The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The Independent, have been merged into The Denver Star Mrs. Mary L. Elliston, who is very well known in Denver, having resided here for the past twelve years, has success fully passed the examination before the State Board of Medical Examiners, and received her license to practice Chiropody in Colorado. 1. Mrs. Elliston, for the past five years, has been Manager among the Colored People, for the Vivv Company, whose Denver offices are at 607 Mack Building, and her work has been very efficient and highly commended by that Company, a Corporation whose business extends thruout the United States and in many foreign countries. Through the assistance of of Mrs. Fannie Brown, and Dr. Harry Krohn, and a season of close application and hard study on her own part, Mrs. Elliston took the examination and passed with flying colors, her mark having been five points higher than the average. We join her many friends in congratulating her on her achievement, and know that her future as a Chiropodist is bound to be a brilliant and successful one. Dr. B. F. Allen Removed Dr. B. F. Allen, for many years president of the Lincoln Institute at Jefferson City, Mo a job that pays $2,100 per annum, has been removed by the board of regents of that institution, and Prof. J. R E. Lee, former principal of Lincoln High School, Kansas City, Mo., has been elected to the position. Prof. Lee is to take immediate charge of the affairs of the institution, It is sat that the principalship of the Lincoln Institute is unfortunately interwoven with politics, and Dr. Allen was accused of being lukewarm in declaring its political stand. He has been credited with being a Democrat as well as a Republican, and thereby incurred the disfavor of both political parties. Whether he was removed on this account, it is not definitely known. Prof. Lee comes to the institution well recommended and has done a splendid work in Kansas City. He was formerly connected with Tuskegee Institute prior to accepting the principalship at Kansas City. COLORED AMERICAN MERCANTILE COMPANY MAKES ITS INITIAL BOW. The Colored Mercantile Grocery Co., that absorbed and succeeded the Fletcher—Williams Grocery Co. opened its doors last Thursday to a waiting crowd which jammed the store. The manager, Mr. Greene handled the crowd very satisfactory and Saturday found the place still thriving. Mr. Bradshaw is the butcher who handles the knife with almost perfect correctness. So far the Store is having the support of the people from many parts of the city. Fresh vegetables, meats, and all kinds of fruits and mercantile are being kept. If success is to be measured by its initial bow its prosperity for the year is already assured. Resents Insult Of Negro Washington,--On learning that Prof. Kelley Miller had been denied privilege of riding in the elevator of the Raleigh Hotel here, when he called to see Mrs. Howard Gould when he was here recently, she immediately gave up her expensive suite at that hotel. COLORED MECHANIC SOLVES WONDER- GUN PROBLEM Had the United States government accepted a design offered it two years ago by Mr. Thomas W. Harold, Colored, of Portsmouth, General Pershing might now have a gun "over there" capable of throwing a shell ninety miles. The Ledger-Dispatch of March 27th contained the following account of Mr. Harold's gun: "In connection with the 'mystery gun' with which the Germans are bombarding Par is at a distance of over seventy miles, Thomas W. Harold, Colored, an automobile mechanic at Godwin and Colum bia streets has drawings of a gun offered the government, which he claims will carry a shell over ninety miles. "Harold made his drawing while employed as a mechanic in the Cadillac works at Detroit. His plan calls for a tungsten shell, and a peculiar system of rifling the bore of the gun, which insures absolute rotation as the shell leaves the gun. As seen at the muzzle, the gun bore look somewhat like a Maltese cross. "Harold claims that with his gun Havana could be bom barded from Key West, distant ninety-five miles away. The plans he submitted to the government were refused, but Harold believes that the German gun embodies some of his principles, if not his gun in toto." Plant your gardens and help win the war.

APRIL 13, 1918 There was never such a test of our womanhood in our melting pot of finance, food conservation, ability and prejudice going on in the development of our Y W. C. A. as is being experienced now in the war work. Under a million miniature snowdrifts on hat brims, umbrellas and shoulders the world stood watching recently its men march down Fifth Avenue, New York City on Washington's birthday. European, Asian, black and white watched their sons, everyone an American that swung in a line which will never meet defeat. Knitting, purling, thinking the colored girls of America, especially those in Y. W. C. A. dwell with pride on their own batallion of Americans that marched that day. Black and white, we move to the same impulses, we serve the same God, speak the same language, breathe the same air, drink the water and cheerish the same traditions and it is no wonder that Y. W. C. A. girls, who having been fired with the ardent desire to do something of real value to help the Y.W.C. A., musially in Denver at the same time develop themselves set about to do the unusual thing by singing their ambitious soulful bringing and worthy aspirations into the hearts of our 1 Denver folk. The Star is proud of and cannot give too much credit to Mrs. Jennie Hicks-LeNoir in her tireless efforts in making the Phillis Wheatley Branch of the local Y.W.C.A. one of the proudest accessories to our local Christian Society. The white press, the pulpit and laymen from all parts of the city are daily calling for, the song services of our quartet, thru their leader and teacher Mrs. LeNoir. We print herewith and show hereunder some facts and a picture of five young ladies whom all Denver loves to recognize and do honor. The Y. W. C. A. Double Quartett is composed of the following young ladies:—Mesdames Jennie Hicks-LeNoir, Adah Clement, Margaret Morrison, Vernel Barnett, Alberta Moore, Misses Bettina Jackson, Naomia Brown, Mable Cole and Mrs. Leona Bray, Accompanist. Mrs. Bray is a very efficient accompanist, having secured her musical training at Fisk University and the brilliant manner in which she plays this difficult cantata, shows her great ability. Under the direction of Mrs. Jennie LeNoir, who was the prima dona with the famous Fisk Jubilee Singers last season, this concert promises to be a grand treat in that it brings out some of Denvers' hidden talent in the way of instrumental and vocal solos, duetts, etc. The first part of the program will be an hour with the Negro composers, Harry T. Burleigh Rosamond Johnson and Coleridge Taylor. The second part will be that most difficult cantata: I. The Sleeping Palace. Everyone at the banquet leeps until a hundred years pass. II. The Sleeping Beauty. The Sleeing Beauty lives on her couch a perfect form in perfect rest. She sleeps; her breathings are not heard. III. The Arrival. The fairy Prince, with joyful eyes, arrives and gazes on the silent dead. He finds the Sleeping Beauty, he stoops to kiss her. "Love, if thy tresses be so dark, how dark those hidden eyes must be!" IV. The Revival. A sudden hubbub shook the hall! There rose a noise of striking clocks, the doors banged, the dogs barked, the cocks crowed, a full light illumined all! Everyone begins to revive and last of all the king awoke, 'we have slept my lords, my beard has grown into mp lap.' V The Departure, and on her lovers arm she leant, the Prince and Princess went far across the hills into that new world which is the old adage. I'd sleep another hundred years, O Love, for such another kiss.' The Princess replies; 'O seek my father's court with me, for there are greater wonders there' And er the hills, and far away beyond the night and across the day, thru all the world she followed him NO. 1.

New York City.—A great deal of comment has been caused by Mrs. Howard Gould's enthusiastic advocacy of the election of the Rev. Beverdy Ransom in the recent New York campaign for congress. This noted woman of culture, wealth and refinement, who is an active suffragist, made speeches for Dr. Ransom and urged the Colored people to stand unitedly be hind him. Dr. Ransom did not receive enough signatures because of his late entry into the campaign, to have his name placed upon the regular ballot. He, however, ran in dependently and his name having to be written in, he received only 500 votes. Mrs. Gould's appearance and earnest speech at a mass meeting in Zion Church, on the eve of the election, in favor of Dr. Ransom's candidacy created quite a sensation. Interviewed by a reporter Mrs. Gould made the following statement: "I am afraid I can hardly explain in terms that will carry conviction. Frankly, I merely acted in accord with the deepest and most sincere promptings of my conscience. When I tell you that I am a Southern woman, a Clemmons of Clemmonsville, N. C., you will understand that I have no theories of race equality to exploit. "I want to see the Negro in America get simple justice and opportunity to develop all his people for good and useful citizens, for in my mind the blackest pages of national history is our treatment to our citizens of African descent. It sickens me to the soul to read frightsul accounts of Negro lynchings in the South for sup posed offenses which a white man man might commit with impunity. "I have watched with a sad heart the suppression of Negro men and women in the Southern states, and in many instances my recent visit to certain sections of the South brought tears to my eyes. The lack of educational opportunities and the scant political recognition is no less than apalling. I do believe that the Negro's only hope in gaining full citizenship and recognition as a man rests in his political representation through the members of his own race This is no large task, if they would only realize their power, co-operate and concentrate their efforts in a common cause. I am aware of this defect, and it is my aim to lend every aid, influence and effort in securing their rights, and to create a true feeling of democracy for the lyrge mass of people. The Negro is such an elementary part of our daily life that there can be no excuse for overlooking his welfare." Mrs. Gould said she did not know the candidate at all well. She had first seen a statement of his platform and had been impressed with the fairness of the demands of a section where there are more Negroes than anywhere else in like area in the world for Mrs. Gould continued; "As I have said before, it sickens me to the soul to read of frightful accounts of Negro lynchings in the South for supposed offenses which a white man might commit with impunity. "It if worth remembering that the bogy of racial equality has two sides to it. In my studies of the problem, and I have lived in the South and known it as only a Soutnerner can, I have found that there are more white men ready to break down race lines and cohabit with black women that there are black women desirous of living with white men." "I see no reason why the South should not give the Coored children equal advantage to acquire an education as the white children. It is a shortsighted policy to follow any other plah if our country is to be raised to its highest power."—Argus. New York Passes Civil·Rights Bill Albany,—The State Senate yesterday overwhelmingly ratified the measure recently introduced into the Legislature by Assemblyman E. A. Johnson amending the Levy Civil Rights Bill so as to include saloons and all other public places within the meaning of the law. The Court of Appeals recently decided that a saloon was not a place of public accommodation within the meaning of the law. The bill as now passed for bids all race discrimination in all public places. The measure was fathered in the Senate by Senator Albert Ottinger. It is now up to Governor Whitman to sign before it be comes a law. Lorain, O.—Professor W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the "Crisis," probably the most in intellectual among living Negro leaders, spoke at the afternoon services of the First Congregational church Sunday week.

California's Weeping Trees. California has but two species of native trees that are normally of weeping habit. One is Quercus lobata, the valley oak, having its most southerly range near Burbank.

The blossom itself is urn-shaped and segmented into five small teeth. The fruit is, of course, the familiar red, globular berry. Aborigines of Australia For the protection of the aboriginal Australian race there are institutions under the supervision of aboriginal boards, where the blacks are housed and encouraged to work, the children receiving elementary education. The work is usually carried on at mission stations, but many of the natives are nomadic in habit of life, and receive food and clothing when they call, while others but rarely come under the notice of the boards. Flake's Admiration for Darwin. The biography of John Fiske contains this comment in one of his letters from England: "Darwin is the dearest, sweetest, loveliest old grandpa that ever was. And, on the whole, he impresses me with his strength more than any man I have yet seen. There is a charming kind of quiet strength about him and about everything he does. He is not burning and eager like Huxley. He has a mild blue eye and is the gentlest of gentle old fellows. . . . None of these men seem to know how great they are. But Darwin is one of the most modest men I ever saw."

GROCERS HELP IN 50-50 PLAN POST CARDS IN STORES. Explain New Wheat Ruling to Thousands of Customers—Insures Greater Food Saving. Grocers of the nation have accepted enthusiastically the 50-50 basis for the purchase of wheat flour and are doing their utmost to explain the new regulation to the housewife. This ruling by the U. S. Food Administration requires each purchaser of wheat flour to buy one pound of cereal substitute, one kind or assorted, for every pound of wheat flour. It was necessary to restrict the use of wheat flour in order that the allies and our fighting forces abroad might be assured of an adequate supply of wheat to meet their vital needs. This supply must come from our savings because we have already sent our normal surplus. Wheat saving pledge cards were forwarded by the Food Administration to all retail food merchants, and these are being signed and posted in stores throughout the country. This card states, "We pledge ourselves loyally to carry out the Food Administration program. In accordance with this order we will not sell any wheat flour except where the purchaser buys an equal weight of one or more of the following, a greater use of which in the home will save wheat: "Cornmeal, corn flour, edible corn starch, hominy, corn grits, barley flour, potato flour, sweet potato flour, soy bean flour, fetirita flour and meals, rice, rice flour, oatmeal, rolled oats and buckwheat flour." Some confusion has resulted on the part of the consumer in construing this "50-50" ruling to mean that an equal amount in value of substitutes must be purchased with wheat flour. This is a mistaken idea. The ruling states that the consumer in purchasing flour shall "buy at the same time an equal weight of other cereals." One exception to this ruling is concerning graham flour and whole wheat flour, which may be sold at the ratio of three pounds to five pounds of wheat flour. This provision is made because approximately 25 per cent. more of the wheat berry is used in the manufacture of these flours than standard wheat flour. Another exception is that concerning mixed flours containing less than 50 per cent. of wheat flour, which may be sold without substitutes. Retailers, however, are forbidden to sell mixed # DEPT. SYNOPSIS OF STATEMENT FOR 1917 AND COPIES OF SERTIFI- ED PUBLICATIONS U. S. BRANCE OF THE PRUSSIAN LIFE AND ASSOCIATION, BRIGALIA, GERMANY. flours containing more than 50 per cent, of wheat flour to any person unless the amount of wheat flour substitutes sold is sufficient to make the total amount of substitutes, including those mixed in flours, equal to the total amount in wheat flour in the mixed flour. For instance, if any mixed flour is purchased containing 60 per cent, wheat flour and 40 per cent, substitutes it is necessary that an additional 20 per cent, of substitutes be purchased. This brings it to the basis of one pound of substitutes for each pound of wheat flour. A special exemption may be granted upon application in the case of specially prepared infants' and invalids' food containing flour where the necessity is shown. Some misunderstanding seems to exist on the part of consumers in assuming that with the purchase of wheat flour one must confine the additional 50 per cent. purchase to one of the substitutes. This is not the case. One may select from the entire range of substitutes a sufficient amount of each to bring the total weight of all substitutes equal to the weight of the wheat flour purchased. For instance, if a purchase of 24 pounds of wheat flour is made a range of substitutes may be selected as follows: Cornmeal, 8 pounds; corn grits, 4 pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buckwheat, 2 pounds; corn starch, 1 pound; hominy, 2 pounds; rolled oats, 8 pounds. These substitutes may be used in the following manner: Cornmeal, 8 Pounds.—Corn bread, no flour; corn muffins or spoon bread, one-fourth flour or one-third rice or one-third hominy; 20 per cent. substitutes in whole bread. Corn Starch, 1 Pound.—Thickening gravy, making custard, one-third substitute in cake. Corn Grits, 4 Pounds.—Fried like mush, used with meal in making corn bread. Rolled Oats, 3 Pounds.—One-fourth to one-third substitutes in bread, one-half substitute in muffins; breakfast porridge, use freely; oatmeal cookies, oatmeal soup. Buckwheat Flour, 2 Pounds.—One-fourth substitute in bread, buckwheat cakes. Hominy, 2 Pounds.—Bolled for dinner, baked for dinner, with cheese sauce. Rice, 4 Pounds.—One-fourth substitute in wheat bread, one-third substitute in corn bread, rolled for dinner (a bread cut), as a breakfast food, to thicken soups, rice pudding instead of cake or ple, rice batter cakes. Several grocers have stated that their customers who strictly observe the 11 wheatless meals each week find it necessary to buy substitutes in addition to those ordered under the 50-50 plan. COLORADO MAKES FINE RECORD. The following statement has been sent by the National Food Administration at Washington, to state hotel chairmen throughout the country: "In the State of Colorado, where the Hotel Division is thoroughly organized, and where reports are made up each month and sent to the Hotel Division of the Food Administration, the saving in meals during the month of February show an increase of about 57 per cent over the January savings; wheat flour savings show an increase of more than 75 per cent, and sugar more than 28 per cent. "Is your State doing as well as Colorado "If it is, we know it and congratulate you. "If it isn't, Why?" The Spiritual Attitude Nothing is so important as the formation of spiritual habits.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN Best Investment in the World ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS REACH LARGE TOTAL A general idea of the quantity of food sent to European allies by the United States from July 1, 1914, to January 1, 1918, is given by figures just announced by the U. S. Food Administration. In that period the United States has furnished complete yearly rations for 57,100,983 people. In addition there was enough extra protein to supply this portion of the diet for 22,104,570 additional men. The total export of wheat and wheat flour to the three principal allies is equivalent to about 384,000,000 bushels. Pork exports for the 3½ years amounted to almost 2,000,000,000 pounds. Exports of fresh beef totaled 443,484,400 pounds. The amount of food exported to Russia is negligible compared with that sent to the western allies. ONLY AMERICA CAN HELP. "On your side are boundless supplies of men, food, and material; on this side a boundless demand for their help. "Our men are war-weary and their nerves have been strained by more than three years of hard, relentless toll. "Our position is critical, particularly until the next harvest, but the United States can save us. "You Americans have the men, the skill, and the material to save the allied cause." SIR JOSEPH MACLAY. British Shipping Controller. AMERICAN MOTHERS USE SUBSTITUTES TO HELP WIN THE WAR The "Old Aunt Mary" of James Whitcomb Riley lives only in memories, but all over Colorado there are other "Old Aunt Marys," other "Mother o' Mine's" who are helping, by saving, by substituting in their own kitchens to win the war. When America was forced into the war of the world President Wilson realized that there were three elements essential to win a complete and lasting victory—men, money and food. America's youth is furnishing the men and making a well equipped, organized, trained army ready to fight for the safety of its country until the last round of ammunition has been fired and peace has come. America's men, too old to fight but not too old to carry on the work of the world, are furnishing the money—money enough for America and a little extra for the financial needs of the allies—money obtained by income taxes, liberty bonds and war savings certificates. And America's women, under the guidance of United States Food Administrator Herbert D. Hoover, are assuming the burden of food saving. The mothers of the nation have been called to help save meat, wheat, sugar, fats—those vital, compact foods which will ship "over there" and which can be stored until they are needed by the American army overseas and the army of the allies. There is only one way to save these vital foodstuffs for our soldiers, and that is by using substitutes which are plentiful, easily obtained and which furnish to the great army behind the lines, including you and you—all the essential food elements, and which cannot be shipped abroad. All bakeries have been ordered by the Food Administration to use twenty-five per cent of corn flour, corn meal, barley flour, barley meal, oat meal, rice or other substitutes in all the bread and rolls that they make. The administration has also ordered that every retailer who sells wheat flour must sell an equal amount—in weight—of substitutes for wheat. These substitutes are many. They include corn flour, corn meal, edible corn starch, hominy, corn grits, barley flour, rolled oats, oatmeal, rice, rice flour, potato flour, milo, kaffir, soya bean flour, peanut flour, and other similar flours which cannot be purchased in Colorado at the present time. "The women of the nation are already earnestly seeking to do their part in this, our great struggle for the maintenance of our national ideals," wrote President Wilson in a letter to Herbert Hoover, "and in no direction can they so greatly assist as by enlisting in the service of the Food Administration and cheerfully accepting its direction and advice." It is to the women that America naturally looks for help in increasing the surplus of food available for our army and for exports to the allies; to them must come the duty of eliminating waste and observing strict economy in consumption so that our soldiers and the soldiers of the allies may be fed. It is the women who purchase and handle the food of the nation, who must make the food saving campaign successful by the use of substitutes. Mothers of Colorado have not failed their country. They have saved, have compiled with the requests of the food administrator in regard to foods, but to some women who have been accustomed to use all kinds of food at all times, the use of substitutes is often very difficult. Because this newspaper has realized this difficulty, arrangements have been made with the Colorado Food Administration, to have Sarah Stone, who knows the whys and wherefores of food saving and the ways and means of substituting, furnish tested substitute recipes, answer any questions which may be troubling housewives.

First Mortgage or other gilt-edged security Colored American Loan frankieisle PHOTO-ENGRAVING ELECTROTYPING RICHARD OLBOLDT successor THE PIONEER FIRM OF COLORADO THE LIVE WIRE HOUSE TODAY Colonial Quotations Fit Present Days. Words of Famous Americans Seem to Show They Foresaw the Liberty Loan. George Washington—"It is an old maxim that the surest way to make a good peace is to be prepared for war." Thomas Jefferson—"Weakness provokes insult and injury, while a condition to punish it often prevents it." Benjamin Franklin—"We must indeed all hang together or, most assuredly, we will all hang separately." James Monroe—"A defenseless position and a distinguished love of peace are the surest invitations to war." Andrew Jackson—"We shall more certainly preserve peace when it is well understood that we are prepared for war." Robert Morris—"The enemy will ask for peace only when we are in a position vigorously to prosecute war." Liberty Loans of Other Days. Robert Morris, Superintendent of Finance in the American Revolution, in a circular to the governors of the states on October 19, 1781, wrote: "It is not by the brilliant successes of war, the splendor of conquest or the shouts of victory that a wise ministry are to be affected. The superiority of national resources is the sure ground on which to hope for success, and that superior resource, steadily and perseveringly applied, must eventually attain its object. "It is possible that we are near the close of this war, and perhaps we are only in the middle of it. But if the war should continue, we have to blame ourselves; for were these resources called into action which we really possess, the foreign enemies would soon lose all hope and abandon their enterprise. "If we do our duty now the war will soon be brought to a close; if not, it may last for many years, and what will then be its termination it is not in our wisdom to foresee. The enemy will ask for peace only when we are in a condition vigorously to prosecute the war. "It is necessary that we should be in condition to prosecute the war with ease before we can expect to lay down our arms with security, before we can treat of peace honorably, and before we can conclude it with advantage. "Between opposition and submission there is no middle line. The idea of submission is, and ever ought to be, rejected with disdain. Opposition, therefore, becomes a matter of necessity, and that opposition involves expense. "It remains only to provide men and money, and to make that provision as early as possible, for the old adage that 'he who gives early doubles thereby his gift,' can never be more applicable than on the present occasion. For whatever may be the different opinions of different men, all must agree that the only way to secure peace is to be prepared for war." Our Fathers' Influence. As if to conclude the argument that we, of today, should heed the wisdom of our forefathers, that other great American, Abraham Lincoln, said: "I do not mean to say we are bound to follow implicitly in whatever our fathers did. To do so would be to discard all the lights of current experience—to reject all progress, all improvement. What I do say is that if we would supplant the opinions and policy of our fathers in any case, we should do so upon evidence so conclusive, and argument so clear that even their great authority, fairly considered and weighed, cannot stand." With these words of great Americans fresh in the mind who can say that the subscribing, and moreover, the over-subscribing of the Third Liberty Loan is not the most important thing in all America today. True Humility. You cannot become humble by reminding people constantly, like Uriah Heap, of your humility; similarly you cannot become simple by doing elaborately, and making a parade of doing, the things that the simple man would do without thinking about them.—A. C. Benson. Power in Silence. A man who lives right, and is right, has more power in his silence than another man by his words.—Phillips Brooks.

To hear his ser mons each evening will be beneficial and will prove a spiritual tonic for everyone. Come and bring an un- saved friend. You are welcome. Bach service was largely attended last Sunday. The morning text, “For we must all appear before the judg- ment seat of Christ; that everyone may receive the things done in his body according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.”—Il Cor. 2:10, The pastor said in part, that he was glad that it is before the “judgment seat of Christ” all must appear—that before the judgment seat evidences are brought up and justice meted out—where the searchlight Is turned on, or the Xray of justice fs timed into a life, bringing to the surface past deeds. Human argu: ments are nothing; the grounds of our righteous conduct sinking sand. One drop of the blood of Jesus outweighs all. ‘The discussion was a forceful one. Yext was a portion of Luke 14 and 37 «Come, for all things are now ready.” ‘added to the church: sisters Hattls Pinket, Mattie Lewis, Dr. Morgan Bee vil during the evening services. Mr. George Mathews confessed Christ for baptism, Those baptized were: Ger aldine Link and Earl Pennington. Communion was administered Sun day evening.

This he attributed to several causes, among them being the lack of knowledge governing business, a lack of an appreciation of the laws of competition, and a lack of patron: age on the part of his own people, even when they can receive identically the same article and at the same price at a colored place of busiiess. Mr May, special recruiting secretary of the American Woodmen, responded to the address. He admitted that some of the causes mentioned by Mr. sgt were true, but held that these things were being constantly overcome by the patient and ambitious business colored men.

The pink boll worm, the worst enemy known to the cotton crop of India, probably originated there. Later it was found in Burma, Ceylon, Egypt and in almost every other cotton district on the globe. “Spoonerisms.” A “spoonerism” is a turned-around word.

Triumph of Engineering. One of the greatest engineering pro}: ects of the world, the Suez canal, was formally opened 48 years ago. The canal cost $100,000,000. The festival given by the khedive in commemora- tion of the opening of the canal cost $23,000,000, or a fourth as much as the canal. Cairo was gaily decked for the event, which was attended by the em- peror of Austria, the empress of France, and many other high person ages. The engineering work of the ca- nal was under the direction of the great French engineer, De Lesseps.

Meat Supply Ea en larged — Food Administration, 4 However, Warns Against Waste, a increased Gemands for Dbreadstults, these enlarged demands being caused to some degree by shortage in arrivals from the Argentine. It Is, therefore, necessary for the U. 8. Food Adminis. tration to urge a still further reduction {n the consumption of bread and bread. stuffs generally if we are to meet our export necessities. The Food Admin- istration hos issued a statement ex- plaining the situation in detail, partic- ularly the reasons which lead it, for the purpose of centering effort for the time being upon the cereal situation to relax temporarily the restrictions on meat consumption, Experience shows, this statement says, that the consumption of bread- stuffs is intimately associated with the consumption of meat. For various reasons our supplies of meat for the next two or three months are consid- erably enlarged, and we can supply the allles with all of the meat products which transportaticn facilities render possible and at the same time some- what increase our own consumption, In these circumstances the Food Ad- ministration considers it wise to relax the voluntary restrictions on meat con- sumption to some extent with a view to furtber decreasing bread consump- tion, Conservation of food must be ad- Justed to meet necessities from time to time, for neither production, nor al- led demands are constant factors, nor can any of these factors be anticipated for long periods In advance in the dis- turbed conditions in which we at pres- ent live, While the world situation ts not one that warrants any relaxation in the efforts to elliminate waste or to relax economy in food, the Adminis- tration desires to secure better adjust ment In food balances, So long as the present conditions continue the only special restrictions we ask are the beefless and porkless Tuesday. The meatless meal and the porkless Saturday are no longer asked, The farmers of the United States are responding to the national call to Increase hog production, Their in- crease, to sll appearances, Is being at- tained more rapidly. Of more imme- diate Importance, however, are several complex factors which have effected an immediate increase in meat sup- piles. The transportation shortage before the government took over the rall- roads, the bad weather in January and early in February, the large percent- age of Immature corn in the last har- vest and the necessity of feeding this corn as rapidly as possible to save it from decay, have not only resulted in backing up the animals—particularly hogs—on the farms for a longer pe- riod of feeding, but have resulted in a great increase in their average weight and will result, with tmproved trans- portation conditions, which already ap- pear, in larger than normal arrivals at market for the next two or three months. The weight of hogs coming to the market for the past two weeks Indicates an increase in welght of from an average of 203 pounds Inst year to the almost unprecedented average of 282 pounds, or a net in- crease in their meat value of over 15 per cent. ‘This ts a distinct addition to the nation's meat supply. It there- fore now seems certain that we have such enlarged maples! foe at Tenet some months to cole, that we can not only increase our exports to the allies to the full extent of thelr transporte- tion facilities, but at the same time can properly increase our domestic consumption, ‘The response of the public to our re queria for reduced consumption of meat during the past few months has been most, gratifying, and this service alone has enabled the government dur- ing this period to provide such sup- plies as transportation to the allies permitted. The Administration also suggests that In those parts of the country where the old fashioned home preser- vation of pork is still the custom, this practice should be extended at the Present time, as it will relieve the bur ‘den upon transportation to and from the packing houses and fs economical- ly sound as saving the'cost of packing operations and at the same time will Provide home supplies of pork to last over the months of decreased supplies. *The Food Administration desires to repeat that it does not want to give the impression that these are times when simplicity and moderation-of liv. {ug are not critically necessary, but that Its sole desire 1s to secure an ad- Justment between our different food supplies and meet chanying conditions from time to time and to keep the pub- Me fully and frankly advised of its position with the full confidence and CHURCH DIRECTORY.

Truthful Aphorism In a catalogue of aphorisms in a newspaper we find this: "A woman's smile is more dangerous than her frown."

Beyond Comprehension. Kant, whose searching analysis of the pure reason, probed deeper than any philosopher before him into the mystery of consciousness, confessed that two things filled him with awe, as beyond the faculty of the human mind to grasp—the immensity of the starry heavens, and the moral sense implanted in the soul of man. Believing Our Minds What passes for reasoning on most occasions is a series of vocal sounds which serve—to use a phrase at once popular and scientific—to relieve our minds. Arguments employed in political addresses, sermons, and newspaper editorials are commonly little more than mere ejaculations, called forth by feelings of approval or disapproval, comfort or alarm. James H. Robinson, in Atlantic. Flying Grasshoppers. A species of grasshopper known to be capable of flying great distances is at times found far from land. The bureau of entomology recently received one of these insects which had been captured at sea, 12,000 miles from the African coast. The specimen was caught on the deck of a Norwegian vessel, and was one of a great swarm of the insects encountered in that region. Esquimaux Own Land In Common. There is no suffrage question among the Esquimaux—the woman owns the igloo with the man and has equal voice in the council meetings. And there are no vexatious questions about property rights to settle, because besides the igloo and personal belongings there is no property. The Esquimaux cannot conceive of land as belonging to any one person. When told how it is held as private property in the states, they showed great surprise and one old man asked if the white men also divided the oceans in the same way.—World's Outlook. ABYSSINIA STILL HAS COPTIC RULE That the war has affected even the old kingdom of Abyssinia is shown by the story of the revolution several months ago. The disturbance not only resulted in favor of the Allies, but keeps control of the government in Christian hands. The young Emperor Lij Yasu became a Moslem, it is alleged, under German influence. Notwithstanding the discontent aroused among the Abyssinian princes by the apostacy and liberism of the Emperor, he managed to maintain himself in power by the aid of the Mohammedan tribes on the eastern border and by moving the capital of the Empire from Addis Abeba to Harrar. Ras Rafari, Governor of the Province of Harrar—a son of the famous Ras Makonnen—whom Lij Yasu had tried to put out of the way, placed himself at the head of the opposition, which was composed of all the ministers and native princes, and he proposed the dethronement of the Negus—as the Emperor is called. On the national feast-day the supreme head of the national church, the Abuno Matheos, solemnly released the Abyssinian nation from its oath of allegiance, and declared Lij Yasu deposed from the throne. Amid scenes of much popular enthusiasm, he proclaimed a Empress, Zaouditou, younger daughter of the late Emperor Menelik II. and installed as Regent and heir to the throne Ras Rafari. A tentative rebellion was promptly suppressed, some thirty chiefs were put to death, others were thrown into prison, and order was restored. Though the deposed ruler attempted to re-establish his throne, his forces were overcome, so that the Christian queen is sustained—Moslem World. THE MOORFIELD STORY DRIVE FOR 50,000 MEMBERS FOR THE N.
