Is it true the white man can't Let the black man serve his own? Take the black man who has money, As a rule, he's above his race; Take the white man who has money, As a rule he's w'th his race. Take the black man who's a leader, He strives to leave his race; Take the white man who's a leader, He strives to better his race. If the Ethyopians are to rise, To the highest point in life; Good sense they should exercise, throughout their toil and strife.

Under the Auspices of the Magnanimous and Chivalrous Order Knights Templars at Lincoln Electric Park. FIFTY YEARS OF FREEDOM TO BE OBSERVED. The Grand Encampment Opens August 4 and a Lively Week to Follow. Emancipation day this year will be celebrated this year as never before by the Negroes of Kansas City and surrounding territory. It will mark the beginning of Golden Jubilee week during which period the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons will hold their 50th anniversary and the event will bring together not only Masons from all over the state of Missouri but visiting friends from all over the United States. SPLENDID WEEK'S PROGRAM PREPARED. The Golden Jubilee Committee, consisting of members from the twelve lodges of this city after three or four months of earnest endeavor completed their labors last Sunday with the result that a great week's program has been prepared beginning with the celebration of Emancipation day Friday, August 4, and closing the Friday following with a great parade Friday, August 11. GRAND CHAPTER O. E. S. The Grand Chapter closed on last Saturday morning at 6:05, after an all-night session amid great enthusiasm. Much has been said about the late hour which the Grand Chapter closed, but "that would be a dull sea and the sailor would never acquire skill were there nothing to disturb the surface of the ocean." Mrs. Sadie E. Dimery, reporter of the proceedings of the Grand Chapter for the Sun, says, this was one of the most constructive and farreaching sessions ever held and demonstrates that the well trained and farseeing women of the race are in control. * The following officers were elected: Geo. W. K. Love, R. G. P., Kansas City, Mo.; Virgile L. Walden, R. G. M., Columbia, Mo.; Wm. M. Jacobs, R. G. A. P., Richmond, Mo.; Lottie J. Gamble, R. G. A. M., Kansas City, Mo.; Ursula Hines, St. Joseph, Mo.; H. G. Treasurer; Minnie L. Crosthwait, H. G-Secretary, Kansas City, Mo.; Kate Wilton, H. G. R. & B. Secy., Omaha, Neb.; Mattie Fitzgerald, H. G. Cond., Kansas City, Mo.; Mattie Randall, St. Louis, Mo., Grand Lecturer. $194.50 was collected by Grand Chapter for the benefit of the Masonic Home and turned over to the Royal Grand Patron. The splendid showing for which the ladies deserve much praise. The next grand session will be held in Lincoln, Neb. RACE PRIDE. Is it true the black man tried. Even though he was doomed to lose? Why does the black man think, The white man is his friend? Why does the white man wink, When he sees the black man descend? Oh! ye Ethyopian race of today, Pause for a moment I pray; Have pity on the girl and boy, Whose thoughts you constant- ly destroy. WRIGHT-EASLEY. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. H.

The Kansas City Sun KANSAS CITY AND THE ENTIRE WEST SHOCKED WHEN THE NEWS FLASHED OVER THE WIRE THAT JOHN LANGE HAD PASSED AWAY A NOBLEMAN, A COURAGEOUS CITIZEN, A PHILANTHROPIST, A RACE LEADER AND A LOYAL CHURCHMAN THE WEEKLY PRESS John Lange, one of the best known men in the United States and Manager of the Blind Boone Concert Co. for the past thirty-seven years, passed away suddenly Saturday morning about 9:00 o'clock, near 18th Street and the Paseo. Mr. Lange, in company with Prof. J. R. E. Lee, was in his motor car when it was struck by a Ford car belonging to a white man. The excitement affecting his heart, he was taken to the Weaver Floral parlors where he died before Drs. Perry, Lambright and others could reach him When the news flashed over the wires to the various cities of the sudden demise of John Lange, his friends and acquaintances were shocked indeed knowing that he had seemed hale and hearty.

His boyhood was spent in the butcher shop of his father. In early manhood he became a road builder and built roads for miles out of Columbia. Thirty-six years ago he organized the Blind Boone Concert Co., and from that time to the time of his death was the manager of this company, probably the most successful organization of its kind ever established. Fifty-one years ago last March he joined the Second Baptist church at Columbia, Mo., where his membership still remains. Nineteen years ago he came to Kansas City where he has since resided. For forty-six years he has been a consistent Mason, the third master of St. Paul's Lodge at Columbia; at one time District Deputy of the Grand Lodge. He was Past Grand Junior Warden, the oldest in the jurisdiction. Ten years ago he organized a lodge of Knights of Pythias of 112 members, himself canvassing this city looking to an enrollment of worthy men. In a way of gratitude the lodge honored its foun der by bearing his name, John Lange No. 66. Besides making the lodge a gift of an $80 silk banner he has made liberal contributions to its treasury. Mr. Lang was humanity's friend; his open handed liberality was proverial. The poor and the oppressed saw in him one who chose to live by the side of the road and be a friend to man. And, although he was permitted to live beyond man's allotted time of three score years and ten yet those who knew him at his best realize that the message of the Grim Reaper came all too soon, yet we are never ready to welcome the tragedy of death. It was two years ago though the fact was unknown to the public or those outside of his immediate family that his physicians gave warning that his heart was so affected that his days were numbered and that only by careful exercise of his mind and body could he hope to extend his life beyond a few months or years at most. SCOTTISH RITE SERVICES over the Kansas City Consistency No. 7, A. A. S. R. of Freemasonry, over the remains of the late illustrious John Lange 32 degree, was observed at low twelve Monday, July 24, 1916, at the Second Baptist Church. The beautiful tribute to dead, the impressive lessons to the living, the consoling precepts to the bereaved with the manipulating of the incense, the deliberate lighting of the candles, the modulated intonations, and the low wailing music all tend to make this by far the most imposing of the Masonic services. The music was furnished by the choir of the loyal ladies of the Golden Circle, assisted by Prof. Fred Work. The services were solemnized by the following of ficers in the Rose Croix Chapter: Sov. G. Insp. Gen. Wm. H. Dawley, Jr., Wise M. Ill. Insp. Gen. D. M. Crosthwait, Sen. W. Sov. G. Insp. Gen. Edw. S. Baker, Jun. W. Ill. Insp. Gen. Jas. H. Crews, Mas. of C. Ill. Insp. Gen. Jas. P.

The casket was metallic, costing five hundred dollars; twenty-two high powered 7-passenger limousines, all of the same color, were used to convey the family and friends to beautiful Highland cemetery where interment was made in the most beautiful lot in this cemetery. The grave was hidden with beautiful evergreens and Lillies of the Valley and for 20 feet around the grave the beautiful flowers received from every section of the country, were profusely strenn, giving it the appearance of a beautiful garden of flowers. Telegrams of condolence and sympathy were received from white and colored people throughout the country and among the prominent visitors in attendance were Prof. Wm. H. Jones, principal of the high school in St. Joseph, Mo.; R. A. James and daughter Miss Julia of St. Louis, Mo.; Mrs. A. R. Chhn of Glasgow, Mo.; Richard B.

Blind Boone was deeply affected by the loss of his very dear friend but held up manfully until the body being lowered into the earth at the cemetery when he gave away to uncontrollable grief and had to be assisted by kind and loving hands to his carriage. Mrs. Lange was lovingly cared for by her niece, Mrs. Charles H. Calloway, and her dear friend, Mrs. Frances J. Jackson, and bore her sorrow with a beautiful dignity becoming one who though having lost their dearest friend has the blessed assurance of knowing that they shall see them again. "Where the sun never sets, Nor the sea never fades, But where the joys of eternity roll." Many resolutions were submitted from various organizations, schools and churches and were referred to the family without being publicly read. Also hundreds of letters, telegrams and telephone messages of sympathy were received by Grand Master Crews and the family. The following resolutions were presented by the Grand Lodge A. F. & A.

The editor destres to give to the business manager of the Sun, Miss Willa M. Glenn, credit for having gotten out our splendid extra last Saturday morning announcing the death of John Lange. Mr. Lange died at 9:06; the editor was enroute to St. Louis and single handed and alone by 11 o'clock Miss Glenn had 1,000 extra copies of the Sun in the hands of Colored newsboys being sold upon the streets. How is that for hustle and enterprise? In the vernacular "what it takes to n.ake a great Negro newspaper, the Sun has got it." AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS G. L. Hayes, who is supervising principal in a number of the Indianapolis colored schools, and who for several years has kept closely in touch with various classes that have entered high school, said that the decrease in the number of graduates this year, as compared with last, did not indicate that the numbers who remain in high school for any appreciable time have decreased, but he thinks this condition due to the personnel of certain classes that enter, and the homes represented in any particular class of unites from the public schools, he believed, should be larger. "There is too much migration on the part of the colored parents," he said. "About 350 children enter the first grades in the colored schools each year, while only about 50 per cent of the number complete the eighth grade, and on an average about 1 per cent of the number complete high school. The majority of losses are by those children whose parents leave the city. "In a large measure the parents are responsible for the comparatively small numbers who reach the last year of high school. They do not seem to realize how inefficient and unprepared their children are to meet the responsibilities of life with only an eighth grade education. The average child with ability to complete the eighth grade is capable of taking the high school course and should by all means be encouraged to do so." Among those whose high school record during the last year is worthy of special mention are Harry Campbell, Lucile Stokes, Midge Jones, Cubena McCure, Ethel Mayes, Lorianna Thomas, Spauling Pritchett, Ruth Johnston, Milred Bess, Willard Rice, Murray Atkins, Lucile Atkins, Delight Shelton, Henrietta Hrode, Ida Wilson, Mary Smoot, Jeanette Bruen, Blanch Booth, Ruth Sissle, Flossie Glover and Nellie Reeves. Of this number several have failed in a subject, but there has been in most cases excusable reason other than lack of ability. One influence to be considered in the educational advancement in this city has its foundation in industrial conditions. There was a time in the history of the city when any boy could run an elevator, deliver packages, shine shoes, sweep floors, look after the pantry, cook or wait table, and any girl could make beds, wash dishes, take care of the baby and cook. This is not true today. While many people found in these avenues of labor have little or no education, it is to be noted that for most part such persons are older people who held these places when it was not expected of them that they should do more than "make a mark after their name," as evidence that they were uneducated to the extent of writing their signatures. But as these places gradually fall to the younger generation, the employer is demanding at least a common school education, hence the boys who complete the public schools and who can take with them the recommendations of their teachers, together with their diplomas, as evidence of their worth, have every advantage over the boy who "quits school" early to go to work. In many cases the cook is housekeeper and must have the necessary intelligence required to manage economically and promote the general health and happiness of the family. Instances are not unusual among colored employees where the porter has become clerk clerk. The fact that The trustees of the Tuskegee institute certainly made no mistake in the selection of Maj. Robert R. Moton as principal to succeed the late Doctor Washington. Major Moton is a man of rare ability and intelligence, and his gift of organization and administration was amply tested by 25 years' work at Hampton. In this regard, it may be said with entire respect to the memory of Doctor Washington, he is even more completely qualified than his predecessor. No one familiar with his achievement at Hampton can fail to recognize his sound judgment, his tact and resourcefulness, his influence over the pupils, and his high conception of the large alms of Hampton, which are in substance those of Tuskegee as well. We should say that he is now the strongest leader of his race an better equipped than any other to guide it in the right path. He has one peculiar advantage. He is a full-blood Negro, and the record of his life is in itself a source of encouragement and inspiration to the humblest of his race. The following extract from an address made at Hampton in 1912 shows the goal to The paper industry in Spain is seriously affected by the war, on account of the difficulty of obtaining supplies of paper pulp and chemicals formerly imported from European countries.

In some regions of eastern Europe it is the custom to mix violets, roses and limes with sweetmeats in order to impart a floral tincture to the taste of fruit. In turkey sweets are made of carnations, lilies and lavender. Floral sandwiches are made in Greece and Turkey with nasturtiums, a most edible flower that grows in most warm and temperate climates in profusion. Sandwiches are also made of pepper mint finely ground and spread over thinly-sliced radishes between even colored boys and girls have so few avenues of employment open to them for earning an independent living, makes it easier for employers to demand a high standard of efficiency, for there are large numbers to choose from. The continuation schools, especially those for the colored children, have been the means of encouraging many children to remain in school. Where pupils fall in the last term, with few exceptions they enter the summer school and to prepare for their grade in September, and in many instances they are successful, where on the other hand, without this chance, they often become discouraged and give up, the same thing being true of both high school and grammar pupils. There was a notable reduction in the age of the pupils graduating from the grammar schools this year, a fact that is significant for several reasons. The compulsory educational laws of the state do not apply to children under seven years, and in too many instances parents do not realize it to their own interest and the child's to start first grade children to school at five and a half where there is room for them, and at six by all means. In many cases the irregularity of attendance on the part of these pupils is one of the problems of first-grade teachers. Out of the stories that straggled across the desert from dust-caked lips and thirst-burst tongues comes a little interlude, told with all the insurance of a raconteur, of a Negro trooper who paused in the trek to pour a bit of water on the tongue of a horse he knew was dying. Not that the act would help the horse, and certainly not that it would help the trooper in his hike toward safety. But the record says the trooper saw in the eyes of the horse that look that animals give and the inference is that he went on, inspired, to do even better things, if that be possible. There is no purpose in this comment to hint that better things than that might be in the day's work. If prompt answer were demanded it might be said better things were not in the course of human events. There is, however, a reminder of the days of 1808, which these days make ever present, a light on the Negro troop character that makes understandable the men who go forward singing ragtime as an answer to that other chorus the machine guns sing. The other story has to do with the heroic Lawton, and it is a story he told with that appreciation only such as he could show. The general saw one Negro soldier helping on his shoulder another, injured, along the march. The stout one carried the guns and the accountments of both in addition to the wounded brother, but he carried also a dog that was once the mascot of the company and the wounded brother's particular pet. When the general asked why the soldier should burden himself with the animal, the soldier answered: "Why the poor thing's tired." Strange folks these soldiers of the Negro troop. They love their horses and their dogs to an unconscionable degree, and yet, as Capain Morey has recorded, they "fight like hell." Russia is the home of nearly one- half of the world's Jews and is the only country with a larger Jewish population than the United States. ward which he strives, and which he would set for Tuskegee: "Whatever question there may be about the white man's part in the situation, there is no doubt about ours. Don't let us fool ourselves, but keep in mind the fact that the man who owns his own home and cultivates his land, and lives a decent, self-respecting useful life, is no problem anywhere. We talk about the 'color line.' You know and I know that the blackest man in Alabama or Mississippi, or Africa, or anywhere else, who puts the same amount of skill and energy into his farming, gets as large returns for his labor as the whitest Anglo-Saxon. . . . I believe that, unless a democracy is a failure and Christianity is a mockery, it is entirely feasible and practicable for the black and white races of America to develop side by side, in peace, in harmony, and in mutual helpfulness each toward the other, living together as 'brothers in Christ without being brothers in law,' each making its own contribution to the wealth and culture of our beloved country."—New York Times.

DRINKS FOR SUMMER DAYS Delicious Cooling Beverages That Are at the Command of Practically Every Housewife. Grape juice is an excellent foundation for a variety of delicious drinks, and has the advantage of being healthful. It is much more economical to put up your own grape juice each year, but if you have not done this a case of small bottles does not come high. Grape juice and limes make one of the most deliciously cooling of summer drinks. Pour into a tall glass three or four fingers of grape juice, add the juice of two limes and a slice of the peel; fill the glass with water to taste—a sparkling water is preferable—and serve ice cold. Grape juice and temonade make a good combination. A ginger ale and cold tea punch is a novel drink that is very good. Sweeten half a pitcher of cold tea, add the juice of a lemon and several sprigs of mint. Keep on ice and at the last minute pour in a bottle of ginger ale. This should not stand before serving, as the ginger ale will lose its sparkle. A rather strong and not too sweet ginger ale should be used for this punch. Iced cafe au lait is the best drink to serve if the luncheon is very light, and a little extra nourishment is wanted. To make it properly—and it seldom is made properly—it should be carefully blended, mixing the coffee and milk well together and sweetening to taste. It is better, if possible, to use a sugar sirup to sweeten it. Stand on the ice until ready to serve and then add a little thick cream to each glass and enough cracked ice to fill the glass. For the sweeter varieties of soft drinks, milk shakes and fruit sirups may be used. To make a milk shake fill a glass two-thirds full of milk; sweeten it to taste with any fruit sirup or with a little of some strained preserve, if you have not the sirup. Fill the glass with cracked ice and shake together until well mixed. Fruit sirups can be made from strawberries, raspberries, cherries or currants. Cook a quart of fruit with a pint of water until well softened, then strain and press out the juice through a heavy cloth. When cold, sweeten and dilute to taste, and serve in tall glasses filled with cracked ice. TEMPTING DISHES Chop boiled spinach fine and mix thoroughly with a raw egg. Mold and put in the oven a minute to reheat. A spoonful of boiled and grated fresh corn or one of the canned corn, if heated and put in the bottom of the soup plate just before the tomato soup is poured in, makes a dish decidedly new and appetizing. The top of the round is often cut up in inch cubes, browned slightly and then stewed in enough water to cover it. This is put in the middle of the platter and then surrounded with boiled noodles to make a tasty dish. For anyone who likes cooked bananas a very good idea is to cut the fruit very, very fine and then add to the hot cake batter and cook the same as the ordinary hot cakes. Grated corn is also very good if used in the same manner. Brown Stew. Two pounds and a half of neck and shoulder of fresh beef cut in small pieces. If too fat, remove some of it, wash meat and put on stone in about two quarts or more of hot water in a good-sized kettle. Add two onions sliced thin, two good-sized carrots cut in dice, three medium potatoes cut up. Stew should cook about three and a half hours. Don't boil too hard. Should be quite thick and very dark rich brown in color and not fat. Put in onions, carrots, salt and pepper when you put on the meat; put in potatoes about one-half hour before stew is done. Calves' Liver and Bacon Cook rare eight slices of bacon in the blaze; lift the bacon out, leaving the fat in the pan; put in eight slices of liver cut thin and lightly dusted with flour, and cook for five minutes, turning continually; now put the bacon back to finish, adding a tablespoonful of butter and salt and pepper to taste. Then serve. Tomatoes and Cheese Prepare slices of hot toast. Take one cupful of tomato juice. Grate one pound cheese, add to the tomato with salt, a little cayenne pepper and one cupful bread crumbs. Melt table-spoonful butter in omelet pan, add above mixture and stir until cooked and creamy. Pour over toast and serve. To Clean Window Shades. Wet a sponge with lukewarm water, squeeze out the surplus, and go over the shade carefully. It may be necessary to do this twice, then wipe gently with a dry cloth, taking care not to rub too much, as the paint may come off. Waldrof Salad. One cupful celery diced, one cupful sliced apples cut up and down, one tablespoonful lemon juice, dash of salt and pepper, one-half cup mayonnaise or boiled dressing if you prefer. Mix all lightly so as not to mash front. Place dressing on top and serve in bed of lettuce leaves. A few malaga grapes and whole nut meats on top add to appearance. Potatoes With Cheese. Cut six cold potatoes in cubes. Make a white sauce, one cupful milk, two tablespoonfuls flour, season with salt and pepper and add four large tablespoonfuls grated cheese. In dish put layer of potatoes, cover with sauce, etc., until full. Cover with crumbs, dot with bits of butter and brown in oven. Mend Before Washing. It is of the utmost importance to mend anything that needs starch before it is laundered. If the torn or worn place is starched and troned it is torn and worn just so much the more; and a stiff, worn place is very hard to mend. FOR HOT WEATHER SIMPLICITY IN CLOTHES IS NOW MUCH IN DEMAND. And Here Is Where the One-Piece Frock Justifies Its Continued Pop- ularity—May Be Made at Home at Small Cost. The woman who searches anxiously for clothes that can be slipped into easily in summer weather, avoiding the tedious accessories that are demanded by the usual method of midsummer dressing, finds the one-piece gown a joy, for it is built on one lining, and that of coarse white net which not only washes but is cool. She can slip the slipp over the shoulders, adjust the girdle, and life is simplified. Only the inordinately vain or fastidious woman would imperil her nervous system by exhausting herself in the trifles of dress when the thermometer is making things unpleasant in the morning. Life may demand otherwise for certain hours and occasion, but in the house and before the afternoon, surely then, if at any time, woman should be free from the fret of adjusting a multitude of clothes on her person. Another choice of hot weather frocks which is to be commended as it shows a normal attitude of mind as to what fabrics go with what temperatures, is for two-piece frocks of wash silk in narrow stripes. Blue, yellow, green and lavender against a white background are the selected colors. The smart dressmakers are asking $75 for these costumes, including a belt of the material elaborated with pearl buttons, which seem to have suddenly found favor with those whom fashion clothes because France sent over a black satin coat with a cream lace skirt, the sides outlined with two rows of these white ornaments; but it is not even necessary for a woman to have an especially good seamstress to accomplish one of the "seventy-fives" at a third the price. The blouse is cut like a mannish skirt with plaits in front and back, the sleeves ending in broad turnover cuffs of white silk; the shirt is slight- an excellent quality of wash silk is one of the materials which never leave regrets. (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) No Woman Can Be Really Beautiful Who Neglects This Most Important of Duties. Most of us neglect our eyes until they are in such a dangerous state that we must care for them. How many read in poor light, sleep with the light streaming in on the eyes or strain them in the sunlight when bathing at the seashore or motoring? How many of you bathe the eyes daily? The daily eye bath is one of the most important and essential parts of every person's life. None would live in a house with unwashed windows. But we will go year after year without washing the windows of the soul. When one considers how a clear, PETER PAN HAT The model is a charming one in a combination of straw and velvet. The lower part of the high crown is of velvet. The upper part is of fine-woven straw. Two ribbon feathers are jauityly slipped into slits on either side of the hat. FASHION NOTES Coarse rush straws are particularly appropriate for country hats. New are the sailor hats of pink or blue linen bound with ribbon. Some of the new hats are trimmed with tiny flat baskets of flowers. Period style brooches go very well with the present quaint frocks. Organdie gowns are trimmed with beads and with velvet and flowers. May flowered delaine and blue tnf. beads and with velvet and flowers. May flowered delineal and blue tafeta make a charming combination. Petticoats of net with flouces finished with flowered ribbon are very full and cool looking. Flowers, fruit, animals and landscapes are now painted by hand on hats, stockings and gowns. A frock made of white material dotted with blue spots and trimmed with blue ribbon is ideal for a summer afternoon. Polka dotted leather is one of the novelties, not too successful in point of beauty, but in some cases, with an air of smartness.

The collar is a sweeping affair of white silk that rolls well down over the chest. These gowns have taken the place of the ever popular jersey cloth in the wardrobe of several women who have monotony in the weary repetition of the same fabric, usually made up in the same manner. And an excellent quality of wash silk is one of the materials which never leave regrets. (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) sparkling eye adds to the attractiveness of a face, one realizes that the best of care should be given this sensitive organ. I am told by physicians that indigestion, nervousness, headache and other alliments are often the result of weak, strained or tired eyes. Many women do not know their eyes are not normal; many are too vain to wear glasses. They prefer to disrupt and upset the entire system rather than wear a pair of glasses because they look better without them. If the trouble is taken in time the glasses need never be worn in public. The eye bath should be taken in the morning and before retiring. The eye cup fits over the open eye and the water will wash it out. Soft or distilled water should be used. A pinch of salt thoroughly diluted strengthens the eye and rests it. Or boric acid is also a good eye wash. The cup must be well cleansed before using on either eye. Sometimes one eye will be infected while the other is quite well and the eye cup will carry the infection. Under no conditions should more than one person use the cup. If one can spare the time after washing the eyes it is wise to lay a damp cloth over them and lie down for ten minutes. When reading one should always sit so that the light comes from the back or over the left shoulder. The book or paper should be held about two feet away. If one must hold the book nearer or farther away to read with comfort an eye specialist should be visited. I want to remind you of the danger for those who rub the eye with the hands or fingers or handkerchief. Many causes of eye trouble can be traced to them.-Chicago News. For Young Girls. In the evening the more diaphnous the dresses of the young girls, the more becoming they are, and scarves of tulle of every color are twisted round the figure and neck, just as a pretty woman knows so well how to adjust them with the most satisfactory results. Petticoats With Yokes Petticoats are now being made with deep pointed yokes upon which are set net or thin silk foundations ruffed right down to the hem. A few of these petticoats are slightly stiffened, but most of them have merely a heavy cord around the bottom and a width of hair lace. leather is dotted with white or green or bright blue or other sharply contrasting color and made up either with plain black leather or with black silk, sometimes with silk of the color of the dot. White serge and white gabardine outing suits made with three-quarter or even seven-eighths coats are numerous, and with these the makers often provide skirts skipped all around. A stunning cape to wear over lingerie dresses at the shore is of bright red, blue or yellow bolivia, vicuna or velour delaure. This cape is simply a very wide circular cape which drops nearly to the hem of the short dress and is gathered on to a wide sash, which has long ends. So when it is drawn up round the neck it makes a muffler which goes about the throat several times. This cape is most artistic when it is worn as if it were simply thrown about the shoulders, the collar sush ends crossed in front and fastened under the cape behind. TAKING CARE OF FURNITURE Simple Methods. Constantly Employed Will Keep It Looking Its Best for Many Years. White furniture and wood work can be beautifully cleaned with whiting; wring a flannel cloth from hot water, dip in whiting and rub well to remove all stains, then wash off the whiting with clean, warm water, dry with a soft cloth; the rubbing strokes should always be with the grain of the wood. Wicker furniture should be cleaned with a strong solution of salt and water. Soap should never be used on wicker, as it produces a yellow tinge; where very shabby-looking, wicker may be refreshed by being painted. The paint used should be well mixed and thinned to the proper consistency. If too thick it is apt to remain on the wicker in lumps. Furniture upholstered in leather cloth will last much longer if the covering is occasionally revived with the following mixture: Take one part best vinegar, two parts of boiled linseed oil, shake well together. Apply a little on a soft rag and afterward polish with a silk duster or an old chamois leather. When cleaning upholstered furniture it is often either impossible or inconvenient to move it out of doors. In such cases place a wet cloth over the piece of furniture and then beat it, changing the cloth several times during the process. The dust will adhere to the cloth and will not rise in the room. Try rubbing your furniture which has grown streaked and dull with a flannel dipped in equal parts of turpentine and kerosene oil. It polishes quickly and much more cleanly than the expensive polishes. EFFICIENCY IN THE KITCHEN Standardizing of Equipment Will Be Found to Work Wonders in Lessening the Labor. The thinking housewife who puts her housework on a systematic basis is bound to standardize conditions, thereby accomplishing more and better work with the least expenditure of time, energy and money. Standardizing means working at the right height with the proper tools under the best conditions of light, ventilation and comfort. How many women stoop unnecessarily over kitchen tables, sinks, wash tubs and ironing boards? We waste time and needless walking in poorly arranged kitchens, whereas, if our main working equipment was placed in right relation to our smaller equipment, much waste motion would be done away with. Think over carefully the efficiency of your kitchen and try by rearranging the equipment you have, to do more work and better work in less time.-Miriam M. Haynes, Colorado Agricultural College, Fort Collins, Colo Stuffed Tomatoes. Twelve large, smooth tomatoes, one teaspoonful of salt, a little pepper, one tablespoonful of butter, one of sugar, one cupful of bread crumbs, one teaspoonful of onion juice. Arrange the tomatoes in a baking pan. Cut a thin slice from the smooth end of each. With a small scoop scoop out as much of the pulp and juice as possible without injuring the shape. When all have been treated in this way, mix the pulp and juice with the other ingredients and fill the tomatoes with this mixture. Put on the tops, and bake slowly three-quarters of an hour. Slice the cake turner under the tomatoes and lift gently on to a flat dish. Garnish with parsley and serve. Ham and Sweet Peppers. Canned or sweet peppers are very nice to combine with minced ham. Put the ham through a meat grinder, also some sweet peppers. To three cupfuls of meat use half a cupful of peppers. In a deep bowl mix the ham, peppers and one tablespoonful of minced parsley. Put into a deep baking dish, sprinkle the top with bread crumbs and bits of butter, and bake in a quick oven half an hour. Stuffed Green Peppers. Cut stem end off, scoop out seeds, put cups thus cleaned into cold water, and when they have boiled 15 minutes take off the stove and drain. Mix stuffing as follows: Equal parts of pressed ham and bread and small onion run through meat chopper. Stuff peppers with this mixture, put a piece of butter on top of each and bake 15 minutes in pretty hot oven. Hot Water Without a Fire It is disagreeable to keep a fire during the warm summer months merely for hot water. Have the tinner make a jacket out of galvanized iron, give it a lining of asbestos and place it around the hot water tank. The iron is of such width that two pieces will cover the entire tank and extend far enough above to hold a layer of ashes. The water will stay hot 24 hours. Stewed Celery. An excellent dish and easily cooked. Wash stalks thoroughly and boil in well-salted water till tender, which will be about 20 minutes. After it is ready as above, drain thoroughly, place on toasted bread, pour over it a quantity of sauce. A sauce of cream, seasoned with a little mace, may be served over celery. It may be served with melted butter. Fruit Cookies One cupful sugar, one-half cupful butter, one-half cupful rich milk or cream, two well-beaten eggs, two cupful sifted flour, one-half cupful currants, one cupful raisins, one teaspoonful cinnamon, one teaspoonful cream tartar and one-half teaspoonful soda. Drop on buttered tins. Cornmeal Doughnuts A teacupful and a half boiling milk poured over two teacupful meals. When cool add two cupcups four, one of butter, 1½ of sugar, three eggs; flavor with cinnamon. Let rise-until very light; roll about half an inch thick, cut in strips three inches long and twist. Roll in hot lard. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago). (Copyright, 1916, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JULY 30 "THE WORD OF THE CROSS." LESSON TEXT-I Cor. 111; 2:5. Print 1-18-2-2. GOLDEN TEXT-Far be it from me to glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.-Gal. 6:14. Paul's letter to the church at Corinth was written from the city of Ephesus some four of five years after Paul had left Corinth. We have seen some of the difficulties which surrounded this church. It was a small body of believers in a great city of four hundred thousand. It was surrounded by all kinds of liscenceiousness and excess so that to maintain a Christian moral ideal was difficult in the extreme. That is why this first epistle has so much to do with church government, and such questions as the marriage relation, the conduct of public assemblies, spiritual gifts, the resurrection from the dead, different factions, the love feasts of the rich and the poor, eating meat offered to idols, law suits conducted before the heathen, the Lord's supper and church discipline are discussed. Paul did not himself write the letter. Sosthenes acted as his amanuensis. In this letter is the wonderful and immortal love chapter (Ch. 13), and the magnificent resurrection chapter (Ch. 15). Paul recognizes many of the good things that have been done by the Corinthian church (See Ch. vv. 1-9), but goes on to entreat the church against any party spirit and factions (vv. 10-7). His argument for church unity is superb. The only unity desirable or possible is that which Christ prayed for (John 17:21). This is not a unity of opinion or of organization, but a unity of purpose and power, the working together of believers in harmony to attain the great purposes of Christianity. It is a unity of freedom and not of compulsion. 1. The Power and Wisdom of God. (vv. 18:25). To a sin-blinded mind the preaching of the cross is foolishness. Even some professed Christians reject the doctrine of substitution which is found everywhere in the Bible. (Isa. 53:6; Gal. 3:13; I Cor. 5:21). If the doctrine of the cross is foolishness to anyone it is to "them that perish." The Jews require a sign (v. 22) but the cross puts them to shame (v. 27). God is made unto us wisdom, not the wisdom of men but the wisdom of the Spirit. It is such preaching as this that is "the power of God." It has proven itself the power of God in our lives. It will "destroy the wisdom of the wise" and "bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent" (Isa. 29:14 cf. Jer. 8:9). God is constantly making foolish the power and wisdom of this world. Philosophic research after the unknowable "tries to make a God of its own pattern but does not satisfy the longings of the human heart," and God through the foolishness of the thing preached is pleased to "save them which believe." The performing of a miracle (Math. 12:38), and the Greeks seeking after wisdom, or philosophical reasoning, is no match for the Christ crucified whom Paul preached. The wisdom of man in comparison with the wisdom of God is worthless: the foolishness of God is wiser than that of man, and the weakness of God is stronger than that of man. God does a good deal of playing upon imperfect instruments. He doubtless often longs to produce better music through these human instruments, but hard as it is to keep them near to concert pitch, yet he is patient and, "unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God," is producing the anthem of glory to the honor of his name. 11. The Preaching and Power of Paul (vv. 28 to Ch. 2:2). Taking the Bible as a whole, we see in it God's plan and purpose with regard to the goal of mankind. The problem was by what means this purpose could be performed.* The whole of the Old Testament is a story of God working to this end. Then at the best time in all history came Jesus, the son of God, into the world, and, by his death on the cross and his resurrection, we are all bound together in one* summed up in the cross as the power and the wisdom of God for salvation. The symbol of the cross is a common sight, yet the great truth which it symbolizes is often obscured by scholars, and fails to be lived by disciples. God chooses those whom the world rejects, "the foolish," and whom the world rejects as "the weak." These are the ones that were called even in Paul's day. The purpose of this call is to confound (or to put to shame) the wisdom of men. The most powerful motive in existence is the motive of the cross. (1) The cross is the highest proof and the strongest expression of the love of God for man. (2) The cross was the agent whereby atonement was made for sin. (3) The cross shows us the terrible evils of sin and the demand of such a sacrifice as God's son in order to save us from it. (4) It shows us that God wants us to come to him and to be saved, and that there is joy in heaven over every repentant sinner. (5) It shows the supreme value of right and duty in that Christ went to the cross at the terrible cost of his life. (6) It shows the value of the human soul. (7) From the cross, through the resurrection and the ever-living Saviour, God has given us the fullness of the Spirit to inspire and transform. We are nothing in ourselves, and God has made Christ unto us "wisdom and righteousness," that is, God's righteousness is provided for us in Christ (I Cor. 5:21; Rom. 5:1; Phil. 3:9; R. V.); also sanctification and redemption, that is, we are separated from the world unto God and in him we are redeemed from sin and its consequences.

In the meantime the Masons of Kansas City were exerting themselves in their efforts toward making the semi-centennial celebration an event which might surpass anything of the kind ever attempted in the west. No sooner had they returned from the Hannibal meeting than were they meeting, appointing committees and planning for the big affair. It was intended to create such an interest in the occasion as would encourage the attendance not only of the members of the Grand Lodge but of the subordinate members as well and perhaps even draw upon hundreds of the uninitiated who would be attracted by the series of public events. Invitation were early sent out to all the Masonic bodies in the country and Grand Master Crews was voted JOE E. HERRIFORD. a sufficient amount of money to en- able him to entertain in proper style all visiting grand masters of sister jurisdictions. In rounding out the half century of its existence the jurisdiction was "DON'T GO HOME — THE MIDDLETON C Will Serve Meals at All Will Serve Meals at All Hours During the Entire KNIGHTS TEMPLAR ENCAMPMENT August 4th to 11th at LINCOLN ELECTRIC PARK.

Its policies were all thoroughly tried out and well settled. Their wisdom was thoroughly demonstrated by this time and there was nothing to be heard but encouraging hopes and enthusiastic praise on all sides. Masonry in Missouri had held its own against more difficulties than had ever beset any organization of its kind in this section of the land and had triumphed through the very strength of its own inherent power. True, the work in this state has never been hampered by any serious impediments thrown in the way by people of the other race as has been the case with many grand lodges, especially of the deep south where court procedure and even brigandage have been resorted to in order to impede the work of the Craft. Our work has been very largely one of education and it has been very satisfactory, even though very slow at times. The old idea that Masonry could not exist anywhere unless it were recognized and approved by white members of the order has at this time been fully abandoned and the failure to win the so-called recognition has doubtless proved a real blessing in that it has placed the colored men more eclearly upon their own responsibility and has left them completely upon their own resources. The idea of esoteric intercourse was also rendered more intangible eby the growing social prejudice of the white people against the colored people of America. No matter what phase of the question might have been offered by those who asked for this recognition it always resolved itself into a bugbearish form of "social equality" which t othe other side possessed greater and greater peril.

A black man, even a black Mason might be killed to prevent "social equality" between the races. Of course no man would willingly go out and die for this cause as he would for "Political Rights" or for "Religious Freedom," but he would steal up to a Negro's cabin, set it on fire, ravish the terrified wife and daughter, slay the cowering father and son to prevent the unspeakable condition of "social equality" as it might manifest itself in secret society, in church worship and even in ordinary business contact. Naturally, then, the idea of "recognition" had to be given up. It probably will never be taken up again unless it is urged by the white people themselves. That will be near the millennium and many other good things will be going on at the same time. Thinking Negroes are growing weary of all this idle contention over that which would be valueless even were it achieved. Masonry as a great guardian of the people asks for nothing more than to be given room to exert itself through itself. It demands no fawning sympathy, no patronizing nudging in the ribs from "Marse Jawn" or anyone else. Its final safety depends alone upon its diligence in living up to its own standards of manhood and integrity. Relying upon these and keeping them constantly in mind in every relation of crafthood will absolutely insure continued usefulness and success. Masonry is bigger than any race and therefore is not to be effected by any race weaknesses like prejudice, caste hatred or ignorance. These may render the ideals of the society less cogent and effective but the real titembs are not at all molested. * Mme.

Remember Colored men next Thursday is Primary Election day and if you want good men to be nominated for office go to the polls and vote. Great preparation are being made by the citizens of this city for the entertainment of the various bodies that are to meet here next month beginning with the Masonic Grand Lodge August 7. Let everyone remember that Kansas City is on trial and let us make a splendid and lasting impression favorable to our beautiful city, upon all who shall come within our gates The outrageous and unjust treatment being accorded the colored soldiers of the Eighth Illinois by Texas crackers and roughnecks merits the severest condemnation of all fair minded Americans and should influence the administration at Washington to see that justice and fair play is given to these representatives of a race that have always been loyal to America. During the meantime the boys continue to protect themselves if it is necessary to kill every roughneck that insults or assaults them in the State of Texas. Nexts week the Democrats of Oklahoma will make another effort to disfranchise the colored taxpayers of the state. The highest courts having declared the old "Grandfather Law" to be unconstitutional, another provision in different form but with the same intent is to be put through. This latter plan embraces a literacy test and excludes all who or whose ancestors ever engaged in any war in the United States. This must be proved satisfactorily to the election officials and will naturally have the desired result of denying the ballot even to those colored men whose fathers fought and died to preserve the integrity of the Union while it favors the sons of those who sought to destroy the nation. It is said that the present bill is drawn with great adroitness and that it is expected to stand the tests of the courts. The present election is being conducted so as to deceive the ignorant voters by the use of misleading methods of balloting and there is little doubt as to the result. Little Corner —That a woman loves to have a man tell her he's jealous of her. How easy. —That a fat man and the weather prophet are in the same class—Nobody loves them. —That if prices keep going up, it's going to be a tussle to eat this winter. —That the National Business League will bring 5,000 strangers to aur city. Well, we're ready for them. —That those girls who are expecting to catch a peach of a husband during the coming conventions had better be sure they don't grab a lemon. —That the gowns that will be worn by Kansas City society during the "big doin's" in August, will make 'em all set up and take notice. —That every Negro business place in town should follow the example set by the Masons and paint up and decorate their building. Amen. —That there are a whole lot of knives out already for the new principals, selected for the Negro schools. Well, "lay on McDuff." —That the Sun scooped all Negro papers in the country with its Satur day extra on the death of John Lange. Well the Sun is a newspaper. A late portrait of Mr. John Lange. NOTICE. All persons who expect to entertain visitors or delegates to the Golden Jubilee Celebration in August will kindly communicate with A. M. Wilson, 1804 E. 10th street. Y. M. C. A. Notes Three school teachers from Kansas City, Kas., have enrolled in the noonday class. They are Professor Jno. Hodge, P. H. Brown and G. W. Buster. Among the men who have learned to swim in the past few weeks are Albert Jones, R. J. Knox, G. B. Buster Elmer Green and B. L. Massey. These men started this summer and learned rapidly. The Y. M. C. A.'s Second Annual Loys' Camp, known as Camp Inspiration opened Tuesday, July 25th, under most favorable conditions. The roster showed an enrollment of thirty-seven. Several more boys will go later in the week. This year, a number of men will spend several days in camp. Mr. Stewart of the Stewart & Smith Real Estate firm left Wednesday. Mr. A. W. Hardy, Physical Director on Thursday; Friday, Mr. J. L. Steele, Pullman employee and several other men made the trip, thus receiving an inexpensive vacation "out in the open ", under the best conditions. The camp which is situated on the farm of Rev. J. D. Smith, near Sirridge, Kas., a station on the Bonner Springs line, affords adequate swimming and fishing facilities. The cost to men is seventy-five cents a day or three dollars and fifty-cents per week. The camp closes Friday, August 4th. As only a limited amount of space is reserved for adults, it is necessary that all men contemplating going should call the Y. M. C. A. building for information. The A. N. O. club met July 19th, with Mrs. J. N. Neely; after the regular business was transacted ice cream and cake was served to 20 members. Remarks in honor of the hostess by Mrs. Amanda Harper.

The National Negro Business League to Meet in Kansas City August 16,18 The Negro Business League is sparing no pains to make the National Negro Business League's Convention the biggest event in the history of the city. The local committees are working day and night making the arrangements to entertain this grand body of colored business men. All the colored business places have been cleaning, painting and buying new furniture and are trying their best to have everything in first class condition. At this rate it looks as this will be one of the most inspiring meetings ever witnessed. A large number of prominent colored business men from every state in the Union will be here in August and from present indications it appears that this will be the most notable demonstrations in the National Negro Business League ever witnessed. The parade committee headed by Q. J. Gilmore, chairman; J. L. Crisp, secretary; Sir W. G. Moseley, Col. L. A. Knox, Col. Daniel Moore, P. C. James, Major N. Clark Smith, Col. Neal Range, Jr. and Mr. W. H. Hubbell are full of ambition and that is what it takes to make the parade a success. We will see one of the grandest parades in the history of this city. The committee has asked that every military organization, women's clubs and every business enterprise in the two Kansas Cities to participate and also six bands. The committee is putting forth every effort forward to make this parade Thursday, August 17, an extraordinary day. They expect at least fifteen hundred or more men and women in this big parade and in order to accommodate this situation the League will notify all its members and will request every colored place to declare the parade day a full holiday. It is expected that more than 5,000 out-of-town people will arrive from nearby towns to view this wonderful parade. The parade will be headed by Q. J. Gilmore and staff followed by the following military departments of different organizations: The Knights Templars, Patriarchie of the Odd Fellows, Knights of Friendship, Knights of Tabor, Knights of Pythias, Uniform Ranks of the B. L. I. P. U. of A., the Boy Scouts, and a number of out-of-town Uniform Ranks; two out-of-town bands whose names we failed to receive but will mention later together with the route of this wonderful parade. Mr. F. J. Weaver president of the Local Leaghe, is working day and night meeting the different committees.

Arthur Smith and his young wife stopped simultaneously, horrified, in the market place of Travancore. A crowd of Hindus had gathered about a man who lay, with a placid look upon his face, on a bed of sharp-pointed nails. After stretching himself out as if he were on a comfortable mattress, the fakir rose up, smiling, and held out his copper bowl for alms. The piece of the populace clattered against the sides. When the bowl was thrust out to the missionary he turned away with a frown and drew his wife's arm through his. "Sometimes, Mary, I doubt whether these people can be civilized," he said. "What a disgusting exhibition! And they call that a holy man!" Mr. Smith was only a year out from the theological college in Iowa. He had felt a call to act as missionary among the heathen. He was a young man of ardent mind and intensely in earnest, but a little narrow, a little incapable of entering into the life of the Indian. Nevertheless he had accomplished a great deal of good in Travancore, and of the people whom he was inclined to think unamenable there were many who spoke with good will of him. It was three days later when he was surprised to see the fakir confronting him in his study. How the man had got in he did not know, for his native servant had not admitted him. "No," said the missionary sternly. "You not give pice to poor fakir?" asked the man, smiling. "I am here to heal men's souls, not to encourage such barbarous exhibitions. Do you suppose you can do any good to yourself or others by those self-inflicted tortures?" "There are things you know nothing The fakir looked at him gravely A man in a suit sits at a desk, reading a book. A woman in a turban stands behind him, holding a bowl of food.

The directors argue that the public has become tired of faked dangers and mechanical feats that make ordinary scenes appear hazardous. The desire for realism may be all right for the public and the director, but it is hard on the performers. Patrons of the pictures are so familiar with scenes depicting rough riding, descents of mountain sides on horseback and leaps from cliffs in which the rider falls clear of the mount and in other ways firts with death that they never stop to think of the real danger incurred by those actors who dare so much for the silent drama. Of course there are certain pictures in which the danger is faked.

"When I first began to jump off moving trains," said Helen Holmes, when asked for her impressions of daredevilling in the films, "I must confess I was somewhat timid, but now I take it as something which must be done to complete the picture. "In one picture in which I worked about six months ago I went through the action with my heart in my mouth, and for a moment at least I felt quitting. It was a railroad picture in which I was to drive a big engine across a bridge which was to be blown up as the engine reached the middle. "A torpedo on the track about twenty feet from the spot where the dynamite charge was placed to wreck the bridge was to give me my signal to dive from the cab to the river thirty feet below. From the moment that the engine reached the wooden trestle I kept thinking what would happen if the torpedo did not go off and I should be carried down into the wreckage. "The run of about thirty yards seemed interminal, but everything worked according to plans and I made the dive safely, but I was shaking like a leaf when fished from the river. I was so frightened I could hardly keep myself afloat. "But now I have become so used to risking my neck that I accept it as a matter of course. It is much like the case of an aviator when he starts flying. At first he is cautious and only makes slight ascents and safe descents, but soon the spirit of daring enters his soul and he is looping the loop and doing spirals 2,000 feet in the air, and other dangerous stunts."

There was Marion Swayne, who thought it pretty hard when she was called upon recently to allow herself to be rescued from quicksands on a treacherous bit of picturesque Florida beach. It would not suffice to have her buried in a sand hole on a solid portion of the beach where she could easily be extricated without danger to herself. George Foster Platt, who was directing the five-reel feature entitled "The Net," insisted that the best results could only be obtained by having the star caught in the real quicksand. Outside the range of the camera a group of men were ready with planks and rope to rescue the actress in case the scene as planned miscarried and she should need other help than that offered by Bert Delaney, the leading man and hero. Miss Swayne was reluctant at first to try the scene, but finally consented and timidly went out to the treacherous sandbar. The feeling of helplessness that came over her when her feet sank slowly from under her without means of staying them alarmed the screen star. As she sank to the waist her features registered a genuine fear, and at this point the camera man began "shooting" the scene while the gallant hero with a stout rope lassoed her. It required all his strength to drag her from the sands which were engulfing her. When on solid ground again Miss Swayne with a tremulous voice said: "I suppose on the screen that will look easy, but I don't care to try it over again."

Wide publicity was once given to a stunt picture in which a trained acrobat jumped a horse from a hilltop into a chasm, inflicting injuries upon himself and the animal and getting into trouble with the humane society officials. This man was not a regular member of the picture company, but was engaged at a big price to perform the daring act. Anna Little had a somewhat similar experience, although part of it was not done intentionally. Under the direction of Frank Borzage, a glutton forism, Miss Little was to slide down the side of it some seventy feet high on horseback to a band of Indians in pursuit. The ride a skilled equestrienne, unflinching course-footed horse. It was impossible to scene because the director knew that gone through it once neither Miss horse could be persuaded to repeat The first ery were a tory in 1881.

Smith, wavering between the double duty, at last decided to take his wife down to the const. They were in the midst of packing when the storm broke. A distant murmur nose into a yell. A mob armed with swords came rushing through the streets, burning and looting. The native servants had fled. Smith hurried his wife into the little garden. A glance showed them that their escape was intercepted. As the bearer of the hated tidings of another faith, he was marked for the fury of the rioters. The crowd swept through the garden gate. At their head, his eyes alight with fanaticism, was the fakir, torch and sword in hand. "Kill! Kill!" the mob shouted. "Kill! Kill! the mob shouted. Smith very simply placed his arm about Mary's waist, and together they waited for the end. With a yell the fakir raised his sword and thrust. Smith saw his wife fall, pierced through the heart. Red swam before his eyes, and he rushed upon the savage with clenched fists. But he saw the sword bright before him, felt a blow on his breast, and, unconscious of pain, realized that the fakir was withdrawing the hilt from his own body. In a swoop he toppled to the ground. And he remembered, with strange incongruity, that this was Thursday. He heard the yelling mob sweep onward, and with his last effort he groped toward his wife, found her hand, and held it. And then consciousness forsook him. Somebody was bending over him, stroking his forehead. He opened his eyes. He saw his wife kneeling over him. "Thank God you are alive, Arthur!" she whispered. "Are you hurt? Try to rise." He sprang to his feet, staring at her in bewilderment. There was not a wound upon her; and, looking down, he could see none on himself. "Mary! What has happened?" he cried. "I don't know, Arthur," she answered, looking at him in equal astonishment. "I thought I saw you stabbed." "And you?" he cried in wonder. And then he realized that both had been the victims of the fakir's illusion; that the man had saved them, either by sleight of hand, or by accomplishing some one of those illusions that the fakir performs for the entertainment of their audiences. They fell into each other's arms. In the distance were the dwindling cries of the mob. Their house was uninjured. And, as they stood there, they saw a troop of cavalry ride down the street, driving the mutineers before them, cutting them down with their swords. "At least, I did not desert my post," said Smith. And with sudden gratefulness to the fakir he took Mary into his arms again. They had never felt so near to one another. Smith looked up with a start. He was back in his library, and before him stood the fakir, still holding out his copper bowl and whining. "You no giveice to poor fakir?" asked the man. Smith looked up over his shoulder. When the man had entered the room the clock had pointed to twenty minutes past ten. Now it was still twenty minutes past ten. And the sentence that he man was speaking was the same as that with which he had entered the room. In less than a second the whole of the episode had been implanted upon his mind by the art of the beggar before him. He sprang to his feet. "Mary!" he called.

Everything moved swiftly, the camera men ground their machines and the director shouted encouragement through his megaphone. But about twenty feet from the bottom the horse caught his foot in a rock fissure, stumbled and hurled Miss Little over his head. She flew through the air head first, landing in a clump of mesquite bushes more than ten yards away. Spectators rushed to her side, expecting to find her either dead or seriously injured, but aside from the shock and a number of scratches she escaped unhurt. The dumb actor in the scene was less fortunate, suffering two broken legs, and had to be shot. This untoward incident in making the scene caused a complete revision of the scenario. Miss Gertrude McCoy is known as another daredevil of the screen. She gives a good account of herself in every branch of athletics, besides being a skilful driver of a motor car. Miss McCoy drives her own machine and has used it to advantage in many of the pictures in which she is starred. Her most recent exploits have been in connection with what is known in the movie vernacular as "water stuff."

Comparisons of the stellar magnitude of the planet with Capella, Procyon and Mars also show that its brightness is less than that predicted in the ephemeras. in which Billie Burke is appearing, a perfectly good seven passenger automobile is driven straight out into the Atlantic ocean off Palm Beach, Flu. This may be termed recklessness or pure extravagance, according to one's point of view. Needless to say the damage done to the car by its immersion in the salt water was considerable. To prove that the film manufacturers aren't the only people who can be reckless, Miss Burke wore a Lucile creation that had been specially designed for her use in the picture, and utterly regardless of the certain ruin of the frock she hopped out of the runaway auto as it cleared the first line of breakers, found herself up to her knees in the surf, laughed gayly and then waded ashore. Auto Jumps the Gap. In order to eliminate as much danger as possible, this scene was carefully staked beforehand; that is, everything was simplified.

But—and here the but comes in—I suppose it's all in the day's work, so I have nothing to complain of," she concluded with a laugh. The dangers have also to be faced by the camera man. An example is the recent experience of a news camera man in Mexico. A pictorial weekly representative, hearing that Villa's body was being brought to Chihuahua for identification, hurried thither. "From the time I crossed the border until I returned," he said, telling of his adventures, "I was a constant target for Mexican abuse. It was not until I reached Chihuahun, however, that any physical violence was offered. Then there was a demonstration in the market place despite the fact that I was under the protection of a Mexican army officer. Shots were fired at me and I was glad to get back to the good old U. S.

HOME TOWN HELPS Minneapolis Has Been Considering Suggestions for Improving Recreation System. Minneapolis has been studying suggestions for extending the use of parks. The subject was embodied in a report by F. S. Staley of the bureau of municipal research of the Civic and Commerce association. "The conspicuous flaw," says the report, "in the present recreation system is the inadequate provision for active play of men and women more than 20 years old. Children will come to the playgrounds almost without invitation. It is more difficult to reach adults, yet they need the outdoor life quite as much as the children. The park is a more logical center than the school and park buildings can be readily adapted to such purposes. "The park board should increase its efforts to make the parks real competitors for the saloon, the commercial dance hall and the movies. This will involve obtaining park areas adjacent to the thickly populated districts, a policy to which the board is already committed." The survey also urges a park to care for the floating population. "The thousands of men temporarily out of work," it reads, "spend their time in the saloons and cheap lodging houses, where they are permitted to sit down. This privilege is denied them in Gateway Park. Both from the health and police standpoint they are better off outdoors than in cheap houses open to them." Everyone who has visited Minneapolis will remember beautiful Lake Harriet and its park. It is surprising then to see that this report advocates publicity to advertise parks to the people of the city—Kansas City Star. PLANT TREES ON HIGHWAYS They Make Travel a Delight and Increase the Value of the Adjoining Property. Perhaps the idea of trees of one variety is a good one. But why not a variety of varieties? Also, why shade trees alone, if these be understood to eliminate all consideration of peach, apple, pear and the remainder of the 57 or more of precious memory? No man who has been a boy in rural life can see other than wisdom in the suggestion. As for willful rapine, what boy ever stole from the tree that hung its fruit invitingly over the ancient worm fence? Here is an opportunity for the present generation of farmers everywhere to do a bit of missionary work that will cause the coming race to rise up and call them blessed. They themselves will live to enjoy the sweet shadows of the trees. Every motorist will find fresh delight in the drives along the bosky roads. The value of the farm lands adjoining will be enhanced far beyond the cost of the experiment. If the shadow of a rock in a weary land moved the ancient desert prophet to a metaphor adequate to explaining the solaces of his life's lean journey, how much more highways, glistening white between an enclosing vignette of green would serve to illustrate the delights of a far better country! Profit in Paint. If paint didn't do anything, but make the family feel more cheerful and give them more pride and self-respect, it would really be worth all it costs, but in this day of high-priced lumber and building material, paint really pays two profits—pays one profit in beauty and a second profit in lumber and dollars saved. Back in the day when the South was full of magnificent timber and we didn't think of trees at all except as something mightily in the way when we wanted to clear a "new ground," back in those days a man might have lived in an unpainted house and consoled himself that he wasn't losing much except cheer and beauty. But that day has passed. It's true that painting now pays its way besides adding beauty. In other words, you can get the fun and satisfaction and good cheer that come from living in a house that's painted—you get all this "free gratis" as a sort of surplus by-product of the good common sense business deal that you make when you have your house protected by paint.—Progressive Farmer. Value of a Clean City. When a stranger visits a city the lasting impression which he carries away with him is usually his first impression. If the city is neat and attractive his first thought about it is apt to be enthusiastically favorable; if the city is unkempt and ugly he is glad to leave it, never to return. He is far more likely to come and settle down in an attractive city than he is in an unattractive one, and the citizens take an interest in and are proud of their city just in proportion to its attractiveness. It is the duty of our city to be attractive. From the recent report of the city plan commission of Newark, N. J. Simple Rules Prevent Fires. Here are some instructions given by the state's insurance department for prevention of fires: Don't put ashes in wooden boxes or barrels. Use metal cans. Don't throw hot ashes against fences or buildings. Don't fail to burn all rubbish, and don't leave it until the fire is out. Don't use fuel oil to start a fire. Don't permit rubbish, paper and greasy rags to accumulate. Their Wedding Eve By HAROLD CARTER (Copyright, 1915, by W. G. Chapman.) a little congratulatory note, saying that he was dining alone that night at the little table in Renti's, which they used to occupy, and that he would be remembering her. The house was very quiet. Everyone had gone to bed early in anticipation of the exhausting events of the Nina Suffitt sat in her bedroom and cried over a letter. It was nine in the evening. On the morrow she was to become the bride of an English nobleman. Viscount Addisleigh was a very estimable young man, very shy, and obviously half in love with her. But both had been dragged into the marriage. The days had gone so fast since the engagement that Nina had had little time to regret. It was not until Jack Tremont's letter came that the flood-tide of memory came sweeping back on her. Five years ago they had been all but engaged. He was a poor artist then, and there had been a terrific scene when her stepmother learned of her friendship for the young man, and of the little suppers at Rent's, where they had had such gay parties of young Bohemians. It had been a glimpse into the wonderful world for the girl, which closed down abruptly when she had not the strength to go her own way. She had not seen Jack since that last parting, when she had promised to write to him. And all that was five years ago. Her father's death had followed. Her stepmother, a worldly woman, only wanted to get the girl off her hands. She had been touted shamelessly in the foreign markets—that was the way with her set—and finally the viscount, with an impoverished estate, had bargained for her. At least, not he, but the family lawyer. All had been very decorous, and—well, Nina was to marry him on the morrow. She read her lover's letter again through blinding tears. It was only eichhorn Her Heart Leaped as She Saw the Well-Remembered Figure. morrow. The girl peeped out of her room. How easy it would be to escape for an hour or two, to fly to Jack, to spend one last short hour with him, before the drab life ahead of her began! She trembled; and then, with those memories of the past, she could resist no longer. She slipped on an old dress and hat and coat, and softly made her way down the stairs. She shuddered as she saw the roses that had already been entwined along the banisters, heralds of a joy that was never to be hers. Half an hour later she entered Renti's. And her heart leaped as she saw the well-remembered figure, solitary at the far table among the lights, in the midst of the gay crowd. And the years that were past seemed like a dream to her. He did not even start when she approached him, threw back her cloak and sat down facing him. "Nina, I dared dream that you would come to me," he said. "I willed it with all my power." "I had to come," answered the girl. "I could not start on my new life after I got your letter without letting you know—" "What?" he asked gravely. "That I lower you in the old days," she answered. "I should not be saying this, but my marriage is not of love, on either side." "And you will go through with it?" "Yes," she answered. He looked at her in approbation. "You never were a quitter, Nina," he answered. They dined together. It was as merry as in the old days, for they resolved to banish all care or resemblance of the present evil from their hearts. And he told her of his successes, and of his friends; some married, one dead, one traveling abroad. After the meal he lit a cigarette and they sat closer together, heedless of the passage of time. "I am glad to have seen you, Nina," he said at length. "We had a good time together. This will refresh my memory to carry it with me the rest of my days." She looked at him inquiringly. "Do you mean to say, Jack, that you still care as much as that?" she asked incredulously. He nodded. "But it's all right, my doir," he answered. "The time to fight was five years ago. I lost you then—I deserved to lose you." She was thinking very hard. The incredible thought went through her mind that if she stayed here, if she just stayed with Jack, whom she loved, nothing could ever harm her, nobody would ever know. If she stayed—She glanced at the clock, and was horrified to see that it was midnight. She sprang to her feet in alarm. "I must go, Jack," she said. He conducted her gravely from the restaurant. They were the last to leave. The yawning waiters watched them reproachfully as they went out. The street was brilliant with revolving signs. Crowds hurrying from the theaters blocked them. There came the sound $d!$ music from the restaurants, and the voices of the diners. "It was happy," said Nina wristfully. "Yes," he said. "I shall see you to your door, Nina." She looked at him in alarm. "No!" she said. "I must go in softly, Jack, I must steal in. I can get on a car and then get off in front of the house." He took her hands in his, and at the very last he lost his self-control. "Stay with me, Nina," he whispered. "Stay! You have no one you care for. Be my wife. I can't lose you now, Nina. Will you?" The temptation was terrible. She fought it down silently before she could answer. "Only Jack, that I never was a quitter, as you said," she answered. "It wouldn't be honorable—that's all." He let her hands go, and she turned away. Then a newsboy came racing along the street. "Grant fire!" he yelled. "All about the Suffitt fire!" The headlines made her reel. She snatched a paper from the boy's hand. The Suffitt house was blazing. The fire engines were unable to control it. The entire block was threatened." There was no further word between them. She sprang on a car and Jack took his seat beside her. But many yards from the house the cars were blocked in the jam. The house was a blazing ruin. Men were searching within it valyly for her. Nina heard the words that passed among the crowd. "All safe but the bride!" "No chance of finding her now in that furnace!" "Poor thing, and on her marriage eve!" She reeled into Jack's arms. Unrecognized in the crowd, she fought out her problem. If she were dead—all would be well. The viscount, honorably released, as herself, her cold-hearted stepmother, hardly distressed— She clung to her escort's arm. "Jack, take me away!" she wept. "Take me away. I will go with you now. My past life lies buried—somewhere in there!" FOR BALL-BEARING PARTS Measuring Machine That Is Infinitely More Sensitive Than a Human Being. The average person has little conception of the accuracy with which it is necessary to work on some classes of machinery. Ball-bearing parts, for instance, are produced in large quantities, yet in some cases the limit of error is placed at one-tenth of one-thousandth of an inch or about one-twentieth the thickness of a human hair. The human sense of touch is coarse in comparison. A multiple indicator described in Popular Science is a very satisfactory device for measuring parts that must be accurately gauged without loss of time. The machine consists of a substantial base plate with an accurately ground, hardened steel facing and an integral standard carrying a measuring appliance. The dial indicator reads in thousands of an inch, each graduation representing a one-thousandth inch movement of the indicator stem. The work to be measured is placed under the measuring point on the multiplying lever. As this is very near the fulcrum, a relatively slight motion will be changed to one of ten times that magnitude at the dial indicator. If the work is but one-thousandth inch larger or smaller than the standard, the pointer of the indicator will move over ten graduations on the dial. An error of one-tenth of a thousandth will move the pointer one graduation. Elephants Not Cowards. The fear an elephant has for a rat has often been spoken of as an example of colossal cowardice. But it is nothing of the kind. The elephant, when captive and in chains, has every reason to regard with terror the little rodent, which, in the still watches of the night, gnaws the toenails of the helpless pachyderm. Not much of this sort of thing is required to make the huge creature lame. By such attack, not long ago, three young elephants belonging to Hagenback's outfit were so badly injured that they had to be shot. Copra Trade Important The trade in copra, which is the dried meat of coconuts, is one of the important trade lines of the world's markets, copra giving forth coco oil, which has many uses, its principal use being in the making of soap by the great soap manufacturers of the world. Coco butter has also come to be an important article of world commerce, and much dried coconut meat is used throughout the world in the confectionery business. Pheasants Hear Zennelins A Zeppelin raid over the east coast of Scotland was announced in a curious manner by phensants. At midnight a colony of young birds became extraordinary clamorous, the sound, it is said, resembling a long-drawn wall. An old man who knows all about phensants was awakened out of his sleep by the noise, and remarked—"Something is gain to happen." A few minutes later the sound of bursting bombs was heard, and the sky became inflamed. It is of course, a fact of natural history that phensants, like all hunted creatures, great and small, are peculiarly sensitive of hearing. PLEA FOR BED AS IT WAS Modern Things That Masquerade as Such Are Properly Condemned by Chicago Newspaper. Modern life, having succeeded in eliminating economy from the list of virtues, is now, apparently, conducting a drive against sleep, which the older authorities numbered among mankind's blessings. People, city people in particular, seem to be ashamed of the fact that they must sleep. Tired nature's sweet restorer, sore labor's bath, that which knits up the raveled sleeve of care—the inventor of which was so praised by Sancho Panza, prince of souls, is in displease. This tendency to conceal the fact that sleep still falls upon mankind is strikingly illustrated by modern furniture. The bed that was frankly a bed is being thrust into the background as something to be ashamed of. Its place is taken by various kinds of monstrosities that masquerade as other articles of furniture in the daytime, and, indeed, far into the night, confessing that they can be made to serve as beds only when frivolity can no longer stand or sit, but must, perforce, become recumbent. The bookcase, the piano, the bathtub, the mirror, the closet door, the Morris chair—these may at any moment, by the pulling of a strap or the pressing of a spring, be revealed as sleeping utensils—beds one cannot fairly call them. And they function as beds in a diffident, half-hearted way, as if ashamed of the office. Jacks of many trades, they are masters of none. Until sleep itself becomes obsolete the human race must have beds of some sort, and the more comfortable they are the better. No sleeping implement disguised as a phonograph, a bird cage or a cook stove can take the place of the old-fashioned piece of furniture that was a bed and nothing else.-Chicago News. Japan's Factory Law. Operation under the new factory law in Japan, which was to have gone into effect on June 1, has been postponed for two months by order of the privy council in order that the regulations may be revised. These it is pointed out, did not sufficiently guard the interests of the workers and would result in confusion if at once enforced. To the working people of the United States the hours of labor permitted under the new law will meen extraordinary long, but it must be remembered that factory work is young in Japan and that the working hours are founded on the hours voluntarily devoted to work by the people on the farms or in their own workshops—twelve to sixteen hours a day. The most important thing is the forbidding of child work under 10 years and limiting the hours of girls under 15. It is, on the whole, an advance on conditions as they have been and will open the way to further concessions to labor. Linen Growing Scarcer. Summing up the linen situation recently, one of the principal importers to this market spoke this way: "Bustiness is as active as it ever is at this time of the year, when everyone is trying to reduce stocks as far as possible before taking inventory, and orders are placed only for goods that are really needed to meet some special demand or to fill out a broken line. Flax continues to get scarcer and dearer as time goes on, and linens of all kinds are also getting scarcer and dearer. This will continue, at least until the war ends. In many cases merchandise is still being let out in this market below the cost of replacement, and this will be done as long as present methods of averaging up buying and selling prices are retained."—New York Times. New Bug Killer. A new piece of agricultural apparatus has been developed for the purpose of combating the destructive bugs and undesirable vegetable growths by an application of steam to the soil penetrating some distance below the surface. The machine carries a steam generating plant and moves over the surface on a large drum, the periphery of which is staggered with protruding stream outlets in the shape of blades or spines. As the apparatus is drawn over the ground the spines imbed themselves in the soil and while in this position the steam is released and penetrates the soil for some distance around the outlet, killing the worms, larvae and bugs and the undesirable crop of weeds which seed themselves from one season to another. Hearing Your Men at Work The manager of a machine shop or factory can know how much work is being done at benches by mechanics or by power-driven machines or tools by means of microphones or telephone transmitters connected with the working apparatus, says Popular Science. By becoming familiar with the vibrations of the different machines he can tell at any given moment just how fast Pat is working the lathe, or how industriously Mike is operating the milling machine on one of his blue Mondays. In addition to this he can tell at a simple turn of the switch if the machines are running at normal speed and smoothly and properly, as they should. Not a Picnic "I have lived in the city all my life and I would like to know whether farm life is rigorous. Is it?" asks a Public Mind girl. "If you'll drop out some place west of Wichita some day this month and watch mother and the girls cooking for a regiment of harvest workers you'll find that farm life in the summer is not exactly a tea party. —Kansas City Star. Repress Emotion A well-known author has said: "The great critical moment in our lives is when we choose which emotion to express. We become what we choose. In this way we develop our character and are responsible for our character." This is true and nothing is more foolish than permitting every little chance incident of the hour to ruffle the spirits. NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS House Debates Whether Wife Is Member of Family WASHINGTON.—There have been some interesting debates in the house of representatives recently, and for reasons best known to the general public these debates have not yet seen the light of print save in the gloomy For instance, it was not long ago when the national house of representatives debated the question of whether a wife is a part of a man's family. This is not a joke. It really happened. It was while the Hay resolution was being discussed in a tumult which reminded old-timers of a town meeting. This resolution provided money for dependent families of National Guardmen. They stuck in the father and mother and little brothers and sisters and the children, amid cheers at each addition. In the midst of this wild clamor up rose a tall Kansas man and solemnly demanded that the word "wife" be inserted then and there. He argued that there were reasons for this; that certain volcanic actions on the part of cross-grained courts, presided over presumably, by woman-hating bachelors or cowardly hepecked husbands, made it necessary that whenever the national legislature is making laws for the benefit of the family, the word "wife" must be written in with indelible ink in capital letters, so as to prevent the woman of the house from being robbed of her due. Then we house batted the suggestion back and forth like a basket ball. Some of them said the Kansas man was right and some of them said he was wrong. In the melee no one seems to remember whether the wife got into the resolution or not. Uncle Sam's Campaign to Safeguard Milk Supply Uncle Sam's Campaign to Safeguard Milk Supply THE milk you drink interests Uncle Sam. He recognizes it to be one of the most easily contaminated and easily spoiled foods in existence and at the same time one of the foods in most general use. The dairy division the fact that it costs the producer more to insure scrupulous cleanliness of the milk supply than it does to place on the market the usual mediocre product or the dirty, dangerous milk that is offered under the worst conditions. The attitude of the dairy division is that pure milk costs more but is decidedly worth it, and the experts in their campaigns attempt to impress this truth on three interested groups—the consumers, the producers and distributers and the municipal and state authorities who have in charge the enforcement of the local food regulations. When the federal specialists go into a community to co-operate with the local health officials they first make a thorough investigation of the milk supply and its regulation, and finally locate the producers of the milk that is below grade, and visit their farms. The attitude toward these producers is not one of condemnation. The experts go instead to their farms to help them to better their sanitary conditions. They look to the health of the herds and their attendants, the sanitary condition of the barns, the proper cleaning and sterilization of all utensils and the methods for insuring a sufficiently low temperature for the milk. In the educational campaigns the responsibility of the consumer in the matter of temperature also is emphasized. The specialists point out that however carefully the producer and distributer has handled the milk, it is likely to spoil if permitted to remain exposed to the sun or in a warm room after delivery. Two Washington Policemen Adopt Tramp Pigeons Two Washington Policemen Adopt Tramp Pigeons POLICEMEN CHARLES M. BIKKIGHT AND JOHN MAHER of the Seventh precinct have adopted a flock of trump pigeons. Both men are stationed at the Georgetown terminus of the Acqueduct bridge. They take turn about on the crossing there, and the under the crossing man's arm traffic cannot touch them, and they feed tranquilly while street cars, motor trucks and lighter machines and wagons pass all around them. Birkight and Maher have been stationed at the bridge for years. When Birkight first got the assignment he was attracted to the tramp pigeons that roost and breed in the overhead trusswork and in the girders under the bridge floor. He made friends with them. Later Maher came to the crossing, alternating with Birkight. He, too, made friends with the pigeons. They seemed to demand this friendship of him, swooping down on the crossing when the man in uniform put up his umbrella. Now neither man ever goes to his post on the eight to four o'clock trick without a pocketful of food for those birds. Senator Martine Gave His Dog Suitable Burial Senator Martine Gave His Dog Suitable Burial SENATOR MARTINE of New Jersey had a dog. It was not much of a dog, taking it by and large, but it had been a member of Martine's household for a long time and he was attached to it. A while ago the dog died, from a hands, wondering what to do with it will readily appreciate that the situation would soon become acute. To Martine's delight he learned that there is in Washington an ultraexclusive dog cemetery, intended only for dead dogs of high social standing.

Today a neat little marble headstone marks the spot where the Martine dog made its final descent into the bosom of the earth. public these debates have not yet seen columns of the Congressional Record. At almost any time one can drop into the house and get a thrill, but owing to the news from the Mexican, Austrian, Galician and other harried borders it takes more than a speech in congress to get a rise out of a newspaper these days. Perhaps it is for that reason that the orators of congress are seeking new fields in their endeavor to start a little something in the way of publicity.

Senator Martine was insistent that the dog should have a decent and proper burial. He was living in a Washington apartment house at the time, and the finding of a suitable burial plot was a problem. He could not go out in the backyard and hold his funeral, because there wasn't any backyard.

Along The Isonzo RAILWAY BRIDGE IN ISONZO VALLEY CONTRARY to popular belief, his enemy from the Isonzo river, along which a bronsword, the Italians made their first One of the m attack against Austria and where their lines held firmly against the vigorous Teutonic offensive, is not the boundary line between the two countries, but lies wholly within Austrian territory, from two to twelve miles from the border. Its source is near the juncture of the Carneic and Julian Alps, on Mount Terglion, the loftiest peak of the latter range, and it follows a tortuous channel for 75 miles, emptying into the Gulf of Trieste, says the National Geographic society bulletin. So turbulent are the Isonzo's waters that the river is practically unnavigable, except for the few miles of its estuary where its course is through a rapidly extending delta. On its way through the alluvial plain it is known as the Sdobba, whose mouth is less than 20 miles from the important Austrian port of Trieste lying to the southeast. The Isonzo is the principal river of the country and crown-land of Gora and Gradisca, which have an area about equal to that of Rhode Island. This principality and two other crown-lands, Istria and Trieste, constitute Austria's kustenland (coast land). Was Highly Productive Valley. Before the devastation wrought by the war, the valley of the Isonzo was a highly productive region, agriculture and vine-growing being the chief occupations of that part of the population (mainly Italian) which was not engaged in silk-worm culture. The leading city of the Isonzo valley is Goritz (Gorz), with 30,000 inhabitants, known as the Nice of Austria on account of its popularity as a fashionable resort. Its growth coincides with the decline of Aquilelia, now an insignificant town of less than 3,000 people, situated to the southwest, six miles from the sea, but which was reckoned the ninth city of the Roman empire and a great seaport during the closing years of the fourth century. It is about 20 miles from Goritz to the Italian frontier. The place is a center of trunkline railways to the Italian cities of Venice in the south- SUBURBS SUBURBS OF GORITZ west and Undine in the northwest, and to the Austrian cities of Trieste in the southeast and Klagenfurt in the north. The situation of Goritz is a picturesque one, greatly enhanced by the rare pleasure gardens that have been called into being by the winter guests. It is built on the left bank of the Isonzo river. The worn rocks of the old castle ruins of the counts of Goritz dominate the city from the hillside. The castle is now used partly as a barracks and partly as an arsenal. The cathedral, built in the fourteenth century, is another interesting monument to the city's past. Where theodoric Defeated Odoacer. The fighting which is now occurring on the Isonzo recalls the great battle of the Isontius (Isonzo) in the fifth century, where the Roman emperor Odoacer met signal defeat at the hands of Theodoric, the Ostrogoth. The vanquished leader was driven back to Ravenna, where, after a protracted siege a truce was agreed upon. During the parley Odoacer fell before the treacherous Ostrogoth, who clove Real Cause of Baldness. Men cut their hair short and women do not, and it is a popular impression among men that cutting the hair increases the growth. If it does, it must be a very limited aid to growth, says the American Magazine. The real causes of baldness in men, according to those who have carefully studied the subject, are the hats they wear. Women also wear hats, but theirs are fastened to their hair and do not grip the head. The tight-fitting hats men wear interfere with the nourishment of the roots of the hair. They compress certain arteries, veins and nerves, with the result that the hair is retarded in its growth. The main vessels carrying nourishment to the roots of the hair are in front of the ears on the underside of the skin and are easily compressed between the skin and the skull. "Nora has just dropped another plate," said Mrs. Twobble. "Well, my dear," replied Mr. Twobble, "suppose you go into the kitchen and drop a hint to that effect that his enemy from shoulder to flank with a broadsword. One of the most interesting natural phenomena of the Isonzo district is the short Timavus river, which empties into the Gulf of Trieste five miles from the mouth of the larger watercourse. The Timavus gushes from a mountainside, fullformed, in three streams of sufficient volume to float small vessels at the very source. In Virgil's day, according to the description in the Aeneid, the Timavus rushed from the rocks in nine streams. The river is supposed to be a continuation of the equally unique Reka, whose waters disappear in the grottoes of Sankt Kanzan, some 20 miles southeast of the mysterious Timavus. MAZATLAN IS A BUSY PORT Rich Products of Mexico Are Shipped From the Pacific Coast Metropolis. Mazatlan, Mexico's metropolis of the Pacific coast, reported to have been the scene of an unprovoked attack upon officers and men from the American gunboat Annapolis, is thus described in the National Geographic society's war geographic bulletin: The north entrance to its harbor, marked by a lighthouse perched on the crest of an enimence called Cerro del Creston, making it one of the loftiest guides to navigation in the world. Mazatlan is the chief entrepot for one of the richest mining sections of the southern republic. It not only exports the gold and silver from its own intensely wealthy state of Sinalao (estimated by some experts to have the most valuable mineral deposits in Mexico) but it also handles the ore shipments by sea of Zacatecas and Durango. The city, which has a population of 20,000, is situated on a small peninsula opposite the Bay of Olas Altas (High Waves), and is surrounded by coconut groves. The aspect of the territory adjacent to Mazattan is little affected by the prosperity of the report. The Indians live in the same type of huts which they have occupied since the Spanish conquest and perhaps for centuries be- OF GORITZ fore that. The strip of lowland along the shore has a tropical climate, with an abundance of rain. Beyond this verdant margin to the East rises the towering, thickly wooded Sierra Madre range. Among the rich products of Mexico's fertile fields, undersea caves and riven hills which find their way to the outside world through the Mazatlung gateway are rubber, gums, dyewoods, silver, copper, gold, lead, pearls, tortoiseshell, salted fish, and cabinet woods. The city's manufacturing activities include saw mills, cotton factories and rope works. Fourteen years ago Mazatlan was almost depopulated by a frightful epidemic of bubonic plague which surpassed in severity some of the most terrible ravages of the "black death" in Europe during the middle ages. According to one authority only 4,000 people out of a total of 18,000 were spared, and more than a thousand houses were burned in an effort to stay the march of the disease. During the last decade sanitary conditions have been improved greatly. she must not break any more china? "Evidently you don't know how to manage Nora.
