THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY "THE USUAL CRIME" VOL. XXX To the Editor of The Nation: Sir: Mr. Robert Herrick's remarks on "the usual crime" in his article on the Race Problem in the Caribbean, published in your issue or June 11, are excellent, but not nearly strong enough, I believe. The following experience shows how different is the picture in the British West Indies from that painted in our Southern States. Some years ago when I was on a steamer on my way to Jamaica, I read "White Capital and Black Labor," by Sir Sydney Oliver (now Lord Oliver, Secretary for India in the British Cabinet). The following passage attracted my attention: Now the fact is that in the British West Indies assaults by black or colored men on white women or children are practically altogether unknown. No apprehension of them whatever troubles society. I say as an administrator familiar with the judicial statistics, as a resident familiar with all parts of Jamaica and all classes of its population, as the head of a household of women and girls which have frequented the suburbs of Kingston and lived for weeks and months in remote country districts with neither myself nor any other white man within call. Any resident in Jamaica will tell the same story. A young white woman can walk alone in the hills or to Kingston in daylight or dark, through populous settlements of exclusively black or colored folk without encountering anything but friendly salutation from man or woman. Single ladies may hire a carriage and drive all over the island without trouble or molestation. Offenses against women and children come into the courts; but they are not against white women and children. Whatever may be the cause it is the indisputable fact that Jamaica or any other West Indian island is as safe for white women to go about in, if not safer, than any European country with which I am acquainted. Lord Oliver had been governor of Jamaica for some years. I happened to be seated at a table on this steamer next to the Hon. E. St. John Branch, who was attorney general for the British West Indies, and I asked him what he thought of Oliver's statement. After thinking it over he replied that so far as he could remember no case of assault or attempted assault of a white woman or girl by a Negro had occurred in the courts during his term of office. If I remember correctly, he told me he had been attorney general for seventeen years. Consider the population statistics of the Island of Jamaica: The total population (according to the 1911 census) was 831,383, of whom 630,181 were black, 163,201 "colored," and 15,605 white. That is to say, there were just fifty black and colored people to one white person. Many of the judges, all the policemen, and all of the troops except commissioned officers were blacks; and there was no such thing as rape of white women. The Negroes are of the same races as those imported to our country. The slave ships came in general from the same parts of Africa. What is the answer? Are we to believe that because of real or imagined ill-treatment here the Negroes have taken to the custom of raping white women, although they do not do it in the West Indies? It is reasonable to suppose that if the Negroes do not commit this crime where they greatly outnumber the whites and where there is no danger whatever of their being lynched, they would take to it in a country where the whites outnumber them almost everywhere, where all authority is in the hands of the whites, and where if they should commit such a crime they are almost certain to be caught, likely to be killed without even a semblance of a trial, and not improbably under most brutal conditions attended by atrocities such as are seldom found even among savages? What reliable evidence is there that the assault upon white women by Negroes has ever occurred or been attempted on a scale sufficient so that it might be considered as a likely danger? Certainly the say-so of those who have been implicated in group murders, called lynchings, a say-so which is not given under oath, and not subject to the analysis of cross-examination by legal counsel is not sufficiently convincing. Can it be that the "usual crime" does not exist and has not existed? (I am speaking, of course, of its existence as a racial tendency, and exclude from consideration sporadic cases of insane degenerates which occur among all races.) If so, it is one of the most despicable lies of all times. New York, July 1. HUNTINGTON ADAMS. Black Rapist Is Proven "White" Fairfield, Texas, July 23.—The daily newspapers of Texas carried an item, played up on their front pages a few days ago about an alleged attack upon a white girl at Fairfield, a little onehorse town in Central Texas where six or more colored men and boys have been lynched and burned to death within the last two years for alleged attacks and offenses upon white women and girls. A lay or two later, hidden on a back page in these daily sheets, appeared a very brief news item to the effect that two white youths had been arrested and a third was implicated in the "assault" and that his arrest was hourly expected. White Criminals Outnumber Negroes White Criminals Outnumber Negroes York, S. C., July 21.—White citizens of this county are amazed at what they term the gain of the white criminal class in numbers as compared with the Negro. The population of the county in whites and Negroes is about equal, with an advantage in favor of the Negro, whereas there are ten whites to every four Negroes in the county jail. It is also bootlegging and the crimes of the significant that the offenses of the Negroes are petty crimes such as whites include murder and burglary. The whites are alarmed to see the Negro law-abiding class gaining on them. NEGRO MOUNTAIN IS HIGHEST POINT IN PENNYSLVANIA N. A. A. C. P. PUBLISHES BAGNALL'S PRAYER AT INDEPENDENCE HALL CEREMONY ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House NABLE PEOPLE'S PA RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, S NEGRO MOUNTAIN IN PENNY Harrisburgh, Pa., July 20—Somerset leads other Pennsylvania counties in the altitude of its mountains, according to Colonel Henry W. Shoemaker, of McElhattan, one of the state's leading conversationalists, in an article in a department of highways bulletin, entitled "Facts Motorists Should Know." Some of the higher mountains are listed. In Somerset county Colonel Shoemaker names Negro mountain, 3,220 feet; Big Spring Summit, 3,169; Laurel Run Summit and Peck's Peak, 3,135 and 3,120 feet, respectively, and Old Fort Hill Summit and Mount View School Knob, 3,100 feet. Several others above the 3,000-foot height are named. Martin's Hill, Bedford county, has an altitude of 3,876 feet, while Indian Creek Summit and Panther Rock Hill, Westmoreland county, and Clay Run Summit and Sugar Loaf, Fayette county, have altitudes of 3,000 feet. Firm Made Rich by Black Patrons Wants No More Chicago, Ill., July 23.—Colored citizens and patrons of the Fish Furniture Company located on State street near Eighteenth, will be thrown into consternation when they become acquainted with the attitude of this company which they have liberally patronized during the last few years. It seems that they will be brought to their sense when the cold-blooded facts, as they exist, will be presented to them. A short while ago a local business man while conversing with Mr. Ludkin, an official of the Fish Company, was amazed with the boldness and audacity with which he presented the company's policies. "We have 60 per cent, colored trade now," states Ludkin, "and we do not wish an abundance of colored patrons to drive away what white trade we have as we plan to move into the loop shortly and we wish to keep our trade out here." Continued the Fish representative: "On Mondays we have four colored persons to every white customer and we do not intend to jeopardize our interest with further colored trade. Sixty per cent, is enough, but when we move into the loop we are going to encourage colored people to trade here, on Eighteenth and State streets, because they are familiar with the location and will not interfere with our white trade." Edward Sworsky, a bookkeeper and a collector for the Fish Company, was found guilty of assaulting Mrs. Edith H. Virtue, of 4925 Vincennes avenue, before Judge Jacobs at the Wabash Avenue Court. It was alleged that he forced his way into her home and used vile language. The Fish Company claimed that he was not employed to collect but that he was doing so on his "own hook." Whether the owners of the company are willing to abide by the policies advanced by their employees is yet to be determined. So far they have in no way attempted to affirm or deny the charges and accusations that have been made against them. ORIGINAL Other mountains ranging at or above the 2,000-foot height are found in Potter, Clinton, Susquehanna, Lackawanna, Luzernt, Wyoming, Franklin, Centre and Fulton. It is said that "Negro Mountain" was so named because of large number of Negroes who found refuge there during slavery. They married among the Scotch-Irish and now form a very beautiful settlement of "white" people with olive skin and black silken curls. They are frequently spoken of in Somerset township. Another legend is to the effect that a Negro, through a wonderful act of bravery on this spot, saved part of a British expedition under Col. George Washington and General Braddock, before the Revolutionary war. The county held special exercises at the official dedication of the mountain two years ago. FOR STATE TREASURER, ARTHUR M. STONG OF ALAMOSA COUNTY FOR STATE TREASURER, ARTHUR M.

New York, July 18.—In response to numerous requests, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today published the full text of the prayer uttered by Robert W. Bagnall at the Independence Hall ceremony in Philadelphia, Monday, June 30. Mr. Bagnall's prayer was as follows: "Almighty Father, the God of Justice and of Brotherhood, who didst draw from far lands Thy people with vision to this country and into this place, and move them to pen and sign the immortal words that all men have the inalienable right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness; who led them to contend and fight that a Democracy might be established here in this country—We come to Thee as those who love this our blood, and those whose fathers shed their blood, of four thousand of Thy children who have been lynched and tortured, who have suffered the agony of the fire and the flame. Their blood cries unto Thee from the ground, 'O Lord, How Long—How long shall injustice prevail? How long shall liberty be denied? How long shall the doctrine of equality be transgressed in the Land which Thou hast ordained to be truth a Democracy? "We know that Thou art a God of Justice and that Thou lookest upon injustice and wrong with anger; that Thou desirest Thy children to co-operate with Thee that there may be ended lynching, and discrimination, and peonage, and wholesale murder, and wrong of every sort that disgrace the name of this, the land we love—our land. "And so, O God, on this the birthplace of Democracy, here reconsecrate ourselves to fight with might and main for our country, that here in this land everything and at all times, all men may have brotherhood, and equality, and justice, and opportunity, without regard to race or color. "All of which we ask for the sake of Thy dear Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ." BOULDER, COLO., NEWS Rev. Jackson was in our midst again Sunday. Rev. Wilson, the newly appointed Presiding Elder, was in Boulder Sunday as it was Quarterly Meeting day for Allen. Rev. Wilson conducted services Sunday afternoon and evening. Quite a number of visitors from Denver attended services. The Baptists have started the remodeling of their church. We wish them success in their efforts. Allen Chapel's rally was responded to very nicely in attendance, as Shorter's, of Denver, was well represented, about twenty-five of the choir coming up as well as the members of the church and other friends, but they did not reach their goal, only raising a little over $300. They started out for $1,000. Mr. G. McVey is improving so nicely he soon expects to leave the hospital. Mrs. Hall did not feel so good Sunday. NO.42. Mr. J. Chrysler is visiting his mother and friends for a few days. Mrs. Tinsley received word from relatives in Kansas that her aunt and cousin is to pay her a visit soon. Her aunt, Mrs. B. Brown, and family are dear friends of Mrs. Washington and family. Mrs. S. Washington celebrated her 81st birthday on the 29th of this month. Smith is Candidate for Governor Cleveland, O., July 24.—Harry C. Smith, editor of the Gazette, a race weekly, is a candidate for governor of Ohio at the next election on the Republican ticket. George W. Shanklin, a contractor, is on the ticket with him, running for lieutenant governor. Two years ago Smith startled the state by polling some 50,000 votes when he ran as candidate for the post of secretary of the state of Ohio. WAITERS FIGHT AGAINST MOB Washington, D. C., July 23.—After a two-day battle with guns and stones against a white mob which besieged their quarters near the Henlopen hotel at Reboboth Beach, Delaware S. R. Swansy, Howard University law student, accompanied by five companions arrived here last week. The beach is a small settlement of 300 whites and the hotel employs sixteen race waiters. The mob was angered because the waiters used the boardwalk for a stroll after hours. Among the waiters employed were: Headwaiter Charles Morton, Sales M. M. Bowens, James Watkins, Jennifer, Benjamin Holmes, 628 Carlyle street, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Joseph Outerbright, 1211 Q street, N. W.; Albert J. Kenny, 142 W. street, N. W.; Harry Trent, 1700 block T street, N. W.; and Elden, of the City Club, the latter five having left with Swansy. Kills 100 Black Snakes in 6 Weeks Kills 100 Black Snakes in 6 Weeks Glenwood, Md.—Daniel Howard, a farmer near here, claims the snake record of Montgomery county. Howard declares he shot 100 blacksnakes in the past six weeks. "I have an intuition which tells me when snakes are around," declares Howard, who takes a shotgun with him to the fields in the mornings. Many of the snakes, he says, he shoots down from the trees on the farm. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE WESTERN Despite the fact that gold placers in California have produced more than $1,000,000,000 since their discovery in 1848, they are not exhausted, according to a statement issued by the state mining bureau at Sacramento. Grain prices have only started to climb, in the opinion of James A. Patton, noted millionaire Board of Trade expert. Patton declared that he believes wheat will go to $2, corn to $1.25 or $1.50, and oats to at least 60 or 65 cents. Fire that swept out a solid block at Yakima, Wash., with the exception of one building, was finally put under control. The damage is estimated at $350,000 to buildings and supplies, including a great amount of box shoocks and paper assembled in anticipation of the near beginning of the fruit rush. "Give me a speedy trial and shoot me or hang me—I want to join by baby in a happier land than this," Mrs. George White, 29 years old, pleaded with Boise, Idaho, officers after she had emptied four chambers of a .32 caliber revolver into the head of her 16 months old daughter at their ranch home, three miles southeast of Boise. The body of Miss Katherine Good of Point Loma, Calif., was found beside the Union Pacific tracks near Leroy, Wyo., after the young woman had been missed from her berth and a search instituted. The body, when found, was fully clothed except for one shoe and stocking. Railroad officials are unable to explain how the woman fell from the train and are co-operating with Wyoming officials in an investigation. The air mail proved its value for the first time in a fire fighting emergency. Asbestos suits, for the protection of workmen arranging to extinguish the burning gas well of the Union Oil Company near Wellington, Colo., thirty miles south of Cheyenne were rushed from Chicago to Cheyenne by air mail and from Cheyenne to the well by automobile. Postage on the packages ranged from $38 for the lightest to $48 for the heaviest. WASHINGTON The new Progressive party does not regard prohibition an issue in this year's presidential campaign, it was announced at the home of Senator Robert M. LaFollette. The statement was made on behalf of the Progressive candidate, in reply to the charge of the Anti-Saloon league that LaFollette is the "only wet" in the race for the White House. The issues are "all economic," LaFollette's managers explained. Apportionment of $700,000 appropriated by Congress for the survey and resurvey of public lands belonging to the government during the fiscal year of 1925 was made public by the Interior Department a few days ago through the general land office. Colorado is among three states receiving the largest apportionments, deducting $122,000 necessary to cover the expenses of the supervisor's office, equipment, freight and express, and other administrative costs. Forty-five children were made homeless when fire swept through the Brun Home for Children, a private institution. Fireman arrived just in time to rescue Mrs. E. K. Fleck, matron of the home, an invalid. She was carried to safety from the second floor in her wheel chair. Many children were also carried from the blazing building. President Coolidge turned the first three spades of earth for the Hamline Methodist Episcopal church in Washington. Only the first spadeful was on the president's program, but he did his work so well that he was prevailed upon to turn two more before surrendering the spade to the church officials. The women of the church gave the president a large bouquet of roses for himself and Mrs. Coolidge. With a view to aiding the 2,712 former service men who will complete their vocational training this month, and the 15,882 additional to be rehabilitated from now until the first of the new year, Frank T. Hines, director of the Veterans' Bureau appealed to employers throughout the country to give the veterans an opportunity to start life anew by providing them with positions for which they have been trained. As the result of the murder of Maja Robert Imbrie, the American vice consul at Teheran, the United States government has served a vigorous demand upon Persia for the protection of American lives and interests in that country, it was announced officially at the State Department. The American note was lengthy, but blunt. No words were minced in making it plain to Persian authorities that the United States regards the killing of Imbrie as serious and that adequate reparations will be expected. FOREIGN Travel from England to Australia by crude oil-burning Zeppelin type airships in ten days is a commercial possibility within the next two years, according to Sir Keith Smith, noted Australian aviator. Soon after leaving port the liner Bergensford caught fire after there had been an explosion in the after-engine. The liner anchored in a side-arm of Christianford and landed all of her 450 passengers. The damage to the vessel is considerable. One hundred and sixty-nine persons were drowned in the wreck of the Tairel Maru off Cape Notoro, northeast of Hokkaido, says a dispatch to the Asahi, a leading Tokio newspaper. The Tairel Maru nominally is a freighter, but was carrying a number of passengers. Miguel Costa, commander of the Brazilian rebels at Sao Paulo, committed suicide in the main street of the city when he saw federal troops entering, said a dispatch from Sao Paulo received in Rio De Janeiro. Rebel forces fled from Sao Paulo towards the interior in two military trains. The soviet government has appropriated $32,000,000 for the purpose of coping with the threatened famine in Russia, according to an announcement made in Moscow by the central committee of the Communist party. Of this amount $15,000,000 will be used for seed and the rest for the direct assistance of the peasants in the worst affected areas. A pogrom in which it is known fifteen Jewish passengers were killed has taken place on a Russian boat in the river Djnesna, between Hakoshin and Novgorod Sewjerk, according to reports received at Riga from soviet Russia. The report asserts that an organized band, which attacked the boat, picked out the Jewish passengers, leaving the non-Jews alone. As the fighting between Brazilian government and revolutionary forces at Sao Paulo continues, conflicting reports as to the number of persons killed or injured as a result of the battle are being received in official advices reaching the State Department at Washington, D. C. A summary of the reports issued by the department says "it is believed that the rumors overestimate the casualties." Flood waters have submerged half the state of Cochin, causing loss of life and widespread damage among cattle and crops, according to messages received in Madras, British India, by the newspaper, Hindu. A teacher and sixty-four pupils in a boys' school at Cheruthumba are stated to have perished in the collapse of the school building. Thousands of persons in Calicut have been rendered homeless through the destruction of their domiciles. GENERAL Between $30,000 and $40,000 was obtained by six bandits who held up the First National bank at Highland, Ill. Limitation of political campaign speeches by radio to fifteen minutes, except in rare instances, is under consideration by some of the largest companies operating broadcasting stations in the Eastern states, was announced in Washington. Twenty persons, mostly negroes, and more than 6,000 head of cattle are reported dead in Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi from anthrax. An additional government expert has been rushed to Mississippi where Governor Whitfield reports eight persons and 5,000 head of cattle dead. Mrs. Mary Shank, held in jail at Frederick, Md., in default of $2,000 ball as the ringleader in the tarring and feathering of Miss Dorothy Grandon at Myersville, disclaimed the responsibility she assumed for the affair when she testified at the preliminary hearing and laid the blame for it on men of the village. A buffalo stampede and hunt in a residential district of San Francisco ended with the rounding up of twenty bulls and cows that broke from their paddock in Golden Gate park. The bisons, after breaking down the wire fence that kept them in their paddock, stamped to nearby lawns and forced citizens to seek places of safety. Five forest fires in California, two in Washington and one in Oregon engaged the attention of Pacific coast fire fighters last week. One fire in Oregon burned over 1,500 acres of Mayer park, on the Columbia River highway, near the Dalles. Cooler weather and higher humidity had relieved the general situation throughout California. The United States Railroad Labor Board postponed until Sept. 8 further hearing on the controversy between engine operatives and the western carriers. The two brotherhoods formally notified the board that they would not submit testimony in the case. It was the contention of the labor organizations that the board had no authority to assume jurisdiction of the dispute without the consent of both parties to the controversy. Eight alleged rum runners, 2,000 gallons of alcohol, a five-ton truck and a power boat were captured at South Boston by a detail of marines under Capt. Archibald Young. The arrests were made at the point of rines and the prisoners did not submit until three shots had been fired. When seized, two gallons of alcohol remained aboard the boat, the remainder having been transferred to the truck. Fourteen miners were injured, four critically, when a cavein occurred at the Lamont mine of the H. C. Frick Coke Company at Unlontown, Pa.

Gunnison.—Prof. W. A. Manuel, head of the department of chemistry at Western State College, here, was seriously injured, perhaps fatally, when a tank of acetylene gas which he was filling, exploded. The explosion destroyed the sight of one eye, tore off one ear, and caused severe burns and lacerations about the head. Hayden.—Caught under the falling sweep of a haystacker operating on the Carey ranch, six miles from here, William Gourley, Jr., a School of Mines student, received injuries from which he died a short time later. Gourley bled to death from a severed jugular within a few minutes after the accident. At the time he was working with a gang of men stacking hay. He was employed on the ranch by the Harvester Investment Company for the summer. Silverton.—What police authorities term the largest raid ever staged in southwestern Colorado was made by state prohibition officers under direction of John R. Smith in Silverton. Twenty-four persons, including three women, were arrested and a large supply of liquor confiscated. Las Animas.—Baggage and letters found in the wreckage of a new car which was struck by a Santa Fe passenger train twenty miles east of here identified the two passengers, a man and a woman, who appeared to be about 50 years old, as Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Darrin of Pleasanton, Kan. Mr. Darrin was killed instantly, while his wife was injured fatally. They were both brought to Las Animas. Colorado Springs.—Dr. A. J. Monahan, county health officer at Pueblo, was killed, George Willock of Denver was injured seriously, and his wife, Mrs. Minnie Willock, and daughter, Eulalia, suffered minor injuries when the car which Willock was driving with Monahan in the front seat, skidded in the sand and turned over in a ditch while rounding a right angle curve on the Denver-Colorado Springs road.

CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS Montrose.—The wild career in crimes of three Denver youths came to an end, according to Sheriff Roy Laird of Ouray, when the daring attempt of the youths to escape from the Ouray jail was frustrated only after a loaded shotgun and a quantity of shells had been taken from under a bunk in their cell. The daring chain of crimes which the youths have admitted, according to the sheriff, includes the robbery of two stores and a postoffice, the hold-up of pedestrians and the theft of several automobiles. Their trail of banditry, they are said to have admitted, began in Denver and led to a number of Colorado towns until they were captured near Norwood, Colo., by a lone, unarmed citizen. Trinidad.—A father and two of his daughters were killed and four children were injured, one of them possibly fatally, when the automobile in which the seven were riding was struck by a coal train at a grade crossing near Berwind, fifteen miles north of here. The dead man was the father of two of the injured children and the other two youngsters were their playmates who had gone with them for an afternoon ride. The coal train which struck the automobile was being pushed by an engine which had been placed at the end of the cars. The dead: Edward Bludworth, Trinidad; Katie Bludworth, 10 years old, his daughter; Anna Bludworth, 11 years old, another daughter. Colorado Springs.—Eastern El Paso county and eastern Colorado farmers are experiencing their best season in history, according to word brought here by F. H. Faus, general agent for the Rock Island railroad with headquarters in Colorado Springs, who has just returned from a swing around a fifty-mile circle radiating from Colorado Springs. Crop and stock production will be bigger than for several years with a high market anticipated already on the up-grade. Wheat already has begun to move. Colorado Springs.—The movement initiated at a meeting here by the women, at which resolutions were adopted protesting the plan of the War Department for National Defense day, was roundly scored by ex-service men in Colorado Springs, with Legionnaires, C. M. T. C. leaders and veterans of the World war denouncing such action. The resolutions adopted at the meeting called for women to hold peace services Sept. 12 and to protest in every way against the War Department's plan. Monte Vista.—Boosters for the Monte Vista Ski-Hi stampede, 150 strong, in automobiles, made a trip through the state.

DANIEL CURTIS TELEPHONE MAIN 1511 Main 1274 CAPTAINS OF ADVENTURE By ROGER POCOCK Copyright by Bobba-Merrill Company In the heart of the city of Victoria, B. C., I once found an old log barn, the last remnant of Fort Camosun, and climbing into the loft, kicked about in a heap of rubbish from which emerged some damp rat-gnawed manuscript books. From morning to evening, and far into the dusk, I sat reading there the story of a great adventures, a heroine of tonnage and displacement, the first steamer which ever plied on the Pacific ocean. Her builders were Messrs. Boulton and Watt, and Watt was the father of steam navigation. She was built at Blackwall on London river in the days of George IV. She was launched by a duchess in a poke bonnet and shawl, who broke a bottle of wine against the ship's nose and christened her the Beaver. Then the merchant adventurers of the Hudson's Bay company, in bell toppers, Hessian boots and white chokers, gave three hearty cheers. The Beaver was as ugly as it was safe to make her, but built of honest oak, and copper bolted, her engines packed in the hold, and her masts brigantine-rigged for the sailing voyage round Cape Horn. She went under convoy of the barque Columbia, a slow and rather helpless chaperon, who fouled and nearly wrecked her at Robinson Crusoe's island. Her master, to judge by the ship's books, was a peppery little beast, who logged the mate for a liar: "Not correct D. Hone;" drove his officers until they went sick, quarreled with the Columbia's doctor, found his chief engineer "in a beastly state of intoxication," and finally, at the Columbia river, hounded his crew into mutiny. "Mr. Phillips and Mr. Wilson behaved," says the mate, "in a most mutinous manner." So the captain had all hands aft to witness their punishment with the cat o'-nine-tails. Phillips called on the crew to rescue him, and they went for the captain. Calling for his sword, the skipper defended himself like a man, wounding one seaman in the head. Then he "succeeded in tying up Phillips, and punishing him with two dozen lashes with a rope's end over his clothes," whereupon William Wilson demanded eleven strokes for himself, so sharing the fun, for better or worse, with a shipmate. Fort Vancouver, on the Columbia river, an old stockade of the Nor'westers, was at this time the Hudson's Bay company's capital on the Pacific coast, where reigned the great Doctor McLauchlan, founder of Oregon. Here the Beaver shipped her paddles, started up her engines, and gave an excursion trip for the ladies. So came her voyage under steam out in the open Pacific of eight hundred miles to her station on the British Columbian coast. She sailed on the last day of May in 1836, two years before the Atlantic was crossed under steam. On the Vancouver coast she discovered an outcrop of steam coal, still the best to be had on the Pacific ocean. In her days of glory, the Beaver was a smart little warship trading with the savages, or bombarding their villages, all the way from Puget Sound to Alaska. In her middle age she was a survey vessel exploring Wonderland. In her old age the boiler leaked, so that the engineer had to plug the holes with a rag on a pointed stick. She was a grimy tug at the last, her story forgotten; and after fifty-two years of gallant service, was allowed to lie a weed-grown wreck within a mille of the new city of Vancouver, until a kindly storm gave her the honor of sea burial. It was in 1851 that the Beaver brought to the factor at Fort Simpson some nuggets of the newly discovered Californian gold. At first he refused to take the stuff in trade, next bought it in at half its value, and finally showed it to Edenshaw, head chief of the Haida nation. As each little yellow pebble was worth a big pile of blankets, the chief borrowed a specimen and showed it to his tribe in the Queen Charlotte islands. There is a legend that in earlier days a trader found the Haidas using golden bullets with their trade guns, which they gladly exchanged for lead. Anyway an old woman told Edenshaw that she knew where to find the stuff, so next day she took him in a small dugout canoe to the outer coast. There she showed him a streak seven inches wide, and eighty feet in length, of quartz and shining gold, which crossed the neck of a headland. They filled a bushel basket with loose bits, and left them in the canoe while they went back for more. But in the stern of the canoe sat Edenshaw's little son watching the dog fish at play down in the deeps. When the elders came back Charlie had thrown their first load of gold at the dog fish, and later on in life he well remembered the hands of blessing laid on by way of reward. Still, enough gold was saved to buy many bales of blankets. Edenshaw claimed afterward that, had he only known the value of his find, he would have gone to England and married the queen's daughter. News spread along the coast and soon a ship appeared, the Hudson's Bay company's brigantine Una. Her people blasted the rocks, while the Indians, naked and well oiled, grabbed the plunder. The sailors wrestled, but could not hold those oily rogues. In time the Una sailed with a load of gold, but was cast away with her cargo in the Straits of Fuca. Next year Gold Harbor was full of little ships, with a gunboat to keep them in order while they reaped a total harvest of two hundred eighty-nine thousand dollars. The British warship Thetis had gone away when the schooner Susan Sturgis came back for a second load, the only vessel to brave the winter storms. One day while all hands were in the cabin at dinner the Indians stole on board, clapped on the hatches and made them prisoners. They were marched ashore and stripped in the deep snow, pleading for their underwear, but only Captain Rooney and the mate were allowed that luxury. The seamen were sold to the Hudson's Bay company at Fort Simpson, but the two officers remained in slavery. By day they chopped firewood under a guard, at night crouched in a dark corner of a big Indian house, out of sight of the fire in the middle, fed on such scraps of offal as their masters deligned to throw them. Only one poor old woman pitted the slaves, hiding many a dried clam under the matting within their reach. Also they made a friend of Chief Bearskin's son; and Bearskin himself was a good-hearted man, though Edenshaw proved a brute. Rooney was an able-bodied Irishman, Lang a tall, broad-shouldered Scot, though this business turned his hair gray. For after the schooner was plundered and broken up, a dispute arose between Bearskin and Edenshaw as to their share of the captives. Edenshaw would kill Lang rather than surrender him to Bearskin, and twice the Scotchman had his head on the block to be chopped off before Bearskin gave in to save his life. At last both slaves were sold to Captain McNeill, who gave them each a striped shirt, corduroy trousers and shoes, then shipped them aboard the Beaver. Now it so happened that on the passage southward the Beaver met with the only accident in her long life, for during a storm the steering gear was carried away. Lang was a ship's carpenter, and his craftsmanship saved the little heroine from being lost with all hands that night. This rescued slave became the pioneer shipbuilder of Western Canada. ANDREW JACKSON A. D. 1813 The nations were playing a ball game: "Catch!" said France, throwing the ball to Spain, who muffed it. "Quick!" cried Napoleon, "or England will get it—catch!" "Caught!" said the first American republic, and her prize was the valley of the Mississippi. Soon afterward the United States joined Napoleon at war with Great Britain; and the old lion had a wild beast fight against a world-at-arms. In our search for great adventure let us turn to the warmest corner of that world-wide struggle, poor Spanish Florida. Here a large Indian nation, once civilized, but now reduced to savagery, had taken refuge from the Americans; and these people, the Greeks and Seminoles, fighting for freedom themselves, gave shelter to runaway slaves from the United States. A few pirates are said to have lurked there, and some Scottish gentlemen lived with the tribes as traders. Thanks perhaps to them, Great Britain armed the Greeks, who ravaged American settlements to the north, and at Fort Minns butchered four hundred men. Northward in Tennessee the militia were commanded by Andrew Jackson, born a frontiersman, but by trade a lawyer, a very valiant man of high renown, truculent as a bantam. Without orders he led two thousand five hundred frontiersmen to avenge Fort Minns by chasing the Spanish governor (in time of peace) out of Pensacola, and a British garrison from Fort Barrancus, and then (after peace was signed) expelled the British from New Orleans, while his detachment in Florida blew up a fort with two hundred seventy-five refugees. Such was the auspicious prelude to Jackson's war with the Creeks, who were crushed forever at the battle of Horseshoe Bend. Exercise for Tired Eyes Lie on your back and roll the eyes now to the left and then to the right, look up and then down. Look straight at the ceiling and then down. This exercises all the muscles and rests the eyes. Use a diluted boric acid eye wash; rest the eyes as much as possible. Pride of Ignorance Emerson once said, "There is guidance for each or us, and by lowly listening we shall hear the right word." Great minds are apt to be humble. It is the second-rate intellect that is so full of pride that it sneers at the very idea of guidance. PERSIA REPLIES TO U.S. DEMANDS ALL HONORS ARE TO BE PAID BODY OF SLAIN CONSUL BY PERSIA KILLERS BEING SOUGHT MODERATION OF THE DEMANDS IN UNITED STATES NOTE RELIEVES PERSIA Teheran, Persia. The press is generally relieved at what is regarded as the moderation of the American demands made in connection with the killing of Vice Consul Imbrie. The tone of the United States note is said to be greatly appreciated. The reply of the Persian government to the American communication apparently meets with the approval of the majority here. Washington.—The Persian note was forwarded to Washington by American Minister Kornfeld, at Teheran, to whom it had been addressed by the Persian foreign minister. It apparently was a full acceptance of the American demand that reparation be made, that those involved be punished, that Persia bear the cost of sending an American warship to bring home the body of the murdered vice consul, and that hereafter complete protection be given American citizens. It said: "As your excellency has observed, the government and people of Persia are extremely charged and depressed by the lamentable incident of Friday, July 18 (the day on which Vice Consul Imbrule was killed), and have expressed their feelings to that effect in numerous instances and in various ways. "You state that your excellency's government does not desire to approach the situation in such manner as to offend my government. The Persian government regards this as an evidence of the unequivocal good will and friendship of the American government and requests your excellency to be good enough to communicate its thanks and appreciation to the authorities of your government. "As I stated in the course of my letter number 9,155, the imperial government is making extreme efforts in pursuing and punishing the persons who caused and perpetrated the killing of Mr. Imbrie, and it will no hesitate to take any kind of steps in this connection. "Considering the official status of Mr. Imbrie, the deceased, the Persian government agrees with the suggestions of the United States government that the body of Mr. Imbrie be accorded honors during its transportation. The Persian government is concerned over the matter to such an extent that it would ship the remains of the /deceased consul to America aboard a Persian man-of-war if Persia possessed one. But inasmuch as it is unable to do so it agrees to pay the expenses which may be incurred by the dispatch of an American man-of-war to receive the remains. "As to the security of American citizens and particularly of American official representatives, the Persian government has always considered and will continue to consider this as its positive duty and gives assurance that it will by no means hesitate to fulfill this duty. It goes without saying that if the honorable legation deems it necessary the guards of the American legation and consulates will be increased. Railroad in Hands of Receiver. Sheridan, Wyo.—The Wyoming North & South Railroad Company and the North & South Railroad were ordered to be placed in the hands of a receiver by Judge James H. Burgess in the District Court at Buffalo, Wyo. The receivership was granted to satisfy a claim of $33,000 by O. A. Bartholomew, manager of the Cloud Peak Timber Company. He was joined in the action by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad and Roberts Brothers, Peterson, Shirley and Gunther, general contractors for the North & South road. Nine Sentenced Following Riots. Haverhill, Mass. The trial in District Court of twenty-one men alleged to have been concerned in the early morning clash here between klansmen returning from an initiation ceremony in Groveland and others resulted in a sentence of thirty days for one man and fines of $10 each for eight others on charges of disturbing the peace. They all appealed. Two of the four men who received gunshot wounds in the encounter are in the hospital. Spreckles Leaves $10,000,000 Estate San Francisco.—The will of the late Adolph B. Spreckles, San Francisco capitalist, filed for probate here, leaves the bulk of an estate, variously estimated from $8,000,000 to $10,000-000 to his three children and his widow, Mrs. Alma de Brettville Spreckles. The children are: Alma E., Adolph F., and Dorothy C. Spreckles. A bequest of $100,000 was made to charities and numerous smaller ones totaling about $18,000 to friends and domestics of the family. POINTS ON KEEPING WELL Dr. Frederick R. Green, Editor of "Health." DIABETES is a disease characterized by the presence of sugar in the urine. It has been known for thousands of years. Formerly regarded as a disease of the kidneys, it was found, about forty years ago, to be due to degeneration of the pancreas, following some infection, such as influenza or typhoid fever. It may be caused by obesity. In 1890, Langerhans found that only a part of the gland was destroyed in diabetics and that the pancreas was really two glands in one. One gland secretes the pancreatic juice, which goes into the small intestine and aids digestion. The other gland manufactures a substance which is taken up by the blood and which is necessary for sugar digestion. The parts of the gland which secrete this second substance are called the Islands of Langerhans. If these islands degenerate, then the sugar in the food, instead of being used by the body, is discharged through the kidneys. So that, no matter how much the patient eats, he is unable to get enough nourishment, because much of his food is thrown away. Diabetic patients have enormous appetites, but the more they eat the more poorly nourished they are. To make matters worse, the changed chemistry of the body produces an acid condition of the blood called acidosis, which eventually poisons the patient. He becomes unconscious—what is known as diabetic coma—and usually never awakens. In 1921, Dr. F. G. Banting, a young Canadian physician, determined to find this mysterious substance, the absence of which caused diabetes. After many experiments he succeeded in making a serum containing the secretion of the Islands of Langerhans, which he called insulin. It is now made from the pancreas of the hog, which contains more insulin than that of any other animal. Before the discovery of insulin the only thing the doctor could do for diabetics was to give them a starch and sugar-free diet. Since Doctor Banting's discovery it is possible to restore the diabetic patient to practically normal condition. The doctor weighs the patient's food, estimates the amount of sugar eaten and the amount of sugar excreted. Then he gives the patient enough insulin to digest the sugar taken into the body. This enables the body to absorb it. Insulin is not a cure for diabetes. It replaces the missing substance in the blood of the diabetic patient and so enables him to lead a normal life. It is not a substitute for other methods of treatment. Careful diet and ways of living are still necessary. It is possible that its continued use may restore the pancreas to normal, it least in mild cases, but this we do not know, as yet. GOOD FOOD SURPASSES DRUGS NEW YORK city spends thirty-five million dollars each year maintaining its hospitals. Of this amount, ten millions, or nearly one-third, are spent for food. This is quite different from the old idea of a hospital. People used to think they went to a hospital to take medicine. They know better now. A hospital is a place for making slick people well, not for dosing them unnecessarily. A hundred years ago doctors didn't know what caused diseases or how they could be prevented, so the only thing they could do was to give such medicines as they had, in the hope of restoring the patient to health. The wise doctor today doesn't give any medicine unless he knows that it's going to help the patient. Of course, this means that what medicine is given today is much more necessary and beneficial than the larger quantitles that used to be administered. Doctors give fewer drugs today because they know more than their predecessors did. Hospitals spend more money for food than they do for medicines, because they know that every patient needs to be properly nourished, while comparatively few need drugs. With our better knowledge of the chemistry of foods and the processes of digestion we are able to combine feeding and medication in a way that the old-time doctor never thought of. A certain amount of iron is necessary for health. If you must have it in a hurry your doctor gives you a prescription containing iron, which will rapidly increase the amount of iron in your blood. But he would rather give it to you in a natural way through your food. The iron you get in fresh vegetables and fruits is better suited for your bodily needs than the iron you get in pills and in bottles. So the doctor today gives his patients, either at home or in the hospital, many needful substances in their food which he formerly had to give in the form of medicines. When he does give medicine, he gives it because it is necessary and he gives the smallest amount that will do the work. Every capable physician knows today that it is just as important for his patient to have the right kind of food as the right kind of medicine.

Only 1-cent and 2-cent stamps LET US DO OUR DUTY HAVE you ever thought of how much it would mean to yourself and to others if you would just resolve to do your duty? Duty is the debt you owe for citizenship, protection and privilege; if you want these to be kept free and untrammeled then we ought to do our duty. Duty is a graver term than obligation and should receive the more allegiance. The progressive, clear-sighted, colored citizens of the City and County of Denver and State of Colorado have important duties to perform this year at the primaries and precinct caucuses. The selection of officers and the proper delegates to the convention determines the kind of nominees we may expect on the ticket. The time to think of the harvest is after you have cleared the ground, broken the soil and planted the seed. If you don't do your duty before the harvest, there will be no harvest. This law is as true in politics as it is in nature. We admit we can not do much alone. There must be numbers acting together to secure results. To do your duty then is to convince others of the justice of your position and the necessity of making their service and vote count for the party and the race. Every additional voter that you interest and secure to co-operate for the cause you help forward the movement for justice to the Negro just so much. There are four places where your full duty ought to be done, i. e., the Assembly primaries, the convention and the polls, and the one grand insignia of your sovereignty at these crucial stages of citizenship is the ballot. The Citizens with their ballots have built up this city and state just as carpenters and masons have built it with their tools, and it remains for them to keep it in a healthy condition by their continued interest in the state's welfare. This interest is determined by the way and manner in which you do your duty. WHERE THE SHOE PINCHES GENERALLY speaking, the sharpest race prejudice in the South is exhibited by the poorer class of white people, whether farmers, artisans or unskilled workers, who come into active competition with the Negroes, or from politicians who are seeking the votes of this class of people. It is this element which has driven the Negroes out of more than one community in the South and it commonly forms the lynching mobs. A similar antagonism of the working classes exists in the North wherever the Negro has appeared in large numbers—as I shall show when I come to write of the treatment of the Northern Negro. On the other hand, the large land owners and employers of the South, and all professional and business men who hire servants, while they dislike and fear the Negro as a race (through often loving and protecting individual Negroes), want the black man to work for them. More than that, they MUST HAVE HIM; for he has a practical monopoly on labor in the South. White men of the employing class will do almost anything to keep the Negro on the land and his wife in the kitchen—so long as they are obedient and unambitious workers. The Negro's improvement, his slow but steady growth in culture and capacity, is the thing that galls the poorer classes of white people. To imagine himself a less fit human being that a Negro severely wounds the pride of the white man of small culture. The more ignorant he is the greater is his prejudice. The accompanying fear of a growing competition in the labor field makes the situation all the more aggravating, for the struggle for existence is not most easily met by those who have the least difficulty in preparing for it. But the inflamed sentiment arising out of these conditions of embittered pride and fear of material superiority does not promise well for the future of either race. A change of some kind will have to come over existing conditions. The justice of the case demands laws that will cultivate the higher instincts of both races. These the politicians will oppose as long as selfishness and cupidity are allowed to hold sway in American public affairs. But this will not be forever, for the salvation of the country depends upon the universal realization of those ideals upon which the earliest struggles of the nation were founded. TOO EASILY CONTENTED THE progress of the world indicates that contentment is one of the greatest afflictions that can beset mankind. If contentment were an asset that could never be disturbed this assertion might not be regarded as true, but as progress brings power and power ever seeks its own increase, a contented people, and therefore a non-progressive people, is sure, in time to become the prey and the serf of the restless elements of humanity. That discontent which makes a people strive ceaselessly for greater power is not an attribute of unhappiness, as unhappiness is measured in the minds of men, for the knowledge of increasing power is a greater source of happiness than the knowledge of temporary, but precarious peace and plenty. The assurance and security and the inherent power of self-protection is the greatest asset of happiness that a people can attain and this condition of self-sufficiency can only be maintained by ceaseless effort and striving. The unequalled power of the Caucasian races has grown out of this unremitting effort for self-security and improvement. It has carried them to the nominal mastery of the world, and made all meek and contented races their subjects or their prey. It is asserted in the individual the same as in the collective race, and is reflected in the pride, the self-assumption and the authority over others which the power of their kind makes them to feel to be their heritage and their right. The development of a similar power in other races is the only thing that preserves the autonomy of those races and gives them respect and independent character and standing in the world. The Negro remains the only great race on earth that is content. In the depth of barbarity there is no ground for censure, but the Negro in civilization is far too easily satisfied. The liberty for which he strives is not of that insatiable character which yearns for self-reliance and independent power. He has not yet caught the spirit of unrest, though of all freemen his lot is the hardest. Individually he is too content with peace and little. Those who direct the activities of this groping race, ought to endeavor to make more and more keen the discontent and unrest which its real progress depends. STATE ASSEMBLY—AUGUST 6—CANDIDATE FOR UNITED STATES SENATE—HON. CHARLES W. WATERMAN the leader of the "Coolidge for President" campaign is engaging all the energy mentally and physically he can summon, along with his corps of valuable assistants to insure a large majority, in fact to carry the state of Colorado by a large margin for the man he believes the American people will delight to honor in their election of him next November. Identifying himself with the campaign in this manner, has won for Mr. Waterman an endorsement from a number of Colorado citizens, in his effort to secure the short term senatorial position, and at the REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY to be held in the City Auditorium next Monday, August 6, there ought to be nothing else than the unanimous support of the delegates, to a man, who, besides his exceptional ability in the legal profession to fill the position, merits the same for his loyalty, devotion and advocacy of the Republican party extending over a period of forty years. The COLORADO STATESMAN is again pleased to contribute its support to Mr. Waterman, and will do all in its power to insure a large plurality among Denver and Colorado citizens, by giving from time to time the facts concerning this aspirant for the Senate, of whom we think none more worthy and capable to be entrusted with the people's destinies at this time. Knowing Mr. Waterman as we do, we are sure there will be no disappointment to the public when in the placing of their confidence in his hands, he will in turn offer every satisfaction to his constituency in the way he will safeguard their interests and assist the Chief Executive in piloting safely the Ship of the Nation. 6006 BLOOD TABLETS are safer than 606.

SPIRITUAL MUSICAL Given by the Community Choral Club Zion Baptist Church MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 4TH Program Starts at 8 o'clock ADMISSION 25c Prof. Shirley J. Liggins, Director A Social Force Unshackling Our People for the Great Adventure GIANT POWER is a term coined to suggest the realization of far-reaching social objectives through a vaulting engineering technique. We conceive Giant Power as a social force unshackling our people for the Great Adventure. Giant Power is also the equivalent of the sum total of controlled and interconnected mechanical energy within an area, the limits of which are fixed—not arbitrarily as by state lines or by the historical development of some public or private enterprise—but by technical considerations. In a way we have always had such pools of power—every independent power plant with its distribution wires constituted such a system. But now that the distance factor is all but removed, these interconnected areas spread out wondrously—their radial power lines extending hundreds of miles in every direction from common generating centers. Giant Power means giving to every producer of current an opportunity to add to a common stock and to every user an opportunity to draw therefrom. Giant Power means the practice on the broadest possible scale of every possible economy, such as the pooling of standby facilities and the elimination of every waste, such as that due to a low power factor. But Giant Power also means the education of the public to the point where it can intelligently and fully co-operate with public and private enterprise in these objectives. We approach the time when the load factor of a community may be made to mean more than the interest rate or the cost of living index. One of the most pronounced and untoward effects of the Industrial Revolution with its mechanical power was the massing of population in urban centers. If, under the Giant Power dispensation, mechanical energy can not only be made cheap but distributed broadly, authorities agree in predicting a spreading out of population—a veritable "back to the-land" movement. General School Museum in Two Cities Proven Exceedingly Useful Museums in schools consist usually of objects which have been brought in by the children. If this material is not kept too long, it may be used to great advantage, but practice has demonstrated over and over again that objects kept for long periods in the classroom or in the school become uninteresting and clog the wheels of progress. Therefore a permanent museum in a school is not to be desired. In two cities the school systems have established general school museums. In St. Louis there is such a museum which is working actively and effectively. Hundreds of thousands of objects are available to teachers on call, and automobile trucks deliver them when needed. In Cleveland a similar though less ambitious plan is in operation. These projects have proven exceedingly useful. The typical school collection consists of perhaps a dozen objects in a carrying case and accompanied by descriptive matter. Experience has proved that for most purposes a few simple objects are much to be preferred to many elaborate ones, and also that objects which may be handled by the pupils, or at least isolated and studied individually, are of greater effectiveness than a set of objects displayed in a portable case with even the best of arrangement and labeling. The collection may be accompanied by charts and photographs, by stereoscopes and lantern slides, or even by a motion-picture film. The greatest usefulness of such collections is in connection with nature study, art, history, geography, reading and composition. "I Have Been Through Three Wars and I Do Not Want to See Another" By BRIG. GEN. PAUL B. MALONE, Address to Optimists. Victory, economic and military (the two go together), comes to the country with the trade control. Whenever two countries become strong in trade, they either unite or fight. It took the shock of the late World war to snow the American people that the United States occupies the position of leadership in the world. Will there be any future wars? I don't know. Peace monuments have been erected. But it is useless to try to get away from a disagreeable situation by denying its existence. The greatest peace work the United States ever did after the late World war was enactment of the national defense act. This provides for one-sixth regulars, two-sixths National Guards and three-sixths organized reserves. Within ten years your knowledge of the conflict will have perished. Of our millions of service men in the late war, only 30,000 will be subject to the draft. Where will we get our trained men? In the R. O. T. C. and the training camps. We don't want our army led by dubs. I've seen 80 men cut down by machine gun fire in a minute and half because they were led by a man who was not capable of leadership. A pacifist is a man who has been there. I have been through three wars and I do not want to see another. I've sent one boy through West Point and have another who will enter there. Importance of Waste-Paper Industry to America Little Appreciated The importance of the waste-paper industry to America is very little appreciated. The waste-materials industry is a highly organized American industry, with its ramifications. The waste-collection industry alone involves many millions of dollars. The paper manufacturers of the United States alone pay the waste-paper men $50,000,000 a year. And this represents about 2,000,000 tons of waste paper, which is the average consumption of the mills of the country. Were it not for the utilization of waste-paper, there would be a depletion of the forests amounting to some three hundred thousand acres of timberland every year. Instead of reaching the peak of possibilities of forest conservation by the use of waste paper, many think that there is a still greater future before the paper industry in the closer utilization of waste. The Forest Products laboratory at Madison has made extensive experiments with the de-inking of waste paper for the making of newsprint paper, and this can be done economically, producing at the same time a satisfactory grade of paper. If the Canadian campaign for the placing of an embargo on export of pulpwood to the United States is successful, a campaign which has been progressing for the last four years, there will be a further turning to waste paper for the production of newsprint, as well as book paper and paper board.

THEY BELIEVE IN THE COLO- RADO STATESMAN WE are very grateful to our subscribers for the prompt manner in which they are responding to our collector, and according to the telephone messages and letters received, the same is due to the courtesy of our solicitors and agents, coupled with the bright, newsy, clean and up-to-date newspaper that we have been giving the public for thirty years. Our experience in dealing with the public for this length of time, convinces us that a careful study of human nature will reveal not only the finer qualities and sensibilities of the educated and those having superior advantages due to their environments, but also the masses, who being intensely practical, give a greater evidence of their ability to cope with that larger and more useful side of life—"Live and let live"—as from beyond the seas, from remote corners of this country, from the largest and wealthiest firms of Denver and other places of the Mid-West to the peasant in his humble cot, each succeeding mail brings to the office of the COLORADO STATESMAN from high and low, rich and poor, "a business remembrance," which materially assists us to insure the publication of this—THE RELIABLE PEOPLE'S PAPER OF COLORADO. While we are thankful, yet as is generally known, the whole being made up of its parts, we trust that the good that some have done will lend an incentive to others so that we can continue to give the public the SAME GOOD SERVICE. Again we thank you! ADVENTIST LECTURES CONTINUE DURING AUGUST The great interest manifested in the lectures now being delivered in the S. D. A. church, Twenty-sixth and Ogden streets, compels the evangelist to continue during the month of August. Some of the most profound subjects will be delivered besides a good "old-time religion" revival and prayers for the sick. God has done great things with this man of God in other cities in saving the bodies as well as the souls of men, so don't miss the August series. His subject for Sunday, August 3: "Who Changed the Sabbath?—Was it the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, or the Apostles?"

"Cradle of the U.S. Navy" We're poor little mids who have lost our way— Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah! Cruising around on Chesapeake bay— Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah! Gentlemen sailors from over the lee, Bound to hell for eternity; God have pity on such as we— Bah! Bah! Bah! By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN UBTLESS this time-honored navy song was warranted in the days when it was written. But it's old stuff now. The United States Naval academy at Annapolis, Md., "Cradle of the Navy," doesn't seem to be such an awful bad sort of place. And it's a fair guess that the 1,900 undergraduate midshipmen who are off in four battleships for a three- OUBTLESS this time-honored navy song was warranted in the days when it was written. But it's old stuff now. The United States Naval academy at Annapolis, Md., "Cradle of the Navy," doesn't seem to be such an awful bad sort of place. And it's a fair guess that the 1,900 undergraduate midshipmen who are off in four battleships for a three-months' practice cruise in European waters will not be in continuous need of pity. It was back in the old days before the Civil war that the middies used to cruise around on Chesapeake bay. It was in the early Fifties that the practice cruises were begun. The first cruising middles navigated Chesapeake bay on the John Hancock and finished up on the sloop of war Preble off the coast of Maine. During the Civil war the middies got their practice on Union ships searching for Confederate privateers. One of the later practice ships was the famous old sailing frigate Constellation, built in 1798, which took a summer cruise every year from 1871 to 1893. In the period of American naval decadence after the Civil war the middies got their practice on almost any old kind of hull that would float. At that their lot was happy compared with that of the middies of the still older days. Originally a midshipman was a sort of messenger boy on a ship of war to run errands for the officers. The old sea dogs of early days did not believe in educating these embryo admirals and gave them few advantages. In the American navy of a hundred years ago the middies were so much to be pitied that they came to be a scandal. They were a penniless, a knocked-about, half-starved and ragged lot. Here's what usually happened when one of our warships touched at a foreign port. The middles took ashore with them everything portable and salable — sextants, chronometers and the like—determined to have a square meal at all costs. Nowadays a middle has clothes, lots of clothes —white service, blue service, dress uniforms, etc., etc., a whole wardrobe. In those days there weren't clothes enough to go around. Why, the scarcity of clothing got to be a joke all along our coast. It was well understood that not more than a third or a half of the midshipmen's mess could be counted on to attend a governor's ball or other social function. So the hosts and hostesses had a good laugh over the minority representation and the "bare majority" that stalked aboard ship. Speaking of clothes, everyone knows that a uniform plays havoc with a maiden's heart. Why, no less than ten of this year's class got married the minute the graduating exercises were over, Chaplain Sydney K. Evans performing seven marriages right on the spot. Doubtless there were some real romances; the fame of the sailor as a lover is world-wide. Anyway, an ensign from Arizona married a maid from Charleston, S. C.; a hero from New York city captured a bride from Hallfax, N. S., and an embryonic admiral from Utah made an Annapolis beauty strike her colors. And when the 1,900 undergraduates went aboard the warships for foreign waters bound—what a scene was staged at Santee basin. Girls, girls, girls in the crowd on the dock to say farewell for three long months—and maybe forever—and not few of them in tears as subchasers and cutters carried away the middles to the big fighting ships out on the bay. These are the warships of the squadron: Wyoming (flagship), New York, Texas and Arkansas. Vice Admiral Newton A. McCully is the squadron commander. The senior officer aboard the flagship, representing the Naval academy and In direct charge of the middles, is Commander Charles C. Clayton. The itinerary of the cruise includes Brest, Weymouth, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Gibraltar and Ponta Delgrada. It was in 1912 that the experiment of putting the middles of the two upper classes on battleships of the Atlantic fleet was first tried. The experiment proved a great success. These practice cruises are much allike. The first night is usually spent at anchor, while the middles are getting settled in their quarters and being assigned to the various technical divisions. It's a picturesque night; landlubbers struggling with hammocks would make a fetching circus stunt. At dawn the bugle rouses them from uneasy slumbers and the old-time cries are heard: "Rise and shine! Up, you lubbers! Lash and carry! Hit the deck, sailor! Hey! Show a leg there!" Thereupon the lubbers certainly rise. They may or may not shine in a strange world of deck-scrubbing and boiler-stoking and what not. However, mldldles are now—as ever—a hard-bolled lot and soon get down to business. They are usually allotted the starboard side of the ship, with the regular enlisted force on the port side, and they are sent in rotation to every part of the ship. How the times have changed, now that steam has supplanted sail! When Admiral Mahan—his name is a "household word" in the navy—began his days at sea a common drill for the mldldles, with the aid of a gunners mate, was "Up topgallant masts and yards and loose sail to a bowline!" To do it in three and a half minutes from the time the topmen and the masts started together from the deck was first-class seamanship. Nowadays a first-class man tending water in the fireroom takes just as much pride in holding the glass steady and doing a good job of coaling the fires. Pretty soon, with ships using oil for fuel the mldldles will no longer have cause to dread the fireroom; indeed, oil has already almost superseded coal. The "gentlemen sailors" will soon be fixed so nicely that they will not even be forced to listen to the remark sarcastic, if the new secretary of the navy, Curtis D. Wilbur, has his way. Secretary Wilbur is an 1888 Annapolis man himself—there's a tablet in the gymnasium recording his record high kick—and someone must have talked real mean to him in his day. Anyway, he said at the graduating exercises this year: Real leadership is based upon respect for the leader and such leadership can only be achieved by the possession of powers worthy of respect. Professional ability and accomplishments are the best foundation for permanent leadership, but there is an altogether different basis of leadership which finds its source in the heart rather than the head. Such leadership may command the ardent affection and devotion of the follower. Unless your rule over the 86,000 enlisted men of the navy be tempered by firmness, justice, sympathy and courtesy their services in many cases may be lost to the navy. Remember especially that sarcasm or biting witticism at the expense of a subordinate, especially if he is an enlisted man and thus incapable of retaliation, is unmanly and fatal to one's standing as a amused, the object of it has received a wound in his soul which may not heal. It is a safe rule, in dealing with a man under you to put yourself, by imagination, in his place. What I crave for you is that you may have and be worthy of exercising moral leadership. Middles of the present day are not starved on the battleships of the Atlantic fleet and when they are at the academy they get pure milk and good eats galore from the academy farm. Funny to think of sailors running a farm, isn't it? But that's just what the bureau of supplies and accounts does. This particular bureau, by the way, is said to be one of the most efficient business organizations in existence. Rear Admiral David Potter is at its head and it is bank, gents' furnishings store, grocery store and nearly everything else, all in one. And here's part of what Herbert Corey says about the farm in the Chicago Dally News: It sounds incredible. Sailors are persons in bell-muzzled breeches who go aboard about the land. But the sailors of the United States navy no longer haps the best farm in the United States. Listen: Near Annapolis, Md., the United States navy stores more than 900 acres. It was forced to buy that farm because the local farmers had been furnishing milk filled with typhoid germs to the students in the United States Naval academy. Congress loaned the navy $300,000 with which to buy and equip that farm. That money wasn't given. It was loaned. The total cost of running fund was included in it. That farm is today one of the best in the United States. It has $25 of the best cows you ever saw, pedigree, profitable, healthy, of which more than 200 are always fresh. It has paid back $50,000 of the borrowed money. It has $100,000 more ready to pay back if congress insists. And it is getting better and better in every way. It can be sold at a big profit except that the navy could not afford to sell. It used to be thought that the only way to get into Annapolis was through congressional appointment. In 1919 Lieut. Com. J. H. Falge and En- RESTIARY LBUR Mrs. Ewing ADMIRAL WILSON @Western Newspaper Union sign Wesley McL. Hague—the latter an ex-enlisted man who had just been graduated from the academy as an honor man—inaugurated a campaign to get enlisted men "of officer caliber." The incoming class has 70 enlisted men in it. An object lesson of what can be done in this way is the experience of George Nelson Robbillard. He enlisted in the navy in 1910. He was sent to the Oklahoma as an apprentice seaman and went through the regular routine for enlisted men. In addition he attended the Oklahoma's "Annapolis class," which was organized aboard for the purpose of coaching enlisted candidates. He then went to Newport, R. L., and joined the "N. A. P. C." This Naval academy preparatory class contained the pick of the navy's enlisted men sent from all ships and stations to compete for Annapolis appointments. Finally Robbillard was transferred to Annapolis, discharged from the navy and sworn in as a midshipman. He was graduated this year and has been assigned to the New York navy yard. A young fellow has to be a good deal of a chap to get into Annapolis. He must be between the ages of sixteen and twenty, unmarried. He must be of good moral character, physically sound, well formed and of robust constitution. The preliminary physical and mental examinations are rigid. But they are easy compared with the constant tests of the course. From 40 to 50 per cent is dropped before graduation because of inability to keep up with the game. Did you ever stop to think of the responsibilities of the commander of a United States warship in foreign waters even in times of peace? Well it is something tremendous. Aside from being responsible for the safety of the ship and the small army aboard, he represents the United States—he is the United States to all intents and purposes. So he must be fighting man, navigator, disciplinarian, diplomat and patriot—all kinds of man, each one just about 100 per cent efficient. So Uncle Sam cannot afford to waste time at his Naval academy on material that weakens under test. The course at the Naval academy specializes on requirements of the naval service. Instruction includes the following: discipline, seamanship, ordinance and gunnery, navigation, steam and marine engineering and naval construction, electrical engineering, physics, chemistry, mathematics, astronomy, history, tactics, naval hygiene and physiology, modern languages, drawing and physical training. There are 50 instructors, practically all of them naval officers. The midshipman binds himself for eight years, including the four in the academy. He must furnish his own clothing and books and receives $750 a year from Uncle Sam. The Naval academy was founded in 1845 by George Bancroft, secretary of the navy in Polk's administration. In those days it was called the "Naval school" and the boys were "naval cadets." Along about 1898 Uncle Sam complained to congress that the buildings were old and inadequate. Congress told Uncle Sam to go ahead and fix the place up right. Uncle Sam did—to the extent of about $12,000,000. And along about 1908 Uncle Sam completed by far the finest and best-equipped naval school in the world. There are 200 acres on the Severn river at Annapolis. The buildings include Bancroft hall, with Memorial hall at its center, Dahlgren hall, the Armory, the Seamanship and Gymnasium building, the Steam Engineering building and the Chapel, with a dome 210 feet high. In short, the United States Naval academy is a first-class institution. This is emphasized by the fact that the present superintendent is no less a man than Admiral Henry B. Wilson. He is himself a graduate of the academy class of 1881 and thus has worked his way up through all the grades from midshipman to commander in chief of the Atlantic fleet. The graduating class this year numbered 525. They have been assigned by the Navy department to ships and to shore stations. Not all of the graduates will remain in the service. About 60 have availed themselves of the privilege of resigning, in accordance with an order of the Navy department. Twenty-five have accepted commissions in the Marine corps and seven have joined the supply corps of the navy. Commencement week at Annapolis is a great performance and attracts many visitors. This year there was a mimic war game, in addition to the dress parade. The climax is the "farewell ball" in Dahlgren hall. This year Mrs. Wilson handed the receiving line and more than 2,000 attended the ball. Secretary Wilbur presented the diplomas and made the commencement address. WASHINGTON SIDELIGHTS C. W. Bryan Next President? Capital Asks Vets Still at Sea Over Bonus Payments Expect Plea Soon for Cut in Sugar Duty U. S. Turns Down Mutual Assistance Pact WASHINGTON. "The greater brother tried in vain for it three times. Now it begins to look as though the lesser brother has a real chance." This is the talk in Washington. The subject is the Presidency of the United States. The greater brother is William Jennings Bryan. The lesser is Charles W. Bryan, Democratic nominee for the vice presidency. It has been announced that William Jennings will campaign for the Democratic ticket, but, it is asserted, the object in view is not the election of John W. Davies, but of the lesser brother, Charles W. The basis of all calculations is the independent candidacy of Robert La-Follette for President. The Wisconsin senator, it is believed, will force the election of President into the house of representatives, and if he can effect a deadlock there, which is held likely, the vice president elected by the senate will become President. At national elections, the people in reality vote for presidential electors and not for the candidates. It is possible for a candidate to receive the popular vote and still be defended because of the uneven powers given to the states in the electoral college. The number of electors from each state is equal to that state's representation in congress, so heavily populated states, like New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois, have preponderant strength, as they do in conventions. MANY letters to Washington these days come from World war veterans who are anxious to know how much money they are to receive and when they are to receive it—all despite the repeated and widely announced statements during the progress of the passage of the adjusted compensation bill that the law would not provide for the payment of a cash bonus. Only in one case will a payment be made in cash, officials announce, and that is in the instance where adjusted service credits amount to $50 or less. Such veterans will be paid the full amount in cash, but no payments will be made until March 1, 1925. The same exception is made for the duly entitled dependents of such veterans who are deceased. All other veterans or their dependents will receive adjusted service certificates, dated January 1, 1925, when application has been made prior to that date, but when the application is made thereafter the certificates will be dated as of the first day of the month in which the applications are made. At the end of 20 years from date the certificates will be redeemed in cash, or if the veteran should die within that period the full amount due un- THREE of the six members of the tariff commission are expected shortly to recommend to President Coolidge a reduction in the duty on sugar by about one-fourth, it is understood in Washington. A duty of about 1.35 cents per pound will be recommended by these three members, it is believed. The present rate on Cuban sugar, after allowing for the 20 per cent preferential rate applying on all imports from Cuba, is 1.76 cents per pound. The emergency tariff rate was 1.6 cents and the former Underwood rate was 1 cent. The three commissioners who are expected to recommend that President Coolidge reduce the rate to about 1.35 cents under the authority of the flexible tariff are W. S. Culbertson, vice chairman, Republican; David J. Lewis, Democrat, and E. P. Costigan, Independent. Retention of the present duty will be urged, it is thought, by Thomas O. Marvin, chairman, and William Burgess, the two protectionist Republican members of the commission. The sixth member, H. H. Glassie, Democrat, withdrew from participation in the sugar investigation because of the financial interest of a member of his family in a Louisiana sugar company, THE United States government has refused to enter into the treaty of mutual assistance proposed by the League of Nations and has made known its decision to the assembly of the league at Geneva. Believing that the fundamental principle of the treaty is to provide guarantees of mutual assistance and to establish the competency of the council of the league with respect to any decisions contemplated, the government said that in view of the United States Constitution and of the fact that America is not a member of the league, it would find it impossible to give its adherence to the treaty. The communication from Washington added that the government has not failed to note that under article 17 of the treaty any state may give its partial adherence provided it is prepared to reduce its armaments in conformity with the treaty. To be elected President, a candidate must receive a majority of the electoral college vote. With LaFollette in the race this year, and certain to carry several states, some with large electoral college power, the three-sided struggle is very likely to result in no candidate winning a majority in the electoral college. The Constitution provides that in such case the house of representatives shall elect, from the three highest candidates, the next President and that the senate shall elect, from the three highest candidates for that office, the next vice president, and that if the house cannot elect, the senate's choice for vice president shall become President. It would be within the power of LaFollette and three other radical Republican senators and the two Farmer-Laborites to put over Gov. Charles W. Bryan. The Nebraska governor advocates measures that do not widely differ from some of the major planks of the LaFollette platform. There is no gainsaying the fact that he would be preferred to Dawes by most of the radical Republican senators and that he would stand a better chance than Dawes of being elected by the present senate in which LaFollette and his group hold the balance of power. All this according to the wiseacres and gossips of the capital. der the certificate will be paid the beneficiary named by him. Certificates will not be issued to dependents of veterans who died without having made applications, but the amounts of the adjusted service credits due will be paid to the dependents in cash in ten equal quarterly installments, except as noted, when the amount is less than $50. These cash payments will not be begun prior to March 1, 1925. Another feature of the bonus letters that are being received is the surprisingly large number of veterans said to have left their wives and families. One wife writes that after she had been married but a few months she went visiting and when she returned home she found her husband had disappeared. Now she has a baby to remind her of him and she also has his discharge papers and a fixed determination to get his bonus. Unfortunately unless she has proof of his death she has no claim under the law. Another wife says her husband is at large and she has no means of knowing where he is, as he gives no address when he reports. She wants to know what will become of his bonus if he does not claim it. The only definite information that can be given her is that she cannot claim it until she knows he is dead. his withdrawal following action by congress prohibiting the payment of salaries to members of the tariff commission who might take part in cases affecting industries in which they were in any way interested. The sugar investigation has been the most important before the tariff commission since enactment of the flexible tariff law in September, 1922. The investigation of sugar duties has been in progress for about a year and a half. It was ordered on the basis of an application for a decrease in duty filed by Americans with sugar interests in Cuba. The proposed decrease in duty has been opposed by western beet sugar interests and Louisiana cane sugar growers, both of whom have insisted that the Fordney-McCumber rate is not high enough. President Coolidge's action in this case will be of far reaching importance not only because of its effect upon the sugar industry, but also because precedent will be established in constructing the flexible tariff law. One of the most important questions upon which the President must pass is whether average costs of production should be figured over a period of a number of years or whether present conditions should be taken as a basis. However, it concludes that it would not serve any useful purpose to consider the question of conditional or partial adherence when the conditions imposed "would of necessity be of such a character as to deprive adherence of any substantial effect." The communication emphasized the desire of the United States that appropriate agreements be reached to limit armaments and thus to reduce heavy burdens on the nation. It was pointed out that this desire was manifested when the American government convoked the great military and naval powers to the Washington conference. "The government of the United States," the Washington message read, "having reduced its armament, continues to cherish the hope that the desired result in the case of the other powers may be achieved, and notes with keen and sympathetic interest every endeavor to that end." FAMILY PICNIC Ice Cream Can Be Carried on an Automobile Picnic Trip. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) There should be a deliberate effort during the summer months to seize every opportunity for providing the mother of the family with this or other means of relaxation. A whole day without cooking, dishwashing, sewing or any of the heavier home tasks goes a long way toward resting weary muscles. Even if a picnic meal is a good deal of bother to prepare beforehand, and sandwiches take time to make, when everyone lends a hand and the right materials are chosen for the picnic lunch, it may be both easy and hearty, and the change will do everyone a world of good. Then have cheese, luscious whole tomatoes, fruit, simple buns of some sort, and bottled milk for the Also, why not take a freeze ice cream along, suggests the States Department of Agriculture.

AVERT UPHEAVAL IN SPRING BY SYSTEM Discomfort to Entire Household Can Be Avoided. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Housecleaning need not be the bugbear it has long been regarded in many households, says the United States Department of Agriculture. If the work is carefully planned, if the kind of furnishings that are easy to keep clean are chosen and handled in the right way, and if provision is made for keeping all the dirt possible out of the house, there will be no need for the upheavals that result in discomfort to the entire household. Moreover, this systematic housecleaning saves labor in the end and is economical of the materials used in the furnishings and care of the house. The more important points to keep in mind may be summarized as follows: Keep dirt out of the house by cleaning the walks, steps, porches and sills regularly and often, by screening windows and doors near the ground and by insisting on having muddy shoes and coats cleaned or left outside. Lessen the number of dust-collecting places, such as unnecessary cupboards, grooved and carved woodwork, floors with cracks, rough-finished walls, elaborately carved and upholstered furniture, superfluous draperies and brica-brac. Remove dirt frequently and systematically. This keeps the house and furnishings in better condition and makes the need of heavy cleaning less frequent. Clean by taking the dirt away, not by scattering it to settle again elsewhere. Do heavy cleaning a little at a time to avoid the hard work and discomforts of the old-fashioned spring and fall housecleaning. Have a supply of good cleaning tools, such as your work calls for, and keep them in good order in a convenient place. Use water and cleaning agents sparingly, because otherwise they may spill finishes and weaken glue, paste, or cement. Be on the lookout for troublesome insects and animals and take prompt measures to get rid of them if they appear. Make all the family help by leaving things where they belong and in good condition. Why Food Spoils Food generally shows when it is spoiled by an unpleasant look, taste, or smell. It may, however, be contaminated with organisms that make it unsafe for use, even though it still appears good. The causes of spoilage are many and varied, and foods differ greatly in the kind of care needed. Foods may be spoiled by bacteria, greases, molds; by changes produced by heat and cold, light, and loss or absorption of moisture; by insects and other household pests; and by parasites of food animals. Dirt and careless handling increase the chances of spoilage at every stage from the time food is produced until finally used. Right methods of care in the home can prevent or at least check much waste from these causes, the United States Department of Agriculture points out in a new Farmers' Bulletin, 1374, entitled "Care of Food in the Home." Quick Potato Soup A good soup that can be quickly made and served hot at school for lunch is recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture and made as follows: 2 teaspoonfuls butter or other fat A few drops of onion juice 1½ teaspoonful A few drops of salt onion juice Add the potatoes to the milk. Bring to the boiling point, then add the fat, salt, and onion juice. Serve with or without straining. This serves about six children with medium-sized portions, about a cupful each. Allow 1½ cupfuls for large portions. The KITCHEN CABINET Love is not getting, but giving; not a wild dream of pleasure, and a madness of desire—oh, no, love is not that—it is goodness and a joyous and noble life. Yes, love is that, and is the best thing in the world, and the thing that lives longest.—Henry Van Dyke. For the thirsty persons on a long outing by auto the vacuum bottle is the best of friends. Fill it with cold water, lemonade or leed tea, in fact anything you enjoy drinking. Milk, if flavored with a chocolate sirup, a little strong coffee, caramel or fruit sirups, malted milk combined with chocolate, if that is liked, makes a very wholesome and sustaining beverage. The following suggestions will be found easy to keep in the vacuum bottle. To prepare the chocolate slurp which is so well liked and which may be added to so many drinks, take four ounces of unsweetened chocolate, or seven-eighths of a cupful of cocoa, one and three-fourths cupfuls of sugar, one-eighth of a teaspoonful of salt, and one and one-half cupfuls of boiling water. Melt the chocolate over water, add the sugar, salt and the boiling water gradually, stirring and cooking until smooth. Boll five minutes, turn into a jar and keep in a cool place. Leftover cocoa may be iceed and served with a spoonful of whipped cream, making a tasty refreshing and nourishing drink. Adding a sprig of mint, a grating of orange or when the hot drink is made a small piece of stick cinnamon to the cocoa or chocolate, or two tablespoonfuls of pineapple sirup is a delicious addition to a chocolate drink. Chocolat ice cream soda is a delicious and cooling concoction if one has a siphon. Put three tablespoonfuls of chocolate sirup in a tall glass. Add one small ball of vanilla ice cream and fill the glass with soda water drawn from a siphon. Stir and serve at once. When plenicing, take the sirup and add the soda just before serving. Lemonade or other fruit drinks may be prepared already for the water and carried. Thermos bottles are a great help for those who do not care to make a fire, as hot coffee, ten milk or cocoa may be carried and served piping hot; as well as cold drinks. Butterscotch Sauce.—Take one and one-fourth cupfuls of brown sugar, one-half cupful of corn sirup, four tablespoonfuls of butter and cook until a soft ball is formed when tried in water. Now add three-fourths of a cupful of thin cream. If served on ice cream, add finely-chopped nuts sprinkled over the dessert. Maple sirup may be substituted for the brown sugar if one has plenty of that delectable sweet. Cookery means carefulness, inventiveness, watchfulness and readiness of appliances.—Ruskin. FOR PICNIC AND MOTOR PARTIES Many of these good things may be prepared on the spot when there are any conveniences for a fire; giving the outing the proper zest, if one helps to prepare the food. Egg Club Sandwich. Toast one side of sliced bread over a fire. Cook bacon in a frying pan and remove to the untoasted side of the bread. Fry eggs in the bacon fat. While the eggs are cooking lay a slice of tomato on the bacon, cover with mayonnaise dressing and a few bits of cooked chicken on the tomato, put the hot fried egg on the chicken, lay slices of cucumber on egg, cover with lettuce and mayonnaise and another slice of toast. Brambles.—Take one cupful of ralsins and one cracker put through the meat grinder, add one egg, one cupful of sugar, the juice and grated rind of a lemon. Mix well. Roll out pastry very thin and cut in four-inch squares; lay on a baking sheet. Put two teaspoonfuls of the mixture in one corner of the pastry, molten the edges with cold water halfway round, fold the pastry diagonally, making a triangle and press the edges together with a three-timed fork dipped in flour. Bake about fifteen minutes in a hot oven. Wrap in waxed paper and pack in a food hamper. Tongue Salad.—Take two cupfuls of diced boiled tongue, one cupful of diced celery, one-half cupful of walnut meats, a dozen minced olives and a cupful of mayonnaise dressing. Mix well and carry in a carton. Serve on fresh crisp lettuce, also packed and carried wrapped in a damp cloth and wrapped in waxed paper. An old-fashioned drink that is much enjoyed by the thirsty is prepared by stirring a tablespoonful of ground ginger with three or four tablespoonfuls of sugar, adding a pint or more of chilled water. Stir well; add ice and serve in lemonade glasses. Potatoes roasted in their skins, corn roasted in their husks are delicious eating. Nellie Maxwell sort, and bottled milk for the children. Also, why not take a freezer full of ice cream along, suggests the United States Department of Agriculture? The freezer will help to keep the milk and the butter chilled, also the tomatoes and possibly other salad material, or any berries in season. Picnic dishes, cups and tableware can hardly be dispensed with, though the mother of the family should not be permitted to wash a single utensil. Paper will do wonders at a picnic. If everybody bears in mind that outings like this constitute mother's vacation, there will be an affectionate competition as to who shall attend to the few details of preparation and clearing up connected with the trip. RECIPE FOR CHEESE AND MACARONI LOAF RECIPE FOR CHEESE AND MACARONI LOAF Combination Is Appetizing and Quite Popular. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The combination of cheese or cheese sauce with macaroni, spaghetti or noodles is always popular. As a variation of this way of serving cheese, the United States Department of Agriculture gives the following recipe for a Cheese and Macaroni Loaf. $ \frac{1}{2} $ cupful of maca- 1 table spoonful broken into butter 1 teaapoonful each of chopped onion and parsley 3 eggs small pieces 1 cupful of milk 1 cupful of soft bread crumbs 1 teaspoonful of salt ½ cupful of grated cheese Cook the macaroni in boiling water until tender and rinse in cold water. Cook the parsley, onion and pepper in a little water with the butter. Pour THE CHEESE BOX Cheese and Macaroni Loat. off the water or allow it to boil away. Beat the egg white and yolk separately. Mix all the ingredients, cutting and folding in the stiffly beaten whites at the last. Line a quart baking dish with buttered paper; turn the mixture into it; set the baking dish in a pan of hot water and bake in a moderate oven from one-half to three-fourths of an hour. Serve with tomato sauce. Prunes With Nut Meats For an emergency dessert, pit and mash cooked prunes, and add to them a few chopped nut meats—half a cupful to a pint of prune pulp. Strin in a tablespoonful of lemon juice and sprinkle 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar over the dish and serve with cream. This dessert may be put into individual pastry shells and decorated with whipped cream or a meringue of eggwhite and sugar, browned delicately. Children like this prune and nut mixture for a sandwich filling in their school lunches occasionally. Served on plain crackers, or between two crackers, it is appetizing with a cup of tea, surges the United States Department of Agriculture. Glaze for Pies When making a number of pies it is worth while to glaze them by brushing the upper crust with a mixture of 3 tablespoonfuls of milk to one well-beaten egg, says the United States Department of Agriculture. For a single pie it would hardly pay to use the egg unless what remained of the mixture could be utilized for pudding. French toast, or some other cooking. Brush the glaze on with a fork wrapped in a bit of clean muslin. (@.1924. Western Newspaper Union.) ICY DRINKS FOR HOT DAYS the best of friends.

( ©, 1924, Western Newspaper Union. ) The sweetest lives are those to duty wed, Where deeds both great and small, Are close-knit strands of an unbroken thread, Where love ennobles all. Bread is such a necessity in some form for all meals that we enjoy a Baking Pan Whole Wheat Nut Bread.—Take two cupfuls of scaled milk, add one-fourth of a cupful of sugar or molasses, one teaspoonful of salt, and when lukewarm add one one yeast cake, which has been softened in one-fourth of a cupful of lukewarm water; add two cupfuls of wheat flour and two and three-fourths cupfuls of whole wheat flour, beat well and let rise until double its bulk; beat again, flour the board well and knead lightly, adding one cupful of broken walnut meats. Put into bread pans and when light, bake in a moderate oven. Southern Spoon Bread.—Pour one cupful of boiling water over one-half cupful of cornmeal, stir, and cook for five minutes to keep from lumping. Add one-half teaspoonful of salt, a tablespoonful each of butter and sugar, one well-beaten egg and one-half cupful of milk. Pour into a well-buttered baking dish and bake in a moderate oven twenty minutes, letting it brown well before removing. Serve from the dish. Bran Bread.—Take four cupfuls of bran, two cupfuls of whole wheat flour, three-fourths of a cupful of New Orleans molasses, a teaspoonful each of salt and soda, two cupfuls of sweet milk, two tablespoonfuls of shortening, a few raisins or nuts if desired, and bake in a moderate oven one hour. Fig Bread.—Take two cupfuls of light bread dough, put into a bowl with one-half cupful of butter a pound of sugar, a cupful of milk a pound each of raisins and figs, a teaspoonful of salt, and spices to taste. Mix and place in bread pans. The fruit should be cut fine and be carefully blended with the dough. Two cupfuls of flour will be needed. Bake when well risen. This will keep and be as good as most fruit cakes. When food is burned on to cooking utensils, cover with soda and cold water, let stand for a few hours, and steel wool will remove every speck.

INVITING DISHES In these days of outings when a day autoing through the beautiful country gives us an appetite for all good food, the lunch basket is an important factor on a trip. The following are a few suggestions which may be helpful: JACKSON COUNTY MASSACHUSETTS Chicken and Nut Sandwiches.—Chop fine cold roast chicken, using such bits as are unavailable for other use. Mix with an equal part of finely minced celery, a generous amount of salad dressing and such seasonings as one likes. Spread on buttered bread. Fig and Sardine Sandwiches.—Take equal quantities of chopped hard-cooked eggs and skinned boned sardines. Season with salt, mustard and any other seasoning liked, adding a bit of lemon juice. Spread on fresh crackers and serve at once sandwich fashion. Russian Egg Sandwiches.—Take four hard-cooked eggs, chopped and mixed with one-fourth of a cupful of thick mayonnaise, one tablespoonful of chili sauce, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt and a little onion juice. Mix well and spread on buttered bread. Bacon and Cheese Sandwiches.—Spread buttered slices of bread with grated cheese, add a layer of fried bacon, which has been cut very thin, cover with a leaf of lettuce and another buttered slice of bread and serve at once. Potato Salad.—Cut up a pint of cold boiled potatoes into small dice, add one small onion, finely minced, a diced cucumber and a handful of blanched and shredded almonds. Mix with a highly seasoned mayonnaise, adding more seasoning, as the potato takes a good deal to make it palatable. Put into a carton or jar, after mixing well. When serving add a cupful of whipped, slightly sour, cream. Smothered Chicken.—Cut up a chicken as for frying, roll in seasoned flour, brown in hot chicken fat, add a tablespoonful of hot water, cover closely and cook until tender, adding more water by tablespoonfuls as needed to keep from burning. Chicken cooked in this way is of much finer flavor than the ordinary open frying method. A delicious dessert, which is easy to prepare, is cup cakes, whose centers have been removed and the cavity filled with whipped cream. Crushed berries with the cream makes a change and is even more delicious.

FOR MIDSUMMER COSTUME; INFORMAL DAYTIME WEAR UP AND down, around and around, this way and that, in riotous color, thus do stripes play a spectacular part in the modes of the day. Some of the wash silks and fine dress flannels look as if the striped tents of Arabia or the Bedouin headscarfs of their native chiefs must have been the source of inspiration so exotic are their fascinating colors. Not less handsome are the Roman stripes which so gaily fly the Italian colors in our 10 Winged Haircut E. Lederer STRIPES PLAY IMPORTANT PART most fashionable scarfs $ _{s} $ ribbons and silken fabrics. Even our own humble sawnings bear the proud distinction of having their stripes copied by Madame Fashion. All of which goes to prove the popularity of stripes this season. The effectiveness of striped materials for midsummer frocks is set forth in the two smart summer models in the picture. Crepe de chine in varying stripes of blue, green and American Beauty is the chosen fabric for the gown on the seated figure. The clever sports costume by its side is made of a camel's hair material striped in green, tan and blue. Washable silks of shirting variety, especially accenting stripes, are greatly favored for blouses as well as onepiece frocks which in their making are simplicity itself. Many of these exploit lovely soft color combinations. There may be a stripe of bright color, narrower than the usual blazer, subdued by hairlines of some contrasting shade with perhaps black used between the gay colors. Pastel striped tub silks define such exquisite combinations as pale green with white, the green stripes of graduated width; corn color on white, gray with white and in the striped materials black-and-white is especially good. For informal dress models of striped silk are enhanced with lace and THE HALL verte cuffs and collars with often lingerie cuffs and collars with often cunning lace pockets. A patent leather belt, white or black, is worn with the frock of this description. In making up the two-piece dress consisting of skirt and overblouse, it adds to the attractiveness to use the stripes horizontally in the blouse and vertically in the skirt. Apropos of the fashion for stripes are sleeveless jacquettes made of bright striped fine fannel. The blazer stripes are particularly recommended for these. Bold red, blue, green and yellow on white feature in blazer-striped sportswear. For every day and any day the silken frock remains the mode supreme. It has ever been thus. The soft rustle of silk has come down to us through the ages in poetry and prose which hailed the days of "lavender --- and old lace" with tales of gentle women resplendent in grosgrain which "stands alone" or sweetly feminine in demure gray "surah." In this age and generation it is canton crepe, flat crepe, taffeta, crepsatin, faille, bengaline and hosts of novelty silk weaves which are making dress history which shall be read by posterity. Years and years ago when "grandamma was young" her "Sunday MARIE B. BURTON best" was trimmed in tucks and puffs, ruffling and shirring of the very same silk as the dress itself. In the fashions of today history repeats itself in terms of "self-trim." The smart present-day note in dress design is featured through intriguing plaiting, shirring, folding, cording, piping, and smocking. We modernists differ from our revered ancestors in that we do not hold our silken frocks for "state occasions." We wear silk any day and every day, finding it the practical thing to do. Of course for informal daytime wear, we choose a conservative style, of which the model in the picture is a representative type. This pretty afternoon frock has its decorative scheme of flutings about skirt and sleeves, with sarrings at the waist worked out in material self-same as that of the dress itself. In the fullness of its skirt it emphasizes the fact that the bourfant silhouette is quite as fashionable as the straightline effects. Speaking of the types of silk in fashion, the forecast for fall places special importance on bengaline and ribbed silks in general. These silks will be used not only for dresses but for coats especially. Tucks, ranging from wide to pin, feature many of the frocks made of the smooth surfaced silks such as taffeta and flat crepe. Pin tucks are THE FASHION OF THE 1920S SILK IS MODE SUPREME Inset in panels and various motifs. A favorite employment of wider tucks is that of running them horizontally from neckline to hem of the fashionable tube silhouette dress. These straightline all-over tucked frocks fasten down one side of the front with a row of buttons supplemented with a plaited frill or cascade of lace traversing the opening from top to bottom.
