KANSAS Vol. X MIDNIGHT EULOGIZES WOMEN OF RACE Attends National Convention of Club Women Birmingham, Alabama. August 14. —Every man should feel proud of this wonderful race of ours, and especially of our women. Have you ever stopped to think of the great women we have produced, and who are now serving, trying to work out the destiny of the human race. Have you thought about what they are doing? Do you ever think about the battles they must fight? If you would just stop and think a minute, you would truly say they are followers of Jesus Christ. I have had the pleasure of attending the meeting of the National Convention of Women or Club women. I don't know just what name they called it, but put it down that I told you it was the greatest convention ever held in the city of Chicago, and truly a display of real brain work. I saw in this meeting some of the greatest women in the world, and they are members of our race. These women do not take the back seat for any women living, and I thank God for them. I suppose many people thought I was a real crazy man, for I just walked the streets shouting "Glory to God" all the time I was in Chicago, and I do not offer any apology for my action. I was simply happy—that's all. The meeting was presided over by Miss Hallie Quinn Brown, of Wilberforce, Ohio, and you know she was just a great woman. You have known her for years. I knew of her and her greatness just when I was knee-high to a grasshopper, and I am old enough to vote now. She is one of our best trained women, and a woman who has served her people in every particular. She has shown her love and friendship for her race, by her contribution to the educational work...Just one trip to Europe, and just one speech among the wealth of the Old World and she brought back $15,000 to Wilberforce University. She has been active in many things for her people ever since, and she is right now. Miss Brown, taught in Wilberforce, and she is a fine reader, one of the best in America. Her work, her training has won for her fame. We all know her, and what she is worth to the nation. We thank God for the life of this great woman. She retired from the presidency, and was succeeded by an educational genius, Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, of Daytona, Florida. Mrs. Bethune is one of the women of our race who is doing things in an educational way. She is a worker, a speaker, a wonderful character. She has dedicated her life to the uplift of the boys and girls of the race. She is furnishing them inspiration. She is putting pep into life. She is truly a leader, and well trained leader at that. You know of her work, and I want to keep you posted from time to time on the good work being done by this noble character. I wish you could have been there, for I cannot start to mention all the great women who were there. They were orators, parliamentarians, educators—all and all they were great. I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. J. C. Napier, Miss Nannie H. Burrughs, Mrs. Mamie E. Stewart, of Louisville, Ky., Mrs. Emma J. Colyer, of Florida, Dr. Mary Warring, of Chicago, Mrs. Rebecca Walton, of South Carolina, Mrs. Wilkinson, wife of the President of the Florida school —noted women from Florida, noted women from Texas; noted women from Kansas, California, Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia and I believe every other state in this Union had representatives. Not this not merely a big convention of women with no purpose, for they are just doing things. They are women who stand for something. We do not know just what we are doing in this country. I am proud to tell you that things are just happening. I heard some wonderful reports. There was another woman of this race of ours. Mrs. Myrtle Foster-Cook, of Kansas City, one of the best writers in this race of ours. She was as busy as could be and I am sure you will realize it when I tell you she is the woman who is keeping them posted on what is going on. They had reports from the various departments, and from every state. Reports -SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS. $1.50 touching every phase of life, and then they spoke right out in church so to speak. I wish you could have heard that wonderful response made by Miss Elizabeth Carter of New Bedford, Mass. Honey she just skunt the cat with Mayor Dever, who was booked to deliver an address of welcome, and did not show up. She said that he was just in his alphabet in politics, and to ignore a body like that met to retard his progress. The proper use of the ballot now in the hands of women would bring greater recognition to the race. "The women are not coming," she said, "because we are here." Mrs. Mary McLoed Bethune is president, and Mrs. Sallie Stewart of Indiana is vice-president, and then I would mention some of the other women, I met Mrs. C. R. McDawell, of Missouri, treasurer; Mrs. Janie Porter Barrett, of Virginia, recording secretary; Mrs. Pearl Lowry Wintes, California, Chairman Ways and Means Committee; Mrs. Napier is custodian of funds, and all the various departments had their heads and I met them too, at least some of them. Mrs. Minnie L. Patterson, Illinois Arts and Crafts; Mrs. Mary V. Parrish, of Kentucky, anti-narcotics; Mrs. Cora Calhoun Horne, New York big sister; Mrs. Frances Bolling, Pennsylvania, business welfare; Mrs. Bessie C. Jones, Indiana, citizenship; Mrs. Lillian Brown-Jones of Indiana, credentials; Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford, Washington, D. C., education; Mrs. Fannie R. Graves, Kentucky, fine arts; Dr. Mary F. Waring, Illinois, health and hygiene; Mrs. T. L. Anderson, Kentucky, home economics; Mrs. Augusta D. Zuber, Mississippi, industrial legislation; Mrs. Sadie Black Hamilton, Pennsylvania, juvenile welfare; Mrs. Mazie M. Griffin, Pennsylvania, legislation; Mrs. John Hope, Georgia, neighborhood welfare; Mrs. M. E. Stewart, Kentucky, printing; Miss Mary G. Evans, Indiana, religious welfare; Miss S. Ella Wilson, Massachusetts, scolarship loan; Mrs. Ora B Stokes, Virginia,_social service._So many others I will not have time to mention. Texas stirred a hornets nest when a representative complained of not being represented on the program. Many others put in a complaint. Texas was too large to be overlooked. I could just name and name and work and work. They elected new officers. I had a fine time. I spent over a week in Chicago, and then I shook the dust off of my little feet and started for this place, leaving there over the C. & S. I. and L. & N., reaching here last Saturday, and now I am writing to you. I am on the eve of going to Dothan, Alabama, to be there with the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias and the Grand Court of Calanthe. I have told you about the Grand Court from time to time, headed by that wonderful character of our race, Mrs. Carrie T. Tugle of this city, a woman who believes in doing things for her people, and honey, she is doing them. She is putting education within the grasp of many boys and girls who would otherwise be neglected and grow up like weeds. Her real worth to this people may never be known only by our Father who keeps a record of all deeds. She is a wonderful woman. Speaking of that, I have often had something to say about Miss Enola E. Parche, of New Orleans, who has just finished her summer school work and in examination made America Literature, 89; advanced English, 90; Negro History, 90, and still she is going on. Some day she will take her place among the women of the age. The people are getting ready for the National Baptist convention to be held in Nashville, September 10. I hope you will be there, for I am going to be there myself. God bless you. I will bring this letter to a stop. J. O. MIDNIGHT. The Poor Suitor "Father says he takes no stock in you." "And that's rough considering the worthless concerns he has taken stock in."—Louisville Courier-Journal. Her Bossy Aunt My little cousin, Grace, was visiting us for a few days. When her mother came to take her home she took her on her lap and asked: Kansas City, Kansas, A A REAL VOTE OF THANKS CITY Kansas City, Kansas, August 15, 1924 "As ye sow, so shall ye reap." Sum and substance—hard cash. Make a little worry go a long way. Next to happiness is indifference. The wise man gets a lot of free instruction from tools. There is probably nothing more unlike a battle than the picture of one. There is always a tender connection between the locomotive and the train. When a man is all wrapped up in himself he makes a pretty small parcel. When a man is riding a hobby it is always a good plan to give him the road. If you speak evil of a man in his absence it's cowardly, and if in his presence it's dangerous. Backbone is as highly paid for as wisdom. Sometimes, the two are found in combination. One who is determined to speak his mind gets along better by doing it in a loud, jolly way. THIS WILL GET HIM THIS WILL GET HIM YOO HOO COM'ON OUT OW COM'ON OUT AND PLAY WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK (Copyright, W. N. U.) It is with a deep feeling of thanks and appreciation, that I think of the kind consideration given me, by the many, many friends who voted for me for Probate Judge. I received seven hundred votes, and only two others, of the many others in the race, received more. The fact is I received a great many more votes which could not be counted for me, because marked in the wrong place, a number of persons voted for me for judge of the district court, and others voted for me, for both long and short terms of the probate court; none of these could be counted for me. I am inclined to think that the kind friends who thought so well of me, as is shown by their out pouring of votes, can never know the depth of feeling and appreciation I have for them. Let's keep it up.—I am "William." Yours, for happy co-operation, I. F. BRADLEY. TRUTH IN TRIFLES Even an old joke, repeated, is better than an old growl. "Eating one's heart out" is a case of ingrowing introspection. Usually the black sheep of the family is thoroughly posted. An actor is naturally spiritless when the ghost falls to walk. The forger evidently believes that imitation is the sincerest flattery. If we could see ourselves as others see us, we could act according to our looks and make a hit by it. ADVOCATE Miss Marie Johnson won the diamond ring in the contest of raising funds for the new colored Catholic church. We are glad to see Miss Mae McLelland, one of our mannerly teachers returned from the Colorado state University summer school. Miss Mabel Jackson, another teacher, has returned also. Mrs. Octavia Carroll, of St. Louis, is here visiting her father and relatives for about three weeks. Mrs. Pash, a practicing nurse, joined Metropolitan church, Sunday night. Mrs. Lola Dillard has married again and is building a new bungalow at 1017 Nebraska avenue. Mr. Peters, who owns oil land in Oklahoma, is calling on Mrs. Finney and entertained her and Mesdames Richardson, B. Grigsby and M. C. Matthews with walnut brick ice cream and other dainties, Monday. Officer Wesley Robinson is doing good service on his new beat. The Robinson-Stewart family reunion will be held Sunday, August 24, at Mr. L. Stewart's in Liberty, Mo. Mrs. L. Green, Mrs. Soanes and other Chapter ladies, and Masonic brothers, attended Prince Hall G. Chapter at Atchison, this week. Mt. Zion Baptist church will have their anniversary next Wednesday, August 20, at their church. Our Society editor has been asked to be on the program. We congratulate Mrs. L. Bells on her re-election as committee-woman for the twenty-first precinct, third ward. The funeral services of Mr. Trent were held Friday, August 8, at his residence. Rev. Riggins, Rev. Bowersers and Rev. Morrow officiated. The Masonic lodge turned out and many friends attended and gave floral designs. Deceased left a devoted wife, Mrs. Nora Trent, a brother and other relatives and many friends, who extend sympathy. Seeing Things S WILL T HIM THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER METROPOLITAN S. S. PICNIC About one hundred persons attended the Metropolitan Sunday School outing at Swope Park, Tuesday. About 10 a. m. the children carrying balloons, marched from the church to Tenth and Minnesota avenue, where a special car awaited them. Mr. E. Pickens had printed a banner for the car, which was given much praise. He specially invited and urged the publicity committee to go and she made as much noise as the happy children. All enjoyed seeing the animals in the zoo, and of course enjoyed the pleasures of Swope park, which has 1,300 acres, and is the second largest park in the United States. The publicity committee who has visited New York, says it is next to Central Park, there. After games and dinner, ice cream was served in abundance. The First Baptist Sunday school picnicked at Swope Park, Thursday. Mrs. Viola Calhoun, who has been very sick, is reported better. Mrs. H. D. Kemp and other ladies, will visit the Missouri Baptist Association in Kansas City, Mo., this week. Mr. Thomas Kennedy is visiting in Ohio. The N. E. Junior High Choir gave a recital at Metropolitan Tuesday night. Quite a large audience enjoyed hearing these young girls sing. They were accompanied on the piano by their teacher, Mr. Brown. They received much applause and were encored on their last choruses. Mr. Brown, brother of Prof Brown, is a fine violinist, and was encored on his violin solo. The Baptist Women's City Mission will meet the 4th Friday, August 22, at Mt. Zion Baptist church. All Missions are asked to be represented. They say "Precinct 21, 3rd ward was the banner precinct in giving most votes to worthy persons." Mrs. M. C. Matthews was the oldest judge and Mrs. Jennie Smith, oldest clerk. Others were: Mesdames McMillan, B. Moppins, Miss Paey and Mr. Redwine. Means Peace and Plenty The name Saturnian days was given to a mythical period in the early history of Italy, when the god Saturn shared the throne with Janus, the reigning king, and by his mild, pacific and beneficent rule raised the people to a relatively high degree of civilization. Agriculture and the useful arts flourished throughout the land; innocence, freedom, peace and happiness reigned, and sorrows were forgotten. The ancient Romans celebrated the Saturnalia in December of each year in honor of Saturn. The phrase "Saturnian days" is used at present to denote any period of peace and plenty.—Kansas City Star. --- Number 52 MEN AND MEASURES Great Commencement at Western University Mr. Editor: Permit me to say through the columns of your great paper, the old historic Fifth is still on the map, following the general conference in Louisville, Kentucky, we returned to our homes to be called upon by our efficient President of Western University, Dr. F. Jessie Peck, D.D., to be present at the closing of our school. This commencement was acknowledged to be the equal if not the best in the history of the school. Bishop A. J. Carey the successor of that prince of preachers, Rt. Rev. H. B. Parks, was present, and all eyes were fixed upon him, for this was his first official visit to this new diocese and as he had been much talked about and read of, we were wondering what manner of man he could be. But it was not long after he called his presiding elders in council before he convinced all concerned that he was the right man in the right place. Every minister and layman was made to feel that he was a part of this great church. We were facing some very knotty problems in the work of the school and it was a question how we were going to solve them. But when we heard that Bishop Carey was going to be present with the pastor and members of St. John A. M. E. church on Sunday and Monday nights before the trustee meeting of Western University, and the P. E. Conclave, we said here is the opportunity to get Bishop Carey before the powers of the state government, which we did, and when he left the state house he was assured by them that there would be perfect harmony between the church and state. Therefore we are rejoicing that the door of opportunity swings wider today than ever in the years gone by. Bishop Carey said to the presiding elders, pastors and the people: I am here to help you and to be a blessing to you, your churches, the school, the race and all mankind. Call me when you need me and look upon me as your big brother. He has raised between seven and eight thousand dollars for education since coming among us, The good bishop is the beloved of us all. There is no strife nor bickering among us. We are all one for the success of the A. M. E. church in this section of the west, and the connection. Bishop Cared is a great preacher and forceful debater. His lectures and sermons are inspiring as well as informing. He followed a great man and has proven himself to be the equal of his friend and brother, and we are with him in everything that he undertakes for the good of the church and the race. Long may he live to bless the cause for which the church has elevated him. He has visited and preached in St. Louis, Mo., Desoto, Mo., Kansas City, Mo., Omaha, Neb., Wichita, Kansas, Parsons, Kansas, Kansas City, Kansas, Topeka, Kansas, and every where he has gone the people are inspired and are asking that he shall come again. the Douglas Hospital and our beloved Western University has taken on new life. A new loan of $25,000 has been secured, which means the finishing of Park Hall, that was destroyed by fire last April. J. R. RANSOM METROPOLITAN MUSIC SCHOOL The Music School gave its last free program August 10. It was one of the best. Some who participated were Miss Elizabeth Simpson, Mrs. Nellie Harris, O. H. Pennington, Ida Mae Hillman, Lottie Evans, Mr. Carl Brown, Aurelia Foster, Mildred Finney and Anna Armstrong. Mr. K. K. Pinkston and wife, of Topeka, Kansas, visited his son R. W. Pinkston, at 1959 North Third street, and returned home after a few days of renewing old acquaintances, and meeting old friends, and appearing before various colored clubs in the interest of Senator Capper's candidacy. Wanted two men roomers. Have two nicely furnished rooms at reasonable rent. --- THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE MRS. M. C. MATTHEWS, Society Editor. MRS. F. L. PRINCE Circulating Manager.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. EAST INDIAN "TRICKS" EXPOSED BY CAMERA The Indian "rope trick" is done by mass hypnotism, the same as the "basket-trick," where a native places a live baby in a basket, covers it up tight, then thrusts a sword through the basket in several places enough to kill the baby over and over. These tricks have been exposed by the camera, says George C. Boyd in Adventure Magazine. The reason the reward was not claimed was because the natives were afraid of some trick to expose them, in which case the rope and basket tricks would become worthless as money-getters. These are very old tricks. A man I used to know saw the rope trick on two or three occasions while traveling in India. He could not account for it. The trick he saw was this: After the boy had gone up the rope the man shook it and became angry. Then he took out a long knife, climbed the rope, holding the knife in his mouth. Directly the army, legs, head and trunk of the boy came down in pieces, the man followed, stuck the pieces together, pulled down the rope, took up a collection and departed. These tricks show nothing but the man and the rope when photographed, so it is done by suggestion and hypnotism. Commands Clashed Little Billy was visiting his grandmother and she was doing her best to give the small boy a good time. The morning after his arrival she called one of the neighbor's children over to play with him. "There, now," remarked grandma, in her kindlest tone. "You two can have a good time together." But the two boys merely stared at each other across the room and grandma could not quite understand it. "Come, now, children," she said, "Go on out into the garden, Billy, and strike an acquaintance." "But, grandma," complained the little boy, "mother told me just before I came away not to fight." Lucky Fisherman Got This Taken from the waters of Lake Minnewanka, at Banff, a trout that weighed 37 pounds is now being mounted by local taxidermists and will be placed in the Banff museum. It is 42 inches long and 24 inches in circumference. Many good trout have been caught in the lake this year, but none so large as this. These lake trout in the Minnewanka waters are one of the mysteries of the Rockies. It is said to be the only lake in the mountains harboring this variety of fish.

Sunday had been set aside as Rally Day a neat sum was paid in and all who did not pay Sunday will be given another chance Sunday, August 17th. The Sunday School was largely attended at 9:30 a. m.

MOSELEY, Pastor The members and friends of Mt. Olive Baptist church met early and commenced a glorious religious service. The Sunday School was well attended and had a good lesson. The prayer meeting was very spiritual and showed signs of a good service. The pastor's text: Gal. 5:1: "Stand fast in the liberty in which Christ has made you free." Subject: "Christian Steadfastness." He made it plain where no harm, custom sins cause many Christians to believe, and to became unstable and fall short of the many graces and favors God holds in store for them. He made great stress in the integrity of Daniel, Shedrock and Abednego, who proved to the Babylonians that "Our God is the only true God to Serve," and that we of today should have the same stable integrity for Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit visited the meeting and many felt glad that they had come to the house of God. The B. Y. P. U. had a good service at 5 p. m. The Pastor's Aid Club meets every Sunday immediately after service. Help them. Brother J. Lincoln, of Kansas City, Mo., known to many of our members, is sick. Pray for him. Sister N. Smith, of 337 Garfield, Kansas City, Kansas is sick and many others, whom we should continually pray for. The night services were good and spiritual. There were three additions to the church. Pastor's subject: "Do not play with fire." He preached a good sermon. Come to our services and you will enjoy blessings of the Holy Spirit. Read The Advocate.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES A large number were at Metropolitan Baptist Church, Sunday August 10th. Pastor Bronson preached on "My House shall be called a house of prayer." His sermon was intended to show members that it is necessary to five one-tenth of all a person makes to the church. At the close some joined the church. The people greatly enjoyed the song service led by Mr. Fitchue. Some visitors were: Mrs. Lena Atkinson, Grace Stapleton and Miss Jones of Texas. At 6:30 p. m. Mr. Fred Fitchue sang, "Oh, Dry Those Tears." At the B. Y. P. U. and was encored. At 8 p. m. the Senior choir led the congregation in singing "Come Ye That Love the Lord," and "I Must Tell Jesus," and "God Will Take Care of You," while Mr. A. Lewis accompanied with his cornet and the organist with the pipe organ. Pastor Bronson preached again, although it threatened rain, the Lord's Supper was administered and one of the most beautiful songs of the day, was "He Promised Never to Leave Me Alone." Again some joined the church. Next Sunday, August 17. We expect good sermons and a spiritual service. All are invited to Metropolitan church to hear Dr. Bronson, who can preach fine, when not sick or overburdened. We are glad to hear that Mrs. Hattie Miller is improving. TRINITY A. M. E. CHURCH Sunday school was held at the usual hour with a large number of pupils, teachers and visitors in attendance. The review of the lesson by the superintendent was very interesting. Our assistant pastor, Rev. Robinson, brought us the message at 11 a. m. He preached an excellent sermon to a large audience. Those who heard this spiritual sermon were given much food for thought. At 3 p. m. Rev. Morrow of the M. E church, Eight and Oakland, brought us the sacramental message. This being quarterly meeting day a large number of visitors were present. The visiting ministers assisted with the services. Trinity is anxiously looking forward to the close of its "Summer Drive" next Sunday.

The state of Kansas acknowledges its indebtedness to and promises to pay to each person, who was a resident of the state of Kansas at the time of entering the service, who served during the war with Spain or the Philippine insurrection, or the China relief expedition in any branch of the army, navy or marine corps of the United States prior to July 4, 1902, and who was honorably discharged therefrom, the sum of one dollar ($1) per day of his or her service during such period, which compensation shall be in addition to all pay and allowances made by the United States government; Provided, however, That no person shall receive more than six hundred dollars ($600) as his entire compensation under this act. "Sec. 2. No person shall receive any pay under this act for any service performed prior to the declaration of war with Spain by the United States government, or subsequent to July 4, 1902; and no person shall be entitled to receive compensation under the provisions of this act who did not declare the state of Kansas to be his or her place of residence at the time of his or her entering the service. "Sec. 8. The governor, secretary of state and state auditor are hereby authorized and directed to issue bonds of the state of Kansas in a sum not exceeding one million dollars ($1,000,000), to provide funds for the purpose set out in section 1 hereof and to pay the expenses of the administration of this act: Provided, That such bonds may be issued in installments from time to time in such amounts and upon such terms as may be necessary to meet the payments of compensation as the same are allowed. Such bonds shall bear interest not to exceed five per cent (5%), and such bonds or the portion thereof at any time issued shall be made payable at the treasury of the state of Kansas, or in the city of New York, such bonds shall be made payable in twenty-five (25) --- Fairfax 1146 equal installments, the first of which shall be payable one (1) year after date of issue and the last of which shall be payable twenty-six (26) years after the date of issue, and they shall be sold to the highest bidder for not less than par; Provided, however, That the governor, secretary of state and state auditor are hereby authorized for the purpose of this act only, to designate a sub-fiscal agency in the city of New York, to the extent that same may be necessary to provide for the prompt payment of all bonds and coupons issued under this act, payable by their terms at a sub-fiscal agency in the city of New York. "Sec. 4.

Sec. 5. There is hereby created a board consisting of the governor, secretary of state and the state auditor and the adjutant general of the state, which board is hereby charged with the administration of this law; and it shall, within thirty (30) days after the taking effect of this act, make, establish and publish rules and regulations providing for the proof of claims made under this act, and for the method of payment of the same, and they are hereby authorized, in the general administration of this law, to establish other rules and regulations; Provided, That upon any questions upon which said board may be equally divided, then such questions shall be determined by the governor, the secretary of state and state auditor, without the vote of the adjutant general.

Call Fair fax 0380 Or 4422 THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE GREAT DESERT MAY IN LIGHTER V YET BE IRRIGATED Ground for Belief There Is Water Beneath Sahara. Is there water under the Sahara? A Paris correspondent states that there is animal life 200 and 300 feet beneath the burning sands of the Sahara desert. That is the extraordinary discovery made by the experiments of sinking artesian wells at various points in the North African wastes with a view to possible irrigation. Waters drawn from great depths were found to contain small crabs, fish and shell-fish, all alive. The discovery is proving an absolute puzzle, no theory so far seeming entirely satisfactory. It has been possible usually to explain the presence of fish and shell-fish in underground waters by the fact that they were locked up during some primeval cataclysm. These animals adapt themselves gradually to new conditions, but, living in darkness, are always blind entirely or nessess special optical apparatus suitable to darkness. Those found underneath the Sahara belong to a species inhabiting the lakes of Palestine. Shafts sunk during the past few years in the Sahara prove there are large sheets of water everywhere. Animals found now prompt the belief that there is a vast underground sea, densely inhabited. Sure Sailor's Spirit Does the spirit of a sailor who dies at sea return to his ship in the form of a bird? Seafaring men of deep-water belief think so, and they point to the case of Cornellus Van Ree, assistant ship's baker of the intercoastal liner Manchuria, which arrived in Los Angeles recently from New York. Van Ree became violently ill one morning while the Manchuria was steaming northward off the coast of Central America. He died. That afternoon, just as the sun went down, the sailors slipped Van Ree's body over the ship's side to the locker of Davy Jones. That very night, the crew reported, a flapping of wings on the after deck drew attention to a strange spectacle, a bird which even naturalists aboard could not classify. Its feathers were green and purple, and its legs were yellow. A body, eight inches across, was supported by pelicanlike legs a foot long. A bill, something like a sea gull's, was striped red, white and blue. It was a land bird, sailors said. Aye, more than that, it was Ree's spirit returning to his shipmates. So they called it the "baker bird." PUBLICATION NOTICE. In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas. Will Estall, Plaintiff The State of Kansas, to the defendant above named.

They go back to our earliest memories: "Things equal to the same thing are equal to each other." "The whole is greater than any of its parts." Ten out of ten men believe these, 100 per cent all of the time, comments Good Hardware in an editorial. Ten out of ten men also believed that a yardstick placed east and west was the same length as the same yardstick placed north and south. But two or three men in a billion doubted that a few years ago. One of them was Elmstein. Even the physicists laughed at him for doubting their absolutely established "facts." Now every reputable physicist agrees largely with Einstein's results and the relativity theory. The men who have doubted and tested axioms are few, with many between—Newton, Darwin and others among the scientists. Even Aristotle said that the accepted views of others may be our greatest obstacles to progress. Two morals: Keep a place in your brain for one more idea at least.

One returned traveler has offered the theory that the sound is caused by the sand pouring over a low scarp of rock after a rain storm. Various other explanations have been put forth.

AND I OUGHT TO HAVE A COUPLE OF DRESSES FOR UP HERE IN THE COUNTRY "Bill" Seemed to Know "Why in the name o' heck will a driver do that?" roared a motorman on a north-bound country club car near the city hall. He glared at a laundry wagon parked about two feet inside the east rail. "Oh, Bill!" he shouted to the gray horse attached to the wagon. Bill answered to the name, turned his head and looked at the motorman. "Can't you move up just a step or two and clear the truck?" he asked in ordinary tone of conversation. The horse obeyed. Still the way was not cleared. "Ease up just a step or two more, Bill," requested the motorman, "and we'll be all right." Bill craned his neck and squinted back along the rail. Apparently he realized just how much of a "squeeze play" was necessary to permit the street car to pass. He moved just enough. "Got a dern sight more sense than the dumbbell who drives you," announced the motorman as he proceeded.—Kansas City Star. Doctor Brougher was speaking on the Christian spirit. "In many ways," he argued, "it has improved. On the whole, the human race is living more as I believe Christ would have us. Our hospitals and other charitable institutions attest to an ever-increasing thought for the unfortunate. "Yet there is another class, in the minority, I trust, which has become what the boys call 'hard-bolled,' like Mr. Jones. "I bought a car the other day,' Jones proudly told a friend. "Ah,' exclaimed the other, 'you couldn't resist the lure of Bear valley and Santa Barbara and all the other great attractions of southern California.' "That's not why I bought a car,' denied Jones. 'You can always go to those places on a stage. The real reason I bought it was to have the pleasure of not inviting the Smiths to ride with me when I see them.'"—Los Angeles Times.
