Kansas City Advocate

PAGE FOUR J. O. MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page 1.) This is one more aggressive city, and there is a great cry or demand for Poro up there, and I hope Mrs. Malone will see that Poro is represented there. I am sure that this is going to be done, because the time is coming when you will find Poro all over the civilized world. Speaking of Poro, they have just opened a branch office or place in Chicago, that is second to none in the country. It is not as large as the St. Louis business place, but honey it is as classy, and you may tell the world that I told you so, and when you are in Chicago, just go to 4411 Grand Boulevard and you will find it just as I told you you would. The fad now is Poro face powder, Poro cold cream, Poro vanishing cream, Poro deodorant, Poro talcum powder; Poro perfume and Poro toilet water, Poro soap—in fact everything that goes to make up toilet can be secured in Poro. We thank God for the life and service of Mrs. Annie Turnbe Pope Malone, the wonder, and right by her side is that wonderful business genius, the scholar, the thinker, Aaron E. Malone. They are just lifting us up and we must measure our success and our race by the Malone standard. But let me get back to my ride. I left that Falls, and beat it to Fort Worth, where I found the Rev. H. S. Sims, with his automobile car carriage waiting to tote me to his home for rest. I accepted this and went with him home, and was cordially received by his wife. He is pastor of the A. M. E. church there, and if you recall he was candidate for Financial Secretary at the last general conference, but was not elected. He is on record. Dr. A. B. Borders came along, stuck a needle in me for treatment, and then to bed I went for the day and night, getting rest and medicine. Mrs. Borders was sick in bed, hence I did not get to see her. Met Mrs. Nelson, Mrs. Boone and Mrs. McNorton. All of these called to see the sick man and left a word of good cheer together with a prayer. I thank them. Tuesday morning found me much improved and ready to ride from Fort Worth to this place. At the stable I was joined by Bishop William Decker Johnson, his wife and brother, and several others. Then Rev. W. R. Carson rode down to the stable in Dr. Sims' automobile car carriage, purchased his ticket. He is an African Methodist preacher, but has been tampered with. We got in our special, but he was not with us there. He looked so much like one of them that he just went and rode with them, and we did not get close enough to hand him some of the chicken lunches we had. Bishop Johnson had song and prayer on the train for breakfast, song and prayer for dinner, and then at 2 o'clock we got off at this place. Do you know Bishop William Decker Johnson? If you do not I wish you could get hold of him long enough to just know him. He is one of the most remarkable men in this race of ours. He is all heart and sympathy. So good is he, until I am of the opinion that he would not kill a bed bug. He is certainly following the Master, meekly and lowly, ready to serve, and to forgive, and even prays for those who would smite him. His Christian faith has been tested. I want to congratulate the African Methodist church in Texas for having such a man as bishop. He is a man who never allows an object of charity to come and go away unnoticed. Blind men just follow his conferences, because they are helped. He is willing to help every worthy cause, and right by his side is his wife. Her beauty is in her character, in her life, in her example for the young women of our race all over this country. She lives the life and then says to others "Just follow me." I have been ispired by coming in touch with Bishop Johnson and his wife, end even his brother, Dr. F. M. Johnson, and I feel myself a better WHAT'S THE USE man by the contact. They have held a great conference here, and I have attended it myself. While in Cameron I have been the guest of Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Hughes. But I will have to separate them, because Rev. J. H. Hughes is a presiding elder and was leader of his conference in the last general conference, and his wife, Mrs. L. M. Hughes, is president of the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Convention of the African Methodist Episcopal church. President of the entire connection, and from that you may see that I am stopping with the ups here in this place. I have never had so much chickens and Turkeys since I have been in the world, and I have wished for a thousand stomachs, but I am not permitted to put much into the one I have, and I don't see what I would do with a thousand. I know what I would do with a thousand tongues, I would just lick a river of molasses dry, but the stomachs. I just don't know. I have seen the Rev. C. W Abington, of Dallas, mingling around here. He is one more busy man, and some day he is going to be one of the bishops of the African Methodist church. He is just made of that kind of stuff Now, if you want to reach me with a letter, send it care Dr. J. W. Jones, Grand Chancellor, Winston-Salem, N. C. I am headed that way right now. Things are now getting in shape for the Lincoln League in February in Chicago. I expect to go to help to put President Coolidge in his chair in March, and I am also going to Florida. I will have to bring this letter to a stop. Look for me in this world. Onion Only Eatable Lily The chief value to man of the lily family, to which the onion belongs, is a purely ornamental one, says Dr. A. B. Stout, director of laboratories of the New York botanical garden, in the Detroit News. Doctor Stout is an expert on lilies. A general survey of the true lilies and their near relatives reveals that the lily family contains relatively few plants of importance as food and fiber crops, says Doctor Stout. Of these the onions are perhaps most important. The young shoots of asparagus are among the delicacies of the spring season. Bulbs of certain of the true lilies are eaten by man, especially in China. The seeds of a Ruscus are used as a substitute for coffee. One member of the lily family, New Zealand flax, yields fiber. Several members yield medicinal products; of these sarsaparilla (from smillax) may be mentioned. The list of important economic plants in this family is, however, not a noteworthy one.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE MENTAL POWER OF SEXES ON EQUALITY Old Idea of Women's Inferiority Is Disproved. Ever since Adam exchanged his rib for a woman, men have been wondering whether he made a good bargain, James Welnland remarks, in Popular Science Monthly. Many points of the question have led to controversy, but one in particular, there is, and always has been, surprisingly little divergence of opinion; the vast majority of men are quite certain that women have "no brains," this despite all the famous women of history. Recently, though, psychology has got right down to cases and measured both men and women scientifically with the same yardstick, and reported that men and women are just about equal in intelligence. Very elaborate intelligence tests were recently given at Colorado college to 115 men and 111 women. The average score for both men and women was exactly the same—142 points. A combined study of the student bodies of several western universities shows that the percentage of students getting "A" and "B" grades in their studies through a long period was for men 75.4, and for women 75.2. In a joint psychological test of men students of Harvard university and women students of Radcliffe college a few months ago, a man and a girl tied for first place, while for the men the average score was 50.5 and for the women 55. There rarely appears any appreciable difference between male and female students, taking them all the way from kindergarten through college. Neither will you find any considerable difference in the quality of the output of men and women performing tasks that lie within the capabilities of each. It is only recently that women discovered certain positions as possible careers. The United States bureau of census reports, for example, that the number of women chemists and metallurgists has more than trebled in ten years. In the same time the number of women college presidents and professors has increased from less than three thousand to more than ten thousand. With about eleighteen hundred women lawyers and judges, we now have three times as many as there were a decade ago. We find more than four thousand women bank officials, almost as many women officials in manufacturing and similar enterprises; women doctors, dentists, and clergymen in legion. There are even more than one thousand women who earn their living as chauffeurs. Do not these figures indicate that the past found women "ineffective" in these fields merely because their training and opportunity had not directed their interest to them? Words That Work Hard There are words it is almost impossible to avoid using, however carefully we may try to do so. It is said that a quarter of the task of expressing oneself in the English language is borne by nine words—and, be, have, it, of, the, to, will, and you. It is asserted that these nine, with 34 other words, form half the words the average talker uses in ordinary conversation. The additional 34 are as follows: about, all, as, at, but, can, come, day dear, for, get, go, hear, if, in, me, much, not, on, say, she, so, that, these, this, though, time, we, with, write, your, her and one. It would be an interesting and instructive occupation for readers to underline on any one page of this paper the words included in this list of 43 and see how near the total number comes to being half of the whole. True to His Clan A Glasgow business man, named Campbell, tells of the strange survival of a clan feud which was brought unpleasantly to his notice during a Highland tour. He was driving in the Glencoe district when he happened, unwisely, to remark to the Jehu, "Perhaps it would be dangerous for me to say in this district that my name is Campbell." The driver's response to the pleasantry was impressive, for he stopped the machine at once and told his fare that he would drive him no farther. "I am a McDonald," he said, with dignity, "and I will never drive a Campbell, if I can help it." And he left Campbell in the glen—London Morning Post. WISDOM'S WHISPERS Slack and you slip. Plenty is the child of peace. Patience is the art of hoping. Learn to read. Read to learn. If one is uncomfortable, he is in danger of drifting into cynicism. Every room is hotter or colder after you look at the thermometer. A lead pencil is not a fountain pen, but it never leaks. Success is in knowing how to overcome bad luck. A slap on the back is so rare as to seldom be distasteful. A vegetarian who eats meat when he is invited out is polite. Three bad guesses will silence a man's guessing for a long time. Mortification comes to him who takes "Come again" too seriously. Quarrels are due to bad livers as well as bad health being due to them. We all think we are entitled to a few bad habits, because we know they are inevitable. Nervous prostration was unknown when people had more to do and less to think about. Were cats domesticated to catch mice or because we wanted another pet besides the dog? Boys should take care of their health, of course, but too much of that will make them unhappy. Does the world's badness distress you? Remember, it has a million years in which to improve. Excavations at Kish Show Man's Progress Discovery of the stylus, the oldest known writing instrument, in excavations at Kish, the world's most ancient "mystery city," has solved the riddle of how cuneiform script was written, it was stated by D. C. Davies, director of the Field museum, at Chicago. Mr. Davies stated that records of man's progress dating back 6,500 years had been excavated at Kish. He declared indisputable evidence that the Summerlans gave the art of writing to the world. These people, Mr. Davies explained, existed before "the splendors of Babylon" arose, and in the same country as that occupied by the Babylonians at a later day. Kish, their capital, was nine miles from Babylon on the banks of an old channel of the Euphrates. It was a vast metropolis, with a civilization older than Egypt's. China Discovers Yeast Insistent calls of Chinese housewives for fresh bread has led to the recent establishment of a modern compressed yeast plant near Shanghai, capable of producing 3,000 pounds of yeast daily. The tendency of the Chinese to turn more and more from their traditional rice habit has become noticeable in recent years with the starting up of flour mills throughout the republic and the increased imports of flour. The new yeast plant is the only one of its kind in the Far East, the New York Times says. Its product is sold as far south as Singapore and as far north as Harbin. Town 250 Years Old Sherborn, Mass., reached its two hundred and fifteenth birthday during the second week of October, and a celebration which lasted a week was a big event in the community. Sherborn didn't just grow like Topsy, but was formally founded, and for this reason the celebration was more significant. Millions Paid to Hunt During the season sportsmen in the United States pay on an average about $5,000,000 for hunting permits and licenses of all kinds. This money is used by the various states to establish game preserves, pay for wardens and generally to reduce taxation. By L. F.
