Advertise it in The Sun and let it be bringing you in something. The most interesting primary campaign which Kansas City has witnessed in a great many years is now in progress in the Republican party. The interest is in a great measure due to the peculiar conditions that exist and the fact that the campaign is being made without the inspiring influence of rival candidates for the nomination. In the primary of the Democratic party which has just been settled this week a great interest was developed because it was generally recognized that the contest was a life and death struggle between the two factions that have dominated the affairs of the party locally during the last few years and that the result would likely mean the political end of either the one or the other. In the Republican primaries the situation is different. In spite of the fact that during the last three months at least a score of good men have been suggested as possible nominees on the Republican ticket as possible candidates for mayor, and in spite of the fact that most any one of the men suggested would be willing to accept the nomination upon the Republican ticket, as the political straws which are blowing about indicate quite strongly that the man who runs upon the Republican ticket will be the next mayor of Kansas City, the field has remained comparatively open and all patriotic Republican are willing to leave the make- MRS.

She has just recently completed a handsome new duplex. ing o fthe decision up to the convention which has been set for February 28. at Convention Hall. In practically all of the wards uninstructed delegates will be selected to attend the Republican city convention as there seems to be a clearly defined notion in the minds of Republicans generally that this is the proper method to be pursued if the harmony of the party is to be restored and the election of the ticket accomplished. Not only are the party leaders practically unanimous in this sentiment, but there are also in accord with it most of the men who are at all times leaders in movements which are not considered party matters, but whose interest in public affairs is prompted by their convictions as to what they believe to be for the best interest of the city. In the lists of uninstructed delegates so far selected are to be found the names of such men as ex-mayor Henry M. Beardsley, D. J. Haff, E. C. Meserv, O. V. Dodge and other men who have been prominent for the part they have played in the promotion of the welfare of the city. In the wards of the city in which the Negro vote is strong, the Fifth, Eighth and Eleventh, there is a general sentiment in favor of uninstructed delegations as is evidenced by the action of the colored Republican clubs in these wards in passing resolutions declaring themselves in favor of this policy. Especially in the Eighth ward is the situation interesting. In this ward the majority of the Republican vote is overwhelmingly colored and the colored voters under the leadership of the two colored committeemen from that ward, W. C. Hueston and Marshall E. Carter, expressed early in the contest a desire that the ward delegation should go to the city convention uninstructed. In spite of their expressed preference the two white committeemen from the ward, Edward Jewell and Harry Koehler saw fit to attempt to deliver the ward against the preference of a majority of the voters. As The Kansas City Sun a result the Eighth ward will be the scene of one of the most spirited contests in the city on next Thursday, February 24, the day on which the Republican primary will be held. The lines have been thrown out for the battle, Hueston and Carter have thoroughly organized their forces and are going to the primaries fully confident of a victory for their uninstructed delegation. At the beginning of the contest a number of the colored leaders of the ward had lined up with the "Hale for Mayor" movement before the sentiment for an uninstructed delegation had developed, but as soon as Mr. Hale announced his withdrawal from the contest they brought their strength to the fight which is being made by the two colored committeemen with the result that the strong men of the ward are now a unit-for the delegation. Every precinct in the Eighth is organized and all the colored precincts are in charge of a colored precinct captain and a corps of lieutenants, and on Tuesday evening of this week at a meeting of the voters held in the auditorium of The Kansas City Sun office a campaign committee of seventy-five was selected. This committee will give two big mass meetings in the ward before next Thursday, the first at Lyric hall on Friday evening, February 18, and the other at one of the churches in the north end of the ward on Wednesday evening, February 23, the place to be announced by hand bills and post card. The ward is bubbling over with interest and enthusiasm as this is the first time the colored voters have had an opportunity to show their interest in the success of the party and the welfare of the city.

The caption of the delegation will be THE EIGHTH WARD UNINSTRUCTED REPUBLICAN DELEGATION and the name of Thos. H. Reynolds will appear at the head of the column. The Sun is not able to give the list of delegates in full as the time for filing comes after going to press and the managers of the delegation do not care to give out the list previous to its being filed. It can be said, however, that the names of many men who are representatives in all the different lines of our undertaking will appear in th list of delegates. There will be two delegate tickets upon the ballot, the one representing the Eight Ward Uninstructed Republic Delegation, the other the Bolting Delegation headed by Jewell and Koehler. In order to vote the uninstructed delegation you simply draw a pencil mark through the center of the, Kyle delegation from top to bottom. Chaplain George W.

McEntire.) The See of Panama is the oldest See on the American continent. The first church in the diocese was built in a temporary colony on the Atlantic side of the isthmus—Santa Maria de Antiquara del Darien—early in the sixteenth century. The seat of the Bishopric, however, was soon changed to old Panama and no trace of the earlier settlement was left. The only thing remaining to mark the location of old Panama is the ruins of the tower of the church, sometimes called St. Augustine and sometimes St. Athanasius. The cathedral of the diocese at this time is located in the present (new) City of Panama and was built from the private purse of one of its bishops, and that man a Negro. This bishop was Rt. Rev. Francisco avier de Luna Victoria. One of the historians says that he was "the first bishop of Negro blood in America and probably of native birth to wear the mitre." So far as our investigations have led us, it appears that he was the first bishop of American birth, and we have yet to find a record of another Negro bishop in America. His Father a Charcoal Burner. The father of Bishop Luna Victoria was a freed Negro slave who pursued the avocation of a charcoal burner, making his charcoal near Boca de la Reo Graned and peddling it on his back in the streets of Panama, as one there may see Negroes still doing. This freed slave lived for no other purpose than to rear and educate his son and offer him for the sacred ministry, and he saw his purpose accomplished. Luna Victoria was not only a man of virtue and learning, but a successful man of affairs as well. We read in the records that the Episcopal See of Panama became vacant by the promotion of Bishop Juan de Sastaneda to the See of Cuzco, Peru, and it having been offered to and refused by several members of religious orders, "the mitre fell upon the head of the priest Francisco Javier de Luna Victoria, a Negro, native of the country, who had ascended in the degrees of the ecclesiastical hierarchy by his merits and his virtues. The news of his nomination caused such a disappointment among the members of the Chapter of the Cathedral, that one of them said: "Is Luna Victoria the Bishop of Panama? Then I must go cut wood in the mountains." Surely this worthy man was not moved to speak in this manner because Luna Victoria was a Negro, for there was no antipathy to Negro sten in the church in the South American country, as we shall later point out. Luna Victoria was well received and accepted by the people of Panama in those days when it was known as "a proud and wealthy city." Transferred to Peru. He took possession of the diocese on the 15th of August, 1751. "The new prelate furnished at his own expense the cathedral and enriched it with jewels and precious vestments, placed the bells on the towers, and was transferred to the See of Trujillo, Peru, in 1759." He continued to furnish the money until the building was completed on the 3d of December, 1760, "as may be read on the front of the same." The See of Trujillo was established by Gregory XIII in 1577. The city was founded by Gonzalo Pizarro in 1535. Near the city lie the ruins of the Gran Chimu, known originally as Chan-Chan, being the title of the Indian sovereign who fell before the Incas—"one of the most stupendous monuments extant of departed civilization. From these ruins over $16,000,000 in gold were recovered by the Spaniards." When Bishop Luna Victoria took charge of the diocese, Trujillo was a flourishing city of importance, and the church was the possessor of a cathedral and a number of other institutions, including "a college founded there earlier than 1621." And here we may note that Peru has given to the church saints, the records of whose lives shine as the stars: Stfl Toribio, St. Francis Solano, St. Rose of Lima and Blessed Martin de Porras, a colored man. And thus we discover again, as we have often done before, under a black skin, a pure soul, a kind heart and a brilliant mind, and we may be permitted to express that in our future historical rambles we may meet with this good bishop again and know him better. How Could It Be? Some people in this country, reading this article, still wonder how these "proud and wealthy cities" could and would accept a Negro bishop, but this will be made clear from the following statements drawn from histories of South American countries, written by non-Catholic authors who describe our church as "teaching a religion (sic) made up of the errors of Rome mixed with Negro and Indian superstitions." In South American countries, race antagonisms or aloofness is non-existent. There the conqueror and the conquered, the master and the slave, the white, the black, and the brown man have always worshipped on a footing of equality, and it is no doubt largely to this equalizing policy of the church that the absence of race antagonism is due. There is just as much social in ON HIS SEVENTIETH BIRTHDAY. (Mr. Bower's reply to greetings of friends.) To all my friends both old and new, Who kindly birthday greetings sent; I read your cards—the verses through— And thank you for your good intent. They found my spirits light as air, No ills, and best of rustie health; A merry heart that laughs at care, A treasure greater far than wealth. The flowerets strewn about me here, Much joy their perfumed sweetness sheds; But huge bouquets upon my bier, Will bring no solace when I'm dead. My friends of more than two score years, Who count their days as I count mine, Long may you live, your future cares Be light, your sun more brightly shine. The grandmammas and grandsires gray Who were my pupils on "Church Hill" Nigh fifty years have passed away And yet you seem my pupils still. That old frame Church at Tenth and Gay, As Charlotte street was christened then; Was but the dawn—the opening day Of all our schools that since have been. Deride it not; nor blush of shame, Should any feel who studied there; Be justly proud of your humble aims As those who college colors wear. I count it most that all these years, When best of friends are soon forgot; Throughout our laughter, hopes or fears Your faith in me has faltered not. I ne'er shall live to pay the debt To Him who lengthened out my days; For blessings undeserved and yet I can but sing my Maker's praise. And pray you all by heaven's decree May live your three score years and ten. On that day kindly think of me "As one who loved his fellow men." Faithfully yours DALLAS BOWSER, Hall, Kansas City, Mo.

Superintendent of the Jackson County Home for Aged and Infirm Negroes. Mrs. Jackson is one of the most intellectual and accomplished women of the race and has a business acumen that is simply marvelous. The Sun is proud of the splendid record she is making at this institution. ELEGANT DINNER PARTY. Mr. Oliver Cromwell Walker entertained with a six course dinner party at the Y. M. C. A. on February 10, his 25th birthday. The table was decorated with white, pink and red carnations. His guests were: Mr. Fred Garrett, Miss Lucy Turner, Mr. Geo Roy, Miss Ruth Roy, Mr. Leslie Hammon, Miss Edia Williams, Mr. Leonard Roy, Miss Mayne Goin, Mr. Oliver Walker, Miss Nannie Isaacs. It being leap year each lady was presented with a card bearing the name of the gentleman whom she was to escort to the table. A special dinner service was used for the party. Mr. Walker was assisted by Miss Nannie Isaacs, Mr. Fred Garrett, Miss Isaacs acting as hostess. The following menu was served: Fruit cocktail Cream of tomato bouillon with dinner biscuits Celery Radishes Broiled half spring chicken on toast with jelly French fried potatoes Green peas in cream Hot biscuits Bird nest salad (head lettuce—tomato mayonnaise) Saratoga wafers Vanilla ice cream with hot chocolate sauce Marshmallow cake Roquefort cheese Toasted water biscuit After dinner mints Demitasse.

February 15, 1916. equality in South America as in any other country, but the dividing lines of the various ranks are drawn by wealth or poverty, by education or ignorance, by gentle or common breeding, as they are elsewhere—rarely, if ever, by color; the highest positions in the state and the professional community as well as in the church are occupied by men of other blood than that of those of pure European descent. And what has been the moving cause to these conditions? The answer is easy. The church has always sternly refused to countenance racial or social distinctions within her doors. God made all men in His image and likeness. The soul is black or white just as it is made so by its possessor, and not b y the color of the individual's skin.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS It is not usual to think of the Negro as having contributed much to the "wisdom literature" of the world, but the following proverbial expressions are enough to show that he has not been altogether lacking in this respect: Not to aid one in distress is to kill him in your heart. Birth does not differ from birth; as the free man was born so was the slave. Much gesticulation does not prove courage. Do not repair another man's fence until you have seen to your own. You cannot kill game by looking at it. Familiarity induces contempt, but distance secures respect. Faults are like a hill, you stand on your own and you talk about those of other people. To love the king is not bad, but a king who loves you is better. The day on which one starts is not the time to commence one's preparation. He who forgives ends the quarrel. The sieve never sifts meal by itself. The dawn does not come twice to wake a man. "I have forgotten thy name" is better than "I know thee not." The fugitive never stops to pick the thorn from his foot. The elephant does not find his trunk heavy. But the outstanding feature of a new magazine is just the fact of its appearance. Launched at Chicago by a new organization, the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, it does not intend "to drift into the discussion of the Negro problem," but rather to "popularize the movement of unearthing the Negro and his contributions to civilization . . . believing that facts properly set forth will speak for themselves." This is a new and stirring note in the advance of the black man. Comparatively few of any race have a broad or accurate knowledge of its past. It would be absurd to expect that the Negro will carry in his head many details of a history from which he is separated by a tremendous break. It is not absurd to expect that he will gradually learn that he, too, has a heritage of something beside shame and wrong. By that knowledge he may be uplifted as he goes about his task of building from the bottom—New York Evening Post. --- Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences of Harvard university, has contributed an article to the December number of Education, discussing the Industrial and the higher education of Negroes, and taking the stand that the two are not antagonistic or inconsistent. He says: "The Negro's presence in this country in the first place, was due to the belief that he was intended by the Creator to be an instrument of crude service. His traditional function was mainly mechanical, and scarcely more human than that of the ox which pulls the plow. His personality was at first denied, and afterwards ignored. Men spoke of the Negro as a 'good hand' just as they spoke of a good ax or a good ox. The imputed virtue had exclusive reference to his utility as a tool. The traditional bias concerning the Negro's ordained place in the social scheme influences pres The work that is being done toward the industrial education of the Negroes in a dozen schools scattered throughout the South by the American Church Institute for Negroes was described at Washington by Rev. Robert W. Patton before 400 women interested in social betterment work. Dr. David H. Greer, Episcopal Bishop of New York and president of the institute, presided at the meeting, which was held in the assembly hall of the Colony club and introduced the speaker. Rev. Mr. Patton said: "It cost the nation $10,000 per capita and a million lives besides to emancipate the slaves. But emancipation is not freedom. And after the bitterness of the reconstruction period in the South, which should be called the redemption period, a group of men in the North and South decided that this was so. The Church institute is freeing the slaves at $100 each by giving the Negro the freedom of mind, body and soul." England's gold is placed at $800,000.00. Tommaso Salvini, the world-famous Italian actor, died the other day, forbade his sons acting in Italy during the years of his own activity on the stage, although three of them, Gustavo, Alexander and Tommaso, were the thespians. The father's namesake is said to be the most talented of the trio. A screwless corkscrew has been invented, a pointed shaft carrying a piece of metal on a plov so that it falls at right angles beneath a cork that it has been thrust through. By careful experiments it has been proved that a solid column subject to bending strains is no stronger than a hollow one. Consequently all iron shafts which drive the screws of steamships have a hole bored down the center so that weight may be reduced. Not Really Ancient. The claim is made that a Maya inscription in Yucatan fixes the date of a building in that region at 200 years ent opinion concerning the kind of education which should be imparted to him. As a consequence of this attitude, that type of education which fits him for his accustomed sphere and place has found ready appreciation and favor; he is to be educated for his work, rather than for himself. As a matter of fact, the great bulk of this race must devote its chief energies to the cruder and coarser grades of service which fall to its lot as far in the future as our present vision can penetrate. The industrial education of the masses, therefore, becomes a matter of the highest concern to the practical statesmen and philanthropist. D. Booker T. Washington, in his moments of greatest enthusiasm, never overstated the importance of industrial training as an essential agency of the general social uplift. But at the same time, it should never be forgotten that the Negro is a human being as well as a utensil of service. A wise educational economy will seek to make him a man working, rather than a working man. Fortunately, however, the saner sense of the people is now reasserting itself. The two types of education are no longer contrasted as antagonistic and inconsistent, but compared as common factors of a joint product. Their relative claims should never have been made a matter of essential controversy, but merely a question of ratio and proportion. Negro colleges, following the lead of white prototypes, are adjusting their curricula to the demands of the age." In Chicago a movement is afoot to erect a memorial to the late Booker Washington and a large sum of money has already been collected for this scheme, which is to be entirely local, and to express for all time the sympathy and admiration of Chicago people for the great Negro educator. It will not be a statute or a symbolic temple of ornate architecture, but it will take the practical form of an industrial training school for Negro Children of the city. The Chicago Herald infers that if Booker Washington had been asked what sort of a monument he would desire to perpetuate his memory he would have an answered: "A school for my people." Chicago's example is good and well worth following. A number of such memorial schools in various parts of the country, for the industrial education of the colored race, would serve to keep his memory green and go far toward the solution of the racial problem. To make his people self-supporting and self-reliant was the object of his life. No better monument to him could be thought of than a school to continue his mission. Paul Laurence Dunbar wrote a memorable sonnet to Booker T. Washington. It was read recently at the memorial exercises held at Tuskegee. In part it is: A poor Virginia cabin gave the seed, And from its dark and lowly door there came a peace of princes in the world's acclaim. A master spirit for the nation's need. Strong, silent, purposeful beyond his kind, Kind the rugged force on brow and lip, Straight on he goes, nor turns to look sbowl. Where hot the hounds come baying at his hip. With the idea foremost in his mind. Like the idea prow of some on-forging ship. The Negro population of the United States increased from 757,208, or 19.3 per cent of the total population, in 1790, to 9,827,763, or 10.7 per cent of the total in 1910. The increase between 1900 and 1910 was at the rate of 11.2 per cent, while during the same period the white population increased 22.3 per cent. Since 1810 there has been a continuous decrease in the proportion which Negroes have formed of the total population, due, at least in part, to the fact that the white population has been continually augmented by immigration, while there has been very little immigration of Negroes during the last hundred years. --- "Indians dying everywhere; maybe no more big talk," was what Chief Black Horse of the South Dakota Sioux said recently when arranging a big council of aborigines from that region at Deadwood. The subject of this, possibly the last of the powwows, will be the right of the Sioux to the Black hills, on which they insist in the face of numerous adverse court decisions. Workmen on the Rouge river (Ore.) canal set off a blast and thereby uncovered a buried treasure. The coins were of the mintage of the fifties, and there were some Spanish coins among them. How the money came to be buried or when or why is unknown. According to some accounts, there was about $500 and to others about $2,500. According to an English scientist's estimate the world's total annual rainfall amounts to 29,347.4 cubic miles, of which less than one-fourth drains through rivers into the ocean. B. C. How accurate this claim is, only experts can tell, and probably they will wrangle about it for half a generation before deciding. If established, it will be the oldest date in the history of the western continent—but how modern compared to the records of the lands by the Euphrates and the Nile! Opportunities are very sensitive things; if you slight them on their first visit, you seldom see them again.—Ruskin. MANY PREPARATIONS THAT MAY BE UTILIZED. Macaroni Served With Kidney Beans Will Be Found Entirely Acceptable—Vegetable Roast Also Well Worth a Trial. Are you locking for a dish that can be substituted for the expensive meat, and will yet be good eating and strengthening? Try Macaroni With Kidney Beans.—One cupful macaroni, one pint kidney beans, one-half pint tomato sauce, one teaspoon salt, one quart water, two tablespoonfuls flour, two tablespoonfuls butter, three-quarters cupful hot milk, one-quarter cupful tomato (strained). Break the macaroni in small pieces and cook in boiling salted water until soft. Drain, pour a cupful of cold water through it. In preparing the tomato sauce, heat the milk to the scalding point and stir into it the creamed butter and flour. Cook five minutes, add the heated strained tomatoes, drained macaroni and the cooked beans, with more salt if needed. Heat thoroughly, pour into a vegetable dish and serve. Sufficient for four or five persons. **Vegetable Roast.**—One quart beans or peas, one quart nut meats, four slices zwieback, one cupful sweet cream. Put the well-cooked beans or peas through a colander to remove the skins, then mix with the finely-chapped nut meats. Season to taste. Put one-half the mixture in a buttered baking dish, spread over it a dressing made as follows: Pour boiling water on four slices of zwieback, cover, let stand for a few minutes, then break them up with a fork and pour over one-half cupful of sweet cream. Season with salt and sage. Cover the dressing with the remainder of the nut mixture, pour over all the remaining half cupful of cream and bake for one and one-half hours. Serve in slices with cranberry sauce. **Potato Salad With Sardines.**—One pint potatoes, one onion, half green pepper (sweet), three sprigs parsley, three olives or pickles, three teaspoonful olive oil, one and a half tablespoonful vinegar, one can sardines, one tablespoonful beets or olives, salt and red pepper to taste. Boil potatoes in their jackets, then peel, and when cold cut into cubes. Mix together the potatoes, onion, green pepper, parsley, olives, salt and a dash of red pepper. Add the oil and vinegar. Mix lightly and put in a salad bowl. When ready to serve, open the sardines, drain and wipe free from oil and arrange on top of the salad in a circle. Put the chopped beets or olives in the center and serve. Brown or whole wheat bread goes well with this. This will serve three people. A salad of this description, with its fish and its olive oil, meets the requirements of an all around hearty and nourishing dish. Have you tried not polishing your cooking stove, but keeping it well washed? It saves your own aprons, tea towels, etc., and the children's clothes, if they come around the stove in the kitchen—Emma Paddock Telford. Grapefruit Salad. The grapefruit is a cheap and delicious fruit. It makes an excellent hors d'oeuvre when cut in half, the hard center and seeds removed, and a little maraschino or rum poured over it. It is equally successful as a salad. Select a large heavy fruit and separate the flesh from the bitter skin in good good-sized pieces. Line the salad bowl with tender lettuce leaves, chicory or romaine, add the grapefruit, and sprinkle over it a tablespoonful of finely chopped fines herbs, then pour over this a good French dressing, and garnish with white, hard-boiled egg rings with an olive curled in the center of each. Supper Dish. A novel and tasty way of serving frankfurters and tomatoes for either a supper or luncheon dish is as follows: Put about a tablespoonful of butter in a frying pan, and when melted slice in a large onion and fry brown. Add one can of tomatoes, one half teaspoonful of salt, a small amount of red pepper and one whole clove. Take one pound of frankfurters and remove the skin and slice lengthwise into halves, and remove and cook ten minutes. Serve with baked potatoes. Oatmeal Bread. Pour over one cupful of rolled oats two cupfuls boiling water and let stand for one hour. Then add one third cupful of molasses, one-half tablespoonful salt, one tablespoonful butter, one-half yeast cake dissolved in one-half cupful of luk-warm water. Then add four and a half cupfuls of bread flour. Let raise in the morning, cut down and beat thoroughly when light enough, and put into buttered bread pans and let raise again, then bake. This makes two loaves. Cream Mince Chop, not too fine, four large cold potatoes, about three-quarters that quantity of cold beets, and one-third onion. Mix all together and dust with flour, salt and pepper. Pick up one cupful of salt fish. Put water over the fish to soften. Make a cream with two tablespoonfuls of butter and one of flour and one-half cupful of hot water and same of milk. Drain water off the fish and add the cream with the vegetables. Heat and serve. Fairy Ginger Cake. One cupful of molasses, one-half cupful of sugar, one heaping tablespoonful lard, one egg, one cupful sour milk with one teaspoonful soda stirred in until it begins to foam over top of cup, one teaspoonful ginger. About a pint of sifted flour, making a rather thin light dough. It will be light like a sponge if not mixed too stiff. Can omit ginger and use spices and raisins if desired. In the Vanguard of Spring Styles Dignified and Simple Coiffure If the pretty suit for spring, which is pictured above, had nothing else to recommend it but the charm of simplicity, it would still possess the best of all attributes of the street dress. But it has also the distinction which belongs to novelty in design and is compellingly good to look at. This is one of a number of new models in which taffeta is combined with a cloth in making up suits. In this particular case it is made up with serge. The skirt is wide and plain, with most of the fullness disposed at the sides. The facing, of serge, is very wide and is set on to the taffeta with a double row of machine stitching. Skirts made in the same way, of cloth, are faced up with leather in the same color as the cloth, set on with a small piping of leather, and were among the earliest imports of the season. The smart coat of taffeta is designed with a yoke of serge and finished at the bottom with a wide banding of it. This is rather an exception to the Dignified and S Everybody that is young enough, and some persons who are npt, appear to have adopted one of those many styles in hairdressing patterned after the "Bobby" coiffure. The "Castle bob" made popular by the famous dancer, requires a bare forehead with the hair drawn back and a bob at each side. The Bobby coiffure is youthful looking but sometimes unbecoming. Only the possessor of a beautiful brow looks well with it entirely uncovered To get over this difficulty the wearing of a narrow band of velvet or other ribbon bound about the forehead has come into vogue. Although not much may be said in favor of this particular style of hairdress so far as becomingness is concerned, we may thank it for compelling a beautiful finish and neatness in other styles. The hair may be waved or curled, or it may be dressed without either, but whatever else it is, fashion requires that the coiffure shall be beautifully done, and finished looking. For the more dignified styles in hairdressing, the French twist, rolled softly and close to the head, as shown in the picture given here, is used DECORATION FOR THE HAIR Attractive Bandeau That May Be Easily Fashioned by Any Woman With Eye to Distinction. Maldens are loath to part with the bandeau to confine the hair. They realize that it adds an indefinable something which makes them appear to better advantage. Some fair maldens choose the simple bandeau of a strip of gold or silver braid. The band is worn low on the forehead and is rule of bandings on street suits, but is admirable because it corresponds with the skirt facing, as it should. The plain, wide belt is of the serge also and the sleeves are finished with cuffs of it. The sailor collar is made of the tafeta and stands rather high at the back. It is protected by a white organdie collar with scalloped edges, and this is decorated with black hem-stitching, another of the new-style features for spring. In the coat, as in the skirt, most of the fullness is gathered in at the sides at the waist line, where it is apparently confined by the belt. It would not be easy to find a more dependable style in a spring suit than this. It is one of many which two materials are combined, but it is not always done with such nice balance. The silk and cloth are of the same shade and usually in dark colors. Less practical but very elegant suits are made in light gray and in tan color. Simple Coiffure with many variations in little details of finishing. The hair is trimmed in a light, curving tang, and a short strand is turned forward in a flat ringlet on the cheek, in one style. In another the hair is waved and parted at one side. It is brought down on the forehead, as in the coiffure pictured here, but is coiled in a moderately high collat at the top of the head. This is particularly effective with the tall turbans which are to be worn. She is a wise woman who remains faithful to a style of hairdress that she finds more becoming than any other. The charm that belongs to a well-groomed appearance is within every woman's reach and it is unfailing. In the matter of the coiffure, at least, she can afford to be independent of fashion and to cultivate individuality. To make a child maintain an erect position while writing at a school desk a German has invented a rod to be attached to a deck, terminating in a cup against the child's chin. Joined with a jeweled clasp or ornament. Sometimes a single strand of brilliants, pearls or gold beads are used for the purpose. Any ambitious girl can make such a strand for herself. All she need do is take three narrow ribbons of the length required to form the fillet and on these string the beads. Attach the three strands to a flat disk an inch in diameter, formed of buckram covered solidly with beads. Finish the other side in a similar manner. --- Universally Popular Vegetable Will Well Repay All the Care That Can Be Given to it. There are many varieties of potatoes. Tastes differ as to the most desirable kind. In this country the white potato, when light and dry, is preferred. It is especially suited for boiling, steaming and baking, also for soups and purées. The yellow potatoes are more suitable for salads, ragouts, hash and frying, because they keep their shape when cooked. The sweet potato makes a pleasant and healthful addition to the table. It is rich in starch and sugar and somewhat laxative. The white and yellow varieties contain a large percentage of water, a fair percentage of starch, a very small percentage of sugar and about one per cent mineral matter. It is to this mineral matter that the potato owes its antiscorbic properties. Potatoes cooked in dry heat, as by baking in the oven, roasting in ashes, frying in deep fat, or steaming without peeling are more pronounced and savory than when cooked in water. But the vegetables so cooked must be served just as soon as they are done, or else they will become soggy. On the contrary, boiled potatoes may be kept warm for an hour or more after cooking without ill results. Potatoes should cook in half an hour if ordinary size. Large potatoes should be given five minutes more, and small ones two minutes less. These rules apply to peeled, partly peeled or unpeeled. The potatoes should be covered with boiling water and brought quickly to a boil. After fifteen minutes add one tablespoonful of salt to every twelve potatoes. At the end of thirty minutes drain off. To make them very white and mealy, after draining off the water, put the cover on, hold it down firmly and give the pot a shake. Next open the window and hold the uncovered pot outside for a few seconds, to let the steam escape. Place the vessel where it will keep warm for a few minutes, covering with a folded cloth, not the lid. When boiling potatoes in their skins a narrow band of the skin should be removed from the center of the vegetable and small bits from either end. Steamed potatoes will require forty minutes to cook, the water boiling hard all the time. Baked potatoes (in their skins) must be pricked before putting into the oven to allow the gases to escape. The oven should be very hot, as a number of cold potatoes will lower the temperature. One hour should be allowed. Small sweet potatoes will bake in half an hour, large ones an hour or more. Those who like them moist and sweet may make them two hours. Economical War Cake Economical War Cake. A fruit cake without eggs was much used in England during the holidays and further popularized by being called a "war cake." It is really very good and undoubtedly economical. It requires one-half pound of flour, two ounces of sultana raisins, one ounce of currants, one ounce of butter, one-half pound of brown sugar, one teaspoonful of carbonate of soda, one tablespoonful molasses, one-fourth teaspoonful cinnamon or mixed spices, one-fourth teaspoonful of ground ginger, one teaspoonful vinegar. Mix the ingredients after creaming the sugar and butter, in a half-cup of milk. Put the vinegar in last and very carefully a drop at a time lest it curdle the mixture. Bake in a moderate oven for an hour and do not cut for a week. Beef Essence. Remove the fat from a slice of steak from the top of the round, cut three-quarters inch thick, broil over a clear fire three or four minutes, turning often; heat the broiler to prevent the steak from adhering, as any suggestion of grease must be avoided; remove to a warm plate, cut into 1½-inch squares, gash on both sides, and with a lemon squeezer extract the juices; season with salt. This is nutritious and extremely palatable. Often desirable, given in small quantities, where a condensed form of food is desired. Cottage Savory of Ham. Place in a chopping bowl three ounces of cooked, lean ham and chop for ten minutes until it is a smooth pulp. Then add half a tablespoonful of good butter, two tablespoonfuls of Worcestershire sauce, half a saltspoonful of cayenne pepper and half a tea spoonful of mustard. Chop the whole well together for five minutes more and place this paste on a plate. Prepare six small round pieces of toast Divide the ham preparation evenly on the toast and serve immediately. To Mend Buttons When the little cloth center or inner side of buttons has either pulled out, or worn, make a net work by criss-crossing your threads, in inner part where cloth was, to make that part solid; from here then catch threads out to edge of button, completely hiding tin part, and sort of forming a spider's web. Thus one can use buttons that might otherwise be thrown away. When Making Cake. Never beat eggs for a cake. Drop the unbeaten whites in the last thing, and stir just enough to mix well with the butter. This is against all customary rules for cake making, but after one trial you doubt no more. Soft, moist, light fluffy cakes are the happy result. Flaxseed Lemonade. Carefully pick over and wash two tablespoonful of whole flaxseed, add three cupfuls boiling water, let cook for two hours, keeping below the boiling point, strain, add sugar and lemon juice to taste. Of great value in throat and lung troubles. When Roasting a Turkey. The turkey need not be sewed after the dressing has been put in. Insert toothpicks on either side and string back and forth over the picks. This is easily removed after the bird is cooked. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (BY E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course, Moody Bible Illustrations) LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 2 CHRISTIAN BROTHERHOOD. LESSON TEXT—Acts 4:22-5:16. GOLDEN TEXT—Love one another from the heart fervently.—1 Pet. 1:22 R. V. The Sanhedrin had tried threatening upon the disciples and this is generally pretty weak business. But their threat meant danger and the disciples were not unduly puffed up over their deliverance. With all their believing friends they prayed and in response the Holy Spirit came upon them in still further measure (4:23-31). 1. The Spirit-Filled Believers, 4:32-37. The two sections of this lesson are really one and are designed to bring out sharply the contrast between the Holy Spirit-filled church and an evil spirit-filled man. The communism of the early church was (a) Christian communion (see 2:44); and it was (b) for a special occasion; (c) it was benevolent—each had according to his "needs" (4:34, 35); (d) it was voluntary (5:4), and (e) it recognized the right to private property (see 5:4, 9). He, the Holy Spirit, does bring that unity, that altruism, those active social relations and services of which Pentecostal communism is the type. Unity and love are seen in genuine Christianity in all ages, but the forms of their expression may differ. The power of the Holy Spirit was manifested, not merely in love and unity which it produced, in the brotherhood thus evidenced, but also in the testimony given for the Lord Jesus Christ, "with great power gave the apostles witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus." There is much witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ in our day, but not always "with great power." When we are filled with the Holy Spirit it is of Jesus, and especially of his resurrection, that we will bear witness. Another result of being filled with the Holy Spirit was that grace was upon all. "Grace" means favor. We are not told whether it was God's favor or man's favor that was upon them. It seems to imply both (see Luke 2:52). No man looked upon his own interests, but "every man on the things of others." Distribution was made according as each had need, not according to his ability, not according to his notable service. The pre-eminent illustration of Christian love in the brotherhood at Jerusalem was Barnabas. If we had more of such today we would have less of union labor troubles and missionary deficits. We do well to consider carefully the six distinguishing features of this early church: (1) A praying church (2:42-30), (2) a Spirit-filled church (31), (3) a united church (32), (4) a witnessing church (33), (5) a ministering church (34, 35), (6) a multiplying church (36, 37). II. The Devil-Possessed Unbeliever, 5. 1-16. Barnabas had received great praise for what he had done at the impulse of the Holy Spirit in his life. It is an exceedingly fair picture, but the scene of the early church had been from foes without, now it faces the greater peril of foes within. And when this great question, regarding the deity and personality of the Holy Spirit, is first brought to light, God, through his church, dealt with it in a stern manner. The devil is always presenting his imitations of everything good and holy. Ananias and Sapphira were not willing to make a like sacrifice. They, too, "sold a possession," but they secreted a part of the price and brought the rest with the intent to deceive the church. The Holy Spirit quickly informed the church of this hypocrisy and, Spirit-guided, they were not deceived. For Ananias to lie in the atmosphere of love and consecration engendered by the Holy Spirit made his crime the more unparadonable. The same words are used in describing his actions as those used in describing the actions of Barnabas up to a certain point. But what a difference we see subsequently. In the case of Barnabas his act was a deed of self-forgetting love; in the case of Ananias it was one of calculating hypocrisy. We thus see that the early church was not as perfect as some would have us imagine it to be. To pretend to a full consecration which he did not possess is thus revealed, and for us to pretend to a consecration we do not possess is to lie to the Holy Ghost. In the case of Ananias and Sapphira it brought swift and awful judgment. Peter's question seems to imply that the plan had originated with Satan, but Ananias was none the less responsible, for he had given place to Satan and permitted him to "fill his heart." The fact is his sin originated with Satan, but that did not lessen—but rather aggravated—his guilt, for he had entered into partnership with the devil, and this is what every liar is doing (John 9:44, I John 2:22). The heart that is open to the Holy Spirit he will fill; the heart that is open to Satan he will fill. The one who pretends to an entire consecration, which does not exist, is "tempting the spirit of the Lord" (v. 9), and it is a dangerous thing to do. It may not bring physical death, for God gives us other examples of his dealings towards sin, but there will be the ultimate judgment that comes upon all lilars and deceivers. The second section of this paragraph (vv. 12-16) is a record of what the results of this vindication of the Holy Spirit were. First the Spirit came upon the apostles and literally overflowed upon all those about them. In the second place those who were thinking of joining the church for mercenary motives were held back from so doing (v. 13). If the Holy Spirit were present in such power today there would be fewer hypocrites who would dare to join themselves to it. Madam P. M.

Kansas City Selected National Negro Business League to Hold Seventeenth Annual Session August 16, 1916. After a most careful consideration of the several invitations received from different sections of the country for the next meeting of the National Negro Business League, we are authorized by the members of the executive committee to announce that the league has decided to accept the invitation extended by the local Negro Business League of Greater Kansas City. The meeting will be held August 16, 17 and 18, 1916. It appears that the Business League has selected a most opportune time to hold their meeting in Kansas City, for as Mr. Fortune J. Weaver, president of the Kansas City League says: "These dates fit in just right, as the Masons will hold their Grand Lodge in Kansas City during the second week of August and the National Medical Association comes during the fourth week." These two meetings in addition to the Business League session, will offer best possible inducements to the railroads to make special reduced fares and will afford delegates to the Grand Lodge and the Medical Association an opportunity to attend some of the sessions of the Business League. The executive committee has also decided that it will be most appropriate and fitting that the first night's (August 16) session be devoted to memorial exercises in honor of Dr. Booker T. Washington, founder and first president of the National Negro Business League. Further announcement regarding the forthcoming meeting of the National Negro Business League will be made from time to time through the press. For further information write to J. C. Napier, chairman executive committee, Nashville, Teen; Emmett J.

If the T. R. boom for the Republican nomination really gets under headway it is pathetic to realize that the Kansas City Journal cannot head it off or beat him at the polls in November. If those who are attempting to eliminate the Negro from eighth ward politics are really taking themselves seriously the Colored voters should unite to disappoint them even more seriously. Rather than trust the fate of the proposed segregation ordinance to the ignorant white voters, the Negroes of St. Louis have taken their case to the learned and more impartial judges of the supreme court. Lying for some people is no more or less than a disease and a sense of pity rather than vindictive spirit should be felt for the person whose word cannot be relied upon even in trivial affairs. RACE NOTES It is claimed that a secret treaty is being negotiated, the terms of which will make Haiti practically a territory of the United States. Robert R. Church of Memphis is heading a statewide movement among colored voters against lilywhite tactics in Tennessee politics. Negroes of New York are to erect a Y. M. C. A. building to cost two hundred thousand dollars. A site has been chosen and work will begin May 1. William E. Booker, a colored boy of Norfolk, is the champion deep water diver of the world. He worked at the Gen. Slocum steamboat disaster and brought up 366 bodies. Fred Chambers and two sons, all farmers near Memphis, Tenn., have been arrested for holding Negro tenants in a state of peonage and for shamelessly violating young Negro girls.

NOTES Next week we will publish the results obtained at the various churches where "Boy's Sunday" was observed. The big annual checker tournament is now in full swing, E. D. Jackson leading, M. W. Wilson a close second. Big results followed the "Campaign of Friendship" waged in the five high schools of Kansas City last week by four International Secretaries. Sunday, February 20, will be "Railroad" Men's Sunday. Judge Mayo, one of the founders of Gary, Ind., and formerly a judge of the criminal court of Chicago, will make the principal remarks. Remarks will be made by Supt J. D. Elliott and Asst. Supt W. Venn of the Pullman company. Persons who enjoy an exciting and skillful game should avail themselves of the opportunity to witness the Tuesday and Thursday evening basketball games played by the men's teams of the Major Basketball League. All gymnasium classes are filling up. New classes will be soon necessary to accommodate the increased attendance. The militant association address by Prof. Frank L. Williams of the Summer High School of St. Louis, wherein he told of their titanic building campaign, renewed the building campaign spirit of 1913 at last Sunday's meeting. Attorney Vaughn, also of St. Louis, in eloquent remarks further stirred the men to the ability of the men of the Negro race to accomplish great deeds in united efforts. The Associated Colored Chauffeurs League, which meets weekly at the Y. M. C. A., has issued a set of 13 "Don't's" to the chauffeurs of the city. Among these are the following: "Don't steal cars out of the garage, it betrays your trust." "Don't have a crowd around your car, it doesn't look good to the people when they come to get in." "Don't stand your car in front of a saloon, it looks as though you are on the inside." Betty & Sam's Little Corner A —That woman, not money is the root of all evil. How's that boys? —That Po'k chops em sho' hard to get dese days. True brother, true. —That a woman can change her mind oftener than a dude his clothes. —That certain Negroes ought to stop stealing the Sun from their neighbors. —That if you kiss longer than thirty seconds you violate the law. Away with the law, so say we all. —That putting your picture in the Sun is the same as putting it in the Hall of Fame. "Home Gawge." —That now it's getting a little warmer there are a whole lot of "dinies" who won't work for love or money. —That there are more lying, beer guzzling, cat chasing political grafting alleged Negro preachers in Kansas City whose word ain't worth a darm, than any city of like size in America. It's a shame the upright, honorable ministers are embarrassed and handicapped by these scullions. —That just as a certain lady who makes big pretensions of her wealth was preparing to serve a party of friends at her home, the furniture people drove up and loaded the stove, dining room suite and dishes on their wagon and drove off. Wasn't that awful? —That a Negro cook named Shorten was recently arrested in Portland after a chase and charged with stealing meat, and when his wife of the old fashioned type began in court to upbraid him for his actions, he replied, "Doan" fuss at me, honey, like Jack Johnson, I was only trying to "bring home" de bacon. Six months said the judge. DR. STRAWN A BENEDICT. Promising Young Physician Surprises Friends by Marrying Sunday. A surprise to his many friends in Columbia was furnished by Dr. Estel Y. Strawn of St. Joseph when it became known that he had been joined in holy wedlock to Miss Ruth Endicott, also of St. Joseph. The ceremony was performed at the strawn home on North Third street in the presence of only members of the family and Mrs. G. M. Tillman, wife of Rev. G. M. Tillman, who performed the ceremony, and Mrs. J. A. Endicott, mother of the bride. The plans to keep the affair from the public until it was over, were well laid and carried out completely. Mrs. Endicott and her daughter, the bride-to-be, arrived in Columbia from Marshall, where the daughter had been teaching, Saturday evening, supposed- by for a visit with the Strawn family, and Dr. Strawn, in company with Mr. W. A. Coffey of St. Joseph, arrived Sunday morning at 7 o'clock, secured his license and the ceremony was performed at 8 a. m.. They attended services at the A. M. E. church and after enjoying an elaborate dinner with the groom's parents, they departed for St Joseph Sunday evening at 4:30, where they will go to housekeeping in a home recently purchased by Dr. Strawn—Columbia World. Injustice to the Negro Press. An Open Letter to Negro Merchants —Business League Talk No. 4. As one reads the Negro newspapers from week to week they can not but feel that as a class the Negro editors are just about as unselfish as any set of people in the country. They are, in fact, the ultra exponents of unselfishness. No less than a dozen of these papers take their turn each week and speak editorially to the race, urging them to patronize the members of the race who are in business. That appears to be one topic on which all the publishers agree, and in agitating for more liberal and sustained patronage for Negro business enterprises they are prompted by no loftier motive than their pride of race and their absorbing desire for the race's upclimb into the more important avenues of commerce and industry. For this they are to be commended and should be encouraged. By continually urging the race to support its business men, these papers are extending the trade of the Negro business men. But what are the Negro merchants as a group giving back to the Negro papers in return, and what are they doing to cooperate with all this agitation? It must be granted that quite a few individual merchants give their printing of stationery to colored printers, and not a few insert small advertisements in Negro newspapers which in many instances is "traded out," but there is entire absence of group appreciation on the part of Negro merchants for the great work now being done for them by the Negro editors. Here are some questions which suggest themselves as we read the Negro papers and see how earnestly they are pulling for the Negro business men: Why do the colored merchants not speak up for themselves? Why do they continue to let the Negro newspapers pay their advertising bills? Why are they content with the business which "drifts in?" Why do they not combine and go after the race's business in a big way? The business is certainly there for the asking. The race is spending now about $600,000,000 a year for food and only about a fourth of this is going to colored merchants; the race is spending $50,000,000 a year for shoes, and only about one-twentieth of this is going to Negro dealers. There is but one way to get this business, and that is to go after it in a definite and determined way. The burden of educating and cultivating this trade rests with the business men themselves, and should not be left to the colored papers. They have their hands quite full in getting our young folks educated and in protecting our rights. To accomplish something that would really justify the effort, the merchants must of course realize the situation as it is and then determine to work out a plan which will accomplish the desired results. First, have a common understanding on the question of service. White merchants are their chief competitors, and no step towards securing bigger Negro trade can be made without studying the methods of competitors in order to meet them with methods equally as effective. Service has been one of the important contributing factors to the success of white business enterprises and service is 50 per cent of any selling plan. SOUTHERN ATTITUDE TOWARD THE NEGRO. If the Northern states had all been sunk in the sea before our Civil war, the Southern states would have freed the Negro sooner or later. A prerequisite to the settlement of the race problem is that we shall treat it precisely as if the Negro had been freed by Southern legislation. I believe that we are at bottom more interested in these weaker people than we are willing to admit, and that the time is coming when our best people will speak out. I hope to see the day when our teachers will prepare our children for the right attitude toward the Negro by telling them all about his African home, the conditions which have delayed his development there, the opportunity which his presence in our midst gives us to raise him, the obligation of every person of the higher race to bear with him and to help him. I believe that such talks will have real effect on the lives of these children and help them to deal with their own problems of right and wrong, of God and the soul. Let their maxim be "Noblesse oblige." Is not this the way to fit our children for the maintenance of white ascendancy? We sincerely wish to improve the Negro—for his good and for our own—but we do not stop to consider that self-respect is as essential to his improvement as it is to ours. It is God's way of pointing the upward path. The matter must be explained to our people in order that the white man with whom the Negro may be brought in contact shall understand that it is not manly to humiliate him.—Bolton Smith of Nashville in the Southern Workman. A CAUSE OF THE WAR. We hear a good deal about the race problems in Europe, and we prick up our ears, for we, too, have a race problem as to which our conscience is not entirely tranquil. We feel that perhaps race antagonism between the Gaul, the Teuton and the Slav, has made this war inevitable, that perhaps race antagonisms do present problems impossible of solution, and we are troubled; for we have the Negro in our midst! the Japanese across the Pacific, and beyond we see the 400,000,000 Chinese whom the Japanese may some day drill and send against the world. We forget that we have already reconciled greater antagonisms of race than those which brought o nthils war. The statesmen of Europe had been willing to learn of so young a nation they could have avoided this war: Germany, by granting genuine local self-government, could have made Al-That would have ended the revanche in France and her unnatural alliance with Russia. Austria, by granting similar liberties to Bosnia-Herzegovina, could have greatly lessened Servian antagonism; might even have secured Servian friendship. The Germans of Switzerland outnumber the Italians and French, the head of the Swiss army is a Teuton, and to make matters worse, his wife is a niece of Bismarck. But the French-Swiss do not want to join France; nor do the Italian-Swiss go over to Italy. They have justice, sympathy, freedom where they are. These are the talismans which the central empires have declined to try. But had they been truly Christian they would have tried them and there would have been no war.—Address at George Peabody College, published in the Southern Workman. SOMETHING ABOUT COURTSHIP Boys of the present are slower about marrying than were those of the past, because sparking conditions are better now. When a boy can sit out a summer with his girl in a porch swing, and then sit out a winter in a comfortable room, he is likely to worry mother by delaying the wedding. In the old days when the family outgrew the house, the young lover did not fare so well. During hot weather a portion of the rising generation slept on the front porch, making this a poor place for carrying on a love affair. And when winter came it was necessary to spread down a pallet in the parlor for a number of the children. Of course if the affair was progressing nicely, mother would persuade the little chaps to remain up late so as to give beau a chance to look at daughter as long as he wished. But often the youngsters, not realizing the importance of getting sister married off, would set up a howl to go to bed. Under those conditions it was necessary for a boy to go ahead and marry, or get out of the way and give some one else a chance. We really need more of those old-fashioned homes. When you go to a house where you must use care in walking about the rooms after dark for fear of stepping on a lot of the sons and daughters, you have found a home that is worth more to the country than a dozen of the kind where they raise nothing but poodles. The ideal family is one where three or four of the older boys sleep at one end of the porch, father at the other end, mother and the two younger children in the sitting room bed, the two grown daughters in the parlor bed and the balance of the youngsters scattered about the floor. The day will come when Japan or any other power can thrash us if we quit raising men. No nation is secure where the families are so small that none of them has to sleep on pallets. We can't drive invaders from our shore by sickling the dogs on them.—Claud Callan, in Fort Worth Star Telegram. THE DENVER LAW The following ordinance was passed in Denver some weeks ago before the vicious and iniquitous "Birth of a Nation" got a chance to show there. The credit for its passage is due Hon. W B. Townsend, the well known attor- AN ORDINANCE An Ordinance to prohibit certain kinds of shows and theatrical plays in the city and county of Denver, and to repeal all acts and parts of acts in conflict therewith, and to fix the punishment for violation of the same.

To live above worry is no little task, especially for persons of a nervous temperament. Nevertheless, it is possible and can be attained through the ever conquering power of the will. Then, too, worry is one of beauty's greatest destroyers; it lines the face with furrows that are difficult to remove and far from pleasing to look upon. S & CO., 2409 Vine Street.

KANSAS CITY, U.S.A. I-H The Town Inventor By HAROLD CARTER If Eph Knight had come back a rich man it is probable that Lausanne would have seen its first lynching. But Eph came back a tired, wormout man of forty-three, stone-poor; and before Lausanne knew that he was in town again he had taken a mechanic's job in the auto factory which is all that keeps Lausanne's population up to the five thousand mark. His disappearance had not been so sensational as his return. He was living at the hotel and flinging money around. Everybody knew Eph; he had been born on a farm and had flown kites and made flying machines in the days when Langley was a national jest. He had been on the verge of success, however, at last. A company—the Knight company—had been formed to exploit the new flying machine which the Wrights were soon to consign to the scrap heap. All Lausanne had gone crazy over his dream. The Widow Gill, whose daughter, Polly, Eph had been courting, invested twelve hundred dollars in the concern. Then the Wrights took out their patent and Eph's company turned turtle. "Keep the stock; it will be valuable some day," Knight had told Mrs. Gill. And it still reposed, forgotten, among a number of papers—her insurance endowment, the title to the farm, etc., in the safety-deposit box that the Widow Gill held at the local bank. But Knight THE CRAFTSMAN This Time He Was Devising a New Torpedo. had fled, while his worthless stock went tumbling about his ears. That was eight years before, and Polly had grown from a beautiful girl to a disappointed spinster of considerably more than thirty. Nobody expected Polly to marry, although she had had suitors before Knight put in his appearance. But nobody dreamed that Knight was still the knight of her heart, and that she repeated his words to herself every evening: "I'll be true to you, Polly, however long I'm gone. And I'll come for you some day, never doubt me, dear." Then Knight had come back, to board at the Widow Gill's, instead of at the hotel. At first the people of Lausanne evidenced sullen antipathy. Some still held Knight's rotten script; a few had unloaded theirs upon credulous neighbors. But the Widow Gill had forgiven him. "It ain't Eph's fault," she would explain. "He couldn't know the Wrights would get out their patent ahead of him like that." Something about her tone made folks prick up their ears. Surely it wasn't possible, but it was! Eph Knight was courting Polly Gill again—he, the twelve-dollar mechanic, and she the seven-dollar stenographer. And the old maid look was being froned out of the face of this woman of thirty-four, and Eph Knight stepped down the street beside her like a young man again. There was no doubt of it. They were to be married some day—some day, when Eph's dreams came true. But Eph wouldn't hear of his wife working, and twelve dollars cut no ice eve in Lausanne. Worst of all, Eph still had those invention ideas swarming in his head. He didn't stay long at work. As soon as he had saved a hundred dollars he put up a shed and started on his models. This time he was devising a new torpedo. A hundred dollars, with board to meet, doesn't go far in making torpedoes. Eph became raggeder and more unkempt. It was seen that he would never be able to take care of Polly. Only the girl and her mother believed in him at all, and he was getting behind in his board. The chances of marriage were more and more remote. People spoke indignantly of the fellow. Then the war broke out, and Eph's torpedo was nearly completed. He had the plans drawn, and off he went to Washington, to submit them to the patent office. He found that he would have to prove they were workable and returned to the factory. He was refused permission to experiment there—it was the busy season. Nobody in Lausanne would help Eph, even if he had wanted to be helped. Jim Carew set the pace, and he was bitter against Eph. Carew had turned Eph's invention into a company concern, and he was loaded down to the heels with the worthless stock. Eph wanted Polly badly; he humbled himself to go to the magnate and ask for work as—his chauffeur! "Your man's left, I hear," Eph began. "You want the job," said Carew, and a devilish clever thought came to him. "How would twenty-five a week suit you?" he asked. AT THE ENGLISH HOME OF THE WASHINGTON FAMILY Sulgrave Manor, in Northamptonshire, is preserved as a peace memorial between Great Britain and the United States. Here is an interesting story of the historical place J to the old building the heraldic device of stars and stripes which Washington accepted as his own coat of arms, and which is commonly regarded as the origin of the American flag. In the summer of 1911 the suggestion was made by a prominent member of the British Peace committee that the historical property should be purchased and dedicated as a memorial to the peaceful relations existing between the two countries during the past century, the dedication to be one of the features of the international celebrations in 1914. This idea immediately met with popular favor. The British committee acquired the property, and dedicated it to peace between England and the United States. The manor has been made into a Hall of Records, where matter pertaining to Anglo-American unity is kept. It is understood that a lecture chair soon will be supplied by the purchasers and that James Bryce, ex-ambassador to the United States, will be its first occupant. to the old building the heraldic device of stars and stripes which Washington accepted as his own coat of arms, and which is commonly regarded as the origin of the American flag.

The manor has been made into a Hall of Records, where matter pertaining to Anglo-American unity is kept. It is understood that a lecture chair soon will be supplied by the purchasers and that James Bryce, exambassador to the United States, will be its first occupant. The manor is a charming piece of old architecture, gray with the rains, frost and sunshine of 300 years. The house stands at the eastern extremity of the village of Sulgrave, in Northamptonshire, and it is approached from the west by a pretty green croft, separated from the almost encircling road by a hedge. To the right of the gable end of the macer is a low stone wall with a larch gate, facing a small court, partly paved and partly in grass. From the courtyard the house is entered by a handsome old stone doorway, above which a little attic projects from a tiled roof. The fine old Tudor doorway is surmounted by a shield containing the Washington coat of arms, which three centuries have somewhat robbed of its original sharpness, but which is still unmistakable. What a fortune had that shield of a private English gentleman—to become the most notable blazon of all the world! Strange to think that this little obscure stone coat of arms in a secluded Northamptonshire village should be the original of so much—should still be extant. As strange to think of the contrast between the torpid and monotonous rustic life surrounding it for so many generations with the rush and roar of existence in our great republic. There is very little doubt that the three stars and the three stripes furnished the idea for the American flag. In the flag, as in the original, the stars signify divine influence guiding the bearer in the right way, while the bars denote one who sets the bar of conscience and religion against wicked temptations and evil desires. The colors, red and white, seem to follow also; the red meaning military bravery and fortitude; the white peace and sincerity.

Tupper is probably right when, in his "Contennial Drama," he makes Franklin say: . . . I proposed it to the congress. It was the leaders old crusading blazon, Washington's coat, his own heraldic shield. And on the spur, when we must choose a flag Symboling independent unity. We and not he—all was unknown to him— Took up his coat of arms and multiplied And magnified it, in every way to this Our glorious national banner. He adds, also, some allusions to the old mansion: . . . The Washingtons, of Wassyngton, In County Durham, and on Sulgrave Manor, County Northampton, bore upon their shield Three stars atop . . . and for the crest An eagle's head upspringing to the light, The architraves of Sulgrave testify, As sundry printed windows in the hall WASHINGTON'S APPEAL TO GOD WASHINGTON'S APPEAL TO GOD One day a Quaker farmer was passing through the winter woods near Valley Forge at twilight. Suddenly he heard a voice, and, following the sound, he came upon Commander Washington upon his knees in the snow, his cheeks wet, his voice pleading brokenly for his country and his people. The farmer returned to his home, his eyes dark and solemn with conviction. "I'll take you, then. And I'll pay you twenty-five—in the Knight company stock." Eph never blinked. "That suits me," he answered. And he went to work. The Knight company, insolvent as ever, made steel castings in a small way, and the twenty-five dollar shares were still to be bad, if anyone wanted them, at about three dollars apiece. The widow had fifty. Carew held forty thousand, and every Saturday one was unloaded on Eph. After a couple of months the magnate grew reckless. "I'll raise you to a hundred," he said. That meant about twelve dollars a week to Eph. Actually, Carew was afraid of losing a good chauffeur. "I'll make it two hundred," he said a little later. "Pretty good salary for a chauffeur?" "Yes, sir," said Eph. Eight shares a week passed into Eph's pocket, or twenty-five dollars at the actual Knight prices. In six months he held something over two hundred shares, representing a capital of $600. Polly was jubilant. He had spoken of marrying her. One Saturday Carew said, "I'll buy back those shares at five apiece. Eph. I hear the company's doing a little business. I understand you haven't cashed in on them." "I'm going to hold them, sir," said Eph. "I'm going to sell them my torpedo and, when they start manufacturing, the shares will be worth the old price, and something more." "Well, I'll pay you cash in future," grumbled Carew. "There won't be any future," answered Eph. "I'm going to leave you tomorrow, Mr. Carew." He did, and the bans were put up in church, while Eph went back to the shed and invested everything in a forge and torpedo metal. Folks pitied Polly now. They spoke more harshly of Eph than ever. He had sold his stock at six, and it was rising, rising. It became twelve, twenty, fifty. The war bomb broke with a vengeance. It rose to ninety. It touched a hundred. There was a wild flurry to sell. Everyone sold except the Wildow Gill, whose five thousand dollars' worth remained in the bank vaults. People alternately cursed and praised Eph, according as they had won or lost. "It'll touch two hundred," said Eph, when the slump followed. Only Knight stocks held steady. Nobody understood. Not till Eph and Polly, both radiantly happy, had started on their honeymoon. Then the papers were full of the news. The Knight company—Eph Knight, president, had the exclusive right to manufacture the new torpedo for the allied governments. And Eph, who had sold at six, held fifty thousand shares, new shares, at two hundred! "Welcome home!" said the triumphal banner under which the honeymooners rode on their return journey. But when the mobs had dispersed Polly sat beside Eph, radiantly happy, in the old woodshed, while the inventor, lost in thought worked on his improved aeroplane engine. KILLING ANTS WITH CANNON Only Way Known to Kill Off Destructive Little Warrior Insects Common to South Africa. It is hard to imagine big guns killing anything except men and horses. In South Africa and other tropical counties, however, they are used to kill ants—the termites, or warrior ants. These ants are highly organized. They live in a republic of their own, and are divided into classes of workmen, soldiers and queens. The workmen construct the huge nests, the soldiers defend them and keep order, and the females, or queens, are cared for by all the others. The ant heaps of these particular ants are often twenty feet high and pyramidal in shape. Cattle climb up on them without crushing them. A dozen men can find shelter in some of their chambers, and native hunters often lie in wait inside them when out after wild animals—after the nests have been deserted, of course. The ants construct galleries which are as wide as the bore of a large cannon, and which run three or four feet underground. If we built houses as big in proportion, a workingman would live in a dwelling as big as a pyramid of Egypt. These ants are frightfully destructive, and the only way to kill them off is to blow them and their nests to pieces with guns loaded with grape shot. Needed. A woman who had had four stalwart soldiers billeted on her endeavored to use as little butcher meat as possible. Day after day there was served up at dinnertime a scanty meal, the chief item of which was tea. "Ah," she said one day, pointing to a tea-leaf floating in one of the cups, "there's to be a visitor today!" "Well, madam," said one of the hungry four, "let us hope it's the butcher!" First Real British Census The first real census of Great Britain and Ireland was taken in 1801, when the population of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland was found to be 15,717,287. Food prices were then regulated by parliamentary enactment and "forestallers," or speculators in provisions, were severely punished by imprisonment. After the close of the Waterloo campaign prices receded to almost former rates and the British people were again happy. Gleaned From the Visiting Nurse. In order to keep your hands from being parboiled when you have to provide hot compresses for the invalid, run two long wooden rods into slots stitched in the ends of the flannel or linen compresses. Rest these sticks on the top of the pan of boiling water and when it is time to apply the compress it is easily wrung by twisting the sticks in opposite directions. Getting a Start. He had just taken his first cold bath. "Now," said he to himself, "I must go downstreet and brag about the cold bath I take every morning." N a quiet, rural neighborhood, where the farmhouses are quaint, and antiquated, stands Sulgrave Manor, the one-time English home of the Washington family. The manor never really saw George Washington or his father, or even his grandfather, but the Washington family possessed and occupied it during most of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is still possible to distinguish over the main entrance on family, really saw this father, but, the assessed and cost of the tenth centible to dismantle entrance of stars died as his commonly reflag.

The old building is in an excellent state of preservation. The main hall has a fine fireplace and an oak beam ceiling.

The drawing room is on the second floor, as was the custom in the days when it was built, and in one of the bedrooms it is said the Queen Elizabeth once slept. The estate surrounds Sulgrave manor consists of about two hundred acres of gently rollled land, substantially all of it in full view of the manor. The ownership carries with it the loft of the manor, "with the Rights, Royalities, Privileges and Appurtenances thereto belonging and is subject to "a fee farm rent of 11s 5d ($2.95 per annum." Sulgrave Manor is the place in England most closely associated with the name of Washington and yet it is true that George Washington himself attached little importance to this fact. In the early days of the American republic, an ancestor was despised much more than is now the case. In 1788 George Washington refused to accept a dedication of a book on heraldry because a portion of the community were: "Clamorously endeavoring to propagate an idea that those whom they wished invidiously to denigrate by the name 'well-born' were meditation in the first instance to distinguish themselves from their compatriots and to wrest the dear privileges from the bulk of the people." But the ability to trace one's ancestors has given the value in this country today than it has in the days of the first president. Washington knew very little about his own forefathers. When he was asked about them by the Garter King-Arms, he said the first of his family in Virginia had come from one of the northern cities of England, possibly Yorkshire or Lancashire, even farther north. Later there was considerable disputation about the root of the family tree from which he was descended, and it was finally agreed by genealogists that the Washington's Sulgrave and Sulgrave in Warton, Lancashire, a place in the Westmoreland border. Several generations of Washington's Warton are recorded, and one of these was the father of Laurence Washington, mayor of Northampton in 1532 and 1545. He seems to have taken up his residence at Sulgrave, though members of his family continued to remain at Warton for several generations. This Laurence Washington had a mother the daughter of Robert Kytson of Hoghrein in Suffolk. This proved a matter of very considerable importance in their history, because it brought them into connection with the Spurs of Althorp and Wormleighton, through the marriage of Sir Thomas Kytson's daughter, Carerine, to Sir John Spencer of Wormleighton, whose grandson, Sir Robert Spencer, was created Baron Spencer of Wormleighton in 1603. In the process of time the Washington's Sulgrave appear to have got into financial difficulties. Laurence Washington entered the wool trade, which induced to do so by the fact that Le Spencer was one of the great flock-masters of the day. This Laurence acquired considerable rich in the wool trade. In 1539 he became possessor of the Manor of Sulgrave for the sum of the hundred and twenty-one pounds, fourteen shillings, and subsequently he purchased additional property. The old building is in an excellent state of preservation. The main hall has a fine fireplace and an oak beam ceiling. The ancient oak staircase has very beguiling twisted banisters and a fascinating secret cupboard at the intermediate landing. The drawing room is on the second floor, as was the custom in the days when it was built, and in one of the bedrooms it is said that Queen Elizabeth once slept. The estate surrounding Sulgrave manor consists of about two hundred acres of gently rolling land, substantially all of it in full view of the manor. The ownership carries with it the lordship of the manor, "with the Rights, Royalities, Privileges and Appurtenances thereto belonging," and is subject to "a fee farm rent of 11s 5d ($2.84) per annum." Sulgrave Manor is the place in England most closely associated with the name of Washington, and yet it is true that George Washington himself attached little importance to this fact. In the early days of the American republic, ancestry was despised much more than is now the case. In 1788 George Washington refused to accept the dedication of a book on heraldry because a portion of the community were: "Clamorously endeavoring to propagate an idea that those whom they wished invidiously to designate by the name 'well-born' were meditating in the first instance to distinguish themselves from their compatriots and to wrest the dearest privileges from the bulk of the people." But the ability to trace one's ancestors has a greater value in this country today than it had in the days of the first president. Washington knew very little about his own forefathers. When he was asked about them by the Garter King-of-Arms, he said the first of his family in Virginia had come from one of the northern counties in England, possibly Yorkshire or Lancashire, or even farther north. Later there was considerable disputation about the root of the family tree from which he was descended, and it was finally agreed by genealogists that the Washingtons of Sulgrave and Brighton did actually spring from the Washingtons in Warton, Lancashire, a place on the Westmorland border. Several generations of Washington's of Warton are recorded, and one of these was the father of Laurence Washington, mayor of Northampton in 1532 and 1545. He seems to have taken up his residence at Sulgrave, though members of his family continued to remain at Warton for several generations. This Laurence Washington had for mother the daughter of Robert Kytson of Hengrave in Suffolk. This proved a matter of very considerable importance in their history, because it brought them into connection with the Spencers of Althrop and Wormleighton, through the marriage of Sir Thomas Kytson's daughter, Catherine, to Sir John Spencer of Wormleighton, whose grandson, Sir Robert Spencer, was created Baron Spencer of Wormleighton in 1603. In the process of time the Washingtonts of Sulgrave appear to have got into financial difficulties. Laurence Washington entered the wool trade, perhaps induced to do so by the fact that Lord Spencer was one of the great flock-masters of his day. This Laurence acquired considerable riches in the wool trade. In 1539 he became possessed of the Manor of Sulgrave for the sum of three hundred and twenty-one pounds, fourteen shillings, and subsequently he purchased additional property.

HOME TOWN HELPS French Architect Sees Great Changes to Be Brought About in the Years to Come. At a recent gathering of world-renowned architects Edouard Henard, architect for the city of Paris, presented a paper which included a number of novel suggestions as to the requirements in the city plan of the future. He predicted that public service within the next quarter of a century will include many details not yet even under consideration. Most of these are to be supplied by tube and provision for a perfect network of service tubes must be made in city planning. They would seriously interfere with present arrangements. Vacuum cleaning may be one of these and it will require a pipe from every house for the pneumatic dust removal which will be regarded as an essential part of public health work. As the uses of cold air increase, other tubes will supply it to lower the temperature as desired and for the distribution of fresh air from the sea or the mountains. Mr. Henard emphasized the feasibility of this fresh air supply as a health measure, because of the fact that a meter of fresh air from a nearby street contained 6,000 disease germs, while the same amount from the mountains or the sea need contain almost none. As coal oil is largely used for fuel purposes in Paris and is productive of less smoke and dust than other fuels, he suggests the possibility of an oil pipe service for all residences similar to the gas pipes now in use. The old idea that the street should be level with the ground may in future be considered erroneous. It should be sufficiently above the surface it is held, to give room for all these service utilities between it and the ground. The adjacent houses should have basement floors. The sidewalks and roadways should be built like continuous substantial bridges, which after proper construction, would not need to be medded with except for repairs. They should be supported by walls of masonry parallel to the adjacent houses and on a level with the second story. Such a plan would make the modern city street two storied, the upper part for pedestrians and light weight vehicles, the lower for service and heavy traffic. This arrangement has already been introduced in Chicago for traffic between the railway stations and certain private warehouses. Re-enforced concrete roofs, Mr. Henard holds, will provide gardens and also landing places for the aeroplanes which will come into more general use. Garages and hangars will be available below the surface and great elevators will lift these machines from their subterranean quarters as desired. The beginning of these innovations is said to be already in sight. At least one large American hotel has already provided a roof landing for aeroplanes. New York has now a public playground and garden built upon bridge trestling fifty feet from the ground. BEST TREES FOR THE STREET Selection Should by No Means Be Allowed to Be a Mere Matter of Haphazard. As to the planting of street trees it is well before coming to any definite decision to study the special situation carefully and to consult a reliable nurseryman and then plant with a fixed determination to give each tree every possible chance to make good, which means protection from insects, giving water when needed, insisting that drivers do not leave their horses near the trees where they can gnaw the bark, and last but not least, seeing that the trees have an occasional pruning. The following is a list of the best standard street trees: Rock and Norway Maples, the foliage turning a rich gold and crimson in the autumn; American Ash, which has beautiful compound foliage, dark green above and lighter beneath, and turns from green to yellow and then to a purplish tint in the autumn; English Elm, which is very ornamental and retains its leaves longer than any other variety in the autumn, but which should be protected by spraying from the gypsy moth and elm beetles; American Linden, which flowers in July, but as the blossoms are small the falling petals do not litter the ground; Ginkgo, a Japanese tree, growing to a height of some forty to sixty feet and robust enough to endure general city planting; Sycamore and Oriental Plane, the latter a rapid grower and singularly free from insects. The Blue Gum tree may be also added to the list in southern climates. Many Mialaid Articles Protectors against rain seem to be the most easily forgotten impediments that the traveler carries. During a recent week 157 articles were left in trains of the Chicago & Northwestern railway. Of these, 34 were umbrellas and 15 were raincoats. These articles were probably carried by unusually forehanded travelers, but doubtless the clouds cleared off and the careful citizens became preoccupied in fair weather thoughts. Truthful Debtor.

FIGHTING TENTH ADDS GLORY TO THE IRISH ARMS Makes Most Remarkable Stand Against Overwhelming Force of Bulgars. DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAD LOST Allied Division Slowly Pushed Back but Exacts Awful Toll in Slaughter for Every Yard—Machine London.—Although the government has repeatedly been pressed to give the country the story of the stand of the Tenth (Irish) division against overwhelming forces of the Bulgars in Macedonia before the retreat of the allies to Saloniki, the United Kingdom, and Ireland in particular, is still waiting for the official account of the action, which, though it ended adversely, will rank among the finest exploits of British arms. The Weekly Dispatch publishes the story of how the Irish regiments stood their ground against wave upon wave of Bulgars, mowing them down with rifle and machine guns to the accompaniment of shouts of "Stick it, jolly boys; give 'em hell, Connaughts!" The account fills more than a page of that newspaper, and the following are the main points of the story. Officers Were Warned. "On December 3, which was a Friday, the British outposts brought in six Bulgar deserters, who had much of interest to tell. They said that the Bulgars not only had suffered very heavily in their engagements with the Serbians, but were losing men rapidly owing to sickness and frostbite. "What is more to the point, they warned the officers that a big attack against our line was impending, that it had been arranged to take place that day, but that the severe snowstorm had caused them to put it off to another day, which would not be long delayed. "These opportune tidings, which, as events proved, were thoroughly reliable, were communicated to headquarters and the necessary precautions for battle taken. The outposts were drawn in and finishing touches given to the trenches. "Dawn had scarcely broken when the enemy made his expected attack. The conditions wholly favored him, for a fairly dense fog prevailed, and under its cover the Bulgars were able to get within 300 yards of parts of our line without being observed. The iniskillings were the first to be attacked; about 5 a. m. their outposts were driven in and then a great mass of the enemy swooped down on the trenches, but were driven back by the fire of our Maxim guns and by the steady magazine fire that came from the trenches. Mad. Rush to Slaughter. "Scarcely had the attack on the extreme right of our line had time to develop when the main body of Bulgarians were seen running down a defile leading to the center of our front. They were perceived as a long, interminable stretch of men—a mass of shadowy figures revealed half distinctly in the mist. As they reached the end of the defile they spread out as from a bottle neck, and with wild cheers flung themselves on our line. But before they had got so far our guns smashed and battered the thick procession of men leaping out of the narrow gorge. It was impossible to miss them. British artillery had never had such a target since the first battle of Ypres, when the guns literally mowed down the half-trained German troops who attacked on the Yser. "The slaughter of the guns was magnified by the slaughter of the rapid magazine fire at short range. Wave after wave of the enemy came on, each broken as it swept out of the defile, but the Bulgars were not to be denied. Though their comrades fell thick and fast they came on, and by sheer impetus of numbers reached our trenches, where awful work was wrought. It was hand to hand fighting then—terrible to witness, terrible to think of. The short bayonet of the Bulgar, however, was of little use in these trench combats, and man for man the British won, but the Bulgars had the numbers and temporarily the first line of the Twelfth division was overborne. The British were driven out. Wonderful bayonet Charge. "The British artillery had been doing splendid work, but now the enemy artillery was in full blast, and they poured a devastating and withering hall of fire on our positions, which through faulty ranging put out of action more of the Bulgars than it did of us. The Munsters and the Connaughts and the Dublins quickly rallied, and with a wonderful bayonet charge drove the enemy out of their trenches again. The enemy, massed in close formation, swarmed in once more, but against the deadly fire poured into them they could make no headway for some time. The brave Irish regiments were pouring lead into them as fast as they could load their rifles. They poured into the oncoming masses as much as 175 rounds at point blank range. "But it was, for all our grim resist- Experiments Made by New Jersey Man Show Bivalves Alive After Six Weeks. Sayville, N.

"The night of the 7th the Bulgars made a final attempt to smash our re "In the end we gave the enemy his dearly bought line of trenches and slowly fell back to our second line of positions, where the remainder of the division joined us and helped to beat off the sustained attacks, which lackedaught in violence. All day the Bulgars alternately bombarded andcharged us. There seemed to be thousands and thousands of them. They gave us no rest at night. Wherever we stood they rained an unceasingfusillade of shell upon us and followedeach rafale up with a determinedinfantry attack. "Outnumbering the Tenth division in the proportion of at least eight to one, they were obstinately bent on its destruction at whatever cost to themselves. Their artillery far exceeded ours in weight of metal, but in effectiveness there was no comparison. Almost all our shells told, while many of theirs did no more than splinter the rocks yards away. So Monday, December 6, was passed with the Tenth division mightly pressed but still well able to hold its own. Tuesday, the 7th, was an exact replica of the previous day. Tenth Held Its Own. Fenth Held Its Own. "The Bulgars heavily bombarded our line; then sent forward strong storming parties before whom we recoiled a little, but no more. The division never lost its cohesion, and it gave ground only at the rate of two miles a day, which is a proof, if any were needed, of the splendid rear-guard action that this much-outnumbered force fought. Our artillery kept them in sufficient check to give us all the respite we needed, and the rifle fire of the different regiments bit gaping wounds in the enemy mass that helped to throw them into temporary confusion. "Teodorow, the Bulgarian general, is a great believer in the German method of attack. He reckons no loss in men is too great if the objective be gained. The objective in this case was the decimation of the Tenth division, and under his orders the Bulgars charged and charged until the snowdrifts over which the battle was fought was black with the recumbent forms of his men. "In the two days we drew four miles nearer to the Greek frontier.

Captain Ockers' idea is that during suspended animation their condition will be similar to that of the frog frozen in a cake of ice. Captain Ockers believes that oysters can be put into the freezer in April or any other time when they are in prime condition and held for a favorable market. He has made successful experiments up to six weeks, and believes that if an oyster can be frozen for six weeks could continue to maintain this deliberate rate of retirement with our formations still intact we could hope for salvation, for we knew that re-enforcements were due. "The night of the 7th the Bulgars made a final attempt to smash our resistance. They redoubled the force of their bombardment; they increased still more the momentum of their infantry attacks. They came very near to achieving their purpose, and there were hours when one would have asked prayers for the Tenth division, but British bulldog courage and obstinacy withstood all the fury of the enemy's onset, and our mountain artillery always found an easy target. By the 8th the force of the Bulgar attacks had spent itself. They still shelled our line and sent forward their infantry to the charge, but the sting had gone out of their efforts and we were able with comparatively little difficulty to repel them, our machine guns in particular doing bitter havoc in their serrilled ranks. Later our heroie Tenth division was placed in sec and line. The effect of our re-enforcements was quickly felt on the enemy who as we continued our retirement became more cautious, following us only at a respectful distance. Proved Their Mettle. "In the two days battle the Tenth division inflicted on the enemy at least four times their own number of casualties, and what is possibly equally of importance, they taught him the temper and morale of British infantry. The Bulgars were fighting on ground which they knew as well as the Inniskillings knew Ulster. They had the advantage of our men in artillery, and beyond all question in numbers. When they commenced their attack on Monday they disposed of at least three divisions, the whole of the first Bulgar army and part of the second. By the end of the first day the remainder of the second army had formed up so that one division of British was opposed to four Bulgar divisions, but the Tenth division had been thinned down, and it is no exaggeration to say that it fought against odds of eight to one. "The Tenth division outlived the horrors of Sulva; it outlived the days and nights of biting cold on the Serbian frontier ranges, and it finished the miracle, to quote the official phrase, by 'sustaining violent attacks delivered by the enemy in overwhelming numbers.' The slow, punishing, rearguard action it fought allowed the allies to withdraw all their accumulated stores and munitions and to fall back without congestion into Greek territory again. "The Tenth division saved the situation by a display of courage and dogged heroism that cannot be too highly praised. One of these days we shall be told what the general said to the thinned units when he met them again at Salonikl. At the moment all that can be said is that they were high words of praise. "They have brought the wounded Connaughts, Munsters, Inniskillings, West Kents and the rest to Plymouth, and you will find them distributed over the various wards of the military hospital. A cheery, good-humored body of men they are, disposed to make light of their experiences. "It is hard to explain how the Tenth division, encompassed as it was, won through, and perhaps the most satisfactory thing to do is to fall back on the explanation of a Munster Fanger, whose only grumble is that he was kept twelve hours in those terrible forty-eight hours' fighting without food: 'They beat us with numbers. We couldn't hope to hold up against the crowd they sent against us, a draft, clumsy gang of men. We gave 'em hell, but their numbers beat us. But two days wasn't much of a time to give theirselves to make us see we were beaten, and so we got away with them still coming after us. You'd got to be there to see what happened.' It sounds very much like an anti-cilimax, but it is really what happened. The Tenth division escaped because it hadn't time to know that by all the rules it was beaten." "You say your friend's business is light reading. Does he read novels for a publishing house?" "No; he reads meters for the gas company." and still live the process may be extended indefinitely.

Old Slave Mart New Orleans YOU are a lover of the quaint, the picturesque, the old, or you would not find yourself in the old slave mart of Le Vieux Carre de New Orleans on a glowering day, when the storm clouds overhanging the East are sending out streaks of lightning. Presently you pass through an ornate entrance to the ground floor of a huge old wrinkled building, peeling off for its final plunge into oblivion. It is the historic Hotel St. Louis, erected in 1836. Don Pedro, emperor of Brazil, and afterward his grandson, were its guests. Here banqueted statesmen, princes and famous men, and here, before the changing of the tides, were sittings of legislative bodies, says the Kansas City Star. As you stand in the listening silence, in the dampness of mold and decay, you unconciously visualize the life of a long-gone yesterday. Now suddenly you start, disturbed by an impression of sound down a long, dark, dusty passageway. It is only the rain seeping in, drip, drip, every spatter echoing hollowly in the emptiness. Again you drift back to your dreams, and, again your nerves twang, this time at the scuttle of a rat in the broken wainscoting behind an old slave block, showing the crumbling, though quite distinguishable, name of a famous auctioneer of ante-bellum days. Beyond the block and the mart about it your searching eyes find a wide expanse of earth and cement floor bordered by rows of cells almost wholly striped of bars. With a swift intake of breath you reach the rusty gratings and peer into the dusky interior. You catch a whiff of chill, earthy air and the plaintive chirp of a cricket. It requires but a slight turn of your imagination to people the prison with soft-eyed patient slaves awaiting orders with the stolidity and obedience that was part of their nature. You see the old and the young, the strong and the weak, and all the various types, from a coarse Herculean African to a slender, clear-eyed octoroon. The octoroon holds your attention. She is young and THE HOTEL THE HOTEL ST LOUIS INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE strong and will sell for several thousand dollars. In a moment she stands on the block and the voice of the auctioneer leaps out like a whip lash: "Gentlemen, this is a likely wench. What am I bid for her?" There follows a rapid, sing-song recital of the girl's salable points, ending with scarcely a noticeable break in the crisp, persuasive challenge: A prosperous looking planter strides forward and touches her arms apprasially, then his hand falls unabashed to her strong bare ankles. He steps back obviously pleased, calling out with assumed indifference: "One thousand dollars!" Higher the bids go, higher and higher; voices rise and fall, rise and soar and swell, until at last the hammer falls, the bable subsides and the octoroon steps down to her new master. As by no volition of your own, your mind slips back to the cells and to a buxom, kind-faced mammy, created and endowed to nurse the offspring of white mothers. She will bring but a modest price in the mart, for there are many of her kind. Here is a young quadroon, there a gray old Creole darky, somewhere else a very black and strapping half-grown negress. You sense their speaking voices, deep and melodious, a jargon of French and Spanish inlaid with many little English words. Suddenly, 'in the cells occupied by the men, the coarser black!' break out in a burst of wild, weird song, cut through by the tamam of a drum made of a gourd covered with sheepskin. A tail and sinewy negro rises and steps out quickly to the center of the As a way to beat lawyers who thrive on long-drawn-out will contests we recommend the last will and testament of a Los Angeles man who died leaving an estate of $110,000. This was his will, fourteen words in all: "I direct that all my property be distributed according to the laws of California." As an example of multum in parvo this will is entitled to rank as a classic. Maybe this man's will was superfluous, but he had the fun of making a will, which is all the satisfaction that many of them get out of it. One reads some so very silly articles upon the subject of recurrence of dreams that it is necessary to repeat that our dreams are nothing more than a continuation of the state previous to sleep when we lie with no bodily or mental occupation beyond following out whatever train of thought happens to have been suggested, a writer in the London Observer remarks. Two common dream experi- Short and Sweet. floor and dances with rolling eyes and gaping mouth to the time of the primi- tive drum. Now, a bat flutters out of the shadows and brushes your face, while you stir out of cramping muscles with a muttered word of relief. Drip, drip, drip, the rain sees in, steadily, now, like a clock ticking. You mount a flight of broad and creaking walnut stairs and pause at the first landing to view a pink and illac tracery on the wall which once represented a painting of De Soto's first view of the Mississippi. Led by the Chateaigne. You glance at two holes high up in the outer wall which show the light like a pair of prying eyes under shaggy brows, then you take a bracing breath and go on. But you halt abruptly at the sound of an opening door and the echo of slow and dragging feet coming nearer and nearer. In a moment a woman short and heavy of build, with the mingled air of graciousness and reserve, is before you. She is the chatelaine. You know it before she says "Entrez!" in her charming throaty French. She has on a skirt of faded crimson and blue, with a basquelike bodice of luminous green. She wears a cap of soiled D'Alencon lace, and a fine odd brooch of jet as sparkling black as her deepest eyes. Instinctively you drop a silver piece into the bag which dangles with a bunch of keys from her ample waist, and follow her shuffling lead. To the accompaniment of her explanatory and also rapid French, you are shown salons with cracked and sunken marble fireplaces, salons with vanished onyx floors, once pressed by the satin-clad feet of many beautiful women, mildewed mirrors made in the days of the first empire, crystal chandellers with broken pear-shaped prisms, and walls from which priceless frescoes and friezes and medallions have been removed, bits of bronze from an old balustrade, the battered fragments of a fountain. One Room Still a Home. When you have looked into countless chambers and heard the history INTERNATIONAL CINEMASERVICE L ST LOUIS of each, you come upon a half-open door which reveals a scene of homely comfort. Here lives the chatelaine, alone, save for a white cockatoo, a canary and a tortoise shell cat. There's one old mended antique chair upholstered in gay colored chintz, a spindle-legged table rich with carving and black with age, a shelf set with a row of clean blue dishes and shining pots and pans. A kettle singing over the fire gives out the appetizing smell of a shrimp pot-pourri. On the broad window ledge is a box of kitchen bouquet; basil, cheval, coriander, and on the odd little balcony jutting out from it a sweet box garden of petunias, cypress vines and myrtle. Above it a freighted clothesline flaps in the wind and rain. Here you say "B'soir," and insist that you can find your way without further guidance. You retrace your steps, halting now and then to be certain of your direction, and come at last to view the ruin of a fine old tapestry. On you go to the great ground floor and linger a moment for one last look at the slave mart. Then your feet find the quiet street and a cool, mist-driven wind smites your face refreshingly. You swing back easily to the present and everyday realities, but the old Hotel St. Louis is graven upon your heart. It will slip into your thoughts again and again no matter where you may be. At the theater perhaps, at the dance, in the busy, noisy rounds of life rather than in the silences, you will remember, you will re-see it, re-live it. And you will hear the sound of rain keeping in—drip, drip, drip—the plaintive chirp of a cricket and the scutter of a rat in the broken wainscoting ences frequently recurring are those of the sensation of flying and of the uneasy impression of being about in public in insufficient attire. The first is caused by the physical fact that we are, at the moment, without noticeable pressure actually suspended in space; the second by the equally physical fact that few people in these days go to bed in their boots. It is beyond question that dreams are started or suggested, not only by these personal hints, but by external events, usually a noise. Evelyn—Why, I thought you were to sail for Europe yesterday. Reginald—That was my aw-intention, donchier know, but law-changed me mind at the lawst moment. Evelyn—Glad to hear it, and I hope you got a better ove in the change. Speaking of Ankles.

What She Hoped HANDICRAFT FOR BOYS AND GIRLS A HOMEMADE SAFE WITH A TIME-LOCK. All of you boys will want to make this unique safe for your bedroom. An ordinary alarm-clock is required for a lock. Let the dimensions of the safe be determined by the size of box which you can get. Fig. 5 shows the interior, with shelves spaced at the right distances apart to allow for four tiers of boxes. Cigar boxes with spool knobs are excellent for these boxes. Fasten the shelves as shown at A, Fig. 2. Nail a strip about an inch and one-half wide to one edge of the box, for a hinge-strip (B, Fig. 2.) Then make a door out of the box-cover boards. $\textcircled{1}$ fastening these together with battens (C, Fig. 3). Locate the opening for the clock face in the center of the width of the door, and several inches above the center of the height. Make it a trifle smaller than the clock case, so the case will set over it as shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 3 suggests how to make the hole by first boring a number of holes and then cutting out the wood between with a small saw or chisel. Hinge the door as shown in Figs. 1 and 4. Now for the time-lock. Fasten the clock back of the opening with a staple driven over the top ring and another over each foot (Fig. 5). Then cut latch D (Figs. 5 and 6) several inches shorter than the width of the A A B $\textcircled{2}$ $\textcircled{3}$ $\textcircled{4}$ door, and cut crosspiece E several inches shorter than D. Nail crosspiece E to the door an inch and one half below the clock, pivot latch D to it with a screw, and nail block F to the door just below E for a stop for the latch. Screw a screw-eye into the latch at G, and two others into the door at H and I; then tie a latch-string to screw-eye G, run it up to and through screw-eyes H and I, and down to the alarm winding key of the clock. Pull the string taut, and, after winding the alarm, tie the string to the key. Now, when the alarm goes off and the key reverses, the string will wind about it and raise the latch. There must be a catch J (Figs. 5 and 6) for the latch to drop behind. The combination shown in Fig. 1 is make-believe. The knob is a snool H E D F J G $\textcircled{5}$ L K N $\textcircled{7}$ D $\textcircled{6}$ (K, Fig. 7), the large dial is the top of a sirup can, and the two are pivoted to the safe door with a nail. A button mold (M, Fig. 7) may be used to keep the spool from pulling off of the nail. Four spool feet fastened with nails to the safe bottom, and a couple of coats of black paint, will complete the safe. By setting the alarm-hand twice a day, you may have the safe open each morning when you arise, and each night at bedtime. Origin of Fire Damp. Fire damp is the ordinary name for the carbureted hydrogen which issues from "blowers" or fissures in coal seams. It is inflammable and when mixed with air in certain proportions is highly explosive. Its ignition is attended by the danger of an explosion of coal dust. A headlight on an automobile is of little use if there is a light head at the steering gear.—Richmond Times-Dispatch. FOR A WASHINGTON'S BIRTH- DAY PARTY. A Washington's birthday party may be given several days preceding or following February the twenty-second, according to the time most convenient. Crossing the Delaware is a good test of the steadiness of one's hand, and produces much merriment because seldom more than one, or two at most. $\textcircled{1}$ can meet the requirements. The game consists in carrying a peanut upon the blade of a table knife while walking the length of a room. And, to make the test more difficult, obstructions must be placed in the path so the girls and boys must step over them while crossing. Fig. 1 suggests how the obstructions may be formed with boards placed across books, and broomhandles placed across the rounds of chairs. Award a prize to the boy and another to the girl who crosses without dropping the peanut. Pinning the hatchet in the notch of George Washington's cherry tree is an adaptation of the game of pinning the tail upon the donkey. Paste together several sheets of wrapping-paper. Then place this large sheet upon the floor, or pin it upon the wall, and $\textcircled{2}$ 6 $\textcircled{3}$ with a crayon or soft pencil draw a tree five or six feet high, as in Fig 2. Draw the hatchets upon heavy cardboard (Fig. 3), making them in proportion to the tree; cut them out, and paint the blades red and the handles brown. Stick a pin through the blade. After giving out the hatchets, blind-fold the players one at a time, turn them about several times, and start them in the direction of the tree. A prize should be awarded to the one pinning a hatchet nearest the notch in the tree. George Washington shadowgraphe is a splendid guessing game. Hang a sheet in a doorway, and have all the boys go on one side, and the girls on the other side. Then beginning with the boys, have each in turn put on a cocked hat and pose between a strong light and the screen, so as to throw $\textcircled{2}$ $\textcircled{6}$ $\textcircled{4}$ $\textcircled{5}$ $\textcircled{3}$ profile view of himself upon the sheet, as shown in Fig. 3. Each boy must have a number (unknown to the girls) and while his portrait is upon the screen the girls on the other side of the screen must guess who it is and write his name upon paper provided, in this way: "No. 1—George Washington Jones," "No. 2—George Washington Thompson," etc., prefixing the boys' last names with that of George Washington. Fig. 4 shows the cocked hat. 6 a circular piece of wrapping, 20 inches in diameter for the hat brim (Fig. 5), and cut a center, opening for the crown. Make a crown of a strip of cardboard bent into a band to fit your head, with a circular piece fitted to its top (Figs. 6 and 7). Fig. 3 shows how to arrange a lamp for projecting the light. To Tighten Loose Machine Belt. Instead of stopping your work wheel the sewing machine belt gets loose and taking time then to cut it off and fasten it, simply slip a few large rubber bands over the small wheel. They will hold the belt firmly until time for permanent repairs can be taken. Good Housekeeping. Minute But Malignant.
