CITIZENS OF STA Urges That Legislative Acts Be Sought All the People Without Regulations The Governor Would Discourage to Needlessly Cumber Statut LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 6.—A comprehensive program dealing with criminals and parole legislation, soldier relief, agriculture, and more stringent regulations governing the sale of securities were among the things outlined by Governor Samuel R. McKelvie in his message to the legislature this afternoon. The governor reported that departments organized under the civil administrative code had saved $135,644.80, which would be returned to the various funds at the end of the biennium. It was asserted that this is the first time in years that the cost of government in these departments has been kept within the appropriations made by the legislature. Governor McKelvie urged that just as few new laws be enacted as possible, stating that "our statute books are encumbered now with laws that are obsolete and unenforceable." He also urged that "our legislative acts be stimulated by a desire to serve all the people without regard to class, race or creed. We must constantly bear in mind," he said, "that regardless of vocation, station or religion, there exists among us a bond of interdependence which means that when an imposition is worked upon the least of us, the ills that result are felt by the rest of us." Law Enforcement Legislation The governor would change the parole law so that only first offenders could be paroled, and he would leave it to the courts whether the sentence should be determinate or indeterminate. He would also remove from the list of parolable offenses all crimes or attempts at crime against the person, especially crimes against women. Formal applications for parole would have to be made in writing, and all hearings of the board of pardons and paroles would be public. It was recommended that capital punishment be abolished, but that no one should be permitted to alter the sentence of the court for such crimes. It was a very remarkable fact, however, that of those on parole during the last biennium, only 6 per cent violated their paroles by committing other offenses, which is believed to be the smallest percentage of parole violations in the history of the state. The governor presented the following table, showing the number of pardons issued during the two-year periods for the last ten years, indicating the small number of paroles that have been made during the last two years: 1911-1913-1915-1917-1919- 1912 1914 1916 1918 1920 Pardons ... 32 2 1 3 3 Commuta- tions ... 16 2 3 13 4 Furloughs 1 37 30 23 12 Paroles ... 114 361 428 590 306 In order that first offenders might not be imprisoned with hardened crim- inals, it was recommended that a re- formatory be built. The governor recommended that the use of prison labor on the roads be extended. Out of the 103 men so employed last year, only four attempted to escape. It was recommended that a bureau of investigation be established in the department of justice, along the same lines as the federal government pro- vides. For Soldier Relief Important recommendations which will interest every former soldier are that loans be fade to ex-service men and women for the building of homes. The governor recommended that the school lands of the state be sold and THE MONITOR A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS Governor S. R. McKelvie the money turned into this fund. It was also recommended that more ade- quate provision be made for former soldiers who are ill or incapacitated. An Agricultural Program The recommendations dealing with agriculture were largely secured through conferences with various groups of farmers, just as other recommendations were fade as the result of public conferences held at the state house the last month. Among the recommendations dealing with agriculture are the following: That no concern be permitted to use the term "co-operative" unless it is organized under and within the cooperative laws of Nebraska. Organization of banks on a purely co-operative basis should be legalized. That further encouragement be given to county farm bureaus. Securities and Banking The governor gave attention to the sale of securities in this state. "After securities have been legitimately sold under the authority of the state, it is not unusual that companies have been systematically robbed from within," said the governor. "Consequently, if the state is going to assume responsibility in these matters, it is just as important that it should be given authority over the conduct of these concerns after they are organized as it is to authorize the sale of their securities." Among the recommendations for a law regulating insurance companies was one requiring insurance companies organized under the laws of the state "to have as executive officers ones who are known to be capable of running the affairs of an insurance company." Labor and Legislation The governor, in his message, pointed out that the amount of money paid to injured employees under the workman's compensation law has grown from $51,167 in 1915 to $540,213 in 1920. It was recommended that employees in the public service have the same protection under the act as those that are now employed in private industries. It was also recommended that occupational diseases should be made compensable. In regard to the matter of the establishment of an industrial court, the governor said that he was "not prepared to recommend such legislation at this time, unless such a body should be provided to sit in a purely inquisitorial capacity. Child Welfare The governor gave attention to child welfare and recommended that a special committee be created upon this THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, JANUARY 19 WARD STILL B A Large Audience Present at Dedicatory Exercises Sunday Afternoon—Impossible for All to Gain Admittance. GREAT INTEREST IS SHOWN An assemblage numbering more than 500 persons attended the formal opening and dedication of the colored branch of the Young Women's Christian association building last Sunday afternoon. Neither the spacious auditorium nor the adjacent rooms into which the people crowded would accommodate the throng. Many were unable to gain admittance. The program as published in last week's Monitor was carried out with a few minor changes. Miss Frankie B. Watkins, secretary of the branch, in a brief, well-chosen address stated the objects and program of the association, what the newly established center hoped to accomplish, voiced gratitude to all who had worked for the establishing and housing of the center, expressed the heart-felt joy that all felt for the fruition of their hopes and the answer to their prayers. She then presented the Rev. W. F. Botts, who presided. Responsive reading was led by the Rev. Thomas A. Taggart, a violin solo was given by Miss Evelyn Battles, responsive prayers were read by the Rev. Russel Taylor, Mrs. Cecelia Jewell sang with great effect a solo, the Rev. John Albert Williams delivered the dedicatory address, Bishop Shayler and Mrs. Carrie Ada Campbell spoke earnest words of greeting. PLANNING SPECIAL TRAIN FOR THE INAUGURATION Proposed to Assemble Company From Far West and Middle West Points Which Will Have Solid Pullman Train to National Capital. (By the Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Jan. 6.—There is an effort being made to assemble an entire train of Pullmans in Chicago to be taken on from here as a special to the inauguration in Washington March 4. The movement is under the direction of R. L. Mays and promises to be successful. Mr. Mays is president of the Railway Men's International Industrial and Benevolent association. The plan as outlined is to make up special parties in Oklahoma. Arkansas, California, Minnesota, also Denver, Omaha, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Kansas City and other points, and for all to meet in Chicago on a certain date, probably March 2, and the special train to go from here. It is planned to have a train of solid Pullmans, with baggage and dining cars. Short stops are contemplated at Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Harper's Ferry en route. At Harper's Ferry, made famous by John Brown, there will be a visit to the historic spot and a short program. The train when made up will be given a name fitting for the occasion, "Inauguration Special," "Liberty Special," or something to demonstrate both the progressiveness and determination of colored Americans. This special train is set aside for the contemplated plans for taking the Eighth regiment to the inauguration. subject in each branch of the legislature. Taxation. The governor stated that he would not recommend a complete revision of the tax laws of the state at this session. However, it was recommended that the office of tax commissioner, as provided for in the amendment to the constitution, be set up for operation The Direct Primary. The governor cals attention to the fact that there is as much danger of minority groups from without controlling political parties, by uniting on a certain candidate, as there was in the old system of political machines. "We must have primary nominating conventions," the governor says, "to select one candidate for each of the several offices, but leaving the primary open to all other entrants who may not have permitted their names to go before the nominating convention, or we must have two primaries, the first to be an elimination primary out of which two candidates only would be chosen, subject to nomination in the second primarp." FORMAL OPENING OF Taxation. Plans for the Elghth are under way, but have not been fully consummated. It will cost several thousand dollars to transport the regiment, but many people feel that the effect for good would be such that every person should be willing to help with the expense. Colonel Otis Duncan is in charge of the regiment. DISFRANCHISEMENT TO BE AIRED IN CONGRESS (By the Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—Charges that many in the southern states are not permitted to vote will be aired by the house census committee in considering the reapportionment bill, it was announced by Chairman Siegel. A number of organizations and individuals have asked permission to present evidence that in many localities Negroes are coerced, Mr. Siegel said, and the committee will devote several days after the holidays in hearing such complaints. House republicans in caucus refused to approve the Tinkham resolution providing for an investigation of alleged disfranchisement with a view to cutting down the representation of southern states. Mr. Siegel said, however, that no reapportionment bill would be reported to the house by his committee until hearings had been held. A meeting of the committee has been called at which, it is expected, a decision will be reached as to the extent of the increase in house membership. A bill already introduced by Mr. Siegel calls for 483 members—an increase of forty-eight, over the present membership. COURT APPROVES ORGANIZATION (By the Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Supreme Court Justice Henry D. Hotchkiss approved the organization and incorporation of the Fifteenth Infantry Regiment Armory Committee of the Equity Congress of Greater New York, co-operating with the Citizens' Committee, Inc., "for the purpose of erecting an armory or other suitable building or buildings in honor of the A. E. F. veterans of the Fifteenth infantry, and also establishing a memorial to all soldiers and sailors of the United States army and navy, of all wars, beginning with the American revolution. HOME FOR GIRLS OPENED (By the Associated Negro Press) SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 6.—A new home for the relief of colored girls has opened and is ready for occupancy in Twenty-first avenue. The home will be conducted under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. JAZZ PASSING SAYS TEACHER CHICAGO, Jan. 6.—The muted trombone and cornet, the syncopated music and the jazz band have had their day, according to Robert G. McCutcheon, head of the fine arts school of De Pauw university and secretary of the National Association of Music Teachers. "Jazz was born of the war," said Mr. McCutcheon. "It was an echo of the nation's hysteria. It came in on the wave of the dancing craze, but it is fast being abandoned in favor of good music." GRANT OF $125,000 IS (By the Associated Negro Press) KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 6.—The General Education Board, with headquarters in New York City, has recently made a grant of $125,000 toward a total of $500,000 which is now being raised for endowment for Knoxville college. One year ago plans were made through the New World Movement of the United Presbyterian church for raising half a million dollars for endowment for Knoxville college. Approximately two-thirds of this money has been raised in addition to the $125,000 which has been granted by the General Education Board. This is the largest grant that has ever been made, it is said, to any educational institution under the United Presbyterian church from sources outside the denomination. Knoxville college was founded in 1876 and has been working for higher education for more than forty years. Vol. VI.

Hall WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 6.—Although there are rumors to the effect that certain groups of women voters and organizers, some of whom are voteless, are preparing two or three slates, nothing of an authentic nature has yet reached the public, and as far as the men are concerned there seems to be a disposition not to mention, above a whisper, the possibility or even the probability of any women of our group being appointed to responsible positions by the incoming administration. But this attitude of the men is thought to be largely due to selfishness. Surely the political desires, if any, of such splendid women as Miss Hallie Q. Brown, president of the Women's Federation, Miss Nannie Burroughs, Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Mrs. Laura A. Brown, Wrs. W. T. Francis, Miss Jeanneette Carter, Mrs. Mary Talbert, Mrs. M. L. Gray, Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson, Mrs. Thomas Fleming Mrs. Jessie Lawson, Mrs. Mary Church Terrrell, Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett, Mrs. J. H. Porter, Mrs. Minnie Scott, Dr Mary Waring, Mrs. Ida B. Harris, Mrs. Charlotte Dett, Mrs. Nellie Broadnax Mrs. Bessie Jones and Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley, should be carefully considered and their plans for constructive work aided. Women's Clubs a Factor The Federation of Women's Clubs has long been a factor in the development of racial ideals and the president. Mrs. Hallie Q. Brown of Wilberforce, whose name was prominently mentioned in connection with the advisory committee of the Republican National Executive Committee, rendered signal service during the campaign, as did also Mrs. Monen L. Gray, chairman of the Negro Women's National Republican League, Inc. It is claimed that Mrs. Gray organized the women in forty states. Then there is Mrs. Fleming, Miss Jeannette Carter, Mrs. A. M. Curtis, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Miss Nannie Burroughs and Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson, whose speeches and organization work entitle them to consideration. These women who are in perfect accord and who are working in complete harmony are not obligated to the men, and that there is a feeling of dissatisfaction because of the indifference of the men was clearly indicated by a lady who said to me, "Well, I see by the newspapers that you men are working overtime fixing up a slate for the approval of our next president, and as usual, the women are entirely overlooked regardless of the fact that we worked just as hard as you men for the success of the ticket." Women Object to Apologists When I remarked that it was my impression that our women voters were organized and were prepared to look after their own political affairs the lady startled me with the assertion, "Whether we are organized or not we do not propose to let some of the apologists, trimmers and political short-change artists whose names I recently saw prominently mentioned in the newspapers get a chance to sell the race for a mess of crumbs, and furthermore, I am surprised that the newspapers even printed several of the names in connection with jobs other than such as custodians or janitors in bonded warehouses where they would be quite contented, if not happy. And another thing I might say right here: we do not propose to let the race women who live, or loaf in the nation's capital hog all of the good LIFTING. LIFT, TOO! things that are handed out. We vote in the states and in a showdown, especially during this run of shad, you will find it's the voters who will be given first consideration." Judging from the above line of talk, it would appear that there is something rotten in Denmark and that several of the men, concerning whose political aspirations there have been insistent ruroms, had better hire the "Gold Dust Twins" to polish up their records in private and public life, because some of them will surely be up against it if the women tell all they know about them. There was a time when all of us men could stand together and put most anything or anybody over, but, brother, that day passed when the prohibition and women's suffrage amendments became laws of the land. Positions Women Would Prefer Certainly the women are entitled to everything they can get, but it is not probable that they will care to do the hard work of a register of the treasury, or recorder of Deeds, or even go to Haiti or Liberia, places that are now being contended for, if rumors are correct, by some very distinguished and notorious politicians. They will probably prefer such positions as clerks and special agents in the children's-bureau and in the women in industry service where they can study the conditions surrounding our children, and the conditions under which the women of our race are employed in the factories. Then there is the bureau of education where it might be possible for a very efficient woman to function as a special investigator of the school facilities afforded colored children throughout the country, and if Dr. George E. Haynes is successful in getting an appropriation for the Division of Negro Economic in the Department of Labor there will doubtless be places for several trained women. It is almost certain that the influential men who had charge of the campaign among our group will not falter, if called upon to render service to the ladies, if they will only put the soft pedal on the happenings of presuffrage days. In fact, the question now worrying us is: What else can the poor men do? AT BENNETT COLLEGE (By the Associated Negro Press) GREENSBORO, N. C., Jan. 6.—Fire of unknown origin completely gutted the interior of Carolina Hall, a four-story brick building of Bennett college. The building was used as a boys' dormitory. Only the brick walls were left standing. To rebuild a similar structure it is estimated the cost would approximate between $35,000 and $40,000. Dr. Frank Trigg, president of Bennett college, stated that he was unable to make an estimate of the loss incurred. Students in the hall first noticed smoke coming from the attic. President Trigg was immediately notified and the alarm was given. No serious injuries were sustained by anyone. FIGHT SEGREGATION OF PUPILS TOLEDO, O., Jan. 6.—Charges have been prefired against the local school authorities which claim that the Negro pupils in the Industrial Heights were being segregated by the principal of the school.

Ladeuse in his communteation says: “It is impossible that the com mittee of the United’ States should Bot carry out successfully the plan which it has swemuly begun,” and adds: “Article 247 of the treaty of Ver sallles suys ‘that Germany pledges herself to furnish to the University #1 Louvain within three months following the time that demand will be made of her by the reparation commission manuscripts, Incunabula, printed books, maps and rare objects corre- *pouding in number and value to sim- flar objects destroyed in the fire set by Germany in the Louvain library.” It ts simply a question of the execu- tlon of this article. “gince the Germans are pledged to deliver to us books, manuscripts, ete., corresponding in number and value to those which we had, we. have beep obliged to make a declaration as to what we had. We have, then, furnished lists of the books, manuscripts and in- cunabula which were burned on the 26th of August, 1914, but it has been impossible for us to furnish complete Usts since all of the catalogues were also burned in the fire, Value Fixed at 5,000,000 France. “Therefore in order to establish a record of all that which we bad and which ought to be returned to us we have been obliged to resort to general terms to fix an estimate of the value of our books” manuscripts, ete. ‘The Germans have recognized that this “value can be fixed at 5,000,000 franes, “They will be obliged then to deliver to us: “(1) Books which we can prove were fm our brary, and (2) other books tm eagprdance with our needs so that the total value of the two categories ef books which they will deliver to us shall amount to about 5,000,000 francs, “I say ‘about’ because in that figure ‘are also included the rare objects that were burned, “It 1s 4 question of a simple state- ment of the German obligation. And, you see, in all this there is not a cen- time for the building of the Mbrary which your committee has been good enough to ask us to reserve to it.

TRUSTEES OF ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH DEFEND THE PASTOR, REV. W. C. WILLIAMS Deny Every Allegation Set Forth in Petition Filed in District Court by H. J. Pinkett In answer to the untruthful, unfounded, cowardly attack which H. J. Pinkett makes against the Rev. W. C. Williams, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church, the Board of Trustees of said church desire to make the following statement: H. J. Pinkett served as trustee of this church during the time of the erection of the factory, built by St. John's church and rented to the M. E. Smith company, which has been in operation for more than a year, employing between 50 and 60 colored girls and women. In this capacity he concurred in and endorsed every transaction made by the pastor and board, relative to the proposition and has on several occasions both verbally and in writing, publicly endorsed the project. Because of his recent antagonism to the pastor, and his failure to satisfactorily discharge the duties of his office as trustee, he was asked several weeks ago for his resignation from the board and summoned to appear at a church conference to be held January 5, 1921, at which time action on his case would be taken. The petition as filed in district court is simply a revengeful, vindictive, malicious, highly colored distortment of the facts in the case, in an effort to discredit the pastor of this church, Rev. W. C. Williams, and to retard, if possible, the erection of a new church for this congregation, the campaign for which is now on. Not one single allegation as set forth in the petition is true. He can produce no witnesses or documents to substantiate a single charge which he has made. (1) The congregation has no quarrel with the pastor. (2) Rev. Williams has never handled a single dollar of the funds of this church during his pastorate in this city. (3) The Trustees—not the pastor—were empowered to build the factory. (4) The church did not put $6,000.00 into the property. (5) The Rev. W. C. Williams did not mortgage the property for $2,000.00—there is not and never has been any such mortgage against the property. (6) Rev. Williams was not paid $800.00 for his work. (7) Mr. Finkett in his petition claims to have raised $1,000.00, during the twenty months for St. John's church. A year ago the Trustee Board gave Mr. Pinkett permission and official stationery to solicit funds for the building fund of the church. Up to date, he has failed to turn in a single five-cent piece of the funds which he may have collected. These are the facts; During the summer of 1919 the M. E. Smith Co. approached Rev. W. C. Williams with a plan for the establishment of a factory which would employ a large number of colored girls and women, if a suitable location could be secured and a building erected. Rev. Williams presented the proposition to the church. The church accepted the proposition and empowered the trustees to build the factory. Rev. Mr. Williams was empowered to complete negotiations and superintend the erection of said building. The ground was bought in the name of Rev. Williams for the sum of $2,800.00 from the Independent Realty Co. of this city. One thousand dollars was paid down—the balance of $1,800.00 to become due in one year and six months. This $1,800.00 constitutes the entire indebtedness on the property. The cost of the erection of the factory was, in round figures, $6,432.37. Adding to this the $1,000.00 for the lot, the total amount expended in the transaction was $7,432.37. Of this amount St. John's church furnished $4,067.37. Rev. Williams paid into the treasury of the Trustee Board the following amounts and on these specific dates: 1919—Oct. 16, $500.00; Oct. 14, $215; Oct. 23, $150.00; Oct. 23, $150.00; Oct. 28, $2,000.00; Oct. 30, $500.00; total, $3,365.00. On December 1, 1919, at the regular monthly meeting of the Trustee Board of St. John's church, all members be present, Mr. Pinkett included, the board voted unanimously to allow Rev. Williams $702.00 for his services as supervisor of the construction of the building (Mr. Pinkett heartily endorsed the action), this amount equaling the difference between the amount of cash invested by the church and the amount of money which Rev. Williams had put in the property. At the same meeting Rev. Williams presented to the board for their inspection, a promissory note executed by himself to the M. F. Smith Co. The M. E. Smith Co. agreed to rent the factory at a monthly rental of $200.00 per month for a term of two years, with an option of a further period of three years at a rental of $2,000.00 per annum. The church has received its monthly rental of $100.00 for every month since December, '19. The $100.00 share of the rental due Rev. Williams on his half interest in the factory, is withheld by the M. E. Smith Co. and applied upon the personal note given them by the pastor. Rev. Williams also executed in April, 1920, a warranty deed, conveying to St. John's church an undivided one-half interest in lots 15 and 16, block 7, Patrick's Second Addition. All instruments of conveyance, contracts, and documents relative to the factory are in the hands of the secretary of the Board of Trustees of St. John's church. The laws of the African Methodist church require an audit of all books of the official boards and the various auxiliaries quarterly at a conference presided over by the presiding elder of the district. This has been done at St. John's A. M. E. church. These meetings are open to the membership of the church. There has been no misappropriation of the funds of the church by the pastor, Rev. W. C. Williams. The official boards of the church have the fullest confidence in the honesty and integrity of the pastor; they have endorsed in toto all his official acts and are prepared to support and defend him against these untrue statements as made by H. J. Pinkett. Respectfully submitted. BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF ST JOHN'S A. M. E.

Drain, and when cool serve with the following salad dressing: Cream Salad Dressing. 1 cupful cream (sour 2 tablespoonfuls vinegar or sweet). ½ cupful tomato cat- 2 tablespoonfuls sugar. 2 tablespoonfuls sal- 1 teaspoonful salt ad oil. Mix the oll, salt, sugar and vinegar together, then beat in the catsup and finally add the cream, beating it in gradually. If lettuce is not available on which to serve the salad, a crisp leaf from a cabbage heart is a good substitute. A small can of spinach, chard or beet tops will serve seven or eight people if it is made into a loaf combined with rice or bread crumbs. Asparagus or string beans are also good served this way. 1 can chopped spin- 2 cupfuls white ach. sauce. 4 cupfuls boiled rice. 1 red pepper. Make a thick white sauce of two cupfuls of milk, four tablespoonfuls of flour, four tablespoonfuls of butter and one teaspoonful of salt. Melt fat and mix with flour, add to milk and stir over fire until it thickens. Mix with the rice, chopped spinach and pepper. Form into a loaf and bake 20 or 30 minutes. NOT DIFFICULT TASK TO DESTROY ROACHES Use of Sodium Fluorid Is Simple and Effective Plan. Obnoxious Insects Can Be Completely Exterminated With Little Trouble and Expense by Dusting With This Substance. One of the most effective and simple means of ridding premises of roaches is dusting with commercial sodium fluorid, either pure or diluted one-half with some inert substance such as powdered gypsum or flour. This remedy is one recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture. Numerous practical tests conducted in lunchrooms, bakeries, milk-bottle exchanges, etc., have shown that with the use of this substance roaches can be completely exterminated with very little trouble and cost and with none of the possible dangers attending the use of hydrocyanic-acid gas, another efficient means of control. With the use of some dust gun or blower the sodium fluorid can be thoroughly dusted over the shelves, tables, floors and the runways and hiding places of the roaches. The immediate effect of the powder is to cause these insects to come out of their retreats and rush about more or less blindly, showing evidence of discomfort, to be followed in the course of a few hours by their death. The dead or paralyzed roaches can be swept up and burned, and complete extermination is effected within 24 hours. It is not definitely known whether the sodium acts through the breathing pores or as a stomach poison. Probably, however, it acts in both ways, inasmuch as it has been found to kill caterpillars fed on foliage dusted with it. IMPORTANCE OF HOT LUNCHES 1940 Pupils Eating Lunch at Their Desks in Rural School. Teachers and parents are commencing to realize the importance of hot school lunches, and the home-demonstration agents sent out by the United States Department of Agriculture and the state colleges are helping to establish hot lunches in communities which are awake to their value. Last year these extension workers, who are trained in home economics, helped establish hot lunches in 2,929 schools. The work will be continued this year on an even larger scale. In some counties a wall of prejudice against the innovation has to be broken down before it can be started. Where this is true, the success of the hot lunch in one school, where it has been established, is usually followed by a demand for something similar in all the adjacent schools. PREPARING LATE WINTER DISHES Some New and Excellent Recipes Given to Tempt Languid Spring Appetites. VEGETABLES ARE NEGESSARY Formulas Tried Out in Home Economies Kitchen of Department of Agriculture for Stored and Canned Garden Products. Every housekeeper knows that by the last of February or first of March the average family is tired of winter vegetables, and yet vegetables are just as necessary in the spring diet, if not more so, than in the diet of any other season. So the clever cook uses new recipes for the stored and canned products of the garden and in that way tempts the languld spring appetites. The following recipes are recommended by the experiment kitchen of the United States Department of Agriculture; Tomato Toast Rub one quart of stewed tomatoes through a strainer. Return to stewpan and, if not already seasoned, add two level teaspoonfuls of salt, half a teaspoonful of pepper and two tablespoonfuls of butter. Place on the fire and cook five minutes. Have the bottom of a hot platter covered with well-toasted slices of bread and pour the hot tomato over it. Place a dropped or poached egg on each slice of toast and serve at once. Puree of Cabbage and Potatoes. 1 pint boiled finely- drippings. minced cabbage. 2 teaspoonful salt. 6 medium-sized ½ pint hot milk. potatoes. ½ teaspoonful peper. 2 tablespoonfuls of per. Peel the potatoes and put them in a stewpan with boiling water enough to cover them. Cook just 30 minutes. Pour off the water and mash fine and light. Beat in the hot milk, seasoning, and cabbage. Cook about five minutes longer. Navy Bean Salad. Soak beans overnight in plenty of cold water. In the morning pour off the water and put the beans in a steep pan with cold water enough to cover A woman is sewing a dress. Even Potatoes Taste Like a New Vegetable When Prepared in a New Way. them generously. Let them come to the boiling point in this water, then drain. If the beans are old and hard, for each quart put a piece of soda about the size of a large bean in the water in which they are soaked overnight, also in the first water in which they are boiled. The scalded and drained beans should be put back in the stewpan and covered generously with boiling water. Add one tablespoonful of salt for one Cream Salad Dressing. Spinach Loaf. RABBIT SALAD To each cupful of diced cooked rabbit meat add one-half cupful celery and one-fourth cupful salad dressing, one-half teaspoonful salt, and a few grains of cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly and pour into salad bowl lined with lettuce. Put one or two tablespoonfuls of dressing on top and garnish with strings of green and red pepper. Either a mayonnaise or a boiled dressing can be used for this salad. 10 Records given free with every CABINET GRAFANOLA for a period of Sixty Days. Terms to suit. Q Street Pharmacy 4 Q Sts.

THE ASSOCIATED NURO PRESS MEMBER OF FIRST IN SERVICE GOV. McKELVIE'S MESSAGE THOSE who, largely for personal reasons, are opposed to Governor McKelvie and would belittle him for lack of constructive statesmanship, can find nothing to support their position in his able, clear-cut and broad-visioned message to the legislature. He presents a well-considered and comprehensive program which, if carried out, will advance the best interests of the state. His utterances on law enforcement legislation are wise. He is perfectly right in maintaining that there are already too many obsolete and unenforceable laws upon the statute books. Fewer laws, with rigid and fearless enforcement of the same, are needed. The message gives light upon the parole system and recommends reform. The agricultural program advocated by Governor McKelvie will commend itself to the farming interests. The recommended soldier relief is admirable. His plan for child welfare and his views upon the direct primary are to be commended. Taken as a whole Governor McKelvie's message is a statesmanlike document which will win the commendation of the people of Nebraska. FOR OUR GIRLS THE opening of the Colored Branch of the Y. W. C. A. is a subject of congratulation to all the citizens of Omaha. The Monitor rejoices that this helpful agency, long-needed, is in active operation. We would that our Christianity were real enough and our democracy broad enough to make such special institutions for social uplift unnecessary, or, in other words, we would that all institutions would admit all who need their ministrations to full privileges regardless of race, creed or color. Since, however, that is not so, we are grateful that provisions are made for advantages for our kids and women in an institution of this character which would be otherwise denied them. The center has opened auspiciously. We predict for it great success. We know it will be fully appreciated. We bespeak for it hearty support. Whatever The Monitor can do to help in the work so well begun that we shall gladly and willingly do. SUSPEND JUDGMENT AN unfortunate controversy has arisen between the pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church, the Rev. W. C. Williams, and Attorney H. J. Pinkett, which has been carried into the courts. The Monitor as a newspaper carries as a news item the facts as alleged in the suit filed by the attorney against the minister. An official signed statement from the board of St. John's church is also published in our columns. Naturally, there will be a disposition to take sides in this controversy. Feeling pro and con will doubtless run high. The Monitor advises that the public suspend judgment until the case is tried in the courts and the evidence on both sides is in. The place to decide charges of this character is not in the press, nor in the pulpit, nor on the streets, but in the courts. Until the evidence is in, it is wise to suspend judgment. THE MONITOR GRATEFUL THIS is our first issue of the year. We therefore take this opportunity to thank our patrons, subscribers and advertisers, for their hearty co-operation and support during the past year and to bespeak their continued patronage for the year upon which we have just entered. The Monitor, while conscious of many faults and imperfections, is proud of the place it has won and held among the weekly newspapers of the country which are wielding such a tremendous influence for good among our race. Our newspapers are being read as never before, not only by our own people, but by thoughtful people of the other group who, as students of social and economic conditions, realize that the thoughts and activities of such a large ethnic group as our own is worthy of attention and study. Journalism among us has become a recognized power. The need for strong well-edited, fearless journals to champion the rights of our people is apparent to all. Critics and contemporaries recognize The Monitor as holding high rank among such a group of newspapers. We are proud of the place we hold and shall do all in our power to deserve and maintain it. We are gratified at the confidence placed in us by the people who look to us for guidance and leadership and we will never willingly or knowingly do anything to betray that confidence. What we believe to be right that we shall fearlessly maintain. What we believe to be wrong we shall with equal fearlessness condemn. Our desire is to serve better in the future than in the past. With increased support we shall be able to add many features to our publication. A WORD ABOUT COST FEW of our readers realize the anxiety and strain placed upon newspapers during the past year. It has meant for nearly all papers, even those who were heavily capitalized, a struggle for existence. The cost of publication increased enormously. For example, the cost of print paper increased 400 per cent. Everything else entering into the publishing business advanced at a corresponding ratio. Is it any wonder that many newspapers were compelled to suspend? Fortunately, The Monitor was able to survive, although we are frank to confess that we had to struggle hard for an existence. We take our readers into our confidence now because we believe that they will realize the necessity of paying their subscriptions promptly, cheerfully and gladly. We want you to know that it costs money to publish The Monitor and that we must rely upon our patrons to supply it by paying their subscriptions promptly and by helping to increase the demand for our publication as an advertising medium. NEED NEVER GREATER AT no time in our history has there been more imperative need for frank, fearless and sane newspapers to champion the rights of our people than now. A subtle and sinister propaganda, heavily subsidized, to discredit us and limit our constitutional rights as now and has been at work. Working by a secret organization, under another name in the north and west for some months, seeking, and in some cases successfully, to foment strife between the races, this monster of iniquity has at last with brazen EUFAULA (Pronounced U-FALL-ER) BEAUTY PREPARATIONS The World's Fountain of Beauty Secrets FOR SALE AT E.

THE MONITOR effrontery come out into the open under the name of the Ku Klux Klan with the avowed purpose of maintaining not Americanism, nor democracy but "White Supremacy." The evil designs of this organization, wholly foreign to the genius and spirit of America, must be fought with persistert and pitiless publicity. This is one of the tasks before our own journals. Nor will we be unaided in the fight. Representative dailies and magazines will be with us in this fight. Then, too, because of an effort upon the part of disciples of discontent to win our people over to their way of thinking, which means subversion of government, it is enjoined upon our race journals to give wise counsel and advice lest many be led to follow these vain delusions. The creation of a right and righteous public sentiment touching our full constitutional rights as citizens, which means the exercise of the franchise, the abolishment of Jim Crow cars, justice in the courts, liberal educational opportunities for our children, the suppression of lynching; the fighting of damaging and malicious propaganda; the exposure and condemnation of evil customs, practices and weaknesses among ourselves imminent to our best interests, and wise counsel and advice are the tasks placed upon our newspapers. The responsibility and opportunity for large and constructive service was never greater. SNYCOPATED SPASMS THE coal man is certainly cussing the weather, but he cusses alone. All summer long we have been squeezing out the nickles for the coal bin and the fact that the coal bin isn't going to take all the nickles that we saved is causing a gladsome shimmy clear down to our shell pink toes. There used to be a time when we thought that a Thanksgiving without snow and a Christmas without a blizzard were all to the dumps, but we have changed our minds. Ever since the coal barons have been boosting the price of coal and laughing at us up their sleeves, we have been praying for a time to come when we could give them the happy ha, ha, and the bye-bye noise. The time has came. Now the sun rises just as pleasant like in January as it does in July. Of course there are gloom hunters who walk around and tell us that a warm winter makes a fat graveyard, and we should worry. We have never discovered a graveyard that doesn't keep fat, so we should worry. The little old thermometer just outside the door can stick around to sixty above as long as its little heart desires. Its disposition doesn't make us feel a bit bad. The cusses of the coal man are music to our ears. He may have found out that he can get a hammerlock hold on coal prices, but he has certainly been taught that he can't get a grimmy grip on the weather Even the almanac makers have been disappointed. They predicted a winter that would freeze your liver and so solidify your vascular system that the blood corpuscles would be having skating parties every minute, but nothing doing. Half the time your liver is wondering when August is going to be over and the blood corpuscles are asking what in the yell you are wearing heavy-weight underwear for. We say again, it is tickling us. We are satisfied. This weather can stick around just as long as it wants to and it won't find us petitioning it to make a getaway. HARLEM STOCK EXCHANGE During the past few days every newspaper of any consequence in New York announced the birth of the Harlem Stock Exchange as one of the THE WEATHER greatest events in the history of colored people. The need of such a stabilizer for colored business has been recognized ever since colored men and women determined to run businesses of their own. The two drawbacks that have prevented our people from freely investing in stocks of colored corporations were the inability to secure definite information from a reliable source relative to the financial condition of any colored company, and the lack of trading facilities. Heretofore, once you purchased stock in a colored corporation, you could never dispose of same—there was no place to sell the stock. The advent of the Harlem Stock Exchange alters this situation entirely. A market is always provided for any stock listed on the exchange and arrangements are made that prices of the stocks of the corporation are always kept up and not run down or thrown on the market at any old price. The public is being given an opportunity to share in the profits made by the exchange and the running expenses being almost nil, the chances for large dividends in addition to the 8 per cent guarantee on the preferred stock are assured. Shares sell at $5 each. Many of the most influential colored men in the country are behind the movement, which is nation wide, and it behooves every colored person to get behind the movement to the best of his or her ability.

(By the Associated Negro Press DETROIT, Mich.. Jan. 6.—"It is high time for Americans to cease their practice of calling people of other nationalities 'Micks,' 'Chinks,' 'Niggers,' 'Wops' and 'Hunkies,'" said Dr. S. H. Clark of the University of Chicago, addressing the open forum, and putting down the habit as "impertinent Anglo-Saxon arrogance and superciliousness." "It was just rare good luck," he said, "our forefathers got a ship ahead of the other fellows. "I do not know how the California problem is to be solved, but I do know that without Japanese the desert would not be blossoming as a rose. I know that, class for class, the Japanese is our equal, and I believe the president of the National University of Japan is probably the intellectual equal of President Eliot of Harvard.

Fletcher, production manager. ATTORNEY FILES SUIT AGAINST MINISTER The Rev. W. C. Williams, Pastor of St. John's A. M. E. Church, is Charged by H. J: Pinkett With Crookedness in Factory Deal. AN ACCOUNTING IS DEMANDED Attorney Allges That His Pastor Has Taken One-Half Interest in Factory Built by Church Funds, but Entitled Only to One-Eighth Interest. Something of a sensation has been sprung here by the filing of a suit in the district court Monday against the Rev. William C. Williams, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church, by Harrison J. Pinkett, an attorney, member of the congregation, and until recently a member of the official board of the church, charging the pastor with the diversion of church funds to his own personal use. The petition alleges in substance that the church voted the sum of $6,050 to the Rev. Mr. Williams which was to be used by him in purchasing a site and erecting a factory which would give employment to girls and women. That the lots were purchased in the minister's name, not in the name of the congregation, and that about the time the factory was completed, the plaintiff alleges that Rev. Mr. Williams turned over to the church a warranty deed for a half interest in the property, whereas, it is asserted, he should have turned over seven-eighths of the plant, inasmuch as the defendant invested only $750 of his own money in the project, which was $50 less than the $800 he (Williams) received as his commission "as ENTERTAIN AT DINNER contractor and superintendent of the building." Pinkett demands an accounting from the Rev. Mr. Williams as to the disposition of funds entrusted to him by the church for investment. The factory is located at Twenty-fourth and Burdette streets and is leased by the M.E. Smith company. FUNERAL NOTICE The funeral of Cornelia Ann Hoag, who died December 30, 1920, was held at Silas Johnson's chapel Sunday afternoon at 2:30. Rev. Mr. Botts officiating.

MAKE ADRIATIC ITALIAN LAKE D'Annunzio's Ambition as Viewed by an Englishman. HAS FAR-REACHING VISION Sees Flume and Trieste the Gateways for Economic Penetration—Flume Merely the Nail Upon Which the Poet Hangs the Alluring Picture of an Italian Imperialism—He Has Given a New Voice to Italian Aspiration. The settlement of the Adriatic problem and the recognition of the independence of Flume, by the treaty of Santo Margherita, lends interest to a study of D'Annunzio and his ambition to extend Italian supremacy over the Adriatic, made by a correspondent of the London Times. Writing from Flume about the middle of October, he said: Gabriele D'Annunzio is a _sort of modern Cyrano de Bergerac, with a little more talent and a little less sense. The author of the "Journey to the Moon" lived in extravagant days, when fair ladies and poetic ideals were the things for which men fought. But D'Annunzio—as I took occasion to tell him—has abandoned women and song for Arditti and politics. "Higher politics," was the only correction he smilingly made, and perhaps he was right. For, however much one may condemn his methods and abhor his aims, there is no denying the far-reaching political effect of his words and deeds. He would be a negligible factor were it not that, as far as Italy is concerned, he has lifted the Adriatic question out of the sphere of diplomatic compromise and deluded his fellow countrymen into believing that the spoliation of Jugo-Slavia is a matter of national honor and of vital interest. The Italian government is really powerless, because D'Annunzio, having given a new voice to Latin aspiration, has so swayed the emotions of one of the most emotional of peoples that reason is dethroned and liberty and justice—for which the war was fought—are flouted. Let us see what it is that D'Annunzio wants, and why he wants it—for Flume is merely the nail on which he hangs the alluring picture of an Italian imperialism. First, in order to obtain complete Adriatic supremacy he seeks to extend the eastern frontier of Italy so as to include not only the whole of Gorizia, Gradisca and Istria, but considerable portions of Carnolo and Croatia, together with the islands of the Quarrenzo (Veglia and Cherso). He wishes Italy to retain Dahliain and the islands of the eastern coast, and some form of political suzerainty over a nominally independent Albania and Montenegro. This would leave Italy in control not only of Trieste and Flume, but of Zara, Sebenico, Spalato, Cattaro and all the other ports of the Adriatic. JugoSlavia would be virtually cut off from the sea and reduced to economic dependence upon Italy. Program Summed Up. D'Anunzio's whole program may be summed up in a few words: The aggrandizement of Italy and the abasement of Jugo-Slavia. The latter, he believes, will be retained by Italy's retaining Dalmatia and political hegemony over Montenegro and Albania. To illustrate the economic potentialities of what he claims as the new frontiers of Italy, he has prepared a very curious map. It is a map of the eastern half of Mittel-Europa, on which is traced a triangle: Trieste-Flume-Danzig-Constantinople. It shows very clearly that any one power controlling both Trieste and Flume, together with the railway junction of St. Peter in Carniola, which is immediately behind and equidistant from both of them, has an unrivaled gateway for penetration and expansion in Northern and Eastern Europe. St. Peter in Carniola, south of Leibach, is on the main line from Trieste to Vienna and Berlin, and the Orient express from London to Constantinople runs through it. It has splendid communications with Germany and Poland, with Czecho-Slovakia, Austria and Hungary, with Russia, the Ukraine, Transylvania, Roumania, Jugo-Slavia, Bulgaria and Constantinople. If Italy can retain both Trieste and Flume she will enjoy a monopoly of handling whatever portion of the import and export trade of this immense hinterland passes through the Adriatic. It is quite true that a great deal of this trade has already been diverted to ports of northwestern Europe, but the Adriatic route, which offers certain advantages, more especially, for imports and exports to Austria, Hungary and the Ukraine, is the natural and almost indispensable channel for Jugo-Slav trade. Both Bulgaria and Roumania furnished important and growing quantities of Adriatic business before the war. It is certain that, with Trieste in the hands of Italy, and Fiume as the Adriatic port of the Jugo-Slaws, there would be a healthy competition, which would be of the greatest economic benefit. One of the arguments most frequently put forward by D'Annunzio's supporters is that if Fiume was in any but Italian hands it would be able to compete with Trieste, whereas with both ports Italian, it will be possible for them to combine in order to control Adriatic trade. This leaves the interests of Venice out of the reckoning. Spurning the Jugo-Slays. Spurring the Jugo-Slavs. That the Croatian population of this part of the world should have any rights of self-determination is flatly denied by D'Annunzio on the ground that they fought against Italy in the war. D'Annunzio never tires of scouting at "the American prophet becoming virtuously indignant at the thought of a few thousand Slavs being placed under the rule of Italy, after millions of Germans have been handed over to Poland and Czecho-Slovakia, and millions of Hungarians to Jugo-Slavia, Czecho-Slovakia and Roumania." In Flume at least one hears very little of the high sounding phrases about the "will of the people" and their attachment to Italy. What one hears is talk about retaining Flume for Italy at all costs: "Salvare Flume, a qualunque costo!"—not because of Flume, but because of Italy. I will say this for D'Annuncio: he is perfectly frank about it. He never said one word to me about Italy's right to the things he has set out to obtain for her. He never alleged anything beyond the assertion that Adriatic supremacy was essential to Italian greatness, and that if the Italian government gave up any THE MONITOR thing they now hold, he would immediately seize it by force. No one who has traveled through the area held by the Italian army of occupation, or who has been to Flume and spoken with D'Annunzio, can doubt that he could make good his threat and that he is right when he declares that the Italian regular forces—both army and navy—would refuse to obey the government and recognize his authority. In a dispatch which I sent reporting D'Annunzio's defiance, the Italian military censorship at Trieste deleted a part in which I expressed the belief that D'Annunzio has the tact support, both of Admiral Millo, commander at Zara, and of General Caviglia, who is at the head of the army of occupation. But the fact is not open to glout, and should D'Annunzio start for Rome, neither of them would lift a finger to impede his progress. On the contrary, I feel sure that D'Annunzio had good grounds for his assertion—also deleted from my dispatch—that if he started from Flume with 10,000 men he would arrive at the gates of the Eternal City with 150,000. "THE MAN IN OVERALLS" Copyright Underwood & Underwood James Joy Jeffreys is known all over the country as "the Man in Overalls" and as "the Billy Sunday of the Railroads." He is a noted lecturer and evangelist who specializes in good citizenship, care of the body, including food, exercise, morals, etc., as well as in purely spiritual talks, as he believes the three go hand in hand. He was converted in the Pacific Garden mission in Chicago, where Billy Sunday and Mel Trotter were converted. He began in railroad work as janitor of a depot in Washington, Iowa, in 1893, then became newsboy and later news agent, engine wiper, coal boy, stationary fireman and then engine dispatcher, locomotive fireman and engineer. He left the railroad work to become an evangelist in 1908. Rooster Just Like Mother. Winsted, Conn.—A yearling Rhode Island Red rooster owned by Elmer Robbins is brooding a number of chickens that weigh from one and a half to two pounds each. The young rooster also fills a mother's role by calling the chicks when he uncovers worms. At night the chickens huddle beneath his wings. MODERN TOWN BUILDING PLANNED FOR PALESTINE Stuffy Tenements, Dirty Factories and Narrow Streets Are Tabooed by British. Neither stuffy tenements, dirty factories, narrow streets nor sullied slums will be tolerated in Jerusalem and other urban centers of Palestine, "the Jewish homeland," by the British high commission. Anticipating a heavy influx of Jews back to the Holy Land, a city and town planning commission has been appointed to regulate the distribution, and prevent a mushroom growth, spolling forever the beauty of the ancient cities, according to information received by Zionists in this country. All town plans will have to be approved by the high commissioner, Sir Herbert Samuel. Civic commissions with full authority will control building development in Jerusalem, Jaffa, Haifa and Tiberias, working on plans approved by a central commission. This body may be headed by Sir Patrick Geddes of the University of Edinburgh, town-planner of Bombay and other cities of India. Land owners have been advised to consult with the local commissioners before attempting new construction. Palestine is now half empty, and there is ample room for new communities and modern quarters. In building them the poor must not be buddled in crowded settlements while the rich enjoy spacious houses and delightful gardens, said the high commissioner In announcing his city planning ordinances. "It is the duty of the government to supervise such things," he is quoted as saying. "We may hope to have here noble cities with parks and open spaces designed, not in the foreign extraneous style, but breathing the spirit of the land, representing—the best ideals of those who work for its up-building." An aristocratic lady gave a dinner party during the waiters' strike in New York. A young girl of the type known as buxom waited on the table. She seemed quiet and unobtrusive, and was efficient. After the dinner was over, the hostess said she would sign the check. When she had written her name she turned to the waitress and said: "Perhaps I should tell you that I am Mrs. Blank, so there will be no mistake. My handwriting is rather illegible." The waitress picked up the check glanced at the signature, and said: "Well, dearie, you ain't got nothing on me!" Adam Duncan, fellow of the Royal Horticultural society, who has just died in England at the age of 80, is said to have been largely responsible for the introduction of the tomato as an edible fruit. The tomato had long been grown for decorative purposes, but Mr. Duncan, by means of hybridization, evolved it from its crinkled, woolly state to the smooth-skinned fruit. Chiffon Is Popular. Pastel-colored chiffon blouses are good with plaited chiffon skirts of white. A popular fabric for dresses is the new flowered chiffon. Chiffon and crepe de chine are the favorite negligee fabrics for fall and winter and vivid colorings are quite the rule. The latest novelty in veils is composed of a mixture of chiffon and trille. He—Why do you say such hard things about Bridget to our caters? She's a treasure; the best cook we ever had. She—How little you men understand your wives' problems.

JOHNSON AND SOUTH ```markdown ``` 2222 A Square Deal to Everyone ```markdown ``` TWO-SWORD MEN OF APAN With Their Disbanding, Comparatively Few Years Ago, the Secret of Blademaking Disappeared. As late as 1868 there were some 400,000 two-sword men in Japan, highly trained fighters attached to the nobles of the land in bands ranging from two or three, to an entire army. When the revolution came the work of the two-sword men was done, the nation was made into a solid unit and the strength of the blade carriers was needed at plow and bench. With this disbanding, an exchange explains, the trade of the swordmaker was also lost to the vast number following it, and with them, as the years passed, died the secrets of the warrior tools. Swords can be obtained in Japan today whose blades are so keen they can cut through a vell or a sofa cushion, and also can be driven through a bar of iron, provided the welder has the strength. Others have blades covered with a beautiful and intricate tracery that disappears and reappears at odd times, and no one can solve the "why" of it. One moment the blade is as smooth and unmarked as a mirror and the next the design leaps out before the eye of the startled beholder and can even be felt by sensitive fingers. Yet other blades are colored red, blue, silver or gold, and while seemingly an alloy, a chemical analysis shows nothing but steel. Yet others are coated with a poison that is unseen, but beyond all other poisons dendly. In large part it consists of decayed human blood. RACE SOON TO BE EXTINCT In Wake of Civilization Have Speit Doom to the Polynesians of South Seas. That modern civilization is bringing death and extermination to the splendid race known as the Polynesian, is the claim of all travelers who have spent time on the beautiful southern Pacific islands. Charles Bernard Nordhoff, in the Atlantic Monthly, in sorrowing over this says: "To say that Christianity was their undoing would be absurd; they died and are dying under the encroachments of the European civilization of which Christianity was the seruner. Everywhere in the South seas the story has been the same, whether told by Stevenson, or Melville, or Louis Becke. We brought them disease; we brought them cotton clothing (almost as great a curse); we suppressed the sports and merriment and petty wars which enabled the old islanders to maintain their interest in life. And lastly, we brought them an alien code of morals, which succeeded chleeny in making hypocrites of the men whose souls it was designed to save. Today there is nothing to be said, nothing to be done—the Polynesian race will soon be only a memory." New Method of Identification Not only are the finger prints of every human being different but the position of the bones of the fingers, and also the shape of the nails are different. Doctor Beclere, a well-known student of radiography, utilizes this fact in a new method for identifying criminals. The method consists in making an X-ray photograph of the hand, showing the bones and the fingernails. Ordinarily such a photograph would not show the flesh, in but in order that the record may be complete the fingers are soaked in an opaque salt, by means of which all the lines and marks are clearly shown. Doctor Beclere considers that the possibility afforded by his discovery of keeping a record of nails as well as of finger prints should prove of the greatest use in identifying criminals. Vast Wealth in Liberla. The Sun and New York Herald a few weeks ago was probably the first newspaper in our country to announce that Liberia, in West Africa, had just come into view as very rich in natural resources, both agricultural and mineral. It is nearly as large as the state of New York, fronts on the Atlantic for about 300 miles and its coast belt is only about twenty miles wide. North of the coast belt the whole country is a vast forest, through which Sir Alfred Sharpe of England has recently penetrated. He has informed the Royal Geographical society of the enormous population of this, till now, unknown forest land and of the unexpected resources, including gold and other minerals, that await development there. Radio Control for Airplanes Radio Control for Airplanes. There can be doubt that if the war had lasted a few months longer we would have witnessed the leading armies employing great fleets of airplanes controlled by radio means. The United States army had progressed pretty far along this line when the armistice was declared. The same can be said for Germany. Now we learn that the French have demonstrated that five or six small and inexpensive bombing planes, without pilot, can be successfully guided by a "shepherd" in a larger plane through the means of Hertzian waves.—Scientific American. Marriage Promotes Long Life Marriage, according to Doctor Schwartz of Berlin, is the most important factor of longevity. Of every 200 persons who reach the age of forty years, 125 are married and 75 unmarried. At sixty the proportions are 48 to 22; at 70 years, 27 to 11; and at ninety years, 9 to 8. Fifty centenarians had all been married. PROPOSE FOREST PROTECTION PLAN Wood and Pulp Famine Spurs Experts to Action. LEGISLATION IS SUGGESTED Bill to Be Offered in Congress Calls for at Least $11,000,000 a Year—Adequate Protection Against Forest Fires, Reforestation of Denuded Lands and Extension of National Forests Among Things Sought by Forestry Association. A bill is to be introduced in congress for a national forest program, including better fire protection for the forests. “This step, following an agreement by all the industries interested, marks the first united move in this direction in this country,” says Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American Forestry association, which announces the outline of features to be embodied in the proposed legislation. The plan calls for national appropriations of at least $11,000,000 a year. The provisions of the proposed measures are two-fold—for a considerable extension of direct federal activity in forest ownership and production and for the development with federal aid and encouragement of systematic policies in the several forested states to bring about adequate forest production and reproduction. The program provides specifically through co-operation between the government, the states and owners of timberlands, for adequate protection against forest fires, for reforestation of denuded lands, for obtaining essential information in regard to timber and timberlands, for extension of the national forests and for other steps essential to continuous forest production on lands chiefly suitable for this purpose. The following legislation is proposed: Authorizing the secretary of agriculture, after consulting appropriate local agencies, to approve an adequate policy for each state, covering fire protection, reforestation, cutting and removing of timber crops. Not less than $1,000,000 annually available for such co-operation with states. Provides for Experiments. A survey of forest resources, forest production and forest requirements of the nation. Provision for studies and experiments in forest reproduction methods, wood utilization, timber tests, wood preservation, development of by-products and other steps to bring about the most effective use of the nation's forest resources. Provision for a study of forest taxation, to assist states in devising tax laws which will encourage the conservation and growing of timber. Also of methods of insuring against forest losses by fire. Provision for more rapid replanting of the vast areas of denuded lands within the national forests. Appropriation of $10,000,000 a year for five years for the purchase of lands, which should be added to the national forest system, whether or not on the headwaters of navigable streams as such purchases are now limited. Authorizing the addition to national forests of lands now in other forms of government ownership but found chiefly suitable for permanent forest production. "The very great importance of this program and the suggestion outlined cannot be overestimated," said Mr. Pack. "They affect every state in the Union and the business interest of every state, which means that every man who wants to build a home, who wants to get along, will be affected by this important legislation." PUTS BABY TO SLEEP Young Father Has Happy Thought and It Works Like Charm. M. L. Leahy of Wichita, Kan., has discovered what he considers an entirely new way of putting babies to sleep. Leahy is a young married man and has a three-months-old baby. The little one has been automobile riding several times and Leahy has noted how quickly the motion of the car and the purr of the motor has induced sleep. Recently the baby was put to bed but instead of going to nodland as a well-regulated baby should, insisted on crying. Happy thought, the father procured their vacuum sweeper, installed it under the crib and watched results. It worked. Baby went to sleep and was quiet as long as the sweeper hummed. When it quit, baby stirred. It is not recorded whether the motor was allowed to run all night. Where Sympathy Lies. An auto speeder, fined several weeks ago, pleaded with Judge Bernard C. Fox of the Cincinnati Municipal court for a suspension of the fine, saying he helps support his mother. "Some of these," Judge Fox said, pointing to the number "57," which shows the total number of automobile fatalities here during the year, a sign which hangs before his desk all the time, "some of these supported mother, too." THE MONITOR WELL-LOCATED SING HOUSEWIF In a Well-Planned Kitchen Like This 10 In a Well-Planned Kitchen Like This a Good Sink is of First Importance. One of the biggest savers of time, strength, and labor in the kitchen is the sink. Yet many women are struggling along with none at all or, at best, a poor and badly placed one. The following suggestions in regard to sinks are given by household specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture: The size of the family and of the kitchen must determine the size of the sink, but a short sink with ample table and shelf room near it may be more convenient than a long sink. Two smaller sinks, one for the table dishes near the dining room and the other for general use in the kitchen, are very convenient. gather in the depressions when vegetable tables are cleaned, dishes washed etc. Like iron, they do not show whether they are clean or not. Enameled-iron sinks are smooth last well with careful use, and may be easily kept clean, but they are more expensive than iron. Porcelain sinks are similar to the enamele ones, but their price is almost prohibitive. Perhaps the ideal plan, if cost is not to be considered, would be to have an enameled or porcelain sink for the tableware in the kitchen or the pantry near the dining room and an iron or soapstone sink for the heavier kitchen ware. The double sinks with one basin for No Cracks or Square Corners. No Cracks or Square Corners. The material should be the best available, nonabsorbent of grease as well as of moisture, and there should be no cracks or square corners to increase the work of keeping it clean. A wooden sink, even when it receives an annual coat of paint, will absorb moisture and grease which attract insects, and is likely to be swarming with bacteria and to "sour" and have an unpleasant odor. Even drainboards of wood are not recommended unless they have a waterproof finish of varnish, oil, or paint. If a wooden sink is necessary, it is better to have it metal lined, provided the sheets of metal, which is usually tin, zinc, galvanized iron, copper or lead, are soldered where they are joined and all parts of the sink, including the tops of the sides, are covered with the metal, so that there is no chance for the wood to absorb moisture. Another plan is to have a cement sink built into a wooden frame and lined with sheet copper or tin. Iron sinks of good quality are superior to wooden ones, since they do not absorb grease or moisture and are durable. They are easily kept clean if smooth (and they will soon wear smooth), but they have the disadvantage of neither showing dirt nor proclaiming their cleanliness. Unless the front is protected by a strip of wood, the dresses and aprons of the worker are likely to become stained with iron rust. A soapstone or a state sink is durable, but sometimes becomes uneven with wear, and if this happens much brushing and scrubbing are required to remove the sand and grease that SUPERIOR QUALITIES OF HOME-MADE BREAD Most Appetizing of Foods When One Is Hungry. Loaf Should Be Light in Weight Considering Its Size, of Symmetrical Form, With an Unbroken, Golden-Brown Crust. Good home-made bread is about the most appetizing of foods when one is hungry, but there are many kinds of home-made bread. Squee is good, some is bad, and some indifferent. Which kind do you make? If you don't know, judge it by the following description of a good loaf given by the home economics kitchen of the United States Department of Agriculture: Good bread is porous and contains a large number of holes or cells, all of which are of about the same size and shape. It is better for some reasons to think of it as a mass of tiny bubbles made of flour and water and hardened or fixed in shape by means of heat. This calls attention not only to the size of holes or cells, but also to the character of walls of the cells, which in good bread are always very thin. A loaf of bread should be light in weight, considering its size, and should have a symmetrical form and an unbroken, golden-brown crust. The crust should be smooth on top and should have a certain luster, to which the term "bloom" has been given. The loaf, as a whole, the crust and the crumb, should be elastic. The loaf, if pressed out of shape, as it often is when slices are cut from it, should regain its form when the pressure is removed. Bits of the crust, if bent a little, between the fingers, should show the same power to rebound, as should also the cut surface of the loaf if pressed. The crumb should be creamy white in color and should have a "sheen," which may be compared with the bloom of the crust. This sheen can best be seen by looking across a slice rather than directly down into it. The gather in the depressions when vegetables are cleaned, dishes washed, etc. Like iron, they do not show whether they are clean or not. Enameled-iron sinks are smooth, last well with careful use, and may be easily kept clean, but they are more expensive than iron. Porcelain sinks are similar to the enameled ones, but their price is almost prohibitive. Perhaps the ideal plan, if cost is not to be considered, would be to have an enameled or porcelain sink for the tableware in the kitchen or the pantry near the dining room and an iron or soapstone sink for the heavier kitchen ware. The double sinks, with one basin for washing and another for draining dishes, are very convenient, but unfortunately they are relatively expensive. A small sink with a rubber stopper for its escape pipe may be used as a dishpan. The plumbing should be easy of access, and therefore it is better that there should be no closet under the sink. Hooks or shelves under the sink or near it will accommodate everything usually kept in the dark, often musty, "sink closet" of older kitchens. A "sink closet" can be kept sweet and clean but it means extra work to do it. If possible, there should be a wide shelf or drain board on each side of the sink on the level with the rim of the latter, one to receive soiled dishes and the other clean ones. Some housekeepers have these covered with zinc. As in all other places where it is used, the metal must be neatly fitted and closely fastened down so as not to leave any chance for loose, rough edges, or to provide breeding places for insects or a lodging place for grease and dirt. If there is no place for permanent drain boards, sliding or hinged shelves may be used. A right-handed person usually holds the dish in the left hand while washing or wiping it, and the dishcloth, dish mop, or towel in the right hand. It is convenient, therefore, to have the dishes move from right to left as they pass from dishpan to rinsing pan, and from rinsing pan to drainer and tray. This should be kept in mind, and provision made for soiled dishes at the right and for a drain board at the left of the sink. distribution of the holes, on the other hand, and the thickness of the walls can best be examined by cutting a very thin slice and holding it up to the light. The flavor of the bread should be, as nearly as possible, the flavor of wheat developed or brought out by the use of salt. This flavor is not easy to describe, but is familiar to those who have tasted the wheat kernel. KITCHEN IS WORKSHOP The kitchen is the workshop in most farm homes. In it the housekeeper and her helpers prepare the food for the family, and from it as a center carry on most of the other housework. More and better work can be done in a well-lighted shop arranged for the comfort and convenience of the workers and equipped with good tools than in a dark shop where much time must be spent in unnecessary steps and energy wasted with scattered equipment. Business men have found this a sound principle, and it should be applied to the farm kitchen so that the housekeeper can do her work more quickly and with the least fatigue. A small sink with a rubber stopper for its escape pipe may be used as a dishpan. * * * With roast pork serve apple sauce, mashed potatoes and green vegetable —peas, beans or spinach. * * * Celery, lettuce and other salad plants, because eaten raw, must be washed with the greatest care. * * * Sal soda in hot soap suds is splendid for removing grease from a gas range. See that it is thoroughly dried afterwards. Location of Drain Boards. EX-FIGHTERS IN CIVIL SERVICE Sixty Thousand Have Passed Examinations for Positions Under the Government. PUT SNAP INTO THE WORK Amendments to the Law Establish Preference for Soldiers—Not Disqualified by War Wounds—Number Increases Steadily. Washington.—The civil service is undergoing a change, for many former army men are "still in the service" and are injecting some of the old-time war pep into their handling of the mall, keeping records of government insurance, helping to liquidate the nation's war contracts, putting together the results of the 1920 census, opening up and irrigating and draining new government land, clerking in all the various government departments—doing anything that needs to be done around the national household. The number of ex-service men working for the government is increasing steadily, and today numbers 60,000 who have passed the examination and 40,000 who have been certified for appointment. At the present time the actual count is 15,750 ex-service folk now detailed for duty with the government, but with these new appointments the number will be doubled and trebled in the near future. "It reminds a person of old times to wander through some government buildings and hear a head clerk shout out the never-to-be-forgotten 'snap to it.'" writes J. W. Rixey Smith. "Many a sedate and settled-for-the-ages government bureau has had its papers and its calm ruffled recently as the thousands of men who did their hitch in the army or the navy walked in under civil service to occupy desks in just about the same manner as they would take trenches. They hurl papers around as if they were throwing Mills bombs, and they chase in and out as if they were always after a German, bitterly lamented one old-timer about to be retired to make way for the new blood. "Many amendments looking toward civil service jobs for ex-service men and women and their dependents have been added to the civil-service laws. Five such amendments and two executive orders of the President have been instrumental in opening the gates of government service as wide as possible to the ex-service man. "One amendment establishes preference for all honorably discharged soldiers, sailors and marines, wives of disabled men and widows of service men in appointments to certain positions in the District of Columbia. "Another amendment provides for the reinstatement of all civil service employees who went to war. Another restores to their places on the civil service eligibility list all those who lost their civil service status by reason of joining the military or naval forces. "A fourth amendment makes it possible for a disabled ex-service man to hold a civil service position in spite of his disability upon the certification of the federal board for vocational education that he has been trained for and is capable of performing the work. "The fifth and last amendment provides that, instead of the percentage of 70 required to be made on the regular civil service examinations, a percentage of 65 made by ex-service persons shall result not only in their passing but in their being placed on the civil service eligibility list above all others regardless of the marks made. Civil Service Preference "Of the two executive orders of the President on the subject of civil service and the ex-service man, one provides for the reinstatement, within five years of an honorable discharge, of those who held positions before the war in the competitive classified service, and the other extends civil service preference regulations to all postmasterships of the first, second and third classes. "Despite the fact that 60,000 war veterans are on the civil service eligibility list and that these changes have been made in the law in their interest, only 15,750 so far received civil service appointments. There are two reasons for this: The first and most obvious is that there have not been 60,000 vacancies. The second is that the law requires in the making of the civil service appointments the names of the three highest eligibles shall be submitted to the department head. Where the name of an ex-service man is submitted, along with the names of two other persons who have made the highest marks of any civilians taking the examination, the department head may choose either the ex-service man or one of the other two eligibles for the position. Thus all of the congressional amendments and preference talk notwithstanding, the civil service job for the ex-service man depends in a great measure upon the department heads of the government. "Salaries in the civil service vary greatly. The average departmental position in Washington pays anywhere from $1,200 to $3,500 a year, while many civil service positions in the work of the different departments throughout the country pay as low as $500 a year with quarters and mount as high as $5,000 a year. All salaries under $2,500 carry a yearly bonus of $240." 7 By MOLLIE MATHER Julie thought it would be different after she was married; everyone told her so. Aunt Millicent in comfortable complacence explained how light romantic visions vanished in the reality of sensible devotion, and surely no husband had ever been more sensibly devoted than Tom. He was kindly concerned in her health and her pleasures as well, and never too wrap up in business to refuse a sympathetic ear. Yet, the "visions" remained. Visions of a green bordered road with a lake blue and sparkling at its foot. Of a summer there, the magic of its moonlit nights. Of a crude, picturesque cabin at the edge of the wood where a young man labored over possible inventions, a bronze faced, dark eyed young man with a smile of womanly sweetness, and a tender voice to match the smile. Julie had been much in this man's companionship. It was her uncle who had whimsically introduced the two. "Stewart," he said, "this is a modern maid of the cities; Julie, my friend here was born a future Edison, but he has not quite achieved—not yet." After that the girl had seemed to chance upon the unusual man everywhere—in the wood where the trees made a cathedral, on the banks of the lake, where his little boat was harbored—sometimes they would row together, sometimes talk idly as he explained and laughed with her about his future inventions. There were hearts, Julie was told, that had loved and lost where Stewart Holmes was concerned. But the girl smiled and went on to her fate—for Julie, too, learned to love the man of gentleness and charm. All at once Tom Carter back in the city seemed a crude being, on an endless quest for mere dollars. Dollars won by hard thinking and tireless action in a big concern in the city. Tom's brief notes proved to her his absorption in mercenary pursuit. "Dear Julie," Tom would scrawl—"Busy every minute; thinking of you just the same, and hoping you will hurry home from the wilds." And while Julie would crumple her unsatisfactory letter, Stewart would go on talking in his beautiful way, hinting sadly of what her return would mean to him. Julie realized what it was going to mean to her. When Stewart made love to Julie she longed wildly to break her engagement, and told him so. But even in his disappointment Stewart was thoughtful. "Take time to think it over, Jewel," he said. Jewel was his name for her. "There will be plenty of time to think, I fear," he added sadly, and motioned about the cabin toward his many half-finished plans. It was then that Aunt Millicent interceded regarding practical choice in a husband. Stewart was their loved friend, she said, but Tom was their choice. Stewart himself settled the grievous question. Julie had gone, near the time of her departure, to meet her wood-lafd lover on the bank of the lake, and as the moon turned the waters to gleaming silver, Stewart tenderly leaned toward her, while her hands clung to his. "Good-night and good-by, little Jewel," the man said. "Ours has been a pretty dream." Later she told big Tom all about it. Tom's only answer was the repeated urging that she set their marriage day. As far as Julie could judge, her summer romance troubled him not at all. But as years passed, and Julie endeavored to be worthy of her husband's sensible devotion, the dream remained to haunt her happiest hours. Unconciously she found herself continually comparing Tom's good nature with the other man's sympathetic understanding; Tom's bluff ways with the other's tender, half-uttered thoughts, and she wondered if from that gifted mind some idea had not gone out to enlighten a world. She wished, sometimes impatient, that Tom was not so commonplace in his care for her; every physical comfort was well supplied. Tom's labors had won him success, but still—her dream. Then one day they motored to a distant town. Tom had business there, and Julie accompanied him. Half-way on their journey they encountered engine trouble. The spot was a strangely familiar one—the short-cut through the woods, a crude cabin near by. "Tom," cried Julie, "this is where I used to visit with Uncle five, six years ago before we were married. You remember, Tom?" Her husband nodded absently; he was examining the car's engine. "Now, if I could find some fellow to help me," he said. A man came from the cabin. "In trouble?" asked a musical voice. Tersely Tom explained. "Sorry I can't help you," Stewart Holmes said, "but I am not much on practical work. There's a garage at the bend." "You won't mind waiting?" Tom asked his wife. Julie shook her head, then she and Stewart Holmes looked at each other. The man's face seemed untouched by the years, his mouth less purposeful, perhaps, his clothing worn and faded. The cabin door hung on its broken hinge, the pictures had turned to shabbiness. And after a while, as Julie and her husband rode in their way, she looked up in his face with a little happy laugh. "What foolish, romantic dreams girls can have. Tom dear," she said.

Then he added: "These colonies could then be sold by the Allies to the United States for a sum in the neighborhood of from $5,000,000 to $7,000,000,000, the Allies receiving credit in this amount against their indebtedness to the United States. In this way Europe would pay a large part of her debt to us. She would then be in a position to purchase from us supplies for her rehabilitation, the foreign exchange situation would be relieved and reconstruction would proceed rapidly. "The United States would receive for very dubious assets a million square miles of territory—about one third of her total area—and an opportunity would be offered to white and colored Americans to do their part in co-operating with other nations in the development of that wonderful continent. "I do not believe that America will seek to evade responsibility when the opportunity offers for sharing in the responsibility for bringing about world improvements. Many colored Americans are interested in this problem and would welcome an opportunity of sharing in the work of upbuilding and developing the African continent. The time may come when we may yet see a great, free African republic, which, with its material achievements and moral triumphs, will renew in Africa and surpass there the glories of the golden age when the civilization of the Egyptians was the greatest in the world." Senator France declared that the race problem will never be solved by consistent and concerted efforts to keep the colored races in ignorance and degradation, by depriving them of schools and sanitary surroundings, by recriminations, hatred, prejudice, vengeance, violence, lynchings and burnings at the stake. He said it must be solved by fearless facing of the facts, with recognition that the unchanging principles of liberty and justice are everywhere and at all times applicable, with an acknowledgment of the fact recognized by all the great anthropologists that the colored races have great mental and moral capacity, and that they were created to fulfill a great destiny. Colored Citizens Object to Dangerous Pitfalls for Daughters Permitted in Respectable Neighborhoods. (By the Associated Negro Press) NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Jan. 6.—What is expected to be a forerunner of similar movements throughout the South was taken here recently in a protest of colored citizens at the presence in their section of houses or ill repute, voiced at a meeting of the inter racial committee.

Most of the houses, it was charged at the meeting, are patronized by white men, despite the fact that they are maintained by colored women. Colored people, with the exception of the inmates, are barred in most instances, the committee's informants declared. Representative colored men declared that their daughters are in danger of being lured from their homes by the proprietors of the houses. "They will not let respectable colored people cross their threshold and we have no means of assisting the authorities in the suppression or the regulation of these places, for we do not know what is going on," one of the speakers is quoted as saying. The Negro members of the committee declared that they do not want the section in which they live contaminated by the houses and their inmates. They further declared that nothing is quite so disgusting to respectable colored people as the sight of white men skulkink through the darkness to be in the company of colored women—women who often are social outcasts of their own race.
