DISTINCT CHANGES
IN SUMNER COATS

There is something distinctly different
N the midsummer coats and those that
have gone before. To begin with, they
are from three TO four inches longer in
the waist line. The empire coat is quite
out OF style in fits definite form. There
are coats without a waist line which
are worn as evening wraps, Tor motors,
and for cool evenings IN the open. But
the coat that goes with skirt OF light
material IS quite opposed in line and
shape TO what we have had with US
for some time.
II IS quite possible 20 make an old
fashioned coat over into the new lines.
one must rip the seams up the sides.
under the arms, that is, and entirely
change IL.
The fronts must be quite narrow.
and, II double breasted. the lap must
be quite Slight and not continuing to
the knees.
The main point Of difference be-
tween the coats for the midsummer
and those Of the early spring lies IN
the lines under the arms. The slight
est pinched-in look at the waist and
the least indication Of a fare over the
hips IS quite Incorrect

Solutions of Puzzles
Not Up to Average

Evidently the loco weed has had an
innings with the animal chasers. for the
solutions this week look almost as
badly tyngled as the original puzzle.
OF course, a gOOdly company have
cantered into camp carrying with them

OLD PARLOR GAME
OFFERS GOOD SPORT

This game, translated from the
French. can be played in or out OF
doors.
Cats are represented by persons. who
form a circle by holding hands,
One player, the mouse, walks around
outside the circle OF cats
When he sees a good chance he strikes
one of the cats with his hands and i'm
mediately runs away, passing in and
ont of the circle between the cats. who
hold their clasped hands high enough

The cat who has been touched runs

Quality of Veal CalbeS
Mop Above the Average

Housekeepers ana dealers are finding
the veal market this summer unusually
satisfactory. This condition is the re-
suit OF the quality OF the meat, rather
than the supply Of #, ard. in turn, the
quality Is the result Of better methods
being employed by farmers in raising
calves for the market
The CAVES that are being shipped IN
average a pounds, whereas formerly
they would run all the way from 20 10
90 pounds Notwithstanding the differ
eos.s OF from fifty to 100 pounds IN
weight, She smaller calves are now
bringing as much as the larger ones,
for he reason nat th17 meat is not

careful handling OF the stock, siX-weeR
calves are generally cid enough TO meet

Children S Dress
Is Picturesque

Nowadays children at play are pic
turesque. Their mothers have aban-
doned the old ideas of letting them
wear frayed and second best muslins.
There is a special line of clothes made
for the play hours and Il is now a
question as to whether the youngsters
look more charming II sport or on pa
pade.
They srs dressed for comfort and for
GOODNESS, and simple little gingham
frocks, ''rompers, lingerie hats, san
dals, and Dutch caps made of ''turu-

two huge rosettes, contribute to the
good appearance of the children with

CENTERPIECE LACE
SHOULD LAY FLAT

Lace that IS used on centerpieces is
not fulled, but Is just held n enough to
lie fat. The best way TO get this fat
ness is 20 draw the thread Of lace,
fastep one end to the linen. leaving
enough TO make a neat seam and then
adjust fullness so that Il lies even
When right side up one cannot see
that any fullness exists.
Do not make the mistake Of spanning
lace, as it viii be ugly when laundered
and the centerpiece will never lie fiat.

edge basteg the lace so that its edge

System in Keeping Clippings
Is Easy When Started Right

What do you do with the innumera5le
clippings you cut from papers and mag
azines? II you are like most women,
you put them loosely IN a box, where
they might as well have been uncut for
all the use they are.
No matter how good an idea you may
have appropriated, it is valzeiess If lt
can not be found when wanted. This
can only be done when each clipping Is
classified under its proper head.
There are several ways 10 keep clip
pings. but the simplest for the averag &c
housekeeper is to put them IN books
under appropriate headings. Buy a heavy

Franklin's paper the statesman., 1909-02-27

deliberately prepares the way for
such encroachment.
1t may be that Mr. Metz does not
aim his measure at Negroes, but since
we are the largest element of Am
erican citizenship differing in race
from the Caucasians. we are the ones
most likely TO be effected. II is non
sense TO tell US that separate schools
will provide employment for our grad
utes. There are NOT 5000 colored per-
sons in the whole state of school age.
All OF these under present conditions
do not go TO school. II they will not
do SO now, with schools on every
hand. what will they do when separa-
ton will confine us TO certain schools
with the difficulty of attendance
greatly increased? For every dollar
which colored teachers would receive
In salaries in this state under separa-
ton. the race and the state would lose
ten through the ignorance the system
would foster, when the children OIL
his generation grow to manhood.
We are arguing on the basis of school
accommodations being given sufficient
% seat our children such as would at
tend. not on the basis of school
boards setting up a separate school
IN every section in which II now main
:Rins schools. II is unbelievable that
any city would maintain a corps of
teachers with the same equipment, to
instruct handful OF Negro chilirel
as now teach the thousands of all
races. Either one teacher wouli han
die all grades in one room to the
detriment of the pupils, or we would
be assembled from all parts OF the
city in one building, and the latter is
more probable. To send children
through the streets for long distance
means either car fare or vagrancy or
both. Colorado's compulsory school
laws are long step toward better
citizenship. Mr.. Metz's bill is step
just the other way. The more ignor-
ant elements OF the people need the
best educational advantages. For the
legislature to pass this bill is to say
tina tit does not believe in Negro edu-
cation. 1t Is to coincide with the re-
actionists of the South, who claim

House Bill No. 1903, introduced by
p 81 BhP etaoi shrdl cmfwy vbgk
Mr. Metz OF Pueblo, Is now under con-
sideration in the house committee ON
constitutional amendments. II seeks
to open the way for the separation OF
school children according to race and
color. II reads In part:
Be II Enacted by the General Assem-
bly, OF the State OF Colorado:
Section l. There shall be submit
ted TO the qualified electors Of the
State of Colorado at the next general
election OF the members of the Cen
eral Assembly for their approval or
rejection. the following amendment TO
the Constitution Of the State of Colo.
RADIO. which when ratified by major.
ity OF those voting thereon, shall be
valid as a part OF the Constitution. 10
wit:
Section s of a-.icle 3. OF the Consu-
tuition of the State of Colorado shall
be amended so as TO read as follows:
Sec. S. No religious test or quaiiti-
cation shall ever be required of any
person as a condition of admission
into any educational institution OF the
State. either as teacher or student:
and no teacher or student of any such
institution shall ever be REQUESTED to
attend or participate in any religious
service whatever No sectarian tenets
or doctrines shall ever be taught in
the public schools. but the General
Assembly may provide for the classi-
hcation and separate education of
pupils on account of race or color,
II concludes with provisions for the
necessary submission Of the question
to the voters at the next general elec-
ton.
There have been no outbreaks be-
tween the races In this state TO war
rant this un-American legislation;
there is no general demand, even in
public opinion for It. nor can argu-
ments be found to justify II. Law is
a rule enforcing some act OF duty or
prohibiting some wrong. In this case,
1t certainly bellies It's name, for 50 tar

croaching nthe rights of another, 1t
