MOTHERS' DAY SUNDAY. HONOR HER AT SOME CHURCH SERVICE --- KANSAS KANS Vol. IX MOTHERS MIDNIGHT ATTENDS NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS Washington, D. C., May 10.—I told you that I was going to be at the meeting of the National Race Congress, and I am right here now, and it is about to pass into eternity, or into history, and I don't know whether these two words mean the same or not, but it is closing as I write to you, and believe me when I tell you you missed much if you were not here. The influence of this meeting will be far reaching. I am glad that I was here. I have been telling you about the Rev. Dr. W. H. Jernagin, for a long time, and honey put it down that I told you again that he is a great man and that is putting it mildly. I was surprised to find that this Baptist preacher out of his salary has put each year from two hundred to five hundred dollars into this work and will never get it back. He has given time and money and while he has gotten a little cussing here and there some day the people will get around his open grave and praise God for his life. Where shall I begin to talk to you about this wonderful meeting? First I want to tell you that they have decided to guard just a little closer the interest of our people, hence they will open an office right in Washington with Mrs. G. Pelham, one of the best educated, best trained and best workers in this country as executive secretary. She will keep an eye on Congress, let you know what measures are up. She will tell you about justice and injustice that may come to our people—in fact she will just be a bureau of information within herself. Now having you this much, I must bring before you the man that impressed me very much when he delivered the welcome address. He impressed me very much because he is somebody and he is doing something. He stands with his hands out helping the people of his race, and mine too, and for that reason I want you to know Joseph A. Munnerlyn, Grand Master of the Ancient and Independent Order of Moses, with headquarters at 1421 Tea Street, N. W. Washington, D. C. Perhaps you have not heard of this Ancient Independent Order of Moses, (Continued on Page 4.) Everybody likes Marvilus toilet articles. For sale at all drug stores. YOUNG PEOPLES' CONGRESS. The Fifth Connec tional Young People's Congress of the A. M. E. Church will be held in Birmingham, Ala., August 15-20, 1923.

LAYMEN ELECTED TO GENERAL CONFERENCE The Electoral college of the Nebraska conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, at a meeting Wednesday of this week, at Troy, Kansas, elected Thos. Kennedy, Kansas City, and G. A. Gregg, Quindaro, as lay delegates to the general conference that meets in Louisville, Ky., May, 1924. Alternates: E. L. Bell, Atchison, Kansas and Dr. J. M. Mixon, Kansas City. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 "A DANIEL HAS COME TO JUDGMENT." "HEAR YE HIM." The annual sermon to the Pythian Lodges of the City will not soon be forgotten, on the contrary, I believe it will be considered an Epoch in the progress of the race. And all because of the wonderful address delivered by Rev. Bronson of the Metropolitan Temple. No person who heard his plain, simple and honest words of wisdom; could prevent themselves being wiser by reason of them. He gave the philisophy of well-being, and what is necessary to make us what we should be as a part of the community in such clear 'language that none could fail to understand it. He made it plain that the man on woman of our group, who purposely and intentionally patronizes the business and professional man of other races, to the exclusion of such men of our own should forever afterwards be ashamed to hold up their heads in our congregations. And he made it plain, that he meant to teach the duty of our group to deal with their men in business, to call our Doctors when in need of one, and to engage and pay a lawyer of our group when in need of legal services. Surely there will be a falling off in members of our group sitting behind men of the other groups, in their divorce cases and in other legal business. Rev. Bronson always inclined in the right direction, seems to have doubled his determination since the inspiring lecture of the great hearted Congressman Dyer, who gave us a great lesson along the same line. And the one thing he emphasized was that all of our Ministers should take the same step, which has been so ably taken by Rev. Bronson. Volunteers are in order, and their need is patent. The Civic League took kindly to the notion of our establishing Boys' Week to begin one week previous to September, each year, and to end on that day with our celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation. And that within that week, we land our efforts to all those matters,and things properly comprehended in the idea of Boys' week. Let us have more of Dyer and Bronson, it is altogether wholesome and will improve uor group in every way, every day. THE CIVIC LEAGUE WILL SPORT ITS NEW SUITE. The Civic League will appear in its new suite of rooms over the Home Drug Company on the evening of the first Tuesday in June. The rooms will have been newly decorated and new furniture will have been placed, and the new year will begin in high spirits. It was decided on Tuesday night's meeting that on that night each member will be requested to pay his Five Dollars Membership in advance; and those who have paid the one dollar, will be given credit and asked to pay the balance. Out of the funds thus raised, the League will be able to liquidate all bills to date and start off on a cash basis. It was also decided at Tuesday night's meeting to adopt the idea of establishing Boys' Week to begin one week previous to September 22, in each year, and to end with that day in the celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation. And that in that week, we will sponsor all those matters and things properly included in Boys' week. An excellent program will be carried out on this first meeting in June also, at which an excellent lecture will be given. The meeting adjourned with high hopes. CITY BRIEFS AND SOCIETY.

PAUL LAYS CORNERSTONE CORNER STONE LAYING OF THE YORK RITE MASONIC TEMPLE, 10TH AND OAK-LAND, SUNDAY, JUNE 23RD. The Corner stone of the St. Paul's A. M. E. church, corner of twenty-third and Ruby avenue, was laid last Sunday by the F. & A. A. York Masons of which the pastor, Rev. J. A. Broadnax is Grand Master. The Masons met at Casino Hall, corner of twenty-fourth and Metropolitan and were joined by the Heroines of Jericho under the leadership of Mrs. Dovie Cummings, Grand Most Ancient Matron. Fully one thousand Masons and Heroines listened to a masterly sermon delivered by the Rt. Rev. Bishop H. Blanton Parks, presiding Bishop of the Fifth Episcopal district. Promptly at 2 o'clock the line of march from the hall to the church headed by the York Rite Masonic band, followed by the Knight Templars in uniform and the Royal Arch Masons, and Master Masons under the leadership of Dr. J. Franklin Wilson, Deputy Grand Master. Then the St. John No. 9 Masonic band followed escorting the Universal Drill Team of ladies and the Heroines of Jericho. Arriving at the church after addresses being delivered by Bishop Parks and the Rev. Dr. Jas. F. Griffin, a neat collection was placed in the stone of $404.50. The Grand Master, Rev. J. A. Broadnax, with the assistance of the Grand Lodge Officers: Dr. J. Franklin Wilson, D. G. M. Moses Johnson, acting G. S. M.; M. J. Cummings, acting G. J. M.; Clyde L. Briggs, Atchison, Kansas, Grand Secretary; J. W. Wilson, Grand Treasurer; Rev. R. S. Everett of Emporia, Kansas, Grand Chaplain; Wm. Buffinton, Topeka, Kans., Grand Marshall; S. H. Madison and D. W. Hurly, Grand Deacons, proceeded with the ceremonies for the laying of the stone. It was said by all that the occasion was the largest of the kind that ever occurred in this part of the country and too much praise can not be given the pastor for his untiring efforts put forth in making this event immortal. Dr. N. S. Jenkins as master of ceremonies, directed the vast throngs of people in a most dignified way. Masons were present from Bonner Springs, Lawrence, Topeka, Atchison, Springhill, Emporia and a number of other cities throughout the jurisdiction. The Knight Templars were under the command of T. A. Moyze, Grand Eminent Commander. After the ceremonies the Masons and Heroines marched back to the hall and were dismissed, all feeling that the day had been well spent in accomplishing much good for humanity. "Clarice, you look so sweet today," said popular Charlie Ream. "Why, sure, I'll tell you, dear, I use Marvillus Cleansing Cream. MOSAIC TEMPLARS OF AMERICA Fraternal Insurance.

ADVOCATE DRIVE FOR NEW DOUG-LASS HOSPITAL FORG-ING TOWARD THE MARK PLANNED Citizens Who stand for Humanity Are Easily Approached. The old Douglass hospital, that has stood for many years at 312 Washington boulevard and done so much for humanity for all mankind and in the majority cases of pure charity, has outgrown its present capacity and convenience to our racial group and in a few months will move into its new and late quarters at the corner of Lafayette avenue and Walnut boulevard. This corner is without question the beauty spot of Kansas City, Kansas. Its buildings, one of sixteen rooms, a seven room half brick, modern on the north and one of the same kind on the west and a four room cottage, in the rear, will make it possible to take care of 34 patients. The present Douglass can only take care of 15 persons. In addition to these buildings, are'two vacant lots. A nurses home will be established in the cottage, something that has been greatly needed at the present location. The nursing staff will be increased to double its present force. The drive that is on, is for $25,000. That amount will pay for the site, buildings and remodeling. Those who stand for humanity are easily approached in this campaign and are responding nicely towards this fund. The colored doctors of both Kansas cities are greatly interested in a larger and more equipped hospital and are doing much to further its cause. Fortunately or unfortunately, as it may be, our colored doctors are not permitted to make any operations in any of our city hospitals. Rev. J. F. Griffin, pastor of First A. M. E. church, is chairman of the drive committee and states they expect to be in their new quarters about the middle of September, as they don't get possession until September 1 and it will take about two weeks to make some changes necessary before moving.

Remember the program will begin promptly at 8 o'clock sharp, at the First A. M. E. Church, Eighth and Nebraska streets. Hon. T. W. Bell, Attorney, Leavenworth, Kansas, will be the speaker and Rev. J. F. Griffin will deliver the Memorial Sermon. The CLOSING OF WHITE OAK SCHOOL. Prof. King Delivers Address. The annual school closing exercises of White Oak School, Missouri, were held Friday evening, May 4, 1923 at 8 o'clock p.m. A playet in two parts entitled "The Heart of Gold" was given by the school under the supervision of Miss Thelma Smith, teacher. Supervisor J. P. King of Kansas City, Kansas, who is the principal for the new junior high school, gave the annual address for the evening. Winnetonka was truly given an oratorical treat in the address of Professor King who made the smoke wreathed rafters of the little school house by the roadside ring with the eloquence of his address. The hearts of members of both races were touched, the minds of both young and old enriched and deeply imbued with the spirit of greater strength and love by this great man's words. Winnetonka most heartily congratulates Prof. King on his most deserved appointment to his new position as principal of the new Junior High School. The community numbers on the program were as follows: A Reading "Push".Sherwood Murray. Two Readings.....Mrs. Evelyn Hope. A Reading—"The Boys Know Something .....Eugene Hickman. Valedictory Reading.....Miss Rosella Murray. White Oak school wishes to most gratefully thank the members and friends of the community who most loyally supported and aided it in everything it has undertaken for the past season. An exhibit was held later in the hall for school and community which gave a very creditable showing for work done by same. Later refreshments were served. Visitors from Kansas City and Liberty were present in pleasing numbers. The nine week's spelling contest prize was won by Miss Dorothy Hickman, who made anaverage of 96 43-45 for the nine weeks, with thirty 100's during same length of time. The presentation was made by Prof. King. Believe me when I tell you Sue, Your bad complexion will not do, If Marvilus goods you do not try You'll be sorry bye and bye. Rev. J. F. Griffin has great respect for the Mosaic Templars of America, he at one time was the State Grand Chaplain of Alabama.. If you miss this service you will miss a treat. Come out and learn more about the Mosaic Templars of America. You can join during this campaign for $1.25, you will never get this chance again, think it over and see G. D.

E. Horsey. Miss Adams hopes to be able to enter Wilberforce in September. THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Number 39 PYTHIANS AND CALAN THEANS HOLD ANNUAL SERVICES Rev. Bronson Delivers Logical Sermon The three lodges of Knights of Pythias and the five Courts of Calantheans of the city held their annual Thanksgiving Sunday at First Baptist church; corner of Fifth street and Nebraska avenue, Rev. W. A. Bowren, pastor. The Rev. R. D. Bronson, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Temple delivered the sermon Probably in all these years of annual sermons, ever was a more sensible, logical and homeward drive sermon, than the one listened to from the speaker. Subject, "Brotherhood." Dr. Bowren, pastor of the church, welcomed the guests to his church and members. Dr. S. H. Thompson, Grand Chancellor of Kansas Jurisdiction, made a few inspiring remarks, also Mrs. Norene Davis, Grand Worthy Counsellor of the Calantheans, told interestingly the progress of the work of the Courts in Kansas Jurisdiction, in the past six years. Mrs. Moseley, Worthy Counsellor of the day, introduced the visiting Grand lodge, Court members and subordinate officers. General Kennedy introduced the officers of the uniform rank and the visiting companies. Visiting companies were Lillie C., lady's drill team from Kansas City, Mo. Progressive and Victory ladies drill teams and Attucks Company Sir Knights of Leavenworth, Kansas. The Pythian choir, under the direction of Dr. I. H. Anthony, furnished the music, which was a credit to the occasion. Mrs. John Wright of Topeka, one of the race's most charming singers, rendered a solo. Attorney Wm. Towers was master of ceremonies of whose ability is always pleasing to any audience, in his presiding. The display on the streets lead by the First Regiment band, with the four uniform companies and four lady drill teams, Col. Chas. commanding, and the subordinate lodges bringing up the rear, made as usual their clean and attractive showing. The lady drill teams deserve special credit for their fine appearance and that military spirit, shown and their durability in the long march. The one thing most noticed this year in the line of march, was the absence of the Second Regiment and their excellent band from Missouri. It was not their fault, they were not present. Notes of Creditable Mention. Violet Court No. 48, only a few weeks old, made a fine showing with their silk ribbon sashes in their lodge colors. All the Courts made their usual fine appearance and when seated had the semblance of a real flower garden. Dr. Anthony has just found his second calling. Who would of thought it. Lillie C, Company of Kansas City, Mo., received a fine ovation when they were introduced. The two lady drill teams from Leavenworth, Progressive and Victory, come in for many compliments in their fine appearance, from the Brigade commander, also from the multitude, that looked upon them. The subordinate lodges looked excellent on the streets and kept one of the best lines in march that has been seen for years. In good marching it takes music with good time and the First Regiment band has, without a doubt, that time to make an ox keep step. The second battalion, which is made up of Midwest No. 2, Attucks No. 8, Stringer No. 11 and Troop A., could hardly looked better in line. BROADCASTED OVER RADIO. Mrs. H. G. Dwiggins gave excerpts of her Washington speech over the Star Radio Wednesday May 2, the first person of our racial group broadcast over the Star Radio. Many requests were made to hear the entire address that she consented to give it for the general public, Sunday, May 13, at the Citizens Forum, at Metropolitan Baptist Temple.

Rev. C. R. Tucker, D. D., of Quindaro, Kansas, closed a very successful revival at Zion A. M. E. church last Sunday night. It was a five nights meeting with eight conversions. Nine were added to the church. The evangelist came with an object in view and he did not miss his mark. The condition of so many of our young people seem to be the great burden of his heart. The Doctor proved to the people of Lexington that the gospel of Jesus Christ yet has power to save the world and the sweet songs of Israel will beat the movies any day. The movies were on but the Doctor held his crowd and the last night Zion was filled almost to the brim. If you want a messenger with a message for the young as well as the old of your congregation, send for Dr. Tucker. The last night of our meeting, our members were asking, "Why close the meeting so soon?" but declared that they never had had so much success in even a longer space of time. REV. G. W. CROSS. CITY BRIEFS AND SOCIETY. Alpha Art Club met at Mrs. H. G. Dwiggins' last Friday. They will not have a meeting this week, but will meet again Friday, May 18, at Mrs. I. U.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Considering there were so many lodges turning out Sunday, a large congregation attended our church. Pastor Bronson, in a sermon on the "Evils of Lynching," took his texts from II Kings and Luke 20:25. He said in part: "Christian Religion should cover all phases of our life. Is it well with our children and with our wives?" It is not well as long as we are semi-slaves. The evils of lynching widens the cavern between black and whites. If Congressman Dyer can go through the country pleading for us, we ought to do some thing for ourselves. Our prayers will be answered if we put our money together and try to stop all evils that influence some of our children and sinners, and as a race return to God." As the great audience knelt a young man from the choir offered prayer, while Metropolitan sent up a special prayer against lynching. Mesdames Pickens and Andrews sang the duet, "I'll Answer Prayer." The congregation sang "Go preach my gospel," and the choir sang "Love shall reign from shore to shore." This rally ran way over $2300, and near $2000 is paid on the pews. And now a memorial rally will run till the third Sunday in June. Deacons Johnson, Taylor, Oliver, Ford, McCombs and Hulsey were present. At 8 p. m. Miss Cozetta Payne played a pipe organ solo and a memorial program for the late Dr. Morris, president of the National Baptist Convention, was rendered as follows: Hymn, "Servant of God, Well Done," Choir; Prayer, Deacon Stovall; "As I Knew Him," written by Dr. Young of Topeka, and read by Mrs. M. C. Matthews and she also added a poem to it which was asked for by the Pastor to send to the newspapers far away; Hymn, Onward Christian Soldiers," Choir; Reading, "His Essential Virtues," written by Rev. Caver and read by Mrs. C. Rutledge. Chorus, "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," Choir; Sermon, Pastor H. B. Bronson, Rev. 22nd Chap. He admonished young people to take example from Dr. Morris and Christian people. Sacrament which was to have been will be administered next Sunday; and a special sermon will be delivered for all older people on "Mother's Day," May 13. Mr. John Collins, Mr. Wm. Rice, Mrs. M. Hill and Mrs. A. Lake will bring all old mothers and older women who wish to come to church Sunday morning.

Brown, Dr. Blount, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Boone and Mrs. A. Fairfax and many others. Those of Metropolitan who gave the largest amounts out of their pockets beat in the rally. The Children's Church Saturday at 11 a.m., at Metropolitan is doing fine. Mrs. Zulu Jones, who has been sick, is some better. Marvilus is some fragrant talcum try it. 337 Oakland Avenue. Rev. J. A. Cook Pastor. Sunday was an ideal day. The little Sunday School Brigade was on time. Lessons were beautifully recited and they are progressing nicely. The pastor having not yet returned Rev. E. R. B. Quinn conducted services all day. At 11 a. m. he chose Luke 19th chapter, 6th verse as a Text, Subject, "Come Down." The illustrations were fine and Rev. Quinn certainly made it worth while to hear him. Six-thirty p. m. the Bible Band was excellent. We were pleased to listen to a lovely program, very brief but good. Come out next Sunday and be with the Band and also hear the program. Before Divine services at 8 o'clock we had an old fashioned covenant meeting, this being first Sunday. About 25 minutes of 9 o'clock Rev. Quinn selected to entertain us with Acts 14:8. The sermon was brief but excellent and as he preached, souls feasted by the way. Come out next Sunday and be with us.

Fitzhugh, state superintendent of Cradle Roll, had memorial service at Sunday school of the Eighth Street Baptist church. She had Mrs. M. C. Matthews write and read poems on the late Misses Emmeline and Sara Knapper and on Mr. Julius Wilson. These printed poems will be presented to the families of the deceased. EIGHTH STREET CHRISTIAN CHURCH. The Christian church people went into the upstairs of their new church Sunday May 7. The beautiful church was crowded. Rev. Bowren of First Baptist and others talked and Rev. Alphin talked and his choir from Kansas City, Mo., sang fine. Rev. Davis' choir sang well, also; and he deserves great credit for the fine work he has done here. Mrs. M. C. Austin, who formerly lived here, but now of Chicago, who brought her daughter, Mrs. Emma G. Lee for interment, is spending some time with her sister, Mrs. Richard Martin, 338 Walker avenue.

Interest is increasing in the Sunday school work, judging from the new scholars that come to us each week. At 11 o'clock the pastor preached again from his series of sermons on "Atonement," based on the seven words of the cross. This was the sixth sermon in the series taken from the text, "It is Finished." This word was the sixth one uttered by our crucified Saviour while suffering on the cross. Rev. Rhone's method of handling the subject was very instructive. He gave a brief survey of ancient religions, totemihm, fetishism and the like, and showed their inadequacy to satisfy the needs of mankind. With the coming of Christ all forms of religion were ended and the promises of the Old Testament were fulfilled. A large congregation worshipped in the evening services at 7:30 o'clock. We were fortunate in having Rev. Harold W. Barrett, the scholar and pulpit orator of Chicago, deliver the sermon. His wide experience and extensive travels the world over, enabled him to bring to our minds living pictures emphasizing his very practical subject, "Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself." Great inspiration came to all those who heard this spiritual, instructive and evangelical sermon. Why not come to the Allen League? Interesting subjects are discussed and the members are aiming to make it one of the most interesting auxiliaries of the church. A special invitation is extended to all friends to meet with us next Sunday in our Quarterly conference. There will be special music at the 3 o'clock service. NEWS OF YATES BRANCH Y. W. C. A.

Early Learning to Face and Overcome Obstacles is of Highest Importance in After Life. "Let me do it myself," is the insistent cry of childhood. "Let it alone, I can get over it!" cries the small boy, when an obstacle bars his path. He scorns the helping hands that would assist him, struggles with all his might and conquers. Suppose it does take a great deal of time and energy, what is time for, if not to help one's self? He thrills with pride over his power and this achievement prepares him for the next more difficult feat. That mother who wishes to do the best thing for her child will do well to put the brake on her own inclination to make life too easy for him by extending the helping hand when the first difficulty arises. The child learns to do by doing. He learns to walk by walking, and works at it for several weeks in a series of steps and falls. The wise mother deplores the falls, but fully understands that there is no royal road to walking. Every mother should school herself to withdraw her hands and allow her child to do and dare as far as his strength and ability will permit. This should be done in every phase of the child's life. He should be allowed to face his own obstacles, do his own thinking, figure out his own plays, solve his moral and social problems. People learn to think by thinking; to play by playing, and the very best way to learn to live is by living. That mother who deprives her child of the privilege of facing his own problems not only deprives him of the joy of participating in life, but also inhibits his thinking, represses his activity and leads him to evade life. It is now common knowledge that the refusal to face the issues of life brings mental complexes and insanity in varying forms. On the other hand, the child who is allowed and urged to face his problems honestly and solve them to the best of his ability is being trained to live bravely. He will make mistakes, but these very mistakes will lead the way to a better solution of the same or other problems. The mother's part is important in this doing and daring. It is her place to know her child, to know the tasks that he sets for himself and to keep an even balance between his strength and ability and the task which he essays. If the tasks are too hard for the child, his repeated failures will make him cowardly, and he will lose confidence in her who assigns or allows the task. If, on the other hand, the tasks set are such that he can perform them, and he goes from one victory to another, he will feel the deepest love and confidence in her who has led him to that elation which comes only in conquering that which tries one's strength.—Kansas City Star. The Way of Golf. He enjoyed golf the first time he played. He thought it a fine game. He found pleasure and exercise and companionship when it took him 125 to go around the course. He dreamed of the day when he could do it in 100. He would indeed be a Happy man then. He was the first day; after that he was miserable until he had accomplished a 99. That done he has been happy for one afternoon. To be happy in golf, he thought, a man must improve his play just a little. He would be entirely happy and contented when he could shoot the course in 10. He can do that now, but is he happy? He is not. Every time he takes eight for a hole he flies into a temper and becomes the most miserable man alive. Golf is a queer game. The same man who got pleasure out of a whole string of lights and nines a few years ago, is the same man who now thinks an eight a blight and curse.—Detroit Free Press. Motor Han Supereded Horse Motor Has Supervised Horse. Constables of the Royal Canadian mounted police gave a fine demonstration of winter riding with motorcycles during the bolsterous weather of last season in Ottawa. The mounties long ago gave up the use of saddle horses in the capital district, except for show occasions, the force having been largely motorized. During the winter months four motorcycles are in use by members of the R. C. M. P. Two of these are the regular equipment of the force, but motorcycles have proved to be so handy and economical in police duties that two of the constables have also been using their own machines.

RESENT TAKING OF CENSUS Enumerators in India Find Their Jobs Full of Undesirable Thrills— Many Are Beaten. The trials and tribulations of a staff of some 2,000,000 census takers to find out there were approximately 319,000,000 people in India in 1921, have been related by J. Marten, census commissioner for India. The employment of this huge army of enumerators, said Mr. Marten, was necessitated by the fact that, owing to the illiteracy of the population, the employment of the householder as enumerators of his household was impossible. He told of instances of enumerators being stabbed by suspicious Hindus, who considered the census takers too inquisitive. Some of the natives, on the other hand, resorted to violence when bribery failed to induce the census takers to make false entries showing that the natives enjoyed higher stations in the social scale than was really the case. The census, Mr. Marten said, showed gain of 1.2 per cent over the population of 1911. The average density of population over the whole of India was 177 to the square mile. The maximum density of any province was in Bengal, where there were found to be 608 to the square mile. THIS WORM FINALLY TURNED Really Asking Too Much of Him to Sort Out Cats at That Time of Night. * Every cellar window was broken in Mr. Jones' old tumble-down house. Consequently, all the small domestic animals in the neighborhood—particularly the cats—ran in and out at will. Sometimes there was quite a gathering in the cellar, and when a pet was missing, it was the regular thing to go to "Uncle Bill's" door with, "Have you seen my cat?" One evening a nearby family missed their "tortoiseshell" at bedtime, and concluding that she had joined the happy throng at Uncle Bill's, sent their man over to ask him if he would take a look and see if she was among the number. It may have been a day of many similar demands; at all events, Uncle Bill was not in his usual good temper. "Your cat may be there, or she may not be there," he said, "but I ain't a gain' to light up no lamp an' go down in that cellar this time o' night sortin' out cats for nobody!" Broken-Hearted. "The late Lillian Russell," said a friend of the dead actress, "thought that the morals of young people had deteriorated since her own youth. She thought there was no real feeling, any more. "To illustrate her point she used to quote a dialogue between two film stars. "I hope,' said the first star, 'that in jilting young Venables I haven't broken his heart." "You have, though,' said the second star. 'You've broken it, darling, in half.' "What do you mean?' said the first star impatiently. "I mean,' said the other one, 'that he takes two girls out to supper in his car every night now.'" Quite a Difference. It was the old, old scene. Jack had just asked Jill to marry him, and she bowed her blushing head and murmured, "Yes." Their conversation seemed as if it, too, were going to follow the conventional lines. "Jack, dear," she began, "am I the only girl—" "Jill, darling," he interrupted, "don't ask me if you are the only girl I have ever loved. You know it as well as I do." "That wasn't the question at all, Jack," she answered. "I was just going to ask you if I was the only girl who would have you?"—Rehobotn Sunday Herald. The Woman. "John," she said sobbingly, "am I the only girl you ever loved?" Silence. "John, tell me, dear, am I the only girl you ever kissed?" He raised his head and spoke: "I shall tell you the truth, Mary." With a scream of anguish she clapped her hand over his mouth. "Never that, John, never that! A woman only wants to be happy! Lie to me, sweetheart; lie to me and let me believe it." New Dairy Lunch Order. In a filling station for hungry people—commonly known as a dairy lunch—a new order was heard. "Give me some gas and a couple of tires," sang out a young man. Doughnuts and coffee was served him. Stlngv Dad. A small boy was complaining to a sympathetic neighbor of his father's suddenly acquired penuriousness. He wasn't giving his offspring money for ice cream and soda water as before and the latter was greatly stirred over the change in his parent's nature. "Saving, eh?" commented the neighbor. "Yes. Papa says he's saving to buy a baby, but I think I'll be able to talk him out of it"—Detroit News. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Traveler Used to the Quiet of Home Botched the Work in Car Dressing-Room. The chances are ten to one that you think you shave by eye when actually you shave by ear. The other morning Mr. Morton was awakened by the sleeping car porter just as he was getting to sleep for the night before. He arose, pretty foggy, and went into the dressing-room and essayed to shave himself. He had not tried to shave himself on a moving train for a good many years, a New York Sun writer goes on to explain, and the way he lathered up his nose and eyes and hair before lathering up his cheeks was a spectacle that attracted considerable interest among the other men sitting around smoking and awaiting their turns at the wash stands. There even were some in the audience who discussed the possibility of his being intoxicated instead of just being a poor balancer. Under the careful attention of all those present he began to shave himself. Then he made the great discovery. He had not been shaving by eye all these years, but by the sound that the razor had made as it scraped along his face—when it had stopped making a noise that had either meant that his hair had been whittled off or that it had been sufficiently discouraged so it wouldn't lift up for a day or so. But he soon found shaving on the train was different than in the quiet of his home. The train made so much noise he couldn't hear the razor very distinctly. The discovery so surprised him that he said, "Well, say, that's a funny one!" right out loud, just as if his wife were standing beside him combing her hair back at home. Mr. Morton shaved himself, keeping interest up as he did so by throwing his body against the furniture in unique attitudes and striking himself in the face with his razor, so that it gave the audience a chance to talk about laying bets on whether he would go the limit with himself or knock himself out in an early round; and then he sort of fell into the wash basin with the idea of washing his face there, and after that mashed his face against the looking glass a couple of times with the towel in between, and finally turned around and staggered out into the middle of the room, crying out a cheery "Next!" Well, that was the saddest moment of his life. Five men sat there before him, staring up at him as if he were a house afire or a dog fight or something else as important as that; and suddenly, as he stood there looking down at them in considerable surprise and interest himself, every one of those five faces stacked open and began to laugh 9999999999 "Look at that awful map!" sobbed one of them. "Lppjk, at those tufts of wool on it!" "He looks mangy to me," whooped another. "Wow!" wept a third. "This is lulovely! I want to die! I want to die before I wake!" Mr. Morton took one look at his tufted face in the glass and fed. He traveled the next two hours with his head bowed down behind one hand, making out that he was sleepy, and then he got out of the train with his hat sitting on his nose and went home through the back streets on foot. But he couldn't escape his wife. When she opened the door and started to kiss him it was all up. She just laid her neck against the door casing and carried on in a way that is the talk of the neighborhood yet. The Sulphur Industry. The crisis in the age-long sulphur industry of Sicily, due largely to the recent exploitation of sulphur deposits in Louisiana by means of the process of melting the sulphur beneath the ground with superheated steam and then pumping it out, has led to an attempt to re-establish the Sicilian industry by utilizing the raw sulphur mineral itself, together with the finely broken masses hitherto thrown away for the production of sulphuric acid. This comes into competition with the manufacture of sulphuric acid from iron pyrites. It is said that the sulphur mineral has many advantages over pyrites. "Mother's Compliments."

(Continued from Page 1.) and if you have not, of course I will take time and tell you that they have a membership of about 40,000, and I am told that this is a mild estimate of the real membership. They are now in the District of Columbia, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and have stepped up into New England, and it doth not yet appear all the places it sholl go before they are through with this going business. They are just spreading out, and I am told that within the next year they are going to have a membership of over 200,000, and I expect to be in that number, for it is like the number that John saw. It is an order which teaches self-help, which teaches us to do just a little more than bury the dead, or buy a coffin on the installment plan. The subordinate lodges buy and build their own halls, and then the members are encouraged to own homes, have bank accounts. Just now, I am told that they have started a drive for just $25,000 to complete the home of the Grand Lodge in Washington, and this will be easy for the people to raise when they get their heads together. They believe in Grand Mastr Munnerlyn, for he truly is a man among men, and a leader of men. He is well trained, and is not sitting down eating all the income of the lodges but he holds an important position in the treasury department of our own government. He has been in this position for 23 years, and he has not been eating pie and cake all the time, but he has put aside something when pie days and cake days are over. He owns some good real estate and he is educated right to his people. Nothing has swelled his head, but he is just an humble citizen. In this drive they are going to get the race interested in its own affairs. Information will go to every man, woman, boy and girl. The road to greatness will be outlined, and it will make places for many of our graduates who are walking around with no one to welcome them into position. They are going to help in this work of getting into our hands the franchise and I thank God for such organizations. I am willing to follow this grand master, because he is a man with a vision. The Deputy Grand Master is Wm. Davis; Frank Washington is grand vice master; Mrs. Rachel Hawkins is grand recorder; William Westray is grand financial secretary; Henry Naylor is grand high priest; T. T. Hedgman, is grand master-at-arms. I will have something else to tell you abou them in my next letter. Now back to the Race Congress. Dr. Jernagin was elected president for another year, and the vice-president is Rev. J. U. King, vice-president; Rev. C. C. Somerville, recording secretary; and other officers whose names I will not mention in this letter. Before telling you about other things, I want to congratulate Poro college on what they are now doing for us. If you will be beautiful and pretty, Prof. and Mrs. A. E. Malone have decided to help you, hence they are not only helping in the beautiful long hair, but they are now supplying the people with face powder, white, flesh, brunette and brown, four colors and then a fine soap for face and scalp, cold cream, vanishing cream, deodorant, and talcum powder, and it is all first-class and now on the market. These people are making the business world take notice, and I want to congratulate them. We are producing people who are doing things. Death is still at work and we bow to the will of God, for he hath taken from us this week Nelson C. Crews, editor.of the Kansas City Sun, and one of the leading statesmen of that part of the world. He was a friend and advocate of our people and was indeed an orator. I am sorry to learn of his death. Then comes information that Dr. A. M. Moore, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company has gone in to come out no more. I am sure that you know that he also was a great man. He was instrumental in bringing many good things to our people in North Carolina and all over the country. He was a man who believed in his people and a man with a vision. For over a quarter of a century he was superintendent of the White Rock Baptist Sunday school, one of the largest in this whole country. He was just a worker among his people. North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company is one of the strongest companies in this country. It has a standing and a rating with the other old line companies. They have something you call assets in real estate owned (market value) $356,124.01; first mortgage loans, $614,802.64; loans on policies, $123,934.31; Stock, Mechanics and Farmers Bank, and THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE INDUSTRIAL & EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE Military and Educational Encampment A great opportunity for military training, academic training, trades, athletics and sports.

As I told you it is a regular old line company operating on legal reserve basis. In twenty years this company has paid in claims to policy holders and beneficiaries approximately four million dollars; has accumulated insurance in force on the lives of a quarter of a million of Negroes, $38,999,996; has assembled assets of $1,687,619.27 to protect the policy holders; has built and paid for, a fireproof home office building at a cost of $250,000; has and is giving employment to hundreds of our boys and girls; has loaned more than one million dollars to finance Negro property and business and has satisfied the public that its dealings are on the square.

Dear Friends: We can scarcely express to you how grateful we are to you for your sympathy and kindness, your letters of condolence, your beautiful floral offerings and appropriations for shrubbery in the loss of our dear husband and father. You assure us that time will reconcile us to our great bereavement. Our trust in our Heavenly Father, and the great consolation that you speak of, which comes from the knowledge that we will meet our dear ones in a world where partings are no more; will, we believe, enable us to bear our sorrow bravely. God bless you for your thoughts of us in the dark hours, and your sweet words and gifts of sympathy. In loving memory of our dear father and husband, James Bell, who departed this life April 25, 1923: Living of dying Mone are best. Sadly missed by his wife and children, Minnie Bell, Lynn Bell, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Bell. All Set. "Miss Brown, Mr. Gotrocks is at the door." "Is his picture on the mantel?" "Yes, miss." "Are the roses he sent me on the center table?" "Yes, 'miss." "Is that book he gave me on the couch?" "Yes, miss." "Is his box of candy on the plano?" "Yes, miss." "Well, put the dog he brought me into the living room and ask him in. I'll be down as soon as I put on the wrist watch he sent me."—New York Evening World.

Long ago Queen Elizabeth of the Belgians studied the condition of her people, acquiring knowledge which stood her later in good stead. Shortly after her marriage she showed the spirit of humanity by working in the slums of the poorer districts of Brussels and establishing hospitals in many places in Belgium, besides acting as the leader of an association of women who strove to improve the condition of the poorer classes. Distantly Related. With a chilly bow the grass widow returned the perfunctory salutation of the passing man. "Who was that, my dear?" asked her companion. "My husband, once removed," replied the grass widow. A lawn dress is appropriate for a very small citizen. RUGS! RUGS!
