When quite a lad he came to this part of the country and became a student in the law school of Kansas University from which school he graduated with high honors. He became a resident of Kansas City, Mo., immediately after his graduation and has become one of the most brilliant attorneys regardless of color to be found in our city. Mr. Hueston has a magnificent home, an excellent wife and two beautiful children. On account of his deep and sincere interest in his race, he has made himself a tower of strength in this community, both politically fraternally. Besides being an Mason, U. B.

The changing of the Grand Session from Springfield to Macon City was done Nothing in fraternal circles in Missouri in years has caused the discussion and argument as has the scheme recently uncovered of Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd to repeal the limitation law so as to have himself reelected to that position and he and his henchmen are leaving no stone unturned to accomplish his desired end. Meeting Strenuous Opposition. Meeting Strenuous Opposition. That he will and is meeting serious opposition can be and has been plainly seen by Lloyd and while he is using every possible means to bring about his desired end it is known that he seriously doubts succeeding, and has lined up every possible agency to accomplish his hoped for victory if possible. He has in former years been successful in putting things over by his appeal to the delegates from the sticks, but this time the opposition will come from the "sticks" and his case is already taking the appearance of a hopeless one, as the rural district voters are now getting their eyes open and declare openly that they will cease to being sugar-coated any longer, by being given a place on a cheap committee with the understanding that they support "The Administration, no matter what the Administration desires." Uses Office for Selfish Ends. Uses Office for Selfish Ends. One thing which make the opposition to "Sir" Lloyd so pronounced is that it has been discovered that even though he receives about $150 per month on the committee "For All of His time" plan, he uses the office and his time for purely selfish ends and devotes practically little time to the "work of the order," for which he was elected and re-elected to do but uses it to build up his own official fences and to do political work for candidates for office while the real work of keeping the organization alive is done by W. T. Aucel, Grand eeper of Record and Seal. Mr. Lloyd now is drawing the salary paid him by Pythians to devote all his time to building up the organization and at the same time has been for months engaged as a political worker for Charles D. Morris who is a candidate for governor of Missouri and the Pythian Temple building in St. Louis is used as a Morris For Governor headquarters, while Lloyd, B. F.

The changing of the Grand Session from Springfield to Macon City was done to make it more convenient for the "stick" delegates to attend and hopes that by patting on the back and plac- ing them on committees will line them up, "o do his bidding, but the men from the sticks have gotten their eyes open to the facts in the case and say they are tired of being "sold" so often politically and never "delivered." Want a New Deal. The members of the organization are clamoring for a change and what they really want is a new deal. Mr. Lloyd has "waxed fat" all these years. He has had a liberal rake off from many sources and got his $1,200 besides his expenses on the grounds that he "gives all his time" to the work of the order and yet in recent years the membership has gradually fallen off. Now the men feel that the thing to do is to elect some man who will have the interest of the organization at heart and can have other occupations as well as Grand Chancellor and would not prove so great a financial burden to the organization. Thus they will go to Macon determined to do. And an attempt to prevent them will re- sult disastrously. DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU?

A SOUTHERN PROTESTS AGAINST LYCHING. Savannah, Georgia—In a recent address speaking against evasion of the law, Geo. W. Owens, President of the Georgia Bar Association, told some of the results that have followed in the wake of sumptuary legislation. President Owens explained present conditions in Georgia by stating: "Of late years a wave of hysteria has gone over the state, and extremists have passed laws, sumptuary in character, but disignied under the veil of police regulations, which have not and never will have the undivided and genuine support of the masses of the people; private rights have been invaded, and resentment against the law engendered; the natural result has been that the laws mentioned have been generally disregarded, and it was but a step forward from refusing to obey that law to put at defiance the more important laws bearing on the well-being, good order and dignity of the state. President Owens further stated that: "This general contempt for law has resulted in the most serious consequences to the state." Georgia has had prohibition for over eight years. During this time, President Owens says that: "From having been a law-abiding state and one whose record was second to none in America, we have become the object of such adverse criticism that we are regarded as being in a condition of almost semi-barbarism." President Owens concluded his address by referring to the many lynchings which have occurred in that state, suggesting that this resulted from the general contempt for law that had been passed during a wave of hysteria which swept over Georgia. The gravest infraction of law, he said, is that of lynching, which has unfortunately become most frequent; this form of speedy justice against a criminal, which was applied almost exclusively in cases of outrage on women, has now become so common that a person charged with trivial crime, frequently suffers the extreme penalty for an act, of which, had he been convicted by due course of law, an imprisonment of short duration, would have been the appropriate punishment. How shall the perpetrators of this crime of murder be brought to justice? It is useless to attempt to indict them in the county where the act has been committed; though they are known, the grand jury will not indict, for frequently men composing that body have been either parties to the crime or are in such sympathy with the perpetrators that they disregard their oath of office.

EBENEZER A. M .E. CHURCH Quarterly conference was held at the Ebenezer A. M. E. church Thursday evening, July 6, by the presiding elder, Rev. A. A. Gilbert. It was one of the most impressive and inspiring quarterly conferences ever held in the history of this church. There being present a representation of every board in the church and each board having an excellent report. The P. E. Rev. A. A. Gilbert commended each board on the excellency of their work and of their particular interest in the progress of the work, in fact the church, under the pastorate of Rev. W. C. Williams, is one of the most progressive churches in the West, every department being thoroughly organized and equipped for the accomplishment of God's work. Rev. J. L. Williams of Colorado Springs was a visitor and spoke encouragingly and said he had been many places but had never seen better organization and workmanship anywhere. A vote of thanks was tendered Rev. J. L. Williams for his kind remarks also a vote of thanks was given Rev. Gilbert, P. E., for the pleasant manner in which he conducted the quarterly conference and the fellowship that existed. May God add his blessing to our beloved Zion. Mrs. Frank Smart of Maryville, Mo., and Miss Julia James of St. Louis. Mo., were the house guests of the Editor and wife during the Grand Chapter. Both expressed themselves as highly pleased with Kansas City and its people. AT CARRIZAL. ("Captain Morey says his Negro troops faced death singing.") By day the sky of Mexico Stars brazen, overhead; By night the light of alien stars Keeps watch above the dead. How did they die in that far land, How did they face the grave— Those men whose fathers bore the brand That marked the southern slave? Did they, like recreant cowards, weep, Or vainly seek to fly? Betrayed, outnumbered, still they fought To their heroic end, And smiled at death, and bravely sang As welcoming a friend. The strange, wild music of their race With mellow, low refrain, From cabin home, from rich land swamps, In memory swells again. But never such a song rang out As when they faced the foe, And, singing, charged from trench to trench. That song will show that men are men, Though children of the slave. —Charles T. Dazey in the New York Times. NEGRO SERGEANT WAS A HERO. But Censor Deleted Story of Ten Wounded Men on a Hand Car. (James Hopper in Collier's Weekly.) I know of a certain expedition into Mexico from which newspaper men were barred—all but a few whose editors were made to go through all sorts of genuflexions in Washington and to lay down pots of gold as guarantee for said reporters' discretion. And these few were kept for a month prisoners in a camp at the rear and allowed to send out only stories of goats and lizards. Why, of that expedition the best story is still unknown—the story of how a Negro sergeant took ten wounded men from a train wreck for I don't know how many miles on a handcar. Considered as a mere physical performance, the feat is a remarkable one. Have you ever pumped a handcar all alone? But this was in a desert, along a rudimentary railroad of steep grades. And the car was not empty, but bore ten wounded men. Besides pumping the car along, this Negro trooper cared for the wounded, and once he had to stop and bury one of them. Well, the reporters were never allowed to send that story out. The censorship decided that it was not a good story for the people of the United States to know. Gee, I do hate all censorship! COMPETITORS. Times were when one's competitor was looked upon as an arch fiend, snatching business from our very grasp by some foul means and literally taking the bread right from our mouths. But in the new order of business the word "competitor" as a term of reproach is rapidly going into disuse. Now competitors are simply men in the same line of business and per haps with the same high ideals that we have. They serve a most useful purpose in the business world keeping us keyed up to our best. We may not wholly approve of our competitor's methods; we may frequently dislike him most heartily, but we cannot get away from the fact that competitors prevent us from running to seed; keep us on our toes all the time. If for no other reason we should feel kindly disposed toward our competitors for what they do for us. The new order of things of being on a friendly basis with one's competitors is the right way. The modern feeling of co-operation which shows itself in so many business transactions is doing a world of good. It makes it possible for two agents, one of whom has lost a bunch of business, the other has gained, to sit down together at lunch and talk it over on a friendly basis and they are both better off for the experience.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP Patriotic American Wants to Donate an Airship WASHINGTON.—A patriotic, presumably foreign-born American, who wants to do his or her—the sex is not certain—part in promoting preparedness, has conceived the notion of building an airship as a contribution to the forces of defense and offense. The only trouble is about a motor, and the individual makes a formal request that the government contribute this essential part of his proposed flying machine. But it cannot be done, and the problem must be worked out in some other way by this person anxious to do a public service. The communication, asking for an aeroplane motor, is addressed: "To Assistant Secretary of Treasury Bryen D. C. " It comes by mail, postmarked from "Dear sir, "After sein the battle cry of peace tha an aptention of the war, and I decidet to m only thing that I need is the mother that I boy 21 year of age, and I never got no much Brotter with small salary.

Veterans of Spanish-American War in Congress NEARLY a company of soldiers who are veterans of the Spanish-American war of 1898 can be mustered in the two houses of congress. Most of these veterans were connected with volunteer regiments and the National Guard, and NEARLY a company of soldiers who are veterans of the Spanish-American war of 1898 can be mustered in the two houses of congress. Most of these veterans were connected with volunteer regiments and the National Guard, and their services during the Spanish war ranged from mobilization to actual battle, but they were more or less trained soldiers, and the majority of them are in fair shape for fighting today. Of course, some of the congressional veterans of the Spanish war are now fat and short-winded. It would take several months—maybe longer—to put them in condition, but they are veterans just the same, and have a knowledge superior to that of the "rookle" regarding military tactics and service.

Funny Echoes of the Big Preparedness Parade Funny Echoes of the Big Preparedness Parade THE squirrels and birds of all Washington picnicked in the capitol grounds the morning after the preparedness parade. The ocean of humanity that billowed over the green the day before left its flotsam and jetsam of peanut hulls and lunch bags, and—to judge by numbers—furred and feathered society from the most exclusive parks in town was among those present at the feast. And the parade itself was echoed in fine style by a swarm of small kiddies—most of them of the type that runs to curls and foreign eyes. In front of everything rode a boy on an umbrella handle—Major Pullman, if you please.

And another imitative touch, surprising in its realism, was provided by three boys—one beating a drum, one playing on a stick and the third with a rag around his head, waving a flag like mad. They had—somehow—caught something more than the tableau "Spirit of 76." New Designs for Our Halves, Quarters and Dimes New Designs for Our Halves, Quarters and Dimes UNCLE SAM is going to have some new styles in his coins, and next fall we are going to have dimes, quarters and half dollars of designs never before seen in the metal money of this country. It will be the first change which has been made in this minor silver since 1891. Secretary McAdoo seems to think that the half dollar has declined in popularity because it had not a pretty design. Secretary McAdoo has another guess coming. Nobody ever declined a half dollar that he could get a half hold of. Just the same, the design is going to be changed. The face of the new half dollar bears a full-length Liberty, with a background of the American flag flying to breeze. The goddess is striding to- ward the dawn of a new day, carrying laurel and military glory. The reverse side shows tain crag, wings unfolded. Growing from mountain pine, symbolic of America.

Moton, the new principal of Tuskegee institute, will carry on Booker T. Washington's great work in uplifting the Negro race, Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of Hampton institute and member of the General Education board, told the National Education association convention at New York. "Booker Washington's life was a distinct victory for the Negro race and for the ideas for which Hampton stands," said Doctor Frissell. "Washington carried from Hampton to Alabama a strong belief in the moral value of regular habits of industry. At the Tuskegee school Hampton ideas were reproduced. Throughout Washington's life he laid emphasis upon duties rather than upon rights. While he was sensitive to the injustices which his race suffers, he felt that the best preventive of injustice is improvement in physical, mental and moral conditions. Because of his real love for men, both white and black, and because he was able to render great and valuable service to both races, Doctor Washington exercised an influence second, perhaps, to that of no other man in this country. "Robert R. Moton, the new principal of Tuskegee, who was commandant at Hampton for many years, like Doctor Washington, spent part of his boyhood in an excellent Virginia home, where he learned to love white people and believe in their kindly disposition toward the blacks. This love and faith he has never lost. Booker T. Washington had certain noteworthy characteristics, possessed also by Robert Moton, in the production of which Hampton may at least claim a share—faith, love, modesty and service. "Washington and Moton, carrying out Hampton's idea of education for service, believed in the educational value of daily activities. Both preached the doctrine of training the hands, the head and the heart. --- A Negro bishop has been assigned to St. Louis by the African M. E. Zion church, which recently held its general conference at Louisville, Ky. Rt. Rev. L. W. Kyles of Winston-Salem, N. C., former editor of the Quarterly Review, has been elected to preside over the Missouri conference, which embraces Missouri, southern Illinois, Indiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and California. The growth of the denominational work of the Zion church in St. Louis during the last five years, under the leadership of Rev. B. G. Shaw, through the establishment of a social settlement in connection with the Metropolitan church, at Lucas and Garrison avenues, has placed St. Louis in the lead as a religious center. The educational secretary of the denomination, Prof. J. W. Martin, has been directed to transfer his headquarters to St. Louis. Professor Martin for the last ten years has been president of Atkinson college. He will have charge of 14 schools and colleges, valued at more than $800,000, and will annually dispense an educational fund of $50,000. Captain Morey says the colored troopers sang as they faced death at Carrizal. It will be remembered that the colored troops which helped to storm San Juan hill in the Spanish war went up into the rain of Spanish fire singing "The Star-Spangled Banner." This bravery and devotion ought to be held to the lasting credit of their race in the time to come.—Baltimore American. Public Service Commissioner Hayward of New York, who announced his intention of raising a Negro regiment for service in Mexico, if necessary, received scores of applications for membership. Four recruiting stations were opened, one on Lenox avenue, between One Hundred and Thirtieth and One Hundred and Fortieth streets; one in what is known as the San Juan hill district, one in Brooklyn, and a fourth in the suburbs. Colonel Hayward does not believe there will be much difficulty in getting the war department to permit Major Charles Young of the Tenth cavalry, now in Mexico, to take charge of the instruction of the new regiment. In Denmark the cost of living continues to advance. Considering the selling price of foodstuffs, textiles, metals, lumber, oils and labor as 100 in 1913, the index number last March was 182. It is not believed that the end of the war will result in great relief. A semicircular top for automobiles that drops down out of sight behind the seat when down in use has been patented by a Colorado inventor. A new tooth brush has a hollow head and can be connected with a rubber tube to an elevated reservoir for liquids to make it a fountain affair. For propelling a boat a Frenchman has invented paddle wheels which may be attached to any boat and revolved by a man pulling at oarlike handles. An asbestos pad to hold water for moistening stamps or envelope flaps that is fastened to the back of a person's hand has been patented Giant Fingers Bind Cities. The five giant spans of steel, which, like gargantuan fingers, clutch the two sides of East river, binding New York and Brooklyn together, cost America's metropolis half as much as the Panama canal cost the federal government. Three of them, says the National Geographic Magazine, are suspended from cables, the wires of which, if placed end to end, would more than twice wiggle the earth. If placed side by side, these five great structures would provide a roadway Rev. A. Eustace Day, rector of St. Paul's (colored) church, Atlanta, Ga., and head of St. Paul's Industrial school, met his death June 19 from heart failure, induced by overexertion while in the water at Fernandina Beach, Fla. For some months he had been suffering from the ill effects of overwork, and, on the advice of his bishop, was taking a vacation at Brunswick, Ga. He went on an excursion of the colored churches of Brunswick to Fernandina, went into the water, and was playing with the children, of whom he was very fond, when the cry nrose, "Father Day is drowning!" A life line was thrown out and he was brought ashore alive, but died almost immediately. For 12 years he has ministered to the congregation of St. Paul's church and conducted the school connected with the mission. The school has steadily grown until now it has 250 pupils and covers all the grammar grades, besides kindergarten, Industrial training, and commercial courses. He was greatly loved and respected by the people of his own race and stood high in the esteem of the bishop and white clergy of his diocese. The burial service was conducted by the bishop of Atlanta, assisted by Rev. J. J. N. Thompson, rector of St. Athanasius' (colored) church, Brunswick, Ga., in the A. M. E. church at Blackshear, Ga., Rev. Mr. Day's old home. His death is a severe loss to the colored work in the diocese of Atlanta. Fifty-two years a servant in one place is the record of Uncle Abe McClinney, who has waited on the dining table of the Judson Female college at Marion, Ala., ever since 1864. He is personally known and affectionately regarded by thousands of women all over the country who have attended that institution since the Civil War. The alumna of Judson recently donated enough to restore McClinney's home, which was destroyed by fire. Uncle Abe is an old Negro of war times. His record for the same job at the college is said to be the longest in the country. In Marion there are almost twenty antebellum Negroes, whose attachment and service of early life bound them until death in the esteem of the white race. None is better known and more highly esteemed than Uncle Abe. He is still on the job, which he says he will hold down until he dies. When Dr. O. L. Shivers was called by the trustees to Judson to take charge of the boarding department in an effort to keep the institution going when Alabama was prostrate from war, he carried Uncle Abe with him, and the old Negro has served through the succeeding many administrations. The Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and the District of Columbia (colored) closed its annual session in Washington, D. C., after having elected and installed John S. Jackson as grand chancellor; Alexander Henderson, vice grand chancellor; James F. Armstrong, grand prelate; W. W. Cochran, grand master of exchequer; J. Clay Smith, grand keeper of record and seal; P. W. Busey, grand master at arms; Charles Neal, grand marshal; Sr Campbell, grand lecturer; E. Murray, grand representative; S. E. Minor and Messrs. Cheatam and Wade, trustees. The Installation exercises were in charge of Past Grand Chancellor M. F. Johnson. All the fragmentary accounts so far received of the bloody fight between Mexican troops and American cavalrymen at Carrizal agree that the colored soldiers who were attacked by much larger numbers made a gallant defense. They inflicted heavy losses upon a far more powerful force, the Mexican general in command being one of the slain. The little band of troopers fought until they had suffered very heavy losses, in proportion to their number, and they did their full duty in a position which made success hopeless. This is not the first nor the tenth time that colored soldiers in the service of the United States have shown themselves hard fighters and brave men. In many actions, under widely different conditions, they have been tested and found equal to every reasonable demand. If ever war should come it will be safe to predict that the colored troops of the United States army will make good records and that they will abundantly wipe out the score they have to settle for the treacherous butchery of their comrades of the Tenth cavalry. Every time a widower looks at a spinster the gossips get busy. Russia's Caucasus district, with a population of more than 12,000,000, offers an excellent market for toilet soaps and perfumery, a consular report says. In the 15 years electric street railways in the United States have increased at a very nearly steady rate of about 3,000 miles a year. Discoveries of extensive deposits of limestone and silica in the Philippines have led to the formation of a company to manufacture cement there. as wide as the Washington monument is high, and if placed end to end they would make a great bridge over six miles long. Across the Brooklyn bridge alone 125,000 surface cars travel every 24 hours, with other vehicular traffic in proportion. Comparatively Modern. Many of the fruits and vegetables now eaten were almost unknown to our forefathers. Not until Henry VIII's time were raspberries, strawberries, or cherries grown in England. LINEN PERHAPS THE MOST SUIT ABLE OF ALL MATERIALS. Attractive Garments of This Stuff Are Being Freely Displayed and Find Ready Purchasers—Typical Suit Shown in Illustration. There is nothing more crisp and cool and wholly suitable for the summer tailleur than linen. The war, which has served as an excuse, legitimate or otherwise, for the boosting of prices, and against which has been charged a good deal of fabric shortage, has affected, to some extent, the linen supply, but it is difficult to believe that the shortage is serious when one views the attractive garments the shops are showing. Norfolk and other belted coats, as well as suits showing the flaring peplums and fitted or semifitted jackets, are developed in linen, and it is also found desirable for riding suits. The suit here illustrated is made of heavy white linen crash. The collar and cuffs are detachable and are made of black chiffon. The buttonholes are not worked in the usual way with thread, but are 999 Summer Tailleur of White Linen Crash. bound or piped with a thinner linen, and this treatment is found a very desirable one with most of the heavy suits or dresses of tub fabrics, as a buttonhole so finished gives much better service and keeps its shape better than when worked with thread. In making the coat of any linen suit it should have a lining extending below the shoulders, so as to strengthen and hold the garment in shape, and also to prevent any "pulling" where the sleeve fastens in. The suit illustrated has a circular skirt topped with a yoke that is cut four and a half inches deep front and back, and which points to a depth of six inches at the sides. A left side fastening is used, with invisible snap hooks securing the garment. The coat is 32 inches long at its front points, white below the waistline in the back the peplum measures 12 inches, a gradual upward slant being effected from front to back. The coat is finished all about its edge with a two-and-a-half-inch-wide bliss piece stitched on. To make the suit seven yards of linen, 36 inches wide, and five-eighths of a yard of satin for collar and cuffs, are required. The jacket has two generous slant-wise pockets. Among the attractive linen suits recently noted, one showed a skirt of natural color linen, accompanied by a cutaway coat of black and white checked linen. Another plain linen skirt was topped by a peasant blouse of Chippewaste print. For the Really Hot Days. That is what most people call the pretty blue and white printed cotton which are being displayed for summer use at cottages or at home. These lovely blue and white scurfs, squares and curtains surely look cool and clean for hot summer days. Did you know that you can have a linencheon set of this printed linen or crash? Funny blue storks appear in the corner of each napkin and along the edge of the runners. If you are wise you will buy an extra runner and turn it into an apron like the fudge To Wash Organdie. Organdite, which is very thin and sheer, does not need heavy starching, and it is perhaps better to do all the stiffening of this material with gum arable. Add two tablespoons of prepared gum arable water to a quart of lukewarm water and dip the organdite, after it has been dried, into this. Roll the garments into a tight roll and allow to get partly dry. Have ready an atomizer containing lukewarm water and with this atomize the outside of the roll, which will be drier than the inside. Iron the starched organdite on the wrong side as far as possible. Table Covers. Chintzes and French cretonnes come in charming colors and in odd conventional designs. When squares or runners of these materials are bound in heavy gold galloon, no smarter effect could be asked for. Strips and squares of heavy crash bound with linen of a plain color or with a linen border apron variety to match the luncheon or breakfast set. The family will not object to your sitting down to the table with this apron on. Some beautiful Japanese landscapes can be bought by the yard in this material. A valence of the landscape cotton tops blue muslin curtains bordered with the landscape again. A bit of the landscape may be framed in mahogany for a tray to use in the dining room in which the curtains appear. Scrin also comes printed with Japanese mountains, pine trees and clouds. Centerpieces and dollles of it are fringed around the edge and a heavy double line worked in satin stitch in black is used to keep it from fraying farther. Duties of Maid of Honor. The duties of the maid or matron of honor consists in taking and holding the bride's bouquet when the ring is being put on her finger and while the prayers are said, and if the bride wears her veil down over her face, the honor-attendant must raise it for her at the given time. She stands at the rear of the bride, where she can take the bouquet and hand it back with ease. The best man's duties consist principally in keeping the wedding ring until the moment when the minister asks for it, when the best man hands it to the bridegroom, who in turn hands it to the minister. It is his duty, also, to make all arrangements for the wedding journey, after consulting with the bridegroom, buying the railroad tickets, engaging rooms at a hotel, etc. These are the principal points of the ceremony etiquette and are followed alike by the wealthy and those who are but comfortably well off. The question of expenses remains the same, even when the girl is poor, although she may dispense with attendants and reception. With Needle and Thread. You would not expect to find a description of cottage mailboxes on a needlework page, but that is just exactly where these newest boxes belong, for they are made with needle and thread. They are made of heavy cardboard or a light wood, like that of cigar boxes, and covered with cretone to match the hangings in the living hall or dining room. A disk of the board is first covered with cretone. To this is joined with a puffing of cretone a smaller disk inclosing a bit of mica upon which the words "Outgoing Mail" or "Incoming Mail" are lettered. Now this should be enough of a suggestion for any number of cute holders for the mail as it arrives or is ready for the post. Cigar boxes may form the foundation of these wall pockets, which can be made as capacious as one likes, and may be covered with bits of the hangings, or with the wallpaper, or even painted in bright shining colors. Most Useful Wall Pocket. Much time may be saved that would otherwise be spent hunting the combs, hair, hand and tooth brushes, nail slippers, hair pins, box of powder, powder puff, sponge, a lead penell, razor, scissors, curling iron and a great 24 INCHES 10 INCHES many other things that are used almost every day in the home by making a wall pocket like the drawing, writes Mrs. Ells Crowley in Farm Progress. Take a piece of oilcloth—I used white and bound edges with red tape—it's 18 by 24 inches. Pockets are cut to size desired and bound with the tape around edges, then sewed on. I have mine over the washstand and a small looking glass hung above. It's a very handy article. Vevet Ribbon. Velvet ribbon, which has not been used to any extent on dresses for some years past, is evidently coming into its own again. One of the newest models is an afternoon frock of tuffeta trimmed with vertical bands of narrow velvet ribbon, placed both on bodice and skirt in graduated lengths. The skirt was very full and hung in four deep points, the velvet ribbon being zigzagged accordingly. The waist, which was cut surplice effect and formed a pointed bodice in front, was trimmed with strips of the velvet ribbon in such a way as to give the effect of a doublepointed girdle. A graduated flounce carried out the popular cape effect. The frock was a soft grayish beige in color, the velvet ribbon a delicate pastel blue. buttonholed on are practical and good-looking for camp or bungnlow verandas, The blue and white Japanese toweling is fresh looking and equally serviceable for summer table covers. The blue and white or red and white barred linen towelling, when finished with a white cotton fringe, makes smart covers for wicker tables when out of door teas and lunches are served. Beauty Helps. The complexion brush should be used on the neck once a day. A soap may be used or a meal. A cleaning cream should be massaged into the skin on retiring and before going into the open for sun exposure. A good liquid that acts also as a cleansing agent and a stringent and gentle bleach should be daily applied. The entire surface of the neck should be covered, going around the hair line and back of the ears, rounding out the treatment so that it will include any collar style. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLER, Acting Director of Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR JULY 23 LESSON TEXT—Acts 18:1-12 GOLDEN GOLDEN, pot-hot frad, but unless pot-hot frad—Acts 18:1-12 GOLDEN TEXT-Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace. Acts 18:9. 1. Paul's Companions. (vv. 1-6) Paul's coming to this city after his experiences in Athens is significant when we read I Cor. 2:1. 2. He found a home as usual at first among his Jewish countrymen. Aquila and Priscilla were not only fellow Christians but fellow craftsmen (v. 3). Paul supported himself, as Jesus did for 80 years, as a carpenter. This gave opportunity to reach the people naturally as one of them. At the same time he set them the example of doing good (I Cor. 10:31; I Cor. 9:6-12; II Thess. 2:9). Paul did not think it a lack of faith to do manual labor or secular work for his own support because God had called him to preach. In the midst of his labors (v. 5) Silas and Timothy came to him from Philippi and Berena. The Phillipians had sent him aid and brought news of the abundant harvest of faith and love in that church. Paul was weak and sick and dejected in spirit (II Cor. 2:3), probably bodily sickness. He was also in want (II Cor. 11:9). As he meditated on the word, it had so got hold on him that he could not keep still. It overpowered him with the thought that Jesus was the Christ and that he must tell it out, but the Jews were not willing to receive his testimony. "They opposed themselves and blasphemed," (v. 6). The good news these helpers brought encouraged him in his conflict (v. 6). II. Paul's Compulsion. (vv. 7-11). The opposition of the Jews did not prove his testimony to be untrue or that it had been unwisely presented, but rather it revealed the iniquity of the hearts of the men who were the religious leaders. To their friends Paul could exclaim, "I am clean," (v. 6). It is a great thing for any man to be able to say this, and it is the privilege of every believer (Acts 20:26). Then we can say with Paul: "I shrank not from declaring unto you the whole counsel of God." (R. V.) If we do not declare unto men the way of life, then their blood is upon us (Ezekiel 33:4. 8), but are we indeed clean of the blood of all in our own homes, in our churches, in our Sunday school classes, in our communities and in the lands beyond the sea? This compulsion disconnected Paul from the false religionists of his day. "From henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles." The advantage of the house of Justus was (a) that the owner was a proselyte, not a born Jew. (b) The place was close to the synagogue so that his preaching would be a standing invitation to the Jews, and (c) Justus was evidently a Roman citizen, and Paul would gain access through him to the more educated people of the city. Moreover he would have greater advantage of the Romans than of the Jews, for protection of the Christian converts. We do not infer that he left his lodgings in the home of Aquila and Priscilla nor ceased his work of tent making. At this critical time there came to Paul another one of those visions which mark the course of his development (v. 9), in which God spoke to him words of encouragement and exhortation not to hold his peace (v. 19). God is ready to speak to us, but we do not need visions as Paul did, for we have the revealed word which we can carry around in the vest pocket, and have him speak to us whenever we will. Quite likely Paul was discouraged at the seeming impossibility of making an impression upon this great city of 400,000 inhabitants. He realized the magnitude of the struggle (Eph. 6:12). "We wrestle not against flesh." Nowhere had the Gospel been brought face to face with such world-liness nor had assigned to it a more difficult task than in this city. Perhaps Paul's scant success in Athens was to prepare him for this task, because our disappointments and apparent failures are sometimes the very experiences by which we are enabled both to glorify God and to bless humanity. Paul's testimony after Athens was based only on the cross (I Cor. 2:1, 2) and it was that which turned "impure, sinful souls into pure brides whom he conducted to Christ," (See I Cor. 6:3-91). This vision kept Paul in the city where he founded one of his strongest classes (vv. 11, 18). III. Paul's Contest, (vv. 12-17). Gallio, the brother of Seneca, listened to the charges, but threw the accusations out of court (vv. 14, 15). Sir William Ramsey calls this decision the "charter of Christian freedom." Freedom of religious speech was granted over the entire Roman empire so far as Roman authorities were concerned, and the door was open for Paul to make his way throughout the civilized world. Thus we have further evidence that all of Corinth was no match for Christ. The Lord had people there who must be called by the spoken word, and Paul was the one to speak the word. The Lord only allows us to be hurt when both we and the work can be helped thereby. He never really allows us to be hurt (Rom. 8:13; Isaiah 54:17). Christian workers in this land are confronting the same Corinthian evils in every great city; intemperance, crime, graft, dishonesty, white slavery, oppression of the poor and other works of the flesh. It is the business of every preacher and Christian to pray and teach and work and live to save men from these evils and to convert them to righteousness. There are also Corinthian evils in the heart, and in order to overcome them we must put on the whole armor of God, and be filled with the Spirit of Christ.

Fifty Years of Masonry Chapter 42. “The Masonic Home being focated at Hannibal was only one of the many reasons which the brethren found for /uolding the forty-ninth annual com- ‘munfeation in that thriving little city. The Colored people of Hannibal, among whom the Masonic fraternity {s 4 strong motive force, have always been of & highly progressive dispos!- tion, ‘They early formed the habit o home owning and several of them have gone still further and acquired ‘much additional property. This dispo sition is very easily traced to the ex- ample aswell as the precept of Broth er J. H. Pelham, Past (irand Master, who for many years, a8 we have said. was a controling spirit in that com munity and whose intelligence and thrift were of such hich order as to yield a lasting influence upon the peo- ‘ple who so long gave him their un swerving confidence. ‘This meeting marked the close of a brilliant year in Masonry. All the de- partments were free frm debt, all ‘endowment claims were met and there was a surplus in the financial re. sources. Gand Master Crews had put into activity all his hitherto unreveal. ed resources and had more than equal ed the exacting conditions which faced him. Brother George W. K, Love as Grand Secretary had become a virtua’ master in his duties and our printed proceedings furnished a model for al | Negro organizations, Past Grand Master R. T. Coles was writing the reports upon foreign cor respondence and was in his capacit fully sustaining the high reputatior | of his Grand Lodge, | % d ee > weg tam Ps : Ee g <, ae TOR ECHERAIFORD. The personnel of the membership, | too, had developed along with other | [phases of the organization. No man | of any ambition, prominence or worth | in the state was content to live out | side the Masonic craft and this always | brought the best to the top and made | the Grand Lodge a symposium of the | highest christian manhood of the com: |monwealth, So it was at Hannibal |when the convention opened in Aug- just, 1915, and revealed the largest at tendance in the history of the frater nity in Missouri, For the first time Jin our annals the Knights Templar, under the inspiration of Sir Willis G | Mosely, R. E. G.C,, held a regular milk tary encampment during the whole | week and as most of the Knights were also past masters it added greatly to | the working force of the body. | _ Six past grand masters were pres ent and there were perhaps a score |of members wo had not missed a ses |sion during a quarter century as well |as a lesser number who boasted of | from thirty to forty years active serv ice, It was a great coming together. | Bven the sisters of the Eastern Star and the Heroines of Jericho, respond jing to an invitation issued by the | Grand Master, came up in considerable ee and at a convenient period '| during the session were formally pre || sented and welcomed by the Grand Lodge, thus fittingly iMlustrating the ‘|fine spirit of co-operation between |the main and auxiliary branches of the cult and presenting a better front agatash the great wort ot charity and | Dassrolagase ba: vada | ‘The Grand Master, true to his in stinets of affection for his peopl L| generally, had appointed a committee whose duty it should be to make up « report upon the condition of the racc asa whole, Prominent upon this com | mittee were Brothers George 1 | Vaughn of St. Louis ond 7. W.

VENTION. Kansas City, Mo.—With the secur- ing of the big Convention Hall and Auditorium the citizens of this city passed their first mile stone in pre- paring for the visitors of the Great National Baptist Convention that is to be held here September 6-12, in- clusive. ‘This feat was accomplished by the committee of three, consist: ing of Drs. Hurst, Williams and Beckham, who are representing the general committee in charge of the entertainment of the entire delega- tlon. Simultaneous to the securing of this Conyention Hall, news came from Vicksburg, Miss., that the exec- utive committee of the Congress in session there had chosen its delegates for the coming big gathering. A program covering six days of constructive work has been made, which is argued there as guaranteeing an unusually interesting _ session. ‘The Committee on Homes has been at work for some time making as: signments. ‘The citzens of the city, regardless of denominations, have joined hands to help Kansas City entertain her guest, the first week in September. ‘The Baptist. Ministers’ Alliance took action some time ago, whereby the securing of the big city Conven tion Hall and other places were heart fly endorsed. | It is safely Gstimated by President Jones of the National Baptist Con vention that over five thousand Bap tists will invade Kansas City during the week of the Conyention. DELEGATES AND VISITORS TO KANSAS CITY TAKE NOTICE. ‘Those contemplating attending the National Baptist Convention sessions to be held in Kansas City, Mo., Sep. tember 6-12, will please send their names and addresses in at once to the Committee on Homes, 800 Inde- pendence avenue, Kansas City, Mo, Please do not delay because the com: mittee is busy now at work making arrangements for stopping places. ‘They want to be sure that the large delegation thatis going to be present in Kansas City has accommodations that it justly deserves, For any fur. ther information regarding the ac commodations of the National Con: vention delegates, please address the general committee.

EDITORIALS, Good morning. Always be polite and obliging, It pays. What's come of the “Birth of the Nation?” Have they petered out? The Republican party is not only the party for the Negro, but it is the party for the protection of the Ameri can people. A Colored brother in a prayer the other night said, “Lawd, Lawd, make | the crops bountiful and de fruit plen- tiful, and be sho’, Lawd, and give us ‘plenty of watermillion.” Well, they say we ought to pray for what we want. The love of the Negro for the flag that does not protect him, the loyalty of the Negro to a President, who has done more to disgrace him than any other agency, will make a place for him in some history, if not American, as being a criterion for all racial self- denial, ‘The New York Age says that Gov- ernor Whitman has asked the War Department to assign Major Charles Young, the only graduate from West Point in the service, to the command ‘of the Negro regiment now being raised in New York for duty on the border between the United States and Mex'co. Major Young is now in eommang of the Second battalion of oy ‘Tenth Cavalry and is stationed the trouble zone. ‘ ‘THIS 18 A REPUBLICAN YEAR.

Advance applications indicate an in- crease of fifty per cent in attendance at Camp Inspiration this year. As Tuesday, July 25th, the date, draws near we find also a number of boys who would be benefitted by the con- tact in the camp, financially unable to go. It is hoped that there will be enough men with the “Big Brother” spirit to come forward and assist these worthy boys. One big hearted gentle. man last year donated the camp fees for five boys. To accommodate the additional men who are now taking the physical work another class has been opened three days a week, Mondays, Wednes: days and Fridays, 2:15 p, m. These three additional classes make a total of eight classes a week for the men. At the present rate of increase the attendance for physical work will soon reach one hundred daily. The largest summer enrollment of any Colored Association in the country. The Noon- day Business Men's Class made appli- cation to the park board this week for permission to play volley-ball on the Parade tennis courts. The re: quest was granted.

"The idea!" flashed out dainty and petite Grace. She ruffled at the thought of any swain, foresworn or prospective, daring to place her in such a predicament, and Paul Leslie was pronounced of the former class. They were not engaged, but of all the eligible young men of the village he had the most fully attracted her. Paul had admired her from the first day he had seen her, and had told her so. More recently he had insisted that they were made for one another, and that he was gathering up the evidence to prove it to her! She liked his bright breezy ways. Grace was on a two months' visit to her cousin, Norma Ellis. The prescribed period had nearly passed. That evening there was a party at a villa two miles away. Paul had promised to call for her at seven o'clock. She preferred to go on foot, she had told him. Now she sat on the porch awaiting the arrival of her expected escort. The clock inside the house struck seven, then the quarter. Grace began to grow impatient. Half past. A dainty foot began to tap the porch floor faster and faster. She darted a look town-ward full of real temper. She sprang to her feet quite angrily as the clock announced that Paul Leslie was forty-five minutes late. "How dare he!" she flared out. "Oh! I could almost scratch him!" Then she jumped back into her seat, affecting in her pose the utmost indifference to everything in the world save the most intense enjoyment of rest and the soft perfumed evening air. She had seen a white-garbed masculine form coming down the road. "At last, my belated gavailer," she tried to say viciously. "I shall be marble—and ice—quite!" Footsteps crunched on the gravel walk. Her head was turned and she gave no token of recognition or inter- walters "How Dare He!" She Flared Out. est. The footsteps sounded on the steps, and then—" "My dear Miss Rogers—I am indeed unfortunate!" A vivid revulsion passed through her frame. Instantly, she recognized the unwelcome voice. It was not that of Paul Leslie. It was that of his antithesis, Bryce Willard. If there was one among her numerous suitors whom Grace despised it was this overfastidious, self-conceited individual. He was a man of wealth and leisure. It had come to her ears that he had boasted the "Miss Rogers was the nearest to his ideal of a lovely girl and he had half a mind to settle down and marry her." But this intelligence was rapid. He had a suit of clothes for each day in the week—on the present occasion two, for he wore an outing garb of immaculate white, even to the cap, gloves and shoes. "I was on my lonely way to the function," he observed, coming nearer. "I made out someone on the porch. May I hope that I will have the company of a good angel for the rest of my route?" "You may," spoke Grace, promptly and deliberately, thinking to herself that her frame of mind at the present moment was very far from being angelic. Here was her opportunity to teach "that presumptuous Paul Leslie" a severe lesson! That he would arrive later, profuse with excuses, she doubted not. He should find her gone, with another, and all that evening Willard should be at her side, while Paul—she would freeze him with a look! "You see, I don't know the exact way to the Walthams," explained Willard, as they started down the steps. "Neither do I," said Grace, and she quite hurried him for fear that Paul would put in an appearance before they got started. "And it's deucedly dark, no moon." proceeded Willard, as if announcing an individual and particular discovery. "I know it's two miles. We can hardly miss it." He rattled on in his empty-brained way and Grace tried to keep up the conversation. Half an hour later they found they had wandered off from the regular road and came up against a barbed wire fence, the road having faded away into a mere footpath. "I declare, I believe we are lost!" remarked Willard. Grace was getting nervous. She suggested that they retrace their steps. They regained the road, branched off into another one and halted again at a crossroads. "I know that we follow the Hubbard road," said Willard, "but which is it? Ah, there is a telegraph pole with a sign on it." The same was in clear evidence, but, standing even only ten feet away from it, neither could make out the lettering on the sign. "I'll have to climb up and see if I can make it out at closer sight," observed Willard. "I'm something of a climber, Miss Rogers, believe me! At the field sports last year I won in the greased pole climb, so this fifteen or twenty-foot stunt is nothing to me. Pardon, for a moment." Showily the vaunted athlete ascended the pole. Grace, waiting below, watched him reach the sign. A certain growl of disgust echoed on the still air. Mr. Willard came sliding back to terra frma. "It reads 'Fresh Paint,'" he anounced. "Ah, you seem amused?" Grace was, indeed. She leaned against a convenient tree stump and laughed. She could not help it. Her merriment rang out in free-rushing volume. Her escort was a sight! Gloves, garb, face, he was mottled, daubed, striped and spotted. The black paint plastered him, stuck to him. "I-I had better see you safely in sight of the scene of the function of the evening," announced Willard, solemnly, "and find my way back home by sequestered paths." He indulged in no further conversation. His dignity was offended at "the hoydenish merriment" of his companion. By accident they reached the road. They came in sight of a lighted house. The sound of running footsteps sounded behind them. "You will be safe the rest of the distance," spoke Willard. "I do not care to be observed," and vanished in among the shrubbery lining the road. "Miss Rogers, Grace!" spoke a breathless voice, and it was Paul Leslie. "Ran all the way. Hoped to overtake you. Who was the ghastly figure that just left you?" Grace drew back with hauteur. The quick-witted Paul noted it. "Angry at me for being late?" he questioned in his jolly off-handed way "You won't be. You see, I was at the jewelers'. The question was: Should I have the inscription read 'P. L. to G. R.' or 'Paul to Grace,'" "What are you talking about?" questioned Grace, but her tones softened for she half suspected the issue at stake. "Inscription on the engagement ring," airily explained Paul. "Was going to lead up to it in our walk. Have to bulk it all in a minute now. Must know my fate tonight, now. Resolved upon it. 'Yes,' and you take the ring 'No,' and I fly abroad—war, battles grave in the trenches, broken heart." He hold out the tiny circle. He was questioning and enduring. "You old persevering mortal," whispered Grace sweetly—Yes! New England Chestnut Doomed. Our native chestnut tree, for all its long tenure of our hills and pastures, is officially reported as facing complete extinction. "Cut at once and market quickly," is the state forester's advice. Unlike moth and borer, the bacterial blight that is killing the chestnut trees attacks with an infection as subtle as the breath of a pestle. The disease is working across the state from west to east, as if with the prevailing winds. It has already overrun five counties and has established centers through the rest. As one in every six of our timber trees is a chestnut, the commercial loss in many areas will be severe. No more farmers will send their boys and girls to college, winter by winter, from the sale of ties and planks and posts from the rapidly growing stands of straight chestnut. But the sentimental loss will entail even more regret. The chestnut tree, like its close cousin, the beech and the oak, has made its own place in our rugged New England life. It enters our stories and poems and froside talks as olive and palm enter the legends and songs of the Mediterranean. Its furrowed bark and open branching accord with our scenery and climate as the durability and bold figure of its wood accord with the old-style virtues of New Englanders themselves.—Boston Herald. How They Save. Every 15 minutes somebody walks into one of our four large savings banks and opens a new account. That has been going on for weeks, months and years, until now there are over 401,000 different accounts. The average amount of money kept in bank by each depositor is only a little less than $500. Our thrifty folk have the saving habit. Every minute of every day they ask aside $25 to put in the savings banks. That may seem a small sum until you multiply the minutes into hours, the hours into days, days into months and months into a year. Then you have a tidy total of $11,000,000, which is $2,000,000 more than it cost to run the whole United States government the year Washington captured Cornwallis.—Girard, in the Philadelphia Ledger. Patheoul Math Preventiv Patchouli Moth Preventive. For the many moth dislike the smell of moth balls and all the brands of camphor and tar products used to keep away moths the fragment dried roots of the patchouli appeal as a desirable substitute.' In Porto Rico the natives bring the patchouli to town in small bundles, retailing them at from two to five cents each. Great quantities of it grow wild in that country and a demand for it from the States would afford employment to many poor persons in the country. At one time patchouli was in great favor as a perfume, coming chiefly from India and the far East in the shape of the essential oil extracted from the roots of the Pogostemon patchouli. Horrors of Love. Be careful not to fall in love. According to an Italian medical fourth researchs have been made on the blood of people in love, and marked leucocytosis has been found. If the disease is not speedily cured, love may lead to neurasthenia and even insanity. Sometimes it even results in marriage.—Boston Globe. WAR CAUSES NEW IMMIGRATION PROBLEM ISTER COMMISH, 'scuse me. When you tink? Dr. Frederick C. Howe, commissioner of immigration, was greeted in this manner at least a dozen times while showing a visitor through the detention ward at Ellis island. The commissioner listened patiently first to one and then another, giving each a kindly answer, says a writer in the New York Herald. Among those who addressed him were an elderly Italian woman, who talked with a gesture expressive of the hopelessness with which she regarded her case; a young French woman, petite and earnest looking, who, when asked if she could cook, answered, "Tres bien," and a young Russian Jew, who during a previous stay in this country served in Sing Sing and is a member of the Welfare league. "They all want to get away," said Mr. Howe. "We are doing everything possible to make it more comfortable and homelike around here. We have removed many restrictions which heretofore existed, on the theory that the more freedom they have the more orderly they are inclined to conduct themselves. "But with all this there is bound to be a feeling among those who are detained, for one reason or another, against their will that they are imprisoned. In later years, however, some of them, I am sure, whether they are admitted to the country or are sent back to their native land, will look back on their stay at Ellis Island as an incident in their lives that was not altogether unpleasant." Most of the aliens now detained on the island have been there since the European war broke out. In all there were some 500 Germans, Hungarians, Poles, Russians and others being detained when Doctor Howe first took up his duties as commissioner of immigration, the majority of whom had been ordered deported because of the violation of the immigration statutes. They were men, women and children—peasants for the most part—from small towns and villages of Europe. Before the order of deportation could be carried out the steamship companies which had brought most of these people over were forced to withdraw their vessels from service on account of hlm were an elderly Italian woman, who talked with a gesture expressive of the hopelessness with which she regarded her case; a young French woman, petite and earnest looking, who, when asked if she could cook, answered, "Tres bien," and a young Russian Jew, who during a previous stay in this country served in Sing Sing and is a member of the Welfare league.

In all there were some 500 Germans, Hungarians, Poles, Russians and others being detained when Doctor Howe first took up his duties as commissioner of immigration, the majority of whom had been ordered deported because of the vigilance of the immigration statutes. They were men, women and children—peasants for the most part—from small towns and villages of Europe. Before the order of deportation could be carried out the steamship companies which had brought most of these people over were forced to withdraw their vessels from service on account of DOMERANCE IN THE 'BULL RUN' T tion ward, which he frequently does, there are always many questions to answer and heartaches to soothe. Late one afternoon last October Doctor Howe, while going around the station on one of these tours of investigation, noticed a middle-aged woman, of neat, motherly appearance, with two pretty little girls cuddling up to her, sitting in the detention room. As the hour was late and he thought they were visitors Doctor Howe inquired what they were waiting for and if he could do anything for them. The woman explained that she was British and with her children had been ordered deported. They had arrived from Great Britain about a month before, but had no friends in this country and no money and, therefore, had not been allowed to enter. The healthy appearance of the two children, their pretty faces and their evident good breeding won over the commissioner on the spot, and he immediately interested himself in their case. The woman's name was Mrs. Rita Horner, and her story was this: "When the war broke out she was living with her family, which, besides her husband, consisted of two sons and three daughters, on a dairy farm some miles out of Capetown, South Africa. The country about them was rugged and wild and the girls, despite their young years, were forced to walk many miles every day to attend school. The sons, who were older, helped to work the farm. "The husband and the two boys, along with most of the able-bodied men in that section, enlisted in the British army soon after war was declared and were sent to the front. They took part in the fighting in Belgium and northern France. One son was killed and the father seriously wounded. All trace of the other son had been lost. Mrs. Horner was unable to work the farm by herself, so she raised what money she could and went to England with her three daughters—Una, fifteen years; Pirl ten years old, and Rita, nine years old. They had not been in England long when Mrs. Horner decided to come to America." On hearing Mrs. Horner's story Doctor Howe communicated with the authorities at Washington. He explained that these people were all strong and healthy, that the children were beautiful and that there was no danger of them becoming a public charge. Furthermore, he announced his willingness to be responsible for them, and a few days after the machinery had been set in motion word came back from Washington that Mrs. Horner and her children would be released in his custody. Meantime the family had made friends with nearly everybody on the island. The watchman and guards petted the children and gave them many little presents. The attendants did all they could to make them comfortable. tion ward, which he frequently does, there are always many questions to answer and heartaches to soothe.

The attendants did all they could to make them comfortable. Despite these attentions the children sometimes hours, with extra pay for extra time, is the custom in this part of the country. Our maids are almost all the children of the original Mexican settlers of this section. Owing to the Latin-American standards of chaparronage, even the peon families greatly prefer the daughters are in their own homes at night. Fully two-thirds of the Mexican maids live at home. A very common arrangement is work from 7 a. m. to noon weekdays, 8 to 11 a. m. Sundays, the usual wage $2.50; or the maid may remain till 2 p. m. The government is doing much to help those detained at the Ellis Island Station during conflict-Commissioner Howe's efforts bearing fruit M the war, and consequently those to whom admission to the country had been denied were forced to remain on Ellis island. Some of them have since been admitted to the country, either conditionally or unconditionally. The problem of making life a little more pleasant for those who remain is one which Doctor Howe has tried in a practical way to solve. He has come to know most of the unfortunate persons under his jurisdiction personally, and when he visits the deten- HOUSEHOLD WORK IN MEXICO Women of the Country Are Poor Cooks but Excellent Housework- ers, Says Writer. In the Woman's Home Companion a writer says: "Miss Tarbell's article in the F ebruary Companion on 'The Household Boycott' is especially interesting to New Mexico readers, because the plan she suggests, l. e., workers to live at home and to work certain definite IMMIGRANTS ARRIVING IN NEW YORK RELATIVES TAKE CHARGE OF THEM IMMIGRANTS IN THE "BULL PEN" would act as if lonesome. Noticing this Doctor Howe one day asked the reason. "We are not lonely for people, but lonely for animals," they answered. In South Africa one of their principal pastimes had been to trek through the woods with their dogs. The Horners remained at Ellis island for several weeks after they had been admitted to the country; then Doctor Howe took them up to a summer home he has in the woods in Westchester, country. There they have lived all winter, enjoying life in the open country, especially when snow was on the ground and the deer tracks could be followed through the woods. The two younger girls possess a knowledge of woodcraft which Doctor Howe says is really amazing, and they have no fear of getting lost in the woods. They walk for miles in which ever direction their fancy takes them, always finding their way back home by the same sort of instinct as that by which an Indian is guided. The interest shown by Doctor Howe in this particular case was in keeping with his general policy of so administering the affairs of Ellis island that those who come to this country from other lands with the intention of making a new home for themselves will be treated with as much kindness and consideration as the enforcement of the exclusion laws permits. The enforcement of these laws is bound to cause many hardships and disappointments, but Ellis island is no longer a place to be dreaded. It is clean, wholesome and comfortable. The walls of the registry room, where the incoming aliens receive their first impressions of America, are no longer bare and forbidding. They have been draped with American flags and hung with portraits of the presidents and pictures of important events in American history. Palms and other growing plants have been placed around the room. Photographs illustrative of the natural beauties and resources of America, procured from the various government departments at Washington, have been placed in the detention room and around the corridors. Every Sunday afternoon a concert is given in the registry room, the music being furnished by some one of the organizations of foreign-born persons in and about New York city which have volunteered to furnish such entertainment. A moving picture outfit has also been provided by another group of interested persons, and receptions are given every Thursday night. These entertainments have done much to brighten the lives of those who have been detained on the island for months. Last summer to relieve the situation playgrounds were opened on the island, and mothers and children were permitted to play on the lawns.

I attribute this to the system." women have been given instruction in sewing and provided with material to make clothes for themselves and children. A school has been temporarily opened to teach the children, and the New York city public library authorities have donated a number of books printed in German and other foreign languages for the use of those who have a desire to read. The men and women are permitted to mingle more freely in the various detention wards, and as a result of these innovations the feeling which prevails among those who have been long detained at the station is more cheerful than it was during the first few months of the war. Attempts to escape, which were frequent at one time, have come to an end. "Ellis island is the greatest portal in the world," said Doctor Howe. "There never has been any portal like it for human beings. In normal times nearly a million persons enter the country through it each year. They come largely from countries where the government means only militarism and taxes; they come to escape the feudal landlord, from industrial and social conditions which have become intolerable. They come with hopes of a fresh life, of a fresh chance, of opportunities for themselves and their children. They carry with them the visions of America which have been indelibly printed upon their minds from the letters which have gone back to Europe from friends and relatives already in this country. "And the immigration laws of America have, in effect, if not in so many words, said that America welcomed those who did not fall within the excluded classes, those afflicted by disease or who are likely to become a charge upon the community. It held out an invitation to the strong and able-bodied to come and share in the making of a new nation, free from abuses and oppressions of the old world." "And of those who come over 98 per cent are admitted. The rest are rejected because they fall within the inhibited classes. And it seemed to me when I became commissioner of immigration that the first contact of the alien with America should be one that would impress upon his mind the thing for which America stands; that the treatment they should receive, the experiences they should pass through and the contact they had with officials wearing the uniform of the United States should be those of kindness, assistance and courtesy. They come for the most part with fear in their hearts; they fear government rather than love it. And their instinct is to expect something very like what they received at home. "First impressions are lasting, and it has been our effort at Ellis Island to make these impressions as democratic as possible, and to aid in as many ways as we could in protecting the immigrant and assisting him to his final destination. For the immigrant is imposed on; he is exploited. To prevent this as much as possible offices have been opened in New York city, one at the Barge office, at South Ferry, and the other at 240 East Seventy-ninth street, to which the immigrant can go and procure aid, assistance and advice about matters that concern him. Through these offices he is directed to schools and to the naturalization offices. The offices co-operate with the police department and with all the many agencies in New York which have been created to aid the immigrant. At these offices there are employment agencies which find work for men and women, and which aim to distribute them to farming positions to relieve the congestion in the cities. "Similar protection has been accorded the alien in transit to the West, in securing the best transportation facilities and otherwise relieving the immigrant from the dangers which beset him while reaching his ultimate destination. "War conditions brought probably 500 men, women and children to Ellis island who for some reason or other had to go back to their native und; they were not admissible to the country. Each of these cases has been investigated personally, their friends and relatives have been looked up, and in the great majority of cases they have been admitted on bond to some person willing to be responsible for them. Positions have been found for hundreds, from whom periodic reports are required as to how they are getting along. Only in very rare cases have they failed to make good. In many instances they have risen rapidly and are now earning very substantial salaries. "Similar efforts are being made to promote educational advantages for the adult immigrant—to encourage night schools. For the last year the names of all children of school age have been copied and sent to the superintendents of education all over the country, in order that they might immediately place children in school upon their arrival at their destination. By these means the government comes in immediate contact with the second generation of immigrants and begins its assimilation process as soon as they reach this country." "I can't understand why those two lawyers call it a deed of trust." "Why not?" "From the care with which they are drawing it up it is quite evident that they don't trust each other." Destroying a Foundation. "Suppose we leave the dancing out of our next musical show," suggested one manager. "If we do," replied the other, "it won't have a leg to stand on." HOME TOWN HELPS GUARD THE WATER SUPPLY Subject That Is of Immense Importance in Every Home in the Country. Subject That Is of Immense Importance in Every Home in the Country. In thousands of farm homes it is now possible to find up-to-date water systems, providing both hot and cold water for the bathroom, the laundry the kitchen sink, and various other parts of the house and barn. When a water system is once installed the farmer and his family use ally wonder how they ever managed to get along without it before, and seldom regret the cost. Yet, in spite of the comparative ease with which the average farm home can be equipped with many of these conveni A Well Properly Protected From Surface Water. Brick Laid in Cement and Backed Up With Puddled Clay Makes a Practically Impervious Gasing. fences, how often do we find the country household still depending upon the distant spring, the open well, or at best the out-of-doors lift pump to supply the hundreds of tons of water required for each household every year? Inquiry usually develops the fact that the old methods are still retained for one or the other of the following reasons, namely: The cost of sewer systems is assumed to be prohibitive, or else the possibilities of fully utilizing the existing water supply have never been carefully explained and brought to the farmers' notice. A well can be protected from pollution by extending the tight casing or lining six or eight inches above the ground and covering with a water-tight concrete curb having a slope away from the center in every direction. This cover should extend at least one foot beyond the edge of a dug well, and should never be less than seven feet in diameter for a driven well. A drain trough should of course, be provided to catch the drip and convey it away to a safe dis Sand-Box Filter for Cistern. All Water Entering the Cistern Must Pass Through the Filter. The Sand Can Easily Be Removed and Replaced With Clean Sand. tance. An open drain passing around the well at a distance of four or five feet from this curb and leading off to the drip drain tile will help prevent the entrance of surface waters that wash down from a higher point. In many cases, however, the difficulty is of a more serious nature. The stratification of the clay, gravel and rocks through which the well is sunk may be such as to cause percolating water from a nearby source of infection to be led directly into the well. In other instances the soil surrounding the well may become so thoroughly and so constantly saturated with polluted seepage waters that it will no longer perform its function as a filter, and geom-laden waters are allowed to pass into the well. For these reasons the location of the well is of prime importance. Considered from the standpoint of convenience, the well should be located as near the kitchen as possible. But whenever such location would involve any danger of contamination due to surface drainage or to an inadequate kitchen sewerage disposal system, a location on higher ground and above this source of contamination should be selected. Select a site where drainage and seepage from barnyards, stock pens and manure pits lead away from the well rather than toward it. Gardens in Crowded Cities. Nothing brings the country more near to the city than a garden. The vacant-lot gardens are good in congested places. But there are few who can have a vacant-lot garden compared to those who can have window boxes. Get ready to put up the window boxes in the crowded sections and thus gladden thousands. Gay geraniums and graceful vines that trail their leaves over the sides of the box are the things to plant. The window-box garden should also contain saucy geraniums, wide-eyed petunias and bright verbenas. The placing of window-box gardens in crowded city streets is one of the happiest ways of easing the lot of those who must live and work in the city all summer. Proper Landscape Gardening. Fashions in yards change nowadays along with fashions in gowns, hats and husbands. Large flower beds in conspicuously central places must be done away with in favor of landscape gardening, preferably in corners of the yard or where the massing will have its full effect.

Mr. Pettit is a candidate for the nomination of State Treasurer on the Republican ticket, He is a native son of’ Missourl, having spent his early life on the farm, after which he be- came assofiated with the Citizens Bank at Kndx City, Mo., and the Bank of Plevna aff Plevna, Mo. Mr. Pettit is a businegs man in the strictest sense of thé.word. His success as a banker is his best recommendation of fifteen years of successfil business and banking. Regardless of the diffi culties and disadvantages arising from the present primary law for a person secking a public office, Mr. Pettit ts making the same businesslike cam: paign which has characterized his banking business. His plaform is, “Business Methods for the State's Business.” He realizes that the office of State Treasurer is a man's job and one especially to be managed and conducted by one qualified, and bet- ter so by a man of practical banking experience. Mr. Pettit has served one term as representative from Knox county in the 48th General Assembly, and his record there shows that he only voted for those things which were right. He was elected from a strong Democratic county by a good majority, and he feels and believes that he is the only one from Northeast Missouri, which is a Democratic sec: tion, that can command a large vote for the Republican party of that part of Missouri. He is making a strong fight and deserves:to win. VOTE FOR ELMER N. POWELL : Candidate for JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT COURT (Division No. 1) At the Primary Election, Tuesday, August First Dr. H. B.
