement, the air is filled with insects sailing up and down, dropping their eggs on the rippling surface of the water. He sees or knows none of it—his fins and tail are still, and like a floating log he lies void of life, except that his great hooked lower jaw moves up and down a wee bit taking in a pitiful remnant of the breath of life. His eyes are lustless and dim, and the colorless leathery skin has patches of painful sores made by the parasites that attack inactive bodies. Heavy rains now flood the river—helpless and weak, his tail and fins have no power to battle against the strong undertow and he is swept along on his side once again into rapid water from his self-chosen watery tomb. Away far down the river is a little boy, holding a willow wand; attached to it is a line and hook baited with a small wriggling worm, fishing without any success for baby trout. The sharp-eyed boy perceives a strange floating object coming downstream; a moment later, the great monster trout with white belly skyward is cast ashore right at his very feet. Washington Sidelights Congress Gets Bill for Summer Study White House. Home of the President Human Body Dislikes High Temperatures Education an Aid to Outdoor Recreation WASHINGTON.—Reorganization of the executive departments of the government, as proposed in the report of the Joint congressional commission, will be considered at the next session of congress. Legislation designed to carry the proposed reorganization into effect was introduced, however, to give members of congress an opportunity to study the plan in the summer. The report recommends the establishment of a new department of education and relief, and opposes the consolidation of the War and Navy departments. Agencies now performing work in the fields of public health, education and the care of veterans would be concentrated in the proposed new department. The other recommendations, briefly summarized, are: Transfer to the Commerce department of the bureau of mines, and the patent office, now in the Interior department, the lake survey office and the inland and coastwise waterways service, now under the War department, and the national advisory committee for aeronautics. Establishment of a bureau of transportation in the Commerce department. Removal from the Treasury department of the bureau of the budget which would be placed directly under the control of the President. Creation of a centralized purchasing agency to be known as the bureau of purchase and supply. Establishment in the Interior depart- CALVIN COOLIDGE, who was born in a humble frame farm house in New England, today is the occupant of a home which costs more than his yearly salary to maintain. If President Coolidge depended upon his salary to run the White House he would be faced with an annual deficit of more than $300,000 Congress, however, has made it possible for others than multimillionaires to hold the exalted office of Chief Executive of the nation. There is an appropriation of $398,410 for running the executive mansion. Of this amount $25,000 is used for traveling and entertaining expenses of the President and is expended on his certificate only. This is equivalent to a salary of $100,000 when added to the $75,000 President Coolidge receives. A glance at the following appropriations will show that congress is a real life-saver for the President: For maintaining the White House establishment in 1925, including the President's allowance, the house committee recommended an appropriation of $398,410. The largest single item in the bill is $93,520, representing the total salaries of thirty-eight White House employees rendering personal service in the office of the President. Included in the list HAT the human body, in a state of rest and in still air, cannot endure indefinitely a tem perature higher than 90 degrees Fahrenheit with 100 per cent relative humidity has been determined by Department of Interior investigators at the Pittsburgh experimental station of the bureau of mines, co-operating with the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers. In the course of the tests it was noted that the heavier and stouter men in the experiments, when subjected to uncomfortably hot temperatures, lost more weight than the lighter and thinner men, but as a rule could endure such temperatures for a longer period and complained less of the exhaustion which followed. Loss of weight in the subjects experimented with gradually increased with an increase in atmospheric temperature. Whenever the subject drank ice water he immediately gained in weight, and in all cases the subject, within 24 hours, usually regained the entire weight lost. Subjects who drank ice water freely after exposure to high temperatures felt no ill effects, tending to disprove the assumption NEED of rallying the educational forces of the country behind any out-of-door program was clearly shown at the sessions of the Outdoor Recreation conference called by President Coolidge. This was brought out by the resolutions submitted by the committees appointed by Theodore Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, who presided at the sessions. For example, the committee on formulation of an educational program for outdoor recreation pointed out the need of an educational campaign to make known and advertise to the American public those facilities in the nature of parks, forests, rivers, lakes, and playgrounds which are available in the future. Going further into the need of marshaling the educational forces of the country this committee's report says: "This special educational committee believes appreciation and love of the outdoors should begin, with every other form of education, in the public and private schools of the land. New York state and California as examples at either end of our nation have built ment of two subdivisions, one charged with the administration of the public domain and the other with the administration of public engineering works. Transfer to the Interior department of the bureau of public roads, now in the Department of Agriculture, and the office of the supervising architect now under the Treasury department. Transfer all departmental solicitors from the Department of Justice to the departments which they serve. Creation of an office of public buildings and parks in the District of Columbia which would assume the functions of the present office of public buildings and grounds, and the office of the superintendent of the State War and Navy department buildings. The report was signed by Senators Smoot, of Utah, and Wadsworth, of New York, and Representatives Mapes, of Michigan, and Temple, of Pennsylvania, all Republicans. Senator Harrison, of Mississippi, and Representative Moore, of Virginia, the Democratic members of the committee, submitted a minority report opposing the majority proposal to transfer the bureau of public roads to the Interior department. The minority report also recommended establishment of an independent prohibition bureau under the immediate control of the President. The Democratic members of the committee asserted administration of the public domain should be transferred to the Agricultural department. of employees rendering personal service are telephone operators, file clerks, social correspondents, doorkeepers, ushers, stenographers, social clerks, social secretaries, messengers and laborers, there being in all something like seventy-five different classes of employees, not counting policemen and detectives. The President's secretary receives the highest salary of any on the list, being allowed $7,500 annually. And while one might think White House laborers receive more than "ordinary" tollers, the rate is about the same; they get $960 a year, which is the lowest on the list. Not so with the President's telephone operators, however; they get the fair stipend of $2,400 annually, which is exactly $400 less than that received by the head usher and head doorkeeper. Two assistant secretaries to the President get $6,000 each, and the chief executive clerk pulls down $5,200, while the next highest paid employee is the chief correspondent, who gets $3,300. Congress makes ample provision for police protection at the executive mansion, $55,540 of the total White House expenditures going for the employment of thirty-three policemen and detectives. An additional $3,350 is provided for their uniforms and equipment. that such action develops severe cramps. It was found that the exhaustion and weakness following subjection of human beings to a very high temperature and humidity for a short period is not so severe as subjection to a moderately high temperature and humidity for a longer period. The pulse rate, rather than the rise in body temperature, apparently determines the extent of the discomfort experienced by the subject. Subjects became very uncomfortable after the pulse rate exceeded 135 pulsations per minute, and complained of unbearable and distressing symptoms when the pulse exceeded 160 per minute. The highest pulse rate recorded was 184 per minute. Subjection to high temperatures and humidities produced no marked change in the respiratory rate. The health, comfort and efficiency of men engaged in the mining industry may be impaired, in some instances very seriously, by abnormal physical conditions of mine air or by variations in its composition. Thi$^{a}$ is true in some of the metal mines of the West, where high temperatures with varying humidities are encountered. up and fostered a greater appreciation of their outdoor facilities through the introduction of nature study as a part of their regular school curricula. Thus they have encouraged and stimulated an appreciation of nature together with an independence and originality of thought which makes for love of the outdoors and for the foundation of better citizenship. The educational committee urges upon the national conference the passage of a definite resolution endorsing school nature study and the extension of the nature study idea for every American school and every American family. "This committee equally endorses the splendid nature study courses offered by many public libraries, museums and camps and recommends that all institutions of this character should follow the excellent example already set. It is urged that modern and up-to-date books and magazines on natural history subjects be used, as the advance of science has demonstrated the error of many previous so-called authorities." The Kitchen Cabinet Now that the field mushroom is again found in abundance, let us have some delicious dishes. Creamed Mushrooms. Remove the stems from the caps, peel the caps and cut into small pieces; the tender stems should be cut into bits. Put two tablespoonfuls of butter into a bright saucepan, add a pint of Creamed Mushrooms. Remove the stems from the caps, peel the caps and cut into small pieces; the tender stems should be cut into bits. Put two tablespoonfuls of butter into a bright saucepan, add a pint of minced mushrooms and stir and cook for five minutes until the mushrooms are well-scaled through; now add one-half cupful of cream and serve on buttered toast piping hot. Mushrooms With Scrambled Eggs. —Break into small pieces a pint of fresh mushrooms; sprinkle with salt and let stand one-half hour. Into a saucepan put two tablespoonfuls of butter, add the mushrooms and juice and cook at a simmering temperature for ten minutes. Season with pepper and more salt if needed, then add the yolks of five eggs slightly beaten, mix well, then fold in the beaten whites and serve on hot buttered toast. Broiled Mushrooms.—Take the nice firm caps of the field mushroom, peel them and remove the stems. Into each cup put a generous tablespoonful of butter, place them under the gas flame in a broiler and cook until tender. If the caps are large, broil them first on the rounded side, turn and fill with butter and finish broiling. Season with salt and pepper and serve on toast or with broiled steak. Parsley Potatoes.—Take uniform-new potatoes, boil in their jackets until tender, then peel and turn into a vegetable dish in which three tablespoonfuls of butter and one of minced parsley has been placed. Stir until the potatoes are well covered with butter and parsley and serve very hot with steak. Vegetable Salad.—Soak two tablespoonfuls of gelatin in one-half cupful of cold water, then add one-half cupful of boiling water, a teaspoonful of salt, red pepper to taste, a teaspoonful of onion juice, one-fourth cupful of vinegar, one cupful each of diced carrots and cooked peas. Turn into molds and chill. Serve on lettuce with mayonnaise dressing. The things that haven't been done before Are the tasks worth doing today? Are you one of the flock that follow or Are you one that shall lead the way? Are you one of the timid souls that quail At the jeers of a doubting crew, Or dart you, whether you win or fall. Strike out for a goal that's new? WHAT TO HAVE FOR DINNER A meal which does not meet the needs of the body is not an economi- is not an economically prepared meal, although, if the meals are balanced, the result is the same. COOKED MEAT Hamburger Steak. — Do not buy the chopped meat, but get a piece of round, with some suet, or a bit of pork, and put it through the meat grinder; season well with salt and pepper and a pinch of clove. Form into a large flat cake and broil under the gas, turning until it is well cooked. Serve with baked potatoes. Stuffed Onions.—Parboll large-sized onions until soft enough to remove the centers, leaving a cavity to hold the filling. Chop the onion taken from the center, mix with any chopped meat—sausage or chopped nuts, bread crumbs and seasoning. Fill the centers, pour around a good beef broth or water with butter. Bake until the onions are tender, basting occasionally with the broth from the pan. Just before taking from the oven put a spoonful of well-buttered crumbs on top of each and brown under the gas flame. Lettuce Salad With Mayonnaise.—To prepare the mayonnaise paint one egg until light, then add a pint of good oil. Add the oil a little at a time at first, then, when a few tablespoonfuls are added, it may be poured on in larger quantities, beating well after each addition. After the oil is all used add lemon juice, salt, cayenne, sugar and mustard, if liked. Put away in the ice chest in a mason jar. This will be good as long as it lasts. Serve on lettuce, sprinkled with chopped peanuts. Chicken Baked in Cream.—Clean and prepare a fowl for frying. Roll the well-seasoned pieces in flour and place in a hot pan with three table-spoonfuls of butter. Sprinkle well with paprika if liked and pour over a cupful of sweet cream. Cover and bake until the chicken is tender. Remove the cover before taking from the oven and brown the chicken well. Serve with a highly-seasoned sauce. A nut roast is well liked using the ingredients and seasonings as for meat and substituting nuts in place of it. Baste during its baking with tomato. Such a loaf should be served with a good sauce rich with butter. Refrigerator Is Convenient in Rural Districts. Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture. Cold air, cool water, and heat-tight containers are the chief aids in keeping foods cold in rural districts, or wherever it is impossible to obtain ice, says the United States Department of Agriculture. The principle of using cold air is illustrated in the window box, the cellar shaft, and the storage cave. The most convenient kind of window box fits on the window ledge close up to the window, preferably on the north side of the house. It should be made dust and fly proof and must allow for ventilation. The air in the cellar is cool and may be used for cooling foods, provided the cellar is clean, ventilated, and screened to keep out files. Open the windows and doors every day, or in very hot weather every night, to allow cool, fresh air to enter. A north room in the cellar with well-insulated walls is good for general stor ```markdown ``` An Iceless Refrigerator. age. A dumb-waiter leading down from the pantry or kitchen adds to the convenience of a cellar storeroom. A shaft made of wood and plaster and extending from the cellar through the roof is another device utilizing the cool air of the cellar. This is particularly adapted to a cool, dry climate. Wire or perforated shelves are fitted into the shaft at convenient heights where it passes through the kitchen or pantry, and here is also a door opening from the shaft. As the air in the upper part of the shaft grows warmer, the cool air from the cellar is drawn up. This constant upward movement of colder air cools the food on the shelves. Where there is no suitable cellar the shaft may open through the wall of the house just above the ground. Both ends of the shaft should be screened. A cave dug in the side of a hill maintains a fairly low temperature. It should be lined with cement, brick, or some other dry, clean material; it should have a well-fitted door or possibly a double door; and it should have some means of ventilation. Water helps to cool food in various ORANGES WILL SUPPLY A bowl of cereal and a mug of coffee. Orange Juice Is Excellent for Breakfast. Oranges were never better in flavor or sweetness than they are this season. There are many small ones on the market, purchasable for a lower relative price than the large sizes. They are just as good for most household purposes as bigger ones, and are more economical. Orange juice and oranges may be introduced into the menu in so many different ways that the family will not tire of them. For the children oranges are a valuable food, supplying necessary vitamins in an acceptable form. orange juice to an hour out the contents of or the rind a basket this with the jelly wit it. Orange tarts or oting sliced oranges in Orange cake filling a delicious when made fruit juice. The U partment of Agric following directions uncooked orange icing Oranges may be cut, or pure orange juice may be served in glasses for breakfast. Orangeade, punch, or any fruit beverage in which orange predominates, is suitable for lunch, at afternoon or evening gatherings, at card parties, dances, or sociables. Give the children orangeade made from pure orange juice when they come in, hot and thirsty, from play. Mixed Fruit Gelatin. Use pure orange juice for making orange gelatin or any of the mixed fruit gelatins. A dainty way to send ways. Food may be kept cool by placing the dish in cold water and changing the water as it becomes warm. In moderate weather such treatment keeps milk sweet and butter firm for a considerable time. Foods hot from the fire may be cooled in this way before they are put into the ice chest. Water as it evaporates absorbs heat. This fact is taken advantage of in keeping food cool by wrapping the dish in a cloth saturated with water and also in the iceless refrigerator. In cooling by the evaporation of water, the quicker the evaporation the more heat absorbed and the lower the temperature. Quick evaporation depends upon a good draft of dry air; in damp, muggy weather these devices do not work well. Farmers' Bulletin 927, Farm Home Conveniences, gives directions for making iceless refrigerators. An unglazed earthenware flowerpot inverted in a dish of water makes a miniature iceceless refrigerator, convenient where only small amounts of food need to be cooled. There are now on the market similar porous coolers specially adapted to cover a milk bottle. The unglazed earthenware water coolers used in some hot countries work on the same principle, cooling the water by evaporation through the pores in the earthenware. A house or box built over a spring or brook is another contrivance for keeping foods cool. A well may be used for cooling foods. If it is one used to supply drinking water, great care must be taken not to let food fall into the water. An extra well may be used for the purpose. Heat-tight containers keep small amounts of food cool. Fireless cookers and vacuum-jacketed bottles are well insulated and close tightly so that the temperature in them changes very slowly. They may be used for keeping foods cool as well as hot. Chill foods thoroughly before putting them into the containers. If a little ice is put into the well of a fireless cooker, the food will remain cool longer. Crushed ice also aids in chilling the contents of a vacuum-jacketed bottle, but it must be put in carefully to avoid cracking the fragile lining. Boiled Chicken Can Be Served on Shortcake Cook the less tender chickens by boiling, suggests the United States Department of Agriculture. It is best to disjoint the chicken when it is to be prepared in this way. Pinefeathers, the oil sac, and surplus fat should be removed and the fine hairs singed. After being well washed the parts may be put immediately into boiling water sufficient to cover them and seasoned to taste with salt and pepper. Many cooks consider that a clove of garlic in the stewing water gives an almost imperceptible flavor, which improves the flatness of ordinary boiled chicken. A small onion is sometimes made to answer the same purpose, but too much onion destroys the delicate flavor of the chicken. After it has been cooked until tender, boiled chicken may be prepared for the table in a variety of ways. It may be fricasseeed in a gravy made from the chicken stock, or served en casserole. If removed from the bones it may be served in a cream sauce on toast, or in patty shells. It may be used for chicken salad. Croquettes of minced cooked chicken are good, as is chicken hash on toast. A very good way to serve creamed boned chicken or chicken in gravy is on split biscuits or "short-cake." orange jelly to an invalid is to scoop out the contents of one orange, leaving the rind a basket shape, and to fill this with the jelly when ready to mold it. Orange tarts or other ways of serving sliced oranges in custard are good. Orange cake filling and iceing is always delicious when made with the pure fruit juice. The United States Department of Agriculture gives the following directions for making an uncooked orange iceing: Orange Icing 1% cupfuls sugar Pinch salt 1 egg white, beaten stiff Add the water to the egg white and beat until stiff. Gradually add nearly all the sugar, beating with a spoon. Then add the grated orange rind, the orange and lemon juice and the remainder of the sugar and beat all smooth.

A buffet spread is a very popular way of serving breakfast. The following dishes are suggestive of many which may be prepared at home. Supreme of Duckling—Take the breasts and second joints of uncooked duckling, remove the meat and chop very fine. Add four eggs, one at a time, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Add one and one-half cupfuls of thick cream, salt, pepper and a little onion juice to season. Turn into buttered timbale molds, cover with buttered paper, place in a pan of hot water and bake about thirty minutes in a moderate oven. Serve with: Bechamel Sauce.—Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add three tablespoonfuls of flour, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt, a few grains of pepper, one-half cupful of chicken stock well-seasoned, and one-half cupful of top milk. Stir and cook until smooth and well-cooked. Gelatin of Capon.—Bone a capon and remove and discard all the dark meat. Cut the breast in halves lengthwise push wing and leg skin inside. Cover the skin from which the dark meat has been removed with breast meat. Fill with forcemeat, draw the skin over the forcemeat; tie in a double thickness of cheesecloth and steam over the bones and dark meat. Remove, put into a pan and cover with a weight over night. Take the cloth from the capon, remove the skin and cover with Chandhuf sauce. When stiff and firm garnish with truffles into fancy shapes and coat with aspic jelly. Chaudfroid Sauce.—Melt one tablespoonful of butter, add one and one-half tablespoonfuls of flour, and when smooth add one half-cupful of white stock, one egg yolk slightly beaten, one tablespoonful of cream, one-half tablespoonful of lemon juice. Dissolve a teaspoonful of gelatin softened in cold water in a very little hot water; add to the first mixture. Season to taste and use with the gelatin of capon. Almond Horseradish Sauce.—Blanch and chop fine two dozen almonds. Press the vinegar from four tablespoonfuls of fresh horseradish, season with salt and red pepper, add the almonds and two tablespoonfuls of thick, sweet cream whipped. Mix well and serve with the fish.

A DESSERT FOR EVERY DAY On Sunday, ice cream and cake, with a nice sauce of some kind for the ice cream, will be a most acceptable dessert for a warm day, or apple pie a la mode is another that is never refused. ... On Monday, if that is the busy day, when the laundry work is attended to in the home, if it is a warm day, serve fresh fruit and cookies. Easy to prepare, and cookies should always be in the supply cupboard. If the day is not too warm the following pudding will be acceptable: Fifteen-Minute Pudding.—Into one cupful of flour, sifted with a teaspoonful of baking powder and one-half teaspoonful of salt, stir one-half cupful of rich milk, or enough to make a drop batter. Grease custard or pudding molds and drop in a spoonful of the batter, then add a spoonful of juicy cherries, either fresh or canned; another spoonful of batter, and set the cups in a pan; pour around enough boiling water to steam them without boiling up into the cups. Cover closely and boil for fifteen minutes without uncovering. Serve unmolded, with sugar and cream. On Tuesday have a lemon or cream pie. On Wednesday a delicious pudding may be prepared as follows: Sponge Pudding—Take one-third of a cupful of flour, one-quarter of a cupful of sugar; mix well and add to one cupful of milk and cook until smooth and thick. Cool, after adding a tablespoonful of butter, and add three well-beaten egg yolks, then fold in the stiffly-beaten whites and pour into a pudding dish; set in hot water and bake until lightly browned—about twenty minutes. Serve with a sauce prepared with two tablespoonfuls of softened butter, one cupful of powdered sugar, creamed together, then add whipped cream and flavoring to make a creamy sauce. Thursday have a gelatin jelly with fruit, served with cream. Friday, a short cake with berries—straw or raspberries—and Saturday serve a custard. 3 The St. Rose Branch of the Holy Name Society, Springfield, Kentucky the oldest Colored Holy Name Society in the United States.
