KANSAS PYTHIAN TEMPLE CORNER STONE LAID SUNDAY Fully five thousand people attended the cornerstone laying of the Pythian Temple last Sunday in the five hundred block on State avenue. With hundreds of Pythians, the four uniform companies, with nearly all the other fraternal bodies in the city, two bands, with a mounted marshal, leading, they paraded from Fraternity Hall, 312 Nebraska avenue, through the north and west part of the city to the place where the ceremo- DR. S, H, THOMPSON Grand Chancellor of Sunflower, Pythian Grand Lodge, who made the principal address at the cornerstone laying Sunday. nies were to take place. Thousands were there awaiting their arrival. Mr. N. B. Robinson, board member of the association, was chairman for the occasion, who in a few pointed remarks, introduced Rev. D. A. Holmes as master of ceremonies. The bands played, while the multitude sang a familiar hymn Rev. George McNeal, pastor of Pleasant Green Baptist chuch, offered a fervent prayer. Dr. Holmes in his usual happy way, gave the people at this time an opportunity to contribute on the erection of this monument to every colored person in Kansas City, Kansas, or in fact to the entire racial group. The amount in cash put on the table was $520.96. Dr. S. H, Thompson, Grand Chancellor of the State of Kansas, then was introduced and made the principal address, after which the cornerstone was laid by the hands of the Pythians, Dr. Soanes leading in the sacred ceremonies. At about the close, Col. Don Rife, staff, the Second regiment of Missouri and their famous band, came marching east on State avenue, being delayed on account of the funeral of a Sir Knight. Col. Rife made a few remarks and then ordered his boys to pass by the table and leave an offering. The work on the building will be resumed immediately. Mr. H. A. Merical is holding down the first chair at the Wilson Sanitary barber shop, 1609 North Tenth street. This artist has a name well fitted to his workmanship, as a finished shaver and hair cutter. The funeral of Mr Winston was held from the family residence'Sunday. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 Mrs. J. M. Marcus, the estimable wife of J. M. Marcus, president of Langston University, was the house guest of Mrs. Maude Jarrett, 923 Freeman avenue, for a few days last week. Mrs. Marcus was returning home from a visit in St. Louis. MRS. KINGSBURY OLD RESIDENT IS CALLED HOME On last Saturday an angel came to 1644 Cottage avenue, Kansas City, Mo., and took from that home the dearest and sweetest of its occupants. A wife, a mother, a councillor, a Christian woman, Mrs. Jennie Beckham-Kingsbury. Her illness had been of some considerable duration and while there was pain and suffering during these months, she bore them with patience and fortitude, and always carried a smile. Mrs. Kingsbury was born in Eufaula, Ala., thirty-nine years ago, but had lived in the two Kansas Cities since quite young. Her mother, Mrs. Beckham preceded the daughter the 28th of April, 1920. The deceased leaves a. most devoted husband, one daughter, Rutin; one sister, Mrs. Leota Beckham- Miller, who came from California some months ago and remained with her sister and comforted her in every way possible until the end came. The funeral was held Monday, the 26th, from the First A. M. E. church, of which she was a member. Rev. J. F. Griffin delivered a beautiful eulogy over the remains. She was a worthy member of Prichard Court, Kansas City, Mo., Sheba Chapter and the Daughters of Isis, of which had charge of the arrangements. A number of resolutions were read, showing the fine qualities and Christian womanhood of the deceased. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. Interment was at West Lawn Cemetery. The family have the greatest of sympathy from a multitude of friends in their hour of bereavement.

CITY When I wrote to you last week, I was in Pittsburg, or some other burg, and then I had been in company with the Rev. J. T. Elias, pastor of the Mt. Hebron church, and a man who is a leader of men. It was a source of pleasure to have been with this leading Baptist preacher, and to have met some of his people, although there were some leading men, I did not get to meet for they did not come to church while I was there. I suppose they were moulting and could not find their way to church. I missed them very much and feel that the next time I go to their church they are going to be there. Next found me in Kansas City, where I spent the day and a night at the home of the Rev. W. T. Osborne, pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. church. Their doors were thrown wide open to me and I was told to walk right in and be right at home with them I am sure you are acquainted with Dr. Osborn and he is some worker. I did not get to see the Rev. Dr.Isaacs,pastor of Allen chapel but talked with him over the phone and left him for this place. I have told you what was going on here. the meeting of the Kansas conference presided over by Bishop H. Blanton Parks, D.D., and others. He is the bishop and he is assisted by his presiding elders. I reached the city the day before the meeting of the conference and found getting off the same wagon, Dr. S. H. Thompson, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias. He was down here for a committee meeting, and he shook my lily black hands and said he was glad to meet me and to see one looking so well. He said that Dr. G. C. Hall was doing me some good, and he was glad of it. I did not need to tell him that I was glad too, for he could see that on my brow. We talked, and got on the street car together, and he paid my fare, because he said I was still the guest of the Grand Lodge and the Grand Court of Calanthe. I did not stop to get the ruling of Mrs. Norene Davis on this, for what Dr. Thompson said was law and Gospel to me. Now you want to know the others. I met Mrs. Norene Davis, that queen of the south, the woman who is in the hearts of the women in this section of the country. Then I came in touch with that silent force, one of the most scholarly and business women of our people in this country, Miss Bertha Garrett, the grand register of deeds, the woman who took her time to get some education, and she has been putting it to use. She represented the grand lodge and the grand court on the committee. She represented the financial end, and she is now paying off all bills for the joint committees. I do not know just where Miss Garrett got her finishing touch, but I do know that she is finished and is prepared to handle any business. Then right by her side I found Miss Mattie A. Perkins,-grand receiver of deposits, and a clerk in the office of the Plaindealer. She is also a trained woman. Then there were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Perkins. Mr. Perkins is connected with the office of the General Manager of the Santa Fe road. But now let us take up my (Concluded on Third Page) KANSAS A. M. E. CONFERENCE MET AT TOPEKA Topeka, Kansas, Sept. 26. What might be termed the greatest session in the history of the Kansas African Methodist Episcopal conference closed here last night and the next session will be held in Lawrence Kansas, Dr. T. W. Green, Jr., pastor. Bishop H. Blanton Parks, of Chicago, presided, and during the session he offered some good common sense advice to the ministers—in fact to the whole race. He advocated law and order for America and condemned lawlessnes, crime and lynching. Dr. J. R. Ransom, of Wichita, the recognized leader, spoke in strong terms against the disregard for law in America, and declared that unless the lawmakers, and executors called a halt right now it would not be long before this country would be in a civil war Looking forward he declared that the Ku Klux Klan in this country was leading that way. "Now is the time for President Harding and the Republican party," he said, "to show to the world that the white man can maintain law and order, and we will have to go down in disgrace. The Negro has always been loyal to the flag, and he will march into death as freely as into a royal meal today to protect the Stars and Stripes, and in return we ask that Old Glory will protect our lives and property. Nothing more and nothing less." After a sermon last night by the Rev. Dr. J. A, Payne, and adoption of resolutions of things to our citizens and press Bishop H. Blanton Parks, assigned the ministers as follows: Topeka District—St. John, Topeka, H. W. 'King; Brown Chapel, Topeka, J. J. Watson; Ottawa, R. S. Everett; Emporia, H. D.

Blanton Parks called to order the Kansas Annual Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, and I am here right now, but believe me when I tell you that I will be in Chicago when you read this letter, and enroute to Texas when you read the next one, so you may just as well stop trying to keep up with me for I am one of the most ridingest men in the country.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. METROPOLITAN At 11 a. m., a large congregation listened to a preacher from Arkansas and enjoyed his sermon very much. At 8 p. m. the largest multitude who has ever heard Mrs. Lena Mason, D. D., overflowed the Temple in the large balconies, in the aisles and in their halls and the minister's study. Nearly 2,000 people were there. The writer was a little late and had to go down in the basement and come up to get in. She first made a practical talk about how men should tell their wives their business affairs so if anything happens; then she preached from Genesis: "I have taken off my coat, how shall I put it on?" And many persons shouted as she interpreted God's word in her own way. Six join the church after listening to her, and one joined at the morning service. The collection taken by women by her instructions was over $84. The whole was over $100. That is not counting the morning collection. The church is doing finer than ever. This was the largest crowd since Dr. S. K. Williams preacher at the Union revival. The Mission Circle cleared over $50 at their chicken dinner. Next Sundav, October 2. Dr. Thomas, president of the Baptist College in Kansas City, Mo., will preach; all are invited. Come praying and come to do service for the Lord. A. FRATERNAL DRIVE IN KANSAS CITY, KANS.

CHURCH NEWS Sunday was a large day at First Church, it being the first Sunday of the new conference year and the introduction of the spiritual advisor and leader of this flock for another year, Rev. J. F. Griffin. The lower auditorium was filled and a goodly number in the gallery, to greet with a welcome, smile and hearty grasp of the hand of their returned pastor. Dr. Griffin was full of smiles himself and was looking his best, wearing a new handsome fitting clergymen's suit, presented to him by his board of stewards just before leaving for conference, and the tailor was none other than Mr. McField, an active member of the church. The pastor felt so good and looked so well, that he did not fill his pulpit at the morning service, but one whose reputation as a power, a pulpit orator, a profound thinker was present and delivered the message, that great Gospel preacher, Rev. W. C. Williams, of St. John's church, Omaha, Neb. It was a wonderful sermon "Launch out into the deep." Souls were made to think and then take hold of the word. The evening service was well attended when the pastor filled his pulpit, delivering a strong spiritual sermon. The Sunday school was crowed Sunday morning with men, women and children. The Pastor's Aid board will entertain all of the aged members of the church and any others in the community to a free chicken dinner Sunday, October 9, at the church. Free autos will be put into service for those not able to get to the church. The pastor made a report of the conference Sunday evening, showing First Church still held her place, as the name designates. This (Friday) evening is love feast, and Sunday at 11 a.m. Communion service. The pastor will fill his pulpit while the choir will render some of its new music Sunday. The Junior Choir will also render extra music at the evening service. The public is invited to all of these services. Rev.

"Darling." he asked, as he drew his fiancee closer to him, "am I the only man you have ever loved?" "William," she replied, somewhat testily, "before we go any further I would like to ask you a few questions. You are, no doubt, fully aware that my father is a millionaire something like ten times over, aren't you?" "Y-yes." "You understand, no doubt, that when he dies all of his vast fortune will be left to me?" "Y-yes." "You know that I have $125,000,000 in cash in my name at the bank?" "Y-yes." "And own $2,500,000 worth of property?" "Y-yes." "That my diamonds are insured to the value of $125,000 dollars?" "Y-yes." "My horses and motorcars are worth $75,000." "Y-yes." "Then, for goodness' sake, talk sense! What difference would it make to you if I had been kissed by a thousand men before I met you?"—London Answers. "SHOW" HAD HER APPROVAL Small Girl Enjoyed It and Was Not at All Backward in Telling the World. "Sister" is six, and her delight is Indianapolis. Last summer Ola took her when she went to see Stuart Walker's "Peg o' My Heart." Sister squirmed and wiggled and whispered that "this isn't a real show" until Ola declared "never again." But shortly afterward she and her husband had to take "Sister" along when they went to see the premiere of "Abe Martin" at English's. First, they cautioned her: "For goodness' sake, be still." Imagine their surprise, amusement and also embarrassment when after a lively ensemble, "Sister," who had been shrieking in glee, clapped her hands, and while the whole audience turned to see shrill: "Oh, Ola, this is a real show'cause its got pretty girls and they sing and dance."—Indianapolis News. The Motive. Senator Hiram Johnson was discussing the various restrictions which it is proposed to put on immigration. "We certainly have got to restrict immigration somehow or other," he said, "or the immigrants won't leave the native population room to breathe. "Conditions in Europe since the war are so bad that practically everybody wants to come here. I said to an immigrant the other day: "You immigrants all succeed remarkably in America. I wonder why it is?" "It's because,' the immigrant answered, 'we know that, if we don't succeed, we will have to go back and live in our own land again.'" Quite as Good. A farmer recently paid a visit to a neighbor, and as he passed along by the side of the fields he made a mental note of the fact that no scarecrows were visible. Meeting the neighbor almost immediately he opened conversation as follows: "Good morning, Mr. Oates. I see you have no scarecrows in your fields. How do you manage to do without them?" "Oh, well enough," was the innocent reply. "You see, I don't need them, for I'm in the fields all day my- In Different Classes. A visitor in an Australian home inquired of his host's little son: "Do you go to school now?" "Yes, sir." "And what do you learn—reading, writing, sums?" "Oh, yes, and I learn religion, too." "Religion?" "Yes, I learn the little religion which teaches that we all come from Adam. But my older brother is in a higher class; he learns the big religion, and that teaches that we all come from monkeys."—Boston Transcript. Thought He Was Dying "Stirring times in our neighborhood last night." "What happened?" "The Blitherbys played jazz records until after midnight, so Mr. Grumpson rose from his bed and began to sing, by way of starting a little competition." "I suppose the Blitherbys teok the hint?" "No, indeed. They sent for an ambulance." By Way of Explanation. "Ah!" sighed the presiding elder, "why do so few parents nowadays sing to their children?" "One reason I don't," replied Gap Johnson of Rumpus, Ridge, "is that the last time I tried it they ganged me till their maw had to fling hot water on 'em to make 'em turn loose." Kansas City Star. It's a poor brand of virtue that goes around seeking temptations. More marriages would be successful if fewer men and women were failures. Nothing so ennobles a man as to have some woman believe in his nobility. Four-fifths of the world's hallbut supply is captured in Pacific coast waters. Teach economy. That is one of the first and highest virtues.—Abraham Lincoln. When a man knows but one thing he feels capable of giving advice on all subjects. Cats, unlike politicians, give voice to the most decided utterances while on the fence. Why does it never occur to a boy that he will some day know as little as his father? It is better to have done one's best and lost than to have done one's worst and won. Mice, the most hunted of all animals, are still the most numerous of four-footed creatures. Lake Superior is the world's largest body of fresh water. Its area is 31,300 square miles. Woman's inhumanity to woman causes many men to live and die in the bachelor class. Lot's wife evidently passed some other woman and looked back to see what she had on. Don't form an opinion until you have heard both sides—except in the case of a bass drum. If all the good had not died young there would be a lot of cranky old people on earth now. One hundred lakes in the Tyrolese Alps have subsided and disappeared within the last century. "An act of self-denial always brings a blessing sooner or later to the one who has put self aside." "Some folks fret about yesterday's work, and worry about tomorrow's and seem to forget today's." Vices are among the oldest things on record and yet history chronicles the loss of not a single one. Suitor More Than Willing to Remove Cause for Prospective Father In-Law's Ill Will. The two lovers were talking ever their troubles, particularly the parental objections offered to their marriage. "But," said the youth, "I can't for the life of me see why your father should place any obstacle in the way of our marriage." "Well," explained the girl after some reflection, "I think it stands this way: Father, you know, is always boasting of his lineage. He is forever saying that, his ancestors were gentlemen of leisure like himself, and that you have to work for a living." "Well," continued the suitor, "tell him that I don't expect to after we are married." HAD THE COLORS OF BOTH Young Lady, It Might Be Imagined, Would Be Noticeable in Almost Any Company. Some alumni folks in Philadelphia were getting up a social function, when the secretary happened to mention to one of the members the fact that a young woman from Boston named Higgins would attend.. "Higgins isn't a very attractive name," he said, "but the girl herself is a beauty." "How shall I know her?" asked the other interested at once. "Well," said the secretary, "she's the only girl I know with Yale eyes and a Harvard complex." Useful Statistics. "I suppose Senator Snortsworthy has had a great deal of experience in telling disappointed constituents he couldn't get them a government job." "Oh, yes. But the senator sends most of them away in a more cheerful frame of mind you'd expect." "How does he do that?" "He keeps a chart on his desk to show them they couldn't live on a government salary, anyhow."—Birmingham Age-Herald. Profit and Loss First Tramp—I'm sure hungry. How kn we git a bite, to eat? Second Tramp—I'll tell ya. I'll give ya a black eyg. First Tramp—A black eye! What for? Second Tramp—Sure, then you run and ask that old lady in that house over yonder for a piece of raw meat to put on it. Just a Rehearsal. "Wretch, out of my slight!" "Gosh!" exclaimed the leading man as he paused to mop his brow, "this is warm work." "We're not getting a nickel for it, either," groaned the leading lady.—Birmingham Age-Herald. Willing to Accommodate. "I see by the papers," said the convict to the warden, "that-the prison is greatly overcrowded." "Yes," replied the warden. "Well," said the convict, "I was just going to say that if you've got a customer that really wants my cell I'll pack up and go so as to make room for him." One cold morning this week we sat on a street car musing. Sitting a couple of seats ahead was a young female with just a short-sleeved see-more shirt waist on the upper part of her person, while standing in the aisle was another young female wearing a long-sleeved shirt waist of heavy cloth and a heavy winter coat. A number of times she drew the heavy coat more closely around her neck to keep warm. Hence we figure it is in the blood. But after seeing how comfortable the lingerie woman was with no clothes, we are going to keep a close watch when the weather gets to zero, as we expect to get sight of icycles dangling from the fur under the arms of the lingerie kind. FATTY ARBUCKLE ET AL. Well! Well! Well; What do you think of that Fatty Arbuckle, accused, strongly accused, of a nasty murder? It is simply outrageous that a man with as much money and booze as he has would let the matter of a woman's death get out in the papers. The reason we think so is because the wealthy men of Kansas City, Mo., who are said to be entangled in the worse than murder scandal have succeeded so far in keeping their names out of the big dailies. There are several sad, serious and nasty situations to the Arbuckle mess and one really comical—what man is there, separated from his wife five years that could imagine, even with a shot of coke in him, that he could ever bring her back lovingly and trustingly into his dear sweet arms by pulling a stag party with a bunch of heifers in which one of the heifers died because her physique was not that of a Holstein cow, begging pardon of course of the Holstein cow for mentioning her in such company. Yes, we know that it has often been said that "you never can tell what a woman will do." We firmly believe you can depend on a woman, but not everything that wears dresses; further than this we would say the less dress she wears the less you may depend on her. During the early days of Arkansas's statehood, a justice of the peace sentenced a man to hang for the crime of stealing a shoat. The unfortunate's attorney heard of the matter and rushed over to the court, exclaiming in righteous indignation: "Man alive! You haven't got the authority to pass such a sentence as that! You can't hang that man-" The J. P. side-tracked his whiskers, parked his quid in the sandbox, and, pointing out of the window, replied: "I can't her? Wa'al jest look whut's hanging out yender-on that tree, an' mebbe you'll change your mind about it." Maybe the J. P. couldn't do it, but anyhow, he did PUBLICATION NOTICE In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas. Louis Petty, Plaintiff, vs. Maggie Petty, Defendant.

AGENTS WANTED The Kansas City Advocate. Friday Sep. 29 2023 MIDNIGHT MEETS MEN AND MAIDS (Continued from First Page) reaching town and what happened to me then and what has been happening ever since.. I got on that steel wagon and had to change in order to get to the church. I noticed two distinguished looking gentlemen of my race on the car. I said to one of them: Mr., do you know where the A. M. E. church are?" Both of them looked at me, and then with an eye of sympathy, Dr. Jackson assured me that he would tell me where and when to get off, and I thanked him, and just about that time Mrs. Josephine Wright, that noted singer of my race and your race, too, came in and shook my lily black hands just like I was some pumpkins. She told me that I had been assigned to stop at her home and that I was as welcome as the flowers in May or June, for which I thanked her. By this time I had reached my street, and Dr. Jackson informed me that I was at the getting off place. I got off, went to the church and my things were sent to Mrs. Wright's home. Now then about Mrs. Wright. She is a queen of songs She has been al over the civilized world, so far as I know. She has been before the crowned heads of Europe—in fact, she spent ten years right over there in Europe. It was great, and believe me she is some singer. About 21 years ago she quit the Blind Boone Concert company to become the wife of Hon. John M. Wright, who was treasurer of the City of Topeka and held that position for a long time. He is now the deputy county treasurer. Now you see I am in some home and with some pumpkins. Right across the street from my stopping place is Prof. E. Ridley, one of the principals of the schools here and a man of great parts, and the same can be said about his wife, and two daughters, and right on the corner is the king of Africa, Samuel Blackwell, and I shall talk about him later. He is connected with the Topcka post office, holding an important position, and a worker in the church. Having gotten right in this, I was present at the opening of the conference and had the pleasure of seeing them open. Bishop Parks was at himself, I am not going into details, but the first thing to claim my attention was Dr. J. R. Ransom, and they have it that he is to take unto himself a bride, but just when I am not prepared to say Dr. Ransom is a recognized leader in this city, and is as straight as a man can be, and not be a grafter. He is doing all in his power for his people. I was delighted to come in direct touch with a leader, and I hope some day to see him a bishop. There were many visitors down here. I was'delighted to see the Rev. Dr. Griffin, of Kansas City, Kans., Dr. W. C. Williams, of Omaha, Neb., and some others whose names I do not remember. But they were here from every direction, and seemed to enjoy being here. I looked around and touched these men for who should last the longest, and then I turned my attention to getting out. It was a great big conference and there were great big people in it and I met many of them. I had the pleasure of meeting the Rev. Dr. F. Jesse Peck, president of Western University, Quindaro, Kansas, the school that is doing so much for my people. I was delighted to meet him, to see him, to come in touch with him. The conference is progressing, and many things are happening. Bishop Parks has spoken right out in church against crime, against lynching, against Ku Klux Klan and every other break against law and order and I don't blame him for doing this. He is a man who is not afraid to speak out for his people. I felt a little like saying some few things which would not do to print in a Sunday school quarterly, but refrained from doing so. I had the pleasure of shaking hands with Prof. J. L. Harrison, one of the finest men I have had the pleasure of meeting in a lifetime. He is a scholar, refined and cultured and truly a leader for us. He is a man who believes in doing things. He is prepared to help our boys this winter, and when I say our boys I mean the American boys. He is to be connected with an important institution which is the haven for many boys. He is going to help them in their search for a man. Now you see I am writing and will have to bring this letter to a sudden stop, for I fill a whole paper. Mrs. Wright has been a trained nurse for me this week. She has looked after my diet, my eating, my medicine, and with all of her money and standing she has even washed some things for me, and made me just at home. Her husband joined in this hearty welcome reception. I shall have more to say in another letter. Sunday will find me in Chicago at Quinn Chapel, and I expect to return next week and spend one or two days at the Baptist state convention in Atchison, Kansas. Look for my next letter. 4 J. O.

BIRD AND COUNTY BOARD DIFFER The assessor's office showed $42,020,960 of taxable property, but the county board of equalization thought that the grain elevators and banks were hit too heavily, so they chopped off more than six million dollars worth of taxable property from these two businesses. It is a rare thing to have an assessor that assesses corporations and wealthy concerns as they should be. W. G. Bird seems to be blind to everything but justice. He believes in putting the taxable property on the tax list. DRESS MAKING AND TAILORING For Fina Dress Making and Remodeling. We guarantee own work.

' (First published Sept. 23, 1921) Somatism and Neuritis Yield Treatment in Which Purple Rays Play Big Part. The usefulness of "sun baths" for health has long been recognized. Unlimited sunshine has much to do with the beneficial effect of a vacation at the seashore. Nowadays this matter is better understood than it used to be, and it is known that the heat rays of the sun have nothing to do with the physical benefit obtained from such exposure. It is the chemical rays in the sunbeam—particularly the ultra-violet rays—that do the good work. Electric light is rich in these rays, and many cures of rheumatism and neuritis have been accomplished by exposing the affected part of the body to a powerful incandescent lamp, its rays concentrated by a hemispherical reflector. For curative purposes physicians have turned to useful account a sort of cabinet lined with such lamps, into which the patient, lying on a padded board, could be slid. The newest method employs a quartz lamp containing mercury vapor, through which the electric current is passed. Quartz has the advantage of being extraordinarily transparent to ultra-violet rays. Such a lamp, made in the shape of a tube of small diameter, can be introduced into the nasal passages for the treatment of catarrh or into the throat for the cure of infected tonsils, thus saving the patient an operation. Philadelphia Ledger. DON'T FAVOR WEDDING RINGS Men Dislike Them, but Most Women Insist on the Gold Symbols of Matrimony. "When I marry, I won't insist on my husband wearing a wedding ring, as people might think he was henpecked," said a pretty miss to a friend recently. According to a jeweler, 80 out of 100 brides do insist, however, says the Milwaukee Journal. "During the month of May most of the newly engaged drop in for their rings. Occasionally the young man, after selecting a ring for the girl, tells the clerk that he doesn't want any for himself. "The girl will look at him quickly and say: 'Oh, yes, you do, John dear,' and he buys one. In the majority of cases a plain gold band is selected, but lately a few carved and engraved rings have been sold." This, of course, does not prove that men wear the rings. A certain young man, on leaving the house in the morning, places his ring in his vest pocket. When leaving the car, on returning home, it is again slipped on his finger. In this way both wife and hubby are perfectly satisfied. Newspaper Advertising. Newspaper advertising enables manufacturers to check advertising results and costs in every market they enter. Newspaper advertising, costs less than any other kind.—From the Fourth Estate. Every House Numbered in India. Numbering houses is an important preliminary to census-taking in India. Nearly 12 months in advance of the census date all the villages in the empire are scheduled, and every house is numbered. In some provinces the census authorities determine in advance the size of the number and specify the proportion of red ochre and oil, or other ingredients, forming the substance with which the number is to be painted. Racial prejudices have to be considered. In Hyderabad objection is made to tar because of the color, while in other districts the natives consider red ochre unlucky, and if it is used they erase the figures. In the case of huts made of leaves, and also when objection is made on account of caste restrictions to the numbering of houses by enumerators, the numbers are painted on bits of tin, tiles, or pots, and are usually treated with great respect by the natives. "Burying the Hatchet" The origin of the synonym for forgetting old quarrels, "Let's bury the hatchet," is traced to an ancient custom of the North American Indiana. After indulging in the most ruthless warfare, tribes would assemble at what they believed to be the "call of peace." This, it was supposed, was uttered by the Great Spirit, and in the course of a great council and amidst singular ceremonies, they would smoke the calumet, or pipe of peace, and bury their tomahawks under a mound erected in the center of the smoking circle. This was equal to an agreement that all enmity was at an end, and the spirit of peace had settled on the camp. Page Three.
