KANSAS Vol. XI "GOOL CAL" AND DARING DAWES SWEEP THE COUNTRY It was a hot time in Old Kansas November 4th WYANDOTTE COUNTY REPUBLI-CANS SHAVE CLOSE TO THE 100 PER CENT MARK Coolidge Carries State by More than 200,000—Ben S. Paulen for Governor Over 100,000 and the Entire Republican Ticket Taken Along There is probably no better way to express it, than to say, "It Was a Hot Time in Old Kansas," Tuesday for the Republican ticket, from Coolidge and Dawes down to the bottom rung of the party ladder. President Coolidge carried the State by more than 200,000, and Ben S. Paulen for governor by over 100,000, with Senator Capper with 150,000. Six congressmen out of eight are sure and the seventh is in doubt, as we go to press. It was a hard fight—easy victory, when the ballots came out of their domicile of a day of incarceration. William Allen White, the Independent candidate ran on low third all through the State and the present incumbent, Jonathan M. Davis, democrat never moved above the second step of the State Capitol. Colored Vote Sticks to Friends The colored vote here like elsewhere stayed by their friends, the Republican party, and carried a number of candidates in the county and state to victory. The three state representatives and state senator were elected in Wyandotte county, something that has not been done for many years. Judge U. S. Guyer for a short term to congress was elected by a tremendous vote, but Russel Dyer, republican for long term is probably beaten by Chauncey Little, democrat. County Vote from 129 Precincts Complete election returns from 129 precincts in Kansas City and Wyandotte county out of a total of 163 precincts show the following results: PRESIDENT— Coolidge (R) ..... 18,929 Davis (D) ..... 7,233 LaFollette (Ind) ..... 5,421 U.

The Doctors had a good program October 29 and Douglass Hospital and Davis Maternity Hospital had one Sunday, November 2. It was very interesting. Three maternity nurses gave a calisthenic drill by the phonograph. Dr. Davis talked fine. Mrs. Turner, president of Douglas and Mrs. B. Lee gave good numbers and O. Meeks played a violin solo. Mrs. Skinner, who has had an extensive visit in Los Angeles, has returned here to remain. Miss May McLelland, secretary of Forum, was too indisposed to attend Sundy. The Sewing Circle of Metropolitan gave a fine Halowe'en surprise Friday night on Rev. Bronson and Rev. and Mrs. Riggings. They were satisfied to have a well known poetess furnish the whole program. Mrs. N. Poenix-Herndon, a fine musician, has returned from a 2-weeks visit, and has taken her place as pianist in the famous Metropolitan Religious School. Mrs. Butler and Mrs. Mabel Booker have enrolled to teach Religious School. Miss H. Gayden is a teacher and Sec-librarian of the Metropolitan Religious School. Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Dow have removed to 12 and Nebraska, which they have purchased. Miss Mattie Lawrence, who is teaching in Missouri, was in the city on Friday. SAY IT LOUD. When your day has been a hard one, Though you've worked with fullest zest; When all seems to be against you, Though you've done your level best, Remember there's a silver lining Behind the darkest cloud; With new determination say, "I WILL" AND SAY IT LOUD.

It's the everlasting climbing that gets you to the top, And the everlasting sticking to the task you'd like to drop; It's the grit and vim and muscle In the rough and tumble tussle That will bring you home to victory and the distant goal you seek; It's the ever up and working, Never lying down and shirking That eventually will land you on the mountain's sunny peak. It's the patient perseverance to the plan which you have made That will bring you through the dangers and the pitfalls which are laid; It's the steady, constant driving To the goal for which you're striving, Not the speed with which you travel, that will make your victory sure. It's the everlasting gaining, Without whimpering or complaining At the burdens you are bearing or the woes you must endure. It's the holding to a purpose, and the never giving in, It's in cutting down the distance by the little that you win; It's the sure and firm endeavor, Not the brilliant stroke and clever, That shall bring you home to gladness and to days of joy and song, It's the iron will to do it, and the seatdy sticking to it, So whatte'er you task, go to it! Keep your grit and plug along. —Edgar A. Guest. HOUSEHOLD GOODS FOR SALE I am breaking up house keeping and have for sale all of my furniture and household goods. Have four rooms complete.

Nelson Trails Republican Candidate for Governor by Approximately 25,000 Votes Approximately 25,000 Votes With more than half of the state returns tabulated, including St. Louis and Kansas City, Mo., precincts virtually complete, the republican state and national tickets appear today to have claimed Missouri by majorities upward of 25,000. Coolidge apparently had a margin over Davis at 10:30 a.m. (Wednesday) approaching 50,000. Dr. Arthur W. Nelson, democratic candidate for governor of Missouri, cut away part of the republican majority in the state, and was trailing Sam Baker, republican, by approximately 25,000. MISS VIRGINIA DURLEY COMES TO Y. W. C. A. AS SECRETARY The Young Women's Christian Association, 325 Washington Boulevard, has as its new secretary Miss Virginia Durley, formerly of Kentucky, her parents now living in Detroit, Michigan. Miss Durley has been teaching in her home state for some years and left the school room to take up Y. W. C. A. work, feeling she could serve her race and sex in a larger way. She is young, with an impressive expression. Her experience in the school room with young people gives one of her temperament a greater knowledge of what it takes to successfully manage an organization of this kind. The board of directors are fortunate and each one feels so in securing Miss Durley as the secretary of Yates Branch Y. W. C. A., of Kansas City, Kansas. I will start anew this morning with a higher, fairer creed; I will cease to stand complaining of my ruthless neighbor's greed; I will cease to sit repining while my duty's call is clear; I will waste no moment whining, and my heart shall know no fear. I will look sometimes about me for the things that merit praise; I will search for hidden beauties that elude the grumbler's gaze; I will try to find contentment in the paths that I must read; I will cease to have resentment when another moves ahead. I will not be swayed by envy when my rival's strength is shown; I will not deny his merit, but I'll strive to prove my own; I will try to see the beauty spread before me, rain or shine: I will cease to preach your duty, and be more concerned with mine. —British Weekly. When a bit of kindness hits ye, After passing of a cloud, When a bit of laughter gits ye, An' your spine is feeling proud, Don't forget to up and fling it At a soul that's feeling blue, For the moment that you sling it It's a boomerang to you. —Capt.

SENATOR ARTHUR CAPPER re-elected Tuesday by 200,000. THE MAN WHO QUITS. The man who quits has a brain and hand As good as the next; but he lacks the sand That would make him stick, with a courage stout, To whatever he tackles and fight it out. He starts with a rush, and a solemn vow That he'll soon be showing the others how; Then something new strikes his roving eye, And his task is left for the bye and bye. It's up to each man what becomes of him; He must find in himself the grit and vim That brings success; he can get the skill, If he brings to the task a steadfast will. No man is beaten till he gives in; Hard luck can't stand for a cheerful grin; The man who fails needs a better excuse Than the quitter's whining "What's the use?" For the man who quits lets his chances Just because he's too lazy to keep his grip. The man who sticks goes ahead with a shout, While the man who quits joins the "down and out." —Charles R. Barrett in the University News. If any little song of mine Can make a heart the lighter, God help me speak the little word And take my bit of singing And drop it in some lonely vale To set the echoes ringing. Númer 12 J. O. TAKES TIME TO GO HOME TO VOTE J. O. TAKES TIME TO GO HOME TO VOTE He Visited Kansas Last Week Chicago, Ill., Nov. 6.—When I write this letter this week, we are on the eve of going into election, and when you read it will all be over and the people who voted for Coolidge and Dawes will be shouting and I will join them in the shout, because I have advocated their election, and if they are not elected then I am going to beg your pardon. I am safe and they are safe, and you are safe. Since I wrote you that other letter, I have been going some and you may put this down that I told you so, and you will agree with me on this point, for when I wrote the letter you read I was in Wichita, Kansas, coming in from Oklahoma, and then I made it across the country to Topeka, Kansas, and this was really a fine place to be and spend a few hours, for I spent only a few hours in town, but believe me I have been doing some getting away since that time and you will believe that I have been doing it. I reached the city early Monday morning, and was soon in touch with the Rev. Dr. J. R. Ransom, who told me to come right out to his home. I was to be the guest of Dr. W. H. Young, pastor of the Calvary Baptist church, and then to speak for his people at night. But I went over to exchange a few lines with Dr. Ransom, and I am sure that you know that he is one of the greatest men in this country. He is pastor of the leading African Methodist Episcopal church in the city. I talked with him, had breakfast with his family, and of course he sent a few down also. Next we went up to the Republican headquarters, and believe me honey, Dr. Ransom is a man of some standing there. It was a pleasure to see how judges, lawyers, members of Congress and other big men consulted Dr. Ransom, and he knocked me down to them and they insulted me also about the collection, that is now over. I told them that I was sure that Coolidge and Dawes would be collected, and they would look after the business of the government for the next four years. They agreed with me. I was soon in touch with the speaker of the house, Clyde W. Miller, for he was not only speaker himself, but had much to say about the other speakers. He invited me to talk just a little bit, and I just thought I would like to hear myself talk and accepted. Now, about this speaking business, at night I spoke for Rev. W. H. Young and his people and had a real fine crowd. I got through then went on my way rejoicing. I talked to them about the Needs of Civilization—Man, and they listened to all I had to say. Rev. Young is an interesting pastor. I could not get close enough to President Bridgeforth to hand him a red apple, and why should I do this? He is some educated pumpkin, and here I am just squash and not much of that. But I was around and about. I could not get this distinguished educator to even answer the hello box, cated to even answer the hello box, but I will have my say about it later. After talking to the people there at night, and shaking hands with that wonderful singer, Mrs. Josephine Wright, and sleeping at night at the home of Dr. W. H. Young, I left next morning for Kansas City. Kansas City was reached, and while Rev. Edward Wittenburg was not at home, nor did they know just where he had gone, yet his son was there to meet and greet me and tote me in his automobile car carriage to the house where breakfast was ready, and into my eternity it had to go, until I wanted no more. I did not remain in town all day. The Rev. S. W. Bacote came and toted me over to Kansas, where I spent an hour, and next found me headed for Atchison, where I was to make one more speech for Coolidge and Dawes, and you put it down that I stepped on the gas and stepped on it in good shape. They had both people there, and honey put it down that I told them the told. It was a straight out and out political meeting, and I was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Covington. Mr. Covington is the leading tonsorial artist in the town and his wife—well I use to know her when she was a little school girl in Frankfort, Ky. She was then little Emma Trueheart. We went to the same school and had the same good --- PAGE TWO THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Proprietor. THOS. KNAPPER Associate Editor MRS. M. C. MATTHEWS, Society Editor. MRS.

The Sabbath school had its usual large attendance and a fine lesson was read and discussed by the teachers. The Allen League rendered a fine program after the lesson. Love feast was held Friday night and a spiritual meeting followed. The parsonage has been placed with several gas stoves, which will save fuel, besides a greater comfort to its occupants. The pastor was busy Sunday afternoon and Monday seeing the sick and giving communion to those at the hospital and those not able to be out. You are invited to class tonight and to the services Sunday. Not Tooth, but Bullet When a workingman of Pressburg recently felt that one of his back teeth had ached too long he went to a dentist for help. What was the dentist's surprise when he hauled out, not a tooth, but a bullet. Then the victim remembered that while in the Austrian army during the World war he had been hit in the jaw by a spent Russian bullet, which he thought had dropped out after Inflicting a alight flesh wound. Modern America A woman friend dropped in the other evening to chat with the wife, and was surprised to find the husband, enveloped in an apron, washing the dishes. "Where's the wife?" the visitor asked cheerily. "Over at the barber shop," came the grumpy reply.—Indianapolis News. Her Conservation Kross—Indeed she is.

Clerk—Y-yes, sir; if it doesn't rain. RUSSIAN TELLS OF There are people in Russia today living in a "Stone age" all their own, according to reports of Prof. Leon Tann, a Russian ethnologist. Professor Tann recently completed a tour of the wilds of Russia, and it was in the Jaroslav district that he found the peasantry utilizing stone for implements of numerous kinds for everyday usage where ordinary metal is now used. Lack of iron and steel was attributed as the reason for this backward step, but Professor Tann was of the opinion that this stone work of today was far superior to the stone implements turned out by men thousands of years ago. The hatchets and axes of stone made by the Jaroslav natives were particularly well done and serviceable. In the district of Orlow, Professor Tann found several communities where the natives virtually live without clothing of any kind all summer, and in winter hibernate in their huts and dens, and exist on potatoes, dried fish and dried watermelon rinds. No Passports for Russians The commissariat of internal affairs at Moscow has forbidden the issuance of further passports to Russians desiring to go to the United States, the number of applicants being more than five times the American immigration quota of 2,248. The Baltic and other ports are crowded with Russians anxious to sail for America, but the majority of these will be forced to return home. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Sunday before last a large congregation heard Pastor Bronson preach fine sermons and four or five united with the church. This Sunday, November 5, Rev. D. Over preached an excellent sermon and many praised God and several joined church. At night Pastor Bronson preached a great sermon and baptized and fellowshipped nine into the church. Then hundreds took the Lord's Supper. The collection was over $100. Mrs. Pash asked for a collection to go see her sick daughter. $14 was given her. The Sunday School is doing fine; the B. Y. P. U. is also progressing. Next Sunday at 6 P. M. Group No. 5 will render a program. The Sewing Circle is raising most money of all. They will receive their final receipt next Sunday for paying $595, for the velvet moquette carpet. They have asked the Publicity 'Committee to accept the check with an original poem. The Mission Circle has 13 subdivisions doing well. The Home Department of S. S. is working well. The youngest auxiliary of the church is the Religious Education Week Day School, which has over 330 pupils. Next Sunday, November 9, the pastor or some one of note will preach. Come to Metropolitan church, one of the noted churches of our city. Rev. and Mrs. D. Over departed for Baltimore, their new field of labor. Little Glady Greer is still sick from the operation she took. Mrs. Howard, sister of Mr. J. Dyson, is very sick in Quincy, Ill. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH The friends and members of our church had a good meeting last Sunday. Our splendid choir gave us some excellent music before service. The pastor's text, Luke 3, 4, subject "Wait on God." He preached an instructive sermon on making crooked ways straight, hilly ways level, etc. He pictured the great election wherein if we use a level brain, trusting God for guidance and voting right, our crooked ways and hilly problems would be smoothed out. He preached a good sermon and all learned and enjoyed it. The B. Y. P. U. was well managed Sunday evening. The Clubs are getting on nicely. The Mission Circle is making good also. Pray for our sick. Brother Truly was sick and is better. Brother Meritt is up from illness also. Come to church, you are always welcome. Rev. Reed and our pastor preach a great sermon at night from the life of Job. CENTRAL AMERICA Hitherto unknown white race, suggested by some to be of Welsh origin, is reported by explorers just back from the Darien district of Central America, thus adding to the number of mystery races discovered in recent years, says London Tit-Bits. The Japanese census of a few months ago revealed the unsuspected existence in that country of a tribe whose members wear no clothing, hunt with the bow and arrow, and speak no known dialect. Inhabiting a remote valley in North Japan, these strong people are almost savages; while what is more interesting to the ethnologist, or student of races, is that they are white-skinned. Not long ago a nearly white tribe was located in the heart of Brazil, where tradition states that white Indians have long lived. No direct evidence is available, but more than one explorer, among them Colonel Fawcett, perhaps the greatest living authority on Brazil, believes that they are still to be found in considerable numbers. These Indians are said to have blue eyes. Compared with their neighbors, the people of Ankolo, in South Uganda, are quite pale in complexion. They are of fine physique and apparently have no affinity with the negroes of the country. One of Them Gerald—"There's a fool born every minute." Geraldine—"When is your birthday?" Diet for a Canary "What is a collation?" "A little bit to eat served with a lot of style." One of His Favorites Editor—"Haven't I seen this joke before?" Jokesmith—"Possibly.

Gifts are scorned where glivers are despised. One must be poor to know the luxury of giving. Flattery corrupts both the receiver and the giver. The smaller the man the larger his troubles seem to him. Men seldom pay taxes on what they are reputed to be worth. Bitter medicine, like bitter experiences, is usually the best. Man is the only animal that can't be trusted to remain idle. A poor man's faults parallel with a rich man's eccentricities. It seems impossible to give your word and keep it—but it is. He who has felt nothing does not know how to learn anything. It pays some men to be honest, because they have less competition. A noble soul has no other merit than to be a noble soul.—Schiller. The average man doesn't worry much about the poverty of his neighbor. Beware of the bottle—especially if it is broken and you are driving an automobile. Free church seats might be appreciated more if they were less uncomfortable. The most undeserved as well as the most dangerous flattery is that which we bestow upon ourselves. Persian Philosophy Miss Elisabeth Marbury praised, at a dinner in New York, the single life. "Married life is so complicated," she said. "It is like the Persian story. "A Persian, you know, used to buy six loaves of bread every day. Another Persian asked him why he did so. He answered: "‘One of the loaves I keep; one I throw away; two I return; two I lend.’ "‘Complicated, most complicated,’ said the other Persian. 'Can't you be a little clearer, effendl?’ "‘Well,’ said the first Persaln, smiling, it's like this. The loaf I keep is for myself. The one I throw away is for my mother-in-law—may the foul fiends get her! The two I return are those I give my parents. The two I lend are those I give my children.'"—New York Mall. Home Fire Extinguisher One of the best and simplest of chemical fire extinguisher can be made out of old burnt-out electric light globes. These are submerged, nipple or point downward, in a dish or basin of carbon tetrachloride. Then with a pair of pilers the point is nipped off. The liquid then is sucked in by the vacuum in the lamp globe until nearly full. When filled the minute entry hole should be stopped with wax or cement which should not be allowed to come into contact with the liquid content. The filled globes should be stored in special racks, point upward. They are excellent as first-ald extinguisher for domestic or laboratory fires.—New York World.

"John don't need ho setting-up exercises. He sets up too late already, so I'd ruth you'd cut them out. But, say, if you've got any good getting-up exercises that are a sure thing, go to it with John!"—Wallace's Farmer. Bluebeard smiled as he opened the closet door and saw the bodies of his former wives hanging by their gory tresses. Then he snarled as he took a look at his next prospective victim. "Curses!" he screamed. "She's got her hair bobbed!"—American Legion Weekly. Would Mean More Trouble "The average flapper touches up her face fifty times a day." "It's lucky she can't see the back of her neck." — Louisville Courier-Journal. A Tribute "Have you ever kissed a girl before?" "That's my business." "Well, you know your business."

Friday, November 7, 1924 What He Needed The Villain Foiled! A Tribute Lifeboats for Airplanes Several new types of aircraft have been designed specially for marine use in conjunction with the navy, says London Tit-Bits. One, a scout, carries a crew of four in rapid seaward flights, from a shore base; a larger machine is driven by two motors, and has a crew of five; while a multi-engined giant carrying a crew of six is intended for prolonged observation flights over the open sea. A feature in the design of new seagoing aircraft is the provision of a small, light, specially designed lifeboat. This fits snugly into place along the big hull of the flying boat and does not set up any air resistance when the machine is in flight. Associate of Aaron Burr Blennerhassett's island is an island in the Ohio river near Parkersburg, W. Va., famous as the residence of Herman Blennerhassett, a wealthy Irishman. The Island was purchased by him in 1708, and a spacious mansion was erected on it. In 1805 he was visited by Aaron Burr and induced to assist him in his treasonable scheme of founding an empire in the West. Blennerhassett was arrested as one of Burr's accomplices, but was finally discharged without trial. His house and grounds were ruined by a mob. The remainder of his life was spent in an unavailing attempt to retrieve his fortunes—Kansas City Star. This Rabbit a Nuisance The "snowshoe" rabbit is becoming unpopular among foresters of northern Minnesota. This picturesquely named animal is very abundant this year, and is eating the tips and needles off young pine trees planted on denuded forest land. It also cats the foliage off young spruce, aspen and maples, and if the trees are more than three feet high, gnaws away their bark near the base. In one plantation 79 per cent of the trees were damaged, 43 per cent probably fatally. A Philadelphia firm ordered some white oak planks from a lumber company of Tloga, W. Va., and were informed that the planking could not be delivered for a few weeks because a robin was raising a family on the lumber pile and all concerned wished to give the birds a chance.—Exchange. The Magistrate—What do you mean, you have not seen him? How They Summered "What did you do during your vacation?" asked one returned student of another on the college campus the other day, says the Emporia Gazette. "I chauffered. What did you do?"

Her Single Reason THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE TRITE SAYINGS Avoid extremes, forbear resenting injuries. Good words cost nothing and are worth much. Wise men care not for what they cannot have. A man who will not flee will make his foes flee. There is no better looking-glass than an old friend. The mule doesn't admire the short ears of the horse. Sins that pay best are the last ones we want to give up. It's all work and no play with lots of would-be dramatists. Every man has admiration for people who laugh at his jokes. If you don't want to go under, don't venture out of your financial depth. A sensible girl draws the line at the poetic youth who deals in unkissed kisses. A wise man says what he has to say—and he always shuts up after saying it. If you are not afraid of failure it is very probable you will never have to face it. Most of the success in the world has been won because of the spur of opposition. Beware of the man who is always confessing his faults but never trying to correct them. Book learning is about all a man needs in this world—providing he spends his time in jail. Paper Makers Complain It seems like harkling back to early days that the manufacturers of high-grade papers have called on Secretary Hoover of the Commerce department to aid them in procuring a reserve stock of rags. Some of the mills had less than a week's supply on hand when they made the request, and none of them had any considerable stock. This was before the discovery that paper could be made from wood pulp, says the Brockton Times. In the early days of paper making tombs were rifled and the wrappings of mummies were converted into paper. For many years most of the rag stock for paper mills had come from across the sea. Smyrna was the great shipping point, and thousands of tons were sent here every year. Due perhaps to the prevailing poverty, Europe is sending less than half the usual amount of rags. Probably the people are still wearing them. Lying Down to Fly To lie luxuriously on soft cushions and thus pilot your own small air machine is the latest possibility in aerial flight. Tiny air-cars are being designed and are to be tested in flight. In which the narrow body, with wings on either side, accommodates just one occupant, lying prone. This will enable the tiny engine to drive the machine more swiftly through the air than would be possible with the air-resistance set up if a body was provided big enough for the pilot to assume the ordinary sitting position. Perfect comfort will, it is claimed, be assured by a sofa-like reclining frame. On this the pilot, enclosed in his miniature machine, will lie face downward, looking outwards through a front window or sideways and downwards through other little windows. Altitude and the Blood Dr. Joseph Barcroft of the physiological laboratory of Cambridge university, England, has found that hemoglobin, the red pigment of the blood, increases in quantity as one ascends to higher altitudes. He tells of an English scientist, the hemoglobin content of whose blood was slightly below normal at sea level. He ascended to Cerro de Pasco in the Andes, 14,200 feet above sea level. Four days later it had increased more than 2 per cent. Fourteen days later it had gone up more than 18 per cent. Italians Endow Library A library of Italian literature will shortly be endowed at New Orleans by the Italian Chamber of Commerce of that city, according to the Bollettino of the latter organization. Immigration to the New Orleans region dates back to a long time before the greater influx of Italians to the North and East, and it is planned that the new library, a gift to one of the city's universities, shall reflect the cultural standards prevailing in the New Orleans group.-The Interpreter. Unparliamentary His Wife—What do you think of that oriental dance? The Congressman — The motion seems to be somewhat irregular, but there being no objection from the house, the chair will follow it. Right in Style "In't that skirt rather tight around the legs, Malsie?" "Oh, no, dearle, it's just right. You don't have to move your legs much to dance nowadays, anyway." Ignorance Is Bliss Ignorance Is Bliss Mae—Has that handsome lifeguard taught you how to swim yet? Lucile—He has; but he doesn't know it. HARD WORK INVOLVED IN BEING A FAILURE "Every man is successful who does a good day's work in an honorable calling, is not greatly in anyone's way, and makes an honest living," says Ed Howe, popular paragrapher, in Hearst's International. "And it is easier to do this than it is to fail to do it. "The hard-working, honest man will have many difficulties to overcome, and many humiliations, but not so many as the shiftless who are a community burden. The hardest work in the world is being a failure; the easiest, being a success in some degree. Of our hundred million population, much more than half are successful. "Most young people going to school are successful, and playing the game fairly. A vast number of successful men are working at the various trades and callings, and in training to fill the larger positions. Great numbers of women and girls are successful, many of them poor, later to become better off. And all these are living easier lives than those who are wretched because of unnecessary failure." Insects That Produce Diseases in Humanity The zoological department of the Vienna Museum of Natural History opened recently a collection of insects and their relatives having a bearing on medicine, writes the Vienna correspondent of the Journal of the American Medical Association. The whole exhibit, divided into six groups, shows which of these organisms exerts a disease-producing action on human beings or animals (1) by means of the secretions of its glands, (2) by means of hairs, (3) by poisonous appendages (4) by sucking the blood, (5) by parasitism, or (6) by transmitting disease germs. The entire life cycle of these organisms, as far as it is known, is shown in a series of specimens arranged so as to reproduce the natural conditions, and short but concise explanations are placed in each receptacle. The organisms that are too small to be well visible with the naked eye are represented in colored photographic enlargements. Once a week expert guidance is provided. The entire collection comprises about 6,000 specimens. Have Characteristics The natives of the island of New Caledonia, which lies in the Pacific ocean several hundred miles east of Australia, have many physical resemblances to the Neanderthal race of prehistoric man, according to reports received at Washington from Prof Fritz Sarasin, a French anthropologist. The New Caledonians are regarded as among the lowest and most primitive of savages, a fact that gives additional point to Professor Sarasin's findings. He states that in a few respects they seem to be even more primitive than the long-extinct Neanderthalers, notably in their chinlessness and the simian structure of their noses. In other respects they are less primitive, but in general there is a singular and striking resemblance.—Science Service. The New-Rich Mayor Hylan, of New York, said at a dinner in New York: "Our new-rich multimillionaires are very amusing. The naive way they display their wealth reminds me of little Willie. "Little Willie was wearing his first pair of pants for the first time. As he played in his father's law office another lawyer dropped in. The two lawyers talked away together, but not a word about the new pants was said: "Willie stood this as long as he could. Then he said in a careless and indifferent way: "There's three pairs o' pants in this room." Perfectly Normal "Is there any cure for absent-mindedness?" asked a man of his doctor friend. "Why, are you absent-minded?" the physician asked, laughing at the question. "No," sighed his friend; "it's my wife. The poor dear makes the strangest mistakes. I gave her a $20 bill the other day with which to buy some shirts and B. V. D.s for myself, and she came home with a hat' and shoes for herself." Made It Unanimous Everbroke—"Yes, sir, the doctors gave me up a year ago." Pstunge—"So did all your other creditors." A New Order Mrs. Longwed—"Is your husband an Elk or a Moose?" Mrs. Justwed—"Neither one. He's just a dear." Progress "How are you getting along at school, Jimmie?" "Fine. We're learning words of four cylinders now!"— Life.

AFFECTED BY WORK OF GREAT SCULPTOR "I am a bit afraid to tell what I think of Saint-Gaudens," says Mr. Henry Holt, speaking in his "Garrulities of an Octogenarian Editor," of the great American sculptor. "I doubt whether we have the best of him in New York. When I look at his Sherman in the Plaza at Fifty-ninth street or his Farragut in Madison square I feel keen intellectual delight, but when I first looked at the Shaw monument and caught the light on the woman's face and turned and saw Saint-Gaudens standing behind me I do not mind confessing that tears were in my eyes and I found it hard to speak. "That's not, however, what I said I was afraid to tell, but I am going to tell it, though I cast discredit on my judgment. I have stood long before that pliteous Pleta in St. Peter's and before the Laocoon and the Niobe and the rest of the classic things, and I never shed tears or faltered in my voice before them. And that is why I think that in my time our own little old New York has produced the greatest sculptor the world has ever seen." Sunken Ships Worth Billions of Dollars Between 8,000 and 10,000 ships, of which nearly 6,000 are British, it is estimated, are lying on the ocean bed. These sunken ships are reckoned to account for some 15,053,788 gross tons, and their estimated value is $1,154,033,900—at prewar shipbuilding rates, says London Tit-Bits. With their cargoes, the ships below the sea are worth a fabulous amount—experts put the figures at $6,021,514,400 roughly. There is need for the ships as well as their precious cargoes to be raised, and there is small doubt that the salvage engineer will be kept busy for years hence. Ships of less than 2,000 tons can usually be raised bodily by means of pontoons; ships above such a mark require often more ingenious handling. An American has invented a salvage submarine which can have a door open below water without letting water into the ship. A European salvage company, too, has a patent underwater ship which carries several divers, and is a complete repair shop fitted with telephones and searchlights. ALL RIGHT — LET'S TRY THE "CONCEALED CHARM·CHOP HOUSE" THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE J. O. MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page 1.) school time. They have a fine home and are well fixed. Since the election is over or will be I will not tell you much about the meeting. Mrs. Beatrice Childs was there and she is one of the most speakingest women I have ever heard. Rev, J. T. Smith, D.D., made a great speech, and then it was up to me to put on the trimmings. If I failed it was not because I failed to try. I talked and talked, and then it was ended. Back to Kansas City, and there is where I had the job, because Colonel Roscoe Conkling Simmons, that speaker of speakers, who stands at the top in his class, none like him before now, and will never be. But he was in such demand that he could not get there. It was up to me to fill in, and honey many people thought Roscoe was talking, for they did not know him. The reporters came in to report his speech, and did report it. I was delighted to read the things Colonel Simmons had said to 1,500 people. I have been somebody once, although I was not known, if I never get to be again. I spoke for two nights in Kansas City, Kansas, and then off to St. Louis, and was the guest of Prof. Aaron E. Malone. Mrs. Malone was not at home, she was in Chicago getting ready to open the new Poro branch which will take place in a few days. Poro has purchased a fine building in Chicago, which is now being put in order, and will soon be thrown open to the public. It is to be the Chicago home for Poro, and you will find Mrs. Malone this way often. We made a trip to Springfield to hear the original Roscoe Conkling Simmons, and it was worth the trip. I have never heard him speak as he did that night in Springfield, the place where sleeps the bones of Abraham Lincoln the emancipator, the great statesman. It was some crowd, honey, so large until they had to get the big armory to hold them. The soldiers were there to hear him and a full band and a quartette sang. I was real proud of this wonderful crowd. I am here to tell you that he discussed the points and the issue, and covered the ground. He took the hide off of a few men. I beat it back to St. Louis, spent the day at Poro and at 6 o'clock I was on the Nickel Plate headed for Toledo. It was a real nice ride to this wonderful city. I spoke there in the morning and left in the afternoon for Cleveland. I met a few people, going directly to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Williams, the parents of the young worker in church and Sunday School, the girls yet in her teens, Miss Roger Williams, yet she is now in law school, having made up her mind that she is going to be a real first class lawyer. She is going to make them all sit up and take notice. I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Ova L. Brooks, that one woman who has reached the top in her profession, nurse. She is a real graduate and R. N. She reported that Hon. Charles Cottel had improved. Thanks be unto God. In the afternoon I went to Cleveland, where I got around some, and left at night for Chicago, reaching here Monday morning. Now that is going some. I am not through with this going business yet. I may get to see some more of the world before I am through getting around. Look out for my letters next week. If you want to write to me, send your letter care Arkansas Baptist College, Little Rock, Ark. Did you know that the Arkansas Baptists were going to meet next week? They are going to meet next Wednesday, at which time they are going to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their college, the Arkansas Baptist college. All the convention presidents of the country have been invited, and Dr. L. K. Williams, who is president of the National Baptist convention is going to me there. I am getting ready to join him there. It will take a little money and time. God bless you. J. O. MIDNIGHT. THOUGHT LITTLE OF BISHOPS' PROSPECTS Bishop Joseph F. Berry, of the Indiana annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, says that recently he was presiding at a conference in which the assignment of one elderly minister was apparently not to his liking. Leaving the church Bishop Berry said he chanced to be walking with a group of friends directly behind the disgruntled minister and his wife. "Now, John," said the good wife, "don't worry. I've been to that town and it is not a bad place. They have a nice parsonage, and things could be much worse." John apparently was not consoled, for his wife continued: "Maybe next year we'll get something better. We are getting old and will soon die and go to heaven, and thank.God, John, there'll be no bishops there."-Indianapolis News.

"I know a young lady who tried her hand one day at Scotch shortbread, and, my, but she was pleased with the result. A boy ran an errand for her afterward, and she gave him a piece of shortbread spread with apple butter as a reward. "The boy returned some minutes later and said to the young lady: "Much obliged for the apple butter, ma'am. Here's your piece o' board back." Reigns but Doesn't Rule It's a merry tale and illustrates just how much of a figurehead King Haakon of Denmark is in his republicminded, independent kingdom of Norway. Recently at a party the king dropped his handkerchief and a gentleman hastened to pick it up. "Thanks, ever so much," said the king gratefully. "I can't afford to lose it. It's the only thing in Norway I'm allowed to poke my nose into." ```markdown ``` Big Bass Stopped Mill August Jensen's flour mill at Reynolds, Del., came to a sudden stop. There was plenty of water in the pond, but the wheels refused to turn. Jensen made an investigation and found that the mill wheel had been stopped by a huge black bass that had been drawn into the race and wheel. The fish welghed just ten pounds and eight ounces.—Wall Street Journal.
