Angered by the refusal of his wife to give him two dollars, William Schulter, a negro barber cut his wife's throat with a razor at his home, 407 North Fifth street at 5:20 o'clock Sunday afternoon and then turned the terrible weapon upon his aged father-in-law, Henry Williams. Both of the victims of Schulter's mania died almost instantly. The little home was converted into a shambles. It was a grewsome sight that greeted the neighbors who rushed in. The front porch and the front-room where the deed was committed were litterally sloppy with blood. After cutting and killing his wife and his father-in-law, Schulter walked into the yard and stood for awhile on the south side of the house where he was found by patrolman Charles Mitchell. Schulter made no resistance and was soon in jail. The bodies were removed to an undertaking establishment where they were held for a coroner's inquest which was held Sunday night. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that Henry Williams and Ida Schulter came to their death at the hands of William Schulter, and charged Schulter with murder in the first degree. Schulter was arraigned before Justice J. T. Stockton at 10 o'clock Monday morning. He was taken quietly to the justice's chambers handcuffed to Deputy Sheriff King and guarded by Sheriff Sapp. The proceedings before Justice Stockton were brief. Emmett C. Anderson, prosecuting attorney, read the information of Corner Davis charging Schulter with murder in the first degree in the matter of Ida Schulter. "We have no desire to take advantage of you," said Mr. Anderson, "and if you wish a preliminary examination where you can have an attorney you may so say." Mr. Anderson explained to the agitated negro that the proceeding was merely formal and Schulter waived preliminary examination. After listening to the reading of the information charginb him with the murder of Henry Williams, Schulter was taken back to jail. To the editor and a representative of the Times, Schulter gave his version of the horrible affair shortly before his appearance in Justice Stockton's court. The negro was pitifully agitated. When asked why he killed his wife and his father-in-law Schulter said that if he had been at himself he would never have committed the deed. "I told my wife I was going down town and asked her for two dollars that she had. She said that I was not to go down town and she would not give me the money. We had some words. Perhaps I used a swear word. Then her father came in and began to beat me with a crutch and I began to cut. I was putting the razor in the bureau drawer in the front room when the trouble began. I always take a razor home with me Saturday night in order to shave Monday morning." "Who did you cut first?" was the next question put to Schulter. "I don't know, I couldn't say," was Schulter's reply. "I simply went crazy. I don't know whom I cut first, how badly I had cut them or whether they were dead or not. I was not drunk at the time. There are brushes on my arms from pap's crutch. He was stronger than I even if he did have rheumatism." Schulter said that his father lived in Leredo, Texas, that a sister lived in St. Louis and that he had a brother in San Antonio, but stated that he had not heard from them in a long time. He told the story of his arrest saying that he waited quietly in the yard un-Office Mitchell came. Neighbors however tell an entirely different story from that given out by Schulter. A representative of the Times visited the scene of the killing Monday morning and learned from eye witnesses the details of the shocking tragedy. Bertle Davenport, a Colored woman who lives at 409 North Fifth street, said that her attentions were attracted by Ida Schulter running out on the porch and screaming for an officer. Then the wounded woman slowly sank to the porch floor falling with her head in the doorway. Schulter run out of the house and crept under the rear room. Almost instantly Uncle Henry Williams staggered to the north end of the porch and feel at his daughter's feet. Rev. C. W. Newton, pastor of the Colored Baptist church, who lives at 405 North Fifth street, reached the couple before they died. Rev. Newton says that the woman lived fifteen or twenty minutes after gaining the porch, but that her father, who was terribly mutilated, died before his daughter expired. The alarm was given by Bertie Davenport, but the police were really notified by Clifford Read, who happened to be in the vicinity. Another important fact developed Monday morning when Ellen Davenport, colored, who lives at 411 North Fifth, informed a representative of the Times that on Sunday morning she had heard Schulter say that he intended to kill Aunt Julie Williams, his wife's mother, if she did not quit kicking up trouble. Tom Jones, one of the best known of Columbia's colored citizens, son of The Kansas City Sun Aunt Julie Williams, informed the Times that he was in the house shortly before the killing and noticed nothing wrong with Schulter though he says that he had frequently warned his mother that Schulter was both desperate and treacherous. Uncle Henry Williams, the dead man, was in his eighty-fifth year and was one of the most respected colored men in Columbia. Those that know Schulter say that he is a Texas Mexican half breed, his father being a Mexican citizen of Texas. Schulter has been in Columbia about seven years and has been married to the wife whom he killed four years. The double funeral was held Wednesday from the Second Baptist church and was largely attended. Rev. E. S. Redd and Rev. C. A. Newton officiated. Dr. J. H. Williams of Kansas City, a son of Mrs. Ella Maupin of Macon, a daughter were here to attend the funeral—Columbia Times. PAUL W. WHITWORTH Who suffered serious injury by falling down the stairs at Allen Chapel parsonage last week, but who is recovering nicely to the joy of his friends, who are mylad. A FAIR PROPOSITION When the editor has written some article that please you, and has given space in his paper to some undertaking in which you are interested, don't you think it would be but a fair return to buy a few extra copies at 5 cents each to send to your friends, rather than borrow up all the neighbors' papers to send away? suggests the Gilliam Globe. It's barely possible that they want it for themselves. We always print a few extras, and on special occasions quite a number, which we are glad to sell as long as the supply lasts. ANNUAL CONFERENCE. Bakersfield, Cal., Sept.—The 47th session of the California Conference, which passed into history on last Sunday evening, was in every respect a record breaking assembly. The churches of the Conference, without exception, forged ahead of all previous marks. Total Dollar Money reported, $1,464.25, an increase of $189.30 over last year. Children's Day, $152.02; educational purposes, $345.20; missions, $613.53, of which the women alone raised $216.00 and various amounts for other purposes, making the grand total money brought to this session, $2,740.62. The number of conversions and the increase in membership, within the bounds of the Conference were equally as gratifying as the financial record made. The 1915 Conference will be held at San Francisco in New Bethel. There were but few changes in pastors. The Bishop, H. B. Parks, was so well pleased with the work of the pastors that it seems as though he thought it best to leave all to work their same fields for another year. Most of the appointments were as follows: First Church, Los Angeles—Rev N. P. Gregga, D. D. First Church, Pasadena—Rev. W. W. S. Dvett, D. D. First Church, Oakland—Rev. F. J. Peck, D. D.

MEETS KANSAS The elite of Kansas City on last Monday night once more enjoyed a charming social party with Mr. and Mrs. Fortune J. Weaver as host and hostess. Miss Lalla Williams, an attractive-young woman of Philadelphia was the guest of honor. Between the hours of 7 and 11, bevy after bevy of beautiful girls attended by well dressed young men, came and filled the spacious "gym" room and lobby at Garrison Square, and to the strains of popular music tripped the light fantastic and made merry the fleeting hours. Mrs. Weaver in her elegant and graceful manner made the Square seem more homelike and comfortable than ever. Prof. J. C. Hobbs, the ever well appearing and popular dancing master of Kansas City, assisted in managing the floor. During the intermission a short program was rendered: Solo by Mr. Burden, accompanied by Prof. Robt. G. Jackson; piano solo by Miss Buelah Douglass; and a vocal solo by the guest of honor, Miss Williams, who sang "The Slave Song" by T. Del Riego, and was given an encore at the end of which she was persented a beautiful bouquet of roses, asters and gladiolas. Dancing then continued until the closing hour. Delicious punch was served during the evening. A number of affable matrons attended the Weaver party and their presence made the affair all the more pleasant. Everyone went home feeling that they had spent a most enjoyable evening. MR. EDWARD DENNIS Pianist—Baritone will open his teaching season September 21, 1914. 917 Vine St. Kansas City, Mo. MR.

Men and Women of Affairs Among the Negroes of Kansas City, Mo., Kansas City, Kass., and Vicinity. Artistically designed, illustrated and written by Negroes, of Negroes, for Negroes and all mankind. Short history of Negroes of Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri by eminent Negro writers. Let the production not only come from Negroes, but let us benefit ourselves by it. Let creation's treasures of self dependence, contribute to the Negroes' splendid attainments manly achieved and modestly enjoyed. It is a common thing for daily newspapers in articles and editorials to misrepresent, discredit or minimize the good features of our racial life; while the bad phases of action among us are exaggerated, exalted and given space. Many, many worthy and honorable things are suppressed daily, which to be printed, would bless all mankind. Such hidden matters should be brought to life! By whom? Shall we be babes always? Or now acquit ourselves as men? Men and Women of Affairs—Negroes The same argument used against Negroes producing this book if dill gently pursued will displace the Negro musician, the Negro lawyer, the Negra real estate man, the Negro doctor, by way of depreciation and Negro discrimination against himself. What will men oppose themselves? Belittles themselves? Does an Irishman produce the history of the Jews? The Turks the epic English works Absurd! It is an insult to the intelligence of the Negro to his self dependence and a direct slap at his very manhood for "a man is a man," to allow an race to do what the Negro should do himself. Prof. J.

Ransom, Dr. W. A. Bowren, Dr. R. C. Hay, Dr. D. J. E. Perry, Dr. W. H. Thom as and Dr. R. A. Adams, and a host of others equally notable among the Negroes, propose to write the book Negroes to set the type; and Negroes to publish the book from beginning to end. What say you neighbor? By a Fifty years from slavery as free men; fifty years from ignorance as meh of intellectuality; fifty years from poverty as men of affluence; fifty years from obscurity as men of recognition; fifty years from heathen paganism as men of the highest christian civilization; fifty years from sweatof brawn only, to sweat of brain enjoying the highest attainments "for the best" in the dignity, beauty and truth of all honest effort, whether in the commercial, industrial, professional, business or christian field of action. Philosophically HOW TO SECURE GOOD ATTENDANCE AT THE LODGE. These rules must be followed exactly to succeed: 1. Have the lodge room convenient, comfortable, scrupulously clean and attractive. 2. The Master must know the work and lectures perfectly, and perform the work impressively. Slouchy, slipshod work will ruin any business. He must see that his officers know their duties and perform them properly; and conduct the business according to the rules, without talking too much in the chair or letting matters drag. 3. The secretary must be prompt, efficient, affable—permit no one to get behind in dues and make his record and reports in a neat, business way on time. 4. The deacons must welcome and accommodate visiting brethren and members and see that others are also attentive. 5. Members must make an effort to be orderly and social. 6. Once or more a year have a public reception or entertainment, and make it a good one—creditable to the fraternity. 7. Four times a year have light refreshments and devote a half hour to social features, or a smoker. It pays. 8. At lodge meetings have a ten-minute, no longure, talk or address on Masonic subjects, if there is time, but give the "talker" due notice, telling him to be fully prepared and not to occupy more than ten minutes. If he does, call him down. 9. Occasionally, when there is time, let one who is qualified, read some selection from the Journal or a Masonic book, and if desired have a half hour discussion of it. 10. Never be tiresome, encourage all to participate in the business, etc., and keep the talkee, talkee fellow within bounds. 11. Don't keep late hours or let things drag. Have a live meeting if it does not last more than half an hour. S. WOODS. is confined to his home by illness and any friends call and see him. Men and Women of Affairs—Negroes The same argument used against Negroes producing this book if diligently pursued will displace the Negro musician, the Negro lawyer, the Negro real estate man, the Negro doctor, by way of depreciation and Negro discrimination against himself. Why will men oppose themselves? Beltleth themselves? Does an Irishman produce the history of the Jews? The Turks the epic English works is an insult to the intelligence of the Negro—to his self dependence and a direct slap at his very manhood, for "a man is a man," to allow any race to do what the Negro should do himself.

Adams, and a host of others equally notable among the Negroes, propose to write the book; Negroes to set the type; and Negroes to publish the book from beginning to end. What say you neighbor? By all that is right, logical, fair, manly and honorable, who should write and publish our book and profit by it? Us or others? If you stand for Negro enterprise, manhood and womanhood, support E. A. Robinson and the men behind him, who over a year ago planned such a book. The Crosthwait Floral Co. wishes to inform its patrons and friends that they are now located at 1801 East Eighteenth street.

Cattell, city statistician.

A NEW FEATURE OF THE LEAGUE ENTERPRISE We have secured the agency of the Douglas Hand Laundry and we expect to hake ourselves felt in this line of work. There is no good reason why we should not handle 90 percent of the Colored people's laundry. We have appointed our store to accommodate our customers and the new additions (which were necessary) are in harmony with the high standard of neatness and order which is peculiar to the League Enterprise. We could have put in an agency long ago for some white laundry employing white girls and boys, but we refused, preferring to wait for a concern that employs Colored girls and boys. Note — We are first in demonstrating the Negro for the Negro handling more goods, playing a more conspicuous part in real Negro economics than any other place in town. Our display windows are not only the most attractive street, but rival in real values the downtown stores; every article displayed is something you need and must have. Today we have on sale at regular prices, supplies for the sochol, such as Webster tablets, note books, composition books, pens, pencils and many other useful things. Yes, we have new pictures, beautiful, oh, so beautiful. "A Mother's Love," "Unforgotten Heroes," and "A Busy Day." This last one is quite interesting. It seems to be "sweet," "cute," beautiful," and everything according to comment overheard in front of our place by onlookers. Come and see this picture. Only 35 cents will secure one for your home. Good bargains on every picture or book in the house. Remember you can call us on the Bell phone, East 1521, or you can call on us at 1521 East Eighteenth street.

THE VALUE OF PROPER HOME TRAINING. (By Dennis S. Thompson.) Home is the first and most important school of character, and it is there that every individual receives their best moral training, or their worst, for it is there that is imbibed the principles of conduct which endure through manhood and cease only with life. It is a common saying that "manners make the man," and there is a second that "the mind makes the man," but truer than either is a third that "homes make the man." For the home training includes not only manners and mind, but character as well, and it is mainly in the home that the heart is opened, the habits are formed, the intellect is awakened, and character moulded for good or for evil. From this source, be it pure or impure, issue the principles and maxims that govern society. Law itself is but the reflex of homes; the tiniest bits of opinion sown in the minds of children, in private life, afterwards issue forth to the world, and become its public opinion, for nations are gathered out of nurseries, and they who hold the leading strings of children may even exercise a greater power than those who wield the reins of government. The child's character is the nucleus of the man's; after all, education is but superposition; the form of the crystal remains the same. Thus the saying of the poets holds true in a large degree, "The child is the father of the man"; or as Milton puts it, "The childhood shows the man, as morning shows the day." Those impulses to conduct which last the longest and are rooted the deepest, always have their origin near our birth. It is then that the germs of virtues or vices, of feelings or sentiment are first implanted which determine the character of life. Thus homes which are nurseries of children who grow up into men and women, will be good or bad according to the power that governs them. Where the spirit of love and duty pervades the home, where head and heart bear rule wisely there, where the daily life is honest and virtuous, where the government is sensible, kind and loving, then we may expect from such a home an issue of healthy, useful and happy beings, capable as they gain the requisite strength, of following the footsteps of their parents, of walking uprightly, governing themselves wisely, and contributing to the welfare of those about them. On the other hand if surrounded by ignorance, coarseness and selfishness, they unconsciously assume the same character, and grow up to adult years rude, uncultivated and all the more dangerous to society if placed amidst the manifold temptations of what we call civilized life. "Give your child to be educated by a slave," said an ancient Greek, "and instead of one slave you will have two." The poorest dwelling, presided over by a virtuous, thrifty, cheerful and cleanly woman, may thus be the abode of comfort, virtue and happiness; it may be the scene of every ennobling relation in family life; it may be endeared to man by many delightful associations, furnishing a sanctuary for the heart, a refuge from the storms of life, a sweet resting place after labor, a consolation in misfortune, a pride in prosperity, and a joy at all times. The good home is thus the best of schools, not only in youth, but also in age. There young and old best learn cheerfulness, patience, self-control and the spirit of service and of duty. The home is the true school of courtesy, of which woman is always the best instructor. Philanthropy radiates from the home as from a center. To love the little platoon we belong to in society is the germ of all public affections. The wisest and best have not been ashamed to own it to be their greatest joy and happiness to sit behind the heads of children in the inviolate circle of home. The best regulated home is always that in which the discipline is the most perfect, and yet where it is the least felt. Moral discipline acts with the force of a law of Nature. Those subject to it yield themselves to it unconsciously; and though it shapes and forms the whole character, until the life becomes crystallized in habit, the influence thus exercised is for the most part unseen, and almost un'eilt. It is a fact very much to be regretted that so many parents, and children as well, do not recognize the value of proper training in the home. We have about come to the place where the church, the school, the home and society have become slaves to the children, instead of the children profiting through the influence wielded by the various branches of religious and educational uplift. In many instances the parent gives the child the proper home training, but they are handicapped because of outside influences that are generally exercised by persons of ill design. One fact, however, stands out in bold relief, which cannot be disputed, and that is we are not placing enough race literature at the disposal of our children. If the child has no knowledge of the higher achievements of the race, and the best efforts that are being put forth by the race, what interest can it have in the better order of things? It is the duty of parents and those having the care of children, to impress upon their minds, the importance of working for higher things; if it is noticed that a child has some good work in it, which study and labor might bring out, teach it the value of self-denial and the application of its energies to the culture of its intellect. It is astonishing how much carefulness, thrift, the reading of proper books and diligent application will help such children onward. Too many parents expect the world outside to do for their children what ought to be done in the home. H.Taylor Herrard Industries Washington KANSAS CITY' LEADING NEGRO TAILOR. Drafts Pointed Letter to Those Desir- ing First Class Workmanship. ONLY EXPERTS EMPLOYED. This Institution Should Receive the Support Which It Richly Deserves. To those who wear clothes:— I desire to announce that we now have on display at our establishment, 1605 East 18th street, as fine a line of Suit Samples as have ever been shown in the city. Every sample shown is either from the famous Detmer or Taylor Mills, which is guarantee superior in fabric. I have lately secured the service of Kansas City's expert cutter whose cutting and fitting ability is unsurpassed in this section. He cut for years for the most exclusive tailoring shop in Kansas City, where the cheapest suits were made at a cost not less than $50. It has been no small effort to secure such exclusive patterns and a cutter like the one above mentioned, all of which is an advantage to you. The thought has often occurred to me since moving to Kansas City, that the Negro rightfully boasts of his fine schools, able teachers, drug stores, physicians, dentists, and in fact successful men in every phase of life's endeavor; but where do they buy their clothes? I have wondered what each individual thinks of his own efficiency. If he were in business would he want the support of his fellow men? This establishment is not disposed to "knock or run down" any of like nature in Kansas City. Our policy is "All men up." It is a lamentable fact, however, that a press table and iron, with positively no knowledge of tailoring, has been quite sufficient for some entering this much abused field of labor. The Golden Steam Dye Works in its every appointment proves to the contrary. Every workman employed is an expert in his line. You take no chances here, we guarantee every job from the insertion of the smallest patch to the cleaning and making of the most expensive garments. Here you get the largest values for the money we ask you to pay. We are asking that you stop in. Ring our phone; yes, give us a trial that we may demonstrate our superiority in this line. Respectfully, G. V. GOLDEN, Prop. Bell Phone, East 539. 1605 E. 18th St. How dear to our heart is the steady subscriber Who pays in advance at this time of each year, Who lays down the money and does it quite gladly, And casts 'round the office a halo of cheer. He never says—"Stop it, I cannot afford it, I'm getting more papers now than I can read;" But always says—"Send it, our people all like it— In fact we all think it a help and a need." How welcome this when it reaches our sanctum, How it makes our pulse throb, how it makes our heart dance; De outwardly thank him; we inwardly bless him— The steady subscriber who pays in J.C.

Church, Sanford and EDITORIALS It has been the studied policy of organized labor to keep the Negro back in all his aspirations along the lines of higher vocational progress, notwithstanding the undeniable talent which many of our race have shown for such culture. No people have ever shown a greater degree of adaptability or a higher cosmopolitan usefulness than ours. If it is expected that we shall become true economic factors in the citizenship of the country all these foolish prejudices and restrictions which bind us down should be discarded. Those who so ardently declare their good wishes for our well fare should as ardently assist us with opportunities. Any policy tending to general advancement which ignores on overlocks the most industrious and ambitious element therein is very shallow and unworthy. The Board of Education is increasing the number of vocational centers for the benefit of white children and it is hoped that similar consideration for colored pupils will not be lacking. Of course, the school authorities do not share in the deep southern notion that Negroes should not have training leading to the higher vocations. Such notions can hardly find place in progressive Kansas City, where it has always been the policy to offer equal educational advantages and opportunities to black and white. The "hewers of wood and drawers of water" assignment for our people and any treatment having the semblance of Jim-crowism will be a serious impeachment of the practical intelligence as well as the fair-mindedness of the dominant race. Some history were better forgotten than remembered. Any lore or song which recalls the ignorance and degradation in which we floundered during the days of our inhuman enslavement should be forgotten. There is no sensible reason for parading these through the guise of folk-lore simply because they amuse someone who has never felt their sting. This "nigger" playing whether by ignorant or so-called intelligent members of our race has no possible value to us and is without excuse. Much of what we call lore is merely the echoing of lost souls, wallings of broken spirits and grounings of dismal hearts. All this was doubled music to other ears but should not ring into the ears of our children. It should all be forgotten. The charity carnival undertaken by the friends of Wheaty-Provident hospital, was a total failure from a financial standpoint. The weather continued bad during the entire period and attendance was practically impossible. The automobile contest will be continued, however, and will end with a big entertainment at a later date.

Smith, our druggist, who is located on the busy busier of 18th and Tracy. If you belong to that class of men and women who think and do things, don't ever be guilty of saying that you have never visited this up-to-date store. His latest creation is the Tango Sundae on a Blazer, 15 cents. This is a combination of the best fruits and fruit syrups incorporated with ice cream and capped with angel cake, served in gold and silver containers under a bamboo tree among gleaming electric lights and before the breeze of an electric fan. This is irresistible. The following is a list of distin guished guests and popular society people who have visited and declared the Tango Sundae to be the most delicious they have ever eaten. Is Your Name In the List? Y. M. C. A. NOTES "Sociability" is the subject to be discussed by Mr. S. S. Kay at the Sunday men's meeting, September 20. A large attendance is expected to hear this address by one so well adapted to talk on this topic. Mr. C. D. Frazier, one of the first members of the Association, who now resides in Grand Canyon, Ariz., visited the Association this week and went through the building, which is now nearing completion. The magnitude of the plant filled him with amazement. He paid his membership for two years. Mr. B. H. Lillard, an active worker of the Association, a graduate of Lincoln Institute and the agricultural department of Tuskegee, upon the recommendation of Booker T. Washington, has been called to Geo. R. Smith College at Sedalia, to take charge of the Department of Agriculture of this school. The best wishes of the Association go with "Professor" Lillard.

First their work, unexcelled by any of the larger and best equipped printing establishments, make a specialty of this class of work. Second, while their prices are lower than the average, ways the fairest. They have "delivered" with accuracy and despatch to over 90 per cent of the class of work.

"I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly."—National Y. W. C. A. Motto. Our 3 o'clock Vesper service will begin on Sunday, September 20. All women and girls are invited to attend. Special music under direction of Mrs. R. Tobias Smith. The service will last one hour and will be held in the Assembly rooms of our Association at Fifth and State avenue. Our women and girls are showing unusual interest in the gymnasium work of the Association. The General Secretary will be glad to register those of the last yelar classes or new pupils daily throughout this month. The classes will be conducted as usual at the Central Y. W. C. A. gymnasium, but all registration fees like the Y. W. C. A. membership, must be paid at this office. Membership—Y. W. C. A., $1 a year; gymnasium fee, $1.50 for gym year. For girls—Y. W. C. A., 50 cents for year; for girls gym fee, 50 cents for gym year. The entire cost for a young woman, $2.50. It costs a girl over twelve years, $1.00 to hold membership in the Y. W. C. A. and in the gymnasium classes. This is a splendid opportunity for our women and girls. No one would dare undervalue either the corrective or developing work of the gym class. The physical director is from Oregon University. Our young folks get for less than half the fee the same instruction as those of the whites and the use of the gymnasium. Our Bible study classes will open week beginning October 4. The religious committee, Mrs. J. W. Jacobs, chairman, met Wednesday morning and began its preparations for fall work.

The Association started this month with a small balance which was encouraging to say the least. Our subscribers will favor us by mailing checks in payment of pledges to "Yates Branch of the Young Women's Christian Association." Fifth and State, Kansas City.

"The new minister is a good deal of a stick," pronounced flirtatious and self-conceited Myrtle Farr. "Oh, I don't think that," immediately dissected Rhoda Evans. "He is certainly shy, but you must remember what strangers we are to him. He certainly makes up for his reticence and youth with those beautiful sermons he preaches." Myrtle gave Rhoda a quizzing look in her usual shrewd, suspicious way, but her pretty friend, quiet, smiling as ever, evinced no indication by blush or eye quiver of any particular interest in the Rev. Arnold Joyce. Myrtle voiced the sentiment of a goodly portion of her set. A new minister was a new source of animation for the village, especially an eligible marriageable one. They had come of all sorts in the past and had lent variation and new ideas to the common life. There had been the sporting type, the tea drinking, the perfect ladies' man, even the bluff, intensely human, political, smoking and boxing species. They had come and gone rapidly, falling into the matrimonial net set for them and fading away into broader fields of labor through the needs of married life and the results of family influence. "Why, this Mr. Joyce doesn't seem to even notice us young ladies—bolts off with the men whenever there is an entertainment." "I think that is only natural bashfulness," said Rhoda. She smiled to herself gently as Myrtle left her. Rhoda could have exulted A man in a suit sits on a bench, looking to the side. He is surrounded by trees and a table with papers. Could Not Help But Trace the Lines. over her if that had been her way. It was not and she ingenuously kept to herself the belief that in her company at least, when alone with her, Mr. Joyce was a different person to what he was amid a group of vain, admiration seeking young ladies. Rhoda was in charge of a charity committee and she had spent some delightful hours telling her hopes and troubles to an ardent listener and sympathizer, Mr. Joyce himself. They were in perfect harmony. She had noted his shyness disappearing and his face brighten when they were together. Then, too, as they grew more friendly and confidential, the finer features of the new minister's qualities had come out. There was no silly romance between them. He evidently craved her company and she was never happier than when they were together. Then, one day when she accidentally dropped a rose from her corsage and saw him furtively secure and hide it, her senses thrilled and she wondered if in the depths of that retiring nature there was a secret chamber that cherished her solely. The Rev. Mr. Joyce took a solitary stroll one beautiful afternoon. He was lost in sober reflection all the protracted tramp. Then suddenly he arrived at a conclusion. "She seems to enjoy my company," he soliloquized, "and I—ah! I must not go on loving her if it is to only meet with final disappointment." Then, after further deliberate citation, he murmured: "Yes. I will know my fate today." Mr. Joyce proceeded straight to the vine enbowered cottage with its pretty garden grounds that sheltered the idol of his soul. A servant told him that Miss Evans had run over to a neighbor's, offered to go for her and led the caller to a little summer house where there was shade and coolness. Mr. Joyce sat in a comfortable rustic chair, though decidedly uncomfortable himself. He was trying to formulate his first appearance in a vital and unfamiliar line. The prospective proposal of marriage fairly upset his usual serenity. Then casually he noted writing utensils on the little table at his side. Rhoda had evidently brought her correspondence to this choice retreat to attend to. And then his eyes became fixed, despite his will, upon a single page of a letter that lay outpread and held flat under an ink stand. He could not help but trace the lines: "—glad to believe this Mr. Joyce is a splendid man in your estimation, but, oh! I cannot help but think all of the time of my true fiance. You must keep our engagement secret, for it is not to be known for a year and—" Mr. Joyce arose from his seat, suddenly realizing that he was viewing disclosures he had no right to surreptitiously scan. He was white to the lips. He staggered where he stood. His trembling hand for a moment crossed his closed eyes as if to shut out some sudden scene of blight to all his fondest hopes. "Already engaged—she is writing to a friend," he greased and then quickly he made for a side hedge, got through it, hurried to his home and shut himself up in his darkened study. Rhoda, advised by the servant, came tripping towards the summer house in a quiver of pure delight. She was dismayed at the inexplicable disappearance of her visitor. She did not see him all the rest of that week. Sunday morning a substitute took his place in the pulpit. "Have you heard the news?" inquired Myrtle, with her usual gossiping buoyancy meeting Rhoda on the street. "Concerning what?" inquired Rhoda. "Mr. Joyce. He is ill, they say, and Deacon Brown says he is talking of resigning his charge." "Oh, surely not!" burst forth Rhoda irrepressibly. "What! so far gone as that?" derided her tormentor. "I hope they send a more impressible successor." Rhoda went home with a strange pain at heart. She never realized how much she thought of Arnold Joyce until that moment. Somehow a suggestion of mystery, of trouble for the man she respected and believed in crossed her mind. "He is ill, he needs friends surely now, if ever," reasoned Rhoda and within an hour was at the rectory. Its door was open, no servant appeared. She penetrated to the corridor beyond and glanced into the study. There sat Arnold Joyce at a reading table. He held something in his hand, his eyes fixed regarding it. She saw what it was—a rose, the one she had seen him secrete. Suddenly, sadly he crushed its brittle leaves to powder and murmured the words. "Rhoda—good-by!" "Oh, Mr. Joyce! cried Rhoda impulsively, her heart full to overflowing, "you are ill? You are going away?" "I am being punished," he said gravely. "Punished—for what?" she inquired. "For reading a written page telling of the fiance I never guspected. I could not help it. And since then—" His face fell into his hands. Rhoda knew the truth. "Oh, a letter I had received from my cousin." "Then—" "Then you have misunderstood," said Rhoda and turned her blushing face away. Arfold Joyce did not leave Millville. Why should he—when there, always by his side, was his helper, his wife? (Copyright, 1814, by W. G. Chamman.) LEARN HOW TO READ WELL Absorption of Thought, Not the Hurried Glancing Over Printed Pages, Is to Be Desired. When Bacon wrote, "Reade not to contradict and refute, nor to believe and to take for granted, nor to finde talke and discourse, but to weigh and consider," he uttered sage counsel which most of us might well take to heart. In this century of ours, when speed is such an important element in the daily round, this statement, with all its force and philosophy, is likely to fall on deaf ears; for the reading public of the present day, while having a taste in general for learning, is not prone to regard it as an art or a matter for serious contemplation. Yet this state of things is to be deplored; for what greater pleasure is there in the whole field of education than to read a book critically, with the object not only of getting out of it all that its author would convey, but to ponder his reasoning? The advantages of a course of reading such as this may not at the moment be apparent, but it will surely lead the reader into realms of which hitherto he has been oblivious. The —is a noble exercise and one that will task the reader more than any exercise which the customs of the day esteem. It requires a training such as the athletes underwent, the steady intention almost of the whole life to this object. Books must be read as deliberately and reservedly as they were written."—Exchange. Salling for Women. Every year the number increases of women who can not only handle a boat but who own their neat little craft, enjoying this latest invasion into manly sports. A group of New York women whose husbands are members of the Bayside Yacht club own a quant little fleet of sailboats known as the "Butterfly Fleet," each boat being named after a butterfly, beginning with the "Vanessa" of Mrs. Willard McGregor, whose husband designed the style of boat for his wife's pleasure after she had learned to handle his catboat. They are just large enough to hold the skipper and one passenger, and it is a pretty sight to see the miniature fleet assemble for a race. Fire Extinguisher. It was quite by accident that the discovery was made that ammonia would extinguish burning oil. A bottle of ammonia saved a family great loss by fire. The gasoline stove sprung a leak and the fluid caught fire, spreading rapidly. One of the older children coming into the room could not reach the sink and get water to throw over the blaze as he thought ought to be done, but had enough presence of mind to pour over it the contents of an ammonia bottle that stood near. As it happened, it was the very best thing he could have done, as it quickly extinguished the fire which water could not do. Now the family keeps ammonia on hand in a two-quart sealed jar, anticipating the time when it may be needed again for the same purpose. Sidelights on the Ball "Madame, the musicians want something more to drink." "Certainly not! Do they think they are paid to make the bottles dance?" —Le Rire (Paris).

After due consideration one is constrained to ponder as to whether we have ever had anything better since then. A century and more have faded into the past since this coiffure played its part, along with other super-excellent modes, which helped the beauties of Napoleon's time to immortalize their charms. This pretty arrangement of the hair in waves and short curls is not intended to be worn with workday clothes in the prosaic business of everyday living. It is an affair of evening dress, when satins and laces and jewels and flowers bespeak joyous apparel. Mille.

Vestes and collars in one, or collars alone, are the dominating features in fall neckwear, and they are shown in many fabrics and a still greater number of designs. Nearly all of these smart accessories are made of washable fabrics, although fragile chiffons and silk muslins and the finest of silk crepes are utilized to make the short-lived glory of some of them. But crisp freshness and immaculate cleanliness belong to the vestee and collar; are the essential reasons for their existence, in fact, so that all the finest and sheerest of wash fabrics are employed in their making. These include organdle, swiss, thin lawns, swiss embroidery, batiste, mulls, nets, volles and laces. The choice is wide enough. Collars and vestees made the firmer weaves in wash fabrics are finished with hematitching and often decorated with tucks. Insertions and narrow edgings, of fine lace or the finest embroideries are used on them. The daintiest of these neck pieces are prettily ornamented with sprays of A Rose on the Shoulder. A rose on the shoulder is the latest whim of fashionable milady. Of course, the rose matches or harmonizes with the gown or its trimming. For example, a white tulle dancing costume with a pink sash has a pink rose caught against the shoulder; a yellow dance gown with which jet beads are worn is embellished with a yellow and black rose; a deep American beauty rose may lend color to a black tulle gown. Sometimes the shoulder roses are interchangeable, snap-button --- coat is of brocaded satin in rose color, bordered with a ruche of plaited maline. She wears a more girdle of rose color, also.

This waved portion is brought to the back of the head and arranged in loose, flat coils pinned flat below the crown. The hair over the ears is separated into strands and curled in three rather tight curls. A strand of pearls, finished with three settings at the front, is clasped round the head. Below it across the forehead there is a slightly curled fringe of hair. Almost any fairly youthful face will find all its good points enhanced by a style of hair dressing so remarkably good that it challenges the classic models of the Greeks and divides honors with them. ars in Fall Styles embroidery. Narrow plated frills make possible a great variety in decoration. Hemstitching, embroidered dots, and small pearl or covered buttons are additional factors that go to make up the endless variety one finds in neckwear. Roll-over collars are leaders in popularity, combined either with long vestees or short dickies. Severe designs, like that shown in the picture given here, of sheer organdie, are charmingly delicate. A plain roll-over collar to which net ties are attached is decorated with tiny black pearl buttons and makes a stunning finish for a tailored gown. Vestees and roll-over collars of plique are compelling attention. Recently dress sets showing collar and cuffs to match, or collar, vestee and cuffs, proclaim the revival of an old but fine style, well worthy of a new vogue.

In the first place it is claimed that race antipathy has served the purpose of keeping the blood of a race pure, and thus securing its superiority. This claim presupposes that one race is superior to another by its very constitutional endowments, and, therefore, the superior and the inferior races are kept apart by race antipathy. Again, it is held by others, on far better grounds, that race antipathy has served to preserve the life of races. The various races once lived largely in a hostile environment. They were obliged to be on guard always against foes. War was their main business, and suspicion the rule of their life. Race antipathy at this level was the fighting instinct and made for race preservation. Once more, it is maintained by others that race antipathy has made for the conservation of particular cultural values. These values are held to be dependent upon certain races, not only for their production, but also for their conservation. Now it may be admitted that race antipathy has served, very largely, to keep the races separate, but it is quite evident that it has failed in millions of instances in our land and elsewhere in the world and in all periods of history. Wherever there has been intermixture of races, through illicit intercourse, there antipathy has failed. Where it is desirable, at present, to keep members of widely divergent races from intermarriage, it is better to create moral barriers, those of reason and character, than to depend upon race antipathy. And where it is desirable that members of races more closely allied should intermary, race antipathy may hinder race virility, diversity and progress. Thus race antipathy is inadequate for restraint at the lower levels, and on the higher levels it may prove detrimental to civilization. In like manner, we may admit that race antipathy has made for race preservation at one level and under certain conditions, without being forced to concede that it is necessary now. We are on a higher level, and race preservation is better secured through reason and character than through mutual aversion. The member of a persecuted race or a racial group or a backward race is better protected today by its moral character and the conscience of humanity. There was a huge parade on Labor day by the colored branch of the International Longshoremen and Cotton Jammers, an organization recently established in Indianapolis.

Daily Thought. I go at what I am about as if there was nothing else in the world for the time being. That is the secret of all hard-working men.—C. Kingsley. An electric railroad in Peninsula Bay has adopted cars that may be used either for freight or passengers, the seats folding against the sides. The Among the conclusions reached by Mr. Alexander Bettis of South Carolina, principal of the Bettis academy, was that flocking to town was fundamentally bad for the negro. He constantly affirmed that the best place for the colored man was on the land as a tiller of the soil. He was also certain that labor on the land should be intelligently performed, therefore the young men and women of the race should be educated according to their practical needs. Opportunities for such education existed after a fashion in the towns and cities. According to the Bettis theory of the fitness of things, sending young people from the country to be educated to work on the farms was logically foolish and morally mischievous. Reasoning in rather a straight line, this preacher concluded that the thing to do was to bring adequate educational opportunity to the people of the country. Hp knew that his theory was right, but applying it was not easy. Bettis believed that part of the business of life was to meet obstacles and emergencies and throw them off the track. Manifestly the first thing to do was to make a beginning. This he did by securing enough land for a nucleus. This negro preacher knew his own limitations, and that he did not know how to manage an educational institution. His next step was to select and equip two young men for this task. They were sent first to the Schofield Normal and Industrial Institute at Aiken, one of the first schools established in the South for the education of the negro. Then they took courses in Atlanta university. One of them died soon after Bettis' academy was started. Twenty-eight years ago the surviving young man, Alfred W. Nicholson, took charge of the institution, and ever since then the story of success in individual equipment and land development clusters around this man and his wife. The plant of Bettis' academy has been a growth like Topsy. From the small beginning of one primitive building the plant has expanded into a cluster of buildings, plain, to be sure, but suited, if not adequate, to the substantial educational work which the school fosters. Falling or jumping down a 55-foot well on the farm of his father, the four-year-old son of B. Frank Minch, near Beebe Run, showed such pluck and courage that his rescue was accomplished after an exciting half-hour of work by a brave negro farm hand. The lad was playing with other children when some of them dared him to get into the box about the pump used for lowering cream and milk into the well to keep cool. Then he either fell or, under the stimulus of the dare, jumped the rest of the way. The children gave the alarm and help was quickly at hand. The colored farm hand climbed down the well by bracing his feet against the brick walls, and then he lowered a clothesline to the lad, who all that time had clung coolly and courageously to the pump box and kept his head above the water, though how he managed to grasp the pump in his fall is a mystery. The child made the line fast to his little body, and was being raised when the line broke and he fell back. He still grabbed the pump box, and a stronger line finally got him to the surface in safety.—Shiloh (N. J.) dispatch to Philadelphia Inquirer. The hererolm of the negro beltobs, who fought with suffocating clouds of smoke while they rushed through narrow hallways, banging upon doors, arousing guests and rescuing small children, probably averted serious loss of life in a fire of mysterious origin which threatened to completely destroy the Hotel Islesworth at Atlantic City, N. J. Over three hundred guests suffered heavy losses by the blaze, which swept through practically the whole of the fourth floor of the big, rambling frame structure. While the fire was at its height dense clouds of smoke swept into the dance hall on the Garden pier, three squares away, where an audience of fully 1,000 people, including guests of the Islesworth, who knew nothing of the blaze at their stopping place, were enjoying a moving-picture show. Some one yelled fire and the audience promptly stamped for the doors. In the intense excitement in the dark-end hall forty women fainted and several were trampled on, while the panic-striken audience tried to reach the exits.

HE United States, which gave to world the science of aviation, is now preparing to step into line with the other world powers and to establish an aviation corps for the defense of the nation in time of war. Up to this time the United States has been behind other nations in this matter. The American air navy has been more or less a joke. The United States, according to the latest available statistics, ranks eighth among the nations of the world with respect to her air force. By reason of a bill recently passed by the senate all this is to be changed. An aviation corps, distinct from the signal corps, in which aviators have heretofore been placed, will be formed; 60 officers are to be selected from the cream of the army and 260 privates are to be drilled in the essentials of pilots. At the same time appropriations are to be made for the construction of a number of military airships, including biplanes and dirigibles, and the more or less antiquated models now in use by the army will be relegated to the scrap heap or used only for demonstration purposes. The bill providing for the establishment of this aviation corps—the "eagles of the army"—was introduced into the house of representatives on May 16, 1913, by Representative Hay of Virginia, chairman of the house committee on military affairs, and was passed last December. The bill, backed by an appropriation of $250,000, authorized last May, gives the army signal corps, commanded by Erlg. Gen. George P. Scriven, an opportunity to go ahead with the work which has been planned.

Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 20 JUDGMENT OF THE NATIONS. LESSON TEXT-Matt. 25:31-45 GOLDEN TEXT-Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of the least, ye did it not unto Me. Matt. 25:45. 1. The Congregation, vv. 31-33. This is one of the difficult and much-controverted passages of our Lord's Olivet prophecy. The title "Son of Man" is one, which refers to our Lord's earthly relations and administration, and is one not otherwise used in this prophecy. Jesus is speaking to his disciples. He looks beyond the dark passion so rapidly approaching to the light of the ultimate fulfilling of his purpose for this world. Our Lord here makes no reference to the final judgment mentioned in the Apocalypse. In that hour earth and heaven will flee away. Here there is no such passing away nor do the dead appear. The son is enthroned. He administers judgment. He is assisted by the accompanying angels. The believer must appear before the judgment (II Cor. 5:10; Rom. 14:10), but his destiny is decided the moment he believes, John 5:24. Christ first came in humiliation, when he comes this time 'twilbe in "glory" (v. 31). He may come at any moment, Matt. 24:42-44. This scene is more the description of a judgment than of a trial. The testing is taking place today. Separating Test. II. Those Commended, vv. 34-40. The separating test is the attitude of the nations toward the brethren of the Lord. Here Jesus emphatically speaks of his kingship, hence the honored position, "on his right hand." In his teaching Jesus had emphasized the fact that those who do the will of God are his next of kin. Here they are, "Ye blessed of my father." This word "blessed" means, literally, "well spoken of." We are blessed of God in the heavenless in Christ, Eph. 1:3, but we are also to be blessed with an inheritance in the kingdom. See Gal. 5:19, 21; Eph. 5:5; I Cor. 6:9, 10 contrasted with II Tim. 2:2; 4:8; James 2:5; Rev. 21:7. This blessing is a gift, Luke 12:32, which has been prepared "from the foundation of the world" (v. 34). Man's destiny depends upon the object and act of his faith, but the test, the proof, the evidence of that faith is in his conduct (Gal. 5:6; James 2:17, 18). Altruism does not save the soul, but a truly saved soul will be compassionately serviceable. It is ours to assuage the thirst, John 4:14, 6:55; ours to feed the hungry, John 4:14, 6:35; ours to receive the stranger, Eph. 2:13, 18; 6:49; ours to clothe the naked, Isa. 1:68, 74; ours to visit the sick, Luke 1:68, 78; and ours to visit the prisoner, Luke 4:18. Note carefully the unconsciousness of good deeds. The Christian is so identified with Jesus Christ as to regard these deeds as not his own, but "Christ within." The real test is not so much love for God or Christ whom we have not seen, but love for the brethren whom we have seen (I John 3:17). Our attitude toward our brethren is the evidence that we have received Christ. Our life of service, though we may be "the least," will be commended before the throne and the assembled nations and angels. He is identified with "the least." This sentence needs to be interpreted in the light of the entire scene and its relationship. Those commended are sent away into an age-abiding life of felicity. The Other Side. III. Those Condemned, vv. 41-46. Turning now to the other side, what a change we behold! "Come" is now "depart," not to age-abiding joy, but to age-abiding fire, which is age-abiding punishment. We do not infer that this parable refers to the place of the departed dead, to the final judgment of sin but to the time of his second advent and that the life that is blessed and the place of punishment are on this earth during the age of his millennial reign. Such at least is as far as we feel we have a right to go in the interpretation of this parable. Those who do not listen to the "come" of Jesus now, will hear his "depart" hereafter. Notice there is no reference to the father following the curse such as we find in connection with the "blessed." Men are cursed by themselves, John 5:40. Those who seek to save themselves are likewise cursed, Gal. 3:10. The kingdom is prepared for the righteous and punishment is not prepared for man. It was prepared for the devil (41) and his cohorts. IV. The Lesson content. Admitting the difficulty of interpretation let us look at the picture. Jesus on Mount Olivet, sitting in the midst of his disciples, knew full well what was awaitting him on Calvary. Judged by human standards he was defeated and his defeat was to be made invicable by that ignominious death. So his enemies confidently believed. Yet he looks beyond the circumstance to the coming centuries and through them to the end of the age, and claims the victory. He speaks without hesitation of his hour of triumph and "glory" (v. 31), of the time of absolute authority, of almighty power, when he should administer affairs in the kingdom of God, "prepared for you from the foundation of the world." His viewpoint should be ours. We are in the last stage of his prophecy. Nations are no longer divided by dividing lines of race, language and locality. All the table is laid upon our breakfast table along with our toast and coffee. But spiritual lines of man's relation to the son of man, as manifested by their relations to his brethren who are his messengers, are beginning to make clear the lines of that ultimate cleavage which shall be declared in judgment when he comes. UNCLE SAM'S AIR NAVY HE United States, which gave to world the science of aviation, as exemplified in the experiments of the Wright brothers, is now preparing to step into line with the other world powers and to establish an aviation corps for the defense of the nation in time of war. Up to this time the United States has been behind other nations in this matter. The American air navy has been more or less a joke. The United States, water, but also from the air, steps must and should be taken to muster an air fleet absolutely second to none on either hemisphere." The reason for the selection in the Hay bill of the army for the first experiment is because the army is at present far behind the navy in attention to aviation and in the success attained by its corps. This is due to the fact that the army has been very much hampered by lack of sufficient funds and by the failure of congress to designate any single branch of the service as an aviation corps, placing the burden of the air work on the Signal corps. asphalt as the paving of future cities, according to the predation of Sir Henry Blake in opening the fourth international rubber exhibition in London. Advances in the production and manufacture of the product during the past three years have been so great as to bring within the realm of reality this Utopian suggestion. At the London exhibition everything possible was made of rubber. One entire room was completely furnished in rubber. The walls were covered with it, skillfully disguised as wall water, but also from the air, steps must and should be taken to muster an air fleet absolutely second to none on either hemisphere." The reason for the selection in the Hay bill of the army for the first experiment is because the army is at present far behind the navy in attention to aviation and in the success attained by its corps. This is due to the fact that the army has been very much hampered by lack of sufficient funds and by the failure of congress to designate any single branch of the service as an aviation corps, placing the burden of the air work on the Signal corps. The navy, on the contrary, has for some time possessed an aviation corps which has done splendid work. The recent movement of the base of this corps from Annapolis, Md., to Pensacola, Fla., has given the navy additional opportunity for excellent work. When the fleet was ordered to Vera Cruz the battleship Mississippi, which acted as the home station of the hydros, was sent south with the other fighting units of the navy, and the work of the navy's aeroplanes in the neighborhood of Vera Cruz was the subject of more than one complimentary message from Rear Admiral Fletcher. The army sent no aerialplanes to Mexico for a very good reason—it had none to send that could do the work demanded of them. The army's fleet of aerialplanes is divided into four sections, one at Galveston, Tex.; one at San Diego, Cal.; one in the Hawaiian islands and one in the Philippines. These military aerialplanes are out of date in the sense that they are capable of being used only for scouting purposes and are not fitted for either defensive or offensive purposes. In the event of an invasion of Mexico the army aerialplanes at present in use would be invaluable for use in determining the position and number of the enemy's forces. But when it came to active participation in a battle they would be practically useless, while the majority of the European air corps are fitted up with special rifle resets, ammunition carriers and munitions of war in order to repulse attack from above or to offer fight to forces on the ground. "We must start by perfecting our scouting system," is the opinion of Col. Samuel Reber, who is in charge of the present aviation squad, "as a child first learns to crawl. After that he may take up walking and then running. In the case of aviation 'running' means we will have a, fully equipped fleet of offensive airships—our actions will probably consist of anything but 'running' in the literal meaning of the word. "The advantage of the aeroplane for scouting purposes can hardly be overestimated. The military pilot seated five hundred or a thousand feet in the air is able to see points of vantage and to catch glimpses of men on the ground which would be entirely invisible either to the commander or to his scouts on the level. The number in any one detachment could be ascertained with a surprising degree of accuracy by a pilot versed in the art of war and the information which he brings back to earth would be invaluable to the commander planning his campaign for the next hour. "We have succeeded in bringing our aviation scouting operations to such a degree of success that the time is entirely ripe for the next step in the logical sequence—the establishment of a separate aviation corps which will be powerful enough to defend itself if attacked or to give battle to small bodies of men on the ground, in addition to making the highly important and immensely valuable surveys of the territory in front of the advancing army." The Hay bill provides for the creation of "an aviation corps which shall be a part of the line of the army and in which there shall be officers in number, and with rank while serving in the corps, as follows. One officer of the rank of major, who shall be the commandant of the corps and of the aviation school; two officers with the rank of captain and not to exceed 80 officers with the rank of leutenant." "No officer shall be detailed as commandant of the aviation corps unless he shall have displayed especial skill and ability as a military aviator." continues the bill, in order to make it impossible for an officer from some other branch of the army to assume charge of the corps merely through political influence. It will be remembered that Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood and Representative Hay were always at daggers drawn, and those who are familiar with this feud see an echo of it in this provision of the Hay bill. That service in the aviation corps will entail much greater danger than ordinary military training calls for is recognized in the section of the Hay bill which provides that "officers of the aviation corps shall while on duty that requires them to participate in aerial flights receive an increase of 50 per cent in the pay of their respective grades in the corps." The 50 per cent increase in pay is also extended to the enlisted men, not to exceed 260 in number, who will participate in the work of the corps. The establishment of an army aviation school is provided for. The bill says: "This aviation school shall be located and maintained at a military post owned by the United States and not within the District of Columbia." The object of excepting the District of Columbia is said to be twofold: First, to remove the school as far as possible from the influence of the bureaucracy alleged to govern the war department, and, secondly, to prevent the overcrowding of the government ground in the District. It is the hope of the men who have the interests of the American aviation corps at heart that before long the triumphs of the newly-born branch of the army will be such that congress will not be able to withstand the pleas for appropriations sufficient to place the aviation corps on an approximate level with the corresponding branches of other great armies. "What was the matter with that woman you saved from the fire?" "She was mad. Said I used brutal haste in yanking her out of the burning room." "What was the reason she didn't want to leave?" "Why, she had her poodle's hair only half curled." "What have we here?" "An article about the most beautiful girl in America. Shall we print her picture?" "No," said the magazine editor.

LIEGEBELGIAN CITY TRATEGIC points in the importance of Liege, the Belgian city before which the German advance was checked and where, according to European dispatches, the first great battle of the war was fought, are numerous. Principally it was the most strongly fortified obstacle to the supposed plan of the Germans to cut across the lower half of Belgium into French territory, but in addition to this the city is of itself a prize in many ways. In its surroundings it is the Pittsburg of Belgium. For miles to the southwest of the city, along the banks of the river Meuse, there are scores of blast furnaces, pudding furnaces, rolling mills and forges. It is the site of the famous Cockerel works, said to be the largest manufactory of machinery in the world. The Lion, erected as a monument on the field of Waterloo, some 60 miles distant, was made here. Liege proper, with a population of 168,000, lies at the junction of the Meuse and the Ourthe, in a basin margined by hills. Many handsome buildings and gardens strive to keep themselves handsome against the tremendous odds of coal dust. Surrounded by Mineral Wealth. All around the city is a wealth of coal and iron ore. The mines extend even under the city and river. These natural riches, in connection with the favorable situation of the city at the junction of two navigable rivers, have given rise to the extensive manufacturing industry in the city itself. The products are varied, but the principal one, and that which would make Liege a valuable prize of war is that of firearms. More than 20. 100 THE STREET STREET SCENE, LIEGE 400 persons in and around the city are employed in the manufacture of guns, ranging from small arms to the largest of modern weapons. There is a royal cannon factory and a small arm factory also in the suburb of St. Leonard. In the wars of the last century Liege has played only a small part, but the city itself, is defended with modern fortifications. Its strength, it is said, is far greater than has generally been appreciated by military strategists. In 1888 the Belgium authorities decided to adequately fortify both Liege and Namur, the two important points on the Meuse. At each place a number of detached forts were constructed along a perimeter drawn a distance varying from within four to six miles of the city. At Liege 12 of these forts were constructed, six on the right bank and six on the left side of the river. All of the forts have been kept fairly well up to date. The heavy guns, in their concrete casements, are raised and lowered automatically. The names of the forts on the right bank of the river are Barchon, Evegnee, Fleron, Chaudfontaine, Embourg and Boncelles. The average distance between the forts is four miles, but Fleron and Chaudfontaine are separated by little over a mile in a direct line, as they defend the main line of the railway from Germany. The six forts on the left bank, also commencing at the north, around a western curve, are Pontisse, Liers Australian State Bakery The New South Wales government has decided to supplement its enterprises by the creation of a state bakery at Sydney. The government will acquire a bakery and bake bread for its own institutions. It is expected that the government will be able to deliver bread to the public institution at one penny a pound. It is not intended to supply the general public from the government bakery. Pity the Poor Rats. Surgeon General Blue has ordered a corps of 12 rat catchers to start from San Francisco for New Orleans. These experts will carry on a campaign of rat extermination to stamp out the contagion. In six months, at a cost of $100,000, the danger of the bubonic plague will be removed. But at the cost of the lives of millions of rats! Is not that enough to stir the wrath of all the mushy-hearted people? If it is a crime to use gulnea pigs to save human life, how much more wanton is it to slay helpless, defenseless rats on the suspicion that they may be carrying the fleas that Pity the Poor Rats Lantin, Loncin, Hollogne and Flemale, it has been estimated by military authorities that 25,000 men would be necessary for an adequate defense of these fortifications today. Liege was made to figure largely in Sir Walter Scott's novel "Quentin Durward," in which Scott made a notable blunder by speaking of the people of Liege as talking Flemish. The city is, in fact, the center of the Walloon country. The Walloons are Romanized Gauls, in a much truer sense than their Flemish neighbors, and speak the French language. The city first appears in history in the sixth century, at which time a town grew up around the original chapel founded there by St. Monulph, bishop of Tongres. In the tenth century the episcopate of Notger, which had succeeded the early line, was marked by large territorial acquisitions, and the see became recognized as an independent principality of the French empire. There were many popular risings for freedom from the exactions of the episcopal sovereigns, who were also occupied in preserving neutrality in the various wars and preserving their territory from being raided by invading armies. Taken by Marlborough. They were only in part successful. Liege was taken by Marlborough in 1702, and the fortress was garrisoned by the Dutch until 1718. The French revolutionary armies overran the principality in 1792, and from 1794 to the fall of Napoleon it was annexed to France, and was known as the department of the Ourthe. The congress of Vienna in 1815 decreed that Liege, with the oth- 100 er provinces of southern Netherlands, should form a part of the new kingdom of the Netherlands under the rule of William I, of the House of Orange. The city of Liege took an active part in the Belgian revolt of 1830, and since that date the ancient principality has been incorporated into the kingdom of Belgium. The principal point of interest to the tourists in Liege has been the great cathedral, or church of St. Paul, founded in the tenth century and rebuilt in the thirteenth century. The University, founded in 1817, is one of the largest in the country and enjoys a high reputation for education in the art of mining and manufacturing. There are many beautiful gardens and the rivers are spanned by splendid bridges, but the larger portions of the city have a crowded aspect of narrow, crooked streets. The railway lines through Liege are the direct routes from Cologne to Paris and from Luxembourg to Brussels, the possession of either of which would be valuable prizes to the German army. Waterloo, the place which everybody knows as the scene of the downfall of Napoleon at the hands of the allies on the 18th of June, 1815, is not on a direct line from Liege, but lies some sixty miles from it in an air line, south of Brussels.
