RECEPTION IS HELD AT PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH
St. Paul Chapter Royally Entertained Delegates of the Iowa Jurisdiction.
The meeting of Electa Grand Chapter, O. E. S., composed of 26 chapters in various cities of Iowa and Minnesota, who held their sixteenth annual session at Union hall, terminated the most successful one ever held by the chapter.

THE NEW HOTEL HOWELL
THE STREETS OF BROOKLYN
THE HOME OF THE HISTORIC MUSEUM OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
The Henrietta Hotel, corner of McKubin and Rondo streets, was purchased this week by Owen Howell, publisher of The Northwestern Bulletin and proprietor of the Uptown Sanitary Shop. This hotel is the best in the city controlled by our race. It contains sixteen rooms, all modern and up-to-the-minute. The spacious veranda, beautiful shrubbery, lawn and trees give a real home-like aspect to the place. This is conveniently located as it is near two of the Masonic halls and many business houses conducted by our group. The hotel has housed many prominent visitors from all parts of the country. Besides being an ideal place for the stranger in our midst to stop, it is especially arranged for the entertainment of guests at luncheon, dinner and card parties. Mr. Howell said that realizing the necessity of a first-class hotel for our people and having their interest at heart, he intends to make this the best in the Northwest and asks the co-operation of the people toward this end. The name of the hotel will be changed to "The Howell." Mr. Howell in the near future will erect a first-class drug store on the corner of the lot, which fills a long-felt want in this vicinity. The importance of race business is becoming a more potent factor owing to acute difficulty of our college graduates finding employment. An era of prosperity will come only when more of our men establish commercial enterprises for the employment of our younger generation. Again public support is necessary to insure permanancy to these various projects. The proposed drug store, when completed, will function materially in aiding some of our graduates in pharmacy who would otherwise be forced to seek employment in other centers. They will be just as great assets to our community as to other circles; but we cannot hope to retain them unless we offer ensuing year: Mrs. H. R. Graves, cities offer. We hope that this precedent may be a stimulus to greater commercial activities than past history has recorded.
Mr. J. R. Clark of Peoria, Ill., motored to St. Paul Friday morning to spend a few days visiting his mother, Mrs. M. F. Clark, and sisters, Mary Clark and Mrs. Horace Craig.

Along the Line
By Fred D. McCracken
As a convention city, there is no better place in the country than St. Paul or Minneapolis. With our many public buildings, halls and beautiful churches as meeting places, we are amply able to care for the largest gatherings of our people and provide adequate housing facilities. Our many points of interest, surrounded by our many lakes and summer resorts and the hospitality of our people, makes the Twin Cities a delightful place for visitors.
ELSEWHERE
The largest and most successful real estate firm among our group in the country is Nail & Parker, New York City. The firm controls property worth several millions of dollars. Boley, Okla., one of the most successful towns inhabited by our people, is about to be populated by white people due to the great oil strike within a few miles of Boley.
The Helping Hand club will have a box social at the church Friday evening, June 29. Everyone is cordially invited to be present.
Mrs. M. F. Clark of Battle Creek, Mich, and daughter, Miss Mary Nola Clark, arrived in the city this week to be the guest of her daughter, Mrs. Horace T. Craig, 434 Edmund street.

DELEGATION OF CHICAGO WOMEN STOP OVER HERE
Group of Women From National Federation of Women's Clubs Visit Twih Cities
The St. Paul City Federation of Women's Clubs was hostess last Sunday to a delegation of prominent women from Chicago, headed by Mrs. Joanna Porter, Snowden, President of the Northwestern Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. The party was composed of Mrs. Theresa G. Macon, Past National Officer; Mrs. Pearl F. Ross, President of the West Side Women's Club: Mrs. Kathryn Slayton, late appointee of the Big Sisterhood, Northwestern division (national); Mme. Ezella M. Carter, Founder and President Emeritus, of the Carter Benevolent and Charity Clubs, composed of ninety-three clubs of young people; Mrs. Fanny Turner, Temperance Worker Chaplin of the Northwest Division; Mesdames Melissa Elam, Alice Mathews, Laura Logan, Nina Tives, Frances Smith, Ella S. Powell, Nannie Bradley, Alleen Vern, Carrie Pope, Arnetta Young and Addie Pope. Madame Mae Black Mason, first recording secretay of the Northwestern Federation, assisted by the members of the City Federation, arranged a splendid program for the entertainment of the visitors. Arriving Sunday, a delightful motor tour was given for the guests, who were shown the beauties of the Saintly City. A public reception followed at Pioneer hall, 588 Rondo street. A large number of leading citizens attended and had the pleasure of meeting this intelligent group, who are doing much good for the uplift of the race. Mrs. Mae Black Mason presided in her usual gracious manner as mistress of ceremonies, and heartily welcomed the visitors in behalf of the St. Paul District Federation, of which she is president. Prayer by Rev. L. W. Harris of Pilgrim Baptist church then followed. Mrs. Kathryn S. Slayton was introduced and spoke on the "Big Sister Movement" which has been inaugurated by the women to help the unfortunates in Juvenile and Detention Homes, who often never get a chance and would under proper supervision make good citizens. On behalf of the ministry, Rev. L. W. Harris gave a splendid address of welcome. He complimented the women on their ability to take care of things, showing the both national and international problems. Their willingness to blend their efforts in a certain channel to get national recognition has done much toward the progress of the race. The worth of the organization lies in the legislation, co-operation and resolution to succeed. Strong men would not have been able to reach the pinnacle of success without the earnestness, patience, endurance and influ-

Local Branches of N.A.A.C.P. Need Memberships; Everyone Should Help Bulletin in Drive to Help the Greatest Organized Body in America.
We are starting the third week of our drive to help the N. A. A. C. P. of both St. Paul and Minneapolis to become more strongly fortified by an increased membership. We have endeavored to impress the necessity of this venture because the N. A. A. C. P. has only two sources from which it receives support. The two sources we have previously mentioned as contribution and membership. In giving a membership to one of the two local branches with each new subscription to the Northwestern Bulletin we wish to again state that it does not profit us financially. To us the Dyer Bill is the biggest thing in our history. If it is worth its name, funds should be raised to help the N. A. A. C. P. keep up the fight.
Applause Meant What?
When Congressman Dyer visited the Twin Cities and gave his address on the subject of his purpose, there were many who applauded vigorously. Many of these were not and still are not members of the N. A. A. C. P. Under the spell of the hour many of these people felt as if they could do much for the support of the Dyer Bill. We wonder if they went home and slept off their enthusiasm. There seems to be no other reason for not displaying the same spirit at this time. Did some of us show our appreciation to the N. A. A. C. P. just to be seen of men, or was there real sincerity in the administration? This is the greatest opportunity now for you to do something for the grandest Association in America.
Significance of Purpose.
The purpose of the N. A. A. C. P. is well understood and the worth of the association is beyond doubt. Again, everyone is acquainted with purposefulness of the Northwestern Bulletin; will receive double value for your $$2.00. A membership in the local branch of N. A. A. C. P. in the city where you reside and a year's subscription to the liveliest race paper in the Northwest. Interest your friend in helping to make the local branches of the N. A. A. C. P. larger and let your dollar go toward passing the Dyer Bill. Fill out coupon in the advertising section and mail with your remittance to The NORTH-WESTERN BULLETIN, 408 Court Block, St. Paul, Minn.

GOV. J. A. O. PREUS Preus Went From Farm To Capitol
J. A. O. Preus, Governor of Minnesota, was born on a farm in Wisconsin, August 28, 1883. He attended the country school and was graduated from Luther college, Decorah, Iowa. Afterward Mr. Preus entered the law school at the University of Minnesota, from which he was graduated in 1906. For three years thereafter he served as clerk under Senator Knute Nelson in the United States Senate at Washington. From September, 1909 to 1911, Mr. Preus held the position of executive clerk in the governor's office and was later appointed insurance commissioner by Governor Eberhart in 1911 and reappointed in 1913. He has served two terms as State Auditor and became Governor January 5, 1921. Minnesota has had few chief executives who, were equal to Governor Preus in any way. Orator, statesman and champion of liberty, equality and justice, his speeches are requested almost nationally. Governor Preus, in 1921, signed the Minnesota Antilynching bill and has on all occasions given the best within him for the preservation of Minnesota traditional spirit.
Eta Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority entertained informally on Wednesday evening at Shevlin hall on the University Campus in honor of the university graduates. The younger folks of the Twin Cities were the invited guests.

Largest Deal of City Realtors Consumated by Well Known Man.
Mr. F. D. McCracken, St. Paul's enterprising realtor, recently closed probably the largest transaction in the history of race real estate men. The deal involved the purchase of the building on the corner of Kent and University avenue, by Mr. John Lane. This building is a brick structure containing four flats. An eight-room, modern house facing Kent also was included in the sale. No doubt this corner will, in the near future, prove a bonanza for the purchaser, as University avenue is the main thoroughfare connecting St. Paul and Minneapolis. The possibilities of a greater business section in

PLACED UNDER ARREST
Blaze Started in Furniture Store and Quickly Spread to the Apartment Above.
Chicago, June 21.—Ten Negroes are known to have been killed and at least twenty-five were injured in a fire which swept a three-story tenement house here early today. The 160 Negro tenants of the building were cut off from escape by the destruction of the main stairway and numbers jumped to the streets from the windows.
Scores of heroic rescues were made by firemen.
The fire started in a furniture store on the ground floor and quickly destroyed the wooden tenement.
The dead were taken to a nearby morgue for identification, the injured are being treated at emergency hospitals.
Later, Joseph Smith, wealthy Negro owner of the furniture store, was arrested.
The fire, which started from an unexplained cause, spread rapidly through the store and attacked the wooden stairs leading to the upper floors before any occupants of the tenement awakened. When the firemen arrived the first floor and entrance way were masses of flames.

Other Purchases.
Mr. McCracken also reported the closing of the deal involving the purchase of the Henrietta Hotel, 503 Rondo street, which was sold under option of the St. Paul Realty last winter. The final sale was made to Mr. Owen Howell, personally. Other corners purchased are as follows: Dale and Rondo streets, by R. C. Minor; Kent and Rondo, by C. M. E. church, and St. Anthony avenue and Kent street, by Walker Williams. The significance of these recent purchases is very far reaching and displays the progressive spirit of our citizens. The greatest respect is attained from the masses when the surplus dollars are invested in good real estate.

Entered as second-class matter February 20, 1922, at the postoffice at St. Paul, Minn., under the Act of March 3, 1879.
We have received authentic information to the effect that no place is being provided in the various institutions for homeless children of our group. That when such occasions arise when children are parentless or for other reasons homeless, adoption is suggested in some worthy family. If adoption is not forthcoming, what is to happen to these future fathers and mothers? Shall education be denied them because they are unfortunate? Shall they drift with the tide of fate without anything being done to preserve them? Will our various civic and welfare associations sit with folded arms and let these little ones perish? This is a tremendous task for every organization to consider seriously. Great possibilities may be imbedded in some of these minds. A Douglass, Dunbar or possibly Phylis' Wheatly may be waiting for development. A noted philosopher once said that over half of the world's geniuses had never been discovered. We need all the geniuses available. It is vitally important to secure immediate action on this situation.
When we consider the unfortunate children, and not on their own account, there should be a great work visualized by our various leaders; so great that selfishness, vanity and everything detrimental may be put aside to secure the blessings of culture and progressiveness for these neglected sons and daughters. In seeking the best for ourselves, let us remember that others, especially children, love the pleasure of life.
There are two types of persons that make conditions take a trend for the worse. One is the person, who does not know any better; the other is the one who doesn't care for himself or anyone else. The latter type of people are the constant menace of any city. The one who does not know any better might be taught differently. One of the most lamentable happenings of the season was the way some of our people conducted themselves at a recent boat excursion. And it is especially regretable that the organization giving these outings frequently is forced to bear the blame for misconduct on the part of unscrupulous individuals. At his very best the Negro is not rated overly high by the average white person. At every opportunity some plan of segregation is suggested. When segregation is encountered these very people who caused it are the first to object, yet they are in a large measure responsible. Some of the greatest injuries done to the race are through its own members, such as those who found it convenient to display their prowess in the presence of many others. This type of people are worth nothing to themselves or the race. If their highest ambitions is to select a boat outing, given for pleasure, to show how uncivilized they are, we might suggest that they resort to something that will not jeopardize the right and freedom of the higher type of people.
The primary election last Monday was the sifting process by which Who's Who was discovered. Those expected to be successful in the beginning of the campaign fell short of expectation. One of the commendable features of Governor Preus was his ability to surmount every obstacle placed in his path. According to some critics the present governor should not have become a candidate for office. The ballot proved the thinking faculties of the majority of voters will function for themselves regardless of supposed authorities.
It will be remembered in 1921 the state of Oklahoma sought extradition for C. T. Smithie. Iva L. Short, a real Southern sheriff, was sent here to take the accused man back to Oklahoma. When given an opportunity to tell his story before Governor Preus, Short said, "I know he's the nigger cause I saw him with another nigger." One of our contemporaries vigorously protested against such illicit utterance, but Governor Preus said, "No, we want to file that utterance on our official record so that the colored people of Minnesota may know the disrespect the law of Oklahoma holds for their people." It was largely on the basis of Short's utterance that the governor refused to issue extradition papers on the ground that the accused would not receive a fair trial in the state of Oklahoma.
The voters of Minnesota will have an opportunity for selecting the best obtainable for representation in the Senate. The most capable and worthy man should be the choice of the people. We urge every Negro voter in the state to do his or her duty; select the man that offers the soundest basis for our benefit. Remember, the Dyer Bill comes up again at the next session of Congress. This fact alone should and must arouse the race voter to the extent that no candidate who is not an advocate for the Dyer Bill will receive a vote from the Negro voters of Minnesota.
Gentlemen: From time to time I will call attention to some valuable thoughts and ideas that have done the world a real service. I will also give you credit for the very valuable service you have rendered to the Railroad Companies of the nation; especially in the dining car department. Columbus discovered America. Other men have made discoveries too. Why not, Ye Men of the Rails, discover yourselves and your opportunities to do something to help our people to see the future in just a little different way than they have the past. Our fathers built our generation churches, lodges and schools, for which let us be thankful. But we must not stop there. Let us teach them how to make a higher use of these institutions. Let us try to show our people that they should be used to preach and teach a greater spirit of local, state and national unity. Now, Gentlemen, let us reason together; we know full well that it took a long time and plenty of hard work to lay and build the rails over which we simply fly day after day. Just so it may take a long time and just as much hard work to bring our people to see that we ought to build factories and stores in or near every church, lodge and school in the nation. This would be a great movement in the interest of our boys and girls because it would prepare a way for them to earn the dollars that they are called upon to give to the support of these institutions. This is a splendid task and God knows a hard one; but it will give to our boys and girls a better and happier age to live in than we enjoy at the present day. Let us make this our higher aim.

Imigrants Prove They Make Good Under New Plans
Negro Employment Bureau Has Secured Most of Labor Imported.
(By the Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, Ill., June 22.—"Industrial needs in the North are holding forth to the Negro an opportunity second in importance only to that of emancipation. The chance is here for the colored mechanic and laborer to obtain a firm foothold in the industrial life of the North and if they prove their ability to take advantage of the possibilities, they are certain to become a permanent part of the economic structure of this section. The Negro faces the prospect of doubling his potential earning power when his advent into Northern manufacturing fields with its more favorable compensation is considered, together with the stimulated demand and consequently higher wages which will be created in the South by the scarcity of labor." The foregoing opinions were gathered from men identified with some of the largest corporations in the district by a reporter for A. N. P. who has been making a survey of the industrial situation in Chicago and vicinity with a view to observing how the migrants were fitting into their new environment from the standpoint of the employer, upon whose opinion it is apparent the final success of the newcomer in the North depends.
Race Agents Used.
Superintendents of various plants expressed a willingness to be interviewed and talked freely of production wanted, type of labor needed, the "percentage of turnover" and their experiences in handling Negro labor. Some were pleased with results, others were dubious, while a few were discouraged and disgusted. All were agreed, however, that the greatest need was careful selection and classification of the laborers who were presented. One of the surprises uncovered was the discovery that a colored firm, Parker and Parker, 309 E. 39th street, whose activities have been little known, have handled the bulk of labor from the South which has filtered into the steel, brick and related industries. These men have evolved a system of classification of applicants even to physical and medical examination which have won for them wide approbation and support from the large firms which they serve here and throughout Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and the Northwest. So firmly have they established themselves that railroads have been issuing tickets in the South on their order, billing them for the cost which the workers paid on receiving the transportation or after arriving here.
Calls Labor Diversified.
Several superintendents referred to the service this organization was performing, saying if they could get constantly men of the type which had been selected because of their particular fitness and qualifications for the work to be done, the problem would be solved. One large employer called attention to a group of 100 selected men whom he had obtained through this source and turning to a timekeeper's report on his desk said that out of this group $87\%$ had made full time for the past 15 days and that investigation showed some of the delinquents actually on the sick list. "Some men make good steel workers, others make good moulders, while others are fit for neither," he said. "It is the hiring, training and detection of the worker who won't come to work on time, who lays off every few days, who is physically unfit, who never returns the day after pay day that has driven some of the employment managers frantic," said this informant. Our doors are wide open for thrifty, steady, dependable men with promotion and pay in proportion as they prove themselves fit. Some idea of the continuance of migration may be gathered from the fact that 26 carloads of colored people came into Chicago last Sunday over one road, the Illinois Central. A mass of valuable information has been uncovered which will be given in a series of articles on various phases of employment in specific industries.
Mrs. Minnie Archer, 579 West Central avenue, will leave next week to attend the State Federation of Women's Clubs in Duluth. During her stay in the city Mrs. Archer will be the guest of her sister, Mrs. Newsome. Mrs. Arthur Hedge, 878 St. Anthony avenue, who has been seriously ill, is gradually recovering and will soon be able to be out again.

is so much about and their ways to be told," said the Crowned" Eagle, "that no one seems to hear about us."
A woman in a hat is sitting in a garden, holding a basket and looking at a palm tree.
"It is the same way as far as we are concerned," sald the Golden Eagle.
"I suppose it is because, too, we are not around as much as the Bald Eagles. We aren't to be seen so often.
"In fact," the Golden Eagle said, "we're fond
"Every One Came"
Then, too, the people would say: "Those are the Bald Eagles. They're the American Bird of Freedom family."
And the Golden Eagle would say: "How many times do I have to hear that? I certainly don't have to be told it any more. And it seems a pity people have to be told it so often. There is a sign up in front of their zoo home next to us saying that they are of the family of the American Bird of Freedom, or at least I think I've been told that there is that sign.
"I am quite sure of that, and I know anyway that there is a sign saying that they're Bald Eagles. People know that Bald Eagles are the American Birds of Freedom."
"Perhaps there are some who don't know it," said the Crowned Eagle on one of these occasions.
"Perhaps," said the Golden Eagle, "though I doubt it."
"Maybe they like to air their knowledge," said the Crowned Eagle.
"I suppose they do," said the Golden Eagle. "Dear me, it seems a pity. And it seems as though people were always aliring their knowledge. They never do up their knowledge in camphor balls and newspapers as I've heard they did with their winter clothes.
"Oh, no, they air their knowledge whenever they get a chance, and quite often when there isn't even a real chance. I suppose it is a good thing in a way, for then people get to know more and more by this way of handing around information.
"But it becomes tresome when one has to listen again and again to the same thing as we have to do.
"Now I don't get half a chance to tell about myself. I, too, am an American Eagle. Of course there are relatives of mine flying about Europe and Asia, but still there are a great many of us here.
"I am a very large bird. I am the largest of all the North American Eagles. In fact I'm much larger than any of the Bald Eagles ever are.
"I am handsome with my golden-brown feathers. I choose a very grand and high mountain for my home town and my home nest when I'm not in the zoo. This is the family way. We eat small, dainty creatures such as wild ducks and grouse and turkeys.
"Ah, at last I've told of my ways. And our leaks are feathered to the toes
and are handsome! I suppose there are always creatures who think they should have won the prize after it has been given, to some one else, but I think we should have had the American prize instead of the Bald Eagles. I imagine they choose them because they're more about than we are and more to be seen and all."
"A Very Large Bird.
"Well," said the Crowned Eagle, "I will tell my little story, too. As you can see I have a fine turtl which I call my crown and others call it my crown, too. I am gray and black and brown and I come from Africa.
"I come from a very wild family. We're very fierce and we kill animals larger than ourselves. We hide among the trees and then we drop down on our prey as they pass along below."
And the other eagles felt better for having told their stories.
Change a Smiling Face.
It was the drawing-class at the school.
"Sargent was a great artist," said the teacher. "With one stroke he could change a smiling face into a sorrowful one."
"That ain't nothing," piped up Johnny. "Me mother does that to me lots of times."

CAREFUL SELECTION OF FOOD FOR TABLE
CAREFUL SELECTION OF FOOD FOR TABLE
(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)
"Waste not, want not" is as good a maxim today as when our great-grandfathers wrote it in the copy-books. By careful purchase and use of food, savings are effected for the housekeeper which can be applied advantageously to other departments of living, such as having more conveniences, more attractive clothes, more recreation, or longer education. At the same time, the producers of foods—the farmer and his wife—are helped by intelligent purchasing because it involves a greater variety of products, the choice of locally grown, easily transportable foods, vegetables and fruits in season, and the abandoning of food pretudes.
The United States Department of Agriculture suggests a number of economies in the management of the family food, most of which were willingly practiced during the World war, but gradually neglected as times have become more prosperous. To make the income go as far as possible, the housekeeper must know what constitutes proper food for the family, and

Saving Made by Careful Purchase and Use of Food.
buy only enough for the household needs. Farmers' Bulletin 808, "How to Select Foods. I What the Body Needs," will help her determine these needs. When strict economy is necessary she can learn from this bulletin how to choose the less expensive from each of the various groups of foods that together provide adequate nourishment. These less expensive foods are often the common every-day products which constitute the farmer's main crop; a steady demand for them stabilizes the farmer's market and benefits everybody.
One way to avoid wasteful purchasing is to know how much of each kind of food—butter, sugar, flour, coffee, vegetables, cereals, etc., is needed each week. By shopping only once or twice a week and giving larger orders a great deal of time is saved and one may often take advantage of better prices. Comparison of prices, values, and quality in different stores is an advantage when it is possible. Products in season are likely to be cheaper than out of season delicacies. Buying by weight is now required for most fruits and vegetables; when staples come in cartons the customer should estimate the cost of the goods by the pound.
After food enters the kitchen it is literally throwing money away to allow any of it to be wasted. Burnt food, spelled food and a full garbage pail are all evidences of thriftless housekeeping. Unless one plans in advance how to use up the extra material, it is of course, better to buy closely and avoid left-over. When left-over food is on hand some use should be found for it which does not involve much additional material, much time for preparation or extra fuel for cooking. If the size of each portion served is adapted to the person for whom it is intended, children can more easily be taught the "gospel of the clean plate." It is no longer considered a mark of good manners to leave a little bit of uneaten food on the plate.
Any way of cooking which retains in the food the largest proportion of nutritive substances is a good method. Meats cooked en caserole, in their own gravy or in a fireless cooker accomplish this slim. If white and sweet potatoes are boiled in their skins they can be easily pooled after cooking and not so much of the valuable mineral matters cook out into the water. Spinach, greens, asparagus, squash, cooked cucumbers and other succulent vegetables are better steamed than boiled. The water in which suitably seasoned vegetables have been cooked can frequently be utilised for soups. Water drained from potatoes or rice thickens soup or gravy or is good in bread-making.
SUPPLEMENT TO THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN
HOW TO GET RESULTS IN BUYING PATTERN
Useful Suggestions Offered by Department of Agriculture to Club Members.
(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)
The United States Department of Agriculture offers to members of its various clothing clubs the following suggestions on using commercial patterns:
In buying a pattern, be sure that its size is right. Patterns may be bought by age or by measure. For a girl of normal size for her years, buy a pattern by age; for an adult or a girl who may vary from the size, take the necessary measures and buy a pattern that corresponds to them. Walst patterns are numbered according to bust measure; skirt patterns are numbered by both hip and waist measure. It is better to buy a skirt pattern of the correct hip size, as it is easier to make slight changes in it around the waist than to alter it on the hips. Before opening the pattern, read the directions carefully and thoroughly. Open the pattern and study the separate pieces. A guide chart is usually printed on the envelope, and will show you the purpose of the various pieces. Put back into the envelope any pieces which are not to be used at once.
To lengthen a pattern for a waist or skirt, cut straight across each of the pieces that are too short, having the cuts exactly perpendicular to the line of dots which marks the lengthwise line of the goods. Insert a piece of paper as wide as you wish the pattern to be made longer; or, when cutting out the garment, lay the two cut parts of the pattern on the goods so that they are separated by a distance equal to the desired increase in length. When lengthening a skirt pattern, the pieces should be slashed about two-thirds of the distance from the top. In a waist make the cut about three inches above the waistline. In either case, make sure that the insert is the same width throughout. To increase the width of a piece slash it lengthwise and separate the pieces in the same way as in lengthening.
Another way of making a garment longer or broader than the pattern is to pin a plait evenly in the goods, lay the pattern over it, and cut. To shorten a pattern or make it smaller, take a plait in it in the same position as suggested for the slashes.
Spread the material out on a flat surface and arrange every piece of the pattern on it before beginning to cut. As many of the pieces are to be cut in duplicate, one can often fold the material, lay the pattern on it, and cut out the two pieces at once. In cutting the back of a waist or the front gore (and sometimes the back gore) of a skirt, fold the material lengthwise, lay the straight edge of the pattern along the fold, and cut around the pattern except on this straight edge. Pieces to be cut in this way on a lengthwise fold are marked on the pattern with crosses, or in some other manner.
Sometimes the guide chart indicates how to arrange the pattern on the goods so that there will be no unnecessary waste in cutting. In any case, lay the pattern on so that the pieces come close together and the waste is as slight as possible. Be very careful that the lengthwise perforations of the pattern are upon the warp (lengthwise) thread of the goods. Strips or figures must run exactly up and down in the finished garment. Pin each section of pattern in several places, taking care that the curves and corners are flat on the goods.
Out out the pieces, allowing for seams, if allowance has not been made for them in the pattern; otherwise cut exactly around the edge. Use large shears, and cut with a long, steady stroke, not a short, choppy one. Accurate cutting is the greatest help toward a good-looking garment. Cut all notches as indicated by the pattern, using small scissors and being careful not to cut them so deep that they will interfere with the seams. Mark perforations with chalk, pencil or thread. Unpin the paper pattern, and fold all pieces carefully, and place at once in envelope.
The calculations of the amount of material to buy in the case of garments are more elaborate. Most commercial patterns give a table stating the amount of material of different widths necessary for the garment. If the amount is not stated it must be estimated, taking into consideration both the measurements of the patterns and of the person who is to wear the garment.
VENTILATED BOX FOR BREAD
Hot Product Should Not Be Wrapped Immediately as Moisture Causes Molds to Form.
Bread and cakes should be kept in a ventilated box, the United States Department of Agriculture reminds the housewife. Hot bread should not be wrapped immediately. The moisture of fresh bread causes molds to form. The bread box should be scalded once a week, wiped dry, and sunned.
Crackers and cookies, on the other hand, lose their crispness, by absorbing moisture from the air. They should be kept in air-tight boxes wrapped in parchment or paraffin paper, if possible.
Helps Fish Flavor.
You will improve the flavor of fish if you sprinkle a little salt in the fat in which it is fried.

The Committee Reserves the Right to Refuse Any Undesirable Person
(@ by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
Clarissa Hurd was experiencing, for the first time in her twenty-odd years of life, the hardships due to having an insufficient income and no training in any wage-earning work.
"But," she was explaining to the aunt with whom she was living in the suburban town, "I know I can find a way in which to support myself. I shall not let my mind rest until it comes to me with a bright and promising idea."
Aunt Emily was a little old-fashioned, but she did believe in concentration, and if Clarissa seemed a trifle absent-minded in the next few days it was because she was searching the realms of possibilities for her own material future, and her aunt sympathised with her mood.
"I have it—I have it," she almost aboutted one afternoon as she dashed in at the back door, letting in a flood of red sunlight from the fast disappearing disk of fire.
Aunt Emily was getting supper—they still had supper, as did many others in the suburban settlement where the men folks came home at noon from factory or store for a noon-day dinner.
"You might be going in for the movie business the way you are gyrating around," dryly remarked Aunt Emily.
"No, Aunt Emily—not yet. I'm going to turn this old jitney that father left to me as his only bequest into a means a making a living."
Aunt Emily was curious. "How so?" "I'm going to start a little profession of my own-house marketing. Most of the people up here in this settlement have to go on the trolley car to the village to market. It casts them fourteen cents for carfare, but they have often told me it pays them to go for their things even then. And in the new shops in the village there is no delivery, but the groceries, meats and vegetables are marked far below those sold in the stores that have a delivery system and a telephone." Clarissa was growing enthusiastic as she felt her aunt's understanding of her project.
"I propose to go to the neighbors, one by one, and tell them that I will call at their homes every morning or twice a week, as they see fit, and get their whole list of errands for the day. I'll take the laundry, collars and all the things that have to go to the village, get the groceries, meats, and take the children's shoes to the cobbler. All this for a quarter, only eleven cents more than carfare, and all the time and trouble saved for the housewife. I'll get the best of attention from the stores and the customers will reap the benefit. Do you see, Aunt Emily?" "It seems like a feasible idea, my dear. And it costs so little to run that car and Pa takes care of it for you." Clarissa went to work at once to make a list of the persons who she thought would appreciate her services. One by one she called on them and explained her purpose.
Inside of four weeks she had more than a dozen families a day on an average and numbered forty housewives on her list.
In the big grocery store where Clarissa did most of her ordering she was well liked, as much for her charming personality as for the business she brought to the shop daily.
"Miss Hurd, we are having a new manager in here next week," said Mr. Andrews, the young man who had been taking care of her orders.
Clarissa's face fell. "Oh, are you going?
The young man blushed. "Yes, I have been made manager of a chain.
"They have promoted me faster than I deserved, I fear," he explained. "I hope you won't make the lack of my personal attention to your orders keep you away from the store."
Clarissa assured him that she would not, but she could not see how any new manager could make himself as popular with the shoppers as had young Mr. Andrews. The place was clean, everything was fresh and courteous was the object of every clerk. On Monday Clarissa began her day's work with a big list of orders. She sat down on the wooden stool and got out her marketing list and pencil.
"Have you been served?" she heard a voice at her elbow ask. She turned to look into warm golden brown eyes and a smiling face. He was a stranger. "No—thank you. Not yet." The young man took the place opposite her at the counter and filled her order quickly, with a quick understanding of the new stock. He was the new manager, Robert Underwood. "Till have the things put in your car, madam," he said, when the order was ready. Clarissa thanked him and led the way to her shabby jitney standing at the curb. Mr. Underwood looked at the car as if he quite understood that this was merely the service car and that there was a better one at home, perhaps many. No one would be making such a big order if she owned only this ragged-looking jitney.
Clarissa thought she understood the expression and decided to have a little fun playing the grande dame to this new and unenlightened young store manager. For weeks she made him think she was a wealthy young woman, quite out of his class, he had decided. With reservations he referred to his own
station in life. Clarissa had noticed the shape of his hands and had caught the cultured tone of his voice occasionally.
One morning when they were loading Clarissa's big order into her old car she observed that her rear left tire was flat.
"Oh, dear," she sighed. "And these groceries are late now."
Robert Underwood came quickly to her rescue. "I happen to have my car standing at the back. Won't you let me run them—and you—home and see that this goes to the garage for you?" His voice was so kindly, the necessity that she be on time so important that Clarissa accepted the offer.
It was nearly two miles from the village to Clarissa's home. She had all the groceries deposited on her aunt's front stoop, and then and there she explained her profession.
"And I thought you were some horribly rich person who would not even know that I existed," said the young man, knowingly. "Was that kind?" "It was purely business," Clarissa insisted.
"Perhaps you'd let me come to see you some evening and explain to you just what the business means to me—just why I am taking personal charge of each store in turn to find out its requirements. Would you be interested?"
Clarissa nodded. "Td love to know," she said, as he left.
When he did come to see her he told her more than that he was the son of one of the members of the firm that ran the chain of stores in small towns.
He told her that he had had a premonition that in this particular vicinity he was going to find the only girl in the world.
"And—have you found her—yet?" asked Clarissa.
Charissa decided that he had and it was not long before she had to sell out her marketing profession to a young woman in the town.
DIVERS TASTES IN READING
Books May Be Said to Have Their "Seasona," Librarians Looking Forward to Demand.
Statistics obtained from a city library show that most of the serious reading done by the public is done during the winter, poetry and drama being chiefly in demand. In the spring, in addition to books on gardening, there is an increased demand for books on outdoor sports. During the summer and fall fiction shows a big jump. Married women chiefly read fiction, while men prefer books on travel and autobiography. After the age of fifty, says a librarian, both men and women read solely to pass the time, choosing fiction exclusively.
The head of a children's department says that both boys and girls during the last few years have been asking for mature books, particularly books on animals. This demand has been traced directly to the children's page stories about animals at the zoo. Boys' taste in reading, it appears, has altered since twenty years ago. Adventure stories, then popular by writers such as Optic, Ellis and Alger, are no longer asked for by youngsters, and tales of school athletics, young heroes of the diamond and football field have taken their place, with the Boy Scout books running a close second.

Examining a 1,700-year-old tree from the giant forest of Tulare county, California, a scientist found that two wood-boring beetles, sealed in a hole in the tree over a thousand years, are not appreciably different from beetles of the same species now infesting the forest. It is judged the tree was struck by lightning when about 421 years old, and that it was at that time the tree became infested. Later, the indications are, the tree healed the wound, thus completely sealing in the beetles, says an exchange. Though it is considered remarkable that there has been so little change in so variable a species, one must also recognize, says the scientist making the discovery, that the insect in question pertains to an archaic type, and that undoubtedly the characteristics of the species had been well fixed before the Christian era.
Tibetana Healthy Race.
General Bruce of the Everest expedition described Tibetan porters as carrying weights of over a hundred pounds each up an altitude of 5,000 feet to a height of 14,000 feet. One girl, he says, shouldered a tent weighing 160 pounds and with tireless energy carried it up the pass.
The Tibetan tribes live on natural foodstuffs, such as milk and corn and green foods, with almost no sugar or alcohol; they keep their bodies fit by hard exercise taken in the open air and sunshine. They are very long-lived and free from all the nervous and digestive troubles, appendicitis, colitis and other kinds of "itis" which afflict the dwellers in big cities.
Woods Used in Commerce
Broom handles, clothespins, refrigerators and washing machines are often made of beech. This is moderately strong, heavy, hard wood, and its wear-resisting qualities make it especially desirable for these uses. Cypress is one of the strongest of soft woods. It has a peculiar moisture-resisting property that causes it to be in wide demand for making shingles, ice cream freezers, pails, clothes wringers and laundry tubs. Ironing tables, butter vats, washboards and broom handles are frequently made of spruce, which besides being light in weight is soft, but stiff and strong.
SUPPLEMENT TO THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN
EGGS IN TOMATO SAUCE FOR SUPPER
A woman is preparing a meal in a kitchen. She is mixing ingredients in a bowl and pouring them into a pot. There are various kitchen utensils and containers on the counter, including a knife, a spoon, a measuring cup, and a jar. The background is a dark, empty room with shelves filled with glass jars.
New and appetizing ways of preparing eggs add variety to the menu. Here is a recipe recommended by the experiment kitchen of the United States Department of Agriculture.
Make a sauce of the ingredients. Put one-half of the sauce in a baking dish, break six eggs, one at a time, into a sauce and slide each egg into the sauce, taking care not to break the yolk. Cover with the remaining sauce and sprinkle 3 tablespoonfuls of grated cheese over the top. Put in the oven and bake until the eggs are set. Serve hot on toasted bread or with boiled rice.
2 cupfuls tomato pulp and juice (put through a sieve)
2 tablespoonfuls butter.
Make a sauce of the ingredients. dish, break six eggs, one at a time, in sauce, taking care not to break the yolk sprinkle 3 tablespoonfuls of grated che bake until the eggs are set. Serve hot
SAVE TIME FINDING CLOTHES
Housekeeper Must Evolve Her Own System for Storage of Wearing Apparel of Family.
If individual boxes are used from year to year to put clothes away in, there may be kept in or near each one a small roll of mending pieces belonging to the person whose clothes are in the box. If the scraps left over when a dress is cut out are stored in the right place at the time of cutting, patching or remodeling pieces may be found in a jiffy.
Millinery trimming's (feathers, ribbons, flowers, velvet pieces) should be stored, if in good condition, in a box by themselves, where they can be easily found if a hat must be unexpectedly freshened. Laces of different kinds can be wound on cards or otherwise put away, so that a glance will make the right piece accessible. Lining materials and old dress foundations which have further uses are best collected by themselves. Each housekeeper must evolve her own system but if she aims to arrange the family clothing and materials in storage so that everything is readily found when wanted she serves the double purpose of saving much time and keeping the storage room in good order, says the United States Department of Agriculture.
HOW CREOLE EGGS ARE MADE
Melted Butter, Chopped Onions, Tomatoes and Green Peppers Are Among Ingredients.
The United States Department of Agriculture gives the following directions for making "creole eggs" from six hard-boiled eggs, previously ready. Cook one-half cupful of washed rice in two quarts of boiling water containing one teaspoonful of salt.
Make a sauce in the following way: Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in a skillet, and add four tablespoonfuls of chopped onions. Cook until the onion is soft, but not brown. Add one and one half cupfuls of canned tomatoes and two finely chopped green peppers, ane one-half teaspoonful of salt. Cook for fifteen minutes. Place a layer of boiled rice in a baking dish, cover with slices of hard-cooked eggs and cover the sliced eggs with creole sauce. Repeat until baking dish is full. Grate cheese over the top and bake for twenty minutes in a moderate oven.
Household Questions
Soft-bolled eggs are more easily digested than fried.
A soiled leather pocketbook may be cleaned with a sponge dipped in gasoline.
Stuff pitted prunes with grated cheese, peanuts or walnuts and roll in powdered sugar.
Mince cold chicken, cook with lemon juice, cayenne, salt and chopped olives. Use as a sandwich paste.
A bolt of cheap lace will not be one-half as effective as a yard or two of really good lace on a frock.
Malted milk should be served in tall glasses, never in cups. It is not suitable to serve for the afternoon tea.
If canned fruit is to be used for a shortcake it should be carefully drained and cut in pieces. Use the stirup as a foundation for the sauce.
To clean silver knives, forks or spoons place the silver in a basin and then cover with milk. Boll for three minutes, rinse in hot water and dry.
$ \frac{3}{2} $ tablespoonfuls 'flour.
$ \frac{1}{2} $ teaspoonfuls calery salt.

SELECTING FLY BAIT OF BIG IMPORTANCE
SELECTING FLY BAIT OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Largely Fermentation Which Renders Material Attractive to Household Pests.
(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)
The problem of selecting the best bait for files is an important one. In choosing a bait it should be remembered, says the United States Department of Agriculture, that it is largely the fermentation which renders the material attractive, and that baits are most attractive during their most active period of fermentation. The kind of bait used should be governed by the species of files the destruction of which is desired. This is most often the house fly.
A mixture of cheap cane molasses ("black strap") and water is one of the most economical and effective baits for the house fly. One part molasses is mixed with three parts water. The attractiveness becomes marked on the second or third day.
Sugar-beet or "stock molasses," which is very cheap in regions where produced, when mixed in the foregoing proportions, is fairly attractive.
Sirup made by dissolving one part of ordinary brown sugar in four parts of water and allowing the mixture to stand a day or two to induce fermentation is almost equal to molasses and water as a fly bait. If it is desirable to use the sirup immediately after making it, a small amount of vinegar should be added. Honeybees are sometimes caught in large numbers by this bait. When this happens some of the other bait recommended should be used. On dairy farms probably milk is next choice as a bait to cane-molasses solution, considering its convenience. The curd from milk with about one-half part of brown sugar added to each pound, and water to make it thoroughly moist, is a very good bait and continues to be attractive for ten days or longer if kept moist. A mash of bran made quite thin with a mixture of equal parts of water and milk and with a few tablespoonfuls of brown sugar and cornstarch and a yeast cake added makes an attractive and lasting bait. The foregoing baites are rendered more attractive by stirring occasionally.
Certain other mixtures may also be utilized. A packing-house product known as blood tankage, with molasses and water, is a good bait to use where both blowfiles and house files are abundant.
The size of the bait container in relation to the size of the trap is a very important consideration. It has been found that a small pan or a deep pan of bait set in the center under a trap will catch only a small fraction of the number of files secured by using larger, shallow containers. The best and most convenient pan for bait is a shallow circular tin, such as the cover of a lard bucket. For liquid balts the catch can be increased slightly by placing a piece of sponge or a few chips in the center of the bait pan to provide additional surface upon which the files may alight.
HOW TO CLEAN TIN UTENSILS
Vessels Should Be Washed Thoroughly
In Hot, Soapy Water and Then
Dried Thoroughly.
For ordinary care, tin utensils should
be washed in hot soapy water, rinsed
in hot clean water, and dried thoroughly,
according to the United States Department of Agriculture. A tin utensil that has food dried on it should be covered with a weak soda solution,
heated for a few minutes, and then washed. Scraping scratches tin and may expose the iron or steel surface underneath, which may rust. Tin darkens with use, and this tarnish protects the tin; therefore tin utensils should not be scoured simply for the sake of making them bright.
Back from a sizzling tour through the state in which they flayed their opponents nine times out of fourteen starts, the strong Askin-Marine Red Socks (Colored) are home again in Minneapolis.
On June 3 they shut out the strong Moorhead team, 1-0, and came right back on the 5th and beat them again, 3-2. They fell upon Parham on June 8 for an 8-4 victory, but run into a reverse at Park Rapids on June 9, being beaten, 2-1. Alexandria was brushed aside June 10, 3-2, but at Palican Rapids they did their stuff 9-6. Cass Lake put another one over before the boys got their breath, but they tied up the game the next day, 4-4.
Sunday, June 24, they tackle the strong Robbinsdale team in Robbinsdale. Take the Robbinsdale car to the end of the car line if you want to see this really strong team "do their Jones."

Politics is "Old Bird" Many New Prospects Seen
Oscar De Priest Is Thought Good Prospect for First Race Congressman.
By Participator
Chicago, Ill., June 22.—A politician is a bird who is neither rare nor eatable. The political game is a game where everybody goes broke, finally, but the fame. Just now it is being played in this big city by the lake with a gusto that is infectious of not truly wholesome. There appears to be a lively show of jockeying for position and a very general disposition to lay everything on the table but the cards. What few cards there are to see are turned face down with no one standing by with pluck enough to turn them face up. But the 1924 campaign is but a few months away and the remembrance of this fact is causing some uneasiness among the wise ones and consequently there is coming to the fore an inclination to give at least a mild inquiry into what may be the possibilities in store for the judicious and the faithful.
Men, Not Measures Discussed
As usual, men, not measures are the more generally discussed. Who'll be what and what will be who are the centers of special interest. Will Oscar DePriest succeed Martin B. Madden in Congress? "Yes," is the answer, "If Louis B. Anderson, 'Fighting Bob' Jackson, 'Statesman' Adelbert H. Roberts, 'Receptive' Edward H. Morris, 'Special Attorney' Edward H. Wright and the thousand and one 'Me-to-Als' should happen to die and be buried between now and primary time."
Another view advanced is that DePriest, who is making the most noise just now about going to Congress, is playing the role of a stalking horse who is merely in the race to muddy the political waters and thereby make it conventionally easy for the Honorable Martin B. Madden to return to the lower national house on the back of the time-honored tradition that "the time is not ripe for a colored man to represent the rich 1st district in Congress."
Colored Leaders Divided.
There may be a large measure of truth in this last statement. One thing is certain, the colored leaders are not likely to get behind any particular colored man and push him for the nomination. Each one has his own lightning rod rigged and put up full ready to receive the bolt when it comes out of the political sky. No one is better posted on the real situation than the wily Martin B. himself, who stands in the offing laughing up his left sleeve and patiently waiting for the call to once again "stand by the race" as the representative from the 1st Illinois district. This call is as sure to be his as the day follows the night.
But the most astounding thing about the whole situation is the rapid growth of the aforesaid DePriest from the role of an ordinary ward politician to the status of a national political figure. We have it on good authority that he has been visiting the national capitol and hobnobbing with the President himself. It is reported he has announced that he has told "Warren where he got off at" more than once during the past two years. This is important if true. It probably isn't true. But it is "big town stuff" and affords the redoubtable ex-alderman a good opportunity to "stalk" for his political benefactor by announcing his intention to stand for the congressional nomination in the First Congressional district.
The General Political Situation.
The General Political Situation. The more general political situation is included in the continuance of the past few years' fight for the control of the local Republican organization. The one time powerful Thompson machine has gone to the four corners of the city. Attempts have been made and are still being put forth to bring about alignments that will create a new machine. The open fight that the colored voters made on the Chicago Tribune and the Senator McCormick influences is still fresh in the minds of the political wisecases and it makes for a somewhat clouded confusion of the political situation. Many are declaring that this defection is deep seated enough to take the State out of the Republican column if the Tribune and Senator McCormick continue to be dominating influences in the councils of the Republican party in Illinois. That remains to be seen. It promises to be a hot fight while it lasts. But say you, maybe it will and maybe it
