SUBSCRIBE FOR THE ONLY RELIABLE PEOPLE'S PAPER IN COLORADO "THE COLORADO STATESMAN" THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY NEW ECONOMIC PROGRAM OF THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE PRAISED BY NATION'S PRESS VOL. XXX A NEW era for Negro business opened with quiet certainly on June 6, 1924, with the organization of the National Negro Finance Corporation, with an authorized capital of one million dollars, in New York City with Dr. R. R. Moton, president of the National Negro Business League and principal of Tuskegee Institute, as president. The prime object of the organization is to encourage Negroes throughout the United States in opening or improving business concerns of the race. The immediate and appreciative sentiment of the Negro public at this progressive step by a group of our most successful business men is reflected in the assertion of the Norfolk Journal and Guide that "The fact that we have ten corporations with resources of $20,000,000 representing withal only a fraction of the wealth of the race, and that they could organize a finance organization with a capital of $1,000,000 is a significant and gratifying fact which none of us could have dreamed as possible at the organization of the National Negro Business League at Boston in 1900." The New York Amsterdam News states that "something constructive, concrete and progressive threats to come out of the National Negro Business League; something as important and as necessary as the institution which forms the background for both" and adds, "Associated with Mr. Moton are some of the most successful Negro business men in America—men who have succeeded in two of the most difficult fields of endeavor, banking and insurance." Says the New York Age, "a practical step has been taken, under the auspices of the National Negro Business League, to further the development of business enterprises among the race and so put into action the doctrine which the League has advocated since its formation. This," it continues, "is the most practical and effective way so far proposed to promote the growth of business enterprises among the race." The Dallas Express avers that "the nation will applaud the vision of these capitalists and those heads of the National Negro Business League who have had done this latest thing. Its successful incorporation will mean that the hope of the survival of Negro business ventures has been increased by many fold." And, remarks the Charlotte (N.C.) Observer, "Negroes broadened their ambition and gave indication of a growing condition of independence." A welcome challenge to the business acumen and the functioning of the corporation is contained in the editorial comment of the Pittsburgh American that "the possibilities and need are there in a corporation of this nature and it is for the executives selected to function so that this undertaking might exist not only in name, but carry out the purposes for which it has been formed." "Service and conservation will be the keynote of the National Finance Corporation," Dr. Moten has announced for this association, which is recognized conclusively as arising from the need of the times. It is confidently claimed by those who know that but the best results and most successful, far-reaching effects upon the economic future of the Negro can follow this broad, purposeful concern. And indeed, as the Norfolk Journal and Guide says again, "In every department of human thought and effort the race is making good. It has every encouragement to take heart of hope aid to keep on a-coming." Broader, bigger—unlimited business opportunities are made possible for the Negro through the NATIONAL NEGRO FINANCE CORPORATION. N. A. A. C. P. to Hold First Great FarWest Meet in Denver, 1925 Denver, Colorado, is to be the scene of the first great Far-Western Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to be held in June of 1925, it was announced today. The Denver delegates to the N. A. A. C. P. Conference in Philadelphia brought a cordial invitation from their city. It is expected that delegates from California, Oregon, Wyoming, Montana and other far-western states in greater numbers than ever before, will be able to attend the 16th Annual Conference of the N. A. A. C. P. in Denver. Bishop Vernon Is Assigned to Indiana Bishop Vernon Is Assigned to Indiana Philadelphia, Pa., July 11.—(By Associated Negro Press)—The death of Bishop Levi J. Coppin so soon after the general conference left the important 4th district embracing Chicago without an Episcopal head. The entire Chicago and Illinois delegation attended the Coppin funeral here and the Bishops council later presenting a petition that Bishop A. J. Carey be assigned to the 4th district. Bishop Coppin's last letter said to have contained this same request. Owing to the heavy demands of the important work with which Bishop Carey has been intrusted by the council he declined the nomination retaining the 5th district. The 4th district was divided between Bishop A. L. Gaines and Bishop Vernon, the former taking the Chicago and Northern Illinois and the later the Southern Illinois and Indiana districts. State Hist & Nut Hist Society State House CHARLES W. WATERMAN ISSUES MANIFESTO FOR SHORT TERM UNITED STATES SENATE CHARLES W. WATERMAN ISSUES MANIFESTO FOR SHORT TERM UNITED STATES SENATE THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN CHARLES W. Waterman, prominent Denver lawyer, manager of President Coolidge's campaign in Colorado and for several years a leader in Republican politics, issued his manifesto this week as an aspirant for the United States Senate to fill the term left vacant by the death of Senator Samuel D. Nicholson. Popularly known as the Attorney of the West, Mr. Waterman has always surrounded himself with that class of citizens that stand for good government and the preservation of the rights of the people and being recognized as one of the ablest lawyers of the country, his advice is always sought by the administrators of both state and city government to successfully carry out a program agreeable and acceptable to all the people, irrespective of racial or religious ties. His platform is identical with President Coolidge and he emphatically declares his unswerving devotion to the Republican party and all Republican principles. Born in Waitsfield, Vermont and a graduate of the Universities of Vermont and Michigan, qualifying at the latter for his degree Bachelor of Laws, Mr. Waterman practiced in Michigan and afterwards came to Colorado, where he was admitted to the bar here in 1889. He was a partner in the firm of Wolcott, Vaile and Waterman, becoming famous for their successful handling of some of the most important legal battles fought out in the West. Mr. Waterman now comes to the people of Colorado with a desire and willingness to serve them in the capacity of United States Senator, giving the assurance that the implicit confidence placed in him for nearly forty years shall not be shaken, and as a man who does things he will endeavor to devote his time, brain and energy to the service of the people of these United States and especially to enhance the interests of Colorado. In his words: "If the Republicans of Colorado believe in a comprehensive reform in our fiscal system and reduced taxation; a lowered cost of living; an economical but effective administration of the affairs of government; maintenance of peace and good order; strict enforcement of all laws; stabilization of the agricultural industry of the country upon a sound and profitable basis; sustained and remunerative employment for all our people; full liberty of action to every citizen within the limits of the constitution and the law; equal rights, privileges and opportunities for all men and women everywhere, and, generally, an unyielding support of the Coolidge politics, I respectfully solicit their support, because I am, unflinchingly, in full accord with all these things. "My platform is Calvin Coolidge and the things for which he stands." Knowing Mr. Waterman for many years to be a member of this community who advocates a square deal for all the people, and being closely associated with him in Republican politics the COLORADO STATESMAN can with emphasis declare that no better person can be chosen at this time to represent the people of Colorado and we hope the Assembly at the City Auditorium here on Wednesday, Aug. 6, will do honor to itself by insuring for the Republicans the nomination of Mr. Waterman, thereby helping to make secure his election in November. We fully endorse and support his candidacy, believing he will be true to his constituency and maintain with dignity the platform he stands on. CO-OPERATION IS NECESARY TO PROGRESS William Pickens Tells Social Workers TORONTO, CANADA. — "In the United States the Negro population is redistributing itself," began William Pickens in an address here June 26 before the conference of social workers. "It is to be no longer a factor of a section but a national factor in every sense. The race problem is not now, if needed it ever was, solely a problem of the South; it is a problem, and the most vital problem, of the United States of America. "I am a Southerner, and I want to confess that the chief thing the South has to teach the nation in the matter of dealing with the Negro is what not to do. Now that the problem is moving out all over the nation a study of the Southern method of dealing with the problem for 300 years will teach the rest of us what to avoid. "The race problem has not been solved in the South; it has been developed there. Verily, then, we should not hope to solve the problem by Southern methods. We must seek other methods—in some cases the opposite methods. "If the methods used by the South could ever be reduced to one word, that word would be 'segregation.' That involves for the Negro separate and inferior schools, Jim Crow cars, unconstitutional disfranchisement, lynch law for court processes, refusal of admission to or inferior accommodations in all shows and cultural entertainments, in many places no public parks or public libraries, and a general denial of equal accommodation in public places and equal humanhood in the society of man. This system has solved no problem. This system can never solve any problem. This system is the problem factory and will continue to be until the end of the system. "We must substitute for this system community interests for the Negro. We must cease the abortive effort to encyst him; we cannot successfully encyst him; we must assimilate him. Blood assimilation is not necessary—not an end to be proposed at any rate. But there must be full assimilation in civil culture and in civil processes; in industry, in economics, in education, in politics." We Have Identical Interests "The minority race and the majority race occupying the same territory are indissolubly bound to the same destiny, and they have one set of interests, even if they are not friendly, Warfare between them is like the World War; everybody loses. The best interests of the 10,000,000 or 15,000,-000 Negroes in the United States will be found in the end of every effort to be identical with the best interests of the 90,000,000 or more of the white race there. "On a platform of justice and equality the two larger racial groups in this country, and all the minor groups, can afford to take their stand. Men speak volubly of maintaining racial superiority or hegemony, as if indeed it were wiser to pursue racial policy than to pursue human justice. Nothing in human history indicates that a race or a nation or an individual must fear to do justice or that justice was ever poor policy for a people. But history NO. 40. is full of lessons that teach the folly of abandoning those wise policies and sound principles that were born of the collective experience of man. Some reason thus: We have to maintain a certain race stock; to maintain that stock we must segregate, and when segregation is inconsistent with justice, we must do injustice. But we cannot prove the soundness of this chain of reasoning. Even the first proposition is a mere assumption. For how do we know that it is the final, the best, the last and the greatest thing to maintain any of the race stocks as we know them today? All the races as we know them are but the resultants of former unions, combinations and crosses. If former unions have produced something so excellent, how do we know that further union may not produce something more excellent still? But one thing we do know: That we of the present generation can combine our talents without uniting our blood. If we make civilization our common contribution we will all have more civilization. God has endowed the human race with more talents than He gave to any one geographical race. Our talents vary; our powers may vary. The man of five talents has five talents and the fruits of five talents; the man of two talents has two talents and the fruits of two talents. But if these two men ever get wise and make a common cause, both will enjoy the fruits of seven talents. The white American and the black American can have more civilization through co-operation than either one could have alone, whatever their respective talents may be. Segregation in public and industrial activities and life implies and breeds contempt and makes injustice inevitable. The private right of any citizen in a free country to exclude other private persons from his private domain will always be maintained, but racial segregation in public and industrial estates is indefensible, politically and economically." BOULDER, COLO., NEWS There was preaching at both churches Sunday and at the evening service at the Baptist church a program was rendered. Some of the teachers who are attending University taking part as well as local talent. There was a good crowd out. Allen Chapel's Sunday School is giving a tea Tuesday evening, the 15th. A good crowd is expected. The exhibit and bazaar given by one of the $1,000 clubs, Mrs. A. C. Murphy, president, on the night's of the 8th and 9th was a fair success. Mrs. Mary White and Mrs. Clark had charge of the ice cream, lemonade and cake booth and Miss Charline Wharton and Miss Ruth Caves had charge of the sandwich booth. Mr. Anthony Morrison's bungalow is progressing nicely. Mr. James Chrysler spent the week end in Boulder, returning Sunday night. Mrs. Hettie Ridgeway is spending the summer with her mother an father Mr. and Mrs. Dirvin. FOREIGN Authoritative advices say the Brazilian revolutionists in Sao Paulo have won fresh victories over the government troops. According to these advices, the government forces have been badly defeated. Kalgan, province of Chihli, the largest commercial center north of Peking, has been destroyed in part by a flood along the Yangho river. The damage to the city is unofficially estimated at $1,000,000. In South America, the largest tin organization in the southern hemisphere has been formed by Chilean and Bolivian interests. They have put in about $30,000,000 of capital and will have an estimated output of 25,000 metric tons. Great satisfaction was expressed throughout British officialdom over the results of Prime Minister MacDonald's visit to Paris and confidence seemed to be felt that the allied conference on reparation would open soon. 'Heat so intense that it has been described as "a wave of fire" has been sweeping the widespread vineyard districts near Algiers during the last few days and has been badly burning the heavy winegrap rape crop. The thermometer registered as high as 149 degrees Fahrenheit. The United States government has officially informed the League of Nations at Geneva that It cannot adhere to the draft of the treaty of mutual assistance which the fourth assembly of the league voted should be circulated among all the governments with the request for expression of their views. Prime Minister MacDonald told the House of Commons that he understood from conversations with Premier Herriot of France and others that if an American were appointed to the reparations commission to safeguard the creditors of the £40,000,000 loan to Germany, "France would undoubtedly insist that the extra appointee to the commission should have his purpose confined to safeguarding creditors of the loan, although he would be allowed to speak and to vote." Houston, Texas, will be the scene of the 1925 international advertising convention. This place was the unanimous choice of the board of club presidents at the meeting in London and it was given approval by the general meeting of the delegates as it was the only city placed before the convention. Lou Holland was the choice of the board for re-election as president of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World for next year and Jesse H. Neal was also nominated for re-election as secretary-treasurer. GENERAL Ceremonies in Chicago of notifying Gen. Charles G. Dawes of his nomination to the vice presidency August 19 will include an old-fashioned torchlight procession. Federal authorities in New York considered libelling the Italia-America liner Duilio, after a $400,000 narcotics raid at her pier and the arrest of nine of her crew. Within a few yards of the Houston (Texas) municipal golf course fairway, upon which a few twosomes and four-somes still lingered, John Kendrick and his wife shot themselves in a suicide pact. Preliminary to a campaign in Maryland for Senator Robert M. La Follette for president, a state-wide convention of delegates of all the progressive political organizations in Maryland has been called for August 3 in Baltimore. Albert B. Full pleaded not guilty, waived preliminary hearing and refused to make any comment whatever when he was arraigned before United States Commissioner Schmid at El Paso on charges growing out of indictments returned by a special grand jury in the District of Columbia. Nearly 900 persons were taken into custody or given summons to appear in court in violation of traffic ordinances in Chicago during forty-eight hours in the "safety or sorrow" campaign instituted by the police department. The majority of those who appeared in court were charged with speeding. While his mother watched him, George Speckt, 9 years old, of New York, took a silver colored ball-about six inches in diameter, placed it on a chopping block and hit it with an ax. The ball, a fireworks bomb, exploded and George was killed instantly. His chum, Walter Rokleski, also 9, who was standing by his side, died ten minutes later. The courtesy which prompted Dr. Sentaro Honda of Japan, director of the Buddahist Salvation League, to travel 8,000 miles to deliver a message of friendship from his league to President Coolidge, prompted him to return to his home without even asking an interview of the President. In a letter to the executive he expressed his message and stated that commiseration for the President's grief made is impossible for him to intrude. Silk consumption in the United States has increased sixty-five times over in the last fifty years, according to a report made public by the Real Silk Institute of Chicago and Indianapolis. The report covers a research study of silk production and consumption since 1874. Contemplating the purchase of large tracts of land, hundreds of Japanese residents of California may establish a colony in the Missouri Ozarks according to Hiroshi Nakamura, a lawyer of Los Angeles, who has spent several days in that section inspecting land.

Decision against the Washington Water, Light and Power Company in the $1,000,000 suit in equity brought against it by the Equitable Trust Company of New York and the Guarantee Bank and Trust Company of New York and others, was announced by Judge J. Stanley Webster in Superior Court at Spokane. Under the decree the several properties of the power company will be sold as separate units under the mortgages held against them. Charles W. Dorris of Long Beach, was indicted by the county grand jury at Los Angeles on two counts on first degree murder. The indictment charged Dorris with murder on June 30 of his wife, Therese Dorris, and Henry D. Meyer, wealthy Pasadena resident.

Three hundred and twenty-two thousand four hundred and eight dollars, reported to be the largest judgment ever awarded in the Bozeman District Court, was taxed against Richard T. Ringling, prominent ranchman and showman, by a jury in Bozeman, Mont., at the conclusion of the suit of Hans Biering and M. S. Cunningham against Ringling. The plaintiffs had sued for $546,000 as damages for an alleged conspiracy on the part of the defendant to force the plaintiffs out of the Southern Montana Livestock Company. WASHINGTON Harry F. Sinclair, lessee of Teapot dome, under indictment for contempt of the Senate in refusing to, answer questions of the oil committee, will ask the District of Columbia Court of Appeals for a special appeal from a decision recently sustaining his indictment. The Wyoming & Colorado Short Line Railway Company applied to the Interstate Commerce Commission for authority to construct a 380-mile line from Casper, Wyo., southwest, to the Colorado-Utah state line. The new line would traverse an unserved cattle territory, oil and gas sections, iron and coal fields and a lumber region. Twenty-one hundred income tax refunds totaling $46,000, provided for by the new revenue law as 25 per cent. reductions on 1923 incomes, were mailed out recently by the Treasury Department. Acting Secretary of the Treasury Winston announced that sixty days would be required to make the total refunds, totaling 1,058,000, which aggregate a sum of $16,000,000.

Boulder.—The annual meeting of the Colorado Library Association will be held in Boulder Sept. 11, 12 and 13. Rocky Ford.—The annual picnic of the employees of the American Beet Sugar Company at the factory grounds was largely attended. Boulder.—Prof. Frank L.

Estes Park.—Boy Scout executives from all parts of the United States are to be in Estes Park, September 6 to 15, for their biennial conference, which the committee in charge is planning to make better than its predecessors. Some of the leading men of the United States in scout work and scoutcraft will take part along with prominent men in the world of religion, business and nature study. Denver.—Drainlayers were granted a 50-cent a day increase, effective Aug. 1, by the State Industrial Commission following a conference in the office of the commission between master plumbers and workmen. The increase was a compromise, the Drainlayers' union at first demanding $1 a day increase over their present wage of $0.50 per day. Cheyenne Wells.—Mayor J. E. Hayes of Cheyenne Wells was struck by lightning and killed instantly just north of the town during a violent electrical storm which swept virtually all of Cheyenne and Ki'j Carson counties. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS Denver,—According to report of the U. S. Department of Labor, the surplus of transient labor, chiefly from the west coast, has quite fully supplied all additional demands for seasonal labor requirements. A major portion of the existing migratory laborers are continuing to the mid-western agricultural states for work in harvesting. Demands for general farm labor are gradually increasing with competent workers scarce. Haying, now beginning the immediate harvesting of wheat in eastern and northern Colorado and work on other agricultural crops bring additional strong demands for farm workers. Metal mining is moderately active and coal mining is on a part-time basis, as is usual at this season of the year. Oil developments are increasing, and many wells have recently been spudded in; labor supply sufficient. Practically all industrial plants, particularly those manufacturing meat products, mining machinery, sheet-metal products, and building materials, are operating steadily and to capacity. General construction, including the six-mile Moffat railway tunnel, the Boulder lake electrical power project, the flood conservancy project at Pueblo, and the exceptionally large programs of street paving and water system at Denver are providing employment for many hundreds of workers. Railway-shop employment continues on a curtailed basis. Brighton.—Frank Seymour, 41, of 1118 West Forty-first avenue, Denver, was arraigned in Justice of the Peace Court at Brighton on assault and battery charges as the result of a fight that occurred eight miles north of Denver in Adams county, Sheriff L. H. Miller announced. Patrick Brown, 55, of the same Denver address, is in serious condition at a local hospital as the result of a beating he is alleged to have received at the hands of Seymour. Mrs. Gertrude Shaffer, 34, of 1118 West Forty-first avenue; Mrs. Cora Loteman, 48, of 3850 Fox street, and Matt Minton, 57, of West Fortieth avenue and Zuni street, other members of the quintet, also received slight bruises in the fight, according to Sheriff Miller. The five left Denver in an automobile. Seymour was driving, when a trivial argument started, it was said. Seymour stopped the car and all members of the party stepped out into the road. According to Mrs. Shaffer's story of the affair, Seymour is said to have knocked Brown down and kicked him. Minton and the two women tried to take Brown's part, and Seymour, it is alleged, turned on them, too. Golden.—Carl C. Bell of 1349 California street, Denver, and J. E. Bright, who gave his address as San Francisco, were arrested on complaint of Mrs. M. Bond that they had fraudulently obtained money from her by representing themselves to be soliciting subscriptions for magazines. According to Mrs. Bond they appeared at her home, near Mount Olivet cemetery on the Golden-Denver road, and induced her to purchase magazine subscriptions to the amount of $4. After the men had gone, she declared, she telephoned to the address in Denver which they had given her as their headquarters and was told the men were not employed at that place. She notified the sheriff's office at Golden and Deputy Sheriffs Hocking and Shay traced the men from the Bond home and arrested them. Denver.—Denver business prosperity was demonstrated in striking fashion when a quarterly dividend of $42,500 was declared by the Denver Dry Goods Company directors, according to Frank M. Mayfield, vice president of the company and chairman of the board. Colorado Springs.—Clyde Bushnell, 17 years old, died without having once regained consciousness as a result of the accident which crushed both of his legs when he was run down by a heavy gravel truck on West Colorado avenue. Denver.—Airplanes will be used to fight the deadly "web worm," which is devastating sugar beet crops in various parts of the state, it was announced by Col. Paul B. Newlon, adjutant general of the Colorado National Guard. Colonel Newlon offered sugar beet companies the use of airplanes which are a part of the 120th observation squadron of the National Guard. It is believed the airplanes may be utilized in spraying sugar beet fields with a poisonous substance to kill the pests. Loveland.—The fact that the oil-burning lamp of Oliyer Frantz and the Strong brothers became extinguished on account of lack of oil may lead to a startling discovery. The men, on a recent night were examining some ore dug from their mine. The lamp went out, and in the darkness some of the dust from the specimens dropped on the hot stove. Immediately the room was made as light as day, caused from the flare from the mineral which is believed to be radium-bearing ore. Government authorities were immediately notified and the shaft closed until an investigation is made. Loveland.—L. J. Bissey, president of the Loveland Civic Association, is thanking his stars that he is able to swim. With four other Loveland men, Mr. Bissey was spending the week-end fishing in the Laramie river, when he saw a bear walking toward him. Mr. Bissey immediately plunged into the river and swam to the other side and climbed over the mountain before looking to right or left. His companions saw his hasty flight, and went to his assistance. Investigation showed that the bear did not follow Mr. Bissey into the water. PETER H. T. G.

INVESTMENT CO. --- CAPTAINS OF ADVENTURE By ROGER POCOCK Copyright by Bobba-Merrill Company THE SOUTH SEA CANNIBALS A. D. 1823 Far back in the long ago time New Zealand was a crowded happy land. Big Maori fortress villages crowned the hilltops, broad farms covered the hillsides; the chiefs kept a good table, cooking was excellent, and especially when prisoners were in season, the people feasted between sleeps, or, should provisions fall, sacked the next parish for a supply of meat. So many parishes were sacked and eaten that, in the course of time, the chiefs led their tribes to quite a distance before they could find a nice fat edible village, but still the individual citizen felt crowded after meals, and all was well. Then came the Pakehas, the white men, trading, with muskets for sale, and the tribe that failed to get a trader to deal with was very soon wiped out. A musket cost a ton of flax, and to pile up enough to buy one a whole tribe must leave its hill fortress to camp in unwholesome flax swamps. The people worked themselves thin to buy guns, powder and iron tools for farming, but they cherished their Pakeha as a priceless treasure in special charge of the chief, and if a white man was eaten, it was clear proof that he was entirely useless alive, or a quite detestable character. The good Pakehas became Maori warriors, a little particular as to their meat being really pig, but otherwise well-mannered and popular. Now of these Pakeha Maoris, one has left a book. He omitted his name from the book of "Old New Zealand," and never mentioned dates, but tradition says he was Mr. F. C. Maning, and that he lived as a Maori trader for forty years, from 1823 to 1863, when the work was published. In the days when Mr. Maning reached the North Island a trader was valued at twenty times his weight in muskets, equivalent, say, to the sum total of the British national debt. Runaway sailors, however, were quite cheap. "Two men of this description were hospitably entertained one night by a chief, a particular friend of mine, who, to pay himself for his trouble and outlay, ate one of them next morning." Maning came ashore on the back of a warrior by the name of Melons, who capsized in an ebb tide running like a sluice, at which the white man, displeased, held the native's head under water by way of punishment. When they got ashore Melons wanted to get even, so challenged the Pakeha to a wrestling match. Both were in the pink of condition, the Maori, twenty-five years of age, and a heavy-weight, the other a boy full of animal spirits and tough as leather. After the battle Melons sat up rather dazed, offered his hand and, venting his entire stock of English, said, "How do you do?" But then came a powerful chief, by name Relation-eater. "Pretty work this," he began, "good work. I won't stand this not at all! not at all! not at all!" (The last sentence took three jumps, a step and a turn round, to keep correct time.) "Who killed the Pakeha? It was Melons. You are a nice man, killing my Pakeha . . . we shall be called the 'Pakeha Killkillers'; I shall be sick with shame; the Pakeha will run away; what if you had killed him dead, or broken his bones" killed him dead, or broken his bones." The local trader took Mr. Maning to live with him, but it was known to the tribes that the newcomer really and truly belonged to Relation-eater. Not long had he been settled when there occurred a meeting between his tribe and another, a game of bluff, when the warriors of both sides danced the splendid Haka, most blood-curdling, hair-lifting of all ceremonials. Afterward old Relation-eater singled out the horrible savage who had begun the war-dance, and these two tender-hearted individuals (or a full half-hour, seated on the ground hanging on each other's necks, gave vent to a chorus of skillfully modulated howling. "So there was peace," and during the ceremonies Maning came upon a circle of what seemed to be Maori chiefs, until, drawing near, he found that their nodding heads had nobody underneath. Raw heads had been stuck on slender rods, with cross-sticks to carry the robes. "Looking at the 'eds, slr?" asked an English sailor. "'Eds was werry scarce—they had to tattoo a slave a bit ago, and the villain ran away, tattoo' and all!" "What!" "Bolted before he was fit to kill," said the sailor, mournful to think how disheonest people could be. Once the head chief, having need to punish a rebellious vassal, sent Relation-eater, who plundered and burned the offending village. The vassal decamped with his tribe. "Well, about three months after this, about daylight, I was aroused by a great uproar. . . . Out I ran at once and perceived that M—'s premises were being sacked by the rebellious vassal who . . . was taking this means of revenging himself for the rough handling he had received from our chief. Men were rushing in mad hastle through the smashed windows and doors, loaded with everything they could lay hands upon. . . A large canoe was floating near to the house, and was being rapidly filled with plunder. I saw a fat old Manor woman, who was washerwoman, being dragged along the ground by a huge fellow who was trying to tear from her grasp one of my shirts, to which she clung with perfect desperation. I perceived at a glance that the faithful old creature would probably save a sleeve. "An old man-of-war's man defending his washing, called out, 'Hit out, str! . . . our mob will be here in five minutes.'" "The odds were terrible, but . . . I at once floored a native who was rushing by me. . . . I then perceived that he was one of our own people . . . so, to balance things, I knocked down another! and then felt myself seized round the waist from behind. "The old sailor was down now, but fighting three men at once, while his striped shirt and canvas trousers still hung proudly on the fence. "Then came our mob to the rescue and the assailants fled. "Some time after this a little incident worth noting happened at my friend M—'s place. Our chief had for some time back a sort of dispute with another magnate. . . . The question was at last brought to a fair hearing at my friend's house. The arguments on both sides were very forcible; so much so that in the course of the arbitration our chief and thirty of his principal witnesses were shot dead in a heap before my friend's door, and sixty others badly wounded, and my friend's house and store blown up and burnt to ashes. "My friend was, however, consoled by hundreds of friends who came in large parties to condole with him, and who, as was quite correct in such cases, shot and ate all his stock, sheep, plugs, ducks, geese, fowls, etc., all in high compliment to himself; he felt proud. . . . He did not, however, survive these honors long." Mr. Maning took this poor gentleman's place as trader, and earnestly studied native etiquette, on which his comments are always deliciously funny. Two young Australians were his guests when there arrived one day a Maori desperado who wanted blankets; and "to explain his views more clearly knocked both my friends down, threatened to kill them both with his tomahawk, then rushed into the bedroom, dragged out all the bedclothes, and burned them on the kitchen fire." A few weeks later, Mr. Maning being alone, and reading a year-old Sydney paper, the desperado called, "Friend,' said I, 'my advice to you is to be off." "He made no answer but a scowl of defiance. 'I am thinking, friend, that this is my house,' said I, and, springing upon him, I placed my foot to his shoulder, and gave him a shove which would have sent most people heels over head. But, quick as lightning ... he bounded from the ground, flung his mat away over his head and struck a furious blow at my head with his tomahawk. I caught the tomahawk in full descent; the edge grazed my hand; but my arm, stiffened like a bar of iron, arrested the blow. He made one furious, but ineffectual attempt to wrest the tomahawk from my grasp; and then we seized one another round the middle, and struggled like maniacs in the endeavor to dash each other against the boarded floor. Such a battle it was that I can hardly describe it. "We had another desperate wrestling match. I lifted my friend high in my arms, and dashed him, panting, furious, foaming at the mouth—but beaten—against the ground. His god had deserted him. "He spoke for the first time, 'Enough! I am beaten; let me rise.'" "I, incautiously, let go his left arm. Quick as lightning he satched at a large carving fork ... which was lying among the debris; his fingers touched the handle and it rolled away out of his reach; my life was saved. He then struck me with all his remaining fire on the side of the head, causing the blood to flow out of my mouth. One more short struggle and he was conquered. "But now I had at last got angry . . . I must kill my man, or sooner or later he would kill me . . . I told him to get up and die standing. I clutched the tomahawk for the coup de grace. At this instant a thunderning sound of feet . . . a whole tribe coming . . . my friends! . . . He was dragged by the heels, stamped on, kicked and thrown half dead into his canoe. "All the time we had been fighting, a little slave imp of a boy belonging to my antagonist had been loading the canoe with my goods and chattels. . . These were now brought back." In the sequel this desperado committed two more murders "and also killed in fair fight, with his own hand, the first man in a native battle . . . which I witnessed. . . At last, having attempted to murder another native, he was shot through the heart . . . so there died." Mr. Maning was never again molested and, making full allowance for their folibles, speaks with a very tender love for that race of warriors. There is a tale in Joseph Jefferson's autobiography which is worth repeating for several reasons. His actor-manager father and family were touring the Middle West. They had played the thriving town of Chicago, then glorified in its fine new board sidewalk; had proceeded to Galena by wagon, sitting on the horselide trunks covered with the mottled skins of defunct circus animals; had passed on to Dubuque in sleights over the frozen river, the properties and scenery breaking through the ice and getting well soaked; had acted in all sorts of theaters, from courthouses to barns, in many of the towns just springing up in the Middle West, and had at last reached Springfield. III. Here they had a real theater, built by themselves—a tremendous undertaking in which the family of Jefferson had risked literally everything. "In the midst of our rising fortunes," says Jefferson, "a heavy blow fell upon us. A religious revival was in progress at the time, and the fathers of the church not only launched forth against us in their sermons, but by some political maneuvers got the city to pass a new law enjoining a heavy license against our unholy calling; I forget the amount, but it was large enough to be prohibitory. In the midst of their trouble a young lawyer called upon the managers. He had heard of the Injustice, and offered, if they would place the matter in his hands, to have the license taken off, declaring he only desired to see fair play, and he would accept no fee whether he failed or succeeded. The case was brought up before the council. The young lawyer began his harangue. He handled the subject with tact, skill and humor, tracing the history of the drama from the time when Thepisis acted in a cart to the stage of today. He illustrated his speech with a number of anecdotes, and kept the council in a roar of laughter; his good humor prevailed, and the exorbitant tax was taken off. This young lawyer was very popular in Springfield, and was honored and beloved by all who knew him, and after the time of which I write he held rather an important position in the government of the United States. He now lies buried near Springfield, under a monument commemorating his greatness and his virtues—his name was Abraham Lincoln."—In San Francisco Argonaut. Explorer Gives Some Facts About Eskimos Vilhjalmur Stefansson, writing under the title, "Popular, Errors," in the London Spectator, says that Eskimos do not drink oil. They actually consume less "food for power" than the average Scotsman or Norwegian, and for obvious reasons, if you forget your theories and consider the facts. Eskimos undoubtedly would be fond of fat—it is even possible that they might drink oil—if it were true that they were more exposed to cold than the rest of us. This is the weak link in the chain. The Eskimos are really exposed to cold less than the average American or Britisher. We are told that this is due to the fact they they wear fur clothing out of doors, and that their snug snow buts are so warm that they sit in midwinter naked in the overheated houses with streams of perspiration running down their bodies, which they mop continually with towels.' Indeed, the only time that Stefansson ever saw an Eskimo shiver was in midsummer when his clothes were worn out. Sheiks Study the Bible How Moslems listen to the Bible and sheiks study the Old Testament, is told by a Presbyterian missionary, Mrs. H. R. Boyes of Tripoll, Syria, in a report to the Presbyterian board of foreign missions: "One sheik was in the hospital as a patient last year and before he left he asked for a Bible. We hear that he has committed much of the New Testament to memory, and is teaching it also to his children. Each evening he gathers his friends around him while he reads to them. Our colporteur in this section of the field is selling a great many Scriptures, or portion thereof. "Two sheiks became so interested that they went to Palestine to study Hebrew, so that they could study the Old Testament in the original. They formed a circle of friends who studied evenings, but were compelled to move from their homes by the Moslem in charge of that particular district." Tied Up for Life The man of the house in name only mopped the bald spot in front where his forehead should have been and gazed with intense hatred at his wife a few steps ahead. It seemed evident that he was about to divulge a confidence, and the hotel clerk leaned toward him with a friendly, expectant glance. The grumbling one came nearer to the clerk and said: "When I got married her folks told her not to do it and my folks told me not to do it. Said it was a misalliance and we wouldn't stay together a week. Misalliance nothing! I've been married twenty years and I can't even get out for one night!"—Prize story in Judge.

They left the Labourget airdrome outside Paris at 11:05 o'clock on the morning of July 16, fought head winds all the way across the English channel, but jumped from the continent in otherwise perfect condition and landed at the British airdrome just three hours and four minutes later, to be greeted by a crowd of enthusiasts who nearly mobbed them as they climbed stiffly from their cockpits. They tried vainly to get a good stretch before they assumed company manners to face the shower of greetings from the British and American welcomers. The planes have been taken to Brough for the installation of new engines and for a general tightening up process before they hop off for Kirkwall in the Orkneys, the last European stop. The aviators' arrival was most casual, their only escort being a British passenger plane and several French military planes. The greeting of the Americans, however, was not at all casual and the Bobbies had a hard time protecting the planes and fliers from button souvenir and autograph hunters, and wild-eyed well-wishers who showered the six Americans with congratulations. As the planes approached, Mrs. Stuart MacLaren, wife of the British round the world flier, excited as a school girl, watched the machines anxiously and whispered to a companion: "It's wonderful, but I wish it were my husband come home." She was one of the first to congratulate Lieut. Lowell H. Smith, the American commander, who leaned out of the fuselage of his plane and gave her a word of good cheer about her husband. "I'm just dying for a smoke," said Lieut. Leslie P. Arnold, Smith's mechanic, when, with his companions he turned for a hasty glimpse of a sheaf of letters handed to him by Maj. Howard C. Davidson, assistant military attach, representing the American embassy. The aviators, tanned by the sun, looked to be the better off for their 18,000-mile flight. "It's an experience I wouldn't take a million for, but I wouldn't start over again for a million," Lieut. Arnold said. There was an informal reception when the aviators landed. Frederick A. Sterling, counselor of the American embassy, and Major Davidson represented the embassy, Mr. Sterling presenting a letter from Ambassador Kellogg, who could not be present because of the opening of the reparations conference. Man Confesses Slaying Major Asheville, N. C.—Maj. Samuel H. McLeary, missing army officer, was killed by Mortimer H. King, living near Canton, and a companion whose identity is still unrevealed by authorities, on the afternoon of July 2, says a sworn confession made at Canton by King to federal and local authorities. The motive for the killing, according to King's confession, was robbery. After the major had taken King and his companion into his car and offered to give them a lift up the road they shot him to death. Entry of Japanese Barred Washington, July 15.—Immigration of Orientalists from Hawaii into the United States will not be affected by the new immigration act, Secretary Davis held. Labor Department officials, interpreting the terms of the new act, said that the 100,000 Japanese now legally in the Hawaiian islands are restrained from coming to continental United States under the terms of the immigration act of 1917 and their status is in no way affected by the new act. Fugitive Cashier Shot to Death Rock Springs, Wyo.—The sensational man hunt for Clyde N. Fisher, cashier of the Gunn-Quaily Coal Company, missing with the semi-monthly pay roll of the company, ended abruptly at 1 o'clock on the morning of July 16, when Fisher was sighted by Jasper Walker, mine foreman, and was shot fatally, dying a few hours later in the hospital at Rock Springs. Walker is a deputy sheriff and had formerly worked with Fisher in a mine near Rock Springs.

Anything that will tend to eflighten the human mind and do away with the blight of ignorance is certain to add to our standard of citizenship. The state of Mississippi, like many more benighted Southern states, contributes but little to the education of the Negro. Hence the action of the Mississippi colored teachers, who have caught the noble spirit of their profession and taken upon themselves the duty of wiping out illiteracy becomes the more worthy. Bach teach- er has pledged to instruct one or more adult illiterates for one year with- out compensation. Think of the immense benefits a commonwealth may gain by just one year’s effort to improve the standard of citizenship. It is clearly up to the Negro to help himself and the teachers of Mississipp! are leading the way. APPROACHING ELECTIONS AND SOME RESPONSIBILITIES UDGING from the unusually heavy registration reported by the Den- J yer election commission, it is evident that Denver citizens have at Jast awakened and are preparing to assume the’ responsibilities that are really theirs instead of leaving it all to greedy politicians. It is a healthy sign when citizens in general take part in the affairs of gov- ernment, Already anxious politicians are asking: “What does this heavy registration mean?” “Whom will it most benefit?”” ‘These and many similar questions arise to disturb the dreams of po- litical chair-warmers who generally feel they have things securely “fixed’” when the registration is small. But Denver and Colorado now face two important elections, the re- call rumpus on August 12, and the general election in November. There is no reason why every voter should not be fitted and ready for both of these elections. Issues of paramount importance are certain to be presented; sone of these will meet our approval, others will call for the severest condemna- tion; men and women, some good and true, others hypocritical and uncer- tain, will appeal to us for our support. We must be prepared then to take positive action both as to issues and as to individual candidates, and this can only be done by registering and putting votes in the ballot box. A good, stinging majority against some iniquitous, hurtful measure, or against some known enemy of the race on election day is worth a dozen or more protest meetings afterward, Our problem, then, is first to convince our- selves that our responsibility begins with precinct registration and does not end until the yote is cast on élection day. We made reference to the heavy registration going on just now. Reports come to us that this or that group is responding in large numbers, but we are principally inter- ested in knowing Just what OUR GROUP is doing. Remember that if only 60 per cent of the Negro vote is registered and less than 40 per cent of it reaches the ballot box, we have no one to blame but ourselves if some- thing is “put over” on us at the polls. By failure to avail ourselves of the common, fundamental duties of citizenship, we surrender many rights and submit to the possibility of a complete abrogation. Something is in the air, and while we at all times decline to assume the role of an alarmist, the COLORADO STATESMAN gives due warning that if one-half of the rumors and counter-rumors floating around can be given credence, then Negro voters are making possible rueful day and in- viting disaster by failing to arm themselves with the ballot. And, once armed, do not hesitate to use it without fear or favor, The political lean- ings of this organ are so well known that there is no need of a re-affirma- tion at this time, But even within party lines an immense amount of work is needed and if perchance a party organization be rotten to the core, the remedial power still abides with the individual voter. Say as we will, there is a sufficiency of Negro strength in Denyer county and Colorado as to enable us to “clean house” in no uncertain manner if we could only bring about cohesiveness of effort. And we are only deluding ourselves by the continued pulling apart on fundamentals. While we would preach political unity, and with all vehemence, we would the more strongly urge racial unity. No man has a full conception of the obligations of citizen- ship who does not study the science of government, and by so doing quali- fy for the specific duty of voting on election day. We are pleased, for the most part, with the character of men who have thus far announced them- selves as candidates for office this fall, In this connection we believe it to be our duty to again urge the election of one of our race representa tives to the Legislature. This can be done, even though we are aware in. advance that a great deal of help will not be forthcoming from the other races. This should be done, even though we know before hand that a placing of a Negro on any ticket will arouse the ire of a certain proscrip- tive organization that is wildly endeavoring to keep him “in his place.” ‘These and many other considerations will come up during the campaign, but the all-absorbing question in these hectic days of aisies tall and wire pulling is, “Are you registered?”. i ALLIED MEETING | : SPEEDS WORK AMERICAN OBSERVER SATISFIED WITH PROGRESS MADE DURING PERIOD OF ADJUSTMENT MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE | DAWES PLAN YET TO BE CONSIDERED London.—The Dawes plan for a rep- arations deal intended to be dev@d of sentiment and political and nutional- Istie feeling is going through the most critical period of Its existence under the scrutiny of experts at work in the committee rodms in Downing street, 11 was authoritatively Stated that Ameri- en's official observer, Ainbassador Kel- logg, und his adviser, Col, James A.

The refrigerator should be thoroughly cleaned about once a week, at a time when it contains only a little ice, says the United States Department of Agriculture. Remove the ice and all the food. Take out the racks, wash them in hot water containing soap or soda, rinse, and wipe dry. If possible, remove the drainpipe, scrub inside with a long-handled spiral brush or swab, and scald. If the pipe is not removable, it should nevertheless be thoroughly cleaned out, for it may contain not only solid matter from the melting ice, but also slime formed by the organisms that thrive in such a dark, cool, moist situation. The small trap in the drainpipe should also be cleaned, and the drain pan washed and scalded. Wash the inside of the refrigerator with hot water containing soap or soda, rinse, and dry thoroughly. A small pointed stick like a skewer may be used to clean the corners and seams. The so-called "iceless" refrigerators Roasting in Old-Fashioned Fireplace Was Popular. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Green corn, like many other vegetables, is at its best when freshly gathered. Corn on the cob is not very convenient to serve or eat, and this method of cooking it would doubtless have been abandoned long ago if cutting the kernels from the cob before cooking did not materially modify the flavor. The most convenient way of cooking corn on the cob is ordinarily by boiling, but in old-fashioned fireplaces roasting was a favorite method. This still survives as a common household practice in some localities and also in campfire cookery. Boiled Corn on the Cob. Free the corn from husks and "silk." Have a kettle of water boiling hard, drop the corn into the water and cook 10 minutes. If only a few ears of corn are put in a kettle of boiling water the temperature of the water is not lowered greatly and the corn will cook in 8 minutes. On the other hand, if a large quantity of corn is crowded into a kettle of boiling water, the temperature is very much lowered and the time of cooking must be increased. When possible, surround the corn with a generous quantity of boiling water. Be careful not to cook sweet corn too long, or it is likely to be tough and tasteless. The United States Department of Agriculture suggests that when corn and potatoes are to be cooked at one time, six to eight ears can be steamed in the same kettle in which the potatoes are boiled. Lay the ears over the potatoes in rapidly boiling water and cover the kettle tightly. Corn Cut From the Cob. Corn may be cut from the cob and heated with butter, pepper and a little milk. Use either raw corn, or, better, corn that has been cooked on the cob for 5 minutes in the boiling water to set the juice. With a sharp knife cut through the center of each row of grains and with the back of a case knife press the grains of corn from the hulls. Put the corn in a saucepan and season with salt, pepper and butter. Add enough hot milk to moisten well and cook 10 minutes. Serve at once. Another method, sometimes known as "Maine style," is to cut the grain directly from the cob without scoring and scraping, and to season and heat as above. This is a good way to utilize leftover cooked ears. To a pint of corn cooked as above, or to the same amount of canned corn, add a pint of cooked and seasoned shelled beans, usually lima beans. Succotash. should be cleaned as regularly as those of the ice-box type, the shelves washed and sunned, and, if possible, two sets of curtains provided, so that each can be washed and sunned every other week. Food safes, bread boxes, and other receptacles for food should likewise be washed, scaled, and aired regularly so as to prevent mold and decay. So far as possible, refrigerators should be kept clean by preventive care. Wash the ice before it is put into the ice compartment and keep all food in clean and usually covered dishes. Never put food away hot. It is advisable to inspect the contents of the refrigerator frequently for spoiled food. Anything spilled should be wiped up immediately. Have the refrigerator located as near as possible to the kitchen where the food will be prepared, without exposing it to the sun's rays or the heat of the stove. The picture shows a refrigerator which was moved up from the cellar to the back entry, thus saving the housewife many steps. PAPER ROLL PROVES USEFUL IN KITCHEN A roll of narrow wrapping paper such as stores use, when suspended on the kitchen wall, makes a convenient place to note down needed supplies. When the end of it is drawn through two strips of board or wire on a convenient firm backing, either Linda Linda Linda New Kitchen Improvement, the wall itself or a flat piece of wood, as in the illustration, it is easy to draw down the end of the roll and tear it off as one is going to market. A pencil on a string should hang nearby. The roll shown in the picture was a detail among many other kitchen improvements in a Virginia home. It was photographed by the United States Department of Agriculture. Acid Removes Stain on Zinc Acid Removes Stain on Zinc Zinc dents with use, but may be brightened by the use of scourers. Zinc on floors, under stoves, and in like places, should be scoured with bathbrick and kerosene, washed and rinsed with water, and wiped dry, the United States Department of Agriculture says. Zinc on tables, or wherever likely to come in contact with food, should be scoured with bath-brick and water. Acid, as in vinegar or lemon juice, may be used to remove stains on zinc, but should be thoroughly washed off; otherwise, the zinc will tarnish again very soon. The Kitchen Cabinet (© 1924, Western Newspaper Union.) There are so many things—best things—that can only come when youth is past, that it may well happen to many of us to and ourselves happier and happier to the last.—Elliot. MORE WAYS WITH FRUIT There are so many delicious drinks which one may make in the home, just from a few spoonfuls of canned fruit juice left overs, often thrown out, not knowing their value. With a half-cupful of peach juice, add fuls of canned fruit juice left-overs, often thrown out, not knowing their value. With a half-cupful of peach juice, add the juice of a lemon and sugar if needed, ice, and just enough water to thin it to the right taste, and you will have a glass or two of refreshing nectar. Grape juice, with a little ginger ale added to it to give it zest, makes a most delightful drink. Raspberry Whip.—Mash one cupful of raspberries, add a cupful of pulverized sugar, a pinch of salt and the white of an egg; beat all together until stiff. Serve on a platter surrounded with whipped cream. Strawberry and Pineapple Jam.—Put a pineapple through the meat grinder. Take equal parts of pineapple and strawberries. To every five cupfuls of fruit add four cupfuls of sugar. Let stand several hours. Put in a preserving kettle and cook gently until clear and thick. Pour into jelly glasses and cover with paraffin. Ripe Currant Pie.—Bake a pastry shell and fill with the following: Take one cupful each of crushed currants and sugar, two eggs, two tablespoonfuls of water and one of flour, and one tablespoonful of butter. Beat the yolks of the eggs, add flour and water and mix with the fruit and sugar; dot with bits of butter, and cook until smooth. Pour into the shell and top with a meringue prepared from the egg whites, using two tablespoonfuls of sugar. Brown in the oven and serve cold. Salpicon of Fruit—Shred a pineapple, add a banana or two cut fine, and orange and a grapefruit sliced; mix with one cupful of sugar and a tablespoonful of water which have been cooked to a sirup and cooled; add a tablespoonful of lemon juice and chill, adding the fruit. Serve in tall glasses garnished with maraschino cherries. 'Aye, to the leavening, but here's yet in the word here after the kernels and the baking of the cake, the heating of the oven, and the baking. Nay, you must stay the cooling, too, or you may chance to burn your mouth—Shakespeare. A WORD ABOUT CAKES Cake-making and baking is an art—a science. Most housekeepers have some cake recipe which they use as a foundation for various forms and kinds of cake. Baked in layers the cake batter is thinner than if baked in a loaf; adding different flavorings, fruit, chocolate and spices, one may have a different cake from the same bake for every day in the week. they use as a foundation for various forms and kinds of cake. Baked in layers the cake batter is thinner than if baked in a loaf; adding different flavorings, fruit, chocolate and spices, one may have a different cake from the same base for every day in the week. For those who are yet inexperienced in cake-making a few suggestions may be helpful: Firstly have all the ingredients gathered before starting to prepare the cake, as often a most important ingredient may be lacking. Lining all cake pans is a good practice as it helps to keep cake moist, makes easier the removing if it from the pan, and if too hot, the scorch will be on the paper and will peel off with it when the paper is removed. The old-fashioned cooks were advocates of much creaming of butter and sugar, but times have changed and the time spent in such work has been largely saved for more important things. All ingredients, if well-blended and given a good beating, will make a fine-grained cake which answers almost any purpose. Of course, for great occasions, such as wedding cakes, work is never considered. The following is a good, plain foundation cake which may be used for all ordinary occasions: Plain Cake.—Take three level tablespoonfuls of butter, add one cupful of sugar, one-half cupful of milk, two well-beaten eggs, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder added to one and three-fourths cupfuls of flour. Flavor as liked, beat well and bake in a square tin. A slight depression made in the center of all cakes, heaping the dough around the edges of the pan, will result in a level cake, as all mixtures tend to hump up in the middle when baking. Too much flour will cause this unsightly hump also. The most satisfactory cake is the one which may be baked as thin as possible—that is with as little flour, and still keep from falling when baking. The thinner the batter the more delicate and tender the cake. A rubber bath sponge makes a good hand mop to use with scouring material to clean the lavatory and bath-tub. It has the advantage of being lintless. Nellie Maxwell The KITCHEN CABINET (© 1924, Western Newspaper Union.) Though other purses be more fat, Why should we pine or grieve at that? Hang sorrow!

Next to the palatability of our food we like to have it appeal to the eye. Fruit Basket A luscious basket of fruit garnished with its own foliage when possible, is an ornament to any table. For those who cannot eat uncooked apples or pears, try this dalty dish to set before them: Stew the fruit in a rich sirup until tender enough to pierce easily, then decorate with quartered almonds, dust with powdered sugar and pour around them the sirup, put into a hot oven to finish cooking. The almonds will be brown and the fruit of delicious flavor. Serve with the sirup and a little whipped cream. If pears are cooked add a little lemon juice to the sirup. When fresh berries are out of season mold a few preserved strawberries in an orange jelly and serve the quivering mounds with whipped cream and a little of the preserves. Halves of muskmelons filled with ice cream and garnished with small pieces of preserved ginger to simulate seeds is both palatable and pretty. Roasted almonds also may be used in place of the ginger. Cored apples filled with a mixture of nuts and marmalade, baked and covered with a meringue, is another apple dish de luxe. Grated apple added to the white of egg and sugar make a most delicious filling for a plain layer cake. Grated apple added to the white of egg, beaten stiff with powdered sugar, served in sherbet glasses with a thin custard, makes a most dainty dessert. Stewed pears, cored and centers filled with jelly, served with whipped cream, is another worthy of trial. Ripe peaches put through a sieve, added to ice cream ready to be frozen, flavored with almond, is delicious. Halves of ripe peaches filled with nuts and topped with a spoonful of ice cream is a favorite dessert. Half of a peach placed on a round of sponge cake and both lald upon a slice of brick ice cream is another pleasing fruit dessert. Hot breads, such as gems, griddle cakes and waffles may occasionally take the place of toast, though the season, temperature and individual has much to do about the food served. Remove the cake of soap from the pan, pail or tub; do not waste it by leaving it to become soaked. The art of cooking cannot be learned out of a book any more than the art of swimming or the art of painting. The best teacher is practice; the best guide is sentiment. MEALS FOR TWO Where there are but two in the family for which to provide meals unless there are guests there are many things which must be denied them as they represent too much in leftovers. However, there are enough to keep a variety, even for two. The spring chicken is just about the right size for two when it first comes into the market and chops and small steaks may be bought in any market. Fish is another dish for the small family, when one may buy a fillet of any of the larger trout or lake fish, and the smaller ones are of suitable size to serve whole. Vegetables may be cooked and served in any quantity, small or large; omelets are good for the small family; souffles may be prepared in any size and puddings of various kinds and small pies may be prepared. A larger chicken need not be an extravagance, for it may be served in various ways without becoming monotonous. Use the back with the neck and wing tips for stew with dumplings. Save the breast or part of it for chicken salad, or slice it and serve it cold. The giblets, if cooked slowly covered with cold water, may be chopped and added to the gravy or served in a rich cream sauce on buttered toast. Part of the chicken after parboiling may be fried, such as the second joints, wings and drumsticks. If the meat seems too scanty add a cupful of fresh cooked mushrooms. These may be found in the fields all summer. All bits left over may be used as minced chicken on toast and the bones and unedible parts will make a nice dish of soup, adding cream and a beaten egg. Salads are easy to prepare in small quantities and one need never lick for variety. Brook Trout Baked in Cream. Butter a baking dish and lay a freshly-caught and well-dressed trout or two in the pan. Cover with sweet cream, adding salt and other seasoning just at the last, as salt often curdles the cream. Serve hot with the cream as sauce.

COLORFUL PRINTS AND PLAIDS; YOUTHFUL SIMPLICITY RULES RECORD-MAKING era for prints and plaids is this! Women of fashion evidently are holding the thought "if the mode sends prints and plaids, then prints and plaids is my choice." True, some of the designs and colorings are nothing less than startling, but what care we if plaids and prints be gay as gay can be, we like them just that way. Indeed, so heartily have we entered into the I THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY L Exponents of Print and Plaid Craze. spirit of the moment, even our parsols, our hats, our scarves, not to mention our frocks and wraps yield to this super-vogue for prints and plaids. Perhaps we Americans have not as yet so thoroughly abandoned ourselves to the fascinations of the print and plaid craze as have the French, for in Paris couturiers are particularly featuring printed and plaid capes, wraps and coats. For these, cotton stuffs splashed with color are as popular as silk. Indeed cretones combined with solid colored satins, preferably black, also with white wash silks are quite the rage. Worthy exponents of the print and plaid craze are the hat and parasol, likewise the frock above pictured herewith. All over the crown of the larger hat spreads an expanse of silk printed in vivid oriental designs. The parasol takes up the theme and covers itself with match print adding a touch of surpassing interest in the way of 5 A THE MUSEUM OF ART a wide border of cerise moire silk. Surely such a canopy of color must bespeak loveliness and chic. As to the plaited and printed chiffon frock, being black and white, it contrasts the more the brilliant Scotch plaid of the parasol held over it. Plaids are growing more and more pronounced in coloring. A latest contribution to the mode is the scarf, which flaunts two yards and more of dashing plaid silk-hemmed all about with a border of plain silk. Of printed chiffons and indestructible sheer volles, also georgette crepes, one could write volumes and then not cover the subject. Black and white leads for these diaphanous fabrics bearing rings, polka dots, Chinese characters in bold design, or revealing attractive large roses, black on white Tailored mode versus sports wear, what a study in contrasts! No color too blizarre, no design too spectacular, is the record for sportswear. When it comes to tailored modes, aye, there is a different story. Ultra-simplicity, perfected detail, conservative color, thus Madame Fashion balances accounts. Youthful straight lines characterize --- the smart tailored suit, such as the model pictured defines. This trim girlish suit is of soft wool fabric. The popular drape-around skirt is of interest and the neat buttoning down the front is of outstanding appeal. There is an ever-readiness about a tailored suit of this sort, which women of fashion or of business appreciate. or fashion or of business appreciate. Beige mixtures, navy blue or black twill and hairline stripes, many of 25 these braid-bound, tell in brief the tailored trend. Departing slightly from the severe man-tailored suits, are fascinating models introducing plaited incidentals. That is, the cloth is knife-plaited and then inset in a strictly tailored way. Fine tucks also add variety to tailleur treatments, these being incorporated into the making of the coat and skirt by means of long strips, the tucks running horizontally. Midsummer suit interest is directed largely toward flannels. Unusual color is expressed in these, such as madonna blue, titian, sand and lanvin green. The fact that most of the flannel suits are unlined, is a special recommendation. Three types are developed in the colorful flannel suit namely: sleeveless costume, consisting of jacket and skirt; the three-quarter length coat and skirt, and the short jacket model. The all-white suit is a genuine favorite developed in fannel, worsted or THE WOOLEN COAT Youthful Straight Lines Feature Tailored Suit. silk, generally modeled on boyish lines. Since white with a splash of color is fashion's edict, it follows that gay accessories, especially scarves and hosiery, accompany the white suit. Very handsome is the tailleur with leather insets. The leather either matches or contrasts the cloth. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (©, 1924, Western Newspaper Union.) DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING CO.
