KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE 11 TWELVE MONTHS $1.50 Parent Teachers Association Ask Board of Education For More Playground At Douglass School. The Parent-Teachers Association of the Colored schools went before the Board of Education Tuesday night and asked for additional playgrounds for Douglass school at the corner of Washington boulevard and Ninth street. This school is one of the largest in the city, having 800 pupils and only having a play ground to accommodate about 200, and the other 600 have to run wild through the streets, alleys and people's yards and as this boulevard is one of the popular thoroughfares for autos it is quite dangerous for the children and many narrow escapes from cars have been the thrilling scene at this school. There are several vacant lots at the north of this school that can be purchased, but the school board says there is no money, but when it comes to get money for anything along other lines it's gotten some way. At this same meeting they took the proposition of other financial obligations of much less importance than the health and safety of human lives. Every other school in the city has a play ground, but Douglass and the excuse of the School Board in not having the funds to purchase these lots are not a substantial one. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR G. A. Gregg, Conference President of Kansas Conference. Topic: Making the most of ourselves. Eph. 4:11-16. Let us make a careful study of this topic. Let us earnestly ask ourselves the question whether we are making the most of ourselves. Are we living up to the fun of our ability? Are we using our full "horse power?" Is it not well since the world is using and conserving its material resources that we do the same with our physical, mental and spiritual powers? Let us save humanity. Let us conserve the boys and girls of our communities. A human being is of great value. There are latent possibilities or at least we must work and believe that there are latent possibilities in each individual. Let us "stir up the gift that is within us." There are too many boys and girls not yet reached, by a lofty purpose. The Endeavor society should aid them. When each has done his part well, let it be as different as possible from the part of others. There will be a united whole. The whole is equal to the sum of the parts. It is our duty to look after the parts. The collecting of the parts, the final unity may well be left with God.

HERDON TO GO IN THE GROCERY BUSINESS. Mr. D. D. Herndon, one of our well known and enterprising citizens, will open on next Monday morning at the corner of Sherman and Haskell streets, a grocery business. The location is a splendid one, it being right in the belt of the colored people. Mr. Herndon will open up with a full stock of staple groceries and fresh meats. With the business tact and fineness of courtesy, Mr. Herndon should succeed flatteringly from the very beginning. He has many friends outside of his immediate neighborhood, who will give their trade to this new firm. It's without saying that Mr. Herndon has a multiplicity of well-wishers who will throw everything they can in his reach, besides giving him their own trade. The Advocate certainly wishes him a glowing success. AMERICAN WOODMAN LIBERTY FUND PROGRAM Quite a number of people attended the American Woodman program Monday at Fraternity hall. The audience was very appreciative while listening to the following program: Chorus, America; invitation, Rev. Bowles; Inst. solo, Prof. McClelland, fine; paper, "American Woodman Insurance;" Mrs. A. Diggs, very good; Inst. solo, "Our Boys in France,' Miss Jewell Washington, very pretty and appropriate. The main feature, an address, "Patriotism," Rev. D. A. Holmes, received the greatest applause, Quartet, "The Old Flag," led by Lieut. Dr. Porter Davis, was very appropriate and enced; Dr. Washington O. Franklin, Mr. Anderson and Mr. McClelland are in the quartet. Vocal solo, Mrs. D. A. Holmes, sang very expressively and enceded. Supreme Deputy W. G. Banks introduced rev. Holmes, the main speaker, in glowing terms, and Dr. Washington acted as Master of Ceremonies. The Woodmen are paying the insurance of all our boys in France during the war. They are certainly doing commendable work. The audience was pleased with the program and will not soon forget their enjoyment of it. The collection taken up at the entertainment was quite large and many went forward and paid and gave their names as applicantsto this prosperous new lodge which gives quite a large insurance. Thus the American Woodman Insurance company has demonstrated it has come to stay. Miss Virginia Gerren, principal of Sumner school in Kansas City, Mo., was out of school on account of illness. Prof. J. R. Lee, principal of Lincoln High, K. C., Mo., was a guest at the Capper banquet. PIANO FOR SALE. A FINE upright piano., nearly new, of high grade make; will sell at a bargain.

CITIZENS FORUM By R. G. Matthews, Pub. Conn. The rainy weather did not keep the Forum from meeting. The main speaker not being present, the quotations and current events were longer and more interesting. Prof. King was called on and made extemporaneous remarks.' The feature Sunday, March 10th is Farmers' Day. Mr. Harvey of Lawrence and Mr. J. G. Groves, "the potato king," will be the principal speakers. Come early and take part in the community singing. Other good music will also be rendered. The following Sunday will be Memorial exercises for the late Dr. Kealing. The president thanks all officers and friends for attending so well. WICHITA, KANSAS ST. PAUL A. M. E' CHURCH. Sunday was women's day at St. Paul. On account of t he stormy weather in the stormy weather in't he morning their program was set aside, which was carried out at the evening service to a large and appreciative audience. Miss Giles held her hearers at some length with rich Christian truths. The singing of the choir was very appropriate and enjoyed by all. Dr. Ransom filled the pulpit at the 11 o'clock service in his usual strong appeal. Calvary church with Dr. Butcher as the leader, is doing great in the erection of their beautiful house of worship. Although they had to find new quarters after 10:30 to have worship, they laid on the table over $600. This congregation is working hard and some are making a sacrifice to complete this house of God. The preliminary hearing of Detectiv Galloway who shot and killed Norman Haywood on last Saturday evening was held Monday at 2 p. m. before the city court and his bond was fixed at 53,500. A solid colored jurq sat on the case. The Wichita Kansan was sold this week to Thos. Kennedy, of Kansas City, Kansas, who has operated a publication there for several years. It is said he expects to carry on both of these journals. Dr. F. O. Miller and wife entertained Thos. Kennedy, of Kansas City, Kansas, and Dr. Rankin, a t dinner Sunday. Mr. James Johnson one of our leading Hain street business men, returned Wednesday from Arkansas where he went to visit his old home and attend to some business of a legal nature. The banquet Wednesday night at St. Paul's A. M. E. church was a great success. J. M. Marquess, president of Langston University, delivered the principal address, which was a masterpiece. Dollies for Little Jap Girlz In February each year there is a birthday celebration in honor of all little Japanese girls. To call this celebration a "doll festival" would not be a misonomer, for it is then that every girl receives dolls from all of her relatives and friends. It is then, too, says the Galveston Tribune, that the mother allows her little girls to feast their eyes upon dolls that have been in the family for many generations. There are no birthday poles put up for the little girls, but they get many gifts and "oodles" of things to eat. When the birthday celebration comes to a close, all of the best dolls a little girl gets are put away carefully, and she may not so much as take a peep at them again until February comes once more and there is another celebration. Power of the Spirit The central thought which comes from my experience with deafness is, that remedy—recompense—here as elsewhere, is the natural law—that nature seeks always to balance itself, writes Margaret Baldwin, in the Atlantic. The only irreparable disaster in deafness is that one which would despoil the spirit—the will; and here again, as was shown in depression, it is within the personality, within the bounds and terms of our own understanding, that exist the laws which reharmonize the discordant condition and reinvest the mind with its conscious power to dominate the forces and events of life. His Tribe le Increasing. Our daughter Belle, now Mrs. A. M. Frost, increased the population of Tacoma by one small baby girl on July 27. This makes our sixth grandchild. We always had trouble to count our children, and if the second generation keeps coming so fast we may have to put them in a corral and run them through the chute to find the number. -Condon (Ore.) Times. Fourth Annual Knife and Fork Banquet At First A. M. E. Church Nebraska Ave. and Eight Street Thursday March 28th Two foreign Speakers of national reputation have been secured for the occasion. The music will be furnished by Western University, Lincoln High School, Sumner High School and the Church Choir. Two thousand tickets are out for this large annual affair. Admission to all 50c. CAPPER RECEIVES GREAT OVATION FIRST PATRIOTIC BANQUET. The banquet given Tuesday, March 5, by members of the Metropolitan Baptist Temple for Governor Capper, was the most elaborate and largest ever given in K. C., K. Mr. D. W. White conceived the idea of inviting the governor and other distinguished persons and he asked Mrs. M. C. Matthews to write the first notice of it and she called it a "Patriotic Banquet." The pastor assisted him in getting many ads and members helped ticket sellers and the ads on the bulletin board and in the papers caused a crowd of over 1500 to assemble at the Temple on the appointed evening. The State Guards and their band in autos escorted the Governor and staff from the depot and promptly at 8 p. m. they entered the churche. This brand new, beautiful edifice, was decorated more lavishly than has been seen here, with national colors, myriad large flage and palms and flowers. Mrs. Dandridge was chairman of decorations and Mrs. F. Lake, chairman of refreshments, also assisted with many others in decorating. Mr. D. W. White, master of ceremonies, announced the following program: Chorus, America, seven choirs and audience and pipe organ; invocation, Dr. D. B. Jackson; soprano solo, Mrs. D. A. Holmes; enced; welcome address, Dr. W. A. Bowren, very good. He welcomes the governor in behalf of 6,000 Baptists and 15,000 colored people in K. C., K., also over 27,000 Baptists in the state; Patriotic chorus choirs; Patriotic address, Hon. Governor Capper. He told many good things done by the colored race, and how nicely our boys have behaved at Camp Funston. He received an ovation; Patriotic tenor solo, Prof. T. H. Reynolds, he received an ovation and double encore; response to the governor's address, Major D. A. Holmes. As he is one of our fastest extemporaneous talkers, he enlisted tremendous applause; he talked as if he was on the firing line in the State Guards. He was given an ovation and many said his was the best on the program. He extolled the good deeds of the colored race. Remarks, by Rev. G. McNeal, though given in his natural language, were to the point and about how our race should be given a fair show, etc. He also received great applause. The Master of Ceremonies introduced State Major Poindexter, who highly praised the Pastor and members for having such a fine, convenient structure. Adjutant General Hoffman also praised the loyalty or the colored race. Others introduced were: Mayor Mendenhall, Judge McCamish, Judge Hutchings, Mr. Russell of the Topeka State Guards, Rev. M. Williams, Rev. Clay, Judge Sims, Prof. I. B. Morgan, Rev. Richardson, the city clerk, Judge Angle, Wm. Beggs, and others. The Star Spangled Banner was sung by ensemble. About 50 or more whites were present; the largest number of them ever seen at a colored social function. Lady ushers led by Mrs. White with caps and sashes of national colors gave souvenir programs to the vast multitude as they entered. After the program, all retired to the old church which was decorated for dining and partook of a menu of fruit salad and salmon salad on lettuce, English mashed potatoes, national diamond cheese and triangular sandwiches, delicious ice cream and cake and French coffee. All present were delighted with this magnificent reception and it marks a new era and makes history for our race. It is the first patriotic reception given by our people where we could tell of our good treatment and bad treatment to so many leaders of the other race and receive sympathy and allow them to mingle socially with us. May such a banquet be given annually. Mrs. Z. Nelson is able to be out again. SUMNER HIGH NOTES Sumner was extremely fortunate last week in having as her guest three of the Army Y. M. C. A. workers. These gentlemen were Mr. De Frantz, who is general supervisor of the Y. M. C. A. work among the colored soldiers. Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Gregory who are general workers in all the camps. They are just finishing a visit to all the army camps where they sing and speak to the colored soldiers. Mr. Johnson was formerly with the Williams singers. Mr. Fred Harvey, a prosperous farmer of Lawrence, will address the Forum Sunday at 4 p. m. Mr. Ray Trotter and Mr. James Gardner visited Sumner last Wednesday. Prof. Grisham, who formerly was principal of Lincoln High school in Kansas City, Mo., addressed the student body at our weekly Wednesday assembly. He emphasized the idea that we become to the public whatever we stamp ourselves as being. If we are smart, intellectually but through indifference or some such manner pretend or say we do not know then we stamp ourselves as being inferior to that person who knows and shows that he does know. The speaker also stated that we succeed only to the extent that we are interested in those things in which humanity in general is interested. The advance copies of the play, "For the Democracy of the World," of which Mr. Buster is the author, have been typewritten and rehearsals have been started. This play will be produced in April by the Senior class. Watch for the exact dates as this is to be the greatest play yet produced by any class. "The Dust of the Earth" will appear to be a mere dialogue as compared with his drama. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE. By M. C. M. At the morning service the pastor preached on "Humility." The congregation sang, "Where He Leads" very fervently. The choir led "Why Not Now?" when members were called for. At 7:45 p. m. Pastor Holmes again preached from the 119th Psalm. And among the other good songs the beautiful old hymn of "Take the Name of Jesus," was sung while persons were making up their minds to follow Christ. The ordinary collection for one day was over $100. This Sunday, March 10th, Dr. Berry, a fine Eastern evangelist, will preach in the morning and the pastor will preach at night. Mrs. Howard at 840 Washington boulevard, entertained Rev. and Mrs. D. A. Holmes and their sons and Mrs. Richardson, Miss Carrie Richardson and her company at a sumptuous dinner Sunday. Mr. T. Kennedy made a flying trip to Wichita this week. Rev. J. C. Owens was a pleasant guest at the banquet. Miss Ida M. Jones, assisted by some others, won the first prize for selling $77 worth of tickets. She received a large manicure set. Miss M. Turner and Mrs. White sold $34 worth of tickets but the second prize went to Mrs. Dr. Davis, which was a nice rocking chair. Miss V. Calloun sold $24 worth of tickets and received third prize, a hand painted Haviland hand painted dish. It is said there will be over four or five hundred dollars cleared an the first great Patriotic Banquet. BIBLE CLASS. This class reviewed Mark IV and at the next meeting with Mrs. Taylor at 713 Everett will review Heb. 1 and 2 and also read the 3rd chapter. NO.28 QUINDARO, KANS. Mrs. Mahala Endicott, who died last week, was not only instrumental in securing the Freedman's University, which afterwards became Western University, but the Quindaro cemetery. One of her children was the first to be buried in it. Mrs. Young-Cole is cheerful though not able to walk or talk. She is glad to see her friends. Mrs. Bryant is doing a good part by her. Mrs. Bryant has recovered from an injury received while at work at the packing house. Mrs. Kate Wilson, in the Highland addition, lost her home by fire. Mr. Chas. Williams has been confined to his bed for two weeks. FIRST BAPTIST Regardless of the rain, a full congregation attended the services Sunday morning. The pastor, Rev. W. A. Bowren, in unison with the audience, read a Psalm, then the sacramental scripture, after which he turned the meeting over to the church for testimonies. As is ever the case, after a few fervent experiences were given, enthusiasm waxed very high, so by the close of the services everyone was enjoying her or himself in a manner that came natural. Rev. Bowren requests the presence of his people at church and in their seats at 11 o'clock a.m. each Sunday hereafter. The choir is especially requested to do so. Our pastor is working earnestly for punctuality but it will avail nothing if we do not help him, therefore let us start right in with next Sunday being at the church at 11. Prompt starting means prompt closing for which we have been clamoring many, many months. The sisters of the sewing circle have already adopted the resolution of punctuality. Let the rest of us follow suit. The two Rally bands are doing some very effective work now. Let us keep it up. Do not forget the weekly meetings of each band. Division 1 under the generalship of Mrs. Downs, meets every Friday night at the church in the lecture room. Division No. 2, Mrs. Bailey, general, meets every Thursday evening at the church in the lecture room. You know your division; be sure to attend. We were pleased to see so many visitors present and the interest they displayed in the service. Please keep in mind that visitors and strangers are always welcomed at First Baptist. ROBT. CHURCH WINS FOR RACE. Again Robert R. Church, jr., political leader of Nashville, Tenn., has "wiped up the floor," with the "lily white" gang, in whose wake has come much of the woe the Republican party in the South has suffered for many years. Jesse Alexander of the Eighth Illinois Regiment, Co. B, was in the city visiting his parents for a few days. He came from Texas at Ft. Houston. He left Tuesday for St. Louis, where he will meet his company en route to New Jersey. Mr. Wayman, E. Stanley and his aunt, Mrs. Matilda Redfield, of Dallas, Texas, who has been visiting Mrs. Mollie Stanley and family, have returned to their home. Mrs. Mayetta Anderson Wilkerson, of Waverly, Mo., is visiting friends in the two Kansas Citys. Mrs. B. Carroll has returned from visiting her brother, Dr. Davis, in Independence, Kas. She also visited Busy Bee Lodges at Coffeyville, etc. KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE. THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Prop. G. A. GREGG, ASSOCIATE EDITOR. MERVIN HARRIS. CIRCULATING MANAGER. MRS. M. C.

Hutchinson is showing the delegates every attention, with true Kansas hospitalit. The convention will last two days, with business sessions during the light hours and entertainment and social sessions at night in Convention hall. Automobiles met the regular and special trains bringing delegates and automobiles were at the disposal of the delegates, free of charge, giving the whole of their time during the day. "Hall Me, Rotarians," said a large placard on the front of each of these cars. Lieut. Gov. W. Y. Morgan bade the Rotarians welcome in the opening session of the convention and assured them their visit was deeply appreciated by his home town. Then he spoke briefly on the war work of all loyal HER SKIN WAS ONCE AS DARK AS YOURS But by Using Dr. FRED PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER, Her Skin is Now Fair and as Soft as Velvet.

E. church is progressing nicely, under the tutorship of Rev. J. F. Griffin. The enrollment has increased to 50. We extend an invitation to all who have a desire to know more about the Bible. The class meets every Wednesday evening at 7:30 o'clock at the church. "Come thou with us and we will do thee good." The inclementy of the weather did not keep the church-going people from the services Sunday morning, as the auditorium was filled to its full capacity. Dr. Griffin was at his best and delivered a sermon of wonderfglu power. At the close a number joined the church and eight adults and three babies were baptized. The soul-stirring sermons of Dr. Griffir are bringing out each and every Sunday many new faces of which many of them are interested in their soul's welfare and finally will connect themselves with some church. The people are keeping the telephones hot talking about the Knife and Fork banquet March the 28th. Major N. Clark Smith is getting the musical program in shape and says it will be one of the best that's been heard in many days. Sunday is quarterly meeting and Presiding Elder J. T. Smith of the Kansas district will preach at the morning service and have charge of the day's program. Communion service will be held at 3 p. m. The ladies of the church will serve meals to those who don't want to walk home Sunday and back to the afternoon meeting, so come prepared to take your dinner at the church. Get your ticket NOW for the banquet and you will not have to worry about getting it when the evening of the 28th comes. "As business and professional men you realize we are at a very critical moment in the history of our country and the world," said Mr. Morgan. "There is much work that Rotarians can do to help win the war, the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., liberty loan and all other campaigns. Many Rotary clubs have worked for the different things. Here in Hutchinson our Rotarians have agreed to push the third Liberty Loan to be made in April. It is a big job, but they feel willing o put their shoulders to the task and push. "After the war there will come other work. The return home of crippled and disabled soldiers, the care of widows and children of the men who are fighting to make American safe from Prussian autocracy, and the training of these men for trades other than those in which they are now skilled, so they can resume their proper places in life, that will bring many opportunities for business men and others, and Rotarians will be found at the fore-front of those willing to do their share, I feel sure." Charles W. Dawson, district governor, responded to the address of welcome. Other speakers were Russell F. Greiner, of Kansas City, Mo., former international president; Raymond Havens, president of the Kansas City Aotary club, who gave the Rotarians an enthusiastic invitation to attend the international convention in Kansas City in June; Samuel B. oBtsford, of Buffalo, N. Y., an international president; W. A. Gibson, of Muskogee, Okla., and Charles F. Scott, of olla. A. E. Hutchings, of Kansas City urged all Rotary clubs to take a special interest in the sale of the next Liberty Loan, which begins a month from today. A recommendation to this effect is likely to be incorporated in the resolutions to be adopted tomorrow. Tom Wagstaff, of Independence, Kas., and "Hi" Martin, or St. Louis, were nominated for district governor, but it seems in the cards that Wagstaff will win. Oklahoma City will entertain the convention next year ebing the only bidder for that honor. The body of Mrs. Anna Livingston, who died last Sunday, the 3rd, was buried in Woodlawn cemetery. Services were held at the First Baptist church, conducted by Rev. Bowren, pastor. Mr. Alex Dorsey is forever smiles. We wonder why! Pleasure Seekers' Art and Study club met with Mrs. L. Crawford Wednesday. KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE ANNOUNCER M. E. CHURCH AURORA BOREALIS, UNUSUAL PHENOMENON, LIT UP SKY FOR HOURS LAST NIGHT HERE FROM 7:30 TO 10:00 P. M. WILD RUMORS HAD FORT AT LEAVENWORTH SENDING UP LIGHT SIGNALS OF DISTRESS IMPORTANT Arctic Region tographs Above The adventu in this war are roamance. Braa of anti-alrcraft countering the they must cast tions, risk their exposure, and tures in record tographs have In wanton violation of the Federal administrator's ruling of "lightless" Thursdays, a stray visitor from the North Pole known as the aurora borealis or northern light, illuminated the skies in the northeast for several hours last night with its long shafts of ghostly shimmering light, continually changing from a pale pink to blood red. The display continued from 7:30 until shortly after 10 o'clock, when it gradually grew dimmer and dimmer and at last disappeared altogteher. When first noticed early in the evening about all that could be seen was a broad arch of white light stretching across the sky just above the horizon. In a little while shafts of colored light started to creep out from the arch into the sky and become brighter until the entire heavens were lit up. The phenomenon was most pronounced about 9:30, when the sky to the northeast looked as though some monstrous fire were being reflected in it. The northern lights caused a great deal of excitement about town and all sorts of wild theories were advanced as to the cause. Some labored under the impression that new war inventions and star shells were being tried out at Fort Leavenworth or that preparation was being made against a Zeppelin raid. Local newspaper and telephone offices were subjected to a continual flood of excited inquiries as to what was the matter and "where the big fire was." Many of the knowledge seekers followed up their question with another as to whether it was dangerous. The unusual appearance of the sky was easily seen from every place in town and the surrounding country. Telephone reports from Jarbalo, Lowemont and Tonganoxie said that it could be seen there also. Evidence of the phenomenon was also felt severely by telegraph operators. The aurora is caused by electricity, according to science, and while the fiery sky was at its brightest, the telegraph instruments would suddenly click and sputter as though two wires had been touched. Northern lights, as the name indicates, are quite common in the Arctic regions and even in Southern Canada, but seldom do they work this far south. They have been seen in Kansas City before, but usually so dimly as to pass unnoticed. George White, an old timer here, said he remembered when they were seen in the city during the winter of 1864-65. At that time, according to him, they were even brighter than last night and the city was almost panic stricken because of a general rumor that the world was coming to its proverbial end. Should they light up the sky again in the near future the residents of Kansas City will no doubt give them a hearty welcome now that they know that electricity is the cause. Anything produced by an electric current is especially acceptable this winter. TERS' WIVES ALLIANCE Will meet Tuesday, March the 12th, at 2 p. m. at the residence of Mrs. J. C. C.

BRADLEY & BRADLEY, Attorneys for Plff. Attest: R. J. McFARLAND, Clerk of District Court. (First published March 8th, 1918.) IMPORTANT USE FOR CAMERA Arctic Region Can Be Mapped by Photographs Taken From Miles Above the Objective. The adventures of the camera men in this war are more thrilling than any romance. Braving the fire of batteries of anti-aircraft guns and hourly encountering the skillful air duelists, they must calmly choose their positions, risk their lives often for a single exposure, and carry back their pictures in record time. Successful photographs have been made at a height of more than three miles, says Boys' Life, the boy scouts' magazine, for February. From such an altitude the earth appears flat, all objects being lost in a dull cloud-like effect, but the cameras used are of the tele-photo type, which will pierce through this distance. Some are made with a pistol grip which enables the aviator to aim his camera quickly. Other aero cameras are built into the floor or side of the aircraft and pictures are taken by touching a button with the foot. An ingenious mechanical device has been invented which will take pictures at any desired rate per second, so that nothing will be overlooked. Aero photography has many important uses apart from warfare. The camera has been carried by during adventures over unexplored regions. It has been estimated that an aero photographer could cover more territory in a day in the Arctic region than could be traversed in a month by dog sledges. POET MADE WAR HIS THEME Washington Audience Somewhat Surprised. That Masefield Couldn't Spout His Own Verse. The visit of John Masefield, poet and soldier, to Washington recently attracted the attention of scores of people who have known him through his tales of the sea and other stories in verse form. The auditorium was packed by the hundreds who came to see what a real, live poet looked like. The national capital, in 1918, may claim its full share of sophistication in matters political, but the visit of a poet is another thing. Several years ago Alfred Noyes, fellow Englishman of Masefield, spoke there, and people were delighted to find him a simple, frank, good-natured fellow who had all the earmarks of a successful young business man. So this time they wondered what Masefield would be like. Would he spout yards and yards of poetry from memory? He was scheduled to read his poems. "I'll have to have a copy," he said, simply. Finally, after much search through the audience, one lone copy of the book needed was found. Exhibit of Spider Webs. Notwithstanding the fact that a spider web is so fine and delicate that unless covered with dust or sparkling with dew it is almost invisible, the American Museum of Natural History is now displaying a series of these webs, 12 in number, so mounted on dark backgrounds as to be plainly visible. The spiral construction, widening gradually from the center outward, is easily traced. The webs are accompanied by colored plates of the spiders which spun them. Some spiders live in the web they spin; others spend only the nights there, hiding during the day in retreats often some distance away, with a single thread leading to the web. One of the larger spiders, Aranea trifolium, for instance, spins a thread from the center of its web to a tent made of leaves and silk. Slitting in this tent, the spider holds the thread in such a way that it knows when the web is shaken by its insect prey. American Museum Journal. CAPT. UGO D'ANNUNZIO J. G. C. Capt.

NONE IN THE OPEN MARKET Prige Jumps From $300 to $500 and Over—Englishman Who Perfected instrument Won,Prize of $100, 000 and Thanks of Mankind. ‘Washington—Among the bustest people supplying the United States with war materials are the makers of chronometers. Great care and pre- cision are necessary in turning out these navigating instruments, which are the most accurate portable time- keepers known to science. Hundreds of chronometers have gone to the bottom of the ocean since the war began, This alone would cause a shortage in the ordinary sap- ply, while the equipping of the new American merchant marine fs creating fm unprecedented demand for new in- struments, f At present there are virtually no chronometers to be had In the open market. Before the war England sup- plied the world with most of its fine chronometers. In ordinary times a good chronome ‘ter costs about $300. The present price 48 $500 or better, according to the trade ‘made. The-supply in this country passes through the hands of a few ex- perts, who are doing thelr utmost to meet the demand, From six months to 2 year and a half are necessary to make and adjust a chronometer. The mechanism is of the finest metals, and specially adapt- ed to resistance to extremes of tem- perature, Errors Are Noted. No clock or watch has ever yet kept perfect time, so there is always a Slight gain or loss to a chronometer. ¥or this reason the chronometer's rate pf daily gain or loss is determined by bbservation ashore, and a card show- ing the rate is made out, and deliv- ered with the instrument, This rate of error is allowed in all notations of time made from the instrument for working up observations made at sea. "The chronometer completes, with the compass and sextant, the trio of indispensable instruments required in modern navigation. By its aid, longi- tude, or the east or west position of a ship, is determined, Longitude bafiled all navigators un. til the chronometer came into use In 1785. The ancients and later naviga. tors, including all the great discover ers, could find their latitude by ob servations of the sun's height, but they ‘could determine their longitude onl; by “dead reckoning,” or estimatin; ‘thelr ship's progress from day to day This system was uncertain, ant caused 2 great many shipwrecks, Longitude fs merely the differenc of time between two points on th earth's surface, and it became appat ‘ent to students of the problem it pre sented that if an instrument could b Gevised that would keep accurate tim at sea, it would be possible to find th longitude of a ship's position whenev weather conditions were favorable Mime at the ship could be determine by an east or west observation of th sun, morning or afternoon, worked on by accepted tables. If the time of given point on shore was know aboard the ship, the difference in tim would give the longitude of the ship England was the first nation to cop ‘with this great problem, In 1714 it a polnted “Commissioners for the Di! covery of Longitude at Sea,” and ai thorized the payment of large priz ito stimulate research to the desire ‘end. This commission existed unt 1828, and distributed more than $50 000 in prizes. Wins $100,000 Prize. The chief prize offered by the cor mission, $100,000, was won by Jot Harrison, a Yorkshire watchmake qwho spent his Iife in perfecting ti chronometer. Harrison made the best watches England. Although of lNmited educ ‘don, he conducted many original 1 searches in the expansion of meta in search of materials for an improv watch or clock, that would prove { pervious to changes of temperatu His first great feat was the producti of a “gridiron pendulunt clock,” t first chronometer, which In 1735 _ took to the royal commission. It w w tested by the commission by bel sent on a voyage to Lisbon. ‘The test was not decisive, and Hi rison continued to work on his chi nometer, seeking the great prize, for period of 26 years, In 1761, when s! fy-elght years old, Harrison announc that he had solved all problems | Nolved In his work. He produced ‘chronometer which the commis! sent on a voyage to Jamaica, to t for heat. It varied but two minut bn the entire voyage of several mont The commission demanded anott * test, and the chronometer was sent BABY JOINS RED CROSS EVEN BEFORE ITS BIRTH ‘ Chicago.—The honor of being a member of the Red Cross be- ‘fore he was born goes to John Watson Winter of this city.

FRENCH TAKE WHEAT Seven Ounces of Bread Daily Lim- it Except to Hard Workers.

Notwithstanding the large produc tion of vegetables last year and the great volume put Into cans and jars for winter use, there {s nothing to In- dicate that there will not be equal need for production and conservation in 10918, says the United States depart- meant of agriculture, Many gardens failed last year be cause of poor soll or poor preparation or both, This is the time In many sections to break and to fertilize, Then ia the spring it will be easier to make the seedbed and the soll will contain plant food.

Editor In Retirement. A Georgian editor, who retired some years ago, has recently been review- ing that part of his career which has been free from the labors of the news- paper office. He finds, In contrasting It with a pe- riod of similar length prior to his abandonment of the lead pencil and the shears, that the change has been great, Indeed. Residing in his own comfortable, if humble, home, nothing has been asked of him while taking his well-earned rest except to chop and bring in all the firewood, supply the house with water from the spring, start the kitchen fire every morning, ‘feed the hogs, the chickens, and the cow; milk and churn, plant and weed the garden, and attend to miscellane: ‘oug chores.

REAL FIGHTING WHEN U.S. STARTS Canadian Officer Praises Officers and Men of American Army in France. EXPECTED TO WIN THE WAR r In at Time When Strain of Long Fighting Is Beginning to Show on Both Allies and the Foe—Ger- man Tactics Simple. Ohicago.—“The Germans must strike now or never,” wrote Maj. George: W. MacLeod, second in command of the Forty-ninth Canadian battalion, and one of the veterans of the hardest fighting the Canadians have seen in France, in a letter to Capt. A. Wal- ‘lace Owen of the British-Canadian re- cruiting mission in this city. Captain Owen is attached to the Forty-ninth battalion. “All we can do is to say, ‘Let the bat- tle commence,’” the letter continues. “Bvery one is anticipating a big Ger men offensive elther against ourselves or the French. There never has been such close co-operation as exists at the present time between ourselves and the Brench, and if the Boche starts any- tube he may get the surprise of his re. Pleased With Americans, “Bvery one is very much pleased with the Americans over here, They are a splendid looking lot of officers and men, and thelr manners and attl- tude leave nothing to be desired, Once they start in I think that the Germans will have some real fighting to handle, “One is gradually beginning to real: ize the meaning of the expression a ‘war of attrition.” With the enormous slaughter which has been in progress for over three years the Germans and ourselves are beginning to show the strain, We see it in the type of offi cers and men as regards physique Our training possibly counteracts te a certain extent this loss of physique but I would not care to see the aver age unit of today placed alongulde its former self. Similarly with the resi of the belligerents, It is at this junc ture that the Americans arrive, an¢ one is immediately struck with the appearance. The first million met frown the United States army shoul nearly be able to finish the war pro vided they are not used in driblets Given 2 completely new army, say 0 two fall corps, or possibly three, in thi spring and the end of the war shoul¢ be not long postponed. German Tactics Simple, “T do not think that we are at th last ditch by any means, We havi been in tight corners before, and wil no doubt sweep our way out of th Present one, A German offensive pu on simultaneously against the Frencl and ourselves at the present tim would, however, make it fairly stif going, “T doubt, however, if the German 1 really sufficlently strong 'to do this Le, two determined sustained offen sives.

R, Studenmayer,| who ‘has been engaged in farming tn this locality for the past quarter of & century, has made a comparison be- tween prices prevalent in 1892 and those of 1918. Here's what he found: Hogs in 1802 were $2.90, now $16; cattle $2.50, now $10; rye 40 cents, now $1.85; wheat 45 cents, now $2.20; po- tatoes 10 cents, now $1; butter 15 cents, now 50 cents; eggs 8 cents, now 42 cents; cord wood $2.50, now $7.50; bran $15, now $40; hay $5, now $20, and oats 18 cents, now 75 cents. The farmer says these are only a few of the changes, and while agriculturists are obtaining decidedly better prices | than 25 years ago, they are compelled to pay more for what they buy.
