King, President of Liberia, West Africa, to the 35th Legislature has just arrived in printed form in this country and is being distributed through Liberian Consul General, Dr. Ernest Lyon.

A centralized federal prison is urged for the Republic. Increase of customs at all ports is noted by the President, who declared that 864 ships with a total tonnage of 2,000,000 entered ports of the Republic last year.

White Taxi Driver Finally Arrested for Assault Upon Colored Girl New York, August 1.—Roy Sullivan, white taxicab driver of Baxter Springs, Kansas, charged with assaulting a colored girl, for whose arrest the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been contending since the assault took place, on March 21, has at last been arrested and his preliminary trial is to be held on August 8. Local authorities failed to take action against Sullivan, and the N. A. A. C. P. thereupon appealed to Attorney General Griffith, a vigorous campaign being carried on in the case by the Wichita Protest, a local colored newspaper. Attorney General Griffith promised the N. A. A. C. P. to take such action as he could in the case, and the Baxter Springs Citizen reports that he finally instructed the County Attorney to prosecute, in a letter of July 9, as follows: Mr. R. E. Rosenstein, County Attorney, Cherokee County Columbus, Kansas. Dear Sir: I must insist on your prosecuting Roy Sullivan for committing rape on _____. Let me hear from you by return mail as to what you are going to do. Very respectfully yours, Attorney General. In the meantime, it is charged, Sullivan attacked a white girl. MR. COOLIDGE CABLES KING U.S.GREETINGS MR. COOLIDGE CABLES KING U.S.GREETINGS Washington, D. C., July 26.—The President has sent out the following message to the President of Liberia in connection with the anniversary of the founding of the Liberian Republic and Independence Day celebration. "His Excellency, Charles Dunbar Burgest King, President of Liberia, Monrovia: "On this recurring anniversary of the founding of the Liberian Republic, I extend to you Mr. President, and to the Liberian people, the cordial felicitation of the Government and the people of the United States and their best wishes for you and your country-men's prosperity and happiness, with the renewed assurances of deep interest in the welfare and progress of your country." (Signed) CALVIN COOLIDGE." N. A. A. C. P. Raises Fund to Prevent Execution of 13-Year Old Boy N. A. A. C. P. Raises Fund to Prevent Execution of 13-Year Old Boy National Office Sends $100 to Help Toward Oklahoma's $1,000 In the legal fight to prevent the execution in Oklahoma of Elias Ridge, a 13-year old colored boy accused of killing the wife of a white farmer, the National Office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is sending $100 toward a fund of $1,000 being raised by the Oklahoma City Branch. A number of appeals have been taken in the case and the boy's attorney, Mr. W. H. Twine, plans to take the case to the Supreme Court, on a question of Constitutional law. A. Baxter Whitby, President of the Oklahoma City Branch, N. A. A. C. P., writes: "We have raised about $800 in all through the Black Dispatch and our personal efforts and it is our aim to give him (Twine) a thousand dollars, if we can, for the man deserves all that we can do for him. The casa is to go before the Supreme Court soon and then more briefs and preparation, and he alone is doing the work. . . . He secures the aid of white lawyers in the brief writing and other inside work, and must of course, pay them something." The woman who paid her membership fee in the local N. A. A. C. P., after witnessing the outrageous treatment of Misses Anthony and Taylor sets an example for every Negro who is not a member of that organization. This woman has at last got the kind of religion that millions of us sorely need. The scales have fallen from her eyes. She has been ushered by a most fortunate change brought about by a most unfortunate case—she has been ushered thereby out of darkness into light. She sees the truth. Our salvation lies in organized presentation of our case, in organized contest with injustice, in organized defense. This organized action must be intelligent, persistent, courageous, unselfish; it must have available the completeest facts and be directed by the wisest counsel. This is just the way the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is working at our tremendous problem. Every defunct local N. A. A. C. P. should be revived; every active local organization should increase its membership and activity; and in every place where there is no such organization one should be established. The hour for action has struck. The Duty of Salvation faces 15,000,000 Negroes in America. World's Richest Col'd Woman in Washington, D. C. Mrs, Ida Pillsbury Owner of "Pillsbury's Best" Flouring Mills Guest in Whitelaw Hotel. Columbus, Ga., July 31.—In the $25,000 damage suit brought against the General of Georgia and the Columbus Electric Company by James Wheat, who claims this sum for injuries growing out of an accident, a jury has just returned a verdict for $6,250 in favor of Wheat. Washington, Aug. 1.—It has been rumored that the most distinguished lady of the Negro race was stopping at the Whitelaw Hotel and visiting the city with a view of stimulating Negro enterprises. In many circles it is hoped she will put Negro movies on the map and end a long felt want in this country. It is not generally known that Mrs. Ida Pillsbury is the richest colored woman in the world. Nobody can be found to run her a close second for the honor. Very conservative and retiring, she has a very unique way of keeping out of the public eye. Whenever you see "Pillsbury's Best" you may realize that Mrs. Pillsbury owns the largest flouring mills in the world, has an elegant mansion on Loray Hill in Minneapolis, and is something of a recluse. Her wealth is estimated around $5,000,000. National Negro Business Men's League Will Celebrate It's Twentyfifth Anniversary National Negro Business Men's League Will Celebrate It's Twentyfifth Anniversary Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Aug. S, 1924.—"Negro progress during the past twenty-five years has been a most remarkable example of American ingenuity and a demonstration of American opportunity," says Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, and President of the National Negro Business League, in announcing the twenty-fifth anniversary of the League, an organization founded by the late Booker T. Washington. "In 1900 when the League was organized there were 20,000 business enterprises conducted by Negroes; now there are 65,000," says the Tuskegee principal. "Negro success in business may be most accurately measured by the operation of banks which requires the highest standards of judgment, analysis and integrity. There were two Negro banks in the country when the League was founded, while in 1924 there are seventy-four." The National Negro Business League will celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary in Chicago, August 20, 21 and 22, at which time a new economic program for the Negro will be undertaken through the work of the League. "We shall," says Dr. Moton, "present a program of business development based upon twenty-five years of the League's work in stimulating and encouraging the commercial advancement of the race. "First, the League is going to 'sell' the Negro business man to America; second, through a million-dollar corporation recently organized, the National Negro Finance Corporation, the League will undertake to secure standing for the securities of the reputable Negro enterprises. Third, the League will assemble and make available for its members expert and specialized information on business problems. Fourth, field workers will carry the message of co-operation and efficiency to the various communities where Negro business men and women are organized. NO. 43. Madam C. J.

Walker Manufacturing Company's grant trip to the Holy Land contest closed at midnight, July 1. A great last minute rush of coupons into the Walker Company's offices literally swamped the tabulators and after weeks of close, accurate counting, checking, comparison and verifications, the winners have been determined. It was a great race, full of excitement from the beginning, when 358 ministers took off in friendly competition, to the very closing day when some contestants made personal visits to the contest department and cast votes which they hoped would send them over the line a winner. Of course, all could not win the cherished trips, but two A. M. E. ministers, a Baptist and a Church of God evangelist polled the highest number of votes and will make trips abroad at the expense of the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company.

Key, pastor Turner A. M. E. church 1715 North Jersey avenue, N. W., Washington, D. C. SECOND PRIZE—Free trip to Palestine and $100 in cash. Won by Elder K. H.

From 1910 to 1922, Townsend served Michigan in the Senate, being defeated in 1922 by Senator Ferris, apparently because of his defense of Senator Newberry in the Senate and on the stump.

After a thrilling 300-mile chase, Wayman Welk, 19 years old, of Pueblo, held up the parents of his sweetheart, Gladys Swearinger, in a lonely canon on the Blue river, near here, and carried off the girl at the point of a gun, according to Sheriff Samuel Phillips of Montrose, who arrested Welk and his companion, Raymond Watkins, 17, and the girl a few hours after they had escaped from the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Swearinger, also of Pueblo. Estes Park.—Miss Mary Hannon, a school teacher of Chicago, was killed and eight other persons were injured, one of them probably fatally, when a sightseeing car in which they were riding, owned and driven by James Robertson of Estes Park, plunged over a fifty-foot cliff on Horsetooth hill, five miles southwest of Fort Collins. The accident occurred when the brakes of the car failed to hold on a down grade. Paonia.—Sulicide, due to temporary derangement, was given in a coroner's verdict as the cause of the death of Miss Elizabeth Foote, 20 years old, prominent Paonia society girl, whose body was found in Fire Mountain irrigation canal near Hotchkiss, Colo. Her body, clad in an undergarment, was found in the canal in three feet of water, George Foote, the girl's father, is a prominent ranch owner near Paonia. Fort Morgan.—Clarence Tidball, 8 years old, was seriously injured when he was struck by an automobile driven by Mrs. C. W. Frischie of 47 West Alameda avenue, Denver, in a Fort Morgan street. The boy, according to witnesses, ran into the street and into the path of the machine. Mrs. Frischie is said to have attempted to dodge the boy, but succeeded only in turning her car so that it did not run over him. Canon City.—Charles A. Ralsh, a student at the Colorado Agricultural College, was arrested at the gates of the Colorado state penitentiary and lodged in the Fremont county jail, charged with attempting to smuggle weapons into the prison with which his brother, Thomas W. Ralsh, convicted murderer and train robber, intended to shoot his way to freedom. Leadville.—Charged with being responsible for the theft of a large amount of scrap brass, copper and cable from the A. V. Smelter where he was employed, Mike Sabol is in the county jail on the charge of grand harceny. He is believed to have been the cause of a long series of robberies which have mystefied the officials of the A. V. smelter. Canon City.—Caught in the raplldly-moving machinery of a stone crusher, M. S. Rutledge of Portland, Ore., an inspector in the employ of the Warren Bros. Company here, received fatal injuries from which he died a few minutes later after being rushed to the hospital. Rutledge came to Canon City about two weeks ago with his wife, to take charge of concrete inspection work for Warren Bros. Company, which has contracted for considerable paving work in Canon City. The accident occurred on South First street when Rutledge climbed to the top of the stone crusher. His clothing caught in the machinery and he was whirled round and round. His head and body were crushed. A workman stopped the machine immediately, but Rutledge lived but a few minutes after reaching the hospital. Montrose.—Albert Murphy, alias R. D. McKenzie, is wanted in Oklahoma, where he was serving a life term for murder of Charles Reuter in Tulsa in 1912. Murphy was shot in the neck and shoulder by a sheriff's posse as he attempted to escape after arrest in a raid on a still in an isolated canon near here. La Junta.—Floyd Jones, a well known farmer of Otero county, was killed when a Santa Fe train truck his automobile at the crossing at Newdale, six miles from La Junta.

Mail” ASHINGTON.—Possibillty of retiring the entire war debt in about thirty years is seen in the new Snancing plans of the treasiry. Even if Ituy and France pay nothing on their debts this Program may be carried out, treasury officials assert. Contingencies upon which fulfillment of the program rests are avoidance of further wars, the piling up of new debts, and also on the willingness of congress not to interfere with the use of considerably more than the amount prescribed by law for sinking fund purposes toward the retirement of the debt each year. When the war debt was at Its peak on August 31, 1919, It amounted to $26,- 596,701,648. It was cut down to $23,- 976,000,000 by June 30, 1921. The bud- get law became effective June 10, 1921. Provisions of existing Inw relative to sinking fund and other debt retire- ments would haye made It possible to proceed on an annual debt reduction of @ little more than $300,000,000, which would have meant that from 70 to 75 years would have been required to liquidate the debt. ‘The entire public debt during 1922 was decreased by more than’ $1,000, 000,000, On June 80, 1922, it stood at $22,964,000,000. HE State department has re- | fused to Join in the administra- tion of the Tangier Zone fis con- templated in the convention signed last year between France, Eng- land und Spain, and the department has expressed to these governments the willingness of this country to cede its extra-territorial rights there {f American interests are adequately guaranteed, Emphasizing the destre of the United States not only to co-operate but to avold the placing of any obstacle In the way of an equitable settlement of the Tangier problem, the note nevertheless made It clear that the meaning of cer- tain provisions in the agreement must be made specific before this govern- ment would give even tacit approval to them. Maintenance of the open door, as- surance of equality of economle oppor- tunity, Judicial guarantees, and ac ceptance by the administration of re- sponsibilities for acts of the zone au- thorities In connection with internal claims were some of the points stressed by the State department as requiring HE forest service of the Depart- ment of Agriculture has just been allotted nearly $1,600,000 for the construction of high- ways within or adjacent to,the national forests of seven states in the far west: Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Col- orado, Utah, Nevada, and New Mexico. ‘The largest state appropriation for this work is $413,000 for Idaho, Mon- tana comes second with an allowance of $375,000. Arizona recelves $293,000 and Colorado $247,000. In Idaho, six miles in the Lolo Pass section of the Selway forest will be built at a cost of $100,000, For im- proving nearly seven miles of highway along the Northern Pacific road in the Coeur d'Alene forest $45,000 has been allotted. In Utah, where $95,948 will be spent, the chief project Involves 28 miles in the Dixie National forest between Cedar City and Duck Lake, in Iron county, and seyeral miles in Kane county. Nearly 11 miles will be built in the Fillmore forest, and a bridge will be constructed over the Provo river in the Uinta and Wasatch forests. More than $44,000 will be spent in Nevada, one project amounting to $30,- 000 for four miles along the Austin- West road in the Toiyabe National forest. This project links up with. the T'S dangerous to monkey with the I Cnlted States, mail This Is the conclusion to be drawn from figures compiled by Rush D. Simmons, chief post office Inspector, following the recent hold- up of a train near Chicago and the disappearance of nearly $1,500,000 In money and securities entrusted to the care of the United States mail, Within a week after the robbery, post office inspectors had seized some of the members of the gang wnd, It is expected, the entire ring will be cap- tured and a large part, if not all, of the money recovered. "There were sixteen big holdups in 1921, elghteen in 1922 and only six In 1923. In the sixteen cases In 1921 seventy-three arrests were made and about $3,500,000 of the $6,000,000 taken was recovered. In only two of the holdups was there neither arrest flor recovery. ‘This does not mean, however, that the robbers In those Instances will escape punishment, because the post office Inspector never lets up and no mail robbery cise 1s ever closed until ft 1s closed by the apprehension of those who staged the robbery. Im 1921 figures disclosed that in In the fiscal yeiir 1928 it was not so easy to cut expenditures further und revenues declined, so that the debt reduction that year amounted to $600,- 000,000, bringing the total down to $22,- 849,000,000 on June 30, 1923. In the uuseal year 1924, however, It was again reduced by more. than $1,000,000,000. ‘The total debt reduction in the three years of budget coutrol has amounted to $2,722,000,000, which means a say- ing in interest of more than $120,000,- 000 annually. For the fiscal year 1925 It is estl- mated that the sinking fund will amount to $310,000,000 and that there will be received from foreign govern- ments under debt settlements $160,- 277,975. It 1s estimated that estate taxes will bring in $6,000,000 and the frunchise tax from federal reserve banks, $6,000,000. ‘The total 1s $482,- 277,975, which, plus whatever surplus there {s, will be the amount of debt re- duction in the fiscal year of 1925. In order to pay off the debt In 35 years from the passage of the sinking fund law, or 30 yeurs from the present time, there must be added to the sink- ing fund various other items, including principal and interest from the British government and also whatever surplus can be accumuluted each year over and above ordinary expenditures. more definite phrasing to insure clarity Officials declared this policy was th same which has governed the attitude of the United States since American interests were first identified with the zone. Adherence to an agreement af. feeting Morocco would be no new de- parture, they pointed out, since the United States was a signatory to the treaty promulgated by the Algeciras conference in 1906, ‘This agréement gave the United States and other coun tries the special rights now proposed to be abrogated. In signing the treaty Ambassador White attached a reservation declaring the United States had no political am: bition In the zone and sought only pro: tection for its citizens and equal trade opportunities. The senate, before rat ifying it, added another reservation asserting the United States assumed “no obligation for administration” o! the zone and that adherence to the treaty should not be taken as indt cating the slightest intention to depart from the “traditional policy” of non interference in European _ political problems. construction of six miles of the road authorized a year ago, and $8,000 will be used in surveying 12 miles along the Ely-Tonopah highway. In Colorado $575,000 has been allotted for widening the Durango-Silverton highway within the San Juan National forest. It is part of the state highway system. ‘The Improvements will be made in the Molas lake, Lime creek and Cascade sections. The most ex- pensive road work on the Independence Pass highway wil) be undertaken by the construction of about two miles of rond beginning at the east end of the Weller grade section, In which $50,000 has been allotted and an additional $8,000 is expected from state funds. In Montara about 6 miles of road will be constructed or Improved, most of which Is important from the tourist and scenic standpoint. One project 1s the building of 18 miles of the ‘Tarklo Vint section of the Yellowstone ‘Trail, adjacent to the Lolo National forest, to cost $60,000, ‘The largest project in Arizona will be the construction of 23 miles be- tween Flagstaff and the east boundary of the Coconinoe National forest, for which $109,381 has been set aside, The road forms an important link in the state highway system. only one of eight major robberies has the bandit escaped. In 1922 there were eighteen major holdups, In two of which there has yet been neither arrests nor recoveries. This Is a per- centage of 11 for the mail bandit and 89 for the post office inspector. In 1923, with six holdups, there were twenty-three arrests, und but one ease in which neither arrests nor re- coverles were imuade, or 17 per cent The statistics show that but 12% per cent of the cases handled by post office Inspectors during thé three years mentioned resulted In no arrests: ‘The total losses resulting from the holdup of small trains and other pos- tal agencies from 1921 to 1923 Inclu- sive, amounted to $11,217,209, while the recoveries for the same period were $7,200,192, leaving an actual loss for the three years mentioned of but $4,017,017. But the amount of money and se- curitles lost in the transmission of the mails through the depredations of bandits is infinitesimal compared to the millions and millions of dollars worth of securitles entrusted to the care of the government in registered packages, which are delivered safely. PILOTS AND REAR ADMIRAL MA- GRUDER CONFER ON ICE | REPORTS 1,000 MILE HOP VETOED —— WEATHER FORCES WAIT OF SEV- | ERAL DAYS AT THE ICE- LAND CAPITAL Reykjavik.—A conference was held receently by Rear Admiral Magruder on board the United States scruiser Richmond with Lieuts. Lowell H. Smith and Erik Nelson, the United States army aviators who have reached Reyk- Javik, Iceland, on their rounal the world flignt, with regard to pressing on to- ward their next stop In Greenland. It was decided at the conference that the aviators should remain here pending the receipt of reports from Angmag- salik regarding ice conditions off the Greenland coast, which are said to be bad. ‘The two American cruisers and two torpedo boat destroyers in the harbor are attragting much attention. They are the first American warships that haye ever anchored at Reykjavik. Siggurdur Exgerz, head of the min- istry of Iceland, paid a formal vistt to thé Richmond und inyited the officers of the cruiser, together with the flyers, to visit the old site of the Iceland par- ament. Washington.—Decision to hold the American world flyers at Reykjavile until weather and’ ice conditions. as- sure reasonably safe landing on the Greenland coast was announced by the urmy air service. The proposal that a 1,000-2ile hop from Iceland to Tvigtut be attempted, if efforts failed to establish a base at Angmagsalik was rejected after careful consideration, as subjecting the remaining two ships to the posst- ‘bility of almost certain injury. “Should temporary weather and ice conditions on the Greenland coast pre- clude immediate landing of the expe- ‘dition there,” a statement from the de- ‘partment said, “the flight will remain at Iceland until conditions improve. It Is not contemplated that an at tempt will be made for a non-stop flight from Iceland direct to the coast of Labrador.” A wait of several days at the Tee- land capital was admitted by officials us adding to the danger of even more adverse weather conditions ensuing because of the advanced season but hope was expressed for an “open spell” which would be the signal for the next ndvance toward the goal of aerial navigation of the globe. ‘The Ice pack reported to have formed around the Grenland coast Is not considered in itself an impossible barrier to the continuance of the flight, army experts said, because It had been proved entirely feasible for the planes to land beside yessels at sea and refuel. While the ice itself fs not a barrier, should a forced land- Ing be necessary, rescue of the flyers would be difficult, “It may be recalled,” a statement Issued recently said, “that exaetly thirty-four years ago this month, Nan- sen’s exploration party was attempt- ‘ing to pierce the interior of Greenland ‘from the west coast near the place the American aviators Intend to land. ‘The explocer's party heeame marooned on a large ice floe which floated down the coast for several days before rescue.” Chiarl Elected Panama President Panama—Rodolfo Chiari, popular Liberal candidate, was successful in the recent election, the returns giving him @ large majority for president of the Panaman republic over General Quintero, hero of the Panama-Vosta Rican war. Chiari supporters also carried a majority of the seats in the National Congress, securing thirty-six of the forty-six places, The new Con- gress will convene “Sept. 1 to prepare for the Inuuguratton, $1,000,000 Bail Bond Set Detroit—Bail of $1,000,000, said to be the highest bond ever fixed in Mieh- igan, if not in the United States, was set by Justice Pred L, Keller for Mo- hammed Karoub, leader of a Moham- medan faction, who was remanded for trial by the Circuit Court on a charge of murdering Hussein Abbas, Highland Park grocer and leader of an opposing faction, after testimony which featured Karoub as the prime mover in te slaying. ; Pyroto!l to Be Giftto Farmers Washington,—Explosives enough to fill a freight train forty miles long are to be given away by the government to farmers for clearing land, and to the state governments for highway con- struction, Announcement was made that 100,000,000 pounds of pyrotol, part of the vast supplies of explosives gath- ered by the government for the World war, soon would be made available through state agencies and through the bureau of public lands.

The three kinds of food in which we are particularly prone to overindulge are sugar and starches, which are very much the same, and fats, The consumption of candy, lee creams and soft drinks, all containing large quantities of sugar, has enor- mously Increased in this country In the last 25 years, The general use of white breads, breakfast foods and oth- er cereals has also Increased. Our forefatners, who were raised on a diet of cornmeal, whole wheat bread made of home-ground flour, bacon, ham, fresh meats, eggs and fresh vege- tables, did not have an opportunity of eating the quantities of sugar and starches that we have on every hand today. Now, sugar and breakfast foods are g00d foods. The trouble ig that we have retained our forefathers’ diet and haye added onr present-day Improvements, instead of using the present forms of confec- tions and cereals as substitutes for some of the older forms of diet. The result Is that we are eating a double allowance and are suffering therefor. Fat Is the strplus food which the body does not use and which has to be carried around as extra weight. During the years of growth the body needs plenty of food for proper nutri- tion and body buflding, but after growth and development are completed only enough food is required to replace the natural loss and to keep the body, func- tioning properly. Every extra pound fs a handicap, Stand on the corner of any crowded city street and watch the people go by.

Neither does it matter whether you observe people in the tenement-house district or on the bou- levards. ‘The great majority of Americans are overweight. We are eating too much because we have it to eat and we haven't learned yet to eat what Is good for us rather than to eat all we can get.

The ballot box is on cum where all may have a vote in any measure a representative. MAN loves to know of his power but most invariably rebels with ill being grace when reminded of his duty. Yet it is in no sense possible to disassociate the consequences of power from the responsibilities of duty, as the very acquiring of the one presupposes the conscientious performance of the other. However, a pointed lesson in the voluntary, if not abject surrender, if power is being brought to the doors of the American people these days by statisticians who have carefully observed that nearly fifty per cent of the voters of the country stay away from the polls on election day, thus menacing, in the opinion of many, our whole scheme of orderly government. If this be true, and the figures appear incontrovertible, then nearly half of America's citizens of voting age have truly proven themselves to be merely children grown up. The right of franchise is a serious thing in the pursuit, but once acquired it becomes a mere toy, a plaything to be cast aside, without any thought of its further use. Let us go back a few years and only a few, when militant women suffragists were picketing the White House, threatening great political parties with visitations of dire vengeance if their dictums were not heeded, clamoring loud and strongly through press and from platform for the right of franchise, and having gained it after years of hard struggle, fail in large part to exercise the privilege so dearly purchased. A stranger case in point and one disgustingly inexplainable is to be found in the relative attitude of the Negro citizen on this same question. Here we have a people almost entirely disfranchised in the Southland, rendered politically impotent and bereft of all power at the ballot box, entering into a voluntary surrender of the same power when reaching Northern communities. And it would be difficult to determine the greater degree of responsibility; the Negro who will not vote, or the white man who would deny him the right to vote. We contend that no citizen can afford to maintain an apathetic attitude toward that which so vitally concerns him as the exercise of the election franchise. Many affairs of life are trivial and negligible, but not that of voting, for not to vote when one is able to do so is a serious sin of omission. It means that we relegate to others the responsibility of selecting candidates, of electing men to office and of making our laws. If unworthy, unscrupulous men are elected to office, or vicious, throttling laws are put over on us we should offer, no complaint for we have invited the result by our pitiful inaction. It is difficult to understand the growing indifference to the ballot box; surely something is amiss in our civic conscience. The fault is not to be found in any one race or group but among all people and classes. Such a voluntary surrender of power is a voluntary plunge into political bondage from which we may find it difficult to extricate ourselves when the anxious hour of danger really dawns upon us. We would not be pessimistic in our considerations beyond the point of despair and claim to behold in the present situation the twilight doom of America. Far from it, for we believe the zero hour has been struck and that the present political apathy will soon give way to a clearer conception of the uses of power. In the history of nations are to be observed the mighty struggles, the strange lapses of power and the quiet reversions that are seen in the story of mature human life. There are times when it becomes necessary to urge the people on to take new heart to become more of a factor in the affairs of government. That time in our judgment is now here, and without espousing the cause of any party or candidate, we hope that American citizens from every walk in life will arise in the fullness of their majesty and power in the forthcoming general elections. The ballot box is our medium of expression, the one great forum where all may have a voice or at least should, if this country is to be in any measure a representative democracy. PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Last Sunday was a memorable day in every respect in the history of the church. The main auditorium having been closed for a month for renovation and artistic decoration was, reopened for regular worship. Both morning and afternoon special services marked the auspicious occasion. Rev. Dr. H. I. Kerr, executive secretary of the Board of Church Extension of the Presbyterian church, delivered a strong, thoughtful and inspirational sermon and in the afternoon Rev. Dr. Johnson, pastor of Scott M. E. church, delivered a 15-minute address which sparkled throut with the power, grandeur and nobility of practical Christianity. The messages were heartily received and highly endorsed for their eloquent and spiritual expression. Rev. Dr. Uggams, our pastor, is highly commended for his selection of such worthy and eminent expounders of the Christian doctrines. --- --- but most invariably rebels with ill be- of his duty.

Ne disgustingly inexplainable is to be Negro citizen on this same question. Surely disfranchised in the Southland, bereft of all power at the ballot box, or of the same power when reaching and difficult to determine the greater who will not vote, or the white man vote.

Next to the splendid messages was the ministry of delightful, elevating and heart-throbbing music, so capably rendered by the well balanced choir, under the skillful direction of Prof. Hewetson Watson. The spirit of devoted worship so richly manifested in song, was a fine accompaniment to the spoken word. Prof. Valaurez B. Spratlin, A.M., presided at the organ with his usual fine ability and incomparable dignity. The painters and decorators spared no pains in making their work stand out in bold relief of grace, beauty and symmetry. They have made everything within clean, pleasing to the eye and inspiring to the soul who finds an amiableness in the Lord's tabernacles. The pastor and his loyal supporters are deserving of much praise and commendation for their progressive activities. Our many friends are sincerely thanked for their hearty cooperation and cordially invited to worship with us at any time in our pretty and attractive church. The Cattle King Who Years Ago Started North Up the Chisholm Trail— REPUBLIC AGAIN IN CIVIL WAR By PHILIP ASHTON ROLLINS, in Nature Magazine. SO COMPLETE has been the change that the United States government, in its printed census reports for the year 1920, has wholly omitted the words "ranch" and "ranchmen" and has spoken everywhere only of farmers and of farms. The cattle king who years ago started northward, up the Chisholm trail, herds each of three thousand animals, and who was acclaimed throughout the West as a prince despite America's democracy, where is he? Passed, with pitifully few exceptions, into history. Where are the cowboys who once dominated the West? They, too, have ridden into history, save that there still remain, in little corners of the West, scant tracts as yet uncorsed by the farmers' fences. From these tracts there periodically ride forth, in jaunty picturesqueness, cowboys who are replicas of the early pioneers, and in many cases their blood descendants ride forth, not to guide herds from the Rio Grande to the Canadian border but merely to take an honest part in current Wild West shows. LIBERAL PARTY BLAMED FOR OUTBREAK AND ALL LEAD-ERS ARE ARRESTED CONFERENCE IS HELD CONFERENCE IS HELD PLANS FOR RESTORING CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT MAPPED OUT Washington.—The Honduran republic is again involved in civil war, despite efforts of the United States and the other four Central American countries to restore order and pave the way for a more stable government in the distressed country. In place of the great live stock ownerships common in a generation now bygone, the average modern farmer owns, if in Texas, but 14 1-10 cattle; if in Montana, but 22 such animals; and, if in Wyoming, but 55 6-10 of them. And do you ask 55 6-10 of what? Of cattle, which the present writer, years since, saw, in terms of thousands, winding their way in serpentine course along fenceless, endless miles, and straining the irie of leather-clad men who were sitting astride of impish bronchos. A dispatch from Minister Franklin E. Morales at Tegucigalpa said that General Ferrera, minister of war under the provisional government, left the capital on the morning of Aug. 6 with 500 fully armed men, each soldier carrying three extra rifles. The force was bound, presumably, for Comayagua, the message said, adding: But the modern farmer, despite the accusation of commonplaceness has, since he assumed virtually exclusive management of livestock raising, both increased the aggregate number of America's cattle and also bettered their quality. The nation's cattle, notwithstanding occasional setbacks caused by war, drought, or economic conditions, have more or less steadily shown increment in number. The aggregate number of the nation's beasts in 1924 is one and one-quarter times what it was in the year 1890, one and two-thirds times what it was in the year 1880, and two and two-thirds times what it was in the years 1870 and 1860. "The country is again at civil war and termination of hostilities cannot be expected for some time." The dispatch indicated that the Liberal party in Honduras was held responsible for the new outbreak, as it asserted that the provisional authorities had arrested "all the principal leaders of the Liberal party." There Devolves Upon All Citizens a New and Solemn Responsibility What action, if any, the Washington government contemplates taking has not be disclosed. There are three American light cruisers either in Canal zone or Mexican waters, however, and it would be possible to dispatch one or more of these to Honduran ports with little delay if protection of American lives and property required such a step. By JULIUS H. BARNES, in "Genius of American Business." An industrial ideal that the gifts of nature should be converted to human use as rapidly as possible, not by drudgery of bent backs, out by the mastery of mind over the forces of nature and the service of invention, thus enlarging the product of every pair of worker's hands. A social ideal that would close no gate because of accident of birth or station, but would maintain the open road for character, ability and energy to attain recognized leadership. There was no indication either at the state or navy departments that orders had been issued as yet for a warship to proceed to Honduras. Probably fuller reports from Minister Morales are awaited before action is decided upon. A political ideal that national progress and accomplishment are the aggregate of individual effort, and that the prime function of government is to maintain fair play and equal opportunity for each individual to work out his own place and accomplishment in a fair field. Renewal of the revolutionary movement in Honduras, even before the provisional government set up after the conference of Amapala in which representatives of Nicaragua, Salvador, Costa Rica and Guatemala, as well as of the United States, participated, has had an opportunity to hold a presidential election, creates a grave situation, as there are important American as well as other foreign commercial interests again placed in jeopardy. All of the leaders of the various political factions in Honduras either participated in the conference or were represented there and subscribed to the plans for restoring constitutional government which was then mapped out. If the ultimate goal of America's material progress is invested with the idealism which robs it of any sordid and selfish aspect; if it is attainable, largely, because the political philosophy incorporated in our Constitution is itself the guarantor of accomplishment, then there devolves upon all citizens a new and solemn responsibility. There must be preserved in America the conditions under which this splendid material progress has been created. The First John Jacob Astor, Born in Germany, Came to New York in 1783 By MRS. JOHN KING VAN RENSSELAER, in "The Social Ladder." There are some names that appear in the society sections of the press chiefly through the persistent publicity methods of the "society leaders' themselves. There are many others who are cited frequently in print whether they wish it or not, because of their wealth, their achievements, or their connection with the economic, financial, or political life of the city. Readers come to regard those persons most frequently featured by the press as belonging to "old Knickerbocker families." In nine cases out of ten their judgment is wrong. An earlier outbreak of a revolutionary nature occurred a few days ago in the vicinity of the Nicaraguan border. Reports from Nicaragua that two Americans had been killed in the fighting in that section of the country are not confirmed by official advises that have thus far reached the Washington government. Prominent today in published accounts of New York social events are the Vanderbilts, the Astors, the Morgans, the Davidsons, the Bellmonts, the Lamonts, the Vanderlips, the Villards, the Goulds. Only one of these families has enjoyed social recognition in New York as far back as Civil war times. This was the Astors. Not a single one of the names cited above runs back in the annals of society to the Revolutionary era. The first John Jacob Astor, born in Walldorf, Germany, came to New York in 1783 as a piano merchant. Tornado Sweeps Wisconsin Eau Claire—Five persons are known to be dead, at least a dozen injured and scores of homes and farm buildings were wrecked in two tornadoes in west central Wisconsin a few days ago. The first of the two tornadoes appeared near Osseo, from where it cut a path two miles long in the direction of Black River Falls. "Palestine, Once the Promised Land, Today Is the Land of Promise" Fifty Killed in Flood Foochow,—Foochow and all the lower reach of the Ming river in Fukien has just experienced the second worst flood ever recorded. Rains covering a period of nearly two weeks culminated in a five-inch rainfall on the night of June 22. Almost immediately the river burst its banks and for two days continued at a serious stage. Along the river front business houses were flooded to a depth of from six to twelve feet. By DR, JOSEPH SILVERMAN, American Reform Rabbi. Any Jew today who willfully hinders the Zionist movement is a traitor to his people and his faith. Any Jew who remains aloof from the movement at this critical period in our history is committing nothing less than a crime against his people. For many years I have been a reform rabbi. I have stood aloof from Zionism, but now, after this visit to Palestine I realize that if Judaism is to survive as a world force a Jewish homeland must be built up which will be the spiritual center of the Jewish people. Bandits Loot Minnesota Bank Palestine was once the promised land, flowing with milk and honey. It is today the land of promise, already rich enough in achievements, due to the persistent endeavors of the Palestine foundation fund and other laudable organizations, to justify the most radiant hopes of the lovers of Zion and the sure expectations of Great Britain and the League of Nations. Sauk Centre,—Cutting all wire communication, six bandits blew the vault in the Villard State Bank at Villard, seventeen miles northwest of Sauk Centre, and escaped with $9,000 in cash and securities. Six Dancers Killed Jazz and Joy Ride Stage of Realty Operations Has Had Its Day Buckeye Lake.—While 500 negroes were dancing at the pavilion at Buckeye Lake, Ohio, the southwest end crashed into the water below, killing six negroes and seriously injuring six others. By A. H. BARNHISEL, National Association Real Estate Boards. We can assume nothing except a disinclination on the part of the public to take seriously idealism on the part of the real estate man. We must fight this attitude of cynicism by a code of ethics that has sharp teeth in it. New Railroad Formed by New Railroad Formed by Merger New York.—Formation of a new "Nickel Plate" Company, in which the Van Sweringen interests of Cleveland will consolidate the Erie, Pere Marquette, Chesapeake and Ohio and Hocking Valley railroads with their present "Nickel Plate" system, has been agreed upon in a series of conferences between the Cleveland railroad magnates and bankers for the various roads, according to an unofficial report which reached Wall street a few days ago. Individual and group isolations are forever past. We can no longer endure under the economic warfare which isolation bred and kept alive. The bond that limited men's loyalties to family ties has been forced by expanding intimacies to include a larger range of loyalties—to community, to commonwealth and to all mankind. Every man, whether he wills or not, has become a brother of every man with whom he deals. Let no man think he is the sole owner of his own business. FOR GOOD HAIR MME C.J.WALKERS NONE GENUINE MME C.J.WALKER WITHOUT THIS SIGNATURE HAIR PREPARATIONS MONEY BUYS NO BETTER Colored Mail Clerk To Inspect Prisoner Texarkana, Ark., July 31.—Anthony Johns, a mail clerk here, left with J. B. Cheatham, a fellow employee, for Chicago last Tuesday to scrutinize four men held in connection with the $2,000,000 mail robbery near Chicago several weeks ago, to ascertain if they are the men who held up and robbed the mail car of the Kansas City Southern train 30 miles south of here September, 1923. Cheatham was in charge of the mail car at the time and Johns was his helper. Both men gave detailed descriptions of the robbers, immediately afterward and there is said to be good grounds for believing at least two of the Chicago robbers were implicated in the robbery here. Dr. Over for Union Among Baptists Dr. Over for Union Among Baptists Larger Race Schools Termed Best Means of Building Denomination We use too much of our time knocking each other, that't the reason why we cannot have large institutions for the education of our children," declared Dr. David E. Over, president of the National Baptist Theological and Missionary Training Seminary of Nashville, Tenn., at the Baltimore Baptist Ministers' Conference at Trinity Baptist Church, last Monday. "The Methodists have split eight times during the past fifty years, whereas the Baptists have split once, and have over three times as much strife as the Methodists. "Oour children are about to ask us why is it that all other denominations can have larger and well equipped schools, and our church has none. If we expect our children to respect us as ministers, we must make the way clearer for them while they cannot see so well. "Gentlemen, the fighting among ourselves must be stopped. The ammunition that we are now using to fight each other with, should be seved to fight the common enemy."—Afro-American, Baltimore.

CHARLIE STEWART, a local cele- brated character, better known as “Governor,” who was a resident here for many years and who in recent years took up a claim at the Dearfield Colony, Colorado, died suddenly last Saturday while attending a function in honor of the colonization scheme. Mr, Stewart was an octogenarian, be- ing 82 years old when he died. He was an employee of the Home Savings an for several years, and for many years he regularly attended the Deco- ees Day parade, having served his country during the Civil War and re- ‘ceiving a medal for length of service ‘ang bravery. He was very highly ‘thought of by all classes of the com- ‘munity and much respected by those “who came in contact with him, For a ‘man of hisige he was apparently strong and vigorous, and on a recent visit to Denver was pronounced by physicians in a physical condition for several years’ addition to his life. But the end came suddenly and our ‘dear friend CHARLIE yielded to the inevitable, He was kind, affable and xenerous to a fault and his hospitality knew no bounds, He was a, faithful member of the Sacred Heart Catholic church, ‘Twenty-eighth and Larimer streets, where the last rites were per- formed over his remains on Wednes- day, August 6. He leaves one daugh- ter, son-in-law and two grandchildren and numerous friends to mourn his death. It can be said of Charles Stewart, he lived his life well, and as the poet says, “He, like a warrior, is taking his rest, with his martial cloak around him.” ‘The COLORADO STA'TES- MAN offers sincere sympathy to his yalatives. 6006 BLOOD TABLETS are safer than 606.

WALKER WHATEVER it may be with regard to your bonny-faced friends, their content and easy conscience, the idea that you cannot be as happy and carefree as they, is usually misleading. To make one's self ought to be one's chief purpose in life, quite apart from the thought of wealth or station. There is no sense in going around with sour faces, hard-drawn lips and creased forcheads. Why carry gloom about with you, when it lies within your natural power to diffuse sunshine among others, and bask in sunshine yourself? The habitual grouch, the man and woman who are continually finding fault with the weather, imagining fills and seeking every opportunity they can conjure up to air their grievances, are not adepts at making friends or keeping them. They have no passionate kindness, no essence of love, no magnetic qualities of heart or soul, so they run mad, and in their frenzles become a menace to their intimates and all the world. They may tell us that happiness cannot be self-made, yet they believe this affirmation by exhibiting their ability to make themselves miserable. If this same force were exercised as it should be, it would be found equally capable of producing geniality, gladness, animation, hopefulness and high spirits. And herein is the evidence that everybody has the substance within him to create his own happiness.

By ERWIN GREER, President Greer College of Automotive Engineering, Chicago. There are a number of factors to be considered to insure good ignition; breaker points must be kept clean and make perfect contact; make sure that the points separate the proper distance; coil connections must be tight; test for a broken down condenser; there is considerable wear on the distributor segments, same can be cleaned with 00 sandpaper. Do not run spark plug wires through fiber or metal tubing; cut grooves in two blocks of fiber and run wires through grooves and bolt the blocks together. This will overcome considerable ignition trouble. A short in the light wiring will cause battery to discharge, and may also cause a fire. The presence of a short is indicated by a heavy discharge through the ammeter; a short is caused by a wire pinching between the frame of the car breaking the insulation; for emergency repairs use friction tape to insulate the wire from frame. A good many arrests are being made for not having a tall light burning. The tail light should be connected in series with the dash light and then in the event that the tail light goes out the dash light will go out also. When a six-volt battery is used, dash and tail-light globes must be three to four volts each, six to eight volts on head lights; with a 12-volt battery, dash and tail lights must be six to eight volts, head lights 12 to 16 volts. The horn must respond the minute the button is pressed. With a little attention it will respond; lubricate the bearings by removing the horn cover, clean commutator, with 00 sandpaper. To adjust horn loosen adjusting screw, turn with screwdriver and adjust to get the best possible sound. If the motor commutator is badly worn, horn should be taken off and armature must be put in a lathe to true up the commutator, new brushes and brush springs should be installed. There are times when the ignition switch key is misplaced or lost and it is absolutely impossible for the average driver to start car without the aid of a skilled electrician. Instructions for Starting. Here are a few instructions on how to get the car started. In cases where magneto ignition is used remove magneto ground wire and the car will start without any trouble. A car equipped with battery ignition can be started by connecting a wire to the live side of the starting switch to one side of the ignition coil so that the current will go through the coil before it goes through the breaker points. To make sure that the wire is connected to the right side of the starting switch touch the wire to the frame of the car and if a spark or short is produced the connection is O. K. Driver Who Slouches Is Never Really at Never Really at Ease According to a writer in American Motorist, half the pleasure in motorizing comes with learning to manipulate your car with ease and grace. "Correct form of driving," says this writer, "means minimum drain on the pocketbook. Velvetty stops and starts prevent unusual strains on the motor, clutch, transmission, axles and tires. They also cut down the consumption of gasoline and oil. A well-made motor, like a Swiss watch, is a sensitive thing. It resents abuse, but responds willingly, capably, to gentle handling. Starting an automobile is an art. I believe somebody else has said that, but never mind. "Simple though the act may be, there are plenty of drivers who never acquire the finished way of doing it. The master driver aims to create a steady pull on the driving mechanism from the moment he slips into first speed until the car is under full headway. Learn to accelerate simultaneously with letting in the clutch. The mechanical act of gear shifting can be learned in five minutes." Parking on Rainy Day Parking on Kainy Day Most drivers seem to find it more difficult to park their cars in wet weather than in dry. They will not attempt to back the car into spaces which in fair weather they would consider adequate. But those who are more accustomed to driving in the wet have discovered that a space which in dry weather would be difficult to park in is much easier to tackle when J. Pauv is reigning. The reason is wet tires make steering easier. The wheels can be cut this way and that with so little effort that an "impossible" space becomes a possibility before the driver has time to worry about it.

Costelloe of Hammond, Ind., says: An object of the invention is to provide an automobile radiator having as one of the prime features, the ability to easily remove the top and bot- A Front Elevation. tom tanks so that the tubes may be readily reached for replacement and repair. Another object is to provide a radiator with means for simultaneously radiating the heat and adjustably checking the flow of the water. Drilling Hole in Glass Is Comparatively Easy The car owner who finds it necessary to drill holes in glass will succeed if he uses the following method: Grind the points from one corner of a small three-cornered file on the blaze from the other. Place this in a bit such as is used in hardwood. Place the glass to be bored on a smooth surface covered with a blanket or similar material. Begin to bore the hole exactly as if the substance were wood. When a slight hole has been made surround this with putty and fill the dam thus created with turpentine to prevent heating. Do not press too hard on the drill in boring. Old Horn and Rod Make Useful Knock Detector Knocks are often very difficult to locate in an automobile engine. Various devices have been used to locate the trouble, but as good a one as is to be had can be made in a few minutes from an old horn and a rod. All the horn but the bell and diaphragm should be removed. A screw should be placed through the diaphragm and screwed into the end of the rod. When the other end of the rod is placed against the engine the knock can be heard very plainly in the bell. By removing the rod to different points on the cylinder block or crankcase the exact location of the trouble can be discovered. Frequent Lubrication Is Important for Clutch One of the most commonly neglected parts of the car, so far as lubrication goes, is the clutch-operating mechanism. In the case of disk clutches running in oil, the lubrication of the thrust collar and the lever operating it, is automatic. But with clutches that do not operate in a bath of oil, the thrust collar and lever require oiling by hand. The service of these parts is exacting and frequent lubrication of the ball thrust bearing and of the end of the lever which actuates it, is necessary. Furthermore, the bearings of the clutch pedal and the pins which secure the clutch operating linkage should be frequently lubricated. CAPTAINS OF ADVENTURE By Roger Pocock Copyright by Bobbs-Merrill Company THE WHITE MAN'S COMING It is our plain duty here to take up the story of Vancouver, an English merchant seaman from before the mast, who rose to a captaincy in the royal navy, and was sent to explore the British Columbian coast. He was to find "the Straits of Anlan leading through Meta Incognita to the Atlantic," the famous Northwest passage for which so many hundreds of explorers gave their lives. His careful survey proved there was no such strait. Of course it is our duty to follow Vancouver's dull and pompous log book, and show what savage tribes he met with in the wilds. But it will be much more fun to give the other side, the story of Vancouver's visit as told by the Indians whose awful fate it was to be "discovered" by the white man with his measles, his liquor and his smallox. In the winter of 1887-8 I was traveling on snowshoes down the Skeena valley from Gaat-a-maksk to Gaetan-wan-gak, which must be railway stations now on the Grand Trunk Pacific. My packer was Willie-the-Bear, so named because a grizzly had enten off half his face, the side of his face, in fact, which had to be covered with a black veil. We were crossing some low hills when I asked him about the coming of the white men. Promptly he told me of the first ship—a Spanish; the second—Vancouver's; and the third—an American, all in correct order after a hundred years. Who told him? His mother. And who told her? Her mother, of course. So, living as I was among the Indians, and seeing no white man's face for months on end, I gathered up the various memories of the people. At Massett, on the north coast of the Queen Charlotte islands, the Haldas, those nearly white Indians, were amazed by a great bird which came to rest in front of the village. When she had folded her wings a lot of little birds shot out from under her, which came to the beach and turned out to be full of men. They were as fair of color as the Haldas, some even more so, and some red as the meat of salmon. The people went out in their dugouts to board the bird, which was a vast canoe. All of them got presents, but there was one, a person of no account, who got the finest gift, better than anything received by the highest chiefs, a castiron cooking-pot. In those days the food was put with water into a wooden trough and red-hot stones thrown in until it boiled. The people had copper, but that was worth many times the present price of gold, not to be wasted on more cooking pots. So the man with the iron pot, in his joy called all the people to a feast, and gave away the whole of his property, which of course was the right thing to do. The chiefs were in a rage at his new importance, but they came, as did every one else. And at the feast the man of no account climbed the tall pole in front of his house, the totem pole carved with the arms of his ancestors, passing a rope over the top by which he hauled up the iron pot so that it might be seen by the whole tribe. "See," he said, "what the great chief has given me, the Big Spirit whose people have tails stiff as a beaver tail behind their heads, whose canoe is loaded with thunder and lightning, the mother of all canoes, with six young canoes growing up, whose medicine is so strong that one dose makes you sick for three days, whose warriors are so brave that one got two black eyes and did not run away, who have a little dog which scratches and says meauon! "This great chief has given us presents according to our rank, little no account presents to the common people; but when I came he knew I was his brother, his equal, and to me, to me alone, he gave this pot which slits upon the fire and does not burn, this pot which bolls the water, and will not break!" But as the man bragged he kept twitching the rope, and down fell the pot, smash on the ground, and broke all to pieces. Now as to the first white man who came up Skeena river: A very old man of Kitzelash remembered that when he was a boy he stood on the banks of the canyon and there came a canoe with a white man, a big chief called Manson, a Spaniard, and a black man, all searching for gold. He remembered that first one man sang a queer song and then they all took it up and sang, laughing together. A middle-aged man of Gaet-wangak remembered that in his childhood a canoe came up the river full of Indians, and with two white men. Nobody had ever seen the like, and they took the strangers for ghosts, so that the women ran away and hid. The ghosts gave them bread, but they spat it out because it was ghost food and had no taste. They offered tea, but the people spat it out, because it was like earth water out of graves. Rice, too, they would not touch. Getting Around Law Beggany here is forbidden by law—but it doesn't prevent it. Your London mendicant provides himself with a half dozen moth-eaten shoelaces or with three boxes of sulphurless matches and becomes a salesman. The police respect him as a salesman, although people don't buy. They give alms and pass on. 10 (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) In order to have good light and a pleasant view from a window while working at her kitchen cabinet, a farm woman living in Chesterfield county, Va., had the top part removed and fastened to the wall at the right side of one of the kitchen windows. The lower half, containing the bins and drawers, was set directly in front of the window and its top surface was extended on each side with a shelf making a counter reaching two corners of the room. These extension pieces were carefully fitted into the available space and joined to the top of the cabinet. The entire counter was then covered with linoleum matching that on the floor, and varnished to resist water, heat and grease. A little ORANGE JUICE AS AN APPETIZER IS GOOD More Than Refreshing Drink for Children. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) "All gone. More, please," is what most children say after the midmorning lunch of orange juice plus a cracker or two. For orange juice looks-smells, and tastes good to most children, and they generally do not need to be begged to drink it. In this case in fact it disappeared before the camera man could get into action. Orange juice is much more than just a refreshing drink for children, says the United States Department of Agriculture. It is a valuable food containing among other elements the vitamins needed to promote growth. Also when taken as part of the midmorning lunch with a cracker or two, fresh orange juice seems to whet the appetite for the regular meals, and underweight children have thus been helped to add the pounds needed to bring them up to normal. Pure orange juice, just as it is when squeezed from the fruit, is generally so good that it needs no other THE BOYS Orange Juice Is So Good That It Does Not Need Any Flavoring. flavoring. If desired, however, it may be diluted with water, or if it is very sour a little sugar may be added. The good effect will be spoiled if it is sweetened too much, and also children should be taught to like best the natural fruit flavor. The white of an egg may be beaten up and mixed with a glass of orange juice for a child who finds it difficult to take eggs in other ways. This refreshing combination is so easy of assimilation that many physicians recommend it for invalids whose diets must be very carefully prepared. To Keep Mattress in Place Take a piece of tape several inches long, sew one end to the side of either part, work a buttonhole in the other end of tape and sew a button to the other part of mattress and button. If this is done on both sides and at one or two places underneath the mattress cannot slip apart. shelf was put in under the counter on the left-hand side of the cabinet and a hole made in the counter just above it. When the garbage pail was set on this little shelf it was easy to dispose of vegetable parings or other food refuse without leaving the place where one was working. A high kitchen stool was provided, the wood box was fitted with casters, and all small utensils that would hang up were put on hooks on the left side of the window. These improvements were made in connection with a kitchen contest carried on in the county under the direction of the extension agents of the Virginia Polytechnic institute and the United States Department of Agriculture. MICRO-ORGANISMS ARE CAUSE OF SPOILAGE Their Presence Often Unsuspected Until Too Late. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Bacteria, yeasts, and molds—three types of micro-organisms—are the most important and insidious of all causes of food spoilage. They are almost everywhere, yet their presence is often unsuspected until they have caused a food to change color, ferment, or decay. Micro-organisms are distributed in all sorts of ways. Some spread themselves by rapid growth; others are carried by the air, by water, by insects and animals, and on the hands and clothing of people. In a new Farmers' Bulletin, 1374, entitled "Care of Food in the Home," the United States Department of Agriculture explains that the growth of bacteria, yeasts, and molds, like that of any other plants, is influenced by temperature, moisture, and light. One of the chief problems in the care of food is to make these conditions so unfavorable that micro-organisms can not live or at least are unable to develop, without at the same time making undesirable changes in the food itself. For example, pasteurization of milk raises the temperature for a certain time to a point that destroys undesirable bacteria, but does not give the boiled-milk flavor. Most micro-organisms are sensitive to cold also, at least to the extent that growth is more or less checked by a temperature of 40 degrees to 50 degrees F. Drying is another way to prevent the growth of micro-organisms in foods. Dried fruits and vegetables, for instance, may keep for months in a cool, dry place, but as soon as water is added to them they will spoil as quickly as fresh kinds. Direct sunlight destroys many micro-organisms, but the dim light of the cellar is just right for some molds. Bacteria of various sorts must be dealt with in the care of food. Lactic acid bacteria, for example, cause milk to sour but do not necessarily make it unwholesome, and are an aid in making butter and cheese. Other kinds, however, make foods putrefy and decay, and still others develop dangerous poisons. In addition, foods are sometimes contaminated in various ways with the bacteria of such diseases as typhoid fever and paratyphoid, tuberculosis, diphtheria, and dysentery. For instance, the bacteria of typhoid and paratyphoid are transmitted to food as it is handled by persons who carry these organisms in their bodies, though they are apparently healthy. Scraping Scratches Tin For ordinary care, tin utensils should be washed in hot soapy water rinsed in hot clear water, and dried thoroughly, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. A tin utensil that has food dried on it should be covered with a weak soda solution, heated for a few minutes, and then washed. Scraping scratches tin and may expose the iron or steel surface underneath, which may rust. Tin darkens with use, and this tarnish protects the tin; therefore tin utensils should not be scoured simply for the sake of making them bright The Kitchen Cabinet (@. 1924, Western Newspaper Union.) No talent will enable us to do any work without drudgery, but no childishness must tempt us to give it up because it is hard. No work can be well done by anyone who is unwilling to sacrifice ease to its accomplishment. HOT WEATHER DISHES During the warm weather salads and sandwiches form an important part of the summer menu. Nuts and Green Peas.—Take a cupful of cooked green peas and add one-third of a cupful of walnut Mix with Nuts and Green Peas.—Take a cupful of cooked green peas and add one-third of a cupful of walnut meats. Mix with a highly seasoned boiled dressing ano serve on lettuce. Banana and Pineapple Salad.—Place rings of canned pineapple on crisp lettuce and in the center place a small cone of banana, by cutting the end carefully and setting candelike on the pineapple. Sprinkle the top with paprika and serve with salad dressing. Summer Salad.—Drain and chill after cooking one quart of lima beans. Dice two tart crisp apples and two green peppers; finely dice, mix all together, adding a little onion juice and mix with mayonnaise. Serve on lettuce. Chicken Salad Sandwiches.—Prepare chicken salad—using twice as much celery as chicken—well seasoned salad dressing and spread on buttered bread. One may take rolls, butter them on the inside after taking out the centers and fill with chicken salad. These are fine for picnics. Fruit and Nut Sandwiches.—Put through the meat chopper a quarter of a pound of almonds, which have been blanched, with one-half pound of figs and a cupful of pecan meats, mixing and grinding so that they are well blended. Pack the mixture into baking powder cans, pressing it in firmly. When wanted remove and cut into very thin slices; place between rounds of bread well buttered and serve. Lettuce and Peanut Salad.—Take one-half cupful of fresh-roasted peanuts, crush with the rolling pln until like coarse crumbs, sprinkle over head lettuce and serve with a French dressing. A little minced onion may be added if it is liked. Celery Roots.—Wash and scrape the roots and cook in salted water until tender. Drain, cut into dice and cover with a drawn butter sauce. Simmer for five minutes, season to taste and serve. Watermelon Cocktail.—Cut slices of ripe watermelon and with a potato ball cutter prepare balls to fill sherbet glasses. Prepare a sirup with lemon or orange juice and rind, cool and pour over the melon balls. Let stand an hour on ice to season and serve with a sprig of mint in the center of each glass. Study simplicity in the number of the dishes and variety in the character of the meals. To be able to have the things we wished riches; to be able to do without, that in power.—George McDonald. REFRESHING SUMMER DRINKS The acids and mineral salts in fruits are especially good to quench thirst For the teething baby whose gums are hot and swollen there is nothing more cooling than frequent spoonfuls of cool orange juice. If given between baby whose gums are hot and swollen there is nothing more cooling than frequent spoonfuls of cool orange juice. If given between feedings, the best results are obtained. Grape Nectar.—To one quart of grape juice add a pint of sirup and the juice of four oranges. The sirup may be made of sugar and water boiled together, cooled and kept for such purposes. When ready to serve add a quart of charged water. Grape juice, chipped ice and a third of a glass of ginger ale added make a most delightful drink. Old-Fashioned Ginger Water.—This is a well-liked old-fashioned drink. To prepare it mix two tablespoonfuls of ginger with three tablespoonfuls of sugar, add a pint or more of chilled water and bits of ice. Stir well and serve. Molasses was the sweetening used in the old days before sugar was so common. Reception Coffee.—Make a quart or two of strong coffee infusion, the amount depending upon the number to be served. Sweeten to taste, strain, cool and serve in tall glasses with a spoonful of vanilla ice cream on top. Chocolate Sirup.—Melt two squares of chocolate with two tablespoonfuls of boiling water, a cupful of sugar and a pinch of salt. Add two cupfuls of boiling water, cook five minutes, strain and bottle. Keep in a cool place and use by tablespoonfuls in cold milk or water. Pineapple Drink.—Add a can of grated pineapple or a fresh one grated to a pult of sugar sirup and a quart of water. Let stand on ice three hours, strain, add a little lemon juice and charged water. Sheetiron cut the size of the oven, turned-up on the edges a quarter of an inch and reinforced with wire, makes the ideal baking sheet; but just the piece of sheetiron answers every purpose. Nellie Maxwell But words are things And a small drop of ink. Falling like dew upon a thought, Produces that which makes thousands. Perhaps millions, think. A monotonous diet spoils one's appetite for the common foods. "Verlety is the spice of life," and every housewife knows how essential it is in serving the daily food. I Simple Cabbage Salad. —Shred a small cabbage, add a stalk or two of celery cut fine and a slice or two of chopped onion. Pour over the cabbage the following dressing hot: Beat two egg yolks, add two tablespoonfuls of water, a tablespoonful of melted butter, a dash of salt and cayenne and one-quarter of a cupful of vinegar. Cook this over hot water and pour hot over the cabbage, stirring it over the heat until well heated, then serve at once. Onions Stuffed With Rice.—Parboil a sufficient quantity of onions of even size, remove the centers and chop them fine; mix the chopped onion with cooked seasoned rice, a tablespoonful of chopped nuts, salt, butter and cayenne and stuff the onions with this mixture. Bake, basting often with a good soup stock or butter and water. Serve as a garnish around a platter of pork chops. Cabbage With Cheese.—Remove the hard center from a small firm head of cabbage and drop it whole into boiling salted water. When tender drain, place on a platter, cut into triangular pieces and pour over it a hot white sauce made rich with grated cheese. Cottage Cheese and Lettuce Salad.—Take a quarter of a cupful of creamy cottage cheese and mix it with any highly-seasoned salad dressing, either mayonnaise or boiled dressing, add a spoonful of chopped nuts and such seasoning as one likes. Arrange ripe tomatoes in slices and add the dressing all arranged on head lettuce, crisp and cool. Ever Ready Lemonade.—Boll together one cupful of sugar and the same of water, one-half cupful of lemon juice; use this proportion and multiply it to suit the need. Cook about five minutes and bottle. Keep in the ice chest and when wanted add a tablespoonful of the sipup to a glass of ice water. Butterscotch Pie.—Take one and one-half cupfuls of brown sugar, four tablesfuls of cornstarch, the yolks of two eggs, two cupfuls of milk, one tablesfulful of butter and a pinch of salt. Mix and cook; beat well. Pour into a baked crust and cover with a meringue, using the two whites. Brown and serve cold. The heavier the cross the heartier the prayer; The bruised herbs most fragrant are. If wind and sky were always fair The sailor would not watch the star. And David's songs had ne'er been sung If grief his heart had never wrung. SUMMERY DISHES Fruits in various forms should be one of the daily dishes during the sea- son of our delicious fruits and berries. Grapes Strawberry Cocktail—Cut large, perfect berries in half, saving all the juice. For four portions use a pint of berries, add the juice of an orange, three tablespoonfuls of honey, the juice of a lemon and four tablespoonfuls of shaved ice. Mix and fill the glasses and garnish each with a sprig of mint. Currant Ice Cream.—Mash a quart of currants, cook until the juice is extracted, strain and sweeten to taste. Add to a quart of thin cream and freeze as usual. Blackberry Flummery—Cook together without stirring one pint each of blackberries and water; after cooking ten minutes molisten three tablespoonfuls of cornstarch with cold water and add to the boiling berries; let cook until thick and all of the starch taste is removed.

Gooseberry Fool—Cook a quart of gooseberries with a pint of water until soft. Press through a colander, add a tablespoonful of butter, three egg yolks and sugar to sweeten.

Orange and Lemon Sherbet.—To the juice and rind of three oranges and one lemon add a cupful of honey and a pint of cream; freeze as usual and serve in halves of the oranges.

Frocks of Eyelet Embroidery; Adds Charm to the Costume LOVELIER than the loveliest are the exquisite allover eyelet embroidery frocks which leno their colorful charm to the summer landscape. Small wonder is it that milady wavers between choice of an allover lace frock and one of eyelet embroidery. Evidently stylists who create from this exquisite material are guided by the thought that "beauty unadorned is adorned the most." The exclusive elegance of the eyelet fabrics is all-sufficient, relying for its best display on the simplest designing. That is why the highly fashionable eyelet embroidery frock is nothing more or less than a one-piece silpon. Of course, it may have a few bandings of lingerie KINGSTON 1 THE LADY IN A LACE DRESS EYELET EMBROIDERY FROCK cope, as the model in the picture allows, but some are made without a vestige of trimming. The beltless straight-line frock, the season's most fashionable type, by the way, is recommended to the home dressmaker who is calculating on buying as few yards as possible of handsome eyelet allover for "just one more" midsummer frock to add to her wardrobe. One can purchase choice batiste allover done in black on white, or in pastels of green, orchid or blue on white. Also solid shades are obtainable and pure white is the standard-bearer of them all. The last word in midsummer fashions is the knee-length tunic of eyelet embroidery, either white or ecru, worn over a black satin skirt or slip. The 1 1 PHS TWO HANDSOME FROCKS smartest tunics are beltless, and they 'incorporate inserts of pin-tucked net and filet lace. Organdle embroidery in Italian cutwork design is a near relation to the better-known English eyelet, and it, too, is one of fashion's exclusive midsummer fabrics. Nine-inch borders to match this exquisite organdle Italian cutout are one of the inducements offered to milady fair to overspend her monthly allowance. A picturesque lingere touch is given to many a black or colorful satin in the way of a panel or apron effect of sheer eyelet batiste, lace-edged and possibly matched with deep cuffs and collar. If your blouse, hat, scarf, parasol or bathing suit bears not an embroidered monogram motif, then you --- --- are falling to play up to the rules and by-laws of the fashion game. Oh yes, you might include in the above list one's under-the-arm envelope pocket-book, and even one's crepe de chine or fine batiste nightrobe is daintily monogrammed according to style decree. Midame Mode insists that somewhere, somehow most costumes, especially of the sports-wear type, bear the stamp of her approval in the form of hand-worked or machine-stitched hleroglyphics which at least look like a monogram. Of course we all know that the camouflaged monogram is simply for decorative purposes; not even the learned scholar who trans- I lates inscriptions of past centuries can decipher the monogram motifs of the modern stylist. For all that, we have taken quite a fancy to these monogram effects, and they are playing a prominent part in the embellishment of our wearing apparel. Indicative of the monogram mode is the handsome frock pictured to the right, which displays a cleverly designed motif. Of course it "doesn't mean anything," none of them do, they simply "make believe" one's initials. However, they play a decorative part and that is the idea. This girlish frock of tan-colored flannel lays further claim to style in its binding of all edges with red leather matched to that used for the monogram. As popular as the monogram idea is that of the watch fob ornament. That PHC a fanciful silver watch fob dangling from the breast pocket of a conventional tailored coat should impart such an air of sophisticated style is really quite interesting to think about. Just how effective a touch the watch fob gives to a tailored ensemble, the picture herewith is proof. The best part of these fashionable fobs are that they are not necessarily expensive. Not only as a costume accessory, but as a millinery trimming detail, the neatly beribboned watch fob has featured extensively this season. Many a tailored hat has, as its only note of trimming, a rhinestone-set silver watch fob suspended from a strap of grosgrain ribbon. Silver monogram slide buckles are also part of the millinery trimming program. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. --- J. R. CONTEE, Pres. and Mgr.
