KANSAS CITY DRUGGIST TO THE FRONT KANSAS CITY DRUGGIST TO THE FRONT Dr. Theo. Smith Runs Only Negro Mail Order Drug Store in Country. HAS BRADSTREET RATING It is considered one of the finest and best stocked drug stores owned by Negroes in the United States. Strangers visiting Kansas City, Mo., are cordially invited to call and see it. Dr. Smith is considered one of the largest drug buyers in the country among his people. Having a first class rating and having sufficient amount of cash on hand at all times, enables him to buy in large quantities and sell cheaper than the average druggist. Through this method he has built up a large mail order drug business. He makes it a business to carry all of the leading Negro manufactured goods, such as toilet articles, dying combs, hair growers and shampoos. In fact, everything that can be found in the drug line. He also carries all of the leading Negro newspapers and periodicals. If you want anything in the drug and sundry line, if you want a position as a drug clerk, write to Theo. Smith, 1301 East Eighteenth street, Kansas City, Mo., "The Mail Order Drug House of the West." THE KNOCKERS I know he must be doing well, I know he's getting on. His work has now begun to tell, His struggle time has gone; He now has passed the dreary days, The lonesome ones and grim. And now he's treading better ways For folks are knocking him. His skill has caught the eye of men, His worth is seen at last. He's left the throng that knew him when His skies were overcast. He's won the laurel for his brow By toil anl pluck and vin. And he is doing real work now, For folks are knocking him. The Knocker is a curious cuss, He never starts to whine Or fling his envious shafts at us Until our work is fine. It's only men with skill to do Real work he tries to block, And so congratulations to The man the knockers knock. DUBOIS COMPARES VOTE OF SOUTH AND NORTH. Dr. W. E. B. Dudols, in a lengthy article on "Why the South is in the Saddle," makes an interesting comparison of the southern and northern vote. It is shown that in 1912 New York, with 45 electors, cast 1,587,983 votes, while Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi together with 45 electors, cast 345,987 votes. In Alabama the combined vote of the nine Democratic congressmen was but 75,528, while the combined vote of eight congressmen from Kansas was 483,683. Hefflin, from Alabama, whose only claim to fame has been the introduction of anti-Negro measures, was "elected" to Congress by 8,100 votes. In Mississippi Sisson, another arch enemy of the Negro, received 4,899 votes. The lowest vote received by any congressman from Kansas was 46,185. "It would seem," says Dr. Dubois, "that each Mississippi voter (and only white men vote in Mississippi) cast thirteen votes where a Kansas voter casts one. We ask in all candor how long is Republican government going to endure such circumstances? How long is this, the most burning question of American democracy, going to be 'let alone' by patriotic Americans?" FOOT BALL The Kansas City Sun PROF. R. G. JACKSON The greatest organist of the race. PROF..JACKSON PLAYS Renders Concert On the Big Fifteen Thousand Dollar Pipe Organ Prof. R. G. Jackson, dean of the musical department of Western University, Quindaro, Kansas, was singularly honored in striking the opening note of the Kansas State Teachers' association in Topeka yesterday morning. Prof. Jackson rendered an unusually pleasing program. Everyone of the four thousand teachers seemed to thoroughly enjoy every number, and evidenced the same by whole hearted unstinted applause. The Sun is especially glad to see such recognition so justly shown members of our race. It serves to acquaint the other race with the better side of our people and this helps to bring about a more cordial relationship between the races. Such men as Prof. Jackson, who are taking front rank in their profession, can be counted upon to do their share in revealing the remarkable attainments the colored people are making. The following is the excellent program Prof. Jackson rendered on the big pipe organ: Offertorie A. Flat . . . Read Twilight . . . Harper Canadian Bells . . . Schaffer Hymns— (a) In Thy Cleft.

E. Moorland Expected Special Rate During Campaign. "We have set up a target for the Colored Association to shoot at and especially Kansas City." The above is a line from a message sent the managers of the Kansas City associations at the close of the greatest membership campaign ever staged by a Colored association. This message came from Indianapolis. 511 new members were added to their roll giving that organization a total membership of 1118. Since the memorable building campaign in 1913, when Kansas City broke many records and established others in the matter of collecting funds, erecting and entering the building, the associations of the country view with each other to out-do and set new records for Kansas City to reach. To meet the present challenge, the managing board cast about for two of the strongest, most popular and enthusiastic members of the association for captains, Mr. S. H. P. Edwards to captain the "Blues" and Mr. Austin Young to captain the "Reds." These men have already chosen as their lieutenants and workers for this Second Annual Membership Campaign Nov. 22 to Dec. 3, the following men. Blues: Reds: W. H. Houston, H. W. Becks, H. C.

Among the great fraternal insurance societies of this country stands the American Woodmen, with headquarters at Denver, Colo. This society was founded in 1901 under the laws of Colorado, where the Mobile bill is in force and whose insurance laws are recognized as being the best in existence for the protection of policy holders. In the beginning, the founders of this society recognized the fact that insurance, under whatever name, to be permanent and safe must adopt a system and operate on a plan that the best insurance experience teaches as safe. The American Woodmen was from the beginning an adequate rate society. It gives the National Fraternal congress table of rates—a rate that is known to be adequate and safe. As a result of this wise policy the American Woodmen is on a safe and sound basis, with a legal reserve, and its valuation is the highest of any fraternal doing business among colored people. This society accepts both men and women in the same camp, and issues certificates from $250 to $2,000. In addition to the insurance, this society protects its members against sickness, accident, old age pensions and burial. The insurance department of Missouri approves of this society and every certificate is guaranteed. Insurance is business, whether given by a society or by a company. Business recognizes certain principles. It is not business to collect taxes, extra assessments and other fees in order to regular premiums. In the Woodmen, a member pays the same each month—never a tax of any kind. Nearly all of our secret societies have recently adopted the insurance feature as a permanent part of their organization. It has grown to such proportions that the colored secret HIGH SCHOOL EX BOARD OF EDUCATION LE H.

Nugent and William Volker—will the school and the entire public are by the Lincoln High School Orchestra New Lincoln High School Saxophone H OUR - - 3 O'CLOCK societies alone carry over half a billion dollars on the lives of men and women. Because of this tremendous business and its far reaching power, nearly every state in the Union has passed laws generally known as the "Mobile bill." Its aim is to make these insurance institutions as sound and safe as the old line companies. The salient features of this law require that societies carry a rate of premium sufficient to meet all present obligations immediately and accumulate a reserve capable of taking care of the future increased death rate. These rates are generally known as the National Fraternal Congress rates, and are based on a graduated system, charging according to age. All funds are required to be invested in gilt edge securities as recommended by the *commissioner of Insurance*. An annual valuation is the chief method of determining whether the business is being conducted along safe lines or not; also an annual examination by the Department of Banking and Insurance of all books and accounts. Some secret societies are known as fraternal benevolent—others as fraternal insurance. The latter have always complied with these laws. Such societies never resort to extra assessments of any kind. No grand lodge taxes or local taxes. Among the most conspicuous are the Woodmen of the World, Modern Woodmen of America, Bankers Union, Yeomen of America and American Woodmen. The American Woodmen is the only society operated by colored people that is offering true Woodcraft to our race along these safe and sound lines. Read this letter from Hon. John H. Upton, head of the valuing board of Colorado. Then read our folder No. 2 and if you are not in a position to become an American Woodman, at least rejoice that our people have the advantage of such an institution. June 9, 1916. Mr. L. H. Lightner, Supreme Clerk, American Woodmen, Denver, Colo. Dear Sir—In completing the valuat- ing of your certificates in force at the close of December 31, 1915, as required by the insurance laws. I find that you are seven and seventenths per cent in advance of the statutory requirement of ninety per cent. The American Woodmen, with its very low death rate of less than seven per thousand, is now in such condition as to meet every requirement of the most stringent of the present laws of every insurance department of the various states: .... I find that the phenomenal growth of the society and its most splendid accomplishments have been obtained by reason of the wisdom of your officers as exhibited in the management and conduct of affairs of the institution, and the fact that your membership is on an adequate rate basis, being that of the National Fraternal Congress. Your officers and members are to be congratulated on your showing, which is exceedingly commendable from every view point. I hope the present year will be as prosperous as the year 1915. (Signed) JOHN H. UPTON. Nobody Home in California The following is the now famous editorial from the Chicago Tribune that has stirred up such a tempest in California. Well, let em squirm: California is the state which every now and then causes the rest of the nation to wonder how the trouble it makes can be safely handled. California hates the Japanese. It offends and insults the Japanese. It pays no attention to the treaty obligations of the United States. Several times California in a stubborn and belligerent mood has almost put the alternative of war or humiliation up to the rest of the nation. Some day, when Japan is ready, a California offense will result in the seizure of the Philippines and Hawaii. California makes the trouble and expects the rest of the country to pro EXTENSION IN DAY OF EDUCATION meeting at the Lincoln o'clock. Other mem- D. M.

California is out junker state in all except willingness to strengthen the ability of the federal government to meet the trouble it may make and is perfectly willing to make. California ought to have given the Republican ticket a great majority. A state which demands the privilege of making trouble ought to be willing to meet it. It ought to be willing to take ordinary precautions against consequences. California now seems to be concerned chiefly for the right to bluster. The moral condition of some little rotten spot in the interior of the United States can be understood. But California presents a long coast line which it demands that the United States defend. It wants a Pacific navy. It seems to have voted for a pacific navy. How a state which when it is not scared to death itself is scaring the rest of the nation to death could have given even two votes in a precinct to the administration which maintains Josephus Daniels as schoolmaster of the American navy is a question beyond moral intelligence. By giving Wilson the vote it did. California, with its record and Wilson's record, presented itself as the champion boob state of the American republic. The only thing needed for the perfection of the irony, was that the workers who want Japs excluded, in order that American standards of comfort shall not be lowered, should have tried to deliver the state to the administration which has tried to break down national courage. California, which wants everything for itself, is inclined in the direction of an administration which blandly says that America demands nothing for itself that it does not demand for the rest of humanity. What a sweet vaporing of magnanimity for California to sunff up eagerly—California, which wants nothing more for itself than it wants for the Japanese! The state which has put the nation Turkey Before and after the Foot Ball Game and before the Valley Ball Game Thanksgiving Day. BIG SUNDAY DINNER Cafeteria Motto: "Only the Best." DR. J. E. MOORELAND on the edge of war several times kept it in suspense for forty-eight hours in this election, when the issue was one that should have been decided in this outpost state in two hours. Some day California may have a Japanese governor—for a while. The rest of the nation eventually will annul his commission, but he may be there for a while. If California gets its Japanese governor there may be men in California who will recall that in a time of national emergency they voted for the candidate of the party which wishes to be just as sweet to the rest of humanity as it is to California. One of Kipling's characters, a chap lain with a burr under his tongue quoted: "Quem Deus volt perdere pr-r-ius demenstat," which, translated means: "When people insist upon getting it in the neck they are first made dead from the neck up."

GEORGIA AGAIN A MOTHER ATTEMPTS to aid her child and is lynched. This piece of news flashed over the wires and brought a sickening chill to the heart of every human being that had a spark of humanity about them. It is needless to state that the scene was again laid in Georgia, the home of brutality and lawlessness. A planter was reprimanding a boy for neglecting his work, say the reports, when the mother interfered and the planter "grappled" with her, perhaps none too gently; the boy went to the aid of his mother and struck the planter with a piece of iron, killing him, for which crime, mother and son paid the penalty. What impression it made on the editor of the Augusta, Ga., Chronicle, is shown in the following strong article: "If ever the story of a lynching carried on the face of it utter condemnation and disgust for the 'mob' this one does. To repeat the story is to emphasize its cruelty and horrors—of a mother's not unnatural concern for her offspring; accounting for her 'interfering' while he was being 'reprimanded.' And the not unnatural act of the offspring in going to the mother's defense when the farmer 'grappled' with her. If, however, we abandon those discreet and diplomatic terms, and assume merely for the sake of argument, as well as in defense of our own common sense and experience—that the farmer was whipping the Negro boy, that the mother flew to his rescue and that the son in turn went to his mother's aid, we shall, in all probability have a better idea of what occurred. "And, perforce, we shall not fail to be impressed with the thought that the mother—black and ignorant and but a few generations removed from savage, as she was—merely betrayed the traits of the mother animal of all species. As for the offspring, well, he is a murderer, and the law will deal with him. Provided, of course, the mob gives the law a chance. But the thought that will not down is this: that the mother-animal, even among the brutes, has been famed in song and story for defense of her offspring. In every species in this instinct the sane, from the tiniest bird that flies to the most ferocious animal that roams. And with our own eyes we have all seen, time and gain, the same mother-trait displayed by the more domesticated animals around our homes. Nor have we withheld admiration for the instinct that moved them and the spirit of sacrifice and courage that sustained them—even unto death. "But it is for this—no more, no less, in its last analysis—that another Georgia mob' has put a black mother to death; a mother who followed a mother's natural instinct and 'interfered.' God help us, we seem to go from bad to worse. And small wonder; for where the mob spirit is permitted to prevail, without even so much as a general public protest, who can say where it will stop?" Even in the state where our clouds are thickest, it is gratifying to note here and there a glimpse of a silver lining may be caught in the shape of an editorial expression similar to the which appeared in The Chronicle. There always comes that day of reckoning, and Georgia cannot escape it.

The story begins when I first realized that the proper location of a successful business among my people is that place where most of the home-owning, steady and reliable people live. Vine street naturally appealed to me as the main thoroughfare of that class of customers whom I seek to serve. In 1910 when I entered business my sole line consisted of CLEANING, PRESSING and REPAIRING. After a while my customers began to call for patterns for new spring, fall and winter suits. This demand became so great that I next added TAILORING. At that time I took orders for suits, doing the measuring myself. I soon afterwards took up the study of tailoring and have since learned to do certain parts of work on suits in my own show, in exactly the same manner as the larger firms downtown. The addition of tailoring to my business brought me many new customers, some of whom have suits made regularly twice a year, observing that a neat, wellmade, tailor-to-fit garment feels better, wears longer and looks "just a little bit different" to the other fellow's clothes. Wasn't it only natural that these customers should soon be calling for ties, collars, shirts (Arrow Brand), underwear, hose supporters, belts, suspenders, socks, handkerchiefs and jewelry and other wearing apparel for men and boys? To accommodate my customers, therefore, I just had to add still another line— GENTS' FURNISHING GOODS. Now you have my story, six long years, read in only a very few minutes.

It was strange, inexplicable. For a day Miss Harraden moped around the house, looking—stricken is the word—as though she had received bad news that had crushed her. We found a letter on the mantel of her room. It was addressed to you." "Give it to me, quick!" ordered the young man breathlessly. "My wife has it. I'll get it for you, Mr. Merrill." The caller tore open the letter addressed to him in feverish haste. He staggered at the perusal of the incision like a strong man under a heavy blow. "It's impossible—incredible!" he gasped, and went from the spot bewildered, dazed, heartick. "Mr. Merrill," so the letter ran. "I have discovered your cruel and wicked duplicity. You will never see me argin. "ESTELLE HARRADEN." "ESTELLE HARRADEN." Alton Merrill had in his pocket the ring provided for his marriage. He had more than that. He had a pretty cottage furnished with every comfort and ornament at the edge of the town. For a year he had courted the pretty schoolteacher. The appointed wedding day was less than forty-eight hours ahead. What misadventure had suddenly, mysteriously blighted his fond dream of happiness? He could not tell and did not find out—just then. He recalled a rival in the past, Bruce Wyant, but he had not been seen in Brocton in six months. He expended time and money in searching for his missing love. It was in vain. Estelle Harraden had disappeared as effectually as though the earth had opened and had swallowed her up. So Alton Merrill, when he came to the sad conclusion that Estelle Harraden, from freak, fancy or plotting, was beyond recall, accepted his cross IMMIRISE CITY UNITES DRU "I Have Suffered Deeply for My Wicked Action." silently. He could never forget, never cease to love this woman. He kept the wedding ring in a little packet next to his heart. He went to a friend in the town and arranged that once a month the little cottage he had worked so hard to possess and furnish should be dusted and aired and repainted once a year. Then, with a heavy heart, Merrill started out once more on his wandering role of a traveling salesman. He applied himself to it and made money. One day, while seated in a railway station a haggard, shabbily dressed woman seated opposite to him came over to him. Her face bore the traces of former beauty, her manner showed a certain refinement. "You are: Mr. Alton Merrill," she spoke. "Am I right?" "That is my name," assented Merrill. "I saw you four years ago in Brocton and remembered you. Mr. Merrill, because it lies heavy on my conscience, because you are too good a man to go through the world saddened by the mystery of the disappearance of the woman you loved, I am about to make a confession. I was the cause of Miss Estelle Harraden leaving Brocton and you." "You!" exclaimed Merrill, incredulously. "At the behest of another, Bruce Wyant. That other was the man who swore that you should never wed the woman he coveted. He led me to pose as one you had already married and deserted. He furnished me with forged proofs to sustain the fiction. I did my work because he claimed he sought only revenge, because he promised to make me his wife if I would. He followed Miss Harraden, but she ignored him with scorn. He failed in his promise to me. He was killed in a quarrel in a gambling den and I—" she uttered a low plaintive moan. "I have suffered deeply for my wicked action." "You have no idea where Estelle—Miss Harraden went to?" eagerly inquired Merrill. "None," was the depressing reply. "You will curse me, but I had to relieve my mind," and, despite his gentle words of forgiveness, his proffers of money aid, the poor creature vanished in the throng. It was then that Merrill renewed his quest for Estelle. He advertised in the papers, he even employed detectives, but no trace was found of missing or hidden Estelle Harraden. His grief was the more polignant, however, now that he knew that a plot, a he had driven from his side the lovely girl and probably destroyed her faith in all mankind. He had a miraculous escape in a railroad wreck at a little town in Iowa and was compelled to remain there owing to a bruised limb for several days. It was the first day he had been able to walk readily since the accident, and he was turning a corner when an automobile came whizzing around the corner. A little child passed directly in its path. Merrill sprang forward. He drew the child aside in safety and held her in his arms as she sobbed with fright. "Don't cry, dearie," spoke Merrill soothingly. "But my books, look! they are all in the mud." "We will soon fix all that," promised Merrill encouragingly and he gathered up two books held by a strap, unloosened them and with his handkerchief rubbed off the damp dirt that had gathered on them. "You see, Miss Bartlett gave me the books," explained the little one. "She's taught me the alphabet and soon I can read words I'm to go to the school." "Here they are, all nice and clean," said Merrill, but in handing the books back to the child one of them chanced to come open. Merrill started, stared, his breath came quickly, for across the fly leaf was written in a dear familiar hand the name: "Estelle Harraden," and after it the date of the year she had disappeared. "Child! child!" he uttered eagerly, "you say a lady gave you the books. Where, who is she?" "Miss Bartlett? oh, everyone knows her," prattled the little one. "She is a music teacher." "Yes! yes!" "She lives with the school principal's family in that gray house—see it, just beyond the church." Alton Merrill tried to control himself. A clue at last—oh, surely! for Estelle had been a musician along with her other accomplishments. So abruptly did he leave the little child that she stood staring wonderingly after him. Merrill approached the gray house beyond the church. Could he be mistaken—was he cherishing false hopes? Oh, surely not! for as he approached the front steps of the house, sweet, mellow, reminiscent, the notes of a piano sent out an old song Estelle had often sung to him. The strains drew him up to the screen door. His range of vision took in a neat little parlor. At the instrument sat a glirish form. Her face was half turned towards him. His famished eyes feasted upon its rare beauty. "Estelle!" he spoke simply. She turned, her being atrillh. Her hand sought her throbbing breast as she recognized him. "I have found you after the years, and oh, heaven has opened to me," he uttered in a joyful, thrilling tone. She came slowly towards the door. Her eyes scanned his face. Truth, love, were there. Oh, she could not mistake it! Her eager hearing drew in the rapid word, he spoke, a voice as from a lost paradise. It was she who pushed open the screen door. It was she who reached forth her arms towards him with the weary, yet heartsome cry. "Oh, why did I ever doubt you?" "It matters not," he spoke, for love, happiness have come back to us—after the years!" Smithsonian Institution The first great scientific institute in America, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, was founded 70 years ago. James Lewis Macle Smithson, who bequeathed the funds for the founding of the institution, was a natural son of the third duke of Northumberland. He was a distinguished scientist and freethinking philosopher, and on his death in 1829 left his fortune of about $590,000 to his nephew, with the proviso that if his heir died without issue the money was to go to the United States government and to be used in establishing an institution for the increase and diffusion of knowledge. His nephew died in 1835 without heirs, and the property accordingly came into possession of the government. The institution was formally organized on August 8, 1846, and placed under the control of a board of trustees, consisting of the president and vice president of the United States, the cabinet members, the chief justice of the Supreme court, and other officials. The Smithsonian institution has played an important part in the scientific researches of the last half century, and its publications have added vastly to human knowledge. The remains of James Smithson, buried at Genoa, were brought to America in 1904 and buried on the institution's grounds. Women's Speeches. I have never heard a woman make a really bad speech; on the other hand, when I think of the men I have heard on platforms, at dinner tables in the pulpit a dumb feeling of despair overtakes me, especially when I think of the sermons that are listened to every Sunday—which, indeed, the majority of our population refuses nowadays to listen to. Something like 100,000 men preach every Sunday. Many of them ought never to speak in public at all. There are not, in fact, enough men to go around. We compel tens of thousands of men, devoid of the gift of eloquence, to pour themselves out two or three times a week to the huge detriment of religion, because we will not allow an equal number of women to use their beautiful gifts—and woman's gift of speech has a peculiar quality and power, a special grace, and a point of view different from a man's. It is as if we refused to have any but bass and tenor voices in the church music and filled our choirs up with men who could not sing in tune rather than use the loveliest soprano voice.—Manchester (England) Guardian. Polite Boy "I wonder which of us will die first!" said a little boy pensively to his sister. "You will," said the little girl briskly, "'cos you are the eldest." "No," answered her brother, not anxious for the privilege. "Ladies first!"—London Answers. THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 18. 1916 In Woman's Realm That the One-Piece Frock Has Attracted Popularity Is Evident—Has Been Well Named the "Dressmakers' Dress" — With Proper Accessories It Is Appropriate for Any Occasion —Bags of Every Form and Material Are in Order. A DRESSMAKERS' DRESS, WITH ACCESSORIES. 00 BAGS FOR SHOPPING AND OTHER PURPOSES The one-piece frock gains steadily in importance and threatens to displace the formal tailored suit in fashionable wardrobes. This is the day of the dressmakers' dress, and every establishment of authority is designing models for morning as well as afternoon wear. Perhaps all the tailors who devoted time to women's suits in Paris are on the fighting line, and the mak- DRESSMAKERS' DRESS ing of clothes fails to the lot of women, and therefore the dressmakers' dress has become the vogue. In climates that permit, it is worn with fur neckpiece and muff for the street. Where the weather is cooler a separate coat, long and warm, covers the one-piece frock. An afternoon gown of exceptional beauty and elegance is shown here. It is a combination of chiffon velvet, georgette crepe, and satin. The skirt has an overdrape and is set on to a deep plaited yoke of the crepe. A hand-embroidered pattern in leaves is applied to the velvet and crepe where they are joined. The bodice and sleeves of crepe are posed over a sleeveless BAGS FOR SHOPPING under-bodice of satin. The fullness in the sleeves is gathered into a band of velvet about the wrist, to which embroidery is applied. This forms a soft frill about the hands. The embroidery appears again across the crepe bodice, and it is the touch of distinction which places this gown in the front rank of things fashionable. It is done with heavy silk thread in long stitches, and is like the gown in color. A frock of this kind, worn with a fur neckpiece and smart velvet hat, is equal to the requirements of any afternoon function. It may be made of blue velvet and worn over a gray underskirt. In the costume pictured the shoes are black with gray tops. There are bags for everything, but principally there is the fancy bag of silk or velvet for shopping. Besides these kinds, the showier bags of beadwork and those crocheted of heavy silk thread and decorated with beads are elegant luxuries for those who have time and money to put into the making of them. Shopping bags are of moderate size Most Fashionable Color. A group of young girls went up to a Frenchman who has been lecturing on fashion recently in New York. He had invited women to ask questions and offered to give advice in regard to dress and style. One of the young girls eagerly demanded, "What is the fashionable color, monsieur, this winter?" "The fashionable color, madam?" repeated the man with a blank expression. "Yes, I want to dress in the most fashionable color." A smile overspread his face and he hastened to say, "For you, madam, and most of them of the same shape as the silk crocheted bag shown in the picture. Usually they are closed with drawstrings of heavy satin ribbon, but mountings like that pictured in the second bag are also used, as well as the convenient "gate" fastening. Faille and more silk, brocade, and velvet are the materials favored for SS, WITH ACCESSORIES. shopping bags, with black velvet far in the lead. All are decorated with steel beads, and prices ascend as the bandwork grows elaborate. They range between five and twenty-five dollars for really handsome bags, but those entirely of colored bandwork mount on up to a hundred dollars. There are less expensive bags made of taffeta or faille silk and decorated with narrow plaitings of the silk. These are usually in colors and changeable effects. But the handsomest bags are conceded to be those of velvet wrought with steel beads and having bead fringes or tassels. Many women make them for themselves, and they are not in the least difficult for G AND OTHER PURPOSES the average needlewoman. With the price of handwork eliminated, they come within reach of the limited income. Bags make an easy solution of the holiday gift problem. They are the one safest choice. Julia Bottomley Colored Vests With Suits. The long undervest of a bright contrasting color and material to the tailored suit is seen in the new winter models from several of the Paris houses. This vest shows when the coat is opened. When the coat is closed the suit looks like a morning or afternoon simple tailored suit. When it is opened one gimpses the bright color of the satin, which is often adorned with embroidery. These vests are copied after Louis XV and Louis XV1 models generally. I would suggest the fashionable color is blue; it will always be blue for you until your hair is silver, and then it will be mauve. The only fashionable color for any woman is the color which best becomes her—is it not so? New Marabou Muffs Melon muffs of marabou are very much used now. In one of the New York shops they come in shaded smoke tones and in Virginia brown, the price is $4.98. Neckpieces, made like capes, are $6.98. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS --- The Negro Baptist general missionary and educational convention held its forty-fifth annual session at Houston, Tex. Rev. L. K. Williams, in calling the convention to order, spoke of the opportunities in the South for the Negro, and while he had been called to Chicago to pastor the Olivet Baptist church, one of the largest Negro congregations in the United States, his heart would remain with his people down there. "If I am anything at all in this world," said Doctor Williams, "I owe it to the South, especially to Texas. It was here where I got my training, and it was in this state where I have put my best efforts. It was my work in Texas which attracted the attention of my people in Chicago." A feature was a sermon by Rev. L. M. Leonard of Bastrop. "As ye go preach the kingdom of heaven is at hand," were the words of the text used. The speaker declared that the minister of the gospel occupied the highest calling on earth, even greater than that of being president of the United States. Following the sermon, Rev. Dr. F. L. Lights made an appeal for foreign missions. He said that the Negro with 50 years of freedom should never forget his native land. He spoke in words of praise of Dr. L. G. Jordan, foreign missionary secretary of the National Baptist convention. "My eyes have been opened, and I will return home with a better conception of the South," said S. A. Griffin, deacon from Olivet Baptist church, Chicago, Ill., who accompanied Dr. L. K. Williams. "This is my first trip to the South, and I was surprised to find such a friendly relation existing between the races. When I picked up the paper this morning and saw what was said about your convention, I could hardly believe myself. This is indeed a wonderful country." Rev. J. B. Green, D. D., of Shreveport, La., field secretary of the National Baptist convention, made a short talk. He referred to the work of the convention last September in Savannah, Ga., which was attended by several thousand representative Negroes from all parts of the country." "The Negro is not sitting down today waiting, but he is practicing the doctrine of self-help," said Doctor Green, "and in this way he is getting the help from others." Prof. M. M. Rodgers, secretary of the convention and auditor of the National Baptist convention, the first layman to hold the position, made a few remarks. He said that the two million and a half Negro Baptists were more determined than ever before and would be heard from in this country—in the whole world.—Houston Post. The annual conference of church workers among colored people was held at Philadelphia last month. Bishops Rhinelander and Garland were present and delivered addresses. That of Bishop Garland provoked intense enthusiasm, because of his unqualified endorsement of the contention of the conference with respect to the racial episcopate. The conference was marked by a spirit of hopefulness and intense interest throughout; but the discussion which elicited the most earnest attention was that concerning the racial episcopate. The feeling of the conference was distinctly in favor of the proposal for a missionary jurisdiction To help Negro boys become practical farmers, and to assist Negro girls to become competent housewives, the United States department of agriculture, in co-operation with the state colleges, is organizing throughout the South Farm Makers' clubs for rural Negro children. This activity, begun experimentally last year by the office of extension work, South, has grown rapidly, and already is thoroughly organized in Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, and Mississippi. The work also is being carried on to some extent in each of the other southern states. The chief object of these clubs is to encourage Negro farmers, particularly in the cotton sections, to raise some food instead of devoting their entire attention to a single crop. In the clubs for boys the typical plan is to encourage and help the members to use an acre, one-half of which is devoted to corn, one-fourth to potatoes, and one-fourth to peanuts. This teaches a desirable rotation, and at the same time furnishes three food products for home consumption, and two that are useful The proper meaning of the word "posset," frequently used in Lancashire, is a drink taken before going to bed. Originally it was milk curdled with wine, and comes from the Latin "posca," meaning a drink made with vinegar and water. As a result of the growing shortage of labor of every kind in Canada, the regulations governing the maximum age of candidates for admission to the Dominion civil service have been dropped. The Hands and the Mind. The hands and the intellect are the chief distinguishing marks between the human and the beast. The human intellect conceives great things, but there must be human hands to execute them. The connection between intellect and hands has been a subject of much study, with little definite conclusion. Many have attacked the question of whether or not the hands have an instinct whereby they do things without the intellect. A justified conclusion is that, if the hands do not have an in with a Negro bishop, and this found expression in the spontaneous subscription from the floor of the house of a considerable sum to send two priests to St. Louis, the Rev. Dr. George F. Bragg and the Rev. James K. Satterwhite, as official representatives bearing a memorial to general convention and also a copy of the sermon preached by the Rev. E. W. Daniel. In the course of the discussion a strong feeling of dissatisfaction was generally manifested over the position taken at the headquarters of the board of missions toward work among colored people. This was especially expressed in view of the proposal to send a white bishop to Liberia to fill the place of the late Bishop Ferguson. The conference adopted a firm protest against this policy, which was felt to be unwise in view of the future welfare of the mission. For a number of years the conference has urged upon the board of missions the extreme importance of a field secretary, to inspire and help the lonely workers in the missionary field. At this session a commission was constituted, to raise from the colored clergy and congregations a third or one half of the requisite stipend of such officer, and appeal to the Board of missions to supply the remaining portion.—The Laying Church The first president of the American Colonization society, which founded the republic of Liberia, on the west coast of Africa, was Bushrod Washington, who was born in Virginia 157 years ago. In 1759, and who was a nephew of George Washington. He served as a private soldier in the Revolution, and afterward was elevated to the United States Supreme court. While himself an owner of many slaves, he was deeply interested in the movement for restoring the Africans in America to their native continent. He was one of the pioneers in the organization of the American Colonization society, which was launched just a century ago, in the latter part of 1816. Henry Clay, John Randolph and other men of prominence were also prominent in the movement. In 1820 the society sent 38 Negroes back to Africa in a government vessel, and that year a constitution for the colony, which was named Liberia, was adopted. The colony continued to be in the charge of agents and governors appointed by the society until 1847, when its rights were voluntarily surrendered and the independence of Liberia was proclaimed and was recognized by the United States, Great Britain and France. Dr. Edward P. Jones of Vicksburg, Miss., president of the National Baptist convention of America, was the principal speaker at the session of the Colored Baptist state convention held in a tent at Waverly street, Houston Heights, Houston, Tex. His subject was "The Outlook of the Negro Race and How to Make It Brighter." He said, among other things: "No race ever had larger and more favorable opportunities for doing good, especially in the way of building itself up and making a plausible record than the Negro race. The eyes of the world are upon us, to see what there is in us and for what we stand. Don't wander all over America looking for a good place to locate. Go where you please, there is no place in the world where the Negro has better opportunities to make something of himself than here in this Southland." for cattle or hogs. The girl members of these clubs receive practical instruction in gardening, cooking and housekeeping. According to reports the county superintendents of schools and teachers of Negro elementary schools are supporting the work actively, and state agricultural colleges and the technical schools established for the race are active co-operators in the larger phases of the work. The colored Young Women's Christian association of Houston, Tex., is to begin a campaign to secure better accommodations, having outgrown its present quarters. Mrs. Stansbury Boyce, who succeeded Mrs. Hettie G. Francis as president of the local branch, is in charge of the movement. Because of the fact that the association has been devoting most of its energies to looking after those girls who were in need of help, the welfare of the more fortunate girls has been to some extent neglected. It is planned to open more dormitories and clubrooms and to form classes in gymnastics. The Norwegian freighter Tabor, for Archangel, Russia, had on board 200, 000 miles of binder twine, enough to lay along her course 16 times, or enough to tie up the earth at the equator eight times. In the same ship was sent $1,000,000 worth of agricultural equipment, consisting of 800 reapers, 800 binders and 800 horse rakes. By a loan to the government of $16, 000,000 at 8 per cent, secured on taxes, the Bank of England started operations in 1694. stinct, they have an uncanny and very direct contact with the brain which works so unexpectedly that the hands seem to have an instinct for doing things without being told to do so. Stenographers will tell you that they become confused when they concentrate their minds upon the keyboard of the typewriter, but when they let the hands work automatically they can do their work much faster. "A penny for your thoughts." "Ah! I see you think they are cents-ible." WITH STALE BREAD MANY DISHES MAY BE PREPARED FROM REMNANTS. Can Be Put to Excellent Use for Stuffing and Meat Frying—Bread Custard Pudding is Good— Jelly for Invalids. Of all the left-over remnants of food from the kitchen bread is the most common, perhaps, and many pieces are daily thrown away which a little thought would turn to excellent use. If the left-over pieces are not utilized the same day, an excellent plan is to wrap them in pieces of waxed paper and store them in a stone jar. They will keep well for a week in this way. Dried Crumbs for Stuffing and Meat Frying—Put the crusts and small pieces in a baking pan and dry in the oven without burning. They may then be put through the food chopper and stored in clean Mason jars until wanted. They may be used as a basis for meat croquettes, poultry stuffing and other things. French toast may be made from the whole slices of left-over bread. It is an excellent luncheon pick-up dish. Beut an egg and add a little milk. Dip the slices of bread in this and fry a nice brown in hot drippings. Serve with butter, jelly or marinade. Bread Custard Pudding—Cut the bread in dalmity shapes and butter liberally. Make a plain custard of eggs, milk and sugar. Put in baking dish and float the buttered bread on top. Sprinkle with grated nutmeg and bake in a quick oven until brown. This is excellent. To make croutons for the various soups so much relished in season, cut the bread in cubes and fry in butter or dripping just before serving with the soup. Add five or six to each plate of soup. These are delicious with almost any soup. Bread Jelly for Invalids.—Scald the stale bread freed from crusts. Mash to a paste until of mushlike consistency. Add a little sugar and flavoring, mold, chill and serve with cream. Sterilized bread crumbs are especially valuable for the young children in the household. A jar should be kept filled with these. They may be heated when wanted and sprinkled in soft eggs, soups, milk, fruit juices and, indeed, anything eaten by very young children where fresh bread is often positively dangerous. Dried bread is also valuable for mixing with various other foods for feeding the household pets. Peach Dumplings. Mix and sift two cupfuls of flour, one teaspoonful of baking powder, one-half teaspoonful of salt and one-half teaspoonful of sugar. Work into this two teaspoonfuls of lard. Mix with three-quarters cupful of ice water. Have all of the ingredients very cold, mix quickly, handling as little as possible, and roll out thin. Cut the dough into pieces just large enough to cover one-half of a preserved peach, roll them up and bake in a quick oven. Serve with hard sauce and the sugar from the preserved peaches. Apple Chutney. Twelve sour apples, one mild onion, three peppers, one red, one cupful of chopped raisins, one half cupful currant jelly, two cupfuls of sugar, juice of four lemons, one tablespoonful of ground ginger, one-quarter teaspoonful of cayenne, one tablespoonful of salt and one pint of cider vinegar. Chop the apples, onions and peppers very fine, add the vinegar and jelly and let simmer one hour, stirring constantly. Store as canned fruit. Stewed Kidneys. Remove the fat and center from six kidneys and soak in cold water. Slice, season with salt and pepper, roll in flour and saute in butter. Add to the fat in the pan one tablespoonful of butter and two tablespoonfuls of flour; brown, and add three-quarters cupful of stock. Season with salt, pepper, onion juice and table sauce and pour over the kidneys. American Cream Half box gelatin, one quart milk. Set on back of stove to heat gradually. Boll a minute or two. Take off stove and stir in yolks of four eggs well beaten with three tablespoonfuls sugar. Then add whites, well beaten with three tablespoonfuls sugar and two tablespoonfuls vanilla. Put in dish ready for table. Serve next day with cream. For Bamboo Articles A soft rag saturated with solution of equal parts of spirits of camphor and linseed oil is a handy thing to keep around the house. It is the best thing you can get to rub down bamboo furniture with, for it loosens the fiber and makes the wood more elastic. For this reason it will not crack when exposed to changes of temperature. Combination Cake One-third cupful of butter, one cupful granulated sugar, three small eggs, one-eighth cupful coffee, one and one-half cupful flour, two level teaspoonfuls salt, one cupful of dates, cut small, one cupful of chopped English walnuts. Marshmallow frosting is nice if you like it. Developing Interest in Study Developing interest in study. The conscious student must fight off distracting thoughts and fatigue. When he becomes interested in his study, however, the subconscious brain takes hold. The best ways to develop interest are by collateral reading, original thought on the subject and conversation with those who are interested. To Pick Up Broken Glass. Even the smallest pieces of broken glass can be easily picked up with a bit of wet absorbent cotton, which can then be destroyed by burning. To Remove Fruit Stains. To Remove Fruit Stains. To remove fruit stains from the hands wash in cold water dry slightly and then hold them over a lighted match.

Brothers Arthur Capper and Hiram Johnson may have played the game on the square, but we'd like to examine their sleeves before they sit in the next deal. Just enough Negroes voted for Gardner to yield him the slight plurality which carries him into the office of governor. Of course this will be remembered when instructions are given to the new police commissioners of St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph. Northern and western states shift their political alliances from time to time, but the solid south never changes, which indicates that the solid south never thinks. Neither party wastes time by sending orators or literature to that benighted section because it would be of no use to either side. The south still votes for Jeff Davis and against the "Niggers," regardless of other issues. The Editor received a letter from Bro. Edw. W. Levy of St. Louis, Mo., yesterday announcing the death of Bro. Robt. Branham, one of the oldest members of Prince Hall Lodge No. 1, and one of the organizers of the Grand Lodge of Masons of Missouri. Bro. Branham was in attendance on the Grand Lodge in this city last August and enjoyed his visit immensely and was very popular with the young men of the Grand Lodge. Peace to his ashes. STERN JUSTICE LOOKS INTO THE VOTE. The activities of the department of justice in hustling agents and investigators into states which have been slow in making reports of the vote are activities of abstract justice. If these agents and investigators went first into doubtful states from which the returns seemed to indicate that Mr. Wilson was losing, that certainly was merely because it was easier to reach them. The activity indicates an intense—a passionate—desire that all freemen shall vote and have their ballots properly counted. Presently the investigators will be in the southern states to ascertain if everything has been conducted there in accordance with the privileges guaranteed by the constitution of the United Sates. Such is the love for humanity which pervades Washington that if it were learned that a single citizen of the United States, even a black citizen, had not been allowed to vote, all the officials and agents and investigators of the department of justice would resign in humiliation and President Wilson would refuse to accept an office so given him.—Chicago Tribune.

HUBBELL, & SRS Ak eh DR. THEO. SMITH Possibly no man stands higher in the esteem and regard in which he is held by those who know him as a business man, a gentleman and a real philanthropist than does Dr. Theodore Smith, the well known druggist, whose place of business is 1801 East 18th street. While Dr. Smith is modest and unassuming in his philanthropy, yet he is continually doing something that demonstrates his largeness of heart and his deep concern for his people. He maintained for several years a free clinic for the deserving poor. He sends his check to a nuthber of ministers of the city annually to assist them in thelr work. 'He sends kindling and coal to a number of poor and needy families and neighbors when it is bitterly cold. He was the first man to send his check to Allen chapel in their recent Men's rally. He is the constant contributor to the Old Folks’ and Orphans’ home, He has been one of the most loyal and consis: tent supporters of Negro newspapers. He is a member of Amos Johnson lodge ‘of Free Masons and stands high in business and social circles. He is a member of the Ivanhoe club, the leading social organization of the city, and, to epitomize, he is a booster for all good things and a knocker for all that’s bad. ‘The Sun is proud of the splendid record made by Dr. Theodore Smith in the years he has resided in our community.

Slade, chief of the division. There is nothing under the sun in the way of facts or figures that people do not come there for, and they generally find what they want. Newspaper files dating back 50 or 75 years can be produced in a minute or two, and the history of those periods can be studied with greater detail than is afforded in any other conceivable kind of literary production.

He says the new weapon eliminates the detonation and smoke which make guns easily discoverable by aeroplanes in the European war. He explains that compressed air is used to discharge the projectiles, which will have a greater range and penetrating power than any present powder-driven shell. Twenty to thirty miles is the estimated range. Discharge will be caused by the combined use of liquid air and timers. The shell will be constructed in 8, 10, 12 and 14 inch sizes and they will be somewhat similar to shells new in use. somewhat sim Mr. Gau is the son of Dr. H. F.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 18, 1916 TWO WAYS OF SAVING MONEY English Method of Handling Bread at the Table Is Worth Consideration —Home Baking. In most English homes it is the custom to put the loaf of bread on the table to be cut as needed, and every family has its more or less handsomely carved bread board, matching the handle of the good English steel bread knife. Where this usage prevails, few if any odd bits of bread find their way back into the bread box or jar to be overlooked, perchance, until they are moldy themselves and have contaminated the rest of the contents. Is not this a practice worth considering, and perhaps adopting, in many a home today, when the outcry at the rise in the bakers' prices is so general and so loud? An even more effective economy is wrought whenever the housewife undertakes to bake her own bread instead of buying the product at the great bakeries. Not only will each loaf she makes cost distinctly less than she has paid for the same weight, but if she uses a good flour, and especially entire wheat flour, the amount of nutrition will be incomparably greater than they have enjoyed before. Home baking need have no terrors for any woman of average intelligence, especially if she can afford one of the patent bread kneaders which reduce both time and effort to a very moderate amount. FOR COMFORT IN KITCHEN Cabinet That Can Be Moved Should Be Made During the Winter for Use in Summer. How many times during the summer we would like to move our work into the breeze when the wind changes. But the cabinet can't be moved easily, so we work on in the same old place. Then why not a "cabinet on castors"? It can be moved to any place desired. This one is easily constructed and has only one drawer and two sliding shelves or kneeding boards. The Useful Cabinet. boards when pulled out make a handy table at each elbow, and when not in use can be pushed back out of the way. The top is zinc-covered. The drawer is used for paring knives, mixing spoons and such. With a stool tall enough to allow one's elbows to come above the table the cabinet is ready. Oh, no! Be sure to put on the foot rest. That is one of the main features of this little work table. Here one can "drop down" to pare potatoes, apples, etc., and have plenty of room for apple peelers and food choppers.—Mrs. R. L. Standiford in Farm Progress. New Apple Salad. Beat one-half cupful of double cream, a tablespoonful of lemon juice and one-quarter spoonful of salt until firm throughout. Cook two apples, cored and pared, in a sip, (two or three cloves or an inch of cinnamon bark may be added) and set them aside to become thoroughly chilled. Chop fine four maraschino or candied cherries and eight or ten pecan nuts or blanched almonds. Carefully wash three small heads of tender lettuce, first removing the ragged outer leaves and cutting the stalks that the heads may stand. Dispose the heads on individual plates with an apple in the center of each. Mix the cherries and put through the prepared cream and turn it over the apples. Creamed Ham. Do you wish something for luncheon, a dessert or something more hearty? This is very nice: Melt one and a half tablespoonfuls butter and stir in one and a half tablespoonfuls flour and blend together, then add slowly one and a half cupfuls of sweet milk and stir until smooth. Season with a little pepper and add one cupful of ham chopped fine and four tablepoonfuls grated cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and serve it spread on slices of toasted bread. Baked Peas and Eggs Take one can of peas, three hard-boiled eggs (sliced). Arrange in alternate layers with the peas in a moderately deep baking dish. Cover with a thin white sauce, made with two tablespoonfuls butter, one and a half tablespoonfuls of flour, one cupful scaled milk, a little salt and a dash of pepper, spread with fine cracker crumbs and dots of butter; brown in a quick oven. Excellent as a supper or luncheon dish, served with cold meat and baked potatoes. Turnip Scallops. Mince beaf, mutton, duck or game very fine; add chopped onions and season to taste and a little gravy. Fill scallop shells or small cups three-quarters full and fill up with mashed turnip that has been nicely seasoned. Spread tops with soft butter and bake until nicely browned. Peach Compote. Three pounds of peaches freed from skin and stones, three pounds of sugar, two chopped oranges and one pound of raisins. Put all on the stove and cook until of the thickness desired. When ready to put in the jars add one pound of English walnuts chopped rather fine. To Clean Windows Wash the glass with water to which a little ammonia has been added, and polish with a chamois which has been dipped in water and wrung as dry as possible. A Seller. "Are you reading a best seller?" "You might call it that. It is a prospectus and has about succeeded in selling me a bunch of mining stock." WEDDING GOWN MADE UP IN WHITE BRIDAL SATIN. Exact Copy of First Empire Frock, Introduced by the Empress Josephine—Silver-Thread Embroidery Adds to Its Richness. Both the Greclan and first empire styles are approved by Dame Fashion for the 1916-17 season. So different are the lines expressed by these two "pee THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Grecian and Empire Close of Kin. iriods" that the fact that they are actually close of kin, branches of the same family tree, is not generally recognized. The Empress Josephine, wife of the great Napoleon, was during the days of her youth and first beauty absolutely clothes mad. She had a mania for beautiful fabrics and garments of all kinds that were different. On one occasion she went to Greece, and in the classic Grecian costume she immediately saw possibilities. At that time, fashion history intimates Josephine had begun to "put on flesh." She took the idea of the classic Greek dress home with her, and adapted the long, graceful falling draperies to her own figure. The girdling of a Grecian robe does not suggest a waistline, Josephine added and emphasized this, and made it a high waist at that, revealing the bust curves. She "reefed" the skirt, making it tight and also figure revealing. Thus was the first empire style of waistline born. Many of the first empire gowns have severely plain, tight skirts. Others Shows Russian Influence. Copyright Ludwig & Wolfgang This charming dress, the very latest word in fashion, consists of a blue serge surpile over an underdress of gray charmeuse, and is embroidered in gray and gold silk braid in Russian designs.

But not long ago I visited a home in which this problem was admirably solved, writes M. E. Brooks in the Chicago Herald. In the largest chamber of the house two closets had been built on opposite sides of the room intended for two occupants. This was excellent, so far as it went, but the dominating feature of the arrangement was a double dresser affair made of two plain enameled chests of drawers, a broad board and a long mirror. The board was bracketed to the wall like a shelf, about half-way up between the two chests, and the mirror hung just above it. This gave a very good-looking as well as a very convenient dressing table, in which the belongings of each occupant might be kept separate. As the house was without a bath, two small, inexpensive washstands of white enamel were placed in opposite corners. Twin beds also were installed, so there was no excuse of fric- have tunics and straight draperies or trains. Possibly the upper arm of the Empress Josephine had lost its beautiful shoulder line, and the short puffed sleeve of the first empire was added to the newly evolved style because of this fact. In any event, first-empire styles are adopted cousins, if not actual blood relations, of the classic Greek dress, and the Empress Josephine is credited with this family intermingling. The sketch gives a suggestion for a Grecian style wedding gown. Ivory white bridal satin is used with a beautiful Grecian pattern embroidery done in silver thread on the tunic, bodice and train. The sleeves are of georgette, as obviously the sleeveless gown of the pure Grecian period would hardly be advised for a twentieth century bride. The small sketch is an exact line-for-line copy of a first empire frock. In the high and clearly defined waistline one may trace the handwork of the Empress Josephine, as in her addition and subtraction methods of style designing she transformed a Grecian costume into one that would go down in history as of first empire. To Hold Ferns or Plants. Those of our readers who have not tried their hands at making pretty little rustic baskets for ferns or plants will find it amusing and interesting work and very easy to do. These baskets can be made in any size; they are composed of a number of short twigs of wood left in their natural state with the bark upon them. To make the bottom of the basket, nail four twigs together in the manner shown in diagram A. Then near each end of the lower twigs make holes with a sharp bradawl and from underneath run wires through, and upon these wires thread two more twigs, with the result shown in diagram B. Further twigs, with holes made through each end, are added, and in that way the sides of the basket are built up. After this has been accomplished, the ends of the wires are carried above the Rustic Fern Basket. basket and twisted together into a loop by which the whole thing may be hung up. A glance at the sketch will explain this, and the basket can be made very bright and pretty by covering the twigs with gold paint. Beads Used in Embroidery. The new embroidery is done in beads and it is really far more interesting than ordinary embroidery or other fancy work. For the beads are full of color, and, what is more, bead embroidery progresses so rapidly that there is no danger of becoming impatient for results. Bead embroidery can be done on bags or on frocks or on hats—and in all these guises it is effective. When you go to a shop to buy beads for embroidering you may possibly think you have landed in an apothecary shop, for there the beads will be, ranged in neat rows in small pill bottles—just like so many small pink and blue and green and yellow and purple pills, all packed into tiny bottles. So you will buy bottles of pills for embroidering—as many bottlefuls as you wish, of course, for the particular design you have in mind. And with your workbag filled with bead bottles you can go about the design you wish to carry out. Beaded bags are perhaps the most interesting work for a beginner, for in a really short time you can work out an effective design for a silk bag. When you get a little more expert you can bead velvet bags, and perhaps the next thing will be a beaded band for a hat. If you have much daring, you might try to make a beaded landscape for a hat band, for such a band appears on a very smart hat model. Then you can get to work on a beaded embroidery design for a frock of serge or velvet or silk, and before you know it you will be an expert bead embroidery worker.

This idea is also very good in small houses, where the guest room is an impossibility. Struggles for Supremacy. There are several struggles going on in the world of dress. One has to do with the elimination of the short, faring skirt for evening wear and the substitution of the tight, clinging skirt that graduates into a long train at the back. Another struggle is between the elimination of the Anglo-Saxon uniform known as the coat suit and the substitution of the one-piece frock topped by a splendid overcoat. No matter where you go among the dressmakers and the shop these struggles are presented to you for individual settlement. However, the best guess in fashion and in the art of dressing is to have a plain mannish coat suit for the street, with a simple blouse and whatever fun around the neck one can afford, and a top coat of some kind that can be worn over a thin one-piece frock. INTERESTING ITEMS FROM THE CITIES Baltimore Has Rooster That Is Expert Mouser B ALTMORE.—All the commission houses in the Pratt street vicinity find it necessary to keep a cat or two to keep down the mice which are brought up from the country in the produce shipments. Down at the Rappahannock exchange, they have found a substitute in a big Plymouth Rock rooster, which the employees of the exchange are willing to pit against any cat in the city as a mouser. Dick, as the rooster is called, has the freedom of the exchange and holds a record of 19 mice killed in one hour. Not only does Dick kill the mice, but he swallows them head first. Dick's mousing abilities were discovered accidentally. He came up from the Rappahannock river in a shipment of chickens about a year ago and, as he on the trip badly, was taken out of the coop and threw well or die.

She put both aside, drew a vell ‘over the old-fashioned woolen hood and tucked up her dress closely, put- ‘tng the long antiquated clonk over it. “I suppose you know best, grandma,” she sighed, “but oh, dear, if I should meet any of my friends!” “They wouldn't know you." “Well, good-by.

It was stated publicly the other day by Henry Morgenthau, who as chairman of the Demoeratle finance committee, was a sort of financial over- lord of this end of the game for the Democrats, that the Irreductble minimum of Demoeratte needs this year had been placed at $1,500,000.

And at a still later gathering of Re- publicans to discuss this question certain gentle- men of great political experience Informed young Mr. Bliss that the high cost of campalgns would probably make it necessary this year to spend close to $2,000,000 before November 7, ‘The reason why it costs more now to run a campaign is because everything 1s higher. ‘The cost of printing has tripled, for one thing, cam- paign buttons cost twice as much, rallroad fares fare higher.

My wife was not at home that efternoon and knew nothing about the turkey until I happened to mention it, at about nine o'clock in the evening. ‘Then I went out and lifted it off the nall and brought It In to exhibit It. We both called out in astonishment as we gazed at It. About a teacupful of paris green had been poured onto its Inside and the outside of the bird was turning green In spots.” “Good gracious! But what had your smart cook done?” exclatmed the tn- surance man, “Well we put It up to her, and she explained : “‘You see, Mr. Brown, you sald it was to hang outdoors ail night. It would most certainly be stolen by some one, and I fixed it so that it would make the thief mighty {ll when he hud devoured tt!" Mietasy ef the Dehile. By a curious horticultural irony the dahlia, which has become the popular idol of our early autumn flower shows, possesses a sadly prosaic history, the London Chronicle remarks. It has been developed from the Mexican tu- bers introduced about one hundred and thirty years ago by the Swedish bot- anist, Doctor Dahl, for the purely commercial purpose of supplanting or supplementing the potato, They did not “catch on,” and the dahlia dish soon disappeared from British dinner tables, but our gardeners at once saw the latent posslbilities of the flower, from which they have evolved the double dahlia and other delightful floral fantasies. ‘Thus the dablla has exactly reversed the fate of the red clover, which came to us in the guise jot a garden flower but was found to make fine forage. ‘The tubers of the dahlia, too acrid for our taste, are still exten in some parts of France, And Frequently Gets tt. “De man dat worries foh fear he's doin’ too much work,” sald Uncle Eben, ‘Ig mighty lable to keep, wantin’ mo’ ‘an’ mo’ time off to do his worryin’ in,” AS; oe THE KANSAS x AY SUN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1916 alone when everybody was hard up. Mr. Bliss vatseds about. half a million. Under the Bliss plan local committees were formed in every town in the country. ‘These committees did the work of collecting the $10 subscriptions. To get these committees Mr, Bliss made up the biggest mailing list ever seen, He corresponded with every state chalrman snd through these oflicials got the county chairmen to draw up lists of possible contribntors, When the lists were turned In appeals were made direct to those on the lists, ‘The result Is that shortly hefore election Mr. Bliss was getting frequently 4s much as $4,000 in a single day's mall, Of course, under this plan contributions were not limited to $10, nor were contributions of a smaller amount spurned, All were welcomed, but {t required $10 at least to become enrolled as a sustaining member, Whatever may have heen the success achieved by Mr. Bliss, there were persons around Demo- eratic headquarters In New York, Just around the corner from the Republican shop, who were will- ing to bet that Mr. Marsh would bent Mr. Bliss to a frazzle in collecting money from the real “peepul.” Out In Town, Mr. Marsh's home state, he has « record of being one of the greatest money-ralsers ever seen, ‘The Marsh plan, soon In full swing, was noth- Ing more than the good old “every-member-can- vass" scheme which the churches out In Towa re- sort to when they are falling behind in current expenses or want to make a bonfire of the mort- gage. Marsh and his young men, some of them church workers, believed that if it could be worked successfully for a church ft could be worked In the country as a whole for the Demo- erate party. ‘An essential fenture of the every-member-can- yass plan is team work. Anyone who has ever heen waited upon with a request to subscribe to fa church fund to burn the mortguge knows that not one person but two do the visiting. Confront- ed thus by superior numbers the prospect gener- ally capitulates. ‘To organize such teams In every town and hamlet of the United States was the task which Marsh and his Towa hustlers set themselves to do, ‘This Is the way they did It: ‘The name of a good Democrat in every town was first secured, Then n communieation was sent to him asking him to forward at once to head- quarters the names of six or eight men in the town who would feel It an honor to be named as an auxillary finance committee of the Democratic national committee, designating one man on the list to be appointed chairman, By return mail exch man so named got his credential, a Uttle card bearing the pictures of Wilson and Marshall, and announcing that the Democratic national committee had been pleased to appoint him a member of its finance commit- tee, With this card went a personal letter from Treasurer Marsh caiculated to make the new member of the Democratic fnance committee get busy, Here, for example, is one paragraph from Mr. Marsh's letter, which as a whole sounds like the follow-up campaign of a man selling patent clothespins: “I wish I might vistt with you face to face and impress you with the tremendous tmportance of this work. ‘To my mind it is far reaching, We ure absolutely dependent upon it for the money to carry on the campaign; moreover, it Is {m- OW that It's all settled for another four years, yan may be Interested to know how the money was raised to conduct the world’s greatest political show. Well, here is the whole story with everything exposed — secret passages, family ghosts, mystery, In: trigue, lights, shadows, trapdoors Pie PNA RID mR ER RSLS FIRST TO FORECAST THE WEATHER. face, and the colder and rarer further up; the colder descending from time to time on account of its greater weight, Once the cold wave has de- scended tn spiral form, the warmer alr of the sur- face first moves toward the colder and thinner sur- face, on the vacuum principle, until a vacuum Is thus created in the warm zone with a consequent {nrush of the cold air. ‘This process of cooling off the surface and sup- plying fresh alr takes place continyaily, and the cycle usually ts through its development in three days. Hence he calculated the weather on cycles of three days, Doctor Hellmann thought that the modern weatb- erative, because by having the citizen who loves his country finance the campaign we are keeping the government absolutely uninfluenced by per- sons who have ulterlor motives. ‘Through you and the other party leaders I plan to make a personal solleltation of everyone who can afford to give and who feels an enthusiastic interest In the re-election of President Wilson, This Is a campalgn for the people and it must be paid for by the people. : “livery patriotic and loyal person ought to give to the point where It really means some- thing of # sacrifice to him, ‘To one this might mean a thousand dollars or more; to nnother, It might mean $500 or $50 or « dollar, ‘This Is the spitit of giving which T hope you will Inspire. T want to know the names and amount each gives and will keep a permanent card Index record of this, T will classify cities hy population and make a comparative record of the amount given by each, T feel certain you will see to it that your elty 1s well up in this roll of honor.” But the real detalls of Mr. Marsh's every-mem- ber-ennvass scheme were explained in still an- other communication from national headquarters, printed on pink paper, It was entitled “How to Do It,” and Is in Mr. Marsh's best style. Here 1s what It sald: “Success depends upon tenm work and upon getting Into the game right away. To this end You and each of the other members of your com- mittee are urged to adopt the following plan and stick closely to tt: “1. On the day you receive this letter make a list of every person you know, he he Democrat, Republican, Progressive or Independent—every forward-looking man and woman whom you know or believe to be Interested in the reelection of Woodrow Wilson—and set, opposite his name the amount you belleve he can afford to give. “2, Have your committee meet nt once, com- Pare notes, and together prepare a tomplete lst of every possible contributor with the amount your committee estimates he should give, "8. Transmit {mmediately to me personally a conservative estimate of the amount your com: mittee believes we may count upon receiving through your efforts, We need this estimate at once; please see that It ts mailed within three days after you receive this letter. “4, Divide your committee Into teams of two ‘and three to canvass personally and collect this money. You can work more effectively In palrs than singly, for {t ts harder for n fellow to say ‘No’ to a committee of his neighbors than to one person, “5, Apportion your Ist of prospective contrib: utors among’ your subcommittees and make tt the business of your committee to call upon each one of these prospects In person. Do not let this be hit-or-miss work, but do tt systematically, and do It withont delay.” As fast as these committees got any money they sent It directly to Treasurer Marsh. No matter how small his contribution ench contributor re celved an engraved receipt and his name went on Mr, Marsh's card index, ax a result of which honor he will probably get another appeal four years from now. Shorty before election, Mr. Marsh Invited some of his doubting friends into his office to see what these committees were doing. Plled high on bjs desk was the day's mall from these finance com mittees, Ench letter Inclosed elther a cheek ot had pinned to it real money. Some chairmen could hardly write legibly, but attached to each letter there was the list In each case of the people who had contributed the amounts, running from 25 cents to $500. In one day's mall the cheeks and cash contributions, Mr Marsh sald, amounted to more than $20,000. In fact, the average day's recelpts during part of October were about $15,000. er studies have not advanced much upon the Ptolemean of 21 centuries ago, and were as unsatis- factory, at least.in Germany, “where over 60 per cent of the weather forecasts were wrong.” ‘The lecturer thought that now, when the father- Jan’ was 0 sorely in need of money, the four millions annually spent on the “very unsatisfuc- tory prognosis” ought to be converted Into bresd for the poor, and bullets for the enemy, ‘The world’s largest artificial harbor ts plumed for Rotterdam, It will be 28 feet deep and cover 706 acres. : (hy BO, SELLERS, Acting Director of finday School Course, Moody Bible Ine stitute, Chicaro.)

LESSON TEXT—Acte 2:t1-21 GOLDEN TEXT—I am not ashamed of the Kospel; for It is the power of God un- to mivation to everyone that belleveth.— Rom. 1:16. In this lesson we see somewhat of the human side of Paul's character. No man npprecinte? fellowship more than he. Look up Acts 17:15; 18:5; I Cor. 7:6; I Thess, 8:1, 2; 11 Tim, 4:21, 1. The Sea Journey (vy. 11-14). Paul left Melita (Malta) probably Feb- ruary, A. D. 60, From there to Syra- cuse was a distance of between 80 and 100 miles. From the island of Syra- cuse (now a part of Italy) to Rhegium was one day's sail, From Rhegium to Puteoll was 180 miles, Puteoll (mod- ern Pozzuoll) is in the Bay of Naples, eight miles from the modern city of Naples. Paul and his band who had done so much for the Maltese were | spectally honored with many honors, (10) | _ In these verses we have a picture of Paul seeking out his brethren wherever |he- went, thanking God und taking courage us they came to meet with him and converse with him, It is a picture upon which we ought to ponder deeply and be grateful that tt reveals to us a side of Paul little known and appreciated. ; MN, The Land Journey (vv. 14, 15). Jae Puteoli, Paul and his companions begun thelr march to 140 miles to the city of Rome. After a march of 60 miles they reached the famous Appii Forum, |, e,, “The market of Appius.” Here Paul is met by the first dele- gation from the church at Rome, who were waiting to welcome him and Luke and escort them to the capital city. A second delegation met them at the Three ‘Taverns, or “The Three Shops,” as we would call stores in the modern sense, These Christians had come at no «mall cost, as they had to walk 46 miles to the Appit Forum and 83 to the Three Taverns, and then walk the same distance back to the city. ‘Thus it was that the sight of these friends cheered Paul and he thanked God. We can well imagine the Joy of those souls, the communion enjoyed by those pilgrims as they Journeyed toward the imperial city. ‘We can see in the letters which Paul wrote from Rome plain signs of bis longing for sympathetic friends and can {imagine how he must have felt upon '| being thus greeted on his Journey. We can also Imagine something of the | blessing and Inspiration which must | have come to those Christians who met | this famous soldier of the cross and | had the privilege of escorting him to "| the city. It must have inspired them '/ and given them new courage for the | battle that was pelng fought in the great wicked city then under the dom- || nation of the Emperor Nero. | Ml In Rome (vv, 16-29), Having ‘| entered Into the city the centurion Ju- ius, who had become a friend of Paul, "| delivered the prisoners to the captain '| of the guard. ‘This officer we are told | was a liberal-minded man, one of the "| few good people in the corrupt life of | the city, Paul was probably first taken | to the forum, which was the center of || Sumperial power nd magnificence and || near which was the “house of Caesar.” || (Phil, 4:22.) Paul was not sent to prison for it was against the law to | put a Roman into prison without a trinl, but he was permitted to dwell | by himself in “his own hired house.” || Of course, there was a soldier who | guarded him. ‘This was the city where , | Paul had so long desired to preach the Gospel, (Rom. 1:14.16.) As in other _| places, he first turned to the Jews, for , | he loved his own people no matter how ;| much he had suffered at their hands. He got them together that he might .| Preach unto them Jesus and sought to | conelilate them, He had no charges ; | to bring against them. t| It was not pleasant for him to be »| bound with a chain, but It was a great privilege and honor to be there in the »| cause which had brought him to the «| city. He deciares unto them that it s| was “for the hope of Israel I am y| bound with this chain.” His whole » | teaching and work was for the fulfill ment of this promise, (See Acts 23:6; + | 24:15; 20:68), °| In Paul's preaching he always em- h| phasized that Messiah was risen S| from the dead as a guaranty of all 1) other resurrections. In his day, asin this present one, there were’ those ¥| who spoke against this, and yet that | resurrection was to conquer the world | and to save it from moral ruin. ‘Those n | present had had no word out of Judea. h| (v. 21.) Ata later and a public meet- ¥ | tng (v. 28) there came unto him, that 4s, into his lodgings, great numbers to © | whom Paul sounded the Gospel of the | kingdom and gave his personal testl- *| mony. He proved out of the law of ~ | Moses and out of the prophets, com- "| mon ground for them all, that the Mes- . | siah had traly come, the prophecies of ; | the kingdom of God had been fulfilled, >| and that Jesus by his life and death ; | and teaching had shown the Jews how ” | perfectly the latter were fulfilled. This | Paul did from morning till evening, | following the same line as in his speech before Agrippa and in other places where he had been testifying ~| All of his explanations and testimon- e| tals centered In Jesus. It was no ab- ,-| stract mental theory for an improved "| edenalte person, Seous et Neste « person, Jesus | Paul is a great example for any A. Kansas City's pioneer real estate dealer.

THE HOME OF THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN 1604 East 10th Street This house will pay for itself in nine years and give an independent living to an ordinary family, after it is paid for. This is how it can be done. The price of this seven room modern house is $2750; will sell for $300.00 down and $25.00 a month. The family who lives in the house at the present time lives in three rooms and rents out four for $2.50 per week each or $40.00 per month. This amount would keep up the payments and leave $15.00 per month for interest, taxes and so forth, besides giving free rent to the family. After it is paid for you will still have the $40.00 per month income, the natural increase in the value of the property and no rent to pay. Can you beat it? Wake up and get Busy.

Smith, 17th and Lydia Avenue, who purchased 1014 Woodland Avenue, Kansas City, Mo., for the sum of five ($5,000.00) thousand dollars. We congratulate Mr. Smith as he has one of the handsomest duplexes owned by colored people. We also would like to thank Mr. Walter A. Finley for his patronage to whom we sold a six-apartment flat located at 17th and Michigan Avenue, Kansas City, Mo. We made a good deal for Mr. Finley as he paid cash for this elegant six-apartment flat. It was one of the best bargains that we have ever sold. You had better hurry because "Aunt Hagars" are crawling and they will walk. SOLOMON SMITH, Notary Public. Phones: President Colored Peoples Investment Co., Bell, East 1011.
