In Wa FREDERICK DOUG Whose memory will be celebrated at the day, February 14. D. R. H. ST. STEPHEN'S BAPTIST CHURCH The closing services of a series of meetings is held at the St. Stephens' Baptist church, will be held Sunday night. Next Sunday morning Dr. J. W. Hurse, the pastor, will preach the "Doctrinal" sermon and Sunday evening, per request of many who had been in attendance at these meetings, will preach "The Eagle Stirs Up Her Nest." Sunday, February 18, baptizing will be held at the close of the morning services. This series of meetings has indeed been an overwhelming success and much good has resulted therefrom. Miss Lulu Mai Butler, the "songbird of Texas," is still with us and hundreds are being inspired and revived by her wonderful voice. The most enjoyable affair witnessed in this city among the little folks was the party given last Saturday afternoon from 2 to 6 o'clock at Armory hall, Cottage and Vine streets, in honor of Miss Hurda Ashcrafta's eighth birthday anniversary. Sixty-two little girls and boys were present. The party was under the supervision of Mrs. Minnie Higginbotham, and many of the parents of the little guests assisted her in making the little folks happy. Dancing and games were indulged in and light refreshments served. A large number of beautiful and useful presents were received, among which was an initial bank account of $2 from Mrs. Ida Estes, all of which Miss Hurda is very thankful to her myriad of friends.

FRANKLIN BRAY EVANGELISTIC COMPANY. Last Sunday marked the opening of what gives promise of being the greatest religious awakening this section of Kansas has ever witnessed. Dr. H. Franklin Bray and his corps of workers arrived last Thursday and rested until Sunday morning, at which time the lines of battle were formed and the fight began. Four weeks of marching under the leadership of this wonderful general are before us and then the shout of complete victory will be heard from the mouths of the scores of redeemed and a mighty strengthened army. All pastors and their churches are co-operating and scores are being carried, way mighty for the lack of room. A great chorus is singing at each service and young and old are organized irrespective of race or denomination. Dr. Bray's greatest need everywhere he goes is a tabernacle, and we learn that he is having one built of canvas that will seat 1,500 people, and white and colored everywhere he goes are contributing liberally toward a fund to pay for it.

Despite the severe cold weather, about fifteen members attended the Choral society, which met at Mrs. Fannie Cater's residence, Thursday night. They are practicing for a concert to be given at St. Paul's chapel, February 16, and every one is very much interested. The weather prevented an attendance at church Sunday, February 4, and the program which was to have been rendered in observance of Young People's day will be given February 11. Mr. Dumleay of the Welfare board, will lecture in the morning and papers will be read and music furnished by pupils of Sumner high school, Sunday evening. A delightful surprise party was given for Mr. Evans by his wife in honor of the fifty-fifth birthday anniversary, February 1. Quite a few were present and all enjoyed themselves very much...The 4-months' old baby of Mr. and Mrs. Miller died Sunday and the funeral was conducted by Rev. Harris at the residence on Tuesday, February 6...Mrs. James Dabney is very sick...Mrs. William Freelain is indisposed. The Lincoln school pupils rendered a program at the high school on last Saturday afternoon. The proceeds went to purchase pictures for the building. The white schools rendered a program Friday and the pupils of both schools were permitted to sell tickets, so the pictures were distributed according to the disposal of the tickets. RESOLUTIONS FROM GILBERT TEMPLE NO. 97. Mrs. Sarah Daugherty departed this life January 22, 1917. Sister Daugherty was a loyal and devoted member and will be sadly missed in our hall. But the Lord giveth and taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lard. Another link is broken in our chain, But our loss is heaven's gain. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10. 1917. GARDEN-WEEK FEB. 11. IN OLD KENTUCKY QUEEN BESS THE GREAT PADDOCK SCENE MAGER MOUNTED ON QUEEN BESS, READY FOR THE RACE The world, astounded, gathers, yet doth wait The signal to give challenge to its pride. Its stealthy arms outspreading 'neath the tide. Strikes terror at each neutral nation's gate— But it shall die. Today is sealed its fate; America will fight on Freedom's side! Who for themselves fight not—the faithful ones To slay the Fiend that rends the earth with woes! R. C. J. RACE GIVEN THE GIFT OF SONG. The following gracious tribute is paid to the Colored race tribute in the January number of Record Book issued by the Columbia Graphophone company. "No voice ever given man has equaled in pathos the voice of the Negro. It seems almost as if the gift of singing has been given the Colored race to compensate for the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune." Surely no other race could sing such a hope song as "Good News, the Charlot's Coming" with such mixture of joy and pathos as the Fisk University Jubilee Quartette." Y. M. C. A. Notes The second game in the co-operative basketball league was played in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium last Friday between the Bethel church team and Western university. The university boys came out second best to the score of 12-19. Physical examinations for new members of the department started Friday, February 9. The boys will be examined first; then the men. Through the physical examinations, the proper exercises for each individual may be scientifically prescribed. As on other occasions, Dr. Sheafe instructed and delighted the men through song and eloquence on last Sunday at the Men's meeting. The subject, "The Signs of the Times," gave the doctor opportunity to impress anew those present with the words of the Book of God. Next Sunday, February 11, the religious service will take the form of a praise meeting and conference. At this time the chairman of the religious work will place before the men plans for a militant religious service in the city for the rest of the season. Ministers of the city are to have special services on Sunday, the closing day of the Father and Sons' week. All fathers should attend at least one service at some church with his son. HIGHLAND AVE. BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. S. Montgomery, D. D., pastor, preached an instructive sermon on the text, Matt. 16:18, and much helpful information was given out. At 8:30 p. m. Dr. Montgomery again preached an inspiring sermon. He is an educator of the ripest type. Hear him next Sunday. GARDEN-WEE HAVE WE A COUNTRY? "First in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of our countrymen," was said of General Washington. If shedding one's blood for the country establishes a claim as a citizen of that country, the Negro has a superior claim to the United States. (See Attuck's "The First Fall in the War for Independence." See Richard Wallace of Baltimore, the first to shed his blood for the United States after her break with Germany this week.) If anyone has any doubt as to the American Negro's country, or his unswerving loyalty to it, let him join the throng at LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL Wednesday, February 14, 1917, and hear what FREDERICK DOUGLASS did for this same country and what he has inspired and is still inspiring others to do. This occasion is the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Frederick Douglass. It is absolutely free and everybody is invited. TO BE A LINCOLN. Who'd be a Lincoln must be a great soul. Calm, strong and patient, with a loving heart; With wide-down vision to embrace the whole, Nor rest too long upon a petty part. A nation's leader, with a people rent In factions bitter and by hatred stirred. Can be like him, our martyred President, Only if deeds shall march behind his word. He waited, Lincoln, till the time was born, When it was well that he should strike his blow; He faced contumely and he endured scorn, But neither went too fast or went too slow. Who'd be a Lincoln must both speak and act; His hand must do what tongue has left undone; A Lincoln with his soul must make a pact To gain from force what kindness has not won. —Edward E. Van Zile in New York Sun. The Editor has been confined to his bed the latter part of the week with a severe and painful attack of tonsillitis, but, thanks to the skillful services of that prince of physicians, Dr. J. Edward Perry, he hopes to be out by Sunday. AUTOMOBILE TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NEGROES The A. A. A. Training School will open about March 1. The object of this school will be teaching the automobile and traction engine business to the young men of the Negro race by giving them instructions and practice on real automobiles and traction engines. The motor industry is becoming so great that young men must prepare to meet the demand. Competent mechanics are in great demand at good salaries. We will use no books, you wear overalls and use tools. Upon investigation we found that none of the various training schools throughout the country will accept Negroes as students and for this reason we are establishing this school for Negro students. The opening of our 1917 class will be stated in the next issue of this paper. This school will be equipped with all the modern and up-to-date equipment. A thorough course of Oxy-Acetylene Welding, Brazing and Vulcanizing will be taught by experts along these lines. In this school will be found all the various types of motor cars ranging from the twelve-cylinder down to the four. When a student finishes this school he will be capable of working on any car. We will also give special courses in driving to young men and wcmen. For further information regarding scholarship terms, etc., write the A. A. A. Training School, 1510 E. 18th Street. The following men are interested in the promotion of this enterprise: FORTUNE J. WEAVER, DR. MARTIN G. BROOKINS, JAMES A. DAVIS, ROCKEFELLE GIVES COLORED COLLEGES LARGE SUM. New York—Appropriations totaling $575,200 to American schools and colleges were announced here by the General Education board. The money, from the John D. Rockefeller fund, includes $100,000 to Cornell College, Iowa; $150,000 to DePauw University, Indiana, and $125,000 to Sworthmore College, Pennsylvania. For Negro education, $197,500 is appropriated. Fisk University, Tennessee, received $50,000; Spelman Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., $85,000, and sums ranging from $2,000 to $7,500 are given to small institutions in Southern states, together with $40,000 to be devoted to instruction among Negroes in rural districts in the South. The Arkansas State Department of Education receives $2,700 for the support of a rural school agent. LINCOLN. NEBRASKA Mrs. I. B. Smith spent several days with her sister in Beatrice this week.....A.

(By Della H. Mosee.) Last Sunday was a severely cold day. Many were unable to attend service. However, the faithful attendants were present and received the benefit of the excellent sermon delivered by Dr. Thomas. There was one addition. After class Tuesday night, January 30, the annual election of trustees was held. It is hoped that many fathers and sons have gained everlasting advantage during the week set aside for their spiritual benefit and that as many as can will attend the service at Allen Chapel Sunday morning, February 11, when a special sermon will be delivered to them. Those who cannot get out to the morning service should attend the evening service which begins at 7:45. The Christian Endeavors of the church are doing excellent work toward the uplift of all who attend their meetings. The Sunday school campaign has been the means of bringing many children into the Sunday school. The Grand Recital given by Maude Cuney Hare and Wm. H. Richardson surpassed the expectations of its most ardent patrons The committee of which Mrs. Francis J. Dawley is chairman deserve the highest commendation for their uniting efforts in making the affair a success. DEATH OF BERYL LEWIS. DEATH OF BERYL LEWIS. Beryl Lewis, one of Kansas City's old residents, passed away suddenly last Friday evening after a prolonged illness of several years at the age of 51 years.

New York - Hampton University's crack basket ball team went down to defeat before St. Christopher Red and Blach machine here last Friday evening by a score of 25 to 19. The Virginians led most of the way and looked all over like winners, when their coach broke up his winning combination by substitutions permitting the parish house boys to take the lead. Notes.

M. E. church basket ball quintet stepped one notch higher in the race for basket ball honors. JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. The lecture which was delivered in Bethel Baptist Church, under the auspices of the Jacksonville Poro club. Mrs. V. Huiln president, was largely attended and enjoyed. The choir of Bethel, Prof. J. M. Robinson directing, obliged all with timely musical selections. Miss Eartha M. M. White, president of the Old Folks Home Association and of the City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, delivered a cordial address of welcome, and a fitting response was made by Mrs. Henry Baxter, on behalf of the Poro club. Mrs. Cora B. Heard, with Prof. J. M. Robinson at the piano, rendered a majestic solo, winning the greatest applause, and on encore to which she gracefully responded. Mrs. Hulin introduced Madame Pope Turnbo Malone, her husband and party of three, of St. Louis. Mo., and afterward the visitors were individually introduced by Mr. Malone, who afterward lectured in a most entertaining manner, followed by Madame Malone. Madame Malone and party were received with generous applause. The Jacksonville Poro club, to the surprise of many, has a membership of about thirty ladies, and all were present last night at the lecture, making themselves a committee to see after affairs, and give a rounded welcome to their tutelary head, and the founder of Poro College, in St. Louis. Mr. Malone is a most interesting talker. He stated that this was his first time to visit Florida, and he and party were more than gratified at what they had met. The admission tee of 10 cents to the lecture was divided between Bethel Baptist church and the Old Folks' home. The pictures shown were varied, including the main buildings and departments in Poro college, distinguished men and women of the race, the summer public school of St. Louis, colored Y. M. C. A. buildings in several of the great cities, the most noted business establishments of colored men in this country, and other scenes of much interest. Madame Malone spoke briefly, but with real interest to the women of her race, and what was the great aim of the Poro college, what it has done, and is doing in the way of real uplift. Tonight, in St. Paul's A. M. E. church, Madame Malone and party will give another lecture, and their illustrations will include the meeting of the general conference of the A. M. E. Church in Philadelphia last May, and that of the A. M. E. Church in St. Louis, Mo. All are invited. BINGA DESMOND DEFEATS TED MEREDITH. Crack Western Runner Bests Arch Rival in Great Indoor Meet Held in Chicago. Chicago, Ill., Feb. 1.—Binga Diamond, the speedy runner of the University of Chicago, showed the renowned Ted Meredith a clean pair of heels in the "special 440," in the Second Regiment games held here last Saturday evening. The time for the race was 52 seconds, a full second slower than the time made in the Suburban Quarter run in New York last February, with the same result. Diamond appeared in exceptionally fine fettle after his long stretch of idleness, and held his field safe all the way. True to the usual custom of the Windy City speed marvel, he got away to a good start at the crack of the gun, and in a few seconds was pounding the boards in true Dismond fashion. Meredith was out-paced, and had no chance with the pompadoured midway man. Numerous curious and ridiculous superstitions as to methods of preventing disease were believed in years ago, and are not altogether extinct even today, it is said. Much ancient faith clustered about the mandrake root, which was carved in the form of a doll, dressed in fine clothes, and kept in a box or coffin concealed in some corner of the house. Each month it was washed in wine and water and freshly garbed. Another universal cure was to carry a piece of mistletoe which had been cut from a tree by a golden sickle and caught in a white vessel as it fell. Metal scraped from a church bell or a piece of the rope was supposed to have a similar protective influence against disease, as also a cloth stained in the blood of the murderer, or the rope with which he was hanged. last week by defeating the Western university team. The proteges of Coach Woods came from behind in the last three minutes of play and nosed out the Jayhawkers in the first of the three-game series. It is said that this was the most sensational game seen on the "V" court this season; was clean, fast and hard fought. The excellent passing, team work and accurate shooting of Captain White of W. U., and Burns of Bethel, kept the spectators' interest and yelling at a high pitch. Western's sturdy guard, Waltes, was ruled out of the game by the personal foul rule, replaced by Hall, who failed to guard closely a man so dangerous as Burns, who immediately tied the score. 9-9. For the remaining three minutes it was fun for Burns to dribble away from Hall and gracefully drop the ball in the basket. Referee Austin, Scorer—A. Hardy, Timekeeper—Grant Moore. This week Western University plays the strong Lawrence Athletes of Lawrence, Kas. Garrison Square basket ball team has defeated more teams by disappointment than any other team in the basket ball business. GREED MET PROPER REBUKE Incident on Street Car a Case of Righteous Retribution and Some Embarrassment. The day was stormy and the car carried only a limited number of passengers. The Woman Who Saw spied a shining coin glistening on the floor. just. Front of a fashionably dressed woman who might have posed for a "Daily Hint From Paris," so faultless was her get up, despite the rainy day. Everythi. bespoke influence and reckless expenditure, and the necessity to add to her probable store of ready money was not apparent. However, she was eyeing the coin as a cat does a mouse, ready to pounce on it at the first favorable opportunity. Simultaneously the gaze of a dapper elderly gentleman, seated next the Woman Who Saw, lightened upon the glittering object. It would have been an easy matter to have stooped and possessed himself of it, but the eagle eye of his fellow passenger followed his every movement, betraying her desire to appropriate the coveted prize. After a few seconds of irresolution he reached down and literally grabbed the lucky find. Opening his closed hand he took one glance at the treasure. A peculiar expression crossed his face, and his fingers closed tightly again. This was too much for the well-dressed woman, who could restrain herself no longer; greed took possession of her, and leaning forward she addressed the finder in icy accents: "Pardon me, sir, that belongs to me. I just dropped it." With a courteous bow the gentleman replied: "Permit me to restore your property, madam," and he placed in the immaculate gloved hand, now eagerly extended, a shining tobacco tag. WILL ATTRACT THE TOURIST City of Guayaquil Making a Bid for Travelers Who Delight in the Picturesque. Ecuador will soon be ready for a greater business with the world and for the tourist. Guayaquil, the country's chief port, is now undergoing a thorough sanitizing. Streets are being modernized, and otherwise the city is improving. The ancient capital of Ecuador, Quito, lies nearly 300 miles by railway from Guayaquil. A few tourists have used the new railway "along the roof of the world" and visited the interesting old city. Guayaquil lies up the Guayas river 60 miles from the ocean, so the average ship passenger does not even secure a passing view of the second port of importance on the west coast of South America. However, on clear days, when the ship is not many miles from shore, it is possible to sight Cotopaxi or Chimborazo, the former sending to the sky a smoky column from its snow-white cone. Northward $40 miles we sight the foliage-bedecked islands in the Bay of Panama, and shortly thereafter drop anchor near the entrance to the world's greatest canal. From a Great Diary. Evelyn, the great diarist and courtier, is blind to many things which his readers would gladly have had him notice and record. He tells us nothing of the condition of the mass of the people, rarely speaks of poor persons or servants, rarely mentions the clothes he wore or the food he ate, never, at any rate, with that pleasure of memory unashamed which gives such details the smack of life in Pepys or Boswell. He never gossips; tells us little of his neighbors' vices, and nothing of their follies; would assuredly not have recorded, if there had been any such matters to record, his wife's jealousy of his attentions to her mind; gives no such touches or rude veracity as that of Pepys' sister, for whom a husband must be found at once as "she grows old and ugly," or that of poor Mr. Pechell, "whose red nose makes me ashamed to be seen with him, though otherwise a good-natured man."

CARTOONIST'S RISE TO FAME Louis Raemekers Probably the Best Known of Artists Who Teach With the Pen. Hidden away in an obscure studio in a London suburb, with a price upon his head (offered by Germany) Louis Raemekers has made the whole world shudder with his cartoons of the great war. A year and a half ago he was an unknown Dutch landscape artist. Today he is acclaimed the greatest master of pen and pencil of the age; he has been fed by royalty, sought by German spies and charged with endangering Dutch neutrality. By the usually reserved and frequently skeptical Englishman he is frankly idolized; and all because he has pictured German "kulture" and its dire effects. His cartoons are now the rage of the hour in New York, where an exhibit of originals is being given for the benefit of the French Red Cross. Louis Raemekers was born in Holland of a Dutch father and a German mother. When quite young he studied painting and drawing in Holland and Brussels, and before the war began he had established a local reputation as a landscape and portrait painter. Some years ago he married a Dutch woman, and it is now said by those who know him that he has no interest outside his home, which includes three ruddy children, except to go on with his work. The strong religious tendency which so often characterizes his work has brought forth the question of what church the artist attends. His reply is that he belongs to none, but was brought up a Catholic and his wife a Protestant, and the differences which in later life severed both from their early teaching caused them to meet on common ground.

F. C. EMBLEM. Mrs. Vernon Castle, star of International's serial of patriotism and romance, "Patria," released by Pathe, the first episode of which will be a feature at the New Vine Street theater Sunday, is mourning the loss of a gold emblem of the British Royal Flying corps, of which her husband is a member. At the completion of one of the scenes at Newport, R. L. Mrs. Castle missed the emblem, which she had worn constantly since it was presented to her by her husband. The loss was reported to the police of Newport, who are making every effort to find it. Mr. Castle recently sent to his wife one of the caps which he wore for several months as a member of the Royal Flying corps. She has made it a part of the "Caste preparedness suit," which she recently designed. ACCORDING TO SCRIPT Richard Stewart, who plays the part of Edouard in the International serial "Patria," released by Pathe, with Mrs. Vernon Castle in the title role, was seen limping along Broadway looking rather woe begone. "What's the matter, Dick?" asked an acquaintance. "You don't look over-cheerful for a fellow with a fat part in a big show." "The fat part in a big show is all right," wailed Stewart, "but it has its drawbacks." "Nothing wrong. Everything correct and according to scenario and director's orders. Mrs. Castle knocks me down a flight of stairs yesterday with her grandfather's clock and throws the heirloom on top of me. I'm bumped and bruised all over by the time I reach the bottom and the spots on my body that escape punishment get their good and plenty from Milton Sills, who is waiting at the bottom for that purpose, and tramps all over me. Lobk m. this lump on my head! On boy, I'm sore all over." And Stewart climbed on his way. Get your Goldfish, Globes, Birdcages and all other supplies from OLD BIRD 406 E. 12th St. CO.

MISSOURI PACIFIC IRON MOUNTAIN The Gates of Egypt The Nabataean temple in Petra, Jordan. ROCK TEMPLE AT PETRA T IS significant to note how, when the world is at war, history rec resents a time of great change. of this occurred in the threatened invasion of Egypt. Once again, in the course of history, the landward gate, the Asiatic approach to the Nile valley, was about to be forced by invaders. Once more the oldest road listened to the tramp of armed hosts and watched nations at death-grips for the mastery of that fertile strip of land. Throughout the ages, at periodical times, this same drama has been enacted. Separating Africa from Asia, Egypt from Palestine, is the peninsula of Sinai and the desert of Et Tih. In the south it is a rugged region of sandstone crags; northwards it shelves into a featureless limestone desert, finally melting into the lowlying sand dunes that border the Mediterranean, says Douglas Carruthers, writing in Country Life. This is the barrier that has stood throughout time as Egypt's eastern frontier and is so full of reminiscences. In early days all who "went down to Egypt" used this desert route. The now-deserted track was once the scene of busy traffic and great enterprise. An immense trade passed and repassed across the desert. Constant intercourse, both political and commercial, must have been kept up between those two great centers of the then known world, the Nile and the Euphrates. The colossal and unwieldy armies of the ancients moved to and fro along this highway, apparently without inconvenience. The Egyptians fought in Syria and the Babylonian kings warred against Egypt. Many a migrating horde of nomads has swept across Sinai, swarming in almess, restless ROCK TEMPLE movements from Asia and Africa Abraham and Jacob must have known it well in their frequent journeys between the Land of Goshen and Beersheba. Once a Great World Highway. Once a Great World Highway. Whole volumes, indeed, could be written on the ancient history of this junction of two continents. This would not concern us, except for the fact that the conditions have altered, and a glance back may serve as a comparison. That this zone of country which is today stricken with barrenness, scarcely inhabited, rarely passed over and actually forming a problem for an army to tackle successfully, was once the great highway of the world shows the change that must have taken place. Not only was there much traffic, but the region itself was of greater fertility than it is now. Consequently, it was comparatively well populated. Where a few half-starved Bedouins wander dwelt the powerful and numerous Amalekites. The existence of many an ancient town of from 5,000 to 10,000 inhabitants is today only disclosed by fallen colonnades, ruined churches and castles. In the days when the lands of Moab and Edom were flourishing districts characterized, at different periods, by fine cities, renowned temples, Persian palaces and Christian churches; when the great trunk road ran from Damascus southwards through Bosra, Jerash and Petra to Akaba, bifurcating to the Mediterranean, to Egypt and to Arabia; in those days Sinai could have presented no difficulties to the traveler, it must have been a popular and much-used highway. The rise and fall of Petra, the romantic, rock-hewn city of the Nabateans, also indicates the varying fortunes of this country. Petra was situated at the junction of several important roads to Egypt from the north. It owed its existence entirely to com- HAVE GOOD READING MATTER In These Days There Is Little Reason Why Home Should Not Be Supplied With the Best. Every home should be well supplied with reading matter of the right kind, and in these days of free libraries one has the wealth of master minds at his or his command. There are no one need offer any excuse for not having good reading matter always on hand. Young people live in a world of dreams. Life to them appears all light and gayety, but the parents of growing boys and girls know that all is not gold that glistens, and if these parents are going to help their children along life's way they certainly will not permit them to form false ideals through questionable reading. Do not be afraid to revive a few of the "old-fashioned ideas about training children." Those ideas have stood the rest of time and are sterling through and through. Know all about the books and papers that come into your home, and if you find that they are not conducive to right thinking, assert merce which passed through it. It was a great warehouse—an emporium—supported by a numerous shifting population. The size of the city attests its ancient wealth and importance, while its celebrity as a capital shows that it was not off the track, but directly on one of the most important lines of communication of its day. Buins and Sterile Sand. Ruins and Sterile Sand. All the region to the south of Petra is marked with ruins which stage the great road to Akaba. Akaba itself, where Solomon established a naval base and maintained a busy port, which Egyptian, Roman and Greek struggled for and held in turn is now reduced to a group of mud houses and the remains of a fort. Gaza, on the Mediterranean side of the desert, used to be considered the key to the approach to Palestine. It was much in evidence in early days. Gaza had the presumption to hold out against the invincible hosts of Alexander, and actually withstood a two-months' siege. Nowadays, the sterility of the country forbids ordinary intercourse between Egypt and Palestine. Caravans of pilgrims make organized crossings of the desert, and occasional camel dealers come this way. But the great roads have fallen into oblivion. Only two recognized tracks remain in use, namely, the pilgrim route between Akaba and Suez and the coastal road which runs from Gaza, through Rafa and El Arish, to El Kantara on the Suez. The area between these roads is a howling wilderness; without reliable water supply. The respective qualities of these two approaches to Egypt are of interest. Generally speaking, the northern portion of the area is open, but sandy; PLE AT PETRA the central is hard but poorly watered, while the southern is difficult rock country. The choice falls between the central and the northern. In the old days, a favorite road must have been the hard and direct route running from Akaba to Suez, across the heart of the peninsula. Even now there are serious obstacles on this road; the surface is hard, not sandy; the altitude_1s for the most part high, and therefore the atmosphere is cool. Indeed, considering the proximity of the Hedjaz railway, which passes at a distance of 60 miles from Akaba, it might be supposed that this route would be used by an invading force. The possibility of running a light railway from Malan or Akabatesh-Shamie to Akaba and thence across the peninsula is seriously affected by the fact that Akaba is under the control of the power that commands the sea. There is also that sharp escarpment to the west of Akaba which is not easily negotiated. The coast road is the one that leads direct to Egypt, and in spite of the dunes and bad lands of that unhealthy maritime belt of swamp and sand, it was sure to be used. Gaza and Beersheba are the points at which troops could be concentrated for the venture. The old Roman road led from Gaza close along the seashore to Pelusium—now a flooded marsh. The modern track runs parallel to this, but about two to three miles inland. At Zaca, halfway to El Arish, the true desert commences, but the "going" is not troublesome until Arish is approached. At El Arish water is procurable in considerable quantity. Napoleon considered it sufficient to supply the needs of 20,000 men. Beyond Arish is the critical stage, waterless and sandy for 65 miles. In fact, it is probable that from Arish onwards all wells have been rendered useless, and that for about 120 miles the invading army must be self-supporting. your authority by quickly gathering them together and throwing them into the kitchen range.

"Taking tea in China we drink from the little handleless cups," says an American visitor to a Chinese household "many times through the meal, without sugar on cream, enjoying the last as much as the first cup—the reason being that it is properly made. The right quantity of tea leaves is placed in a hot pot, and the right amount of boiling water is turned over them. Three to five minutes is allowed for infusion, then the beverage is strained into another hot pot, and, behold, we have Chinese tea." A judges' stand for race tracks that is revolved by an electric motor is the idea of a Kentucky inventor. THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 10. 1917 FOR GOOD MOLASSES CANDY Recipe for Delicacy That Tastes Exceptionally Fine on Evenings When Weather Is Cold. Pour into a kettle that will hold about four times the amount to be used the quantity of molasses of "good quality" that is required for the purpose. Boll over a "slow" fire for about one-half hour. Attend to stirring all of the time" while the "kettle is over the fire," and "take the kettle off the fire if there is danger of the contents running over." Watch carefully this process of boiling so as not to allow the molasses to burn. When a little dropped in cold water becomes hard and brittle (make test with spoon by dropping a little into cold water, add a teaspoonful of carbonate of soda (common baking soda), free from lumps, to every two quartes of the boiling molasses. Stir quickly so as to thoroughly mix and then pour on platter or platters that have been well greased beforehand. When sufficiently cool pull back and forth, the hands being greased by rubbing them with butter usually. Work the candy until it becomes a yellowish brown color. If wished it may be flavored with vanilla or lemon. I like it best without flavoring other than its own—molasses—and prefer adding a small piece of butter instead of carbonate of soda. Keep the hands well moltened (dip occasionally in a dish of cold water). This makes greasing them unnecessary. USE FOR OLD TABLECLOTH May Be Made Over Into Serviceable, Pretty Breakfast and Luncheon Sets, Says Writer. A tablecloth that has seen its best days may be pressed into further service by making the better part into a breakfast or luncheon set. The number of pieces to be secured depends upon the size and condition of the cloth; mine was a good one to start with. I cut a square 14 by 14 inches for a table center. From the selvage side I cut a piece 39 by 17 for a serving-table slip, fringing three sides; six dolies 11 by 11 inches and six 6 by 6 inches. I got several odd-sized dolies for dishes. I fringed all of these pieces one inch deep. My set has been much admired, and has saved my more expensive sets many trips to the washtub. It has been in active service a year and with care will last another, and cost me nothing but my time one wet afternoon.—Woman's Home Companion. Spice Cakes With Chocolate Sauce. Spice Bakes with Chocolate Sauce. For the cakes, cream together two tablespoonfuls of shortening with half a cupful of brown sugar and add half a cupful of dark molasses, one teaspoonful each of ground ginger, chaninon and grated nutmeg and half a teaspoonful of ground allspice. Mix well; add one teaspoonful of baking soda dissolved in three-quarters of a cupful of thick, soured milk and sufficient slifted flour to form a good cake batter. It should "ribbon" from the spoon. Bake in well-greased cup cake pans in a moderate oven. Yorkshire Parkin One pound of medium-cooked oatmeal, three ounces of dripping, molasses, one-half pound of brown sugar, one-half ounce of ground ginger and one-half teaspoonful of salt. Mix the salt with the outmeal and rub in the fat. Add the sugar and ground ginger. Mix to a stiff dough with molasses. Roll out half an inch thick, cut into squares and bake on a greased tin for 20 minutes. The oven should be hot. Parsnip Rolls. Boil two large parsnips until tender and press through a colander, add four cupfuls of hot milk, a teaspoonful of salt, quarter of a cupful of lard, one yeast cake mixed with a quarter of a cupful of sugar and enough flour to make a stiff batter. Raise to twice its original size. Knead. Cut into small strips, roll once, let raise for ten minutes and bake 20 minutes. Fried Tomatoes Wash and wipe ripe tomatoes. Cut in three or four slices. Dip into flour, which has been seasoned with salt and pepper. Fry in fat (bacon fat is best) until brown on both sides. Have a little milk heating, and when the tomatoes have been taken out pour into the fat, and when boiling thicken with a little flour mixed in cold water. Pour this gravy over the tomatoes. French Bean Soup. One pint of white beans, two or three onions sliced, salt, six or eight quarts water. Boll hard so beans will go to pieces; add three or four pounds fore-quarter lamb, cut small and fat removed. In time to cook add one quart potatoes and two carrots cut in dice. Time of cooking whole, about four hours. This is a fine dinner for cold weather. Do Not Skin for Baking. Do not skin tomatoes for baking or stuffing. Raw tomatoes, with the pulp removed and then chilled, make the best of salads when filled with almost any diced vegetable. For lunch or supper the cavity may be filled with a stuffed or plain boiled egg. Set on a lettuce-leaf or two, and pour over a spoonful of mayonnaise or French dressing. Corn Cakes Bake on griddle, turning frequently until well baked. Do not make too thick. Scall one cupful of cornmeal by pouring two cupfuls of boiling water over the meal. Beat well, cool and add one teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, two teaspoonfuls of shortening; mold into thin cakes and bake as directed. Health Bread. Pour over one cupful rolled oats three cupfuls boiling water, good one-half cupful molasses, one tablespoonful lard, one dessertspoon salt. Let cool and add yeast cake dissolved in cold water. Add bread flour, until it can be kneaded. Bake one hour and ten minutes. Fads And Fancies of Fashion If you are about to order a new suit for general wear, you will find an unusual state of things in the matter of styles. There is a sort of go-as-you please situation, and you may have your coat long or short, and your skirt wide or narrow at the bottom. The tailor cannot dictate, because from the For very little girls plain, white sheer fabrics are made up with fine lingerie laces as usual, in dresses for all their "dress-up" occasions.

I I I PRACTICAL DEMI-SEASON SUITS. standpoint of fashionableness one thing is not better than another. No one knows just why this state of things has come about, but it may be because no such attention has been given to sports suits and one-piece frocks that the tailor suit has been somewhat neglected by costumers. They refuse to make predictions, and women are left the joyful liberty of choosing whatever style is most becoming. Plain goods are always worn, and checks in very pretty color combinations have already appeared in smart models. Inasmuch as the tailored suit will give way to the sports suit, which X A A will take its place whenever there is the least excuse for doing so, the tailored suit may be quiet as to color and conservative as to style. In the picture a shepherd's check and a plain cloth are presented as sensible models for the demi-season. And even if a decided style tendency develops on these suits will hold their own, for they are built to fulfill all that is required in practical street clothes. Lent is not far away, and that means that time will soon bring leisure to devote to spring sewing. New fabrics and styles for the coming season are already presented.

Plain linen in colors (usually combined with white in the bodice) is a favorite for daily wear, and gingham holds its own as the best of fabric for play dresses. L Nearly all the new styles are rather plain, with plaits featured in skirts and the bodice wholly or in part made of a white cotton material. For a girl of eleven years or so this combination of materials has been handed with excellent taste in the dress shown in the picture. Cotton poplin or any of the moderately heavy weaves will prove a good selection in the striped material, and the white in the bodice might be of a thinner goods, as India linen or percale or batiste.

The waists for spring are unusually snappy in style and show a wider range of colors than formerly, says the Dry Goods Economist. This is especially true of blouses to be worn with sports suits or with stylish separate skirt of the better kind, AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The league deserves far more attention A woman has been appointed assistance and support from the public-spirant attorney general of Colorado. In New York, as here in Chicago, and nearly everywhere else, the poorer and weaker part of the Negro population is forced to live in the most insanitary tenements and in districts or on streets to whose cleanliness, healthfulness and moral conditions both property owners and the city administration are most indifferent and careless. It is these neglected and self-neglected districts, in most of which criminals of both races mingle, and disorderly resorts patronized by each are not only permitted to exist, but are forced upon the people, that become the harboring places and the very breeding spots of vice and crime These conditions thus dangerously tolerated threaten to become more menacing with the sudden and increasing influx of southern Negroes into Chicago. They will include a smaller element of the worse with a much larger element of the better people of their race. But the pity and the peril will be that both are likely to be crowded together in the already overcrowded and neglected "black belt" of the South side and its offshoot on the West side. The police and the health department should not be left alone, either to prepare for or deal with this impending situation. At their best they cannot be expected to do either. Personal interest, private initiative, voluntary agencies and co-operative effort must be relied upon to grapple with this problem in advance and as it develops. For this grappling the Daily News has led the way by the timely facts, figures, descriptions and suggestions of Junius B. Wood in his recently published helpful series of articles on the Negro population of Chicago. Their reprint in pamphlet form will greatly aid the effort to promote the understanding and improvement of the conditions of Negro life and labor in Chicago. Fortunately this effort is to be made by the agency best qualified to undertake the task. It is the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. This league consists of able representatives of both races, who have organized to secure the co-operation of all agencies to promote the improvement of Negro life and labor, to protect their women and children, to fit their workers for efficient work, to train and enlist Negro social workers for boys' and girls' clubs, neighborhood centers, probation work, playground direction and for the prevention and relief of dependency, to investigate conditions of city life as a basis for practical work to improve the urban conditions of Negro populations. This national league is now moving to form such a local branch in Chicago as has been successfully established in New York, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Memphis, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and elsewhere. Among those Chicago citizens who have responded to the call of T. Arnold Hill, national organizer of the league, are Judge Julian W. Mack, Dr. George C. Hall, Miss S. P. Breckinridge, Judge Edward O. Brown, Mrs. Jesse Johnson, Horace J. Bridges, Mrs. Joanna Snowden Dorter and A. L. Jackson, together with Jane Addams and Dr. C. E. Bentley, national directors. This local league hopes to ally 400 Negro organizations—religious social, philanthropic, industrial, recreational and educational—in co-operative efforts for their own race. It expects to investigate conditions of employment, housing, delinquency, recreation, education and public administration as they affect the Negro population. In its recent article by Junius B. Wood and in editorial comment on those articles, the Chicago Daily News has called attention to the injury done the colored race by its exploitation at the hands of unscrupulous political leaders, who as a means of gaining power for themselves give jobs to unworthy colored men whom they control, the result of the practice being injurious to the colored race as a whole. It is a pleasure to record the honoring of a different type of representative of the colored race. Col. Franklin A. Denison, who has been appointed an assistant to Attorney General Brundage, stands on his own high character and meritorious achievements. He has striven to help the colored race forward, not to drag it down. His career as a useful citizen not only reflects credit upon the colored race, but furnishes to ambitious youths of that race an example of the way to win deserving success. The general public must commend such an appointment as that of Mr. Denison to a position on the staff of the attorney general of the state. It must continue to condemn efforts of A St. Louis lumber company with several different plants has them all in constant communication with each other by means of the wireless system.

No man would even expect of you that which God counts upon your doing. At a recent reunion of persons who had attended last summer's Victorious Life conference at Princeton, a young man gave as his testimony: "I give thanks for the wonderful work that God has given me to do. Don't misunderstand me," he added; "I didn't say I was doing a wonderful work; but he's given me a won- ited citizens of Chicago than the few agencies, such as the Frederick Douglass Center and the Wendell Phillips Settlement, the Y. M. C. A. and the missions and churches, have yet received. Not only for the benefit of the Negro population, but for the safety and progress of the city as a whole, this league should rally to its equipment and direction, its growth and efficiency, both the personal and financial resources adequate to this end. It should be organized in time to be represented at the national conference on Negro migration to be held in New York city January 26 at the Russell Sage Foundation building. It will thoroughly discuss the causes and consequences of the migration, the present condition of those migrating and what is to be done to aid the Negroes' adjustment to their new environment.—Chicago Daily News. There is no good reason why more of our children should not be in school and remain there for a greater length of time than has been the case. Not only are our rural schools failing to receive the proper consideration at the hands of those who should be most vitally concerned, but our secondary educational institutions are not being utilized and developed as they should be. It seems but logical to conclude in the face of foregoing statistics that many of us are showing the unwisdom of commercializing the most important years of the life of our children at the sacrifice of their future welfare. It is a crime against humanity to take the youth of a race and put it to hard commercial labor just when it should be utilizing the advantages for educational development and preparation for future usefulness. Texas has taken a step forward in passing a compulsory education law. Although it may seem a reflection on a people that they should be forced to enact a law compelling themselves to give their children a chance to fit themselves for life, yet it would be worse than a reflection upon the state if it suffered its youth to grow up in ignorance and unpreparedness. Nothing will do more to complicate the already perplexing problems facing the people than for the people themselves to indulge in the criminally inexperienced policy of depriving the future citizens of the state of a chance to qualify themselves for citizenship. We as a race must quit living to much in the future and begin to live more for the future. Selfishness always brings its consequent evil. It is pure selfishness for any parent to take the school hours, school years of his child and turn them to a manger—this is all it could be—material profit.

When once the South shall have enabled its 10,000,000 Negroes to become generally efficient, intelligent, thrifty, self-reliant and independent, the fabric of southern industry will rest upon an everlasting foundation and the South will have solved in a spirit of Christian benevolence a problem which has baffled the ages. These are some things that the white citizenry of the South and the Negroes should never forget, and their importance will become palpably impressed upon the minds of the thinking people of both races before long, when our immigration problems, due to restrictions and to the effect of the war, assume new and more complex phases.—Houston (Texas) Post.

EDITORIALS The "Gentleman" from Stoddard county, way down by Arkansas, has introduced a drastic jim crow bill into the Missouri general assembly, but the colored Democrats won't let the bill pass. The item of appropriation for the support of the Negro Girls reformatory at Tipton, has been reduced upon the theory, no doubt, that it isn't worth while doing anything noticeable for the benefit of the black folks. If it should come to actual war between this country and Germany, it will be found that the lowly, despised black man will be among the foremost in offering up his life for the flag which means so little to him in time of peace. MUST RAISE THEIR RATES Publishers Compelled to Ask More for Advertising Space Because of High Cost of Paper. Members of the Missouri Press Association, at a called meeting in the Planters' Hotel the other afternoon, unanimously adopted a resolution requesting Attorney General McAllister to investigate an alleged paper combine, which they say has more than doubled the price of print paper in the last year. The association also unanimously adopted a resolution presented by Fred Naeter of Cape Girardeau that the papers raise their subscription and advertising rates at once because of the great increase in the cost of materials. Naeter said the raise in paper prices is driving many useful papers out of business. The motto for an investigation was made by William R. Painter of Carrollton, Mo. Painter, in his speech urging the motion, declared that as a successful investigation of the large packing plants was carried on, he saw no reason why the same thing could not be done with the paper houses. He declared he would rather pay seven cents a pound for paper than yield to their demands. A fiery speech was made by George H. Scruton, editor of Sedalia Democrat. "The jobbers are getting rich by skim money from us like candy from children," he declared. "There's an illegal combination here." He demanded an investigation. When Southern told him the Department of Justice would like to have any facts he possessed, Scruton stated he had expressed his belief, but had no proof. A motion was adopted asking the state legislature to establish a state paper mill.

The latest scientific support for the Mosaic code is perhaps not a very great matter, but it is immensely interesting, writes the medical correspondent of the London Times. In the last issue of the British Journal of Surgery there appears a paper describing the appearances of certain blood cells in malignant disease (cancer). The author is a well-known observer. Certain peculiarities of the cells of the blood were noted by him in cancer cases, and it then occurred in him that these changes might also be produced by taking certain articles of diet. He carried out various tests, and the following is his conclusion: "It was found that one can reproduce the blood picture of carcinoma (cancer) in respect to the nuclear pseudopods by partaking of certain articles of food—notably pork, and to a less extent other red meats." He adds: "Incidentally, these observations suggest the physiological reason for the dietary imposed upon the Hebrew race (Gen. 9, 4; Lev. 11)." While no hurried conclusions must be arrived at on the strength of what is, after all, only a very small item in the picture of the disease, it is yet fair comment that "since one phase of the blood picture produced by circulating toxins of malignant disease can be imitated by ingestion of highly nitrogenous food (i. e. pork, etc.), it suggests that long-continued overuse of the same may form an advantageous substratum for the subsequent development of the disease . . . This statement has only a speculative value." The passage Leviticus runs: "And the swine, though he divide the hoof and be cloven-footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you." Explaining Himself "That depends on the point of view." "Oh, the point of view is eminently satisfactory, so far as I am concerned, I was just speaking on general principles."—Exchange. Retort Courteous "You are getting quite bald, sir," remarked the fresh barber. "Yes," rejoined the victim in the chair, "but if my head ever gets as soft as yours I'll raise hair to sell." Betty & Sam's Little Corner FOR BEAUTIFU A THEY SAY —That it makes no difference to some people how they get their money just so they get it. —That it is never hard to do right but in making up one's mind to do so is where the tug comes. —That if another shining parlor is opened on 18th street, some sister will sho' miss her poke chops. —That "talk is cheap" when it is about yourself, but sometimes is expensive when about the other fellow. —That if you want to see a man excited just let his wife come along while he is having a tete-a-tete with some girl. —That if the young man who allowed his wedding invitations to be issued had known his own mind, then he would not now be afraid to go down the street. NOW A NATION OF 102,826,309 United States Has Made Great Gaine in Population Despite European War. The wars are costing the United States in this decade 3,000,000 in immigrants, yet we are gaining in numbers somewhat faster than in the last decade, or so the census bureau estimate of population for January 1, 1917, would indicate. It is 102,826,309, or, including the islands, 113,309,285. The end of the year completes two-thirds of the decade and shows a gain of not quite 11,000,000, observes the New York World. A total of 108,000,000 or more may be expected in 1920. If peace had continued, a gain of nearly 20,000,000 would not have been impossible. To New York the census bureau assigns for six and two-thirds years more than twice the gain the state census allowed for five years; it is doubtless nearer the truth. By 1920 the empire state should reach 11,000,000. At the present rate Pennsylvania should increase 1,240,000 in ten years. California 900,000, Texas 864,000, and Illinois $23,000. California has already about as many people as declared their independence in 1776. The Emperor Claudius took a census of 6,945,000 Romans—men only. That may have meant in all 20,000,000 citizens. Gibbon thought slaves and provincials might have made an empire total of 120,000,000, but it was a generous guess. The British, Chinese and Russian empires now surpass the United States in total numbers; none equals it in the number of educated and energetic whites—unless we count as a single power the vast Germanic system which reaches from Antwerp to Bagdad under the rule of Berlin. COUNT TUNNELS BY MILES Underground Workings of Anthracite Coal Mines a Constant Source of Expense to Owners. Anthracite coal mines in this country have over 7,000 miles of tunnels. Of these, 2,000 are in the Schuylkill region, which ships about 28 per cent of the total anthracite production. In the Lehigh and Wyoming regions, which furnish the remaining 72 per cent of output, there must be over 5,000 miles of tunnels. These underground roads are a great expense. All the coal that can be recovered from them is constantly increasing, and this adds greatly to the cost of the mines. Water that runs into these underground passages must be steadily pumped out to protect adjacent workings, and air must be forced in to prevent the formation of dangerous gases. To protect the surface and make possible the recovery of a little more coal, large sums of money are annually spent for pumping refuse back into the workings by hydraulic process. A further problem of large cost is the timbering of the mines. Pennsylvania timber has long been stripped from the hills and yellow pine from the South must be brought in. Mine timbers and lumber cost the operators $5,000,000 annually.

The acceptance as aviators in the French service of so many sons of wealthy American families proves that these young men are far from being the "flanneled fools and muddled outs" whom Kipling once railed against or the other side of the water. The physical and mental requirements of the French service, in the case of aviators are of the severest sort. They are now being tested not only for strength and ordinary intelligence, but are required to demonstrate the quickness of their response to visual, auditory and tactual impression, their "psychometric reactions;" that is to say, they are required to prove that to anything that is suddenly seen, or heard, or felt, their minds react accurately within a space of time that figures itself down to hundredths of a second. Without this quickness of perception and of action upon perception, in addition to iron courage and endurance, the war aviator is of little use. The apparatus of the French service even tests the candidate's sang froid by recording his heart-beats, his color, his movement or absence of movement, under the stress of a surprise pistol shot fired at the back of his neck. Then, supposing that his "psychometric reactions" are all right, the man must have good knowledge of the rules of war, of geography, of meteorology, and other things besides. And finally he must be willing to subject himself, as a corporal or a sergeant, to an army discipline much severer than anything he has ever known before. It is fair to assume that the successful American candidate for this service has proved his possession of the real stuff of manhood. It is interesting to know how certain flowers got their names. Many were named after individuals. For instance, Fuchsia were so called because they were discovered by Leonard Fuchs. Dahlias were named for Andre Dahl, who brought them from Peru. The Camelia was so called for a missionary named Kamel, who brought some magnificent specimens of the flower to France from Japan. He called it the Rose of Japan, but his friends changed it to Camelia. Magnolias were named in honor of Prof. Magnol de Montpellier, who first brought the beautiful trees to France from America and Asia. Because they tremble with the wind is the meaning of Anemones. The Latin word to wash is lavare, and Lavender received its name because the Romans put the flowers into the water when they washed, to perfume their hands.

On Monday evening, February 5, a number of the representative Texans met in the Lincoln high school building to plan for the entertaining of Mrs. Maud Cuney Hare, who appeared in recital in the auditorium of Allen chapel, Thursday evening. Mr. B. J Knox presided and Mr. C. A. Franklin acted as secretary. They decided to bestow on her a floral offering and to have her as her guest at a light luncheon in the Y. M. C. A. cafeteria Thursday afternoon. Mrs. C. A. Franklin, Mrs. Mrs. C. G. Martin, and Mrs. J. R. E. Lee were appointed a committee to take full charge. Dr. J. E. Dibble, Mrs. Rife and Mrs. Williams were selected as an escort. Mrs. H. T. Kealing was chosen to make the presentation of the flowers. It was a great meeting, characterized by the spirit of concern about each other that has meant much to the Southern Negroes in their efforts to advance religiously, intellectually, morally and financially. So much were they reminded of the way they used to do things in Texas that a permanent organization, to be known as the Kansas City-Texas club, was effected, with the following temporary officers: Mr. B. J. Knox, president: Mrs. H. T. Kealing, secretary: Major Ammonds was instructed to have made a pennant bearing the name of this club.

Colonel Ross boasts of the fact that he never forgets an acquaintance. His walks downtown are always punctual with handshakes and an inquiry regarding business, health, wife, children, or what not. Unerringly he touches the right chord, and leaves the acquaintance with the feeling that however indifferent the world may be to him and his affairs, the colonel is his friend. A few days ago Colonel Ross met a friend. After a cordial handshake and "How are you?" the colonel said, "Where are you working now, Dan?" "At the shop." "Same old place?" "Yes, I got an interest now." "An interest? Well, that's nice! Since when?" and the colonel shook his friend's hand vigorously. "Since Saturday.

BALTIMORESHIRT I satisfy more wearers among colored people of outer store —There's a Reason ECONOMY PLEASANT CLERKS By FLORENCE LILLIAN HENDERSON (Copyright, BLI, by W. G. Chapman.) Chester Merrill was lonesome—that was, in fact, his normal condition of late. He had left a little country village to better himself amid the larger opportunities of a great city and had succeeded. There was no complaint on the score of income and progress. His success, however, was the result of close application to the office duties and studious hours in his solitary room. There was little adornment to the place, for he had followed simple tastes since coming to the city. In one window there was a flower box, thickly planted with morning glories. In the other was a tiny cage and a canary bird. The former occupant of the room, when leaving for a distant city the day that Chester arrived, stated his inability to care for the bird. Would the newcomer accept it at the original cost of the cage alone? Merrill consented. It had been quite some company. Every morning it tuned its melody song to notes of harmony. Every evening it chirped him a genuine welcome. Just across the court, twenty feet away, Merrill had discovered one day a lady with a little girl on her lap. They were listening to the singing of the bird, and the little one was clapping her tiny hands in delight and reaching toward the canary as if eager to possess and pet it. Merrill went down to see his land lady after a minute or two of reflection. He saw a way of completing sat THE MEN'S WAREHOUSE She Spelled Out Three Words. isfactorily a plan that had fingered in his mind for several days. "I know whom you mean," promptly announced Mrs. Agnew—"Miss 31." "Miss Thirty-one?" repented Chester vaguely. "That is what they call her, or at least my sister, who is hindy of the next building, does." "Rather a queer woman, isn't it?" suggested Merrill vaguely. "She has given no other. She came there a month ago with the little girl, does light housekeeping, goes out very little, pays her room rent on the dot, troubles nobody and has no company whatever." "I'm! Something of a mystery," commented Merrill. "However, that's her business. I noticed the little child today and she seemed quite in love with my canary. As the cold weather comes on my room will be chilly, with out heat during the day. I was thinking of selling or giving poor Dick away. I believe the little one and her mother would take good care of the bird. And they are so loneless, never going out. Dick might be quite some company to them, don't you think? Now, couldn't you in a nice way, impart all this to your sister and get the bird to those people, so they would understand the gift and not resent my presumption as an intrusion?" "Bless you, yes!" declared Mrs. Agnew spontaneously. "Why! Who wouldn't say thank you for such a kindly offering," and that settled it and Dick in his cage was delivered by Mrs. Agnew to the landlord next door. Merrill glanced across the court with a good deal of interest the next morning. The window was up and its curtain fluttering in the breeze. He Every Sunday morning Mr. McGlobe walked up to Central park from his boarding house in the West Twenties and looked at monuments and things. After the walk it was his habit, when the opera season was on, to look at the Metropolitan bill for the coming week. He inclined slightly toward culture. "I must go to the opera this winter," he could be to Miss Reba Gordon, who sat next to him at the table, "but I am waiting until something of Mazziul's is sung." "What did he write?" asked Miss Gordon, one of those strange persons who never try to mask their lack of information. "His best, I think," said Mr. McGlobe, "are 'Dio e l'Opolo' and 'Pensiero ed Azione.' At least those are the ones which appear on his monument in the west drive. But I never see them advertised. I guess he is not appreciated by modern opera goers."—New York Sun. New Jersey factories employ 232, 000 operatives. viewed a form vaguely outlined, half shielded by the lace drapery. A fair white hand motioned, not to him, but evidently to the little one. There was a cry of excitement audible to Merrill. Then in her pretty night robe the little child ran up to the window, the cage in her hands. She set it upon the sill, she drew back with a bewildering smile of gratitude, bowed with the grace of some titled lady and kissed her dainty finger tips to the donor of the feathered pet. The memory of the face of Miss Thirty-one lingered in the thoughts of Merrill all that day. "Miss," they had called her. Then possibly not wife, mother nor widow. And the little one had mightly attracted him, too. The mystery of their seclusion gave an added spice to the situation. There might be call for a chivalrous attention. At least, the proximity was pleasant. He would miss the bird, but the next morning the little child appeared at the window again and warmed his heart with her innocent, grateful smiles. "I'll take a box of those," said Merrill to a clerk in a toy store two evenings later, and started homeward with a box of building blocks under his arm. The landly smiled coverly as he indicated their desired destination. The weather changed during the night and it was too chilly for open windows the next morning, but as he glanced at the one across the court Merrill was greeted with a pyramidal message on the inside sill, formed of the painted wooded alphabet blocks: "Thank you." "I'm glad Miss Thirty-one takes no offense," redirected Merrill. "It's something to keep me from the megrins—having that little one to think of." He left out reference to the one that was not little, and rather testily resented a quick mental suggestion that his interest in the young lady in question was a growing one, and that there was a tinge of hypocrisy in indicating the child as the main object of attention. One evening Merritt, passing a small ladies' bazaar shop, say Miss Thirty-one and the little one inside. He glanced through the window to see the young lady produce some home-made lace, which was measured and paid for. As they came out he followed, but did not approach them. He observed an ill-favored man slouch stealthily after them, carefully note the building they entered and sneak away. It was early the next morning when Merrill arose and threw up his window to air the room. His first glance was at the one opposite. It was closed, but revealed, standing sideways, Miss Thirty-two. She was apparently speaking to someone in the room and fumbling with the building blocks, Merrill noticed that her hand trembled and that her face was unnaturally pale. Suddenly she flashed a single glance at him. Eloquent pleading was in her eyes. Then her fingers moved among the scattered blocks, and then, slowly, but with precision, she spelled out three words: "Help—come quick!" Merrill was down the steps in a flash. He harried into the next building, he located the room opposite to his own across the court. He stood still and listened. There was a rustling against the other side of the door, and it moved as if somebody there was barring egress. "The money my wife left. Give it to me, here, now, or I'll put you asleep and get the child and put her where you'll never see her again!" uttered the hoarse savage voice. "No!" came quiveringly, but firmly, in feminine tones. "What I have, take, Go, leave me in peace! You have no wife—your neglect killed her, my poor sister! And the law has given me the rightful charge of the child. The money is for her education. You are an escaped convict. I will betray you rather than you should darken Irma's young life." There was a savage growl, a rush. Merrill burst open the door. He pinned the ruffian by the throat to the wall. "This man is anhoying you?" spoke Merrill quietly. "Oh, drive him away, save me! Protect me!" sobbed Miss Thirty-one, and sank fainting to a couch, while the little one, just waking up, stared wonderingly about her. "Go!" spoke Merrill sternly, giving the intruder a swing through the open doorway. "I have heard enough to know that if I speak one word to the police, you will be out of this lady's way effectually," and the fellow made a swift retirement. "Won't you be my uncle, just as dear Aunty Audrey is my aunt!" chirped little Lois Deveree as Miss Thirty-one, otherwise Audrey Claxton, told Merril her mournful story of a sister who had married a brutal husband, and had left the little one to the care of her faithful sister. "You need a protector, and care—and love," spoke Chester Merrill softly during the call a week later, and Dick piped a glorious strain—and as Miss Thirty-one drew closer to his wait embrace, little Lois cried out gleefully: "Oh, I've got a dear uncle at last!"

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1917 St. Valentine's Day How the youth of other times celebrated the festival of love which antedates Christian era. Romans observed event first, seeking sweet-hearts THE ROSE IS RED, THE VIOLET BLUE, SUGAR IS SWEET, AND SO ARE YOU. THE ROSE IS RED, THE VIOLET BLUE, SUGAR IS SWEET, AND SO ARE YOU. The oldest valentine verse in the world. It has traveled to all quarters of the globe and been translated into every tongue. It is believed to have originated in the Greek in some much more lovely form. OME and St. Valentine's day so far back in the Christian centuries that the festival of love had not yet annexed to itself the name of a Christian saint! So says a writer in the New York Herald. On this great day the Sacred urn, prominently placed so that none might ignore it, was doing a rushing business, bubbling forth its fateful messages for the coming year. For the first valentine them were not sweet or sancy documents, of lighter import, like the sugary rhymes of our grandmothers' time nor the flowers and gloves of today. Instead, they were real human beings whom destiny paired for the space of a twelvemonth. It was the duty of the Roman youth on the day of the feast of Lupercalia, which, according to ancient chroniclers, coincides with our St. Valentine's day, to repair to the Sacred urn in search of a sweetheart. In the urn were the names of the maidens of the neighborhood, written on slips of parchment. The Roman youth never thought of shrinking from the ordeal. Any attempt on his part to go around by the back streets on his way to business or to spend the day on the golf links instead of doing his duty as a man and a citizen would have marked him out as a man with no sporting blood in his veins. So, assuming an air of gay indifference, he took his place in the line, called upon the gods for succor and boldly plunged his hand into the Sacred urn. Then, like the historic Horner, he pulled out, let us hope, not a plum, but, in the modern language of admiration, a pench. If so, his face lighted delightfully and he hurried out to buy an unusually rich and varied assortment of sacrifices for the altar of Venus, Cupid and the rest of the really important divinities.

The following It was the duty of the Roman youth on the day of the feast of Lupercalia, which, according to ancient chroniclers, coincides with our St. Valentine's day, to repair to the Sacred urn in search of a sweetheart. In the urn were the names of the maidens of the neighborhood, written on slips of parchment. The Roman youth never thought of shrinking from the ordeal. Any attempt on his part to go around by the back streets on his way to business or to spend the day on the golf links instead of doing his duty as a man and a citizen would have marked him out as a man with no sporting blood in his veins. So, assuming an air of gay indifference, he took his place in the line, called upon the gods for succor and boldly plunged his hand into the Sacred urn. Then, like the historic Horner, he pulled out, let us hope, not a plum, but, in the modern language of admiration, a peach. If so, his face lighted delightfully and he hurried out to buy an unusually rich and varied assortment of sacricles for the altar of Venus, Cupid and the rest of the really important divinities. If, however, fate had gone against him and he had drawn an undesirable maiden from the bowl, striking his clenched fist fiercely upon his brow, he strode in silence from the place of doom. But he never thought of demanding a second helping. No, the gods had willed it, and so it was to be. He had acquired a sweetheart for a year, and he stuck by her until next St. Valentine's day gave him the opportunity to break the engagement. It was in the year 496 that Pope Gelasius, noting with pain the ancient method of observing the feast of Lupercalia, which took place on February 15, decided that something would have to be done about it. As the youths of the time seemed to be strangely addicted to the practice of pulling the names of young women out of the Sacred urn, it was decided that it would not do to deprive them altogether of this playful diversion. Instead, they could be led by easy stages away from the heathenish portent of the game. So the leaders of the reform movement hit upon the scheme of permitting the Sacred urn to perform on its usual day, but the names of saints and martyrens were substituted upon the papers which the youths picked out of this receptacle for those of maidens in the community. Then, reasoned the reform leaders, the youths could consider that the saints whose names they drew out were their patron saints and could pattern their lives by those of these worthy persons. This would be quite as exciting as picking out the name of one's next season's girl. And to make the transformation of this day of pagan rites into a Christian festival complete, it was decided by the reform element that the day should henceforth be known as St. Valentine's day and that it should be set on February 14 in honor of the fact that in 270 A.D. D. the good bishop, afterward St. Valentine, was beheaded by the persecutors of the early Christians because he had performed the remarkable miracle of making his jailer's blind daughter see. this day of complete it hat the day Valentine's January 14 in good bishop. ded by the because he e of making Reply valentines were a time, as were those in words upon some part for a butcher and his those supplied in a little don, was as follows: Valentine F Strong as an ox m Thou tender bit t Though small thing Too well my love St. Valentine's day February 14 indeed became, but, alas for human frailty, although the name was changed, the spirit of the day remained as before. Down to our own time it is still the day of lovers the world over. The names of the saints which came out of the Sacred urn instead of those of the pretty girls of old Rome were powerless to turn the thoughts of young men away from love and happiness toward self-sacrifice and piety. The ancient usages persisted, and thus originated the incongruous situation whereby an ecclesiastic of ascetic life and plious history has given his name for all time to a festival devoted to the impassioned sentiment of lovers. In later days, when valentines had come to be delicate missives in which lovers expressed their ardor in their own verses, the duke of Orleans was one of the many great personages who thought the indicting of valentine verses not too small a goal for his poetical ambitions. It was after Charles was taken prisoner at the battle of Agincourt, in 1415, that he did the greatest amount of his valentine poetizing. He composed the first written valentine which now exists.

He is said to have been a man of very amable nature and most eloquent of speech, wherefore he was --- --- R The Day of Lovers. COPIED CUSTOM OF BIRDS Feathered Creatures Said to Have Been the Inspiration of the Ancient Romans. A fact in natural history, to wit, that birds in southern Europe pair about the middle of February, is said to have inspired a custom of the ancient Romans, to which the origin of the modern valentine can undoubtedly be traced, says the Housekeeper. At the feast of the Lupercalia, held in honor WALTERS MONKEY Mr. March about 60 of them, a strangely bright and lovely memento of that dreary sojourn in the Tower of London. The following is typical of his valentine verses: Wilt thou be mine? Dear love, reply— Sweetly consent, or else deny; Whisper softly, none shall know— Wilt thou be mine, love; aye or no? Spite of fortune we may be Happy by one word from thee; Life flees swiftly, Ere it go Wilt thou be mine, love; aye or no? It was an ancient idea cherished through many generations that St. Valentine's day was the day of mating for birds as well as for men and women. Herrick refers to this charming fancy in this lovely valentine verse: Oft have I heard both youths and virgins say Birds chose their mates and couples, too, this day. But by their flight I never can divine. When I shall couple with my valentine. Lovers less talented who found rhyming on their own account exceedingly difficult were obliged to resort to books which were regularly published with a view to supplying valentine verses and replies appropriate to all stations in life and all trades. These verses, published in small volumes with highly colored frontispieces, were not usually of the loftiest order. Reply valentines were very much the fashion for a time, as were those in which there was a play of words upon some particular calling. A valentine for a butcher and his sweetheart, included among those supplied in a little book published in London, was as follows: **Valentine From a Butcher.** Strong as an ox my love for thee, Thou tender bit of veal; 'Though small thine eyes as pigs' they see Too well my love to steal. This hast thou done, and something more— Deprived me of my sleep; Oh, then, be kind, nor shut the door Against the hapless sheep! To this the beauteous maid of the butcher's fancy replied: Good Mr. Butcher, I must own, although I am no glutton. I'm rather partial to the taste of beef, pork, veal and mutton; I've half a mind to grant your suit, but one thing makes me falter: It was an ancient idea cherished through many generations that St. Valentine's day was the day of mating for birds as well as for men and women.

In some instances lovers also chose St. Valentine's day as an occasion on which to reprove their sweethearts and cut them off from further communication, as shown in the following verse: In some instances lovers also chose St. Valentine's day as an occasion on which to reprove their sweethearts and cut them off from further communication, as shown in the following verse: To a Lady, Fond of Public Places.

We find the statement in Archbishop Whateley's "Illustrations of the Book of Common Prayer" that "St. Valentine was a man of admirable parts and so famous for his love and charity that the custom of choosing valentines upon his festival took its rise from thence." To this the reply was tart, not to say shrewish. Indeed, our own more polite age would scarcely care to hear so crude a letter from a feminine versifier. These valentine books, from which most of the lovelorn swains of the early eighteenth century culled the lines that they wrote to their loves, were published in collections bearing such titles as "Cupid's Directory." "Carvalho's Polite Valentine Writer" and "The Frolicious Valentine Writer," the last a collection containing many examples of early eighteenth-century humor of a sort which almost reconciles one to the merry professional jests of one's own ern. It was a girl who started the business of manufacturing valentines for sale in the United States—a most enterprising girl named Esther Howland, who had just been graduated from Mount Holyoke seminary and resided with her father in Worcester, Mass. In 1849 she received from England a manufactured valentine, the first she had ever seen. It interested her so much that she decided to see whether she could make some of these valentines and find a sale for them. With lace paper, cut-out pictures and printed verses she manufactured several samples and gave them to her brother to take out on the road to show customers when he went on his trip for their father's stationery business. To her amazement, her brother returned with orders for $5,000 worth of valentines. Miss Howland, of course, was quite unable to carry out the orders herself, but she called her young woman friends to her assistance, and they immediately started what later developed into a very large and prosperous valentine manufacturing plant. In a few years they were sending out $100,000 worth of valentines each season.

LESSON TEXT—John 4:5-14, 24. 26. GOLDEN TEXT—Christ Jesus came in to the world to save sinners.—I Tim. 1:16. This is a lesson of one of the wayside ministries of Jesus. It occurred incidentally while he was on his way to his great preaching and teaching experience at Gallilee. It was a by-product of his very busy life, yet it is one of the most famous interviews and one of the best examples of how to do personal work that is found in the scriptures. The larger part of the first year of Christ's ministry was spent in Judea. Jesus did not baptize, but his disciples did, doubtless for the same reason, though in a less degree, than why Paul refused to baptize converts (I Cor. 1:13-16). All but one of the disciples of Jesus were Gallileans and Jesus spent about a year and nine months of his ministry in that place. 1. Jesus Rested (vv. 4-6). To reach Galilee from Judea Jesus "must needs go through Samaria," not that there were not other ways that he might have traveled, but rather that it was worth while to go out of his way in order to bring the water of life to this needful woman. Jacob's well was at a parting of the roadway near to the city of Sychar. Few places in the land save Jerusalem had so much Bible history connected with them (Gen. 12: 36; Joshua 8: 33; Acts 7: 16; I Kings, 12: 1, etc.). The well was originally about 100 feet deep and $7\frac{1}{2}$ feet in diameter, but it has been filled up with accumulations of rubbish so it is now only about 75 feet deep. Christ was weared in his work, but not of it, and "sat thus" (by) the well; literally, on the low wall built around it. The sixth hour was probably about midday There is comfort in consideration of the fact that as a man Jesus was willing to meet this woman of bad character. 11. Jesus Holds Conversation (vv. 7-14). Notice the gentle way in which Jesus speaks, and that he began on the ground of their common need. He asks this needed favor that he might confer a greater one, ignoring the prejudice which existed against the Samaritans. Water was the thing uppermost in the woman's mind. She did not grant his simple request, and her reply indicated that racial differences were a very real barrier. They hinder our work even yet. The surprise, perhaps pleasure, that a Jew should ask a favor of her seems to have greatly impressed the woman, and aroused her curiosity. In verse 10 Jesus tells the woman that there are two things she must need know: (1) the wondrous gift of God, that is the Holy Spirit (Luke 11:13; Acts 2:23-38); (2) the wonderful man who had asked of her "Give me to drink." Had she known these things she would have asked him for the living water. All that was needful was simply to ask. The Holy Spirit is the living water (John 6:63). The woman does not seem to have comprehended what Jesus was trying to teach, yet he was patient, and won her as a convert. He told her that everyone who came to that well would thirst again (v. 13). The world's fountains do not satisfy, fountains of wealth, fame, pleasure or carnal gratification, or even learning. He then tells her of the living water (v. 14)) of which the drinker should never thirst, that it would satisfy whoever drinks, and was to be everlasting (John 7:37-39). The one who receives the Holy Spirit within has a perennial, eternal spring of life, joy and satisfaction springing up within him. Before the woman received the water of which he was speaking there had to come a conviction of sin (vv. 16-19); hence his remark, "Go call thy husband." This was a sharp thrust into her life and heart. She tried to parry the thrust with a technical question, yet he comes back with a great revelation of the nature of God and the worship which God accepts, revealing his Messiahship (vv. 15-26). As is indicated, she does not seem to have comprehended the nature of the request which Jesus had made (v. 15); therefore he began this searching of her life in order to prepare her to receive the water of life which he wanted to be stow. This knowledge of her secret life by a perfect stranger who had never even seen her before was an evidence to the woman of spiritual endowment: "Sir I perceive that thou art a prophet." She then entered upon a theological argument (v. 20) which Jesus answered very simply, saying that the worship of the Father is not to be restricted by time or place (v. 21). The issue between the Jews and the Samaritans was that of the place of worship and of the scriptures. By not accepting the full revelation of God they were ignorant of much that they might have known of God's nature, promises, law and kingdom. Thus, literally, salvation is of the Jews, that it proceeds from them, not that it belongs to them (v. 22). The new day has downed, the Messiah has come and the Father seeketh all those who would worship him in truth, for God is a spirit but invisible, everyone not continued to the temple, not local in any one place as idols are. At this point the disciples return and the woman goes into the village. the woman goes into the vignette. Jesus, lifting up his eyes to the citizens who were coming out at her invitation, exclaims, "Lift up your eyes and look on the fields, for they are white already to harvest," thereby enphasing still further the "persons evangelism" thought which is uppermost in this lesson. She thirsted (v. 14), she receive (vv. 25, 26), she became a spring (v. 28-29) which supplied others (v. 39). The water of life fully satisfies, and it is a spring (v. 10); it continually satisfies.

"What do you mean?" asked his lordship in astonishment.

EXPERT PROOF IS EXPENSIVE Street Railway in Massachusetts Pays Experts a Large Sum to Boost Fares. The Bay State Street railway has paid about $120,000 to date for the valuation report on which the road bases its plea for six-cent fares, and the valuation expert is still drawing $50 a day for testifying before the public service commission, it has developed during the continued cross-examination of Robert M. Feustel, the $50-a-day expert, himself, remarks the Boston Post. Thus, if the road wins its plea, it will have to collect 2,000,000 six-cent fares from patrons in the eighty-odd cities and towns which it serves to secure an amount equal to the expert's fees. And if the Bay State company should lose its plea, it will require 2,400,000 nickel fares to make up the amount it has paid the expert for preparing a valuation report on which the road relied to prove its claim that a five-cent fare does not provide enough revenue by $1,615,165 a year, the sum which Feustel estimates is needed and which he says a six-cent fare would provide.
