WESTERN UNIVERSITY, KANSAS CITY, KANSAS KANSAS Kans.Hist.Societ KAN Vol. XI J. O. ATTENDS BAPTIST CONVENTION NEWPORT NEWS, Virginia, May 21.—See where I was last week, and then look where I am today, and then see where I will be when you read this letter and you will declare that I am one more moving baby, and I am trying to keep up with the sun, moon and stars and everything else that moves around and about us or above us. I wrote you last from the place where I was when I took my pen in hand, and I think that was in Alabama, about a city called Birmingham, and there they were holding up the universe in one hand and the Rev. Dr. J. W. Goodgame in his sermon, almost made Paul live again. He was eloquent and had something to say every time he opened his mouth there came out a thought, and honey he said some real good things to the two graduates from Tuggle Institute. I am here to tell you that Mrs. Fannie C. Blevins, president of Tuggle Institute, Birmingham, and successor to Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle is doing a great big work, and she is bringing things to happen. She is putting the educational work on the map, and in doing this she is helping the youth of the race. It is a great thing to serve people, and to help to inspire the youth. Mrs. Blevins was trained right under Mrs. Tuggle and was a part of her life, hence it is easy for her to take up the work and push it right on to completion. The Knights of Pythias, the Order of Calanthe, the Rising Sons and Daughters of Protection and the Ladies and Knights of Honor will unite and call on the many other friends and admirers of the late Carrie A. Tuggle to join in raising one hundred thousand dollars for the erection of a memorial building at the Tuggle institute, and the building is much needed. Right by the side of Mrs. Blevins is Dean Mitchell and his companion, and the companion is the daughter of Carrie A. Tuggle. She is in the struggle to keep the school going on and on upwards. They have a fine body of students and have accomplished much good for God and the race. It was early on Monday morning that Dean Mitchell toted me and all my belongings to the searboard Air Line stable, and there we pulled off the shore, so to speak for this place. I passed through Atlanta, but did not stop, but did spend a few hours in Richmond, Virginia. Of course you know something about Richmond, and it is the same old Richmond that it was back yonder when me and THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER General Grant. were around about there. Some improvements have been made, but it is still Richmond. I had the pleasure of going to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Levi C. Brown and their daughter at home and they have one in school in Petersburg $ _{1} $ Va. He is representing the National Insurance Company of Washington, but I will not talk about that this week. I enjoyed looking around in town, and then off in the afternoon in company with Dr. A. L. James and others for this other place, and here I am in it writing to you this letter. I am here this week attending the meeting of the Virginia Baptist state convention, and you may put it down that I told you from the shoulder that they are having some meeting here. It is nice to know that, and to see this large intelligent body of Christian men, and a few women, for women do not attend the state convention much, because they have one of their own. But they have a few who are there to represent this that and the other. The convention is presided over by Dr. Thomas Jefferson King, pastor of the Fifth Street Baptist Church, Richmond, Va., and he is one of the most scholarly men I have met in a few moons. To the core he is a Christian gentleman and devoting his life to the uplift and salvation of his people. Just a leader of men and you can't get away from that if you tried. Dr. King has a wonderful following in his home town, and then he is the idol of the Baptists of Virginia. He is not a man to stand off and tell men what to do, but he takes his place in the front and says, "Let us do," and you will find his dollars, his influence his prayers and he's all right there. From the church of which he is pastor, he brings up his dollar money to the educational work every year, which is never less than a thousand dollars and from that on up the road of dollars. Headed by the president the convention launched a campaign for a quarter of a million dollars, and the men declare that they are going to raise it and make the necessary improvements on their Virginia Theological Seminary and college in Lynchburg. The Baptists are all working together as one, and in this way they are just doing things. They are making time count, and preparing men and women for the future. They hold up the Baptists. When I got to town I reported to the church, and the pastor, Rev. A. A. Galvin, told me that I was assigned to stop with W. H. Brown, who is one of the trustees of the church, and the owner of a fine modern home. The pastor said that it was his desire to have me in one of the best homes, CITY ADVOCATE where I would be well cared for, and I am glad to report that he succeeded. Mrs. Brown received me just like she was receiving a brother, and told me that she was delighted to have me with her during the meeting, and she had been told that I could not eat all the different kind of meats, and for the week she had secured fish, chicken lamb, mutton and sheep, and told me to be right at home, and believe me I was at home during all the weeks and I have been shouting. I had the pleasure of getting in touch with Mrs. E. M. Jordan, and her sister, Mrs. Grace P. Bowling. Mrs. Bowling is the widow of the late R. H. Bowling who was at one time president of the convention, and Mrs. Jordan is one of the leading workers in this part of the world. They had me to visit their home as usual, for I never come to this part of the world without them having me to come in to see them and exchange a few words. Not only say a few words, but send a few things into my eternity. This I did do one evening during the week. I was thrown in touch with one of the great men of the race in this part of the country, A. F. Williams, secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association and one of the leading men in the country. The man who is doing things that will help to make men. He is a genius, and as black as the shoes he wears, but polished, refined and cultured. It is great to meet him. This is indeed a busy world and there are many busy people here, and the world continues to grow and go up. Now all attention is turned to the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress to meet in Wichita, Kansas, June 25. This will be one of the greatest meetings ever held in Kansas, and believe me them people in Wichita have prepared to entertain many. They are just putting the big pot in the little one. I am moving that way, but before going any where else I am going to Waco, Texas, to be there at the meeting of the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias and I expect to devote a whole letter to this. I am going to spend Sunday in Columbus, Ohio, and then on to Texas. Look for me wherever you see me. I am going to have a few things to say to you from time to time. J. O. MIDNIGHT. BUY YOUR COAL DIRECT FROM MINE G. A. White, 2061 N. Third street, K. C. K., is agent in Kansas for coal in car lots, direct from the mines to the consumer. You save the middle man's profit. Buy now for winter, while prices are low. BISHOP H. B. PARKS STOPS OFF FOR A DAY Bishop H. B. Parks and daughter Miss Naoma Parks stopped in the city for a day last Saturday on their way from New York back west to his district. They were the guests of Rev. C. E. Brooks and wife at the parsonage, 1111 North Eighth street. They left that evening for Oklahoma to attend the commencement of one of the church schools, which is in his diocese. Bishop Parks lives in Oakland, California. He was looking in the best of health and his friends here were delighted to see him. Bishop Parks presided over this district for fourteen years and did a wonderful work under his administration. A SLASHING SALE The Chicago Unclaimed Freight Store at 525 Minnesota avenue in third annual anniversary starting last Saturday, May 16th and to run for 15 days had a wonderful business for the first week. Everything in this packed house of every kind of merchandise has been slaughtered for this 15 day sale. This house is certainly giving the people the biggest bargains, that has ever been seen in Kansas City. Many goods are sold way below first cost. Next week will wind up this cut and slashing sale. Read their ad, with prices, on a few articles., in the Advocate. OUIET THOUGHTS Very weighty is the authority of custom. Judge a tree by its fruit, not by its leaves. A little mind courts notoriously to illustrate its puny self. Padlocks and chains are not classed as good securities for loans. Women sometimes talk to attract attention from what they wear. Some girls can sympathize with the rose that is born to blush unseen. Those who are wise in others' behalf are often foolish on their own. The incubator will never succeed in driving the old hen out of business. Even a brave sea captain dreads squalls after his first baby is born. A young eagle is called an eaglet, but a little bull is never called a bullet. It is safer to twist a lion's tail than to call a woman's attention to her first gray hair. Don't add insult to injury by apologizing to a pretty girl after stealing a kiss from her. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 LAWRENCE FORUM AT THE CITIZENS' FORUM, K. C., K.

GET RIGHT AMOUNT OF FUN FROM LIFE Competitive Struggle Only Handicap. Sinclair Lewis is right; a lot of Americans do not get enough fun out of life. The young intellectuals challenge contemporary life and thought because it is regimented and standardized. Davenports are put in front of fireplaces, not because the owners want them there, but because other people have them there. Mr. Babbitt installs a cigar lighter in his car, not because he thinks he gets fun out of a harmless glittering automobile accessory, but because he thinks it gives "class" to his machine. Doing things because other people do them, or doing them insincerely to impress other people, is one good way of leading a dull life. Fun comes by being one's self. The exterior act should reflect the one within. The davenport is in its proper place when it is where you want it as a being living your own life and not giving a fig for artificial mass standards. Golf is a good game if you play it because you like it. But it is a poor pastime when you find it but another way of doing what other people do. You might rather play marbles or hop-scotch, if marbles or hop-scotch better releases your fun instinct. The remedy for much of which the young intellectuals complain lies in questioning ourselves more as to why we do things. Have our opinions come to us ready-made from our parents, or from our environment, or have we thought things out for ourselves? Do we put cigar lighters on our cars for the convenience of cigar smokers or to acquire a sham "class"? Why not do more things, think more things, feel more things, that are really our own? That's one way to have fun. Men want to make things and do things that reflect themselves. They want to create, in the spirit of play, things beautiful or odd or interesting. They get fun out of life to the extent in which the things they make or do reflect what they really are. But as long as the chief business of life lies in coming out better than our brothers in the competitive struggle the brighter business of making life interesting and creative must wait.—Atlantic City Evening Union. The Sun's Eclipse If you lived in the path of the eclipse on January 24 you surely got out your smoked glasses and watched the event, for, unless you travel far, you will not see another in your lifetime. In early days, when only the Indians lived in this country to watch the strange sight, it is probable that they were too frightened to do more than wonder at the strange disappearance of the sun and perhaps to offer sacrifices to the strange gods whom they worshiped and feared. The Oljways, Sir James George Frazer tells us in "The Golden Bough," shot fire-dipped arrows at the sky, hoping to rekindle the sun's light. Others walked about in circles, leaning on staves, in an effort to encourage the sun as he made his round. Finding New Power Although their progress is slow and unspectacular, scientists are making dogged attempts to discover a way to make artificial fuels which will replace the diminishing supplies of coal and oil. The process they seek to perform in the laboratories, according to Popular Mechanics Magazine, is the marvelous one that nature uses every day in storing up energy in leaves and plants by converting waste material into wood, etc., under the action of sunlight. Solution of the riddle is being sought in California by Dr. Herman A Speohr and a staff of research workers. A year's consumption of coal at the present time represents the accumulation of 400 years, he says. THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH Located Cor Eighth and Nebraska. C. E.

(First Published May 15, 1925) THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Sunday, May 17th, a large congregation assembled at Metropolitan Baptist Church, and enjoyed all departments. The Sunday School is wide awake and large and had its usual interesting lesson. At 11 a.m., Pastor Bronson preached well, and praised the success of our week-day Religious School, and by motion the vast congregation extended Principal Matthews and her teacher a standing vote of thanks. B. Y. P. U. had a good meeting at 8 p. m. A visiting preacher preached a very fervent sermon, "Where there are two or three gathered together in My Name, I will be in the midst and some soul to bless." The true Christians gave vent to the Holy Spirit, with fervent "amens." Members of this church enjoy hearing preachers lift up Christ. A preacher has not really preached unless he lifts up Christ, and the plan of salvation in every sermon. The ordinary collection was over $100. Monday night, Group 4, of the B. Y. P. U. had their May-day Party. The basement was decorated till it looked like a park and the young folks played innocent folk games and made quite a deal on refreshments. Many were present. Next Sunday, May 24th, fine sermons will be preached at 11 a. m., and 8 p. m., and at 4 p. m. the N. A. A. C. P., and N. N. I. A. are expected to give a program at the forum, and officers will be elected. Come to Metropolitan church morning and night. All are welcome. The poor fowl is awfully cut up by the time the amateur carver gets through with it. Somehow the sun never shines half so hot on the baseball grounds as on the harvest field. Music is the art of the prophets—the only art that can calm the agitation of the soul. A good many people, who are trying to get into the social swim, should put on life preservers. An egotist is a man who thinks that the world thinks as much of him as he does of himself. A New York man claims to be a female reformer. He manufactures costumes for chorus girls. In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas. Deva Tucker, Plaintiff vs. Willie Tucker, Defendant. To the above named defendant, Willie Tucker: You are hereby notified that you have been sued in the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas, for a divorce by the above named plaintiff on the grounds of extreme cruelty; that unless you answer the allegations and charges as, set out in the petition filed herein on or before the 3rd day of July, 1925, the same will be taken as true; that judgment and decree will be rendered against you divorcing you from the said plaintiff and with such other and further relief as to the court may seem just and proper.

D., 1925. HENRY MEADE, (Seal) Probate Judge. (First publication May 8, 1925.) AMERICAN RIGHTS IN THE FAR NORTH Donald MacMillan makes an interesting suggest' in when he urges the Washington government to assert its claim to lands near the North pole. It will be remembered that under the terms of our treaty with Denmark a few years ago the little Scandinavian country received an undisputed title to the immense area of Greenland, while we took over the territorially insignificant Virgin Islands and paid $25,000,000 into the bargain. Now, says Professor MacMillan, Denmark's foothold in Greenland may prove embarrassing if the United States ever happens to want landing zones for airships in that part of the world, comments the Providence Journal. The Canadian government has asserted its sovereignty over the great northern islands west of Greenland, but we have been singularly indifferent to the potential value of all these white wildernesses. And yet Americans have composed the most distinguished company of Arctic adventurers. Who is so wise as to say that United States territory at the pole may not be worth something to us some day under the new system of globe-circling transportation that will eventually become a commonplace? JAPANESE REPORT SURGICAL TRIUMPH Doctor Komi, director of the Darien general hospital at Darien, Manchuria, has reported the successful result of two operations in which the entire stomachs of two Japanese patients were removed, according to the Kansas City Star. The operations, made more than a year ago, were for cancer, and in both cases the stomachs were removed and the gullets connected directly with the intestines. Both the patients left the hospital in three weeks. One is still alive and the other died recently of a cold in the head. His death was not due to the loss of his stomach. Doctor Komi told the result of the unusual operations to the Japanese national medical conference at Tokyo. Even Despised Rat Can Be Made Useful Engineers running a line of power cables from the Canadian side of Niagara falls to Buffalo were halted temporarily when they found that the steel towers used to carry the wires over the stream already were loaded to capacity. While searching along the shore, workmen found a four-inch gas main extending to the American side of the river, which is nearly half a mile wide and seventy-five feet deep at this point. A large sewer rat was captured, a stout string tied about its body, and it was started through the pipe. Half way across it stopped and refused to go farther—another delay and another problem. Finally one of the engineers conceived the idea of sending a weasel in pursuit of the rat. The scheme worked. Not many seconds later the rat popped out on the American side, the string in tow and the weasel close behind. Heavier cord was pulled into the conduit and then the power cables were dragged through.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. Caught on a Technicality Judge Blank has a six year-old niece of whom he is very proud. The other day she came to him with a serious air and said: "Uncle Robert. If a man had a peacock and it went into another man's yard and laid an egg, who would the egg belong to?" The judge smiled indulgently and replied: "Why, the egg would belong to the man who owned the peacock; but he could be prosecuted for trespassing if he went on the other's property to get it." The child seemed very much interested in the explanation, then she observed with an innocent expression: "Uncle, did it ever occur to you that a peacock couldn't lay an egg?"—Boston Transcript.

Wild Animals Losing”. “| How, Profit Is Found. "Fear of Haman Beings?|.° °"" =,’ Ren ce Can familiarity with people bring contempt from wild. animals? Mem- bers of the predatory animal division of the Department of Agriculture think they should answer this question In the affirmative, especially In the case of that most dreaded of the Northwest's zoology, the cougar. For the first time on record a scourge of cougars Is com- Pelling the attention of the authorities. Forty-three reports of depredations by cougars from widely separated sec- tions has uroused action on the part of hunters, trappers and especially the farmers and stock breeders who have suffered direct losses. It Is believed that auto tourists fre- guenting the woods more and more have caused the roving cougars to lose thelr fear of the human beings, and the turn-tail-and-run instinct when the odor of man Is wafted to their nos- trils. During December at least one human life was taken by cougars. An Oleava man, whose torn and mangled body plainly showed the cut- like attack, died while fighting his opponent with a pocket knife, ‘That particular cougar, known by its huge paws, is being hunted diligently by trained and experienced hunters in the Cascade range. The cougar of the Northwest gets its name from the Latin, meaning “horse pirate.” Colts and crippled cayuses are Its favorite victims. The big caf Js the most elusive, sueaking adroit hider and the sbyest thing in the woods, They are probably more num- erous than bears, but 25 of the latter are seen to one cougar. A bounty of $20 per cougar is offered by the state. but there are few claims. So shy and cunning are these cats that they are sufe in inaccessible crags before men and dogs can overtake them.—Olympla Dispatch to Koston ‘Transcript. Retailing as a Science Merchandising, or, as it Is technical- ly known, distribution—the business of getting commodities of all sorts frony the producer into the haads of the consumer—if not an art, Is being elevuted to the position of a science by commercial organizations through- out the country, The problem ig to be studied by a nationu! conference of manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers to be held under the auspices of the domestic distribution department of the Cham- ber of Commerce of the United States. Chambers of commerce are also con- ducting number of cities retailing or merchandising institutes—with courses comprising such subjects as psy- chology, design, fabrics and technical questions, such as budgeting, advertis- ing and selling. These approach the problem mainly from the point of view of the retailer, especially the small re- taller. The department of domestic distri- bution of the national chamber, In re- sponse to inquiries from many local chambers of commerce, 1s making a study of the subject of merchandising educntion with a view of formulating courses of study for institutes of this character. According to Hoyle As Hiram Jones came Into town he saw a sign in a store advertising a shoe sale. Shoes were hung all around the window in pairs, and in the cen- ter, on a small table, were-laid three silver dollars, with the sign:™Get your shoes.now. Three of a kind takes them.” Hiram needed a pair of shoes; so he entered the store and sald to the clerk: “I gee you're selling shoes ne- cording to poker rules.” “Ye5." “Well, give me two pair.” “What size.” a “Number nine.” When the clerk returned with the shoes Hiram passed over three silver Gellars and started to grab the shoes. hut the clerk stopped him. “Two pair of shoes at $3 Is $6." “Didn't you say you sold shoes on poker rules?” “Yes.” “Well, don’t three of a kind take two pair?” “Sure.” replied the clerk, “but It won't take four nines.”"—Prize Story In Judge. Foreign Husbands Discussing the advisability of an American girl marrying a forelgner, and the superior qualifications of men of the different European countries. Mrs. Alice M. Willlamson makes this comment on the American girl in Hearst's International and Cosmepoll- tan: “In some respects an American girl ig better fitted for an international marriage than girls of other nations because she is’ so quick-witted and adaptable. But she Is handicapped be- cause she has been so spoiled and petted by the men of her own country. ‘No men spoll their women as Amerl- can men do, and very noble must be the nature of a girl who doesn’t take advantage of their kindness.” Sale Recalls Heavy Bet Adlington hall, a famous beauty spot of industrial Lancashire, Eng., which recently was sold by the corporation to’a local business man, was the scene of an amazing wager of 100 years ago. It is on record that a cock fight took place between two birds belonging to the lord of the manor and the then earl of Derby, the stakes being all the lacal coal mines under the estate that could te seen from the dining-room window at the hall. : The Adlington family, which form- erly owned the estate, was one of the most ancient in the country. How, Profit Ig Found. i e in Ballyine a Bully }' Fighting 1s a' brutal business. There js no denying’it, A man in a fight is very busy. He must meditate concern- a methods. He must inflict consid- erable punishment and do it premptly, -, Because fighting is brutei and tends 0 disarrange the face and burden | emergency wards already taxed to their capacity, It should be avoided when convenlent, argues a writer in the Kansas City Star. One way to avoid It fs not to seem too eager to avold it. Men who are afraid to fight have trouble thrust upon them. Of those who are afraid very few are craven by reason of wounds; excessive caution Is caused by want of experience. Ignorance is the father of fear. A boy of tender years, being a primi- tive, has frequent occasion to do bat- tle. If parental authority denies him the privilege of gaining experience in this way he will bear no scars; but he will develop into a man afrald of a fight. If he is privileged to fight when the need is urgent he may not be so fortunate as to triumph; but even if he Is whipped he will profit. He will learn that a whipping {s the lesser of two evils and that to receive bruises Is less painful than to be a coward. If he Is whipped he can regain his self- respect, but he never will be able wholly to forgive himself if he runs. It he ts denfed experience of battle manhood will find him handicapped. Before a blustering bully he will talk small and surrender his privileges and rights, But if he has fought often and there- fore feels no dread of combat he will get to his feet in preparation for bat- tle and before the cold lght in his eyes the bully will become calm and placid. The bully may have an uncontrollable temper, but tempers of this kind usual- | ly function best when the odds are on . their side. ‘They peter out quickly in_ the fa¢e of an adversary who has a knockout In both hands and means business. Kiln-Dried Spanish Cedar +here ig Do reason why Spanish cedar could not be kiln-dried success- fully, though It is more difficult to dry thick slaba than it ia inch boards. The trouble Is to avold “case-harden- ing’—1, e., drying the surface before the molsture has been driven from the heart, which causes it later to check and crack very badly as the inside moisture breaks its way out, says a contributor to Adventure Magazine. The slabs would have to be put in the kiln and subjected to steam until all the moisture was vaporized; then the steam must be gradually replaced by hot, dry air. But it seems to me there would be Bo special object in placing the wood ‘on the market in slabs rather than In squared logs. Nearly all Spanish cedar Is utilized for cigar boxes, etc., in very thin boards, which are made by the sawn-veneer process, where the thin sheets are cut by extremely thin-gauge circular saws. Some is produced by slicing from a thick filtch which has been steamed. In either case the manufacturers want a thick filtch or square, so as to avoid the delays of mounting and demonnt- ing from the carriage. There Is also less waste from using thick slabs than from thinner ones. “Super-Plates” Needed The need for photographic plates and films of a quality higher even than their present high standard was emphasized at the third Pan-Amerl- can scientific congress by Dr, C. D. Perrine, of the Argentine Natfonal ob- servatory at Cordoba. As applied to the special problems of astronomy, plates of a higher speed than those now available would make existing telescopes the equivalent of Instru- ments of twice their size and many times their cost, because it would in- crease their light-gathering power. He also pointed out the need for the elim- ination of “graininess” in photographic negatives designed for technical work of extreme accuracy. He advocated special research for the purpose of producing such photographie “super- plates.” Sight as a Handicap | Amos Cady. of Bolivar, Mo., conld play six instruments simuituneousiy while he was blind. but now that he has regained his sight can only play one. He was blind 22 years. He played a harmonica held to his mouth with a yoke, a banjo with his hands, a bass drum beaten with his elbow, cym- bals struck with his knees, a triangle and eight Swiss bells rung by his feet. His Inability to play more than one Instrument now Is explained by the fact that he cannot concentrate suff- clently to play six because the acute fensitiveness of touch and feeling that comes with blindness left when his sight was restored. — Indianapolis News, Earn While They Serve While serving a two years’ sentence at Atlanta, Ga. a prisoner Invented a portable ice-making machine which is now being manufactured.
