XXX NOTIFICATION C Notifying President Coolidge of the rial Continental Hall, Daught Revolution, Washington, D. ADDRESS OF HON. FRANK WYOMIN Chairman of Notificati --- MR. PRESIDENT: In conformity with long-established and approved custom we are assembled here as a committee representing the States, Territories and Possessions of the United States to make formal announcement to you of your nomination on June 12th, last, by the Republican National Convention assembled at Cleveland, for the office of President of the Republic for the term beginning March 4, 1925. The fact that nine of the members of our committee here present are women affords a pleasing reminder of the lively interest that the women of the country have taken in your nomination and of the increasing participation of the better half of mankind in political affairs and activities. The members of our committee not only appreciate the honor of being selected to thus formally notify you of your nomination as the candidate of the Republican Party for the highest office in the gift of the American people, but it affords us real pleasure to be privileged to recall the ideal and inspiring circumstances and conditions under which you were called and chosen for national leadership. To be selected by the representatives of a great historic party as their first and only choice for the high office of the Presidency is indeed a distinguished honor, but such selection has a peculiar significance and dignity when, as in your case, the action of the people freely and emphatically expressed in the manner approved by law and custom, in every quarter of the Republic. The choice thus made by the people was consummated with enthusiasm in a convention which will long be remembered for the splendid character of its membership, the fine spirit of patriotic purpose which pervaded its sessions, the pleasing atmosphere of cordiality and good will which marked its deliberations, and the sincere harmony and perfect decorum which characterized its proceedings. In such a gathering of patriotic men and women, consecrated to the highest ideals of public service, free from the selfish rivalry of personal ambition, the clash of conflicting opinions, you were given your commission of leadership, under conditions that left no wounds to heal or differences to compromise, that held no taint of self-seeking or of questionable endorsement and support. The platform adopted at Cleveland by practically unanimous vote, in frank and courageous fashion declares the party faith and outlines the party purpose, and we anticipate with pleasure and confidence your interpretation of that faith and purpose as applied to present problems and conditions. The country awaits with lively interest your charting of the party course, for you speak by authority on behalf of a great party with a matchless record of faithful adherence to sound principles and of prompt and honest fulfillment of platform pledges. Armed with this high and honorable commission you speak from the wide experience of long and honorable --- State Hist & Nut 1116 Society State House participation in important public affairs and a personal record of unwaivering adherence to the highest ideals of party faith and public service. These are the elements which justify faith and confidence in political announcements and lacking which, declarations, pledges and promises have slight claim to acceptance or consideration. Your nomination and election as vice president four years ago was in recognition of public services of the highest character and value, and the modesty, fairness and good judgment with which you discharged the important duties of that office won wide and general commendation and approval. Called suddenly to the Presidential office you were soon confronted with problems calculated to test to the utmost your courage, fidelity and judgment. You brought to the consideration of these important questions the splendid qualities of mind and heart and conscience which have ever guided and controlled your private life and public service, and in their settlement strengthened and confirmed the public faith in your eminent fitness for the vast responsibilities of the Presidency. Mr. President, the call to continued leadership and service which we bring has come to you from the official representatives of the party under whose standards you have so long renedered ideal public service. We believe it has the approval and will receive the support of vast numbers of right-thinking people, without regard to party, who, recognizing your unselfish devotion to the public welfare, your steadfast courage and unquestioned honesty of purpose, have given you their confidence, in a measure rare if not unprecedented in our recent history. The American people know that this confidence is well deserved. It has the sound and substantial basis of your faith in American principles and institutions, your confidence in the will and capacity of the American people to solve all their problems in harmony with our constitutional scheme and plan of government. It rests upon your lively interest in and your sympathetic attitude toward every question and problem of the day and your desire to be helpful in securing their permanent and satisfactory settlement, but most of all it is based upon the knowledge that in all things your single purpose is that of serving the public interest, unmindful of the effect upon your personal or political fortune. We recall with pride and gratitude our great party leaders of the past, and we glory in the national and world-wide recognition of their virtues and their statesmanship. We recognize in you, Mr. President, a worthy successor of these great leaders—an heir to all their high qualities. Under your leadership we look confidently forward to a continued opportunity for service to the honor of the Republic and the progress and prosperity of its people. ABLE PEOPLE'S P RADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA SCHERVET DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1924 SCHERVE President Coolidge Denounces Efforts to Override the American Constitution WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—Replying to a letter of protest against the candidacy of a Negro in New York state for Congress, President Coolidge Monday expressed "amazement" at the suggestion that he intervene, and reaffirmed his intention of administering the constitution, which, he pointed out, guarantees equal rights to all our citizens, without discrimination on account of race or color. The letter, made public at the White House, was written by the President to Charles R. Gardner of Fort Hamilton, N. Y. Mr. Gardner had sent a newspaper clipping concerning the candidacy of a Negro for a seat in Congress from New York and suggested "repeated ignoring the growing race problem does not excuse us for allowing encroachments." "Leaving out of consideration the manifest impropriety of the President intruding himself in a local contest for nomination," Mr. Coolidge wrote in reply, "I am amazed to receive such a letter "During the war 500,000 colored men and boys were called up under the draft, not one of whom sought to evade it. They took their places wherever assigned in defense of the nation of which they are just as truly citizens as are any others. The suggestion of denying any measure of their full political rights to such a great group of our population as the colored people is one which, however, it might be received in some other quarters, could not possibly be permitted by anyone who feels a responsibility for living up to the traditions and maintaining the principles of the Republican party. "Our constitution guarantees equal rights to all citizens, without discrimination on account of race, or color. I have taken my oath to suphim peculiar, but Mrs. Davis, whom they also called "Mammy," kept the port that constitution. It is the source of your rights and my rights. I propose to regard it and administer it, as the source of the rights of all the people, whatever their belief or race. A colored man is precisely as much entitled to submit his candidacy in a party primary as is any other citizen. The decision must be made by the constituents to whom he offers himself and by nobody else. "You have suggested that in some fashion I should bring influence to bear to prevent the possibility of a colored man being nominated for Congress. "In reply I quote my great predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt: "* * * I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race or color." Bulk of Kentuckian's Fortune Willed to Aged Housekeeper of Col. Hughes Bulk of Kentuckian's Fortune Willed to Aged Housekeeper of Col. Hughes Suppose you were the employee of whom everybody else called "queer" or "peculiar," would you always take up for him and say he was a fine man? Mrs. Ellen Davis, as housekeeper of the late Col. J. T. Hughes of Lexington, Ky., has for years believed that he was a fine man, when everyone else called him "eccentric." A short time ago he went to Chicago where he took ill and died at a hospital this week. His will was then brought forth to reveal the fact that the "eccentric breeder of fine race horses" had left the bulk of his fortune to Mrs. Davis, his aged housekeeper. She is to receive, under provisions of his will, his fine country home and estate of nearly three thousand acres, with all of its fine stock, implements, crops, etc., valued at over $100,000. Col. Hughes was a friend of the late "Lucky" Baldwin of California fame, Our Brown Brothers In Orient Ask Equal Pay with Whites Manila, P. I., July 25.—Because they demanded equal pay with white soldiers, and because they organized a soldiers' union to enforce their demands, 500 Phillippine scouts are to be placed on trial here charged with mutiny. This trial, which is scheduled to begin on July 29th, marks the latest effort of American imperialism to subjugate discontent among the colonial troops of the growing empire of the United States. The demands of the Philippine scouts have already been labelled as "Bolshevist," and the trial proceedings have been broadened to take in at least 500 men stationed at Fort McKinley. The work of investigation connected with the trials has been completed and the accused divided into three groups. The trials, instead of beginning July 25th, as announced, will begin July 29th. Three courts are to be set up for the hearings instead of two, as had been planned. These will be: A court to try the fifteen alleged ringleaders in the movement, which included besides refusal to perform duty, the formation of a secret soldiers' union, intended to seek equalization of pay with white soldiers. Brig. Den, Douglas MacArthur already has been named to head this court. The principal charge against these men is inciting a mutiny. 15-Story Hotel Is Proposed in Harlem 15-Story Hotel Is Proposed in Harlem Announcement has just been made by the Anglo-American Finance Corporation of 1457 Broadway that they will erect a 15-story apartment hotel in Harlem, at 127th street and 7th avenue. Plans are now being drawn for the building, which will be modern in every way and which will contain 400 rooms, each with private bath; two fine dining rooms, a roof garden, sun garden, turkish baths and gymnasium. Need for such a hotel has long been felt in New York, as the present hotel facilities in this section are inadequate. In addition to caring for the large number of travelers who visit New York annually, the new hotel will afford accommodations for many of the local people who are living in furnished rooms. The new hotel will be known as the Booker Washington Hotel.—New York Age. and has for years been raising the finest of trotting racers. Others called big house straight for him, and it is said advised and aided him with many helpful suggestions in the handling of his stock business. Col. Hughes seems to have had a filial regard for the aged woman, who had cared for him since his childhood. And into the bequests of his last will and testament, he wrote unmistakably his feeling of gratitude to the elderly woman of color who had grown old in his service. Mrs. Ellen Davis will now be rated one of the wealthiest women of Kentucky's most prosperous center. NO. 44. Aeroplane to Aid Missionary Work in Haiti Fields Aeroplane to Aid Missionary Work in Haiti Fields Washington, D. C., August 5.—Admiral L. W. Eberle, Chief of the Bureau of Operations, Navy Department, has issued orders to the marine officer in charge of the American forces in Haiti, under which the Rev. H. R. Carson, missionary bishop of the Episcopal church on that island, is authorized to make use of the government aeroplanes in his visitations to various parts of the Island. It is believed that this is the first instance in which the aeroplane has been put to the uses of the church. In this particular case, according to statements made, Bishop Carson will be enabled to visit inaccessible portions of Haiti, where the Christian religion has setdom, if ever, been preached, and through government assistance he will be able to carry the message of American Christian civilization to natives who are still living in comparative savagery. Mayor Benjamin F. Stapleton Pleads for Support of United City in Civic Betterment Program; Regards Vote as Something Greater than Personal Tribute. THE people of Denver, by an overwhelming vote, have gone on record against the recall. Although the results of the election of yesterday are extremely gratifying to me, I do not regard the vote as a personal success or tribute, but as a victory for all those who are ready to work together for a better Denver. I am deeply appreciative of the fact that I have been retained in office by all the people of Denver; not by a group or by a class or by a creed. I have pledged myself to continue to be the mayor of all the people of this city and will keep that pledge. I feel that the people have answered the charges of the backers of the recall. The answer is emphatic. It has imposed a heavier obligation to the welfare of our marvelous city upon me than ever before. No man in whom the voters have, within such a short time, twice shown their confidence can but feel inspired to deserve and merit that trust. I accept the responsibility in the most humble spirit. I interpret the vote, also, as an endorsement of a municipal program of progress and construction. I wish to assure the citizens of Denver that the general plans for civic improvement, already under way, will be pushed to completion. I plead for the support and co-operation of a united city in this program. Let us work together as one in the effort to make Denver the finest city in the United States. For the support of those who made yesterday's result possible, I am indeed grateful. The very size of the majority against the recall indicates how strongly the people feel upon this subject. To all our citizens I reiterate the pledge I made before the election to endeavor to carry on the duties of my office solely in the interest of the entire city. BENJAMIN F. STAPLETON. IT WAS EPISODE THREE By H. LOUIS RAYBOLD (©) 1924, McClure Newspaper Syndicate. When Angus Patterson, bereft of his wife, left for South America to look up a mining proposition, he did not know that he would never see his little daughter Jean again. In fact, so sure was he that he would return within the year that he placed her in a private school and paid her board and tuition in advance for exactly twelve months from date. "Teach her manners," he bluntly told the head of the school, Cynthia Krailing. "Some day she'll manage a big establishment." At the time he supposed it would be his own. Kissing the weeping Jean he comforted her with assurances that he would soon be home again, and in the meanwhile exhorted her to study hard, be a good girl, and write regularly to Aunt Julie, her dead mother's sister whose husband captained a string of barges operating between Buffalo and New York. Then Angus took his departure to invest what little fortune he had in a losing venture, and shortly after to die of jungle fever far in the interior of Brazil. Money or no money, Cynthla Kralling would gladly have kept Jean on at school, but there came a day when she abandoned teaching to marry, and the problem of disposing of Jean had to be faced. Opportunely there arrived one morning a pleasant-faced woman who announced herself as Jeann's Aunt Julie and begged for a visit from her sister's child. So, wifh a little pang as she looked into the girl's starry eyes, she said good-by and, like Jean's father, bade her be "a good girl." She promised not to forget her and, if the time ever came when she needed her, to prove Jean's friend. So ended the first phase of Jean Patterson's life. When Helen Cabot bought a mahogany speed boat for her son Dick and turned him loose in it for the summer she did not foresee the consequences. "The poor boy is worn out with studying," she told her husband, "and before going into your office in the fall needs a good rest out of doors. He has set his heart on a certain boat. Let him have it." So the speed devil was purchased, and with a couple of friends Dick set off up the Hudson for a destination that was vague but distant—Georgian bay at the very nearest. A day later they locked into the Erle with several barges, among them one which stood out above the others because of its well-kept condition, freshly laundered curtains at every cabin window, pots of brilliant geraniums at the door, and a sleek cat blinking lazily in the sunshine. Whatever details Dick absorbed at first glance, however, were immediately eclipsed by the young girl who sat sewing in a low chair, her slender ankles gracefully crossed. The swish of the incoming water, accustomed although she was to it, for an instant startled her, and she looked up—straight into Dick's eyes as he stood on the old towpath manipulating ropes for the smoother passage of the Speed Devil. "I am going to marry that girl," he declared to his scandalized companions. "Watch me. Meanwhile we hang about here with the barges until I can make an opportunity to meet her." Dick met her aunt and uncle, and little by little he won their confidence and Jeann's affections. On the day that she promised to marry him within the year he wrote to his parents. "She is the most beautiful girl in the world!" he ended his letter. Helen went to pieces over the communication. "Imagine!" she said, "our Dick losing his head over a pretty barge girl!" Then she gathered her wits together to combat the situation. "I know the thing to do," she declared, "I'll invite her here and give a dinner for her. It cannot fall to show him how utterly unfit she is to fit into the environment to which he would bring her as his wife." so hopefully she sat down at her splinet desk and wrote two cleverly worded notes—one to her beloved son and one to the dreadful girl who had ensnared him. A week later Jean Patterson, with a very fluttering heart stood in the doorway of the Cabot drawing room. Well she knew that she was on trial and that her future was at stake, and bitterly she dreaded the ordeal. Unfortunately, Dick's mother pursued her reflections, little things would give the girl's breeding away, those indefinable trifles so minute, yet so essential. As for Jean herself, she seemed suddenly to have returned to the atmosphere of the old private school of her girlhood, of which she had made no mention to the Cabots, and unconsciously little tricks of gesture and speech learned at that time returned to help her over the difficult moment of introductions. Still, she could not but feel an outcast here where every one knew everyone else. Suddenly a woman who had entered but a moment before—a tall dignified woman with distinguished white hair and friendly eyes—came quickly forward. "Helen," she said, "who is this girl?" Then, turning to Jeann, "Is it possible—can it be that you are little Jean Patterson, star pupil at my school? Dick, you lucky boy! Dick," she explained to the bewildered Jeann, "is my husband's nephew. What a lovely surprise!" Then she turned to her sister-in-law. "It's a small world, after all, isn't it?" she said. And Dick, who knew that his cause was won, whispered tenderly to Jeann. "If you had told me, darling, you knew Aunt Cynthia!" "I didn't know—" began Jean. Then she felt Helen's arm propelling her gently forward to more newcomers. "Dear Jean, I want you to meet—" And Jean went happily. After all, whether Dick's mother loved her for herself alone or because she had been, so to speak, vouched for by her old school mistress, what difference did it make? Ingenious Thief Had Crow as Accomplice An ingenious trick was that practiced by a youth named Boschat early in 1911. He went into a grocer's shop in Paris and asked for some sugar; and when the grocer returned from getting it he almost jumped out of his skin to see a black crow sitting on one of the shelves eyeing him! The bird fluttered about the shop, defying all efforts of the grocer to capture him. While the tradesman's attention was disturbed Boschat quietly riffled the till and then gave a little whistle. At the signal the crow flew out of the shop, with its owner after it, apparently doing his best to capture his pet. It was only when the clever thief and his black accomplice had disappeared out of sight that the grocer discovered how he had been robbed. Swiss National Flower The edelweiss, the national floral emblem of Switzerland, is a white, star-shaped perennial flower. It plays an important part in the legend and poetry of that nation and, due to its rarity, laws protect it there. Appearing in exposed places, high in the Alps of Switzerland, Tyrol, Garinthla, Austria and Serbia, its fame is due chiefly to the difficulty in obtaining it. Thrilling tales are told of the lure of the rare edelweiss. That it can be easily cultivated, however, has been proved by its frequent appearance in American and European gardens. The plant grows about six inches high. Its compound flowers are surrounded by small, woolly flower-leaves (bracts) and sage-green foliage leaves. Almost any soil, not too rich and fully exposed to the sun, will produce edelweiss plants, for the woolly covering enables them to hold moisture and endure exposure. The word is from the German, and means "noble white." Japanese Hand Tools Hand tools used in Japan differ considerably from those used in occidental countries and consequently there is not a large market for picks, shovels, rakes, etc. In place of shovels a kind of hoe with the blade at an acute angle to the handle is used, the implement being pulled toward the operator in picking up material instead of being pushed into the material as is done with a shovel, says the Detroit News. A kind of heavy one-bladed mattock is used to dig up the soil in gardens and on farms in place of spades and hoes. Bamboo rakes are the only variety in common use in Japan. Some picks and shovels made after western patterns have been coming into use for heavy excavation work in the cities, as they have been found to be more efficient than the native implements. No Mail in the Beyond The Irishman was walking along the bank of the river. He was fuming with rage, for that day he had a dispute with a neighbor over the ownership of a pig, and things had not gone well with him. Suddenly a cry for help rent the air and turning around, he saw a man struggling in the water. Seeing Mike on the bank, the man in the water waved his hand and shouted: "Hey, mate, drop me a line!" In a flash the man on the bank recognized his adversary in the pig dispute. Thrusting his hands in his pockets, he made to resume his walk, remarking over his shoulder: "Sure, but there ain't no post office where ye're goin' to!" Languages Much Alike A number of the letters of our alphabet are altered and modified forms of the primitive pictures or ideographs used thousands of years ago by the Babylonians and Egyptians, though this relationship is not now readily discoverable. As a matter of fact similar evidence of pictorial origin is to be found in the characters of all written languages, persisting, like primitive ancestral and racial traits, in spite of the universal tendency to simplify and conventionalize them—Exchange. What's the Use? The most futtle thing in the world is to hunt over the house for a lead pencil. Even if you find it, which is doubtful, it will not have a point on it—Kansas City Star. POINTS ON KEEPING WELL Dr. Frederick R. Green, Editor of "Health." THE DANGERS OF FACE POWDER SOME kind of face powder is today almost universally used by women and girls. The change in this habit in recent years is in striking contrast to former customs. In our grandmothers' days, the use of powder was regarded as almost immoral. A woman who "powdered and painted" her face was hardly considered respectable. Today, no woman thinks of appearing in public without a coating of powder on her face. There is not the slightest concealment about it. Our women and girls powder their noses on the street cars and on the street corners. A fine coating of powder on the skin is not only not injurious, but is beneficial. It protects the skin from the wind and the sun. The early forms of face powder contained lead or other injurious ingredients. Face powders, today, are, in the main, harmless. Yet there are a few precautions to be observed in their use. Some preparations cause inflammation of the eyes. Naturally, this is found almost exclusively in women, although it sometimes occurs in men, following the use of talcum powder after shaving. The vision is blurred, the lids burn and itch, especially after prolonged use of the eyes. Many toilet powders, especially those known as "rice powders," contain ingredients which irritate the lining membrane of the eyelids. Only those powders should be used which are known to be pure and free from harmful substances. In former years, powder was generally applied to the face by means of a powder-puff, and often the powder was driven upward and lodged on the moist eyeballs, causing infection. The powder-puff is little used today, except on the home dressing-table, and there the powder is generally applied with absorbent cotton, which is thrown away after a few applications. Most women carry in their handbags, pocketbooks or vanity cases "compacts" containing a cake of solid powder and a pad for applying it. The solid powder is free from many of the objections which apply to loose powder, but the pad is often used for a long time until it has become soiled. Fine, pure talcum powder or rice powder, applied with a clean cotton pad or piece of absorbent cotton and used in moderation, will do no harm. But care should be taken to apply it with a clean cloth, to avoid irritating the eyes, and to see that the skin is thoroughly cleansed, morning and evening, with soft water, pure soap, and a clean washcloth, followed by large quantities of cold water. SANITATION OF THE AUTOMOBILE CAMP EVERY human advance brings with it new problems. The increasing tourist automobile traffic has brought about the establishment in most cities of automobile tourist camps. Improved roads, constantly kept in repair, have made this method of travel increasingly popular. Two summers ago, while riding over the great Columbian highway, on the south bank of the Columbia river in Oregon, checking up the automobiles for a part of a day, it was found that every third automobile on that magnificent road carried some kind of camping outfit. Camp sites were found all along the way, particularly where supplies of wood and water were present. Almost every city now has some kind of a tourist camp place. Many of the larger cities have well-equipped grounds, provided with running water, tent platforms, electric lights, provision stores, and even, in some cases, bathhouses, and shower baths. The growing tourist traffic with its increasing use of these automobile camps makes necessary rigid provision for their cleanliness and sanitation. A public health report, issued by the United States public health service, calls attention to regulations issued last year by the Minnesota state board of health. These regulations require adequate water supply, toilet facilities, arrangement for refuse disposal, etc. The water supply must be from a source approved by the state board of health. If it is obtained from any source except a municipal water system, it must be from a well, spring or other source located, constructed and operated in accordance with the requirements of the board. Galvanized iron garbage cans with covers must be provided, the contents of which must be removed daily. The camp site must be well situated and properly drained. The steady increase in automobile touring as a means of spending some or all of the summer months and the danger of spreading typhoid fever, dysentery and other diseases by means of insanitary camp sites makes it advisable for all cities to enforce such regulations as will insure healthful and comfortable camping sites for tourists. MILLIONS AFFECTED BY DISAS TER THROUGHOUT EAST- I ERN EMPIRE CHINA SUFFERS FAMINE HUNAN PROVINCE IS NEARLY WIPED OUT BY THE TOR- RENTIAL FLOODS Peking—From 13,000 to 14,000 dead and nearly 14,000,000 affected by famine is the latest estimate of the relief commission of the victims of the floods which have been almost general throughout China. Of the dead, 3,000 perished in Kalgan, Chihill province, and the majority of the remainder in Human province, which suffered more than other parts of the country in the torrential floods. The metropolitan area, which includes twelve counties from Peking southward in Chihil province, with a population of 4,000,000, has 800,000 persons who need relief, according to the commission. In other provinces the number who will have to be cared for is even greater. In Hunan it is estimated there are 4,760,000 so situated; in the whole of Chihil, 5,100,000; Kiangsi, 240,000; Kwangtung, 2,500,000; Fukein, 130,000; Shantung, 310,000; Honan and Hupen, 54,000 each. Chekiang province is also reported to have suffered but no detailed reports have been received from there. The relief commission, basing its computation of the famine of 1921, when 19,000,000 sufferers required $37,000,000 (Mex.) for relief, estimates that the present emergency requires $20,000,000 (Mex.). Af this, the members of the commission estimate that $15,000,000 will be forthcoming from customs and other surtaxes and other missionary sources. Thus far the famine sufferers have only been aided at Kalgan, where, with Chinese assistanec, the needs of the people have been met. Many of the areas from which the flood waters have already been drained will produce winter crops. There have been no refugees except a few hundreds who have arrived in Peking. In the affected districts, the people are mostly camping on the dykes and higher ground. Former Canon City Convict Shot. Former Canon City Conflict Shot. Taylorville.—The bank bandit shot down a few days ago at Taylorville, Ill., as he attempted to escape with $18,500 currency in a traveling bag, has been identified as James Dinwoodie, alias James McDonald, by John George, chief of police at Springfield. Dinwoodie is a former convict, according to Chief George, who said that he had served a long term in the Colorado penitentiary on a murder charge. Three Idaho Banks Closed. Boise.—Three southern Idaho banks, all small institutions and located at Montpellier, Rierie and Rexburg, have closed their doors, according to advises received by state banking officials at Boise. Frozen assers were declared to be the cause of all three closings. Posse Kills Desperado. Seattle.—Sheriff Matt Starwich and six deputies shot and killed J. Brown when Brown and two others attempted to rob the Snoqualmie Valley bank at Tolt, Washington. Three Killed in Crash East Lansing—Professor Frank A.

Detroit.—Fire wiped out the plant of the Dwight Lumber Company at River Rouge, a suburb, and did damage estimated at more than $1,000,000. For a time the flames threatened the entire residence district for the suburb and the local authorities called on the Detroit fire department for aid in fighting the flames. Guy Bolton Accused of Plagiarism. Guy Bolton Accused of Plagiarism. New York.-Guy Bolton, author of the play "Polly Preferred," now on a London stage, was accused of plagiarism by Ossip Dymow in a suit against Bolton, S. Ray Comstock and Morris Gest, producers for $100,000 to $500,000 for alleged infringement of copyrights. Dymow charged that Bolton read the manuscript of his play "Personality," while pretending to assist in its translation from the Russian, and got from it ideas for "Polly Preferred." --- THE COLORADO STATESMAN [Emblem with a shield and crown] RELIABLE chronicle of their doings andgress; a faithful mirror their wants, their hopes,ir best aspiration.

Only 1-cent and 2-cent stamps PRESIDENT COOLIDGE----MAN OF COURAGE THE more the character of Calvin Coolidge is unfolded the more it becomes apparent why he is today the recognized leader of a great political party and of the American government. Not a man of honeyed words nor of long drawn-out phrases; not a man of gilded promises nor of soaring platitudes, but a man of undaunted courage at every test and whenever the occasion calls for an exhibit of courage. Calvin Coolidge as Governor of Massachusetts did not quail or falter at the much-heralded policemen's strike in Boston; Calvin Coolidge as President of the United States did not compromise, nor halt, nor "shilly-shally" when brought face to face with the tax-burdening, soldier bonus bill, the increase in the veterans' pension and other bills purposely submitted to him as a demand for a reduction in governmental expenditures. These and more he met bravely and with in the intrepidity necessary to a great leader. On Monday last his courage was submitted to a new test and again the President arose to the occasion with a manifestation of fearlessness that will convince American citizens for all time that the right man is in the White House. It was courage that carried Calvin Coolidge from the capitol of the old "Bay State" to Washington and it will be this same element that will retain him these four years longer in guidance of our national destiny. But let us get to the story. A citizen of Fort Hamilton, N. Y., presuming himself to be, no doubt, "some pumpkins" in the ranks of the Republican party, took umbrage over the fact that a Negro in New York state had become a candidate for a seat in Congress. This man, Gardner, had the brazen effrontery to write President Coolidge in protest against a Negro aspiring for a representative office and suggested that the President intervene to keep the Negro off the ticket. We are aware that America has produced and is rapidly producing all kinds and characters of colorophobists, and one need not be surprised in any new angle that may arise. But it is admittedly beyond us to imagine any sane being taken unto himself so much authority as did this man Gardner, for no purpose other than to put the president in a hole. If that be his object, and evidently it was, then he has failed so ignominiously as to stamp him as the monumental buffoon of the 1924 presidential campaign. His reference to the candidacy of a Negro as an encroachment is an insult, not alone to the great president to whom he so brazenly addressed his letter, but to every American citizen who loks upon the constitution of the United States as something more than a mere scrap of paper. But to use the term "encroachments," we would like to know as to an encroachment upon whom and upon what? Who in this country has delegated authority to say what persons of any race may or may not aspire to official recognition? We will let the President answer in his own words: "Our constitution guarantees equal rights to all citizens, without discrimination on account of race, or color. I have taken my oath to support that constitution. It is the source of your rights and my rights. I propose to regard it and administer it, as the source of the rights of all the people, whatever their belief or race. A colored man is precisely as much entitled to submit his candidacy in a party primary as is any other citizen. The decision must be made by the constituents to whom he offers himself and by nobody else. "You have suggested that in some fashion I should bring influence to bear to prevent the possibility of a colored man being nominated for Congress. "In reply I quote my great predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt: If reply my great predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt. "'* * * I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race or color.'"

The advanced position of a nation is them, its permanent growth and power come merely than from any other source. IT SEEMS but a short period since the closing of schoolhouse and college, with brilliant commencement exercises and forensic oratory in graduation addresses, and yet the vacation season is about over. Soon the daily grind within the classroom will be resumed, not with regret we opine, for it is becoming evident that the thirst for knowledge is becoming more and more a normal state of humanity as the complex exactions of society grow upon us. Thus, instead of the struggle for education becoming an arduous task, it is now being accepted as a duty absolutely imperative if one is to succeed in the race of life. The eminently fit, the especially prepared person for given tasks in this world are the ones being sought and given preferment in every avenue of business and in the professions. The advanced position of a nation is measured by its educational system, its permanent growth and power comes from its intelligence more surely than from any other source.

The founders of this republic were far-visioned in many things but in none more than its educational program. It is unfortunately true that we are slow at arriving at the best means of educating the masses and to our shame there are sections that place huge obstacles in the way of some of its citizens. But the thirst for knowledge goes on and today all people are seeking and demanding better educational facilities and opportunity. They will not be longer denied that which is so necessary in the competitive field of industry and art. MILLIONS TO ENTER SCHOOL DOORS Future American citizens by the millions are preparing to enter the school doors early next month in earnest solemn quest of the priceless gift of an education. The pilgrimage is strangely objective. It is a matter of business, born of a desire to best fit one for any requirements of life. The world calling for the finished product both as to man and materials. A diamond in the rough is not sufficient and so our school system, from kindergarten to college, carries an importance in the life of every boy and girl, of every man and woman that cannot be passed on lightly. We do not like the thought of a compulsory educational system being the set policy of any country and still it has been found absolutely essential in some countries. But there is an incentive in American life that is luring on the increased millions who will turn toward the classroom next month, and this element is far more helpful than any compulsory provisions of education.

It is a beautiful situation to contemplate, a truly primitive melting pot. Here no doubt the competitive spirit springs strongly and it would be an interesting study to note which youthful mind unfolds the more rapidly, that of Caucasian, Japanese, of Chinese or of Negro. Fortunately a remarkable woman is at the head of this school as principal, large of heart, sympathetic and generous, fully capable of discerning the very first outcropings of genius and ability in the youthful, and what is of more importance she will give to all a square deal. SCHOOL ROOM COSMOPOLITAN The American school room is the most cosmopolitan institution in the world. Nothing to compare to it has a counterpart in any other country. From it there must come our future citizens, our statesmen, artists, professional men and tradesmen. They will come from every race and kind, and in this regard more than in any other will the supreme test be given to the doctrine of the survival of the fittest. ean school room is the most cosmopolita ning to compare to it has a counterpart in there must come our future citizens, our st n and tradesmen.

STONE, United States Attorney General. NOTWITHSTANDING the improvement, actual and potential, in our static law, the actual administration of justice in the United States is not improving, and there are multiplying evidences that it is in a period of decline, which began before the World war and was greatly accelerated by the war. That decline is not due either to the form or substance of our legal structure, which has been steadily improving for a generation, but is to be attributed rather to our failure to develop that facility in translating legal rules into actual control of action, which is essential to an adequate legal system. For a generation we have progressively lowered the tone and standards of the bar through the increasing numbers of those entering the legal profession, who are without the adequate technical training and experience, and without the background of liberal education, experience, and associations which make for moral responsibility. The most important step for the improvement of the law on its administrative side is by improvement in the training, character, and morale of those to whom its administration is primarily committed, by convincing ourselves and the public that our profession ought to be, and must be, in a real sense a learned profession. Fundamentally there is no reason why the office of the public prosecutor should be a political office, and yet indefinite harm is done to the cause of law enforcement and good government in this country in consequence of the fact that that office is either frankly and avowedly political, or, in any event, is peculiarly subject to untoward political influences. This fact is probably more responsible for the lax administration of law than all other causes combined. Deeply Concerned as to How Far Girls Should Go in Competitive Games By DR. J. F. ROGERS, U. S. Bureau of Education. Since girls have taken to the athletic field with increasing interest and have indulged in those sports which have been looked upon for centuries as belonging to the province of the male only, "adults of both sexes have felt grave concern lest harm should follow this breaking away from old traditions and customs. We are deeply concerned as to how far girls should go in competitive games. The attitude of the American boy toward the outcome of athletic contests is not always characterized by the sanity that could be wished for and which is shown by participants in games in some other countries. Partly, no doubt, from imitation of this attitude and partly because competitive athletics are for them a new and especially exciting form of adventure, women have entered into these sports with an intensity which has added to the fear for their welfare under such circumstances. The entry of women into athletics has not been peculiar to this country, and the same concern for them has been felt abroad. A Father's Strictness Among the Girls' Reasons for Running Away By MARY E. HAMILTON, in "The Policewoman." Too many times a father's strictness figures prominently among the girls' reasons for running away. A typical tragic case is one in which the father takes every cent his daughter earns, allowing her no spending money except ten cents for carfare each day and perhaps fifteen cents for lunch. When she returns home from work, she is relegated to the kitchen; a moving-picture show would completely disrupt her morals and lower her standard of working efficiency. Young people, especially young men, are entirely out of the question. Finally rebelling against such treatment, the girl deserts the parental roof, much to the grief and consternation of her parents. If she has sense, and luck favors her, she may become self-supporting. Most runaway girls, making a sincere and honest effort to support themselves, succeed in doing so. Others ignorantly brave, with little or no money and no idea of what to do, once they are free from the severe parental restrictions, soon become discouraged, fall in with bad companions and gradually drift into bad ways or an easy mode of life. "Why I Summon Lawyers of America to Standard of Conservatism" By FEDERAL JUDGE JAMES H. WILKERSON, Chicago. Never in the history of the world has it been so important that, proving all things, we hold fast to those that are true. That is why I say that the great work of conservation of basic principles rests primarily upon those who understand the growth of law and know the meaning of government. That is why in these times of uncertainty and distrust, of reactionary innovation put forward in the name of reform, I summon the lawyers of America to the standard of conservatism. Our plan of government, provided in the Constitution, has never been equaled. Today, in the name of progress, this central principle of our government is assailed. The performance by the judicial department is denounced as tyranny of judges and usurpation by the courts. There is a concrete proposal—that, if a law which has been held unconstitutional is re-enacted the courts thereafter may not hold it invalid. This means nothing less than a change in the method of amending the Constitution. It is the first step in industrial revolution, which involves the destruction of property and the subjection of industry to the dictatorship of a centralized government. Intravenous Therapy May Revolutionize the Practice of Medicine By DR. W. FORREST DUTTON, Pennsylvania Polyclinic Hospital. Intravenous therapy has made great progress. In view of its development, I believe, it will revolutionize the practice of medicine from a therapeutic standpoint. It is now known to be safe, efficient, accurate and speedy in obtaining results. Formerly the treatment was used in only two or three diseases and limited to four or five drugs. Now it may be applied in approximately 130 diseases. About 140 drugs are used. When injection is made in the vein with the needle the medicine reaches every portion of the body in less than sixty seconds. The stomach is a veritable chemical laboratory. When you put a substance there you don't know what action the gastric or intestinal juices will have. By injecting the medicine into the veins you change conditions from the unknown to the known. GERMANS ACCEPT RUHR PLAN FRANCO-BELGIAN EVACUATION PROGRAM APPROVED AS CON- FERENCE COLLAPSE LOOMS SEC'Y HUGHES RETURNS EBERT HOLDS SPECIAL CABINET MFETING ON DANGERS OF FAILURE London.—After a day of intensive conferences, during which the allied reparations conference seemed on the verge of collapse, the German delegation announced its intention of accepting the French proposals for evacuation of the Ruhr. "We are disappointedly going to accept the French proposals," the German announcement said. The French proposals give France and Belgium a year to withdraw their troops from the Ruhr, although they may be withdrawn sooner if Paris and Brussels deem it expedient. London—Prime Minister MacDonald of Great Britain saw M. Herriot and urged upon him that he accept a compromise on the time limit for the evacuation of the Ruhr. After the morning conference M. Herriot said: "The allies are with us and we are in complete control of the situation." Chancellor Marx visited M. Herriot at the latter's hotel. It was intimated that that the German chief delegate might have brought with him the German answer on the all-important Ruhr question. At the conclusion of the conference between Premier Herriot and the German chancellor, which lasted nearly an hour, it was announced that there was nothing that could be made public. Chancellor Marx, on leaving the hotel, said: "I am dumb and M. Herriot is dumb, too. New York.—Secretary of State Hughes, returning recently on the President Harding after a month's visit in Europe, expressed the belief that the Dawes reparations report would be accepted by all the powers concerned and would "be put into effect very soon." Mr. Hughes said that in his opinion acceptance of the Dawes plan did not hinge upon the date of the evacuation of the Ruhr, which was reported as having caused a split between the German and French representatives at the London conference. "Acceptance of the report," he said, "will not hinge upon any such hypothesis. Unquestionably the report will be accepted." Referring to dispatches stating that newspapers of soviet Russia had charged that his visit to Europe was solely for the purpose of preventing European countries from entering into relations with the Russian government. Mr. Hughes said: "I did not discuss Russian affairs over there." Mr. Hughes said there was no truth in reports that Myron T. Herrick American ambassador to France, would soon resign. Train Burns Following Wreck Cumberland.—Five tank cars, filled with gasoline and oil, and thirteen carloads of merchandise, together with the Opequon bridge on the main line of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, near Martinsburg, W. Va., were destroyed by fire, following the wreck of a freight train. Fabulous Profits Made in Bonds New York.—Stories of fabulous profits from small investments were being circulated recently when the buyers of last year, who paid $5 for 1,000,000 marks of German war bonds, cashed it at the prevailing quotations of $1,750, a rise of $150 in the past week. Prussian war loans worth $400 per $1,000,000 marks three months ago brought ten times the original sum and other German securities rose in proportion. The rise in general was ascribed to the recent favorable report on the Dawes plan for rehabilitating Germany. Bankruptcy Suit Filed Boulder—Four creditors of the Colorado Alfalfa Milling Company, of which Harry Casaday, state budget and efficiency commissioner, is vice president, and Gov. William E. Sweet, a director, have filed a petition in the United States District Court asking the corporation to be declared bankrupt. The creditors are the Boulder National Bank, Goss & Hutchinson, Boulder attorneys; John A. Mast and George O. Corley, both of Denver. Honolulu Mayor Fined for Assault Honolulu—John H. Wilson, mayor of the city and county of Honolulu, pleaded guilty in court to a charge of assault and battery brought against him by Supervisor Ben Hollinger, and was fined $20 and costs. Mayor Wilson who is a Democrat, was charged with striking Hollinger in the face and knocking him down in a meeting of the board of supervisors August 5 after Hollinger, a Republican, had declared Honolulu was "full of graff."

Paper Currency It has been computed that the cost to the United States of making a $1 bill is about as great as to make a $20 or a $10,000 bill. The expense is 13 cents each. The length of service varies in direct ratio to the value of the note. The $1 bill lasts little more than a year, it is estimated, a $10 bill lasts about four years, while a $10,000 bill obviously, seldom wears out.

Just What Is Beauty? Beauty cannot be described, since what seems beautiful to one may be plain to another. Ben Jonson's "most beautiful face" had to possess simplicity crowned by flowing hair and a sweet neglect; Spenser would have eyes like sapphires, teeth like pearls, and a forehead like ivory; Rogers insisted on archness and mirth. Every lover thinks his girl is beautiful.

E. church and one of the leading Race men of the west was the victim of a brutal and uncalled for assault Tuesday night just as the election returns began to come In. Perhaps the nature of the returns were such as to give heart to the thug who sought no doubt to emphasize his affiliation by a cowardly attack upon a worthy citizen. Rev. Ward while painfully injured views the matter as the truly Christian gentleman that he is, but none the less our people are rightfully indignant over it.

The ground floor will be occupied by the Denver Commercial Department, and general headquarters offices will fill the other seven floors. The Main and Champa exchanges will remain in the telephone building at 1421 Champa street which will practically be given over to traffic purposes. When the first telephone exchange was opened in Denver on February 24, 1879, the company occupied three rooms over a shoe store on the south side of Larimer street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets. The location of the new building about to be opened was strictly a residence district at that time, and there were many vacant lots in the vicinity. In 1879 the company started with a guarantee of 125 subscribers. On the opening day there were about 200 subscribers. At the present time Denver has more than 67,000 stations. The company has kept pace with the growth of the city, continually extending lines so that people living in new sections might have telephones. Not only that, The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company, developed from the infant company of 1879, serves the people of the seven mountain states by means of more than 352,000 stations and 36,000 connecting stations.

Every feature of the affair was a success, from the gayly decorated Armory hall to the splendid Galens orchestra that never appeared to a better advantage. Never was there a more orderly, good natured party given any place. Tourists and visitors from all parts of the country were guests of the association, while our own home people responded in large numbers. The general committee, consisting of Campbell, Cooper, Chapman, Britton, Herndon, Gross and Levell, carefully looked out for the comfort of all, and when the "Home" waltz was sounded all started on the return trip to Denver delighted over the pleasant evening spent in the mountain resort.

STATE MEETING OF COLORED REPUBLICANS LARGELY ATTENDED Geo. W. Gross of Denver Elected President. The Coolidge and Dawes ratification meeting and barbecue given at Colorado Springs last Monday by the El Paso County Colored Republican club was attended by a large number of party leaders from all over the state. Pueblo was especially well represented, its forces being strongly augmented by the attendance of the entire ministerial alliance. In fact the large number of prominent ministers taking part in the proceedings would suggest a new line of political action on the part of Colorado's Negro citizens. The free barbecue served at noon was well arranged and proved ample for all. Following the dinner a program was rendered in the large pavilion at 3 o'clock with William Bell presiding. A state organization was formed with George W. Gross of Denver selected as president. Other officers were: Mrs. Lillie Burton, Denver, vice president; Rev. M. M. Perding of Pueblo, secretary; L. L. Duncan, Colorado Springs, treasurer. The president was empowered to appoint an executive committee consisting of two persons, a man and woman from each county where there is a colored vote. The women voters of the state of whom a large number attended this meeting, were organized into a Republican federation at the instance of Mrs. John Leeming of Denver, who was one of the speakers. Mrs. Lillie Burton of Denver, was elected president. ST.

"THE SPIRIT AND BRIDE SAY COME!!" PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 23rd Ave. and Washington St. Rev. Coyden H. Uggams, D. D. The services of last Sunday were above normal in attendance, business and deep enthusiasm. The Sunday School was very prominent in these features and in the glad welcome of several visitors. Our pastor preached two excellent sermons on "Our Duty in Every Crisis" and "The Universal Reign of Christianity." Before each sermon he briefly remarked upon the approaching mayoral election and impartially advised the people concerning their duties to exercise the ballot, to be free from the government of any racial preduplication and to exercise their suffrage for civic righteousness according to their own honest convictions. The friends are still reporting their financial contributions to the rally of Aug. 3, for which we are exceedingly thankful. Such a beautiful co-operative spirit should always characterize our dispositions for we, all, are brethern in Christ. We are glad to see Mrs. Bessie Hughes sufficiently recovered to be able to direct the affairs of our "Mid-Summer Bazaar." The church is happy to know that Mrs. M. Dawson, one of its most loyal members is steadily convalescing. Mrs. Dawson, who spends each summer on her ranch at Keeline, Wyo., in company with her daughter, was thrown from a buggy in a runaway accident and suffered a broken arm and fact. 1027 Twenty-first St., Denver Office Phone Champa 7914.

Leading Race Musicians Want High Class School Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 7.—Expressing a strong resistance to the translation of Negro spirituals into ragtime and encouraging the use of Negro folk themes as a basis for a modern school of Negro composition, were some of the important things discussed by the delegates at the convention of the National Association of Negro Musicians. These features are said to be the two aims of the men and women who compose them membership of the association. Clarence Cameron White, president of the Association, is a former teacher of violin at the Washington, D. C. Conservatory of Music and in the public schools there. He was educated in Oberlin and spent several years in Europe studying the violin under European masters. SHORTER CHAPEL NOTES The highest outstanding honor belonging to our race is that of the Bishopric. That we have achieved this place through undisputed merit and hold it with credit before the races and religions of the world is not to be gainsaid. The visit of a Negro Bishop into any community is always an opportunity to feel the inspiration of a God given leader. Denver is to have this opportunity this week. Bishop Archibald James Carey, D. D., the newly assigned Bishop over this Fifth District of the African Methodist church is our guest. He is making his first official visit to this section. He preaches at Shorter Chapel at 10:45 Sunday morning and at Campbell Chapel on Sunday evening. These services will give all an opportunity to hear the soul stirring message which comes from his soul to his own people. Bishop Carey is undoubtedly the strongest influence which the church has today in the matters of general interest to our race in this country. He has just returned from both national Republican and Democratic conventions where he headed a race commission under auspices of the African Methodist church laying the pleas and desires of fifteen million Negro Americans before these two great parties. It is really a privilege to know Bishop Carey, as it is a privilege to know Theodore Roosevelt, W. E. Sweet, O. H. Shoup, L. C. Phipps, and Calvin Coofidge. Bishop Carey will be in the state for ten days visiting the various churches and communities. Bishop Carey is accompanied by his youngest son, Archibald James, Jr., who has brought rare distinction to himself and race by winning the interstate oratorical prize of $1,000.00 offered by the combined states of Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Iowa. This contest was limited to high school seniors only, and there were more than 18,000 contestants. Young Carey was the only Negro who waded through the various contests and succeeded in getting into the finals, where he stood undisputed master of the situation. As a special tribute to him, the combined Illinois State Bar Associations banquetted him before a specially called session at Terre Haute, Ind., and this despite the fact that Terre Haute is the hot-bed of the K. K. K. A reception will be given at Shorter Chapel on Monday evening to Bishop Carey and son by the Shorter and Campbell chapels. The public is cordially invited. Both the Bishop and Mr. Carey will speak. Pine Tree Money The silver money coined in Massachusetts in the second half of the Seventeenth century was called "pine tree" money from the device which it bore, a pine tree. It was also known as "Boston" or "Bay" money. 7 Uncle Sam's Mail NEW MAIL TERMINAL BUILDING, CHICAGO Problems of the Postoffice De- partment are Many By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN AVE you seen one of Uncle Sam's railway mail clerks in his nice new gas mask? Well, he isn't pretty, but he has to wear it nowadays to keep up with the times. You see, in that big train robbery not long ago near Chicago the robbers not only had an airplane and four automobiles, nitro-glycerine, dynamite, sawed-off shot- H rums and automatic pistols but also gas masks and gas bombs. So ten or a dozen robbers had an easy time in holding up the 50 mail clerks on a sold mail and express train on the St. Paul and getting away with registered mail containing two millions or so. It was the gas bombs and gas masks that did the business. To be sure, Uncle Sam has caught most of the robbers and got back most of the money, but such things make lots of trouble. And Uncle Sam has plenty of troubles as it is. Just look at the size of his mail business. He's not something like 60,000 post offices—and more being established every day of the year, except Sundays and legal holidays. There are nearly 50,000 workers in the Post Office department and they handle $3,000,000 every year. And Uncle Sam, not being in the business to make money, has all kinds of trouble in making both ends meet. In the fiscal year of 1923, for example, it cost him over $550,000,000 and he took in only about $532,-000,000. And think of the things he has to attend to—stamps and envelopes; newspaper wrappers and postal cards; money orders, foreign and domestic; postal savings banks; first, second and third-class matter and parcel post; airplane, railway, carrier and rural route service and so on. Why, Postmaster General New has just been receiving bids for 11,000,000,000 stamped envelopes and newspaper wrappers. The postal savings banks have about $150,000,000 to the credit of depositors. There are 45,000 rural routes and more than 10,000 or mail routes, the latter involving an aggregate annual travel by automobile and wagon of 85,000,000 miles. Little things like these give a hint of one of Uncle Sam's mail troubles. A thing that keeps Uncle Sam on the jump every minute in his mail business is our increase in population. That was from about 92,000,000 to 106,000,000 in the ten years, 1910-20. And an estimate by the census bureau puts our population on July 1, 1924, at 112,078,611, an increase of about 000,000 in the last four years. And that with restricted immigration! This means more towns, more post office, more letters—more everything. This new estimate of the population also shows that there are now 79 cities having a population of 100,000 or more, as compared with 68 last year. This means that Uncle Sam is hard put to it to keep up with the procession in the large cities. His post office facilities have a way of becoming inadequate over night. Here's an illustration. Years ago he built the great federal building in Chicago, occupying a whole block in the loop. It was to be the last word in post offices—and the massive pile was out of date before it was completed. In other words, Chicago's mail business grew faster than Uncle Sam built. Congressman Britten of Illinois will introduce a bill at the next session of congress to sell the building and site for approximately $22,000,000 and use the money for two modern post offices, one on the South side and one on the West side. Another thing that keeps Uncle Sam awake nights is the incessant, ever-increasing demand for speed and more speed. Time is money, says the adage; it comes pretty near being literally true in the mails. The experts have calculated that the new transcontinental air mail serviceaves anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 a day, representing interest on money transported across the country. Congressman M. Clyde Kelly of Pennsylvania goes so far as to hold that the service, by saving three days, increases our available cash reserve by $150,000,000 each day. He is there, sponsoring a bill in congress greatly increasing its scope. In the meantime requests for air mail service are pouring in on Second Assistant Postmaster General Henderson for air service. Even Alaska wants it. It is no wonder that the Chicago post office was out of date before finished. As the railroads supplanted the stage and pony express in the transportation of the mails, Chicago—because it soon came to be the railroad center of the country—name to be the mail center. Through it now moves the mightiest mass of mail matter that is centralized anywhere on earth. Mail operations quickly outgrew facilities. The situation got so bad in 1919 that a committee of the railway mail service made a thorough study of the operations at Chicago. As a result of this study, the necessary facilities were figured out and a comprehensive scheme of terminal operation was adopted. The plan called for a site conveniently located for both railway mail cars and auto trucks; a building of adequate dimensions and design in which to handle the mail economically; and an extensive application of mechanical apparatus. guns and automatic pistols but also gas masks and gas bombs. So ten or a dozen robbers had an easy time in holding up the 50 mail clerks on a gold mail and express train on the St. Paul and getting away with registered mail containing two millions or so.

The plan called for a site conveniently located for both railway mail cars and auto trucks; a building of adequate dimensions and design in which to handle the mail economically; and an extensive application of mechanical apparatus. The result of all this is that there has just been --- NEW MAIL TERMINAL BUILDING, CHICAGO THE FURNITURE WAREHOUSE completed, as a part of the new Chicago Union station project, a railway mail terminal building which is unique among such structures. It is not only the largest existing building of its sort, being 800 feet long by 75 feet in width, with a height of 6 stories above basement, track level and subbasement, but contains mechanical conveyors and transportation equipment without an equal in the world. This equipment is capable of handling 3,000 tons of mail each 24 hours. A further idea of the magnitude of the operations carried on in this terminal will be gained from the fact that more than 1,000 clerks and porters are employed in the railway mail terminal department alone. Robert H. Moulton, a Chicago writer, thus describes the workings of the new plant, which was visited by mail men from all over the world who are in search of efficiency and speed: The mall terminal building extends from Van Buren to Harrison street, between Canal street on the west and the Chicago river on the east, with a private driveway along the full length on the east side. The building is of the latest fireproof design of steel and concrete, and is furnished throughout with factory-type steel sash to provide the maximum light and ventilation. Its floor capacity is 500,000 square feet. It is of the two-level type and is served by platform tracks on the lower level and a teamway on the street level, the private driveway referred to affording 580 feet of clear tailboard space, or enough for 60 street vehicles at one time. The track level has platform lengths adequate to serve 61 cars, while the basement affords communication, by means of tunnels, with cars at Union station platforms remote from the mall terminal. Perhaps the most notable feature of this terminal is the system of belt conveyors employed in the building. According to the resident engineer who has been in charge of the installation of the mail handling equipment, this system is the largest installation of its kind in the world. It consists of 71 belt conveyors, requiring the use of approximately eight miles of belting; 400 tilting trucks of a special design; 1,200 balanced type trucks of a standard type; and a sufficient number of tractors to handle the trucks effectively throughout the building. In addition to these facilities there are 15 freight elevators, approximately 8 by 18 feet each. The terminal has a variety of functions. One of the most important is the handling of mail received from and delivered to trains at the Union station. This consists primarily of the transfer of mail sacks from street vehicles to mail cars and vice versa. A great part of the operations of the terminal, however, consists in the receipt, classification and dispatch of all papers, catalogues and parcel post mail originating in Chicago, as well as mail of these three classes passing through the city. While the bulk of the material is received in the terminal already weighed and with the postage canceled, a portion of it has not undergone these operations, and to take care of the latter a post office has been provided in the building. Unclassified mail reaching the terminal from the street is received along the middle portion of the private driveway space; that from trains, on the basement or track level. From these two points of receipt it is delivered to the upper floors of the building for the necessary work of classification. Formerly parcel post mail originating in Chicago was sacked and loaded into trucks at business houses and transported to the mail station. From 25 to 30 minutes were required to load a truck and a similar length of time needed to unload it. Under the new system the same work is done in from three to five minutes at each end of the line, thus effecting a saving of close to an hour on each motor truck load. The first step in the system begins at the large business houses or mail order concerns. The mail is loaded into six or eight of the small tilting trucks and the latter are conveyed by a large motor truck to the mail terminal building. Arrived there the tilting trucks are pulled out of the motor truck, coupled together in trains and attached to an electric tractor, which hauls them to a trough or plit, 50 feet long and 45 inches wide, in the floor. A bumper at one side of the plit marks the route for the train of tilting trucks and prevents it from slipping into the plit. As the train passes along, employees tilt each truck and the contents slide to the feed belt there being three feet of space each for 40 men. below. The belt is traveling in the opposite direction from that of the train, and thus it clears each truckload in time to receive the next load. The conveyors are from 50 to 100 feet in length. They travel 40 feet a minute and carry all the precanceled mail going through the building. The width of the belt is 42 inches and it has a carrying capacity of 15 pounds per square foot. This would amount to approximately 25,000 pounds, or $12\frac{1}{2}$ tons per hour. Two main conveyors deliver to inclined conveyors which in turn deliver to two primary separation units on the second and third floors. The separation unit on the third floor, which is 130 feet long, takes care of the mail for the states of Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Ohio. The sorting clerks stand on a platform from extending between the two tiers of belt conveyors, ```markdown ``` UP TO DATE MAIL Clerk @ Henry Miller the feed belt the packages intendent states, and throw them onto specified for those states.

Canvas flares at the sides of the belts prevent packages from going onto the floor, at the same time deflecting packages to belts and breaking their fall. A separation unit on the fourth floor takes care of the belts assigned to the states of Missouri, New York, Kentucky, etc. The primary separation system on this floor has the same number of belts as the system on the third floor, the only difference being that the fourth floor system is 60 feet long whereas the third floor system is 130 feet in length. The final separation and classification of all mall handled by the terminal forces is made at tables on the second, third, fourth and fifth floors, where the mail is placed in sacks and properly marked ready for delivery to the Union station forces on the track floor or the basement, or to the street vehicles on the street floor for delivery to various parts of the city or to other railway stations. Such mail, in sacks, is handled by means of tractor trains which take the sacks direct to mail cars. The movement of the sacked mail from the floors mentioned to the track or street floors is accomplished by carrying the sacks, on balanced type trucks, to holes in the floor leading to longitudinal ceiling conveyors, five to a floor, which extend practically the entire length of the building. The mail is dropped onto the ceiling conveyors through openings, or clutes, in the floors. There are 60 of these clutes, 24 to 30 inches in size, to a floor and they are uniformly spaced. Since it is not desirable to have the mail sacks drop the full vertical distance of 7 feet from the floor level to the ceiling conveyors, the clutes are each given a quarter turn, an arrangement which permits the sacks to slide within three feet of the belts. Each of the 20 ceiling conveyor belts is also connected with one of 5 double spiral clutes placed in different parts of the building. The belting forming the conveyors is made of four thicknesses of canvas, weighing two pounds to the square yard. In splicing the belts flexible metal-lacing is used. The ends of the belts are pulled together by means of clamps and the teeth meshed together with a strip of metal inserted to keep them from pulling apart. The belts travel on rollers of cold-drawn seamless steel tubes which range from $3\frac{1}{2}$ to 5 inches in diameter. This tubing is spot-welded to pressed steel heads that support turned steel shafts $3\frac{1}{4}$ inch in diameter. The shafts are fitted with renewable steel races and there are two roller bearings to each roller. This method of installation has been estimated to save some $15,000 a year Operation of the belts is by means of motordriver double-drive pulleys, the main pulley being 30 inches in diameter and provided with an automatic gravity takeup. The 71 separate conveyor belts are driven by an equal number of motors. Every motor has a control, there being six control boards in all, or 2 to each of three floors. There are lock buttons at every motor, and every 100 feet there are start and stop push buttons. The latter feature is provided in order to prevent the piling up of mail should a section of the train of conveying equipment in advance be shut off. The cost of this system of belt-conveyor transportation alone was half a million dollars. It is the belief of postal authorities that aircraft will soon occupy as important a place in the transmission of mail as railroads and motor trucks. With this idea in mind, provision has been made by which the roof of the new terminal building can be converted into a landing and starting place for airplanes and possibly even dirigibles. A number of foreign governments interested in the possibilities of nerial mail have already requested from the United States full information on this feature of the new station, while others are studying the station as a whole with the idea of installing similar parcel post facilities in their countries. NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Predict South's Control if Davis Wins Predict South's Control if Davis Wins Plan Airplane Service to South America Electric Lamp for Miners Gains Favor Electric Lamp for Miners Gains Favor Maps Eliminated With New Air Compass Maps Eliminated With New Air Compass WASHINGTON. — The South will control congress if the Democrats win in November, according to political prophets who are unusually busy these days in the capital. Although two of the South's favorite sons were given back seats by the Democratic convention, Democratic members of congress from below the Mason and Dixon line are confident of cornering the desirable committee chairmanships if their party comes into power. It is said by some that the control of the South in congress will be even more secure than during the Wilson administration, when the Southern states held most of the positions of influence in the senate and the house. Northern Democrats lost out, it is asserted, when the Harding landslide of 1920, by putting them out of office, deprived the ones who came back in 1922 of their original rank in the seniority list. Representative Rainey of Illinois, for example, would have been in line for the chairmanship of the powerful ways and means committee if he had not been defeated in 1920. Although re-elected in 1922, he is listed eighth among the Democrats PLANS are in the making for an airplane service linking New York with Central and South America, according to Abraham Martinez, director of the Colombian government information bureau. Service at first will be devoted to carrying mail, but it is expected the passenger service eventually will be added, the director says. According to the present plans there will be two lines—one between New York and Buenos Aires, Argentine republic, and the other between New York and Barranquilla in Colombia. The New York-Barranquilla service will connect with the present air line between Barranquilla and the capital of Colombia, Bogota. The latter line has been in existence several years and carries passengers and mall, and is called one of the best in the world. Service between New York and Bogota therefore will be made possible by this connection. The route between New York and Barranquilla will take in New Orleans and go through Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and thence to Barranquilla, which THE old-fashioned flame safety lamp used for illuminating the miner's working place is fast go- ing into the discard, according to the United States bureau of mines, which estimates that about 100,000 electric, cap lamps are now in use. In 1911 approximately 45,000 flame lamps and no electric lamps were being used in the Pennsylvania bituminous mines, which were then producing 35 per cent of all the soft coal mined in this country; by 1918 the flame lamps had decreased to 17,000 whereas electric lamps totaled nearly 48,000. In Great Britain during the same years the total of 723,934 flame lamps decreased to 590,185 and the electric lamps gained rapidly from 4,298 to 156,521. No later reliable figures are at hand. "Though coal was known to the ancients, the earliest mention being credited to Theophratus, a Greek writer, about 371 B. C., the first known record of coal mining was made in England about 1180 A. D.," the bureau of mines points out. "It was at least 600 years later before the safety flame lamp was introduced. At first coal was undoubtedly obtained from outcrops, and mining was done by day- AVIATORS at last have devised a compass which not only is perfectly adapted to air work, but in addition is so advanced in its operation that charts and maps are unnecessary even on long flights. Two army flyers recently sealed up their maps in a tin can, tossed them into their plane at Dayton, Ohio, and started the 575-mile trip to Mitchell field without a thought as to whether there was land, water or cloud beneath them. And they landed at Mitchell field as surely and directly as if they had traveled on rails. The wax seals on the map container were unbroken. The earth inductor compass, as it is called, is the product of the government experimental station at McCook field. One of its originators, Bradley Jones, made the first mapless flight with Lieut. H. C. Downey. On landing he explained the instrument. "Adaptation of the mariner's compass to the airplane has never been a complete success," Mr. Jones said. The steel in the motor would give it an error of as much as twenty degrees. The needle sometimes spins around rutilely. We needed something more dependable and we've got it. The earth inductor compass is placed in the tail, away from the mo on the ticket, and Representative Garner of Texas now is ranking minority member of this committee and will become chairman if the Democrats win. Representative Sabath of Illinois, and who is at the top of the minority list on the immigration committee, is one of the few Northern Democrats who, under seniority rule, will be in line for chairman of an important committee. The present minority leaders of the senate and house, both of whom are from the South, will become majority leaders in the event of Democratic success. Senator Robinson of Arkansas will step into the place of Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, present majority leader of the senate, while Representative Garrett of Tennessee similarly will take over the majority leadership now exercised by Representative Longworth of Ohio, in the house. The appropriations committee in both houses, as important and powerful as any, will be headed by Southerners. Representative Byrns of Tennessee in is line for the chairmanship in the house, while Senator Overman of North Carolina will have the place in the senate. is on the north coast of South America. The New York-Buenos Aires route will go along the coast and over Florida to Key West, whence it will cross to the West Indies, by way of Cuba, Porto Rico, Haiti and other islands. It will touch South America first at Ciudad Bolívar in Venezuela. Then the following countries of South America will be traversed: Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina. In connection with the New York-Buenos Aires route the organizers of the service point out that natural conditions favor its success. Hydroplanes will be used. When the machines leave Key West they sweep around an arc in the Caribbean sea formed by the West Indies. The largest distance between any of these islands is 75 miles, an easy distance. In South America, even though the route lies through its center, there will always be facilities for easy landing in hydroplanes, since the route follows the course of the largest rivers of the continent, the Orinoco, the Amazon and the Parana. light. As the outcrops were worked out, the miners advanced gradually further and further into the coal bed, until the openings became quite extensive and somewhat resembled the small mines of today. "Even the approximate date when lamps or tallow candles were first used in mines is unknown, but some source of artificial light was probably used in metal mines long before coal mining began. Agricola, in a treatise on metal mining published in 1556, gives sketches that show conditions prevailing in his time. "One of these sketches shows a miner carrying a lamp which apparently consisted of a wick dipped in grease or oil of some kind. "Dr. William Reid Clanny was undoubtedly the first to design a closed-flame lamp and the first to build a lamp and to have it actually tested underground in a gaseous atmosphere. His first model was about 1811. George Stephenson made lamps of three distinct models and tested them underground in 1815. The first flame safety lamps devised by Sir Humphry Davy were put in service January, 1816; by the end of that year they were in fairly general use. tor's influence. It is actuated by the earth's magnetic field of force like any other compass, but the difference lies in its use of the known and charted isogenic lines, which are imaginary lines joining places on the earth's surface where the magnetic force of the true north is the same." Mr. Jones pointed to a wall map in the Mitchel field operations office, showing charted lines running south in irregular waves from the magnetic North pole. "We know where these isogonic lines are. They don't change position," he said. "The new compass has two coils on either side of a rotor. Before making a trip the navigator plots out his course by the isogonic lines and then sets his instrument in the relative position to these lines that he wants to travel. Then on the drift indicator he makes his allowance for wind and they set off. Whenever the pilot gets off the set course—that is, gets out of line with the navigator's isogonic route—the field of force in the instrument's coils is cut and current is set up. "This is recorded on a dial in front of the pilot. An index needle that should point straight upward falls to one side and all the pilot has to do is maneuver his plane to right the needle again.

SCARF AND FROCK ENSEMBLE; COLORFUL CHECKS AND STRIPES SCARF AND FROCK ENSEMBLE; COLORFUL CHECKS AND STRIPES THE scarf and frock ensemble is "all the style." To the mode and its clientele this idea of making the scarf of the same material as the dress, is proving of genuine appeal. It is a vogue of fascinating possibilities which appeals alike to professional stylist and home dressmaker as well. The "scarf to match" fashion is charmingly presented in the costume ensemble in the picture. The frock is of printed crepe, rust, navy and white comprising the coloring. The THE CITY OF MADRID THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIES THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Presents the "Scarf to Match" Style scarf ingeniously combines these three shades in the triple border of plain crepe. The insets of narrow and wide lace insertion add to the effectiveness. In many instances the scarf is made to serve in place of sleeves. That is, a scarf matched to the frock is artfully worn so as to "reveal yet conceal" the arm, and thus is the sleeveless gown given new interpretation. The match-scarf frock is exquisitely developed in georgette, this season. Sometimes the entire width of the style details are justable collar.
