The GERMAN TURNFEST
PROGRAM FOR HISTORICAL PA
RADE AT DENVER, JUNE 26.
The Parade VIII Depict Many Of tho
Most Interesting Epochs in History
Of Teutonic People.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-The program for the prin.
cipal feature of the German Turnfest,
the mammoth historical parade, has
been made public by the entertain
ment committee of the local Turnve-
reins. This parade will taks place
Thusrday, June 26, and will occupy
virtually the entire day. F. w. Rett,
the Colorado sculptor, is in charge Of
the affair.
The parade will depict many of the
most interesting epochs in the history
of the Teutonic people. Thousands Of
costumed actors will participate. The
features will begin with the primitive
Teutons at the time Of the Roman in
vasion. The costumes, which are be-
ing imported from Germany, will re-
semble the skins worn by the early
Inhabitants of the fatherland. Then
will come floats depicting the struggle
of the Teutons with the Roman war
riors. Step by step the history Of the
race will be shown, many elaborate
and beautiful floats alternating with
troops of. picturesquely attired march
ers.
Finally will come floats showing the
coming of the Germans to America.
The Teutonic soldiers who took part
in the war of the American revolution
will be personated by hundreds of
men marching in Colonial costumes.
Gradually the parade will change to
show the Teutons coming West among
the pioneers. This will be one Of the
most interesting sections of the pa
geant.
A herd of buffalo, it is said, will be
driven through the streets, followed
by a number of Indians, with all their
camp trappings. Then will come the
pioneers, and finally the cowboys.
Other floats will represent the part
that Germans have played in the de-
velopment of the West, and particl-
larly of Colorado. At the finish, there
will be several floats commemorating
the great work accomplished by Faith
er jain, the organizer of the German
Turner socities throughout the World.
There will be many bands Of music.

GOOD METHOD OF sTARcHING
Way Of Doing This Important Part
Of Their Work.

When boiled starch is used, 1t
should always be first mixed with a
little cold water until it is smooth. and
then gradually mixed with boiling wa
ter and cooked. Some housewives add
kerosene, some a little sugar. and
some butter, to insure brilliancy and
smoothness of finish. Whatever is
added should be thoroughly added with
the starch.
Many persons find 1t easier to use
always the kind of starch which does
not require cooking. This starch is
mixed with little cold water. then
with boiling water until 1t becomes
clear. 1t Is then ready for use. The
articles for starching are immersed in
the starch and wrung as dry as pos
sible, then thoroughly dried. sprinkled
and ironed.
The finer the articles to be starched.
the more care should be taken in get
ting the starch Of just the right thick
ness and texture and in drying the
articles thoroughly before they are
sprinkled for ironing.

SAVING STEPS MEANS MUCH
Big Thing to Minimize Amount Of
Work That 10 Necessary to Be

We might say that motion study
is a developed analysis Of our old
foe, "step-taking." Wasted steps are
the chief cause of the fatigue of the
housewife. Besides the chief remedy
Of better arrangement we have step
savers like. the kitchen cabinet, the
dish cart, revolving Lazy Susan"
trays for the dining-room table. and
other devices.
Chief among our list Of labor-savers
is a washing machine, which. after an
extensive national investigation. was
classed 80 per cent. high as labor
saver. The vacuum, or suction
sweeper, mangles. meat choppers.
bread-mixers, silver cleaning pan and
many others have done much to abol-
tsh the drudgery Of housework.
Fuel seems to be the largest item
of expense in running the kitchen.
Any device, then. which will save fuel
should be considered seriously by the
economical housewife. The fireless
cooker, the three-decked steamer. or
cooker, tea-kettles' with "insets" 80
that food may be cooked while the
tea kettle is used to heat water. lead
our list Of fuel savers. Others are
the covered sad irons. the small
hooded covers or ovens for one hole
Of gas or gasoline stove and the
small portable oven. which saves US
ing a larger oven.

Last Civil War Veteran.

was informed by the United States
pension Office that the last soldier Of
the Civil War will die in 1855. That 10
the estimate made by those who
make study of vital statistics. II
the last veteran survives until that
date he will have lived 80 years aft
er the surrender Of Lee.
Kronk, who died a couple Of years
ago In New York state, was the last
soldier Of the War of 1872, and he
lived considerably more than 80 years
after peace had been signed. Bake
man, the last soldier Of the Revolu-
tion,' lived for SO years after the
peace of 1888.
Here is hoping that some man who
wore the blue or gray may fool the
pension office and round out a full
century after Appomattox!-Philadel-

ProfitIns by Superstition

After having sat on many juries the
observant man is of the opinion that
the whole human race is still strongly
tarred with the brush of superstition.
II am confirmed in that belief by
the amount of damages invariably
voted to plaintiffs, whose injuries
smack of superstitious origin" he
said. "If load of bricks should fall
from a fifth story window on to the
head Of a man who happened to be
walking under a ladder he would get
twice as much damages as If the lad
der were not there. The element Of
bad luck that attaches to ladder
would insensibly influence every
Juror, ana the sum awarded would re-
feet their prejudices and sympathies."
