Unique in the history of the city acquired amphitheater soon after its demonstration of the year was the testimonial to Kansas City's own son, Sherman D. Scruggs, Jr., eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Sherman D. Scruggs, 423 Freeman avenue. Mr. Scruggs has been a successful ice dealer for a number of years. Young Scruggs, 26 years old, is a product of Sumner High, Western University of this city and Washburn College of Topeka, and his acquaintances and friends agree that his success in France is not by any means a case of luck, but he is known as being made of the "stuff" that make men do things, and has both home and literary training. For two years after finishing college he was at the head of the agricultural department of Tougaloo College, Tougaloo, Miss., where he acquitted himself admirably and was the favorite of faculty, students and the communities in which he worked. He made a mark there and Kansas City is proud of it. Then came America's participation in the world war, and Scruggs having prepared for social uplift work, enlisted at a good salary in the army Y. M. C. A., serving the 8th Illinois N. G., encamped at Houston, Texas. He later enlisted in the 8th, now the 370th Infantry U S. N. G., and in due time set sail for somewhere in France where he fights with brain and brawn for the liberation of all peoples. When the delayed mail reached this city a few days ago stating that in far-off France a Kansas City boy of dark skin, fine physique and amiable character had risked his life for the cause of righteousness, Junius J.

SCRUGGS Hed and Decorated in Under Heavy ShelSl Fire Usually High-Class Exer- to Him at the Eighth Ornacle, August 20th. LETING KNOWN IN THE OF THE CITY. Successfully Manages the En-affair. N. Gray was as elated as a small boy when he receives a long-wished or craved toy. "Something must be done on the part of Kansas City," he said, and forthwith got busy to bring something to pass in honor of the young man honored by the war department of the French government and the Patriotic Testimonial is the fruit of his desire to "do something." The ready response of most persons to co-operate was encouraging. Most of whom were reached over the telephone; some strangers both Young Scruggs and the man who wanted to "do something." Printing and church announcements and friends spread the news that Eighth Street Baptist Tabernacle, through its good pastor, Dr. D. B. Jackson, had opened her doors to those who would gather and pay homage to one of their own, first from this station to win such high honors in France. To say that the testimonial was a success would rather be putting it mildly—it was a super-success point of appropriate testimonial numbers, refined large attendance and in the spirit of the times which pervaded the magnificent edifice. It was genuine, thorough and impressive. A collection of. $19.10 was taken to bear expenses of meeting and to buy a token of appreciation to be presented Sergeant-Major Scruggs (by proxy) at a public Sunday afternoon service. Apropriate ceremonies of inserting the six stars in Eighth Street Baptist Tabernacle's service flag were held at this time. The text of General Valantin's citation is herewith given, and the program of the evening, omitting comment: French General's Letter. * 34 Division P. C., le Juin, 1918. Infanterie, Etat-Major.

ADVOCATE "THROUGH THE MILL" AT CAMP FUNSTON Dear Editor: If you see fit to use enclosed "write-up" please send me several copies of paper in which same appears. Through the Funston Mill. For days, I had heard of the "mill" and now I was to be sent through. I must admit that it was with some apprehension that I arose and took my pack as the sergeant thundered my name, "Step lively; make it snappy!" he ordered as we "rookies" slowly and awkwardly started from the room. We entered a long building and a man commanded us to leave our money with him; this was put in an envelope and we were given receipts. In the next room we were ordered to undress. All our civilian clothes were taken from us and a tag addressed home; we never saw them again. Stripped to the skin we entered the next room where we were issued soap and towel. From here we entered the bath-room containing a score or more showers. Clean and fresh we passed on to the doctors. The first man we passed issued us a number of charts and cards, containing our military record and status under the selective service act. The first physician tested us for nervousness and insanity, marking us normal, and we passed on to another specialist, who charted all cuts, scars and bruises; a phrenologist measured our head; a chiropadist examined our feet; and then our heart and pulse were tested. From here we passed on to another doctor, who examined nose, throat and teeth. The next physician asked a number of general questions and made several marks in crayon on our chest, according as we answered. Noting a "W" on my chest. My heart was again thoroughly tested and I passed on to a specialist who noting the "E" on my breast, examined and thoroughly cleaned my ears. Then our finger prints were taken and we passed out of the room either accepted or rejected. We now filled out a qualification card stating the extent of our education, our previous employment, salary earned, etc. Then our family history was taken, and we were rushed out of doors to a number of waiting trucks which took us to the camp-soldiers. The whole process took less than an hour and a half. It is indeed a wonderful system. PRIVATE NORVAL P. BARKSDALE, 6th Co., 164th Depot Brigade, Camp Funston, Kansas. Mrs. W. J. Montgomery arrived home Friday from a pleasant visit to friends and relatives in Nashville. THOS. KENNEDY, PUB. PRINCIPAL HODGE BACK READY FOR WORK CHICAGO RACE MEN GO AFTER HUN HORDES John C. Hodge, principal of Sumner High School, has returned from Chicago, where he took a special six weeks' course in Chicago University this summer. This is the kind of an educator the race needs, one who keeps abreast of the times along educational lines. Men Brave Bullets in Fight Against the Germans Mr. Hodge is looking fine and his friends, who are many, are glad to see him among us again. With the American Army in France, Aug. 16.—Soldiers of the 370th infantry are not only doing their bit here with the British on the Picardy front, but some of them are doing their best in company with their officers and the British Slav officers. Although the commander of the regiment had been in the hospital several days before the present offensiv began, th boys went on and carried their part to a successful termination, laid out by Marshal Foch. SAD NEWS COMES DANDRIGE HOME Wednesday morning the sad intelligence by wire reached the Dandridge home, 252 North Mill street, of the death of their daughter, Mrs. Alexander, at Victoria, Vancouver, British Columbia Her mother, Mrs. Dandridge, had been called there in July on account of an operation which Mrs. Alexander was to undergo, which was successful, and she was supposed to be out of danger several weeks ago, but a change for the worse took place Tuesday and she passed away at 4:30 a.m., Wednesday morning. The 379th infantry, for intelligence and bravery, compares favorably with any soldiers on the western front. They represent the cream of American young manhood and have made a favorable impression on the officers and soldiers of France. The fine qualities exhibited by Lieut. Franklin McFarland, Lieut. William H. Phillips and Lieut. Robert Ward bespeak them as every inch men of bravery and courage, and these men have given excellent accounts of themselves under fire. These men are spoken of in the highest terms by General Pershing, the commander in chief of the American expeditionary forces in France. Many will remember of Mrs. Alexander and her husband visiting here a year ago, and the fine looking statue of womanhood she was. The remains are being brought here for interment, which is a five days and five nights ride. This lovable family have the sincere sympathy, including The Advocate, of a multiple of friends. MISSISSIPPI SELECTIVES AT WESTERN UNI. One hundred and three selective soldiers from the State of Mississippi arrived at Western University Friday to take the place of those of this state, who finished a 60-day course in mechanical training. They are a fine looking set of young men and when they complete their work assigned them, others from somewhere will take their places at this training school. Let the citizens of this community go out and see these splendid young men and make their stay here a pleasant one. They are our boys and it is our duty to entertain and demonstrate to them our interest in their welfare. SCHOOLS; SCHOOLS The greatest and most serious problem approaching us is that of our schools. Let us not be deceived or lured aside. Our college and high school young men are in the army. Our children more than ever before, must be kept in school. This is no joke or common saying. Look ahead and realize the need of thinking men and women during the present crisis and the reconstruction after the war. Send the child to school. OLD-FASHIONED PICNIC THE KIND WE USED TO HAVE BEFORE THE WAR The Citizens of Greater Kansas City and Wyandotte County will meet at This regiment only awaits the opportunity to crown itself with more glory and reflect credit upon the people and the city from which it came. Most of the officers are business men and professional men of high standing in Chicago, and their success on the field of battle will be regarded as reflecting the true spirit of their native city. CITY COMMISSIONERS GIVE FLAG TO QUINDARO MEN Through the efforts of Mrs. Willa Dwiggins, 852 Oakland avenue the City Commissioners of the city purchased a large handsome flag, which was presented to this detachment last Friday by Mrs. Dwiggins in her usual impressive manner, and her presentation words of praise were given to those who so cheerfully made the gift. Captain Daugherty, commanding officer, responded in behalf of the detachment and assured Mrs. Dwigins their greatest appreciation for this noble gift, and desired through her personally and The Kansas City Advocate publicly to thank the Commissioners of Kansas City, Kansas. The committee on arrangements for the Grand Chapter received in all about $80, but -50 of it was divided between the five matrons. NO.4 1 THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Prop. G.

The President has given his "Statement" in regard to lynching and mob violence. Search the documents of the president of the United States and none are more comprehensive, helpful and have a more constructive arm. It becomes a fact of the history of the Nation. It is a human document. It takes high ground in social reconstruction. The real task is with us aside from the burden of reforms that becomes the duty of others. There are two axioms made use of quite often in geometrical demonstrations that are especially applicable and fitting here viz: "The whole is equal to the sum of its parts," and the whole is greater than any of its parts." These are axiomatic truths, the full force of which are seldom realized. -When one can rise to the real conception, notion and fact that he is a real vital part of "We, the citizens, etc.," "We, the people," "We, the Americans," much has been accomplished in a human way. There is no hope for the individual or the race in this stage of the world's development that considers itself apart from the whole. Thirty nations are now teaching Germany that she cannot live unto herself, but must take her place in a constructive way with, or be cut off from the family of nations. Germany forgot the axiom that the "whole is greater than any of its parts." It is in the direction of least resistance, retrogression, pessimism, and all other demoralizing tendencies to deny oneself as being a part of a constructive "we." The President does not say stop lynching pro-Germans. He does not say stop lynching white men. He does not say stop lynching colored men. "My fellow countrymen * * * make an end of this disgraceful evil." Let us help in every way possible to make this a law-abiding nation. Let us be active, alert, thoughtful and realize that each must play a man's part. Encourage every man and every idea that has the least tndency toward better conditions financially, socially and spiritually. Let us be brave. Let us claim our own. Let us recognize the rights of each and all. Help the President to make this a safe country to live in. Help teach the lawless and prejudiced to know the right. They ned instruction. They need help.

JUNCTION CITY, KS. We were under many obligations to Mr. Pete Coleman, who took us over the entire camps in a sevenpassenger car, which took several hours. Mr. Coleman and his good wife runs a fine cafe down in the city and it is packed every night with citizens and Uncle Sam's best American blood. Mr. Coleman is from Wichita, where he has a fine business of this same kind, and has been in Junction City about three months, and is doing an enormous business. His room is among the largest in the city, therefore his accommodations are much larger than the average business place there. They employ a large number of waiters and waitresses. His wife looking after a five hundred dollar cash register. Everything about Pete's place is run in order, and that same discipline is seen there as is carried out in the camps. The best blood of the soldiers can be found at this well-liked hostelry. We want to thank Mr. and Mrs. Coleman again for their courtesy while in their midst. METROPOLITAN NOTES A large audience greeted the pastor at both morning and evening services; and he preached well both times. At nigh the gave a special sermon on "Faith," and was rewarded by some accessions to the church. A large collection was taken up for the improvement to be accomplished before they finish the basement. Next Sunday, August 25th, everybody is invited to come and hear the Gospel expounded, as Pastor Holmes expects to be back from Camp Funston, where he held four days' meeting. ECHOES OF THE GRAND CHAPTER The O. E. S. arrangement committee had its last meeting at Mrs. P. C. Long's. They found that they ha ddone much better than they thought. In spite of opposition, they cleared nearly $30, and donated the church $20. They extended the chairman and all other committee members a vote of thanks, and the treasury has asked for a repetition of the "Allied Drill," in the near future. Some are still speaking of the fine reception of the Grand Chapter, with Mrs. C. O. Bryant as one of the honored guests. The Grand Chapter was so pleased with the arrangement here, they donated $50 to the committee, who managed the reception, program, etc. They purchased a $500 Liberty Bond and gave $100 to the Red Cross.

Dear Editor Kennedy, Kansas City, Kansas: Please let me have space in your Paper to say something*on the trag- edy that happened on last Sundav. I must say that the man that shot the policeman was a low man and should be punished to the ful lexteat of the law for the policeman was doing his duty, and the better class of our race stands ready to help the law find such men, but yet the men that burned the 21 homes are Just as low as the murderer and should be punished to the full extent of the law for destroying property. I know they are poor and cannot re- place the prperty; that is the kind of people that does this low dirtv work. Stop and think what good did it do to burn those old people's homes. Some of them have spent the early part of life in slavery and have toiled, all of these years to get a home, and then to have it burned for nothing by these ruff necks. I think it is a disgrace and shame. Some of these homes were homes of some soldiers who are fighting for this country. If this is what is go- ing to go on we better send'for them and fight over here. We hope thi: will not end until both murderer *.i¢ property destroyers get the full ex- tent of the law. Respeetfully yours, J. B, ODAIR, R.

It is now conceded that the Greek eyebrow Is quite in accord, with the conception of mere physical beauty In women. Like the rosebub mouth, tt does not indicate the highest order of Intelligence and the arch Is expressive always of greater‘ sensibility and great- er sense of character, says London ‘TiteBits. Scant-growth of the eyebrows Invari- ably denotes lack of vitality: on the contrary, heavy, thick eyebrows indi- cate a strong constitution and great physical endurance. ‘They are not "beautiful on a woman's face, however much they may signify either mental or bodily vigor, and when they are not only heavy, but droop and meet at the nose, they are disagreeable and are sala to accompany an insincere and prying nature. Romantic women usually have a very well-defined arch in the center of the eyebrow, while a sense of humor is in- dicated in the arch nearer the nose. Long, drooping eyebrows, lying wide apart, indicate an amiable disposition. ‘Where the eyebrows are lighter in col- or than the hair, the indications are lack of vitality and great sensitiveness Faintly defined eyebrows placed high xbove the nose are signs of indolene: and weakness. Very black eyebrows give the face an intense and searching expressing: when natural, they accompany a pas slonate temperament. Very light eye: brows rarely are seen on strongly Intel lectual facés, although the color af the eyebrows {s not accepted simply as de noting lack of intelligence; the form gives the key to the faculties and thelt direction. Red eyebrows denote grea fervor and ambition; brown, a medium between red and black. HOUSE BUILDING IN KOREA Operations Always Begun by the Con- , struction of a Most Ingenious ‘System of Fluce. When a Korean hegins to build a house he first lays down a system of ues where the floor Is to be. ‘These flues begin at a fireplace, usually built in an outer shed or in a closed alleyway connected with the house. From the fireplace the flues branch out like the ribs of a fan and end fn a trench at the back of the floor space. ‘This trench, In turn, opens into a chimney, usually built at some dis- tance from the house. When the flues xre completed the builder carefully covers them over with fingstones; he then cements the whole floor and coy- ers It with a sort of thick oiled paper for which Korea ts famous. The rest of the house Is then built round the completed floor. ‘The heating system works in this way: When it ix time to cook the rice for the moralng meal the housewit lights a little straw or brushwood In the fireplace in the outer shed. While the rice is cooking the heat from the fireplace passes through the flues heating the stone flags of the floot and diffusing a pleasant warmth that lasts until It Is time to prepare the next meal. Two heatings a day gen. erally suffice to keep the floor warm On the floor the people sit by day an¢ sleep by nlght. The heavy olled paper that covers the floor prevents an3 smoke from entering the room. Center of Agricultural Production. ‘The center of agricultural produe- tion of the United States, according to the value of crop and animal products for 1917, Is in west-central Nlluols, as shown by a dlagram Just. issued by the department of agriculture.

Really Serious ‘The Newlyweds had unwittingly chosen their abode in the neighbor- hood where scandal was rife. One morning one of the nelghbors sent a hoarse whisper over to her chlet confidant: “What's the trouble between the Newlyweds?" “Her husband tried to keep some- ‘thing from her." “Oh, that's not serious! Men will have thelr little secrets.” “Ah, you don't understand! This ts serious, He tried to keep a dollar and + Quarter of his last week's pay.” { Use Common Sense.

Most famillar are honey and, wax from the bee. 7 ‘There 16 also x Chinese bug which secretes a kind of grease on various trees. This hardens into wax, and is collected, melted and purified, when it becomes white and glossy In appear- ance, and when mixed with oil can be made into candles, ‘The cochineal, a scale insect living on cacti in the Amer- fean tropies, besides haying medicinel qualities, yields the two dyes caHed carmine and lake. While nowadays most dyes are chemically made, the natural dye of the cochineal ta em- ployed fn coloring soldiers’ uniforms, as it stands the weather better than commercial dyes. The pupae of a Mex- fcan black fly which swarms in great quantities near Lake Texcoa are used as fertilizer, No enlargement is need- ed on the work of the precious silk- worni—a native of China which is now raised here also. Commercial shellac Is obtained by melting lac, the reainous substance produced by an East Indian scale insect and deposited in a crust on twigs to contain the insect end its eggs. The export value of lac from Indian ports in one year has risen 2s high as 38,000,000 rupees. Lac has also been used to make dyes, but while the Ine industry {s a growing one, the em- ployment of lac in making dyes has probably had its day. The best lac is obtained from Bengal and the central province of India. It is also used as stiffening for hats, sealing wax,as an ingredient of lithographic ink, in elec trical work and in the manufacture of gramophone records. SPRING FESTIVAL IN CHINA Beginning of the Year le a Time ef Rojelelng Throughout the ‘Whole Country. In the United States one knows that spring has come when he sods ‘boys playiog niarbles and. fying’ kites.-: In Ching, eays the Christian Scignes Monitor, there are regular spring-play- tog festivals that all the people hare ‘2 Dart in and which are especially in. teresting for children, Just when the spring festival comes depends on the moon. It ts the be- ginning of the year In China, and in the first moon the magistrates and ath- er iraportant persons in the town go out in a procession “to meet the spring.” =. It fy at the lantern festival, the 15th of the first month, that the children have the best tlme. Brightly colored lanterns are everywhere, at the doors of shops and houses, and carried tn processions. Boughs of evergreen are also placed above the doors, and there ts an abundance of “moon cakes,” lit tle round sweet rice cakes. ‘The boys dress up in all sorts of fan taatfc clothes, sing, dance and give lt tle plays. They wear masks of ant: mals and of human faces. ° Cémpantee of them go about through the atreets of thelr villages, and from one village to another. Now and then a group o maskers will be seen on high atllts There is a very pretty dance wher every dancer carries a lighted lantern This ts called the lantern dance. Explaining “Mizpah.” Mizpah or Mispeh Is the namé of several towns in Palestine, The name Is derived from a verb of the ancient Hebrew elgnifying to look or watch out. The word occurs in several places in the Old Testament. The first men- tion Is the most significant. Jacob and his prospective father-tn-law, Laban, met on a slope of Mt. Gilead and en- tered Into a covenant. Laban had sev- eral times violated his agreement as to the wages he was paying Jacob, and Jacob demanded a fair deal. When they came to an agreement they ralsed & monument of stones, which Laban declared should be called “Galeed, and Mizpah." “This heap shall be a wit: ness between me and thee this day. The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent, one from the other.” This passage Is used as 8 benediction by the Young People’s So elety of Christian Endeavor. Britich Columbla’a Coal. ‘Writing of the discovery of coal in British Columbia, Johnson in bis “EYrst Thiogs in Canada,” states: “One day in December, 1849, an officer of the Hudson's Bay company in Fort Vic- torla was Informed by the foreman of the blacksmith’s shop that an old Na- nalmo Indian chief bad Just atated that he knew where there was ‘stuff’ like that which the white man was using in the blacksmith’s fire. ‘The Indian was told that if he would bring some pieces of the ‘stuff’ he would have his gut repaired free and recelve a bottle of ram, The chief reappeared in the fol- lowing April (1850) with his canoe laden with coal. A prospecting parts went out and found the coal where the city of Nanaimo now stands, In 1874 thé production of coal from the Na: calmo mineé amounted to 1,000 tons; ln 1896 It exceeded 1,000,000 tons. 2 Ite Kind. “They say that at marriages in the fature there, will be a strictly Ameri- can wedding march.” + = “I suppose It will be something on the order of a two-step.” Paradoxical.

It 1s commonly supposed that ne- groes fearing death-will make all sorts of pronilses because of thelr dread of future punishment. But Prof. Ulrich B. Phillips in “American Negro Slav- ery,” tells the story of at least one old hard-headed fellow who steadfast. ly resisted the hypnotic suggestion of the preacher, and even repudiated glo rification on his deathbed, A Low Iaiana physician recounted to Pro fessor Phillips the final episode in the career of “Old Uncle Caleb,” who had long been a-dying. “Before his de parture, Jeff, the negro preacher, gath ered his sable flock of saints and sin ners around the bed. He read a chap ter and prayed, after which they sans a hymn. Uncle Caleb lay motionless with closed eyes and gave no sign. Jef approached and took his hand. “Uncle Caleb,” he sald earnestly, “de doctor says you are dying, and all de bred derin bas come in for to sce you fo de las’ time, And now, Uncle Caleb dey wants to hear from your own mou! de precious words, dat yo feels pre pared to meet yo God, and Is ready an ‘willin’ to go.” Old Uncle Caleb opened hls eyes suddenly and In a very irri table tone, rebuffed the pious func tlonary in the following unexpectet manner: “Jeff, don't telk yo nonsens to me. You Jess knows dat I ain’ ready to go and dat I ain't prepared t meet nobody . . . dls ole cabit sults me monstrously well!” And s he died. ROYAL ROAD TO HAPPINESS Much Depends on Making Proper Use of What One Ie Fortunate Enough to Posstas. Upon the use we make of what we have depends In large measure not ooty our success in life, but, what 1s tore to the point, our happiness, re- foarks Chatleston News and Courter, It ts because we do not appreciate the Dleditings that we possess that 4a many of ug fall, because common sense tells us that If Wwe have the ability to un- derstsind and appreciate the gifts and favors that are showered upon us we would, at the same time, possess the ability to make the right use of thera, Of course, there are cases where cir- cumstances for the time being at least Prevent us from applying our talents to the best possible use, but such tir- cumstances do not stand in our way all the time, and if we have sufficient determination and perseverance the chances are that we will In the end make good use of what we have, pro: vided we thoroughly appreciate the latter. Our talents, fortunately, do not jal He in the same direction any more than our personal inclinations do, and those things that bring Joy and gratl: ‘fication to one person will not satisty ‘the ambitions of another, simply be- cause the latter's ambitions and abil e are of a different nature. ‘iia fie “How clumsily birds fly,” sald a boy scout, eying the rooks flapping thelr way home. The audacity of this critt- cism from ® youngster staggered me (writes 2 correspondent) ; but, by Jove, he was right. High overhead, higher than one ever saw a bird, an airplane droned musically In Its effortless, {nm perfal way against the sunset, through the fleece of clouds and looping in sheer ecstasy of perfect command of power, swept down to earth in great, glorious curves, That was the twelve- year-old boy's criterion of flying. Hence his almost pltying contempt for birds with thelr flurry and visible output of energy, This lad and his contempo- rarles know nothing of the wonder with which men for untold generations have watched and envied the birds fly ing In the alr.

City of Amiensa In History.
