The Kansas City Sun Do You Know That Advertising is the Life of Trade and the Only Real Business Getter VOLUME IX. NUMBER 20. A Great Address Speech delivered by Mr. J. W. Perry, president, Southwest National Bank of Commerce, to the Lincoln High School Community Improvement Meeting, Sunday, December 24, 1916: Stenographically reported by (R. H. Jackson.) Mr. Hueston, and ladies and gentlemen, if I could speak as well as Mr. Hueston, it might be worth your while to listen to me for hours, but as I cannot, I am only going to talk to you for a short while, giving you some of my experiences, and talking to you heart to heart and man to man. When I was invited to make a talk before the Lincoln High School association, I told your Professor Lee that I would be glad to do it. I was to speak to you last Sunday afternoon, but having been called from the city, I could not keep the appointment, and it was postponed until today. Now, why should I, is the question that you might ask; and my answer would be, Why shouldn't I? In the first place, we are citizens of the same great country, of the same great state. If a portion of our citizens do not succeed, then we have not succeeded in the fullest measure. If the colored people are not succeeding, then Kansas City is not succeeding to its fullest extent. Therefore, I am going to lay upon your shoulders the responsibility of making Kansas City what it should be. The colored man, for a long time, has been an object of great interest. I mean the colored people of this country. I have studied his history some, and I want to say to you frankly, that there is not a people on the face of the earth that has made such progress in so short a time. You ought to be thankful, I think, and I know you are, for the opportunity that you have had, just the same as I am thankful. This is a government, not of races, not of languages; it is a government of the people, for the people, and by the people, and it is for all people, and you are a part of this government. I hope that the colored man, while he may sometimes think that he is handicapped, may know that every man is expecting him to do a man's part in the upbuilding of this country. You have moral and financial responsibilities just as much as I have, and if you are not meeting these responsibilities you are not fulfilling your part. Because you have recently come into possession of a wonderful opportunity, you are expecting me, no doubt, to say something about you in a financial way. This is applicable to ninety-nine per cent of the colored race, you are not a saving people. You all seem to get along, but you don't get along very well. You live, but you don't live very well, and you are willing to put up with what you have. The facts are that you ought to be demanding more all the time, and demanding it by sacrificing. You ought to be laying by for a day in the future, so that your savings will keep you from becoming objects of charity. Now I want to say to the business men, and I hope, and as far as I know this is true, that your principles are as good as those of any other people. Now in banking we know you to be honest, and let me tell you this, that if you do an injury to anybody in a business way, you are a fool who is going to lose in the end. You cannot hold up your head in this community and be a liar and a thief, for that will undermine your standing in the community, and you cannot go about, except in a braggadocia spirit and bluffing your way. I sometimes think that in business, you are working out your own policy. Lawyers, doctors, grocers, chicken men, all with whom I have come in contact, I have had no complaint of their integrity with me. Now are you just as fair with the fellow who cannot take care of himself? You cannot afford to do any other way. George Teeters! I heard his name! We trust him with anything in the bank. But if George Teeters ever took a five cent piece, he would lose his position, he would lose my respect, and he would take the colored people down in the estimation of the business men of the community. The integrity of the race is tied up in him, and therefore the responsibility is laid on him to be honest and square, and he must show others how to be the same thing. He must set the example in honesty every minute, and teach others to do the same thing. Many of your people are failures. In the first place you have not had the proper surroundings, the proper teachers. But you are getting them wonderfully fast. This Lincoln High School is just as good in every way as any co- high school I was ever you are going to amount to anything. If I had the means to endow each of you with $1,000.00, some of you tomorrow night would have considerably less than $1,000.00. You don't know how to keep it. You never think as much of the thousand that is given you as you do of the thousand that you make. I went to work at my problem in my own way. I didn't want to feel that after, I had amounted to something that somebody could come up to me and say, "You had a boost by some of your relatives." I never had any relatives that were worth a quarter. If you are starting out with the idea that because you don't get much you can't save anything, you are wrong. During these particular times, I very much doubt if you could save a good deal out of your salary. But when times are a little better, when things are a little cheaper, then I think you ought to try to lay by something. And there isn't anything you can lay by which will do you uuas much good as a home of your own. A man never feels like he is a citizen until he got a home. That is the first thing. I understand you have a savings bank here in the high sec. ol. That is a good thing to teach these children to save. You and I did not have such an opportunity when we were young. We thought that fifty cents was too small to save, and went and spent it. Now, let me tell you that the $50,000,000 in the southwest National Bank of Commerce are all made up of pennies, one hundred of them to the dollar. The penny is the foundation of it. And if you will save the pennies and let them stay there, not taking them out every time you want something, they will amount soon to a great deal. And now I want you to know this, that in your trials and tribulations, in your efforts, in the things that you are trying to do, that there are lot of good men and women in Kansas City that are with you, and I want to say there are as good many white people who want to see you succeed. Your social problems you must work out for yourselves. We cannot help you to do that. You are being educated in the same sort of schools that the white children are attending. Your professors have the same training that ours have. Your teachers have the same education and they are just as loyal. Now, I want to say that you have a fair chance, and if you do not make good it is your own fault. Your chance is not as good as the white man's. Your vision is not quite as large, your opportunity is not so great. You haven't the education, you haven't the money, but you are going to get these things, and I am of the opinion that when you start to do these things that you will have as great a satisfaction out of them as you have had out of anything in your lives. You are going to feel that you have a right in the community, and get your rights, not by demanding them, but by showing that you are prepared for them. I am inclined to tell you about how to save, but I don't know your problems. Just this warning I want to give you, keep out of debt! The first $75.00 I borrowed, it took me a long time to pay it. But the fact that I paid it showed me that I could, and the next time I tackled $175.00. If you are going in for a home, for a grocery outfit, for a huckster's outfit, it is all right to get in debt. But what I mean, don't live beyond your means. If you are buying a porterhouse steak when you ought to have pork chops or a soup bone, you are living beyond your means. When I was married, I married a very frugal little girl, a Pennsylvania Dutchman, and she would rather go hungry than go in debt. And if you folks will start out with that idea you will begin getting a little money into a savings bank. A good salaried position is about the best position that you will ever have, and let me leave this one idea with you, hold that position! Don't take advantages! If a man employs you, give him a day's service, a good day's service. The first job that I was ever given in a bank, I pretty near ran those men crazy, I got in the way so much. But pretty soon they were putting work on me, and letting me help in everything, and prettyson I was running the business. I was an indispensable article around there. You know how that comes about. And if you will do that, you are going to make yourselves indispensable. Another thing I want to say to the colored people of Kansas City is that there is not anything in the world that will get you along faster than courtesy. Sometimes you think the white man is not as courteous to you as he should be. He's just a fool. Don't you make that mistake. Just be courteous, kind and faithful, and don't you ever overlook the fact that some fellow will find that out, and when he does find that out he is going to employ you and pay you a fair salary, if he is a fair-minded man. And if he is not a fair-minded man, there are hundreds of other men looking for a good man. Some of you think you are worth more money than you are paid. You ought to be worth more money than your employer is paying you, for he must make two dollars and a half out of two dollars and a quarter, otherwise he cannot carry on his business. Don't try to get along with the smallest amount of labor and get the largest amount of money out of it. That is not the way to get along. Do a fair day's work, and do it as well as you know how. And do it today just a little better than you did yesterday, and somebody is going to recognize that faithfulness and ability at the end of six months, and if they do not, there are other men who will. I want to thank you folks for coming here and listening to the few things I have had to say. I wanted to tell you what is in my heart and to assure you that there are a lot of good men who are looking for you to succeed, because if you succeed we are going to succeed in proportion. Mrs. Frances J. Wilson well known in education and fraternal circles in this city passed away after a lingering illness at the family residence, 913 Woodland Avenue, December 31, and the funeral services were held at the Second Baptist church of which she had long been a member, on Thursday, January 4, at 11:00 A.

FRAZIER a valued employee of the Harvey System, who has been stationed for several years at Grand Canyon, Ariz., whose annual visits to our city by virtue of his popularity and the high esteem in which he is held here by all who know him are a distinct feature in the social life of the race in greater Kansas City.

The Editor had an opportunity to visit the Attucks School, Prof. Wm. H. Harrison, Principal and was more than pleased with the excellent showing being made in all the departments of this really up-to-date public school. Our prime object in visiting the school was to witness the working of the new Dental Clinic recently installed through the philanthropy of one of Kansas City's foremost citizens and under the personal charge of Miss Hanna a trained nurse at the City hospital who is constantly in attendance during the school hours. The clinics and dental surgery are conducted by Drs. Chapman, Shelton and Eagleson and are open each school day and excellent work has been done since its establishment January 3d. Prof. Harrison has been fortunate in surrounding himself with a capable corps of teachers in the person of Mrs. Sallie Rogers, Miss Maude Olden, Miss Harriett Walton, Miss Eva Moore, Miss Amanda Wheeler, Miss M's Josephine Yates, Miss Dorothu'l Vandeuve, Miss Victoria Doroulu, Maye, Maybster, Prof. Joe E. Herriford, Jr., Prof. D. G. Watson and last but not least Miss Bessie E. Taylor the Domestic Science teacher, whose culinary skill was amply demonstrated in a delightful luncheon we asked to join the principal in discussing. This luncheon was faultlessly served under the direction of Miss Taylor by little Miss Frances Baldock who was assisted by Geraldine Jones, Cornelia Bannister and Melvina Pierce and the menu consisted of the most appetizing soup, roast beef and creamed potatoes, french peas and delicious apple pie. The editor belives that the well-to-do bachelors who enjoy good cooking and home life who permits Miss Taylor to remain much longer teaching Domestic Science are crazy. Miss Olden and Miss Yates who also partook of this luncheon were loud in their praise of their Domestic Science instructor. Professor Harrison is taking hold with a master hand the management of this most centrally located school of the race and he is instilling in the children under his supervision that optimism, energy and industry that will win for any people and at the same time is demanding that their deportment and conduct upon the streets and in public places shall be of a nature that will win the commendation of all with whom they come in contact. The Parent-Teachers' meeting of Attucks school was held Friday at 2:30 and after music and invocation the secretary's report was read and approved after which remarks were made by Rev. Father Hanloo of St. Augustine's P. E. Church. Discussion of school extension was continued with Mrs. J. S. Harris, Mrs. Josephine Jones and Professor Harrison participating while the general discussion was led by Prof. D. G. Watson. After a closing musical number light refreshments were served by the social committee. Greenwood, Mo. Mr. Nelson C. Crews. Dear Editor: I am sending you herewith my subscription for another year.

Longdon I am one of the hundreds of newspapers edited and managed by Negroes. During the last twelve months many new names have been added to my subscription list. Of course, in that time some subscribers have been dropped from the list, but in most cases their delinquencies were of long standing. Almost as many delinquent subscribers have pledged to pay up and take advantage of my Special Rate Offer for 1917 as have been dropped, so I have a good feeling that my present subscribers represent not only a gross, but, in a large part, a net increase in subscriptions. One of the reasons why I have been able to live and carry out the purposes for which which I was established is that I have efficiently managed. Indeed, the editor has maintained a strict censorship, not only over the increasing advertising, but over the reading matter as well. My readers ought to know that I have been particularly interested in those problems that concern the citizens of America. Particularly the Negro. I have endeavored to discourage the wrong and support the right and thus to become an influence for good among the people. Another for my success is that in appearance I rank with the better newspapers of the country. But in spite of this I find so little to pride myself on, and so much that's deficient in my condition, it is only natural that my feelings are changed from satisfaction with myself to gratitude at finding myself where I am. I have, as a matter of fact, been accorded success in spite of my shortcomings. There is no denying the fact that I have not done my best. I have tried all along to make myself the best weekly newspaper possible, and deserve the success. But other newspapers have done all this and made themselves equally good and oftimes better. To me, however, came the patronage of the public in such volume as to send me to 36 states and Canada. So as I get a distant note of the "ringing in" of the new year by bells tolled at midnight, I face the future with greater strength born of experience, and bet ter equipped because of 1916. And as I hear the approaching chimes I must say to myself as did the old Italian who stopped on the street corner and said with a tear-choked voice: "Datta da sweetest music in alla da world." SOME CLASS TO THIS PORTER. Negro, Arrested for Speeding in Own Limousine. Is Freed. "Oh, for the life of a porter, a porter, a porter," softly wilted a spectator in the South Side court to himself the other morning as he watched David Allen, Negro porter on a Santa Fe Pullman, walk out of the court room, climb into his 1917 model eight-cylinder limousine and drive proudly away. All n, who lives at 2313 Highland avenue, had just been discharged on a charge of speeding. "Whose car were you driving?" asked Judge Kelman. "I was driving my own," answered Allen. "That so?" said the judge in surprise. "And what sort of work do you do for a living?" "I'm a Pullman porter on the Santa Fe." "And you are able to purchase and maintain a big limousine?" "Yes, sir," answered Allen. "I run down in the oil territory in Oklahoma and the rich men down there are liberal with their cash." "I wouldn't mind having your job myself," declared the judge. "I'm going to discharge you, mainly because I like to see a Negro who spends his money in a better way than shooting craps."—K. C. Journal. That's nothing, Judge, there are 116 automobiles owned by Negroes in this city among which are Cadillacs, Packards, Cole 85, Buicks, Chevroletos, Fords, Maxwells, Overlands, Pierce Arrow, Moons, Dodges and speak it easy, Judge, (three or four racing cars that can be keyed up to 100 miles an hour) and remember, Judge, "We's gittin' mo' lik white 'foks every day."

Defies Men Threatening Judge for Spiriting Negro Slayer Away. Murray, Ky., Jan. 11.—Governor A. O. Stanley of Kentucky, who made a hurried trip here on a special train, to quiet a mob threatening to lynch Circu- t Judge Charles Bush for failing to hand over a negro accused of murder, arrived at daybreak and immediately took charge of the guards surrounding Judges Bush in a local hotel. Commonwealth Attorney J. P. Smith also has been threatened by the mob. Governor Stanley sent word to the leaders of the mob that he was determined to prevent the lynching of another negro in Kentucky, even at the risk of his life. "I intend to see to it that this negro is given a fair trial at any cost," said the governor. A few hours after his arrival, the governor seemed to have the situation well in hand. Possess of citizens were formed at Princeton and Hopkinsville and were about to start for Murray to protect Judge Bush and Smith. The governor ordered them not to come and sent word to Paducah that the Negro should be held there indefinitely. A reign of terror existed in this city last night, the lawless element in the vicinity completely cowing more timid citizens who feared even to talk of conditions over the telephone to other cities. Judge Bush was holding a special term of court to try Martin, the Negro, who was charged with killing Policeman Pluiquid. Martin was kept in jail at Hopkinsville for several days because of the feeling against him here and when he was brought here for trial a mob formed to lynch him. It was then Judge Bush sent the prisoner to Paducah. This action infuriated the mob who demanded that the judge bring the Negro back or suffer the consequences. The judge stulty refused. Judge Bush is one of the leading figures of Kentucky and one of the foremost lawyers of the state. He recently was elected to serve out the unexpired term of Judge J. T. Hanbery, who died. Dayton, O.—A letter received last week by Mrs. Matilda Dunbar, mother of the late Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Colored poet, who died a number of years ago, tells her of honors which have been paid her son by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia in naming the new high school for Colored children for the poet. The new school cost $550,000, and, according to Principal G. C. Winkerson, author of the letter, is one of the finest in the national capital, and the finest and best-equipped high school for Colored children in the United States. The structure will be dedicated January 15, while appropriate exercises will be held during the entire week. Mrs. Dunbar has been given an invitation to attend the dedication exercises as the guest of honor. She is also told in the letter that the alumni association has voted to present the school, during dedication week, with a four-foot square bronze tablet of Mr. Dunbar. Wm. H. Kibble's scenic and dramatic production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will be soon at the Garden Theatre starting with a matinee Sunday. Mr. Kibble's company carries all special scenery and effects required to give a perfect production of this old, ever popular play. The company embraces over fifty people, a chorus of over twenty colored men and women, pouies and six man-eating blood hounds. A special train of cars is employed in transporting the production.

SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). ©Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR JANUARY 14 JOHN THE BAPTIST AND JESUS LESSON TEXT—John 1:19-34. **LESSON TEXT—John 1:19-34.** **GOLDEN TEXT—Behold, the lamb of God that taken away the sin of the world.—John 1:29.** John began his public ministry in the summer of A. D. 26 and the baptism of Jesus probably took place in January, A. D. 27. The delegation from Jerusalem to interview John must have appeared along toward the latter part of February. 1. John the Witness (vv. 15-18). John's ministry created great excitement. The people were in expectancy. All classes were reasoning as to who this strange but marvelously forceful man might be. Some thought perhaps he was the Christ (Luke 3:15). To settle this question a committee was sent to Jerusalem to investigate, Malachi, the prophet, has suggested the coming of Elijah (Mal. 4:15) before the Mossiah should come, and another prophecy indicated that the prophet should be like unto Moses (Deut. 18:16-18). John freely confesses to this delegation that he is not the Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet predicted by Moses. How foolish and silly are those modern ones who profess to be the messenger of the covenant or some other fanciful title, indicating the return of the witness which is to precede the coming of Christ. John exercises humility in the way he states his real position though he does apply to himself the prophecy of Isaiah (Isa. 40:3) which sets forth what his mission was to be. A voice can be heard but not seen. With our bodily eyes we never see a spirit. No man ever saw the soul of his nearest friend. We do see God, however, in his works, in his marvelous deliverances and his guidance of the world and his answers to prayer. We can also see him in the only begotten Son who has made him to be seen. Whoever sees Jesus as he was and is has seen God. Truly blessed are the "pure in heart for they shall see God." 11. John the Baptizer (vv. 19-29). As John had denied that he was the Christ or Elijah, the priests and Levites made bold to question his authority at a later Matt. 21-23), and still later the authority of the apostles and the priests (Acts 5:28). John answers them with another display of his humility. His baptism in water was nothing to the baptism of the coming one (See Matt. 3:11; Acts 1:5). Though Christ was in their midst, they were blind and did not recognize him. (See vv. 10, 11; ch. 8:19, 16:3). John's baptism of repentance denotes a baptism which a penitent submitted to that he might receive the pledge and assurance that his sins were forgiven. Baptism meant the cleansing of the people from past sins that they might be fitted for entrance into the kingdom. Baptism is not conversion. It is a witnessing and a symbol of a spiritual truth that we are dead unto sin, and have risen to newness of life (Rom. 3:5). Like John, our voice must be not only that of humility but it must be really a voice with a message from God, one that sounds an unmistakable note, one that can be heard wherever we go, one that will make men happler, stronger, braver, more like God, to prepare the way for Christ in the hearts of men. 411. The Witness of the Spirit (vv. 28:34). The writer is very explicit, stating the exact time that these things occurred, for he was an eye witness. John first restifies that Jesus was the Lamb of God, referring of course to the sacrificial lamb, the atoning sacrifice of the Old Testament (Gen. 22:7-8; Ex. 12:3; Isn. 53:7). As the Lamb of God, Jesus would take away the sins of the world; thus the thought is primarily that of atonement, a substitution of another and the deliverance from the guilt of sin. The next day after John's witness to the delegation from Jerusalem, he saw Jesus coming unto him, and said to the assembled people, "Behold the Lamb of God." This refers not so much to his character, that of innocence, meekness and patience, as to his office, his completed work of atonement by the sacrificial death wherein he takes away the sins of the world. On the ground of the propitiation for sin which Jesus wrought (I John 2:2; Matt. 20:28; II Cor. 5:21; Gal. 3:13) sin is removed from the sinner. Gal. 3:13) sin is removed from the West. God dealt in mercy with men before Christ's time because of the lamb which was stained from the foundation of the world (Rev. 13:8). Here John says that at first he did not recognize Jesus as that the Messiah, but he does bear record that he saw the spirit descending at his baptism, and it abode upon him. Luke adds that the heavens were opened, and the spirit descended in the form of a dove. There is no difficulty in John's statement, "I knew him not." He lived in Judea; Jesus lived in Galilee, and it is doubtful if they had ever met. What John probably means is that he did not seem as the coming Messiah, but he that commissioned John in the wilderness to be the forerunner of the Messiah had given John a sign whereby he should know him, the Son of God. John had waited patiently until this sign was given. He did not speak until he had the certificate of God. He knew that one was to be made unoffest; therefore he came baptizing with water, preparing the way (Matt. 3:2:6) as soon as he did see, John gave his testimony, "and this is the lamb that was to take away the sin of the world; literally to bear away and remove the guilt and punishment of sin. The work of Christ is for the whole world till all its an is removed. world till all its suns is removed. He provides redemption enough for every man. He pardons our past sins so they are remembered no more against us forever. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS --- --- In fifteen representative southern cities it was also noticed that the Negro population increased more rapidly than the normal rate of increase all over the country, but during the same period the increase in northern cities was larger. In both cases it is clearly shown that there is a steady flow of Negroes from rural to urban districts. The difference between the increase in the northern cities and in the southern is also emphasized by the observation that in the northern cities the rate of increase among Negro inhabitants exceed that of the white inhabitants, while in the southern cities it was almost the same, indicating that there was nothing unusual about the increase in southern cities. Churches probably wield more power among the colored people than among any other single class in the United States. Religion is an intimate part of life to most colored persons. The churches are an influence for good citizenship and an educational factor second only to the public schools. They have clergymen powerful as exhorters, and surrounded by thousands of devout followers. A canvass of all the churches made by the Daily News shows that they claim 42.5 per cent of the city's colored population as church members. Attending church is taken up with enthusiasm and religious services are made a pleasure. Few other churches in Chicago have as large congregations as several of the leading colored churches. From this high standard the congregations diminish in size and influence down to the private ventures where a "brother" or "sister" with a can of paint and a brush has converted a vacant store into a mission. Sometimes a "mission" is started and runs a strong-lunged exhortation, followed by a collection or a rummage sale to make it worth while. The big churches are financially prosperous. They have employment agen- Behind this movement, says Professor Haynes in a letter to the New York Times, is the reaction of the Negroes toward certain fundamental conditions which have always affected American population. They come North for better wages, better educational opportunities and better living conditions. Most important is the economic reason. Wages in occupations open to Negro employees are in nearly all cases higher in the North than in the South. From a survey made in New York in 1910 it was learned that before they came North, the average wage of 37 Negroes was from $3 to $7 a week. In New York their wages ranged from $9 to $12 a week. Twenty-six Southern Negroes who had received from $3 to $5 a week for domestic work in the South, were able to leave from $5 to $8 a week in New York. Out of 365 Negroes who were asked why they came to New York from the South, over three-fourths gave an economic reason. The skilled Negro workmen find it hard to obtain employment in the North, but it has been found that these man can work The Berlin electric central station under private ownership paid all its operation costs, set aside reserves and a pension fund, and also turned into the treasury of the city in one year $1,54,868 to cover the usual franchise tax and other levies. The lighting rate charged is Berlin is 9½ cents. Platiumum was formerly employed for the ignition points of spark plugs, but the greatly increased cost of the metal has compelled the use of substitutes, chief among which is metallie tungsten.

JANUARY 13. 1917 cles, day nurseries and classes of various kinds. They do more or less charity work among their own people. Some of them, Walters A. M. E. Zion, at West Thirty-eight and South Dearborn streets, for one, are open 24 hours a day to give shelter and help to all who call. In civic life outside their own doors the churches apparently do not have the influence to which they are entitled. Two of them protested in vain against different saloons a few doors distant, whither boys and girls were turning their steps. The Rev. A. J. Carey, one of the leading pastors, has received political preferment and others have been smiled on by the powers that be. But with their thousands of devoted followers, the colored clergyman, as a rule, has not due prominence among those working outside his church to better conditions among his people. Recently several clergymen passed resolutions indorsing the city administration regardless of the wide-open haunts of vice thrown in among their people.-Chicago Daily News. There is no doubt but that in many various ways a bld for Negro labor by other sections than the South is being made. Thousands of Negroes who went East and West last summer from the lower South did not return the last winter. Most of them went as house servants and hotel help, but remained to work as porters, elevator men, and the like. This summer the traffic has been even greater. To the writer's personal knowledge almost whole neighborhoods have gone to some of the smaller towns of the middle West. For an instance, no less than a score of Negro families have gone in recent months to certain Chicago suburbs, notably Evanston, from one Southern community. Each Negro worker that leaves the South draws at least one other worker with him. The ability to earn a dollar, together with the privilege to spend it largely as one wishes, offers an irresistible inducement to a growing class of blacks. If this migration increases, which is likely, since the movement is given an added impetus by the rapidly improving condition of this country, the Negro will find himself in the midst of new adjustments which will work in many ways for his good. For one thing, he needs to be more even scattered over the country. Kansas will need him, Pennsylvania and New Jersey will need him, Illinois and Iowa will need him. In the South the poorer whites will be forced to do some of the harder tasks of the shop and field, and will be forced to do what they have never hitherto done: Fit themselves for housework and other work calling for more or less personal service. And it will all work to the Negro's gain. The employer will not be able to get along without the help of both, and the white worker will not be willing to work for the Negro wage—Exchange. The National Negro Business league, founded by Booker Washington, has inaugurated a nation-wide movement to advertise business enterprises. The plan includes trade-boosting campaigns in all communities where there are any number of Negroes engaged in business. Co-operative advertising methods will be employed to stimulate trade of Negro merchants; prizes will be awarded in some communities for best results; celebrations will be planned in other communities. as jantitors and porters and make more money in the North than they can by following their trades in the South. When the rate of pay is considered, the Negro seldom looks at anything but the money wage as distinguished from the real wage. If he makes $12 a week in a community where it costs him $10 a week to live, he thinks he is doing better than if he made $9 a week in a community where it cost him $5 a week to live. And this tendency is by no means confined to the Negro. Inseparable from this migration is the problem of proper housing, education, social conditions and general welfare. If taken in hand as soon as they arrive in the North and started right, these migrants can be made into good citizens. This requires close co-operation among the white and colored leaders in every community, and no city can afford to trust to chance in the matter. In the search of a source of supply of potash it has been said that a ton of bunana stalks will make five pounds of pure potash. The success of the electric vehicle should be greater in South Africa than in most parts of the world, because gasoline there costs from 70 to 75 cents a gallon, three times as much as it is worth in the United States, and twice as much as it costs in any other country in the world. In Mexico there grows a tree called the "tree of little hands." It is thus called owing to the fact that its five peculiarly-curved antlers look like the fingers of a child. Example of Buoyancy. Probably the most buoyant material in the world is the pitch from a giant sunflower grown in Siberia, which can support thirty-five times its own weight when on the water. Cork, on the other hand, has a buoyancy of only one to five, and reindeer's hair one to ten. Brute! Any woman can economize when she's broke. Get the idea? Keep her broke.—Exchange. COATS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE LIBERAL LINES THAT MARKED THE EARLIEST MODELS 100 LIBERAL LINES IN COATS. The latest arrivals in coats have not departed from the liberal lines of early models, neither as to length nor width. They give the same impression of luxurious warmth and substantial comfort.* Some of them achieve original touches in detail of construction and trimming and succeed in presenting something new in a world of varied coats. Two examples that can hardly be excelled for beauty and utility are shown. They proclaim the cleverness of their designer inasmuch as they follow the mode, but by original means. At the right a coat, which might be made in any of the popular clothes, is cut with the body and sleeves in one. It is set to the figure over the shoulders by small tucks at the back which extend from a squares yoke to the top of the sleeves. Wide cuffs, a convertible collar, and patch pockets, to which we Q A CHARMING AFTERNOON GOWN. are accustomed, are as plain as can be and nothing is allowed to divide the attention, which is centered on the general excellence of this design. A fine combination of cloth and fur, shown at the left, is cut on lines that are almost straight, with a hint of definition at the waistline. A little fullness in the body is laid in plaits that disappear in a piping set in at the front. Silk cord and pony skin distinguish this model by way of decoration. The pony skin is trimmed into points along one edge and fors a deep border at the bottom of the coat. The same idea appears in the collar which is almost covered by the pony skin, and in cuffs made entirely of it. Both coats are long and both leave nothing to be desired in the direction of style or comfort. Georgette crape embellished with velvet and needlework and brightened with a little touch of silver make up the very pretty afternoon gown which is pictured here. It is an interesting Way to Break a Habit. Has your little girl formed the nail-biting habit? If so, try the plan of one mother who believed in kindness rather than harshness. Her little girl was most saxiotes to possess a certain doll which she saw in a toy shop. The mother promised it to her on condition that she would stop biting her nails. She told the child that whenever she forgot herself he boll would disappear for a day. The idea worked beautifully. There were days when the doll was locked away, but in time model and a happy choice for anyone who wants a dressy gown that will serve for many occasions. It is unpretentious but it is also elegant, and its design is so simple that the choice of color is widened. Where it is to serve for both afternoon and evening blue, light gray, taupe, olive green, burgundy and anemyst are good colors that will prove successful in it. The underskirt and bodice are made of satin and are plain. The georgette skirt is bordered with a narrow band of velvet headed by a line of silver braid. Above this a band is embroidered by long stitches in silk floss. The crepe is laid in three deep folds and draped over the shoulders, and between this draping a plain piece of crepe extends across the back and front. Narrow bands of needlework provide the decoration for the bodice. Short shoulder straps are made of it Q and finished with small pendant balls of silver. The bodice shows a little chemisette of embroidered net. A wide flat girdle is made of satin velted with georgette and ornamented with a band of needlework. It extends below the waistline, wrapping the figure loosely. The sleeves are full from shoulder to cuff. Here they are shirred to form the deep narrow cuffs that are finished at the hand with a band of needlework. The hat of gold lace, which harmonizes so well with this gown, is bound at the edge of the brim with sealskin and trimmed with a small pompon of this fur. It would be just as pretty made of silver lace, and the fur might be moleskin. The choice will depend upon becomingness to the individual. Julia Bottomly the habit was entirely broken and the doll was ever present.—Exchange. Precious Balm of Gilead. Among the ancient Jews, so indispensable were scents considered for the bridal toilet that one-twelfth of the bridal dowry was set apart for their purchase. The famous balm of Gilead was distilled from a bush which formerly covered the mountains of Gilead, but has of late become so scarce that only the sultan can be supplied. TAKE OUT GREASE SPOTS Blemishes That So Greatly Annoy the Housekeeper May Be Effectively Dealt With. Grease spots may be removed by the application of carbon tetrachloride, according to H. F. Zolier, assistant in chemistry in the Kansas State Agricultural college. "Removing grease spots with gasoline or benzine is both dangerous and wasteful," said Mr. Zoller. "Chloroform is effective, but is dangerous. Carbon tetrachloride is u.s.d by cleaners because of its safety, cleaning power and the absence of a disagreeable odor. The disadvantage is its expense. "Ink is difficult to remove if it has been in the garment for some time. Iron inks may be removed by oxalic, acetic, citric, or dilute hydrochloric acids. In case of the coal-tar inks, the spot must be bleached. "Iron rust can be removed by fairly strong oxalic acid solution, if allowed to stand on the goods for a short time, and often when it is exposed to the sunlight the action is a little quicker. The excess of oxalic acid must be washed out, and the goods washed with a good soap, in order to neutralize the acid. Hydrochloric acid is the best remover of iron rust, if handled by an experienced person. "An excellent formula for the removal of fountain-pen ink, especially iron ink and iron rust, is the aceto-oxalic acid formula. It is made by saturating a 10 per cent acetic acid solution with oxalic acid, and mixing one part of the product with four parts of alcohol." HOUSEHOLD HINTS To induce a canary to take a bath sprinkle a few seeds upon the water. This added attraction will make the bath become a habit with the little fellow. To keep flowers fresh, place a pinch of bicarbonate of soda in the water before putting them into a vase. To make glassware clear and sparkling, add a little washing blue to the soapsuds when washing. If ink is spilled on the carpet or table cover, cover it immediately with salt as it absorbs the ink. Powdered alum added to ordinary stove blocking adds to its brilliancy. Oxalic acid and javelle water are excellent for removing ink stains. New tinware will never rust if greased with a little fresh lard and baked in the oven before it is used. Corn Chowder. One can corn, four cupfuls potatoes cut in one-quarter-inch slices, one and one-half-inch cube fat salt pork, one sliced onion, four cupfuls scalded milk, eight common crackers. Cut pork in small pieces and try out. Add onion and cook five minutes, stirring often that onion may not burn. Strain fat into a stewpan. Parbull potatoes five minutes in boiling water to cover, Crain and add potatoes to fat; then add two cupfuls boiling water; cook until potatoes are soft, add corn and milk, then heat to boiling point. Season with salt and pepper and butter and crackers, split and soaked in enough cold milk to moisten. Remove crackers, turn chowder into a trureen and put crackers on top. Codfish Souffle Pare and slice enough potatoes to make one pint, add a pint of codfish, shredded. Place in a saucepan, cover with cold water and bring slowly to the boiling point. Drain off this water, cover with boiling water and cook until the potato is thoroughly cooked, then drain and mash fine. Melt one tablespoonful of butter, add an equal amount of flour and stir until smooth, add one and one-half cupuples of milk, then fish and potato mixture and cook for five minutes. Cool, add the beaten yolks of three eggs, then the stiffly beaten whites. Turn into a buttered baking dish and bake slowly for 35 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with sprigs of parsley. Colonial Cake. One-half cupful butter, one and a quarter cupfuls granulated sugar, three eggs, half cupful thin cream or rich milk, half half even teaspoonful soda, one even teaspoonful cream tartar, two cupfuls of pastry flour, half cupful seeded raisins. Add whites of eggs last and bake in tube pan. When cold frost with a heavy white leeing that will contrast prettily with the yellow of the cake. Citron sliced in thin strips may be used instead of raisins, or in combination with them. Chocolate Pie. Four tablespoonful cocoa, one plant of water, yolks of two eggs, two tablespoonful cornstarch, six tablespoonful sugar. Bowl until thick, add one tablespoonful vanilla. Bake the crust, pour in the chocolate. Beat the whites of the eggs with one cupful of sugar, spread over top and brown. One teaspoonful of baking powder in one-half cupful granulated sugar added to the white of one egg stiffly beaten makes a fluffy meringue. Cornmeal Muffins. Sift together one cupful cornmeal, one cupful bread flour, one teaspoonful soda (level) in one cupful sour milk, and add it to the sifted ingredients. Then add one-quarter cupful molasses, then two eggs, two tablespoonfuls melted drippings. Beat well and bake in well-greased muffin pans about one half hour in moderately hot oven. Makes 12.

GOVERNMENT EXPERTS TELL OF BEST METHODS. Directions for Preparing a Cleansing Material That Has Much Virtue—Must Be Applied With Care and Thoroughness. For the benefit of those who have the care of silver, the office of home economics at Washington has made a thorough study of the electrolytic method of cleaning and has published the results of their work in United States Department of Agriculture Bulletin No. 449. After discussing several types of commercial cleaners and giving the results of various analyses, they suggest the following method as being cheap and satisfactory: "An enamel or agateware dish should be partly filled with a cleaning solution of one teaspoonful of either washing or baking soda and one teaspoonful of common table salt to each quart of water and placed directly on the stove to boil. A sheet of aluminum or clean zinc should then be dropped into the dish and tarnished silver placed in contact with the metal. It is best that the silver be entirely covered with the cleaning solution and that the solution remain at the boiling temperature. As soon as the tarnish has been removed the silver should be removed, rinsed in clean water, and wiped with a soft cloth. Zinc may be used in place of aluminum, but it becomes corroded and inactive in a much shorter time." The electrolytic method plains plated or sterling silverware without loss of metal, giving, however, a satin finish rather than a burnished appearance, and has the additional advantages of being both clean and labor-saving. - Clara Glidden, Colorado Agricultural College, Fort Collins, Colo. Silver Cake Beat whites of four eggs stiff, one and one-half cupfuls sugar, one-half cupful butter, one cupful cream or rich milk, two and one-third cupfuls flour, two teaspoonfuls cream tartar, one teaspoonful soda or two and one-half teaspoonfuls baking powder, one teaspoonful scant of salt, flavor with lemon. Cream butter and sugar together. Add egg whites, then milk, alternately, with flour in which baking powder and salt have been sifted four times. Last and one cupful coconut if liked. Frost with cream frosting made as follows: One and one-half cupfuls powdered sugar, two teaspoonfuls butter and suffice.' cream to make of right consistency to spread. No flavoring, as butter and cream flavor it. Beat hard five minutes and spread on cake. Delmonico Cream Roll Potatoes Here are two Delmonico potato recipes: Pare potatoes and cut them into bits the size of a pea. Keep them in cold water until all are ready. For each scant pint of potatoes make a pint of white sauce, seasoning with onion juice or celery salt. Stir the potatoes into the hot sauce, turn into a well-buttered agate sauce pan and cook in the oven until the potatoes are tender and the sauce is absorbed, with the exception of just enough to hold the bits of potatoes together. Fold one part over the other as an omelet and turn onto a hot dish. The potatoes should not brown above or below. If necessary, set them on the grate and cover the pan. Old-Style Mincemeat One and a half pounds stoned ratsins, three-quarters pound currants one-half pound sultanas, half pound mixed peel, one pound apples, two pounds of brown sugar, two pounds suet, one heaping teaspoonful of mixed ground spices, one-half teaspoonful of mixed ground ginger and nutmeg, one gill brandy. Mix the chopped or grated suet and the well-cleaned and dried fruit together with the sugar, spices and the candied peel shredded and chopped fine.

The sudden and unexpected death of Burt Grant was quite a shock to his friends in Chicago and everywhere. He died in the arms of his Christian mother and sister on Christmas morning at 10 o'clock. The end was peaceful and he had told his mother that all was well. Olnaburten Grant, as his real name was born in Sedalia, Mo., on St. Valentine's day and was 44 years of age. Mr. Grant had contracted a cold which suddenly developed into nephritis pneumonia. According to the story of his mother, Burt was born a nervous child, and once at the age of two, he collapsed, and when he had ceased to breathe and his body was lifeless and cold, she breathed his own breath through his mouth into his body and revived im. He was a natural born dancer and made his first appearance on the stage at the age of six, as a pickinniny in White's Burlesque company at Kansas City, Mo. He was later sent to school, and several years later joined W. S. Cleveland's Minstrels. In 1898 he joined W. A. Brady's "Bottom of the Sea," where he made his first big reputation. He succeeded Jack Evans, by record then, as the greatest colored buck dancer on the stage. He was next seen with Sam T. Jack's Creoles. When "In Old Kentucky" company was first organized, he was a member and sailed for England with the show and toured the continent in Europe for five years. On his return he played straight lead for John Larkins in Larkins' first and only successful starring in a Trip to Africa." It was in Sam T. Jack's company that Mr. Grant married Florence Ellsworth, who afterward died in New York. His first big vaudeville alliance was when he joined Irving Jones and wife, Jessie Jones. The team was known as Jones, Grant and Jones. Grant soon relaxed in his dancing to sing and do comedy work. He was a sweet singer and a good actor and in a dandy class, as a straight, equal to the late George Walker. But the public accused him of getting too lazy to dance. In the meantime he was very good to his mother, and she kept sending for money until his mother and sister bought a nice home at 2956 Dearborn street, Chicago, which they own and where they now reside. When Mrs. Jones retired, Jones and Grant continued on the big time for some time after, but finally separated. DUMAS PROUD OF HIS AFRICAN BLOOD. A few weeks ago a new novel of the great French author, Alexander Dumas, was discovered and has received considerable mention throughout the literary world. A French writer in La Revue gathers together some reminiscences of the great novelist and among them is the following: "It is said of Dumas that he was so vain that he would often get up behind his own carriage in order to demonstrate to his friends that he had a Negro footman. He always seemed very proud of the fact that he had African blood in his veins." GETS PITTIANCE FOR GREAT SONG HIT. Chicago, Ill.-Tony Jackson, a Colored piano player in a city cabaret only received $45 for the great song hit, "Pretty Baby," which scored so heavily in "The Follies." Thousands of dollars have been made off the song by the publishers, while the composer is still pounding the piano every night for a few dollars. COLORED PEOPLE LEARNING FOREIGN LANGUAGES. Many Colored people of Texas are learning the language of Bohemia, the Bohemian farmers having settled in solidly through a section of the state and insisting on conducting operations in their own tongue. The whites refuse to learn the language, but the Colored people are doing so. A similar development has been wrought in the Czech colonies in Virginia. Since the wart stopped the importation of Greek bootblacks, the Greek stand proprietors in Chicago have had to employ Afro-American aids. These Colored lads are learning Greed rapidly and proficiently. — Chamberlain's Magazine. WHY NOT REGULATE EVERY: THING? Opposition of the Board of Governors of the Cincinnati Advertisers' Club to the Randall advertising bill pending in Congress is timely and sensible. This measure, if enacted into law, is to withhold from the mails any publication or printed matter advertising intoxicating liquors for sale. Enactment of this bill into law will establish a precedent which quickly and easily may lead to governmental censorship of all printed matter. If it becomes unlawful to publish advertising relating to the sale of intoxicating liquors, it will be but a step to prohibit the advertising of tobacco, of underwear, of stockings or of any other commodity in which a large portion of the public is interested. It would almost appear that a law so drastic in its operation would be in contravention of the constitutional guarantees to the press. Not because the bill in question relates to advertising of alcohol, but for the broader reason that it impinges upon personal rights, members of Congress should study the measure seriously before committing themselves to its support. COLORED GIRL STARTS PAPER. Maude Mason Enters Journalistic World in Wichita Through Weekly. Maude Mason, a colored woman, has started a newspaper in Wichita. She has named it "The Wichita Kansas." While it will favor the colored race Miss Mason says that she intends to throw the columns open to both races. The first number bears the date of December 30. An advance proof of the paper shows that Miss Mason, who came here from Hutchinson, is a bright young woman and knows how to edit news. She formerly taught school at Kansas City and Parsons. Her office is at 258 North Main street. -Wichita, Eagle. SECRETARY LANE WANTS COBB'S RESIGNATION. Washington, D. C.—The Secretary of the Interior has requested Professor James A. Cobb to show reason why he should not resign his professorship at Howard University. Professor Cobb served as assistant director of the Colored Advisory Committee of the National Republican Committee, and for that reason Secretary Lane desires his resignation. If Professor Cobb could have swallowed the treatment accorded the race by the present administration and worked for it, his position would have been safe. It is expected that Howard University will stand by Cobb and demand that he remain. COLORED FARMER HEADS KAN- SAS INSTITUTE. Lawrence, Kan., Jan. 4. -Edward Harvey, acknowledged to be one of the most capable scientific farmers in Douglas county, was recently elected president of the Douglas county farmers' Institute. Mr. Harvey is a graduate of the Kansas University in the class of 1894, and was a member of the football team. PORTRAINS OF BLACK RULERS DISCOVERED IN EGYPT. In the November number of "Art and Archaeology," James Henry Breasted, the world-famous archeologist and scientist, announces the discovery of the studio of an Egyptian portrait sculptor belonging to 1400 B. C. It was called the house of "chief sculptor, Thutmose." All of the portraits are remarkable for the fact that they are unmistakably of Africans, especially that of Queenmother Tiy. The ones of Ranaoer and the Queen of King Ikhraton are also impressive with pronounced Negro characteristics. COLORED MEN SUBMARINE VIC TIMS. Washington, D. C.-The British stock transport, Russian, which was sunk by a German U boat December 14, and by Newport News, November 16, for Alexandria, Egypt, with a load of 400 mules, had 22 Colored men on board. Nothing has been heard of them or the rest of the crew and it is believed that they were lost. TO SAVE YOUR CLOTHES go to SIMM'S HAND LAUNDRY ALL SHIRTS 10 CTS.

A delegation of good roads leaders from St. Louis held a conference the other day with the good roads committee of the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce in an effort to have Kansas City join the Federated Roads' Association. The committee took the proposal under advisement. Arthur A. Hall, acting chancellor of Washington university, has been appointed chancellor of the institution to succeed David F. Houston, secretary of agriculture. Unverified reports that Houston had resigned from the chancellorship reached St. Louis several weeks ago. A Missouri girl is custodian of the most important secrets of the United States senate. Senator Stone of Missouri, chairman of the senate committee on foreign affairs, has appointed Miss Jessie L. Simpson of St. Louis secretary of that committee. E. T. Major, brother of the retiring governor, is no longer secretary of the state fair board. He has been succeeded by E. G. Bylander, who will take up his duties on March 1. Major was re-elected but resigned immediately.

Col. E. Y. Burton, president of the academy, said Martin was cleaning a rifle in obedience with the commandant's order and the gun was accidentally discharged. . . . George E. Muns, Republican expostmaster at Montgomery, who was notified of his appointment as curator of the state university, says he knows nothing of any move looking to the ousting of President A. Ross Hill, and that his appointment by Governor Major came without any seeking or planning on his part. The good roads section of farmers' week voted recently to petition the legislature to enact legislation that will enable the state to take advantage of the Federal Aid Road law. The legislature is also asked to enact a law to insure proper and continuous maintenance of state roads. Raymond T. Bratton, 22 years old, formerly a salesman for St. Louis and Kansas City live stock concerns, was found dead at the home of his parents in North Callaway the other morning. J. W. Jones, a farmer living between Montgomery and Bellflower, won a motor car the other day and cashed it for $500 before he returned to his wife and four children to tell them of his big strike. The prize, given by the Montgomery merchants, brought a large crowd to town. Jones' home burned recently and there was a mortgage on his farm. Robert Hughes, a resident of Camden, seven miles south of Richmond, was killed while out hunting recently, when climbing a fence the hammers of his shotgun caught in the wires, causing both barrels to explode, tearing off the left side of his face. The new $50,000 high school building at Fulton was formally opened with a public reception. Hundreds of citizens visited the new building. Sessions have been started in the new school. . . . Despite the fact that his election as judge of the Springfield court of appeals is being contested by John H. Bradley of Kennett, who was the Democratic nominee, Argus Cox took his place on the appellate bench at Springfield, succeeding Judge William B. Robertson of Webb City. . . . Suit for $10,000 damages has been filed against Governor Major by Nat H. Goldstein, circuit clerk of St. Louis. The circuit clerk charges Governor Major illegally withheld his commission. --- While much noise was being made by the townpeople over the advent of the new year, robbers blew open the safe in the station of the Kansas City, Clay County & St. Joseph Electric Railroad at Dearborn, Mo. They got $200. The will of Mrs. Ellen Butler, widow of Col. Edward Butler, at one time Democratic leader of St. Louis, has been filed. The will, which is a duplicate of the will of Colonel Butler releases to the heirs an estate of $5,000,000. Submarine warfare is a twentleth century terror. California attracted gold seekers in 1849 and in 1915 it is attracting gold spenders. No wonder that girl can don seven gowns in ten minutes—they are such little ones.

Our annual special rate of $1.00 for the year to be paid in advance begins today and continues throughout January. If you are wise you will take advantage of this offer which will positively end the 31st of January. The truth is the light. The Louisville Courier-Journal, "Marse" Henry Watterson's paper, remarks that aged colored people nearly always exaggerate their number of years. Even if the Missouri penitentiary is only half as bad as it is painted the fact remains that no one need be entertained there except upon his own choice. Prisons and vacation resorts naturally differ. In its halcyon days the Willis Wood didn't care for colored patronage at all. When it drifted into a swell movie house the line was drawn to exclusion. This week it offered "Old Kentucks" and advertised "special reservations for colored people". Then it burned out. We were about to speak of the church announcement evil. But it's no use. The thing just gets worse and worse. Certain prominent men in every church just have to be shown off every Sunday of they'll "bust". Certain notices just have to be given out three or four times by as many different people. In the language of the Shubert "Go To It." The high mark in playhouse segregation may always be found whenever an attraction is put on at Convention Hall, the so-called hall of the people. Negroes are usually denied seats at first under the pretense that those handling the tickets do not know what arrangements have been made, etc. Finally the most remote section of seats is doled out to colored patrons who, assisted by impudent white ushers, have great difficulty in finding their seats and still greater difficulty in locating the stage. Popular institutions in America have a wide and uplifting influence. HOT SHOT. There are a whole lot of big-to-do Negroes whom in the vernacular we would call "Moochers" who are too cussely stingy or cheap to buy a Negro Newspaper of their own, but sneak around to some of their neighbors' houses and carelessly pick up their paper and carry it off to find out what is going on among the Negroes. And yet this same class of swell-headed Negroes want their names to appear first in the paper, in the biggest type on the front page and never contribute one cent to maintain a mouthpiece for the race either in their home town or any other town. This is a class of Negroes who will spend three days in Pergatory to get their names with the word Negro or Negroes in small type following it in the white man's paper. As far as the Sun is concerned this class of Negroes can go to Pergatory now. Selah. --- MASONIC BUILDING ASSOCIATION W. G. Mosely, President. T. G. McCampbell, Vice President. Wm.

Sheafe preached last Sunday morning, prefacing it with a beautiful solo that thrilled the hearts of the large congregation assembled to hear him. Judging from the first Sunday in the New Year, the prospects look bright for a larger, better, more helpful Christian year. Among the visitors present, the names of three were presented to the ushers. Rev. Sheafe conducted special revival meetings during the week. He is a forceful speaker and imparts spiritual strength and uplift to his hearers. There were two additions during the week. Quarterly Conference was held Wednesday, January 10. The work of painting the inside of Douglass hospital has begun. The ladies of this hospital club are working strenuously to bring it out of depths. The annual election of trustees will be held Tuesday night, January 30. All members who have not signed pledged cards are asked to do so. Give your name to Sister Minnie Doyle or Bro. William Ballard. James H. Crews is forming an organization for the purpose of paying on the main debt of the church. At 7:45 last Sunday night the lights of Allen Chapel were turned off and Prof. Jackson and choir repeated the music of the Christmas *morning service Many were present to hear it. It was just as effective and inspiring as when first rendered. Mrs. Maude Cuney Hare of Boston and Mr. Wm. Richardson will appear in a Grand Musical Recital in Allen Chapel Thursday, February 8. Mrs. Francis J. Dawley is chairman of the committee. Proceeds go toward paying semi-annual interest due April 1st. ST. STEPHEN'S BAPTIST CHURCH. Services were well attended at the St. Stephen's Baptist church Sunday. The pastor preached an excellent sermon at 11:00 A. M., on "The Unity of Faith and Works." Splendid Sunday school services were held at 2:30 P. M. At 6:30 P. M., the B. L. P. U., held their regular meetings. At 8:00 our pastor preached the Memorial sermon in honor of members who had passed into the better land in 1916. Everybody is invited to come and hear Dr. S. S. Jones of Oklahoma, who will conduct for us an old time revival. You will miss a treat if you fail to hear this great speaker. We are glad that Sister Ella Dayton is improving. Deacon T. Brown is able to be out again. We are also glad to have our pastor's mother with us again. We hope that her health will continue to improve and she will be able to remain with us. Mother Georganna Adams is reported ill. We pray for her a speedy recovery. NOTICE WE$TERN BAPTIST EXEC UTIVE BOARD TO MEET.

JANUARY 13. 1917 Little Corner THEY SAY —That if you want to make a Negro your mortal enemy, lend him money or sign a note for him. —That if they go to arresting buffet flat keepers as they threaten they are going to do, they will have to build a new jail to hold them all. —That a “tight” man and a loose dog are equally dangerous. —That the best definition of a selfish person is one who never remembers the favors shown them. —That no soon had they put on a Negro show at the Willis Wood the house got mad and burned itself down. —That these coal peddlers who are charging 15 cents for a quart cup full of coal are sure to spend eternity where they'll never be bothered with the lack of fuel. Amen. It serves them right. Let them burn. —That the Negro business man who thinks that he can succeed by sharp practices doesn't get far. —That a certain coal dealer came down 19th St., making a mile a minute the other day and he was on foot too. Why? He tried to tickle another man's wife under the chin and hubby happened to be sitting just inside the door and he sure wrote his name on that darkey's coat-tail with his trusty razor. Better be careful Mr. Coal Man. —That if you can't get hot water to bathe with use cold, that'll help some says Daddy Flynn. —That the following little poem from the pen of Phil Brown in the Saturday News is a lala cooler and we especially want all our delquent subscribers to read it and the addenda attached thereto: "Goodbye, Mr. Taker!" You've been heavy on our loin; We hope you'll miss the paper, As we have missed the coin. Mind what we are sayin'— If you don't pay your fare, You might live 'thou payin' But we can't live on air. So, goodbye, Mr. Taker!' We surely wish you well And when you 'take' another paper We hope you'll be in (deleted) We hope you'll ring the bell." The editor being somewhat of a poet in his own right, volunteered the last line to this immortal poem, but the delenda that was imposed upon our devil is, believe us—our fondest hope. More than two hundred of those who were in arrears for subscription have come forward and paid up. There are less than a hundred out now, and "while the light holds out to burn the vilest 'taker' may return." So step right up! Don't crowd the mourners! Hit the primrose path of righteousness and square dealing. If you haven't paid, your name is off the lists now, but the cash will get it back on. Come forward; the light will be burning in the window for you. Do not be damned as a 'taker'. It might take courage to pay your debts for a colored newspaper, but come right up. Will some one sing.

HE GAVE FAME TO BABYLON Enduring Memory of Ancient Capital Due to Nebuchadnezzar, Historians Say. Nebuchadnezzar is always associated in our minds with the splendor of his great city, Babylon. "Is not this great Babylon which I have built?" And, indeed, he deserves such an association; and if ever a man had cause for pride as he surveyed the works of his hand, Nebuchadnezzar was that man as he looked abroad on Babylon, James Bikie writes in Geographic Magazine. Great she had always been, reverenced as the mother city, and the source of learning and law even by her Assyrian conquerors in the day of her humiliation. But Nebuchadnezzar and his father had found her as the Assyrians had left her—powerless, humiliated and sunk. He raised her within a generation to far more than her ancient splendor—to a magnificence, indeed, which bega-gared description; so that even Rome, wonderful as its spell has been, has never been able to oust Babylon from the mind and imagination of the human race as the typical world city, the emblem of all that is magnificent and luxurious and central. Ancient histori-ans can find no words to describe the grandeur of the palaces, the temples the hanging gardens of the great city by the Euphrates. Great soldier as Nebuchadnezzan was, he was really by nature and instinct a man of peace, not of the merciless and unprofitable Assyrian type at all. "He was in truth a son of Babylon, not of Assyria; a man of peace not of war; a devotee of religion and culture, not of organization and admin-itatation," so says Goodspeed. The same high authority remarks that "the picture of him in the Book of Daniel is in not a few respects strikingly accurate. His inscriptions reveal a loftiness of religious sentiment unequaled in the royal literature of the oriental world." There can be no question of the dignity and reverence of some of the prayers used or sanctioned for use by the great king. IS SEVEN MYSTIC NUMBER? Here Are Some Facts Which Might Support the Theory That It Has Some Power. The Germans say that "All good things are three"; but seven is also a remarkable, one might almost say a mystical, number. The little girl in Wordsworth's well-known poem said: "We are seven." The days of the week are seven. The colors of the rainbow are seven. The notes of the musical scale are seven (the eighth one being the same as the first). There were said to be seven sages of Greece, and seven kings of Rome, and the city of Rome was built on seven hills. London city has seven hills also; Cornhill, Snow hill, Ludgate hill, Fish Street hill, Bread Street hill, Holborn hill and Tower hill. The world was made in seven days. There were seven famous cities of antiquity: Romo Antioch, Nineveh, Babylon, Athens, Tyre and Carthage. There are seven wonders of the world, that is of the ancient world, and these were: The Colossus of Rhodes (a huge statue striding across the entrance to the harbor of Rhodes), the Pyramids, the Ephesian temple of Diana, the mausoleum (or tomb of King Mausolus, the remains of which are now in the British museum), the hanging gardens of Babylon, the Statute of Jupiter and the Pharos. There are also seven wonders of history. These are: The Colosseum, the Catacombs, the Great Wall of China, Stonehenge, the Leening Tower of Pisa, the Porcelain Tower of Nankin and the Mosque of St. Sophia at Constantinople. Here are the seven new wonders of the world: Wireless, the telephone, the aereoplane, radium, antiseptics and antitoxins, spectrum analysis, X-rays. There are many passages in the Bible in which the number seven is mentioned, and it is on this account and the facts mentioned above that seven is considered a sacred number. EVIL AMONG THE PRISONERS Habitual Criminal Injures Wrongdoer With Better Aspirations—New Era Editorial. The habitual offenders released from prison, who continually persist in their criminal pursuits, are the men who bring disrepute on men now in and out of prison who strive to follow the straight path, says a writer in the New Era, federal penitentiary, Leavenworth. Though these criminals are reaping the harvest of their misdeeds and their sins are steadily finding them out yet they cast a reflection on us that is a barrier to even better conditions within our walls. They are the men who shatter our hopes of a speedy release by piling up statistics of damaging record against us. They are the men who are responsible for the conservative policy and cautious decision when our own lives are in the balance of consideration for more privileges—more paroles—liberty and freedom. They are the men who wreck our homes and tear down the structures of hope that we have spent years in building. They are the builders of more prisons—architects of abuse—instrumentalists of barbarism in our penal institutions. Therefore we should, with firm resolve, wreck the ambitions of our destroyers of salvation. We should unite our forces and bring every pressure to bear to bring them to their right senses of thinking. Society cannot, through selfish economies, hope to make better men out of habitual criminals nor reform even first offenders. The habitual criminal is more to be pitted than censured. He must not be deprived of his chance to make good and it is society's duty to uplift him. Exclusive. "I was surprised to hear that you were Newcome's guest at his weekend party.

Sex the Key to the Bible By Sidney C. Tapp, Ph.B. "The Truth About the Bible," about five hundred pages, $3.00. "Why Jesus was the Lord," about two hundred pages, $2.00. "Sexology of the Bible," over one hundred and seventy-two books, $2.00. "The books treat of the sex of the Bible," and show that the Bible is a book of sex and a book of spirit, and that sex is the dividing line between the physical and the spiritual, and that sex is the ease, sickness and insanity are within the sex, and that sex-lust was the origination of the arresting the attention of the medical, scientific, philosophical and theological worlds and people of all classes as no other world can do so probably do more to shape the thoughts of the human race than any books ever written. The world is the world. They are daily going to the great thinkers of all parts of the civilized world. "I would rather be the author of the Titanic, than to be the President of the United States. His sex interpretation of the Bible, as therein contained, is so darkening that it is answerable that the human intellect staggers under the ideas presented. For Mr. Tapp's books on the Bible and his sex interpretation of the Bible will live in the library and Empires may perish and Empires may decay, but the ideas presented by the author in the books never die."—Prof. J. Sias Harris, A. M. "Mr. Tapp's works on the Bible will do more to empty our jails, insane institution than to give the world idea that has ever been given to the world, in our opinion, to say nothing of the greatness that they will do the ruman race. He has indeed produced a world idea in the home and library in the civilized world. W. A. Thompson, M.D. W. A. Awan, M.D. S. M. Mikel, M.D. H. F. Mikel, A.B. M.D. Theodore F.

Then she placed both her hands on those of the desponding Lionel Dore and looked up at him frankly. "But I am glad that you have told me," she murmured softly and her face showed sympathy, kindly interest and a slight token of regret. "You have honored me and I shall never forget you. But you must forget, you must remain the true, good man you are and do your duty." She was gone. The man sat staring after her, a world of emotion in his strong, ingenuous face. "She loves me!" he whispered fervently to himself. "It is enough. Yes, I will meet the ordeal and it will not be so hard, knowing that this tender soul is in harmony with my own." It was a strange case. Lionel Dore young, pilant, impressionable, had fancied he had found his ideal in Lucia Tresham. She was the petted child of rich parents, frilvous, vain. She was frail and delicate, with a fervor of genuine affection, in the subject of her heart's choice. Insensibly Dore had been led into avowing his regard for Lucia. It was to find that she wished to be little more than a petted doll. She was exacting, moody, capricious. Then Mary Benson, her precise reverse, had flashed over Dore's pathway. She was Lucia's closest friend and had come to be a companion of Lucia until after the wedding. Lionel was troubled, shocked and then appalled to find that all of the love of his strong nature was given to Mary Benson. He had fought against the convic- tion, he had tried to be loyal to Lucia. E. "Then She Is Critically Ill!" Then had come a moment when he and Mary were alone. In a wild torrent of words he had poured forth the emotion that was fast consuming him. It had not been a proposal. It was a confession, the wretched avowal of a thoroughly unhappy man. And now, despite his misery, a strange, subtle peace stole over Dore. His soul was relieved. The woman he really knew of his affection. Her very words told him that he was loved in return. But she was high souled, she had appealed to all that was noble in his nature to stand leal and honorable by his sacred duty and await the final decree of destiny. With fixed resolution Dore made up his mind that he would be all he had promised to Lucia. So the wedding took place and Mary was there, and smiled amid her tender sorrow, and Dore went through the ordeal smiling, too, and the childish Lucia bubbled over with her effervescent spirits, never suspecting the truth. Mary left the Tresham home immediately after the wedding. She and Dore met only once and then in the presence of others, where with due formality they bade one another goodby. Dore took up his cross. Lucia insisted on a protected tour of travel covering wide distances. He yielded to her slightest whim, weary and sad hearted as he realized how little here was in her outside of being a villile, spoiled child. Then they drew closer to one and other, the mismated pair, for a little one came to the household and the secret chords of Dore's being weir stirred to a new source of interest and love. It was after that when revelation came that him still more devoted to Lucia. The docto and told her father that her frilc confession was broken, that insidio fisease was wasting her vitals, that he would not live through the y. It came to pass, her gradual fa way, and Dore was a widower. 1 Old Mr. Tresham removed to the south and Dore was alone in world with a helpless little infant his hands. Little Lois became the one c land cottage and hired a motherly old woman as housekeeper and nurse for Lois. His professional duties as an architect held hia to the city, but every weekend was spent in the company of Lois. In all of the years Dore had not heard of Miss Benson. He thought of her often, however, and wondered how fate had treated her. Of course an attractive woman like her would have married long since. He valued the memory that placed her high in his estimation, but felt that so far as any mutual interest was concerned, his hopes and affection were like an oft-remembered story in the old-time entombed. Dore was absent at a distant city on a most important business mission, when a telegram reached him signed by his housekeeper announcing that little Lois was ill, but in good hands and that his immediate return was not imperative. Dore wired back to advise him daily of the child's condition. The reports were so vague, simply containing an assurance that Lois was well cared for, that he traced a certain mystery about the same which troubled him. He hurried through with his work and started for home. He was met at the depot by the doctor. The latter after some circumlocution explained the situation to him. "Your wish to see your little child is natural, Mr. Dore," he said, "but that is impossible for the present." "Then she is critically ill!" exclaimed Dore anxiously. "I think not, but she is quarantined." "A contagious disease?" continuous disease. "Yes. Your housekeeper deserted her in a fright at the first. Fortunately, I found a most expert young nurse. Her patience and skill have done wonders in bringing the little one to a stage of 'convalescence. Fortunately, too, the nurse escaped contagion. By next Monday I hope it will be possible for you to see Lois." It was a period of anxious waiting for Dore. He was filled with grateful joy when he was told that the house had been fumigated and he might clasp his darling in his arms at last. Lols came running towards him as he stood in the open doorway. She babbled forth her childish delight. She told of "clear aunty", and how kind she had been to her, and she left him to run to a lady advancing from another room—Mary Benson. The little one clinging to her, Mary stood smilingly extending a welcoming hand to the amazed Dore. He bowed his head to hide the grateful tears that filled his eyes. "Always the same kind, gentle, faithful to the last! You must have sought Lois out." "And if I did?" questioned Mary softly, "do you not deserve all that tribute, after your noble adherence to duty?" He could not let her go, and she did not wish it. Their love for the little one cemented the bond of affection, and a new life of serenity and happiness came to Lionel Dore and those he loved. The Dog's Ancestors. According to Charles R. Eastman, writing in the Museum Journal, our modern dogs have a varied ancestry, some being descended from Asiatic and some from African species. The spitz in all its varieties is a domesticated jackal. The mastiff and St. Bernard and their kind are descended through the molossus of the Romans from a huge wolf-like creature that was already domesticated by the Assyro-Babylonians 3,000 years before our era. The Russian borzoi and the Sicilian hound had their origin in the Cretan hound, which is still common in Crete, and it and its cousin, the Ibaza hound of the Balearic islands, came from the ancient Ethiopian hound, which was a domesticated wolf. The dolle or shepherd dog seems to come down direct from a small wild dog of the paleolithic period. Indian Relics in St. Thomas Indian Relics in St. Thomas. Capt. Theodore de Booy of the American Indian museum, New York, has discovered on the Danish West Indian island of St. Thomas an Indian burial mound and much valuable evidence of aboriginal life. He is still working successfully on this discovery, the first ever made there. He has unearthed a Carib burying ground in which were found pottery and other interesting relics. Capt. de Booy, curator of the museum, returned from Santo Domingo last September with Indian relics that he had discovered in that country. He had an earthnware Indian, 18 inches high, that he believed had been used in religious ceremonies thousands of years ago. That was the principal specimen, but he had also about 2,000 articles which had been exhumed from 28 Indian graves. Good Night. "How is that efficiency expert making out over in the place where you work?" "He got the gate the very first day he was there." "What was the matter? Was he incompetent?" "No, he was too darned competent. He discovered that the boss was wasting half our time telling us things that we knew better than he did."—New York World. Babel. "Everybody at the party was talking at once!" "They were quite right," commented—Miss Cayenne. "Everybody might as well talk. There was absolutely no fear of interrupting anything worth listening to."—Washington Evening Conflicting Impressions. "I suppose you are having a lot of fun with your new motor car?" "Sometimes I think I am," replied Mr. Chuggins, "and sometimes I think it is having a lot of fun with me." She Got There. "My mother-in-law must catch that in, driver, so hurry up." You can count on me, sir. I shall e as if she were my own"—Bos-Transcript. THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. JANUARY 13. 1917 ANNUAL FLORAL PARADE WHEN the picturesque opera bouffe kingdom of Hawaii succumbed to the law of destiny in 1893, when the early missionaries, New Englanders mainly, whose culture, educations and religious training have brought Hawaii to its high state of civilization. reigning queen was deposed and a republic set up, and five years later when the republic became a territory of the United States of America, the romance of the old-time government disappeared with the furling of the beautiful Hawaiian flag. But the old, moonlit nights still remain; the same incomparable climate still enthralls and the tinkle and the strum of the ukulele and guitar are heard beneath the coconut palms as the native Hawaiians sob their ear-hunting melodies, writes a special correspondent of the Christian Science Monitor from Honolulu. No longer is the old palace filled with diplomatists of foreign stations; distinguished generals, admirals, writers and playfair are no longer received in the old throne room by a Hawaiian king and queen. Of all the old regime, there still remains only the deposed queen, Liliuokalani, living a still eventful life in Washington place, the home of her husband, the prince consort; a home filled with relics of the days of royalty; reminders of the days when King Kalauaun was the monarch, and she a queen herself, during a brief reign of two years. Today, however, the queen is honored in Washington place and elsewhere as if she sat upon the throne of old Hawaii. If she Hawaiian holidays, on her birthday and many other occasions, she receives in semiroyal state; the guests are ushered into her drawing room by the same officers who officiated when she was in the palace; the introductions are made by the same courteous gentleman who officiated as chamberlain during her reign; her attendants are the same women who attended her in the brilliant days of the monarchy. In the drawing-room A HOME IN A HOME IN HONOLULU are seen the old, silken royal standards of Hawaii. In the trains of guests are the highest federal, territorial and city officials; there are jurisids, generals and admirals, statesmen and writers. Social life in old Hawaii still centers in Washington place and all delight in honoring the beloved queen. The people of Hawaii who overturned the monarchy still give sincere homage to this woman. Impress of the Monarchy. Impress of the monarchy. That is one side of the social activities in Hawaii. The monarchy made its impress upon the people and their customs in the past, and many of these customs of habit and precedence have not yet been overcome, for the etiquette of the court of St. James prevailed at the palace during the reign of King Kalakaua and Queen Liliuokafani. The levees, at which presentations were made, were based in form and style upon those given in Buckingham palace. With the change in the government and the setting up of a republic, the president of the republic, Sanford Ballard Dole, former United States judge, and Mrs. Dole became the arbiters of official social life in Hawaii. Mrs. Dole was the social hostess of Hawaii; around them were the descendants of Meerschaua as Building Material. Even the most esthetically inclined of our American millionaires would hardly consider the luxury of living in a residence built of meerschaua as within the range of their fortunes, yet there are many unpretentious houses of this material in the Spanish town of Vallecas, near Madrid, where a coarse variety of this substance may be found. Oddly enough, just across the straits are the Moroccans, who have discovered that still another variety of meerschaua lathers freely and makes a good substitute for the ordinary toilet soap.-Popular Science Monthly. Evolution and Immortality There is an element in evolution which endears it to me and to every man; I think it throws bright gleams on the question of immortality. I see that the unfolding series in this world are all the time from lower to higher, that the idea is not reached at any point, that the leaf works toward the bud, and the bud toward the blossom, and the blossom toward the tree, and that in the whole experience of hu- the early missionaries, New Englanders mainly, whose culture, educational and religious training have brought Hawaii to its high state of civilization in the last 100 years. There are as many beautiful gowns seen in Hawaii as in the cities of the mainland. In former days, when Hawaii was an independent country, silks and satins and the finer fabrics were easier to obtain than now. In the old days the opera house would be filled with beautifully gowned women, and men always wore conventional evening clothes. The formal affairs were and are characterized by such toilets as are seen in London, Paris and Berlin. The army now forms a large part of the population of Honolulu. Its uniforms are seen at all formal affairs; in fact, the companies that assemble in Honolulu are often far more brilliant than are to be met in malland cities. The social code of Honolulu is stricty, and formality demands a regard for the rules that have been found necessary for the common good of society everywhere. The city of Honolulu is divided into social districts, all of the women of the same neighborhood receiving on the same day. Stranger Not Held Aloof. The stranger must needs yield reference to entitle him to entry into the conservative circle of social Honolulu. The stranger, however, is not held aloof. Every opportunity is afforded, whenever possible, for the stranger to mingle on equal terms with the residents. The outdoor life favors such mingling—the life around the hotels, the sea benches, the homes with their wide-open porches or "lanes," as the inslanders term them; the town clubs and country clubs, the army posts, the varied forms of public amusement. There is the "smart set;" there is the conservative set; there is the royalty set; there are many social circles in Honolulu. Among the most active entertainers are the Princess Kawananakoa, a beautiful part-Hawaiian woman of culture and brilliant accomplishments, and Prince and Princess Kalaniannale (Prince Cupid, for short, they say), whose delightful old villa at Wailiki is the scene of many and wonderful parties. Prince Kalaniannale is Hawaii's delegate to congress. Golf and polo are played throughout the islands. Tennis courts abound everywhere, even at the remote villas of the sugar planters far away from town. The motor car is everywhere, even going now to the very edge of the crater of Klauea, on the island of Hawaii. Baseball is played the year round. At the famous Honolulu Country club in Nuuau valley, just outside of Honolulu, is a splendid 18-hole golf course. Isolated as Honolulu may be geographically, its society otherwise is in close touch with the outside world, and is in no sense insular. It is ready to do its part, with credit to the distinguished strangers whom it may receive, and its representatives are at home in any land wheresoever business or pleasure may take them. man nature, and in the whole economy of the providence of God in regard to the physical world, everything is on the march upward and onward. And one thing is very certain, that neither in the individual nor in the collective mass has the intimation of God in the human conscience verified and fulfilled itself. The imperfection shows that we are not much further than the bud; somewhere we have a right to a prescience of the blossom.—Henry Ward Beecher. The Right to the Baby "Mother," said Carl, "suppose after all the trouble we have had with the baby he should die." "Then we should not begrudge him to God," said mother. "We should not begrudge him, of course," said Carl, "but God does seem to want more than his share of the babies, especially if they are good." Acme of High Art. "What were those rare plaques I noticed on your dining-room plate rail?" "My wife's first plau, sir."—American Cookery. Acme of High Art TWO WAYS TO COOK CABBAGE Both Will Be Appreciated by Those Who Are Fond of This Savory Vegetable. Sussekraut—Take a good-sized head of cabbage, cut it in about six or eight pieces and wash. Have a kettle of boiling water ready, put the cabbage in, add a small pinch of soda, let boll until tender, then take the kettle, stand it in the sink and let cold water run over it until you can put your hands into it, then squeeze all the water out of the cabbage, then chop it fine. Have a frying pan on the stove, put a small tablespoonful of hard in it or drippings (butter, of course, makes it still better). Take a medium-sized onion, cut it up fine and fry till brown. Add a tablespoonful of flour, stir a little, then add the cabbage and thin it with hot water or soup stock (a good cupful is best), salt and pepper to taste. Let it cook up a few minutes, then serve. It is fine with any kind of meat gravy over it. Bairish Kraut—Take a good-sized head of cabbage, shave it fine and wash it. Have a large iron kettle or a pan on the stove; put a good tablespoonful of lard in it, then take a medium-sized onion, brown it slightly, add the cabbage and just a little water (a scant half a cup), cover tightly and let it steam until tender. Stir occasionally so it will not burn. Add salt to taste, and a few minutes before serving, add a good tablespoonful of vinegar. (Of course if you don't like the sour taste leave the vinegar out.) RECIPES FOR FINE CANDY How Fondant and Chocolate Creams Are Put Up by Those Who Are Considered Exports. Two cupfuls granulated sugar, one halfful cold water, boiled slowly. Add quarter teaspoonful of cream tartar, before it has boiled five minutes. When it keeps its shape in cold water, wet a dish in cold water (a platter is best), pour it out carefully and stir with a wooden spoon till stiff and about to crumble. Then take in your hands and work and knead it till pliable and smooth. Pack in a deep dish and cover with a wet cloth. Let stand several hours (till next day is better), when it will be velvety and of fine texture. Don't try to make it on a cloudy or stormy day, as a clear, bright atmosphere will give best results. From this fondant all kinds of fine candies can be made. Chocolate Creams—Form the balls from the above fondant, and let stand over night, to harden. Cook together one cupful granulated sugar, one-half cupful water and thy pinch of cream of tartar till, when a little is dropped in cold water, it can be gathered on a spoon, then set on back of stove and add two squares of chocolate that have been melted, a heaping teaspoonful each of butter and vanilla, and set dish in another of hot water, and dip the creams. It takes but a few minutes for them to harden. Drop on waxed paper. They are extra nice. Lemon Pudding. Sauce—One and one-half cupfuls of sugar, one and one-half cupfuls water, butter size of egg, juice and rind of one lemon. Batter—One cupful sugar, one cupful water, butter size of egg, one teaspoonful baking powder, flour enough to make batter like cake. Mix the sauce in granite pan and set till dissolved, then pour batter over sauce and bake in a medium oven. Good either hot or coid. Stewed Apples. One and one-half cupfuls of water, one-half cupful sugar, ten apples, one tablespoonful of lemon juice. Boll the sugar and water together. Wash, quarter, pare and core the apples. Cook the apples very slowly in sirup until they are soft and transparent. Add the lemon juice and then remove them from the sirup without breaking the pieces. When ready to serve strain the sirup over them. One tablespoonful flour, one-third cupful sugar, one cupful boiling water, one cupful orange juice, one teaspoonful orange rind and one teaspoonful lemon juice. Mix the flour and sugar together thoroughly, then add the boiling water slowly and cook for ten minutes, stirring constantly. Add orange and lemon juices and the orange rind and bring to the boiling point. Serve hot with orange puffs. Honeycomb Pudding. Beat two eggs, add one-half cupful sugar, one-half cupful molasses, one-half cupful milk, in which dissolve one-half teaspoonful soda, one-half cupful flour. Pour into pudding dish and bake in moderate oven 45 minutes. Sauce—One cupful sugar, one cupful boiling water, butter size of a small egg salt, one tablespoonful flour dissolved in three tablespoonful water, one-half teaspoonful lemon extract. Creamed Potatoes One large onion cut in small pieces; cover with milk and simmer until the onion is tender. Pass the onion and milk through a sleeve; then add a cupful of cold sliced potatoes. Season with salt and paprika, then scald. Add the beaten yolks of two eggs mixed with one-half cupful of cream or good milk. Heat the mixture through, but do not boll. Hard Pudding Sauce. One and one-half cupups powdered sugar, and one-half cupupl butter. Cream these well, add one-half cupupl boiling milk, one-half teaspoonful lemon, one teaspoonful vanilla. Beat until creamy. This is especially nice on steamed puddings. Would be pleased with some ideas on packing lunch boxes.

Some of these works are of great interest, being editions supposed to have been lost even in the Orient. "Besides these early works dating from the twelfth century, the same exhibit contains material illustrating the three largest books in the world. "These are: 'The Great Ming Encyclopedia,' which took the equivalent of 8,000 years' work in compilation; the 'Imperial Encyclopedia,' the largest printed work made up by order of the Manchu emperor, Ch'ien Lung, from 1773 to 1782, and including all the principal works in the Chinese language." How President Wilson Obtains Wanted Relaxation FOR the last few months there has been a great mystery about the White House. It has to do with one of the means which the president employs to relax from his presidential duties. This form of amusement is nothing latest detective stories. President Wilson does not believe it wise to keep the midnight oil burning. Therefore, the hours of 11 o'clock usually finds him in bed. More often it is before 11 o'clock that he retires. This is necessary because of his early rising. The following sign could properly be posted upon the door of the White House offices: "Office hours 5 o'clock in the morning until 10:30 o'clock at night." Once hours, 5 o'clock in the morning until 10:30 o'clock at night. Usually the president's afternoons have been given over to recreation, which may be golf, or motor rides. Mrs. Wilson is generally his companion in both. The motor trips are usually over by 6 o'clock, so there is ample time to prepare for 7 o'clock dinner. Most of the president's evenings have been devoted to work. Plan Made to Treat "Postmastering" as a Business Plan Made to Treat "Postmastering" as a Business PLANS by which the present method of presidential appointment of post-masters will be abolished and appointments made instead under the civil service are under consideration by the post office department. If Mr. Burle- postmastership a business which a man must first qualify for before receiving an appointment. It would make possible the promotion of a postmaster from a small office to a larger one, and instead of installing a postmaster for a four-year term to remain in one place he would be installed in the office he is best fitted for. If it were found that a postmaster serving in an office with receipts of $10,000 was qualified to serve in an office with receipts of $100,000 he would be in line for promotion to such an office. By this method the service, it is declared, would be improved and at the same time would be placed on a business basis and economies realized. The proposed change would affect 9,192 postmasters, the number now appointed by the president. Of these 557 are first class, 2,212 second class, 6,413 third class. Talented Sculptress Makes Bugs for Government PERSONALITY and achievement unite to make of Mrs. Mica Zesta Heidemann one of the most interesting figures in the galaxy of gifted women of the capital city. Of Danish birth, she studied sculpture under the ablest mas- wondrous beautiful, while others, in their magnified ugliness, are hideous beyond compare. Modest in the extreme, Mrs. Heidemann refused to see anything extraordinary in the unusual and clever samples of her art that are everywhere in evidence in her charming home at Forest Glen. "Usually I make only the bad bugs," Mrs. Heidemann explained, "the ones that are injurious to health and to the crops of the farmer and fruit grower. Never are any made for just their beauty or their good qualities. And they are of necessity made so scientifically as to be of value educationally. These models are used very largely in the agricultural colleges to impress upon the students the character of the insects and bugs of various kinds that prey upon the grains, fruits and vegetables and cause destruction of crops. Sometimes there are insects that combat such pests, and I make them, too. "The models of the bugs must be large enough so that the tiniest insect represented is seen in as much detail as if it were being observed in life under a strong glass." Asked of what material she made her bugs, Mrs. Heidemann replied: "Anything and everything. Of course, I have a composition which is my test secret, but the rule that guides me in choosing materials is to make them lifelike; so all sorts of materials are used. I study the bug, and anything that will make the big model look just as it looks in life, I use. After the drawing is made to suit me, then a skeleton must be made for permanency to build upon. "Into the construction of this go also many things, according to the nature of the insect—wire, metals, wax, hairs, thread, silk, celluloid, glass, rubber, plaster of paris, leather, several special kinds of gauzes, silvery powder and the composition; and the first thing is know the bug is done. Yes, it is tedious work; always weeks, sorteries months, are required in making some of the more difficult ones." volumes in other Asian tongues, according to Dr. Walter T. Swingle of the Library of Congress. The Chinese library in question is part of the Library of Congress, and is known as the Chinese collection of that institution. "We have not only one of the largest and probably the best arranged collections in Western countries, but are fortunate in possessing many very rare or very valuable works which would be highly prized even in China." de clared Doctor Swingle.

Plan Made to Treat "Post PLANS by which the present method masters will be abolished and app service are under consideration by the son's idea is made law it will take away from members of congress their influence in the selection of postmasters and remove from politics a subject of patronage the country over. Among many members of congress there is a strong sentiment for the law. The department, it is said, has been handicapped in some of its progressive measures because postmasters were chosen for their popularity rather than for their business ability. The plan proposed would make postmastership a business which a ming an appointment. It would make me from a small office to a larger one, and a four-year term to remain in one place is best fitted for.

When the conditions are normal at the White House the president has two means of relaxation other than playing billiards. He takes great delight in reading poetry aloud. The other form of amusement is the reading of detective stories.

There are said to be 800 uses for the palmya palm, which grows throughout tropical India. With care there is timber enough in the United States to last 444 years, according to a government expert.
