VOLUME VIII. NUMBER 1. BY R. A. DAGUE. At the time I write, the daily newspapers are printing accounts of how Will Stanley, a Negro, was burned at the stake in the public square in a Texas town. He had been suspected of killing a woman and three children, but no court had made any investigation of the charges. For a negro to be even suspected of having committed a crime often results in his being lynched in some states. The daily papers said of the burning of Stanley: "A perfunctory state investigation may follow the lynching, but it is almost a foregone conclusion that such a probe will do nothing. It can not without going into almost the whole city, for fully 10,000 were in the mob and got vengeance on Stanley. His shriveted body, hanged in the public square after the bonfire, was hacked down today and turned over to a Negro undertaker." The claim is made that only by such horrible punishments can Negroes be restrained from assaulting white women and committing other crimes. The Chicago Tribune is quoted by The Cleveland Gazette as saying that the statistics show that not third part of the lynchings of Neagroes are for assaulting women, but the larger number are for other offenses, often on bare suspicion. A few years ago I read of the burning to death of a Colored man who was accused of killing a white man, but the Negro said it was done in self-defense. The black man was chained to a tree and a slow fire was started at his feet. The victim broke his chain and started to run. Several men rammed pitchforks into him and dragged him back to the tree. Other men and boys got sticks having fire on their ends. With these they punched out his eyes and rammed fire down his throat. I am not surprised that millions of Russians and people living in other foreign countries honestly believe that Americans are still largely only half civilized. An Atrocious Barbarity. The burning to death of a human being is an atrocious beating, it is not only revolting, but affects on the hundreds who less the friendish act may be far greater than the crime committed by the one degenerate man accused. For 300 or 300 years, in America, Negroes were bought and sold and treated like animals. Their families of all ages were outraged by white men and the law gave the victims no redress. No Negro was permitted to testify in a court against a white person. Many slave owners had no more regard for the chastity of their female slaves than they had for that of their cows. Young or old, married or single, the female Negro had to submit to the assaults of white men. Millions of mulattoes were born; they were largely, the children of lustful, brutal men. That many of such children are sexual degenerates is easily accounted for by students of the laws of heredity. They inherited their passions from their fathers. Now, when one of those degenerate black men assaults a white woman, or commits a lesser offense, or is only suspected, he is run down by bloodhounds, beaten, lacerated and bound to a stake and bubbled to death, surrounded by a mob of howling, frenzied, often drunken men, who yell and dance like demons as the fire laps itself about the body of the victim while his screams of agony rend the air. The lynching of human belongs, black or white, can not be justified from any viewpoint. It has been proven that in several instances in which a white woman was assaulted, the man who attacked her was a white man who had blackened his face to avoid recognition, and an innocent Negro was lynched on suspicion. The flendish burning to death of a criminal does no good, but incalculable harm. Such horrible public exhibitions do not deter others from committing crimes, but do plant seeds of hate, cruelty, revenge and murder that, later, will produce a luxuriant crop of violence and crime. It is a law of nature that hate begets hatred, violence leads to greater disorders, brutality and savagery indulged in by individuals or communities, put in motion powerful, silent forces and influences for evil. Going Backward. Such crimes as the public burning to death of a human being does the world a thousandfold more injury than did the one bad act committed by the ignorant victim of the mob's hate and vengeance. Especially the youth of both sexes who look upon such horrible scenes, are incabulably injured. An expectant mother should never witness such atrocities if she would not wish to become the maternal parent of a brutal child with murderous impulses. The moral pervert, whether black or white, who assaults a female, also other dangerous criminals, should be put in a prison, be required to work and should be given wholesome teaching and kind, patient and firm treatment. There are moral and mental cripples as well as physical ones who were cursed before they were born by the sins of one or several of their ancestors, or because of inclinations or impulses stamped upon their brains by the thoughts of their mother. Criminals are often such because of the laws of heredity, or of pre-natal The Kansas City Sun Caffeine This is an interior view of the beautiful drug store of Dr. Theo. Smith, located at 18th and Tracy avenue, and is pronounced by all who have seen it as one of the most beautiful, elaborate and complete institutions of its skind owned by a Negro in this country. Dr. Smith is a wideawake, hustling, business man and is always on the lookout for any new and popular ideas that will enhance his business. Dr. Smith is a positive asset to the business interests of the Negroes of Greater Kansas city, and his establishment is the mecca for all visitors stopping off or visiting our city. influences. Instead of burning them to death or killing them, they should be shut away from temptation, their environment improved, and they should be taught to be guided by reason instead of by evil lust and degrading impulses. There are no better reasons for burning to death moral and mental cripples than there would be for cremating children who are born blind or deaf and dumb, or feeble minded. I am convinced that the cause for the frequent lynching of Negroes is due chiefly to our unjust industrial system of the past and present time. The Colored people, as a rule, are poor, and although no longer chattel property, they are nevertheless largely wage-slaves, and as such are looked upon as inferiors who have not many rights the white people are bound to respect. Abraham Lincoln made it unlawful for the capitalist to own the Negro as he owns his horse and dog, but the great emancipator did not and could not make the Negro nor the white wage slave economically free. The Colored man and his children are still poor and ignorant and continue to suffer from many wrongs inflicted upon their ancestors. Logical Fruits. Slavery, race prejudices, mobs, violence, lynchings and wars are the legitimate, logical fruits of an industrial system founded on competition and individualism which exists only by exploiting from others large values without returning any equivalent therefor. Socialism proposes to establish and maintain a cooperative commonwealth. Under such a system race antagonism, cruelty, burnings at the stake and wars will speedily pass away, because the four cornerstones of the Socialist state will be justice, reciprocity, universal brotherhood and universal peace. Socialism has lofty ideals. It says: "God, or nature, has so interwoven the well being and destiny of all humanity into one indissoluble bond of unity and interdependence that what injures one injures all, and what benefits one benefits all." Its slogan is: "An injury to one is the concern of all." There were no Socialists among the 10,000 Texans who burned Will Sainley at the stake - Milwaukee Leader MASONIC. Beginning with next week we shall public in the columns of the Missouri State Journal the articles under the caption of "Fifty Years of Masonry." We shall attempt, as far as the records available, to mark the work of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Missouri at the sitting in Kansas City, August, 1916. This review is especially opportune as preparations are now under way for the semi-centennial of the meeting at the sitting in Kansas City, August, 1916. The brethren may each possess a coherent form of what Masonry has accomplished among the Colored people of Missouri, and the ment of Masonic ideals may be easily followed. The form of Grand Master Crews are followed up as indicated the next meeting of the Grand Lodge and its members in the Masonic circles of America. Every accredited Grand Lodge in the world will be represented in each meeting will participate in the demonstration. Each Missouri Mason will be a touch to the visitors and should be prepared to freely discuss the record of the institution to the visiting guests. Each end "Fifty Years of Masonry" will be offered.

DRINK 'AND SORROW. By CHAS. A. STARKS. Think not to drown the dark phantom of Thought Which seems to hover 'round the mazy brain. For powerless be many smacking draughts Drink quells for a time the deep, woe ful blues.

A. buildings at Washington, D. C., Philadelphia and Chicago. He says Kansas City has one of the best and most serviceable. The following is from a newspaper letter by Bishop Tyree: "I here and now recommend to all travelers of our people who go to Kansas City and have no permanent place to stop, have some one direct them to the Y. M. C. A. building, where excellent meals are served, and very neat as can be with no bolsterous conduct. That is one place that I have found in my life where it is just as pleasant and in some respects more so than to dine in one's home." ALLEN CHAPEL NOTES. Last Sunday the minister preached a very able and interesting sermon from the last verse of the last chapter of the Bible. Special music was rendered by a quartet under the leadership of Mr. R. L. Tutt. At night the magnificent painting, "The Return from Calvary," was exhibited to an unusually large audience and a very entertaining lecture was delivered by the artist who produced it. At this service Mrs. Caddie Witcher sang "Calvary," and Mrs. Lena Mosely sang "The Holy City" in a very acceptable manner. Nexa Sunday is Quarterly meeting, the last Quarterly meeting of the year. Rev. F. D. Wells will preach the sacramental sermon. Mr. and Mrs. Adam Manuel and son of Haskell, Okla., and Mrs. Powell of 1810 Woodland, were pleasant callers at the Sun office this week.

Jennings Bryan of the Convention—Kansas City Wins in a Walk Over Philadelphia. The National Medical Association convened in Chicago August 24-86, in its 17th annual session. Representatives from the different states were present and held their meetings at the Y. M. C. A. building. Clinics were held in the Provident hospital, Cook County hospital and St. Luke's hospital. The class of papers rendered by the different representatives were above the average. During the convention there arose a deal of rivalry between Philadelphia and Kansas City for the next place of meeting. Philadelphia had circulated a beautifully written invitation on the opening day and had invitations from the mayor, the city council, Commercial club, Philadelphia Academy of Medicine and all of the leading firms of that city, inviting the National Association to meet with them in 1916. The committee made its report and recommended Philadelphia as the next place of meeting. The motion was suspended and Dr. Thompkins got the floor, and made a strong speech in favor of Kansas City and before he had completed his address the convention in wild enthusiasm was calling for Kansas City for the next place of meeting. Dr. Thompkins began with an appeal by telling the story of the conflict between the Partritions and the Plabeians of Rome and cited that on one memorable occasion a decision of Caesar was appealed from. Caesar responded to the Plabian—"to whom will you present your appeal?" The Plebian responded by saying that "I will appeal from Caesar drunk to Caesar sore," and then directing his appeal to the convention, that immediately turned the tide which brings the National Medical Association to Kansas City, Mo., in 1916. It was unprecedented for a convention to decline the report of a committee on place of meeting who had reported unanimously for another city, and this occurrence only demonstrates the power of magnetism in this man. The delegates of Kansas City, Doctors T. C. Unthank, J. E. Perry and E. B. Ramsey, together with the enthusiastic convention surrounded Thompkins and enthusiastically styled him "The William Jennings Bryan" of the convention.—M. O. Bousfield, M. W.

Chapman.) ‘Miag Victoria Dallemand, handsome, but haughty because purse-proud and intolerant, turned from the driver of the big van that contained w part ot the furniture of the house of Dal- Jemand, She noted that a pair of clear, tntel- gent eyes showed from under the soiled and creased sombrero worn by the driver and his manner was that of a cultured gentleman, Still, his vo- cation was humble, his clothing rough, his present position on a par with the family coachman. “Will you kindly tell the men with the second van to take the hill road when the conveyance arrives!” he had asked courteously, Miss Dallemand bestowed upon him fa chilling stare, A slight smile passed over the face of the young man. It Was 80 enigmatical, and withal so sus ceptible of fine gradations of analysis that the companion of the exclusive Miss Dallemand was influenced to pay attention to him, She was only Lucia Parr, poor and an orphen, but a fa vorite with Victoria, She deprecated the autocratic action of her friend. It was so simple and natural 4 task to answer civilly, and she said impulsive: ly: “Twill deliver your message, sir.” “Thank you," and the keen, mirth: ful eyes of the driver, whom his pres. ent companions called “Wharton,” flashed her a signal of appreciation, and of admiration, too, that caused Lucia to flush deeply. “Why, Lucia,” observed Miss Dal Memand in tones' of open reproach.

It was their custom each year to do this. In the absenee of her father and. mother, Miss allemand had assumed charge of affairs, She had sent to the town, as was usual, to secure a moving crew, and the frst van, carrying the plano, some book cases and other spe celal furnishings, was now jogging along down the road, driven by Whar- ton. ‘The young man was an accom: plished driver, he showed that in the way he managed the team, but his two helpers were unruly comrades, Armed with several bottles, they threw themselves upon a heap of mat- (tresses piled In one corner of the great wagon and ordered Wharton to give them the word when they reached destination. “If we ever do!” soliloquized Whar- ton, Just after dark.

Miss Dallemand simply shrugged her shoulders, Miss.

Would it be possible to make us a little more comfortable?” "Yes, indeed!” brisked up Wharton. “Have you'a key to the home?” “It seems to have been lost tn the bustle and discomfort of our journey,” replied Miss Parr. “We will soon adjust all that!” pledged Wharton cheerily. He was as good as his word. A win- dow was forced, some lamps found in the house filled’ with ofl from the can in the wagon, and the helpers urged up to get the furniture out of the van {nto the house. Once inside, Miss Dallemand sat at a distance in an arm chair brought in for her especial com- fort, Miss Parr kept in touch with the movements of Wharton, suggest: ing, and seeming to,stir about and busy herself. i Under her directions two rooms Were quite comfortably fixed up, fires started in tho grates, and Wharton even went so far as to bring in a coarse but wholesome lunch from their own provisions in the van. "You have done so nicely!” com: mended Miss Parr brightly, as Whar- ton went back down stairs, bowing with the grace of a cavalier, and as- suring her that as soon as the other van arrived they would have the place in complete order. But the other van did not arrive the next day and the rain kept up. Whar- ton sent his men and the van back to hunt up and agsist 1 necessary the de- layed transport. He worked like a beaver for the comfort of the refugees. A mile away at the village he secured eatables, {n- cluding dainties, installed one of the servants as cook, and even Miss Dal- lemand assented to the sentiment of her friend that things were beginning to look actually homelike. “That common person who drives the van has been really useful to us,” she acknowledged languidly. “He isn't very common,” declared Lula, “Why, I heard him at the piano today playing softly one your most difficult concert pieces. He is a true gentleman, that is sure.” ‘The other van arrived next morn: ing. Then came Mr. and Mrs. Dal- lemand, Mr, Dallemand, hearing of the active services of the “common per- son," pleaded with him to remain a week and get things in order about the place, “My old friend, General Taylor, 1s coming to visit us tomorrow,” an: nounced Mr, Dallemand to his wife and daughter one day. “His nephew will be a millionaire some day, Vie toria,” added Mr, Dallemand, with a quiet smile, and the next day the gen- eral arrived, His host was showing him about the garden when the gen eral started, halted and stared, “My nephew here!" cried the ol man and his glance was fixed or Wharton, who, assisted by Lucia, was training a vine up a trellis, their faces temptingly near together. “That—why, that is Wharton, a Jewel of a manager I have em- ployed—" began Mr. Dallemand, “Yes, Eric Wharton — Taylor,” added the general. “Hey, sir, what is the meaning of this masquerade?” he hailed, and Lucia, with blushing face retreated, and Wharton advanced. “{ put you on probation—" “Well, I've started in to make a man of myself by veeking honest work, haven't 1?” smiled Wharton, ‘The general put out his hand with the words: “I guess we'll cancel that foolish quarrel.

The unknown Erie Wharton Taylor had been on her list of prospective sultors, However, she bit her lip and smiled on Lucia, and really approved the match with that “common person!” Gave It to the Neighbors. ‘Two esteemed citizens were walking along the, streets of a western town when one of the pair remarked that he was temporarily a bachelor owing to the fact that his wife had gone on ‘a vacation, “1 suppose.” smilingly remarked the other, “that you write to her and tell her everything that you do while she is gone?” “Oh, no,” was the rather surprising response of the first; “I don't have to.” “Don't have to!” returned the oth: er wonderingly. “Do you mean to ae ‘“{ mean to say,” replied the first, “that the neighbors kindly attend to it for me,” Zeppelin Engines. ‘The latest Zeppelins are said to be equipped with three six-cylinder Diesel engines, with a combined horse power of 450.

There was a large andience who Ms: toned to Mr. Ousley and his remarks were indeed encouraging and received hearty applause. Another interesting phase of the morning session was the talks and exhibits given by several of tho leading colored farmers in attend- ance, A. B. Marshall of Brazoria county was introduced and said that he had also brought greetings from his county judge, Hon, A. R. Rucks, who was interested in the welfare of the Negro farmers of the state and is anxious to colonize 100 more colored families in that county. Mr. Marshall exhibited quite variety of peas, beans, peanuts, etc., which he had grown, as well as samples of different species of corn. Among the different erops which he had grown during this year were Japanese cane, planted April 23; Chinese velvet bean, planted April 12; the Virginia bunch and small Spanish peanuts, planted April 12; Chinese red pea, planted May 1, matured and harvested with another crop under cultivation; Mexican June corn, planted May 18. During the course of his talk Mr. Marshall said that the good white peo- ple of hfs community had assisted him on his expense to the. farmers’ ‘congress and that County Judge Rucks expressed himself as well pleased with the excellent work which the Prairie View school had done under the ad- ministration of its present principal. 8.

In two states, the study shows, more than half the population are Negroes. These are Mississippi and South Car- olina, In four other states—Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Louisiana—the percentage is over 40. ‘The county having the highest percentage of Ne- gro population, it was found, is Tsa- quena county, Miss., where the Ne- groes constitute 942 per cent of the total population.

Ahab's accusation, “Art thou he that traubleth Israel,” is replied to by Ell- Jah’s challenge regarding a contest be- tween himself, the representative of Jehovah, and the king's prophets rep- resenting Baal, (vv, 17-25). In accord- tied with the stipulations the prophets of Baal accepted the challenge and miost miserably failed (vv. 26:29), The place of this dramatic contest was Mt.

(a) He calls the people together (v. 30) draw- ing them nigh to God’and challenging their undivided attention after the con- fusion produced by the priests and their consternation over their defeat.

Restore one in the heart, the home and church and there will return to all unity and strength, Note Blijah’s insistence upon an undivided nation, as suggested by the “twelve stones.” ‘While any lasting reformation must begin in the individual heart, still it itis true and genuine it will work it- self out in the nation. “Israel shall e thy name.” ‘The “prince that prevails with God,” who had wrought for their fathers, who answered Jacob's prayer, 1s now about to answer Elijah.

Wiljah, the man of faith, staked his all upon the Word of God, he gave himself up wholly to the plans and purposes of God, and relied explicitly upon the covenant-keeping God. Those who pray prevailing prayers must bo familiar with the promldes of Jehovah and be taught by the Spirit of God (I John 6:14, 15; Rom. 8:26, 27; Eph. 6:18). : Wlijah’s prayer was offered before an altar on which rested the shed dlood of the evening sacrifice, We must offer our petitions in the name of and through the merits of the blood, ot him who gave up his life on Cal: vary at this same hour, (Matt, 27:45- 51; Heb. 10:19).

It is a good idea to prepare pretty things for fitting up the guest room. things for fitting up the guest room. The first consideration for a guest is comfort. She may be delighted with the vase of flowers that greets her from the table, but she will be sure to appreciate a pretty negligee hanging in the closet. One's luggage seldom arrives at its destination with oneself, and a negligee to slip into is often a comfort indeed. Feet are apt to be tired, and until slippers arrive the feet would be glad to rest in a pair of simple bedroom slippers. These are really no trouble at all to make. You just take a pair of lamb's wool soies and a strip of ribbon long enough to go around the sole and four inches wide. One edge is sewed to the edge of the sole and the other is turned down to make a hem through which is run a narrow elastic. This draws the ribbon up, shaping it into a shoe. Supposing one chooses blue ribbon and works a few rosebuds on the toes in embroidery silk and makes a simple kimono of pale blue cotton棉 trimmed with a frill of white lace and finished with a loose belt of pink ribbon. This would be a very dainty outfit and cost but little. Four yards of crepe at 15 cents a yard, plain or flowered in blue, with two yards of lace at ten cents a yard, and two yards of ribbon at 12½ cents a yard, will be ample. In fact if one looked around for bargains one dollar would probably cover the entire cost. Curtains can be made before they are needed, and one gets such a choice of dainty inexpensive materials in the early spring. The printed lawns in the dress goods section make the prettiest curtains if one cannot find what she wants in the scrim and curtain muslins. White cotton voile can be used for the sash curtains, edged with lace. The colored curtains should be made with a valance and if made as follows one can save on material: Cut two lengths, each measuring $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards, and hem one end. Cut a strip the entire width of the goods Guest Slippers. and 12 inches wide. Hem one raw edge and sew the selvedge eges to the top of the two curtains (coming between them) and making one long straight edge. Hem this and pass the rod through, then hang. The bedspread edged with a frill might be of the same material as the curtains, but I should like the bureau Dainty Device Which Ads to the Beauty of the Household Chest. One of the dainty devices to add to the beauty of the bride's household chest is the band of ribbon to hold piles of sheets, pillow slips, towels, tablecloths and napkins in order. The band is made of pink, lavender, blue, green or yellow satin ribbon an inch and a half or two inches wide. It is fastened with a small bone clasp and the ribbon is adjusted to different lengths by means of bone slides that move back and forth along the ribbon. A big satin rose covers the clasp. Two of these straps are fastened about each pile of linen. When the packages of linen are piled one on top of the other on closet shelves or in a chest the roses are pulled to the front of each package; and so the packages can be unfastened and a towel pulled from one, a pair of sheets from another, without disturbing the whole pile. New Parasol. There is something new in vanity fair—a parasol of the name. it has the effect of an eight-petaled flower, and the semblance is carried out by the outline of each of the eight sections being carried to the center by a series of little gathers. it takes two pieces of material to make each section, therefore, 16 in all. The parasol is so unique and attractive that the makers have protected the design by patent rights. Variations of fete parasols of Japanese origin are seen. Never was there such a wide variety in this particularly feminine article. FASHIONS AND FADS The newest petticoats are made of tulle. Summer fashion favors the transparent sleeve. White skirts for tennis favor the wide pocket effects. Rose pink is a good shade for a lawn country frock. The all-black hat of velvet is fashion's latest caprice. There are huge taffeta roses placed at the waist line. Knitted silk sport coats in stripes are very effective. Even 'bathing suits have skirts formed or a series of ruffles. Boned crassieres are now being made expressly for bathing. Beaded gate-tops bags are made of black or navy blue moire. Circular skirts are finished with bias bands of plaid material. Carry a parasol of gorgeous hue and a small bandbag of brilliant taffeta. Tiny hand-painted pearl buttons and dyed pearl buttons in odd shapes are to appear on autumn waists. AFTERNOON GOWN The Model of This Afternoon Gown is of Black Taffeta. The Skirt is Medium Width and Gathered at the Waist. On Each Side There is a Plain Gore, the Front and Back Gore Being Gathered More Fully Than the Gore at the Sides. There Are Two Deep Folds at the Bottom of the Back and Front Gore. These Are Beaded With a Frill About Two Inches Deep. The Waist and Sleeves Are in One and is Open in a "V" at the Neck. The High Standing Collar Gives It a Gic Touch. A Black Velvet Touche Completes the Costume. scarf of the voile lace trimmed, laid over the prevailing color, with a pin cushion (filled with pins) to match. Slips for cushions could be simple white material over a color or decorated in a color. The Season's Parasols Smart parasols which look like miniature awnings are to be had in awning stripes of black and white. These "awning" parasols also appear in other colors. A parasol of very rich effect is the new Japanese parasol. The framework is so adjusted as to make this sun umbrella very flat and Japanese in line. The silk covering is plain, but the shade may be as rich as you wish. The border of the parasol is hemistitched, and upon the double fold are worked tiny Japanese characters in gold thread two to a gore. UNDERWOOD UNDERWOOD Black Velvet Hat, Sailor Shaped With a Large Puff of Velvet in the Front and a String of Silver Beads Around It. The New Style Bangs Are Curled Instead of Being Straight. Cords and Tassels. Cords and tassels are a trimming feature worth noting. Satin cords with silk tassels attached are used on some of the new hats. Metallic cords and tassels are also used on hats. Cords and tassels are used at the girdle, sometimes, and often about the neck. When used at the neck, the cord is usually substituted by a ribbon, and the tassel is in the form of a beaded or jeweled pendant. A cleaning mixture made especially for ribbons consists of gin, one-half pint; honey, one-half pound; soft soap, one-half pound; water, one-eighth pint. Mix together. Scrub the soiled portions of the ribbon with this mixture. Afterward rinse in three clean waters by dipping the ribbon up and down in them to remove all trace of the cleanser. Allow the water to drip away from the ribbons and iron with a fairly hot iron under a clean muslin cloth until it is dry. If it seems too wet for ironing, wipe with a cloth before ironing dry. Soutache and Embroidery Embroidery of one sort or another continues in high favor. Embroidered net frocks for summer afternoons and evenings are a wise choice for the woman who wishes to have a serviceable and yet a sufficiently elaborate frock. Soutache braiding is much used, too, applied in all the intricacies of embroidered scroll design. Some dresses have the elongated waist line, suggesting the moyen-age. Trebizond the Ancient YEARS! Years! What are years? Only 365 days! What are 365 days, or any combinations of 365 days, compared with the unutterable past, whose dust is being stirred by Europe's war, says member Harun al Rashid, Genghis Khan and the rest of the half real half mythical beings that people the fanciful days of your childhood when you lived within the pages of romance and the tales of wonder from the East Walter H. Main, in the Uttica Globe. It was a mere pebble in a mill pond—that assassination of a petty ruler last summer—but the ripples it started have not yet begun to lap the shores of the sea of time along which shades of the past hover, nodding to one another that humanity is ever the same, always seeking, always avaricious, always as ready to kill as was Genghis Khan, who slew his 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 and wept for more. Take that single city of Trebizond there on the Black sea, of which we have hardly heard, of whose past we know nothing, and for whose trade Turkey and Russia are struggling. What is the commerce of New York for a single century compared with the commerce of Trebizond for countless ages? We look with veneration on a building a century old; the Magna Charta we look upon with its 700, years as of unspeakable antiquity; but here is a city whose past trails into the dim realm of myth, to the tombs of Pharaohs, to antiquity that ends in fancy. It was 1492 when Columbus stumbled on San Salvador and marked the beginning of our four centuries of continental history, four centuries that seem an interminal past to us, but which are as a dream which passeth in the night for Trebizond and its hinterland. In fact America would not have been disclosed for many years had it not been for the trade of Trebizond. For Trebizond has been the outlet to the western world of the ```markdown ``` OLD FORTRESS OF TREBIZOND wonderful treasures of the inscrutable East. Even Egypt, the Egypt of 5,00 East. Was Great Trade Center. To Trebizond old Genoa turned when it wrested the sea power of the world from old Venice. Many nations traded with Trebizond in its eventful past and everyone in turn waxed fat and prosperous and fell, until the Turk came to control the Dardanelles in 1453, and now Russia seeks to own the Black sea. It was because the Ottoman choked other traders that Columbus, the son of proud, rich Genoa, sought an all-water route to the East. When the first prow from Europe grated on the shore of the China sea and found the coral reefs of India, then began to dwindle that caravan trade which for ages beyond number had brought all the Orient, all Cathay westward in the shortest way. Then was doomed the camel traffic. It still persists; long strings of camels from the Orient still tread the streets of Trebizond, but there is a railway that brings goods to Batum, in Russian territory, faster than camels can travel and Batum has the trade. But Trebizond is still a metropolis, and the dust of Trebizond which is disturbed by the war strife carries with it the romance of the race and brings up a mirage to the fancy that includes the brave figures of a past as old as humanity. Mysticism of Far Cathay. Mystery of Pal Gauley. When you feel that dust of ages rising and smell the sandalwood and spicery of the East and the same pungent odor of the camels that you may have noticed in new America on circus day, you lose all sense of time; you lose view of the land beyond the western sea, the land America, so new and fresh and inexperienced with a mere two or three centuries behind it; you lose all tangible things; you become infected with the mysticism of the East. For the nonce you forget time; you are transported to the Bagdad of the Arabian Nights; you re- Bumper Crops In Russia. Bumper Crops in Russia. Russia apparently has plenty of men still in reserve. Her wheat crop, according to estimates published by the International Institute of Agriculture, will be about 40 per cent larger this year than last, and the winter rye yield about 20 per cent larger. The war, instead of decreasing the amount of farm work in Russia, has stimulated it, and the promised crop yield indicates that more men are employed in agriculture this year than there were last year. Whatever happens, Russia is not going to be starved out.—Hartford Courant. Arcadian Disturbances The noises of the night can be just as aggravating in the country as in the city. To be sure, there is not the clang of the trolley, but the clang of the cowbell in the still watches of the night can be just as irritating to the nerves of the citizen who is trying in vain to woo slumber. These moral reflections are induced by the fact that a resident of Carman was seen chasing a cow around a pasture field about 5:30 o'clock one morning member Harun al Rashid, Genghis Khan and the rest of the half real, half mythical beings that peopled the fanciful days of your childhood when you lived within the pages of romance and the tales of wonder from the East captivated you. But the trail does not stop there with the heroes of the tales that came to barbarian Europe just before modern life dawned, when the Marco Polos boldly penetrated past the gates to the East. The dust of the city of Trebizond, which lies thick, dates back beyond the Crusaders. The bridles of their horses jingled, the armor of the warriors of the Cross rattled within this same city of Trebizond there on the Black sea. Romance In Its Spicery. Try to read its story as a history and you are hopelessly lost in a list of meaningless names. Absorb it as a romance, as you absorb India in Kipling's "Kim," and the city of Trebzond is of entrancing interest. The earliest navigators, the Phoenicians, plied the Black sea and did carrying trade for the caravans from the East. Then Britain was but a wild place, inhabited by savages, where the low, black ships of the Phoenicians got tin from the mines to trade at Trebizond for the jewels of India and China. Britain we consider old, with its ruins, about which cling the story of the Roman soldiers. But this was even before Rome entered the world stage. It was when Hiram of Tyre was bringing cedar for Solomon to build his temple. It was when Joseph was the wheat king of Egypt and before then, even. It was—heaven knows when it was. Trebizond was a metropolis when the earliest man in the West and his womankind began to covet the silk and gold and jade and perfumes of the ```markdown ``` East. Even Egypt, the Egypt of 5,000 years ago, was a fippant youth when the Orient was hoary with age—not hoary with years, years are not a measurable standard to use—hoary with age, eons and eons of time. Bound the West to the East. The dust of Trebizond was tracked there by countless caravans of patient camels through countless centuries. The route they followed was the slender thread of a trail that for centuries bound together the East and West—the West vigorous in its crude barbary, ornamenting itself with the jewels and silks of the East. Between the avarice of the West and the riches of the East nature had put a barrier of mountain and desert which could be penetrated at only a few places. Unerringly, with the experience of ages, the caravan leaders picked the trail. It ran south 600 miles from Trebizond to Bagdad, the Bagdad of the Arabian Nights and Harun al Rashid; it broke over into Persia on the east and ran 350 miles to Ispahan; then wound among the mountains and plains east, always east, 750 miles to Kandahar in Afghanistan; then up to Kabul 400 miles farther and to Jelalabad and through old Khyber pass into India—a full 2,000 miles as the camel trails. At Khyber pass the caravans divided, going into far Cathay, into Cashmere's lovely vales, sung by Laila Rookh's minstrel prince, to mysterious Mongolia, to all the oldest tribes on earth, who made the luxuries for the rest of the world. This is the storied city, whose dust is being stirred by the warriors of this the twentieth century. Perhaps the very gunpowder that may yet awaken the echoes in the old camel-trot streets is now being made in a factory in that crude, upstart land, America, which Columbus stumbled on when he was hunting around for a way to circumvent the Ottoman, to beat the camel drivers by getting there with a ship. recently, trying to capture her in order to get the bell with which she was adorned.—Dufferin (Manitoba) Leader. "Talk" Kittle Understood The girl was making cookies. Little Mary was toddling cat the kitchen. The big house cat bothered the little one. "Tell Kittle to go out," she demanded to the cook. The latter was busy, so spoke rather perfunctory. "Kittle, go out! Go out, Kittle!" A disusted look came over the toddler's face as she said: "Kittle don't understand that talk. Speak to her with the broom." Newspaper Holders A simple newspaper holder can be made by cutting away a portion of one side of an ordinary clothespin, drilling a hole through the thick end for a screw or nail, and fastening it in place where desired. Another way is to split off one side of a clothespin and cut the bottom of the remaining part, tapering as shown; then drill a hole to avoid splitting the piece and fasten in a convenient place. IDEAL FOR SUMMER HOUSE Most Attractive Table Is One Covered With Chintz and Fitted With a Plate Glass Top. For the well-appointed summer house, a table covered with chintz and fitted with a plate glass top is exceedingly attractive. This is very expensive if ordered from a professional decorator; but if you buy the chintz yourself, fit it to your table and have the glass cut to measure, the cost will be much less and the effect quite as pleasing. Another device for an inexpensively furnished country house is the transformed kitchen table. A cheap kitchen table can be treated in a variety of ways to make an attractive bedside or writing table for the guest chamber. One that I have seen, for a green and white bedroom, had the legs sawed off to a convenient length and was painted an apple green. Over the top was stretched—and tacked on the under side—a cover of green denim; on the top of this was a large green writing blotter, a rack for note paper and a green pottery ink well. The result was a pretty and original writing table at a cost of two dollars and a half. A kitchen table painted white and decorated to match the chintz or wall paper is attractive; but this demands some skill with the brush. PANCAKES ON SUMMER DAYS. Made in the Right Way They Are Just as Welcome as Those Popular in the Winter. Very tempting griddle cakes may be prepared without a soapstone griddle—or in fact any griddle—if you have an ordinary frying pan and a good hot flame from an oil or gas burner. Summer pancakes should be thin, delicately browned and rather small, for the appetite is not as hearty as on a crisp winter morning. For two people, mix a cupful of flour, a pinch of salt, a teaspoonful of sugar and a level teaspoonful of baking powder. Beat up one egg in about a half cupful of sweet milk and add this to the batter, if it is not thin enough to pour easily add a little water or more milk. Have the griddle—or frying pan very hot and well greased—and pour a little of the batter from the tip of a spoon to make each pancake. Turn with a knife as soon as the batter bubbles in the pan. If the cakes brown without cooking through the griddle is too hot; if they refuse to brown, it is not hot enough. Rich Orange Cake. Yolks of five eggs, two cupupls granulated sugar, two cupupls bread flour, one-half cupupl cold water, one-half teaspoonful soda, one teaspoonful cream tartar, whites of three eggs, grated peel and juice of one orange. Beat yolks until thick, sift sugar three times and add. Beat the whites of eggs stiff and add to first mixture, next the water and soda, then flour and cream of tartified twice. Lastly, add the orange juice and grated rind. Bake in a dripping pan, and when done cut in halves and frost with orange frosting. Frosting—Whites of three eggs, one orange juice and grated peel and powdered sugar to make stiff enough to spread. This cake is not good until the day after making. Be sure to use bread flour. Frosting may be made without whites of eggs. To Save Work and Fuel I always cook enough vegetables to last two days, preparing them in some different way the second day. It makes things easier when you have to do your own cooking, and it is easier for the servants if they do it. In winter I cook potatoes for three days. It takes no longer than boiling a smaller quantity, and when you have a potato cooked in its jacket you have the foundation of most of the potato dishes. I do as mush of my cooking as possible in the morning, and I prepare the Sunday meals on Saturday so that I will have nothing to do on Sunday but to reheat them. — Woman's World. Prevent Soiled Comforters. It spoils heavy bed comforters to wash them, and besides they are so heavy to handle when one tries to was then that it is almost too much for a woman to attempt. So here is my plan for keeping them clean: The end used at the head of the bed and which always becomes solled 1 cover with a width of the same goods as the comforter is made of, allowing half the width to come on top and half on under side. By cutting the edge in scallops and binding with wash ribbon they are quite pretty. These strips can be taken off and washed when solled and replaced again, thereby saving the washing of the comforter. Kentucky Spoon Bread Two cupfuls cornmeal, two teaspoonfuls salt, two eggs, one and one-half cupfuls buttermilk, one teaspoonful soda, one and one-half tablespoonfuls butter. Scald the cornmeal with enough hot water to make it the consistency of mush. Add salt and butter, and set it aside to cool; then beat in the eggs whipped light; dissolve the soda in the buttermilk, beat into the mixture, and bake in a rather deep buttered pan in a quick oven for thirty-five or forty minutes. — Good Housekeeping Magazine. "Temperance" Punch The juice of three oranges and three lemons, a grated pineapple, a quart of strab'berries; add from two to three cupfuls of sugar to the fruit. Pour one quart of boiling water on a tablespoonful of tea and let stand 15 minutes; strain and when cold mix with fruit and sugar. When ready to serve, add one quart of minera' water and ice. Serve with a slice of lemon in each glass. Inexpensive Summer Beverage inexpensive summer beverage. A very nice mime drink which may take a little lemonade and be found really as healthful is made with one cupful of pure cider vinegar, half a cupful of good molasses put into one quart pitcher of ice water. A table-spoonful of ground sugar added makes a healthful beverage. NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Children Who Insist on Being Real Americans WASHINGTON—While the new "Americanization day" idea, for instilling the spirit and ideals of the United States into naturalized citizens, will undoubtedly appeal to many in Washington, a large number of the foreign- happened when a teacher of a kindergarten had her pupils out for a walk may give an understanding of this spirit. A woman approached the party and, pointing to a bright-appearing boy near the teacher, asked his nationality. "He is Russian," replied the teacher. "No. I am not," quickly retorted the five-year-old; "I am American." "I did not mean you were Russian," explained the teacher. "I meant that your mother and father are Russians." "No, they are not, either. They are Americans, too," came back the answer, quickly. Another incident may serve to show the diligence with which the foreign born are seeking to become "true Americans." A reporter in search of children who, he had heard, could speak three, four or five languages went to one of the schools. The teacher in charge called to one of the pupils known to speak a number of languages: "Annie, can't you say something in your native language?" she asked the child. Annie immediately became bashful and refused to say anything. "What language do you speak?" the child was asked. "I speak English," she answered. "Yes, here at school. But what do you speak at home? What do mother and father speak?" "Oh, they speak English, too," came back quickly. "They want to be American." United States' Crusade Against Weight Frauds United States' Crusade Against Weight Frauds AMERICAN consumers of print butter are paying more than $8,000,000 each year for butter they do not get. This is because the weights of the commodity they actually receive are materially less than those they are flammed and short-weighted; and in a large percentage of cases he—or usually she—is wholly ignorant of the fact. It is because of the conditions of affairs of which these things are only samples that the division of weights and measures of the bureau of standards has directed many of its activities in recent years toward securing the enactment of better weights and measure laws by the federal government and the several states, and toward bringing about stricter enforcement of existing laws. Recognizing that the education of the consumer is a necessary prerequisite to better conditions the department has prepared a bulletin on household measurements that will be a popular treatise on the subject and which will put information in the hands of the housekeeper that can be made of the greatest usefulness and money value. Much of the space of the bulletin is devoted to the important topic of measurements in the purchase of commodities and to the weights and measures laws of the various states. The needs of both the urban and rural consumer are met, for the discussion is comprehensive enough to cover the field from the checking of the weights of the butcher and iceman to the computation of the cordage of wood and the capacity of silos. Training Good Cooks for Uncle Sam's Soldiers OF late years—since 1906—the United States army has been no longer a mass of men who simply got food. They are now scientifically fed by men who have studied the subject, and in a practical way by presiding over meat, the chemistry of food values, the testing of foodstuffs, the nutritive elements in vegetables and the chemistry of bread-baking. In the big, sweet-smelling bakery at the Washington barracks there are to be seen every morning about a dozen husky fellows—for they take their lessons by small details—all engaged in mashing the dough in working machines, poking it into the huge oven or fishing it out at the end of a long wooden pole. As they bake the bread for the entire post, they use each day about two barrels of flour. The bread is delicious and fashioned of the purest ingredients. The barracks kitchen is used for the preparation of most of the food, but there is also outside a "field kitchen," in which the cooking is virtually done in the open. The place is a simple shed, open all around, except that the sides are protected by wire screening. There are taught lessons in how to prepare an appetizing meal with the thermometer below zero or rising toward the top of the glass tube. Experiments at the Government's Chicken Farm THERE's a sixty-acre poultry farm thirty minutes' ride from Washington, and beyond all doubt the work which is being done there would throw light upon at least one of the many problems which arise constantly to "stump" the chicken fancier, be he to look over this particular establishment. He will be more than welcome, for, you see, the farm in question belongs to Uncle Sam and is part of the Beltsville, Md., bureau of animal industry station. In fact, the men who are running the big poultry establishment desire above all things to have chicken fanciers and breeders visit them and see the work they are doing. Collateral with the feeding, housing and breeding problems of ordinary poultry production, the Beltsville farm at present is the scene of a good many investigations which, when completed, are unquestionably destined to be of intense interest to the poultry dealer. One of them deals with an attempt to control the color of the yolks of eggs. Another is designed to disclose the ingredients of a ration based on staples easily obtained in any part of the country, which will produce the highest number of eggs possible. NO, I'M AMERICANO ANY I WON'T LEARN IT NEITHER SABES TU LEER ESPAÑOL? "He is Russian," replied the teacher, "No, I am not," quickly retorted the ear.

United States' Crusade A AMERICAN consumers of print butter each year for butter they do not get. commodity they actually receive are supposed to be buying. Consumers of bulk butter that is weighed out over the counter are paying other real millions for imaginary fat that can never be cut with a knife or spread on a slice of bread. And buyers of potatoes, sugar, flour, meat, milk and all other foodstuffs that go to make up the American dietary are contributing additional millions. In the aggregate, for things that they never receive. In the virile language of the street, the American consumer is being film-flammed and short-weighted; and in. ally she—is wholly ignorant of the fact. It is because of the conditions of all samples that the division of weights and it has directed many of its activities in receipt of better weights and measure laws the several states, and toward bringing all laws.

Particularly is this true of the younger generation, which has no doubt suffered from appellations affixed to them by children born in this country because of their foreign descent.

There are six training schools for army cooks, one being in each division of the country—San Francisco, Fort Riley, San Antonio, Philippine islands, Hawaii and in Washington. Soldiers who wish to take a course are allowed to enter for four months' study and at the end of that time the proficient ones are graduated.

Woolen socks, ot shirts, of stiff cap ‘strings arg quite enough to spoil his ‘comfort, even if he is well, and, in ‘hot Weather especially, a superabund /ance of clothing is frequently respon: sible for much real suffering. Dress the baby in the lightest cot- ton garments and keep him as cool as possible. Do not be afraid to let him have nothing on but his diaper and one other thin garment on the very hot days, Prickly Heat. One of the troubles from which a baby often suffers in summer is prick- ly’ heat. This ailment appears as a fine red rash usually on the neck and shoulders and gradually spreads to the head, face and arms, It is caused by overheating, due either to the hot weather or to the fact that the baby is too warmly dressed.

Use I ta Dlespoontul of soda to two quarts of water, Use no soap, and do not rut the skin, but pat it dry with a soft towel. After the skin is thoroughly dry, dust the inflamed surfaces with @ plain talcum powder. ‘This ailment, ike all others, is more readily prevented than cured Frequent cool baths, very little cloth: ing, simple food and living in coo rooms, or in the open air will prob ably save the summer baby from much of the annoyance of prickly heat and other more serious ills. Chafing. Fat bables are very apt to suffer from chafink, especially in hot weath- er. It appears as a redness of the skin in the buttocks or in the armpits, or wherever two skin surfaces persist: ently rub togetiier. Much the same treatment is re- quired as in prickly heat. Never use soap on an inflamed skin, Instead use a soda, bran or starch bath, Di- rections for these baths are given in a publication ealled Infant Care, which may be had, free of charge, by ad: dressing a request to the Chief of the Children's Bureau, U.S, Department of Labor; Walhington; D.C: Negro Business and Professional Direc: tory of Greater Kansas City A.

Hobart John Henry on the Street Car "Nobody Could Get in Our Section Because the Fat Lady Held Them at Bay." MY friend, Hep Hardy, presented me with a neat little gold hammer day before yesterday. Why, I don't know. But now that I have it I might as well use it. Every time I hop into one of those roomy, comfortable street cars in a city of the second, third or even fourth class I immediately contrast it with the wood boxes we use in New York, and I find myself growing red in the face and biting my nails. Those Squeezer cars that prowl the streets of New York are surely the breathless limit, aren't they? The Squeezer car is the best genteel imitation of a rough-house that has ever been invented. They are called Squeezers because the conductor has to let the passengers out with a can opener. Brave and strong men climb into a street car, and they are full of health and life and vigor, but a few blocks of the road they fall out backward and inquire feebly for a sanitarium. To ride on a Broadway street car, for instance, about eight o'clock of an evening brings out all that is in a man, including a lot of loud words he didn't know he had. The last census shows us that the street cars in the city of New York have more ways of producing nervous prostration and palpitation of the brain to the square inch than the combined population of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Tinkerdam and Gotterdammerung. To get in some of the street cars about six o'clock is a problem, and to get out again is an assassination. One evening recently I rode from Forty-second street to Fifty-ninth street without once touching the floor with my feet. Some of the New York street cars lead a double life, because they are used all winter to act the part of refrigerators. It is a cold day when we cannot find it colder in the street cars. The germs in our street cars are extremely sociable and will follow a stranger all the way home. Often while riding in the New York street cars I have felt a germ rubbing against my ankle like a kitten. Being a gentleman, at least superficially, I did not reach down and kick it away, because the law says we must not be disrespectful to dumb brutes. Many of these street cars are built on the same general plan as a can of condensed milk. When you get out you cannot get in, and when you get in you cannot get out, because you hate to disturb the strange gentleman that is using your knee to lean over. Between the seats there is a space of two feet, but in that space you "Nobody Could Get in Our Section Bee will always find four feet, and their owners, unless one of them happens to have a wooden leg. Under ordinary circumstances four into two won't go, but the Squeezer cars defy the laws of gravitation. A Squeezer conductor can put twenty-six into nine, and still have four to carry. For a man with a small dining room the Squeezer car has its advantage, but when a stout man rides in them he finds himself supporting a lot of strangers he never met before. One morning I jumped on one of those Squeezers feeling just like a two year old, full of health and happiness. During the first seven blocks three men, fresh from a distillery, grew up in front of me and removed the scenery. One of them had to get out in a hurry, so he kicked me on the shins to show how sorry he was to leave me. One of the other two must have been in the distillery a long time, because pretty soon he neglected to use his memory and sat down in my lap. When I remonstrated with him, he replied that this is a free country, and if he wished to sit down I had no business to stop him. Then his friend pulled us apart, and I resumed the use of my lap. During the next twenty blocks I had one of the worst daylight marmas I ever rode behind. The party who had night been studying the exhibits of the distillery became obsessed with the idea that my foot was the loud pedal on a piano and he started to play the "Blue Danube Waltzes." That man was such a hard drinker that he gave me the gout just from standing on my feet. Then I jumped off and swore off and swore at and walked home. If the man who invented the idea of standing up between seats in a Squeezer is alive he should have a monument. My idea would be to catch him alive and place a monument on him, and have the conductor come around every ten minutes for his fare. I've been up and down and over and across in the surface cars and, my experience is ornamented by ripped trousers and discolored shins, but my intellect blows out a fuse every time I try to dope out the real way not to be an End-Seat Hog. Last Monday I jumped at an early-bird open-face car and it seemed that all the world was filled with joy and good wishes. I was smoking one of those Bad Boy cigars. I call it a Bad Boy cigar because as soon as it goes out it gets awful noisy. The car was empty with the exception of a couple of benches. Two blocks farther on the car stopped and a stout lady looked over the situation. I think she must have been color blind, because she didn't see the empty seats and decided to cast her lot with me. It was a terrific moment. "John," I said to myself, "don't be a Hog—move over!" And virtue triumphed. I moved over, and the stout lady settled squashfully into the end seat. Her displacement was about fifteen cents' worth of bench. After we had gone about ten blocks more every seat in the car in front and behind us was crowded, but nobody could get in our section because the fat lady held them at bay like Horatius held the bridge in the brave days of old. People would rush up to the car when it stopped, balance carelessly fore and aft until their eyes rested on the vacant seat in our direction, and then they would see the stout lady sitting there, as gracefully as a concrete Sphinx. The people would look at the stout lady with no hope in their eyes, and then, with a sigh, they would retire and wait for the next car. No one was brave enough to climb the mountain which grew up between him and the promised land. After a while I began to get a toothache in my conscience. "John," I said to myself in a hoarse whisper, "perhaps after all you were the Hog because you moved over. After the lady had climbed over you she would have kept on to the other end of the bench where now there is nothing but a sullen space." I began to insult myself. "John," I exclaimed inwardly, "what do you know about the etiquette of the street car? According to the newspapers it is only a Man who can be a Hog on the street cars, and since you are the original cause of blockading the port when you moved over, you must be the Hog!" Then I got so mad at myself that I cause the Fat Lady Held Them at Bay." refused to talk to myself any fur-ther. The next day I was riding downtown on the end seat with my mind made up to stay there and keep the harbor open for commerce. "Never," I said to myself, "never will anyone become a human Merrimac to bottle up the seating capacity of this particular bench while the blood flows through these veins and the flag of freedom waves above me." At the next corner a very thin little gentleman squeezed by me with a look of reproach on his face, the like of which I hope never to see again, but I was Charles J. Glue and firm in the end seat. Then a couple of Italy's sunny sons of the name of Microbeini and Germicide crawled over me and kicked their initials on my kneecap and then sat down to enjoy a smoke of domestic rope, which fell across my nostrils and remained there in bitterness. After I had been stepped on, sat on, clawed at and scowled at for twenty minutes, I began to discuss myself to myself. "John," I whispered, "do you really think that the general public appreciates your effort to keep the Harbor open?" And then myself replied to myself with a sigh of exhaustion, "I don't think!" "John," I said to myself, "no matter what your motives may be the other fellow will always believe you are trying to get the best of it. If you move over and give the end seat to another gentleman, he will consider it only as his right. If you don't move over he will think you are a Hog for keeping that which is as much yours as it is his." I began to grow confidential with myself. "Civilization is a fine idea, but Human Nature can give it cards and spades and then beat it out!" I told myself. "The Human Hog was invented long before the openface street car began to stop for him, and there isn't anybody living who should stop to throw stones at him, because selfishness is like the measles—it breaks out in unexpected places. All of us may not be Hogs, but there is a moment in the life of every man when he gets near enough to it to be called a Ham Sandwich." Just then the Disinfecti brothers. Microbeimi and Germicide, walked over me and I had a short but exciting visit to the slums. Since that eventful day I have moved over thirty-six times, and out of the thirty-six people I gave the end seat to all but three of them belonged to the Mucilage family, and stayed there. Therefore I made myself a severe promise not to worry any more about my Hog qualifications when movable or immovable on an openface car. I will do as my conscience dictates, and walk downtown as much as possible. And, speaking of street cars, I was in one of those cities recently where some of the cars stop on the near side of some of the streets and some stop on the far side of some of the streets. Honestly, they had me in the air. I left the hotel to attend to some business downtown and went over to the near side of the street to wait for a car. When the car came along I held my thumb up in the atmosphere warningly, but the motorman kept on to the far side and stopped. By the time I ran over to the far side he was gone again, and another car had stopped at the near side. When I rushed back to the near side the car passed me going to the far "Have the Conductor Come Around Every Ten Minutes for His Fare." side, and now the near side looked so much like the far side that I went back to the other side, which should have been the near side, but how could it be the near side when the car was on the far side, and I could not get near the side in time to catch the car before it was far away on the far side? Just as I rushed back again to the far side the near side became the nearer side to catch the car, and when I rushed over again from the far side to the near side the nearer I got to the near side the clearer I could see that while the far side was far away it was nearer than the near side, which was always on the far side when I hoped to take a car on the near side. Then I began to grit my teeth and made up my mind to anticipate the action of the next car by standing half way between the near side and the far side, so that I could run to either side the emergency called for. I was standing there about a minute, much pleased with the idea, because the near side was about as far away as the far side, when just then an automobile sneaked up behind me and one of the forward turrets struck me on my personal far side and hoisted me over to the near side just as a car left for the far side. I reached out my hand to grasp the far side step, but I missed it and caught the near side, and by this time the car was on the far side and the motorman grabbed the near side of the electric controller and pushed it over to the far side, whereupon the car started for El Paso, Tex., at a speed of about 3,000 miles a minute, and there I was with the near side of four fingers holding on to the far side of the step and the rest of my body sticking straight out in space like a pair of trousers on a clothesline in a gale of wind. New Idea in Gymnastics Cliff-climbing has become tame sport for the students of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. Sighing for a new method of testing the condition of the nerves, the physical instructor, W. Ward Beam, hit upon a decided novelty—crossing a river on a rope bridge. The idea possessed one charm: the outfit was cheap and easily portable, for it consisted of two stout ropes and nothing more. One rope, according to the plan broached to the eager students and co-eds by the physical instructor, was to serve as a support for the foot, the other to balance the one who essayed to cross a river on this precarious foothold. According to Mr. Beam, the object of the rope-walking is simply to harden the nerves of the students. We lack nerve, he says, chiefly because we never do anything to cultivate strength in that direction. This novel form of gymnastics is now a part of the college curriculum and the women students are as expert at it as the men. What He Meant.

KEEPING BABY WELL KEEPING BABY WELL MATTERS OF GREATEST INTEREST TO EVERY MOTHER. Care of Infant in City Much Greatest Than in Smaller Places - Welfare (Prepared by the Children's Bureau, U. S. Department of Labor.) There is no doubt that the problems which arise in taking care of a baby in summer are more difficult for the city mother than for the one who lives in a village or in the country. Overcrowded houses, lack of fresh air, of sunshine, and of open spaces for play and out-of-door life make very hard conditions under which to try to fear healthy children. During the summer months in most of the larger cities there is an enormous increase in the number of sick babies, many of whom fall to survive this period. These well-known facts have led to the establishment all over the country of what are known as infant welfare and milk stations. These stations are rooms in charge of trained nurses and physicians, to which any mother who desires may bring her baby for help and advice in his care. The object of these welfare stations is to keep the babies well, and to prevent illness by watching the babies closely and by teaching the mothers how to take care of them. If a baby is found to be sick the mother is referred to her own physician if she has one. If not, she is usually sent to a dispensary. The principal factor in keeping the baby well is to have him properly fed. Accordingly the physician who cares for the baby should direct this ver, carefully. If the mother has no physician, the station doctor will examine the baby and order a diet for him. The nurse will be glad to assist the mother in following out his directions, and will visit her in her home for this purpose. These stations are sometimes maintained by the city and sometimes by a private society. The mother can find out the location of the station nearest her home from the papers, or by inquiring of the health officer. The baby is weighed at each visit, and examined to see if he needs any special care. If so, the doctor explains this to the mother. The baby should be brought back to the station at regular intervals in order that the doctor and nurse can watch him. In this way much of the illness from which babies suffer can be prevented and mothers and babies spared a great deal of suffering. The mother who is expecting the birth of a baby should go to the station about once a month during her pregnancy for advice about herself. The doctor and nurse will tell her what food is best for her to eat, how to take care of the breasts and nipples, and help her to prepare for the baby's coming in the best way. If she is suffering from any ailment, such as vomiting, varicose veins, headache or swollen feet, she may learn what to do for these troubles, and if she desires, go to a hospital for the birth; the station doctor will probably be able to arrange the matter for her. After the baby is born and the mother is up again, she may, if she chooses, send word to the station nurse, who will come to see her, now and then, until the mother is able to take the baby to the station again. Mothers who are ill or worn out with the burdens of home, may find in a visit with the baby to such a station unexpected help in their problems. Some effort is made to teach mothers the rudiments of domestic science in the home, when this is needed. Mothers especially who go out to work by the day, should try to send the baby to the station by a caretaker, for such babies need the welfare station's help even more than others. If some member of the family is sick other than the baby and the baby is registered at the station, the nurses and doctors there will usually be able to advise her where and how to seek assistance. These infant welfare stations are intended for the use of all mothers in the neighborhood who need help in the care of their babies, and no one needing it, should fail to avail herself of this opportunity. Oil Cloth Table Mats Oil cloth table mats for the children will save many soiled table cloths. They can be made by taking either a square or an oblong of white linen, drawing threads and hemstitching all around. Sew on a back, making the finished article look very much like a pillow cover with one end open for the pillow. Into this slip a piece of oil cloth the size of the mat, and you will have a useful and attractive means of keeping the table neat. The child's initial embroidered in the center would add much to the beauty of the article. Apricot Dainty Apricot dainty is one of the nicest apricot dishes I know. Pare and cut in halves a dozen ripe apricots. Arrange them on the bottom of a glass dish and sprinkle thickly with sugar. Let them stand for several hours, then sprinkle with chopped walnuts and rolled macaroons. Pour a rich boiled custard over them, and top with a meringue of the whites of eggs. Flavor with almond. Stand in crushed ice and salt till very cold.—Exchange. Dates and Cream for Breakfast Dates and cream for breakfast. Take about one half pound of dates, cover with tboiling water, stir and separate them in the water with a silver fork, then pour them from the water to an agate pan and pour them in the oven for three or four minutes to dry off. Cut each date in halves and remove stone. Serve with cream. To Keep Pies From Burning To prevent cakes, pies and other pastry from burning on the bottom, sprinkle the bottom of the oven with fine, dry salt, and your cake or pies will bake perfectly.

RICH IN RESOURCES Russia Faces Indefinite Future of Warfare Undismayed. "The Most Powerful Country of the Future" Was Just Finding Itself When War Broke Out—Wealth Untouched. Washington, D. C.—With the greatest wholesale destruction of treasure in all history taking place, with war-wrought economic losses piling up in such stupendous aggregates as no panic ever caused, the question as to how long each of the belligerents can stand the fearful strain upon its resources is becoming as important and fully as interesting as are any of those more stirring questions growing out of the purely military phase of the world-war. In a bulletin just issued, the National Geographic society sketches the pre-war economic condition of Russia, which, having expended $3,500,000,000, having lost hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign trade, and cities and provinces worth hundreds of millions more, is facing an indefinite future of warfare undismayed, confident. The bulletin reads: "Commercial and industrial revolution were stirring in Russia before the war; the work of opening its magnit- cent domain was being rapidly carried forward; plans for developing its almost unlimited resources were in process of confident organization; modern cities were springing up like mushrooms in rich Siberia; textile, metal and other industries were laying firm foundations, and foreign trade had been brought up to about $1,500,000,000. What has been called 'the most powerful country in the future was finding itself, and was preparing to enter upon the centuries of expansion that it will need to exhaust the possibilities of its boundless natural wealth. "About two and one-half times larger than the United States, with an area of 8,650,000 square miles and a population of 170,000,000, which is increasing at the rate of 3,000,000 a year. Russia's natural resources resemble those of this country, and are proportionate. It has nearly 900,000,000 acres of forest—compared with the 544,400,000 acres of the United States—much of which, even now, is carefully administered, and which, one day, will be the world's first source of timber. It has 250,000,000 acres of land under cultivation, while this country has a cultivated area of about twice as great; but Russia can expand her farm lands twenty-fold and still leave virgin land to the future. It can become the granary and the stock farm of the world. "Scarcely two score years have passed since Russia began with serious purpose the task of her internal development. Progress, during the first thirty years of this period was hesitant. In the last decade, however, it has doubled its foreign trade, of which 56 per cent is exports; still this foreign commerce is less than half that of the United States. But Russia before the war had scarcely begun to gather steam for the prosecution of her tasks. There remain hundreds of millions of acres of fat lands to be brought under the plow; tens of thousands of factory plants to build; rich mines to be opened; great railway and canal systems to be built; millions of home-builders to be moved into Siberia, the silver East of the czar's empire, and many millions of illiterates to be educated to a higher standard of life and efficiency. "Russia is a vast storehouse of raw materials, and must for many years remain a purchaser of machinery and manufactured goods in increasing quantities. Yet the mills of Russia consume $130,000,000 worth of raw cotton annually, and Russian iron and steel rails have already found their way into competition in the markets of the world. Germany bought more from Russia than any other three countries, and sold to the Russians about half of all their imports. These two empires did a tremendous, thriving business with one another before the war, and a great stream of German capital flowed into the northern COPPER AS HARD AS STEEL Maine Blacksmith Claims to Have Discovered Centuries' Lost Art of Tempering Copper. Milbridge, Me.-James Walter Foss, the village blacksmith, sixty-seven years old, says he has discovered the centuries' lost art of tempering copper. He shows copper knives that will whittle long shavings from a hickory wagon spoke, and a copper draw shave that slices the knots in the empire for investment. England, Holland, Austria-Hungary and Italy, in the order named, followed Germany in business with the Russians. German trade promotion was thoroughly organized throughout the land, and in Petra, Rigetmor andGCrown names of thousands of German firms could be seen. "Russia, as are but few other great nations, is self-sustaining in the matter of raw materials; but the Muscovite empire is dependent upon the factories of other lands for every step that it may take in the upward scale; it is even dependent upon foreign manufactures to maintain standards in its wide-sweeping territory as high as they are today. There is fabulous riches awaiting transmutation by Russian industry, but Russian industry has hardly passed the birth." GLAD TO GET BACK UNDERWOOD UNDERWOOD Maj. J. George W. Goethals, governor of the Canal zone, arrived in New York recently on board the S. S. Pastores. He said he would offer his resignation to take effect in November. Colonel Goethals is accompanied by his wife and son Thomas, and is here on a leave of absence to visit the Panama-Pacific exposition. The colonel expects to be put on the active army list, and if this is not possible, he will ask for his retirement with the rank of brigadier-general. He told newspaper men that he intended to visit the exposition as a private individual, and desired that no fuss be made about him by any of the officials. That Mrs. Goethals is anxious to leave the Canal zone permanently was shown by a remark she made shortly after the ship left quarantine and started for the pier: "I hope never to go back," she said. STAND ON ANCIENT RIGHTS Northwestern Indians insist on Fishing Without Licenses According to Old Treaty. Bellingham, Wash. — Attorney-General W. V. Tanner came here to confer with County Attorney W. P. Brown relative to issuing informations for the arrest of Indians for alleged illegal fishing, County Attorney Brown having declined to issue informations recently for the arrest of five Lummis who had been picked up by a deputy State fish commissioner.

By FREDERICK PALMER. British Headquarters, France.—The "Keecheenahres," as the French peasants call the new army, have joined "Tommee Akeens," the regular, and the "Tereeoreeals" at the front. Tommee begins to feel like the oldest inhabitant. By the way, he does not like to be called "Tommy," though the world persists in a word which is as objectionable to him as "Jacky" is to the American bluejacket. The British regular did all the fighting for the first five months of the war. He had his jokes at the expense of the Territorials, who are about the same as our National Guard, when they arrived. The Territorials thought that they were made soldiers when the war broke out; but they were drilled some more and set to digging reserve trenches behind the line. In the spring they had their turn, and the Canadians, too. "Don't be downhearted! There are still some Boches left!" the Territorials join the regulars in saying to the new army. Beside the new army the Territorials feel like G. A. R. men. "It's kind of you! We knew that you could have killed them all off, if you had wanted to," the Kitcheners reply. "Don't charge too fast! Wait for us to catch up!" call the regulars. "We'll wait on the Rhine!" answer the new army. Well named is the new army. It has brought a new element into life at the front. When I heard the tramp of a company past my window the other morning I guessed they were new army men by the peculiar vigor and precision of their tread on the pavement. They bore the stamp of long route marches over English roads and of the merciless formal training of the drill ground. If the average old-timer of the trenches had to run five miles against the average new army man he would be blown half away and the new army man would trot past the goal an easy winner. The other night when one heard some soldiers billeted in a barn singing one was certain without asking that they were new army men. The British regular rarely sings in camp or on the march. Neither elated or depressed he plugs along doing his day's work. As the new army flows in he will be outnumbered but unchanged. Those new army men were singing "God Save the King" before they lay down in the straw for the night in the land of France which was all so new and strange to them and so commonplace to the veterans. Their fresh young voices were pleasant to the ear. "It is good. The Keecheenaires sing and whistle as they march," say Everyone hopes they will keep on singing. If there is any ornament which is obsolete at the front it is the sword. The sword is the officer's symbol of authority; the sign that he is on duty. In place of it the officer at the front wears his sword belt. His sword along with countless other swords has been checked outside the cloakroom of war along with his umbrella which no one thinks of carrying at the front. You cannot tell him from the other officers except by his eagerness and his battalion insignia. For ten months the new army had waited for its Mecca. Its soldiers have read all about the effects of modern shell fire. They know what they are in for. Learners, they came among experts expecting to be maged a great deal as novices by the old hands, and except for the veteran regular's little jokes at their expense they have found everybody very kind. "We need you—and there can't be too many of you," say the old-timers. "It's you who must finish the job which we have begun." There are men in this new army who have incomes of ten thousand a year digging trenches beside a man who had not a shilling when he enlisted, university graduates taking their baptism of shell fire as privates who "pal up" with men who can hardly read and write. "We like the Keecheenaires," said a Frenchman. "They are all classes shoulder to shoulder the same as in our army. Rich or poor, a man is nothing except the life he can give for his country. THIS DOG CATCHES FISH THIS DOG CATCHES FISH Water Spaniel Supplies the Needs of Owner and Neighbors in Indiana. Aurora, Ind.—James C. Duggens, a farmer, who lives on the Laughery Creek, has a water spaniel that is noted along the stream for its method of catching fish. The dog has caught several hundred pounds during the last few months for its owner and his neighbors. The dog dives into the water and soon appears with a fish in its mouth, and will repeat its diving for several hour at a time. He says that he hopes to get enough out of his discovery to spend his last days without work and then the world is welcome to it. He is sixty-seven years old and thinks he has worked long enough, but until he made his discovery it looked like years more of labor for him. Lacrosse an Indian Game.

"If you please, sir," remarked Ezra Bartlett, bookkeeper for the Vulcanite Rubber works at Springville," it has been the custom for many years for the plant to recognize the graduation exercises of the town high school." Witten Dacre looked up hurriedly and somewhat irritably from an analysis of a large war order for army bicycle tires. He had been summoned from initial legal duties into the city six months since to assume charge of the plant business when his father had died. He had found the enterprise a vast paying one, but methods and workers in slovenly ruts. He had been arbitrarily exacting in introducing a new system and it was hard to beat his progressive ideas into the brains of others. However, he was liberal and humane and hoped that time would successfully establish his model and modern ideas. "To recognize the high school graduation exercises?" repeated Dacre. "I don't understand you." "Why, sir," old Ezra hastened to volubly explain, "your father for years sought to encourage local advancement by donating fifty dollars in gold each year as a prize for the best essay produced by a member of the graduating class, and—" "Make it one hundred, this time," directed Dacre in his crisp business way. "Telephone, Mr. Dacre," spoke the office boy just here, and the parted lips of the bookkeeper closed, about to add something to what he had already said. "It will keep. I'd better not spring too much on the boss at one time. Then he chuckled as he made out a check for a hundred dollars and wrote a letter to accompany it to the town school board, stating its purpose. The town paper expatiated duly and in a commendatory way on "the marked liberality of our Mr. Dacre." The school exercises took place; Dacre was invited, but was too busy A man and a woman are standing in a room. The man is wearing a suit and holding a hat, while the woman is wearing a dress and a hat. They are facing each other, and the man is looking at the woman. "Just Wait a Moment, Miss Morris, Please." to attend. He had forgotten all about the incident when, the day after the exercise, old Ezra introduced once again upon his office privacy. "If you please, sir," he observed temporarily, "the high school business." "Why, I thought that was over and done with?" returned Dacre. "Yes, sir; surely, sir, but—" "You made the donation?" "Sure!," but—" "Well, what next?" "The winner of the prize, Mr. Dacre, You set, in addition to giving that, the custom of the works has been to honor the winner with a starting position in life, at the works here. An honored, cherished custom, sir. My junior assistant was the prize winner three years ago. Young Mr. Brown in the shipping department was the winner two years ago. Last year young Watson, the checker, was the favored one." "Is there room for the present graduate?" inquired Dacre quickly, anxious to get to work to his business papers. "Why, yes, sir. Your stenographer, Mr. Timms, leaves next week." "All right. Bring your new boy around and I'll look him over." "But, sir—" began Ezra, in a great state of perturbation, "it's not—" "Telephone," announced the office boy just here, and Mr. Dacre became immediately absorbed, and Ezra, his face distressed and anxious, backed out of the room, with the unsteady words: "How am I goin; to tell him!" Whatever was on his mind, however, of the unsolved problem indicated, Ezra grasped the dilemma by the horns. When Wilton Dacre came down to the office the next morning STILL REMAINS A PUZZLE Lovers of Dickens Long Have Pondered Over His Creation of "Harold Skimpole." Was Harold Skimpole, in "Bleak House," a caricature of Leigh Hunt? The old literary enigma received attention again by the discovery of a hitherto unpublished letter of Charles Dickens by "C. K. S.," reproduced in his literary columns in the London Sphere. This new letter is probably an answer to the last appeal Leigh Hunt made to the novelist to give assurance, in a public manner that the wretched creature Skimpole was not a portrait of himself. Zealous Dickens have done their utmost to clear the novelist's name in respect of this charge of cruelly caricaturing a noble man, but they receive little if any support from Dickens' own words. And the new letter is only one more evasion. "My dear Leigh Hunt," he writes from Gad's Hill in June, 1859, "I am not a man of the world; matter nor; will I forget it. To alter Ezra met him in the main office and pointed to his private room. "In there, sir," he observed timorously. "Who? What do you mean?" "The prize-winning graduate, sir," responded Ezra, and halted. Dacre entered his private office, tossed his hat on top of his desk and turned around, intent on making short work of his visitor. Then he drew back after an embarrassing stare. Seated beside his desk, smiling, pretty and blushing like a fresh June rose, was a young girl. He was the respectful, considerate gentleman at once. "I hope I will do," she spoke; "and oh, sir! I want to thank you so much. The money means a great deal to me, for you know I am an orphan and Aunt Letty is poor. But the position! If only my shorthand is quick enough for you." The hard business lines softened down in the face of the master of the plant. He did not reply at once. A flashing memory of a woman who had won his regard and deceived him four years agone opened the gates to dreams of a new ideal of truth and loveliness, closed rigidly after the one bitter disappointment of his life. Then all that was yearning and tender in his soul went out to the eager-faced, innocent girl before him, too artless to conceal her joy at being placed in business life. "I—I shall have to speak with my bookkeeper. Miss—" began Dacre, blundering and off his balance like some bashful schoolboy. "Eva, sir—Eva Morris." "Just wait a moment, Miss Morris, please. What the thunder!" he burst forth upon the shrimking Ezra in the outer room. "Not a female in the place! I thought it was a boy—" "Yes, sir; but, you see, a girl beat them all to first place this year. You wouldn't give me time to tell you about it. She's a little model of industry, Mr. Dacre. "Till you for her there. As to having a girl around—why, sir, it will make it more cheerful," and then the old rascal chuckled as Dacre went off, reading in his employer's face a decided leaning towards an innovation in the system of the place. Eva did finely. There was not a great deal of stenographic work to do. She was bright, smart, an excellent correspondent. She liked her employer, she was the pet of the workmen. Dacre was called away for a month on important business. He was surprised and pleased when he returned. Somehow, things looked brightened up. In the outer office the clerical force now had their hats and coats hung up in an orderly way on hooks, where before they had been flung carelessly about. The private office was neat as a pin. The old ragged shades had been reversed and turned. A vase filled with flowers ornamented his desk. For the first time in its history the washroom of the working hands contained clean roll towels. The sight of brush and comb in a homemade cardboard case, trimmed with a bit of blue ribbon, made Dacre smile at the incongruity, and yet somehow thrilled his heart with pleasure. And from these minor invasions of the grim rules of the works, Eva began to advance along more material lines. Dacre was amazed at many a practical suggestion she made in consonance with his material business interests. More than ever he felt the vast void in his being, craving for sympathy and interested companionship. The sweet, pretty girl at his side, always smiling, accommodating and grateful, seemed to have woven an irresistible charm about his heart. "Dictation," he said one day, coming into the office, a mighty resolve in his mind, and the ready hand of his stenographer touched the keyboard. "Miss Eva Morris," dictated Dacre tersely, "I love you—will you, be my wife?" The fair head dropped, the wildrose blush on the beautiful face deepened. He watched her trembling hand breathlessly as a slender, shapey finger delivered three radiant notes, clicking rapidly into his longing soul: "YES." (Copyright, 1915, by W. G. Chapman,) Oriental immigration. When two peoples find that their standards repel like oil and water they do not care to associate. Naturally, then, the oriental immigrants tend to huddle in colonies in which they may live in the old way, keep their pride and spare themselves the pains of adjustment to American ideals. Not only do such colonies check the assimilation of those who must need it, but they are apt to be nests of congestion, disease and deprivacy, as well as hotbeds for the propagation of false and impractical ideas of political and social freedom. In His Business. "That policeman is too conscientious to be a gardener." "What do you mean?" "He arrested the growth of a vine on his house when he found it climbing through a window." the book itself would be to revive a forgotten absurdity, and to establish the very association that is to be denied and discarded . . . . "But, as "C. K. S." points out in his commentary on this literary find, there is ample evidence that Dickens was sorry for the portrait and vowed "never to do so any more." Who Spoils the Children? There was a discussion held recently among a crowd of men about the spoiling of children. Some of the men said it was the father's fault: "They give the boys about the same amount of time every day that it takes them to shave. If they took, the job of father seriously and really put some time and thought on it, there would be a different story." But most of the fellows seemed to blame the mothers. Oldest and Best.

EUROPEAN CAVES and EARLY MAN By N. C. NELSON FROM THE AMERICAN MUSEUM JOURNAL THE ROCKS INDENTATION IN LIMESTONE CLIFF TO SHELTER EARLY MAN INDENTATION IN LIMESTONE CLIFF TO SHELTER EARLY MAN HERE are recorded at the present time for the southern two-thirds of Europe, including Mediterranean Asia and Africa, no less than four hundred paleolithic stations, that is, places where remains of one kind or another have been left behind by early man. This man was primarily a hunter and his chief center of activity appears to have been what is now southwestern France and northeastern Spain, although Germany, Austria, Italy, Belgium, England, and to a lesser degree other countries, came within his range. This apparent distribution may be deceptive, however. Many of the stations are out in the open, as for example on the valley terraces of the Thames and the Somme; but the majority of the sites, especially those of later times, are sheltered in some way. The shelter may consist merely of an overhanging cliff, it may be a grotto yawning on the mountain side and it may be the far interior of a cave. This latter type of site it is relatively easy to find by making a deliberate search while the location of an ancient camp or workshop in the open country is the result only of chance. It is conceivable of course that these roaming, migratory hunters returned seasonally to the natural shelters, but on the other hand, it is possible that many of them built huts—some of the geometric cave paintings suggest that they did—and unless these huts stood in very close proximity to some sheltering cliffs, all traces of the spot and its relics would be lost. Hence, we may properly take for granted that hundreds of archeological stations will remain undiscovered, in consequence of which our notion of the actual strength of the population at any given place during these early millenniums or human existence must continue imperfect, if not inadequate. As need hardly be stated the presence of natural habitations depends ordinarily on a high relief or a more or less mountainous topography. Caves are most abundant in volcanic regions as in the western United States, or in limestone areas such as Kentucky and adjacent common wealths. Shelters are notable features of steep walled valleys or box-canyons and our own cliff dweller region affords the best example of them and their utilization. In Europe the most famous cave groups are located in the lower French Pyrenees and their Cantabrian extension in north Spain, while the equally famous shelter region includes short sections of the Vezere and Beunvalleys at Les Eyzies, in the French department of Dordogne. Both regions are wonderfully picturesque and impressive, and barring some alterations in the flora they have not changed much in general appearance since the arrival of paleolithic man. These caves and shelters are all in limestone formations and are the results chiefly of mechanical erosion. Some of the caves, especially those of the lower altitudes, are still in process of making, while others, well up on the mountain sides, are very ancient—in fact, were their old age when man first entered them. Roughly speaking, the shelters proper, that for the overhanging cliffs and the wide open grottoes were the homes of paleolithic man and therefore naturally furnish us with important data concerning his physical make-up, his practical ability and the general nature of his everyday life. The caves, on the other hand, served him mainly as galleries for a remarkable series of paintings, ergravings and carvings, which in a measure reveal to us his mental attitude toward life. The caves it must be understood, were exceedingly dark and damp, ordinarily unfit for habitation, except possibly as temporary, retreat during the hard winter, and contrariwise, the shelter walls, having been exposed for thousands of years to the weathering elements, could not have preserved for us either paintings or delicate engravings that may have been made upon them. There are several somewhat qualifying exceptions to these sweeping statements however. For instance, the Garga cavern, near Montrejeau, France, and likewise the Altamira cave, near Santander, Spain, appear to have been occupied for protracted periods, although in both cases only very close to the entrance. On the other hand, some of the shelters such as Cap Blanc, near Les Eyzies, France have preserved, mainly through accident, a fine series of high relief sculptures. But as a general thing the camp sites are in large half-open shelters, usually facing the sun, while the entrance to the painted caves face in any direction, and for the most part are very small and inconspicuous. At Castillo only there is the perfect combination—a large, sunny grotto, which was occupied periodically throughout most of paleolithic time and which served besides as the vestibule to a considerable cave, famous for its mural art. An examination of the various Dordogne shelters, coupled with a study of the changing type found in them, is most instructive. Nearly all of the stations here are at the base of the high cliffs that hedge the narrow valleys on one or both sides; but in a few instances the relic-bearing debris lies on an eroded ledge some distance up the face of the protecting wall.

Almost within FLIGHTS OF HOMING PIGEONS Remarkable Records Have Been Made by Birds Trained to Do Their Utmost. The present world champion is Bullet D-1872, owned by Mr. O. W. Anderson of Fort Wayne, Ind. The bird was hatched in 1909. When four and a half months of age, training was begun. She was taken first two, then five, eight, fifteen, twenty-four, fifty, and then seventy-five miles away ENTRO MAS VEZERE RIVER, ITS FLOODPLAIN AND CLIFF WALL. earshot of Les Eyzies are a series of stations which taken together furnish data on human history practically from Acheuilian times to the present day. These stations begin with the old obscured shelter of La Micoque, include the partially ruined shelters of Upper and Lower Laugerie; another ledge-shelter that served old-time brigands as a rendezvous and also as a fortress to defy the English in 1410; still another ledge marked by ruins of what looks like some old baronial chateau; and end up finally with the more or less well-knew houses of the modern peasant. These houses often stand on several meters of ancient relic-bearing debris and seem to cling in an infantile sort of way to the over-hanging cliff in spite of its cold, damp nature. Some distance up the Vezere, at the Rock of St Christopher, where the last houses have been removed, there are over four meters of debris dating from neolithic to present time, and the adjacent cliff is marked by several series of parallel holes, cut for the insertion of ceiling beams, precisely as we find them in our own Southwest. Some of these holes are high up the cliff, but others are below the surface of the accumulated debris, which is itself the high-water mark of the river. With all this evidence suggestive of continuous occupation, it is not to be wondered at that some students profess to see among the local inhabitants a number of individuals that resemble the physical type of paleolithic man. A visit to the painted caves is the experience of a lifetime; but while it is an adventure bound to excite more enthusiasm than the examination of the shelters, it is less instructive and certainly less convincing. It is also an undertaking fraught with some difficulty and disappointment, except perhaps in such cases as Altamira, Niaux and Font-de-Gaume. The painted and Incised representations on the cave walls are seldom so plain and striking as one might infer from the superb reproductions in the published reports, and to make them out the visitor must take time. In this effort to decipher, he is most ably assisted by Prof. Emile Cartallahc of Toulouse, who has given a good part of his life to the study of paleolithic art and who as present guards nearly all the Pyrenean caverns. In Spain and in the Dordogne country, however, local guides must be taken, and as these are not always competent, the student who would profit by his opportunity must prepare himself beforehand in regard to what is to be seen and then insist on being shown, or he may not see much. The last cave to be discovered, and also the most beautiful, is the Tue d'Audoubert, located on the estate of Count Begouen, near Sant-Girons, France. It is perhaps the most difficult cavern to explore. But to risk passage in the improvised boat that the visitor must sail in order to reach the interior, and to crawl on his stomach along muddy passages that are really too small for a full-grown man, and finally to receive innumerable bumps on his head from pending stalactites is not too much to pay for the privilege—which, as it happened, was accorded the Museum's representative as the first American—to see the wonders inside. Ordinarily, the natural wonders of the caverns are more or less discolored with mud, but here is gallery after gallery of bewildering forests of pillars and pendants and posts—all a pure white and glittering as if studded with myrlands of diamonds. Here and there the stalactites hang in large sheets like folded draperies and by placing a light behind them the translucent substance flashes up in colors of green and rose too beautiful to be described. No fairy palace was ever more adorned! You are led along devious passages, stepping again and again in lakelets of invisibly clear water, and when on dry footing you are warned to move circumspectly for fear of obliterating some ancient human footprints that are faintly visible under the thin coat of stalagmite which covers the clay floor. Bones and skulls of the giant cave bear and other animals lie all about, cemented in place. Finally, near the extreme inner end of the cavern, comes the real object of the la and allowed to return. (This training was distributed, of course, over several weeks.) She was then entered in the 100-mile and 200-mile races. In 1910 she was again given the above preliminary training races, and allowed to compete in the 200, 300, 400 and 500-mile races. In 1911 and 1912 she was given the same amount of training. In 1913, after the preliminary flights, she won the 200 and the 500-mile races, flying the 500-hundred-mile race in about seven hours. Shortly after this flight the S twenty-five feet away in a low side chamber is to be seen the place where the modeler scraped together the clay off the floor and kneaded it. Two or three worked rolls of his material still lie there. The whole thing looks as if done a week ago, and yet the bison has been absent from the locality probably for thousands of years. twenty-five feet away in a low side chamber is to be seen the place where the modeler scraped together the clay off the floor and kneaded it.

The least suggestion of skepticism is in keeping with the general impression that the visitor retains from the painted caves. It is a most baffling experience. When the investigation is confined to the stratified deposits everything is beautifully simple. Art objects have a definitely ascertainable place in the series and go back to Aurignacian times. The cave proper is of the same general style as that of the stratified refuse and must of course be of the same date; moreover, the animals represented are in nearly all cases either extinct or absent from the region. And yet almost all the mural figures in the caves are within reach of the hand. In other words, the caves have undergone no particular changes since the artist did his work. Not a few of the paintings, and especially the finer engravings seem as fresh as if done yesterday. In the Pindal cave is the representation of a fish incised on the wall and the visitor who examines it closely would swear that he could make a line exactly like it with a lead pencil, but with Professors Breul and Obermaier standing behind him he says nothing. And how did paleolithic man manage to get about in these caves? It is unsafe to move ten steps in them without a light. It is true that a very few stone basins have been found that may have served purposes similar to the Eskimo lamp, or the artist's right-hand man may have carried a torch; but there are no signs of such torches or of carbonization on the walls in the vicinity of the paintings, although smoke spots made by modern lamps and candles held too close are abundant enough. The conviction that this cave art is not so old as some would have us believe seems irresistible.

The bird was liberated at 4:30 a. m., July 11, 1913, and homed at 4 p. m., July 12, the flying time being 'one day, eleven hours, thirty minutes, and six seconds. In this same race a bird belonging to Mr. John Schilling homed at 11:30 a. m. the following day (July 13), and a third bird, belonging to Mr. F. Nahrwald, a half hour later. All of the above races were flown under the rules of the American Racing Pigeon borous journey, viz. the representations of two bison (male and female) modeled in clay. The figures, which are about two feet in length, are propped against the sloping side of a rock which rises from the floor, and in front of the animals on the floor there are some tracings as if the artist had here sketched and improvised before beginning his real work.

The best previous record for one thousand miles was made by a pigeon belonging to H. Beech of Fort Wayne, in 1912, the time being two days, nine hours, and some odd minutes. And this record lowered the time made in 1910 by a bird belonging to Mr. L. Gebert of the same city, this time being three days, eleven hours and some odd minutes. Such records will probably never be beaten except by happy combinations of strong favorable wind and clear warm weather—Harpens Magazine. HOME TOWN HELPS CLEAN MINDS; CLEAN CITIES People Must Be Educated to the Necessity of Proper Appearance of Municipality. "I'm as good as you are," said the dirty man to the well-dressed gentle- man in the street car who had drawn away from him a bit. "You may be right," answered the clean one, "but you certainly don't smell as good." "Lord!" exclaimed a visitor to one of the most populous sections of Boston. "What smells there are here." "Yes," agreed the social worker of the party, "we've got to clean out a lot of minds before we'll get rid of this dirt." "You have to clean minds!" "Surely. Dirty minds make dirty people, and dirty people make a dirty town. The idea of cleanliness must be put in the minds of those present standards of cleanliness are elemental. "The woman who will tolerate cobwebs in the corner of her ceiling has cobwebs in the corners of her mind. Disorder in a home is evidence of the presence of minds that are disorderly. Our surroundings always reflect what we are within. To make these streets clean we must create in the people who live here a desire for clean streets." "Do you mean to say that the people here are content with all this dirt around them?" the visitor asked with surprise. "The majority of them are. What the majority really and truly wants, the majority can have." The speaker was silent for a few moments. When they reached the next corner, he said, "If there was on this street one man or woman who wanted more than anything else to have this street cleaned and made sweet-smelling, the work would be done." "The old story of Sodom and Gomorrah, eh!" observed the cynic—Ford Hall Folks. ADDS TO CITY'S APPEARANCE Form of Street Lamp That Is Coming Into General Use Throughout the Country. Besides forming a very attractive support for a street lamp, this re-en- forced concrete post also offers a convenient place for displaying street signs. At the top of the pole is a 12 inch frosted-glass globe in which there is a high-candlepower electric lamp. Surrounding the globe is a square framework in which four strips of blue glass, carrying the street names in white letters, are held. During either the day or night, the name of the street and its intersecting thoroughfare are thus plainly visible when the pole is placed at a Mechanics. forced coo also offer venient displaying signs.

It must not, in any point, resemble a piece of masonry or other formal construction, says a writer in the Minneapolis Journal. The most satisfactory location for it is at the foot of a gentle slope, where it can climb the decivility and the rocks be given the appearance of jutting out from the hillside. But very excellent results may be achieved on flat surfaces if it is remembered to let the rocks appear to crop out on the surface rather than appear to be placed there for a purpose. The rock garden should have its highest point or beginning at some natural or artificial boundary—a wall, or better still, a clump of trees and shrubbery which will serve to mask its origin. From this vantage point it may extend in a natural way to the limits marked out for it; here an isolated bowler, here a group of less pretentious stones and again a group of large stones may find room in their pockets for a small tree. The extent may be two or three rods in width at one end and gradually narrow until at the other it becomes an occasional rock on the lawn. Many Factors Affect Cost. Certain preliminary estimates given in connection with this series of house plans are necessarily subject to change. For instance, digging a cellar in rocky, hilly ground would cost more than the same job might cost elsewhere. Materials vary in cost as individual tastes differ. Most of the houses shown in this series have been built about Boston. The estimates given, therefore, are of actual costs. Do not neglect, however, to allow for the inevitable "extras" that crop up in the course of any building operation. An Ancient Frizee. "These Egyptian frizes tell a story if we could but read them. Now, look at the driver of this chariot. He is holding up five fingers. I wonder what that signifies." "I judge he was operating a jitney chariot."—Kansas City Journal. What is it?

HAPPENINGS of the week IN MISSOURI The last of the "tax dodging" cases were disposed of at a special term of the Clay county circuit court recently. One case against Gilbert Barr of Kearney, charged with failing to make proper returns to the assessor, was tried before a jury, which gave a verdict of acquittal. A case of the same nature against A. E. King of Excelsior Springs was dismissed by Prosecuting Attorney Simrall. . . . The mayor and board of aldermen of Bevier, together with a joint committee from the Commercial Club, are figuring on a bond proposition to increase the street lighting facilities and for other street improvements. It is estimated that it will take $10,000 or $15,000 to meet the improvements and properly finance them.

C. Hudson, 84 years old, pioneer farmer and capitalist of Northeast Missouri, is dead at his home in Montgomery after an illness of one year. A widow and five children are living. Hudson spent his entire life in Warren and Montgomery counties. The St. Louis mayor's commission on river terminals has voted to recommend to the board of aldermen the appropriation of $250,000 for the construction of a municipal river dock. F. L. Waterfield, a car repairer for the Wabash railroad, died at Mobery from injuries received when he fell from the top of a box car in the railroad yards. The body of A. H. Schneck, 65 years old, a farmer, was found in a hog pen on his farm near Hannibal. It is believed he died from heart trouble while he was climbing into the pen. Charles McKinney, one of the oldest men in Clay county, is dead at the home of his son, W./N. McKinney, in Excelsior Springs. He was 86 years old and had lived in Missouri since 1850, with the exception of a trip to California in 1852, when the gold rush was on.

There are two other children in the family whose birthdays fall within a day of each other. John D. O'Rear, the American minister to Bolivia arrived in Mexico recently to spend a month's vacation with his family.

As a result of the election the plans for the construction of the St. Louis Springfield motor car highway were given a big boost. Two days' rain in the Ozarks has recently raised the White River six feet above the highest record in many years Please Pass the Pomelo. Don't say "grapefruit." What has long been known by that name is henceforth to be called "pomelo." The United States department of agriculture has decided that the fruit should be rechristened because its former name has become so misleading. The cultivated fruit no longer grows in clusters, like gigante buncheg of grapes, as it did in its uncultivated state. The fruit grows in groups of *wo* or three, but generally singly. 19 Kansas City's Premier Dancing Mas The Peoples Dancing Academy Hall, Cottage and Vine street is a very desirable hall, can make this the greatest dancing Prof. F.
