KANSAS Vol. XII TWELVE THOUSAND KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS OF UNIFORM RANK IN CAMP EIGHT DAYS AT LOUISVILLE $10,000 Awarded In Cash Prizes — $2,000 in Silk Banners Given To Companies The Supreme Session and Supreme Encampment of the Knights of Pythias held in Louisville for eight days, August 15th to the 22 inclusive was one of the largest in attendance that this order has seen, probably in its many years of biennial sessions. It was estimated that 25,000 visitors were in the city for the eight days. Every state in the union and Canada were represented. By actual registration at Camp J. M. Lawrence, at the state fair ground, 12,000 uniform men reported to their chieftain Major Robert Jackson. It was a large white city like a house on a hill and was seen during the week by 10,000 people. The camp was an ideal one, with every convenience and was kept as sanitary as a hope chest. Eight of the best bands in the country were in camp, one Chicago band having 72 pieces. Two Parades During the week, as usual, two mammoth parades were made down town. Tuesday night the Madigra festival was made with more than 8,000 in line, carrying red and green lighted torches. Thursday at 10:30 a.m., 12,000 in full dress marched in twelve divisions, led by that many bands. Major Jackson and his twenty-five staff members, mounted, led the parade with every other division being led by a commanding officer with his staff, mounted. The line of march on the down town streets were given the full right of way and all traffic including street cars were stopped, which took about 90 minutes to pass a certain point. Places were thrown open in many white business places for Pythians that had never been opened to colored people before. The treatment of all and any place was equal to many of our so-called free states. The next biennial session and encampment will be held in Chicago, 1927. The million dollar Pythian Temple that is under erection, will be finished by that time and a great dedication will take place during the week.

All true people of all races sympathize deeply in the loss of the greatest farmer of the race. THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER OUR OWN NORTHERN "MECCAS" (Columbian Press Bureau) Washington, Aug. 25.—Characterizing that section of New York City, known as Harlem, as "The World's Largest Negro City" the "Negro's World Capital," the "Negro Zion," and as the "Mecca for all Negroes who seek opportunity with a capital O." a versatile writer, Mr. Chester T Crowell, present a very fair and interesting sociological story in a recent issue of "The Saturday Evening Post" concerning that much talked of community or city within a city. A careful analysis of the facts, however, seem to indicate that Harlem is a Mecca only for colored people in the Atlantic seaboard states, the West Indies and in our outlying possessions. People from these places, in addition to the native New Yorkers, constitute 92 per cent of the colored population in the "Negro's Zion." Out in the great Middle West, on the shore of Lake Michigan, is another "Mecca" but not a Zion, including Alabama, which is not on the Atlantic seaboard, the states that have contributed more than 50 per cent to the colored population of Chicago are located in the Mississippi Valley and west of Pennsylvania in the North and Georgia in the South. Chicago is called our "Industrial Mecca," and because our group there supports two large banks with two millions on deposit, several successful life insurance companies, our biggest newspaper plant and numerous other thriving business enterprises, the Chicago colored citizens make the claim that they lead all other so-called "Meccas" in productive industry, in business and in finance. In fact, they boldly assert that the dwellers in Harlem, "The World's Largest Negro City" do not get the proper mileage out of their gas, and that a "Mecca" without a banking institution or a judge, is a joke. Stolen "You ought to see Russell take the hurdles." "Why, who told you he took them?" Antifog Device The fogging of show windows, if they are of the boxed-in type, may be prevented by placing a flat glass or porcelain dish containing calcium chloride in the window. This chemical substance quickly absorbs moisture from the air with the result that the moisture is prevented from congealing against the outside glass, says Popular Science. The contents of the dishes must be renewed every two or three days, and the moist calcium chloride thoroughly dried, after which it may be used again. Had All Qualifications An application for a position as teacher in Butte county, South Dakota, has been received from a woman in Wyoming. In part, the application says: "I will introduce myself as an old-fashioned old maid school teacher. I can ride horseback, am not afraid of rats, mice or rattlesnakes. Will be pleased to receive a position in the wildcat section of your country. I do not smoke cigarettes, use profane language nor drink booze. Am so homely that the men stay clear away from me." Static Mystery Fading A. G. Simpson of the United States forest service at Stabler, Wash., believes that the presence of static as a radio hindrance may be put to good use in locating areas of low humidity. He maintains extremely dry atmospheric conditions are indicated by an excess of static, and with increasing humidity static decreases and fades out in the course of continued rains. Trail 100 Years Old The Santa Fe trail will be one hundred years old this year. The Council oak at Council Grove, Kan., has taken on 100 rings since the day in 1825 that the white men and Indians met there to barter for a new trade route to Spanish New Mexico. The Santa Fe trail was the outgrowth. A centenary program is being arranged at Council Grove. Odd Charge New Jersey state police arrested four residents of Hammonton on a charge of refusing to aid in fighting a forest fire which threatened the destruction of that town. A state law compels a resident to fight a forest fire if his services are needed. Patriotic Maharaiah Among the gifts during the war by the maharajah of Gwallor, who died recently in Paris, were forty ambulances and a fleet of cars to England and three months' supply of cigarettes for all Indian troops in France.

ADVOCATE COOPERATION IN KENTUCKY YIELDS COLORED HOSPITAL (Columbian Press Bureau) Washington, Aug. 25.—Interracial cooperation in the Blue Grass State is yielding splendid returns, and aside from the recent slight of Democratic Governor Fields, who refused to address the K. of P. Convention, the Kentucky colored people, in cooperation with public-spirited whites, are receiving their just dues in the States civic advancement. According to authentic reports a colored hospital is soon to be erected in Louisville, where race physicians, surgeons and nurses will be given the chance to practice their professions. Mrs. Alvin T. Hart vice chairman of the Republican national committee, and Senator Fred M. Sackett and Richard P. Ernst are said to be deeply interested in giving the colored people of Louisville a fine institution of healing, and it is believed that earnest and sincere citizens throughout the city will pull together in this laudable project. Republican leaders of both races have been working together in close formation in making the city an ideal place to live in, and this new project caps the climax of welfare work in behalf of the race. The local Urban League, under the direction of the efficient J. M. Raglan, attorney at law, is deserving of much credit for building up a strong bond of understanding between the races; and the feeling of equanimity which prevails at Louisville can be traced all over the state. The exact fund which is to be allotted to the contemplated hospital has not been ascertained, but the building will be modernly equipped and will take its place on the city staff of regularly chartered institutions. Dublin Dock Extension Alexandra dock at Dublin is to be extended by 150 feet, with a depth of 35 feet to low water. The chairman of the harbor board said that it was very important that the public should know that there was accommodation in the port of Dublin for vessels of the largest-draught. The sooner the work was completed the better.—Family Herald. Glove Came Back A traveling man told John Hartigan of Rochester, N. H., of a friend whom Hartigan had not met for 20 years, when they were ball players together. "Tell him to return my glove when you see him again," said Hartigan. The following week a parcel arrived and Hartigan found it contained the glove, which he missed after a game 20 years ago. Reckless Curiosity "Man! Man! Yoah cu'osity's gonna git you into trouble yit."—Memphis Journal. Bachelor Clerk—Does your wife pick all your suits for you? Married Clerk—No, she only picks the pockets.—Good Hardware. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 STREET PARADE The street parade took place Wednesday, at 2 p. m., forming at the Northeast Junior high school and was led by eight mounted colored policemen of the city, followed by Shriners band of the local temple, Kansas City patrol followed, then came the National Grand Officers of both houses in decorated cars. Omaha patrol came next with the Nobles in their full dress garb, making a beautiful line of clean cut looking men before thousands of eyes looking on from both sides of the streets along the entire line of march. At the close of the parade they retired to Memorial hall, corner of Seventh street and Grandview blvd., where the competitive drills were held. Wednesday night at Memorial hall the full dress ball took place and on Thursday night a banquet and dance was held at this same hall. Boston gets the 1926 session without any opposition. HERE IS TO OLD KENTUCKY Here is to old Kentucky, The state where I was born. Where the corn grows full of kernels And the colonel full of booze. I was born in old Kentucky, Where you never have the blues. Where the horses, they are pretty And the women they are to. You go out in the morning To give your health a chance, You will come back at noon time, With bullets in your pants. Where the owls are afraid to holler, The birds don't dare to sing, For its Hell in old Kentucky, They will kill you on the wing. Where the blood it flows like water, Bullets fall like hail Every overcoat's got a pocket, Every old coat got a tail. We live in old Kentucky, We live fast as we can, We always hang the jury. But never hang a man. —Compliments to my old Kentucky home by L. D. Hughes, No. 8 engine company L. F. D., Louisville, Ky. ONLY TWO CLASSES IN PHILIPPINES Malays as they are, no caste exists among the Fillipinos. They show but two distinct classes—the cacique, or moneyed class, and the tao, or peasant class, says Katherine Mayo, in a book on the Philippines. The cacique is the class from which all politicians come. The tao is bossed, and has in practice no voice whatever in governmental or political affairs. The cacique is a mestizo, as the Spanish call him—a hybrid. He is Malay compound with the Spanish or Chinese. The Igorots and Moros alike bitterly resent being herded under the term "Fillipino." The main population of the Philippines falls of itself into three perfectly main divisions—the mountain people of the island of Luzon, comprising several large and several smaller absolutely distinct peoples commonly but inaccurately classed under the general term as "Igorots"; Mohammedans, or Moros, of the southern islands; and the Christian Fillipinos. The first and second of these are Malayan, and of the overwhelming majority of the last the same is true. Number 2 SHRINERS CLOSE THEIR TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL SESSION ON THURSDAY NIGHT WITH ELABORATE ENTERTAINMENT Gov. Ben S. Paulen Welcomes Shriners to Sunflower State and Mayor W. W. Gordon to City BIG STREET PARADE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON Koran Temple No. 33 Furnishes Visitors Fine Entertainment. BOSTON GETS 1926 SESSION While the attendance of the National meeting of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, was not as large as was expected; the opening ceremonies on Tuesday morning at North East High school, was one of the highest class programs that has been witnessed in Kansas City for many a day. The packed auditorium of visitors and citizens were filled from the welcome addresses that were delivered. Addresses of welcome included speeches by Gov. Ben S. Paulen and Mayor Gordon. Governor Paulen told the delegates that as long as he was governor he would endeavor to give all the people an unbiased administration. The mayor pointed out the city stood ready to help its cititzenship; regardless of color. He pointed to the Northeast school as one example of the city's willingness to help give its colored folks an education equal to that of other students. Others Extend Greetings. Mayor Gordon said he had instructed the police department not to molest the visiting Shriners in their celebration. "I feel that those who are inspired by the great teachings of Masonry are capable of conducting themselves as good citizens," he declared. Other persons on the program who extended welcome to the 6,000 visitors were Prof. J. P. King, principal of Northeast high school, who represented Koran temple No. 33; the Bishop W. T. Vernon on behalf of the citizenship of the city, and Dr. J. G. N. Soanes, grand master for Kansas. The Bishop Vernon was introduced as the "leader of his race." The council was called to order by Dr. L. H. Anthony. After the singing of "America" the Rev. C. E. Brooks, pastor of the First A. M. E. church, led in prayer. C. H. M. Collins, master of ceremonies was introduced and received enthusiastically. Following the addresses by Doctor Soanes, a response was made by Prof. W. G. Pearson of Durham, N. C. Caesar R. Blake, imperial potentate, of Charlotte, N. C., and Mrs. U. Hines imperial grand commandress, of St. Louis, were introduced and gave short addresses. Talks by some of the officers of the Grand Court Daughters of Isis, ended the morning program. The first business session opened on Tuesday, at 2 p. m., in the auditorium of Northeast Junior high school and the Daughters of Isis met at the same hour in the auditorium of Walnut boulevard. Baptist church just across the street. Morning and afternoon sessions were held each day. Caesar R. Blake, imperial potentate, of Charlotte, N. C., presided over the sessions at Northeast Junior high school and Mrs. U. Hines of St. Louis, Mo., over the court at Walnut boulevard, Baptist church. VISITING SHRINERS NOTES The visiting Shriners and Daughters of Isis were taken in autos Thursday afternoon on sight seeing trips, through the industrial district and the two Kansas Citys; also numbers motored to Leavenworth, where they visited the fort, soldiers home and federal prison.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. EDITORIAL NOTE The editor has just received a copy of a new hymn book, entitled "Helpful Hymns," and containing a collection of hymns suitable for all religious service. This announcement should be of interest to the colored people of Greater Kansas City, because the compiler, author, and publisher is one of our estimable citizens. It is of special interest to African Methodists, because the publisher of this book is none other than our own Dr. R. A. Adams, of 634 Franklin avenue, Kansas City, Kansas. By means of his sermons, his lectures and his books, Dr. Adams has influenced and helped many lives, but it has not been generally known that he was writing hymns and music. However, this book contains quite a number of hymns of his own composition, words and music. At a glance the ones which would most quickly appeal to you are, "Walking With the Lord," "Walking in the King's Highway," "Kept By the-Power" and "Because He Loved Me So." But every one has a special message and every one is both inspiring and helpful. It is most sincerely hoped that this effort shall receive the encouragement it deserves; that the people will receive the help to be gotten from the singing of these hymns; and that Dr. Adams shall be able to continue his work in this line and thus assist in supplying Negro churches with hymn books by Negroes.

Childish Actors Barred Children under three years of age will not be permitted to appear in moving-picture films in Germany if a bill introduced in the reichstag becomes a law. The bill points out that the nervous and physical strain of facing the bright lights of movie studios is injurious to infants. The bill further provides that children between three and twelve years may not appear in films except by permit of police and school authorities. Women in High Positions The government in France has recently decided that women shall be eligible for the highest positions in the postal and telegraph service in that country.

D., 1925. I. F. Bradley, Jr., Att'y for Adm'rix (First Published Aug. 28, 1925) THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE "If there is anything at all to this evolution business," remarked a tall, angular gentleman who was emerging from the baseball park, according to the Detroit News, "I think nature ought to make a few improvements on the human race to meet our changing conditions. A few years ago men had to walk about all the time, what with circus and lodge parades and things like that. Long legs were necessary, and I was the envy of all the neighborhood, for I could see over most people's heads. But now all that has changed. The world has stopped standing up and is sitting down. My long legs are an inconvenience at ball games, shows, in my fluvier, and on street cars. They always have to be doubled up to keep them out of the way; then they become gramped and sore. Nature should help future generations by developing them downward—as far as legs are concerned, at least." AUSTRALIANS CLAIM HAWAIIAN ANCESTRY Many of the Maoris of Australia consider that their race had its origin in Hawaii centuries ago, it has been revealed by Ratina Jakoba, a prominent Maori. He is at Honolulu with a group of Mormon church workers from Australia to visit the famous Mormon temple at Lale, Oahu. Jakoba said that he had traced his ancestry back to a chleftain named Hema, who ruled the island of Hawaii. After a devastating war in which Hema was defeated badly and forced to flee he and a few companions set sail for the south in huge war canoes. Maori legends have it that they landed in New Zealand and lived there for several years. Later Hema returned to Hawaii, where the residents worshiped Io as their supreme being. Hema returned to New Zealand and many people accompanied him. He also took the image of Io. Woman Made Long Hike to Appear in Lawsuit It is over 80 miles from Southampton to London, but Mrs. Catherine Foyle, sixty-four years old, walked the whole distance, accompanied by her little dog. in order to defend herself in the law courts recently, says the London Graphic. In the chancery division she appeared, with a bottle of lemonade powder firmly clenched in her hand, to defend a motion to restrain her from selling goods and soft drinks from a stall in the New forest and from lighting a fire without permission. Other people were following her example in the forest, it was stated, and were creating a nuisance. "We do not want to be hard on her," said Mr. Pollock, for the crown, "but we want an order that we can show to everybody." The order was granted, and it was stated that the crown would pay Mrs. Foyle's fure back, as well as that of the dog. Appropriate Treatment "I met a—p'tu—road hog as I was driving over this-a-way," in the crossroads store stated old man Sockery of Slippery Slap. "Have any trouble with him?" asked the proprietor of the store. "Nope—not to say trouble. I just took a couple of p'tu—shots at his front tires, and told him if he didn't get out of the way quicker'n a bat out o' hell I'd take a few p'tu—shots at him and passed on, leaving him wallerin' in the dust, as it were."—Kansas City Star. English Universal Tongue Believing that the English language is more widely used in the commercial world than any other, the board of directors of a large automobile firm in France has required all of its employees to begin studying English. A professor in English is now attached to the factory and gives daily lessons to employees. Patronize Our Advertisers They are all boosters and deserve your business. DR.

What's built upon esteem can never decay. All the world practices the art of acting. Mirth prolongs life, and causes health. Prejudice roosts on a perch from which facts are barred. Don't cast pearls before swine. They are not fattening. Life's a reckoning we cannot make twice over.—George Elliot. Any man who marries for sympathy will need all he gets. Brevity may be either the soul of wit or the poverty thereof. On the program of human events women are the consolation race. You may find hens in a hennery, but there are no bats in a battery. The girl who marries a millionaire has a million reasons for so doing. The more explaining a man has to do the less humanity believes in him. Some men owe their success to acting contrary to the advice of their friends. It's not what the baseball player does but what the umpire says that counts. Among the fresh things to be found on a farm in the summer are the city boarders. The style of beauty that a man prefers generally depends upon the girl he is with. A man in love is always blind until he finds it necessary to sew on his own buttons. Runs and Flies Both Capable of flying in the air or running on the ground, an airplane-automobile recently was demonstrated in France. It differs from ordinary planes because it has folding wings and four wheels. A propeller shaft runs from the fuselage to a transmission which turns the rubber-tired front wheels with their brakes and steering mechanism. The power to drive the plane on land is furnished by a small auxiliary engine. Its conversion into an "auto" takes less than half an hour.-Popular Mechanics Magazine. Rattlers Annoy Golfers Rattlesnakes, tasking in the sunlight on the Riverside university golf course, have made it advisable for golfers to carry permanganate of potash along with clubs and balls, says the Los Angeles Times. Mashles are being put to new use by professors at the citrus experiment station of the University of California—they make effective weapons against the reptiles. Within recent days four rattlesnakes have been killed on the university course, which is at the base of Box Springs mountain. Cure for Insomnia An inventor of Macclesfield, England, is said to have perfected a machine that will cure Insomnia. The machine is placed alongside of the bed and emits light rays of 12 different colors flashing at prearranged periods. The effect of this combination of colors and periodicity is intended to be soothing and to induce sleep. The color flashes at such regular intervals have a peculiar effect upon the retina, it is said. The inventor maintains he has cured several stubborn cases of sleeplessness in ten to fifteen minutes. Terrier Protects Robin Unusual playmates are to be found at the home of Silas Oberdorf, Danville, Pa., where a robin, protected when it fell out of its nest when it was young, has become the almost inseparable companion of a terrier. Frequently the robin may be seen riding about on the dog's back and the terrier protects the bird from other dogs and from cats. Slower Than That Rum—This sure is a slow town. Drum—I'll tell the world it is. It's so slow that they arrested a mallman and thought he was a confederate soldier. Must Have It "I suppose your wife always wants the last word."

KANSAS CITY, KANSAS SHERMAN PREPARED FOR ANY EMERGENCY Judge Gary at a banquet was praising an efficient overseer. "The man's surprising efficiency," he said, "reminds me of Sherman on his march to the sea. The way Sherman could repair railroads! The Confederate cavalry hovering in his rear would tear up a mile of track or burn a bridge, and an hour or so later they would hear one of Sherman's trains go whistling by. This naturally disgusted them. "In a Confederate conference one day an engineer proposed that they try blowing up some tunnels. But another engineer gave a sour laugh and said: "No use, boys, Sherman's prepared for that. He carries duplicate tunnels with him. Better save our powder."—Detroit Free Press. Food Combinations It Is Wisdom to Avoid The recent death of Chin Hong, a Chinese laundryman of Baltimore, after a luncheon consisting of cherry pie and milk, calls attention strongly to the fact that certain food combinations may be highly dangerous, though the component parts are harmless enough individually. Chin Hong's death is not attributed to indigestion but to bloodletting practiced by Chinese doctors, but his luncheon made him seriously ill. Cherry pie and milk make a combination dangerous to Americans as well as Orientals, though a few persons are able to assimilate them successfully. A similarly dangerous dietary grouping is that of bananas and alcoholic liquors, especially if the bananas are not fully ripe. It is best, in any event, to avoid either of these food combinations at any time of the year. Simple Life for Them Tom and Mary had lived in a hotel for so long, they were both ready to lead a simple, quiet life. One evening, after donning a sleeveless dress, short coat and black tie, the two started down to the dining room for the usual evening meal. Mary looked at Tom and sheepishly said: "Honey, I'm ready to put on an old-fashioned house dress and bake biscuits." "And I'm ready to don overalls and eat them," came Tom's reply. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE FACTS AND FANCIES All women believe in sport for sport clothes' sake. It saves no money to laugh at other people's expense. Even an idea hesitates to strike a man when he is down. So long as he's on the level a man isn't apt to go down hill. The smaller the hole a man gets into. the louder he howls. The pride that goeth before a fall taketh a tumble to itself. Some girls wear glasses and some are naturally good lookers. Money talks, and when we give it to charity it positively yells. Many a man spends most of his life wishing he had it to do over again. Should a man out of a job take any job offered? Wisdom sometimes says no. Nothing helps a man more than knowing that some one has faith in him. It is often easier to make a statement in good faith than it is to get it accepted. People probably get the blues because they fall to look at things in the right light. Don't forget that you injure your own character when you attack that of another. The ossified man in the museum leads a hard life, but the fat lady makes the most of it. Many a man who has the sand to propose to a girl lacks the necessary rocks to get married on. Mixup That Calls for Rufina Aldales, sixteen years old, and Candido Binas, seventeen, recently approached the justice of the peace of Albay to be married, says the Manila Times. The ceremony was about to start when opposition arose from an entirely unexpected quarter. Patriclo Miraflor, thirty-seven years old, asserted that he had a prior right to the girl's hand, her father being indebted to him in the sum of 75 pesos. The father admitted the debt and declared that he was willing to settle it. He therefore proposed that Patriclo take his other daughter, Rufinla's elder sister, whom Patriclo was willing enough to accept. Then another difficulty arose. The elder sister who was to be traded refused her father's wishes on the ground that she had been previously engaged to marry a Chinese merchant. The father is still trying to persuade his elder daughter to break her engagement with the Chinese fiance in order to settle his debt with Patricio And Patricio is still demanding the hand of either of the two daughters of his debtor. Rufinia and her fiance, Candido, are still unmarried. Flowers Dislike Jazz The cyclamen and the carnation are among the flowers most susceptible to the influence of music. Some which were used in floral decorations close to a stand where the band was playing jazz were found, after a few hours, to have all turned their faces away from the music. They were turned around facing the band, but soon began leaning away again. It is believed that the musical vibrations affect the fibers of the plants.—Pittsburgh Chronicle. Scouts and a Dog In Portland, Ore., lived an old lady with no companion but a dog, and no income but what she could make from her sewing. Two patrols discovered her, and for nearly a year the boys supplied their new friend with groceries, chopped up wooden store boxes to keep her fuel buckets filled and generally looked after her needs. Recently the little old lady died, and, according to report, her guardian sorely missed her. Back to Earth Dumb—At least for once in my life I was glad to be down and out. Dora—When was that?

Variety "Well, we have three different names for the meals."—South Wales Echo. TIMELY TRIFLES Experience either brings old age or is brought by it. Many so-called singers' high notes wouldn't bear indorsing. Fools try to convince a woman but wise men persuade her. Trouble is always more definite and tangible than happiness. It takes two to make a bargain, but only one of them gets it. Gabriel himself will play the last trump in the game of life. An old bachelor resembles a pair of scissors with only one blade. The street vender often makes a howling success of his calling. Love levels all things—with the possible exception of the head. No jeweler has ever been able to improve on the setting of the sun. Paradoxical as it sounds, a blind man may be seen and yet be out of sight. Cultivate strength. Many a man's good intentions are too big for him to carry out. Some men would rather step on other people's toes than stand on their own merits. Man likes to hug a delusion, especially if it comes in the form of a pretty woman. The speculator who gets a straight tip often finds that there is something crooked about it. In old times people multiplied on the face of the earth. Now they use adding machines. It must make a fellow seem pretty small to feel as though he had been drawn through a knothole. The cynical bachelor observes that a man who has never married has no excuse for being a pessimist. Admirers of Dickens True to His Memory Hall Caine, at a Dickens memorial service, said that after 55 years the novelist is more alive than ever. At this meeting the services of Bertram Matz, founder of the Dickens fellowship, were eulogized. Matz edited a Dickens magazine, published Dickens in many editions and preached him at every turn, answering letters of inquiry from enthusiasts in all parts of the world. Not long ago in Philadelphia a local "fan" led a stranger up to a picture crowded with characters from the novels. Pointing out an obscure scrawl in a corner, he said: "I have identified every other likeness—please tell me who this is." Such is the true Dickens devotee. To him Copperfield and Micawber, Pickwick and Salrey Gamp and Oliver Twist are more real than the flesh-and-blood of the street today. Why He Worried Sir Bertrnm Hayes, skipper of the Majestic, who has retired from the sea after 44 years of seafaring, said on his last visit to New York: "I hope I am not going to be like the retired business man whose wife said to him on the first day of his retirement: "'Father, what's the matter? You look worried.' "'Well, no wonder I'm worried,' said he. 'I've never before had nothing to worry about.'" Squirrel Had Gumption At Epping, N. H., a teacher and her pupils noted an interesting bit of natural history last spring. A squirrel was seen playing in a sugar maple near the schoolhouse, and a closer inspection revealed the fact that he had gnawed the underside of a limb and, hanging on by his four feet, was sucking the sap that oozed out. He repeated this performance several times. Farewell to Fog? Experiments have been carried out by United States aviators in the dispersal of fog by discharging showers of electrified sand. It is reported that the sand showers had the effect of causing a series of small clouds to precipitate as rain, thus breaking up the heavier cloud masses.
