Garnett, former president of Western College, Macon, Mo., a school conducted by the aptist denomination of this state has sent the trustee board in the Macon county courts for back pay at the rate of $100.00 per month. The board feels that they have met every obligation due Dr. Garnett, and that his suit is the result of "soreness" on being deposed as president, to which position Prof. Inman E. Page was elected. Dr. Garnett is one of the best known man in the state, and was for many years connected with Lincoln Institute. Western College has been having much trouble on account of its inability to occupy property recently purchased in Kansas City and this new trouble does not add anything to the pleasure of the board.

The Woman Who Has Spent Thirty Years in Uplighting Negro and Indian Children Would Have Mother Katherine, formerly Miss Kate Krexel of Philadelphia, who has given her life and 7 million dollars to the work of educating and uplifting negro and Indian children, stopped off in Kansas City today from 7 to 11 o'clock, to visit St. Monica Mission, Seventeenth street and Lydia avenue. The little negro mission was filled during th—ose hours by a stream of parishioners, principally women, who called to touch the fingers of the veiled figure and receive her blessing. For Mother Katherine really is the patron saint of St. Monica Mission. Part of the Drexel millians bought the ground on which the little mission stands, and her life has been the inspiring factor in St. Monica's church and school work. Wanted to Use Street Car. Modest, retiring, self-effacing, Mother Katherine murmured a protest when a huge green motor car met her at the Union Station. She preferred to ride on the street car, she said. But her protest was overruled and the motor car carried her direct to the mission door. She wore the simple black habit of Catholic sisterhood, with nothing to distinguish her as the head of the Order of the Blessed Sacrament, which she founded. Back of her assumed humanity, however, there was a forcefulness of purpose and action that might have been characteristic of the Drexels. Concealed beneath her black hood and starched collar was a spark of energy and initiative that bespoke the power and ability to organize. A Chain of Missions. A Chain of Missions. A chain of missions in Oklahoma, Western Kansas and New Mexico testify to Mother Katherine's earnest devotion to her work the last twenty years. Her vow provides that she spend her life uplifting the aborigines. Headquarters for the Order of the Blessed Sacrament is on the Drexel estate in Philadelphia. Mother Katherine came direct from there. She was on her way to Santa Fe, N. M. Mother Katherine was accompanied by one of the sisters of the order. She is 57 years old, and has devoted thirty years to church work. She comes of a family of devout church members. Hear Miss Sutler at Allen Chapel Sunday morning. She will make your heart rejoice.

Crews Stir Great Throng Gathered at Fair Grounds. Through the hard work of members of the committee and the liberal assistance of the press, the colored people of Terre Haute held the greatest celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation that has ever been witnessed in this vicinity. Opening with a parade six squares in length that was in every way credible and upon which much favorable comment was made, the exercises of the day were launched with a vigor that assured the success that followed. Attorney John E. Roundtree as master of ceremonies, delivered a brief but splendid address at the fair grounds in the afternoon. Miss Harriett Stuart, daughter of Prof. S. W. Stuart read the Proclamation. Speaker Stirs Crowd. Mr. Roundtree then introduced the speaker of the day, Nelson C. Crews, of Kansas City, Mo., who gave a masterly address, full of the fire and enthusiasm so characteristic of Mr. Crews and which brought forth loud applause at frequent intervals. At times Mr. Crews forced his audience, the largest colored audience that has assembled on an occasion of that kind, to tears while at other times he led them in singing some song of the olden times that brought the scenes of the slavery days vividly before the binds of the older persons present. Mr. Crews reviewed the experiences of the Negro from the time he was brought to this country through the trying days of slavery and to his emancipation. He then showed what he had accomplished since the time of his emancipation and gratefully remembered those who had had a part in assisting and helping the Negro to his present place in the world. His final plea was that the Negro be given the chance to be a man in this country and the privilege of enjoying the citizenship accorded him by the Cosstitution of the United States. The music by the Fraternity Band was the best that organization has furnished. The local committee is grateful to citizens who donated the use of their automobiles and to all who in any way assisted in making the day the great success that it was. Crowd at Night Meeting Addressing a cheering, applauding crowd of more than 2,000 people last night, Mr. Crews appealed to the colored voters of Vigo county to support Charles E. Hughes, Republican nominee for president with their ballots in the coming election. Not in years has there been such an assembly of voters at an open air night meeting, and never was enthusiasm more pronounced than was shown last night. The meeting was held in the grandstand at the fair grounds and was made of colored and white voters. In eloquent terms Mr. Crews showed the wide contrast between the administrations of Woodrow Wilson and Abraham Lincoln, depicting the noble work accomplished by the marryd President and the woeful lack of achievement, so far as it affected the Negro race, by the Wilson administration. Race discrimination has been most pronounced since the inauguration of President Wilson, Mr. Crews declared. The speaker was interrupted repeatedly by applause which many times lasted several minutes.-Terre Haute Star. The funeral of Brother J. H.

HISTORICAL PAGEANT. King Solomon and Queen of Sheba. A wonderful production of that historical pageant of King Solomon and Queen of Sheba was given Friday night, September 22, at Lyric Hall, under the auspices of Ezekiel Lodge No. 18, U. B. F., and Queen of Sheba Temple No. 284 S. M. T., assisted by the U. B. F. Drill team under the management of Col. Neal Range. It was a decided success from all angles. The king was represented by Brother J. W. McCuinn, of Ezekiel Lodge, and the Queen by Mrs. Irvin Harold, of Queen of Sheba Temple, each representing the character in such a pleasing manner as to win the applause of the large audience that was witnessing it. Very beautiful did the sisters and brothers as attendants look; sisters in their white dresses and purple sashes, and brothers in black suits and purple sashes marching behind the Queen and her drill team who bore Almug trees to present to the King. The Queen presented to the King "120 talents" of gold and the King presented her with a "royal bounty." A musical program was rendered to entertain the King and Queen. The Adams sisters sang a very beautiful duet. Much credit is due Mrs. Anna Roberts from whose brain this royal pageant was produced. Receipts were $66.95. LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL EXTENTION.

The people came from every direction seemingly, in the afternoon. The Church was filled to its utmost capacity, many were forced to leave because there were no more room. Bethel's choir was at its best, and sang to the satisfaction of all who were present. The ministers of the various Churches of the city were present with their congregations, and enjoyed a soul stiring sermon preached by Rev. M. I. Warfield, of Kansas City, Kas. At 8:00 P. M., Rev. W. T. Nickerson, the world wide evangelist, preached a most excellent sermon, which was the beginning of a two weeks' revival meeting, and has been in progress every since with splendid results. Sunday, October 1st, we will have a great Harvest Home service at 3 P. M. This promises to be one of the greatest services of its kind ever held in Bethel. The Harvest will be placed on the altar, and will remain throughout the day. Space will not allow us to give details—be present and witness for yourself. A GOOD SHOWING AT LINCOLN SCHOOL. In the shoe repairing shop at Lincoln School over one hundred and fifty pairs of shoes were repaired last year by the pupils, the material being furnished at wholesale cost. Last year the Board of Education added a fine sewing machine to the equipment and this week a skivers machine was installed. This machine saves both labor and material. A schedule of revised prices for the various kinds of material has been sent to each patron and the pupils, under direction of Mr. Harry L. Watkins, director, are taking even greater interest in the work. The Lincoln school cafeteria, the first of such ventures among the colored schools of the city, is also growing in popularity among the patrons. Penny lunches were sold so near cost last year that out of eleven hundred dollars gross receipts only about ten dollars remained as profit at the end of the year. The menu is changed daily and seldom consists of fewer than a dozen different articles none of which is sold for more than three to five cents. The editor received an invitation to attend the banquet tendered Grand Master W W. Fields, by Moslem Temple, St. Joseph, Mo., but on account of being on a speaking tour in Indiana was unable to be present. IDEALS OF THE SUCCESS OF THE PLAIN PEOPLE. "If I did not believe that the Republican party was the party of true progress, which was prepared under its leadership to take the country along the way of adaptation to new needs and exigencies of the future, I should have no pride in representing it. But the party of Lincoln is reunited today and we cossecrate it to the ideals of Lincoln, and those ideals are permanent. These are the ideals of the success of the plain people. They are the ideals of the achievements under free institutions, of success in all the activities of the cooperative energy of the plain people."—Charles E.

C.—The cabin which was Lincoln's first home, now standing on its original site near Hodgensville, Kq., became the other day the property of the Nation. A man who sees it, and later sees the completed great marble memorial to Lincoln on the bank of the Potomac at Washington, will have seen typical edifices of the most symbolic career yet known to the republic. The one is ten logs high on a side, is plastered with soil and has an outer chimney of logs, sticks and mud. The other is to cost millions, be made and adorned by artists of distinction, and become, next to Mt. Vernon, the home of Washington, the most frequented of all American civic temples. What enduring monuments these are, not only to Lincoln, but to the 10,000,000 Black men and women and children in America—it was because of the Emancipation Proclamation that Lincoln will longest be remembered.

A motion was then made to recommit the bill with instructions to include loyalty as essential to a claim. "This was carried by a vote of 183 to 170.

Musical Fete AT HIGH SCHOOL OCTOBER 2, 1916 and EDWARD MACKEY AND WONDERS All instruments are alike AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS When Booker Washington published his account of his own life 15 years ago, at the moment the National Negro Business league had just been launched, before the library at Tuskegee for which Carnegie partly paid had been built, and before the famous lunch with President Roosevelt, his educational work was in full tide. It is now possible to see his labors as a whole and in perspective, as well as to give him credit for many accomplishments that with natural modesty he himself attributed largely to circumstances or to others. The main facts in Booker Washington's career are well known: How he was born in a slave but in a remote part of western Virginia, a year or two before the Civil war broke out, how after the war his stepfather and mother (his father is unknown) removed to Malden, W. Vn., to work there in salt and coal mines; how, held back by his step-parent but encouraged by his mother, he learned to read and attended night school; how in 1872 he walked, begged, and worked his way to Hampton institute; and how after his graduation from Hampton, the path of opportunity opened before him when in 1881 he was appointed organizer and teacher of a new Negro normal school at Tuskegee. Many may not know that the most important day in his later career was that on which he delivered an address in 1885 at the Atlanta and Cotton States International expo­nation—one for which President Cleveland sent him a letter of thanks. A few doubtless know that the last ten years of his work were done with a body and nervous system worn out by incessant labor, so that repeatedly he was in a point of breaking down. This is told in a recent publication with all the detail which is possible in a volume of 300 pages, and in a manner not unskilled. The marshaling of facts is effective, though there is some repetition; and if the style is undistinguished and sometimes awkward, and the general paragraphs or chapters on "the times" of Washington vague and clumsily interpolated, the writer atonuses for this by the manifest enthusiasm he brings to his book. He feels, though he cannot fully express, the touch of the epic in this first great Negro leader's career. --- The steady advance of the American Negro is a conspicuous proof of the principle that progress can be had by peaceful methods. Year by year Tuskogee institute issues a "Negro Year Book" which is a sort of log of the forward movement of the race. The 1916 edition has just been issued. At the particular moment the matter is one of unusual national importance because of the new migration which is sending Negroes from the South to the northern and western states. The European war seems to be opening closed doors to the race. With the stoppage of immigration and the actual dearth of labor in some fields fresh opportunities have come to the farm workers of the South. Negroes are replacing allens from many nations. This industrial migration will doubtless have far-flung effects. If it advances sufficiently it may lessen the tension of the race problem in the South. At the same time the greater educative facilities of the North and West are likely to play a powerful part in making the southern Negro something different. Altogether the unconscious turn of More than 1,000 kinds of sausages are known in Germany. Kern county, Cal., contains 55,842 acres of proved oil lands. An enamel to glaze pottery without the use of heat is a German invention. The government of India has prohibited the importation of sulphur matches. The Russian government controls the prices charged for medical prescriptions. The Chilean government has appointed a commission to make a study of the water power available for hydroelectric development. A dredge built in Holland for the government of Uruguay crossed the Atlantic ocean under its own steam. A recently patented combined typewriter table and chair fold together to form a cover for a machine and to economize floor space. Of English invention is a new lubricant for cutting screw threads in aluminum more satisfactorily than heretofore possible. Several types of compressed air operated hoisting machines have been designed for use in places where the fire hazard is great. A machine has been perfected in Saxony that embroider designs upon three dozen pairs of stockings at once, a battery of needles making 288 stitches simultaneously. "The Telephone Rang." "And the telephone rang!" is the burden of some verses read lately, describing all the things that happened and didn't happen in consequence. The way one woman escaped wearisome trips up and downstairs in response to 'phone calls was by using a desk telephone with a very long cord. Then she took the telephone upstairs, downstairs, or on the gallery, wherever she happened to be. When the bell rang the interruption was at least close at hand. events has opened a new chapter in the history of the American Negro, a chapter more fateful than any written since the great reaction of apathy settled upon the nation after reconstruction days. Once more the Negro is becoming a vital problem. The most impressive development of the last few days so far as the Negro is concerned is the moral fatigue with which white people have viewed him. For a long time the country traveled on the moral momentum generated by the abolitionists and by the political results of the Civil war. That no longer exists. Outside of a small group of relatively dumb reformers, nobody cures seriously. Disfranchisement is an accepted principle in the South. "Jim Crow" laws no longer arouse comment. Segregation is growing. South, West and North. The most frequent feeling on the part of whites is one of helpless, hopeless acquiescence in forces which they feel unable to challenge. The old belief in equality is dormant. Orators will not admit it, no one whose political faith must be on parade can afford to admit it, but the truth is that race prejudice was never stronger. Not even the Christian brotherhood of man is a powerful enough motive to weld together different races belonging to the same religious denomination. Until the European war shut off immigration and forced American industry to summon the workers of the South segregation of all kinds appeared destined to grow greatly. The movement was from below. Largely it lacked leaders. But it swept on. The same ruthless instincts and the same moral fatigue exist today. Yet industrial necessity has brought forward new factors. In the factory, shop and construction camp another future is opening—John Vance Cheney, in the Chicago Herald. --- With commemorative exercises of dignity and eloquence the little log cabin that was Lincoln's birthplace has been set apart as a shrine. One lesson of the great life of the enamicipator, a lesson for two races and for all mankind, has been that the humblest origin need not prove a mortmain to check the will to rise. The Southern Workman tells the story of one who came "up from slavery" in an Alabama town. The father of John Guss Frazer was a freedman. The son went from the farm to town and entered the service of a tailoring establishment. He was paid 30 cents a day for errands and odd Jobs. He watched the others press clothes, and soon he had an iron in his hand and was earning a dollar. Finally he bought the business. Then, with one chair, he started a barber shop. He bought and sold cattle. He purchased a cement-block machine, made his own blocks and built a three-story building to hold the barber shop, a store, a lodge room for rental and an undertaking establishment. He built a house for himself and beside it a cottage hotel. The buildings are all of them erected on the very ground where his father once worked as a slave. Yet there are cynies who hold that a man who is born to a lowly lot in life must hold his hands in the tacit acceptance of a providential dispensation, and deny to the world the inspiring pattern of "toll unsevere from tranquility." As a mineral producer Alabama ranks first among the southern states. More than 27,000 tons of honey are produced annually by the American bee. Lightning is more frequent in Illinois and Florida than in any other states. A sanitary guard has been invented to prevent persons handling spigot outlets. Skins of the damson plums are being utilized in England to produce a blue dye. In times of peace London contains 16 embassies and legations representative of foreign countries. Pilers have been patented by an Illinois inventor to split insulation and remove it from wires neatly. As a race, the tallest people in the world are the Bororos, of the southwest of Brazil. They average six feet four inches in height. Several French lighthouses have been equipped with lenses that enable their lights to be seen from fifty to sixty miles at sea. Numerous economies are claimed for a new automobile that can be run by gasoline or electricity or a combination of the two. British aviators have found that horsehair cushions provide enough elasticity to counteract the vibration of aeroplanes and make the use of magnetic compasses possible. Value of Learning. Learning. if rightly applied, makes a young man thinking, attentive, industrious, confident, and wary; and an old man cheerful and useful. It is an ornament in prosperity, a refuge in adversity, an entertainment at all times; it cheers in solitude, and gives moderation and wisdom in all circumstances.—Palmer. Paper Umbrella. A patent for a paper umbrella has been granted to its New York inventor. THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1916 In Woman's Realm Separate Skirts, in Amost Any Number of Models, Are a Feature of the Season, as Their Popularity Never Seems to Wane Two Millinery Models That Are Somewhat Different From the Ordinary. The separate skirt, like the shirt-waist, seems to return every season. Like perennial flowers, it is sure of a welcome. Among the new models for fall and winter there are many made of plaid and barred woolens, a good number in plain fabrics, and few stripes. This is simply a reaction from the all-prevailing stripes of midsum- EXCELLENT DESIGN FOR THE WORLD'S FINEST WOOL SKIRT mer. As a rule colors are subdued, by comparison with the bright and often violent color-contrasts in summer skirts. But this does not signify that they are dull. The introduction of cross bars of white or black on fabrics that show color contrasts in plaids or checks gives them life and sparkle. Pipings of a plain color, matching the cross bar, add a happy touch in the finish of their skirts. This is apparent in the skirt pictured. This model is made with the front cut on the straight of the goods and the back on the bias. Both pieces are attached to a fitted yoke cut on the straight and piped with plain white to match the cross bar.

It detracts from the skirt both in comfort and smartness. The chances are that skirts will make some concession to the new mode as to length, but good sense will not extend them below the ankles.

But all the feathers that grow apparently are used for the small, exquisitely made trimming that milliners are applying to hats of velvet or felt or velours.

The edgings, insertions, and medallions are used alone or with hand embroidery, the latter, of course, adding incalculably to the loveliness and value of the underwear. In evening underwear ribbons, buds, chiffon flowers and are too brilliant to be lost sight of. The hilt at the left of the picture has a crown of velvet and a brim of felt. It is one of many two-color shapes. There are various color combinations, and occasionally a light and a dark shade of one color are combined in this way. On almost any of them a spray of fancy ostrich, like that in the pic OR SEPARATE SKIRT. ture, would look well. It resembles a branch of fine twigs with snow clinging to them, or the frost on a window pane. An all-velvet hat at the right has a brim of medium width and a soft crown. Everyone is familiar with ostrich wreaths. The fuses of the feathers used in this one are long and slightly curled. Their scanty arrangement gives the wreath a flowerlike appearance. It looks much like the beautiful ragged chrysanthemums which appear along with it in the fall. It terminates in two standing half plumes at the left, back of the shape. These are placed back to back as if to brace one another up while they still maintain that ostrich plumes are the best of 1 trimmings for velvet hats. Even so they are rare enough this season to be almost unusual Julia Bottomly Use an Empty Drawer. For the woman who must press an occasional waist, an empty drawer, inverted, is a capital ironing board. The wood at the bottom of the drawer, being unvarnished, tells no tales of the use to which it has been put. Where a writing desk is lacking, an empty drawer, inverted and then partly replaced, furnishes a roomy flat space for writing materials. The second drawer of the average bureau is about the right height for this purpose. Girdles of Silk Brocaded silk for girdles and other trimming is in demand. It gives the same sort of touch of color that embroidery does, if skillfully used, and, of course, it is far less work to tuck in a bit of brocade than it is to embroider even a simple pattern by hand. pale colored satin ribbons make the lingerie so fascinating that it seems a crime to cover it with a dress. Sailor Bands Match Dress The mannish sailor is observed in many instances and varieties, although the canotier shape, with a slightly drooping, wide brim, was seen in larger numbers. The most interesting note about the sailors is the band, wide or narrow, according to the fancy of the owner, but made of the same material as the dress. PITTSBURGH ON EDGE OF ASIA In Baku Persian and Tartar Millionaires Ride in Jeweled Cars. I'm afraid that I shall have to tell my great-grandchildren that the Caspian is very little to look at, at least from Baku, writes H. G. Dwight in the Century. It has no color and it smells outrageously of kerosene. Baku, however, is something to look at. (Baku is the Russian trans-Caucasian seaport on the Caspian sea.) It is a kind of Pittsburgh dipped in Asia, and it tickled me beyond measure. Not so long ago it was a wretched fishing village inhabited chiefly by Persians and Tartars, who were too stupid to sell their land to prowling oil prospectors. So those same Persians and Tartars now roll in gold. And they don't know what on earth to do with it. The consequence is that nobody but a millionaire can afford to live in Baku. But what a fantastic hedgepodge of civilization and barbarism! What types! What costumes! What morals! Above all, what motor cars—satin lined, emblazoned, gilded, jeweled, skithering there on the edge of Asia. It's too good to be true, but I shan't tell you about it. What I want to tell you about is a park the Russians have made there on the shore of their Caspian. They always do those things well, you know. No green thing will grow for miles around Baku, but those Russians have coaxed a few trees to sprout in tubs in that tidy little park, and bands far better than I ever heard in Central park play you Tschankowsky and Rimsky-Korsakof, not to say Wagner and Verdi and Bizet. And you should see the extraordinary crowds that listen—the Russians, the Persians, the Armenians, the Georgians, the Lesghians, the Tartars, the wild, the swarthy, the fiery, the rainbow colored! My son, when in doubt, go to Baku. I sat there in the park one afternoon, sniffing their Caspian, tapping my foot in time to their "Glinka," when I suddenly made a discovery: That coon song we used to sing when we were young, "Lou, Lou, I Love You," came out of "Life for the Czar." War Prices in Paris One hears a great deal about the rising cost of living in Germany, resulting from the British blockade, but comparatively little about the privations of the allies. The following letter from an American engineer in Paris tells something of the hardships of the City of Light: "Cold boiled ham costs ninety-five cents a pound and each thin slice comes to ten cents. Butter is unreatable at less than sixty-four cents a pound, and everything is in proportion. Gasoline is twenty cents a quart. Alcohol is out of the question, as it is now forty-eight cents a quart as compared to fourteen before the war. Sugar is fourteen cents a pound. "I believe the war won't be over before next year, so we settle down to it as a fact to be borne. It hits everyone except a few. I am comfortable, have enough to eat and a good bed, but living in 'juste' (narrow); I just about come out even."—Wall Street Journal. Caressed the Wrong Hand The Broad Ripple car was crowded and she and her young man were standing just inside the rear door. She leaned against the young man and he held to the door which served as a support for the conductor also. She reached over and patted a hand—the conductor's hand. Passengers on the rear platform smiled. The conductor winked and squeezed her hand. Block after block the caresses continued. She looked contentedly up at her young man—and he didn't know what he was missing nor what the rear platform passengers were laughing about. Neither did she.—Indianapolis News. Pink for a Baby Girl Why pink for a baby girl and blue for the boy? The reason for the distinction is not very clear. We are told that in Russia and in America blue is used in the preparation of the outfit for a baby if the parents desire a boy and pink if the preference is for a girl, and then the old stork brings just whichever one he pleases regardless of the color scheme; so the wise mother uses both pink and blue in her layette. A Russian maiden not only wears pink in her girlhood, but adorns her wedding trousseau plentifully with this hue. Blunt Insinuation: A fashionable painter, noted for his proscale output, was discussing at a studio tea in New York a recent scandal in the picture trade. "Look here, old man," said a noted etcher, "do you paint all your own pictures?" "I do," the other answered hotly, "and with my own hands, too." "And what do you pay your hands?" the etcher inquired. "I'm thinking of starting an art factory myself." New Discovery. Margaret, aged eleven, had just returned from her first visit to the zoo. "Well," said her mother, smiling, "did you see the elephants and the giraffe and the kangaroo?" Margaret looked thoughtful. "We saw the elephant and the giraffe and the dang-ger-roos." "What?" said Mrs. Blank. "The dang-ger-roos. It said 'these animals are D-a-u-g-e-r-o-u-s.'" Nothing Doing. Anxious Mother—Your lips are awfully red, my dear. I hope that young man who just left didn't— Pretty Daughter (interrupting)—No, of course he didn't. If my lips are red it because he made me so angry I bit them. Anxious Mother—Did you get angry because he tried to kiss you? Pretty Daughter—No; because he didn't. Different System. "My wife constantly pesters me for money. Does yours?"

NEWS and GOSSIP OF WASHINGTON How Washington's "Morse Elm" Received Its Name WASHINGTON.—The most interesting of all the old trees in the capital is the huge old elm which stands at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Fourteenth street in front of what used to be the old Willard hotel. Many years ago, this tree the popul years ago this was the popular resort of the nation's statesmen, who were wont to assemble beneath its shade, tilt their chairs against its trunk and spin many historic yarns, punctuated by well-aimed salvos of tobacco juice. Here, also, came the newspaper correspondents from newspaper row, just above the hotel on Fourteenth street, and heard the latest political achievements discussed with careless informality.

Golf Helps President Wilson to Solve Problems GOLF is credited by President Wilson with making possible the solving of knotty international problems, handling of Mexican affairs and all the thousand and one things a busy president must do. By golf he rests his mind so thoroughly he can think clearly and act intelligently during working hours. R President Wilson has one of the finest sets of golf sticks in the country. They were made for him in England by a professional and given to him by his brother, John A.

Rookies Must Be Taught to Deliver Messages THE training of raw recruits is a perpetual circus. Col. G. B. Young of the Third infantry went from Washington over to the Radio camp, where the National Guardsmen and new recruits are in camp. His automobile got stuck in the machine and the infantry stuck in the mud, and a passing rookie, who looked like a soldier, was hailed by the colonel, and told to send some men down to help get his machine out of the mud, and this is the way Colonel Young told him to deliver the message: "The colonel of the regiment presents his compliments to the officer of the guard and requests that a detail of the guard be sent to help an automobile out of the mud." The rookie, of course, hastened to the guard tent, saluted slouchily, and this is a message: "A man up there wants a bunch of you men mud." Lieut. Col. Anton Stephan, who heard both devised a scheme for training the men in the time during the night different men on guard guards repeat it to the corporal of the guard; the and the sergeant carries the news to the lieuten received and as sent is compared.

Congress May Really Curtail "Leave to Print" SOMETIME, perhaps during the next session of congress, that dearly beloved institution, "the leave to print," under which congressmen annually send, postage free, to their constituents tons of imaginary speeches they never made—liberally sprinkled with mythical "laughter" and psychological "applause"—may be curtailed.

THERE'S A GUY WANTS YUM TO— IN THE CITIES Cranks and "Bugs" Infest Gotham's City Hall NEW YORK—As the flame attracts the moth, so does city hall attract cranks and "bugs" and "nuts"—more than any other spot on earth. But none of them can get by Lieut. "Bill" Kennel, the big cop who guards that sanctum sanctorum, the mayor's office. "A soft answer turneth away wrath," quotes "Bill," meaning thereby with that with the average crank, man or woman, who comes to see the mayor about renting city hall or selling him a charm for several millions whereby his mayoralty chair is insured to him forever—some of the actual things that have happened in the past—the best way to handle them is the easiest way.

Memphis Preparing to Dedicate Immense Bridge Memphis Preparing to Dedicate Immense Bridge MEMPHIS, TENN.—Almost on the spot where De Soto stood when he first gazed upon the Father of Waters rests the eastern pier of the great Harahan bridge that spans the Mississippi river, connecting Tennessee and Arkansas. The bridge, with its approaches, is three miles long, has cost $8,000,000 and will be fully completed this winter and formally dedicated next April. It will have required three years and a half to build. In its construction 23,000 tons of steel are used. The spans over the channel of the river total one mile, while on the Arkansas side there are two miles of steel and stone construction over the low river bank district. The bridge is 55 feet above the highest water ever known. This will permit steamboats to pass under it at high water without passing through a draw. When the river is at extremely low stage the upper works of the bridge tower almost 150 feet above the surface of the river. is 55 feet above the highest water ever to pass under it at high water without river is at extremely low stage the up 150 feet above the surface of the river.

Old Men's Workshop Is Unique New York Charity NEW YORK—The Old Man's workshop, conducted by the New York association for improving the condition of the poor, is giving respectable, elderly men a chance to remain self-supporting and an opportunity to pass the evenings of their lives in something else beside idle and eventless days. Another purpose of the workshop is to provide light work for men temporarily handicapped by sickness until they can go back to a man's full-fledged job. The working capacity of none of these men is great and their tasks must be comparatively easy. As a result, the workshop schedule calls for six hours a day and the minimum wage paid is about 60 cents shop during the year is about 70, run dropping to 40 in the summer, as man kind of light out-of-door work during makes an effort to get them such, usin nothing else can be found for them.

CASH AND SILVER BULLION Other Wrecks Are Found by Treasure-Hunting Crew, One of Them Apparently Being That of a Steamer. Norfolk, Va.—Searching for a sunken ship on which there is over $1,000,000 in money and silver bullion, the treasure-hunting crew of 34 men under the command of Capt. George Stillson, a master diver, inventor and expert in submarine engineering, is not proving an easy task, Stillson says. The treasure-laden ship is, or was, the Ward line steamer Merida. She was sunk in the summer of 1911 about fifty-five miles off Cape Charles Lightship when she was rammed by the freight steamer Admiral Farragut. The Merida carried over 300 passengers, all of whom were taken off by the Farragut and transferred to the Old Dominion steamer Hamilton, which landed them in Norfolk. Among the passengers were a number of Americans feeling from Mexico. They had with them the savings of their lifetimes and these savings they say, were locked in the safe in the office of the purser of the Merida. When the steamer was struck the water poured through the hole in her starboard side so fast that they did not have time to save any of their valuables. The Merida also carried silver bullion said to have been worth over $000, 000. The purser's safe is filled with money and jewelry. The vessel's cargo was fruit. Treasure-Hunting Fleet. The treasure-hunting fleet is composed of the yacht J. H. Beckwith, the trawler Fearless and a barge used by divers. There are about a dozen divers in the outfit, including F. Nilson, who is said to have been the first to explore the bottom of the Atlantic near where the Merida went down. Capt. C. Hermanson, who is in command of the flagship of the fleet, is of the opinion that if the Merida is found she will be some miles away from the spot where she went down. Divers have explored two miles of the Atlantic ocean, it is stated, and have found several wrecks, one of them apparently a steamer, but it was not the one they sought. Divers sent up portions of a deckhouse of the steamer. There was nothing of value in the wreck. Captain Stillson says he has not given up hope of finding the Merida and is not disappointed at not finding the vessel at the point where she went down. "A vessel seldom goes right straight to the bottom when she sinks," he says, "especially where the water is deep and the currents strong." It is possible that the Merida is ten miles away from the spot where she went down. Under currents sometimes carry a vessel miles away before she settles on the bottom. And after she strikes the bottom, shifting sands sometimes carry a vessel several miles. Captain Hermanson also is of the opinion that the Merida will be found, and the divers, too, are confident. The men tell of encountering strange-looking objects under water, of stumbling against a sunken vessel, or meeting a shark face to face. Search Is Thorough. After searching five miles in one direction, the treasure hunters will return to the spot where the Merida went down and search five miles in another direction. After they have gone north, south, each and west for LEADER OF INDIAN TROOPS 9 Sir Pertab Singh is one of Britain's most loyal colonial sons.

Alameda, Cal.-When anything is needed in the furniture line in the von Manderscheld home in Alameda, they call in Florita and say: "Father needs a shaving cabinet," or "Mother needs a mahogany bedroom set," or "Little sister needs a high chair." five miles, they will continue the search for five miles further in the same directions. If she is not found before winter comes on it is probable that the search will be abandoned until next spring. The expedition is a costly one. The divers are paid as high as $10 a day. It is said that Captain Stilson will receive a big bonus if the expedition is a success, and "fair" compensation if it fails. In marine circles it is believed that the Merida will not be found. It is figured that in the five years since she went down she is probably completely covered by sands, and divers might walk over the spot where she lies without knowing it. The treasure hunters come to Norfolk and Newport News about every two weeks to take on fuel and supplies. $20 REWARD FOR $400 RING Honest Waitress Found It and Returned Jewel to Mrs. Whitworth. Colorado Springs, Colo.—Luck was with Mrs. Rose Whitworth, wife of a Tulsa (Okla.) business man, when she dropped a diamond setting from her rings in the McRae cafe. The gem weighs two karats and is valued at $400. It slipped from the owner's hand while she was at lunch. Three hours later she returned, having missed the Jewel, and Billy Jones, manager, was able to return her diamond by reason of the honesty of the waitress, who found it on the floor. The waitress is richer by $20 and Mrs. Whitworth is happy, the diamond having been a prenuptial gift from her husband. GOLD IN CHICKENS' CROPS Auburn, Cal.-Thomas Gamlin of the Mount Vernon district has some very valuable chickens. Recently he killed two and found gold nuggets in their craws valued at about one dollar. As the chickens were penned in a small space on the hillside Gamlin immediately began investigations and soon unearthed a quartz ledge which he will further prospect. CABLE IN USE HALF CENTURY Cyrus W. Field's Faith in Ocean Telegraphs Was Justified in 1866. EARLY PROJECTS FAILURES Since July 27, 1866, New World Has Been in Continuous Communication With Old by Submarine Cable. New York.—It is a little more than a half century since the completion of the first permanent Atlantic telegraph, observes the New York Evening World. Since July 27, 1866, the new world has been in continuous and uninterrupted communication with the old world by means of the submarine cable. The final success was achieved only after several disheartening failures. As early as 1843 Prof. Samuel F. B. Morse suggested the possibility of an Atlantic telegraph line. Just a decade later Cyrus W. Field, a wealthy merchant, became interested in a plan for laying an underground cable across Newfoundland and in the following year, 1851, he secured the cooperation of Peter Cooper, Moses Taylor and others in a scheme for a trans-Atlantic cable. The manufacture of 2,500 miles of wire was completed in 1857 and the task of laying it was commenced at Valentin, Ireland, in August of that year, two American and two British vessels being engaged. After a few miles had been laid the cable snapped. This was repaired, but after 300 miles of wire had been put down it snapped again and the vessels returned to Plymouth. Success Short Lived. A storm caused the failure of a second attempt, but the third voyage, in 1858, was successful, and the junction between the two continents was effected by 2,059 miles of wire stretching from the Irish coast to Newfoundland. Messages were exchanged between Queen Victoria and President Buchanan and there was great rejoicing on both sides of the ocean. The jubilation proved premature, however, for in a short time the cable ceased to work and was branded a failure. The faith of Field did not waver, and, although the Civil war prevented an early revival of the project, in 1885 a new company began the laying of another cable. The famous vessel, the Great Eastern, was dispatched to Ireland with the wire, but again the project ended in failure. Mr. Field then launched the Anglo-American Telegraph company, and in July, 1886, the Great Eastern steamed Florita goos out to her workshop and with hammer, saw and chisel the need is supplied and the family hasn't paid out a cent except for the lumber. Miss Florita von Mandescheld is an expert carpenter and joiner. She takes to tools as the ordinary girl takes to curling irons.

Fort Wayne, Ind.—Surgeons successfully operated the other day on Pete Annastrophe, an Assyrian, to remove a bullet that had lodged between vertebrae in his neck when he was shot in the mouth at Van Wert, O. some weeks ago, and Annastrophe will recover, the surgeons said, after having been constantly in danger throughout the five weeks. The position of the bullet was such, it was said, that had Annastrophe moved his head violently he would have died. The bullet was touching the spinal cord and the operation was regarded as extremely serious. away from Valentia laying another cable. July 27 the cable was completely inald at Heart's Content, Newfoundland, and the queen and the president again exchanged greetings. Soon after this happy event the lost cable of 1855 was recovered and placed in service. In addition to the cables between Valentia and Heart's Content, Newfoundland, there are now cable lines between Waterville, Ireland, and Canso, N. S., New York and Rockport, Mass.; Benzance, England, and Bay Roberts, N. F.; Canso, N. S., and New York; Bullinskellig's Bay, Ireland, and Halifax N. S., and Rye Beach, N. H., and Brest, France, and Cod Cad, Mass. STORM HALTS THE FUNERAL Heavy Rain Kept Persons in a Chapel All Night in Texas Cemetery. Hillsboro, Tex.-Sixty-three persons who gathered in the chapel at the Brandon cemetery to attend the funeral of Mrs. Knuckles, were forced to spend the night there, being marooned by the heavy rainstorm which necessitated postponing the interment until the next morning. During the funeral service the rain started and fell in such torrents that it formed little ditches which ran into the grave and completely filled it with mud and water. The grave was cleared in the morning and the interment held. It was too late to return home when the rain stopped, so those gathered for the funeral sent out and got some coffee and sat up all night so as to attend the burial the next morning. GIRLS CLIMB HIGH CHIMNEY Colorado Young Ladies Do the Fly Act on Dare From Male Companies. Eaton, Colo.—Climbing hand over hand to the top of the smokestack on the sugar factory top, five young women of Eaton did the human-fly act on a dare by their male companions, who promised them a box of candy each if they accomplished the feat. The smokestack is 251 feet high and is built of cement. The women not only climbed to the top but returned to the ground in order without assistance from any of the men, some of whom had attempted the feat and failed. The young women who got to the top of the stack were Misses Martin White, Irene Pixler, Lettie White and Mesdames L. M. Steneking and Anna Bickle. STORM LEFT MANY SNAKES Six Are Killed on One Lawn in Texas. After the Hurricane Passes. San Antonio, Tex.—They're swatting snakes at Rockport now. Col. Frank Holland killed six on the lawn on the lot on which his cottage stands near Rockport after Friday's hurricane, according to a report. "Some of the snakes were rattlesnakes and were at least four feet long," it was said. "Colonel Holland and a neighbor were preparing to go fishing when the storm broke." Drinks Act Like Magic. St. Louis, Mo.—"Where am I?" asked Harry McStravick, thirty-one years old, when he came to at the city dispensary after Sergeant Peters found him in a stupor in front of 1512 North Lefflingwalt avenue. "St. Louis!" he exclaimed, when his query was answered. "Td like to know how I got here. The last I remember I was leaving home in New Orleans and starting for a show." McStravick said he had taken one or two drinks in New Orleans. High school threw out the one he already had and bought Florita's. Florita has made, among other articles, two large mhogany library tables, a walnut china closet, a shaving cabinet, equipped with a bevel mirror; a gun rack which looks like a china closet, plano bench, tabouret, cozy-corner seat and a doll's chair. She is her own designer. Electric burglar alarms surround the treasury at Washington and are tested every fifteen minutes, day and night. PRAYER FLAGS OF TIBETANS When They Flutter Pleas of The Devout Ascend to the Omnipotent. Encircling the buildings of Lhasa, Tibet, is the Sacred road, merely to walk along which absolves the mortal from all earthly sins, and many pilgrims prostrate themselves for its entire length, thus securing everlasting happiness in their future life. John Claude White writes in the National Geographic Magazine. The most interesting portion of the Sacred road is where it runs through some sharp limestone rocks, carved deeply with figures of Buddha painted in many colors. From the rocks prayer flags are suspended on lines running to an island in the river. These prayer flags are universal in Tibet, and so long as they are moving they are recording prayers for the benefit of those who put them up. All devotees, men and women, walk, always turning a small hand prayer wheel, filled with minute prayers, printed on thin paper; and large prayer wheels, filled in some cases with tons of paper prayers, are set revolving by water power. Smaller ones are turned by the hot air rising from butter lamps. Single prayers, printed on thin cloth, are strung vertically on poles or stretched across open spaces to flutter in the wind and thus send millions of prayers vibrating toward the Omnipotent for the benefit of someone's soul. They are most picturesque. An old lama I once questioned on the subject told me "that if the person turning the wheel truly believed that by doing so he was accumulating merit, it would certainly count as a meritorious action." Characters of Birds. The federal government is investigating birds with a view to discovering whether they are harmful or helpful to mankind. Of forty or fifty species, exclusive of hawks and owls, thus far put through this scientific third degree, only one has been found harmful—the English sparrow. This quarrelsome little creature is an unqualified nuisance. All other birds of the group mentioned are either innocuous or helpful, and many of them are worth well-nigh their weight in gold to the farmer and fruit raiser. Of hawks and owls there are 75 species found in this country, only six of which are injurious. The rest either do no harm at all, or more than make up for occasional depredations by their services in keeping down vermin. The moral seems to be that when in doubt about the character of a bird, give it the benefit of that doubt. The chances are about fourteen to one that even the suspected hawk or owl is a friend in disguise, and other feathered creatures, with the single exception of the sparrow, are just and righteous altogether. Zanzibar's Exile. The dethroned sultan of Zanzibar, Aliben-Hamoud, who now lives in Paris, is a pensioner of the French government. He claims to be a descendant of Mahomet, but he has, it is feared, in his new environment, ceased to be a truly good Mohammedan. He is called by his intimates Raschid, which is intended to hint that like Haroun-al-Raschid, of the "Arabian Nights," he is not averse to nocturnal adventures among the infidels of Paris, that is, to what is known in plainer English as "slumming." In order to gratify his personal taste while in some sort paying homage to the tenets of the prophet, it is said that when he seats himself at table, he is careful to place the koran beside his plate and with eyes turned skyward he murmurs in Arabic: "O holy prophet, may thy koran protect me!" after which he indulges to his heart's content in wine and pork chops. Looking Within. Carlyle said: "Religion is a reawakening of thine own self within." How many refuse to look at it that way and keep snatching at exterior things to make their lives better. None ever succeed, and yet nearly all our great institutions of learning, religion, civic and social progress are built upon the idea that life is merely an accretion—the sway of outside things. These are necessary. A spirit cannot be unfolded without them. The inherent force is the main thing. Life is a failure without it. And what is this divine energy that originates all good? Its existence can be proved only by its fruits, which are kindness, gentleness, courtesy, helpfulness, love, peace, long suffering, joy—these are the fruits of the spirit and are so inseparable from it that they may be regarded as the spirit itself. These make the spirit visible. Original Home of Welshmen Jutland was probably the original home of our Kynric ancestors as well as (at a later period) of some so-called Saxon invaders. It was people in classical times by the Climblr, identified by ethnologists with the Cymr, or modern Welshmen. The Germans magnanimously declined to annex Jutland with Schleswig-Holstein. It was then considered a worthless waste of moors, sand dunes and marshes. But the industrious Dunes have transformed what one English traveler styled "a Godforsaken wilderness" into the most prosperous pastoral country of western Europe.—Westminster Gazette. German Women Workers. Women workers in Germany are proving a success as substitutes for men at the front. It is believed that the training now being obtained by a large body of women in work ordinarily done by men in factories, offices, banks, etc., will be valuable when peace is restored in bridging over the effects of the war on various German industries, enabling them to reach normal conditions more rapidly. Counsel Disdained. "You shouldn't allow the little things of life to disturb you." "I don't know about that. A germ is about the littlest thing I know of." INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) (Copyright, 1916, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR OCTOBER 1 PLOT THAT FAILED. LESSON TEXT-Acts 23. GOLDEN TEXT-They shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith Jehovah, to deliver thee.-Jer. 1:19. The stirring events of this lesson occurred in the Castle Antonia and the Sanhedrin hall, near the temple court of Jerusalem; also in Caesarea, the Roman capital of Judea, on the Mediterranean coast, in the year A. D. 57, just at the close of Paul's third missionary journey. The lesson pictures two successive days of strange adventures in which Paul was concerned, a narrow escape and the unexpected providences used in his deliverance. The day was inaugurated by Paul's magic words "I am a Roman citizen," which caused the commander, Lylas, to release him from the threatened scourging, and made him more than ordinarily careful in his treatment of Paul. 1. Before the Elders (vv. 1-12). By referring back to chapter 21, v. 13, we find the charge which really underlay all of Paul's trouble, his preaching in the name of the Lord Jesus. Paul's defense is interesting. He gives us a rehearsal of his Christian life, laying emphasis upon its blamelessness and the fact that he is not an apostate Jew. The high priest speaks to silence him, but not gently. Although Paul for a moment seems to give way to his justifiable indignation, he quickly reveals his reverence for the rulers of the people. He then divides the sanhedrin. Read carefully chapter 22:6-7, and compare with verses 17 and 18. The sanhedrin could not explain this testimony of Paul, and were seeking to put aside the whole question. An interesting discussion would be to consider the insult to Paul. Was his indignation right and rightly expressed? Another question, the matter of Paul's apology. Just for what did he apologize? Is it ever wrong to speak evil of rulers? These were indeed days of stress and storm. Was Paul justified in dividing the sanhedrin in order to conquer their opposition to him? Again, how God used these incidents in the furtherance of the gosped s a suggestive lesson for us all. It has been hinted that Ananias was not in his priestly garments, and therefore perhaps not readily recognized by Paul. May never have seen him, as he was elected high priest after Paul had left the council. It is interesting to note that it is not said that anyone struck Paul or that Paul did not apologize for his words or deny them to be true, but only for their being spoken to the high priest. Read in this connection what Christ said to the Pharisees (Matt. 23:27). Paul apologized because he had broken the law found in Exodus 22:28. In the trial of Christ one of the officers struck Jesus with the palm of his hand whereupon Jesus answered him, saying: "If I have spoken evil, bear wits of the evil, but if well, why smits est thou me?" On the other hand when Jesus was ill-treated by the common soldirees, he opened not his mouth. Was Paul one "who was angry and sinned not?" (See Eph. 4:26). Our danger is not so much in the possession of a temper, but in our lack of controlling it. II. The Plot and Deliverance (vv. 12-35). Paul's prospect was not a pleasant one. In his darkness God appeared to his faithful servant to cheer him (v. 11). Perhaps Paul was tempted to think he had made a mistake in coming to Jerusalem over the protests of his friends, but evidently the Lord heartly approved of his testimony there. A dangerous conspiracy was forming against him, but God was, as he always is, beforehand with his comfort and preparation for the crisis. We have often speculated as to what became of the forty men who entered into it (see v. 12)—whether they actually lived up to their oath. If they did, they must have died of starvation. They were determined men, willing to go any length, and fancied they were doing the will of God. There is no more dangerous man than he who fancies that he must be the judge as to who are God's friends and who are his foes, and that he is the appointed executioner of God's judgment. The plot was well laid, and seemed certain of success, but it failed miserably (See Psalm 2:14; 6:41-10; Isaiah 41:10). The wicked, who leave God out of their plans, no matter how cunningly they plot, are doomed to failure (Rom. 8:31). These plotters co-operated with the priest. Ecclesiastics have often descended to the lowest villain. Men are not murdered today, though their reputations are often blasted by unprincipled and hellishly impelled professed followers of the lowly Nazarene. Paul had friends in this city, his nephew's discovery and revelation, and the Gentile soldier, a colonel, offered his deliverance. In the boy's heart there must have been great admiration for the uncle. It would be well for teachers of boys to have them repeat in their own language this boy's story. Paul was not safe in Jerusalem. The Roman governor recognized the nature of the conspiracy, and the desperate character of the Jewish fanatics, and therefore sent him under a strong guard to Caesarea, which was reached after a journe on horseback, lasting through the night and the following day. The twenty-third Psalm is a personal possession for every Christian. Again and again it has been pointed out that if the first verse began, "The Lord is a shepherd," it is not likely that men and women and children for 3,000 years would have counted it one of their priceless possessions. But the phrase is "The Lord is my shepherd." All communications should be addressed to The Kansas City Sun, 1803 East 18th Street. Bell Phone East 999.

It would bring millions to the state. --- The Sun has no reason to retract the statement made some months ago that Judge Ralph S. Latshaw is the ablest and fairest man who has ever sat upon the criminal bench in this county and we believe that fact will be attested by a tremendous majority November 7. The marked improvement in the financial system at Allen Chapel, together with the elevation of the religious service by the elimination of superfluous announcements and collections is a fine tribute to the skill and intelligence of the popular pastor, Rev. Wm. H. Thomas, and his loyal cabinet of officers. If you enjoy the Kansas City Sun and wish to see it made larger and better, get your neighbor to subscribe for it. Kansas City needs the best possible conveyance of the thought and thrift of our people and that's what The Sun is here for. In order to meet this increasing demand it must have an increasing support such as every loyal citizen may give with but little effort. Do it now. Up to this time President Wilson has not given out that promised letter setting forth his attitude toward the Negro. But why bother about it at all? Is there anything that he can say that he has not already indicated by his silence, his indifference and his total lack of respect for our welfare and decent rights? It is futile under present circumstances to ask for a more cogent expression from a President who all along has sided with Tillman and Vardaman in his treatment of the most loyal and patient one-tenth of the American population. Every patriotic Negro should begin now to influence the sentiment of the voters of his particular neighborhood. If there is absolutely nothing for us outside of the Republican party. The only way for us to ever regain the civic and political rights which have been taken away from us is to unite in restoring the nation and the state into the control of the party of freedom and prosperity. Let us vote for a rule at Washington which will insure us against national discrimination and insult. Let us vote for a rule at Jefferson City which will provide for our fair treatment and protection in our homes. Altogether now Hughes and Fairbanks, Dickey and Lamm. If you could get Walter S. Dickey to manage your business for you, you'd jump at the chance, you wouldn't you? Well, why not get him to act for you as one of the senatorial directors of the state in the management of the greatest business corporation in the world—the U. S. government—in which you are an assessable stockholder? Among the other things that the election of Judge Lamm to the governorship will mean, will be a condemnation of the high-handed outrage which the Democratic state administration police board in Kansas City committed last spring in causing the arrest "for investigation" of over three hundred citizens on election day morning and holding them until it was too late to vote. The sequel showed that the governor was in on this wrong. This is one of the things endorsed by the Democratic state platform by implication. Senator Reed, who is a candidate for re-election, though nearly a hundred thousand Democrats indicated their opposition to him on primary day, is calling on the people to stand by their president. Only about a year ago, Reed's ears were warm at what the Democrats of Missouri and particularly the Democratic newspapers were saying ab—out his own opposition to Wilson because the latter hadn't given some of his henchmen jobs for which they were not fit. Under the circumstances, thousands of Democrats are going to take advantage of the circumstances to vote for a high class business man, Walter S. Dickey, for senator, in the belief that most of the problems of government are now business problems and ought to be solved on a business rather than a political basis by patriotic business men.

We hope it will not be a farewell sermon indeed because the entire membership and friends of Ebenezer feel that at this particular time we cannot give the Reverend up. We need him to finish the great work he has started in that of building our much-needed edifice. The past week his reverence received the following letter from th Hon. N. C. Crews, who was in Indiana, on a campaign tour in the interest of the race and the Republican party of which he is a member: "Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 23, 1916. "Dr. W. C. Williams.

It was indeed a musical and literary treat. The president, Mrs. W. Dwiglings, presiding, opened the forum in her usual graceful commanding manner and in her opening remarks insisted upon the forum making a concrete showing during this year's work; place itself upon record and show that it could do something tangible; that it it is merely a place to display literary talent but a place for racial uplift. Prof. Kealing's address "Filling the bill" was deeply interesting, instructive and practical. In conclusion he suggested that measures be taken toward obtaining information of social, industrial and general conditions of Negroes. The forum at once decided to act and a committee of five was appointed to draft an outline to be followed in securing statistics of the Negroes' general conditions in Kansas City, Kansas, as this is necessary in attempting any kind of general movement to improve the Negroes' general condition.

Chapman.) The tables were turned. I laughed outright as I realized it. There, back in the timber, at a lonely spot which few would visit or pass, I had left a stalwart Mexican soldier tied hand and foot. Certainly I was safe from his pursuit until morning. The way it had come about was this: For several days I had been located at Mayena with the United States troops, I was taking photographs for a series of magazine articles and had become quite well acquainted with Lieutenant Harney Rossiter. Before coming to Mayena I had been for a week at Pulza. There I had met Miss Wentworth and her family. The impression made upon me by Miss Wentworth was a lasting one. When Lieutenant Rossiter stated that he knew the Wentworths there was a friendly bond established between us at once. It suffered a severe strain my last hour in camp, however, Rossiter came to me looking anxious and distrustful. "You told me you were going back to Pulza?" he said, and inquiringly. "I've got to," I told him. "I left all the views I took in Chihuahua there, counting on picking them up on my homeward-bound trip." I did not tell Rossiter, of course, that I was gidd at an excuse, as a return would naturally mean a second meeting with the charming Miss Wentworth. "I got a letter about two hours since from Puza," said the lieutenant. d. alvarez I Passed No Habitation During the d First Five Miles. I Passed No Habitation During the 4th First Five Miles. "which troubles me a good denl, You know the critical condition of affairs at Puiza. I have received private word that the native commandant there is about to be superseded by his former predecessor, Maceo. That means trouble, danger for Mr. Wentworth and his family." "Why? I asked, at once interested, "Because Maceo is a rejected suitor of Miss Wentworth, and it was through Mr. Wentworth that he was relieved of his official duties. Under the old regime that would mean little. With the present factional lines narrowing, it gives to the treacherous and revengeful Maceo the power of a tyrant, and he will exert it. "And your message to Mr. Wentworth would be?" "To leave Pulza at once. To delay is to be caught in a net. Even you will not find it easy to evade the guerillas. Within forty-eight hours they may have their forces spread so that those south of the river here will be completely shut in." "I think I understand," I said. "You are very kind to have all this consideration for the Wentworths, fleutenant." "Not when you reflect that I am engaged to marry Miss Wentworth." "Huh!." I barely suppressed the utterance of amazement and disappointment. Then there was no hope for me in that direction! It was rather a sorry mission I was undertaking for a distinct rival. However, I summoned up all my manliness and started on my journey. It was late the next day when a shot haunted me. It came from a thicket. My horse fell, and before I could get out from under him a brawny Mexican, wearing the insurrectionist uniform, was at my side, his carbine leveled. He had the drop on me, and it was sure death to make a move to resist or escape. He bound my arms with a belt, tied a lariat about my waist, making me understand that I was a prisoner and considered as a spy, and bound for his camp ten miles ahead, he mounted his horse. I had some rough trumping to do. It was well on towards dark when we came to a little settlement. My captor, boastfully parading me, rode up to the general store and celebrated his heroism by being helped to half a dozen strong drinks. Supplied with a bottle of the stuff, he resumed his journey. We had not gone two miles when I noted his drooping pose. Overcome with the strong liquor, he was asleep in the saddle. The horse halted to browse and his rider slept on. It was my chance. At a standstill I could work with some system at my bonds. Soon I was free. To dispose safely of my captor was an easy task. I took his hat, his jacket and his weapons. Then it was that I laughed exultantly, for there was only twenty-five miles between myself and Pulza. I passed no habitation, met nobody during the first five miles of my ride forward. I had fancied I knew the route perfectly, as I had traversed it before, but at the end of an hour began to be confused. I lost the trail and did not catch it up again until I came in sight of a lonely little cabin. It held a light. I was desperately thirsty, and, glancing in at the open window, I noted a water pail on the table and the only inmate of the desolate place, a little, undersized Mexican lad, about five years of age. He was seated at the table eating porridge. As I stepped through the doorway he sprang nimbly to his feet and faced me. I almost laughed outright. The shrewd, tmplish expression on the face of the youngster was absolutely irresistible as instantly he threw up both hands. Then, his keen eyes looking me all over, he uttered two words: I nodded my head. He was reassured. He went back to his porridge like one who has a duty to perform and had received a safe-conduct. I drank at the pail and left the hut, turning the queer indecent over in my mind as I rode along. Suddenly, in Mexican: "Halt—who goes?" It was an inspiration that came to me, looking down the barrel of a leveled carbine. At once there flashed a thought through my mind. The parents of the Mexican lad had tutored him for a critical occasion—nonresistance and the password. I gave it now, "Sandoval Muerte," "Pass on—to the left. You are for the town?" I grunted an assent. Again I laughed—this time to drive away a shiver, for I had met a narrow graze. The hour was late when I reached Pulza. At once I visited the Wentworth domicile and had Mr. Wentworth out of bed, explaining matters. He looked serious, and decided on immediate action. It was wise, for a few hours later the entire district was under insurrection domination. "My daughters," he introduced a little later, when he led two charming young ladies into the room, who had hastily dressed at the tidings of alarm. My Miss Wentworth came forward with a welcoming smile. As I spoke of Lieutenant Rossiter, the other Miss Wentworth looked anxious and relieved. For the first time I knew there were two Misses Wentworth, and mine, the younger, was not a financee. That is, until we were over the border. We did not wait for daylight. My meeting with the Mexican sentinel a few miles from town convinced me that the insurrectionists were critically near. Our party was the last through the district without challenge. The doughty lieutenant had his Eleanor and I my Daisy, who made of me to her friends a hero complete. Got Lid at a Bargain. Mistress McHaudem is a very keen hand at a bargain and few have ever been able to boast that they have "got the best o' her" in a den. The other day she entered the village shop, where everything and anything, from a pain of spectacles down to an ounce of tea, can be purchased, and said: "Wad ye sell me a sugar basin without the cover?" "Oh, aye," said the merchant, who would sell the shoes off his feet at a profit. "Hoo muckle is this, then?" inquired the customer. "That's a shullin' complete." "An' whit for the basin without the lid?" "Eleven pence." "D'y'e only tak' a penny aff for the loi?" "Weel, the lid's no' worth mair nor a penny." "Eh, that's guild news," ejaculated the lady, with a sigh of relief. "It's just the lid o' mine I've broken." And so saying she laid down a penny and walked off with the coveted lid before the astonished shopkeeper had time to utter a word. Needless Work. It is necessary, if one would avoid needless stains and soil, to train children to keep their hands off walls within and without their own homes and those of other people. The inevitable result of much play is soiled hands, and it were a needless cruelty to expect children to be always immaculate. These fingers, fresh from balls and tools and stone, and all manner of dust and muck, go thoughtfully against your front door, your light-colored weather-boarding, your portico pillars or railings. They respect not the wallpaper on the stairway or elsewhere; out go the hands as their owners pass up and down, and in and out, and everywhere there are defences. It is a simple matter to tutor your own children to refrain from this habit, but you suffer from other boys and girls as well. Mothers in general should warn their children to keep hands off at home and in the homes of others. It is not pleasant to the tidy housekeeper to note, after a housecleaning, fresh finger marks waiting to greet the first caller. Salt Mines Worth a Visit. The salt mines of the Maramross-Zsiget district have been worked for centuries and many Americans who have toured this part of Hungary have visited the deep galleries whose rock-crystal walls glitter as if studded with countess iridescent jewels as they reflect the rays of the electric lights. One of the most interesting mines is that of Ronaszek which contains a great subterranean salt lake having a depth of nearly 300 feet. Proper Indignation. An old couple had come up to London on a short holiday, and while looking round one day they saw over a shop a sign which read: "Johnson's Shirt Store." "Well, I declare!" said the old lady. "I wonder who tore it, and what do they want to tell people about it for? Can't his wife mend it?"—London Mail. Healthy Disease. Laziness is a disease, declares one of the eminent doctors. The surprising fact is that most of the victims of the disease always look so distressingly healthy-Providence Journal THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1916 ROUMANIA and its People CARLOS MAYOR ROYAL PALACE AT BUCHAREST VIVID picture of the Roumanian peasantry, whose country has been drawn into the destructive vortex of the European war, is presented in a communication to the National Geographic society from James Howard Gore. He says: A Roumanian village looks its best in the spring, when nature, awakened from the sleep of winter, is green and fresh. At Easter the cottages have been whitewashed and the doors and window frames freshly painted in bright colors. The thatched roof has been put in order, and in its entirety the cottage calls to mind the black-eyed country girls, with their glistening strings of multi-colored beads around their necks. The Roumanian peasant women one meets by the roadside are the fairest among the Bulgarian peoples, and this natural gift is most apparent under conditions which are calculated to enhance it. Their dress is varied and elaborate. The foundation is a sort of shift reaching to the ankle, the upper part embroidered with colored cotton, usually red or black. Over this is a petticoat which, in its material and detail, reflects the taste and buying power of the wearer. On her head the peasant woman wears a scarf of cotton tissue with silk stripes if her means permit, and on gala occasions she puts on a brighter kerchief, ornamented with a fringe or a row of spangles. Both men and women seem partial to having their heads covered, even in the house; but it is not regarded proper to eat without removing the hat. In no part of Europe do the peasants hold so tenaciously to their distinctive costume as in the uplands of Roumania. It is, in fact, almost an asset in nationalism, and its unifying influence was emphasized some years ago by the late dowager queen, widely known as Carmen Sylva, when she herself put on the native dress. What They Grow and Eat. While wheat is the great staple of this agricultural country, the soil is equally adapted to corn (maize), and would be called upon for greater crops if the demand should justify it. The ease with which corn can be converted into substantial food tempts the people to give but little attention to the form in which it is prepared for consumption. Polenta, a sort of mush, can be made of cornmeal and water, and if time or energy be lacking, it will be placed on the table insufficiently cooked. Although many believe that this is the cause of the greater part of the pellagra so common in Roumania, it is difficult to persuade the peasant to exercise greater care in the preparation of polenta or substitute for it some of the many palatable dishes that can be made from corn. Cooking, unfortunately, is not developed as it should be, and the people seem to be content with simple fare and a sameness that yields but little to the seasons. Gardening is looked upon as petty farming and not worthy of the attention of a man who calls himself a farmer; in fact, so few Roumanians have gardens that they are called "bulgarii," since the greater part of the vegetables grown are in the hands of immigrant Bulgarians. The soil and climate of the country are adapted to as wide a range as can be found in our middle Atlantic states, however. A succinct description of Roumania's boundaries is given in a bulletin issued by the National Geographic society. The two big western jaws of Roumania—the provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia—look as if they had been set with gigantic, jagged teeth by some titan deity of war. And these great molars, the towering Carpathians, seem ready to close down upon and I read an official report when in Bombay that during the preceding year tigers had killed 1,000 persons in India. You shudder at the fearful ravages of this king of jungles. But at the very time I was in Bombay the fleas were killing 300 persons every week in that one city alone. Nevertheless, the anti-cruelty crank would almost jail you for daring to kill a poor, little, innocent flea. Those fleas were riding upon the backs of rodents and depositing the devastating bubonic plague in thousands of homes throughout India. The insignificant and negligible thing called a flea yesterday has today replaced the tiger and the deadly cobra as the vast menace to 300,000,000 souls in India. "Ive got a big notion to quit the hotel business!" declared the landlord of the Petunia tavern. "What with provisions higher than a cat's back and climbing every minute, and the drummers yelling like starved dragons for the best on the market, and guests kicking about this, that and the other Hla Burdens. bite from Austria-Hungary's domain the rich region known as Transylvania, with an area known of 21,000 square miles. Passes on West Frontier. From Verderolva in the southwest, where the Danube rushes through the Kazan defile out of Hungary and becomes the southern boundary of Roumania, to that point in a northeastern direction where the three frontiers of Russia, Roumania and Bukowina meet is 300 miles in an airline, but following the crest of the Carpathians along the devious international boundary between western Roumania and eastern Hungary the distance is more than 500 miles. This line is pierced at several points by passes and swift-flowing rivers which break through that rocky wall; but, generally speaking, the mountains, which are known as the Transylvania Alps and which at some places attain an altitude of more than 8,000 feet, form a great rampart for Hungary, as the eastern slopes into Roumania are much more precipitous than those leading westward down the fertile Hungarian plain. The most famous breaks in this mountain wall are the previously mentioned Kazan pass, which is also known as the Gorge of the Iron Gates; the Roteturm pass, which follows the depression of the turbulent Aluta river; the Borgo and Predeal passes, Railroad engineers have taken advantage of these natural gateways through the rocks, one of the most important railways being that which connects the Roumanian capital, Bucharest, with Budapest, via Temesvar. It enters Roumania through the Kazan defile. Roumania touches the northwestern corner of Serbia for a distance of 50 miles below the Iron Gate, the Danube forming the boundary line. To the east, beyond the Serbian frontier town of Radievatz, the broad reaches of the river constitute the dividing line between Bulgaria and Roumania. The northern (Roumanian) bank of the great waterway is largely fen land, presenting a most desolate aspect. Numerous islands dot the bosom of the swift river, whose waters turn the wheels of many floating watermills moored along the bank in this part of its course. Some twenty miles northeast of the Bulgarian railroad junction city of Rustchuck the international boundary ceases to follow the river, but breaks sharply to the southeast, reaching the Black sea at Balkchik. The northeastern boundary of Roumania is the River Pruth, which rises in the Carpathians beyond Czernowitz and flows in a southeasterly direction into the Danube ten miles below the important Roumanian city of Galatz. It separates the province of Moldavia from the Russian province of Bessarabia, a natural boundary of 330 miles. From the confluence of the Pruth with the Danube the larger river is the Russo-Roumanian boundary to the Black sea. The Roumanian frontage from north to south on this great inland sea exceeds 160 miles. It is manifest that the powerful people of this world are by no means necessarily noble, and that most modern kings, poor in quality, petty in spirit, conventional in outlook, controlled and limited, fall far short of kingship. Nevertheless, there is nobility, there is kingship, or this earth is a dustbin and mankind but a kind of skin disease upon a planet. The artocrats are not at the high table, the kings are not enthroned, those who are enthroned are but pretenders and simulacra, kings of the vulgar; the real king and ruler is every man who sets aside the naive passions and self interest of the common life for the rule and service of the world.—H. G.

"During the battle of Jutland bank the naval surgeons performed a terrible task," writes the medical correspondent of the London Times. He tells of the sudden emergency that confronted them, and the hasty transfer of stores and equipment from the sick bays above the armor to the fore and aft distributing stations below it. "Soon in their station," he continues, "they heard the booming of guns, and soon there crept down to them the fumes of the explosive charges. From that time the stations became the scenes of fierce and terrible activity. "In one great ship bellyling smoke filled the doctors' rooms at the very moment when the streams of wounded began to flow down to them, adding suffocation to the thousand other perils of the work. The ship reeled under pounding blows, she staggered in a difficult sea; the conclusion of her guns was so great as to preclude the possibility of adequate surgical assistance. Wearing gas masks, the doctors did what they could, bending their energies selflessly to the great task, as is the tradition of their calling. "In another ship an enemy shell destroyed the aft station utterly so that the whole work of relief fell on the remaining forward one. Hour after hour, without reck of time or exhaustion, the staff labored to overtake its great task. Another ship was hoiled and had her electric light cut off. The medical station was in darkness; it was foul with the gas fumes from the enemy shells; water poured in by the holes in the vessel's sides. Here, single-handed, a young naval surgeon toiled by the light of an electric torch until he was ordered to get his wounded away because the ship was sinking. And this task he achieved so well that not a life was lost. The doctors witnessed strange scenes during these hours, and perhaps the strangest of all was that which followed the anouncement that a German ship had gone down, for then all the wounded, including the man on the operating table, began to cheer." Biggest Water Wagon The Russian duma has passed a bill making the suppression of vodka a permanent national policy. The measure prohibits the manufacture and sale of any beverage containing more than $1\frac{1}{2}$ per cent of alcohol. This bars beer and light wines. "Under the difficult conditions of wartime," says M. Bark, minister of finance, "we ventured to forego a huge drink revenue and thereby most clearly demonstrate that, with a return to pence, when the state exchequer recovers all its former sources of revenue, and a sobered people fully develops its greatly increased productivity in the peaceful field of labor, Russia calmly and confidently will be able to live with a temperance budget." The Russian empire comprises one-seventh of the habitable globe. Its water wagon carries some 175,000,000 people, who, despite the enormous burdens of the costliest war of history, are increasingly prosperous, more "fit" physically, morally and financially than ever before to serve their country. Incas Were Sun Worshippers In religion the Incas were fond of worshiping high places, fine views, and other striking natural objects, such as irregular boulders, waterfalls and springs; the wonders of the air and the sky, such as rain, thunder, the starry firmament, the moon, and above all, the sun. In a cold, mountainous region like the central Andes, it was but natural that the sun, so essential to the raising of crops and the comfort of shivering humanity, should have been regarded as their chief divinity. Of literature, as such they necessarily had none. Their language was probably the Quichua. Mr. Hardy of our expedition, who has been studying it, says that "for one who has not learned it in childhood it is difficult, because of the lack of any good grammar in either Spanish or English."—Hiram Bingham, in the National Geographic Magazine. The Most Virtuous of Birds The Most Virtuous of Birds. Storks, according to some ancient writers (they can hardly be called authorities), are the most virtuous and domestic of birds. One of them, Friar Bartholomew, says: "While the female liveth, the male keepeth truly to her in nest. And if a male espy, in any wise, that the female hath broke spousehue, she shall no more dwell with him, but he beateth and striketh her with his bill, and slayeth her if he may." The same writer remarks that storks, in their oversea migrations, are conveyed by crows, who "withstand all their might fowls that hate storks." An engaging characteristic attributed to these birds is that they "nourish their parents when oppressed with age."—London Chronicle. Missing! A small girl, aged five, was studying intently a picture of the Garden of Eden. At last she said, in a perplexed voice: "But, mother, where is the carriage?" "Carriage!" exclaimed her mother in great surprise. "What can you mean, dear? There was no carriage in the Garden of Eden." "But," remonstrated the child, "you told me that the Lord drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden." Good Faith. "How can you say you enjoy that woman's reading when she is so monotonous?"

Pretty Clothes for Small Maid M Little People Have Been Giver Attention of the World's Greatest Designers. VELVET VERY MUCH IN FAVOR That Material Exceptionally Fashionable, Though Many Others Are Distinctly in Style—Some Hints for the Proper Costuming of the Schoolgirl. There are mothers by the thousands who know not Lanvin. She may be a new perfume, an old wine or a racehorse, for all they care, but way out beyond the bounds of the post office, youngsters wear the things this gifted woman has designed. Unmarried, devoted to her nieces and nephews and building for her family brood a spacious and artistic home near Paris, kind of heart and clever of brain, she has glorified the schoolgirl and put her stamp on the children of the world. The older women will tell you she has done something greater than that; she has made the middle-aged woman look like the schoolgirl, and that gives her the prestige of a sartorial alchemist, a brewer of magic. It is her verdict that the small girl shall wear small clothes. She has made tiny little frocks for kindergarten wear that button down the back and barely reach the knees. To give a touch of gayety, she has embroidered baskets of roses on her frocks. She ignores the waistline and flares her little gowns straight out from shoulder to hem. In Black and Light Colors. Jenny does differently; she adopts black velvet for small girls and also takes up with taffeta in the second mourning colors of violet, mauve and Skirt of Chiffon With Deep Cream Lace Bands; Bodice and Poloisea at Back of Deep Blue Satin. Hat of Blue Velvet With High Crush Crown and Silver Bow in Front. lavender. These she girdles at a high waltine with smocking, cording, velvet ribbon and gold and silver cord. Paquin has also taken up with juvenile costumery. She has reflected the thrill of romantic delight which the French give to their Scotch allies by turning out plaids and tartans that no little girl would be ashamed to wear to school. In all this costumery designed by Paris for juveniles, the skirts are short and full, the bodices slim and tight, the necks cut round and finished in a simple manner. In materials, velvet is exceptionally fashionable; so are taffeta, silk, chiffon, Georgette crepe and the different weaves of army cloth. In the clothes that are not intended for the nursery there is a certain air of sophistication that has been lacking in American clothes for a decade or two. So much for the real youngster. What of her older sister who is going to boarding school or college? Costuming the Schoolgirl. It is no slight task and cannot be accomplished in leisure moments—this arrangement of a schoolgirl's wardrobe. The wisest plan is to give her enough clothes to last until the Christ- SETS FOR BETWEEN-SEASONS Hats and Scarfs of Velvet and Fur Provided to Wear With the Tailor Made. Lovely sets, consisting of the hat and shawl collarette or crush collarette, are featured in New York. These sets combine velvet with fur and will be exceedingly smart worn with the demi-tailleur. A typically youthful set had a mushroom poke hat, the crown an extremely high, puffy tam effect in midnight blue velvet, while the brim was of old-rose cut wool. The shoulder shawl collarette was of velvet, and was lined with the cut wool, the top of which was folded back on the velvet, forming a sort of cuff effect and adding a touch of color. A tiny bunch of silk flowers in old rose finished the hat in front and formed the fastening of the collarette. Another very good-looking set consisted of a large sailor hat of mole color velvet, the brim bound in mole-skin, and the trimming being four moleskin buttons with gold cord loops, --- mrs holidays and not attempt to dress her now for the entire year. This, argues the mother is too extravagant a plan to put into practice, although it is good in theory. A little experiment, however, will prove that this really makes for economy. There are few adults who care to wear the same gown throughout ten months of the year. A woman may not want to keep abreast of the fashions, but no woman is guiltless of the desire to show her public that she knows what they are. This feeling is far more potent in a young girl than in a grown-up. She cares not for quality nor quantity. She wants the last thing at the right moment. If she is compelled to wear the same new frocks from October until May, she will rebel. The consequence is that she will worry her mother into giving her some new frocks after the New Year, with her former ones still valuable. Therefore, try the system of giving her just enough to last her through the Christmas holidays, and take advantage of the reasonable prices of fashionable clothes at the shops. Making for Economy. It is perhaps wiser to provide her with two one-piece frocks and a top coat than with a tailored suit so early in the season. The classroom frock which used to bother mothers' minds so much is now simplified by the universal fashion of separate flannel skirts, sweaters and shirt waists. There are many schools in which the girls insist upon wearing wash skirts throughout the season, but this is an extravagant fashion because of the laundry bill. The preferred shirtwaist is of silk instead of cotton, which calls for a bit more money in the beginning, but which saves more in the end. The top coat seems to be essential. There are admirable new ones brought over from Paris and also designed in Frock of White Georgette Crepe With Flounce of Midnight Blue Satin, Skirt Fastened Down Back With White Velvet Buttons. Hood Collar Finished at Back With Silk Tassel. America. The smart ones have loose, circular capes that flare away from a half-low, rolling collar, with a fastening on the side instead of in front. As for the one-piece frocks, they can be chosen in any color and material that the girl likes. There must be one for afternoon and informal evening wear, which the French designers make up in white or cream lace with colored satin or in Georgette crepe with satin. The Hats They Wear. One of the new hats for schoolgirls is excessively good-looking, made of plaited black velvet, and silver braid. It is a combination of the hats of sailors and Chinese mandarins. France, you know, took hold of the Chinese influence again as soon as she introduced the Louis XV fashions. The embroidered hat has had its day. The colored felt hat, soft, silky felt, with a large, flopping brim and a soft, dented crown, will rival fudge as the schoolgirl's chief delight. In deep pink, without a touch of any other color or trimming, it is strongly desired. (Copyright, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) ranged from the crown center to the brim edge. The collarette of this set was of the muffler type and combined the moleskin and mole velvet. Still another was of black velvet and striped novelty fur that had a touch of yellow in it; this was carried out on the hat in the form of a woven gold thread duck that formed the solitary central trimming. Braid Monograms. Here is a new, quick and inexpensive way to letter household articles. Buy a five-cent card of old-fashioned rickrack braid in blue, pink or any desired shade. Draw your letters and securely fasten down one end of the braid. Now twist the braid so that all the points are toward the outside of the letter, then sew to the material. This takes only a few minutes to do, and looks very well, especially on bath towels or other large articles.—Woman's Home Companion. Flower Necklet. A charming fashion for small children of the smock-wearing age is a flower necklet to match the smock. By VICTOR REDCLIFFE (Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman.) Judge John Hampden, portly, pleasant-faced, great-hearted, pointed his finger at a select corner of the cigar case. "Fish out those three for fifty," he ordered in his genial expansive way. "Do up a couple of dozen." "Birthday anniversary, Judge?" insinuated a legal acquaintance. "Nothing of the sort—just going to react an old friend." "Must be a favored one." "He is. I never married and he did. Sorry for him, but he's true blue. That's why I love him. Nothing too good for him. Twenty years square as a sentry to a faded, dictatorial scold. I fancy my twenty on the bench has been less iksome. Ah, me! so it goes, but I respect him for his idelity." Judge Hampden was speaking of an old and dear friend, indeed—Martin Overton. They had been schoolboys together. Both had fallen in love with the same girl. Neither had got her. The Judge had never married. Overton had wedded a spoiled beauty. Within a year he had learned his mis-take. Hers was a cross, crabbed nature. She became a tyro. For five years regularly Overton had come to the Judge to relate his troubles. During fifteen years, however, they had drifted apart. Now a telegram had come from a distant city where Over- Walter Caro Sat Bolt Upright. ron lived. It ran: "Must see you on urgent business. Will be with you at 8 p. m." And at 8 p. m., promptly in his handsome bachelor apartments the Judge sat at a groaning table awaiting his guest. Everything he could think of from favorite cigars to odd dishes he recalled Overton used to like was on the table. There was a ring at the door. The Judge fairly hugged the thin, haggard man who was shown into the room. Then he regarded him more closely and his face fell a trifle. If he had spoken out his real mind he would have said, "Overton, you make me feel old," for his guest seemed to have advanced years since last he had seen him. He was reserved and his lips twitched when the Judge asked him about his family. The Judge did not pursue the subject, but with a suppressed sigh decided that Mrs. Overton had not improved in her ways with the years. Overton threw off his shell of weariness as the meal progressed, however. No one could be long with jovial Judge Hampden without feeling the influence of his bright humor. "You spoke about business, Overton," observed the Judge finally. "Yes," nodded his guest. "I want you to loan me $10,000." "Certainly," bowed the Judge. He was somewhat surprised at the largeness of the amount, but he instantly drew out his check book and fountain pen. "There you are, Overton," he added lightly. "Now to have an old time friendly talk with you." A spasm indefinable crossed Overton's face. The devotion, the confidence expressed in the act of the Judge seemed to touch him deeply. Not a reference did his considerate friend rake to the use intended for the money, to security, repayment. Absolute trust was indicated. "I want to arrange for your room, Overton," spoke Hampden, as, after an hour's chat, he arose from the table. He led Overton into his little library and saw him ensconced in its easiest chair. "I shouldn't be gone long. Meantime, entertain yourself. There's the magazines and—see here, did I ever show you my record book? All the cases on which I have passed. There are some famous ones there. Sort of a fad of mine to keep full particulars." The Judge placed a heavy thick book on a little stand before his guest. The latter turned over its pages indifferently at first. Then his interest awakened. As the Judge had said, the book contained the photographs, the criminal record and the life history of those who from time to time had come before him on trial. Overton turned over the pages casually. Some of the cases were noted ones and he recalled their newspaper publicity in the past. "Suppressed" read a sheet lightly laid over a heavier one.

It is true that if hornets or birds make holes in grapes, pears or other ripe fruit, the bees will feed on the juice which is exuded.

Orchards in which bees are present in large numbers are almost always much more productive than those in which only a few bees are to be found and many apple growers are now establishing apiaries in or near their orchards. It is not necessary to have the hives actually under the trees and it may be better to have them in an adjoining field if the orchard is to be cultivated, as otherwise the hives might be in the way and the horses stung. Bees seem to have an instinctive dislike for horses and will even attack the bee keeper sometimes if he starts to work in the bee yard when the odor of horses is upon his clothing.

Beekeeping is not to be recommended to hostlers. To the orchardist the honey and wax which he gets from his bees are merely by-products. An extra yield in fruit is what he is after. And he gets it, as may be judged from an instance cited by one of the state experiment stations. It seems that two orchards situated in the same part of the country were cultivated in exactly the same manner and had the same kinds of trees. Yet one was prolific and the other a failure. When the experiment station was appealed to, the trouble was diagnosed as a lack of bees to pollinate the flowers. "You are wrong," the answer was flashed back, "for there are no bees in either orchard." The inspector was not convinced, however, and after a search he found a very strong colony of bees in a fallen log in one corner of the bearing orchard. Bees were immediately installed in the other orchard by the owner, and as a result he netted nearly $4,000 the next season—pretty good interest on an investment of $15 or $20 in bees. Most people do not know that an apple blossom requires to be fertilized several times in order to produce the best fruit, but this is a fact. Moreover, the blossoms of some trees must be pollinized from another source if fruit is to be set. The work is done largely by honey bees, although wild bees and other insects help out to some extent.

His face ashen, his eyes haunted with a devastating fear and horror, he read of the private arrest of Cora Durand, twenty-five, adventures, arrested for robbing an admirer, a man of wealth, of a large sum of money by drugging him. She had been in an English prison and had come to the United States as a new field for further victims. Her methods were given in detail, her description perfectly outlined, even to a tiny scar on the lobe of one ear. Overton arose to his feet rigid, his eyes fixed on the volume lying open with the photograph of a regally beautiful woman looking up at him. Then he drew from his pocket—its counterpart more recent of taking though it was, there could be no doubt that the portraits were of one and the same woman. The one he had taken from his pocket fell from his nerveless hand. He allowed it to lie unheeded at his feet. A white horror was in his face and he acted as though impelled by some automatic force. He drew the check the Judge had given him from his pocket, placed it on the table, proceeded noiselessly to the hallway entrance to the apartments, selected his overcant and left the place. Judge Hampden was lost in amazement when he returned. His friend was gone. He questioned the servant, but the latter had not witnessed the departure of Overton. Then the Judge noticed that the hat of his guest was gone from the hall tree. It was when the Judge discovered the photograph which Overton had unconsciously left behind him and noticed the record book open at its counterpart, that his keen judicial skill was called into action. The abandoned cheek, the sudden departure of Overton showed that some vast, startling impulse had swayed him to sudden action not anticipated. The Judge formed a ready theory and it was the correct one. Overton, the man of probity, had in some mysterious way come under the shren-like influence of Cora Durand. Perhaps weedied of a nugging, loveless wife he had desperately determined to get what money he could and fly with the clever adventures. The accidental discovery of the real character of the woman had come like a shock, causing him to recoil in horror from the step he so nearly had taken. The Judge was too thorough a logician to intermiddle where sure destiny was working out a problem for his tempted, misguided friend. No explanation came to him from Overton, none was sought. Sorrowfully the Judge reflected over the weakness, almost crime, of the man he so esteemed. With relief and hope he incidentally learned that Overton was pursuing the even tenor of his way, and one day he saw the notice of the death of Mrs. Overton in the newspaper. He met Overton after that. Just once the latter referred to the past. "Friend of the years," he said, clasping the hand of the Judge and looking him straight in the eyes, "under your roof there came to me the redemption of my life. I am content when I recall that I made the last years of my life attentive and loyal to the wife I never loved. I shudder when I think of the yawning abyss into which I so nearly sank, bringing disgrace and sorrow to the two children who are now so dear to me!" How Alcohol Is Made. Most people when informed of the fact that alcohol is being manufactured from sawdust immediately assume that the product is the so-called "wood alcohol" of commerce. This is not the case, and a statement of the two processes of manufacture makes the distinction clear. True wood or methyl alcohol is produced by the destructive distillation of wood. Cordwood is placed in a retort which is heated until the gases and liquids are driven off and only charcoal remains. The liquid distillate is then divided into components, one of which is wood alcohol. In the production of ethyl alcohol from sawdust the process at certain stages is very similar to that used with grain, molasses, potatoes, etc., and the product is exactly the same. The sawdust is cooked with dilute acid to produce sugars from the wood substance. These sugars are leached out and the liquor is fermented and distilled, producing grain or ethyl alcohol.-American Lumberman. Correct Thought First. Social reform is not to be secured by noise and shouting, by complaints and denunciation, by the formation of parties or the making of revolutions, but by the awakening of thought and the progress of ideas. Until there be correct thought, there cannot be right action and when there is correct thought right action will follow. Power is in the hands of the masses of men. What oppresses the masses is their own ignorance, their own shortsighted selfishness—Henry George. Thought That Helps In old days there were angels who came and took me by the hand and led them away from the city of destruction. We see no white-winged angels now. But yet men are led away from threatening destruction; a hand is put into theels, which leads them forth gently toward a calm and bright land, so that they look no more backward, and the hand may be a little child's.-George Elliot. Dogs Beared for Human Food Among the Chinese a particular species of dog is said to be reared for the table. It is a small dog of a greyhound shape, with a muzzle much more elongated than in terriers. The flesh of black dogs is preferred to that of animals of any other color on account of the greater amount of nutriment the black dogs are supposed to possess.

It has to be done in green-houses where strawberries are grown, for when bees are used the fruit is always misshapen, but the winter strawberries sell for a dollar or two a plait! Perhaps it may be said without getting anybody into trouble that the free use of water by spraying makes possible some of the remarkable exhibitions which bees occasionally give. Water is not always used, by any means, but when it is the bees are rendered surprisingly tractable and docile. There are no bee tamers, however, who are not stung at times. Indeed, they may be stung very often, but they are injured to the experience and do not even wince. And, of course, an experienced beekeeper learns how to handle bees without making them angry. Furthermore, some bees are much gentler than others. Many times it is a good plan to kill the queen in a cross colony and replace her with a young queen from a quiet colony. Yet the cross bees are likely to be among the best honey producers in the apiary. Many farmers fail to succeed with bees simply because they neglect to learn anything about their management. It is true that bees do not require a great amount of attention and do best when left alone most of the time. Yet there are certain things which have to be done just at the right time and in Just the right way. These are the few things that the farmer should know about. In early spring, for example, the bees may easily starve to death for lack of stores, although they may have come through the winter safely. In that event they must be fed on sugar sirup if no honey is available. Equal amounts of sugar and water may be used and it is best to have the water warmed, but the sugar should never be melted on the stove as it is likely to be burned. The sirup may be given in one of several different kinds of feeders, but few are better than a shallow pan from the ten-cent store with a little excel-sor in it for the bees, to walk on. If this pan filled with sirup is placed on top of the frames taking honey out is no trouble at all, when a bee escape is used, for the bees do not even know what is going on. The best way to begin beekeeping is to buy a colony or two from some up-to-date apiarist in the neighborhood, but a bive full of bees can be shipped by express or the insects may be bought by the pound if one already has an empty bive. Indeed, this is a practice which is becoming very common, for even experienced beekeepers often invest in one, two or three-pound packages of bees in order to build up weak colonies. It is not an unusual thing for bees to be shipped all the way from Texas to Canada. Sometimes wild bees may be captured in the woods and brought home. Although called wild bees, these honey makers which are found in logs and hollow trees have escaped from captivity at some time, for there were no honey bees in this country until they were brought here by the Pilgrim Fathers. If the farmer owns more than half a dozen colonies of bees it will pay him to get an extractor. This is a simple device for separating the honey from the combs, the latter being placed in a frame which revolves at a high rate of speed, the liquid honey being thrown out of the wax cells by centrifugal force, just as cream is separated from milk. Then the combs may be put back in the hives for the bees to fill again. The farmer can usually get more honey this way and will have less swarming.

Evan B. Stotsenburg, attorney general, tells a story concerning the early days of the telephone in New Albany. A character of the town, who operated an office in rooms just above the livery stable, was impressed with the benefits of the telephone and had one placed in his office. Meanwhile the new-fangled instrument also went into the livery stable. Then the town character sat down and waited for someone to take advantage of the new instrument. No one did. One day the telephone bell in the livery stable, however, rang with all its might. "Hello," yelled the livery stable proprietor. "Hello, yourself," answered the voice of the town character, upstairs.

It is a mistake for any farmer to try to keep bees in the old-fashioned box hives, for they cannot be managed so well and getting the honey out is likely to be a painful as well as exciting process. Likewise, thousands of bees are needlessly sacrificed, and the hives are almost sure go be neglected. Modern hives cost but little, yet may be taken entirely to pieces and the bees looked over without the loss of a single one. And Advantages of the Telephone.

Landscape gardening and architecture must properly include all forms of decoration that will increase the attractiveness of the lawn, and such as will add at the same time a monetary value to the home. It is not desired to have simply a pretty lawn, but one that will enhance the value of the property itself, says House and Garden. There are many things that will materially increase the value of the lawn from an artistic standpoint. Among these may be mentioned the pergola. It is one of the newer forms of lawn decoration in this country, but deserves encouragement on the part of the real home lovers, whose desire is to add to the home plan. One should understand, however, that the pergola is not simply a decoration. It possesses useful features in addition to its attraction as an ornament, and wherever erected increases the charm of the setting. It serves as a bower, a retreat, and a nook. It may be covered with vines, and serve as a refuge from inclement weather. Frequently it lends into the lawn and sometimes to the garage, or terminates at a pond or miniature garden. At other times it will serve as a bridge, with columns at either end, in this way spanning an otherwise open ravine and adding to the architectural effects of the home. In country homes it has a special place, because of the expanse that many of the country abodes possess, thereby making its necessity more keenly felt. Thus we see that the pergola is in reality a useful ornament, and one that is finding more general favor as home-builders come to realize its need. It should be given a fair share of the construction man's consideration. The study of the varying materials with which it is built and the effects of the different types of architectural variations are widespread. Its very popularity has been the fundamental reason why there are today a larger number of the structural materials used in its manufacture. WE WANT REAL HOMES AGAIN Americans More and More Understand Value of Having Residence With Some Land Around It. We are today, for the second time in America, reaching the homestead period. We had it back in the old colonial days, when we built substantially. Then came the second generation of our foreign-born population, and their spirit was expressed in elaborate and futile imitations of homes unsuited to American lives. More leisure has come to us, a more settled spirit of patriotism that breeds sympathy with all national achievement, and the time now seems ripe for the building of homes suited to the American spirit, substantial, comfortable, facing the servant problem frankly, realizing a growing interest in beauty, expressing, too, the keynote of our civilization — individually, says the Craftsman. Because we are demanding homes of the type that we want to live in, home building has become the most absorbing topic of this generation. Whereens even a few years ago the difficulty was to keep the country boy and girl in any way attached to the land, the city holding the lure that unbalanced all youth, today the world is reaching back to home life, gardening, farming; you find boys who work in the city telling you frankly that they travel many miles a day rather than give up country life. You find young women planning from the day of their marriage to have a home of their own, built to their needs, furnished as they like it. BEAUTY VALUABLE IN ITSELF When You Plant Shrubs Around Your Home Remember Some Are Useful and Ornamental, Too. A very practical writer in a popular magazine recently condemned the American custom of planting purely ornamental trees and shrubs. Such things, he contended, performed no useful work, and ought to be discarded. The redbud and flowering almonds should give place to cherry and peach trees; and roses and spires, precumably, should make way for currants and gooseberries. Only thus could we have a garden scheme worthy of a practical people. There are elements of truth in such a doctrine. Too many people fail to recognize the beauty inherent in plants, trees and shrubs cultivated for food—in a cherry tree orchard, in a field of blossoming clover or ripening wheat. But the central idea of this practical creature is false altogether, for he fails to recognize that beauty is worth while in and of itself, and needs no indorsement from either stomach or pocketbook.

SMITH, 3406 E. 6th St., Kansas City, Mo. Madam Martin's "Sanitary Hair Preparations" have produced results that no other preparations have done. My scalp was in a very bad condition; my hair was about 1½ inches in length, but after three months' treatment with Mme. Martin's Sanitary Hair Preparations my hair has grown 3¼ inches. For many years I used many other preparations, but found nothing that would heal my scalp and grow my hair, until I used Mme. Martin's Preparations. I highly recommend them.
