Another GIFT For Colorado.

Denver.-Formal acceptance by
Colorado OF the Fort Lewis Indian
school property has been filed with
the secretary OF the interior by Sena-
tor Guggenheim.
Colorado can also have the Teller
institute and grant at Grand Junction,
f accepted at once, but will lose it II
an effort is made TO extend the time
for its acceptance.
Senator Guggenheim filed with the
secretary Of the interior the formal
acceptance by the governor OF Colo
rado of the grant to the state of the
Fort Lewis Indian school lands and
property. also certified copy OF the
act passed by the Colorado Legisla-
ture appropriating funds for main
tenance Of a school at Fort Lewis.
An official Interpretation OF the
Grand Junction Indian school land
grant, made by Secretary Ballinger
9nd received by Representative Tay-
lor, settles the question as to the
liability OF the state In accepting these
lands. and Mr.. Taylor believes the in
depreciation will result in immediate
acceptance by the legislature. Rep
resentatiye Taylor submitted the
statute to the secretary several days
ago, asking for an official construc-
ton. In his reply the secretary OF
the interior says:
Il will say that the orly obligation
which the act seems to impose upon
the state in accepting the grant is
that Indian pupils shall be admitted
to the schools free of charge for tut
ton, and on term OF equality with
white pupils.
The provision respecting the ap-
I.ropriation for maintenance OF the
school and pay OF the superintendent
provides that such appropriation shall
not be available after the school has
been turned over to the state, and it
is not believed that in accepting the
grant the state assumes an obligation
TO clothe and support the Indian pupils
who may thereafter attend the In
stitution."
Ex-senator Teller has Joined with
Representative Taylor in telegram
to Governor Shafroth, assuring him
that any attempt to have the grant ex-
tended is absolutely out of the ques
ton, and would be sure to cause Colo
rado to lose these lands.

NEWEST IN SHELL PINS (
Designers Turn From Combs to Make Attractive Tortoise Pins Tor
 the Hair.

Since the modern coiffure leaves lit- tle room for shell combs. tortoise shell designers are bending their ener- gies to making attractive hairplns with heavy heads and curved wavy lines.
 One of the newest pins has pro nounced outward curve at the top on the order of & hooked handle. Ihls enables 1t to slip over the puffs and curls so much worn.
 One good looking pin for heavy hair has the top in a semi-circular curve like double coil. There Is no cary ing only the handsome marking or fine shell.
 Another set of crook tops Is divided in four waving bands. Sometimes these are plain shell. those for even ing wear studded with brilliants or de- signs in paste.
 New and smart is the bar-shaped top to hairpins. A barette comes to match. The open lines of these are sometimes plain, again studded with rhinestones or decorations in gold or silver.
 A handsome barette of moderate d. mensions Is an oblong piece of light shell of exquisite marking studded with entwined scrolls and loops Of raised gold dots.
 The newest real shell hairpins are quite small and light. as it is no long CT fashionable to have the head look like walking arsenal. These are lost so easily that the average woman wears imitation shell. The real ones will drop less easily from the hair If the prongs are decidedly curved.
 To keep shell in good condition 1t should be rubbed daily with piece of chamois skin to prevent that ugly blur making headway. When the shell is once dimmed 1t must be sent to the manufactory for repolishing. If a number of tortoise shell articles are 10 be polished 1t will be cheaper to send them direct to manufacturer of shell goods than to 1eweler.

HOW TO COOK HAM RIGHT
Kansas Mans Chef Tells the Secret of Preparing Porcine Confection
 That Ia Delicious.

Perry may not know much about biological influences or the processes of nutrition; he might find 1t hard to distinguish between carbohydrates and proteins; but Perry can cook ham. Perry, of course you remember, is President Waters man Friday. To see Perry affecuonately regard the Waters collection of old hams is to see something you will never forget To eat some of his sausage Is to re- cord one more reason for wishing to live
 T have interviewed Perry on the cooking of these old hams" said Pres ident Waters This Is his general plan:
 He first thoroughly washes the ham with a scrubbing brush to get all the mold of and have 1t thoroughly clean. He then soaks 1t in warm water for about twelve hours, keeping the ham submerged. Then he puts 1t into a dishpan in which he has placed & plate or pie pan to keep the ham from coming into contact with the bottom of the pan, covering 1t with another dishpan. He boils 1t for about three hours for a small or medium sized ham. or four hours for a large one. After taking 1t off Perry removes the skin, rubs a handful of New Orleans or brown sugar over it, covers 1t lightly with mixed spic }, puts 1t into hot oven and bakes it for about half an hour. It is then cooled and served cold. Kansas Industrialist

Attractive Way to Serve Banana Ice Cream-How to Combine April
 cots With Curacao.

Banana fee cream has quite a fes- bet glasses and decorated with frosted slices of bananas and preserved cher ries. which should be stoned and en- tirely freed from superfluous juice To frost the bananas, dip the slices into a thin white icing similar to a cake frosting The slices should be merely glazed and not heavily coated If 1t Is inconvenient to frost the ban anas the slices may be used plain.
 Snowballs of ice cream are very at tractive when served with snowballs of cake on wintry night when real snow is flying out of doors To pre- pare the cake. cut out rounds of white lady cake. free 1t from crust and dip it into cocoanut frosting. If little cocoanut Is sprinkled over the ice cream balls the two will look so much alike that one can hardly tell the diff ference.
 A famous chef served apricots with Curacao. Remove the juice from a pint can of apricots. Add a table spoonful of sugar and the rind of an orange to the juice. Let 1t boil ten minutes: then remove the rind. Stir In two tablespoonfuls of Curacao and pour 1t over the fruit Serve when cold.
 A few spoonfuls of Curacao add a delicate flavor to sliced and sugared oranges.
 Almond flavoring is very nice with boiled dumplings and batter buildings in which cherries or peaches are used Do not, however. have more than a suggestion of this flavor.
