Dec. 2 Ligon Scott, the Negro who attacked a young white woman in this county Nov. 22, was burned at the stake on the public square here this afternoon. The Negro, who was arrested at Jackson Saturday, was being taken to Union City by officers when a mod intercepted them and took the Negro. The entire county soon knew of the capture of the fugitive and thousands flocked to town. A trial was arranged for and a jury selected, and the mob was importuned to withhold action until the jury decided his fate The Negro confessed. An iron stake was driven in the ground and the Negrotied to the stake. He was stripped of his clothing and red hot irons applied to all parts of his body. Finally a bonfire was built around him until even the bones were consumed. Camp McClellan. Ala. Thirty colored soldiers, members of the First Separate Company of Maryland, are prisoners in the guard house at the remount depot, charged with refusing to work be fore breakfast. The remount depot is about three miles from the other part of the division camp, between the camp and Anniston. About 70 of the First Separate Co., were sent from the horse section of the ammunition train to serve at this point. Their duties were to look after the horses in the corral and do general stable work. More than ten thousand horses and mules are kept there. The famous Richmond Blues of Virginia, the only cavalry out fit retaining its identity, under recognition is camped there and the Maryland colored men have clashed with these troopers frequently and the strike is the result. The 30 men seem unconcerned about the outcome of the trouble. A communication reaching the Civic and Commercial as sociation from Reed college, at Portland, Ore., announces that Denver has been awarded third place in a study of civic conditions by the departments of economics and sociology of Reed college. Thirty six leading cities in the U.S. have been given consideration with respect to rates of wages, cost of living, death rates, infant mortality rates, proportion of people married, church members, child labor, parks, pavements, fire losses, public properties, library books, teachers' salaries, number of pnpils to a teacher, illiteracy, school attendance, non English speaking foreigners. Apparently on many of these subsets Denver ranks first. A NEGRO DIVISION TO BE A-MONG 1ST TO GO TO FRANCE Washington,D.C.-When the full strength of America's new army arrived on the battle front of France Negro troops will make up approximately one-eleventh of the Negro regiments are officered exclusively by white West Pointers. The following Negro National Guard units are now in the federal service and officered exclusively by Colored officers: First Separate Connecticut company 90 men, 1 officer; First Separate District of Columbia Battalion, 598 men, 11 officers; Eighth Illinois regiment, 1,950 men, 78 officer; First Separate Maryland company, 150 men, 3 officers; Fifteenth New York Infantry regiment, 2053 men, 54 officers; Ohio Ninth Separate Battalion, 1522 men, 48 officers; First Separate Tennesse see company, 112 men, 3 officers; First Separate Massa chusetts company, 150 men, 3 officers. Total, 6,641 men 201 officers. They have just been commissioned from the training camp for Negro officers—106 captains, 320 first lieutenants and 100 second lieutenants. The total training camp and National Guard officers 826—constitutes the present visible supply of Colored officers—except a few holding minor staff position in the regular army. The young Colored men commissioned at Des Moines have won high praise from their instructors and are first class material. Every state in the Union was represented at the camp a large number coming from the southern states. The Negro troops drawn for service are being trained at all of the 16 national army cantonment in separate battalions and regiments. When the training is complete, one, and probably two or three divisions of Negro troops exclusively will be formed, and one of these will be among the first national army units sent to France. Negroes have fought in all American wars from the Revolution to the brush at Carriza. In the Civil War hundreds of thousands were raised and did some fine fighting. There were a few commissioned as officers, but nothing like the number now given command. Sergeant Ward Conley, the only Negro soldiers among six thousand on the Canadian border, has been ordered to Camp Borden as military in st roctor. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DEC. 8, 1917 All Men Up Slowly Wiping Out Cob webs of Prejudice PRESSURE FROM WITHOUT FORCES US CLOSER WITHIN Washington, D. C. —Some eighty three thousand, six hundred (83,600) Negroes have been drafted for service in the National Army to be sent overseas. Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, in working out his plans for the training of these men, has met with many difficulties. First of all, he has had to contend with those friends of the Negro who have felt that it was Secretary Baker's special duty at this time to attempt, to solve or settle the so-called Race Question in America. Second, Negro leaders from all parts of the country have importuned the War Department in various and sundry directions, while the peculiar southern situation, where the masses of the Negroes live, has had to be taken into account. Because of these difficulties, the Secretary of War call-to his aid, on October 1st, 1917, as Special Assistant in the War Department, a representative of the Negro Race, Emmett J. Scott, who, for eighteen years, was Secretary to the late Booker T. Washington, and also Secretary of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, in Alabama. Mr. Scott has a wide acquaintance among members of his own race, and with leading members of the white race in the South, as well as with leaders of thought and public opinion in the North. He has sought to relieve the Secretary, of War, as much as possible, of the burdensome details growing out of controversies involving racial relationships, caused or occasioned by the presence of white and colored draftees together in many of the cantonment. Lately, there has been a certain amount of misgiving and unrest among the colored people of the country who have led to feel, by reason of reports of alleged mistreatment of colored men in cantonments, that there is a disposition on the part of the War Department to deal unfairly with colored draftees in National Army cantonments and in National Guard camps. For the purpose of allaying these suspicions and correcting certain false impressions which have been made and circulated, the Secretary of War has addressed an open letter to his colored Aide, stating his attitude and the policy of the War Deyartment with reference to these colored soldiers. The letter, dated November 30th, 1917, follows: War Department, Washington. Special Assistant, War Department. Referring to various telegrams and letters of protest received at the Department, to which you have called my attention, concerning certain alleged discriminations against colored draftees, I wish to say that a full investigation of the matters complained of has been ordered. As you know, it has been my policy to discourage discrimination against any persons by reason of their race. This policy has been adopted not merely as an fact of justice to all races that go to make up the American people, but also to safeguard the very institutions which we are now at the greatest sacrifice, engaged in defending, and which any racial disorders must endanger. At the same time, there is no intention on the part of War Department to undertake at this time to settle the so-called Race Question. In this hour of national emergency and need, white and colored men alike are being called to defend Our Country's honor. In the very nature of the case some must fight in the trenches, while others must serve in other capacities behind the firing line. I very much regret what seems to be a certain amount of overworked hysteria on the part of some of the complainants who seem to think that only colored draftees are being assigned to duty in Service Battalions, whereas thousands of white draftees already have been, and more of them necessarily will be, assigned to duty in such Service Battalions. Some of the complaints or charges of discrimination seem all the more unwarranted, in view of the fact that there is far less hagard to the lite of the soldier connected with the Service Battalion than is true in the case of the soldier who faces shot and shell on the firing line. Furthermore, the attitude of the War Department toward colored soldiers is clearly shown by the following facts: More than 626 of the 1250 colored men who completed the course at the Reserve Officers Training Camp at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, have been commissioned as officers in the United States Army; nearly 100 colored physicians and surgeons have received commissions as officers in the Medical Reserve Corps, and a full fighting force of 30.000 colored soldiers, including representatives in practically every branch of military service, will constitute the 92nd Division, to be detailed for duty in France under General Pershing. The relations between the colored and white men, in the camps containing both, have been worked out on a very satisfactory basis, and little or no trouble seems likely to arise. All of my reports indicate that the colored men are accepting this as an opportunity to serve and not an occasion for creating discord or trouble, and white men and officers are passing over the question of race difference in a helpful spirit. What we need in this emergency is the help of right thinking people in the cities and towns around the camps, and we are getting that cooperation so generally that our course seems free from embarassment, if German propagandists, who want to make discord by stirring up sensitive feelings, are simply not allowep to do their work. As a matter of fact, the colored people and the white people in this country have lived together now for a good many years and have established relationships in the several parts of the country which are more or less well organized and acquiesced in. Gradually the colored people are acquiring education in the industrial arts, and are rendering themselves more and more useful, in our civilization, and more and more entitled to our respect. On the other hand, the white people are coming more generally to realize the value of the good citizens among the colored people thru their industrial importance and their eager desire to learn and qualify themselves for usefulness in the country, and this has brought about a growth of good feeling marred it is true, here and there, by such incidents as that at Hous ton and that at East St. Louis which grew out of sad misunderstandings, and were per haps contributed to, in at least one of these instances, by the malicious activities of of people who would rejoice to see any embarassment come to us as a sign of weakness against our enemy. Therefore unrest among the colored people and suspicion of the Government on their part are, by all means, to be discouraged at a time like this We are bending all our energies to the building up of FIVE CENTS A COPY. DENVER CITIZEN MAKES GOOD IN TEXAS Prof. J. P. Starks, principal of Fred Douglass Public School has shown a greater enterprise in conducting that school than is common to be found among Afro American teachers. Some time ago, it was mainly through his efforts that the city was induced to build, what is perhaps the best ward school building to be found in the South. Not satisfied with the building and the labor which is to be found in the books of the grades, he at once set a bout acquiring the means to install some useful industries. Accordingly, sewing and cooking were added. To make practical the latter, he began the preparation of a penny lunch for the children, as a result, the gross receipts last year were $890 00. The success of the sewing and cooking departments served to open the eyes of Mr. Starks as to the possibilities of what he chooses to call "the opportunity school school." Today he has induced the city to fully equip a Shoe Repairing Department with a Mr. Chas. Jones, colored, at its head, Thirty boys are being taught. each spending one hour each day. The shoes of school children and other persons will be repaired, at the cost of the material. With this new experiment, it is hoped that while reducing the cost of shoe repairing, a goodly number of boys may go forth prepared to more successfully fight the battle of life. The school authorities of Dallas have won the praise of our people generally for their generosity, and we breathe the hope that the colored children at Fred Douglass school will show a proper appreciation for the advantages here given them for development.—Dallas Express. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad are among the first to install colored men as brakmen. At this writing four men are employed as night switchmen in the Dayton Ohio yards. More will be put to work as soon as the right kind can be obtained. an army to defeat the enemy of democracy and freedom, and the army we are building contains both white and colored men. We are expecting that they will all do their duty and when they have done it they will be alike entitled to the greatitude of their Country. (Signed.) NEWTON D. BAKER, Secretary of War.

The Thanksgiving dinner at the church was a great success. Some of the men of the congregation who had to work that day, but who couldn't see themselves missing the "Feast," prevailed on the ladies in charge to serve a number of them at the building where they were working. It was done to their very great delight, and all voted the dinner as one of the "best ever." The W. M. M.

The Thanksgiving service held at St. Paul's Baptist Church on last Thursday, Nov. 29th, was truly a union service of the two churches. The Grace A. M. E. people were out in large numbers, and the program was evidently one of credit to the community and the occasion: Thanksgiving, by the Pastor, Rev. I. Harrison Wallace. The Governor's Address, by Mrs. Rev. S. R. Maguneiz. The President's Proclamation, by Mrs. Carrie Seymour. The Song Service, by the Union forces of both churches. The masterly Thanksgiving Sermon, delivered by the Rev. Dr. S. R. Maguneiz, pastor of Grace A. M. E. Church, and an offering of $6.00 taken for the needy poor of our town, made everyone feel that there was much to be thankful for. The afternoon was given to appeasing some sharp appetites, and the National bird came in for his usual amount of suffering, regardless of the world's war, or the high cost of living. At 8:30 p. m. the community was treated to a rare and handsome Thanksgiving exercise at Grace A. M. E. Church, where dinner was served, songs, recitations, dialogues, monologues, addresses and re-addresses, and many other good things, indulged in by a crowd which packed the little church almost to suffocation. Trinidad and this community can well afford to congratulate itself for the coming of the pastor, Rev. S. R. Maguneiz, and his very amiable wife and helpmeet. With such team mates as the Revs. Wallace and Maguneiz, Trinidad should expect many good things in the future. Sunday, Dec. 2nd, found the Rev. I. Harrison Wallace on an early Santa Fe train for Raton, N. M., where he was to join with the Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Church in an anniversary service in honor of their beloved and estimable Pastor, Rev. P. P. Mellon, Ph.D., who did such noble work in transforming lives, conducts and habits of his church and people. Rev. Wallace preached at the 11 o'clock hour to a splendid audience, that listened with rapt attention to his discourse from Isa. 55:11.2. Subject, "God's Unfailing Promises." There was a generous expression of appreciation for the helpful lessons taught. Rev. Wallace conducted an afternoon song service in which a major portion were white people of Raton. All were immensely pleased with the services of the day. Sunday being the first Sunday in the month the pastor of St. Paul's Church beat a hasty retreat to Trinidad to be in his own pulpit for the evening communion service. The pastor of Grace A. M. E. chapel is fast getting a grip on things in his field and preparing the way for a new church edifice in the near future. Sunday being a banner day for him; many good things are in store for the A. M. E. people. Trinidad is enloving a splendid season of good weather and prosperity. The Reporter. (Please get us more subscribers in your city—Ed.) Y. W. C. A. NOTES.

Mining is the world’s second greatest industry, agriculture alone being greater. Mining was selected for our co-operative effort and we already have the foundation of a big success. We have taken root aud have had mighty healthy growth. In a short time, measured by weeks, we will be giants. Do you know that CO-OPERATION produces the most profitable results the business world achieves? T suppose you do, you who have stopped long enough to give the matter consideration. We know that al! big business practically co-operates to their advantage. Their organizations are al- most, all practical co-operation. This is the age of co-operation. Never before in the history of the world have the advantages of co- operation been so largely adopted by not only the bigest businesses, but great nations as well. i OPPORTUNITY fh Master of human destinies am I!

Cities and fields I walk; I penetrate Deserts and seas remote, and passing by Hovel and mart and palace, soon or late, I knock unbidden once at every gate. If sleeping, wake! If feasting, rise before I turn away! It is the hour of fate, And they who follow me reach the state Mortals desire, and conquer every foe Save death; but those who doubt or hesitate, Condemned to failure, penury and woe, Seek me in vain and uselessly im- _ plore.

They are traits that should be cultivated. Saving is essential to a comfortable old age, but thrift should not ke confused with miserliness. A sock full of pennies well invested will return several socka full of colin, while if the original savings are hoarded, it will retain its size until eternity, but never take on greater bulk. Courage is-a fit companion. for thrift, and the two working in double harness will attain results that enfther could accomplish alone. ‘The real big men of today are men who have never shrunk from taking a chance. They foresaw the possibilities of a venture, cast timidity aside, invested their savings and drew big rewards, while their timorous grothers kept on saving their pennies, bewailing the “good luck” of the man who dared. : ‘The treasures of the earth would still remain uncovered were it not for the men who were willing to take a chance.

SLOGAN—"STOP LYNCHING AND MOB VIOLENCE BY LAW." For the Eleventh Biennial Meeting of the National Association of Colored Women. The eleventh biennial meeting of the N. A. C. W, will be held in Denver, Colorado, July 8 to 13, 1918. Every officer, superintendent of departments, state president and delegate should present her credentials to the Committee and obtain official badge entitling her to vote as soon after arrival as possible. The Credential Committee, Miss Georgia A. Nugent, Chairman; Mrs. Mary H. Baker, of Wyoming; Mrs. Theresa G. Macon, of Illinois; Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, of North Carolina, and Miss Reberta Dunbar, of Rhode Island, Recording Secretary, will be in session Monday, July 8, from 11 a.m. to 12 m., and from 2 to 5 p.m. The Executive Board, Miss Hallie Q. Brown, Chairman, will hold their first session at 5 p. m., July 8. Mrs. Myrtle Cook, Chairman of Program Committee, has been able to nearly complete a program which covers the newer and more striking phases of work which has been called for, due to the extraordinary time through which we are passing. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Superintendent of Department for Suppression of Lynching and Mob Violence, will have a report of unusual interest to present. The Entertainment Committee are arranging for short trips to Pike's Peak, Colorado Springs, the Garden of the Gods, and also for a mid-day luncheon to be served free to the delegates. The Committee in charge of Transportation has announced rates from the East, through Mrs. Mazle Mosselle Griffin. Mrs. G. A. Ross, of Denver, representing the West, and Mrs. Mabel Keith Howard, of South Carolina, will announce rates for the South. Information concerning board and lodging may be obtained from Mrs. M. E. Dishman, 2439 Glipin Street, Denver, Colorado, General Chairman of Arrangements for Denver. Among the interesting things scheduled will be the burning of the Douglas mortgage, the announcement of the Roll of Honor and the winner of the Special Tablet; also the election of the Board of Trustees to manage the Douglass Home which will pass to the entire control and management of the National Association of Colored Women. The American Colored women should be aroused as never before. to greater activity. New duties will be placed upon our women through the Amendment to the Constitution, which will doubtless become a law at the coming session of Congress. At the smallest calculation, three million Colored women will receive the ballot, which is the greatest power that has been given us since the emancipation, to correct some of the evils that have crushed us. Government ownership of railroads will wipe out the notorious, offensive, undemocratic Jim Crow cars, into which we have been herded during the past twenty years, regardless of rights as American citizens. Just now, a call is coming to you, as thrown across a deep valley. Will you, will you be there? Let the answer come: "We will, we will be there!" All dues and per capita taxes should be in the hands of the National Treasurer, Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson, 548 East Spring Street, Columbus, Ohio, no later than May 30, 1918. MARY B. TALBERT, President.

We were compelled to pay exorbitant prices for bad labor. November alone, running over $200 for the month. We need the subscriptions now due and in the same frank and fearless way we print news, we are appealing to you to send in your subscription money. We need the money justly ours and earned. We do this as we are beginning to launch our campaign for the National Convention of Women's Clubs, and will attempt to keep up with our Soldier boys who sail about Jan. 15th for France.

The Mason's Patriotic entertainment under the leadership of William Russ was an excellent success in every way Manitou Hall was jammed. BIGHEARTED AND BROAD-MINDED WOMEN. This war has shown many vices and many virtues of the American people. Mesdames Ida Kruse McFarlane, and Mrs. Horton Pope, the latter a teacher in D. U., thought enough of our neglected soldier boys, who badly needed sweaters, wristlets, etc., as to go down in their own pockets and out of their earnings willingly shared with the Negro Guardsmen by donating $50 worth of yarn for them to keep warm during this winter. This unexpected and unsolicited show of deep interest in us and ours is nearer to us than passing notice, and we think deeply and keenly with such a degree of appreciation that words fail to aid us in our expression of feelings. Think of what their influence, help and consideration mean to one neglected and indifferently treated. The Denver University students knitted the yarn into useful articles and by now we suppose the boys have them. "Every seed and every bud whispers to us to secure, while the leaf is yet green, that germ which shall live when frosts have destroyed leaf and flower" and again our heart moves us to say, "Small service is true service while it lasts; of humblest friends, bright Creature, scorn not one; the Daisy, by the shadow that it casts, protects the lingering dewdrop from the sun." Negroes send each of these ladies, Mrs. Ida Kruse McFarlane, 1473 Gilpin St., and Mrs. Horton Pope, 1119 Pearl St., a holiday greeting showing your appreciation. We can't honor them nor help them in the world's goods, but we can all love them. May God bless them. The Star gladly announces that through the kind efforts of Rev. N. H. Jeltz, pastor of Cheyenne, Wyo., that Miss Lillian Epperson of that city will handle the Star. WHAT OUR FRIENDS ARE SAYING ABOUT US. Mr. G. G. Ross, Editor "Denver Star." Denver, Colorado. My Dear Mr. Ross: In compliance with your request to write during my recent interview with you, I thought that I would take this opportunity to do so. I have seen the "Star" several times during my stay here and must say that it can easily hold its place with the majority of our Race papers in this section. I am sending with my letter a copy of one of the newspapers from this section. I am sending it because of the fact that the editor, Mr. Josey, seems to know you personally. Camp Grant is indeed a great place, situated a few miles south of Rockford, IL, along the Rock River, it seems as if it is the natural place for such a place to be. There are a number of Colored people in Rockford and they do all in their power to make life worth living for us. Regarding the officers and men of Company "M" 365th Inf. Camp Grant, Ill. the regiments, suffice it to say that they are making untold progress and are surprising the most skeptic, who thought the Negro was an impossible soldier. We have had no friction whatever since being here, in fact, no prejudice has been exercised whatever. I am in charge of the administrative work in our company and needless to say that it is quite a job, as we will soon have our complete 250 men companies. Our company is composed almost entirely of men from Chicago and to some it has been a blessing both physically and morally. Recently a mother visiting her son made the remark, "Oh, how my son is improving." I would like to write more, but as you know, I cannot. I will close, hoping you continued success. Yours truly, CHAS. J. BLACKWOOD, 1st Lieut. Inf. R. C. P. S. Please send me the "Star" for three months and let me know the amount. Camarillooo, Calif., Nov. 2, 1917. Mr. G. G. Ross. Dear Sir: Please find P. O. money order for $2.50 for my year's issue of "The Denver Star." I enjoy reading the Star and feel lost without it, so it is an extreme pleasure for me to remit and encourage the splendid work you are doing and the results that you and yours are gaining, results are what count. Accept my thanks for your good paper. With best wishes, I am, Very truly yours, RAYMOND A. CLARK, Care of A. Camarillo, Camarillo, Calif FOR CHRISTMAS. "There are many men in Camp Funston who, unfortunately, will not eave the camp during any of the holidays, nor have even one Christmas present, unless the people of the surrounding states be a Santa Claus to them and send presents to them here," said Lleut. A. A. Werner, of the statistical office. Lieutenant Werner is in charge of the files and has been looking up the men in camp who have no relatives or homes and he is preparing a list of names, expecting to bring about some sort of Christmas for them. Their Christmas is not going to amount to much unless some of the big-hearted people of the states close by, who are always making life worth while for some one, get to work for the men in Camp Funston. A package from some one would certainly be appreciated by these men, who haven't a relative in the world. COLORED WOMEN-ATTENTION. Our soldiers have never let the old flag fall. Will you?

"And they lived happily ever after," wrote Mildred Newcomb. Then she slammed down her desk, pushed her pompadour back off her forehead and flung herself on the bed in her pretty bedroom. It seemed to her as if she were asleep a long time when the incessant tinkle of the telephone beside her bed aroused her. "Oh, it is you, Mr. Norris?" she answered, very sweetly. "What's that? Pardon me. I didn't quite get what you said. Oh, yes, you have the letter ready. Thank you, so much! Yes. I just finished the last line of it today. I can hardly wait to get your letter and start for Chicago." For the past three years Mildred Newcomb had dabbled in stories. As the only daughter of a prosperous middle West farmer, she had had exceptional educational opportunities. Almost every week since her graduation from the state college she had written some story or other. The editor of the local paper, a very close friend of the family, decided to be brutally frank with her. And so when she handed him one of her literary attempts some months before, he told her the truth: "Miss Mildred, a writer of fiction requires more than a good education. A writer must come down to the people, live their lives, breathe their air. The successful writer must rub shoulder with the great, throbbing humanity of which the world is composed. You know but one kind of people. The people in your world are small people. The men spitting into the community sawdust cuspidor at the general store will tell any stranger who will buy a few cigars or several drinks of soda-pop just what girls have gone wrong in your section. They will tell you eagerly why Doctor Blair lost his license and any other bit of slanderous information you desire. "You don't know women. You know the school girls of your class and you know these extravagant country women whose greatest ambition is to purchase more expensive silk stockings than any other member of the mail order club. When you have had some real rubs with the red-blooded women of this world, write a story, and if I think it a good one, I shall give you a letter of introduction to Mr. Marvin, editor of the New York Chatter. Until then, we'll forget literature." Mildred was just twenty-three. She could not be called a beautiful girl, nor even a pretty one. Her hair was rather straight and of a washed-out brown shade. Her complexion was decidedly sallow. But her excellent grooming and exquisite daintiness made the casual observer think her "a mighty pretty girl." It was almost two weeks after Mr. Norris' comment before anything happened in River county. The Christian Reform club of River county called a special meeting. It seems that somehow or other Red Letter Kate had purchased a ticket for the annual Sunday school excursion. She wore a veil as she boarded the Mississippi excursion boat, and no one recognized her. Everyone thought her "a perfectly respectable woman" until Well, Mildred was on the excursion, too. It wasn't many moments before everyone on the excursion knew their boat had taken fire. Panic seized the pleasure-seekers. Lifeboats were lowered. Lifebelts were torn from their places in the excitement which prevailed. The minister, scarcely recovered from the recent death of his wife, begged God to spare him his little child. He had searched the boat frantically for him until the guards had forced him into a lifeboat. Several heroic men plunged into the river when they had landed on shore, but only to return since they could not get anywhere near the burning vessel. Then a woman tore off her shirt, her shirtwaist and shoes and plunged headlong into the river. On and on she swam, until she disappeared from sight. The good Christians on the shore cried out to God to give her strength. Through the marine glass someone thought she saw a tiny, curly head above a charred board to which the woman seemed to be clinging. Then a woman's form seemed to struggle in the river away from the charred board. The cry of "Have a boat ready to meet her!" echoed down the beach from the little group of spectators. It was shortly after the excursion that the Christian Reform society held a meeting. Some members thought a vote of thanks should be given to Red Letter Kate for saving the life of the minister's son. Others thought that to have such a name inscribed on the sacred minutes of the meeting would be indeed sacrilegious. During the heated discussion the minister stepped into the meeting hall. Followed close behind him was a red-faced woman. She was dressed very simply. Her simple white dress and spotted shoes shredded a lead contrast to the overcast Christian reverence. PHONE MAIN 2701 A.

Make it a real contribution to the food which the children require to meet the needs of their growing bodies and active brains—to satisfy their appetites and keep them in health. These are the suggestions of home economics specialists of the United States department of agriculture, now that millions of the future citizens of the country are again eating their midday meals from box, basket, bag or confectionery shop instead of from the family table under watchful parental eyes. The preparation of luncheons which will fill the needs of the child's body, does not mean the use of more expensive foods or the expenditure of greater effort, the specialists paint out. In many cases both expense and work will be lessened. What is needed for the preparation of more satisfactory lunches is merely that parents and "big sisters," or whoever fills the lunch box, shall inform themselves of certain facts in regard to the choice and combination of foods. The need in many cases is for neither more nor less food, but for the representation of needed food groups. The necessary facts are set out plainly in Farmers' Bulletin 712, "School Lunches." The following suggestions are among those made in the bulletin for well-balanced lunches to be carried to school: 1. Sandwiches with sliced tender meat for filling; baked apple, cookies or a few lumps of sugar. 2. Sliced meat loaf or bean loaf; bread and butter sandwiches, stewed fruit, small frosted cake. 3. Crisp rolls, hollowed out and filled with chopped meat or fish, moistened and seasoned, or mixed with salad dressing, orange, apple, a mixture of sliced fruits or berries, cake. 4. Lettuce or celery sandwiches, cup custard, jelly sandwiches. 5. Cottage cheese and chopped green pepper sandwiches or a pot of cream cheese with bread-and-butter sandwiches, peanut sandwiches, fruit, cake. 6. Hard-bolled eggs, crisp baking powder biscuits, celery or radishes, brown sugar or maple sugar sandwiches. 7. Bottle of milk, thin corn bread and butter, dates, apples. 8. Raisins or nut bread with butter, cheese, orange, maple sugar. 9. Baked bean and lettuce sandwiches, apple sauce, sweet chocolate. Something New Under Sun. Claiming that it holds fish more securely than the usual type of hook, a Norwegian has patented a fishhook with the barb at one side of instead of inside the point. Hoping some day to produce a perfect human race, an Englishman has as a nucleus six children of as many nationalities and will add five more to his colony. For protecting fruit trees from frost an inventor has patented a tent to be placed under them and diffuse through them the heat from a lamp inside the tent. An iceless refrigerator has been invented for automobile tourists or campers, the food container being surrounded by a water bag that is kept cool by evaporation. Time is signaled to vessels in the harbor of Lisbon by two lights which are automatically illuminated five minutes before each hour and extinguished at the hour. The use of a plant growing locally for a roof covering by a farmer in Germany led to the discovery that it produces a fiber that is a fair substitute for jute and hemp. A recently patented chair the back of which can be adjusted at several angles contains a shoe shining outfit in its base and can be converted into a typewriter table. The invention of a machine to grind sea sand, too smooth to be of use in its raw state, has enabled great quantities of it to be utilized in brick manufacture in Virginia. LAST CHANCE!

Peanut Butter Soup.—Take three tablespoonfuls of peanut butter, add a tablespoonful of flour, and stir over the heat until well blended, then add a little cold milk until smooth, and then a pint of scalded milk which has been seasoned with a slice of onion, salt and paprika to taste. When hot serve with toasted crackers or croutons. Peanut Butter Biscuit's.—Roll out rather thin a nice biscuit dough, spread with peanut butter, roll up, cut in pinwheel rolls and put to bake in a well greased dripping pan. Sprinkle the biscuits with a little brown sugar if desired or bake plain. For an emergency sandwich when on a trip, two slabs of sweet chocolate put together with peanut butter makes a most satisfying meal. Luncheon Salad.—A slice of tomato on headlettuce, a few tips of asparagus, and over all a sprinkling of cream cheese put through a sieve or ricer. Serve with mayonnaise dressing. Oatmeal Muffin—Melt four tablespoonfuls of butter in a cupful of warm, cooked oatmeal, sift together if fourth of a cupful of sugar, a cupful of flour, four teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a teaspoonful of salt, add the oatmeal, one egg beaten light, and a half cupful of milk. Mix thoroughly and bake in hot well-buttered iron gem pans for 25 minutes. Orange Jelly.—Cut two oranges and one lemon in quarters, then cut each quarter into thin slices, there will be a pint of fruit, over this pour three pints of water and let stand over night. The next day let it cook until the peel is very tender, then drip through a jelly bag, pressing out all the juice. Add two and a half cupfuls of hot sugar and cook until a jelly is formed. This will make three glasses. Add the peeling to one and a half cupfuls of sugar and a fourth of a cupful of water, simmer until all the sugar is absorbed. This may be used for various puddings and as a garnish as well as a flavor for cake.

My dear Co-Worker: NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN I have good news for you. God is answering our prayers. I appeared before the Rules Committee of the House of Representatives, Friday, August 3rd, and that night Congressman Dyer phoned me that the Committee was wonderfully impressed and had decided to recommend that the Resolution, begging Federal Investigation be taken up by Congress. Now, we must win. God will help us if we help ourselves. Keep at it! WORK! PETITIONS! PETITIONS! PETITIONS are the things that will prove that there is countrywide sentiment and determination back of this demanding that an end be put to mob violence. Now, I will not rest until every Congressman is appealed to to take a stand for justice and protection. Will you get men to sign these Petititions in ink, and you divide the number and send them directly to the members of Congress from your State? Send them to men in the House and in the Senate. See that the work is neatly done so as to reflect the intelligence that there is back of this movement. Tell our people to take pride and pleasure in this. Get influential white friends to sign some of them. Give them the literature and urge them to see their patriotic duty in saving America from mob violence. Get signatures. Every Petition counts. Fill out the inclosed memorandum and send it at once, to me. This memorandum goes to Congressman Dyer. He wants to keep close tab on what is being done by the Colored people themselves. Send each Congressman one of the inclosed tags. Write a very short letter, telling him you know he is going to hear the voice of his fellow countryman, pleading for justice and protection. Make it bristle with patriotism, but make him feel that this country is facing a problem at home that is no less serious than the problem abroad. Work with us in this. Pray with us and we will win.

A very splendid meeting was held on the regular meeting night. November 22, in our hall, 2630 Welton St., a larger number being present than at any previous meeting. This, of course, is an evidence of the growing enthusiasm and loyalty on the part of the members as well as an indication of the special efforts being put forth on the part of our clerk, Mrs. Carrie L. McClain, who has recently been elected to succeed Neighbor James G. Adams, who resigned because of his inability to properly look after the interests of the camp in that office because of his personal duties. In this meeting the local camp paid out a little less than one hundred dollars in sick benefits. This, of course, was a very important feature of the meeting and did but exemplify the true spirit of the order, which is real protection in the time of need. By a unanimous vote, it was decided to hold our regular public annual meeting early in the month of January; the date will be decided upon in our regular meeting of December 27th. It is urgently requested that so far as possible every member be present on this occasion as we desire to have the co-operation of the entire membership to the end that this meeting will be the most successful that we have ever attempted. Of course, the chief object of the meeting will be to further emphasize the benefits of the order and give a special opportunity for those who are not now members to make application on the dispensation rate. All persons who are physically sound and between the ages of sixteen and fifty may become members of the order. Those desiring further information are advised to see Mrs. Carrie L. McClain, 2933 Welton; Mr. G. M. Moore, Room No. 44, Arapahoe Building; Mr. C. N. Pitt, 933 East 23rd Ave.; Mr. T. S. Clinkscale, 2508 Tremont St.; Mr. Harrison Coleman, 769 31st Street, and Mr. L. H. Lightner Telephone, Champa 3382. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. At Elitch's Gardens, Thanksgiving afternoon, before a large and enthusiastic audience, the Colored Y. M. C. A. met the Colored Colorado Battalion in one of the most exciting and aggressive football games of the season. There is much comment and credit due to both teams; the score being a tie, 6 to 6, and when the timekeeper blew the whistle for time up, both teams walked off the field, although well worn out, but rejoicing over the result. In behalf of the Y. M. C. A., Coach Barnett is proud of the team and glad to discuss and explain just how much disadvantage his men had in making such a wonderful showing. Coach Barnett says, "My men were outweighed from 5 to 10 lbs. a man, but with fast aggressive football, three weeks of hard practice, and good team work is responsible for the excellent showing our boys made on the field." Every man on the team was in good physical condition, played brilliant football and deserves credit and mention. Willard Lewis, B. Baker, Allan Catlett and the plucky little center, Robt. Smith, deserves much credit. Lewis making a touchdown from an attempted punt kick by the soldiers. Lewis broke the line and blocked the ball, after which recovering the same secured it and made a touchdown after a 15-yd. run. On the account of the soldier boys' weight, they apparently looked easy winners. Special mention is made of Fisher as star fullback, and Capt. Berry as quarter. Danny Strothers was disabled. The efficient officials were Elbert Robinson, referee; Sergeant Garrett, umpire, and Eddie Plummer, head linesman—By R. E. D. The state of South Australia has, since 1891, erected 29,148 miles of "vermin fences," enough to encircle the globe and with the remnant build a double line of fence along the southern border of the United States. When contracts now running are completed the mileage will be much increased. New South Wales has spent more than $27,000,000 for rabbit extermination and has within its borders 98,000 miles of fence.
