Kansas City Sun

Hurrah! Ebenezer Church Choir Carnival and Contest at Lincoln Electric Park, Sept. 4 to 8, is the next and last crowning event of the season. This will be the greatest aggrega of music ever staged in the West. Every Negro Choir in 75 miles of Kansas City have been invited to participate in this contest. Two hundred dollars will be given away in prizes as follows: First, $100; second, $50; third, $25; fourth, $15; fifth, $10. The choirs from the following cities have entered: Atchison, Leavenworth, St. Joseph, Topeka, Argentine, Kansas City, Kan., Independence and Kansas City, Mo. A special solo will be sung each evening by each choir in the contest for which a separate prize of $10 will be given to the best soloist for the series. Under the management of Rev. W. C. Williams and Prof. B. J. Knox. Miss Alberta George White, the subject of this sketch, first saw the light of day seventeen years ago in Louisville, Ky. She is the daughter of Mrs. Sallie J. S. White, who with her children removed to this city nearly six years ago. Her father, the late Albert S. White, was one of the ablest lawyers the race has produced. During the Roosevelt administration he was appointed field revenue agent with headquarters in Louisville custom house. The Columbian concluded an editorial on his death thus: Truly a great man has fallen in Israel: Peace to his ashes and rest to his soul. During her first school year in this city, 1911, Alberta won a gold medal, as first prize given by the W. C. T. U. for the best essay on "The Injurious Effects of Tobacco Upon the Human System." In presenting the prize the president said that she hoped that she would grow up to be a teacher in this city and that physiology would be one of the subjects taught by her, as her paper showed such splendid research. She was valedictorian of her class when graduating from the ward school in 1912, and completed the High School course with the remarkable record averaging 100 the entire four years, winning the $50 scholarship given by the Kansas City Medical Society. She was also presented a gold medal by the Lincoln High Alumni. She will matriculate at Kansas University September 11th, and we bid her God speed, hoping that she will ever keep above the tide the blue and the gold. Her mother, Mrs. Sallie J. S. White, is the daughter of Rev. George W. Seals, one of the most prominent Baptist ministers of his day, before her marriage for several years, edited the Colored Department in the Louisville Commercial, now known as the Herald. She also gave daily reports of conferences, conventions and the like. After the cyclone devastated Louisville, a number of years ago, Mrs. White staged a play which she had written for the benefit of the Colored Odd Fellows, whose hall was destroyed, realizing $400. She refused many flattering offers to enter professional life upon the stage. Mrs. White has always been a suffragist, even in her girlhood days, but says she has still greater reasons for her belief in votes for women, since her long association with her husband during his law practice her attention being attracted to the laws concerning women, watched a number of cases in different parts of the country where scoundrels betrayed girls, mere children, and escaped punishment by means of that nefarious law—the age of consent—then she began to think The Kansas City Sun what effect the ballot in the hands of women would have on this and other laws concerning the sex. Do you think, says Mrs. White, that if the women of Mississippi or Georgia had the ballot and were wide awake to its value, that there would be among their statutes a law making the age of consent so infamously low as ten years, or would the women of Kentucky stand for such at twelve years, when with the use of the ballot they could readily remove from the legislative halls the men who refuse to repeal said measures, making it 21. At present I do not think it is in more than two or perhaps three states. Mrs. White was elected president of the Kindergarten Association in 1902. Much of the success of this movement was due to her indefatigable efforts. The said association made it possible for colored girls to graduate as said teachers. The Women's Improvement Club, of which she was vice president, supported the first kindergarten placed in a Negro school, the board of education giving the room only, the club paying $45 monthly to a teacher and furnishing all material. Thus the club and the association combined blazed a way for the placing of kindergartens in Negro schools. Mrs. White was presented a handsome silver sugar spoon by the graduating class of kindergarteners of 1904. She was also presented a silver butter dish by the Women's Improvement Club. In 1905 she was elected vice president of the first Play Ground Association of Louisville, and during the most important season she was practically president, as Prof. Perry was in Chicago, taking a medical course. So interested was she in this movement that she with Miss G. A. Moore personally supervised the playground. Mrs. White is a member of the A. M. E. church, a charter member of the Addie Allen Chapter, Order of Eastern Star, and a member of the Golden Rule Temple, S. M. T. She came to this city after having suffered a nervous breakdown, due to grief, worry and mental strain, so following the advice of her physician she has done work of various kinds calculated to bring physical exhaustion, keeping the mind as free as possible. Even that did not bring the much cured for sleep, but Christian Science did. This coupled with the fact that she felt that being in a new city, away from all relatives, her children needed her presence at all times, she thought it best to do anything that would leave her at home. Although Mrs. White gave her children the most attentive care, she nevertheless appeared from time to time during her entire married life not only in the churches of her home city but in nearby states, either in recital, lecture or speech, advocating some cause touching on human rights. As a result of her many sided experiences she hopes some time in the near future to give the reading public a social work, dealing with the problems of today. The book will be dedicated to her daughter, Mrs. Sallie S. White Harris, who died in this city one year ago. Mrs. Harris was a graduate from the Lincoln High School class 1912. Immediately after her graduation she took the teacher's examination, making an average of 79, with 75 in arithmetic, which was considered remarkable for one just out of the High School. She taught two years, was married October, 1914, and died September, 1915. Her death was a sad blow to the family and also to friends.

O, could I but write stories— For moving picture plays, I would write one from history Of cruel slavery days. It would tell how the black man, These many years ago. Was lured by the white traders, From his own country's shore. It would show the trading ship With the Dutch in command; I'd give a view of Jamestown, The place the old ships land. I would show those white planters, Without regret or shame. Enslaving the poor Negroes For their greed of gold to gain. I would show the white's mansion, His great wealth in display, Earned by those poor Negro slaves Who labored day by day. Then comes the Negro's cabin, Standing in the lane. And mammy with her children— There, you see, the white man's shame. How comes the mulatto child, A cruel white man's lust? Tom Dixon and Griffiths fame A renegade—their Gus. Our country called the whites to arms, The black man's left on guard. Gus did not rape his mistress, There's no black child in her yard. They called the Negro soldiers, With bayonet and guns, To the war they bravely marched, Fought hard, their freedom won, Then comes reconstruction days; Those coward Ku-Klux-Klan, I would expose their vengeance Wreaked on the poor Negro man. Final, the twentieth century; A beautiful scene to see, Progress of the Negroes After fifty years free, We would wave the stars and stripes In one stirring voice would sing Down with segregation, Let Freedom Loudly Ring. —Mrs. Bessie V.

The Kansas City record stars defended their title as champions of the Missouri Valley in their recent meet by taking ten of the twelve events. They demonstrated their superiority both in physical conditions and in the finer points of the game. The games with the exception of one or two were not as spectacular owing to the fact that the opponents were not able to make the home boys extend themselves. In McCampbell, Burns, Page, Smith, Payne, Williams, Holland, Jones and McKnight, Kansas City has nine of the best Negro tennis players in the Southwest.

Patriotism has already begun to show itself in the preparations for the entertainment of the National Baptist Convention, which is to meet here in September. This was evidenced when the committee, consisting of Drs. J. W. Hurse, J. B. Beckham and J. R. Williams, announced this week that the national colors had been adopted as the decoration for the two Kansas Cities during the week of the Convention. In addition to this they have decided to placard the homes of the citizens on which they are to use the photos and drawings of the most distinguished men of their connection. Dr. Beckham stated this week that the committee wanted that the people of the West should see the "little unknown R. F. D.'s, who would be in Kansas City at the coming National Baptist Convention, unincorporated. While he declared, as did the other working with him on the committee, that there would be some of the most stalwart figures in the religious world at the meeting, many of them had perhaps not been seen on a public platform as members of the National Baptist Convention. It is said that this meeting will bring out more intellect, more culture, more wealth, more men that have achieved big things for the Negro Baptists during their day and generation than any similar meeting. The committee has received information of more than a half doz en special train movements and they gave out this week there would be three solid special trains from Tex --- SINGLES. as, one from Southwest and West Texas, one from South and East Texas, another one from North Texas; two special trains from Louisiana, one eminating at New Orleans that would bring the South Louisiana, Mobile and Alabama delegations, the other from North Louisiana, that would take in a portion of Arkansas and Texas; another special train from Mississippi which is to be made up at Vicksburg, the home of the president, and come direct through to St. Louis and from there to Kansas City. Another special from Tennessee that is to start at Nashville will go through by St. Louis. The Florida special starts at Jacksonville, and is said to be coming over the famous Dixie Flyer Route. The Carolina Special train is to take the "Carolina Special Route" by Cincinnati and St. Louis. The Kentucky delegation will blaze the way and call it the "Blue Grass State" Route. There is to be an Indiana Special from Indianapolis, while the Eastern delegation from as far as Hartford, Conn., will come direct, so it is learned on the famous New Yorker, and will be joined by the Virginia, Washington and Maryland delegations which come from New York to St. Louis without change. The Illinois delegation will join the Chicago people on their route, as it is understood there will be as many as seventy-five out of Chicago who will swoop down on the Santa Fe, going through without change. An Oklahoma Special is to come over, starting at Muskegue and Oklahoma City, coming together enroute. Then the Missouri delegation starting at St. Louis is to bring up the rear. A conservative estimate of the attendance as far as the local committee has been able to ascertain will be approximately 2,000. The chorister, who is to have charge of the singing during the week, it is said, will be on the grounds ten days prior to the opening. All in all, Kansas City, aside from putting on a patriotic air, has begun to assume a business-like attitude and is making steady preparations for the little R. F. D. and unknown Baptists that are going to come here in September. ALLEN CHAPEL Many visitors were present at the morning services. The minister preached. At the conclusion of the services Miss Freeman very forbely and eloquently set forth the constructive work that the organization for the Advancement of the Colored People was trying to do. She told of the financial aid many wives were giving, but said the work principally must be done by us. A collection of $40 was taken for that cause. The pastor then introduced Colonel Roscoe Conklin Simmons of Louisville, Ky. Colonel Simmons is a polished orator, possibly the ablest before the country today. He held the audience spellbound for thirty minutes. At the evening services Dr.Leedy of Nashville, Tenn., spoke to a splenid audience. Dr. T. C. Unthank, superintendent of our city hospital, had charge of the services.

As the opening attraction at the Lincoln Electric Park, Kansas City, Mo., during the week of the National Negro Business League, August 14- 20, the management gave their thousands of patrons a much welcomed treat in the presentation of that beautiful and wonderful race photo-play, "Realization of a Negro's Ambition." This educational and interesting picture marks the beginning of a new era in the production of Race pictures. Feeling that the trend of public sentiment among the Race lovers of the silent drama is growing so antagonistic to the insulting, humiliating and undignified portrayal of the cheap burlesque, slap-stick comedies so universally shown as characteristic of the Afro-American ideals, the Lincoln Motion Picture Co. of Los Angeles, Cal., a Race firm, has in their first release successfully eliminated these undesirable features and produced a really interesting, inspiring and commendable educational love drama featuring the business and social life of the Negro, as it really is and not as our jealous contemporaries would have us appear. This classy two reel drama, "Realization of a Negro's Ambition," featuring the author, Noble M. Johnson, as star, and Miss Beulah Hall as leading lay, is owned, acted and produced entirely by the Race. The play is a social story, the scenes being laid principally among the business and social setting of Los Angeles' Colored "400." James Burton, a young civil engineer from Tuskegee, seeks his fortune in the far West. How James rescues his future employer's daughter, thereby securing a position in the oil fields in spite of racial prejudice, strikes oil and returns home later, wealthy, becoming an innocent victim of a jealous frame-up involving a boyhood sweetheart; nevertheless he proposes and is accepted, is told in two exceedingly interesting reels. The picture is a very clean, interesting drama, minus all burlesque and suggestive features. The production is very good. The atmosphere of the picture is remarkable, and the illusion of reality maintained from beginning to end. Aided by several thrills, clean comedy, some very pretty scenes and excellent photography, the picture leaves little to be desired from an artistic standpoint. As an initial picture it is very good. The directors might have reworked the titles to an advantage, but even as it stands the picture offers entertainment of a satisfactory and above the average order and is sure to prove a winner. This picture was shown at the Vine Street Theatre, 24th and Vine streets, before a large and appreciative audience. The National Negro Funeral Directors' Association met in their annual session on Friday afternoon, August 18th, at the undertaking parlors of Watkins Bros., with G. W.

They were cordially received by the chairman and the conversation extended over a period of an hour, and each gentleman was asked to express his views upon the situation as he saw it. In the party was Prof. J. Silas Harris, president of the National Educational Congress; Lawyers L. A. Knox, Chas. H. Calloway, George T. Wassom; Dr. J. R. A.

WALKER VISITS THE CITY Perhaps the most interesting story ever related on the subject, "Woman," is that told of the life, achievements and progress of that most wonderful, clever, aggressive and far-seeing personage, Madame C. J. Walker, the only woman of her race who has achieved such excellent results in the short period of eleven years. Madam C. J. Walker was born in Delta, La., December 25, 1867. Her parents were Owen and Minerva Breedlove. Reared on a farm until 10 years of age, she then moved to Vicksburg, Miss. She was left an orphan at the age of seven years, under the care of a sister and cruel brother-in-law. She married at the age of fourteen, in order to get a home. She was left a widow at the age of twenty, with one child, a little girl. She moved from Vicksburg to St. Louis, Mo., where she lived for eighteen years. She reared and educated her daughter, enduring many hardships and much toil. In 1905 she discovered a ```markdown ``` Mary Louise MME. C. J. WALKER, The Best Known Hair Culturist in America remedy for the growing of hair. After having tried it successfully on herself and family, she decided to make a business of it. July 19, 1905, she left St. Louis, Mo., for Denver, Col., to engage in the hair growing business. After many discouragements and obstacles she finally was able to convince the people at this place that she could really grow hair, and was successful in building up a fair business. She remained in Denver a year. She became awakened to the needs of the colored people in this line and her discovery was regarded as one of the wonders of the world. As she had not thoroughly convinced the skeptical public in so short a time she decided to travel, notwithstanding she was discouraged by many of her friends who said she would not be able to make her expenses from one town to another. However, she was determined and felt inspired to do so. Believing, as Christ converted the world by miracles He wrought before the Jews, by placing her hand in His, she might convert the world by the wonderful good she would do her people, on September 15, 1906, she started out to place her goods on the market. She traveled for a year and a half. At the end of that time the mail order business had so increased that it was necessary for her to settle somewhere temporarily, so Pittsburgh, Pa., was selected for that purpose. After establishing a business there, she left her daughter in charge of the business there and began traveling again. February 10, 1910, she came to Indianapolis, Ind., and was so impressed with the city and the cordial welcome extended to her she decided to make this city her home. Since she has purchased and paid for a beautiful home valued at ten thousand ($10,000.00), adjoining which is a factory and laboratory, said to be the most complete of its kind in the United States. She has 2,000 agents. Her business is incorporated with a capital stock of $10,000.00, with an income of $1,000.00 per week, with Madam Walker as president. She has made possible the way for many colored women to aban don the wash-tub for more pleasant and profitable occupation. Since coming to this city she is regarded --- WALKER ITS THE CITY Hair Culturist Attends League and Reports of 11 Years TO CASTLE as one of the most active in its commercial walks, and her business qualifications and integrity are unquestioned. She is a member of Bethel A. M. E. church, and is active in all worthy or religious movements. Mrs. Lella Walker Robinson, her daughter, has charge of the Pittsburgh branch of her business at 6258 Frankstown avenue, also at 108 West 13th street, New York City, N. Y. Madam Walker met with some opposition in the form of doubt and indifference, but being a woman with a strong and determined will, she kept her preparation before the public, and soon the demand became so great that she had to seek larger quarters; to meet this demand she had erected a large factory in the rear of her beautiful home on North West street. This factory does a rushing business, both local and foreign. Madam Walker, as president of the corporation, contents herself with acting in a supervisory capacity, the immediate management THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM being under a forewoman, an estimable and competent lady, Miss Alice P. Kelly, from Louisville, Ky. There are several girls employed, also bookkeeper and stenographer. It is a treat to visit her laboratory, see the girls at work, talk with Madam Walker, and get an idea of her business. Madam Walker is now making arrangements to send agents to all parts of the country. Numerous applications are in and are now under consideration. The Race feels proud of this business woman, as well as of the opportunity for employment this corporation offers to her boys and girls, and is proud of her for yet another reason, proud of her great big, generous and race-loving heart, as attested by her gift of one thousand dollars to the Colored Y. M. C. A. building fund at Indianapolis, Ind. Eleven years ago the recipe for the wonderful preparation which has made Madame Walker the wealthiest and most enviled woman of her race, came in a dream and by her clear insight to the necessity of the needs of the women of her race she grasped at this vision, promoting her ideas until they became realities. Beginning with $1.50 eleven years ago, Madame Walker now has a business whose income is $100,000 a year, $250,000 in real estate and is breaking ground for a new $100,000 home on the Hudson, which she expects to have finished by the latter part of next year. This is to be a summer home, built on the Italian Renaissance style, and will be elegantly furnished and artistically decorated. Madame Walker has so thoroughly established her business until now the name, Madame C. J. Walker's Hair Grower, is all the recommendation that the public asks. While in the city Mrs. Walker, accompanied by her very efficient secretary, was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hubbel, 2628 Highland avenue. Dr. E. A.

C., is one of those true born southern gentlemen who go out of the way to befriend the colored folk their families once owned and lived off—and not in a patronizing, indifferent way, but in the sacrifice of considerable trouble, thought, business energy and valuable time. Mr. Rawley recently made a midsummer journey to Boston for the Sister Industrial and Normal School for Colored People at the Rawley's native place, Winston-Salem, N. C. It seems there are a set of enlightened business men and bankers in Winston-Salem who have got together and planted, altogether, their capital to the amount of $65,000 in a school which they consider next in importance to Tuskegee and Hampton. The effects have been so immediate and so permanent at once, that these gentlemen see nothing of so much vital concern to the development of the South as the educating and raising in moral worth of their black fellow citizens. Mr. Rawley, for instance (he says his ancestors changed from Raleigh to Tuskegee to avoid the charge of sinful pride in their aristocratic lineage), is one of those southerners (like the late lamented President Mitchell of the Richmond college), who no longer permit themselves to say "niggers" but compromise on a curious French-like word which sounds like "Negres" or "Nigras." He speaks with positive enthusiasm of the Tenth cavalry troops, and points to the fact that in every national crisis colored men have been the first to shed their blood and have never raised a hand against the flag. This sort of sentiment is more and more representative of "the better classes—the ex-slave-owning families of the South and the new business life, such as Messrs. Rawley of Winston-Salem and Mr. William A. Blair, vice president and cashier of the Peoples National bank of Winston-Salem represent. The immediate matter in hand is the raising of $12,000, which will secure an equal amount from the Old North State's treasury for this splendid colored training school. Mr. Rawley's visit to Boston on this business proved to be ill-timed, on account of the vacation season. But if readers of this paragraph wish to keep in countance this nobly representative North Carolinian, whose state boasts that it has not been disgraced by a lynching in 20 years past, they may send their ten-dollar checks to Cashier Blair at his Winston-Salem bank. It seems as though one of the far-reaching unlooked-for results of the great war is going to be to better immensely the economic position of the great colored element of this republic. The cessation of immigration and the unsatisfied demands for labor of all kinds, is resulting in a new and important extension of their opportunities, into which the technical training of such schools as Hampden and Tuskegee and the Sister Industrial and State Normal school of North Carolina, exactly fit. The movement in this state and city fathered by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is progressing by leaps and bounds; petitions to large employers of help from their customers have assured them that they would like to see colored help in department stores and offices. Large industries like our Walworth Manufacturing company, and the paper mills of Acton, have been putting on colored labor in their yards. Every conquest of old prejudices like this makes the next Telling of her experiences in establishing her school for Negroes at Daytona. Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune writes as follows: "The next thing I turned my mind to was the idle, picturesque boy found on the roadways and atop fences with jack-knife and stick. "I spoke to the boys and asked them whether they would like to be my little brothers. I asked them to be my little chapel connected with the school, where I was going to have a party for them. They came, and I served lemonade, peanuts and ginger snaps. I talked to them. I showed them how the white boys were growing up to be fine men, who were the strength of the nation. I showed them how they, too, could become an honor to the country. Before they went we had organized a club, and as they were leaving I asked them how many were coming the following week with clean shoes, washed faces, straight ties and brushed hair. They all came the next week, as fine a lot of boys as you could wish to see. "Boys," I said, "you are a part of this country. This school needs a flag, a flag of our country. Let us put our The Seed of Pity. Yesterday we saw a fair girl release a common yellow butterfly from the tangle of a spider's web. We suddenly forgot the madness of Verjun, and Douaumont, and Dead Man's hill. Nothing can kill the seed of pity in the heart of a woman. It survives eternally, and because it lives on man will fight his way up and out of hate and gloom and despair back to sanity and cheer again.—Cleveland Press. Laugh Is Effective Weapon Laugh is Effective Weapon. An optimist, a woman who has the best of reasons to regard fate unkindly, has found a laugh the best weapon with which to meet calamity. She laughs when a bit of china, dear to her heart, comes to grief, and can even achieve something like a laugh when she learns of the treachery of a friend. Her optimism is the sole hold she has on life, for unusual nerve strain would shorten her life if it did not result in immediate death. The difficulty of achieving philosophy under better con- step easier, and every draft upon the colored race for labor at the North improves the estimation in which the southern community holds its inherited colored help. --- Before the fight at Carrizal, Americans had often heard of the Tenth United States cavalry. To such of us as, from inclination or employment, keep in touch with the present by remembering the past which made it, when the word came from the border that a detachment of the Tenth cavalry had made a glorious fight against a sudden and unexpected attack by a much superior force, the thought came at once, "the Tenth! Why, that is the same regiment that distinguished itself at Las Guasimas, and El Caney, and on the heights of San Juan." Because the American mind is too prone to exalt the volunteer forces—the citizen soldiers—above the professional fighting men in the regular ranks, and to give to a patriotic outburst a place above what it calls "a standing army," the popular imagination seized upon the brilliant exploits of our volunteers in Cuba—notably the Rough Riders—as better representing the national spirit. But in the Army Reports, that place where justice is done all men who go out to battle for their country, the truth about the Tenth in the Spanish war is embalmed. Maj.J Frank Keck, who has seen much service, told the story somewhat in detail in the Sunday Globe-Democrat. It is the most interesting story, because it goes far back of the Spanish war to find the origins of that morale and discipline, and that self-safering courage, which made the Tenth United States cavalry what it was in Cuba, later in the Phillippines, and what it is now in Mexico. Linking the present with a long past, far-flung over many fields, Major Keck has shown us how the regular soldier of the United States army can be developed into, or, rather, will develop himself into, a fighting unit not to be supassed in war. Much of the story is in the history of the Indian wars which for years followed the close of the war between the states; when the most warlike tribes, under the leadership of such great chiefs as Sitting Bull, Red Cloud, Cochise and Geronimo, waged strong warfare against the palace then beginning a great invasion of the buffalo lands. It was a war of swooping attacks, sudden forays, long and hard rides, sleepless and waterless days and nights, with now and then such a pitched battle as at the Rosebud. A war for cavalrymen—and the Fighting Tenth was in it and of it all. For that gallant regiment was organized the year following the close of the Civil war, made up of colored troops who had fought in the federal army. Those who were in it are not in it now. They have died the death swift or slow, or fallen out of the ranks as outworn troopers. But the regiment has remained, always made up of colored men, officered by West Pointers and white noncoms, and always to be found where glory leads the way. At every point of action the Tenth has been seen, and always to advantage. Other regular army regiments have made glorious records. It's a way the United States regulars, of all colors, have. But these, our brothers in black, have won a special meed of praise. penalties together and buy a flag.' Seven dollars was raised and the flag was bought. When the boys went, I asked them whether they were my friends. 'Can I count on you for help when I am in trouble?' 'Yes, Mrs. Bethune,' they said, 'if we can't walk, we'll roll to you.' Those boys have grown into fine young Americans. We have ninety-two of them enrolled in the club. Twenty of them have bank accounts. Several of them own lots, which they are paying for on the installment plan." Negroes conduct the municipal affairs of Hobson City, Ala., comprising as they do the population of the place. It is the only town in the state that is out of debt and has money in its treasury. More than half the citizens own their own homes. No man without employment is allowed to stay in the town. Either a job is found for him or he is required to move away. The wise girl fears a man far more than she does a mouse. The letter P, like selfish friends, is first in pity and last in help. Periscope at Crossing. No longer is the periscope used exclusively in the business of slaughter in the war zones, for the instrument invented for aid in battle is now utilized by a railroad to save lives. At the Third street grade crossing at San Bernadino, Cal., a particularly hazardous point in the business district, the guardian of the crossing is now using a 20-foot periscope to watch for trains around a dangerous curve. The periscope extends over the roofs of buildings that obstruct the view. dittions is beyond some of us, and here is a woman who has had the courage to laugh in the face of circumstances that might well leave her sore and bitter—Exchange. Papermaking. The first paper mill in America was established in 1600 near Philadelphia and it was 20 years before the second one was built at Germantown, while the third, founded four years later in Delaware, furnished the paper that Benjamin Franklin needed. MEALS IN WARM WEATHER Cold Dishes May Be Made Just as Appetizing as Hot Ones, and Are More Healthful. If you arrange to have cold sliced meat three or four times a week, see that the rest of the meal is light. But on the days when you serve vegetable dishes as the principal part of the menu make sure that the rest of the meal provides sufficient nourishment to even up the menu and make it as a whole equal in value to a meat meal. For instance, you might have on Sunday, let us say, cold roast chicken with mashed potatoes, sliced cucumber salad and watermelon or berries. Monday night you might have a cold chicken jelly soup, made from the chicken carcass, a cold baked macaroni and cheese, with hot peas and potato chips, tomato with mayonnaise salad and a good, nourishing pudding with plenty of eggs and butter. Thus, in the chicken jelly, in the mayonnaise, made of eggs and plenty of olive oil, and in the pudding, you provide enough nutrition to make up for the difference in nutritive values of the meat and the macaroni dish. Other good substitutes for meat dishes are rice souffle, spaghetti a l'Italienne, cheese and rice baked, etc. You will find that almost every kind of salad will be welcome in the warm weather. When you make the salad dressings do not be sparing with the olive oil, for there is even more nourishment in real olive oil than there is in meat. If you serve dainty cold meals and keep your table looking attractive, the hot weather will make very little difference in the appetite of your family. To Cook Fresh Fruit Cooked fruits are especially good for delicate appetites and digestion. Raw fruits are for those who are stronger and can get all the benefit from them; the benefit is diminished by cooking. The best way of cooking fruit is not by boiling, but by simmering. In cooking very tender fruit bring the sirup to the boiling point, then throw the fruit in the hot sirup, cover tight, remove from the range or fire, and let it stand for half an hour. This applies particularly to berries. To prepare larger fruit, throw it in boiling sirup, cover tight and leave it five minutes on the range; remove and let it stand half an hour. One pound of sugar to one quart of water, or a pound to a pound, is the usual allowance for the sirup. Whitefish Turbot. One three-pound whitefish, one and a quarter teaspoonfuls salt, one-eighth teaspoonful pepper, five cupfuls milk, one cupful flour, one tablespoonful minced parsley, two eggs, one-half cupful butter, three-quarters cupful of dry bread crumbs, one-half tablespoonful grated onion. Steam the dish till tender, remove the flesh from the bone and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Scald one quart of milk and thicken with the flour dissolved in the remaining milk. Season with the onion and parsley, and then pour onto the eggs, beaten; add the butter in bits, whisking it in. Butter a baking dish and put in a layer of fish and then one of sauce, alternating till all is used. Cover with the breadcrumbs and bake 45 minutes in a moderate oven. Folding a Tablecloth The best housekeeper I know insists on having her tablecloths folded three times lengthwise before any cross folding is done. This prevents the ugly hump that invariably comes in the center of the table when the cloth is folded in the usual squares. Not only does the linen set better when thus cared for, but it wears longer, as breaks first come in the creases, and the heaviest threads in a table-cloth are the horizontal ones. Few housewives know this, but they may investigate for themselves. Of course these heavier threads are better able to withstand the crease of the iron.—Mother's Magazine. Baked Cherry Dumpling Sift together one pint of flour, one-half teaspoonful salt and one teaspoonful baking powder. Rub in one tablespoonful shortening. Add sweet milk enough to make a soft dough. Roll one one-half inch thick, cut into four-inch squares. Fill each square with as many cherries as it will contain and sprinkle generously with sugar. Fold the edges of the dumplings over and place them in a floured pan. Bake one-half hour and serve with hard sauce, or with cream and sugar. —Mothers' Magazine. Orange Ice Cream. Boll for 20 minutes a cupful of water, the juice of three oranges and a cupful and a half of sugar. Beat the yolks of four eggs until creamy and lemon color, and slowly pour over them, beating all the time, as you would for biscuit tortoni, the hot sirup. Add a pinch of salt and heat over hot water, on the fire, for three minutes. Then remove from the fire and beat until cool. Then add three cupfuls of rich cream, turn into a freezer and freeze. Lemon Cream Pudding Beat yolks of four eggs and four tablespoonfuls of sugar (I use more sugar). Add juice of one lemon and the grated rind and two teaspoonfuls of hot water. Cook in double boiler until thickened. Remove from fire and stir in whites of four eggs beaten stuff with two tablespoonfuls of sugar. Eat cold. Rice a la Creole. Chop a large onion, two seeded green peppers and half a cupful of raw ham. Mix well and fry lightly in butter. Add a cupful of parboiled rice, three cupfuls of beef stock, one cupful of stewed tomatoes and a teaspoonful of salt. Cook slowly until the rice is tender and the liquid nearly absorbed. When Slicing Bacon Always place the rind side flat on the table when slicing bacon, and do not try to slice through it. When a sufficient number of pieces are cut, slip the knife under them and you can easily slice them away very close to the rind. In Woman's Realm Fall Modes Show a Conservative and Beautifully Tallored Suit That Is Becoming to Both Slender and Stout Figures—Slips of Satin and Taffeta to Be Worn Under Sheer Frocks of Midsummer Wardrobe. M SERGE STREET SUIT FOR FALL. The first of the new ready-made suits for fall are making their appearance before "the trade." That is, merchants throughout the country are looking over the sample lines of manufacturers. So far there is little change in the lines of street suits from those of the passing season. Many of the new models show an increased length of skirt, and coats also are somewhat longer. The inspiration of many smart models appears to come from the Russian blouse—and this is a matter for gratitude. In the conservative and beautifully tailored suit shown above, a model has been evolved that is becoming to both slender and stout figures. The coat is neatly adjusted over the shoulders and vague in fit about the waistline with a full and long peplum. A very clever management of the underarm portion gives a trim look to the figure. The sleeves are plain and long The skirt is plain with overlapped seam at the front and plaits at each side. It is strictly tailored with faultless machine stitching as a finish. In harmony with it are the plain belt at back and front of the waistline and the large bone buttons that fasten the coat. Smaller buttons of the same kind are set in a row of four on each cuff. Serge is the favorite material for fall suits although the other standard weaves of cloth are not neglected. Except for the velvet turnover on the collar it is the only fabric used in the suit shown. There is a surmise that skirts may be narrower as the season grows older, but no one A ```markdown ``` knows. A conservative suit like that above need not concern itself in the matter. There are slips of satin and taffeta—both washable—to be worn under the sheer frocks that form so important a part of the midsummer wardrobe. many women prefer slips or petticants of muslin, that are exquisitely clean and fresh-looking with each return from the laundry. They are thin enough to be cool and thick enough to provide sufficient covering. Sometimes a plain petticoat or slip of net is worn over them, if the frock is sheer enough to be transparent. This is merely by way of making an ally background for lingerie or other gauzy dresses. ers with black coats, and occasionally one is seen in white trousers with a black and white shepherd's-plaid coat having a bright red vest. Wide Fringes Used. Fringe trimmed parasols are being shown among the new things for spring, the fringe being of silk or worsted, fully four inches wide and in matching or brilliantly contrasting colors. Efficacious Massage. Massage to be efficacious, must be gentle, firm, regular and accomplished with a rotary upward motion of the finger tips, except short on the outer The newest petticoats are cut moderately wide in three or four gores shaped so that there will be little fullness about the waist. They are finished with flouces not too much trimmed with embroidery or lace. In many of them, as in the two pictured above, the flouces are made of battise, cambric, or organdre or other thin cotton and shaped with a flare, so that their Dainty Boudoir Cap. A dainty boudoir cap can be fashioned out of a bit of shadow lace and a scrap of crepe de chine. Make a crown of the lace and attach it to the silk which is gathered a trifle. The joining place is concealed with twisted ribbon, which is studded here and there with a tiny rosebud. Gather the silk about an inch or so from the bottom and see that it slips over the head easily. Finish with a ruffle of lace sewed inside of the edge. Long loops of ribbon placed on the side will fullness is managed in the shaping rather than by gathers. These flouces are edged with embroidery or lace and joined to the petticoat with wide beading in the usual way. The beading carries the indispensable ribbon which has come to stay and adds so much of charm to the lingerie of today. Underneath the flouces the bottom of the petticoat is finished with a plain or scalloped ruffle or with lace insertions and edgings. They are gathered over a tape at the waist. In finishing the flouce with lace the edge is cut in scallops and turned under in a very marrow hem which is stitched down over the lace edging as shown in the petticoat at the right. But where a scalloped embroidery is used the scallops are cut out, leaving a little of the plain material to turn under. This edge is then basted to the edge of the shaped flouce and stitched down, after which the flouce is trimmed away from under the scallops. Julia Bottomly New Developments in Tucks. Crepe and chiffon blouses being designed for the autumn openings are being tucked crosswise back and front and on the insides of the sleeves. This gives a becoming fullness across the bust and provides quite a novel outline for long sleeves. Smart Riding Costumes Smart Riding Costumes. Very smart women are wearing for riding, black and white checked trou- sers with black coats, and occasionally one is seen in white trousers with a black and white shepherd's-plaid coat having a bright red vest. Wide Fringes Used. Fringe trimmed parasols are being shown among the new things for spring, the fringe being of silk or worsted, fully four inches wide and in matching, or brilliantly contrasting colors. Efficacious Massage Massage to be efficacious, must be gentle, firm, regular and accomplished with a rotary upward motion of the finger tips, except about the eyes. In middle life, massage must also be accomplished with a lump of ice. Hot Weather Help Hand-painted fans are in vogue for the hot days. They are huge pointed affairs of dyed palm leaves, with a futuristic design of apples or flowers or birds or just plain futurism on the outside. still further improve the appearance of this dainty bit of feminine wear. Dolly Boxes. Instead of the flat case for dolles that has enjoyed much popularity for the last few years, one may use a round box, just big enough to hold the dolles in question, and an inch or two high. This box is covered with cretonne. Boxes can be bought in different sizes for different sized dolles, at prices ranging from 65 to 85 cents. --- Dolly Boxea. OMELET AS IT SHOULD BE Perfect Preparations Are Absolutely Necessary if Delicacy is to Be a Success. Many a good cook admits herself a failure when it comes to making an omelet. This simple dish is exceedingly difficult to make successfully, and unless one knows just how to proceed the omelet, instead of being light and fluffy, will be flat, heavy and unappetizing. To make an omelet you must keep the pan for this purpose only. Do not wash it, but clean it out well with paper after use. If you need to make omelets of varying size keep a small and a large pan. It is more difficult to make a small omelet nicely in a large than in a small pan. Have a fairly hot fire ready, melt some fat in the pan, just enough to grease it all over and no more, and make certain that the pan is hot. Break the eggs one by one into a cup to be sure they are fresh; then place in a bowl and whip well. The mixing must be thorough or the white will set in streaks and not mingle with the yolk as it should do. The whites should not be benten separately, as is the custom of many cooks. This is only needed when making an omelet souffle. Add salt and pepper, and if liked a little chopped parsley, and should a taste of onion be liked a half teaspoonful (to two eggs) of onion juice. Now pour the mixture into the hot pan. It should cover it thinly. Shake about well over the fire. An experienced omelet cook will not need to use a fork, but will turn the omelet one-half over the other by means of a shoving forward sort of shake of the pan. The side of the egg mixture which touches the pan will cook quicker than the other, but when folded the inner heat will cook it still more in the few seconds which elapse between the cooking and serving of the dish. Place on a hot dish and serve immediately. Some cooks roll the omelet into pancake form by means of shaking the pan; others merely fold it. The omelet should be flaky and moist inside and just set—not in the least hard on the outside. As a rule the fault of the making lies in insufficient mixing of the egg and over cooking. When a fancy omelet is needed dice of ham may be stirred in or mince, spinach purée, stewed mushrooms or kidneys, or cooked asparagus tops placed on one-half and the second half folded over. Around the House. No fruit jar that has been standing for weeks is free from germs. Before putting fruit in them they should be thoroughly sterilized by boiling in soda water. When marking linen handkerchiefs with indelible ink, first starch the handkerchiefs and iron them smooth. Then you can mark them clearly with ease. When making egg custard pies always heat the milk to the boiling point before mixing it with the eggs. If this rule is followed the undercrust will always be crisp. When you have no one to hold the yarn while you wind it, place two flat-irons the proper distance apart, on the table, stretch the yarn to them and wind it conveniently. Quick Cake. This recipe is offered with the specific injunction that the ingredients be placed in a bowl all together and beaten rather than added separately, as the success of the cake depends upon this. The cake requires one-third cupful of soft butter, one and one-third cupful of brown sugar, two eggs, one-half cupful of milk, one and one-quarter cupfuls of flour, three teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one-half teaspoonful of cinnamon, one-half teaspoonful of nutmeg and one-half pound of dates, stoned and cut in pieces. Bake in buttered and floured cake pan 30 to 40 minutes. Delicate Summer Blend Put about three inches of freshly made Ceylon tea the strength you like it in a tall glass; add finely crushed ice, three or four thin slices of lemon or limes and fill up with hot water. The fusion makes a delicious flavor if blended hot, and when it is thoroughly cold, taken without sugar it seems to refresh the cool, while the extreme faintness of the flavor is far nicer than strong tea. Try it.—Woman's Wear. Fish Flakes With Bacon Boll potatoes in salted water until tender; and two cupfuls of flaked fish, a fourth of a teaspoonful of pepper and a beaten egg. Take up by the rounding tablespoonful, shape lightly and fry in deep fat to a delicate amber color. Roll slices of bacon into cylinders, run a toothpick through each to hold it in place and fry until well cooked. Serve a bacon roll with each fish ball. Cocoa Pudding. Three slices of white bread crumbled fine, one egg well beaten, one cupful sugar, one-quarter teaspoonful salt, three dessertspoonfuls cocoa mixed with a little boiling water, enough to make a paste. Beat for a minute or two. Add one quart sweet milk. Mix all together, put into a thick baking dish and bake one hour. Serve very cold with thin cream and sugar. Fried Sweetbreads. Cut two cooked (bolled and pressed) sweetbreads into one-quarter inch thick slices, and coat them with cold Bachamel sauce. When set, dip them into a light frying batter, and fry a golden brown in boiling fat. Drain them and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange them on a hot dish, garnish with fried parsley and serve with tomato or pliquate sauce. Custard Rice Pudding. Two cupfuls of cooked rice, one cupful of sugar, yolks of three eggs, rind of orange and one lemon, juice of the lemon, one cupful milk. Bake half hour. Beat whites of three eggs with a little sugar, then place in oven to brown. Add bits of jelly on top when taken from oven. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. E. O. SELLERH, Acting Director of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) (Copyright, 1916, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR AUGUST 27 JOURNEYING TO JERUSALEM. LESSON TEXT—Acts 20:16-38. GOLDEN TEXT—I command you to God and to the word of his grace—Acts 20:33. After his experience in Ephesus Paul went to Corinth, where, amidst much sickness and affliction, he cared for the churches, corrected their wrong conduct and probably wrote several of his letters and epistles (II Cor. 4:7-11; 11:28; 12:20). From Corinth he journeyed by way of Phillipi to Trous where he preached his famous long sermon (v. 5-12), that sermon which had such a tragic result. It is recorded as a witness to the power of the prayer of faith and Paul's readiness to serve in time of need. In his haste to reach Jerusalem before the Day of Pentecost (A. D. 58). Paul did not return to Ephesus, but, in order to save time, he had the elders of that church meet him at Miletus (See a good map). 1. A Great Review (vv. 17-28). Paul's statesmanship and genius for organization is nowhere more clearly set forth than here. He had plans for a great evangelistic campaign of Latin lands, (Ch. 19:21). Before pursuing his plan he decided to visit Jerusalem, carrying with him the collections which had been systematically taken up in the various churches on this tour (Rom. 15:26; I Cor. 16:1-5; Acts 24:17) and he was accompanied by a considerable number of pilgrims. (See v. 4.) It is a good thing to pause occasionally and to take stock, to review our lives and to see what progress we have made. This Paul did, and to this Ephesian delegation he enumerates (1) his character among them (vv. 18-19). They knew his manner of life, how that, as a bond servant, and "with all lowiness of mind," he had served their church. They also knew that with tears he had wept over their hard and impenitent hearts (vv. 31) and all of this amidst many testings; (2) his method of work (vv. 20). Paul not only worked at his trade of tentmaking, but found time for the public proclamation of the gospel and also house to house visitation. He was after men, not notoriously. He was always and ever at it, amidst trials, self-denial and the "lying in wait," (Am. R. V.) of men; (3) his methods (vv. 21). He had the same message for Jew and Gentile, "repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ." Repentance is not for Jews alone. Paul shrank not from declaring all that was profitable for their encouragement, reproof, warning, help, training in service and hard study. He had taught them publicly in classes, and had visited them from house to house and had invited them to his own home. Paul's aim, as is the teacher's aim, was to make all people patriotic citizens of the kingdom of heaven while on earth, that they might fight the good fight of faith against all evils, even the principalities and powers of evil, and build up the heavenly character in all men by overcoming evil with good; (4) his prospects (vv. 22-24). Constrained in spirit, under an obligation, though not outwardly bound, Paul knew and felt himself as one bound by conscience and duty to go on his way to Jerusalem in order to carry out his plan of a united, federated church of Jews and Gentiles. He "counted not his life as dear unto himself" if so he might hold out until the end and accomplish his course and ministry. This epoch-making journey, one of the greatest in history, suggests in many points our Savior's last journey towards that same city (Luke 9:51). Like his master, Paul knew that ahead of him were trials, but he also knew that God was leading him in obedience to the Spirit's guidance, though it was over the protests of his friends. He was to have the unique experience of visiting the land he so longed and desired to visit—Rome—not at his own expense but at the expense of the empire, and in a manner which gave him an entree into the courts of the emperor, also to testify to the truth before governors and rulers along that journey. II. A Great Charge (vv. 28-38). It is a great experience when one can declare himself pure from the blood of all men (v. 28), and that he has not shrunk from declaring the whole counsel of God. Such conduct always brings an obligation upon those who know and hear such men, viz., that it should be emulated. These elders were to return to the church at Ephesus, not to be servants of themselves but to feed the church of God (v. 28). Paul knew, as a prophet, what would be in store for them (vv. 29-30). Therefore he exhorts them to watch, and warns them how by his own hands he had supported himself and had lived a righteous life among them (v. 34). He commends them (v. 31) "to God and to the Word of his grace which is able to build them up and to give them an inheritance among all them which are sanctified" (John 17:17). It was not stubbornness on Paul's part which led him to go to Jerusalem. He was bound in the spirit, and that same spirit which was leading him would also remove the obstacles and abide with these elders as they went back to their ministry in Ephesus, and help them to live lives of service and not of covetousness (vv. 33-34). He had shown them all things needful, and exhorts them in a marvelous way (v. 35). We have here rescued from oblivion a new saying of our Lord Jesus Christ, "It is more blessed to give than to receive," one not found in the gospels. It is this giving which produces a higher quality of happiness and a more noble character.

The young man who starts out in life walking round a pool table is not likely to get very far. Negroes should trade with their own people, and those who receive this consideration should be sure to render value for value. There are two sides to the question. A colored business men should expect trade not because he is black, but in spite of it. Those citizens who failed this week to attend the public sessions of the N. M. A. have missed a rare opportunity. One may dodge the Negro business man by trading with the white shopkeeper, he may sit upon the back gallery seats and applaud cheap white players, he may stay out of range of the colored preacher, but he must eventually come to the Negro physician. Then why not be come acquainted in advance? Down in the Democratic South last week they only lynched five men and two women of our race. These were accused of aiding in the escape of a Negro murderer. The mob did not know where the murderer went or what direction he took but three colored men and two colored women knew the culprit, and for that they were murdered by citizens who have been admonishing Germany for its cruelty toward the Belgians.

Shows Some Wonderful Effects in Young Girl's Indoor Frocks—Linen and Taffeta Costumes in Blue Are Popular. Worth has revived interest in fine spotted muslin. This delightful artist has, of recent years, made rather a speciality of young girl's indoor frocks, and in this connection he has done wonderful things with cobweb muslin, dotted over with black spots, narrow bands of black velvet ribbon and real Valenciennes lace insertions. Some effective muslins have recently been seen which showed heliotrope and black spots on a white ground, and others which had rather large white spots thrown against a background of eggshell-blue. These spotted muslins are worn over plaited, or gathered, underskirts made of mousseline de sole, and one almost always finds an important looking sash playing an important role in the dress scheme. Black velvet ribbon sashes are again popular. These are worn with muslin, linen or lace frocks. Shot taffeta sashes are also very much in evidence. Doucet is combining plain linen with spotted muslin in a bright successful way. For instance, a model intended for the Blairritz season which had a full skirt of white spotted muslin mounted over shell-pink pongee and a sleeveless coatee of shell-pink linen. The coatee was fastened up to the throat with little pink quartz buttons and there was a wide ceinture of heliotrope suede worked over with silver threads. This costume, which was extremely pretty, was accompanied by a shady made of white pedal straw and lined with heliotrope linen. The high crown was circled by a trail of blackberry and rambler roses. Flowered muslins and thin silks are also combined with plain linen. In fact it may be said that linen is combined with every possible and impossible material. In one of my recent articles I spoke in detail of the effective linen and taffeta costumes which the Parisian tailors are making for mid-summer wear. In various shades of blue, light and dark, these linen and taffeta costumes are amazingly popular. I have also A New Parisian Coiffure. seen them in bright shades of red and in deep purple. Taffeta coattes, worn over plaited linen skirts, will be ubiquitous this summer at Biarritz and San Sebastian. These coattes are made in a variety of different forms, but in almost all cases they are short, with very full basques and elbow sleeves. Cobalt-blue is the latest shade for taffeta coattes. Another fashionable color is deep orange yellow. Very lovely muslin gowns, for afternoon wear, are made of lemon-yellow muslin and old yellow valenciennes lace. A gown of this order would look lovely if finished with a picturesque sash made of black velvet ribbon. Crepe Sleeping Suit. An English fashion is a crepe de chine sleeping suit. It is shaped something like pajamas—pantaloons which roll up into a deep cuff and a top something like a man's pajama top only that it is longer and looser, more like a Russian blouse. The sleeves roll back like the pantaloons into cuffs. The rolled over revers in front made a long revers. A sash of the material does not encircle the pajama coat on the outside all the way around; it passes through a slit in the sides, tying in front on the outside. Red and Pink Hats Veiled in Blue. The Parisienne is at present wearing hats of the simplest description, but she permits herself the greatest liberty in colors and vells. A shape of straw in vivid petunia red, much the shape of a man's straw hat, but with a slightly wider brim, is draped with a lace veil of even more brilliant red. Another hat of the same shade carries a brilliant blue lace veil. Blue vells are worn over the pale pink hats, which are worn at the moment by everyone in Paris.—Vogue. Jumpers for Girls. Little girls are wearing jumpers for morning play hours. They are cut as a one-piece frock, except the bottom which is planned to gather up into bloomers. These jumpers may be prettily trimmed, and they save petticoats. Lace Profusely Used. Lace of all kinds is profusely used on evening dresses. Venetian point is worn velled with silk, muslin or tulle, and many skirts are trimmed with lace and have a foundation of metal lace. HERE'S A USEFUL ARTICLE Dressing Case That Is Acceptable Gift for Man Who Travels Much. Our sketch shows a useful little article that would form a very acceptable gift to make for a man who has much travelling to do. The size of the case to a certain extent will depend upon the size of the articles it has to contain. For the exterior of it mackintosh is used, and for this purpose, as not a very large piece will be required, plenty of good material may be gleaned from an old mackintosh that has become too shabby to wear. The mackintosh is lined with strong linen and bound at the edges with narrow ribbon, but prior to doing this the pockets must be sewn in place. They, too, are made of strong linen and bound at the edges with narrow ribbon, and the pockets for the brush and soap must be made full enough to enable those articles to be easily slipped into them. The case is rolled up loosely from the bottom, and tapes are sewn on at TOOTH BRUSH. COMB BRUSH SOAP A Useful Dressing Case. the back by which it may be secured when so closed, and the small sketch at the top of the illustration shows this accomplished. Words indicating the contents of the pockets are worked upon each of them with silk, selected of a color to match the ribbon. SOME FASHION HINTS Spanish scarfs in bright orange and black are very becoming to brunettes. Gaberdine grows in favor and use, wearing as well as serge. Some of the new veils are edged with jet spangles, irregularly worked. Fancy metal bands are coming in for millinery purposes. The nose veil is very smart and may be seen all winter. Colored linens are much used for children's wash dresses. The cartridge plait is retained in the new French costumes. Black net robes for evening are bordered with colored silk. Broad bands of fur will be seen on the tunic of fall dresses. Gold brocaded silk makes the prettiest of evening slippers. Castor and gray are the best colors —after black—for shoes. Broad-brimmed high-crowned hats are in straw of two colors. The vogue for gray shoes has increased the demand for gray gloves. Cyclamen-colored satin velvet with royal blue nets is a new combination. Contees of white serge are made to be worn with navy taffeta dresses. The modified circular skirt with belt is in high favor for tailored suits. Table Mats Again. And now enters the vogue of table mats again! In certain surroundings and under certain circumstances these mats are good looking. They are braided from chintz in paisley patterns and are easily made. The chintz is torn into inch-wide strips, braided carefully, so that all raw edges are folded in and the braid rolled into round or oval mats, from a few inches in diameter to larger sizes. Probably the best place for such mats is the room with furnishings on colonial lines. They might also fit in with the new painted cottage furniture, which is far from formal, but quaint. Boudoir Capes. An interesting rumor from Paris has it that for the lady of leisure who likes to sip her chocolate or coffee abed there is a new little cape made of silk, or cretonne, or linen in pattern and coloring to match the wall paper or hangings of the bedroom. The cape is thrown about the seminude shoulders while the wearer partakes of her simple breakfast. There is less bother in the adjustment of the cape than in the putting on of the usual negligee. It is likely that the boudoir cape will become popular with American women of the leisure class. A Fresh Gown. When a light muslin or organdie dress becomes limp, without being soiled, wring out a piece of old linen or cheese cloth; lay the dress on the cloth, and roll them up together. After remaining thus for several hours iron the dress on the wrong side, and it will have the desired amount of stiffness when finished. Gray Taffeta Hats. Gray straw and taffeta hats are trimmed with silver bullet buttons—a new device in the millinery world which has not received much attention as yet from the mass of people over here. By the way, it is well to remember this fashion when you buy a hat, for Paris is laying stress on it every week. Costume Jewelry. The latest development of costume jewelry is the bracelet and hair band to match. Some of the newest evening gowns have long, floating angel sleeves, caught to the wrist by bangles of gem studded filgree gold of the same design as the circlet worn around the head. City of the Saints USUALLY it's the young school man who pre-empts the seat next the driver of the sightseeing auto, who asks the question: "Is polygmy really extinct among these Mormons?" The others behind strain their ears, for they've been dying to make the same query. You see, in Salt Lake City you never can tell. Our own guide about the city, for example, was an intelligent young Mormon who was born under the system, writes Felix J. Koch in the Utica Globe. In reply they tell you volubly and vaguely that the United States courts have declared polygamy to be illegal, and the Mormon church itself some short time after promulgated an edict forbidding its practice. The entraince is the most significant, reached by a similar stair of the great on a platform vey the vask is the area other series of other organ. T wood; the g them all had to Utah." I hand, a large. Then covered over beyond you pews, yellow in these, in four Visitors to Salt Lake City naturally seek first of all the "holy of holles" of Mormonism, the Temple block. This, if nothing else, makes one admit that a people, born of polygamy, who can accomplish such wonders as just this structure here, are undoubtedly the peers of many monogamous races. Out on what was the desert at the time of the Mormons' coming, in a desert which tires the traveler even as he glides across it now by railway, there is a city that is as beautiful as any in the land. And its most beautiful thing is this Temple block. You enter by one of the large gates built of wooden gratings and come upon a small brick structure housing the bureau of information and headquarters for guides. The steps lead up between two lions into the little struc- THE T C are reserved to this end; beds of palm and cacti are banked at either side, and ahead broad cement walks seem to invite you to obtain your cicerone and explore. With a "sister of the church" as guide, you start. In the court she halts to tell the story of the sea gulls, to whose memory the new statue is in course of erection, then continues on to the great granite churchlike building that serves as assembly hall. Within the church body is divided by two long aisles, simple walls of white plastering, reaching up to the roof. The interior is not as large as the Tabernacle, and so suits certain purposes better. The Mammoth Organ. The assembly hall has a notable new mammoth organ, concerts on which also draw crowds. Just before it the arrangement is typical of Mormon assembly houses. High above, the ceiling is attractive, too, being divided into sections by curving ridges of a heavy wood. Throughout the assembly hall will bear comparison with church structures in any part of the world. Crossing the court once more, you learn more of the Mormons. No stated time for worship is set by them. Prayer may be held at any time. The rail. You look straight across to the organ front, to realize distances here, then recall how the gallery is built back some two feet and a half from the wall in order to better the acoustics. Off in the distance, 200 feet or more from where you sit, a janitor, busy cleaning, drops a pin on the rail and you hear it quite distinctly. He rubs his hands and you catch the sound as though you stood close by. All this, remember, is not result of chance, but careful planning by the Mormons. The tomb of Absalom is located in the Valley of Jehoshaphet, Palestine. Because of the attempt of Absalom to usurp the throne of his father David, the Jews in all ages have held him in deepest contempt. Whenever a Jew passes this tomb he spits at it and hurts a stone against it. Its height is thus being gradually lessened by the heaps of stones around it. As can be seen, vegetation is growing on the top of this tomb at the height of 40 feet. It has been much broken on the north side, and an opening made into a small sepulchral chamber within the solid part. Time-Honored Advice. If a man whose integrity you do not very well know makes you great and extraordinary professions, do not give much credit to him. Probably you will find that he alms at something besides kindness to you and that when he has served his turn, or been disappointed, his regard for you will cool. Beware also of him who flatters you and commends you to your face, or to one who, be thinks, will tell you of it; most The entrance to this huge Tabernacle is the more unique because so insignificant. Just a small rear door, reached by a wee step. Thence on, up similar stairs, you pass, to the heart of the great Tabernacle. You emerge on a platform that allows you to survey the vast spaces. Just before you is the area for the choir, behind you other series of chairs tier up to the big organ. The instrument is of heavy wood; the great pipes glided and over them all hangs the legend, "Welcome to Utah." Before the pulpit, close at hand, a large leather bench has position. Then comes an array of chairs, covered over when not in service. On beyond you face the monster arena of pews, yellow, long, smooth benches these, in four endless series, stretching back from the rail; their evenness broke only by a curious series of yellow posts, richly veined, that extend back in severe rows to support the balcony. Well over that balcony slopes the curious arched roof, ofe of the greatest arches of its sort in existence. Down from it depend great chandellers to illumine the chamber. At the heart of the roofing two skylights, square cut, accentuate to the eye the height of this ceiling, as well as reveal its thickness. Temple All of Wood. Meanwhile your guide tells how all the structure was put up of wood, and this at a time when the builders were 1,000 miles from a railway. A people that could erect such a thing as this, whether born in polygamy or not, is not to be desplaced. Nor has it failed to TEMPLE keep pace with the times. The organ, for example, is run by electricity, and a people who will invest in an organ of 5,500 pipes, ranging from half an inch to 35 feet in size, cannot be lacking in culture. Far down at the front of the organ the three seats await the presiding officers. Sometimes 22 presiding officers are marshaled here. Your guide explains the division of the Church of Mormon here, while you fix the picture in your memory. You note the strange spotting caused by age upon the ceiling above; you note the strange chandeliers more closely. By and by you take the steps to the balcony, occupying one of the innumerable seats that range back from the rail. You look straight across to the organ front, to realize distances here, then recall how the gallery is built back some two feet and a half from the wall in order to better the acoustics. Off in the distance, 200 feet or more from where you sit, a janitor, busy cleaning, drops a pin on the rail and you hear it quite distinctly. He rubs his hands and you catch the sound as though you stood close by. All this, remember, is not result of chance, but careful planning by the Mormons. probably he has either deceived and abused you or means to do so. Remember the fable of the fox commending the singing of the crow, who had something in her mouth which the fox wanted. Be careful that you do not commend yourself. It is a sign that your reputation is small and sinking if your own tongue must praise you.—Sir Matthew Hale. Puzzlers. An intelligent Frenchman was studying the English language. "When I discovered that if I was quick I was fast," said he, "and that if I was tied I was fast, if I spent too freely I was fast, and that not to eat was to fast, I was discouraged. But when I came across the sentence, The first one won one dollar prize, I was tempted to give up trying to learn English." An Observing Boy's Question. "Pn." "What is it, my boy? "How rich does a man have to be before people will make excuses for his bad habits?" THE TEMPLE Puzzlers REASONS FOR GROWING OLD. Men of Research Have Been Unable to Agree as to Why the Human Frame Debitates. To the question. "Why do we grow old?" many answers have been given. Meischnikoff suggested that we are poisoned by the absorption of the products of bacterial activity in the large intestine, for this brings about hardening of the walls of the arteries and also corrupts our bodyguard of wandering ameboid cells so that they become traitors, turning upon the cells of the central nervous system. Others have suggested other modes of autoinoxication. To some it has seemed enough to refer to wear and tear of hard-worker organs like brain and heart, liver and kidneys, for a chain is no stronger than its weakest link. Others have referred to the waning activity of the all-important organs of internal secretion, and others to the important fact that there is no multiplication or replacement of the cells of our central nervous system after a very early date in our life. It may be pointed out, however, that most, if not all, of the theories break down because they do not admit of all-round application. Thus it is plain that many animals that are not troubled with a large intestine neverless grow old. Furthermore, the theories seize on symptoms rather than on causes, for while it is good sense to refer to wear and tear, the question arises why all animals do not exhibit the perfect recuperation to which some at least have attained. Prof. Child, of Chicago, has been working for 15 years or more with simple creatures called Planarian worms. One of the features of their life which he brought to light is their capacity for periodically becoming young again. Thus it often happens that a Planarian separates off the posterior third or quarter of its body, which speedily grows into a whole, while the diminished original heals itself and grows a new tail. When a Planarian is starved it can continue living on its own resources for several months. Its cells become smaller and they also become fewer, but life is not surrendered. Such facts have led Prof. Child to a survey of the animal kingdom, the result of which is to show that there is a much wider occurrence of rejuvenescence than has been hitherto realized. It occurs especially in connection with vegetative multiplication, but there are other occasions in which the creature becomes younger in whole or in part by lying low for a season. Perhaps this may be part of the value of processes of dying back and rearrangement which occur in winter in some animals and in many plants. Blood Transfusion. This month's number of La Revue describes a new method of transfusion of blood, an operation often necessary under conditions which do not always allow certain precautions to be taken. The method is due to Prof. Luis Agote, an Argentine surgeon, and successful experiments have been made before the rector of the Sorbonne, the dean of the faculty of medicine, and several professors and doctors. Blood is taken from the bend of the elbow of the subject willing to lend his aid and collected in a receptacle which contains a solution of neutral citrate of soda, prepared in the proportion of one gram of salt for 100 grams of blood. This mixture prevents the blood from coagulating, without destroying its vital properties, and as the citrate employed is in offensive to the organism it can be injected into the forearm without danger, thus obviating the chief drawbacks to the transfusion as generally practiced. The receptacle for the blood drawn is a graduated glass with double tubing and has a large enough opening to allow the blood to fall directly into it. The end is pointed to allow the tube for injection to collect the maximum of blood without allowing air to enter. From three to five grams of solution are placed in it, a sufficient quantity for 300 grams of blood.—Paris Correspondence to New York Sun. Investigating New Serum Investigating New Serum. Scientists in the Johns Hopkins university are experimenting with a newly discovered serum which they believe will eventually be able to restore a person to life after asphyxiation or drowning. The experiments performed upon animals in a number of instances restored them to life after they had been to all appearances dead for several hours. A few days ago an animal was brought back to life four hours after its apparent death by the injection of this serum. In this case, however, the animal died shortly afterward from blood pressure. It is believed that this tendency can be overcome and the new serum utilized in the resuscitation of human beings who would otherwise "die" permanently. Electric Lamps in Verdun Fighting. According to a special correspondent of the New York Times, electric pocket lamps have played an important role in at least one engagement around Verdun, namely, the retaking of the Haudmont quarries by the French, of which he says in part: "Underground in the quarries the darkness was absolute save when bursting grenades showed brief visions of carnage and terror. Friend often grappled friend, until the French adopted the plan of fastening an electric pocket lamp to the tunic button. The light gave the Germans a better mark, but enabled the French to rally together and sweep the foe back in the final rush en masse." Brussian Cities Bux Milch Prussian Cities Buy Milch Goats. A number of German cities have taken practical steps to solve the milk problem, which still is very serious in the large centers of population. Twelve of the largest Prussian municipalities have bought 75,000 goats in Switzerland. The animals have been turned over to the owners of small farms in the suburbs of the cities on condition that they deliver 70 per cent of the milk obtained from the goats to the relief stations, where it is distributed among poor families with small children. The goats furnish 200,000 quarts of milk a day NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Putting Postal Guide Among the "Best Sellers" WASHINGTON.—As a book and magazine seller the government has not always kept the prices of its wares down to a point where the pocket-books of the rank and file of its citizens would not be strained by acquiring POSTAL GUIDE $350 NOW 75¢ NOW THEY OUGHT TO SELL monthly supplements, and a very small justified in buying it.

Believing that greater use of the volume will make for greater efficiency in the utilization of the complicated mall facilities, the post office department has taken steps to place the guide in the list of "best sellers" among government volumes by radically reducing the price. Instead of $3.50, the maximum price for the best bound of the books with all supplements will be 75 cents, while abridgments constituting a postal handbook sufficiently comprehensive for most users can be obtained for as little as 15 cents. The department is anxious to have its constructive step accomplish the desired purpose, and hopes that a copy of the heretofore little known guide will soon be found in the office of every concern engaged in domestic or foreign business, every school and institution, and, in fact, in the hands of every person who makes use of the postal service. Persons who use extensively the parcel post will find the guide of special value, the department believes. The disbursing clerk of the post office department in Washington is the subscription agent for the government's new low-cost guide book. Last Sculptures Placed on the National Capitol Last Sculptures Placed on the National Capitol AT LAST the pediment of the east portico of the house of representatives' wing of the capitol has been adorned with its sculptured group. The figures which Paul Wayland Bartlett has been engaged upon since 1909 have finally been carved and settled in their final places. It is gratifying in these days of supreme patriotic interest to know that the whole piece of work, from start to finish, is essentially American. Mr. Bartlett is a native son, despite his close association with France and French art. The figures themselves symbolize phases of American life and their treatment emphasizes this in their minor details, facts which are singularly representative of this coun- try and its ideals. Lastly, the group has been cut from Georgia marble in preference to the generally used Italian marble, and this is a completing touch to the general keynote of Americanism. try and its ideals.

This is distinctively an American conception, and is in line with Mr. Bartlett's desire to escape the banality of much of the modern sculpture which relies solely on classical types for expressions of American ideals. The entire group may be divided for purposes of description into three sections, though the general theme is so dominant throughout that all the parts are fused into a harmonious whole. The central group expresses the idea of Peace protecting Genius, and the armed figure of Peace, a majestic woman, clad in a coat of mall and draped about with a mantle, extends a protecting right arm over the winged and youthful figure of Genius, who nestles on the floor at her feet, holding aloft a flaming torch, the light of his power. Sustaining this group on either side are the figures which represent, on the right, agricultural and pastoral life and, on the left, the industrial life of the shop and foundry. Uncle Sam Will Seek Heirs to Many Millions THE United States government is planning to aid in the task of finding missing heirs to the millions of dollars of unclaimed accounts which are lying dormant in national banks throughout the country. Consideration is being given to the problem of discovering the rightful owners of unclaimed money by the treasury department, it is announced, and as a result of the work hundreds of poor people may be enriched in a manner which will give material to fiction writers. The comptroller of the currency's office has estimated that unclaimed bank accounts to the extent of millions of dollars are lying in banks merely because persons who have a rightful their existence.

Officials recognize the opportunity for fraud in the claiming of accounts, but the legislation planned will throw safeguards around unclaimed funds which will require presentation of evidence indubitably establishing identity. Officials state that these unclaimed accounts arise largely through the deposit of money by men without their wives' or heirs' knowledge. Sudden death intervenes and leaves no connecting link of information, so the account goes unclaimed. Some American banks have unclaimed accounts half a century old and, more it is stated. How Government Clerks Cut the Cost of Living "SPECIALIZE, get your money in advance and cut the corners on handling, is the only way to conduct co-operative buying to a successful end," is t advice of G. K. Weston, who buys certain products of the farm and stapl advice in G. K. Weston, who buys cegroeries for more than a thousand government clerks, and thereby cuts the cost of living for each family from $15 to $25 a month. A saving of from $15,000 to $25,000 a month on the cost of living to a thousand of the eighteen hundred members of a single club sounds exaggerated, and yet it is being done by that number of the employees of Uncle Sam.

His one idea was to form a connection between the producer and the consumer at just as little cost as possible; and it was with this idea that co-operative buying was taken up as a special feature of the Home club. There was considerable controversy over the advance cash system when it was first suggested to the officers of the club, even Secretary Lane putting in his protest. But at a meeting of the club directors Mr. Weston so ably presented his reasons for such an unheard-of proposition that he carried his point. The special plea for this pay-in-advance proposition is that it saves much time, and enables the manager to accompany his order with cash. The value of the latter is seen at a glance and the time saved is almost incalculable. GOOD MISSOURI RAT STORY.

"In daughter." morning and said: "Pa, ma surely must The Reward By Hester Vaile Deane "Quick, Marcy, the medicine!" "Is it another bad spell, Mr. Tresham?" "No, I'm better now," said Gregory Tresham, after taking a deep draught of a cordial the doctor had left. He sank back among the pillows gasping for breath, but the momentary stimulus had given him strength and the waxy color in his face partly disappeared. "I had better go for the doctor," suggested Lucius Marcy, but the old man nodded his head negatively. "It would be of no use," he said. "My hours are pretty near numbered, lad. There is something on my mind, Marcy, and yet I hesitate to speak it to you." "Surely I will honor whatever you may impart or direct me to do," replied Marcy. "I know that you have been a faithful honest help to me, Marcy, and that is why it cuts me deep to think that I must do something that may look like ingratitude." "Speak out, Mr. Tresham," encouraged Marcy. "You owe me no special gratitude. Your kindness and appreciation have repaid me for anything I have done for you out of the ordinary." "Well, Marcy, I made my will last week." "I did not know that." "It is at the lawyer's, and it leaves you everything I have." "You astonish me," said Marcy sincerely, "I do no deserve such consideration. You have no relatives, Mr. Tresham?" "None I care for or who care for me, and, if I had, I would look first to those who have been by my side and have made my declining years comfortable. No, no, Marcy—for five years you have been a true and loyal servant. More than that, like a son. But The Voice Died Down. there is something, there is something—" The old man faltered, his eyes closed and his mind wandered. After a few moments he seemed to again get the connection. "Oh, yes," he spoke low and mumbling. "It was of Hester Vaile I am thinking. Poor lass! I have wronged her. Two years before you came she was my nurse, like an own daughter. She was my dead sister's child. I promised to care for her. She was sensitive, proud spirted. I was high tempered, unjust. I spoke bitter words to her. I taunted her with waiting for my property. She gave me one look of reproach and then she left. I have never seen her since. Then you came and oh! what has become of her to whom I promised protection? I made a will in her favor once, but I changed it in your behalf—in your behalf—in your— The voice died down, a convulsive shudder crossed the old man's frame. His jaw dropped. In alarm Marcy ran to the nearest neighbor to telephone for the doctor. He was too late. When he returned to the house Gregory Tresham was dead. Marcy missed him, for he had been a kind and indignant friend. He had trusted implicitly in Marcy, giving him the entire management of the little farm. The village lawyer came to see Marcy one evening a week later. He announced to his client that he was the sole heir to the farm and that a thousand dollars in the bank had also been left to him. All those days Marcy had been thinking over the last significant utterance of Gregory Tresham. It was obvious to him that the old man, had his strength lasted longer, would have suggested some change in his will to favor Hester Valle. "Mr. Morse," he spoke out now, to the infinite amazement of the lawyer, "can that will be destroyed?" "The will—destroyed?" repeated the attorney, marvellingly—"why, what do you mean?" "Well, can it?" persisted Marcy. "Certainly not—it is on record." Marcy proceeded to tell Mr. Morse of the incident attending the last moments of his employer. He stated definitely that he could not think of accepting the legacy, when unmistakably the dying intention of Mr. Tresham was to leave it to the girl he had driven from his love. "Nonsense! sentiment! ridiculous!" stormed the hard-headed lawyer. "A whim of his delirium, that about Hester Valle. You are entitled to what you've got, and, as I am glad to say, for your own good, you cannot change the bequest." All the same Lucius Marcy quietly went to the city the next day and paid an advance fee to an information bu- reun to try and locate the long-absent Hester Valle. Then he bought a ledger and a day book. Exery night Marcy put down the expenses and receipts of the day, and one item always: "Cash for one day's labor, Lucius Marcy, $1.50." "We have located Hester Valle," came a telegram from the city finally. "Await orders." "Send word that she is wanted at her former home with Gregory Tresham," was the return wire which Marcy sent. He was working at digging a drainage trench for the garden one day when an automobile drove up. A lady alighted, young, handsome, but her face was that of one who had seen sorrow. "I am Mrs. Newland," she spoke. "I was sent for," and then, as she noted a puzzled look in Marcy's face, she added—"but, perhaps, I am best known here as Hester Valle." "That is right," bowed Marcy in his frank, direct way. "Will you take a seat on the porch, please," and, seated, also, he told his story. "I have kept the place just as it was as a worker for you," he explained. "If you wish me to remain—" He paused, she was staring at him in a strange way. "You mean to tell me," she faltered "that you wish to give your property to me?" "As Mr. Tresham desired on his deathbed, certainly," gravely responded Marcy. She continued to stare at him. Then he noted a dim moisture come to her eyes. She addressed him: "Will you do me a favor?" "Certainly, madam." "Let me go into the old room where I used to sit with Mr. Tresham. Let me rest—rest after all these years of turmoil and sorrow. Ah, dear old home—would that I had never left it!" She came out at the end of half an hour. She put her hand in his own at parting. She looked steadily into his eyes. "You are a good man," she said. "I will see Mr. Morse and send you word of my decision." "Thank you," bowed Marcy. The lawyer came to see him that evening. He recited a strange story. Hester Vaile had married a man of large wealth who had left her a fortune, but, as well, a legacy of mistreatment and neglect. She was a widow. To her the humble farm home as a value was less than a trifle, but its memories—! They came back to her polonantly now. She lingered at the town with an old friend for nearly a month. She was wont to come to the little farm and wander over it and talk with Marcy of the later life of her old uncle. And then one day she broke down, tired of the hollow worldly life that awaited her in the city. His heart went out to hers. He tried to console her. Perilous pity! Sweet sympathy; longing love! — through these the world-weary Hester came to be mistress of the only true home she had ever known. MERCIFUL NURSE TO MANKIND Charity Follows Heels of Calamities and Walks in Wake of Ravages of War. As a merciful nurse to mankind, Charley springs up in desolate places, cheerly and heartily bestowing beauty under most adverse conditions. It follows at the heels of calamities and visitations; it walks in the wake of the ravages and atrocities of war; it comes after the fall of the thunderbolt, after the concussion of the earthquake. It rides the tempest, the whirlwind, the flood, the tornado, and in the hours of threatening anger and dissension it covers up the scars of the past and thrusts prejudices and "vested rights" away in the blackness of midnight darkness. "Tis Charity who lays the coin in the beggar's hand. "Tis Charity who takes the orphan in its arms, houses the indigent and the aged, clothes the naked, feeds the hungry and lifts the fallen. We find it, as the late Urion B. Hunt once remarked, "standing at the prison gate, as it seeks those who have violated the laws of God and man, to counsel and aid in a proper reformation; we find it in the bowels of the earth. In the forest, upon the mountain top, in the shop and counting room, upon the green fields, in the valleys and upon the streets the wide world over—wherever sorrow and misfortune has placed its blighting grasp, it brings comfort to the tortured soul and spreads its rays of hope and encouragement."—"Friendship, Charity and Benevolence," George Leon Varney, in National Magazine. Right About Face. It is time to face about, to begin thinking of farming as man's earliest and noblest vocation, and of the country as the garden which the Lord commanded Adam to "keep and to dress," which may be properly interpreted as to conserve and to beautify. Thus we may cause it again to become what it should be, what it was ordained to be—man's natural abiding place and the means of sustenance to which cities in their proper relation are only market places for the exchange of commodities, and to which manufacture, transportation, industry and commerce are but the useful servants. Teutons Use Willow Herb as Hemp. German manufacturers have discovered that the willow herb which grows wild in Germany and also in this country and is commonly regarded as a weed can be used satisfactorily as a substitute for jute and hemp. They are encouraging the cultivation of the plant. The wild willow herb plants have been gathered extensively by school children during their vacations.—The Pathfinder. A War Oddity. On perusing a letter handed to him in Mesopotamia, Private Philip Nowell of the Somersetshire regiment, discovered that it had been written by his schoolgirl sister, who, in accordance with the practice of her schoolmates, had merely addressed it to a British soldier, leaving its destination to chance. Why West Point Cadet's Sing "Benny Havens. Oh!" The famous old ballad has been sung for nearly a century by the cadets of the United States Military Academy. Its history makes good reading We'll never fail to drink to her and Benny Havens, Oh! HO was Benny Havens? Ask the next West Pointer you meet to tell you something about Benny Havens. He knows and you'll find that his eyes will kindle at the mention of the name, says the New York Sun. West Pointers for half a century have told the story of Benny Havens — they have bled and died with it on their lips. Wherever Duty called they went, their steps were never slow — With Alma Mater on their lips, and "Benny Havens, Oh!" "Benny Havens, Oh!" is the epic of West Point. It is a story in song, the story of West Pointers and their sacrifices for duty, honor, West Point and country. This old academy of West Point, laid out on a rugged shelf overlooking the majestic sweep of the Hudson, has many prized traditions, unsullied, inalienable, but none more sacred to her sons than that of Benny Havens. Go to Cullum Memorial hall at West Point and read in imperishable letters of bronze the story of her sons. She has seen them march out of her sallyports singing "Benny Havens, Oh!" and seen them brought back while minute guns were echoing among the granite hills that surround her. The history of West Point is closely interwoven with that of our country; West Pointers have written bright pages in the annals of the land. "Benny Havens, Oh!" is the epic of West Point.

Wherever duty has summoned them West l'ointers have carried "Benny Havens, Oh!" The story of Benny Havens is almost as old as that of the academy itself. Many, many years ago, in 1824 to be precise, Benny Havens took up his residence on the southern border of what then constituted the post of West Point. Almost immediately he and the cadets became friends. He was a genial soul, generous, and of good company and an inimitable spinner of yarns, and he invariably piled his visitors with buckwheat cakes and maple siprup. Soon his refreshments acquired such fame that cadets often slipped away from their duties and made their way to Benny's retreat, where they found oblivion for their disciplinary woes. Almost every night after taps saw half a dozen daring cadets, who should have been in bed, gathered around Benny's bountiful table. Only for a short time did Benny's fare confine itself to buckwheat cakes and maple siprup. Grog and wine were added to the menu, an addition whereby Benny's popularity increased tenfold. About this time the West Point authorities, who had previously shut their eyes to Benny's liberalities, decided that the time had come to declare a blockade on Benny in so far as cadets were concerned, and consequently Benny's haven of delight became "off limits" for the future generals and punishment was meted out by those caught running the blockade. Jefferson Davis, afterward president of the Confederate states, had the distinction of being among the first batch of cadets court-martialed for midnight revels at Benny Havens'. Benny was warned that his generosity to cadets was demoralizing to discipline and that unless he called a halt summary proceedings would result. He was unable to refuse those few cadets who "run it out" to his home and finally he was expelled from the post shortly after 1829, taking up his abode at the base of a high cliff near the river's edge about a mile below West Point. Here he lived in a small frame house until his death in 1877 at the age of ninety.

Some of the verses of ten just after the war be only the following in To the army's brave com flow. Benny was warned that his generosity to cadets was demoralizing to discipline and that unless he called a halt summary proceedings would result. He was unable to refuse those few cadets who "ran it out" to his home and finally he was expelled from the post shortly after 1829, taking up his abode at the base of a high cliff near the river's edge about a mile below West Point. Here he lived in a small frame house until his death in 1877 at the age of ninety. He was buried in Union cemetery, about midway between Highland Falls and Fort Montgomery on the West Point road.

Sometimes a man who is called a fool accumulates money because he hasn't the wise man's vision for risks. France is looking forward to a wheat shortage. Its total available output will be about 212,830,600 bushels and the total consumption, owing in part to the large number of Belgians in France, will reach 312,151,800 bushels. The country will, therefore, have to import about $180,000,000 worth of wheat. W CONDENSATIONS The bottling trade of the British isles requires 70,000 tons of corn annually.

NYT "GUARD MOUNT" AT WEST POINT Point—Grant, Fitzhugh Lee, Sherman, Custer and others—spent happy hours in Benny's retreat. In 1838 Lieut. Lucius O'Brien of the Eighth United States Infantry paid a visit to Cadet Ripley A. Arnold, who was then a first classman. Point—Grunt, Fitzhugh Lee, Sherman, Custer and others—spent happy hours in Benny's retreat. In 1885 Lieut. Lucius O'Brien of the Eighth United States Infantry paid a visit to Cadet Ripley A. Arnold, who was then a first classman. Arnold introduced O'Brien to Benny Havens, a warm friendship at once springing up between the two. In the academy at this time were John Thomas Metcalfe, who after graduation studied medicine and became one of the foremost surgeons in the country, and Irvin McDowell, who commanded the Union forces at the first battle of Bull Run. Both Metcalfe and McDowell were great friends of Benny. Benny Havens, Lieutenant O'Brien, Metcalfe and Arnold together composed the original five verses of the song "Benny Havens, Oh!" and set it to the tune of "The Wearing of the Green." An obituary notice of Doctor Metcalfe says: "He had an early taste for versifying, and with skill at the guitar and a good tenor voice, composed many a ditty to pass away the idle time. It was thus that he wrote the celebrated song 'Benny Havens, Oh!'" It is not what would be called good poetry. Some of it is crude. Today there are about 50 verses, almost all of which were composed before Benny's death in 1877. Class after class added a verse. In the waning years of Benny's life almost every night the cadets sang them through, crowding round Benny, with glasses full, while their host led them with his fiddle and his low clear barytone. This fiddle, by the way, is still in possession of an old citizen of Highland Falls. Come, fill your glasses, fellows, and stand up in a row. To singi ng sentimentally we're going for to go. In the army there is sobriety, promotion's very slow. Soon there are on highness of honour Haven's Oh! Soon came along the Mexican war to furnish inspiration to the cadet poets. Several verses were added to the poem in commemoration of the deeds of those whose gallantry carried the American flag from Vera Cruz to the heights of Chapultepec, overlooking Montezuma's ancient capital.

The civil war saw stressful times at the Point and the cadets turned their attention to sterner things than poetry. The ranks of the corps were thinned by the loss of the Southerners, who went home to take up the cause of their respective states. Many of those from the North and South, who had been friends of Benny, fell on the field of glory—Manassas, Antietam, Gettysburg, the Wilderness and a hundred other places were stained with the blood of West Pointers. but his name be ever great at Benny Havens, Oh!

And the country which he honored now feels a heart-felt woe. As we toast his name in reverence at Benny Havens, Oh! During the last year of Benny's life came the stunning news that Custer and his men had fought their last fight. James E. Porter, Harrington and others, lieutenants and West Pointers all, perished with that gallant band. Not until Benny had died did these verses appear in memory of Custer and his command: In silence lift your glasses; a meteor flashes out So swift to death brave Custer; amid the battle's shout Death hend—and, crowned, he went to join the friends of long ago. To the land of Peace, where now he dwells with Benny Havens, Oh! We'll drop a tear for Harrington and his comrades, Custer's braves When we see him Who fell with none to see the deeds that glorified the graves; May they live forever with their graves. their graves? May their memory live forever with their glories present. Phi They've nobly earned the right to dwell with Benny Havens, Oh! Some of the other verses are fraught with the magic spirit of West Point—that spirit that is best summed up in the words, "Duty, Honor, Country, West Point," which are part of the motto of the academy. Nowadays at West Point every cadet memorizes the first three verses of "Benny Havens, Oh!" The first has already been given; the other two are as follows: To our kind old Alma Mater, our rock-bound Highland home May we cast back many a fond regret as o'er life's sea we roam. Until on our last battlefield the lights of heaven shall glow May we never fail to drink to her and Benny Havens, Oh! May the army be augmented, promotion be less slow. May our country in the hour of need be ready for the foe: May we find a soldier's resting place beneath a soldier's blow. With room enough beside our graves for Benny Havens, Oh! Wherever duty has led them West Pointers have sung "Benny Havens, Oh!" Since Benny's death these verses have appeared in commemoration of the deeds of West Pointers in all parts of this country: Wherever duty has led them West Pointers have sung "Benny Havens, Oh!" Since Benny's death these verses have appeared in commemoration of the deeds of West Pointers in all parts of this country: Their blood has watered Western plains and Northern winds of snow. Has walked Shriram's highest peaks, where piercing winds e'er blow; Has dyed deep red the Everglades, and deeper still, you know, The sacred Montenuzia shades and walls of Mexico. From Nevada's hoary ridges, from stormy coast of Mexico. From lava beds and Yellowstone—the story never waned. When duty called they went—their steps were never slow— With Alma Mater on their lips and "Benny Havens, Oh! It is the old, old story of West Point and they who know it well love best to tell it. It will never die; it is as firmly fixed in the highlands of the Hudson as the academy itself. BRIEF INFORMATION Tests of the air in crowded sleeping quarters on modern warships have shown it purer than the atmosphere of burracks or average residences on shore. Albinos cannot see well in the sunlight. It is only in semidarkness that they can discern objects clearly. Kerosene or other oil lamps should only be filled during the day. There may be a serious explosion if this is done near a light or fire. HOME TOWN HELPS Cards and Placards Have No Place in Streets of Any Well-Ordered Community. Political ambitions are becoming so much an obstacle to civic beauty that the esthetic souls of many communities have been on the verge of rebellion for some time past. When a man becomes obsessed with a desire to shine in public life he announces his matchless virtues by means of flaring cards and placards. These cards are placed at every point where the human vision might be expected to dwell. Does one pause to enjoy the grandeur of a rural scene, he is reminded from every tree and rock that "Smith is the people's choice for constable," or that "Jones stands for the square deal." The outrage is heightened by a series of homely visages showing the aspiring ones in various poses of vanity. Vandalism is a strong term, but is it too strong for such practices? The worst part is that it is perennial. The bountiful crop sown at election time is permitted to remain the year around. By the time the elements have succeeded in destroying one crop, another has put in appearance. Cards may be found in any grove—the cards of men who have been politically dead for years. It may have been proved at the polls that the erstwhile "people's choice" was not any one's choice; yet he must be regaled with the placards on every tree and eninence. Minneapolis, whose finer sensibilities have been aroused, will have no more of this. Hereafter, candidates will have to proclaim their virtues in some other manner. Defacement of scenery by homely visages and trite slogans will be inhibited by law. At an election now impending, most of the candidates have agreed to keep their placards out of public scenic places. Others are to be arrested. The example set by Minneapolis is a worthy one—Portland Oregonian. TROUBLES OF LARGE CITIES Land Ownership in Europe Carries Re sponsibilities That Are Unknown in This Country. In Europe extensive land ownership frequently involves municipalities in unprofitable disputes. A large town, owning a parcel of land in a nearby township proposes to build a hospital on it. The project is not pleasing to the township; its council prepares a building plan for the district, and runs a street through the proposed hospital site. Berlin itself was, only a few years ago, treated thus by a suburban neighbor. Electoral laws are severe; disenfranchisement is sweeping in effect. Under the "three class" method of apportioning the voting power, a taxpayer in the "first class" may have thirty times as much voting power as one in the second, and 400 times as much as their "third class" neighbor. Again, municipal governments are business agencies with most liberal charters. They build barracks—in the larger cities the average number of persons housed in one structure runs from Frankfort's 20 to Berlin's 77—and these structures are material of a purely speculative business which cannot be regarded as a healthful influence physically or politically in the city's life. These things and a hundred others of similar nature do not condemn German municipal government any more than the peculiar excellences of the system constitute a condemnation of the British system in which those particular excellences are lacking. But they do bring out the difficulties of government and emphasize the fruitfulness of comparison of systems.—Exchange. Window Seats Make for Comfort. One of the details of planning which should not be overlooked is the matter of window seats, of which there can hardly be too many in a home. In every bay window where possible a window seat should be constructed, and so constructed as to be useful as well as ornamental; that it have covers in the top, neatly hinged and so arranged that they may be easily opened to permit using the space under the seat for the storage of things which it is desired to have handy and for which there seems no other convenient place. Around the fireplace there is nothing more attractive and comfortable looking than a nice built-in seat, and cover, as the space beneath is very useful for storing the kindling wood and occasionally a few big sticks as well, when it is not convenient to use a wood box or basket beside the fireplace. Wide Streets in Uruguay Cities that are worrying over narrow streets and sidewalks may take a lesson from the recent action of Montevideo, capital of Uruguay, which has passed an ordinance requiring that all buildings be erected at least 32.8 feet from the boundary line, except in the business district, where 13.12 feet spare frontage must be allowed for walks and parking, and must be entirely free from steps, balustrades and ornaments.

As we visited the home of the Kansas City-Sun last week and saw the staff at work from the editor down, we were reminded that centuries ago such honorable workers were despised. It is said that Sir Walter Scott was obliged to conceal his business partnership in the publishing house of Constable Brothers in order to preserve his social standing. The whole of the past is one long, dark story of the despising of honorable workers and the exaltation of gilded idlers. What makes it worse is the undoubted fact that people really did not know better. Then the press, the noble ally giving itself without stint or apology to the people who were making a noble fight for sobriety, decency and morality, was unrecognized. But the clouds have vanished. Under the influence of Christian teaching we see nowadays the need of a worthy publication. It is quite impossible to understand our time, our institutions, our business enterprises, without reading a Negro newspaper. One reason why so many crude, ill-digested views are so widely accepted is found in the widespread ignorance of what is being accomplished by our energetic men and women. For instance, the state and national meetings held in Kansas City, Mo, during this month found a noble ally in the Sun. From day to day it held up to the public eye the personnel and proceedings of the daily sessions. Its news and editorial columns were constantly in service to bring to light the ways of those who promote and protect the fraternal, religious, business and professional side of our people. The Sun is among the foremost of our newspapers of the land, and it leads in the courageous and insistent advocacy of everything that contributes to advertising the worthy achievements of the Negro. Yea, The Sun is in the fight for a nobler race, and the individual, white or black, on the firing line of progress, has in The Sun a noble ally. "Then hail to the Press! chosen guardian of Freedom! Strong sword-arm of justice! bright sunbeam of truth; We pledge to her cause (and she has but to need them). The strength of our manhood, the fire of our youth." HOLDEN, MISSOURI Mrs. Tishie Clemons departed this life August 5, at the age of 46.
