PAID PART COST-EBLON Friends Insisted That I Sign, Says Mrs. Eblon KANSAS Sunshine Sammy (Ernest Frederick Morrison) Gives $250.00 to Wheatley Povident Hospital Sunshine Sammy's mother was tendered a reception at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. J. Edward Perry, 2451 Montgall avenue, Kansas City, Missouri, Sunday afternoon, by the Wheatley-Provident Hospital Beacon Club. Many prominent people were present and enjoyed the delicate refreshments, the piano and the radio. At 4:45 Sammy arrived from the matinee accompanied by his father, his manager, his tutor. Mr. Carrington, his adopted brother, Master Harold Barque. At once Sammy became the center of attraction. As soon as he could gracefully slip from the gaze of the grown-ups, he was led to some other little fellows and was soon at home. Later when the speech making began, Sammy declined to say anything but that he was delighted with the hospitality of the Kansas City people and the tender care that they extended to his darling mother while she was in the hospital.

Then came the announcement from Sammy's father that ten per cent of his net proceeds from the theatre engagement just closing would be given to the hospital. Mrs. Reeves, on behalf of the club, presented the check and Attorney C. H. Calloway, on the part of the hospital, of which he is president, accepted the $250.00. Speeches were made by Mrs. Perry, Dr. Perry, Mr. Chas. Harris, Mr. Hickum and Sammy's father. He could not find no words for the expression of his deep appreciation and gratitude for attention given his wife during her confinement at Wheatley-Provident hospital for the operation and for the pleasure this six weeks' stay had given him and the company in Kansas City. Mr. Carrington sang and accompanied himself. On the encore he paused to say that the piece that he was about to sing, "Remember Me," though it bore the name of Berlin, it was really composed by a colored youth named Smith, an acquaintance of his. "Many a young Negro in New York, said Mr. Carrington, "unable to publish his production was compelled to sell it for as little as $5.00 and the buyer published it as his own; thus much music was lost to the race." With this last number Sammy and his suite bade Kansas City society farewell. NEW CHAPTER COMPLETED Formal organization ceremonies of the new Golden Sheaf Chapter No. 88, O. E.

Number 34 ```markdown ``` LITTLE JULIUS SNEEZER GEE WHIZ - I'D LIKE TO GET A GOOD JOB SOME PLACE! I WOULDN'T WANT TO WORK FOR THAT GUY! DICKENS' WORKS FOR $2 WEEK HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO WORK FOR ME, YOUNG MAN? WHAT—FOR TWO DOLLARS A WEEK? I'M NOT IN DICKENS' CLASS! PAGETWO Is Negro History Worth While? Is Negro History Worth While? THE NEGRO MUST PUBLISH HIS HISTORY TO THE WORLD OR REMAIN CONTENT WITH THE STATUS OF INFERIORITY. This is the keynote of the Spring Conference of the Association for the study of Negro life and history to be held at the Virginia Normal and Industrial institute, Pittsburg, Virginia, on the 30th and 31st of this month. The recent effort of the Association has been to publish the facts of Negro history during the reconstruction. The program of the conference will center around this subject. The Program Prof. John R. Hawkins will deliver an address on the Virginia Negroes in history since the Civil war; Prof. L. P. Jackson will discuss the education of the Negro during the reconstruction; Dr. James S. Russell will emphasize the rural economic progress of the race in freedom; Professors Rayford W. Logan and J. H. Johnston will deliver addresses on the Negroes' participation in the reconstruction government of Virginia, and Prof. M. M. Fisher, and Dr. C. G. Woodson will discuss the Negro church through this stormy perid. There will be presented a pageant called "The Gateway" visualizing the life and history of the Negro. Sending out the announcement of this conference Dr. Woodson refers to popularizing Negro history as a challenge to the Negro. He says: "Either convince the world that you have a record as glorious as that of any other race or remain content with a fixed status of inferiority. The greatest scholars of today are saying that there is no such thing as race in science and that there is nothing in anthropology or psychology to support such myths as the inferiority or superiority of races. These things, however, will have little bearing on the uplift of the Negro. If they are left in the study of academic discussion. There must be an actual demonstration. The Negro must learn his past and publish it to this prejudiced world. A man's social standing is determined largely by the record of his family. A nation is known for what it has achieved. The very name of Greek or Roman excites admiration; the mere mention of the word Negro arouses contempt. And yet the Negro has contributed as much to the welfare of mankind as the Greek or the Roman. The Negro himself, however, does not know it because his friends have not been anxious for him to learn his interesting story. It is purely a matter of traditional education. In our homes and in our schools we are taught the virtuous and achievements of one race only. In practically all of the schoolhouses of Europe and America there is not a picture on the wall or a book on the shelf to show that a Negro has ever achieved anything. The white people of today, then, should not be blamed for their contemptuous attitude toward the Negro. The Negroes should not be censured if some of them have the "inferiority complex." Centuries of perverted education will do almost anything; for education, after all, is too often downright propaganda. We are taught that the Negro has no history; and judging from the pagan point of view, we must concede that the Negro lacks the prestige of recent conquest and exploitation. But real history is not the narrative of military despots who have afflicted the world with misery while they were contending for supremacy, not the record of those who have indulged themselves in luxury and ease at the expense of weaker peoples. A New Vision Today we are getting a new vision of history as the progress of mankind toward a social and spiritual ideal, the elimination of strife, the promotion of peace and good will unto the happy day when men shall forget their national prejudices, outgrow racial differences, cast aside race hate, and rise unto the altruism of a rejuvenated universe." Romans Leave Off Singing? Romans no longer sing, complains a writer in the Rome Messagero. There was a time, not long ago, when one might hear a carpenter pounding nails to the tune of "Funicull" and a street cleaner chanting "Sole Mio" over his refuse. Rome, which is trying hard to become a cosmopolitan capital like Paris and Berlin, appears to be paying the price. BARBER BILL ARRAIGNED AS RANK INJUSTICE NEWSPAPERS VOICE VIGOROUS DEMAND FOR ITS REPEAL-OPPOSITION GENERAL. Atlanta, Ga., March 16. — Severely arraigning Atlanta's recently enacted barber ordinance which provides that Negro barbers shall not serve white women and children, the Wesleyan Christian Advocate, of this city, official organ of the white Southern Methodists of Georgia, demands the repeal of the law and calls upon all right minded citizens to busy themselves to that end. Among other arguments against the law, the Wesleyan says: "It is an attempt of one class of men to capitalize prejudice to their own material advantage. It is the rankest kind of injustice. Every member of every white barbers' union that had any part in advocating this law ought to hang his head in crimson shame. A big newsboy who should browbeat a small cripple from the streets in order that he might have the whole business opportunity that they offered would be in the same class. In comparison with the white people, the Negro, is a disadvantaged race. That his competitors should seek to drive him from the field is an outrageous violation of human rights. If white barbers cannot meet black competition then they ought to retire from the field like men and confess themselves beaten. To call upon a white government to come to their rescue and drive from the field those who in fair competition are securing some of that trade that they covet is to take an unworthy advantage. Fight fairly, win honestly." Reproducing this editorial in full, the Atlanta Constitution vigorously supports the demand for repeal of the law in a half-column editorial which concludes: "It will be a happy day for Atlanta and for this great state founded upon the bedrock of individual justice, when the bigotry of ignorance and pre judice, and the designing capitalization of these destructive elements, shall have been driven from the life of the commonwealth." The bill has been widely and vigorously denounced by the press of Georgia and the South. Covington, Va., Box 363. Chief of Police, I am writing to you for a little information. I want to know if you can give me any information about a man by the name of Anderson Walker. He is a colored man and is very dark about thirty-five or forty years old. He is an ex-soldier. The last we heard of him he was in that city. If you will hand this letter to some of the colored churches I will thank you very much and will also pay you for any expense that may accrue in doing so. This man has lived in that State for about twelve or fourteen years. Thanking you in advance for anything you may do for me. Yours truly J. H. WALKER, Box 363. Blouses and Tunics Are Blouses and tunics of many styles are shown. They are worn belted in, after the manner of the European peasant. Different sorts of belts are used for these overblouses and mark the normal waistline more definitely than any curve in the cut of the gown or bodice could do, but they do not make for symmetry or grace. The longer tunics ending between the hip and the knee are held by any one of the flexible belt girdles or swathing sashes. This fashion has caught the fancy of many Americans.

Radical Departures in Silks for Spring Wear The silks for spring and the Riviera season will mark several radical departures from current styles, says a fashion writer in the New York Herald-Tribune. Pastel shades will succeed the vivid hues of autumn and winter, while green, a present-day favorite, is destined to undergo a partial eclipse. Border patterns in futuristic designs or in dotted themes have also been developed by the leading French fabricants, and there is a well-founded rumor to the effect that ombre designs are to be revived. Dotted effects will be particularly smart, and there will be numerous versions such as the graduated dots, cubist dot patterns and combinations of the straight solid line with a series of dots. Prints also are destined for another season, and the new patterns will be distinguished by their distinct departure from conventional themes and colorings. 612 Minnesota Avenue New Scientific Light on Plant Intelligence An intoxicated carrot has convinced Sir Jagadis Chandra Bose, the British plant psychologist, that plants have intelligence. Sir Jagadis is more than ever convinced that trees fall in love just as human beings do, as a result of his latest experiments. The intelligence of plants, he says, approaches the instinctive intelligence of the lower forms of animals. He bases his conclusions on observation of the injection of alcohol, chloroform, carbonic acid and other chemicals into living plants. He also has looked into arboreal amours on the spot. Trees apparently select other trees nearby as objects of affection. Sir Jagadis said in an interview. Trees thus smitten send out tendrils to enfold the objects of their affection. By injections, Sir Jagadis said he was able to make a carrot drunk or to make it lose consciousness. Plant fibers really are muscles, he contends.

If we were better posted on international etiquette, we would stand on our broad Americanism and ask: Since our government could not grant your dire need, why are you so quick since your government from another source got two hundred times that loan, to accept a white man as our government's representative, seeing that you made out with Black men before and up to right now. If you don't see where you are heading, ask Haiti? Our government has produced a no more astute statesman than James G. Blaine.

WANTS MODELS OF DECORATIVE LIMBS According to a news item, Patrick Kerns of Philadelphia is reported as having advertised for the 20 loveliest pairs of ankles in the Quaker city, each model chosen to slt for a portrait or statue of her shapely limbs, for his private salon. Mr. Kerns, interviewed by reporters, who wished to ascertain whether he was going to start a "Follies" of his own, admitted that he was collecting evidence of beautiful ankle specimens for his own pleasure and for the sake of posterity; that for years he had believed them extinct in his city. First, he said sadly, the flapper streak hit the girls, and they wore flapping galoshes which completely ruined his artistic contemplation of limbs, and then, when fashion brought ankles in sight again, there seemed to be no shapely ones. Athletics, the wide use of sandals, and the "boyish ideals" of girls, according to the wealthy Philadelphia, have been the various causes of the scarcity of decorative limbs, and despairing of seeing them in motor busses or parks any more, it appears, he decided to collect models of his own and immortalize them for his private salon satisfaction. Waste no time In regrets that you cannot live your life over again. If you could, you would probably make a still bigger fool of yourself in other directions than you have made in the past. If a fair-sized city were to be-wiped out by an epidemic the world would be horrified. Yet the motor car is killing about 20,000 people a year, and nobody seems to be particularly concerned. Flifty years ago now, according to an exchange, an epidemic of "epizootic" was raging among the horses of the country.

Seek X-Ray Stain To make the internal organs of the body opaque so that they can be photographed by X-rays, scientists are seeking a special kind of stain. It has already been discovered that injection of a special oil will make the lung cavities susceptible to registering on X-ray exposures and this, it is believed, will be of great aid in diagnosing tuberculosis.—Popular Mechanics Magazine.

By all the finery that flutters in the Southern breezes, gray and green are leading colors, especially for daytime wear. More shades of green than nature ever essayed to use in her decorative schemes are seen and in all popular fabrics. But that's not saying that other colors are out of the picture, notes a fashion correspondent in the Kansas City Star, for every observer of fashion knows that green combines delightfully with nearly every other color under the sun. Fashion will not overlook this opportunity to use other colors. The same is true of gray. The pinky belge fingers out of popularity and service to womankind rather than for any new note it serves in the mode. Gray is one color that requires an ensemble of complete harmony. It brings us back to an increasing vogue for gray hosiery, something lighter than the gunmetal shade and partaking of fleshy tones so much a part of the nude-shade hosiery. Paris has not given up belge and flesh-colored hosiery by any means, but it must be conceded that many another shade may be worn and still be in good taste; even black hosiery has its sponsors by women who are regarded sartorially correct on every occasion. Importance in colors is given to chartreuse, which, by the way, is a much-abused word this season, as all shades of yellowish green now come under that name. Pale blue, lavender, pink and delicate yellows are very popular both in taffeta for evening and in wool for sports. Jersey, knitted fabrics and tweed all come in these delicate colors.

The long tunic frocks for daytime wear are leaders in their particular fields of dress. It was O'Rossen who made famous the boyish suit of a few seasons past, one that never has quite faded from the picture since that time. Its tremendous popularity may be repeated again if the O'Itossen models meet with the same approval of seasons ago. SEE SHORTAGE OF CHINCHILLAN WRAPS Sad news for women who have their hearts set on the acquisition of chinchilla wraps is that the chinchilla is in danger of extinction. Already the price of chinchilla fur is almost prohibitive. In a few more years, unless the rodent of the barren Andes is given adequate protection, his fur will bring the equivalent of a king's ransom. However, with the decrease in the number of the little animals, the hunt for them becomes more determined. In the early days of the Spanish conquest of Peru and Bolivia chinchillas were found in the lowlands and on the plateaus. They were as common as rats along the few rivers in these two countries. The wives of the Spanish viceroyos discovered the beauty of the fur and the hunt of the animals began. Old records show that in 1884 a German furrier in Chile exported 100,000 skins valued at 250,000 gold marks (about $62,500). In 1900 northern Chile shipped over 1,000,000 pelts. Such wholesale killing caused the chinchilla practically to disappear from its old Chilean haunts and greatly reduced the number in Peru and Bolivia.

Crepe de chine, triple volle and chiffon are all much in favor for lingerie. Real lace dyed in deep ochre shades trims the classical flesh-pink underwear, while when more original colors are chosen, such as almond green, pale blue, mauve or yellow, the lace is often dyed to match the fabric. Black lingerie always enjoys a certain vogue, and in chiffon or georgette amply trimmed with lace it is exquisite this season. Inlet points and incrustations of lace that are turreted or vandyked are very popular. Sometimes black lingerie is trimmed with black lace, chantilly or d'alencon being the favorites, although many women prefer the contrast of light ochre. The printed chiffon craze has also spread to tingerie. One of the prettiest sets seen in Paris this season was made of white chiffon scattered with a field flower design in blues, reds and yellows, trimmed with inlet triangles of fine black lace, giving that amusing little flare at the hem of the chemise and knickers that follows the dress line.

The rarity of fine stones, an expert says, is but one factor of the high price. The great amount of high-grade labor expended to turn the raw stone into a finished gem is the main item. The cutting process involves the constant risk of spoiling the entire stone. A first step consists in cleaving the specimen with the grain and requires great care and skill. Small ends are recut into brilliants, while the gem itself is faceted on top and bottom. The next process involves the lapping of the remaining facets, which requires more time than the cutting and causes the stone to lose from one to two-thirds of its weight.—Popular Mechanics.

PAUL'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 1720 PASEO, KANSAS CITY, MO. REV. ARTHUR E. RANKIN, PASTOR Text, Proverbs 4:9, 10. The Christian and his money was the subject of Rev. Rankin's semi-illustrated sermon. "Someone has said," he declared, "a fool and his money soon parteth; but a christian and his money sticketh together." Many think it undignified to make the appeal for the church that is made for other agencies. Yet God helps to make the money, therefore the first that should be taken out is the part that is His, the Jews set apart the first tenth for God and they are the wealthies people on earth. It is not how much of my money shall I give to God, but rather how much of God's money may I keep for myself. The pastor had on the wall a chart for study or inspection showing the major needs of humanity and the parts of the dollar required to supply them: Sunshine Sammy, his parents and his suite were in the congregation. His tutor, Mr. Carrington, accompanying himself, sang "The Lord is my Shepherd." Elder Thomas A. Jones, M.D., introduced the members of the suite. All spoke. Mrs. Morrison as well as her son Sammy thanked the people of Kansas City for their unstinted hospitality and especially the doctors and nurses at Wheatley-Providen hospital for their tender care while she was undergoing an operation there. She could not find words adequate to sound the praises of the hospital corps. The strong religious vein that pervaded this company was noticeable. Miss Ida M. Scott of Topeka was among the worshippers. She was one of the founders of this Presbyterian Church. Her son, Clovis, recently was graduated from the Santa Fe shops in Topeka, the first Negro apprentice to achieve that distinction BETHEL, KANSAS Mrs. Ethel Dunn, and Mrs. Stella Walker, are yet on the sick list. Walker, are yet on the sick list. Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Richards, visited friends in Kansas City during the week. Mr. Wade Scott, visited Sunday afternoon in Kansas City. Miss Blanche Henderson was home the week end from Kansas City, where she is attending the N. E. Jr. High School. Misses Juonita Porter and Helen Crockett, are also attending the same school. The Everready club of the Zion chapel A. M. E. church will give a social at the home of Mrs. Lucy Mack, Saturday evening. The Young Men's Advance club has purchased a carpet for aisle, and a gas range for the kitchen.

THE CITIENS' FORUM The Citizens' Forum had a fine program last-Sunday, March 14th. Some of the best features were a reading by Miss V. Gerren, encored; Vocal Solo, Mrs. Radcliffe, encored; Paper, "True Citizenship," by Mrs. L. Bills, which was fine; She won the $5 prize on this same paper at the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. O. Murray also had a good paper. Next Sunday March 21st, the Alpha Art Club will give a fine program, and a large crowd is expected. Some to the Forum. Prejudice in Virginia, Missouri or any other state, affects the Negro in Kansas as well. An editor of a white paper in Virginia has sponsored a bill to separate colored and whites, and the true purpose of it to forbid the white people who visit Hampton Institute (one of the finest trade schools for our boys and girls) to sit alongside the faculty and students. To think, when white people visit a colored school, a law, if passed, would compel them to set off to themselves. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Meats and Poultry. Beef which shows elasticity on being pressed with the finger and presents a bright red color after being cut may be regarded as good and fresh, where it shows a coarse fibre in the fat, and the lean is of a dark red color, the animal of which it formed a part has been poorly fed. To ascertain whether poultry is young and tender try the skin under the leg or wing, if easily broken, it is young, or if the joint of the wing yields readily on an attempt to turn the wing backward it is tender. A fat fowl is best for any style of cooking. To reduce the meat bill, make a little meat go a long way by preparing meat combinations dishes, such as stews, meat loaves, meat pies, stuffed roasts, etc. Make good meats gravies. Spread the meat flavor. Only a little meat is needed to give flavor to a whole dish. Beef a la Mode. Insert twelve large strips of salt pork fat or piece of suet into 'a 4-pound piece of round beef. Season with salt and pepper dredge with flour. Put a piece of suet in a hot pan, brown the meat on all sides in this. Put in kettle with vegetables and water. Cover closely and cook slowly four or five hours in oven or top of range. Chicken Pie. Put stewed chicken in a baking dish. Cover with short-cake or baking powder biscuit dough, and bake until done. To paint the lower cellar stair white will save many a mishap and fear of misstep. Vinegar diluted with water will remove grease from the stove. A few grains of rice placed in bottom of salt cellar will keep salt from sticking in damp weather. Cleaning Lace. Cream colored Spanish lace can be cleaned and made to look like new by rubbing it in dry flour, rub as if you were washing in water, than take it outdoors and shake all the flour out. If not perfectly clean, repeat the rubbing in a little more clean flour. The flour must be very thoroughly shaken from the lace, or the result will be far from satisfactory. White knitted hoods can be cleaned in this way. Heat lemons well before squeezing and there will be double the quantity of juice. To keep cheese from moulding wrap in cloth dipped in vinegar and keep in a covered dish. If tarnished silver is laid in sour milk it will clean itself. To remove insects, dirt, etc., from green vegetables, sprinkle salt over them before washing. QUINDARO NOTES. Mrs. Emma Vaughn. The second quarterly meeting of Allen Chapel A. M. E.
