KANSAS Vol. XI J. O. MINGLES WITH FLORIDA MASONS J. O. MINGLES WITH FLORIDA MASONS Hobnobbs With Big Men And Women of Order New Orleans, La., April 30.—"Liverpulus Sinkumtumus," this is what you call a pass word that will admit you into a Masonic Grand Lodge, and honey put it down that I told you that I mingled with them Masons last week in Florida, and I am all-wise and never-to-be-forgotten Thirty-third degree high up in G Mason, and you must not get in my way unless you are some pumpkins yourself. Of course you will recall that I have been to Washington, D. C., mingling with Bishops A. J. Carey and Williams Decker Johnson, and Revs. John R. Hawkins, Financial Secretary and S. J. Johnson, that wonderful young man from Texas, and many other ministers and divines. I made it back to Florida as you recall if you will read the letter you read before this one, and there I was the guest of the Rev. Dr. H. Y. Tookes, a business genius, and a minister of way up yonder in his church, now pastor of new St. James, A. M. E. church, and I just stuck right close to his ruby side, because they call him "Grand Venerable" which means that he is way up in the Masons, and could be of some service to me in getting in the Grand Lodge without having to ride the goat. You will recall that I rode the goat in December last, but was never able to determine which it was "Mr. Billy" or "Miss Nanny," but it was some goat and I was just one more goat rider. But before telling of the Grand Lodge. I must tell you that Rev. H. Y. Tookes, is going to make that St. James truly a new one. Here is a church way down at the heel and mouth, too, so far as that is concerned, and nothing but. a man will be able to restore it to its standing in the conference, and for that reason Bishop John Hurst looked around and took one of his faithful elders, to put the job over, and it is going to be done. Already you can see signs of new life, and when the reports are made at the next annual conference you will find it ranking with Grant' Chapel, Mt. Zion and all them other churches. Dr. Tookes is one more busy man. He is remodeling his home, and when he gets through with that he is going to take his daughter, a student in Edward Waters college for a trip west. This will add to the education of Miss S. Garrett Tookes, and his wife, Mrs. Maggie Tookes, who is some scholar herself will be one more happy woman. God blessed this representative of Jesus with a fine wife, and I congratulate him. He deserves not only to be the next manager of the A. M. E. Book Concern, but to be one of the bishops, and I expect to see him there. I nominate him today for the Book Concern for four years, then for the bench. Now let us return to this Mason business, for I have seen them face to face, and helped them from time to time. I have hobnobbed with a wonderful man, who is an improvement on all the Hirams and the Solomons, and he is Most Worshipful David D. Powell, Grand Master of the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Florida. I would stop and drop a flower, at your feet Grand Master Powell, while you are able to smell them for I declare unto you my dear readers that Grand Masters of Masons are the most smellingest men in the world. I shall never forget my experience in North Carolina last December. Grand Master Powell at high twelve as they called it had a great big something as large as my hand, and knocked on a stand and asked some other fellow about the time. He had a watch and I don't see to save my life while he wanted to put on airs. Perhaps he was too lazy to pull his watch. At any rate that fellow answered him, and he said something else, and gave twenty or thirty knocks on that table and every man in there stood up. I do not remember all that was said, but soon they were praying. They had one man to pray for the whole and that was the only time this Most Worship had manners enough to pull off his hat. All the other men had their hats off, but there he stood up there, or sat up there either with his big old hat on, but honey he is a power. They tell me if he pulls of his hat, he is not so strong and some of his Masonic THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER brains may leak out. He is honored and respected by all because of his wonderful ability. Put it down that I told you that the Masonic Temple of Jacksonville, Florida, is the best and finest building in the country owned and operated by us people. I could and will say in the whole world. It was about to get away from us when this man was elected Grand Master. He cried out, "Stay thy hand Mr. Sheriff," in a loud tone, "for your hammer shall never fall on this property owned by my people. I am here to redeem and pay off." He made good and now they do not owe Mr. Charley Whiteman one cent. The Grand Lodge opened in due form, and followed all they had to do in way of business. Some scattering remarks were made by members of the "Craft," and I do not see to save my life why they call it "Craft," but I will learn later. They adjourned for dinner, that is what I said but a man said to me "You damphule you don't have sense enough to know that we have called off to come on again at the sound of the gavel in the east." I did not answer him, but I knew that I was way down there in Florida, south, and I wondered how in the hen feathers we were going to hear a sound from the east. Business and business. Dr. J., M. Baxter, of Philadelphia, general manager of the A. M. E. Book Concern, was special guest, of the Grand Lodge an institution where he had served before going to Philadelphia, and that fellow Charles Stewart, who they tell me is a 33rd degree mason was guest of honor, and I heard his address too. Grand Master Powell delivered his annual message. It commenced some thing like this: "Time, with its unceasing revolutions has again brought us to the threshold of another Masonic year, and to our Fifty-fifth annual communication. It is with no small degree of pleasure and high sense of honor that I stand before my fellowcraftmen today to render to you a true and faithful accounting of my stewardship." That is the way he commenced, and then he stepped on the gas so to speak. He waxed eloquent. He went into the accomplishment of the past twelve months, and honey, he did give them some information and the men just listened. I find that they provide for Masons and orphans when they are unable to provide for themselves. They have a Masonic Home at David City, Florida, and I would quote what he had to say about it. This is it: "Our Masonic Home, formerly Sisco, now named David City by resolution of the last Grand Lodge, is not a dream, but an assured fact and an important integral part of this Grand Lodge. It has thus far proven a refuge to a large number of disabled brethren since purchased, and its opportunities for doing good in our jurisdiction cannot be unwarranted nor disregarded. We are doing what we can to make David City all that a home for the aged should be. It is up to us to do our duty when called upon so to do. "I wish to congratulate you on the stand you have taken for the Home, by paying the small St. Johns Day assessment, which goes toward the payment of the property." Then he took up after saying many things about it, his official visits, which were many. He told about many new lodges organized, old lodges reinstated and many other good things. He is just the leader of men and the Most Worshipful Grand Master of all the jurisdictions. He is a man. I stopped down on the fourth floor, and there the Grand Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star was in session, presided over by the Princess of women, Mrs. Inez Alston, of Tampa, Fla., and right by her side was a wonderful man, Dr. J. M. Wise, of Florida. I never saw so many highly educated, refined cultured women in all the days of my life. They are just there, and they are doing all the good they can in all the ways they can. They are holding up a high standard of Christian womanhood. I want to talk about these women in another letter, and will take pleasure in doing so, but you will have to give me time. I shall have more to tell you about Mrs. Alston, Rev. J. M. Wise, Mrs. Powell, and many others. After making some remarks, I bade farewell to the state of Florida for the time being. I am now here, and I was met at the stable by the Rev. Dr. B. G. Dawson, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, who is sure to be a bishop in his church. He is doing (Continued on page 4.)

Newspapers in Buenos Alres are seriously debating the propriety of the adoption by men of pajama coats for streetwear during hot weather. Frequently in summer the burning winds from the pampas make the city unbearable. Gentlemen of the old school bravely stick to heavy dark clothing right through the torrid weeks. "Ducks" or "palm beaches" are scorned as foreign. Men of the trademan class, and particularly taxicab drivers, have begun to compromise by wearing pajamas, and the custom threatens to become general. The pajamas are, many of them, of bright and varied colors. Physique Value When Frank A. Vanderlip was presiding over the largest financial institution America has ever known, the National City bank of New York, he said: "In picking a man for a highly responsible executive position, I always take into account both his physical condition and his physique. Unless he has built up a strong, healthy body, I don't want him, because during the terrible stress and strain of a great crisis, when you need his services most, he is likely to cave in"—Hearst's International-Cosmopolitan.

Grandma had just arrived on a visit and to take part in celebrating young Bobbie's birthday on the morrow. After supper, Bobbie started to fidget around grandma's chair.

Tree Quickly Felled Rapid felling by a novel method was accomplished at Morden, England, in order to make way for the extension of the City and South London railway from Clapham Common into Surrey. By means of a monkey winch—an apparatus used in the Australian bush—an elm tree 65 feet high was brought to the ground in ten minutes. The winch was secured by a steel cable to a small tree and another cable connected to the elm. Two men steadily tightened the cable and the tree fell. It was estimated that by old methods it would have taken three men three days to remove the tree and its roots. By the new method the roots were pulled out intact. Epidently Fighting Owl Resolving to get rid of a marauder that killed some geese, Henry Murchie, of Island Falls, Malne, set a trap and was somewhat surprised to find that he had caught a large owl. It would seem that the owl had been a pugnacious bird, for from the odor it was quite plain that he had had a recent encounter with a skunk and when he was taken from the trap it was found that his breast and neck were full of porcupine quills.

It is many nations, any age and both sexes to the child who has but one doll to caress. Now it is a Dutch girl with flapping cap, long golden braids and bodice, now it is a clown with palmette face or a cry-baby with tears on its cheeks. It may be a flossy French teddyler with long golden curls or a neat Red Cross nurse with bobbed black curls. It may be a slant-eyed Chinese, a dusky black boy or an Indian papoose. The doll alters its countenance, as well as its frock. Besides a trunk full of dresses, the little mother has a box full of heads. She may get a body with a couple of changes, then add to her family by acquiring more heads. With each head comes a costume to match. The body is made with a brass plug neck and the heads have brass sockets to fit. With two turns the head is removed, and with two more another is fitted singly in place. Thus a dozen dolls may be had in one. FOOLISH TO WORRY ABOUT ONE'S HEART Persons who are the surest they have weak hearts are in many cases laboring under a delusion, while the ones who least suspect it are those whose hearts need treatment. This is the opition of Dr. William Duncan Reid, Boston heart specialist, who tells in Hygeia why heart disease heads the list in the mortality statistics. "Many persons come to the doctor with some such list of symptoms as these—rapid heart action with pain around the heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, opposition, blue-skinned hands. That sounds like a bona fide sick heart, doesn't it? Well, it isn't. The doctors call it effort syndrome, which means that due to some disturbing factor a set of symptoms appear simulating cardiac disease although no impairment of the heart has occurred." The only way to know if your heart is in good condition is to have a periodic examination by your doctor-and not worry, says Doctor Reid. Crisis for Men A traveling salesman standing in the lobby of a downtown hotel was discussing men's clothes. "The trouble with suits," he declared, "is that when you buy one made from a material that will wear a long time you have a suit that is not very attractive. On the other hand, the suit that looks well on you and makes a good impression on others is of the sort of material that not only loses its shape quickly but wears out quickly. I hope some manufacturer some day looms a cloth that will have the toughness of the one mingled with the beauty of the other. Then the situation will be cleared."—Detroit News. A Salute Dill works in a downtown office. He has a habit, when yawning, of indulging in a good stretch, which brings the arms above the head in a wavelike motion. He was visibly embarrassed a few days ago when a business caller at another desk in the office noticed the wave-like motion of the arms, and, thinking the salute was intended for him, responded with a similar salute.

Record Beauty Parlor New York city claims to have the largest beauty parlor in the world. It occupies the entire floor of a half-block building and it cost about $500,000 to fit it up. It is possible for a patron to spend $114 at one sitting. Probably an Oversight Probably an Oversight At least Nero was honest. The towel found in his bathhouse recently by excavators did not bear the Pullman mark.—Detroit News. Cash and Carry For a Saving THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Things used in moderation last a long time. For he that once is good, is ever great.—Ben Johnson. No one is born without faults; he is best who is beset by least. Good counsels observed are chains of grace.—Thomas Fuller. To make another person hold his tongue, be you first silent. Your efforts to please others will invariably afford you pleasure. One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning. It is a great argument in a man's favor to have shown moderation on both sides. To bear troubles is a light thing; to endure them to the end is a heavy thing. Many men are wise about many things, and are ignorant about them selves. Most men are more willing to indulge in easy vices than to practice laborious virtues. Recollect, every day, the things seen, heard or read, which make any addition to your understanding. Ever notice how easily the heart-broken girl cements the pieces together and awaits another smash? Valor gives awe, and promises protection to those who want heart or strength to defend themselves. Caring for Ant Eggs Is New Occupation Attention has lately been called to two unsuspected, if not brand new, trades—that of the professional dinner getter-up, who arranges testimonial banquets at so much a plate, and that of the self-avowed principal of a ball lot-fixing school, with 30 pupils, in an office building. Even less known is the occupation of caring for ant eggs, the New York Times says. It would take a great many ants to keep one man busy all the time, yet by and large, enough work is given to this task in New York to represent a considerable total of labor hours in a year. The ant egg needs to be coddled, though not in the culinary sense. It has a reputation for temperament, deserved or not. It comes by the million in paper packages. Japanese and Chinese stores carry this commodity. "It is very good," says the Japanese. "for soft-bill birds." But who has any soft-bill birds in New York? The Japanese shrugs and bobs. "It is very good also," he says, "for goldfish. But not too much." Ancient Civilization East Indians have always been proud of their age-old civilization, and they believe that it is as ancient as any in Asia. Archeology has now discovered definite monumental evidence to justify their belief. Knowledge of Indian antiquities had previously extended up to 2,500 years, but now, in the light of fresh discoveries, this period is doubled, and it is apparent that 5,000 years ago the Indians were liv. ag in well-built cities and were in possession of a relatively mature civilization with a high standard of art and craftsmanship, according to a special correspondence from Bombay to the Christian Science Monitor. A Town Booster The citizens of University Heights are very proud of the cleanliness of their suburb, and seldom miss an opportunity to impress the visitor with that fact. They even boast a flock of white pigeons. Recently little Henry was talking enthusiastically about the pigeons, to an admiring visitor. He concluded by assuring her-that "Really, all pigeons are white. Those downtown are colored by the smoke and smog down there. Even some of the people who have lived down there a long time are colored. University Heights is a clean place."—Indianapolis News. Wild Animals Being Saved Concerted world-wide movement undertaken to protect wild animals is proving to be successful. Great Britain started the movement with bird sanctuaries, and America followed. The first wild life sanctuary in the United States was Yellowstone National park. In Africa the movement has taken popular hold. Many types of wild life have become practically extinct, as for instance, the seacow, biggest of amphibians, and the bustard, not to forget the elephant in certain countries. Tragic Failure New York is America's gayest city—and saddest. Back of the tinselled glitter is ever the muffled note of despair. We who are caught and held in its glamorous web are always conscious of the futility of lives around us. It is a promised land strewn with blasted hopes. For one success we see a thousand miserable failures. And nowhere is failure quite so tragic.—O. O. McIntyre, in Hearst's International-Cosmopolitan. Hopitals and Orphanages There are more than 7,000 hospitals in the United States and Canada and nearly 2,000 orphanages for dependents. Science Service. Women Work for Peace More than a million women are pledged to universal peace. Converse With Insects. Only Matter of Time J. B. S. Haldane, the British biochemist, says in the Forum that it's only a question of time before man will be talking with bees and ants. The investigations of Wheeler of Harvard have made it very probable that the behavior of social insects such as ants, instead of being based on a complicated series of special instincts, rests largely on an economic foundation-not so very unlike our own. The ant that brings back a bug to the nest gets paid for it by a sweet juice secreted by those that stayed at home. On the other hand, a German entomologist at Kiel has been tackling the problem of how much one bee can tell another and how it does it. Tomorrow it looks as if we should be overhearing the conversation of bees, and the day after tomorrow joining in it. We may be able to tell our hive bees that there is a tin of molasses for them if they will fertilize those apple trees five minutes' fly to the southeast; Mr. Johnson's tree over the wall can wait. To do this we should probably need a model bee to make the right movements of its feelers, and perhaps the right nose and smell. Why should we wait to see if there are "men" on Mars when we have on our own planet highly social and fairly intelligent beings with a means of communication? Talking with bees will be a tough job, but easier than a voyage to Mars. Youngster Set Value It was Paul's first ride on the railroad with a ticket of his own. True, it was only a half-fare ticket, but it was an honest-to-goodness ticket nevertheless: Mother wanted to put it in her pocketbook along with hers, but Paul would not hear of it. He clutched it tightly in his hand and sat up very straight, as becoming one of so much importance. The conductor came along soon. "Ticket," he said, holding out his hand toward Paul. Paul just looked at him in palmed surprise. "Ticket, there, sonny," the conductor insisted. "No, sir," Paul spoke up. "If you want a ticket go buy you one where I got this. This one's my very own!" Booty Found in Canal Fortune in booty was discovered by the French police when they drained the St. Martin canal, Paris, the other day in search of the body, of a missing man. The body was not found, but there was brought to light a rare collection of valuable church ornaments and relics, the booty of many burglaries, which thieves had found unsalable and thrown into the canal. There were gold fonts and other articles exquisitely enameled that are almost priceless as historical specimens of a nearly lost art. There were beautiful images and statues, and the collection altogether showed the canal was a depository for most of the unsafe booty which came into the hands of Parisian robbers. Identification of the objects is in progress, and it is hoped that through them some clews may be discovered to some important burglaries that up to now have remained mysteries. Began in Humble Life Many famous French actors and singers have sprung from working familles. Verdier, one of the best singers in France, was a village blacksmith, while Franz, the leading tenor of the Paris opera, was employed by a railroad company as a brakeman until he was forty years old. Antoine, famous actor and manager, started life as a clerk for an electric light company, while the comedian Chevalier had a fruit stand near the Comedie Francalse. Note, once famous baritone, was a railway porter. Xavier Privat, a favorite of the Montmartre cabarets, used to be a beggar. He sang in the streets for a few cents or a crust of bread. Fish-Used as Money Fishing is so predominantly the industry along the seacoast of Labrador that there is a scarcity of money in circulation and the result is that fish are being used as a token of commercial exchange. On account of poor fishing seasons which recur frequently, the problem is one that is being met by the officials in plans for establishing industries which would bring money into those communities. The residents also are subjected to diseases of malnutrition, due to eating too much fish without balancing rations. Berberl is one of the common diseases there. Can Start Right Now There was a literary discussion under way at the club. "The remarkable distinction." observed Hoffy, "of having a book published at the age of sixteen has been achieved by Miss Wallaby Wombat of Hampshire, England." "Nothing remarkable about that," asserted Cuthbert. "At sixteen?" "As-things go now she is old enough to publish reminiscences." — London Punch. Limit in Laziness "That fellow Lopp, who loafs around here so much, is very lazy, isn't he?" asked the travelling salesman. "Eh-yah!" replied the proprietor of the crossroads-store.

Wait and read it. We are all getting ready for the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. congress to be held in Wichita, Kansas, in June. I saw Dr. H. K. Hill, and he told me that everything was ready. Mrs. Norene Davis, writes that she was glad to see the date and hoping that she will be able to cut her cloth so as to be there. Mrs. H. D. Kemp, Dr. Bowren, Rev. McNeal, Mrs. Rosa Jones and Eva White and many others attended the Baptist district board meeting in Wichita, this week. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Gamble have moved in their newly purchased house on Nebraska avenue. The Citizens' Forum will render a program in Lawrence next Sunday, May 3rd. The N. A. A. C. P.

Matthews at a luncheon, Tuesday. A program for the Orphans' Home was rendered Thursday night at Northeast Junior High school. Mr. Ben Grigsby was home after his long journey on the road, out East. BREAD CRUST HAS NO VALUE AS FOOD Making children eat bread crusts may be a useful practice from an economical standpoint, but the time-honored belief that the crusts possess better dietary qualities than the center of the bread seems to have scant basis in fact. This was revealed in some interesting experiments just completed by Prof. Roscoe Hart Shaw of the American Institute of Baking, says Popular Science Monthly. Professor Shaw took two young albino rats of the same brood and fed one on crusts and the other on crumbs from the centers of the same loaves. The rat that was fed on crumbs reached normal size at maturity and was strong and sturdy, while the other remained scarcely larger than a mouse and was weak and puny. Repetition of the experiment on other rats brought always the same result. We had been much troubled by stray dogs tipping over the garbage pall standing on the concrete walk, near the back door. Their method was to knock down the pall, scatter the contents on the walk and eat what appealed to them. I had so often had to clean up after them that one morning, hearing the familiar noise outside, I rushed out of the back door angrily stamping my feet and shouting, "Sh—sh—sh." This time, however, it was our astonished garbage collector who faced me.—Chicago Tribune. Plan Revolving Garage A possible solution of the shortage of parking and garage accommodations is offered in a revolving garage to be erected soon in the West end of London, England, says Popular Science Monthly. The floors of the garage will be arranged as concentric rings, each of which will be divided into a number of one-car compartments. The floor will be revolved so that any compartment can be brought into line with the main entrance.

MIDNIGHT He Was Astonished THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Every young man should learn to paddle his own canoe—but he should learn to swim first. Many a good man has strayed into the crooked path by following the direction of a corkscrew. Every middle-aged woman is set in her ways and opinions, but you can't induce her to admit it. No town absolutely suits a man except the one where he is spending his vacation—the first day. There is a lot of brotherly love going to waste because of failure to find some one to bestow it upon. Every time a man is too slick to go downtown his wife begins to wonder how she will look in mourning. DAM IN KENTUCKY LARGEST IN WORLD Kentucky, says the Louisville Times, soon will be able to boost artificial falls that are 70 feet higher than Niagara, when the great rock-filled Dix river dam—the largest in the world—has been completed on the Dix river, near High Bridge. Here, between steep stone cliffs which form the banks of the river, more than one and one-quarter million cubic feet of rock have been used in constructing a dam that is 270 feet high, 700 feet thick at its base, tapering to 24 feet at its summit, and has a crest 920 feet long reaching from cliff to cliff. The back waters of the dam will make a lake stretching 36 miles up the valley. A waterfall of 235 feet will be utilized, whereas the falls at Niagara are only 165 feet. In order to provide an outlet for the river while the dam is being constructed, a tunnel 900 feet long and 28 feet in diameter was carved through the solid rock which forms the banks of the river. Since the development of electric energy, light has steadily become cheaper with the result that light for household purposes today is only about one-sixteenth as expensive as it was 40 years ago. This is one of the very few commodities the cost of which has come down in recent years. In 1887 about 1,115 candlepower could be bought for $1, but by 1923 $1 would buy 16,200 candlepower. Auto Drives Out Monks Modern life, exemplified by the modern automobile horn and the glare of electric lights, has proved too much for the Trappist monks of Banz, according to a report from Munich, Bavaria. Despatring of any real seclusion in their monastery at Bamberg, they will soon withdraw to the mountain tops in Bavaria. Several sites are being studied for the retreat. "Hooking On" in Midair Speeding at 53 miles an hour above Scott field, Illinois, recently, a Sperry messenger plane hooked itself to the army dirigible TC13, traveling at the same speed. This remarkable feat was accomplished by means of a metal hook above the motor of the plane, which caught a trapeze swinging beneath the airship. BUT-AFTER A.
