KILLED IN AUTO CRASH --- KANSAS MISS GRACE HOWARD IS KILLED, HER MOTHER SERIOUSLY HURT AND JESSE GEE SUFFERING FROM INTERNAL INJURIES MISS GRACE HOWARD IS KILLED, HER MOTHER SERIOUSLY HURT AND JESSE GEE SUFFERING FROM INTERNAL INJURIES Jessie Gee's error, the fatal mistake of taking the left drive instead of the right, was partially the cause of a head-on collision Sunday, March 7, between Miss Grace Howard's Hudson Coach, driven by Jessie Gee, age 39 years, 1907 East Ninth and a Stearns-Knight driven by Paul Day, age 16 years, 5914 Brookside Boulevard. Vol. X11 KILL MISS GRACE HOWARD MOTHER SERIOUSLY GEE SUFFERING F Jessie Gee's error, the fatal instead of the right, was partial Sunday, March 7, between Miss driven by Jessie Gee, age 39 year Knight driven by Paul Day, age yard. Both machines were wrecked. The accident occurred on Meyer boulevard and Paseo. There are two drives, the right leading to Swope's, the other, the one used by cars coming from the park. According to Gee's statement he become confused. He told the writer that he pulled out from behind a car that was in front of him and intended to pass. Seeing a chance to pass he moved forward, thinking the road in front of him was still one and the same drive. Realizing he was on the wrong road and before he could get out the Stearns-Knight came bearing down on him. It happened so quickly, he said, he remembered nothing until he regained consciousness at the city hospital. Friends Shocked Sunday evening, March 7, greater Kansas City was shocked by the news of a head-on collision at Meyer Boulevard and Paseo between Miss Howard's prize Hudson coach and a Stearns-Knight Sedan, which caused injuries that resulted in the death of Miss Howard, serious injuries to her mother, Mrs. Ella Howard, internal injuries and bruises to Jessie Gee, the driver. Gee's wife and children, the smallest 3 weeks old, received cuts and minor injuries. Miss Maude Sandell, 5914 Brookside boulevard, has a fractured arm and several cuts. Riding in Front Seat Miss Howard was riding in the front seat with Jessie Gee during the sudden impact of the collision threw Miss Howard forward, her head striking the windshield, no doubt the cause of her neck and right collar bone being broken. The right front of the body of the car was cavcd in causing her ribs and body to be crushed. There is a perfect circular hole in the right side of the windshield which could have been caused by Miss Howard's head striking the windshield as she pitched forward from her seat in the car. Miss Howard died in an ambulance on the way to the city hospital. Won Prize Car. Miss Howard was the winning contestant in the subscription campaign of the Kansas City Advocate. The first prize, a Hudson Coach, was awarded her February 20. Last Scen by Friends. Miss Howard, her mother and friends were seen on the streets of her home town Sunday, happy in the thought that she could share her pleasure with her mother with her new gift. Sometime after 4 o'clock she and her party crossed the intercity viaduct for a ride on the boulevards of Kansas City, Mo. Federal Arrangements Not Completed Funeral Arrangements Not Completed Funeral arrangements are awaiting the arrival of her sister, Mrs. Etta Mae Cockrell, Los Angeles, and her brother, Ernest, of Beaumont, Texas. Upon their arrival date of the funeral will be announced. THE COST OF WRONG EATING The Manchester Guardian, England, reports a speech of Lord Oxford at a luncheon given to the founders of the New Health Society in which he said that it was estimated that something like 23 million weeks and $250,000,000 in wages were annually lost in England to registered workers alone because of diseases, no small part of which were due to artificial methods of life, and in particular to improper food. He estimated that from 80 to 90 per cent of the most disabling forms of illness was due not to malnutrition, but to wrong feeding. "We eat," he said, "too much meat and our children drink too little milk."

Silas Harris, clerk at the Gateway postoffice, died at the Wheatley-Provident Hospital of pneumonia at the age of 62. Mr. Harris was born near Independence, Mo., and got his education within the state. On reaching manhood Mr. Harris taught schol in rural Missouri and lastly in Kansas City. He was for a number of years Regent of Lincoln Institute. When the late Selden P. Spencer took his seat as Senator, he immediately appointed Mr. Harris his clerk. Last year he was appointed clerk at the Gateway Station postoffice in Kansas City, Mo. In 1883 he was united in matrimony to Miss Dora Powell and they lived happily until her death November 1, 1925. Mr. Harris was a staunch republican of the deepest dye. He was an intense lover of the Negro, not that he liked white people less, but he loved Negrees more and reveled in the fact that h was one. He regarded a democrat that favored Negrees by far more than a lily-white republican. He early took a prominent part in Kansas City politics and gained the name of being the most astute politician in the state. His joy was in helping others to office. No little responsibility is due him that Dr. Crossland became Minister to Liberia and Surgeon at the Tuskegee Hospital, and that Bishop W. T. Vernon became Registrar of the Treasury. Mr. Harris is survived by his only son, John, 40 years of age, a police chauffeur, living at 1611 Tracy and two grandchildren, Josephine Harris, age 19 and Jessie May Harris, age 17. The funeral services will be at Ebenezer A. M. E. church, 16th and Lydia, Kansas City, Mo., Firday, March 12, at 1 p. m. P-T.

March 12, 1926 --- RESIGUATION REJECTED As pastor of First Baptist Church of this city, and since I have been informed that the deacons of the First Baptist Church have in the office of the Kansas City Call a statement embodying their reasons for advising me to tender my resignation as pastor, which reasons were presented to the church Friday, March 5th at a regular monthly business meeting, and were rejected by a decisive vote of the church as being insufficient grounds for the church to accept the pastor's resignation. I can see no reason, that after the church rejected their reasons they gave for advising my resignation and sustained me as pastor by a majority vote, for their appeal to the public press, which action is contrary to Baptist principles, and could serve no other purpose than for self gratification in trying to publicly defame the good name and the character of one who has successfully led them for nineteen years at a great sacrifice. I am REV. W. A. BOWREN, Pastor. SCHOOL PRESENTS THE FILM ROMOLA. The Sunner high school Parent-Teacher Association is presenting the picture "Romola", which is taken from George Eliot's novel by that name, at the Princess Theatre, Third street and Parallel avenue, April 1, one night only.

EXECUTIVIL BOARD OF STATE FEDERATION MEETS A very interesting meeting of the Executive Board of the Kansas State Federation of P. T. A. was held in Kansas City, Kansas, Thursday morning, March 11th. Much important business was transacted relative to the State meeting which convenes here the 22nd and 23rd of April. HOLD UP! One Arrest by Officer Dorsey George Albert Freeman, 416 State avenue delivery boy for the Home drug Store, was held up Sunday night about 9 p. m. A phone call came to the drug store Sunday evening, February 28, near 9 o'clock to bring a quart of cream and change for $5.00 to a fictitious address in the neighborhood of Fourth and Walker. The delivery boy was not bothered on his first trip and returned to the store. Evidently things did not look good for the highwaymen and they called a second time to bring cream to Fourth and Walker. Again the delivery boy started with the ice cream and change to Fourth and Walker. On his way back he was held up by two men, taking the money and cream. Freeman did not know the men but gave Officer Dorsey a good description of one of the men. Tuesday morning Officer Dorsey arrested Theodore Stewart, aged 25 years, and Wednesday morning about 2:30 a. m. brought in John Sexton, aged 26 years, 433 Freeman avenue, as an accomplice of Stewart. When brought to trial Stewart pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 1 to 5 years. Sexton is in jail awaiting trial. Officer Dorsey is to be commended for his quick arrest in this case. The officer lives at 818 New Jersey and has been on the force for over nine years. Mrs. Leoni B. Davidson, secretary of State Federation of Kansas, left Wednesday morning for Junction City, Kansas, to attend the District Federation meeting. She will return Saturday. THE MOTORCYCLE A head-on collision Sunday, March 7th, between Miss Howard's Hudson coach and a Stearns Knight, driven by Paul Day. Miss Howard received injuries which caused her death. "WHITE SUPREMACY ALL BOSH" SAYS MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT English Newspaper Quotes the Right Honorable Phillip Snowden, M. P. "The old idea of the right of a people with a higher civilization and a more advanced economic development to dominate the rest of the world will have to be frankly abandoned. It is being abandoned. The constitution of the League of Nations is an outstanding instance of that fact. Regardless of color, race and size, nations are admitted to the eLague on terms of equality. "If it were sought to maintain the domination of the white races over the colored by force the effort would be bound to fail in the long run. It is just a question of numbers. It is, for instance, seldom realized that six out of every seven people in the British empire, are colored. "The grave problem," concludes Mr. Snowden, "with its possible menace, will be solved if it be recognized that 'all men are equal born,' and, just as Lincoln said that no man was ever good enough to govern another without his consent, so no race has the right to condemn another race to a position of permanent inferiority." A head-on collision Suncoach and a Stearns Knife injuries which caused he MISS GRACIE HELEN HOWARD December 29, 1900-March 7, 1926. Miss Gracie Helen Howard was born in Brenham, Texas, December 29, 1900 to Elim and Ella Howard. She finished high school there as valedictorian of her class. It was there that she was converted and joined Mt. Rose Baptist church, having been always active in Sunday school work. At the age of 15 her father died. The next year, 1916, her mother moved the family of ten children to Kansas City, Kansas. Miss Grace entered Sumner High School and was graduated in 1918. Her work entitled her to an "A" credit; but not having a four years residence in Kansas City, she was denied a place on the Honor Roll. Nothing daunted, in 1919, she was graduated from the course of Stenographic Commerce at Western University, having in the meantime taught stenoghaphy there. --- DR. J. F. WILSON, FORMER RESIDENT OF KANSAS CITY, PASSES AWAY SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 DR. J. F. WILSON, FORMER OF KANSAS DECRIES ANTI-NEGRO MOVE Methodist Bishop Says Action is Forcing Race from Protestant Church. Atlantic City, March 3.—A "silly modern movement" against Negroes was denounced tonight by Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes of Chicago, presiding officer at the New Jersey Methodist conference. Murmurs of protest were heard. The bishop, tearing off his glasses and hammering the pulpit, announced that he had received some "mean letters," but he had the courage of his convictions. "This silly modern movement is allied to Protestantism in America," he said. "We are driving the Negro into the Catholic church which is welcoming him, yet we have no finer Protestants in this country than the Negro. "If we keep on with our silly movements, we will cause the black, yellow and brown races to combine against Caucasians, and then God help the white people of the world."—Kansas City Times, March 4. BLAH Sunday, March 7th, between Miss Grace's right, driven by Paul Day. Miss Grace death. In September, 1919, she was appointed stenographer in the Wyandotte County Treasure's office, serving with distinction under Mr. Samuel Stewart, Mr. Ben Schnierle, his successor, and Mr. George I. Griffith, the present incumbent. Miss Grace was interested in civic movements beyond her age. She was active in all departments of the Metropolitan Baptist Temple, Ninth street and Washington boulevard, Kansas City, Kansas, having cast her lot there on coming to this city. Her uniform courtesy, winsome charm and thorough dependability bewitched hosts of friends. This with her untiring work enabled her easily to win the Hudson Six awarded by the Kansas City Advocate recently. This rich, beautiful, and magnificently endowed life was shockingly terminated, Sunday evening, March 7, 1926 at the Paseo and Meyer boulevard, Kansas City, Mo., in a terrific automobile crash. Miss Grace is survived by her widowed mother; her two sisters, Mrs. RICE $1.50 Number 33 ASH OMER RESIDENT AS CITY, PASSES AWAY Dr. J. F.

Mrs. Wilson, 945 Everett, mother of Dr. Wilson, left for Nicodemus several days ago, after receiving word of his illness and his desire to come home, and she and Mrs. Ethel Wilson, Dr. Wilson's wife, accompanied him home, arriving Tuesday morning at 8:30 o'clock. He was taken immediatelyy to St. Margaret's hospital. Dr. Wilson is a well known character in Kansas City, Kansas, and spent the greater part of his life and medical practice here.

Airy Grace, Flowing Lines Prominent in Garments for Winter. Movement; the new feeling of dash and freedom; the spirit of ally grace and flowing lines—all that the word kinetic expresses, is to be found in the world of furs. This newest and smartest of fashion's themes is easily achieved in frivolous crepes and fly-away chiffons. But to express it in furs requires the utmost and the most masterly skill, says a fashion writer in the Philadelphia Record. However, it has been done, and done delightfully. Often the development of the pelts is all that is needed to bring out this new theme. This is particularly true of mink. Its beautifully blended colorings are so worked that a feeling of movement is artistically expressed, even when the straight-line models are used. Furs as a whole, are still slender. You may have godets and flares if you 1 --- Coat of Jacquard Fur Is One of the Smartest Models. wish, but these are shown with reserve so that the silhouette is never allowed to assume bulky proportions. Mink Is Aristocratic. A Patou model of finest selected Eastern mink pelts, with all the richly aristocratic appearance of the regal sable, is a wonderful symphony in brown tones. Godets, cleverly and effectively placed, call attention to the kinetic theme, yet so great is the skill with which they are applied that the garment is as slenderly youthful as any deb could wish. This godet flare is only one instance of the genius of Patou, who has given us several models of this type. A roll collar shows the pelts worked in an opposite way with a puffed effect which is very becoming. The same arrangement is shown on the lower part of the sleeves, which gain distinction by not having cuffs. Mink is extremely smart this season, both for matron and maid. It is always elegant, in the best of taste and since the kinetic idea is being featured, it is decidedly youthful. One unusual model has a high-standing collar drawn through a self loop at the front. But as a rule collars are of the shawl type, generously deep, with one and coming down to a point, which sometimes reaches to the beginning of the front flare. A very new model, which is a surprise because it made its appearance so suddenly, and after we thought everything had been decided, is ultra smart and has the chic of Paris in every line. It is a platinum moire caracul with a collar of finest Russian squirrel with that blue tint which is so ravishingly lovely. This follows an entirely new line, quite different from anything we have had. One end is brought down the right side, caught under a flap of the caracul at the waistline and drawn out in a dashing flare to the hem. It is a stunning adaptation of the tuxedo model which so many fashionable members of the younger set are wearing. Another instance is shown in softerst Siberian squirrel, always so flattering and so charming. It is trimmed with platinum fox, in cuffs and tuxedo collar, one side of which reaches the hem. Worn with it is a little hat of the new Paris orchid velours, becoming rolled off the face and enriched with a rhinestone pin. With such an outfit any deb is ready for a season of conquests and will be certain to leave a trail of broken hearts behind her. The New Tuxedo Model. One wonders who the designer of the new one-side tuxedo really was. A number of Paris houses claim it. And it is certainly amazingly popular. It has even spread to frocks, or perhaps that was where it originated, who knows? A very smart Philadelphia matron is wearing it in platinum gray Vionnet crepe with the trimming in squirrel. And a noted stage favorite features it in much the same materials, only she chooses cocoa crepe with mink as the "tuxedo." There is assuredly no more delightful way of showing one's acquaintance with the kinetic theme. With every step of the wearer and even if she INTERNATIONAL A detachment of the Canadian Royal Northwest Mounted police leading the parade in Banff which started the winter sports carnival in the famous winter resort. LITTLE JULIUS SNEEZER doesn't step at all, but remains standing gracefully, this side flare gives the sense of ultra-grace and movement. There has been such a craze for raccoons and silver muskrats among the younger set this season that many wonder if leopard is no longer smart. Indeed it is, and vastly so. But one can buy two raccoons for the price of one leopard. And naturally one always sees more of the less expensive garments. There is no denying the distinction of leopard and it will never lose its vogue any more than Hudson seal or ermine. Rich Gloriaus Colorings. They are even showing leopard cat and angora leopard this season in an effort to keep up with the demand for this striking pelt. But there is nothing to compare in rich, glorious colorings with African baby leopard. Its tawny shadings and beautiful markings make it a fur which will never lose its appeal. A delightfully kinetic flare is formed on a stunning leopard model by a border of selected natural fitch which comes up in a point at the front. The fitch is also used for flare cuffs and for a collar which follows a modified one-side trimming idea and rolls in a deep point to meet the flare. Such a coat is the last word, is chic and is something to gladden the heart of any deb or young matron. It may be worn with a tailored felt of periwinkle blue or a draped turban of Lanvin green, if for daytime wear. But leopard coats of this type are so wonderfully handsome that they go very smartly to evening affairs. And then one might choose a gold lace poke if something more elaborate than felt is desired. Funny, isn't it, how felts go everywhere? Remember what a short time ago it was that a felt hat was considered proper only for business and school wear? And now they go to the most stately affairs. And did you read about the furore they had in London recently because girls remove their felt hats from their bobbed heads as they enter a restaurant, exactly as their men friends do? And they tuck them nonchalantly under their arms as they proceed tableward. Parisians have been doing this for some time and it didn't create any excitement at all. But then, we have grown accustomed to thinking of Paris as the place of strange happenings. Beaver and Leopard. Beaver is also a very pleasing accompaniment of leopard. It tones in wonderfully with the golden brown-red. By the way, have you noticed how especially becoming leopard is to a red-headed girl? What a pity every girl with Titian locks can't have one. A model which is attracting much attention is of African baby leopard trimmed with golden Alaska beaver which is so much handsomer and thicker and silkier than any other beaver could possibly be. A deep collar rolling in a point to the border which is drawn smartly up at one side; bell cuffs and the wide border of this enchanting fur make this cont a thing of everlasting beauty. Heim, who has created so many handsome models this winter, reverses the usual process and uses leopard for a trimming fur. It appears on a coat of natural korovna, as a narrow collar, coming down in a point on one side to meet the border which is much THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Underwood & Underwood higher on the right side than the left. A saucy little tab of leopard is caught with a buckle at the waistline. The outstanding model of Bechoff's collection is a cocoa American broadtail, which is an immensely popular pelt this season. It is featured in a number of coats shown for the women who must use it for both dress and business wear. And cocoa seems to be a high favorite in colors. It tones in with almost any other shade better than anything, perhaps, except black. And black is noticeable by its absence this season. With the exception of the seals, both Hudson and Alaska, there is little black. And even women who formerly clung tenaciously to Hudson seal, have now decided upon the more youthful cocoa or platinum shades. Scallops and Prints in Spring Fashion Picture Probably the fact that this is to be a scalloped and painted season has made itself sufficiently evident. without mention of it, but the idea is employed in so many new and attractive ways that these are well worth talking about. In the first place the opportunity for renewing a frock whose hem is straight is given a new life by slashing the lower part of the skirt and rounding the edge of these sections. Then may be added under this slash and below the scallop, and picted to it, a piece of georgette flaring into a godet and having a larger scalloped edge. Or the fullness may be added by taking a piece of lace flouncing and cutting a scalloped shaped piece to use like the chiffon. Sometimes the heavier lace may be found with a design in scallops. These can be cut apart and added to the scalloped lower edge of the dress. JESTS AND JOLTS A short answer seldom helps things along. Facts are stubborn things that never apologize. All men may be liars, but not all liars are men. Life would be mighty monotonous if it were all sunshine. They say that the best counsel is that of women.—Culderon.

The way of the transgressor may be hard, but it's generally pretty smooth. Any man who can make money can make friends, but he can't always keep either.

Sees Composition as Eradicator of Slang Composition is the most effective means of eradicating slang, says Ramsay MacDonald, former prime minister of England. "Youths practiced in writing down their thoughts will very rarely practice slang for their conversation," he declared. "Slang is one of the most certain signs of decadent minds. It is not only murder of good English, but it murders truth itself. "The use of slang is a fraud upon yourself. You imagine you are clever and impressive, but as a matter of fact you are exactly the opposite. It is a fraud on your friends because you mislead them. You pretend to tell them what you are thinking when as a matter of fact you are doing nothing of the kind. It is the resort of the lazy and slovenly." Porcelain Traffic Lines A new idea for making permanent white lines for use at street crossings and for the direction of motor traffic is to be tried out soon in London, says Popular Science Monthly. White porcelain studs are Inserted in holes drilled in wood paving. The studs are Inserted in a line three abreast, making a strip of white wide enough to be seen easily. The chief advantage of the porcelain is that it is unaffected by weather, oil, or mud, and thus makes a line that cannot be erased by the constant beat of traffic. Statistics Secretary Mellon at a Washington reception said of a sensational statistician: "His figures are so amazingly precise that you incline to doubt them. He's like the sugar planter in Hawaii who took a tourist to the edge of a volcano and said: "That crater, Dick, is just sixty thousand and two years old." "And two!" said Dick, with a laugh. 'Where do you get the two?' "I've been here two,' said the planter. 'It was sixty thousand when I came.' Cards are a very good pastime where people are not equipped to converse. The average young man finds it easier to get a wife than to get the furniture. A small fortune in the bank confers a blessed peace of mind even if you never use it. A woman thinks her husband is the wisest man on earth the day he leads her to the altar. One married man says that the jaws of death are not to be compared with the "jaw" of life. Some persons are born poor, some achieve poverty and some thrust poverty upon others. A word to the wise may be sufficient, but the policeman frequently has to use a club on the otherwise.

The senrise prayer mecting was spir- itual, the Sunday school at 9:30 a. m. was full of life and the sermon by Pastor Bronson at 11 a. m. was good. Just as Pastor Bronson was start- ing to preach the Sacramental sermon he was called to the telephone, the choir was asked to sing and no preach- ing was done. It was found after hundreds took the Lord’s Supper, that our beloved member, Miss Grace Howard had died frém being in- an automobile crash. When Pastor Bronson announced it, members and friends were speechless with sorrow.

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL JUNIOR GRANT ENTERTAINS On Thursday, March 4, Master Mathew Otis Grant, small son of Mr. and Mrs. M. O. Grant, 1216 N. Twelfth street, was host to a party, in honor of his first birthday. The house was beautifully decorated in pink and blue. The table was covered with a specially made crepe paper depicting nursery scenes, and the center piece was a beautiful white birthday cake appropriately decorated and adorned with one tiny pink candle. This was baked and presented to the host by his father. Ten of the eleven invited guests were present, and the party opened with great gusto. We regretfully relate, however, that Master Grant so far forgot the occasion and his dignity as host as to beat up several of his guests to retain possession of one of his presents, a tiny scuttle, the only toy given him, and therefore much desired by all present. An argument ensued, ending in a battle from which Master Grant emerged victorious, and with the scuttle. After the smoke of battle cleared away, a hilarious afternoon was spent, ending with wonderful ice cream and cake. Each small guest received a candy doll, wrapped in pink and blue paper, as a favor. The mothers were entertained by Mrs. Grant, and at their service the napkins were made into pink buds. Pictures were taken of the group by the host's mother.

THE FARMER The farmer has the situation in his own hands, but in the economic situation he is the man farthest down. He is looking for help from the outside, but he, like the Negro, can only get effective help from his own ranks, from within. Oner has the situation in his own hand.

Whose fault is it that the farmer sells it at $1.20 and when he gets it all safely sold, two weeks later, no one can buy it for less than $2.00. Did Secretary Jardine of the Department of Agriculture, a Kansan, hit the keynote sometime ago, when he said: "Too frequently lands that were fit only for grazing have been plowed up and planted to crops, with results that have been highly disastrous. I firmly believe that we should put to the most efficient use the land already under cultivation, and wait for the time when we can sell, for a profit the products now grown, before launching into any great expansion of farm lands." The Secretary said in another place: "There are conditions in the states that must be handled carefully, but I contend that if the industry of agriculture, including live, just be let alone I believe that in a short time everything will be worked out to a nicety." But Congressman Chauncey B. Little, another Kansan, espouses the cause of the farmer for immediate relief, feeling that with present help the farmer can take care of the future. He proclaims: "As the member from the second district, I appeal to my colleagues to fight for the cause of agriculture and victory will come, the same as it did for prohibition, the income tax and other great causes. Price fixing was once ridiculed, but since the Iowa farmers met it has been indorsed by many and has become quite respectable. We must drive the grain gamblers out of America. We must give the farmer a square deal." RESPECT FOR LAW In announcing his candidacy, for the seat of Senator McKinley of Illinois, Mr. George E. Brennan, the Mark Hanna of the Democratic Party, state a fact that not even the church can gainsay, when he declares: "Volsteadism is destroying respect for all law and government. It is corrupting the lives of boys and girls alike." racing his candidacy, for the seat of Sen George E. Brennan, the Mark Hanna state a fact that not even the church states: "Volsteadism is destroying respect. It is corrupting the lives of boys and a slogan and Republican Senator Borgo into Illinois to fight Republican Senan will win hands down. With this slogan and Republican Senator Borah leaving his own state to go into Illinois to fight Republican Senator McKinley, Mr. Brennan will win hands down. THE NEGRO AND THE CHURCH Since almost every week the papers tell us of some defection from the church or its time honored doctrines and attested creeds it is refreshing to catch notes from Negro prelates as is voiced in the articles of Bishops R. A. Carter and L. W. Kyles appearing in the January issue of the Journal of Negro History so ably edited by Dr. Carter G. Woodson. ost every week the papers tell us of each or its time honored doctrines and to catch notes from Negro prelature of Bishops R. A. Carter and L. W. K. issue of the Journal of Negro History G. Woodson. We are thoroughly familiar with the Booker Washington and the DuBois theories, Dean Kelly Miller's Sanhedrin and the Garvey movement. At some future we may attempt to show that these four comprise a complete whole. Dr. Woodson without the noise and pyrotechnics of the above is making a silent but effective contribution to the Negro's advancement by digging into musty files and wringing from reluctant and hidden pages the achievements of Negroes from the coming of Columbus to the present time and holding the undistorted mirror to the eyes of the present day Negro. At the recent celebration of the church anniversary of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History sitting in Washington, D. C., Bishop Carter showed how the beginnings of advancement of the Negro emanated from the church, and when things were dark elsewhere, fostered these beginnings as the Roman Catholic Church did European culture during the Middle Ages. Bishop Kyles pictures that though the Jews could not sing the Lord's songs in a strange land, the Negro in a stranger land composed songs to that same Lord and taught his oppressors how to admire and imitate those songs. While his white brother is busying himself with seeking new names to separate himself from the rest of mankind, the Negro is literally exemplifying the meekness and brotherly love taught by the Savior of Mankind. The Bishop quotes President Henry Churchill King of Obeillin admonishing thus: "Both Whites and Blacks may be reminded, also, that, as a great philosopher has pointed out: The qualities that have made the Anglo-Saxon so often dominant are not altogether enviable qualities. They have their distinctly ungenerous, hard, selfish, domineering side, that any race may well avoid. The so-called 'John Bull attitude' the Negro need not envy. As contrasted with this, the purer Negro seems often to have a temperamental kindliness of disposition, a good nature, a readiness to make the most of a situation, and to find none insufferable that while it may often be an obstacle to an advancement, has a great gift to make to contentment and happiness of life. It is possible to make life quite too strenuous, to live so completely in the future as never really to live in the present—to take no enjoyment in life as it passes, and this is the certain danger of the American rush. The Negro's tendency to content—while undoubtedly a temptation to laziness—has in it, thus, a real element of strength, and much suggestion for an over-enterprising people that has become frantic in its haste . . . And we may not forget . . . the positive genius which the Negro seems to have for religion. His natural religious endowment is probably unsurpassed by that of any race, unless it be the Jews. And the modern Jew is hardly his rival here." THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE MISCELLANEOUS HOUSEHOLD HINTS General Suggestions for Serving and Garnishing. A salad served with the fish or meat course is eaten with the fork provided for the fish or meat. Use a tray when two or more small articles are to be passed at table or removed from table. Use a tray to remove salt and pepper shakers, salted nuts and olives. Demand for Sp Vogue for Apparel Briftion Into B The vogue of ol' has greatly stimulat lace, observes a f the New York T lately, rare lace, Use a tray to pass sugar and cream coffee, etc. The handles should be turned towards the person served. Serve hot food on heated dishes, cold food on chilled dishes. Let the dishes be appropriate in size and shape to the articles served upon them. Let one-third of the dish be free from all food including the garnish. If the garnish does not appeal to the eye and thus to the appetite, discard it. Let the garnish be appropriate to the dish, as cress with meat, parsley with fish. Use no garnish that intercferes with the carving or serving of the article garnished. Let the garnishes be edible. Fish Fish contains the same food value as meat at a much smaller cost, and furnishes a food that not only tastes good but is easily digested Fish should be eaten while fresh and in season. Stale fish is poisonous, so great care should be used in its selection. Fish contains albumen, and as albumen which is like the white of egg, clots at a low temperature, it should be cooked at a temperature below boiling point of water. How to Select Fresh Fish Select a fish that has bright eyes and gills, shiny scales, firm flesh and is free from a disagreeable odor. Remove the scales by drawing a knife over the fish beginning at the tail and working toward the head. Wipe the inside and outside with a cloth wet in cold, salted water, then wipe with a dry cloth kept for the purpose. Head and tail may not be taken off, according to the manner of cooking. Broiling, baking and steaming are the best methods for cooking fish. Broiled Trout. Clean trout, wipe dry. Cut into suitable pieces for serving. Dip pieces in melted fat and broil over a clear fire for about 12 minutes. LATEST OF ELEMENTS 10 Two tiny medicine bottles which are now being guarded jealously by the bureau of standards contain the only specimens of hafnium in the United States, the latest of the officially recognized elements to be discovered. They were received a short time ago from the laboratory of the Danish physicist Bohr, in Copenhagen, where the element was isolated in 1923. In this photograph Dr. W. F. Meggers, of the bureau of standards, is shown examining the spectrum of hafnium. Very Sharp Indeed Secretary Hoover was talking about a sharp business deal. "It was perhaps a little too sharp," he said. "It reminds me of a girl who had just broken off her engagement. "I suppose you'll give me back my ring?" her rejected sweetheart said to her. "No," she answered firmly. 'Diamonds have gone up. I'll give you back what you paid for it.' Phone Fairfax 3272 1912 N. 5 M. A.

CANDIES, CIGARS, PAINTS AND OIL TOILET GOODS AND SUNDRIES Demand for Lace for Spring Wear Vogue for Old-Fashioned Apparel Brings Decoration Into Limelight. The vogue of old-fashioned gowns has greatly stimulated the demand for lace, observes a fashion authority in the New York Times. Until quite lately, rare lace, fichus, flounces, jabots and collars have been displayed under the glass of shop cases for the benefit of ladies with Victorian taste in dress. Brides have always worn inherited lace for sentimental reasons, or to express the tradition of "something old," with "something new, something borrowed and something blue." Great quantities of many kinds of lace are now shown ready for the spring wardrobe and for the dainty gowns for resorts. Real lace is shown along with the novelties, offering a wide assortment. For tub frocks, negleiges, lingerie and blouses a great deal of Irish crochet is used. Fillet is less popular, but valenciennes, binche, point d'alencon, chantilly and roseleine are very fashionable. The frock of many ruffles is daintest when the ruffles are of lace, or of net or mousseLINE edged with lace. Some adorable little dance frocks are made with frills from waist to hem, charming for young women with slender figures. Another model has two or three wide flouces, quite full, added to a gathered skirt, giving the effect of extreme fullness. In one stunning black dinner gown, two deep flouces of black net are gathered on LONDON Evening Gown of Rose-Hued Silk With Plaited Underskirt. the skirt, straight around, except in front, where the skirt is slightly lifted in a point. To the edge of each flounce is added a full ruching of black taffeta. A charming evening gown for the debutante is of rose-hued satin with plaited underskirt and soft georgette forming a billow over it. Large roses at the bodice and shoulders and on the scarf of tulle match the dress. Hand-Painted Hosiery and Garters, Late Mode Hand-painting is the latest mode of ornamenting silk stockings. Sheer chiffon hose in pale beige, gray flesh and nude shades are painted in delicate pastels in graceful trailing flower designs on the instep, some almost to the knee. Fine lace, usually chantilly, is introduced in motifs and entre deux in the most elaborate examples of this new idea. One model is painted in faintly tinted roses, pointed here and there with rhinestones. Along with these extravagant fancies in stockings are shown hand-painted garters, the painting being done on ribbon covering the elastic, with lovely jeweled buckles. Crepe de Chine Jumper Frocks Smart for street wear are crepe de chine jumper frocks combined with coats of tweed, the tweed being smooth and closely woven. Usually the coat is self-lined to add warmth. As to line, the coat is narrow at the shoulders and flares toward the hemline. Collars are so narrow as to almost be absent since the idea in wraps this year is scantness above the waist.
