Building to Be Fire Proof. Bishop H. B. Parks, Presided. At the call of the chairman of the board of trustees of Western University, Bishop Parks for Tuesday, at the University, to make and lay plans to rebuild Ward and Parks Hall, that was destroyed by fire early last Wednesday morning, March 19th. Missouri, Kansas and Colorado, was well represented by both ministerial and laymen, besides many other interested ministers and laymen of this great school. Bishop Parks called the meeting to order at 10 o'clock a. m. in the music room of Stanley hall. The matter of replacing these two dormitories were immediately taken up and discussed by the board. All day was spent in planning and making ways and means to place in operation a building program to have replaced by next school year a greater edifice of modern architecture than the one whose only mark of the old hall is the tottering walls. Architects and contractors were called in who gave ruff estimates at this time as to the probable cost of such a building the board desire to be erected. A special committee was appointed and instructed to give out to all the conferences, members and friends at once such literature as might appeal to them the great need at this time of their support to erect the new structure. The building is to be fire proof with an auditorium seating capacity of 1,500 and a gymnasium of large capacity. The board will meet again Wednesday, April 16th. YATES BRANCH Y. W. C. A.

Esteemed Neighbor: I have the check in settlement of two weeks sick claims. I wish to thank you for your promptness in the payment of same. I have been identified with fraternal organizations for a goodly number of years, and I think I can state without fear of successful contradiction that the American Woodmen pays its obligations more promptly than any other fraternal organization that I know of. I am pleased to note that the local Camp at its regular meeting, March 18, passed a resolution to pay $5.00 a week sick benefits, and that this has been approved by the Supreme Camp. Good. This is indeed a step forward and puts us in a position to offer to the Race the very best in fraternal insurance. I am able to be up again now, and shall be glad to make known the mes sage of Woodcraft at every opportunity. With best wishes, I am Fraternally yours, (Signed) J. T. HARDEN.

TUNING IN ON ONE OF THEM CABARETS (Copyright, W. N. U.) CITY LAWYER ANDERSON IS INDORSED FOR THE LEGISLATURE EIGHTH DISTRICT Forrest B. Anderson, a lawyer of high standing before the Wyandotte County bench and bar who on Sunday March 16th, was unanimously indorsed by the Universal Negro Improvement Association for representative to the Kansas legislature, he will run in the 8th district on the republican ticket. The 8th district is composed of wards one, two and three which are strongly republican and make up the black belt of Kansas City, Kansas, the colored have about sixty per cent of the vote and can easily elect Mr. Anderson, without one white vote. Lawyer, Anderson, ran for the THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK legislature two years ago without the aid of any organization and came within 700 votes of winning the primary election, he received a surprising number of votes in the white precincts which prove him to be a strong and logical candidate and a hard man to beat if properly supported. Lawyer Anderson is a self-made man, he was born on a farm in Lafayette County, Missouri. Being a member of a large family of eleven children and while still in his early teens he emigrated to Boston, Mass., where he worked his way through the grades schools and through college returning to Kansas City, about eight years ago where he has since been engaged in the practice of law. Some of the measures which Lawyer Anderson will urge if elected will be a civil rights law, a law that will take the 14th amendment out of that class of dead letters and ADVOCATE BISHOP H. E. PARKS PREACHED AT SAINT PAUL LAST SUNDAY St. Paul A. M. E. church, its members and friends, were highly honored last Sunday in Argentine, with the presence of Bishop H. Blanton Parks of Chicago, the presiding bishop of this, the Fifth Episcopal District. A fine congregation greeted this giant man of God and greatly enjoyed his wonderful sermon, at the 11 o'clock service three came forward and joined the church. Offering for the day was $62.00. The bishop was well pleased with the progress the church is making under the leadership of its pastor, Rev. JJ. A. Broadnax. The $3,000.00 rally for the first Sunday in May, is doing fine and everything looks toward a great victory for God and His church. Mrs. Cora Broadnax has returned from JuJunction City K,ansas, where she was called to the sick bed side of a sister. She left her much improved.

March 27.—When I took my pen in hand to write to you last week I was down in Florida, and here I am today in Louisiana, and I am rejoicing with you that there was enough backbone in the president of the United States and the United States senate to put Hon. Walter Cohen over, and now I am ready to say Mr. Coolidge, if you can go into the convention and get the nomination, then you will have my vote, and I will roll up my sleeves and work hard for your election. I was just wondering if we realize that all the real men are not passed into eternity, but here and there you will find one who will stand for the right. One if you make him president, he will be president of all the people and not a few. I was thinking that if there had been—well I am not going to say anything that would reflect on the dead, for heaven will take care of the dead and my words must be words of kindness. But I cannot help but think about the Register of the United States treasury. Let that pass into history as it has done, and let us pray. The New Orleans Times-Picayune says that the confirmation of Cohen is a direct insult to the South, and will cost President Coolidge thousands of votes, and will mean his defeat. I agree that it will cause the republican party to lose the electoral votes of Louisiana, but what in the hen feathers do we care about the votes of Louisiana, for if the republican party should get them it would mean the end of time, and the devil would come direct out of his home and inhabit this state as his kingdom. Permit me to say, that while Louisiana is lost to the party forever it will have my vote and the vote of my people in Illinois, and one vote from me in Illinois, is worth one thousand in Louisiana, and you may put this in your pipe and smoke it. That I was born on the dark of the moon, or Mr. Cohen was born before the McKinley tariff was placed on dark goods should not have a thing to do with the real manhood. I am here to say that the devil is going to get a whole lot of people on this color business. I am thinking of those who have been burned, hanged, shot to death on the ground of their color, the howling mob who have battered down jails and have taken from the custody of the law men without trial and put them to death. "Lord where will they be assigned at the last day, or when they leave this world?" So many of them already have left here and did not leave their new addresses, se we do not know where to reach them. While I am writing to you this week, permit me to inform you that I have been called upon the record that another great man has stepped into the Great Beyond and this time it is a prominent character—a historic character—a hard worker, and a man whose name will ever live in the hearts of the people of this country, especially of Mississippi, and that is Isaiah T. Montgomery, founder of Mound Bayou, and a wonderful character. He has stepped over home, there to await our arrival, for we shall some day join him. One by one we are crossing over Jordan. I thought I would have gone on ahead of him, but the Lord knows best. I have been talking about preachers and preaching, and now I am going to come back to the educational question, for if you know or even look at where I am, you will at once decide I am mingling with educators, and you put it down that I told you that I am just in it. I am some pumpkin and not mere squash. I am going some and will go some more. I have been to Mobile, Alabama, and from there made it to New Orleans and had the pleasure of visiting New Orleans College, and then I left there and made my way to Baton Rouge. I stepped to the telegraph office, put in a call for Prof. J. S. Clark, telling him to hold the fort.for (Continued on page 2) (Continued on Page 3.) --- MRS. M. C. MATTHEWS, Society Editor. MRS. F.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Rev. F. R. Sims, A. M., D. D., presiding elder of Fitzgerald district, South Georgia conference, one of the old war horses of the A. M. E. church, after many years of service for God and His church, comes before his brethren of the church of Allen, at the General Conference, that meets in May at Louisville, for their suffrage in electing him to the episcopacy. Dr. Sims is known to the church as one of its great preachers and educators. He has the honored distinction of having two sons, the Revs. D. R. Sims, vice president of Allen University, Columbia, S. C., and G. T. Sims, pastor St. John station, Pine Bluff, Ark., as delegates to the general conference at Louisville. Dr. Sims has held many positions of trust, in church, state and government. He has a record of thirty years in the ministry, coming from the smallest of mission churches to the great metropolitan churches of his state, and this quadrennial meeting he will have been honored of being a representative from his conference since 1900. In his thirty years of service he has received into the church 5,000 members. "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" When he was regent, George IV made a bet with Richard Sheridan, the dramatist, that so little attention would be paid to the reading of his speech that he could interpolate any nonsense he liked without any one showing surprise. The bet was accepted. The regent paused in the course of the address and said distinctly, "Baa, baa, black sheep," and then went on. No one took notice of the strange words. Chagrined at the loss of his wager. Sheridan asked George Canning, the premier, if he had noticed anything strange. "Oh, yes," said Canning, "I heard the prince say, 'Baa, baa, black sheep,' but as he was looking straight at you at the time, I took it for a personal allusion." What a lot of stitches men drop when they attempt to mend their ways! It's some satisfaction to the widow to realize that she looks well in black. At the church festival the oyster dodgeth allike the just and the unjust. Strong passions work wonders when there is stronger reason to curb them. Stubbornness doesn't deprive us of so many enjoyments as backwardness. Hard-bolled means the opposite to sentimental. Medium bolled is about right. Dangerous The Honolulu Star-Bulletin publishes what is hailed as the first genuine mah-jongg story. "There has just come to Honolulu the story of a maid who went to the lady of the house and said she feared she would have to find another place. 'But why?' her alarmed employer asked. 'Because,' the maid replied, 'I fear your husband is losing his mind. I found him on his hands and knees in the living room, and when I asked him-what he was doing, he said he was looking for the East Wind." Acme of Saving When a street railway company recently announced its fares were to be reduced from eight to seven cents the sole objection was registered by a man renowned as the city's "tightest" citizen. The company asked an explanation. The man wrote back: "Every day I walk ten squares to my office and ten squares back home, thereby saving sixteen cents. If you cut the fares I'll only save fourteen cents a day." THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH Located Cor Eighth and Nebraska. C. E. BROOKS, Pastor. Parsonage 1111 N.

Brooks, Sunday morning at 11 a.m. Dr. Brooks was at his best and the vast congregation received to their souls good, strong meat. Many at the close of service congratulated the pastor in his splendid sermon. The Senior choir rendered, as they always can, sweet spiritual music. The pastor delivered the message at the evening service to a good Sunday evening audience. The Junior choir stirred up the audience with spiritual songs of Zion. A fine Sunday school attendance at 9:30 and a very profitable lesson taught by the efficient teachers. Junior Allen League had its usual interesting meeting, at 5:30 p. m., and its attendance was good. Rev. Brooks preached the communion sermon at Ebneezer, Rev. Griffin's church on the Missouri side Sunday afternoon. A large number of First church members accompanied their pastor. Sunday will be the last Sunday service in March. Come and enjoy a great feast from the pulpit. Visitors and strangers always have the warmest welcome at First church. CAUGHT IN PASSING What's bred in the bone comes out in the soup. Hunger is a necessary evil; it promotes industry. Ignorance of the law excuses no man who hasn't a pull. Poor men live longer than rich men. The only wholesome fare is simple. Probably a sweet disposition has its own way as often as a muleish one. Money may furnish a home in the suburbs, but it can't always hire a girl. Laughing at ridiculous propositions at first would save fighting over them later. A penny saved is a penny earned. and a dollar saved is one you didn't loan. In after years a man wishes that he was half as smart as he used to think he was. Woman can speak with her eyes—but she doesn't often give them a chance. The mistakes of a really great man only make his virtues seem stronger by contrast. There's this about a genuine hope in heaven: It makes one happier on earth. Each instrument in a brass band is so loud the player knows he's necessary. Every man has some sense of humor; but it isn't all alike, by any means. The kissable girl is the one who pretends that she doesn't want to be kissed. It is the one season of the year when no one sits on the small town courthouse steps. Honesty doesn't change much through life. Honest once, always honest, as a rule. Travel is only good as an antidote for monotony—to be administered at long intervals. A self-made man usually has judgment enough not to do too much remodeling in the process. Potters' field is as comfortable a final resting place as the most magnificent mausoleum. Perhaps it is conscience that keeps the good man down, when the conscienceless one goes right ahead. Whenever a valuable painting disappears from some European gallery it is the custom of foreign police departments and detectives first to watch ships sailing for America. This practice resulted from the fact that in past years many famous paintings were stolen and then smuggled into the United States. Among the more valuable paintings which were hidden in America are Gainsborough's "Duchess of Devonshire," which lay hidden in New York, Brooklyn and Boston warehouses for 25 years, and a portion of Murillo's "Vision of St. Anthony," which was stolen from St. Mary's Cathedral, Seville, says a writer in the Mentor. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES The largest congregation since the Sunday series of sermons attended March 23rd. The crowd extended into the balconies. Pastor Bronson preached an instructive sermon, "Love." In part he said "The plant we call home, which manufactures people, is the greatest plant in the world." The home should supply Heaven with saints. "When young folks go to courting they should presuppose marriage. Love is the giant power of the world for the best species of mankind. Divine guidance is necessary in wedlock. Abram and Saria were used as illustrations. The Junior choir sang well and the audience was spellbound over the sermon. At 8 p. m. Mr. Fitchue sang a spirituelle as a solo, and the Junior choir sang "Depth of Mercy," and "Pass Me not," beautifully with the large congregation. They also sang an anthem again. Dr. Bronson preached on Satan's messages to deceive people. How he even tried to deceive our Saviour. "Twas a more penetrating sermon than the one in the morning. He lifted up Christ much more and caused one to be converted. This Sunday, March 30, there will therefore be a "Baptizing." The S. S. is doing fine and many Bible classes are doing well. The children are practicing for Easter. Miss Burke had a good paper at B. Y. P. U. and Mesdames Lake, Harris and Calhoun sang a trio. The Mission Circle had a large meeting last week, also the Sewing Circle. The Wide Awake club will have Judge Harrison speak at a reception Tuesday, April 1st, and Ex-Mayor Burton is expected to introduce him. The New Comers' Club has a measuring party April 6th. The Music school had Cameron White March 25th. The Forum is very much alive. Mr. Hitch of New York City, Mr. Reed of K. C., Mo., and Prof Wise's fine chorus sang recently, and a man from Africa talked to a large crowd. Next Sunday, March 30, the Federation of Clubs are expected to have a program. Come to Metropolitan Baptist church to its many great sermons and great entertainments. TRINITY A. M. E. CHURCH. Corner Fourth and Stewart; Rev. S. D. Rhone, Pastor, 128 Greeley, Fairfax 2330—Rev. N.

Miles of Pipe Bring Water From Mountains To bring mountain water to Tulsa, Okla., from a source 60 miles away in the Spavinaw hills, a pipe line five feet in diameter is being laid. Scheduled to be completed early in the spring, it will carry the fluid to a community of 100,000 persons at the rate of 25,000,000 gallons a day. The water will be brought to a low spot within five miles of the city by gravity, and from there pumped to a second reservoir on the highest of the surrounding hills. The system is declared to be one of the longest gravity pipe lines in the world, and will cost approximately $7,000,000—Popular Mechanics Magazine. Wear Sandals to Save Floor In order to preserve the floor of the Westminster abbey chapter house in London, visitors are requested to remove their walking shoes and put on sandals before entering. The floor in the historic building dates back to 1290. The rule is enforced strictly and there is a watchman at all times to see that it is carried out. A generous supply of sandals, including all lengths and widths, is kept on hand. Unanimous When the term of the old negro preacher had expired he arose and said: "Breddren, de time am heah fo' de relection ob yo' pastoh for anudder yeah. All dose faborin' me fo' yo' pastoh will please say 'aye.'" The preacher had made himself rather unpopular and there was no response. "Ha," he said, "silence gibs consent. Ise yo' pastoh fo' anudder year." FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Kansas City, Kansas. Rev. W. A. Bowren, D. D. Pastor Sunday school, 9:30 a. m.; preaching, 11 a. m., and 8 p. m. B. Y. P. U., 6:30 p. m.

The friends and members of Mount Olive church met Sunday and had a glorious meeting. The Sunday school had a good gathering. The pastor's text Sunday morning, Zech. 4: 2-3, "And said unto me 'What seest thou?' and I said, 'I have looked and behold a candle-stick all of gold with a bowl upon the top of it and has seven lamps thereon and seven pipes to it, seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof; and two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl and the other upon the left side thereof." Subject, "God and Christ will keep and take care of the Church." He proved that the church is well protected by the Spirit of God and Christ and it dwells in the hearts of individuals. The Holy Spirit's blessings showed upon his hearers who enjoyed his discourse. The B. Y. P. U. met at 5 p. m. and had a good session. The speaking meeting was held at 3:30 p. m. and many friends and members participated. Many good advices and addresses were presented in the program. The evening service was spiritual and many testified for Jesus. The night service was excellent. The pastor's text, "What Shall We Do With Jesus of Nazareth?" He proved that this great question, though spoken by a Roman governor (Pilate) still passes on throughout eternity, and comes before every individual for disposition. His remarks, though short, were so good and sweet that 15 sinners came forward for prayer. The contributions were good. Come to church. Read the Advocate. ST. LUKE A. M. E.

DIRECTORY OF MASONIC LODGES And the sweetness of some women reminds us of sugar-couted pills. When a woman's teeth chatter they usurp her tongue's prerogative. When a man contracts expensive habits his income needs expanding. Complaints of married people at the seashore are murmurs of the tied. Patriotism is something to be felt and not too much "blowed about." Some women seem unable to appreciate men who act like gentlemen. Some Fine Spring Bargains 7-Room House, 1 acre, 100 fruit trees.

All the highest aristocracy was invited, but the soup course had only just been served when the old fellow fell into a deep sleep. "For two hours he slept like a log. Etiquette would not permit him to be awakened. The banquet was held up. Finally the prince came to. He looked about him. Everything seemed all right, and he told himself that his lapse, a lapse no doubt of only a minute or so, had completely escaped notice. "Now," he said, and he rose with a beaming smile, 'now we will adjourn to the drawing room for coffee.' "Refreshed by his long nap, the old prince thought he had dined, and he talked brilliantly in the drawing room till long after midnight. Then, at last, famished guests could hurry home for something to eat."—New York Herald. PUBLICATION NOTICE In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas. Evan H.

WM. H. TOWERS, Attorney for Plaintiff. (First published March 28, 1924.) Glass-faced bricks with concrete backing have been more or less used in various parts of the country. They seem to be superior to any form of tile or glazed brick as a lining for tunnels, swimming pools or bathrooms; for the inside walls of garages, engine houses, prisons, meat markets and other structures where perfect cleanliness is as desirable as difficult. They are heat and cold resisting, requiring no paint or other treatment to preserve their appearance. For shops and factories the concrete-backed glass brick would seem an almost ideal material. The construction of the brick is as follows: To a glass facing, one fourth inch thick at its thinnest part, is attached a well-proportioned concrete back. The concrete backing is attached to the glass front by three separate means, each entirely sufficient to secure the union of the two materials. First, the cement on the concrete adheres to the glass; second, both ends of the glass face are returned by greater than a right angle, thus imprisoning the concrete mass; third, a dovetailed rib of glass traverses the entire length of the back of the facing, at once strengthening the glass face and also securing it to the concrete body. The glass face is one sixteenth of an inch larger all around than the concrete body, thus making it possible to be a good mortar bond, notwithstanding that the mortar between the faces of the glass may be almost entirely pressed out. The glass bricks are laid in exactly the same manner as are any other finished brick. Vegetable Tablet Said to Give Plants En The admiralty is experimenting with a new extract, in tablet form, of watercress, spinach and other green plants. It is called phyllosan and it may supersede lime juice for the treatment of scurvy. Phyllosan is the discovery of Prof. E. Buergi of Bern university, and is made from chlorophyll, the vital fluid in plants which bears a close chemical relationship to human blood pigments. "The theory of transferring plant energy to enfeebled members of the human race was expounded by Dr. A. White Robertson, the famous army surgeon, as long ago as 1912," said a London specialist, "and Prof. Buergi's application of it has been welcomed at several London hospitals where patients have been rejuvenated by a course of treatment." Its place in the navy as a rival to lime juice will depend upon the speed of its action in strengthening blood that has been weakened by a lack of green vegetables and fresh fruit. Conspicuous success, it is claimed, has already attended the royal air force experiments on troops in Irak suffering from scurvy, malaria and general disability—London Tit-Bits. Berlin Streets Dark In Berlin the streets are lighted with only 7,165 gas lamps and 681 electric lights, as compared with 44,303 and 1,373 respectively in 1914. Many estimates of unemployment are furnished, but the most conservative I received were from Doctor Brauns, minister of labor, who gave the numbers for December 1 in the unoccupied area as 1,447,000 totally unemployed and 1,825,000 on part time. For the occupied area he estimated the unemployed at 2,000,000, but would hazard no statement for the part-time workers beyond saying that their numbers were larger. Here and There London has 60 electric light and power companies competing for the business of the largest city in the world. Chicago, with less population than London, has massed production and one company in the former city generates and sells twice as much electricity as London's 60 companies. Chicago's per capita consumption is six times that of London, and the price of current in Chicago is only a trifle more than half of the cost of London's electricity. Stingy A Scotsman thought that the best method of saving money for Christmas was to put a penny in a money box every time he kissed his wife. This he did regularly until the holiday period came round. Then he opened the box and out came not only pennles but sixpence, shillings and halfcrowns. The man was amazed and asked his wife how she accounted for it. "Weel, Jock," she replied, "it's no lvery mon that's as stingy as you are!" Crowds "Well, what do you think of Kansas City?" asked Burt Blurt of Petunia. "Well, sir," answered Luther Lopstitch, who was just back from the big burg, "blamed if the crowds on the streets all the time I was there didn't make it look like court week!" Willing to Oblige Lady (driver of automobile to tramps by the wayside)—"Can you show us the way to Great Missingden, please?" Weary Willie—"Cert'nly, miss, cert'nly. We're a-goin' that way, 'Op up, Joe. Anything to oblige a lady'"—Punch.

OH, I'LL KEEP HIM IN THE BATH TUB & PLAY WITH HIM --- J. O. MIDNIGHT. (Continued from Page 1.) I was coming. I asked him to meet me at the station. Of course, you want to know that I spent just one night in New Orleans, and it was spent at the home of Dr. M. C. Gaines, and I was delighted for I met Mrs. Ida Dumas, the wife of H. C. Dumas, Ph. G., who owns that fine drug store in Natchez, and she is one of the finest women it has been my lot to meet. She is cultured, and possesses wonderful ability. She was visiting Mrs. Gaines, and if you will remember I told you that Mrs. Gaines 'is the sister to Dr. Dumas. I have told you all about it. Reaching Baton Rouge, I found that Dr. Clark had heard from me, and had his automobile car carriage right there to tote me out to his home and school, Southern University. Only a short stay there, and believe me honey they are doing some fine work right there in the school. I have talked and talked about it, until I am not going back to repeat myself. I am just shouting all over myself when I see our young peopel getting education. They see the train of education as it passes through the nation, and hear the command, "Get aboard ye lads and lasses of the train, before she passes." After exchanging a few words with Mrs. Edwonia Thomas, and Mrs. J. S. Clark, I was in that same John Henry, headed for Leland just about four miles away. He soon had me there, and Prof. J. B. Watson, the president of New Leland, received me just like he was receiving a brother. He shook my lily black hands once, and twice and thrice, and then had the young man to get my things out of the John Henry, and tote them in, assuring me that I had a room, a warm welcome, and that I should be at home. Over in the administration building I had the pleasure of meeting the secretary, Miss L. B. Hudson, of Selma, Ala., the daughter of Prof. R. B. Hudson. Miss Hudson is one of the fastest writing young women in the country, and a well trained secretary. She inherited some of this from her father, and mother, but then she had to do the rest herself. For our parents cannot hand us down education. It must be earned. They have a fine faculty, for I have told you about the president and secretary, and now here are the others, K. A. Huggins, science; E. M. Coleman, history-French; L. O. Harper, mathematics-athletics; Miss L. R. McKinney, Latin-Bible; W. L. James, English-music; Mrs. N. G. Pugh, grammar grades; Mrs. N. M. Foster, matron, and there is Prof. L. S. Powell, superintendent of farm and grounds, and a good man. I tell you he has been a factor in Leland ever since it moved from New Orleans, and is doing great things right now. They have a wonderful plant out here, although it is about 9 miles from Eaton Rouge, it is in a fine place for study, and will furnish inspiration to any human being to study, and make it in life. This is one of the schools of the American Baptist Home Missionary Society, and while this is the first year out in the country, I am here to tell you that it is growing. I want to congratulate the society on being able to get a strong man at the head, Prof. J. B. Watson, for he has both training and experience. He at one time was at Bishop college, then in the work of the Y. M. C. A., and accomplished much for his people. This institution is located out here where God has endowed it with beauty. They have 234 acres of Louisiana choice land, and then there are just new 75 enrolled, and it doth not yet appear what it will be by next year, for they are getting ready to pour in. Buildings are being erected, and they are modern, believe me honey, bath and all that will go with a bath, and then electric lights, telephone, and all conveniences of the city. With this, and away from the city with nothing to do but study, do you not wonder at such an opportunity for our young people. it, and just now, or as you read this letter, preachers will be here from all parts of the state attending the First Annual Bible Institute, which will have some Bible scholars connected with it, men who know the Bible and know well how to impart it. Men who have been preaching and who are from some of the leading schools in the country, will be here to lecture, I tell you it is worth while. These things will help preachers, and when they leave I am sure that they will have a few new sermons to deliver to their people. More Complicated Than the Early V I believe that, taking the English man or woman, find them more aware of diversity, more introspection more complicated, to be the corresponding picked out from a sample Victorians. I remember my mother (she was born in 1837 friends who came to he We are improving right along, and this is what it should be. Now in June the young people of the country, and some of the preachers and workers will be called to Cleveland, Ohio, in that National B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School Congress. This is direct from the National Baptist convention and will be productive of good. Dr. D. W. Cannon, is the president, and you know he is a worker. There will be many experts there. But I am not going to talk about it all this week, but will have to leave something for another letter. God bless you. Write me when you have the time. I am going to return to Florida. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Prophecies of Monk Four centuries ago a German monk from the Suabian province wrote these prophecies, says the Detroit News: "About the year 1870 Germany will be formed into an empire. This empire will last about half a century. Then there will be a great war, which will last four years, in which all the civilized nations of the world will take part. This war will be followed by a truce of several years. "At the end of the truce there will be a great battle on the field of Boueaux in the Ruhr between groups of eight nations. The battle will last for many days before the French, led by a white prince from Midi, finally triumph and assure a definite peace. In this terrible battle the German emperor and his son will be killed." Minnows and Malaria American top minnows have become the successors of the famous cackling geese which saved Rome. According to recent historians, malaria was largely responsible for the decline of Roman power and the depopulation of the city once rescued by the web-footed fowl. Fish from the United States are now being used to wipe out the malaria-carrying mosquitoes. In 1921, the United States bureau of fisheries shipped top minnows to Spain where they multiplied rapidly. Italy obtained stock from Spain and is now breeding these little fish in considerable numbers for use in malaria-infested districts of the Roman campagna. Clocks and Weather Arrangements for a co-operative investigation of clocks and watches have been completed by the bureau of standards. A manufacturer of lever clocks is to supply the bureau with several clocks of different construction. The clocks will be tested to determine the effects of the variations of construction on the rates at which the clocks run under different conditions of temperature. A similar investigation will be undertaken to determine the effect of the jewels on the performance of watches. Hung in the Middle "You say your wife is a great linguist?" "She is." "How many languages does she speak?" I believe that, taking the average English man or woman, we shall find them more aware of their own diversity, more introspective, and hence more complicated, than would be the corresponding specimens picked out from a sample of early Victorians. I remember my mother's stories (she was born in 1837) of the friends who came to her father's house in her youth, and many of these friends, with their stock tricks of speech and their stock reactions to religion, politics, and society, could have gone straight into a Dickens novel. And the characterization of them would have been adequate. I even remember similar specimens in my own boyhood. Now, among my contemporaries, I search for them in vain. The world of today, as I see it, is filled with people who are too aware of themselves to be peculiar by conviction. The great divergencies of what we call "types"—which means the abstraction of a preponderating characteristic—tend to converge by assimilation. For when we become more aware of ourselves, we inevitably become more aware of other people.—J. D. Beresford, in The Nation and The Athenaeum. Big Irrigation Canals on the Planet Mars? Mars is inhabited by a race of frail farmers, who live much longer than earth people, is the opinion of Flammarion, French astronomer, who believes that some day science will be able to establish communication between the earthlings and the Martians. Mars, being a much smaller world than the earth, has, like the moon, aged more rapidly, and may now be presenting that stage which the earth will reach in ages to come, when in consequence of gradual loss of moisture it will be a semi-desert world. In 1877 the Italian astronomer Schiaparelli discovered a network of lines crossing Mars, which seemed to change with the melting of the polar snows, deepening or lightening in color according to the time of year. A disputed theory is that these lines are canals built by the Martians for carrying the melted snow water from the poles to their dry lands near the equator, says Capper's Weekly. The changing color is believed to mark the growing vegetation, the result of intelligent beings utilizing to the utmost a fast-vanishing water supply. It is a guess. Nobody knows. Right He—Darling, I've lost my job on account of you, but I'd go through fire and water for you. She—You've been fired, now you want to go bathing with me, eh?
