Kansas City Sun

K. P. FIGHT ENDED The Kansas City Sun VOLUME IX. NUMBER 35. MITCHELL WINS The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, at Washington, handed down a decision Friday, April 13th, Justice McCoy, presiding, in which it was decided that the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia was wrongfully expelled from the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A., A. & A. This is the culmination fayorably to the Grand Lodge, K., of P., of Virginia, of a suit instituted by that body against the Supreme Lodge to restrain that tribunal from enforcing the proclamation of the Supreme Chancellor suspending the Grand Lodge of Virginia and all the members in the subordinate lodges in that grand jurisdiction from the Order. At the session of the Supreme Lodge at Baltimore, the action of the Supreme Chancellor was sustained and a resolution adopted expelling the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia from the Order. A restraining order was obtained from Mr. Justice Ashley M. Gould of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, forbidding the Supreme Chancellor from enforcing his own proclamation or the decree of the Supreme Lodge. At the session of the Supreme Lodge at Columbus, O., the injunction or restraining order was not obeyed and the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia, through counsel and with the concerted action of the Supreme Representatives, John Mitchell, Jr., Thomas M. Crump, E. R. Jefferson and T. H. Wyatt instituted contempt proceedings in the Supreme Court at Washington against S. W. Green, Dr. E. E. Underwood, R. R. Jackson, for violating the restraining order. The original suit and the contempt proceedings were consolidated at the hearing by mutual consent of counsel and the result is announced that Virginia has won its contention in the cause at issue. K. OF P. MEETING The Knights of Pythias of the E. and W. Hemisphere, Jurisdiction of Missouri, entertained Secretary of the Supreme Beneficiary Department, Sir Geo. E. Gordon. The reception given at Castle Hall, 1413 Vine Street, Saturday evening, April 21, in honor of Secretary of the Supreme Beneficiary Department, Sir Geo. E. Gordon, was quite an enjoyable affair. The guests of honor were: Geo. E. Gordon, Chelsea, Mass.; Sir W. H. Thomas, pastor Allen Chapel; and Sir L. P. Martin, Supreme representative of Harrisonville, Mo.; Sir C. L. Drew, Kansas City, Mo., Supreme Deputy Chancellor, was master of ceremonies. After a short program and remarks by Sir Gordon and Sir Rev. Thomas, all present were given an opportunity to meet our guest, after which the reception committee served refreshments for the occasion. The jurisdiction has been much benefited by the visit of Sir Gordon and we trust he has been so favorably impressed with the good people of the great Gateway of the West, he will desire to return again soon. Sir Gordon will leave Kansas City Sunday, April 30, a. m., stopping at Baltimore, Maryland, to spend a few hours with our Supreme Chancellor, Sir W. Ashbie Hawkins. Sir Gordon can be found at the residence of our Grand Worthy Councillor, Sister May Woods, 2314 Woodland Ave. Bell phone, East 1894J. While here the Secretary adjusted and paid five death claims of $100.00 each for the deceased members, viz: Harriet Harris and Laura Smith of Dionysius Court, Adeline Woods of Excelsior Court, Alice Weaver of Eva Court, and Sir Aron Hughes of Emanuel lodge. Sir Gordon assisted at the institution of a new lodge Thursday at 1413 Vine St., organized by Sir C. L. Drew. AT. ST. STEPHENS BAPTIST CHURCH, SUNDAY, APRIL 29, 1917. Rev. J. W. Hurse, D.

ALLEN, Secretary. NEW NEGRO HOSPITAL. The necessity of a commodious and modern Negro hospital for Greater Kansas City becomes more evident each day. And that the time is ripe for the launching of a campaign to secure such an institution seems to be the consensus of opinion of physicians and laymen alike. It will take $40,000 to build a hospital to meet the requirements for the care of Colored patients in Kansas City, and while this seems a large sum, yet there are many among us who believe it can be secured if an earnest, systematic and BOYS' MILITARY DRILL GIRLS IN INDIAN CLUB DRILL TICKETS Rx Seats (Reserved) Vena Balcony Seats (Not Reserved) Super Balcony Seats (Not Reserved Great Tickets reserved at the o Lincoln High School untiring campaign is waged to secure it.

Yes, Officer, I struck the man. Let him explain why, if he can. I knocked him down, and blacked his eyes- Wy look at me in such surprise? Because he's White and I am Black? Give me protection. Hold them back! Just see them come. The Mob grows bigger. They shout, "Lynch him, the dirty Nigger!" Because I dared to knock and beat A White man in the public street. It's the same old song.

Offered me money just to say. We would desert the Flag today. Said that my folk might swiftly rise, If we would help the foreign spies Wreck buildings, bridges, loot and spoil The Country where we gave our toil; Help bring it low with bomb and flame, Until it lisps the Kaiser's name. Oh, many things he said to me, Of Burnings, Mobs, and Liberty. And while he talked my eyes saw red. I knocked him down, sir! Say he's fled? Why has all the crowd grown still? Lead on, Officer, as you will. I care for neither bond nor bail. For the first time, I go to jail. You won't arrest me? Why the shout? What's the people cheering about? I, a Hero? Well, that's good. I've done no more than thousands would. We want the World to understand. Though oftimes scourged with cruel hand Always held up to the light for flaws, And girded round by Jim-crow laws, The Negro will not seek revenge, To force bound Justice's prison hinge. We are standing by the President, To do his will with full intent. Where he sends us we will go, To face undaunted any foe. We love the Flag that makes men free, We pledge it whole-soul loyalty. From Lexington to Carrizal, Black-men did fight, Black-men did fall, And ever at the high command, The Negro proudly takes his stand. Thank God! He knows no traitor's ban He's a true, blade-straight American! Nelson C. Crews, Editor Kansas City Sun, 1803 East 18th St., Kansas City, Mo. PRICE, 5c.

On Easter Sunday, April 8th, the Death Angel visited the home of Mrs. Laura Smith and took from her a daughter, Miss Dora, who had been sick for two years, yet through it all she bore her pain without murmuring until the last when the Death Angel summoned her. She was, however, willing and ready to go and patted her twin sister on the cheeks and told her it was all right and to come on. Miss Smith was a member of the Second Baptist Church of Rocheport of which she was a faithful member and also in the Sunday School and was always willing to do whatever was put upon her. She was a member of Parthenia Tabernacle No. 4 of Columbia, under whose auspices the funeral services were held. She leaves a mother, Mrs. Laura Smith; two sisters, Mrs. Ora Black, a twin, of Kansas City, Mo., and Miss Maymie Smith of Rocheport, Mo.; two brothers, Mr. Leonard Smith of Columbia, Mo., and Mr. Christal Smith of St. Louis, Mo., and other relatives and a host of friends. The funeral was preached by her pastor, Rev. Ed Wilson and the floral designs were many and beautiful. Through all pain at times she'd smile, A smile of heavenly birth. And when the angels called her home She smiled farewell to earth. Heaven retaineth now our treasure, Earth the lonely casket keeps. And the sunbeams love to linger Where our sainted sister sleeps.

"The Trial of Christ Before Pilot," the famous lecture on one of the most discussed episodes in the Bible and the life of the Christ will be given by Judge J. M. Johnson, formerly of the Court of Appeals, Sunday, April 29th, at 3:30 p.m. This address has been delivered by the Judge scores of times in this and other cities. The legal phase of the subject as he gives it and the unique construction he places on Pilot's part in this infamous trial doubtless adds to its popularity. The interest manifested by the women who have heard of this unusual address influenced the religious work committee to make this an open meeting to all. The "Reds" under Captain A.

Success Demands Closer Attention and Larger Business Knowledge. May 1, ultimo, marks the close of my sixth year in the real estate business in Greater Kansas City, and I take great pleasure in thankking both the urban and rural population for the support sustained me since 1911. At that time I made a two-weeks preliminary canvass, for advertising purpose, that enabled me to sell $20,000 worth of property that year. In the years that have followed, I have been gratified with the confidence placed in me, and have found that Negro business will grow more proportionately in the future as the Negro business man applies himself strictly to business, learns to be absolutely frank and honest in his opinions, and above all acquires a broader and more organized knowledge of business. The fact stands out that the business is to be had. During my next fiscal year, I expect to do a bigger business in farms and suburban land, and to that end, am increasing my list of desirable properties. Remember that VAUGHAN'S VALUES are "worth investigating." Bell, West 1757. 26th and Parkway Kansas City, Kans. Mary E.

The hurry, hard work, noise and strain all tell on us and tend to provoke nervousness and irritability.. We are frequently so worn out we can neither eat, sleep nor work with any comfort. We are out of line with ourselves and others as well. A good thing to do under such circumstances is to take something like Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills to relieve the strain on the nerves. Mrs. J. B. Hartsfield, 82 Plum St. Atlanta Ga., writes: "I have on several occasions been vastly relieved by the use of your med- lines, especially the Anti-Pain Pills, which I keep constantly on hand for the use of myself, husband and two sons. Nothing in the world equals them as a headache remedy. Often I am enabled by the use of one or two of the Pills to continue my housework when otherwise I would be in bed. My husband joins me in my praise of the Anti-Pain Pills and Nervine." Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills are relied upon to relieve pain, nervousness and irritability in thousands of households. Of proven merit after twenty years' use, you can have no reason for being longer without them. At all Druggists, 25 doses 25 cents. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind.

EDITORIALS If Secretary Baker has really snubbed the offer of Colonel Roosevelt to lead an army of soldiers against the Germans, it merely shows that said secretary is a very small man. Judging from the latest orders from Washington not to enlist any more Negro soldiers and the effort being made to compel white meh to enlist one may form a pretty fair idea as to the relative patriotism of these two classes. Practical people would like to hear something along the lines of economy and conservation from our pulpits, now that worldly questions are assuming such increasing proportions and final questions are always in statu quo. Just now foodstuffs are higher than crowns. After having given a year to the study of operatic music with her pupils, Miss Josephine Martin of the Lincoln School took twenty-five of her pupils to see and hear Ill Trovatore last Saturday. The theatrical management in appreciation sold the class seats at one-third price, all of which affords another proof that classical music will not down. Editor Crews will speak, Monday night, April 30, at St. John's A. M. E. Church, 17th and Belleview, at a program which will be rendered for the benefit of the Church. His subject will be the "Patriotism of the American Negro." The Church invites its friends and the public in general to be present. The Blind Boone Concert Co. has been playing in greater Kansas City during the week to its usual large audiences and giving usual satisfaction. Boone is the premier of Negro musicians and with his manager, the late John Lange, has done more to give prestige and standing to Negro performers than any other colored men in America. Rev, F. D. Douglass, who accompanied Bishop Kyle to the coast a few weeks ago, has returned after holding a number of splendid meetings in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Walla Walla where they had more than two hundred conversions and a great spiritual feast. He reports that the Rev, Matthews, a former pastor of St. James church in this city, now presiding elder of the California conference, is doing fine and is well liked by the people of that section. His district raised $250.00 as a contribution for a new church the connection is building there. All He Cared About. Harold is fond of fowl. One day he came to the house breathless. "Oh, mamma," he said, "Jimmy's mamma ain't going to have no turkey for Christmas. Is we?" "Well, son," answered the mother, "perhaps we will have duck or goose, or it may be just chicken." "Oh, that's all right," said Harold. "Just so it's something with legs on it." U. S.

Why not get together, boys? —That the man or woman in business who doesn't know the value of advertising usually doesn't have much business after the first month or two. —That exercise in the garden is equally as helpful and much more beneficial in the long run than exercise in the gymnasium or on the tennis courts. Amen. —That a certain brother has been studying hypnotism during the past spring, and says that now he can stop a chicken anywhere he sees it and make it come to him. Well, you had better be careful whose chicken you stop, brother. —That Dr. Theo. Smith is putting brains, money, honesty and thriftiness in his business. That is why you do not hear him "holler" about race pride and that "the Negro will not patronize each other." He is giving the Negro service and a square deal and when you enter his store he greets you with a smile and you will find a full stock and good business. AIRCRAFT Quality maintained!

LITTLE NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Washington Society Women Are Ardent Patriots Washington Society Women Are Ardent Patriots WASHINGTON.—If you happen into either one of two of the city's best-known garages, and find a girl, or matron, perhaps, under a car, with grease dripping upon her fair face, and getting all smeary, you will appreciate the United States as soon as the call comes from the war department through the Red Cross. More than a score of the drivers, many of them prepared to donate cars, are qualifying as mechanicians to make field repairs. They are being schooled by experts in two big garages. The women are qualifying rapidly, and there are several who have won "diplomas" for skill in motor mechanics. They can take down and reassemble a three-gear car without a lock washer or cotter pin left over. They know the parts and can call them by name, even to all of the gears and pins in the transmission and differential. Furthermore, it is declared, they show surprising skill and strength. The women interested are "going at it" with a vim. A garageman facefously said he was getting frightened, because if many more of the women showed such skill the day might come when society women would do their own automobile overhauling. The corps has been divided into companies of ten each with a captain. Each Sunday morning the companies go to Fort Myer and practice handling army motortrucks over rough ground. Each one enlisted is a skilled driver of one or more types of passenger cars, electric or gasoline. Each is being instructed in the handling of heavier vehicles over difficult ground. The drivers will handle all motor units of the medical and Red Cross departments, supply wagons as well as ambulances behind the lines, according to present plans. Army officers are co-operating in the instruction of the drivers, but some of the women are giving instruction to fellow corps members.

The boy started off as spry as a lizard, and the woman took her switches home and put them in water. Charity? Of course not—business. The woman put the little Incident on a pad and got paid for it—and a story is always worth its price. President Caused Flutter in Navy Department PRESIDENT WILSON'S recently formed habit of dropping in on Secretaries Lansing, Daniels and Baker in the state, war and navy building, opposite the White House office, for informal war preparation conferences, has in 40 newspaper men were crowded around Mr. Daniels' desk, plying him with questions. The president slipped quietly into the room, accompanied by a secret service man, took in the situation with one glance and stepped softly to a couch, where he sat down to await his turn. The president was not noticed at first. He was discovered by a newspaper man, who apprised the secretary in a stage whisper. Instantly the correspondents separated. Lieutenant Commander McCandless jumped to a salute, and the president, laughing at the confusion he had caused, arose to his feet, greeted Mr. Daniels in cordial, but businesslike fashion, and apologized for having broken up the conference. Before the room was cleared the president and the secretary of the navy had their heads together and were earnestly discussing plans of naval preparedness. The president looked the picture of restored health, his color was good and his step springy. Illumination of Capitol Dome Pleases Many OWING to the continued illness of Elliot Woods, superintendent of the capitol, no definite steps were taken for some time toward the continued lighting of the capitol dome. The cost of this lighting has not been figured. electric light bills do not have to be reckoned with, any more than if those in charge of the capitol grounds determined to put an extra lamp post in a dark spot in the park. Although there seems to be no possible objection to lighting the dome each night, Superintendent Woods desires to have the proper authorities give their sanction formally. Scores of letters from citizens of this city, as well as from inaugural visitors, have been received at the capitol, expressing delight and appreciation of the lighted dome.

Illumination of Capitol OWING to the continued illness of capitol, no definite steps were taken lighting of the capitol dome. The cost but no special appropriation or legislative authority is necessary.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1917 Fads And Fancies Of Fashion A L Unusual and Pretty Afternoon Frock. The last word in afternoon frocks makes it plain that drapery is a thing to be much desired when it is artfully managed. Straight lines if you want them, but skirts may be draped to break length of line and to widen the figure at the hips or anywhere between them and the knees. The draped skirt is emphatically becoming to the slender figure, and some stout women maintain that widened lines in the skirt make the waist look slender. Purple taffeta is the medium employed for the fetching afternoon gown shown in the accompanying picture. It has an underbodice, sleeves and collar of georgette crepe, matching the silk in color and employs silk tassels as a finish on the collar. These last might be of beads. The skirt is laid in a panel at the back and front by deep side plaits and the interval between the panels is plaited to the hips. Here a short length of silk is folded and draped as pictured. L Neckwear That Fashion Approves. There are so many pretty and clever neck fixings, that fashion approves, for putting the finishing touch to all sorts of dresses and coats. The choice lies all the way between the most inconspicuous of ties, to collars and capes that are an important part of the make-up of waists and coats. One wonders sometimes whether the dress is made for the collar or the collar for the dress. One of the most popular developments of present styles appear in double collars and double capes. Occasionally both upper and under collar are of the same material, but oftener one is of a sheer goods over a collar of heavier fabric, both cut in the same shape. The addition of a thin white collar is relied upon by designers 'to assure the becomingness of many a dress' and is essential to the complete expression of their ideas. But the manufacture of collars and other neckwear has become an important business in itself, and dress designers often make their models with reference to the prevalent styles in neckwear. A The silk bodice is made in the "slip-over" fashion and joined to the skirt with a piping of silk. The waistline is a little higher in the back than in the front and this improves the lines of the figure for either slender or heavy figures. The bodice is decorated with very narrow folds of silk, set on in triangles at the back and front, and the collar merits special attention because it is new and popular and harmonizes so well with the shape and decoration of the bodice. The crepe is cut in long triangular pieces at the back and front and finished at the edges with a narrow hem. A pendent tassel is set on with a crochet button to each point. The plain sleeves are set into deep, turn-back cuffs of silk, and the bodice has a shallow "V" opening at the front of the neck. This model, pretty and unusual as it is, is simple in design and easy to execute. The master hand in designing is required to achieve such fine results of such easy methods. es. variety of collars may embellish one gown and add new interest to it all the time. A very pretty and very simple organdle collar is shown in the picture, with plain ruffles used for its decoration. It is cut with narrow fronts, opening in a "V" and cape widened at the back. A frill is used for finishing it. Collars of this kind, made at home, are beautifully finished with narrow tatting edging made in light blue or pink. Fine crochet edgings are used in the same way, but in spite of the vogue for color, the all white collar knows no equal in favor. In ties, narrow velvet ribbon, with ends finished with little bead balls, or small tassels of silk or beads, or both, are as effective in looks and ends as any other neck finish. Just at the moment jabots hold first place in the attention of shoppers and they are the most dainty and becoming of all the vared neckwear on display. Julia Bottomley INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (BY E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Copyright, 1917, Western Newpaper Union.) LESSON FOR APRIL 29 JESUS WELCOMED AS KING. LESSON TEXT=John 13:13-19 LESSON TEXT-John 12:12:19. GOLDEN TEXT-Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord-John 12:13. This lesson marks the beginning of that last tragic week in the life of our Lord, the most important week in all history since creation. The date was probably April 1, A. D. 30. I. The Lesson of His Kinship. (vv. 12-16). Reading carefully the record of each evangelist, regarding this trilumphal entry, we are still at a loss fully to describe the scene. It occurred the day following the supper in the home of Mary and Martha and Lazarus. i. e. on the Jewish Sabbath. From Bethphage Jesus sent two of his disciples into Jerusalem to secure the colt. They were to loose him without asking anyone's permission, and bring the ass and her colt to him to whom all things belong, with no other explanation than "The Lord hath need of them" (Matt. 21:3). This command was in line with the prophecy (Zech. 9:9). The young ass was a symbol of peace, but the going of the disciples, in obedience to his command, was an act of faith, and obedience is the supreme test of discipleship (John 15:14). In response to their faith, they found everything just as he said it would be (Luke 19:32). Placing their garments on the colt (Matt. 21:7) Jesus rode upon it toward the city, the people crying, "Hosanna"—literally, "Save, I beeschef" (Ps. 19:37-40; see Luke 19:38; Mk. 11:9-10; Matt. 21:9). The enthusiasm of the moment was tremendous. For the moment this great crowd (Mk. 11:8) believed that Jesus was really the Messiah, threw the garments of their holiday attire in his way (Matt. 21:8), and cast their palm branches before him. The Pharisees p-oested (Luke 19:39-40), but the enemies of Jesus for the moment were impotent (John 12:19). The Pharisees forgot their dignity to such an extent as to get excited along with the multitude, though with another purpose (See Luke 19:37-40). Unfortunately the enthusiasm of the people was not long-lived. Many of the same ones were soon crying, "Crucify him" (Ch. 19:14-15). Jesus himself did not join in the general joy (Luke 19:41-44), for he, with prophetic eye, saw the outcome (Luke 19:41-44). II. The Lesson of Reverence (vv. 17. 19.) It is one thing to acknowledge Jesus as a King. It is quite another to revere him as Lord and Savior. Never was there a time when we need more to have reverence for things holy and for constituted authority than the present day. The act of reverence on the part of this multitude for the God-anointed King ought to be a suggestion to those who look upon Jesus merely as a man. Ride triumphantly; Behold we lay our lusts and proud vills in Thy way. Jesus' grief is in strange contrast with the joy of the multitude. The practical application for us today is: "Have we cast our talents before him, God's rightfully anointed King?" There had been a large company of people present when Jesus was at the tomb of Lazarus, and raised him from the dead. The testimony of these eyewitnesses to the power of Jesus must have had great weight with the multitude. The enthusiasm of this crowd for Jesus excited the hatred of the Pharisees, making it all the more intense, for they saw the crowd forsaking them, and following one whom they envied and hated. To one another they exclaimed, "Behold, how we prevail nothing." Notice the personal pronoun "ye," seeking to lay the fault upon others rather than taking their own share of the burden, another touch of human nature which is evident even today. III. The Lesson of the Greek Pilgrims (vv. 20-26). These Greeks came first to Philip, who himself was a Greek. The hour had come (v. 23) when the work of Jesus for the Jews was to be finished. The Jews had been threatened with Greek religion, and that assault had been stopped by the Pharisees. Christ came first to the Jews that through them he might reach the Gentiles. Now his work for the Jews is done. He rejoices as he sees the Greeks coming to him, for it was to be in Greek dress and in Greek form of expression that Christianity was to conquer the world. But this rejoicing is tinged with sorrow, for it was a prophecy of the price that he must pay for the redemption of the world. The Son of Man was glorified by his death; he was glorified by his reception on the part of the Gentiles; he was glorified by the approval of the Father. Verse 24 expresses one of the most tremendous facts in the life of Jesus (Cf. I Cor. 15:36). Think of the rich fruits of Christ's death, the countless lives that he reached and ennobled, and the effect of his life on the practical affairs of the world, the hospitals and every movement for the advancement and the well-being of mankind which can be traced to the influence of his life. Waste of Mothers' Lives and Health Altogether Unnecessary Prepared by Children's Bureau, U. S. Department of Labor More women fifteen to forty-five years of age die from conditions connected with childbirth than from any disease except tuberculosis. Some 15,000 mothers' lives are sacrificed yearly to ignorance and improper care. In connection with Baby Week, the Children's bureau calls special attention to these facts, for three reasons: 1. The life and health of the mother are essential to the health and wellbeing of her children. 2. The majority of these mothers' lives could be saved. 3. The number of deaths among mothers is merely a rough index of unmeasured preventable illness and suffering. Just how adequate care for mothers is to be assured depends, of course, on local conditions, but Dr. Grace L. Meigs of the federal Children's bureau, whose special report on Ma- A Baby's Bottles Ready to Be Put Away on Ice. ternal Mortality was published recently, believes that the first essential everywhere is a better understanding of what mothers need. Few women seem to realize, for example, that a mother needs special care before the baby comes. And yet the principles of personal hygiene which have been worked out by modern science are of the utmost importance in preventing complications for the mother and illness or weakness for her baby. Further, the expectant mother should be under the supervision of a physician, and she should have certain periodic examinations by which any symptoms of complications may be discovered and treated while they are still controllable. And the mother needs skilled attendance when her baby is born. Doctor Meigs emphasizes the fact that a difficult maternity case is one of the gravest surgical emergencies and re- Prepared by Children's Bureau, U. S. Department of Labor. Too many homes, even those where there is no lack of means for the necessary margin of choice, are furnished without apparent regard for the needs or rights of children, and in these it is hardly possible for a child to find a place to play or use his own things without having to be continually warned against breaking or harming something. It is plainly not just to any child to surround him with furnishings designed entirely to accommodate grown-up people and ask him to respect them, unless there is somewhere a place in which he has equal rights, and where the grown-ups must pay equal respect to his possessions. For this reason there should always be some room, or at least a corner of the family living room, where the children may keep their own things and use them in comfort. The ideal rooms for children contain only such furniture as they need for comfort or convenience, and this will be simple and easily kept clean. Washable painted walls, bare hardwood or painted floors, simple curtains and painted furniture are suitable. If wall paper is used it should be inexpensive, so that it can be frequently renewed. All the moldings, door panels, window and door screens should be made with plain painted surfaces so that they can be readily cleaned. Only the lightest curtains should be used, and they should not cover the windows, save when necessary to shut out the hot sun. The chairs, tables, beds, shelves, bookcases and all other necessary articles of furniture should be small and low, so that the children may find them comfortable and convenient. The continual effort to use tables and chairs which are too high, to get things that are out of reach, and to be under the necessity of trying to adapt the strength, size and skill of children to the furniture of grown persons results in no little irritation, some of which might be easily relieved. The washbowl in the bathroom is usually too high for a child to use quires special skill and training. Many people do not seem to understand that in any case complications may arise which can be met safely by prompt and skillful scientific care, but which at the hands of an unskilled attendant will cost the life of mother or child or both. Doctor Melgs admits the difficulties of making accessible to every mother in the United States these essentials of maternity care, but she says: "When women and their husbands are convinced of the need of such care, and when women demand it, physicians will furnish it; medical colleges will provide better training for physicians; and communities, rural and urban, will see to it that mothers are properly protected." The difficulties are perhaps greatest in rural districts. The Children's bureau has had letters from mothers who are 15, 25, 30 and even 65 miles from a physician, and for whom any trained nursing has been utterly impossible. Other countries have been at work on this same problem, notably New Zealand and Canada. From their experience and from the experience of those American cities in which special maternity work is being developed, Doctor Melgs has drawn up the following suggestions for a unit of service to meet the needs of mothers in rural districts: The unit would provide a center for a rural nursing service with visiting nurses especially trained to recognize dangerous symptoms in expectant mothers. At such a center mothers would be able to obtain information as to the proper care of themselves and of their babies. If a suitable general hospital is too remote for use, the county center should include a cottage hospital for difficult maternity cases and for the care of normal cases when it is convenient for the mother to leave her home for confinement. In general, skilled attendance should be obtainable by every woman in the county. Little has been done as yet to show women that much of the waste of mothers' lives and health is unnecessary. Even less has been undertaken by communities to provide protection for motherhood. Many communities which have studied their typhoid and tuberculosis death rates and have undertaken costly measures to reduce them have been heedless of the death rates among mothers. It is not strange, therefore, that since 1900 the typhoid rate for the country as a whole has been cut in half, and the rate from tuberculosis has been markedly reduced, white the death rate from maternal causes has shown no demonstrable decrease. But maternal deaths are largely preventable, and Baby Week should mark the beginning of definite work for their prevention. Doctor Meigs' report on Maternal Mortality may be had free upon request, from the Children's bureau, Washington, D. C. without getting his sleeves and the front of his clothing wet. A stool or hassock, or even a low box on which he may stand, will save much trouble. After the baby's high chair has been discarded the child should be provided with a dining chair which is high enough to bring his elbows about on a level with the top of the table, and he should have a stool or a footrest. An ```markdown ``` Ideal Cot for Baby. ordinary kitchen table or common sewing table with the legs sawed off about half way will afford untold comfort to the children at their work or play. It should be painted white and should rest firmly on the floor. Low chairs should also be provided. These may be pine kitchen chairs with the legs sawed off. Added to this, there should be some shelves with drawers where work and playthings can be kept within easy reach. Such an equipment as this, in a sunny, cheerful room, with plenty of fresh air, and warmed in winter to 68 degrees, will provide an amount of happiness to the child quite out of all proportion to the cost.

Contributions will be gladly accepted. Before a house packed to the very doors, Young Joe Gans came through with another victory last night, winning a 12-round decision over Young McCullogh. McCullogh, called the knockout king, was still trying to hit Gans at an early hour this morning. He scored twice during the bout, one blow on the shoulder and the other on Gans' right hip. McCullogh was beaten all the way and the decision of Referee Hart was a good one. John Donaldson, the famed Negro pitcher, will make his first Kansas City appearance of the season Sunday at Association Park, when he will hurl for the Schmelzers against the Kansas Side Giants, a Negro team. Donaldson just arrived from Los Angeles, where, it is said, he pitched twenty-two games and lost only three of them. Opposed to Donaldson Sunday will be another Negro star, Rogan, a member of the Twenty-fifth Infantry at Honolulu, is here on a furlough and will pitch for the Kansas Side Giants. Miss C.

The wonderful exhibition put up by the great Howard Drew in Brooklyn, last Friday evening, is a signal for renewed athletic activity among the athletes. That the wonderful sprinter is himself again after last season's breakdown is best shown by the two remarkable races of last week, when he showed two trials at the Century in 10 1-5 seconds indoors. A GREAT CAST. Possibly the greatest musicale event in recent years was the rendition last Thursday night of the Oratoria "Elijah," by the famous Elijah Chorus at Boston, Mass., of which Dr. W. O. Taylor is conductor. The accompaniers were Frederick P. White at the organ and Mrs. L. Ray Beale and Wm. H. Lawrence at the piano with a selected orchestra and the chorus augmented by the Columbia Glee Club of Boston. The soloists were Miss Rachel Walker, of Cleveland, Ohio, prima donna soprano; Harry T. Burleigh of New York, the famous composer and soloist; baritone; Miss Marion Anderson of Philadelphia, Pa., one of the race's most remarkable contralto, and the unapproachable Roland W. Hayes of Boston, tenor. That this was a great production goes without saving. Rooms to Rent FOR RENT—Four rooms furnished, bath, electricity and gas to a couple for $17.50 a month. 412 Steptoe.
