During the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta, Ga., in 1895, Dr. I. Garland Penn, a commissioner of Negro Exhibits, anxious to demonstrate to the world the great advancement and the attainments of our people in every profession and avocation, induced the large number of Colored physicians and Colored surgeons who were in attendance to organize themselves into a National Association. The late Dr. R. F.

Hence Boyd can justly be termed the father of the National Association. The next meeting was held in Nashville, Tenn., during the Centennial Celebration in October, 1897. Year by year since then the association has grown both numerically and intellectually until it is now recognized as a potent factor in stimulating loftier professional ideas, higher degrees of efficiency and giving our race such bits of sanitary advice as will finally, figure materially in reducing our death rate.

If more of us would talk less, think more and settle down on the practical side of life, paying greater attention to loyalty, economy and sensible living, we would be a better people. If we extend our professed race pride and boasted desire for advancement, beyond the narrow limit of words and take a real live interest in helping to build up Colored enterprise, we would show that our professions are sincere — not imaginary nor on the surface. There is much that we can do for ourselves that would count in the way of real advancement. We need OFFICERS AND DISTINGUISH 1. Ulysses Grant Dailey, President 2. Dr. J. A.

Savannah, Go...The Savannah Union Station was a black paradise today, when nearly 1,100 Colored laborers, ranging in age from 21 to 45 years, started for Philadelphia on two special trains. They are to work along the lines of the Pennsylvania railroad. A crowd of 2,500 relatives and friends crowded into the station and down to the train shed to see them off. Policemen had some difficulty in restraining the crowd which surged up against the gates when they were opened to admit those who were to board trains. PRICE, 5c. Magnificent Gathering The Seventeenth Annual Session of the National Negro Business League Brings Together a Distinguished Array of the Successful Business and Professional Men and Women of the Race 10,000 PEOPLE HEAR MEMORIAL EXERCISES IN HONOR OF DR. WASHINGTON The Sixteenth Annual Session of the Negro Business League was opened at 10:30 yesterday morning by Fortune J. Weaver, president of the local business league. Mr. Weaver in opening the league told of the work in Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas, and how glad they were to have the leaders come to this city. Acting Mayor, J. L. Beach, delivered an address of welcome to the city. He said that the Mayor was out of the city, hence it was his duty and pleasure to extend welcome to the visitors. He referred to the progress made by the Negro race since his emancipation by that great statesman, Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Beach spoke of the progress made by the Negroes of Kansas City and made special reference to Fortune J. Weaver and W. C. Hueston. He also said in his remarks that there was no city in America that had a higher set of Negroes from standpoint of honesty, intelligence and integrity than Kansas City. At the closing he was given an ovation. Mr. T. B. Watkins, of Watkins Bross, undertakers, and a member of the executive committee of the local league of Greater Kansas City, delivered a welcome address for the secret organizations. The Hon. W. C. Hueston represented the business and professional men and women in his address of welcome. Bref. J. Dellas Negroes represented Prof. J. Dallas Bowser represented MR. Q. J. GILMORE. the citizens, in which address he made particular reference to the many kind words extended by the acting mayor. He was followed by Mme. Becks, chairman of the committee of homes, whose address of welcome on the part of the ladies' clubs was received with hearty applause. Here President Weaver turned the gavel over to the Hon. Chas. Banks, first vice-president, who proceeded with the National program. After announcements by the official announcer, Prof. G. A. Page, of Page's Shoe Store, Mr. Banks introduced Hon. Perry W. Howard, prominent Jackson, Miss. attorney, who responded, Mr. Howard said in part: "The acting mayor was so profusive in his remarks that I was reminded of an experience I had while teaching back in the country. There was a white minister in that country who came out frequently to preach to the colored people, and on one occasion he became extraordinarily full of the holy ghost, which seemed to extend to all the congregation. But there was one sister who was evidently unable to govern her emotions, so when the services were over, she said, 'look here, Mr. Preacher, you is a white man, alright, but you sho' is got a black man's heart.'" Mr. Howard also made special mention of the untiring efforts that the colored women have put forth to make the League a success. He said further that the men of our race in the Southland are doing their best to protect the name of the Negro women of this country and prove to the world that they sit on the race's highest pinnacle. Mr. Henry Allen Boyd, of the Nashville Globe also responded to the ad dresses of welcome. "I assure you," he said, "as an audience made up of every kind of business from every state in the Union, as well as those from the twin cities of Kansas City that we appreciate the hearty welcome that has been extended to us, and we assure you that we will continue to enjoy this welcome which has been so royally given, especially by the committee which met us at the station, for in the face of the fact that many of us are from the southland, had you not been there, we would have been at sea as to what to do, seeing the kind of red caps we met. "We want to thank the Mayor of this city," he continued, who has turned over to us the keys of this great city, which is so noted as a manufacturing center and great packing market, from which we get our best meats, it is said. "We want to assure you that while many of us are here for the first time, and you perhaps have never before heard of us, that you will not be ashamed of us. We are your guests and we came to show you just some of the things for which the Negro stands. We came to you and we are here representing every line of business and profession to be found in the United States or the Island of the sea, or wherever there is a black face to be seen. "There is a mistaken idea as to whether the Negro is able to establish and maintain successfully bigger business, so I bring to you assurance that the Negro can run, operate and maintain a business that will stand like von Glhattach." At the close of this response, Mr. David Chiles, nephew of Mr. Nick Chiles, fearless editor of the Topeka Plaindealer, was accompanied to the platform. Here he stood, somewhat modest in his attire of brown gingham shirt and work trousers, but cheerful and steady nevertheless. Mr. Chiles has been farming forty-eight years, and spoke on "How to Make Truck Farming a Success." He said he began with twenty-five cents in money, a stout heart and a rented piece of land down near Nashville, Tenn. After two years' time he had established $100 in credit, which he took in one lump sum, without the necessity of giving a note for same, and proceeded to purchase a mule and farm implements. The next year he doubled the amount of his credit. "After farming fourteen years in my neighborhood, the people I rented from informed me that the land was to be sold 'to settle an estate,' but that that could not sell to a Negro. I tried several times to buy it, and the last time I told them to tell everybody that Dave Chiles was going to leave Tennessee and if I owed them anything to come and get it. Some came that I did not owe anything to, but I paid all who came, and then told family to pack up and get ready to move. I left with clean hands and made my way to Kansas, where I bought sixty acres of land at $100 an acre. Later I bought another twenty, off of which I raised over $700 worth of watermelons the first year, almost enough to clear the farm." Mr. Chiles is now worth about $25,000, because he always stuck to truck farming, even though men at times around him might be making $10 a day and he only a quarter. He said the best way to succeed in anything was to stick to the business. Mr. Samuel Charles, of Pensacola, Fla. was the last speaker. Mr. Charles is in the shoe repairing and retail shoe business. "Possibilities of the Negro in the Shoe Business," was his subject, from which he spoke some thirty minutes, after which he was closely questioned. Before speaking he showed pictures of his West End shoe store, his downtown shoe store, and both his winter and summer homes. Mr. Charles tabulated his business as follows: Inventory Dec. 31, 1915, $7,000 in stock; purchase from Jan. 1, 1916 to June 31, 1916, shoes, $3,785, leather $1,327.25, findings $350.54, rubber heels $494.27, other stock $275; total $6,212.69, or a grand total of $13,212.69. Sales Jan. 1, 1916 to June 31, 1916 $8,000, profit at 25 per cent gross, or $2,000, expenses to be deducted $1,061, leaving a net profit of $39 for six months, or about $156 per month. He employs four repairers and two clerks, his son operates one store and seventy per cent of his trade is white. Yesterday afternoon the League sessions were set aside in order that in the evening the crowds of visitors and delegates might rest up to attend the services which had been planned in honor of the memory of the late founder and only president of the National Negro Business League. And last night for more than an hour men and women filed down the big corridors of Convention Hall and slid silently into their seats awaiting with abaited breath the sound of the gavel that opened the biggest meeting of its kind ever held west of the Mississippi river. At 8:30 the Hon. Charles H. Calloway of Kansas City, in a short but most begitting opening speech introduced the Hon. Charles Banks, first vice-president of the League, to the audience. Mr. Banks opened the Memorial services in recalling the time when Mr. Washington conceived the idea that later developed or materialized into the N. N. B. L. The brief, but terse, beautiful and elegant eulogies that were delivered to this great man's memory were rather majestic: Mr. Napler made a special appeal that the League be carried on to its highest possible success, as this was Mr. Washington's desire. Mrs. M. E. Joenberger, of Fort Smith, Ark., read a most pleasing paper. She is one of the few women life members of the League, and also long time friend of the Washington family. Dr. Robert R. Moton, Mr. Washington's successor, delivered a forceful eulogy. The people discovered in him a man of dynamic speech, the effect of which was noticeable PETER J. H. by the applause given him on rising to and leaving the platform. Mr. Fred R. Moore, intrepid editor of the New York Age, spoke directly upon Mr. Washington's statesmanship, upon the faith the body politic of this country had in the man and his work. Mr. Moore also made an earnest appeal to the people of race to rally to the call and raise the $250,000 that the white people of the country expect them to raise in lieu of the $1,000,000 they have raised toward a monument to the fallen apostle of industrial education. The last eulogy was delivered by Col. Roscoe C. Simmons, nephew of the lamented leader and an able editor in Louisville, Ky. The colonel is an orator, and while the crowd showed signs of restlessness and a few began to leave he reached out, metaphorically speaking, and brought them flocking back. A great characterization he made of Mr. Washington in the various comparisons with other great figures in American history. The Memorial Address, which the people wanted most to hear because it was to be delivered by the closest associate of Mr. Washington, was a masterpiece, delivered by man possessed of a master mind. This address was delivered after special music had been rendered by the Allen Chapel choir, under direction of Prof. R. G. Jackson, and a selection by both Major N. Clark Smith's male chorus and concert band, also another special feature of the evening was a tenor solo by Mr. E. R. Robinson. Prof. Emmett J. Scott, Tuskogee's secretary and the League's secretary, made this memorial address to a spell-bound audience. At the outset he said: "Not by invitation, but by command of the first vice president and the chairman of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League I stand here tonight to pay homage to the memory of the man who was not only the founder of our great organization, but the leader of his people in America, and one of the foremost thinkers of the [Name] world, irrespective of race, creed or color. "You knew him as man and as friend know what Kipling meant when he said: 'There is neither East nor West, border nor breed nor birth. When two strong men stand face to face, tho' they come from the ends of the earth. "He gripped men to him with hooks of steel. He loved and was loved of men." Then he went on to speak of the Southern white man's attitude toward Mr. Washington, and the Northern white man's attitude toward him, how he so he liver that both sections loved and respected him for what he was and for what he did. And after speaking of Mr. Washington's love for the southland, he spoke of Mr. Washington's religious vision, quoting his favorite passages of Scripture: "I loved him as the son loves the father in whom he sees the embodied glory of high ideals, garnered wisdom and experience. He taught me by his daily life that it is worth while to live loyalty with and for one's higher self. I owe him much. I shall never cease to recall his sweet, tran quil spirit, his charm of manner, his youthful zest in the joy of work, his love for and faith in his fellow man "His life will shine with steady radiance as the years come and go. Let us hearken to the call he sounded for brave, patriotic service; let us press forward, strong and unafraid, with patience and firm resolve, with the lessons of his devoted life ever before us, to advance the cause for which he was willing to live, for which he was willing to work, and finally, for which he was willing to die." SECOND DAY'S SESSION. The program as near as possible was followed precisely. After the usual opening services, the symposium, "Health and Business Prosperity," was discussed by J. R. Levy, Florence, S. C. Dr. R. R. Motor, Dr. T. C. Unthank and Dr. Mallory made excellent remarks on the same subject. Next "The Pythian Bath House; How Conducted," was discussed by J. T. T. Warren of Hot Springs. Managing Kansas City's Only Negro Shoe Store, was explained by G. A. Page, Kansas City. The Insurance Business was next discussed by Mr. Geo. W. Cox, President of the Savings Bank of Indiana, Miss. Mr. Cox has a high repu- tation among the white bankers of the entire state of Mississippi. Col. Simmons was next introduced to speak on the great photoplay, "The Birth of a Race," now being filmed as an answer to the "Birth of a Nation." Mr. Simmons then introduced Mr. E. L. Barker, a film magnate, himself an author, and a friend of the Negro. Mr. Barker invited all members of the audience to see him and present any ideas that they might feel would be of benefit in getting up this play, or to send suggestions to the Birth of a Race Film Corporation, First National Bank Building, Chicago, Ill. He will be in the city until Saturday, and is attending all sessions. His associate, Mr. A. W. Wheeler, is the scenario writer looking after that end of the work. One million dollars has been placed behind this movement, and it is intended that the play will be a most complete answer to the play that has been sent abroad throughout the land to cast a stigma upon the name of our race. Mr. Emmett J. Scott will characterize the play, using Dr. Booker T. Washington's "Up From Slvery" as his subject matter. After Mr. Barker's announcement the league adjourned to meet at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, 9th and Washington Blvd., Kansas City, Kas., at 8 p. m. The most magnificent pageant composed entirely of Negroes ever seen in this section of the country was viewed yesterday afternoon by more than fifteen thousand Negroes of this city and hundreds of visitors to the League meetings. In order named in the earlier issues of The Daily Sun, the parade formed at 18th street and the Paseo and followed the line of march mapped out by the Marshal of the day and Commander of the parade, Mr. Gilmore. Erect and well-uniformed officers and fraternal companies, mounted and some afoot, boy scouts, bands with 9 martial airs, beautifully gowned ladies, gallant men and floats of business enterprises made up this most timely and historic affair. METROPOLITAN BAPTIST CHURCH OVERCROWDED WHEN SECOND NIGHT'S MEETING IS HELD There were many people unable to gain entrance to last night's session of the Negro Business League which was held in the Metropolitan Baptist Temple, corner 9th and Washington boulevard, Kansas City, Kans. As far as possible, the program was adhered to and proved very profitable. The paper by Mr. Ernest T. Attwell on Business Efficiency was particularly well received, because it touched every man's business. At a later date we hope to be able to publish some excerpts from this most excellent address. A feature which proved a pleasant surprise to the delegates was an automobile ride from the Paseo across the Inter-City viaduct to Minnesota avenue where Major N. Clark Smith's band and a committee of Kansas side citizens escorted them to the church. Industrial and Fraternal Parade The parade formed at 2 p. m. at 18th and the Paseo and traversed the following route: East on 17th, from the Paseo to Woodland, north on Woodland to 15th, west on 15th to Grand avenue, south on Grand avenue to 19th, east on 19th to McGee, north on McGee to 18th, east on 18th, passing in review before the Mayor of the City at 18th and Paseo, east on 18th to Woodland to Lincoln Park to disband. By order of the Grand Parade Committee. The parade formation was made up as follows: First Division Military Division Motorcycle Police. Motorcycle Police. Escorp: Mounted Nogged Police.

Automobiles of the General Public. Friday Morning Session at 9 o'Clock in the Pavilion at Lincoln Electric Park. This program on Friday morning will consist of addresses by successful business and professional men and women of the race, who will come from all parts of the country, giving detailed account of the methods pursued in making their business a success, followed by a general discussion from the floor by persons who may become interested. There will also be different exhibits representing different business enterprises. This being the last general session of the convention this program will be followed by the annual election of officers. All these sessions are of special interest and importance to young Negro men and women who are not at present engaged in any line of business. Hearing addresses from men and women who have succeeded in business augurs a stimulant to any young man or young woman. To all of these sessions the public is cordially invited.

The National Postal Alliance. The National Postal Alliance is an organization composed of the Colored men in all parts of the country who are employed by the government, including railway postal clerks, letter carriers and postoffice clerks. This organization, of which Mr. Arthur K. Bruce of Chattanooga, Tenn., is the president, has agreed to hold their banquet in conjunction with the banquet of the Business League at Convention Hall and have already engaged two hundred and twenty plates. Mr. Charles E. A. Starr is the chairman of the arrangement committee. His address is 1126 Washington boulevard, Kansas City, Kansas. Saturday's Outing. On Saturday morning the delegates will be taken around the famous Cliff Drive in automobiles and will have an opportunity to see this world-famous driveway. On Saturday afternoon delegates, visitors and a number of citizens from Kansas City will leave for Chicago, where they will be the guests of Hon. Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck & Co. Through Secretary Emmet J. Scott, Mr. Rosenwald has invited the League to come to Chicago and spend a day inspecting the magnificent plant of this famous mail order house. The members of the League and visitors will also be Mr. Rosenwald's guests for luncheon. As the advance guard of an army plays no small part in the activities of an engagement, so it is that the advance agents of the National Negro Business League have played an encouraging part to the success of the Seventeenth Annual Session of this organization of the brain and wealth of our people. Mr. Albon L. Holsey, a worker in the Principal's office of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, of Tuskegee, Alabama, and who has seen due service under Dr. Booker T. Washington, showed well his tact and power to organize men in full working form, and deserves the thankful consideration of all concerned. Mr. Holsey is now the National Organizer of the League, in view of his real worth. Principal Jesse O. Thomas, of the Voorhees Normal and Industrial Institute of Denmark, South Carolina, was also one of the advance agents. Principal Thomas was more than fitted to his task, as he had served for a number of years as Northern Fi M. IN MEMBER, Cincinnati, Ohio, editor of the Monitor and President of the National Negro Press Association. FREDERICK ROWLING FREDERICK DOUGLAS, Whose magnificent struggles of 50 y ears made possible the demonstration of yes tarday. nancial Agent of Tuskegee, Aside from being a good worker, Principal Thomas has a real gift of speaking which naturally holds his hearers—an oratory which is real, plain, to the point and forceful. It is with the unselfish efforts of such men as these, possessing a technical knowledge of their work, that really goes for the success of any organization, and in this respect the Seventeenth Annual Session of the National Negro Business League was well blessed. MRS. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON ADDRESS WOMEN'S CLUBS. Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock Mrs. Booker T. Washington, wife of the late Dr. B. T. Washington, was presented to the Federated Clubs of Colored Women of Greater Kansas City, in the "gym" room of the Colored Y. M. C. A. on the Paseco.

Indianapolis, Ind.—By a unanimous vote the Baptist Ministers' Alliance of this city decided they would attend the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated, which meets in Kansas City, Mo., September 6-12th. In accordance with this, a committee on transportation, consisting of Drs. James H. Holder, J. D. Johnson and Wm. Z. Thomas, was appointed and after they had made their report the arrangements were at once perfected to have the representatives of the various organizations and the pastors and ministers throughout the state assemble in Indianapolis preparatory to leave this city at midnight September 4th using the Pennsylvania Railroad direct to St. Louis. Out of St. Louis they are to use the Chicago and Alton Railroad, which will enable the delegation to arrive in Kansas City at 5:35 p. m., Tuesday, September 5th. Rev. W. Z. Thomas, D. D., is chairman of the delegation and is one of the leading factors in the state. He declared that the greatest representation that Indiana has ever sent to any national meeting would go to Kansas City. He is president of the Sunday School Convention and only last week was in attendance at the state convention held at New Albany, where these plans were further consumed. SOUTH CAROLINA GOING TO KAN SAS CITY. Columbia, S. C.—Nothing remains now in the way of a doubt as to where the South Carolina delegation will go in September. The matter has long been settled and South Carolina, according to the last information received from Dr. J. J. Durham, of this city, the president of the South Carolina Baptist State Convention, will go practically solid to Kansas City. Only last week the representatives of the various railroads were in this city and after a conference with many of the leaders it was decided that the recommendation of the committee appointed to look after the route and the transportation be accepted. "The Carolina special" route, which goes over the Southern Railway north, has been selected. In other words, such leaders as Drs. R. Kemp, J. J. Durham, J. D. Brooks, E. W. Bowen, with Drs. Watkins, Allen, Whittenberg, Easley, White, Garrick and others declared they are going to lead a mighty host of little R. F. D.'s and unknown Baptists out of South Carolina to the Kansas City meeting of the original and unincorporated National Baptist Convention. When they arrive at Cincinnati, they are to proceed direct to St. Louis and from St. Louis to Kansas City they go over the Wabash. They are planning to have a special train before they leave the borders of the old state of Carolina. The probabilities are, declared Dr. Brooks when he was here several weeks ago, that South Carolina will join the North Carolina and a part of the Kentucky delegation en route to the Kansas City meeting.

In the National Negro Business League which opened its first session of the seventeenth annual meeting yesterday, are many men who have made good In the way of pushing ahead in life. These men are of two classes, vin, the big men and the big- ger men, The big men are the men who are Just now grasping the idea of the mo- tive of this great enterprise, and the bigger men are the men who have long since grasped the idea and have helped to send shafts of Nght into the unexplored fields which represent- ed uncovered gold mines of profitable business for the Negro, But the big men will grow into that class of bigger men, because they are getting that food, that inspiration which makes all men prosper, some- thing to think about, It has been written that “the man who succeeds in business must first of all be a man who can think, reason and plan, In the National Negro Business, if a man be wise to the habit of making observations and keeping a record of them, he will tad much to help him think, reason ‘and plan, and thus grow into a bigger and better business man, and a more useful member of the race. THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. The meeting of the National Negro Business League in Kansas City to- vividly brings to our minds recollee- tions of many an attempt at Negro organization by men of color of Amer- ea, We, all of us, well remember this organization and that organization ris- ing up here and yon, “destined, as it were, to become a potent factor in the uplift of the American Negro.” In most cases these organizations lacked a strong motive force behind them, and at the outset they lacked AS BN OFRtOr ANG wriver MF, sim are in constant demand. At a recen Colonel Simmons delivered a most elo ald, one of the leading papers publi tion, in referring to the meeting and “Leading Orator Speaks” in part sald: of the grand lodge was the address de of Louisville, Ky. "The auditorium o suffocation, The delegates stood thr to the place long held by his uncle, orator of his race, Colonel Simmons i but perhaps the most popular public the proper systematizing of the oe Not so when Booker T. Washington organized the National Negro Busi- ness League some seventeen . years ago in that great center of culture, if not commercialism, the city of Bos- ton. Somewhere, in the Bible it is written, “let all things be done with decency and in order,” and so Mr. ‘Washington worked and planned. If there were no other monument to this great man, the success of the National Negro Business League would prove itself a true one. For when the League was organized, there were but a few of our men of substantial backing ready to enter. But, by and by, year after year, the inspiration and influence of the League spread out further and further in area, and deeper and deeper inte the Negro public mind so that to this day the spirit of this organization has increaged Negro business enterprise 85,000, a membership to several thou sand, with branch” organizations in something like five hundred cities, from every state, and represent many trades, professions and occupations ‘This week we see some of the most -skilled artisans in the land, some of the captains of great Negro business concerns, some of the big Negro con tractors, farmers, bankers, insurance men ag well as true and tried men of the fourth estate, the newspaper men. ‘They represent in wealth, many mil lon dollars.

The bottom of the heel is slightly raised. This tends to “‘tilt"’ your arch gradually back into the correct walking position. (2) The curved “waist.” This ‘‘waist’’ is the part of the shoe which covers your arch. It is made of soft, flexible leather so as to allow perfect freedom to your arch muscles. It is shaped to foot-form so as to hold your arch firmly in the correct position, (3) The inside sole. This is scientifically built to form a perfect rest for your foot. Its special shape not only relieves your arch of strain but it also helps to ceep the bones of your arch in place. ‘The Crossett “Doctor” Shoo is the perfected shoe for preventing and correcting arch troubles. Like the other Crossett Shoes—it is famous for its comfort features. It has received the highest ‘approval from some of the leading orthopedic doctors in Massachusetts, ES fe "Sh Supports every bone in the foot LEWIS A.

Every phase of the Negro status in this nation will be carefully consid- ered with a view of memorializing Congress and those authorities to ameliorate the same. Prominent men and women of the Race who are interested in the UP- LIFT OF THE RACE will be present and address the Conference. It is fair to state in advance that there are expense incidents to this call and no funds from any source, therefore ev- ery member of the Race should con- sider it his duty to help bear the same. Kindly manifest your interest by sending a donation to the Secre- tary of the Chairman. For further information, address, °W. H. JERNAGIN, Chairman, 430 Que St, N. W., ‘Washington, D. C. or, REY. WM.

"Sort of peppery, eh, this neighbor of yours?" spoke Abner Lind, addressing his brother John, whom he was visiting. "Worse than that, a shrew. I feel sorry for Robert Tyrrell. Never gets out with the crowd, slaves for his family days and has to toe the mark keeping things up about the place evenings and holidays." "It shows for it, though, John, you must admit that," suggested his brother, glancing past a hedge at the neat garden of the Tyrrell home. "Oh, yes; so would any place with a slave driver in command. That woman's a tartar. She rules the children with a rod of iron. She's giving Tyrrell advice from morning until night. She can't keep still herself nor let anyone else do it. I rule my roost on a different system, I do." "H'm!" simply commented Brother Abner. He thought of the meek, downtridden Mrs. Lind, the slatterly children, the ill-knew garden, and recalled Mrs. Tyrrell, brisk, "full of ginger," sharp but definite of speech, restless when out of action, and accepted his brother's sentiments with some reservation. That would have been the end of it, but the brief conversation described had been overheard, and, fortunately or unfortunately, by the subject of the discussion herself. Mrs. Tyrrell was no eavesdropper. About all her time was taken up with manifold household duties. She was neither a gadder nor a gossiper. While the talk between the two brothers was going on, however, on one side of the hedge, she had been hooping a row of tomatoes on the other side. She had not dalled to listen. She was so amazed and hurt that she stood fairly rooted to the spot. She was a wondrously pretty woman, but with the traces of a strong character in her face. Duty, work, were the watchwords of her life. Industry and discipline had accompanied as basic Stood Fairly Rooted to the Spot. principles and she had brought up the family well, the docile, heedless husband included. And now—shrew! termagant! tyrant!—that was what it amounted to, and the thought lashed her and made her quiver. "They'll call Robert henpecked next, and refer the children to the humane society, I suppose!" she uttered. Then her proud spirit broke. She drew back into a natural shelter formed by interlacing bushes, threw herself upon the ground and cried as if her heart would break. That solitary hour aroused in her a great resolution. She was anything but unreasonable—though strong-minded. Perhaps she had drawn the lines too strictly. Perhaps in her unfailing love for those about her she had assumed too fully the dictation, direction, the grasp of things. "But Robert seems so happy!" the words choked out—and the children are models and contented. Oh, surely. I have never been harsh with them! Surely I have cherished them as the idols of my soul!" Mrs. Tyrrell was deeply distressed. In her suncere way she had taken the sentiments of Lind as the judgment of the world. Her sensitive nature was stung to the quick. "They shall condemn me no longer," she resolved, and the deep, unusual sadness in her tones told how sorely her heart was stricken. Robert Tyrrell, coming home at dinner time, glanced at her curiously and affectionately as he discerned a subtle, indefinable something in her manner that was not usual with her. He mentally scanned his conduct of the day, and wondered if he had forgotten to lock up the chickens the night previous, or had failed to mail letters given him by his wife the day before. But, no, there were no allusions to his short-comings. In fact, while strangely quiet, there was a positive tenderness in the actions of Mrs. Tyrrell that puzzled him. "Oh, papa, can we go to the circus parade after school?" asked little Paul and Mary, as he was about to leave the house. "Why, ask your mother, dears," he replied, with long-acustomed usage shifting a responsibility from his own shoulders. "We did," piped Paul, "and mother said ask you." Tyrrell regarded his wife with a marveling eye, but she sat sphinx-like. "Oh, go, if you want to," he spoke after a pause, and left the house trying to analyze the changed condition of affairs. But a greater shock greeted him that evening. The children had gone to the parade and had come back in tears. A rude boy had pushed Mary off the curb and into the mud, and Paul had narrowly escaped a runaway horse. Tyrrell rubbed his cheek dulously. Obviously he did not understand the care of children. Then, the children in bed, he sat astare as his wife said: "Robert, I have changed my mind about your taking a two weeks' vacation among your old friends in Springfield. At first I fancied we couldn't afford it, but, come to calculate more closely, I find we can easily spare one hundred dollars and you certainly deserve a jaunt after the steady work of years." "Why, Edith," replied Tyrrell in sheer astonishment. "I don't care two pins for the junket, come to think it over. I hardly think I would be content any place except home." "You must go, Robert," she insisted, but there was a slight catch in her voice as she realized what a willing, good-natured being he was. Tyrrell met John Lind on his way to the train next morning and told him of his intended vacation. "Poor crushed down soul," Lind remarked to his wife that noon. "He was rushing for his liberty like a man let out of jail." But if so, Tyrrell amazed his wife by returning at the end of two days. "Why, Robert!" she exclaimed, "how is this? "Sick of it all," declared Tyrrell. "All of my old friends had about forgotten me. Lots of changes. No, sir! I'll stick at home after this, where you people don't change." He kissed her exuberantly and Edith blushed like a schoolgirl. "And the money you told me to spend. Well, all but twelve dollars of it I put into a new suit for you. Better than wasting it on a two weeks' loaf, isn't it? "You dear man," murmured Edith, suffused in happy tears. She was more indulgent than ever with him during succeeding days. He could not understand it, because restless, dissatisfied and finally anxious. "Edith," he spoke very earnestly one morning, after thinking it all over, "I'm beginning to get worried." "What about?" she asked quite innocently. "You. Are you sick? Are you hiding anything from me?" "Why do you ask that?" she faltered. "Because you haven't been your natural self for the last two weeks. See here, things are going wrong somehow. I can't manage the children and I'm spoiling them. You never tell me to do this or that as you used to, and things ain't up to date as you used to make me keep them. What's wrong?" She would not confess all. She compromised as to the real fact in the case. "Robert," she spoke feelingly, "I got thinking. I was afraid I was driving you too hard. I was afraid that I might make mistakes in having my own way in everything. I may have been harsh and scolding and shrewish—" "You! you!!" fairly shouted Tyrrell—"oh, you've been dreaming. Why, Edith, you're the spice of life, your natural self. I wouldn't have you change for worlds. Only keep it up. If you drop now I'll sink into the shiftless, unguided being I was when you married me and gave to my life system and love, and oh, such happiness." And Edith Tyrrell forgot all about John Lind and returned to her old stirring ways, for the shock of peace was not what Robert Tyrrell wanted. Joke on Sir Edwin. Sir Edwin Landseer, whose picture, "The Monarch of the Glen," changed hands recently, once perpetrated a joke on Turner which came out far otherwise than was expected. It was varnishing day at the Royal academy, and Turner, who was preparing to varnish his picture, "The Terence at Mortake," had gone to lunch. Landseer saw his opportunity. He seized a piece of paper, cut out a small dog, painted it black and stuck it on the "Terrace" in the painting. There was much expectation of a stirring scene when Turner came back, but the great landscape painter disappointed it. He looked at the little dog as if he had always known of its existence, adjusted it to fit in better with the scheme of things, and then varnished the picture. And there the dog remains to this day.—Christian Science Monitor. Cultivating Amusements Don't provide inducements to get a child to love amusements. It may encourage a habit that will sadly interfere with a sincere and useful life. Don't make a boy feel that he cannot waste too much time in having fun and catering to his senses. Life is real and earnest, and amusement is admissible at time, but should not be the rule. The many youth is for fun, but he is not always engaged in striving for his own pleasure. He should not be educated into that idea of life. He should not be furnished with inclinations away from what is true and real in life. It is a serious matter, tampering with a youth's nobler aspiration. Providing amusement is apt to prove an unnatural adjunct in education. Chance for Them. "This story ends in the old-fashioned way: 'And they lived happily ever after.' Do you think that is so?" "What period was the tale written in?" "The early '60's." "Oh, that may be all right, then. There were no moving picture shows for her to drag him out to every night." -Detroit Free Press. Cold Calculation. "Don't you get tired of summer boarders who complain of the food?" "I used to," replied Farmer Corntossel, "until I figured on it. There's more profit in a boarder who kicks and doesn't eat than there is in one who eats and doesn't kick." In Woman's Realm Taffeta Suit, Easily One of the Best of the Season's Productions, is the One Displayed—Outfit That Will Deserve the Attention of the College Girl. By daring to be perfectly plain, but otherwise hot going contrary to prevailing fashions, the tufafer suit shown may make claim to noteworthy originality. It is a between-seasons affair, which will prove a safe investment for the young women who must make an early selection. It is a happy choice for the miss who is still in school, and whose youthfulness needs no furbelows. So severe a model is a rarity in slik and this one is too plain to need description. The fullness of the skirt is shirred into a short yoke at the sides I I and back, and it fastens at the left front. The body of the coat could not be cut on simpler lines, and it hangs straight from the shoulder. It is joined to the peplum under a soft crushed belt of the taffeta, fastening at the front with a prim bow and buckle. Round velvet-covered buttons and small silk cord loops take care of the front fastening. The sleeves are long and flare a little at the band, where they are slushed into rounded points. A soft collar of pique is worn inside the rolling collar of silk. As to the silk suit for street or other wear, it is one of the most satisfactory possessions. Women who know now to do decorative needlework can buy plain suits and embellish them with embroideries that place them in the class of exclusive designs. By the addition of other trimmings and fashion features the plain suit may be converted into an expression of individual taste, as the season grows older. Before the cool breezes of September have begun to sign with the passing of summer, the college girl must metallic blossom. There is a f grain ribbon with a pinch. An all-black is one of the terms.

Made of heavy blue cotton crepe with Plain, bright-colored felts and velours trimmed with bands of ribbon or simple ornaments, or with flat decorations of embroidery are sure of their welcome already. They are nearly all brimmed hats with comfortable crowns, and many of them are made in two-toned designs, that is, the under brim is in a contrasting color. Besides the pressed hats there are the "made" or tailored hats like those a shallow collar and sung protective wristbands is the smock of the moment. It reaches the skirt hem and as far as looks is concerned there is no need of a skirt beneath. It may serve as an overall and a dainty dress from garden stains and kitchen grime, for the bottom of the hem is sewn together, leaving slits for the feet to go through, producing thus a sort of bloomer. In Laundering Lace. Lace collars and cuffs should be carefully basted on a strip of flannel, then placed in a suds of lukewarm water and soap and allowed to soak for an hour. They may then be washed between the hands, rinsed carefully and put in the sun to dry. When almost dry remove the pieces from the flannel and pick out the edges; next lay on the ironing board, covering with a piece of thin, dry flannel, and press with a hot iron until dry. Then lay the lace on a tray in the sun for 20 minutes. This will restore the color and natural firmness. Black lace may be washed clean, then dipped into a little carefully made and strained coffee, which will restore its color and stiffness, but the lace must be well aired after so doing.—New York Tribune. Chiffon Kerchiefs. Chiffon handkerchiefs, in delicate colors to match the gown, belt, hat or bag are round with frills of net or real lace. In Laundering Lace. shown in the picture. Most of these are of velvet over rather pliable shapes, but a hat of satin, hatter's plush or other fabric ledges variety to the showings. Wide-brimmed sailors, big tams and hats with irregular brims appear along with smaller shapes. The illustration shows a turban of satin, trimmed with an acorn and leaves made of velvet applied against the front brim and crown. At the center of the group, a mushroom, covered with black velvet is brightened by a wide border of colored velvet and a wreath of small 1 metallic blossoms set in velvet leaves. There is a flat band of narrow growl grain ribbon about the top crown finished with a little bow at the back. An all-black velvet hat, at the right, is one of the smartest of tailored patterns. It has a collar of growl grain ribbon; and a fan of velvet, finished with little ruffles of ribbon, is perched on the upturned brim. Substantial Lettering. Has it occurred to you what attractive letters substantial tapes or braids of almost any kind will make on house-hold linens? This is really as easy a way of marking as any. It is necessary, of course, first to mark off your letters; a script is usually best for braidwork, and the marking can be done with a stout card upon which the letter has been drawn and the outline perforated with pins. This card will last for many stampings with a soft lead pencil through the perforations. Cotton soutache, very fine rickrack, coronation, cotton rat-tail or any braid may be worked into these letters. The heavier braids, of course, should be re- HE COLLEGE GIRL. served for Turkish towels and heavier linen.

Substantial Lettering Newest Smock AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Nashville, Tenn., affords an instance of race co-operation that is most encouraging. A section of the city inhabited by poor people of both the white and colored races was swept by fire last spring. Over 2,000 people were left homeless. The negro board of trade was first to take vigorous measures for relief. It gave its support to Dr. George E Haynes, who established headquarters in the stricken neighborhood, and with a band of volunteer workers from the colored population of the city began at once to organize temporary and permanent aid for the sufferers. White citizens opened similar headquarters across the street. The two agencies met daily in their ministrations and the white citizens were so impressed by the efficiency of the negro organization that they invited it to join forces with them and centralize the work. The invitation was accepted. The immediate task being more effectively accomplished by this co-operation, the workers were encouraged to plan for larger things. A call was issued for the organization of a permanent league to deal with social problems. The response was most gratifying and the Public Welfare league came into existence on a basis that obliterates the color line. As a matter of fact, there is more democracy among the colored people than among the whites. People of good character and intelligence who may be serving in some ordinary capacity are more generally received by their well-to-do colored brothers and sisters than among the whites. The highly educated colored person is not nearly so unhappy as you picture him, and he does not lack for desirable associates. In the best circles may be found people who are the intellectual equals of any other race. In these circles may be found retired capitalists, ministers, lawyers, doctors, business men, professors, editors, teachers, etc.-men and women who have had the best training America and Europe could give. There are so many of them that there are several "sets." A number of new commercial enterprises have recently been undertaken in northeast Siberia. Many iodine works have been established in the neighborhood of Vladivostok, on the shore of the Japanese sea, the iodine being made from seaweed found there in abundance. An interesting distillery for ether has been opened, the bulk of the ingredient being violets and iris blossoms from the Ussuri countryside. A good deal of amber is being collected from the beach along the const of the Premorsk and many new suit workings have been opened in the government of Irkustuk and the Lena hinterland in the vicinity of Viluisk. The chestnut blight has already done damage estimated as close to $50,000,000. The disease attacks both American and European species, but does little damage to those from Japan and China. Plant breeders by crossing Japanese chestnut and native chinquapin have produced resistant trees. Some of the Chinese chestnuts are said to grow 100 feet high in their home forests. It is a mighty effective dun that collects the average man's thoughts. To the gossip the breath of scandal is as the breath of life. In his presidential address at the last meeting of the South African Association for the Advancement of Science, R. T. A. Innes called attention to the large number of astronomical observatories, some of them admirably equipped, which are doing little or no work, beyond, perhaps, maintaining a time service or meteorological service of local importance. He stated that "at least two of the observatories possessing exceptionally large refracting telescopes have not contributed one month's work from them in the last 20 years." At least 33 per cent of the observatories listed in the British nautical almanac publish nothing. Take dissolved gum arable and stir in enough plaster of paris to make a soft paste. This is almost colorless and acts excellently as cement for china. In repairing very delicate china or porcelain, tie the pieces carefully in place with tape. It is then put in a saucepan of milk and the latter is very gradually brought to boiling point. Remove the saucepan from the fire, but leave the china in it for about six minutes. Lift out carefully and place on a shelf to dry. In a world where nations grow and decay, where forces change and populations become cramped, it is not possible or desirable to maintain the status quo forever. If peace is to be preserved, nations must learn to accept unfavorable alterations of the map without feeling that they must first be defeated in war, or that in yielding they incur a humiliation.—Berrrand Russell in Atlantic Monthly. The country church is the only power that co-ordinates forces into a working whole. Weight Raised by Heat. Weight can be raised by heat—and in this agent we possess an enormous store of mechanical power A pound of coal produces by its combination with oxygen an amount of heat which, if mechanically applied, would suffice to raise a weight of 100 pounds to a height of twenty miles above the earth's surface. Conversely, 100 pounds falling from a height of twenty miles and striking against the earth would generate an amount of heat equal to that developed by the The importation of natives from South Africa, in order to relieve the shortage of agricultural labor in England, is proposed by A. J. Fuller of the South African senate, who is now in London. His scheme is to choose carefully selected individuals, who would be accompanied by trusted leaders of their own, and he is confident that if men belonging to widely known families and holding responsible positions were chosen, the experiment would be successful. He also proposes that colonists who know the natives and can superintend them shall accompany them from South Africa. Mr. Fuller speaks with knowledge of the South African natives, having represented a constituency with one of the largest black populations in the country.—London Globe. If you are a farmer, do you happen to know how many kinds of grasses there are? Five thousand! But out of this great number man uses only 19 varieties, as a rule, and only five of those are extensively cultivated. It is a curious fact that while practically every other farm crop has undergone great changes under cultivation, grasses are almost the same now as when man first began to use them as a wild plant. Passions and excitement move the dusky soldier ensily, it is true. To devotion to his officers, nevertheless, he adds pride in the service, ready excellence in the drill and a perfect willingness to follow where he is led. To ridicule, as a reproof, he is most sensitive. To the power of example he is keenly susceptible. To none of his white comrades is the appen so effective as to him to perform for the honor of his race. --- The same childish simplicity which impels to the bursting into song leads to an overwhelming respect for the men in command. Discipline once instituted comes to stay in a negro regiment. Moreover, the rank and file carries so far its trust in its officers that the captain of a company is quite apt to be the banker for his men, saving them from losses in camp gambling games. According to the Akademische Rundschau, no less than 84 per cent of the students of the University of Königsberg have gone to the front. The percentages from certain other universities are: Heidelberg, 60; Munich, 511; Berlin, 54; Frankfurt, 11. The Technische Hochschule of Danzig has sent 90 per cent of its students to war. German professors and students killed up to the end of May numbered 1,911, of whom 266 were from the University of Leipzig. --- Diplomacy would be more successful if it were more truthful and frank. The way some diplomats trent one another they don't get any nearer to real, helpful intercourse than the two celebrities did. Two celebrities, one a stutterer and the other deaf, were introduced at a tea. After the tea the stuttering celebrity was asked how he and the deaf one had got on. "Oh, we got on fine," he answered. "I couldn't talk and he couldn't hear me." Those who have had experience with him under arms testify that the American negro takes most readily and efficiently to soldiering. The limit of the carrying power of thunder is about fifteen miles, while twice that number of miles is not considered any great distance for the sounds of battle to travel. Happiness and the light heart are among the general characteristics of the black soldier. He goes about his business singing. It is related that during the Spanish war the colored cavalrymen had hardly dug their trenches at Santiago before their smuggled musical instruments were out and the camp was a medley place of tunefulness. And there was a white colonel of the Twenty-fifth who was wont to boast of the chorus singing which he had made almost a part of the regimental drill. It is not true that the highly educated colored man has a contempt for the ordinary activities of his race any more than it is true of the white race. There is no grosser form of materialism than when a country community prospers and then forgets Christ. Seventy-six out of eighty-seven cases of typhoid fever which occurred in a recent outbreak have been traced by the United States public health service to infected milk. Had the first cases been reported to a trained health officer the outbreak could have been stamped out promptly. When will we learn that disease prevention is sure and cheap?—United States Public Health Bulletin. When the world would bewilder thy mind, look up to the eternal heavens where the stars never stray.—Ruckert. Wherever work is done by heat, heat disappears. The quantity of heat communicated to the boiler of a working steam engine is greater than that which could be obtained from the recondensation of the steam after it had done its work, and the amount of work performed is the exact equivalent of the amount of heat lost. For the first two years of their lives, dragon dies live at the bottom of a pond INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (By F. E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director on the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) (Copyright 1914, Western Newspaper Union) LESSON FOR AUGUST 20 RIOT AT EPHESUS. LESSON TEXT—Acts 19:33-41. GOLDEN TEXT—The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. I Tim 6:10. Teachers ought to have good mumps and keep before the minds of their classes both the ancient and modern names of the places Paul visited. Paul resided at Ephesus nearly three years, A. D. 53 to 56. The events of this lesson occurred about three years after our last lesson in Acts. I. The Missionary Work of Paul (vv. 1-10). How long Paul remained at Antioch after his second journey we do not know, but having passed through the "upper coast" he came to this city of Ephesus, which was an important city and a great mission field. In Revelations 2 and 3 is a list of the churches which he evangelized from this center. It was a great and effectual door for him (I Cor. 6:3; read also Acts 20:17; 2:35). In this city Paul found a religious guild of 12 members (see vv. 2-7), whose religious experience needed the enrichment of the Holy Spirit; a like need is ever before the Christian church. II. The Miracles Wrought by Paul (vv. 11-20). Ephesus was a center of magic and witchcraft, and special power was given Paul to work miracles which confounded the magicians in this, their stronghold. The Gospel proves its power most and best by transforming the characters of men. Deeds of love and service are the best proofs of Christianity, and these are the things which awaken heathen nations to seek after the Christian religion. But such deeds are often imitated as in this case. (See v. 13.) However, only the real spirit of Christ can work the true workings of the Gospel, and thus the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified in Ephesus. Imitation is often the sincerest form of flattery. III. The Mob's Attack Upon Paul's Work (vv. 21-41). The first result of Paul's work was the burning of the books of magic (vv. 18-20). Many who had been dupes of the magicians ceased their secret practices and declared their wrongdoings in this public manner. Literally, book after book was thrown into the fire, much the same as in Florence Savonarola had his "bonfire of vanities." Paul's wonderful success had to have its testing before he left. The Gospel "way," the way of salvation, of true living, is sure to create a stir sooner or later. Preach the Gospel faithfully and fully, and it will stir up any community. It is not necessarily a bad sign when things begin to be disturbed. It may simply indicate that the fire is getting hot. The good results of revivals do not hurt business, but they do hurt the devil. So that "big business" was intensely stirred up in the city of Ephesus. Demetrius, their leader, uttered a striking and truthful commendation of Paul (v. 26), although it was entirely unintentional. (See I Thess. 1:9-10). Demetrius does not seem to seek to controvert the preaching of Paul, or that it did not square with the word of God, but rather that it would interfere with financial considerations. The modern world is full of descendants of the Ephesian silversmiths,—politicians and business interests which defend the saloon, and fairly respectable citizens who receive rents from such business, or from immoral or unsanitary properties, and who cry out against any reform which interferes with trade and money making. There are many today who are very enthusiastic religionists if they can coin money out of it or get into an office. His statement about all Asla and the world worshipping Diana was not true, nor did he care the least about Diana. Some were enraged because they saw their business going to pieces; some because they saw their religion going upon the rocks; and there was a considerable number who desired to re-establish business and religion at the same time. Therefore the united cry, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians." At this theater meeting (Paul was not present, vv. 29, 31) Demetrius appealed (1) to wealth, (2) to religion, (3) to the honor and fame of the city, and (4) he also made an esthetic appeal, (vv. 25, 26, 27). The Jews put forward one of their number, Alexander, to make a defense unto the people, and to show that they were not in sympathy with Paul and his companions in their preaching against the worship of Diana or that as Jewish Christians they did not maliciously hope to destroy the worship of Diana and the business interests of that city. Their effort, however, only stirred the mob to a larger shout, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians," which lasted for two hours. Those who yell the loudest think they are sure to prove their point, though in such a way the point does not stay proved. Paul combines fearless courage and humble common sense, and, while he fain would appeal to the mob (v. 30), he refrained. The mob must soon awaken to the manliness and spirit of Paul's soul. It was the town clerk who interfered (v. 35-41) and by skillful management quelled the exited mob. He was the temple keeper and showed that the worship of Diana was so settled in Ephesus that no company of Jews could overthrow it, and that they did not have any real cause for violence. He also emphasizes the fact that the image of Diana, their chief god, had been miraculously sent to them by Jupiter. He called attention to the fact that Paul had not committed the wrong of which he was charged. Paul was not a robber of churches. He had preached simply the gospel of Jesus Christ, and his converts had not blasphemed the goddess.
